Three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs) for the fungicidal activities against Rhizoctonia solani (RS) and Phytophthora capsici (PC) by N-phenyl substituents(X) of N-phenylthionocarbamate derivatives were studied quantitatively using comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) methodology based on different alignment approaches. Statistical quality of CoMFA models with field fit alignment were slightly higher than that of atom based fit alignment. The optimized CoMFA models (RS: RF2 & PC: PF2) were derived from field fit alignment and combination of CoMFA fields. And the statistical results of the two models showed the best predictability of the fungicidal activities based on the cross-validated value $q^2$ ($r^2_{cv.}$ =RS: 0.557 & PC: 0.676) and non-cross-validated value ($r^2_{ncv.}$ =RS: 0.954 & PC: 0.968), respectively. The selective fungicidal activities between two fungi were dependence upon the electrostatic field of substrate molecule. Therefore, the fungicidal activities from CoMFA contour maps showed that the fungicidal activity will be able to increased according to the modification of X-substituents on the substrate molecules.

A mold design for in-mold coating was developed to achieve simultaneous coating and injection molding of an automotive armrest. The developed mold includes one core and two cavities which are composed of a substrate cavity and a coating cavity. The core was attached to a movable plate and two cavities were mounted on a plate sliding in a stationary plate. In a two-step process, the part was first injection molded and subsequently, with the aid of a sliding table, was transferred to a second cavity. The materials used were PC/ABS for substrate and two-component polyurethane for coating. The experiments were conducted by changing the flow rate to investigate mixing characteristics. As the flow rate increased, the mixing improved. Additionally, the bubbles appeared over the substrate surface decreased with an increase of the weight of injected coating material.

The influences of temperature and nutritional conditions on the mycelium growth of oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) and Pleurotus cystidiosus (PC) were investigated in laboratory experiment during the summer season of 2014. The results of the experiment indicated that potato dextrose agar (PDA) and yam dextrose agar (YDA) were the most suitable media for the mycelium growth of oyster mushroom PO while four media (PDA, YDA, sweet potato dextrose agar, and malt extract agar medium) were not significantly different in supporting mycelium growth of oyster mushroom PC. The optimal temperature for mycelium growth of both oyster mushroom species was obtained at $28^{\circ}C$. Mycelium growth of oyster mushroom PO was improved by carbon sources such as glucose, molasses, and at 1~5% sucrose concentration, mycelium colony diameter of mushroom PO was achieved the highest value. Whereas glucose, dextrose, and sucrose as carbon sources gave the good mycelium growth of oyster mushroom PC, and at 1~3% sucrose concentration, mycelium colony diameter of PC was achieved the maximum value. Ammonium chloride concentrations at 0.03~0.09% and 0.03~0.05% also gave the greatest values in mycelium colony diameter of mushroom PO and PC. Brown rice was found to be the most favourable for mycelium growth of two oyster mushroom species. In addition, sugarcane residue, acasia sawdust and corn cob were selected as favourable lignocellulosic substrate sources for mycelium growth of both oyster mushrooms.

The insulin-mediated Ras/mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade was examined in SK-N-BE(2) and PC12 cells, which can and cannot produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), respectively. Tyrosine phosphorylation of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) was much lower in SK-N-BE(2) cells than in PC12 cells when the cells were treated with insulin. The insulin-mediated interaction of IRS-1 with Grb2 was observed in PC12 but not in SK-N-BE(2) cells. Moreover, the activity of extracellular-signal-related kinase (ERK) was much lower in SK-N-BE(2) than in PC12 cells when the cells were treated with insulin. Application of exogenous $H_2O_2$ caused increased tyrosine phosphorylation and Grb2 binding to IRS-1 in SK-N-BE(2) cells, while exposure to an $H_2O_2$ scavenger (N-acetylcysteine) or to a phophatidylinositol-3 kinase inhibitor (wortmannin), and expression of a dominant negative Rac1, decreased the activation of ERK in insulin-stimulated PC12 cells. These results indicate that the transient increase of ROS is needed to activate ERK in insulin-mediated signaling and that an inability to generate ROS is the reason for the insulin insensitivity of SK-N-BE(2) cells.

Cellulases were isolated from both healthyl(PC) and virus0infected penicillum chrysogenum(PCV) in the wheat bean culture, and some properties of the enzymes were studied. 1) At $37^{\circ}C$, pH 6, 4 and 6day's culture the maximal enzyme yield was obtained in both PC and PCV. 2) The optimum temperature for the PC cellulase was at $50^{\circ}C$, and that for the PCV enzyme was the same. 3) The optimum pH for the PC enzyme was at 5.0, whereas the PCV enzyme was at 6.0, indicating that they are isozymes. 4) When Na-CMC was used as a substrate, PC enzyme was twice as high as the activity of PCV enzyme.

Tetrahydropapaveroline (THP) at 5-15 ${\mu}$M has been found to induce L-DOPA-induced oxidative apoptosis in PC12 cells. In this study, the inhibitory effects of THP on dopamine bios ynthesis in PC12 cells and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) activity in bovine adrenal were investigated. Treatment of PC12 cells with THP at 2.5-10 ${\mu}$M significantly decreased the intracellular dopamine content in a concentration-dependent manner (18.3% inhibition at 10 ${\mu}$M THP). In these conditions, TH activity was markedly inhibited by the treatment with THP at 2.5-10 ${\mu}$M in PC12 cells (23.4% inhibition at 10 $\mu$ M THP). In addition, THP had an inhibitory effect on bovine adrenal TH activity IC50 value, 153.9${\mu}$M). THP exhibited uncompetitive inhibition on bovine adrenal TH activity with a substrate L-tyrosine with the KI value of 0.30 mM. Treatment with L-DOPA at 20~50 ${\mu}$M increased the intracellular dopamine content in PC12 cells, and the increase in dopamine content by L-DOPA was inhibited in part when THP at non-cytotoxic (5-10 ${\mu}$M) or cytotoxic (15${\mu}$M) concentrations was associated with L-DOPA (20 and 50 ${\mu}$M) for 24 h incubation. These results suggest that THP at 5-10${\mu}$M decreases the basal dopamine content and reduces the increased dopamine content induced by L-DOPA in part by the inhibition of TH activity, and that THP at 15${\mu}$M also decreases dopamine content by oxidative stress in PC12 cells.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) was sputtered on various glass and flexible substrates such as polyethylene terephthalate(PET) and polycarbonate(PC). A Q-switched $Nd:YVO_4$ laser with a wavelength of 1,064 nm was used for the direct etching of ZnO films. It was possible to obtain laser etched line patterns on the ZnO films on PC substrate at some specific laser beam conditions. In the flexible substrates, more thermal energy of laser beam is expected to be spreaded for the etching process.

인간의 몸의 값이 1000냥이라고 하면 그중의 눈의 값은 900냥이라는 말이 있다. 그만큼 눈이 차지하는 즉 시각이 차지하는 비중이 매우 크다고 할 수가 있겠다. 또한 하등동물보다 고등동물로 진화해갈수록 시각의 활용도가 높아지는 것과 같이 각종 기계에 있어서도 자동화가 진전될수록 머신비전(Machine Vision)기술의 의존도 또한 높아지게 되었다. 따라서 산업이 발전함에 따라 머신 비전의 기술은 여러 분야에 걸쳐 요구되고, 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 패키지 형식의 머신 비전 시스템은 산업 현장에 적용하는데 가격이 비싸고, 인터페이스 문제, 환경이나 필요조건 및 요구에 의한 시스템의 대처능력이 떨어지는 문제 등을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 PC 기반의 머신비젼 시스템에 관한 연구가 필수적일 수 있다. 이러한 점을 궁극적인 목표로 설정하고 본 연구는 산업현장에 적용할 수 있는 머신 비전 시스템의 최적화 설계 에 대한 기술을 연구하였다.

열증착법을 이용하여 copper(II) phthalocyane (CuPc)의 박막을 제작하였다. 기판의 예열 온도를 달리하여 제작된 CuPc의 박막은 ${\alpha}-phase$와 ${\beta}-phase$로 구분할 수 있으며 phase에 따른 결정 구조를 관찰하기 위해 x-ray diffraction을 사용하고 peak의 위치를 관찰하였다. 또한 SEM, UV visible absorption spectra의 변화를 통해 온도에 따라 상전이가 이행해 가는 모습을 구체적으로 관측하였다. 이러한 결정 구조의 변화는 CuPc 박막의 전기전도 특성에 영향을 달리하여 유기발광 소자에 응용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.
