We report several experimental data capable of evaluating the amorphous-to-crystalline (a-c) phase transformation in $(Ag)_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1) thin films prepared by a thermal evaporation. The isothermal a-c structural phase changes were evaluated by XRD, and the optical transmittance was measured in the wavelength range of $800{\sim}3000$ nm using a UV-vis-IR spectrophotometer. A speed of the a-c transition was evaluated by detecting the reflection response signals using a nano-pulse scanner with 658 nm laser diode (power P = $1{\sim}17$ mW, pulse duration t = $10{\sim}460$ ns). The surface morphology and roughness of the films were imaged by AFM. It was found that the crystallization speed was so enhanced with an increase of Ag content. While the sheet resistance of c-phase $(Ag)_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ was similar to that of c-phase $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ (i.e., $R_c{\sim}10{\Omega}/{\square}$), the sheet resistance of a-phase $(Ag)_x(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{1-x}$ was found to be lager than that of a-phase $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$, $R_a{\sim}5{\times}10^6{\Omega}{/\square}$. For example, the ratios of $R_a/R_c$ for $Ge_2Sb_2Te_5$ and $(Ag)_{0.1}(Ge_2Sb_2Te_5)_{0.9}$ were approximately $5{\times}10^5$ and $5{\times}10^6$, respectively.

간염 보균자의 혈액으로부터 Dane 입자를 분리하였다. Dane 입자의 핵으로부터 분리해낸 DNA는 $\alpha$-($^{32}$P) dNTP 존재하의 DNA 폴리머레이즈 반응 후 액체 씬틸레이션 카운터와 한천 전기영동 및 가이거 뮐러 카운터에 의하여 간염의 DNA임이 확인되었다. 간염 바이러스에 의한 감염을 막기 위한 백신으로서의 B형 간염 바이러스 표면항원을 생산하기 위하여 산성포스파테이즈 프로모터를 갖는 재조합 프라스미드를 함유하는 효모균주를 사용하였다. 재조합 프라스미드는 pHBV 130 및 pAM 82로부터 제작되었으며 대장균에 변환되어진 후 효모균주에 전달되었다. 간염 표면항원은 조절된 무기 인산 농도하에서 버크홀더 최소배지에서의 저해 해제로 생산되었다. 간염 표면항원의 생산 속도도 조사하였다. 전체 간염 표면항원 활성은 인산이 없는 배지에 옮겨진 뒤 3시간 내지 6시간에서 급격히 증가하였으며 9시간째에 최대에 도달하였다. 인산이 없는 배지에 옮기는 것은 고농도 인산 배지에서의 세포 배양을 6시간동안 수행한 뒤에 하는 것이 최적의 결과를 나타내었다.

Objectives We investigated the genotoxic effects of 40-59 nm silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) by bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test), in vitro comet assay and micronucleus (MN) assay. In particular, we directly compared the effect of cytochalasin B (cytoB) and rat liver homogenate (S9 mix) in the formation of MN by Ag-NPs. Methods Before testing, we confirmed that Ag-NPs were completely dispersed in the experimental medium by sonication (three times in 1 minute) and filtration ($0.2{\mu}m$ pore size filter), and then we measured their size in a zeta potential analyzer. After that the genotoxicity were measured and especially, S9 mix and with and without cytoB were compared one another in MN assay. Results Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 strains revealed that Ag-NPs with or without S9 mix did not display a mutagenic effect. The genotoxicity of Ag-NPs was also evaluated in a mammalian cell system using Chinese hamster ovary cells. The results revealed that Ag-NPs stimulated DNA breakage and MN formation with or without S9 mix in a dose-dependent manner (from $0.01{\mu}g/mL$ to $10{\mu}g/mL$). In particular, MN induction was affected by cytoB. Conclusions All of our findings, with the exception of the Ames test results, indicate that Ag-NPs show genotoxic effects in mammalian cell system. In addition, present study suggests the potential error due to use of cytoB in genotoxic test of nanoparticles.

In the present study the effect of cooling rate during solidification on the microstructural characteristics of Al-xAg (x = 31, 33, 35 at.%) in-situ binary eutectic composites has been investigated. To provide a wide range of cooling rate three different casting techniques, i.e. conventional casting, injection casting, and melt spinning have been used. The observed microstructure is very much dependent on the cooling rate. The fcc ${\alpha}$-Al and hcp $Ag_2Al$ phases exhibits an orientation of (111)Al//(0001)$Ag_2Al$, [1-10]Al//[11- 20]$Ag_2Al$. The microstructure of the melt-spun samples contains Widmanstatten structure resulting from solid-state transformation and nano scale two-phase structure resulting from solid-state phase separation. The microstructure of injection-cast samples contains eutectic structure and solid state phase-separated structure. On the other hand, conventional-cast samples exhibit a microstructure consisted of plate-type eutectic structure.

We performed a basic experiment for rapid, on-line, real-time measurement of HBsAg by using a surface plasmon resonance biosensor to quantify the recognition and interaction of biomolecules. We immobilized the anti-HBsAg polyclonal antibody to the dextran layer on a CM5 chip surface which was pre-activated by N-hydroxysuccinimide for amine coupling. The binding of the HBsAg to the immobilized antibody was measured by the mass increase detected by the change in the SPR signal. The binding characteristics between HBsAg and its antibody followed typical monolayer adsorption isotherm. When the entire immobilized antibody was interacted, there was no additional, non-specific binding observed, which suggested the biointeraction was very specific as expected and independent of the ligand density. No significant steric hindrance was observed at 17.6 nm/$mm^2$ immobilization density. The relationship between the HBsAg concentration in the sample solution and the antigen bound to the chip surface was linear up to ca. $40\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, which is much wider than that of the ELISA method. It appeared the antigen-antibody binding was increased as the immobilized ligand density increased, but verification is warranted. This study showed the potential of this biosensor-based method as a rapid, simple, multi-sample, on-line assay. Once properly validated, it can serve as a more powerful method for HBsAg quantification replacing the current ELISA method.

The aim of this study was to investigate the natural antioxidant activity of raw garlic (RG), aged black garlic (AG), and garlic fermented with Bacillus subtilis (FG) extracts on pork patty lipid oxidation throughout refrigerated storage. The total polyphenol, total flavonoid content, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging activity of three different types of garlic extracts were measured. The total phenolic and flavonoid content of AG was significantly higher than that of FG and RG; FG also showed a significantly higher total phenolic content than that of RG (p<0.05). The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of AG and FG was significantly higher than that of RG and that of AG was significantly higher than that of FG (p<0.05). To investigate the effect of processed garlic extracts on pork patty lipid oxidation, freeze-dried extracts of RG, FG, and AG were added to the patties at levels of 0.5% (w/w). Patties containing 0.01% (w/w) ascorbic acid (AA) and patties without treatment (CON) were compared with patties containing garlic extracts. The pH value, 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances value, and volatile basic nitrogen value of pork patties containing AG and FG extracts were significantly decreased compared to the other groups (CON, AA, and RG; p<0.05). Taken together, these results suggest that AG and FG extracts possess strong antioxidative activity and can serve as natural antioxidative additives to prevent pork patty lipid oxidation.

인듐주석산화막/폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(ITO/PET: indium tin oxide/polyethylene terephthalate) 유연 기판 위에 성장된 산화아연(ZnO) 나노로드(nanorods)를 이용하여 형성된 은(Ag) 입자의 광학적 특성 및 소수성 표면에 대해 조사하였다. 시료를 준비하기 위해 스퍼터링법(sputtering)으로 코팅된 산화아연 씨드층(seed layer)을 이용하여 전기화학증착법(electrochemical deposition)으로 산화아연 나노로드를 성장시킨 후, 열증발증착법(thermal evaporation)을 사용하여 은을 증착하였다. 산화아연 나노로드의 불연속적인 표면 특성 때문에 은이 증착되면서 나노크기를 갖는 입자로 형성되었다. 비교를 위해 같은 조건으로 은을 평평한 ITO/PET에 증착하여 시료를 준비하였으며, 증착되는 은의 양을 조절하기 위해 100초에서 600초까지 열증발증착시간을 변화시켰다. 은 증착시간이 증가할수록 산화아연 나노로드 표면에 형성되는 은 입자의 크기와 양이 증가하였으며, 또한 빛의 흡수율이 가시광 영역에서 크게 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 은 입자의 국소표면플라즈몬공명(localized surface plasmon resonance)에서 기인된 것으로 짐작한다. 또한 물방울 테스트실험에서 평평한 ITO/PET에 증착된 은에서의 접촉각(contact angle)보다 산화아연 나노로드에 증착된 은 입자에서의 접촉각이 크게 증가함을 보여, 개선된 소수성 표면을 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한 광학적 특성과 소수성 표면 결과는 산화아연 나노로드의 기반의 염료감응형 태양전지 또는 자정효과(self-cleaning)를 갖는 표면구조로 유연소자에 유용하게 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Water vapor adsorption kinetics of 3 different types of chitosan-based films, i.e., control chitosan, chitosan/montmorillionite (Na-MMT), and chitosan/silver-zeolite (Ag-Ion) nanocomposite films, were investigated at temperature range of $10-40^{\circ}C$. In all the films, water vapor is initially adsorbed rapidly and then it comes slowly to reach equilibrium condition. Reasonably good straight lines were obtained with plotting of 1/($m-m_0$) vs. l/t. It was found that water vapor adsorption kinetics of chitosan-based films was accurately described by a simple empirical model and the rate constant of the model followed temperature dependence according to Arrhenius equation. Arrhenius kinetic parameters ($E_a$ and $k_o$) for water vapor adsorption by chitosan-based films showed a kinetic compensation effect between the parameters with the isokinetic temperature of 315.52 K.

본 연구에서는 태양광 접속함 모듈 적용을 위한 유연 솔더(Sn-Pb) 및 무연 솔더(Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu 및 Sn-1.0Ag-0.7Cu-1.6Bi-0.2In)의 특성을 비교 평가하였다. 접속함 내에는 전압 및 전류 검출용 모듈, 고내압용 다이오드가 실장된 정류모듈 등 다양한 모듈이 내장되어있다. 본 연구에서는 솔더링특성, 인쇄성, 솔더형상 검사, X-ray를 이용한 솔더 내 void 검사 및 접합강도를 측정하였고, 무연 솔더 합금의 공정최적화는 step 1과 step 2로 구분하여 검토를 실시하였다. Step 1은 유연 솔더와 무연 솔더 페이스트 인쇄 검사 시험을 1차와 2차로 나누어 실험을 진행하였고 printability는 void 함량 및 접합강도의 상관관계로 검토하였다. 전체적으로 유연 솔더의 특성은 무연 솔더에 비하여 상대적으로 우수하였다. Step 2는 리플로우 공정의 최고점 온도 변화에 따른 접합부 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 리플로우 최고 온도가 증가할수록 접합부 내의 void 함량이 2~4% 정도 감소하였고, 접합강도는 약 0.5 kgf 범위내에서 큰 차이 없이 나타났다. 기판 표면처리종류에 있어서는 ENIG 표면처리가 OSP 및 Pb-free 솔더 표면처리보다 우수한 접합강도를 나타내었다. 1종류의 무연솔더와 OSP 표면처리로 접합된 태양광 접속함 모듈의 500 싸이클 열충격 신뢰성시험 전후에 전기적 특성변화는 0.3% 내의 범위에서 안정적으로 작동함을 확인하였다.

Stress/stram dependencies of the critical current $I_c$ in AgMgNi sheathed multifilamentary Bi(2212) superconducting tapes were evaluated at 77K, 0T. The external reinforcement was accomplished by soldering Ag-Mg tapes to sin91e side or both sides of the sample. With the external reinforcement. the strength of tapes increased but $I_c$, decreased The $I_c$, degradation characteristic according to the external reinforcement was improved markedly in terms of the stress although it appeared less rectal.table on the basis of the strain. Effects of external reinforcement were discussed in a viewpoint of monitoring sensitivity of cracking in superconducting filaments by considering n-value representing the transport behavior of the current. It is closely associated with the location of them relative to the voltage-monitoring region in the tape.
