In this study, we investigate the influence of an overlap between the gate and source/drain regions of silicon nanowire (SiNW) CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) inverter on bendable plastic substrates and describe their electrical characteristics. The combination of n-channel silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (n-SiNWFET) and p-channel silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (p-SiNWFET) operates as an inverter logic gate. The gains with a drain voltage ($V_{dd}$) of 1 V are 3.07 and 1.21 for overlapped device and non-overlapped device, respectively. The superior electrical characteristics of each of the SiNW transistors including steep subthreshold slopes and the high $I_{on}/I_{off}$ ratios are major factors that enable the excellent operation of the logic gate.

Protein-polysaccharide fractions, PJ-3 and PJ-4, were prepared from mycelial culture filtrate of an insect-born fungus, Paecilomyces japonica DGUM 32001, and subjected to a flow cytometrical analysis for their vivo antitumor and immunomodulating activity in ICR mice. When i.p. injected once daily for semen days at 100 mg/kg, PJ-4 exerted a strong antitumor activity showing the growth inhibition ratio of 85.1% against i.p. implanted sarcoma 180 cells, while PJ-3 showed only a weak activity. Moreover, PJ-4 signiscantly increased the expression level of CD25 (IL-2R $\alpha$-chain) as well as forward scatter (FSC) values of splenic CD8$^{8}$ T cells. It is also noteworthy that PJ-4 strongly induced the peritoneal exudate cells in the same experiment. In an in vitro study, PJ-4 slightly inhibited the growth of sarcoma 180 cells at the concentration of 50$\mu$g/ml or higher. These results strongly suggest that PJ-4 might exert its antitumor activity through immunostimulation as well as direct inhibitory activity on the tumor cells.

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) was purified from an extract of Perillae Folium by ammonium sulfate fractionation and sephadex G-150 gel filtration, which molecular weight estimated 65,000$\pm$1,000 in SDS-gel electrophoresis, and pI value was 4.8. The pH and temperature optima were 6.0 and $30^{\circ}C$ respectively. $K_{m}$ values of the PPO for various phenolics derived from Lineweaver-Burk plots were 4.0$\times$10$^{-4}$, caffeic acid; 4.2$\times$10$^{-3}$M, 4-methylcatechol. The inhibition by 4-nitrocatechoi, potassium cyanide, cysteine, 2-mercaptoethanol was competitive with $K_{i}$ values of 7.6$\times$10$^{-5}$M, 7.2$\times$10$^{-5}$M, 3.6$\times$10$^{-5}$M, 2.2$\times$10$^{-5}$M, respectively. Among the divalent cations, Cu$^{2+}$ ion was strong activator on PPO and Zn$^{2+}$, Ni$^{2+}$ ions were little effect on PPO activity. In comparing the amino acid composition of Perillae Folium PPO with that of wheat isozyme, grape, spinach showed similarity. But the content of glycine phenylalanine was abundant relatively.

We propose a 7-level atom model, which takes into account two-photon coherence effects in saturation absorption spectroscopy. Using this model we explained spectral change with laser intensity and some of crossover resonance lines, which cannot be explained with Nakayama theory. The 7-level model consists of two upper levels and five lower levels, which account for $\pi-\pi$ polarization of both pump and probe beams in Zeeman sub levels. We compared our 7-level model with 4-level Nakayama theory for 5S$_{1/2}$ - 5P$_{1/2}$ transition line in $^{85}$Rb atoms. The results of the 7-level model calculation agree well the saturation absorption spectra data according to laser intensities.

The microstructure and corrosion behavior of commercially dental casting gold alloys were investigated to clarify the effect of burn-out temperature and cooling rate. In the case of water quenching after casting, only the αphase, which is typical dendritic microstructure of golda alloy, was detected. However, the precipitates along the grain boundary were detected only at the slow cooling rate and they increased inversely proportional to the burn-out temperature. This might be due to the time difference which solute atom could diffuse. EPMA and SEM results also demonstrated that the precipitate should be lamellar structure consisted of Ag rich phase(${\alpha}_1$) and Cu rich phase (${\alpha}_2$). In terms of corrosion, the galvanic coupling was formed due to the difference of composition between precipitates and matrix at the slow cooling rate. In the case of water quenching, the critical current density($i_p$) which indicate the degree of corrosion was lowest at $650^{\circ}C$ and below the burnout temperature, $i_p$ increased with it because of the effect of grain boundary segregation. But above the temperature, $i_p$ increased with it. This may be due to the strain field effect by residual thermal stress.

In this study, a single p-type Si nanowire - Au nanoparticles nano floating gate memory (NFGM) device is successfully fabricated and characterized their memory effects by comparison of electrical characteristics of p-type Si nanowire-based field effect transistor (FET) devices with Au nanoparticles embedded in the $Al_2O_3$ gate materials and without the Au nanoparticles. Drain current versus gate voltage ($I_{DS}-V_{GS}$) characteristics of a single p-type Si nanowire - Au nanoparticle NFGM device show counterclockwise hysteresis loops with the threshold voltage shift of ${\Delta}V_{th}$= 3.0 V. However, p-type Si nanowire based top-gate device without Au nanoparticles does not exhibit a threshold voltage shift. This behavior is ascribed to the presence of the Au nanoparticles, and is indicative of the trapping and emission of electrons in the Au nanoparticles.

As the most of dentofacial deformity patients indicated to orthognathic surgery have strong desire for esthetic improvement as well as functional improvement, ideal esthetic evaluation should be made at surgical prediction. Lateral cephalographs has been commonly used for surgical prediction, however, remarkable discrepancy between esthetic viewpoint by simple looking and analysis on lateral cephalographs often found on evaluation of sagittal position of the upper and lower jaws especially in cases of mandibular prognathism of Koreans. In these cases, we have been employed Esthetic NaP(ENaP)-line for corrective evaluation and ideal surgical prediction on lateral cephalographs, but the efficacy of ENaP-line has not been evaluated. This is a study on efficacy of ENaP-line for orthognathic surgery of Korean mandibular prognathism. 170 Korean patients who had been diagnosed as mandibular prognathism and planned for orthognathic surgery at Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University during last 10 years are studied. The obtained results are as followings; among 170 patients of mandibular prognathism, 132 patients(77.6%) had not discrepancy in evaluation of sagittal position of the maxilla between cephalometric and esthetic evaluation(they are classified as Group I), however, 38 patients(22.4%) had definite discrepancy(they are classified as Group II). ENaP-line was employed in all cephalometric analysis of Group II. The proportions of male and female were similar in both Groups. Sixteen vertical reference lines perpendicular to 16 horizontal reference lines were obtained as followings; Each of the representative degree of ${\angle}SN/AFH$, ${\angle}SN/CFH$ and ${\angle}AFH/CFH$ obtained at Group I was applied to SN plane, AFH plane and CFH plane of Group II each other, and so 16 horizontal reference lines could be obtained individually according to each of the applied degree to each plane. And then their reliability to coincide with ENaP-line of Group II was evaluated. A vertical reference line perpendicular to a horizontal line made by application of the representative degree of ${\angle}$AFH/CFH in Group I to AFH line in Group II had the most highest coincidence with ENaP-line of Group II, however, its agreement was 42% in male and 47% in female. From this results, the rest of them should be determined their corrective jaw position definitely depend on

지난 수년간 태양전지의 광전변환 효율을 높이기 위해 자가 조립된 InAs 또는 GaSb 와 같은 양자점을 GaAs 단일 p-n 접합에 적용하는 연구를 개발해 왔다. 그러나 양자점의 흡수 단면적에 의한 광흡수도는 양자점층을 수십 층을 쌓으면 증가하지만 활성층에 결함을 생성시킨다. 생성된 결함은 운반자 트랩으로 작용하여 태양전지의 광전변환 효율을 감소시킨다. 본 실험에서는 양자점이 적용된 태양전지와 적용되지 않은 태양전지의 광전변환 효율을 비교하고, 깊은준위 과도용량 분광법을 이용하여 결함상태를 측정하고 및 비교함으로써, 활성층 내부에 생성된 결함이 광전변환 효율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 소자구조는 분자선 증착 방법을 이용하여, 먼저 n-형 GaAs 기판위에 n-형 GaAs를 300 nm 증착한 후, 도핑이 되지 않은 GaAs 활성층을 3.5 ${\mu}m$ 두께로 증착하였다. 마지막으로 p-형 GaAs를 830 nm 증착함으로써 p-i-n구조를 형성하였다. 여기서, n-형 GaAs 과 p-형 GaAs의 도핑농도는 동일하게 $5{\times}1018\;cm^{-3}$ 로 하였다. 또한 양자점 및 델타도핑 층을 각각 태양전지에 적용하기 위해 활성층내에 양자점 20층 및 델타도핑 20층을 각각 형성하였다. 이때, 양자점 태양전지, 델타도핑 태양전지와 양자점이 없는 태양전지의 광전변환 효율은 각각 4.24, 4.97, 3.52%로 나타났다. 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 측정하기 위해 소자구조 위에 Au(300nm)/Pt(30nm)/Ti(30nm)의 전극을 전자빔 증착장치로 증착하였으며, 메사에칭으로 직경 300 ${\mu}m$의 p-i-n 접합 다이오드 구조를 제작하였다. 정전용량-전압 특성 및 깊은준위 과도용량 분광법을 이용하여 태양전지의 결함분석 및 이에 따른 광전변환 효율의 상관관계를 논의할 것이다.

ZnO thin-films are grown on a p-Si(111) substrate by RF sputtering. The effects of growth temperature and $O_2$ mixture ratio on the ZnO films are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) measurements. All the grown ZnO thin films show a strong preferred orientation along the c-axis, with an intense ultraviolet emission centered at 377 nm. However, when $O_2$ is mixed with the sputtering gas, the half width at half maximum (FWHM) of the XRD peak increases and the deep-level defect-related emission PL band becomes pronounced. In addition, an n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diode is fabricated by photolithographic processes and characterized using its current-voltage (I-V) characteristic curve and photoresponsivity. The fabricated n-ZnO/p-Si heterojunction diode exhibits typical rectifying I-V characteristics, with turn-on voltage of about 1.1 V and ideality factor of 1.7. The ratio of current density at ${\pm}3V$ of the reverse and forward bias voltage is about $5.8{\times}10^3$, which demonstrates the switching performance of the fabricated diode. The photoresponse of the diode under illumination of chopped with 40 Hz white light source shows fast response time and recovery time of 0.5 msec and 0.4 msec, respectively.

In our previous study, a novel herb mixture (HIM-I) of Angelim gigas radix, Cnidium officinale rhizoma, and Paeonia japonica radix was developed to protect the intestinal and immune systems and promote its recovery against radiation damage. In this study, a new herbal preparation (HemoHIM) with the high immune modulating activity was developed from HIM-I. HIM-I was fractionated into ethanol fraction (HIM-I-E) and polysaccharide fraction (HIM-I-P). And HemoHIM was prepared by adding HIM-I-P to HIM-I. The protective activities against $\gamma$ -irradiation were compared among HemoHIM, HIM-I and the fractions. HemoHIM and HIM-I significantly decreased the radiation-induced DNA damage in vitro, and scavenged hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner. HemoHIM showed similar activity to HIM-I. In vitro proliferation assay with mouse lymphocytes and bone marrow cells showed that HIM-I-P was remarkably higher than HIM-I and HIM-I-E in cell proliferating activity. HemoHIM showed higher activity than HIM-I and this might be associated with the higher polysaccharide content. The in vivo protective effects of HemoHIM and HIM-I were investigated in $\gamma$-irradiated mice. HemoHIM increased the surviving intestinal crypts to a similar extent compared with HIM-I. In contrast, HemoHIM appeared to be more effective than HIM-I in endogenous spleen colony formation assay. The recovery of white blood cells and lymphocytes in irradiated mice were significantly enhanced by the administration of HemoHIM. Also HemoHIM administration prolonged the survival of irradiated mice. These results showed that the novel herbal preparation, HemoHIM, effectively protected the self-renewal tissues and immune system, and promoted the survival of irradiated mice. Moreover, in comparison with HIM-I, HemoHIM maintained similar activity in the reduction of oxidative damage of self-renewal tissue but exhibited the higher activity in protection and proliferation of immune and hematopoietic cells. These results suggested that HemoHIM might be more effective than HIM-I in immune modulation as well as radioprotection.
