Accurate estimation of the masses, the ages, and the chemical abundances of host stars is crucial to understand physical characteristics of exo-planetary systems. In this study, we investigate physical dimensions of 94 planet-hosting stars based on spectroscopic observation and stellar evolutionary computation, From the high resolution echelle spectroscopy of the BOES observation, we have analysed metallicities and alpha-element enhancements of host stars. By combining recent spectro-photometric observations, stellar parameters are calibrated within the frame work of the standard stellar theory. In general, the minimum chi-square estimation can be strongly biased in cases that stellar properties rapidly changes after the terminal age main-sequence. Instead, we adopt a Bayesian statistics considering a priori distribution of stellar parameters during the rapid evolutionary phases. we determine a reliable set of stellar parameters between theoretical model grids. To overcome this statistical bias, (1) we adopt a Bayesian statistics considering a priori distribution of stellar parameters during the rapid evolutionary phases and (2) we construct the fine model grid that covers mass range ($0.2{\sim}3.0M_{\odot}$) with the mass step ${\Delta}M=0.01M_{\odot}$, metallicities Z = 0.0001 ~ 0.04, and the helium and the alpha-element enhancement. In this presentation, we introduce our calibration scheme for several hosting stars.

Particle-phase organic tracers (molecular markers) have been shown to be an effective method to assess and quantify the impact of sources of carbonaceous aerosols. These molecular markers have been used in chemical mass balance (CMB) models to apportion primary sources of organic aerosols in regions where the major organic aerosol source categories have been identified. As in the case of all CMB models, all important sources of the tracer compounds must be included in a Molecular Marker CMB (MM-CMB) model or the MMCMB model can be subject to biases. To this end, the application of the MM-CMB models to locations where reasonably accurate emissions inventory of organic aerosols are not available, should be performed with extreme caution. Of great concern is the potential presence of industrial point sources that emit carbonaceous aerosols and have not been well characterized or inventoried. The current study demonstrates that emissions from industrial point sources in the St. Louis, Missouri area can greatly bias molecular marker CMB models if their emissions are not correctly addressed. At a sampling site in the greater St. Louis Area, carbonaceous aerosols from industrial point sources were found to be important source of carbonaceous aerosols during specific time periods in addition to common urban sources (i.e. mobile sources, wood burning, and road dust). Since source profiles for these industrial sources have not been properly characterized, method to identify time periods when point sources are impacting a sampling site, needs to avoid obtaining biases source apportionment results. The use of real time air pollution measurements, along with molecular marker measurements, as a screening tool to identify when point sources are impacting a receptor site is presented.

스트렙토마이신은 아미노글리코사이드계 항생제중의 하나로써 가축, 가금류의 질병 치료와 예방에 널리 사용되고 있다. 국내에서는 양봉용으로는 허가되어 있지 않지만 일부 국가에서는 유럽형 부저병과 같은 세균성 벌꿀 질병의 치료에 사용되는 것으로 알려져 있다. LC-MS/MS를 이용하여 벌꿀 중에 잔류하는 스트렙토마이신(streptomycin)을 분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 확립된 분석법은 재현성과 정밀성을 높이고 미량까지 검출할 수 있도록 회수율을 높이기 위하여 정제 및 추출과정을 최적화 하였으며, 효과적인 분석을 위해서 액체 크로마토그래피(HPLC) 와 텐뎀 질량분석법(tandem mass spectrometry)의 조건들을 최적화하였다. 확립된 방법은 5.0~50.0 ug/kg 농도에서 5.5~14%인 정밀성(RSD)을 나타내었으며, bias로써 -10.0~8.0%의 정확도를 나타내었다. 한편, 스트렙토마이신을 벌꿀 공 시료에 10.0 ug/kg의 농도로 소량첨가한 후 얻은 회수율은 74%이었고, 정량한계(LOQ)는 0.75 ug/kg이었다. 확립된 벌꿀 중 스트렙토마이신 분석법을 이용하여 실제 벌꿀시료에 적용한 결과 몇몇 시료에서 소량의 스트렙토마이신이 검출되었다.

Objectives: Sarcopenia is an age-associated skeletal muscle disorder that can profoundly impact the health of elderly people. However, the efficacy of herbal medicine in sarcopenia is uncertain. This review aims to investigate evidence of the effect of herbal medicine on sarcopenia. Methods: We systematically searched 12 electronic databases for relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Only trials that met the inclusion criteria were selected, and the characteristics of the included studies were extracted and synthesized in a narrative manner. The quality of the included studies was assessed using Cochrane's Risk of Bias (RoB) 2.0 tool. Results: 7 RCTs involving 672 participants with sarcopenia met the inclusion criteria. The intervention combining herbal medicine and conventional treatment (i.e., exercise, nutritional support) had a significant therapeutic effect compared with the conventional treatment, showing improvement in muscle strength (i.e., grip strength), muscle mass (i.e., appendicular skeletal muscle mass index), and physical function (i.e., gait speed, short physical performance battery, and timed up and go test). However, the methodological quality of the included RCTs was relatively low due to their high RoB, making it difficult to evaluate the efficacy of herbal medicine in sarcopenia. In terms of safety, several adverse events were reported. Conclusion: This review suggests that herbal medicine has a positive effect on muscle strength, muscle mass, and physical performance in elderly patients with sarcopenia, but there is a clear need for further research in this area.

$(Ba, Sr)TiO_3$thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma (MEICP) at different CF4/Ar gas mixing ratios. Experimental was done by varying the etching parameters such as rf power, dc bias and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was $1800{AA}/min$ under $CF_4/(CF_4+Ar)$ of 0.1, 600 W/350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivity of BST to Pt and PR was 0.6, 0.7, respectively. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that surface reaction between Ba, Sr, Ti and C, F radicals occurs during the (Ba, Sr)TiO3 etching. To analyze the composition of surface residue after the etching, films etched with different CF_4/Ar$ gas mixing ratio were investigated using XPS and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS).

In order to develop a confident sampling technique, we designed and constructed a 6-port manifold MFC sampling system for collecting gaseous pollutants in air. Using this instrumentation, we tested the performance criteria of MFC system in terms of: (1) flow rate; (2) MFC-to-MFC variability; (3) tube-to-tube variability; and (4) time. It was interesting to find that the later two factors did not show any significant variations, while the former two show substantially large variations. However, as most of those variabilities are consistent enough to form systematic patterns, we were able to explain the occurrence patterns of all those MFC biases in terms of those four major variables. The overall results of our experiment suggest that one needs to use correction factor for each MFC unit under a given flow rate to maintain optimal accuracy and precision for sampling of those pollutants.

Index tests are useful because they are rapid and cheap-and if bias is known the fundamental property can be estimated, as when estimating the compressive strength or the tensile sterngth from the rock test hammer value. Index tests which have proved to be very useful are the rock test hammer, the point load test and sonic velocity test. These can provide index values in their owing right or be used to estimate the compressive strength, the tensile strength and elastic modulus. Because of the heterogeneous and fractured nature of rock, many index tests have been developed for a variety of purposes, e.g.for use in rock mass classification schemes.

In this study, (Ba,Sr)TiO$_3$(BST) thin films were etched with a magnetically enhanced inductively coupled plasma(MEICP). Etching characteristics of BST thin films including etch rate and selectivity were evaluated as a function of the etching parameters such as gas mixing ratio, rf power, dc bias voltage and chamber pressure. The maximum etch rate of the BST films was 1700 $\AA$/min at Ar(90)/CF$_4$(10), 600 W/350 V and 5 mTorr. The selectivity of BST to PR was 0.6, 0.7, respectively. To analyze the composition of surface residue remaining after the etching, samples etched with different CF$_4$/Ar gas mixing ratio were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). From the results of XPS and SIMS, there are chemical reaction between Ba, Sr, Ti and C, F radicals during the etching and remained on the surface.

Determining the virial factor of the broad-line region (BLR) gas is crucial in calibrating AGN black hole mass estimators, since the measured line-of-sight velocity needs to be converted into the representative velocity of the BLR gas. The unknown virial factor has been empirically calibrated based on the $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation of non-AGN galaxies, but the claimed values are different by a factor of 2 in recent studies. We investigate the origin of the difference by measuring the $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation using the most updated nearby galaxy sample, and explore the dependence of the virial factor on the various fitting methods. We find that the discrepancy is mostly caused by the sample bias while the difference stemming from various regression methods is marginal. Based on the best-determined virial factor, we present the updated $M_{BH}-{\sigma}_*$ relation of local active galaxies.

본 연구는 강유전체 박막의 buffer 층으로 사용되는 Yttrium oxide($Y_2O_3$) 박막에 대한 $BCl_3$/Ar 혼합가스 식각 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 식각 메카니즘을 해석하기 위해 QMS(Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer), OES(Optical Emission Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 플라즈마 특성을 추출하였다. 공정 조건(source power, bias power, pressure, total gas flow)을 동일하게 유지하고 $BCl_3$/Ar 혼합가스 비율을 변화시키며 실험을 진행 하였다. 혼합가스의 비율이 $BCl_3$(80%)/Ar(20%)일때 가장 높은 식각 속도을 나타냈고, 이후 점차 감소하였다. 이때의 식각 속도는 8.8 nm/min 였다. 이에 $Y_2O_3$는 이온 보조 화학식각 특성을 가짐을 확인하였다.
