기존의 태양광 시스템은 대체로 고정된 형태로 사용되었지만 태양광 시스템의 응용분야가 확장됨에 따라 전기자동차, 웨어러블 기기 등의 이동식 태양광 시스템 또한 많이 개발되고 있다. 이동식 태양광 시스템의 경우 불균일한 태양빛에 많이 노출되며, 이러한 불균일한 태양빛은 극심한 시스템 효율 저하를 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 시스템 효율 저하 문제를 해결하기 위해 differential power processing (DPP) 컨버터를 병렬로 적용한 photovoltaic (PV) 충전 가방을 제시하였다. DPP 컨버터는 PV 충전 가방이 불균일한 태양빛에 노출되어도, 각각의 태양전지가 고유의 최대 전력점에서 작동하도록 제어하는 역할을 한다. PV 충전 가방은 4개의 태양전지로 구성되어 있으며 충분한 태양빛 아래, 5 W의 출력전력을 가질 수 있다. PV 충전 가방은 하나의 front-end 컨버터와 4개의 DPP 컨버로 구성되었으며, P-SIM 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 front-end 컨버터와 DPP 컨버터의 정상 작동을 입증하였다. 또한 동일한 태양빛에 노출된 경우, 기존의 연결 방법 중 하나인 병렬 배열은 1.49 W의 출력 전력을 가진 반면, DPP 시스템은 4.35 W의 출력 전력을 가져 약 3배 높은 출력 전력을 확인하였다.

Drosophila Sog and vertebrate Noggin play important roles during development. They function as antagonists against BMP4 signaling and induce neural ectoderm during embryogenesis. They are also engaged in appendage formation by inhibiting BMP4 signaling during late development. To understand further functions of Sog, Supersog, which is a more potent form of Sog, and Noggin BMP4 antagonists during development, I performed the molecular genetic analysis using Drosophila embryogenesis and wing formation as assay systems. In cellular blastoderm embryos, Sog inhibited Dpp signaling, Drosophila BMP4 signaling, whereas Supersog or Noggin did not block Dpp signaling. During wing formation, Sog inhibited Sax type I receptor of Dpp signaling whereas Noggin inhibited Tkv type I receptor of Dpp signaling. However, Supersog inhibited both Sax and Tkv type I receptors. These results suggest that functions of BMP4 antagonists are developmental stage dependent and indicate that each BMP4 antagonist inhibits BMP4 signaling by blocking different BMP4 receptors.

Bioactive peptides generated from milk proteins play an important role in the prevention and alleviation of diabetes. Whey proteins possess direct insulinotropic effect by amino acids (especially branch chain amino acids) produced through its gastrointestinal digestion. Additionally, blood glucose level can be lowered by gut hormone which called incretin [glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)]. However, physiological effects of incretin readily disappeared by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) causing degradation of GLP-1. Several DPP-4 inhibitors are currently used as therapeutic medicines for the treatment of type II diabetes. More than 60 natural peptide (2-14 amino acids) DPP-4 inhibitors were identified in milk proteins. Peptide DPP-4 inhibitors act as substrate inhibitor and delay breakdown of GLP-1 both in vitro and in vivo. This review summarizes nutritional quality of milk proteins, absorption and mode of action of bioactive peptides, and finally up-to-dated knowledge on DPP-4 inhibitory peptides derived from milk proteins.

Organic dye-doped glasses, viz., ruthenium (II) tris(4,7'-diphenyl-1,10'-phenanthroline) $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ incorporated into thin silica xerogel films produced by the sol-gel method, were prepared and their $O_2$ quenching properties investigated as a function of the $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ concentration (3-400 ${\mu}M$) within the xerogel. The ratio of the luminescence from the $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$-doped films in the presence of $N_2$ and $O_2$ ($I_{N2}/I_{O2}$) was used to describe the film sensitivity to $O_2$ quenching. ($I_{N2}/I_{O2}$ changed three-fold over the $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ concentration range. Time-resolved intensity decay studies showed that there are two discrete $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ populations within the xerogels (${\tau}_1$ ~ 300 ns; ${\tau}_2$ ~ 3000 ns) whose relative fraction changes as the $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ concentration changes. The increased $O_2$ sensitivity that is observed at the higher $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ concentrations is a manifestation of a greater fraction of the 3000 ns $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ species (more susceptible to $O_2$ quenching). A model is presented to describe the observed response characteristics resulting from $[Ru(dpp)_3]^{2+}$ distribution within the xerogel.

(2, 3-Dibromopropyl) phenyl phosphate[DPP] was synthesized from 2, 3-dibromopropyl alcohol and chlorophenyl phosphate. Also, (2, 3,-dibromopropyl)phenyl octadecyl phosphate[DPOP] was synthesized from DPP and n-octadecyl chloride. Flame retardants, DPPF and DPOPF, were prepared by blending DPP and DPOP with emulsifier, respectively. The flame retardants prepared were o/w(oil in water) type emulsion flame retardants. As a result of treatments of the flame retardants on various synthetic textiles, DPPF showed only good flame retardancy, but DPOPF showed both good flame retardancy and good softness.

Early gonadal development and sexual differentiation of dark-banded rockfish (Sebastes inermis Cuvier) were followed from parturition to 400 days post parturition (dpp). During this period, average total length (TL) increased from 0.57 to 13.18 cm. Primordial germ cells (PGCs) were first detected at 0.68 cm TL (10 dpp). When fish reached 1.52 cm TL (50 dpp), initial stages of ovarian differentiation were identified by the presence of PGCs containing condensed chromatin and their transformation into meiotic oocytes. At 10.23 cm TL (300 dpp), the ovaries gradually developed into oocytes in the primary yolk stages. Ovary growth was rapid after sex differentiation, but testis tissue continued to multiply without growing until fish reached 6.97 cm TL (200 dpp), after which the production of spermatocytes, spermatogonia, and cyst cells was apparent. Histological analysis of gonadal structure suggested a gonochoristic sexual development pathway. Our analysis of the sex ratio at 400 dpp showed a significantly higher proportion of males.

We have examined the induction of HL-60 cell differentiation by treatment of 2-chloromethyl-1-dihydroxyphosphinyl pyrrolidine(2C-1DPP), which is derivative of piperidine and pyrrolidine by ${\alpha}-phosphoramidoakylation$ reaction. It was observed that HL-60 cell proliferation was dose- and time-dependently inhibited by treatment with 2C-1DPP. 2C-1DPP treatment caused a significant change in NBT reduction and enhanced ATRA-induced NBT reduction. Treatment of 2C-1DPP to HL-60 cells increased only CD11b expression in the cells, and also increased markedly G0/G1 stage arrest of HL-60 cells. These results can suggest that 2C-1DPP induced the differentiation of HL-60 cells to granulocytes lineage and enhanced ATRA-induced differentiation. Moreover, DNA expression levels of p27 were up-regulated during 2C-1DPP-dependent HL-60 cell differentiation. Our results suggest that 2C-1DPP have potential as a therapeutic agent in human leukemia.

The short in vivo half-life of GLP-1 prevents it from being used clinically. This short half-life occurs because GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidases such as DPP-IV. To overcome this obstacle, a GLP-1/Fc was constructed and evaluated to determine if it was degraded by DPP-IV and in serum. When the degradation of GLP-1/Fc by human DPP-IV and rabbit serum was compared with that of GLP-1 it was found to be reduced by approximately 5- and 4-fold, respectively. Furthermore, GLP-1/Fc showed a potent activity for human GLP-1 receptor activation ($EC_{50}$ approximately 6 nM). Taken together, these results indicate that GLP-1/Fc may have an extended half-life in vivo that occurs as a result of inhibition of degradation by human DPP-IV. Due to the extended half life, GLP-1/Fc may be useful for clinical treatments.
