In this study, we have been examined nano Injection Molding process which can improve transcription of 100nm-level pattern. We changed the various parameter (temperature of injection mold, clamp force, temperature of nozzle) which can be influence for improving transcription. And we measured and analyzed shapes of 100nm-level pattern by Automic Force Microscope for proving transcription. We made the Blu-ray Disc sample for proving transcription. And we measured HF-Signal and jitter. As a result, when the temperature of mold is more than $120^{\circ}C$ and the clamp force is more than 10 ton, We reached over 95 percent of transcription compared with stamper pattern. And we reached in-spec. value for HF-Signal and Jitter. Then we reached over 95 percent of transcription compared with stamper pattern.

In this study, durability of the nano-level inorganic polymer based coatings which can provide a barrier against the ingress of moisture or aggressive ions to concrete is discussed. For the durability evaluation of the coatings, chloride penetration test, accelerating carbonation test, freezing and thawing test, and sulfate ponding test are conducted. As the result of this study, concrete applied nano-level inorganic polymer based coatings has a much higher resistance to the ingress of chloride ion, carbon dioxide, moisture and aggressive acid than plain concrete and epoxy resin based paint by means of crosslinking three-dimensional structure with concrete structure.

In this paper, a dual-servo type VCM (Voice Coil Motor) for the measuring of nano-level displacement and small thrust is proposed and developed. The shape of VCM for improving the resolution of displacement and ensuring a large displacement are presented. The FEM (finite element method) is utilized to analyze the characteristics of VCM that produces linear driving thrust and satisfies the thrust that the measurement system requires. The Prototype is fabricated and an experiment is performed in order to measure displacement. As a result of simulation and testing, the proposed VCM shows the applicable possibility for a nano-level measurement system.

Carbon Nano Tubes could be either metallic or semi-conducting in nature, depending on their diameter. Its photocatalytic behavior has given an impetus to use it as an anti-microbial agent. More than 95% Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria got killed when exposed to Carbon Nano Tubes for 30 minutes in presence of sunlight. Carbon Nano Tubes are supposed to have smooth surface on to which it accumulates positive charges when exposed to light. The surface that is non illuminated has negative charge. At the cellular level microorganisms produce negative charges on the cell membrane, Therefore damaging effect of multi walled carbon nano tubes (exposed to light) on the microorganisms is possible. In this paper, photo catalytic killing of microbes by multi walled carbon nano tubes is reported. Killing was due to damage in the cell membrane, as seen in SEM micrographs. Moreover biochemical analysis of membrane as well as total cellular proteins by SDS PAGE showed that there was denaturation of membrane proteins as well as total proteins of both the microbes studied. The killed microbes that showed a decrease in number of protein bands (i.e. due to breaking down of proteins) also showed an increase in level of free amino acids in microbes. This further confirmed that proteins got denatured or broken down into shorter units of amino acids. Increased level of free amino acids was recorded in both the microbes treated with multi walled carbon nano tubes and sunlight.

Future MEMS systems will be composed of larger varieties of devices with very different functionality such as electronics, mechanics, optics and bio-chemistry. Integration technology of heterogeneous devices must be developed. This article first deals with the current development trend of new fabrication technologies; those include self-assembling of parts over a large area, wafer-scale encapsulation by wafer-bonding, nano imprinting, and roll-to-roll printing. In the latter half of the article, the concept towards the heterogeneous integration of devices and functionality into micro/nano systems is described. The key idea is to combine the conventional top-down technologies and the novel bottom-up technologies for building nano systems. A simple example is the carbon nano tube interconnection that is grown in the via-hole of a VLSI chip. In the laboratory level, the position-specific self-assembly of nano parts on a DNA template was demonstrated through hybridization of probe DNA segments attached to the parts. Also, bio molecular motors were incorporated in a micro fluidic system and utilized as a nano actuator for transporting objects in the channel.

To evaluate the hypoglycemic effect of nano powder propolis, streptozotocin (STZ) induced diabetic rats were divided into 2 groups : diabetic control group and nano powder propolis (0.9ml) group. Then the rats were fed with nano-powder-propolis for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, oral glucose tolerance test (oral GTT) was performed and blood sugar levels after 16 hours fasting, body weights, and blood lipid levels were measured. Finally, pancreas were collected and examined by histopathology and immunohistochemistry. In conclusion, the nano-powder-propolis was effective in the treatment of diabetes due to the reduction of blood sugar level and the regeneration of damaged ${\beta}$-cells observed in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

In this study, we examined the effects of organic types of calcium derived from oyster shell (OS-Ca) and nano-calcium (Nano-Ca) on the bio-availability and physiological responses associated with bone health in ovariectomised rats. Increased body weight, which is one of the physiological effects of ovary removal, was significantly recovered by Nano-Ca treatment (p<0.05). The reduced calcium level in the liver in ovariectomised rat was increased significantly with OS-Ca and Nano-Ca treatment (p<0.05), suggesting improved calcium bio-availability. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), osteocalcin, and deoxypyridinoline (DPD) were analysed as biochemical markers of bone metabolism and health in the presence or absence of OSCa and Nano-Ca. ALP, osteocalcin, and DPD levels increased following ovary removal and tended to decrease after treatment with Nano-Ca, indicating that Nano-Ca induces favourable bone metabolism. This result was reflected in the recovery of bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) of the femur after Nano-Ca treatment following ovary removal. Taken together, our data show that the tested calcium treatments, especially using Nano-Ca, enhanced the bioavailability or absorption of calcium and positively affected bone metabolism in ovariectomised rats.

We proposed the new nano-carbon ball (NCB) materials for eliminating the total volatile organic compounds(TVOCs) from the felt which is built in the car. The concentrations of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde of the original felts were varied upon the different production lots. Acetaldehyde in the felt can be eliminated to target level($0.2{\mu}g$) after introducing 0.5 wt% of NCB into the felt. Detector tube method for analyzing formaldehyde gas was more accurate than HPLC method. Formaldehyde can be eliminated to target level (64 ppb) after introducing 0.5 wt% of NCB into the felt. We also found that TVOC can be reduced to target level ($0.32{\mu}g$) after introducing 2.0 wt% of NCB. Upon introducing small amounts of NCB into the felt, it was possible that the level of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and TVOC formed from the felts can be reduced to the target level. We also suggest the effective analyzing method of TVOCs.

The anti-adipogenic effect of dongchimi nano juice prepared using a nano-filtering process was investigated by measuring leptin and glycerol levels and the expression of a peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor-\gamma\;(PPAR\gamma)$ gene as indicators of lipid accumulation or lipolysis. Red pepper powder, seeds of red pepper, garlic, and ginger were added in the preparation of dongchimi. Dongchimi was fermented to reach the optimal fermentation period, followed by nano-filtration in the range of $0.0005\sim0.1\;{\mu}m$. The lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi nano juice were removed completely by a nano-filtering process. Treatment of dongchimi nano juice induced glycerol release in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreased the mRNA expression level of $PPAR\gamma$. These results suggested that dongchimi nano juice may enhance lipolysis and modulate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.
