In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the object function used in optimal control or optimal design that sets the object function as simultaneous and then calculates the optimal value according to the Newton method. The proposed method calculates the optimal value simply using two inputs; object function and initial value, using the DDA(Direct Derivative Algorithm) which is a programmed ordinary derivative function that does not inquire the calculation of derivative function nor any inputs. And we have verified the usefulness of the algorithm for the optimal control and optimal dosing.

The confidence of new technology development for NO_x$ components elimination is obtained as conclusion based 1ike followings ; 1) The technology using PSC spark is a excellent methods for NO_x$ components elimination above 70% without by-product pollutants. 2) Some materials like Oxygen, Vaporized Water and Ammonia, increase the of NO_x$ elimination by staged addition. 3) Environmental conditions like pulse frequency and peak voltage are the important dosing factors for pollutants elimination effects. 4) As the PSC technic is the up-to-date one for pollutions elimination the research and development must be executed continuously for the purpose of theoretical establishment. And the application field must be broaden in future.

Alcohol is a vesatile polar solvent for molecules. As a preparation to deposit large molecules, we studied interaction of solvent molecules on metallic surface. in this work, we report on methanol adsorption on NiAl(110) with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). These alcohol solvent molecules were deposited by a pulse injection method suitable for deposition of thermally unstable molecules. The injection of liquid alcohol onto the substrate in UHV was performed by using a high-speed solenoid valve with the back-pressure reduced down to 100 Torr. This technique allowed precise control over the amount of dosing of molecules to less than 1 L. Alcohol-induced features, attributed to methoxy, were found on bare NiAl(110) surface.

We fabricate the conductive zinc oxide(ZnO) thin film using UV-enhanced atomic layer deposition. ZnO is semiconductor with a wide band gap(3.37eV) and transparent in the visible region. ZnO can be deposited with various method, such as metal organic chemical vapour deposition, magnetron sputtering and pulsed laser ablation deposition. In this experiment, ZnO thin films was deposited by atomic layer deposition using diethylzinc (DEZ) and D.I water as precursors with UV irradiation during water dosing. As a function of UV exposure time, the resistivity of ZnO thin films decreased dramatically. We were able to confirm that UV irradiation is one of the effective way to improve conductivity of ZnO thin film. The resistivity was investigated by 4 point probe. Additionally, we confirm the thin film composition is ZnO by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. We anticipate that this UV-enhanced ZnO thin film can be applied to electronics or photonic devices as transparent electrode.

The primary routes of drug administration include oral, intramuscular, subcutaneous and intravenous dosing for toxicological risk assessment purpose in dog. There has been an increase applying transdermal patches as an alternate method for systemic delivery. The present study was performed to establish the transdermal delivery method of medicated ointment, liquid and powder material to beagle dog.(omitted)

Administration of 3 type KGCs [recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF)] to mice with cyclophosphamide (CPA)-induced neutropenia for 4 consecutive days from the day after the CPA dosing (100 mg/kg) resulted in a dose dependent increase in the peripheral blood neutrophil count 6 hours after the final KGC injection. Within the KGC dose range of 0.1 to 40$\mu$g Per mouse Per day, there was a sigmoidal relationship between the logarithm of the dose and the peripheral blood neutrophil count (relative value for neutrophil count of the basal dose) in the treated mice. The sigmoidal relationship of test KGC preparations shows that there is a saturation point in terms of efficacy. Compared with e(fact of KGC-Orange, Green, and Blue, KGC-Orange recovers neutrophils more effectively than the others do.

DWP401, a recombinant human epidermal growth factor, was subcutaneously administered to ICR mice at the dose levels of 0, 0.04, 0.2 and 1.0 mg/kg/day (15rats/sex/group) in order to evaluate the subchronic toxicity. General observations, examinations for food and water consumption, ophthalmoscopy and urinalysis were carried out during the study. For the complete gross and microscopic examinations, 10 mice/ sex/group were sacrificed at the ends of the dosing period, and the remaining animals were sacrificed with a 5 week recovery period. Examinations for hematology and blood biochemistry were also carried out at the time of recovery period. Based on the results, it was thought that the target tissue or organs were mesothelial cell, injection site, spleen, adrenal gland, ovary and transitional epithelial cell of urinary tract, and no observed toxic level of DWP401 was 0.04 mg/kg while definite toxic dose level might be 0.2 mg/kg.

The field of cytochrome P450 pharmacogenomics has progressed rapidly during the past 25 years. Recently, conjugating enzymes including sulfotransferase, acetyltransferase, glucuronosyltransferase and glutathione transferase have been also extensively studied. All the major human drug-metabolizing P450 enzymes and some conjugating enzymes have been identified and cloned, and the major gene variants that cause inter-individual variability in drug response and are related to adverse drug reactions have been identified. This information now provides the basis for the use of predictive pharmacogenomics to yield drug therapies that are more efficient and safer. Today, we understand which drugs warrant dosing based on pharmacogenomics to improve drug treatment. It is anticipated that genotyping could be used to personalize drug treatment for vast numbers of subjects, decreasing the cost of drug treatment and increasing the efficacy of drugs and health in general. It is assumed that such personalized P450 gene-based treatment which is so-called tailor(order)-made drug therapy would be relevant for 10-20% of all drug therapy in the future.

This study was performed to find effective measuring methods of retention and drainage by comparing traditional measuring methods of Britt jar, Canadian standard freeness tester methods and recently developed RDA-HSF with multi-channel turbidimeter method. At the result, Multi-channel turbidimeter method was useful to measure retention and efficiency of multiple chemical dosing system. A system CSF equipped with the balance recorder was also useful to obtain dynamic drainage information including initial drainage rate and final drainage amount. Therefore, we consider these new measuring systems would be helpful to advance retention and drainage technology.

Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a consequence of the failure of a decrease in the elevated pulmonary vascular resistance after birth. Pulmonary vasodilators, including inhaled nitric oxide (iNO), have been the mainstream of targeted therapy for PPHN, but no drugs have been proven to be effective in preterm infants with PPHN. The fetus remains hemodynamically stable despite lower arterial oxygen tension and pulmonary blood flow as compared to full-term newborns. This adaptation is due to the lower oxygen requirement and high oxygen-carrying capacity of fetal circulation. The immature lungs of preterm infants are more vulnerable to reactive oxygen species, and the response of pulmonary vascular dilatation to blood oxygen tension is blunted in preterm infants. Recently, iNO has been reported to be effective in a selected group of preterm infants, such as those with prolonged preterm rupture of membrane-oligohydramnios-pulmonary hypoplasia sequence. PPHN in preterm infants, along with maximum supportive treatment based on fetal physiology and meticulous assessment of cardiovascular function, is in dire need of new treatment guidelines, including optimal dosing strategies for pulmonary vasodilators.
