Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is dangerous cancer that often evades early detection because it is asymptomatic and an effective detection method is lacking. For people with chronic liver inflammation who are at high risk of developing HCC, a sensitive detection method for HCC is needed. In a meta-analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas pan-cancer methylation database, we identified a CpG island in the USP44 promoter that is methylated specifically in HCC. We developed methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) analysis to measure the methylation levels of the USP promoter in cell-free DNA isolated from patients. Our MS-HRM assay correctly identified 40% of patients with early-stage HCC, whereas the α-fetoprotein test, which is currently used to detect HCC, correctly identified only 25% of early-stage HCC patients. These results demonstrate that USP44 MS-HRM analysis is suitable for HCC surveillance.

코디어라이트(2MgO.$2Al_2 O_3$.$5SiO_2$)계 유리와 겔을 일반 용융법과 졸겔법으로 제조하여 그 결정화 거동을 비교하여 보았다. 졸겔법으로 제조되는 겔의 치밀화 온도는 $810^{\circ}C$이었으며, IR결과 용융유리와 같은 구조를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 겔의 결정화 개시온도는 $965^{\circ}C$이었으며, 핵형성제로서 10wt%의 $TiO_2$를 첨가한 용융유리의 $978^{\circ}C$ 보다 낮았다. 겔로부터의 결정상의 변화는 스피넬, $\beta$-석영고용 결정에서 $\alpha$-코디어라이트결정으로, 핵형성제로서 $TiO_2$를 넣은 용융유리에서는 (Mg,Al)TiOn 고용결정상과 $\beta$-석영고용결정에서 $\alpha$-코디어라이트로 전이하여감을 알 수 있었다. 핵형성제를 첨가한 용융유리의 결정화는 핵형성제로부터의 체적결정화였으며, 첨가하지 않은 경우는 $\beta$-석영고용결정으로부터의 표면결정화에 의해 결정화가 일어났으며, 겔로부터의 결정화는 치밀화과정에서 미립자사이에 생겨난 계면으로부터의 표면핵형성에 의한 내부 결정화과정을 거쳐 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

For the fabrication of poly-crystalline silicon ingot, CCCC (Cold Crucible Continuous Casting) method under a high frequency alternating magnetic field, was utilized in order to prevent crucible consumption and ingot contamination and to increase production rate. In order to effectively and continuously melt and cast silicon, which has a high radiation heat loss due to the high melting temperature and a low induction heating efficiency due to a low electric conductivity, Joule and pinch effects were optimized. Throughout the present investigation, poly-crystalline Si ingot was successfully produced at the casting speed of above 1.5 mm/min under a non-contact condition.

본 연구에서는 신선편의 채소와 과일에서 주로 검출되는 대장균(E. coli Ol577:H7), 리스테리아(L. monocytogenes), 살모넬라(Salmonella, spp.), 형색포도상구균(S. aureus)을 검출하고 동정할 수 있는 real time PCR 방법을 melting curve 분석을 활용하여 single tube 반응으로 두 종의 식중독균을 동시 검출하는 방법을 개발하고자 하였다. 대장균의 ${\beta}$-glucuronidase (uidA), 황색포도상구균의 thermonuclease (nuc), 리스테리아의 hemolycin (hly), 살모넬라의 tetrahionate reductase (ttr) 를 특이적으로 검출할 수 있는 4종의 프라이머 세트에 대한 real-time PCR의 melting curve 분석을 통하여 황색포도상구균과 대장균 동시분석 시 $T_m$ 값이 $80.6{\pm}0.9^{\circ}C$와 $86.9{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$, 리스테리아와 살모넬라 동시분석 시 Tm 값이 $80.4{\pm}0.6^{\circ}C$와 $88.1{\pm}0.11^{\circ}C$로 확인하였고, 그 결과 정제되어진 각 식중독균의 genomic DNA를 주형으로 한 duplex real-time PCR 방법이 uniplex real-time PCR 방법과 마찬가지로 10 genome equivalents 까지 검출할 수 있는 민감도를 나타내었다. 또한, 양배추에 네 종의 식중독균을 접종하고, 증균배양 없이 DNA를 추출하여 duplex real-time PCR 을 수행한 결과 모든 식종목균에서 $10^3$ CFU/g의 검출 한계를 나타내었다. 결과적으로 개발된 melting curve 분석을 이용한 duplex real-time PCR 방법은 식품안전 증진을 위한 시간, 노동력, 비용 절감에 있어서 유효한 방법이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Generally CCM (cold crucible melting) is not suitable for melting glass. However, in this study we described the quantitative relationship between the basic property of glass and power balance, the power absorption in the melt, the losses in the coil and the cold crucible, for melting glass in CCM. The dependence of power balance on the applied frequency and the electric conductivity has been found. Above 300 kHz, the glass (B) contained alkali ion which has the low resistance $3.0{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at $900^{\circ}C$ and $1.36{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at $1,100^{\circ}C$ was melted easily and 60% of the overall power was absorbed in the melt and 30% and 10% of the overall power was lost in the cold crucible and coil respectively. Under the same condition, the glass (A) contained non-alkali ion was not melted easily and 50% of the overall power was absorbed in the melt and 40% and 10% of the overall power was lost in the cold crucible and coil respectively. In conclusion, the small absorbed power of the overall power in melt prevented a successful melting as for glass A, and the successful melting depends on the relative size of the absorbed power in melt irrespective of the melting volume. Hence, as typical for direct induction heating method(CCM), the successful melting strongly depended on the chosen working frequency based on electric conductivity of glass, power balance and the control of the critical power which was absorbed in melt.

The n -type Hf_0.25Zr_0.25Ti_0.5NiSn_0.998Sb_0.002 Half-Heusler (HH) alloy composition was prepared by using the induction melting method in addition to the mechanical grinding, annealing, and spark plasma sintering processes. Analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated the formation of a pure phase HH structured compound. The electrical and thermal properties at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 718 K were investigated. The electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperatures and demonstrated nondegenerate semiconducting behavior, and a large reduction in the thermal conductivity to the value of 2.5 W/mK at room temperature was observed. With the power factor and thermal conductivity, the dimensionless figure of merit was increased with temperature and measured at 0.94 at 718 K for the compound synthesized by the induction melting process.

We have studied the effect of platinum addition on the supercon ducting properties of YB $a_2$C $u_3$$O_{7-x}$ (123) compound and elucidated the mechanism of fine dispersion of $Y_2$BaCu $O_{5}$(211) particles in YB $a_2$C $u_3$$O_{7-x}$ superconductor prepared by melting method from the metallurgical point of view. In this study, BaCu $O_2$ and CuO-rich phase unreacted during the peritecitc reaction markedly decreased by the 211 powder addition. The 211 particle of Pt-fee sintered samples exhibited 8~10$\mu$m in size, but in 1wt%Pt-added sample, 211 particles were finely dispersed in 123 matrix and the size of 211 particle was about 1~2$\mu$m. And, the critical temperature( $T_{c. zero}$) of Pt doped samples was 91.5K and the transport critical current density ( $J_{c}$) of Pt-doped samples was much more than 10$^4$A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The high $J_{c}$ and fine dispersion of 211 particles of Pt doped YB $a_2$C $u_3$$O_{7-x}$ superconductor are attributed to $Ba_4$CuP $t_2$ $O_{8}$ compounds formed during the partial melting, which were considered als nucleation sites of 211 particles, rather than Pt inself.han Pt inself.

본 연구에서는 무인 항공 장비에 장착되는 전자 장비에 상변화 물질을 적용한 방열 설계를 수치적으로 진행하였다. 상변화 물질에 대한 열특성 실험을 통해 용융점($T_m$), 용융시 온도 증분(${\Delta}T_m$) 및 체적 팽창을 확인하였으며, 이를 통해 해석 모델 검증을 진행하였다. 용융시 용융점에서 발생하는 온도 정체 현상을 모사하기 위해 등가 비열법으로 계산한 열 물성치를 상변화 물질의 해석 모델 물성치로 입력하였으며, 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 해석 모델의 신뢰성을 검증하였다. 검증된 해석 모델을 통해 핀과 함께 상변화 물질이 충진된 장비 하우징의 방열 성능을 향상시키고, 이를 통해 장비의 열적 안정성을 확보하였다. 현재 상변화 물질이 충진된 하우징의 방열 성능 극대화를 위해 핀 최적 설계에 대한 추가적인 연구가 진행 중에 있다.
