This study examines the role of six species of microalgae, including Phaeodacylum tricrnutum (PT), Chaetoceros gracilis (CG), Nanochloris oculata (NO), Pavlova lutheri (PL), Chlorella ellipsoidae (CE), and Scendedemus obliquus (SO), on hair loss prevention and scalp improvement. To determine the effects of microalgae extracts on hair loss prevention and scalp improvement, antioxidant activity, cell proliferation in HaCaT cells and HFDPC cells, and the inhibition level of 5-alpha reductase activity were examined. In the study of antioxidant activity, the $EC_{50}$ values of DPPH anti-radical activities indicated that the SO, CG, and ST9 treatment groups demonstrate significant antioxidant activity. In the study of the hydroxyl radical scavenging activity, CG (6.6~42.1%), ST9 (26.0~44.0%), and SO (7.8~44.3%) demonstrated significant effects. Furthermore, SO promoted the proliferation of HaCaT cells and a human epidermal cell line during a 6-day treatment. In the study of the proliferation of HFDPC cells, a hair follicle dermal papilla cell line, CG, and SO significantly stimulated cell proliferation. Finally, PT, CG, and SO significantly inhibited 5-alpha reductase activity. These results suggest that among the six microalgae used in this study, CG and SO have antioxidant effects, induce cell proliferation, inhibit 5-alpha reductase activity, and can be used for hair loss prevention and scalp improvement.

New pyrochlore-type phases($A_2$$B_2$$O_{7}$) were synthesized in the systems: CaO-C$eO_2$-T$iO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-Z$rO_2$, CaO-$UO_2$(T$hO_2$)-$Gd_2$$O_3$-T$iO_2$-Z$rO_2$, 및 CaO-T$hO_2$-S$nO_2$. The starting materials were pressed with the pressure of 200~400 MPa and sintered at 1500~ 155$0^{\circ}C$ for 4~8 hours in air and at 1300~ 135$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 ~50 hours under oxygen atmosphere. The products were characterized using XRD, SEM/EDS and TEM. In the bulk compositions of CaCe$Ti_2$$O_{7}$, CaTh$Zr_2$$O_{7}$,($Ca_{0.5}$ Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$) ($Ca_{0.5}$Gd$Th_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$, ($Ca_{0.5}$G$dU_{0.5}$)(ZrTi)$O_{7}$ and CaTh$Sn_2$$O_{7}$ , pyrochlore was the major phase, together with other oxide phase $of_2$$O_{7}$ fluorite structure. In the samples with target compositions CaU$Zr_2$$O_2$및 $Ca_{0.5}$ G$dU_{0.5}$)$Zr_2$T$iO_{7}$ pyrochlore was not identified, but a fluorite-structured phase was detected. The formation factor as the stable phase depended on crystal chemical characteristics of the actinide and lanthanide elements of the system concerned.

A 4${\times}10^{19}cm^{3}$ carbon-doped base AlGaAs/GaAs HBY was grown using carbontetracholoride(CCl$_4$) by atmospheric pressure MOCVD. Abruptness of emitter-base junction was characterized by SIMS(secondary ion mass spectorscopy) and the doping concentration of base layer was confirmed by DXRD(double crystal X-ray diffractometry). Mesa-type HBTs were fabricated using wet etching and lift-off technique. The base sheet resistance of R$_{sheet}$=550${\Omega}$/square was measured using TLM(transmission line model) method. The fabricated transistor achieved a collector-base junction breakdown voltage of BV$_{CBO}$=25V and a critical collector current density of J$_{O}$=40kA/cm$^2$ at V$_{CE}$=2V. The 50$\times$100$\mu$$^2$ emitter transistor showed a common emitter DC current gain of h$_{FE}$=30 at a collector current density of JS1CT=5kA/cm$^2$ and a base current ideality factor of ηS1EBT=1.4. The high frequency characterization of 5$\times$50$\mu$m$^2$ emitter transistor was carried out by on-wafer S-parameter measurement at 0.1~18.1GHz. Current gain cutoff frequency of f$_{T}$=27GHz and maximum oscillation frequency of f$_{max}$=16GHz were obtained from the measured Sparameter and device parameters of small-signal lumped-element equivalent network were extracted using Libra software. The fabricated HBT was proved to be useful to high speed and power spplications.

$GdBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$(Gd123) powders were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method using $Gd_2O_3$ (99.9% purity), $BaCO_3$ (99.75%) and CuO (99.9%) powders. The synthesized Gd123 powder and the Gd123 powder with $Gd_2O_3$ addition ($Gd_{1.5}Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$(Gd1.5)) were used as raw powders for the fabrication of Gd123 bulk superconductors. The Gd123 and Gd1.5 bulk superconductors were fabricated by sintering or a top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) process. The superconducting transition temperature ($T_{c,onset}$) of the sintered Gd123 was 93 K and the transition width was as large as 20 K. The $T_{c,onset}$ of the TSMG processed Gd123 was 82 K and the transition width was also as large as 12 K. The critical current density ($J_c$) at 77 K and 0 T of the sintered Gd123 and TSMG processed Gd123 were as low as a few hundreds A/$cm^2$. The addition of 0.25 mole $Gd_2O_3$ and 1 wt.% $CeO_2$ to Gd123 enhanced the $T_c$, $J_c$ and magnetic flux density (H) of the TSMG processed Gd123 sample owing to the formation of the superconducting phase with high flux pinning capability. The $T_c$ of the TSMG processed Gd1.5 was 92 K and the transition width was 1 K. The $J_cs$ at 77 K (0 T and 2 T) were $3.2{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$ and $2.5{\times}10^4\;A/cm^2$, respectively. The H at 77 K of the TSMG-processed Gd1.5 was 1.96 kG, which is 54% of the applied magnetic field (3.45 kG).

Acanthamoebn culbertsoni is a pathogenic free-living amoeba causing primary amoebic meningoencephalltls (PAME) in human and mouse. Several reports on the immune responses in mice with this amoebic infection have been published, but the effects of transferred passive Immunity on the active immunization In offspring mice have not been demonstrated. This experiment was done to observe the effect of active Acanthamoebn culbertsoni was cultured in the CGV medium axenlcally. Female BALB/c mice weighing about 20g were immunized through the intraperitoneal injection of Acanthamoeba cuLbensoni trophozoites 1 × 106 each three times at the interval of one week. Offspring mice were immunized two times. The mice were inoculated Intranasally with 1 × 104 trophozoites under secobarbital anesthesia. There was a statistical difference in mortality between the transferred immunity group and the active immunization group. Statistical differences were not demonstrated in antibody titer between both groups. But L3T4+ T ce11/Ly2+T cell ratio was increased in the transferred Immunity group more than active immunization group of the offspring mice at the age of 5 weeks. There was no differences statistically in mortality between both groups. It was recognized that active immunization in offspring mice born to immune mother could modulate the immune status according to the time of Immunization.

After fifteen years of development, Magnetic Resonance (MR) technology for human imaging and spectroscopy is reaching a refined state with FDA approved 3T clinical products from Siemens, GE, and Philips. Broker has cleared CE approval with a 4T system. Varian supports a 4T system platform as well. Shielded magnets are standard at 3T from GE, Oxford, Magnex, and IGC. A shielded 4T whole body magnet is available from Oxford. Stronger switched gradients and dynamic shim coils, desired at any field, areespecially useful at higher static magnetic fields B0. In addition to the higher currents required for higher resolution slice or volume selection afforded by higher SNR, whole body gradient coils will be driven at increasing slew rates to meet the needs of new cardiac applications and other requirements. For example 3T and 4T systems are now being equipped with 2kV, 500A gradient coils and amplifiers capable of generating 4G/cm in 200msec, over a 67+/-cm bore diameter. High field EPI applications require oscillation rates at 1 kHz and higher. To achieve a benchmark 0.2 ppm shim over a 30cm sphere in a high field magnet, at least four stages of shimming need to be considered. 1) A good high field magnet will be built to a homogeneity spec. falling in the range of 100 to 150 ppm over this 30cm spherical "sweet spot" 2) Most modern high field magnets will also have superconducting shim coils capable of finding 1.5 ppm by their adjustment during system installation. 3) Passive ferro-magnetic shimming combined with 4) active, high order room temperature shim coils (as many as five orders are now being recommended) will accomplish 0.2 ppm over the 30cm sphere, and 0.1 ppm over a human brain in even the highest field magnets for human studies. Safety concerns for strong, fast gradients at any B0 field include acoustic noise and peripheral nerve stimulation. One or more of the mechanical decoupling methods may lead to quieter gradients. Patient positioning relative to asymmetric or short gradient coils may limit peripheral nerve stimulation at higher slew rates. Gradient designs combining a short coil for local speed and strength with a longer coil for coverage are being developed for 3T systems. Local gradients give another approach to maximizing performance over a limited region while keeping within the physiologically imposed dB0/dt performance limits.

합류식 하수도는 오수와 우수를 동시에 배제하는 하수관거 시스템으로 시공이 쉽고 건설비용이 저렴한 반면에 강우시 차집되지 않고 월류되는 유출량으로 인해 수체에 악영향을 초래한다. 관거에서 유출되는 유출수는 강우 초기에 유역에서 집중적으로 유출되는 비점오염원과 하수 및 관거내 오염물질 등을 동반하여 수질 개선을 어렵게 하고 수질 악화를 가중시킨다. 본 연구에서는 기존 유역에 설치된 합류식 하수관거를 분류식으로 개선하고 강우시 초기 세척에 의해 유입하는 비점오염원을 삭감하기 위한 초기우수 처리시설 설치에 따른 M 저수지 수질개선 효과를 수치모델을 사용하여 모의하였다. 저수지의 수질예측은 횡방향 평균 2차원 저수지 수리 및 수질모델인 CE-QUAL-W2를 사용하였다. 저수지 유입량은 군산기상대에서 관측한 일별 강우량 자료를 이용하여 일별 유출량을 산정하였고, 댐 방류량 자료는 M저수지의 2006년 일별 관측수위를 이용하여 유입량과 수위-체적 곡선으로부터 산정하였다. 모델의 보정은 2005년 5월과 8월에 측정한 수질자료를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 저수지의 관측값과 모의결과는 저수지 중앙부 대표지점에서 이루어졌으며, 모델은 관측값을 잘 반영하였다. 모의 결과 M 저수지의 연평균 BOD농도는 합류식(1.25 mg/L)에 비해 분류식 하수 관거(0.91 mg/L)를 도입할 경우 27.2% 개선되었으며, 초기우수 처리시설(0.84 mg/L)을 추가 할 경우 32.8%까지 개선효과가 상승하였다. 기존 합류식 하수관거의 경우 연간 유출부하량은 7,713 kg/yr이었으며, 분류식으로 전환할 경우 2,256 kg/yr, 초기우수처리시설을 추가할 경우 902 kg/yr로 삭감되는 것으로 예측되었다. 분류식하수관거와 초기우수처리를 모두 이행할 경우, BOD와 COD 기준이 호수 수질 기준 II등급 이내로 유지되며, T-P 농도는 0.02mg/L 이하로 유지되어 6월 이후 여름철에 저수지내 조류성장 억제에 효과가 클 것으로 예측되었다. 하수관거 정비사업을 통해 M 저수지는 기존의 농업용 저수지의 목표수질뿐만 아니라, 친수공간으로써 적합한 II등급 수질을 유지할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

초전도 coated conductor는 보호층/초전도층/완충층/금속기판의 구조를 가지며 완충층은 다층산화물 박막으로 이루어져 있다. 본 연구에서는 니켈 기판의 원자가 초전도층으로 확산 침투하는 것을 방지하는 YSZ(Yttria Stabilized Zirconia) 박막의 증착방법 및 최적조건에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 금속타겟을 사용하며 산화반응가스로서 수증기를 사용하는 것을 특징으로 하는 DC reactive sputtering을 이용하여 YSZ를 증착하였으며 기판 온도는 $850^{\circ}C$ 이며 증착시 수증기 분압은 1mTorr이었다. YSZ의 최적두께를 알아보기 위하여 $CeO_2(12.2nm)/Ni$ 상부에 130nm, 260nm, 390nm, 650nm로 두께를 달리하여 YSZ층을 증착하고 SEM으로 박막 표면상태를 관찰한 결과 columnar grain growth를 하며 두께가 두꺼워 질수록 표면조도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 4개의 각 시료위에 thermal evaporation 증착법을 이용하여 $CeO_2$를 18.3nm의 두께로 증착한 후 PLD를 이용하여 YBCO 초전도 박막을 300nm 두께로 증착하였고 77K, 0T에서 임계전류가 각각 0, 6A, 7.5A, 5A로 측정되었다. 이는 YSZ층의 두께가 두꺼워질수록 기판 구성원자의 확산방지역할을 충실히 하는 반면에 표면조도는 증가함을 알 수 있었다.
