본 연구에서는 전 세계적으로 활발히 연구되고 있는 나노바이오센서 분야 중 가장 주목을 받고 있는 LSPR 원리를 이용한 바이오센서를 제작하였다. 금속 나노입자의 국소 표면 플라즈몬 공명현상에 의한 주위환경에 민감하게 반응하는 특성은 고감도 광학형 바이오센서, 화학물질 검출 센서등에 응용된다. 특히 금 나노막대와 같은 1차 나노구조물은 나노막대의 주변 환경 변화에 따라 뚜렷한 플라즈몬 흡수 밴드 변화를 나타냄으로 센서로 적용 했을 때 고감도의 측정이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 다공성인 알루미늄 양극산화 박막 주형틀을 이용하여 다양한 종횡비를 가지는 금 나노막대를 합성하고, 나노막대 어레이 형태의 박막을 제작하였다. 금 나노막대의 합성은 알루미늄 양극산화막을 사용한 주형제조 방법(template method)을 사용하는 전기화학 증착법을 사용하였다. 우선 부도체인 알루미늄 양극 산화막의 한쪽면을 열증착 장비를 사용하여 금을 증착하여 작업 전극(working electrode)을 형성하였다. 백금 선(platinum wire)을 보조 전극(counter electrode)으로 사용하고 Ag/AgCl 전극을 기준 전극(reference electrode)으로 사용하여 삼전극계(three-electrode system)를 형성하였으며, 금 도금 용액(orotemp 24 gold plating solution, TECHNIC INC.)을 사용하여, 800 mV 전압에서 금 나노 막대를 합성하였다. 금 나노막대의 길이는 테플론 챔버를 통과한 전하량 또는 전기 증착 시간에 비례하여 결정된다. 금 나노막대를 성장시킨 알루미늄 양극산화막을 실리콘 웨이퍼에 은 페이스트를 사용하여 고정시킨 후 수산화나트륨 (NaOH)용액을 사용하여 알루미늄 양극산화막을 녹여내어 수직방향으로 정렬되어 있는 나노 막대 어레이 박막을 제조 하였다. 또한 제작된 금 나노막대 어레이의 광학적 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서와 같이 나노막대를 직경방향으로 측정할 경우, 직경방향의 transverse mode만 측정된다. 금 나노 막대가 알루미늄 양극산화막 안에 포함된 상태로 측정된 금 나노로드 어레이 박막의 광 스펙트럼 분포는 금 나노막대의 가시광영역에서의 흡수 스펙트럼을 측정하였을시 직경 및 길이에 따라 transverse mode의 ${\lambda}$ max (최대 흡광)의 위치가 변화됨을 나타낸다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 나노막대의 종횡비가 증가함에 따라 흡수 스펙트럼의 transverse mode ${\lambda}$ max가 미약하게 단파장 영역으로 이동하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 이러한 결과는 원기둥 형태의 금 나노막대의 흡수 스펙트럼에 대한 이론적인 예측과 부합한다. 바이오센서로의 적용 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 자기조립단분자막을 형성하여 항체를 고정하고 CRP에 대한 응답특성을 평가하였다. CRP 항원-항체의 면역반응에 대한 실험 결과 CRP 항원의 농도가 증가함에 따라 넓은 측정범위에서 선형적으로 흡광도가 증가하는 결과를 나타내었으며, CRP 10 fg/ml의 농도까지 검출할 수 있었다. 센서의 선택성을 확인하기 위하여 감지하고자하는 대상물질이 아닌 Tn T 항원을 감지막에 반응시켜 흡광도 변화를 분석하였다. 결과적으로 제작된 센서칩은 선택성을 가지고 측정하고자하는 물질에만 반응함을 확인하였다. 이러한 결과는 다양한 직경을 사용한 부가적인 LSPR현상의 연구에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Cyclobuxine D, a steroidal alkaloid, was extracted from Buxus microphylla var. koreana Nakai. The effects of cyclobuxine D on carrageenin-induced pleurisy and croton oil-induced granuloma pouch in rats was investigated and compared with those of aspirin, hydrocortisone ana dexamethasone. Intrapleural injection of 2% carrageenin caused the accumulation of exudate. The rate of plasma exudation, measured by the exuded dye amounts for 20 min in the pleural cavity after intravenous injection of pontamine sky blue, showed a peak at 5 hr. Cyclobuxine D (5, 20 and 50 mg/kg, i.p.) suppressed dose-dependently the accumulation of the pleural exudate and the exudation of dye. Among several methods used for screening and evaluation anti-inflammatory agents, granuloma pouch technic introduced by Hans Selye (Hans seyle, 1953) is considered as a simple and reliable method. An air pocket was produced in the subcutaneous tissue of the interscapular region by injection of 1 ml of 1% croton oil as irritant. Inflammatory exudate accumulated in the pouch during the succeding 14 days. Cyclobuxine D (5 and 20 mg/kg) decreased fluid volume in pouch and weight of pouch wall in granulomatous inflammation.

This study develops a technique training program to enhance the completion of Kolman, the high air flight technique, and applies it to two national athletes of the horizontal bar, one of the gymnastic events, for eight weeks. After that, their improvement was measured through 3D motion analysis to help them elevate their performance. The training program includes swing, hand release, twist, and bar hold, and its implementation produced the results stated below. They were made to practice the motion in the following way. After the hand-standing of giant swing which initiates the motion, they lift their body upward a little bit more. Next, they take their body down almost like a vertical descent and make a deep tap swing. Instead of doing the tap swing which widens the flection of hip and shoulder joints, while body revolution is more emphasized in particular, they release the bar as raising the centroid of their body sufficiently. During the flight, they try to narrow every joint in their body. As a result, the bar's elasticity becomes greatly increased, and since the backing rate of their body gets higher, the centripetal force of the swing is improved that they can release the bar in the higher position. In addition, because they can erect their body faster during the flight, they can perform comfortable twist and revolution in the air. They can also adjust the direction of the flight easily without too much concern for the proper timing of hand release as they rise. Thereby, they can not only maintain adequate distance from the bar for the bar hold but also ensure enough distance for body revolution and twist.

Endogenous analgesic systems are known to be activated by peripheral noxious stimulation as well as arterial carbon dioxide elevation. In the present study, neuronal Activities in the rostral ventrolateral med- ulla were identified and classified in according to their rhythmic activities, and their responses to noxious peripheral nerve stimulations before and after elevating the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure were investigated Using extracellular recording technic, a total of 53 spontaneously active neurons were recorded from the rostral ventrolateral medulla in u-chloralose anesthetized cats. These were classified as cardiovascular (28), respiratory (16), both cardiovascular and respiratory (2) and noncardiovascular - nonrespiratory (7). - Among the 28 cardiovascular neurons eleven showed increased activities during arterial hypercapnia, thirteen showed decreased responses, and four showed no change. Nine respiratory neurons showed increased responses to arterial hypercapnia, six showed decreased responses and one showed no change. neither of the cardiovascular and respiratory neurons showed significant change in its activity during ar- terial hypercapnia, however, four of the noncardiovascular - nonrespiratory neurons exhibited decreased their activities in response to arterial hypercapnia while two exhibited increased activities. Arterial hypercapnia increased the responses of cardiovascular neurons to peripheral nerve stimulation with C-inteniity, while not changing the responses to Ak_stimulation significantly . From the above results it was conclllded that during arterial hypercapnia, some cardiovascular neurons and respiratory neurons have increased activities as well as increased reponses to C-Hber stimulation.

For the effective control of Syphilis, many investigators have developed a more rapid, simple and economical screening serological test which is adequately sensitive and specific. To fulfill the requirements of a more rapid serologic test for syphlis, a substitute for the conventional serum specimen was needed since considerable time and labor are involved in the processing of blood to serum. Burdon suggested the use of plasma in the serologic tests for syphilis as a substitute for serum. He noticed that plasma was more sensitive than serum in the Kline and Kahn tests, and attributed this to the presence of more antibody-like substance, "reagin" in plasma than in serum. However, to make plasma sufficiently sensitive, it was necessary to inactivate plasma by heating at a temperature of $56^{\circ}C$ for about 30 minutes. Heating of plasma resulted in the precipitation of fibrinogen which made centrifugation necessary to obtain dear plasma. Since the chief disadvantage to the use of unheated plasma(or serum) was a reduction in sensitivity of results-which probably was due to a labile factor such as complement-Portnoy et al began to consider rapid chemical methods of inactivation of plasma(or serum). They experienced that choline chloirde was shown to be anticomplementary which suggested its use as an inactivating agent for unheated plasma(or serum). In 1959 Portnoy et al reported the Rapid Plasma Reagin(RPR) Test for syphilis which is a more rapid, economical and simple. But still this test has many disadvantages as a rapid performing, field and office procedure, because it requires the usual laboratory equipments such as centrifuge, rotating machine, microscope etc. To substitute these disadvantages of the RPR test, in 1962, Portnoy et al developed the Rapid Plasma Reagin(RPR) card test for syphilis, which has the following advantages: a) Simplicity and rapidity of performance, b) Requires no laboratory equipments, c) Stable antigen suspension, d) Adequate sensitivity and specificity. This RPR card test can be used as a rapidly performing and screening test in field investigation, outpatient clinics, small laboratories and hospitals doing limited syphilis serology, and predonor in blood bank. Private clinic which has limited laboratory equipment and technic for syphilis serology can also use this RPR card test as a tool in the rapid diagnosis of syphilis. It was thought that this RPR card test is a useful tool in Korea for private physician and mass survey for syphilis diagnosis. But Portnoy patented the reagents needed for the performing the RPR card test. Therefore authors developed newly the reagents and according to Portnoy's method evaluated the newly developed. RPR card test compared with the VDRL, Kolmer CF, and RPCF tests. The RPR card and VDRL tests were performed plasma and serum from the total 1,132 cases. Among these 1,131 cases, 521 were syphilis suspected laboratory specimens, and 611 were syphilis unsuspected healthy young men. After screening with these two tests, the RPR card and VDRL tests, reactive specimens to the above one or both tests were retested by the Kolmer CF and RPCF tests.

Steganography is a technique for secret data communication, which is not perceived by third person between a receiver and a transmitter. It has been developed for thousands of years for the transmission of military, diplomatic or business information. The development of digital media and communication has led to the development of steganography techniques in modern times. Technic of image steganography include the LSB, which fixes the number of embedded bits into a pixel, and PVD, which exploits the difference value in the neighboring pixel pairs. In the case of PVD image steganography, a large amount of information is embedded fluidly by difference value in neighboring pixel pairs and the designed range table. However, since the secret information in order is embedded, if an error of the number of embedded bits occurs in a certain pixel pair, all subsequent information will be destroyed. In this paper, we proposes the method, which improve the vulnerability of PVD property about external attack or various noise and extract secret information. Experimental process is comparison analysis about stego-image, which embedded various noise. PVD shows that it is not possible to preserve secret information at all about noise, but it was possible to robustly extract secret information for partial noise of stego-image in case of the proposed PVD image steganography with locally-fixed number of embedding bits.

We investigated various pharmacological activities that include a potential source of free radical scavenging, anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory activities. Methods : We conducted an investigation of total contents of phenolic and flavonoid compounds in these single herbal extraction with/without combined to mixture. We also measured antioxidant activities such as DPPH free radical scavenging, SOD-like scavenging, nitrite scavenging and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, xanthine oxidase inhibition, linoleic acid peroxidation inhibition, and reducing power. Results : As the results, contents of total phenoilc compounds and flavonoids were higher in those of PF than those of SF. Those of SF+PF mixture showed the synergy effects compared with those of SF and PF single extractions. Activities of DPPH free radical and SOD-like scavenging in 1 mg/mL concentration increased in dose dependent manners. That of SF increased compared with that of PF. That of SF and PF mixture also increased compared with that of BHA as a positive control. The other antioxident activities also showed similar to patten of activity of DPPH free radical scavenging. When combined to SF and PF extractions, there was showed synergic effect compared with those of BHA, excepted activities of xanthine oxidase inhibition and reducing power. Taken together, SF and PF have high phenolic and flavonoid compounds content furthermore, antioxidant activities in SF and PF mixture showed more synergy effect compared with those of BHA. Conclusions : Therefore, these findings suggest that SF and PF mixture may offer functional materials potential for development of functional beverage. But further studies are needed for the identification of the active compounds.

This study analyzed the contents of the 225 papers included in Korea Security Science Association during the decade -from 1997 to 2007. This study was classified the study method qualitative. First, characteristic of researchers(distinction of sex, distinction of academic degree, regional distribution, one's position and regional distribution, participants per paper). Second, study trends classified by fields of study(where receiving research expenses support or not, change of study subject). Third, study trends classified by methods of study(study method by year, study method by study subject, statistical analysis by year) were subdivided. Analysis shows that there are some shortcomings on the research of Korea Security Science Association as compared with other fields. However, it shows advanced trends for example participation in different study field, evenly distributed regional study participation, variety trial of analysis method. Then again, the distinction of sex, one's position, too much emphasis on independence research, vulnerability about support of research expenses, emphasis on study fields and study trends wandering from industrial circles are getting deeper In study methods, generalized research form such as document study and phenomenon technical case study is limited so deduction of kernel result is not thoroughgoing enough as well as it shows the trend that limits to duplicate and generalized proposal technic.

Although Lithium metal battery (LMB) has a very large theoretical capacity, it has a critical problem such as formation of dendrite which causes short circuit and short cycle life of the LMB. In this study, PDMS/GO composite with evenly dispersed graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets in poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was synthesized and coated into a thin film, resulting in the effect that can physically suppress the formation of dendrite. However, PDMS has low ion conductivity, so that we attained improved ion conductivity of PDMS/GO thin film by etching technic using 5wt% hydrofluoric acid (HF), to facilitate the movement of lithium (Li) ions by forming the channel of Li ions. The morphology of the PDMS/GO thin film was observed to confirm using SEM. When the PDMS/GO thin film was utilized to lithium metal battery system, the columbic efficiency was maintained at 87.4% on average until the 100^th cycles. In addition, voltage profiles indicated reduced overpotential in comparison to the electrode without thin film.
