SU-8 is an epoxy-type photoresist widely used for the fabrication of high-aspect-ratio (HAR) micro-structures in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). To fabricate highly integrated structures, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) has emerged as the preferred manufacturing process for planarizing the MEMS structure. In SU-8 CMP, an oxidizer decomposes organic impurities and particles in the CMP slurry remove the chemically reacted surface of SU-8. To fabricate HAR microstructures using the CMP process, the adhesion between SU-8 and substrate material is important to avoid the delamination of the SU-8 film caused by the mechanical-dominant material removal characteristic. In this study, the friction force during the CMP process is measured with a CMP monitoring system to detect the delamination phenomenon and investigate the delamination of the SU-8 film from the silicon substrate under various pressure conditions. The increase in applied pressure causes an increase in the frictional force and wafer-edge stress concentration. The frictional force measurement shows that the friction force changes according to the delamination phenomenon of the SU-8 film, and that it is possible to monitor the delamination phenomenon during the SU-8 CMP process. The delamination at a high applied pressure is explained by the effect of stress distribution and pad deformation. Consequently, it is necessary to control the pressure of polishing, which can avoid the delamination in SU-8 CMP.

Sphingosine kinase (SPHK) has a central role to control cell death and cell proliferation, which is suggested as a sphingolipid rheostat by regulating the levels between ceramide and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). Therefore, physiological regulators of SPHK will be a good candidate to develop a new targeted drug. For this purpose, a series of synthetic pseudoceramides were tested by SPHK assay either cell-based or cell-free system. K10PC-5 strongly inhibited SPHK, while K6PC-5 activated SPHK in cell-free system. Specifically, K6PC-5 activated SPHK under the co-treatment with $50\;{\mu}M$ dimethylsphingosine (DMS), a SPHK inhibitor. Collectively, we developed a simple SPHK assay system to find SPHK regulatory pseudoceramide compounds, K10PC-5 and K6PC-5 which may be useful to cancer treatment or immune regulation like FTY720, a synthetic sphingolipid mimetic compound.

이제 HACCP가 무엇이며 왜 이것을 단체 급식소에 적용해야 할 것인가의 것은 더 이상 논의 과제가 아니다. 문제는 어떻게 HACCP 원리를 주방 동선 구성에 적용할 것이며 동시에 이 원리 기준에 적합한 주방 기계 선정 및 운영 절차는 무엇인가에 관한 하드웨어적 접근에 관심이 모여지고 있다. 작은 정부를 주장하는 메리랜드 주에서는 미국에서 최초로 새로운 조리 시설을 짓거나 전반적 보수공사 하는 모든 외식업체는 HACCP Plan을 제출한 후 통과된 경우에 한하여 공사 허가서를 내어주고 있다. 이로써 업체 종사원 스스로가 위생 상태를 점검 기록함으로 함으로 식중독 사고를 사전에 예방함과 동시에 공무원의 업체 방문을 최소화 하여 적은 인원으로 효율적인 주 정부 운영을 하고 있는 것이다. 또한 자발적으로 많은 외식 업체들이 마케팅 차원에서 경쟁 업체와의 차별화 정책의 일환으로 스스로 서둘러 HACCP를 도입하고 있다. 워싱턴 DC지역에서는 요식협회 스스로 HACCP를 도입한 외식업소에 "Extra Step"이라는 로고를 사용케 하고 있다. 이로써 보다 많은 고객들이 이 로고를 보고 해당 식당을 선택토록 광고의 효과를 더 하기 위함이다. 당연히 이와 같은 추세에 따라 유럽과 미국의 세계적인 주방 기기 메이커들도 미국의 National Sanitation Foundation(NSF), US Dept of Agriculture(USDA) 및 FDA 의 규제 흐름에 따라 상당히 빠른 속도로 HACCP 원리에 적합한 기능을 기계적으로 보완해 가고 있다. 최근 4/15/98, FDA가 대량 급식소를 포함한 주방의 HACCP 적용매뉴얼을 인터넷 web 주소 http://vm.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/ hret-1.htm 통하여 발표한 내용과 미 육군의 식당 위생 기술 자료 TB MED 530 자료, 그리고 87년 12월 이후 (주)HRS 에서 기계 설치 사후 관리하면서 경험한 사항을 중심으로 다음 내용을 정리해 보고자 한다.리해 보고자 한다.

Reflecting the growing importance of nanomaterials in science and technology, controlling the porosity combined with well-defined structural properties has been an ever-demanding pursuit in the related fields of frontier researches. A number of reports have focused on the synthesis of various nanoporous materials so far and, recently, the nanomaterials with multimodal porosity are getting an emerging importance due to their improved material properties compared with the mono porous materials. However, most of those materials are obtained in bulk phases while the spherical nanoparticles are one of the most practical platforms in a great number of applications. Here, we report on the synthesis of the core-shell silica nanoparticles with double mesoporous shells (DMSs). The DMS nsnoparticles are spherical and monodispersive and have two different mesoporous shells, i.e., the bimodal porosity. It is the first example of the core-shell silica nanoparticles with the different mesopores coexisting in the individual nanoparticles. Furthermore, the carbon and silica hollow capsules were also fabricated via a serial replication process.

In this study, the concentrations of major odorous compounds including reduced sulfur compounds (OMS, CS$_2$, and DMDS) and aromatic VOC (benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.) were measured continuously using an on-line GC analytical system. Our measurements were made from a residential area of Ansan sity during about two week period of October, 2004. The highest mean concentrations of Sand VOC were found as 56.9 pbb of DMS and 21.7 ppb of toluene, respectively. The results of this study generally show that the pollution levels for both types of chemicals are significant relative to previous measurement results reported from comparable sites, if the results are compared simply in terms of the magnitude of the measured concentration data. Moreover, when the relative importance of different compounds is compared in terms of the odor strength, it indicated that the contribution of reduced S compounds may be much more important than that of VOC in the study area.

Usually the static scheduling algorithms such as DMS (Deadline Monotonic Scheduling) or RMS(Rate Monotonic Scheduling) are used for CAN scheduling due to its ease with implementation. However, due to their inherently low utilization of network media, some dynamic scheduling approaches have been studied to enhance the utilization. In case of dynamic scheduling algorithms, two considerations are needed. The one is a priority inversion due to rough deadline encoding into stricted arbitration fields of CAN. The other is an arbitration delay due to the non-preemptive feature of CAN. In this paper, an extended algorithm is proposed from an existing EDS(Earliest Deadline Scheduling) approach of CAN scheduling algorithm haying a solution to the priority inversion. In the proposed algorithm, the available bandwidth of network media can be checked dynamically by all nodes. Through the algorithm, arbitration delay causing the miss of their deadline can be avoided in advance. Also non real-time messages can be processed with their bandwidth allocation. The proposed algorithm can achieve full network utilization and enhance aperiodic responsiveness, still guaranteeing the transmission of periodic messages.

Quantities of data in the DMS (Distribution management system) or SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition) system is enormously large as illustrated by the usage of term flooding of data. This enormous quantity of data is transmitted to the status data or event data of the on-site apparatus in real-time. In addition, if GIS (Geographic information system) and AMR (Automatic meter reading), etc are integrated, the quantity of data to be processed in real-time increases unimaginably. Increase in the quantity of data due to addition of system or increase in the on-site facilities cannot be handled through the currently used Single Thread format of data processing technology. However, if Multi Thread technology that utilizes LF-POOL (Leader Follower -POOL) is applied in processing large quantity of data, large quantity of data can be processed in short period of time and the load on the server can be minimized. In this Study, the actual materialization and functions of LF POOL technology are examined.

We report on the ferromagnetic characteristics of $Zn_{1-x}Mn_xO$ films (x = 0.3) prepared by sol-gel method on the silicon and (0001) ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ substrates at the annealing temperature of 700$^{\circ}C$. Magnetic measurements show that Curie temperature ($T_C$) and the coercive field ($H_C$) for the film on the silicon are about 32 K and about 275 Oe, while those for that on the sapphire are about 32 K and 425 Oe, respectively. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements suggest that ferromagnetic precipitates originated by manganese oxide compound formed at the interfaces of the both substrates may be responsible for the observed ferromagnetic behavior of the films. Electron paramagnetic resonance study of the powders up to the concentration of x=0.15 supports the result.
