[ $Co_{1-x}Fe_xSb_3$ ] skutterudites were synthesized by encapsulated induction melting and their thermoelectric properties were investigated. Single phase ${\delta}-CoSb_3$ was successfully obtained by the subsequent heat treatment at 773 K for 24 hours in vacuum. However, ${\delta}-CoSb_3$ was decomposed to FeSb2 and Sb when $x{\leq}0.3$, which means that the solubility limit of Fe to Co is x<0.3. The positive signs of Seebeck coefficients for all Fe-doped specimens revealed that Fe atoms acted as p-type dopants by substituting Co atoms. Thermoelectric properties were remarkably enhanced by Fe doping and optimum composition was found to be $Co_{0.7}Fe_{0.3}Sb_3$ in this study.

3,3-Dimethyl-1-butene ($C_6H_{12}$) monomer를 이용하여 RF power와 압력에 따라 막을 증착하였다. Power/pressure (W/Torr)가 증가할수록 증착된 비정질 탄소막은 FT-IR 스펙트럼에서 $CH_x$ (at around $2900cm^{-1}$)는 감소하였지 만 elastic modulus는 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a cytoprotective and homeostatic molecule with important signaling capabilities in physiological and pathophysiological situations. CO protects cells/tissues from damage by free radicals or oxidative stress. NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) is a highly inducible enzyme that is regulated by the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway, which is central to efficient detoxification of reactive metabolites and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Methods: We generated NQO1 promoter construct. HepG2 cells were treated with CO Releasing Molecules-2 (CORM-2) or CO gas and the gene expressions were measured by RT-PCR, immunoblot, and luciferase assays. Results: CO induced expression of NQO1 in human hepatocarcinoma cell lines by activation of Nrf2. Exposure of HepG2 cells to CO resulted in significant induction of NQO1 in dose- and time-dependent manners. Analysis of the NQO1 promoter indicated that an antioxidant responsible element (ARE)-containing region was critical for the CO-induced Nrf2-dependent increase of NQO1 gene expression in HepG2 cells. Conclusion: Our results suggest that CO-induced Nrf2 increases the expression of NQO1 which is well known to detoxify reactive metabolites and ROS.

Whole genome sequence of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai (Oleaceae) cultivar Ok Hwang 1 Ho, which is Korean endemic species, was recently sequenced to understand its characteristics. Acteoside is one of major useful compounds presenting various activities, and its several proposed biochemical pathways were reviewed and integrated to make precise biochemical pathway. Utilizing MetaPre-AI^TM which was developed for predicting secondary metabolites based on whole genome with the precise biochemical pathway of acteoside and the InfoBoss Pathway Database, we successfully rescued all enzymes involved in this pathway from the genome sequences, presenting that A. distichum cultivar Ok Hwang 1 Ho may produce acteoside. High-performance liquid chromatography result displayed that callus of A. distichum cultivar Ok Hwang 1 Ho contained acteoside as well as isoacteoside which may be derived from acteoside. Taken together, we successfully showed that MetaPre-AI^TM can predict secondary metabolite from plant whole genomes. In addition, this method will be efficient to predict secondary metabolites of many plant species because DNA can be analyzed more stability than chemical compounds.

In this work, we have conducted 3D-QSAR studies on a series of acanthonic acid derivatives that act as COX-2 inhibitors, using two different methods: comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity indices analysis (CoMSIA). CoMFA and CoMSIA analysis of twenty five pimarane analogues produced good models with high predictive abilities. (omitted)

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of post-harvest CO₂ treatment on the quality of the 'Gonji-7ho' oyster mushroom. The harvested mushrooms were pre-cooled at 3℃ for 1 day and placed in a gas-tight chamber with 0%, 30%, or 50% of CO₂ concentration for 3 hours at 3℃. Next, 400 g of the oyster mushroom sample was packaged into 20-㎛ thick oriented polypropylene (OPP) film bags and stored at 4℃ for 21 days. Treatment with 30% of CO₂ treatment maintained the highest stipe firmness of the oyster mushrooms during storage. The stipe lightness (CIE L^⁎) was the highest at 14 and 21 days, while the stipe yellowness (CIE b^⁎) was the lowest at 2 and 7 days of storage. Therefore, we concluded that the 30% CO₂ treatment maintained the overall visual quality of the 'Gonji-7ho' oyster mushroom until 17 days of storage at 3℃. Our results suggest that the shelf life of 'Gonji-7ho' oyster mushroom could be extended by the postharvest application of 30% CO₂ for 3 hours during low temperature storage.

본 연구에서는 $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$ 혼합 정극활물질로 사용하여 전극을 제작하고 성능을 평가하였다. $LiCoO_2/LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$와 $LiCoO_2$의 혼합비에 따른 충방전 거동 및 임피던스 변화를 측정하였다. 각 조성에서의 초기용량은 160 ~ 170 mAh/g 정도였으며, $LiNi_{1/3}Mn_{1/3}Co_{1/3}O_2$의 첨가 비율이 증가함에 따라 비용량이 증가하였으나 고율에서의 방전용량은 낮았다.
