금속 타겟들을 이용한 반응성 스퍼터링법으로 $460~540^{\circ}C$범위에서 $Pt/Ti/SiO_2$/Si 기판위에 PZT 박막을 증착하였다. Perovskite상의 핵형성을 위해 Pb 휘발이 적은 저온($480^{\circ}C$)에서 짧은 시간 동안 PZT 박막을 증착한 후 Pb가 PBT 박막내에 과잉으로 함유되는 것을 억제하기 위하여 증착 온도를 증가시켜 박막을 증착하는 2단계 증착법을 사용한 결과 54$0^{\circ}C$의 고온에서도 perovskite 단일상과 화학양론비에 가까운 조성을 얻을 수 있었다. 2단계 증착법으로 제조된 PZT 박막은 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었으며 후속 RTA 처리로 더욱 특성을 향상시킬 수 있었는데 $17\mu$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 잔류분극, 45kv/cm의 coercive field, 그러고 -500kv/cm의 높은 전기장에서도 $10^{-4}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 양호한 누설전류 특성을 나타내었다.

Aldose reductase (AR) is known to play a crucial role in the mediation of diabetic and cardiovascular complications. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that allergen-induced airway remodeling and ovalbumin-induced asthma is mediated by AR. Epalrestat is an aldose reductase inhibitor that is currently available for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Whether AR is involved in pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis and whether epalrestat attenuates pulmonary fibrosis remains unknown. Pulmonary fibrosis was induced by intratracheal instillation of bleomycin (5 mg/kg) in rats. Primary pulmonary fibroblasts were cultured to investigate the proliferation by BrdU incorporation method and flow cytometry. The expression of AR, TGF-${\beta}_1$, ${\alpha}$-SMA and collagen I was analyzed by immunohistochemisty, real-time PCR or western blot. In vivo, epalrestat treatment significantly ameliorated the bleomycin-mediated histological fibrosis alterations and blocked collagen deposition concomitantly with reversing bleomycin-induced expression up-regulation of TGF-${\beta}_1$, AR, ${\alpha}$-SMA and collagen I (both mRNA and protein). In vitro, epalrestat remarkably attenuated proliferation of pulmonary fibroblasts and expression of ${\alpha}$-SMA and collagen I induced by TGF-${\beta}_1$, and this inhibitory effect of epalrestat was accompanied by inhibiting AR expression. Knockdown of AR gene expression reversed TGF-${\beta}_1$-induced proliferation of fibroblasts, up-regulation of ${\alpha}$-SMA and collagen I expression. These findings suggest that AR plays an important role in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and epalrestat inhibited the progression of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis is mediated via inhibiting of AR expression.

Australian railway networks possess a large amount of aging timber components and need to replace them in excess of 280 thousands $m^3$ per year. The relatively high turnover of timber sleepers (crossties in a plain track), bearers (skeleton ties in a turnout), and transoms (bridge cross beams) is responsible for producing greenhouse gas emissions 6 times greater than an equivalent reinforced concrete counterparts. This paper presents an innovative solution for the replacement of aging timber transoms installed on existing railway bridges along with the incorporation of a continuous walkway platform, which is proven to provide environmental, safety and financial benefits. Recent developments for alternative composite materials to replace timber components in railway infrastructure construction and maintenance demonstrate some compatibility issues with track stiffness as well as structural and geometrical track systems. Structural concrete are generally used for new railway bridges where the comparatively thicker and heavier fixed slab track systems can be accommodated. This study firstly demonstrates a novel and resilient alterative by incorporating steel-concrete composite slab theory and combines the capabilities of being precast and modulated, in order to reduce the depth, weight and required installation time relative to conventional concrete direct-fixation track slab systems. Clear benefits of the new steel-concrete composites are the maintainability and constructability, especially for existing railway bridges (or brown fields). Critical considerations in the design and finite element modelling for performance benchmarking of composite structures and their failure modes are highlighted in this paper, altogether with risks, compatibilities and compliances.

The ultrastructural study on oocyt development and the process of vitellogensis in the oocytes during oogenesis in female Pampus echinogaster were investigated by electron microscope observations. In the previtellogenic phase, in particular, several intermitochondrial cements appear in the cytoplasms of the chromatin nucleleolus oocyte and perinuclear oocyte. The number of intermitochondrial cements are associated with the multiplication of the number of mitochondria in the early developmental stage. In the early vitellogenic phase, the Golgi complex in the cytoplasm of the yolk vesicle oocyte is involved in the formation of yolk vesicles containing carbohydrate yolks. At this time, many pinocytotic vesicles containing yolk precursors (exogenous substances) by pinocytosis are observed in the cytoplasm near the region of initial formation of the zona pellucida. In the late vitellogenic phase, two morphological different bodies, which formed by the modified mitochondria, appeared remarkably in the yolked oocytes. The one is the multivesicular bodies and another is yolk precursors. The multivesicular bodies were transformed into the primary yolk globules, while yolk precursors were connected with exogeneous pinocytotic vesicles near the zona pellucida. After the pinocytotic vesicles were taken into yolk precursors, the yolk precursors were transformed into the primary yolk globules. Thereafter, primary yolk globules mixed with each other, eventually, they developed into secondary and tertiary yolk globules. In this study, vitellogenesis of this species occurred by way of endogenous autosynthesis and exogenous heteogenesis. Vitellogenesis occurred through the processes of endogeneous autosynthesis, involving the combined activity of the Golgi complex, mitochondria and multivesicular bodies formed by modified mitochondria. However, the process of heterosynthesis involved pinocytotic incorporation of extraovarian precursors (such as vitellogenin in the liver) into the zona pellucida (by way of granulosa cells and thecal cells) of vitellogenic oocytes.

MFD (Make up Film Deterioration) is a gradual deterioration of applied make up and is a common problem experienced by most foundation users. Our investigation revealed that for 64% of all make up users MFD is their greatest consern is using foundations. Known that the primary cause of MFD is sebum secretion. We observed that the length of time prior to onset of MFD in people who produce high level of sebum varies significantly from person to person. This suggests that other factors besides quantity of sebum production can affect MFD. Control over this factor would, we believe, be key to developing longer-lasting makeups. We studied the relationship between MFD and skin surface conditions. Our study revealed that furrows on the skin surface affect MFD significantly. Sebum reaches the skin surface from sebaceous glands and flows along furrow on the skin. If there are many deep furrows, it takes longer for sebum to overflow. But if the furrows are few or shallow, sebum quickly overflows and spreads over the skin surface where it can degrade the make up film. Therefore even when the volume of sebum produced is the same, the rate of MFD will be different depending on the number and shape of the furrows. A longer-lasting foundation could be produced by matching personal skin condition, but this would be very difficult because individual variations in texture are very large. Therefore we approached the problem by attempting to impose sebum resistance in under make up and foundation. We have developed two new materials and make up products based on our theory. A new fluoroalkyl acrylate-methacrylates copolymer designed for incorporation in under make up is extremely sebum resistant and sweat proof. Another new acrylate polymer designed for inclusion in foundation absorbs sebum and changes to a solid. Usage tests confirm it is possible to reduce MFD by using under make up and foundation which incorporate our new materials to cover where skin furrows are few or shallow

다중 채널 스위치 구조의 중요한 이점 중의 하나는 스위치 내부의 장애에 대한 내성 (tolerance)을 스위치 구조에 결합시킬 수 있다는 것이다. 예를 들어 하나의 다중 채널 그룹에 속하는 경로에 장애가 있을 경우, 장애 경로로 통과했어야 하는 트래픽을 나머지 경로가 책임 질 수 있다. 또한 스위치 소자에 발생하는 장애는 ATM 셀(cell)의 잘못된 라우팅을 야기하거나 순서를 뒤바꾸게 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다중 채널 크로스바(crossbar) ATM 스위치에서의 장애 위치 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 최적의 알고리즘은 시간적으로 최상의 성능을 보여주지만, 계산상으로는 복잡하여 결과적으로 실제 구현을 어렵게 만든다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 최적의 알고리즘보다 계산상으로 효율적인 온라인 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 성능은 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였으며 그 결과로서 온라인 알고리즘의 성능은 랜덤 (random) 트래픽 및 버스트한 (bursty) 트래픽에 대해 거의 최적에 가까운 성능을 보여 준다. 끝으로 장애 위치 확인 알고리즘에 의해 제공되는 정보를 이용한 장애 복구 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

Background: We previously demonstrated remarkable differences in the expression of IL-8/CXCL8 in aortic tissues and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) from spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) compared to VSMC from normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY). In the present study, we investigated the direct effect of IL-8/CXCL8 on expression of 12-lipoxygenase (LO), a hypertensive modulator, in SHR VSMC. Methods: Cultured aortic VSMC from SHR and WKY were used. Expression of 12-LO mRNA was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Phosphorlyation of ERK1/2 and production of 12-LO and angiotensin II subtype 1 ($AT_1$) receptor were assessed by Western blots. IL-8/CXCL8-stimulated DNA synthesis was determined by measuring incorporation of [$^3H$]-thymidine. And effect of IL-8/CXCL8 on vascular tone was determined by phenylephrine-induced contraction of thoracic aortic rings. Results: Treatment with IL-8/CXCL8 greatly increased 12-LO mRNA expression and protein production compared to treatment with angiotensin II. IL-8/CXCL8 also increased the expression of the $AT_1$ receptor. The increase in 12-LO induced by IL-8/CXCL8 was inhibited by treatment with an $AT_1$ receptor antagonist. The induction of 12-LO mRNA production and the proliferation of SHR VSMC by IL-8/CXCL8 was mediated by the ERK pathway. The proliferation of SHR VSMC and the vascular contraction in the thoracic aortic ring, both of which were induced by IL-8/CXCL8, were inhibited by baicalein, a 12-LO inhibitor. Conclusion: These results suggest that the potential role of IL-8/CXCL8 in hypertensive processes is likely mediated through the 12-LO pathway.

Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) have been developed as a new drug delivery system. Although many particulate drug carriers, such as microsphere, liposome, niosome, emulsion, etc. have been introduced, they have some disadvantage; low efficiency of incorporation and stability, lack of reproducibility, and so on. Meanwhile, SLN as a new drug delivery system is known to entrap rugs with a high efficiency and a good reproducibility. Moreover, small size SLN can circulate in blood for a prolonged time. Although many preparation methods were introduced, microfluidization method is recommended to be the most useful. This study was attempted to prepare and evaluate ketoprofen-incorporated SLNs (keto-SLN), which were prepared by two methods, ultrasonication and microfluidization. Keto-SLN was evaluated by measurement of particle size and zeta potential, efficacy of entrapment, sedimentation volume, in virto release pattern. The mean particle size was about $0.1\;{\mu}m$, and the size was dependent on the type and the amount of emulsifier. Zeta potential was negative, $-9{\sim}-13mV$ and entrapment efficacy was very high and stability was good for at least 60 days in the respect of particle size and sedimentation volume ratio. Analgesic effect was also determined as well as pharmacokinetic parameters. The former was comparable to that of that of ketoprofen loaded suspension (keto-sus) and the latter revealed that consistent with the delayed release of keto-SLN. $T_{max}$ was longer than keto-sus. Therefore, keto-SLN was favourable dosage forms in the field of drug delivery system such as anti-cancer, analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents.
