The model compounds, 8-methoxypsoralen-CH2O(CH2)n-adenine (MOPCH2OCnAd, n=2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 10) in which 5 position of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) is linked by various lengths of polymethylene bridge to N9 of adenine. UV absorption spectra are identical with the sum of MOPCH2OC3 and adenine absorption spectra. Solvent effects on the UV absorption and fluorescence emission spectra indicate that the lowest excited singlet state is the $(\pi${\rightarrow}$\pi*)$ state. The spectral characteristics of the fluorescence of MOPCH2OCnAd are strongly dependent upon the nature of the solvents. The fluorescence emission spectra in aprotic solvents are broad and structureless due to the excimer formation through the folded conformation accelerated by hydrophobic ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking interaction. Increasing polarity of the protic solvents leads to higher population of unfolded conformation stabilized through favorable solvation and H-bonding, and consequently to an increase in the fluorescence intensity, fluorescence lifetime, and a shift of fluorescence maximum to longer wavelengths. The decay characteristics of the fluorescence in polar protic solvents shows two exponential decays with the lifetimes of 0.6-0.8 and 1.6-1.9 ns in 5% ethanol/water, while MOPCH2OC3 shows 0.5 and 1.7 ns fluorescence lifetimes. The long-lived component of fluorescence can be attributed to the relaxed species (i.e., the species for which the solvent reorientation (or relaxation) has occurred), while the short-lived components can be associated with the unrelaxed, or only partially relaxed, species.

MOS 캐패시터의 게이트 전극을 비정질 상태의 실리콘으로 형성하여 GOI(Gate Oxide Integrity)특성에 미치는 불순물 활성화 열처리의 효과를 조사하였다. LPCVD(Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) 방법으로 증착한 비정질 실리콘 게이트 전극은 활성화 열처리에 의하여 다결정 실리콘 상태로 구조가 변화하며, 불순물 원자의 활성화가 충분히 이루어졌다. 또한, 비정질 상태의 게이트 전극은 커다란 압축 응력(compressive stress)을 가지지만, 활성화 열처리 온도가 700℃에서 900℃로 증가함에 따라서 응력이 완화되었고 게이트 전극의 저항도 감소하는 특성을 보였다. 또한 얇은 게이트 산화막의 신뢰성 및 산화막의 계면특성은 활성화 열처리 온도에 크게 의존하고 있었다. 900℃에서 활성화 열처리를 한 경우가 700℃에서 열처리한 경우보다 산화막내에서의 전하 포획 특성이 개선되었으며, 산화막의 신뢰성이 향상되었다. 특히, TDDB 방법으로 예측한 게이트 산화막의 수명은 700℃의 열처리에서는 3×10/sup 10/초였지만, 900℃에서의 열처리에서는 2×10/sup 12/초로 현저하게 개선되었다. 그리고, 산화막 계면에서의 계면 전하 밀도는 게이트의 응력 완화에 따라서 개선되었다.

비정질 F $e_{81}$ $B_{13.5}$S $i_{3.5}$ $C_2$리본에서 중성자 조사 후 X-선 회절, 상온에서의 자기이력곡선, 자화의 온도의존성 그리고 복소 투자율 측정하고, 결함에 의한 자기 특성과 관련하여 분석하였다. 중성자 조사량은 열 중성자( $n_{th}$)와 고속 중성자( $n_{f}$)가 각각 6.95$\times$$10^{18}$ $n_{th}$$cm^{-2}$ 과 4.56$\times$$10^{16}$ $n_{f}$$cm^{-2}$ 이었다. 중성자 조사된 시료의 X-선 회절상의 변화는 보이지 않았다. 중성자 조사 후, 복소 투자율의 자기이완특성에서 자벽운동에 의한 부분은 감소하였고, 자화회전에 의한 자기이완 주파수는 좀더 높은 주파수 영역으로 이동하였는데 , 이는 pinning력이 증가된 것을 반영한다. 자기이력곡선에서는 중성자 조사 후의 시료의 softness는 좋아지는 한편 포화자화값은 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, Curie 온도가 감소하는 결과가 나왔다. 자기 softness 향상은 자화회전에 의한 것이라 여겨진다.다.다.다.

Polyethylene used as insulating material of power cable is nonpolar and low dielectric loss polymer. But it has defects of tree generation and accumulation of space charge by an applied voltage resulting in the decreased life and performance. To solve these problems, mixed films with LLDPE and EVA that is similar to LLDPE at physical properties in case of low VA contents were made and tested due to the blend ratios of 80:20, 70:30, 60:40 and 50:50[wt%] respectively. We investigated AC electrical treeing characteristics to acquire the best mixture ratio and effect of the tip radius of needle electrode to develop excellent treeproof materials. The degree of crystallity calculated with XRD pattern is higher for pure LLDPE, 50:50 and 70:30. For DSC analysis, it is confirmed that the melting points of mixed specimens are lower than that of pure LLDPE and higher than pure EVA's. The shape of tree propagation showed that pure EVA was electrical tree shape of the branch type, pure LLDPE and blended specimens was able to confirm tree shape of the bush type. As the tip radius go up in the blend ratio 70:30 specimen, the tree inception voltage rise. Probably the reason is the relaxation of electric field in the specimen with bigger tip ratio. As the 6 specimens were applied AC 5[KV],7.5[KV],10[KV] respectively, tree growth length is far shorter in the specimen with blend ratio 70:30, 50:50 than in pure EVA and pure LLDPE specimen. Conclusively, it is confirmed that specimens of which blend ratio are 70:30 and 50:50 are good in electrical tree retardant characteristics, especially, 70:30 has lower dielectric loss than 50:50 and its mixture ratio is the best.

The effects of molecular weight (MW) and concentration on the rheological properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were investigated at $30^{\circ}C$. Ubbelohde viscometer and rotational rheometer were employed for dilute and concentrated regime, respectively. In the dilute regime, the Mark-Houwink exponent ($\alpha$) of the solutions determined from three different MWs proved 0.73. The critical concentration (C*), in which the entanglement and overlap of polymer molecules began to take place, decreased with increasing the MW of PVA. Huggins constant ($K_H$) values ranged from 0.33 to 0.45 over the MW examined. In the log-log plot of $\eta_{sp}$ versus [$\eta$]C, the PVA with higher degree of polymerization (DP) gave a greater slope exhibiting the inflection point in the vicinity of C*. In the dynamic viscosity ($\eta'$) curve, the PVA solutions of DP 1700 presented Newtonian fluid behavior over most of the frequency range examined. However, the lower Newtonian flow region reduced with increasing the DP. As the PVA concentration increased, $\eta'$ was increased and the onset shear rate for pseudoplasticity was decreased. In the Cole-Cole plot, PVA solutions showed almost a single master curve in a slope of ca. 1.65 regardless of the DP. However, the increase of the concentration from 8 to 12 wt% for PVA solutions of DP 5000 decreased the slope from 1.73 to 1.57. In the tan $\delta$ curve, the onset frequency for sol-gel transition was shifted from 154 to 92 rad/s with increasing the DP from 3300 to 5000 and from 192 to 46 rad/s with increasing the concentration from 8 to 12 wt%. In addition, longer relaxation time ($\lambda$) was observed with increasing the DP and concentration.

An impaired smooth muscle cell (SMC) relaxation of coronary artery by alteration of $K^+$ channels would be the most potential explanation for reduced coronary reserve in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), however, this possibility has not been investigated. We performed morphometrical analysis of the coronary artery under electron microscopy and measured $Ca^{2+}-activated\;K\;(K_{Ca})$ currents and delayed rectifier K $(K_{dr})$ currents by whole-cell and inside-out patch-clamp technique in single coronary arterial SMCs from rabbits subjected to isoprenaline-induced cardiac hypertrophy. Coronary arterial SMCs underwent significant changes in ultrastructure. The unitary current amplitude and the open-state probability of $K_{Ca}$ channel were significantly reduced in hypertrophy without open-time and closed-time kinetic. The concentration-response curve of $K_{Ca}$ channel to $Ca^{2+}$ is shifted to the right in hypertrophy. The reduction in the mean single channel current and increase in the open channel noise of $K_{Ca}$ channel by TEA were more sensitive in hypertrophy. $K_{dr}$ current density is significantly reduced in hypertrophy without activation and inactivation kinetics. The sensitivity of $K_{dr}$ current on 4-AP is significantly increased in hypertrophy. This is the first study to report evidence for alterations of $K_{Ca}$ channels and $K_{dr}$ channels in coronary SMCs with LVH. The findings may provide some insight into mechanism of the reduced coronary reserve in LVH.

${\alpha}$-Iso-cubebene (ICB) is a dibenzocyclooctadiene lignin contained in Schisandra chinensis (SC), a well-known medicinal herb that ameliorates cardiovascular symptoms, but the mechanism responsible for this activity has not been determined. To determine the role played by ICB on the regulation of vascular tone, we investigated the inhibitory effects of ICB on vascular contractile responses by adrenergic ${\alpha}$-receptor agonists. In addition, we investigated the role on myosin light chain (MLC) phosphorylation and cytosolic calcium concentration in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). In aortic rings isolated from C57BL/6J mice, ICB significantly attenuated the contraction induced by phenylephrine (PE) and norepinephrine (NE), whereas ICB had no effects on KCl (60 mM)-induced contraction. In vasculatures precontracted with PE, ICB caused marked relaxation of aortic rings with or without endothelium, suggesting a direct effect on VSMC. In cultured rat VSMC, PE or NE increased MLC phosphorylation and increased cytosolic calcium levels. Both of these effects were significantly suppressed by ICB. In conclusion, our results showed that ICB regulated vascular tone by inhibiting MLC phosphorylation and calcium flux into VSMC, and suggest that ICB has anti-hypertensive properties and therapeutic potential for cardiovascular disorders related to vascular hypertension.
