  • Catalytic combustion is one of the suitable methods for micro power source due to high energy density and no flame quenching. Catalyst loading in the micro structured combustion chamber is one of the most important issues in the development of micro catalytic combustors. In this research, to coat catalyst on the chamber wall, two methods were investigated. First, $Al_2O_3$ was selected as a support of Pt and $Pt/Al_2O_3$ was synthesized through the alumina sol-gel procedure. To improve the coating thickness and adhesion between catalyst and substrate, heat resistant and water solvable organic-inorganic hybrid binder was used. Porous silicon was also investigated as a catalyst support for platinum. Through the parametric studies of current density and etching time, fabrication process of $1{\sim}2{\mu}m$ of diameter and about $25{\mu}m$ depth pores was confirmed. Coated substrates were test in the micro channel combustor which was fabricated by the wet etching and machining of SUS 304. Using $Pt/Al_2O_3$ coated substrate and Pt coated porous silicon substrate, conversion rate of fuel was over 95% for $H_2$/Air premixed gas.

  • The corrosion behavior of stainless steel 304 (SS 304), titanium, nickel and aluminium is studied by immersion and anodic polarization tests in non-aqueous electrolytes. Tetraethyl ammonium tetrafluoroborate is used as a supporting electrolyte in the three kinds of solvents. The immersion test shows that chemical corrosion rate in propylene carbonate-based electrolyte is lower than those in acetonitrile- or ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone-based electrolytes. Surface analyses do not reveal any corrosion product formed after the immersion test. In the anodic polarization tests, a higher concentration of supporting electrolyte gives a higher current density. In addition, a higher temperature increases the current density in the active region and reduces the potential range in the passive region. SS 304 shows the highest corrosion potential while Al shows the lowest corrosion potential and the highest current density in all studied conditions. Based on the conducted corrosion tests, the corrosion resistance of metal substrates in the organic solvents can be sorted in descending order as follows: SS 304 - Ti - Ni - Al.

  • Anaerobic digestion has many advantages over the more conventional aerobic treatment processes such as low levels of excess sludge production, low space (area) requirements, and the production of valuable biogas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of organic loading rate of anaerobic digestion on thermophilic($55^{\circ}C$) and mesophilic($35^{\circ}C$) conditions. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) method was also used to study the microbial community in the reactors. The stabilizing time in mesophilic anaerobic reactors was shorter as approximately 20 days than 40 days in the thermophilic anaerobic reactors. The amount of methane production rate in anaerobic reactors was independent of the concentrations of supplied substrates and the amount of methanogens. When the microbial diversity in the mesophilic and thermophilic reactors, which had been treated with acetate-based artificial wastewater, were compared, it was found that methanogenesis was carried out by microbial consortia consisting of bacteria and archaea such as methanogens. To investigate the activity of bacterial and archaeal populations in all anaerobic reactors, the amount of acetate was measured. Archaea were predominant in all reactors. Interestingly, Methanothrix-like methanogens appeared in mesophilic anaerobic reactors with high feed substrate concentrations, whereas it was not observed in thermophilic anaerobic reactors.

  • Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thick films with thicknesses of ㎛ were fabricated on silicon substrates using an aerosol deposition method. A PZT powder solution was prepared using a sol-gel process. The average diameters (d50) obtained were 1.67, 1.98, and 2.40μm when the pyrolysis temperatures were 300℃, 350℃, and 450℃ respectively. The as-deposited film had a uniform microstructure without any cracks or pores. The as-deposited films on silicon were annealed at a temperature of 700℃. The 20-㎛-thick PZT film showed good adherence between the PZT film and substrate, with no tearing observed in the conventional solid phase process. This was probably because the presence of pores produced from organic residue during annealing relieved the residual stresses in the deposited film.

  • Purpose: Atorvastatin, a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is widely prescribed in hyperlipidemic patients and telmisartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker is frequently used in the treatment of hypertension. Both drugs are substrates of organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP) expressed in basolateral membrane in the liver, and undergo high first pass metabolism. Therefore, OATP-mediated hepatic uptake is important for disposition and metabolism of these drugs. The present study was designed to investigate the pharmacokinetic interactions between atorvastatin and telmisartan in rats. Method: Young adult SD rats were divided into three groups (n=6, each) and atorvastatin (10 mg/kg) and telmisartan (4 mg/kg) were orally given alone and together. Heparinized blood was serially taken and plasma concentrations of both drugs were measured using HPLC-MS/MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters of two drugs were calculated. Results: No significant pharmacokinetic change was found except a delay of time to peak of telmisartan when administered with atorvastatin. Each drug at the present dosage seemed to be insufficient to alter the pharmacokinetic parameters of its counterpart drug. Conclusion: Conclusively, co-administration of atorvastatin and telmisartan may lead to negligible clinical consequences.

  • $(Pb_{1-x}La_x)TiO_3$ (x = 0.1) thin films were prepared on ITO-coated glass substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using ultrasonic spraying. Effects of the post-annealing and the seeding layer on crystallization, microstructures and electrical properties of thin films were investigated. Dielectric constants of films increased due to the modification of crystallization and the changing of a surface morphology by applying the post-annealing. In addition, as the application of PT seed- ing layer offered nucleation sites to PLT thin films, electrical properties of films were enhanced by the increase of crys-tallinity and grain size. The dielectric constant of the films post-heated for 60 min and with a seeding layer was 213 at 1 kHz.

  • The properties of carboxyl proteinase which was contained in Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf were investigated by means of the purification with 0.65 ammonium sulfate saturation, DEAE cellulose and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. This enzyme was found to hydrolyze only peptide bond between glutamyl-L-tyrosine of carbobenzoxy-L-glutamyl-L-tyrosine among the synthetic substrates of carbobenzoxy-L-glutamyl-L-tyrosine, hippuryl- L-phenylalanine and hippuryl-L-arginine. This enzyme was inhibited by $Zn^{+2},\;Fe^{+2},\;Ca^{+2},\;CN^{-1},\;P_2O_7^{-4}$ ions, but stimulated by $Hg^{+2}$ ion. Also, this enzyme was inhibited by organic compounds such as L-lysine, L-phenylalanine, hippuryl-L-phenylalanine, diazoacetyl-DL-norleucine methyl ester (DAN) and 1,2-epoxy-3-(P-nitrophenoxy)propane(EPNP). In particular, the activity was inhibited by L-lysine till 20 minutes of preincubation time rapidly, and by DAN in the presence of $Cu^{+2}$ ion more rapidly after 30 minutes than DAN in the absence of $Cu^{+2}$ ion. L-Lysine was found to be a competitive inhibitor and its $K_i$ value was determined to be 0.12 mmole by Dixon plot.
