Hybridization of semiconductor materials with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is a recent field of interest in which new nanodevice fabrication and applications are expected. In this work, nanowire type GaAs structures are synthesized on porous single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) as templates using the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique. The field emission properties of the as-synthesized products were investigated to suggest their potential applications as cold electron sources, as well. The SWCNT template was synthesized by the arc-discharge method. SWCNT samples were heat-treated at 400˚C under an N2/O2 atmosphere to remove amorphous carbon. After heat treatment, GaAs was grown on the SWCNT template. The growth conditions of the GaAs in the MBE system were set by changing the growth temperatures from 400˚C to 600˚C. The morphology of the GaAs synthesized on the SWCNTs strongly depends on the substrate temperature. Namely, nano-crystalline beads of GaAs are formed on the CNTs under 500˚C, while nanowire structures begin to form on the beads above 600˚C. The crystal qualities of GaAs and SWCNT were examined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectra. The field emission properties of the synthesized GaAs nanowires were also investigated and a low turn-on field of 2.0 V/μm was achieved. But, the turn-on field was increased in the second and third measurements. It is thought that arsenic atoms were evaporated during the measurement of the field emission.

PDT is an established cancer treatment modality. This can be attributed to the attractive basic concept of PDT; Combination of two therapeutic agents, a photosensitizing drug and light, which are relatively harmless by themselves but when combined, cause more or less selective tumor destruction. Hematoporphyrin-derived photosensitizers are known to be stable and highly efficient. In this study, we conducted a series of experiments to develop light-induced anticancer drugs against oral cancer cells. We tested the cytotoxicity of photodin by MTT assay and observed cell death pattern (apoptosis or necrosis) by hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide staining methods after PDT. IC50 value of photodin was 0.65 ug/ml. At higher doses of photodin ( > 7.8 ug/ml), cancer cells died exclusively from necrosis after PDT. By contrast, at IC50 value, photodin induced cancer cell to undergo apoptotic cell death. The induction begins approximately 6 hours after PDT. We investigated intracellular localization of photodin by oral cancer cell via confocal laser scanning microscopy. Oral cancer cells dual-stained with photodin and organelle-specific fluorescence probes (Mitotracker, Lysotracker, ER-Tracker) revealed that an intracellular fluorescence distribution was restricted to cytoplasmic compartments with no detectable fluorescence in the nucleus. Confocal images of cells containing photodin were overlapped with the mitochondria-specific fluorescence probe images of the same cells. These results demonstrated that photodin may play the role of a photosensitizer for oral squamous cancer cells without swelling and inflammation. Therefore, photodin-based PDT is a suitable treatment for oral cavity carcinoma patients.

The purpose of this research was to investigate whether the perception of KPIs by restaurant managers from financial and non-financial perspectives was affected by BSC implementation. The perceptions that were examined were importance, adoption, performance, and utilization of KPIs. We surveyed managers from multinational restaurant chains that were adopting BSC and those that were not. From a non-financial perspective, the difference in perceived importance between BSC adopted firms and firms that did not adopt BSC was significant. The managers of BSC adopted firms perceived KPIs more seriously than the others. Secondly, according to the managers' working experiences, the difference of perceived utilization in the internal business process perspective was significant between BSC adopted firms and firms that did not adopt BSC. In addition, from the learning and growth perspective, the difference in perceived adoption and utilization between the two groups was significant. Finally, in the BSC adopted firms, the perceived importance of the managers affected the other perceptions like adoption and utilization from both the financial and non-financial perspectives.

Polysulfone막의 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 막에 브롬화 시킨 후 막의 구조 및 기체투과 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 막의 특성은 FT-IR, 1H-NMR, TGA, Contact angle 등을 사용하여 조사하였고, 브롬화된 막의 기체투과 특성을 알아보기 위해 He, N2, CO2, O2를 사용하였다. 브롬화된 Polysulfane막의 기체투과결과 브롬의 양이 증가할수록 투과도는 감소하고 투과 선택도는 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 그 중 질소는 불소화에 따라서 가장 큰 영향을 받아 투과도가 최고 36%까지 낮아지는 결과를 나타내었으며, 이산화탄소에 대한 질소의 투과선택도는 15% 이상의 매우 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

DNA 결합 단백질 억제(Inhibitor of DNA binding protein) 또는 분화억제(Inhibitor of differentiation) 인자인 Id는 네 종류(Id1-4)가 있으며, 세포의 증식과 분화, 혈관 형성 및 세포자가사멸 등에 정 또는 부의 조절인자로서 널리 알려져 있다. 하지만 아직까지 번식생리 분야에서 이들 유전자들의 발현이나 기능에 관해 알려진 것은 거의 없다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 쥐 난소에서 난포의 발달에 따른 Id3 mRNA의 발현 양상을 살펴보고자 실시하였다. 쥐에게 PMSG 주사 후, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36 및 48시간째에 난소를 회수하여 고정, 탈수 및 파라핀 포매를 실시하였다. In situ hybridization 실험을 위하여 anti-sense와 sense Id3 cRNA 탐침자를 제작한 다음 난소 절편에 반응시켰다. 반응이 끝난 난소 절편은 NTB-2 유광제에 노출시킨 후 현상액에 반응시켰다. 모든 처리가 끝난 슬라이드는 H&E 염색을 실시한 다음 현미경하에서 hybridization 감도를 1+에서 4+로 구분하여 평가하였다. 난자에서는 Id3 mRNA 감도가 원시와 제1차 난포에서 ≥2+으로 확인되었으나, 제2차, 우성 및 배란전 난포에서는 1+ 이하로 관찰되었다. 한편, 과립막세포에서는 우성과 배란 전 난포에서 Id3 mRNA가 3+ 또는 4+로 강하게 발현되는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면, Id3 mRNA는 난포의 발단 단계 또는 난포세포에 따라 특이적으로 발현하는 것으로 보아 난포의 발달과 밀접한 연관이 있을 것으로 사료된다.
