Solid solutions of the nonstoichiometric Dy1-xSrxCoO3-y system with the compositions of x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 have been synthesized by the solid state reaction at 1000 ℃ under atmospheric air pressure. The crystallographic structures of the solid solutions are analyzed by the powder X-ray diffraction patterns at room temperature. The analyses assign the compositions of x=0.00 and 0.25 to the orthorhombic system with space group of Pbnm/D2h16, the compositions of x=0.50 and 0.75 to the tetragonal system like a typical SrCoO2.86, and the composition of x=l.00 or SrCoO2.50 to the brownmillerite type system with space group of I**a. The reduced lattice volumes increase with x value due to the larger radius of Sr2+ ion than that of Dy3+ ion. The mole ratio of Co4+ ion to total Co ion with mixed valence state between Co3+ and Co4+ ions at B sites or τ value has been determined by an iodometric titration. All the samples except for the DyCoO3 compound show the mixed valnce state and thus the composition of x=0.50 has the maximum τ value in the system. The oxygen vacancies increasing with x value are randomly distributed over the crystal lattice except for the composition of x=l.00 which have the ordering of the oxygen vacancies. The nonstoichiometric chemical formulas of the Dy1-xSrxCo3+1-τCo4+τO3-(x-τ)/2 system are formulated from the x, τ, and y values. The electrical conductivity in the temperature range of 100 to 900 K increases with τ value linearly because of positive holes of the Co4+ ions in π* band as a conducting carrier. The activation energy of the x=0.50 as Ea=0.17 eV is minimum among other compouds. Broad and high order transition due to the overlap between σ* and π* bands broadened by the thermal activation is observed near 1000 K and shows a low temperature-semiconducting behavior. Magnetic properties following the Currie-Weiss law show the low to high spin transition in the cobaltate perovskite. Especially, the composition of x=0.75 presents weak ferromagnetic behavior due to the Co3+-O2--Co4+ indirect superexchange interaction.

본 연구에서는 355 nm의 파장을 갖는 Nd:YVO$_4$ 3고주파 DPSS 레이저를 이용하여 폴리머의 3차원 미세형상 가공기술을 개발하였다. UV레이저와 폴리머의 어블레이션에 관한 메커니즘을 설명하였으며 비교적 UV영역에서 파장이 긴 355 nm파장의 영역에서는 광열분해 반응으로 가공되고 이에 따른 폴리머의 광학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 광 흡수율 특성이 우수한 폴리머가 광가공 특성이 좋은 것으로 나타났으나 벤젠구조가 많이 포함되어 있는 폴리이미드의 경우는 광분해후 다시 새로운 화학적 결합이 이루어져 가공부 면이 좋지 않은 면을 보였다. 레이저의 다중 주사방식으로 가공하기위하여 표면의 오염이 적은 폴리카보네이트를 시편으로 사용하여 3차원 적으로 모델링한 직경 1 mm와 500 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 마이크로 팬을 가공하였다. 레이저 발진 효율이 높고 유지비가 적은 355 nm의 DPSSL을 이용한 3차원 가공기술의 개발로 향후 저비용으로 빠른 시간에 미세부품을 개발하는 기술에 기여할 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of progesterone with various cyclodextrins (CDs) in the aqueous solution and in solid state, and finally to formulate a parenteral aqueous formulation. CDs used were ${\alpha}-$, ${\beta}-$, and ${\gamma}-CD$, $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-CD$ (HPCD), sulfobutyl $ether-{\beta}-CD$ (SBCD), $dimethyl-{\beta}-CD$ (DMCD) and $trimethyl-{\beta}-CD$ (TMCD). The solubility studies of progesterone were performed in the presence of various CDs as a function of concentration or temperature. The solubility of progesterone increased in the rank order of ${\alpha}-CD$ < ${\beta}-CD$ < ${\gamma}-CD$ < TMCD$ < HPCD < DMCD < SBCD. Addition of SBCD (200 mg/ml) in water increased the aqueous solubility $(9.36\;{\mu}g/ml)$ about 3,200 times, and lowering the temperature facilitated the solubilization of progesterone. However, the addition of HPCD and SBCD in 20:80 (v/v) polyethylene glycol 300-water and propylene glycol-water cosolvents markedly decreased the solubility of progesterone, compared with solubilizing effects in water. Physical mixtures and solid dispersions of progesterone with HPCD or SBCD were prepared, and evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), near IR spectroscopy and dissolution studies. By DSC and IR studies, it was found that progesterone was dispersed in HPCD in monotectic state and dissolved rapidly from both solid dispersions. Based on solubility studies, new aqueous progesterone fonnulations (5 mg/ml) containing SBCD (200 mg/ml) could be prepared and did not form precipitates even after 2 months at $4^{\circ}C$. The solution was transparent when mixed with normal saline and 5% dextrose injection at 1: 1, 1:10 and 1:20 (v/v) even after 7 days. Permeation rates of progesterone through a cellulose membrane from 20% PEG 300 solution $(50\;{\mu}g/ml)$ containing HPCD or SBCD were compared with oily formulation. Permeation of progesterone from oily formulation did not occur up to 8 hr, but aqueous formulations showed fast permeation rates from early stage of permeation study. The addition of HPCD or SBCD retarded the permeation rates of progesterone with the increase of CD concentrations, suggesting the possibility of a controlled absorption from the site administered intramuscularly. These results demonstrate that it is feasible to develop a new progesterone parenteral aqueous injection (5 mg/ml) using SBCD.

Recently, hexagonal manganites have attracted much attention because of the coexistence of ferroelectricity and antiferromagnetic (AFM) order. The crystal structure of hexagonal manganites consists of $MnO_5$ polyhedra in which $Mn^{3+}$ ion is surrounded by three oxygen atoms in plane and two apical oxygen ions. The Mn ions within Mn-O plane form a triangular lattice and couple the spins through the AFM superexchange interaction. Due to incomplete AFM coupling between neighboring Mn ions in the triangular lattice, the system forms a geometrically-frustrated magnetic state. Among hexagonal manganites, $YMnO_3$, in particular, is the best known experimentally since the f states are empty. In addition, for applications, $YMnO_3$ thin films have been known as promising candidates for non-volatile ferroelectric random access memories. However, $YMnO_3$ has low magnetic order temperature (~70 K) and A-type AFM structure, which hinders its applications. We have synthesized $YMn1_{-x}Cr_xO_3$ (x = 0, 0.05 and 0.1) samples by the conventional solid-state reaction. The powders of stoichiometric proportions were mixed, and calcined at $900^{\circ}C$ for $YMn1_{-x}Cr_xO_3$ for 24 h. The obtained powders were ground, and pressed into 5-mm-thick disks of 1/2-inch diameter. The disks were directly put into the oven, and heated up to $1,300^{\circ}C$ and sintered in air for 24 h. The phase of samples was checked at room temperature by powder x-ray diffraction using a Rigaku Miniflex diffractometer with Cu $K{\alpha}$ radiation. All the magnetization measurements were carried out with a superconducting quantum-interference-device magnetometer. Our experiments point out that the Cr-doped samples show the characteristics of a spin-glass state at low temperatures.

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a drug of choice for the treatment of systemic fungal diseases, but its use is considerably limited due to a high incidence of toxicity, particularly nephrotoxicity. It has been demonstrated that the toxicity of AmB is caused by self-aggregated species of the drug and that unaggregated (monomeric) drug is nontoxic but still expresses antifungal activity. Poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) is a water-soluble polymer, which may impact the aggregation state of AmB. We have studied the aggregation state of AmB as a function of PEO molecular weight and concentration. At 3,000 and 8,000 g/mole, there was minimal or no change of critical aggregation concentration (CAC) of AmB regardless of the concentration of polymer. By contrast at 20,000 g/mole, the CAC of AmB strikingly increased to 24.3 and $37.5\;{\mu}M$ at 5.0% and 10 % w/v of polymer, respectively. The critical overlap concentration (COC) of PEO 20,000 g/mole was 5.5%. It appears that an interaction between monomeric AmB and polymer coil increases above the COC, competing with self-aggregation of the drug. Accordingly, the degree of aggregation of AmB stayed low and the toxicity became less. There was no such effect at 3,000 and 8,000 g/mole of PEO, owing perhaps to small dimensions in comparison to AmB. Based upon these findings, less toxic AmB formulation may be developed by a pharmaceutical technique such as solid dispersion system containing both AmB and PEO 20,000 g/mole.

$CaGa_1-xFexO_3-y$계의 x=0.25, 0.50, 0.75 및 1.00에 해당하는 고용체를 $1150^{\circ}C$, 대기압하에서 제조하였다. X-선 회절분석, Mohr염 정정, Mossbauer 분광분석을 수행하여 합성된 고용체들의 구조, 비화학량론적 화학식 및 양이온들의 분포를 결정한 후 전기전도도와 자기측정을 수행하여 물성에 관한 논의를 하였다. X-선 회절분석으로부터 얻은 모든 조성의 결정계는 브라운밀러릿 사방정계이다. 환산 격자부피는 단위세포의 차원이 다른 X=0.25의 조성을 제외하고 x값이 증가함에 따라 직선성을 가지고 증가한다. Mohr염분석 결과 고용체들은 $Fe^{4+}$ 이온을 포함하지 않고 산소공위의 몰수인 y값은 0.50으로 고정된 값을 가진다. Mossbauer 분광분석으로부터 Fe 이온의 산화상태, 배위상태, 브라운밀러릿 구조 및 $Ga^{3+}$와 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온의 분포를 논의하였다. 전기전도도와 활성화에너지는 x값이 증가함에 따라 각각 증가와 감소하고 이들로부터 전자 전기전도 메커니즘을 제안한다. x=0.50~1.00의 조성을 냉각하면서 자기측정을 수행할 때 열적 자기 히스테리시스가 나타나며 이러한 현상을 공간군과 Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya 상호작용을 기초로 논의하였다.

본 연구에서는 근 자외선 및 가시광 영역에서 우수한 발광 강도를 가지는 적색 형광체를 얻기 위하여 고상 반응법으로 합성하여 $EU^{3+}$와 $Bi^{3+}$가 도핑 된 ${Y_2}{SiO_5}$의 발광 특성을 관찰하였다. 근자외선 영역인 ${\lambda}_{ex}=395nm$ 기준으로 측정하였고, $^5D_0-^7F_2$의 에너지 천이에 의해 612 nm 영역에서 강한 peak가 발생하였다. CST가 $Eu^{3+}-O^{2-}$에 의해 258 nm 영역 대에서 생성되었고, $Bi^{3+}$가 함께 도핑 된 것은 $Eu^{3+}-Bi^{3+}-O^{2-}$에 상호작용에 의해 282 nm 영역대의 장파장 쪽으로 이동하였다. $350\;nm{\sim}480\;nm$ 영역 대에 '$^7F_0{\to}^5L_9$ (364 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5G_3$(381 nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5L_6$(395nm), $^7F_0{\to}^5D_3$(415 mn) and $^7F_0{\to}^5D_2$(466 nm)는 $Bi^{3+}$와 $EU^{3+}$ f-f 천이에 의해 발생하였다. $Bi^{3+}$의 도핑농도가 증가할수록 발광 강도가 증가함을 보이다가 0.125 mol 일 때 발광강도가 가장 우수하였고, $Bi^{3+}$의 도핑 농도가 0.125 mol 이상 되면 발광강도가 현저히 감소하는 것을 확인하였다.

An efficient and reliable Agrobacterium transformation procedure based on TDZ (thidiazuron)-induced organogenesis was established and applied to six Brazilian eggp1ant varieties. Optimum transgenic plants recovery was achieved upon the study of the following parameters affecting transformation efficiency, using F-100 variety as a model: i) explant source; ii) pre-culture period; iii) physical state of the pre-culture medium and iv) coculture conditions. The highest frequency of kanamycin-resistant calli derived from leaf explants (5%) was obtained without a pre-culture period and co-cultivation for 24 h in liquid medium followed by five days on solid RM (regeneration medium). For cotyledon explants, best results were achieved upon a pre-culture of 24 h in liquid RM and a co-cultivation period of 24 h in liquid RM followed by three days in solid RM, resulting in a transformation Sequency of 22.7%. Kanamycin-resistant organogenic calli were also obtained from cultivars Emb, Preta Comprida, Round nose Shaded, Campineira and Florida Market. The expression pattern of an epidermis-specific promoter was studied using transformants expressing a chimaeric construct comprised by the promoter Atgrp-5 transcriptionally fused to the coding region of the gus gene. The expression pattern was similar to that previously observed in tobacco and Arabidopsis thaliana, with preferential expression at the epidermis and the stem phloem. These results support the idea that the Atgrp-5 promoter can be used to drive defense genes in these tissues, which are sites of pathogen interaction and spread, in programs for the genetic improvement of eggplant.

철을 포함한 비정질 규산염 용융체의 원자 구조 규명은 지표 환경의 화성활동 및 맨틀 심부의 초저속도층의 속도구조에 이르는 광범위한 지질과정의 미시적인 원인에 대한 단서를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 철을 포함한 비정질 규산염의 원자 구조 규명에 가장 적합한 고상 핵자기공명분광분석(NMR)을 이용하여 최대 16.07 wt%의 $Fe_2O_3$가 포함된 비정질 알칼리 규산염(iron-bearing alkali silicate glasses)의 철의 함량 변화가 원자구조에 미치는 영향을 규명하였다. $^{29}Si$ 스핀-격자 완화시간($T_1$)을 측정한 결과, 철의 함량에 따라 스핀-격자 완화시간이 짧아지는데 이는 철이 가지고 있는 홀전자(unpaired electron)와 핵 스핀(nuclear spin)간의 상호작용으로부터 기인한다. $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR 실험 결과, 철이 포함되지 않은 시료의 경우 $Q^2$, $Q^3$ 그리고 $Q^4$의 환경을 지시하는 피크가 분리됨에 반하여, 철이 포함된 시료의 경우 NMR 신호의 급격한 감소와 피크 폭이 넓어짐으로써 각각의 규소 환경이 거의 분리되지 않았다. 그러나 철의 함량에 따라 스펙트럼이 넓어지고 화학적 차폐값(chemical shift)이 높아지는 현상을 확인하였는데, 이는 $Q^4$의 규소 환경을 나타내는 방향으로서 철 주변의 $Q^n$이 불균질하게 분포하고 있음을 지시한다. $^{17}O$ MAS NMR 실험에서도 철이 포함되지 않은 시료에서는 연결산소(Si-O-Si)와 비연결산소(Na-O-Si)가 부분적으로 분리되지만, 철의 함량이 증가하면서 각각의 산소 환경이 거의 분리되지 않는다. 이러한 연구결과는 고상 핵자기공명분광분석이 철을 포함한 비정질 규산염의 상세한 구조 연구에 효과적인 도구임을 지시한다.

We investigated the structural, electrical and magnetic properties of Mn-doped $CuAlO_2$ delafossite ceramics ($CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O_2,\;0\le\;x\;\le0.05$), synthesized by solid-state reaction method in an air atmosphere at a sintering temperature of $1150^{\circ}C$. The solubility limit of Mn ions in delafossite $CuAlO_2$ was found to be as low as about 3 $mol\%$. Positive Hall coefficient and the temperature dependence of conductivity established that non-doped $CuAlO_2$ ceramic is a variable-range hopping p-type semiconductor. It was found that the Mn-doping in $CuAlO_2$ rapidly reduced the hole concentration and conductivity, indicating compensation of free holes. The analysis of the magnetization data provided an evidence that antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction is the dominant mechanism of the exchange coupling between Mn ions in $CuAl_{1-x}Mn_{x}O$ alloy, leading to an almost paramagnetic behavior in this alloy.
