This paper deals with the development of a deep-learning-based robot that recognizes various types of stairs and performs a mission to go up to the target floor. The overall motion sequence of the robot is performed based on the ROS robot operating system, and it is possible to detect the shape of the stairs required to implement the motion sequence through rapid object recognition through YOLOv4 and Cuda acceleration calculations. Using the ROS operating system installed in Jetson Nano, a system was built to support communication between Arduino DUE and OpenCM 9.04 with heterogeneous hardware and to control the movement of the robot by aligning the received sensors and data. In addition, the web server for robot control was manufactured as ROS web server, and flow chart and basic ROS communication were designed to enable control through computer and smartphone through message passing.

불안정한 생리활성물질들은 외부 환경에 의해 빠르게 분해된다. 그러므로 이러한 물질들을 안정화시키기 위한 캡슐화 기술은 매우 중요하다. 비타민 $D_3$의 전구체인 7-디하이드로콜레스테롤(7-DHC)은 일반인의 표피 각화세포에서 열충격 단백질(Heat Shock Protein)의 발현을 단백질과 mRNA의 수준에서 증가시키는 것으로 알려졌다. 하지만 7-DHC의 국소용 피부 제제로의 이용은 낮은 용해도와 화학적 불안정성 때문에 이용이 제한되었다. 본 연구에서 7-DHC는 나노에멀젼(NE), 고형 지질 나노 입자 (SLN) 그리고 키토산이 코팅된 고형 지질 나노 입자(CASLN)에 봉입하였다. NE와 SLN은 지질의 용융점 이상의 온도에서 고압의 호모제나이져를 통과시켜 제조하였다. CASLN은 SLN 분산액에 키토산을 용액을 첨가하여 제조하였으며 양(+)의 제타전위를 나타내었다. NE, SLN, CASLN 속에서 7-DHC의 안정도를 각각의 온도조건에서 시간의 경과에 따라 확인하였다. 열분석과 X선 회절 분석은 지질의 결정화 정도를 확인하기 위해서 수행하였다. 그 결과, CASLN은 기존의 SLN보다 불안정한 7-DHC를 효과적으로 봉입함으로서 안정성을 개선시켰다.

본 연구에서는 화장품과 의약품 분야에서 항산화 물질로 널리 사용되고 있는 지용성 비타민인 vitamin E acetate (VEA, tocopheryl acetate)를 이용한 스킨토너 제형의 나노 입자 크기의 에멀젼을 제조하고, 이 에멀젼을 이용해 ICR outbred albino mice (12주령 약 50 g, 암컷) 피부로의 VEA 침투와 receptor phase 조성에 따른 VEA의 용해도 차이에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. VEA를 0.07 wt% 함유한 nano-emulsion의 입자는 에탄올(ethanol, EtOH) 함량이 많을수록 그 크기가 커지는 경향을 보였고 계면활성제 함량이 많은 경우 크기가 작아지는 것을 확인하였다. Receptor phase에서 적절한 EtOH 함량이 VEA의 용해도를 증가시켰다. EtOH 함량이 5.0, 40.0 wt%인 경우보다 10.0, 20.0 wt% 일 때 VEA의 용해도가 높은 것을 확인하였다. Receptor phase의 계면활성제 종류 역시 VEA 용해도에 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다. 화학구조와 HLB값이 다른 세 가지 계면활성제를 비교한 결과 sorbitan sesquioleate (Arlacel 83; HLB 3.7) > POE (10) hydrogenated castor oil (HCO-10; HLB 6.5) > sorbitan monostearate (Arlacel 60; HLB 4.7)순으로 VEA에 대한 용해도가 증가하였다. Receptor phase에 첨가된 산화 방지제 종류에 따라서도 VEA의 용해도는 차이를 보였다. Ascorbic acid를 함유한 시료는 EDTA-2Na가 첨가된 시료보다 VEA 용해도가 높았고 이 두 가지 산화방지제를 혼합한 시료와 초기에 비슷한 용해도를 보였지만 시간이 지남에 따라 양상이 달라져 최종 24 h 뒤에는 2배 정도의 높은 용해도를 보였다. 네 가지 다른 함량의 VEA 함유 nano-emulsion을 이용하여 쥐 피부 Franz diffusion cell 실험을 수행한 결과 EtOH 함량이 10.0 wt%인 경우에 128.8 ${\mu}g/cm^2$으로 VEA가 가장 높게 검출되었다. 이것은 초기 VEA 투입량인 220.057 ${\mu}g/cm^2$과 비교하여 58.53 %가 투과된 것으로 EtOH 함량이 1.0, 20.0 wt%인 에멀젼과 비교해 볼 때 각각 45 %, 15 %씩 높았다. 동일한 EtOH 농도로 제조한 에멀젼과 비교했을 때, 0.5 wt% 계면활성제를 사용한 에멀젼의 입자 크기는 계면활성제 0.007 wt% 에멀젼 입자 크기의 1/20 정도인 26.0 nm로 매우 작았다. 하지만 쥐 피부를 투과하는 VEA의 양은 54.848 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ 로 128.8 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ 의 투과량을 보인 0.007 wt% 계면활성제 함유 에멀젼보다 적었다. 이상의 결과들로 VEA를 함유한 nano-emulsion의 피부 투과도와 receptor phase 조성에 따른 VEA의 용해도 차이를 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들을 이용하여 VEA를 피부 내로 침투시키는 데 필요한 최적의 조건을 확립할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

고분자 용액의 전기분무에서 금속 샘플 포집기들은 분무된 입자로부터 흔히 용매를 충분히 제거하거나 재분산이 가능한 분무 입자를 회수하는데 효과적이지 못하다. 단백질 약물의 캡슐화(encapsulation)를 위해 본 연구에서는 입자를 분산매(응고액제)의 층류 안으로 분무하는 새로운 전기분무시스템을 설계하였다. 캡슐화용 물질로 키토산과 폴리아크릴산이 사용되었다. 이 새로운 시스템을 사용하여 입자의 응집을 방지할 수 있었으며, 4~16 kV의 전압과 같은 유속에서 unimodal한 입도분포를 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 가한 전압이 평균 입자 크기에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았다.

The drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle which has no human pilot. Drones can be classified into military drones, commercial drones, and personal drones by usage. Also, drones can be classified from large-sized to nano-sized drone by size and autonomous, remote controlled drone by control type. Especially, military drones can be classified into low-altitude drones, medium-altitude, and high-altitude drones by altitude. Recently, the drone industry is one of the fast growing industries in the world. As drone technologies have become more advanced and cost-effective, Korean government has set its goal to become a top-level country in drone business. However, the government's strict regulation for drone operations is one of the biggest hurdles for the development of the related technologies in Korea and other countries. For example, critical problems for drone delivery can be classified into technical issues and institutional issues. Technical issues include durability, conditional awareness, grasp and release mechanisms, collision avoidance systems, drone operating system. Institutional issues include pilot and operator licensing, privacy rules, noise guidelines, security rules, education for drone police. This study analyzes the trends of the drone industry from the viewpoint of technology and regulation. Also, we define the business areas of drone utilization. Especially, the drone business types or models for public sector are proposed. Drone services or functions promoting public interests need to be aligned with the business reference model of Korean government. To define ten types of drone uses for public sector, we combine the business types of government with the future uses of drones that are proposed by futurists and business analysts. Future uses of drones can be divided into three sectors or services. First, drone services for public or military sectors include early warning systems, emergency services, news reporting, police drones, library drones, healthcare drones, travel drones. Second, drone services for commercial or industrial services include parcel delivery drones, gaming drones, sporting drones, farming and agriculture drones, ranching drones, robotic arm drones. Third, drone services for household sector include smart home drones.

Background: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is photo-treatment of malignant or benign diseases using photosensitizing agents, light, and oxygen which generates cytotoxic reactive oxygens and induces tumour regressions. Several photodynamic treatments have been extensively studied and the photosensitizers (PS) are key to their biological efficacy, while laser and oxygen allow to appropriate and flexible delivery for treatment of diseases. Introduction: In presence of oxygen and the specific light triggering, PS is activated from its ground state into an excited singlet state, generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induces apoptosis of cancer tissues. Those PS can be divided by its specific efficiency of ROS generation, absorption wavelength and chemical structure. Main body: Up to dates, several PS were approved for clinical applications or under clinical trials. $Photofrin^{(R)}$ is the first clinically approved photosensitizer for the treatment of cancer. The second generation of PS, Porfimer sodium ($Photofrin^{(R)}$), Temoporfin ($Foscan^{(R)}$), Motexafin lutetium, Palladium bacteriopheophorbide, $Purlytin^{(R)}$, Verteporfin ($Visudyne{(R)}$), Talaporfin ($Laserphyrin^{(R)}$) are clinically approved or under-clinical trials. Now, third generation of PS, which can dramatically improve cancer-targeting efficiency by chemical modification, nano-delivery system or antibody conjugation, are extensively studied for clinical development. Conclusion: Here, we discuss up-to-date information on FDA-approved photodynamic agents, the clinical benefits of these agents. However, PDT is still dearth for the treatment of diseases in specifically deep tissue cancer. Next generation PS will be addressed in the future for PDT. We also provide clinical unmet need for the design of new photosensitizers.

Background: Nano-therapy has the potential to revolutionize cancer therapy. Chrysin, a natural flavonoid, was recently recognized as having important biological roles in chemical defenses and nitrogen fixation, with anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects but the poor water solubility of flavonoids limitstheir bioavailability and biomedical applications. Objective: Chrysin loaded PLGA-PEG-PLGA was assessed for improvement of solubility, drug tolerance and adverse effects and accumulation in a gastric cancer cell line (AGS). Materials and Methods: Chrysin loaded PLGA-PEG copolymers were prepared using the double emulsion method (W/O/W). The morphology and size distributions of the prepared PLGA-PEG nanospheres were investigated by 1H NMR, FT-IR and SEM. The in vitro cytotoxicity of pure and nano-chrysin was tested by MTT assay and miR-34a was measured by real-time PCR. Results: 1H NMR, FT-IR and SEM confirmed the PLGA-PEG structure and chrysin loaded on nanoparticles. The MTT results for different concentrations of chrysin at different times for the treatment of AGS cell line showed IC50 values of 68.2, 56.2 and $42.3{\mu}M$ and 58.2, 44.2, $36.8{\mu}M$ after 24, 48, and 72 hours of treatment, respectively for chrysin itslef and chrysin-loaded nanoparticles. The results of real time PCR showed that expression of miR-34a was upregulated to a greater extent via nano chrysin rather than free chrysin. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates chrysin loaded PLGA-PEG promises a natural and efficient system for anticancer drug delivery to fight gastric cancer.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have developed into one of the most competitively researched nano-materials of this decade because of their structural uniqueness and excellent physical properties such as nanoscale one dimensionality, high aspect ratio, high mechanical strength, thermal conductivity and excellent electrical conductivity. Mass production and structure control of CNTs are key factors for a feasible CNT industry. Water and ethanol vapor enhance the catalytic activity for massive growth of vertically aligned CNTs. A shower system for gas flow improves the growth of vertically aligned single walled CNTs (SWCNTs) by controlling the gas flow direction. Delivery of gases from the top of the nanotubes enables direct and precise supply of carbon source and water vapor to the catalysts. High quality vertically aligned SWCNTs synthesized using plasma enhance the chemical vapor deposition technique on substrate with suitable metal catalyst particles. This review provides an introduction to the concept of the growth of vertically aligned SWCNTs and covers advanced topics on the controlled synthesis of vertically aligned SWCNTs.

Nanofood can be simply defined as natural polymer particles containing functional food materials in nanoscale that are synthesized by polymerization or emulsification process. They have very uniform diameters in the range of 1 to 100nm and extensive surface areas due to the small particle size in spite of their non-porosity. Although the technique to produce nanofood has not long developing history, many works have been achieved in various fields. Nanofood has a lot of special advantages, such as functionality, diversity, applicability, etc. In case of the domestic food industries, however, the accumulation of related technique is insufficient against developed countries except used food materials. Also, it is difficult to acquire technical know-how from the developed countries that possess those technologies. We have been studied on preparing functional nanofood and developing new production processes since 1999. Last 5 years we have laid the foundation on the preparation of nanofood and now are focusing on developing new processes of nanofood and expending the field of its applications.
