This study was aimed to examine the antibacterial and antioxidative properties of seven edible plants from Thailand to develop alternative antibiotics as feed additives. The plants include Citrus aurantifolia Swingle (Lime) fruits and its leaves, Sesbania grandiflora L. (Agati sesbania) leaves, Piper sarmentosum Roxb (Wild betal) leaves, Curcuma domestica Valeton (Turmeric) roots, Morinda citrifolia L. (Beach mulberry) leaves, Cassia siamea britt (Siamea cassia) leaves, and Cocos nucifera L. (Coconut) peels. The plants were extracted by methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water. Antibacterial activities with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were determined by agar diffusion assay against Escherichia coli, Burkholderia sp., Haemopilus somnus, Haemopilus parasuis, and Clostridium perfringens that were considered pathogenic strains in livestock infection. Methanol extracts of C. aurantifolia Swingle fruits and leaves showed the broadest spectrum of antibacterial activities except for C. perfringens. Butanol extract of S. grandiflora L. leaves showed the strongest activity against Burkholderia sp. with MIC, $135{\mu}g/mL$. P. sarmentosum Roxb leaves showed antibacterial activities against E. coli, Burkholderia sp. and H. parasuis. Ethyl acetate and water extracts from C. domesitca Valeton roots showed MIC of $306{\mu}g/mL$ and $183{\mu}g/mL$, respectively against only C. perfringens. Antioxidative activity was determined by 2-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl photometric assay. The methanol extracts of C. aurantifolia Swingle fruits and P. sarmentosum Roxb leaves showed the highest antioxidant activity among all the extracts with 3.46 mg/mL and 2.70 mg/mL effective concentration 50% ($EC_{50}$) values, respectively. Total contents of phenolics and flavonoids were measured from the plant extracts. Methanol extracts of S. grandiflora L. and chloroform extracts of C. domestica Valeton were found to have the highest amount of total phenolics, 41.7 and $47.8{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Flavonoid content of methanol extracts in S. grandiflora L. T was $22.5{\mu}g/mL$ and the highest among plant extracts tested. These results indicated that C. aurantifolia Swingle, S. grandiflora L., P. sarmentosum Roxb, and C. domestica Valeton have antibacterial and antioxidant activities and can be used as alternative antibiotics or potential feed additives for the control of animal pathogenic bacteria.

본 연구는 아크롤레인의 선택산화반응에서 Mo-V-O와 금속산화물의 기계적 혼합촉매에 대한 synergy 효과를 고찰한 것으로 금속산화물로는 $SnO_2$, ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$, $WO_3$, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$, CuO, $MnO_2$, $Cu_2O$, MgO, CoO 그리고 ZnO 등을 사용하였다. $SnO_2$나 ${\alpha}-Sb_2O_4$와 Mo-V-O의 혼합물 촉매는 Mo-V-O보다 높은 전화율과 수율을 나타내었는데 이것은 이들이 산소 빈자리에 해리 홉착된 산소를 형성하여 Mo-V-O에 전달하는 상간협동에 의한 것으로 판단된다 그러나 $Cu_2O$, MgO, CuO, $MnO_2$와 Mo-V-O의 혼합물 촉매의 경우 전화율은 증가하였으나 수율은 감소하였고, CoO와 ZnO는 Mo-V-O의 촉매성능을 억제하였다. 각 금속산화물의 역할이 서로 다른 점을 그들의 산화-환원 특성으로 설명하였다.

The effects of alloying elements on the superplastic properties of Al-Li based alloys had been investigated. The intermediate thermo-mechanical treated (ITMT) Al-2.0wt%Li, Al-2.0wt%Li-1.0wt%Mg, Al-2.0wt%Li-0.12wt%Zr and Al-2.0wt%Li-1.2wt%Cu-1.0wt%Mg-0.12wt%Zr alloys were tested in tension at various temperature (400, 450, 500 and $550^{\circ}C$) and strain rate($6.7{\times}10^{-3}$, $1.0{\times}10^{-2}$, $1.6{\times}10^{-2}$ and $5.0{\times}10^{-2}/sec$). The results were as follows : The superplasticity in binary, ternary and pentanary alloys appeared at 500 to $550^{\circ}C$, and good strain rate for superplasticity. $1.6{\times}10^{-2}/sec{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-2}/sec$ for a binary alloy and $1.0{\times}10^{-2}/sec{\sim}6.7{\times}10^{-3}/sec$ for ternary and pentanary alloys. A Zr-added ternary alloy had best value of elongation (730%) in four alloys at $550^{\circ}C$ of tension temperature and $1.0{\times}10^{-2}/sec$ of strain rate. The strain rate was greatly dependent on tension temperature and true strain rate was more than 1.0 at all test temperature and strain rate. In binary and Mg-added teranry alloys. the necks were slightly formed and their fracture surface had lips shape, but Zr-added ternary and pentanary alloy fractured along the grain boundary without necking. Their dislocations moved to grain boundary during superplasticity deformation and arranged perpendicular to grain boundary. Super plastic deformation was made by grain boundary slip of dislocation slip creep and model of core and mantle.

To assess the clinical applicability of bio-artificial mucosa which was made with autologous oral keratinocytes and human acellular dermal matrix, the formation of basement membrane and stratification of oral keratinocytes were evaluated. Six New Zealand white rabbits (around 2kg in weight) were anesthetized and its buccal mucosa was harvested (1.0 $\times$ 0.5cm size). Oral keratinicytes were extracted and cultured primarily with the feeder layer of pretreated NIH J2 3T3 fibroblast. These confluent cells were innoculated on the human acellular dermal matrix and cultured in multiple layer by air-rafting method. After 3, 5, 7, 10, 14 days of culture, each cultured bio-artificial mucosa was investigated the number of epthelial layer of by H&E stain and toluidine blue stain. The immuhohistochemical methods were used to evaluate the cell division capacity, the formation of basement membrane, and it's property of specific cells (PCNA, cytokeratin 14, laminin). Transmission electromicroscopy was used for the attachment between cells and matrix with the number of hemidesmosome. In result, the numbers of layer of stratified growth of oral keratinocyte cultured on the human acellular dermal matrix and the number of hemidesomal attachment between epithelial cells and human acellular dermal matrix were similar to the layers of normal oral mucosa after 10 days of culture. The cell division rate, basement membrane formation and proliferation rate increased as culture period increased. With these results, bio-artificial mucosa with autologous oral epithelial cells cultured on the acellular dermal matrix had clinically adaptable properties after 10 days' culture and this new bio-artificial mucosa model with relatively short culture time can be expected clinical applicability.

Background: Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) is a representative traditional herbal medicine with many different pharmacological properties including anticancer, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-diabetes, and anti-inflammatory activities. Only a few studies have explored the molecular mechanism of KRG-mediated anti-inflammatory activity. Methods: We investigated the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of the protopanaxadiol saponin fraction (PPD-SF) of KRG using in vitro and in vivo inflammatory models. Results: PPD-SF dose-dependently diminished the release of inflammatory mediators [nitric oxide (NO), tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and prostaglandin $E_2$], and downregulated the mRNA expression of their corresponding genes (inducible NO synthase, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, and cyclooxygenase-2), without altering cell viability. The PPD-SF-mediated suppression of these events appeared to be regulated by a blockade of p38, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and TANK (TRAF family member-associated NF-kappa-B activator)-binding kinase 1 (TBK1), which are linked to the activation of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2) and interferon regulatory transcription factor 3 (IRF3). Moreover, this fraction also ameliorated HCl/ethanol/-induced gastritis via suppression of phospho-JNK2 levels. Conclusion: These results strongly suggest that the anti-inflammatory action of PPD-SF could be mediated by a reduction in the activation of p38-, JNK2-, and TANK-binding-kinase-1-linked pathways and their corresponding transcription factors (ATF2 and IRF3).

유기화 클레이(organically modified layered silicates)가 보강된 SBR 나노 복합체를 라텍스법(latex method)에 의해서 제조하였다. 유기화 MMT는 dodecylamine으로 유기화한 DA-MMT와 dimethyldodecylamine으로 유기화한 DDA-MMT의 두 가지를 제조하였다. 유기화 클레이의 층간거리와 분산도를 확인하기 위하여 XRD와 TEM촬영을 하였다 Na-MMT, DA-MMT, DDA-MMT의 XRD 회절 패턴을 분석한 결과 Na-MMT는 $2{\theta}=7.2^{\circ}$로써 층간거리가 $12.3{\AA}$, DA-MMT는 $2{\theta}=5.1^{\circ}$로 층간거리가 $17{\AA}$를 나타내었으며, DDA-MMT의 경우, 회절 피크는 $2{\theta}=4.8^{\circ}$로써. 층간거리는 $18.4{\AA}$으로 나타났다. 이는 DDA-MMT와 DA-MMT가 각각 5 phr 첨가된 SBR 나노 복합체의 TEM 결과에서도 확인할 수 있었다. SBR 나노 복합체에 filler system (carbon black/silica/OLS)을 적용 후 시편을 제조하였다. 제조된 시편의 동적 점탄성 평가 (DMTA)는 $-20^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 이루어졌으며, loss factor (tan $\delta$)의 거동을 확인하였다. 그 결과, 타이어 트래드용 컴파운드를 대상으로 할 경우, 카본블랙과 실리카의 혼용비가 35:25일 때, 빗길 제동특성과 연비특성을 대변하는 $0^{\circ}C$와 $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$에서의 tan $\delta$가 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 시스템에 실리카의 일정 부분을 DDA-MMT($0{\sim}10phr$)로 대체할 경우, $0^{\circ}C$의 tan $\delta$값은 높아지는 반면, $50{\sim}60^{\circ}C$의 tan $\delta$값은 감소하였다.

유기박막트랜지스터 개발의 중요한 이슈 중 하나는 용액 공정이 가능한 저전압구동용 고분자 게이트 절연체의 개발이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고성능의 저전압구동이 가능한 유기박막트랜지스터를 위한 우수한 성능의 고분자 게이트 절연체 재료인 poly(styrene-r-benzocyclobutene-r-methyl methacrylate) (P(S-r-BCB-r-MMA))을 합성하였다. P(S-r-BCB-r-MMA)는 경화과정에서 부피의 변화가 거의 없기 때문에 우수한 절연특성을 가지는 매우 얇은 고분자 절연체를 제조할 수 있으며, 이는 주파수에 따른 전기용량 변화를 통해 확인할 수 있다. 펜타센 유기반도체를 기반으로 한 유기박막트랜지스터 소자를 제작하였을 경우 전계효과이동도 $0.25cm^2/Vs$, 문턱전압 -2 V, 점멸비 ${\sim}10^5$, 그리고 sub-threshold swing 400 mV/decade로 우수한 성능을 보인다. 본 연구에서 새롭게 소개된 P(S-r-BCB-r-MMA)는 유연 디스플레이와 같은 미래형 전자소자의 구현을 위한 게이트 절연체 소재로서 하나의 가능성을 제공할 것이다.

The Mn-doped copper nitride ($Cu_3N$) films with Mn concentration of 2.0 at. % have high crystallinity and uniform surface morphology. We found that the as-synthesized Mn-doped $Cu_3N$ films show suitable optical absorption in the visible region and the band gap is ~1.48 eV. A simple photodetector based on Mn doped $Cu_3N$ films was firstly fabricated via magnetron sputtering method. The fabricated device with doping of Mn demonstrated high photocurrent response and fast response shorter than 0.1 s both for rise and decay time superior to the pure $Cu_3N$. Furthermore, the energy levels of Mn-doped Cu3N matched well with ITO and Ag electrode. The excellent photoelectric properties reflect a good balance between sensitivities and response rate. Our investigation reveals the excellent potential of Mn-doped $Cu_3N$ films for application of photodetectors.

The search for materials that serve as good shields for radiation has become very important in light of the increasing exposure to ionizing radiation in various vital sectors. The aim is to search for novel materials with better radiation shielding properties that are stable, nontoxic, and abundant and environment friendly. The solidstate reaction approach has been used to synthesize a few ceramics, including BaZr_XTi_1-XO₃, Ba_1-XLa_XTiO₃ and Ba_1-XLa_XZr_XTi_1-XO₃ (with x = 0.10) i.eBaZr_0.10Ti_0.90O₃ (BZT), Ba_0.90La_0.10TiO₃ (BLT), and Ba_0.90La_0.10Zr_0.10Ti_0.90O₃ (BLZT). The density of the prepared samples varies from 6.3471 to 11.6003 g/cm³. The X-ray diffraction technique, shows strong peaks to confirm the crystalline structure of prepared ceramic samples. Using the G-P fitting approach, the advanced radiation shielding parameters (build-up factor) have been evaluated in the photon energy region of 1.5 keV-15 MeV. It is observed from the results that exposure buildup factor (EBF) and energy absorption buildup factor (EABF) are maximum for BLZT and has the minimum value for BZT in the entire photon energy regime. The results of this work should be useful in radiation shielding applications such as in industry, medicine, and nuclear engineering.

[ $MgAl_2O_4$ ] 막은 MgO 보호막 보다 단단하며 수분 흡착 오염 문제에 상당히 강한 특성을 가진다. 본 연구에서 AC-PDP 의 유전체보호막으로 사용되는 MgO 보호막의 특성을 개선하기 위해 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 이중층 보호막을 제작하여 특성을 조사하였다. 전자빔 증착기를 사용하여 Cu 기판에 MgO 와 $MgAl_2O_4$을 각각 $1000\AA$ 두께로 증착, $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 을 $200/800\AA$ 두께로 적층 증착 후, 이온빔에 의한 충전현상을 제거하기 위해 Al 을 $1000\AA$ 두께로 증착하였다. 집속 이온빔 (focused ion beam: FIB) 장치를 이용하여 10 kV 에서 14 kV 까지 이온빔 에너지에 따라 MgO는 $0.364{\sim}0.449$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율에서 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 을 적층함으로 $24{\sim}30 %$ 낮아진 $0.244{\sim}0.357$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율이 측정되었으며, $MgAl_2O_4$는 가장 낮은 $0.088{\sim}0.109$ 값의 스퍼터링 수율이 측정되었다. g-집속이온빔 (g-FIB) 장치를 이용하여 $Ne^+$ 이온 에너지를 50 V 에서 200 V 까지 변화시켜 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$ 와 MgO 는 $0.09{\sim}0.12$의 비슷한 이차 전자방출 계수를 측정하였다. AC- PDP 셀의 72 시간 열화실험 후 SEM 및 AFM으로 열화된 보호막의 표면을 관찰하여 기존의 단일 MgO 보호막과 $MgAl_2O_4/MgO$의 적층보호막의 열화특성을 살펴보았다.
