Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the effects of Gardenia jasminoides extract (GJ) on osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption in vitro. Methods: To investigate the effect of GJ on osteoclast differentiation, the mouse leukemic myeloid cell line RAW 264.7 was stimulated by RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand). Osteoclast differentiation was measured by counting TRAP (+) MNC in the presence of RANKL. To elucidate the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of GJ on osteoclast differentiation, gene expression of TRAP, Cathepsin K, MMP-9, NFATc1, c-Fos, MITF, DC-STAMP, CTR, OC-STAMP and Atp6v0d2 was measured using reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Bone resorption was measured using the bone pit formation assay. Results: GJ decreased the number of TRAP (+) MNCs in the presence of RANKL. GJ inhibited the expression of cathepsin K, MMP-9, TRAP, MITF, NFATc1, c-Fos, iNON, OC-STAMP, Atp6v0d2, and DC-STAMP in the osteoclast, and inhibited bone pit formation in vitro. Conclusions: The results suggest that GJ has inhibitory effects on bone resorption resulting from inhibition of osteoclast differentiation and gene expression.

지렁이 사육상으로부터 지렁이를 분리, 수확할 수 있는 지렁이 유인장치를 개발하기 위해서 사육상에서의 지렁이 개체군 동태, 유인물질 및 유인틀내 철망의 mesh 크기, 덮개재질 등에 따른 지렁이 유인효율을 조사하였다. 지렁이 사육상에서 줄지렁이의 최고밀도는 약 $5kg/m^2$이었으며 최고밀도 도달한 이후에는 $4.4{\sim}5.0kg/m^2$의 밀도를 유지하였다. 유인틀내 철망의 mesh 크기는 7mm정도가 적정하였으며 유인틀 덮개는 표면은 매끄럽고 수분을 잘 머금을 수 있는 재질이 적당하였다. 유인틀내에 유인제를 사용하는 경우가 사용하지 않는 경우보다 유인효과가 현저히 높았으며, 유인틀내 유인제량이 많을수록, 유인틀 설치 기간이 길어질수록 지렁이 유인량이 많아졌다. 유인제로서는 분쇄된 배껍질이 제지슬러지보다 우수하였는데 이는 유인제내 당도의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 현장에서 사용할 수 있을 만큼 충분한 량의 배껍질을 공급하기가 어려우므로 그 대용으로서 설탕물(10%)을 유인물질로 이용하는 방안이 제시될 수 있었다.

Interface trap densities at gate oxide/silicon substrate ($SiO_2/Si$) interfaces of metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) were determined from the substrate bias dependence of the subthreshold slope measurement. This method enables the characterization of interface traps residing in the energy level between the midgap and that corresponding to the strong inversion of small size MOSFET. In consequence of the high accuracy of this method, the energy dependence of the interface trap density can be accurately determined. The application of this technique to a MOSFET showed good agreement with the result obtained through the high-frequency/quasi-static capacitance-voltage (C-V) technique for a MOS capacitor. Furthermore, the effective substrate dopant concentration obtained through this technique also showed good agreement with the result obtained through the body effect measurement.

In this article, the properties of ${CO_2}^+(CO_2)_n$ clusters in a Paul ion trap have been investigated using mass-selective instability mode which conducted by chosen precursor ions, mainly $Ar^+$ and ${CO_2}^+$ produced by a mixture of Ar and $CO_2$. Exposure of ${CO_2}^+$ ions to $CO_2$ molecules, lead to the formation of ${CO_2}^+(CO_2)_n$ clusters. Here, Ar gas react as a buffer gas and lead to form ${CO_2}^+(CO_2)_n$ cluster by collisional effect.

본 연구는 살충제의 잔효성을 이용하여 집합페로몬 통발트랩에 유인된 톱다리개미허리노린재의 살충효과를 평가하였다. 트랩 내에 방사한 1령, 2령 약충의 트랩 이탈시간을 조사한 결과 접종 후 70분 이내에 100% 탈출률을 보였다. 노린재류에 등록된 6종의 약제를 3종류의 재질[나무(각목), 철(철망), 플라스틱(PVC)]에 처리하여 살충활성을 조사한 결과, bifenthrin, fenitrothion 2종의 약제가 1령, 3령, 5령 및 약충 그리고 성충에서 100% 살충활성을 나타냈다. 2종 약제의 재질에 따른 약제 잔효성은 플라스틱 표면에 처리하였을 때, 5령을 제외한 1, 3령 약충 및 성충에서 15일 이상 100% 살충효과를 나타냈다. 플라스틱 재질의 트랩에 대한 야외실험에서는 2종 약제 모두 1령 약충과 성충에 처리 후 10일 후까지 100%의 살충률을 보였으며, 그 후 살충률이 점차 감소하였다. 본 연구결과를 통하여 집합 페로몬 트랩과 살충제를 이용한 톱다리개미허리노린재의 방제효율을 개선에 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

Upon Debye's dielectric relaxation theory, we tried simple determination method of trap level in organic EL materials. From dielectric measurements in the 20 Hz - 1 MHz frequency range and in the 150 K - 320K temperature range, the depth of traps in Alq$_3$ filled with remaining electrons was determinated. Comparing to other determination techniques like TSL, or TL, the apparatus all we need is just simple LCR meter, thermometer and cooling method(liquid nitrogen). The mean activation energy is about 0.20 eV. It is in good agreement with previous determinations by other techniques like TSL. This results consolidate the validity of Burrow's transport mechanism model. Further intensified experiment with UV light on the dielectric absorption(Photodipolair effect) was nevertheless disturbed by the photoconductivity component.

Effects of post-metallization anneal (PMA) on interface trap characteristics of Si-$SiO_2$ are studied. The conventional PMA method utilizes forming gas anneal, where 10% hydrogen in nitrogen atmosphere is used. A new PMA method utilizes hydrogen rich PECVD- silicon nitride $(SiN_x)$ film as a hydrogen diffusion source and a out-diffusion blocking layer. It can be shown through charge pumping current measurement that the new PMA is indeed effective to decrease Si-$SiO_2$ interface trap density.

Exhaust gas emissions from internal combustion engines are one of the major sources of air pollution. And. it is extremely difficult to increase gasoline engine efficiency and to reduce NOx and PM(particulate matter) simultaneously in diesel combustion. This paper offers some basic concepts to overcome the above problems. To solve the problems, a recommended technique is CAI(controlled auto-ignition) combustion. In this paper. internal EGR(exhaust gas recirculation) effect is suggested to realize CAI combustion. An experimental study was carried out to achieve CAI combustion using homogeneous premixed gas mixture in the constant volume combustion chamber(CVCC). A flame trap was used to simulate internal EGR effect and to increase flame propagation speed in the CVCC. Flame propagation photos and pressure signals were acquired to verify internal EGR effect. Flame trap creates high speed burned gas jet. It achieves higher flame propagation speed due to the effect of geometry and burned gas jet.

Diesel engine has many advantages such as high thermal efficiency, low fuel consumption and low emission of CO2. However, the diesel engine faced with strengthened emission regulation about NOx and PM. To suppress NOx emission, after-treatment systems such as Lean NOx Trap (LNT), Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) are considered as a more practical strategy. This paper investigated the performance of Lean NOx trap of the 4 stroke diesel engine which had a LNT catalyst. Characteristic of exhaust emission at NEDC mode was analyzed. From this result, the effect of nozzle attaching degree, injection quantity and gas flow change on NOx conversion performance was clarified.

In the present work we investigated the effect of regular physical exercise on the activities of erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme, plasma total radical-trapping antioxidant potential(TRAP) and plasma level of lipid peroxidation(malondialdehyde, MDA) in 64 healthy male, aged 34-67 years. The study population were divided in two groups: small amount of exerciser(exercise time less than 10min/d) and moderate amount of exerciser(exercise time more than 20min/d) according to their physical exercise habits measured by a questionnaire. Erythrocyte superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px) and catalase(CAT), plasma TRAP, as well as plasma MDA were determined. Erythrocyte GSH-Px and plasma TRAP were higher in moderate amount of exercisers than those in small amount of exercisers by 17% and 26%, respectively. No significant differences were observed in erythrocyte SOD, CAT and plasma MDA between the two groups. Mean exercise time was positively correlated with the erythrocyte GSH-Px activity and plasma TRAP significantly. The results would sugest that regular moderate exercise enhances antioxidant defences against reactive oxygen species and may increase the likelihood of a healthier life span.
