Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polymer consisting of disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. It has a great potential and success in cosmetic and biomedical applications. However, native HA is highly soluble and easily metabolized by enzymes such as hyaluronidase. Thus, various studies have been reported on modifying the physicochemical properties of HA, while maintaining its biocompatibility. For controlled drug delivery, many trials for fabricating HA microspheres were achieved under chemical reaction. The HA microspheres fabricated to improve the physical stability of HA using adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) by cross-linking reaction has been reported earlier, however it lacks the desired physical stability and rapidly decomposes by swelling or enzymes. Therefore, we prepared double cross-linked HA microspheres (DC-HA microspheres) and alginate containing HA microspheres (AC-HA microspheres) to enhance its physicochemical properties. DC-HA microspheres were prepared using trisodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) under crosslinking reaction after ADH cross-linking reaction. AC-HA microspheres were prepared by adding alginate as a networking polymer. These microspheres were characterized by morphology, particle size, zeta potential, stability against hyaluronidase. Results showed that the DC-HA and AC-HA microspheres are more stable than that of HA microspheres.

염기성 용액에서 가벼운 란탄족 원소 착물의 전기화학적 거동을 직류(DC), 펄스차이 폴라로그래피(DPP), 순환전압전류법(CV) 및 정전위 전기분해법으로 조사하였다. 란탄이온들은 NaCl 지지전해질에서 o-cresolphthalexon(OCP)과 1:1로 배위하였으며, 전극반응은 2단계 1전자 환원반응이었다. 착물의 반파전위는 pH에 따라 변화하였으며 환원전류는 흡착성을 나타냈다. DC 및 CV에서 첫번째 1전자 환원반응은 유사가역적 거동을 나타냈으며, 환원 뒤에 형성된 음이온 라디칼은 이합체와 반응을 하였다. 두번째 환원파는 전자전이 반응에 이어 생성된 카르보 음이온의 빠른 양성자 첨가반응으로 비가역적 거동을 나타냈다. -1.80V에서 정전위 전해시간이 증가함에 따라 착물의 질은 청색은 점점 옅어져서 무색이 되었으며, 최종생성물은 전기적으로 비활성이었다. 따라서 Ln-OCP 착물의 단계적인 전극반응은 ECEC 메카니즘으로 제안되었다.

본 연구에서는 광 전기화학적 물 분해 전극 재료로 이용되는 산화철($Fe_2O_3$, hematite)을 표면적을 크게 하기 위하여 DC 열플라즈마 장치를 이용하여 나노입자로 합성한 후 전극을 제조 시 binder의 종류 및 조성을 다르게 하여 염기성 전해질에서 각각의 물 분해 효율을 측정하는 실험을 진행하였으며 질소 도핑을 통해 질소가 산화철의 광전기화학 반응에 끼치는 영향을 확인하였다. 산화철 전극을 제조하여 solar simulator를 이용한 LSV 실험을 통해 각 전극의 onset potential 및 설정한 전압 범위에서의 최대 전류밀도를 측정하였으며, 전극의 내구성 평가를 위하여 LSV 실험을 반복하여 진행하였다. CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)를 50 : 1의 비율로 섞어 binder로 이용한 산화철 전극이 가장 높은 전류밀도인 $12mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도를 나타내었고, CMC를 20 : 1 비율로 섞은 binder를 이용할 시 $3mA/cm^2$의 초기 전류밀도를 가지고 약 20회의 반복 실험을 견뎌내는 내구성을 나타내었다. 질소의 도핑이 산화철 나노입자의 광 전기 화학적 반응에 끼치는 영향은 미미한 것으로 확인되었다.

Understanding of heat generation in semiconductor devices is important in the thermal management of integrated circuits and in the analysis of the device physics. Scanning thermal microscope was used to measure the temperature and the electric potential distribution on the cross-section of an operating metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The temperature distributions were measured both in DC and AC modes in order to take account of the leakage current. The measurement results showed that as the drain bias was increased the hot spot moved to the drain. The density of the iso-potential lines near the drain increased with the increase in the drain bias.

So far, The methods for identifying the parameters of some region or material have been developed. This paper describes a new method for electric resistivity reconstruction using multi-resolution property of wavelet. The outputs of the potential electrodes are computed using two dimensional FEM in the wave number space by Fourier transforming the governing equation. The resistance distribution in the region of interests, which makes the computed potential distribution coincide with the measured potential, is found by minimizing the objective function using an optimization method. Multi-resolution analysis introduced in this paper will be proved to be the proper method in the viewpoint of effectivity and time-consuming by the numerical results.

There is increasing evidence that natural killer (NK) cells play an important role in antitumor immunity following dendritic cell (DC) vaccination. Little is known, however, about the optimal stimulation of DCs by epitopes and NK interactions for cytotoxicity in tumors. In this study, DC cells activated by the HPV16E7.49-57 epitope and LPS were co-cultured with NK cells in vitro, and then used ot immunize mice to study CTL activity of TC-1, which constitutively expresses HPV16E6E7, with an LDH release assay. Cytotoxicity in mice immunized with DC loaded with epitope HPVE7.49-57 vaccine co-cultured with NK was enhanced significantly (p<0.01). In conclusion, talk-across between DC and NK cells enhances their functions, also improving cytotoxicity againsttumor cells, suggesting that activated DC-NK by epitopes has potential application for cancer-specific immuno-cellular therapy.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cause of cancer related death of women. Persistent HPV infection, especially with high-risk types such as HPV16 and HPV18, has been identified to be the primary cause of cervical cancer. E6 and E7 are the major oncoproteins of high-risk HPVs, which are expressed exclusively in HPV infected tissues, and thereby represent ideal therapeutic targets for immunotherapy of cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: In this work, we used recombinant adenovirus expressing coden-optimized HPV16 E6 and E7 fusion protein (Ad-ofE6E7) to prime dendritic cells (DC-ofE6E7), to investigate the ability of primed DC vaccine in eliciting antitumor immunity in vitro and vivo. Results: Our results indicated that DC-ofE6E7 vaccine co-culturing with splenocytes could strongly induce a tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response and kill the TC-1 cells effectively in vitro. Moreover, DC-ofE6E7 vaccine induced protective immunity against the challenge of TC-1 cancer cells in vivo. Conclusions: The results suggested that the HPV16 ofE6E7 primed DC vaccine has potential application for cervical cancer immunotherapy.

A novel algorithm is proposed to regulate the neutral point potential in neutral point clamped three-level inverters. Oscillations of the neutral point potential and an unbalanced dc-link voltage cause distortions of the output voltage. Large capacitors, which make the application costly and bulky, are needed to eliminate oscillations. Thus, the algorithm proposed in this paper utilizes the finite-control-set model predictive control and the multistage medium vector to solve these issues. The proposed strategy consists of a two-step prediction and a cost function to evaluate the selected multistage medium vector. Unlike the virtual vector method, the multistage medium vector is a mixture of the virtual vector and the original vector. In addition, its amplitude is variable. The neutral point current generated by it can be used to adjust the neutral point potential. When compared with the virtual vector method, the multistage medium vector contributes to decreasing the regulation time when the modulation index is high. The vectors are rearranged to cope with the variable switching frequency of the model predictive control. Simulation and experimental results verify the validity of the proposed strategy.

Al is a active metal that owes its resistance to a thin, protective, barrier oxide surface layer, which is stable in air and neutral aqueous solution. Thus Al alloys are widely used in architectural trim. cold & hot-water storage vessels and piping. However Al and most of its alloy may corrode with some forms such as pitting corrosion, intergranular corrosion and galvanic corrosion in the case of exposure to various industrial and marine atmosphere. Therefore a correct evaluation of corrosion resistance for their Al and Al alloys may be more important in a economical point of view. In this study. a relative evaluation of corrosion resistance for three kinds of Al alloys such as ALDC2, ALDC3, and ALDC8 series was carried out with electrochemical method. There is a tendency that corrosion potential is shifted to positive or negative direction by alloying components regardless of corrosion resistance. Moreover the data of corrosion properties obtained from cathodic Polarization curve, cyclic voltammogram and AC. DC impedance respectively showed a good correspondence each other against the corrosion resistance but variation of corrosion potential. passivity current density of anodic polarization curve and corrosion current density by Tafel extrapolation and Stern-Geary method didn't correspond with not only each other but also considerably the data of corrosion properties discussed above. Therefore it is suggested that an optimum electrochemical evaluation for corrosion resistance of Al alloy is to calculate the diffusion limiting current density of cathodic polarization curve, impedance of AC or DC and polarization resistance of cyclic voltammogram.
