Percutaneous absorption and model membrane variations of melationin (MT) in aqueous-based propylene glycol and $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin $vehicles were investigatted. the excised hairless mouse skin (HMS) and two synthetic ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and microporous polyethylene (MPE) were selected as a model membrane. the solubility of MT was determined by phase equilibrium study. the vertical $Franz{\circledR}$ type cell was used for diffusion study. The concentration of MT was determined using reverse phse HPLC system. The MT solubility was the highest in a mixture of PG and $2-HP{\beta}CD$. The percutaneous absorption of MT through excised HMS increased as the solubility increased. However, the permeability coefficient decreased and then slightly increased in mixture of PG and $2-HP{\beta}CD$. On the other hand, both flux and permeability coefficient through EVA membrane decreased as the solubility increased. No MT was detected over 12 h after starting diffusion through MPE membrane. The flux of MT was dependent on the type of membrane selected. Flux of MT was greatest in excised HMS followed by EBA and MPE membrane. Flux of MT through EVA membrane was 5-20 times lower when compared to excised HMS. Interestingly, volumes of donor phase when MPE membrane was used, significantly increased during the study period. the HMS might be applicable to expect plasma concentration of MT in human subjects based on flux and pharmacokinetic parameters as studied previously. the current studies may be applied to deliver MT transdermally using aqueous-based vehicles and to fabricate MT dosage forms.

Monoolein-based cubic liquid crystalline systems were formulated for the local delivery of oregonin and hirsutanonol for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. The liquid crystalline phase and its nanodispersion containing drugs were prepared. The skin permeation and deposition properties of the drugs were examined in normal and delipidized rat skin. The proportion of oregonin (%) deposited in normal skin after topical administration of the drugs in the form of aqueous solution, cubic phase or cubic nanodispersions were $1.53\;{\pm}\;0.46$, $3.62\;{\pm}\;0.17$ and $5.13\;{\pm}\;0.73$, and those of hirsutanonol were $2.46\;{\pm}\;0.02$, $5.44\;{\pm}\;0.27$ and $17.28\;{\pm}\;2.19$, respectively. The greater lipophilicity and thus greater skin affinity of hirsutanonol than oregonin contributed the greater amount of skin deposition. The monoolein-based liquid crystalline phases significantly increased the amount of both drugs permeated and deposited. Approximately 3.2, 2.1 and 3.0 times greater amount of oregonin, and 3.4, 2.1 and 2.2 times greater amount of hirsutanonol were deposited in delipidized skin after administration of each drug in the form of aqueous solution, cubic phase and cubic nanodispersions system, respectively, because of lowered barrier function of the delipidized skin. In this study, the effects of drug property, vehicles type and skin condition on skin deposition and permeation properties of drug were examined and concluded that monoolein-based liquid crystalline systems would be a promising formulation for the local delivery of drugs.

Over the past two decades, the electrochemical supercapaictors are receiving growing attention due to their possible applications as power backup in electronic equipment and electrical vehicles. Both of amorphous cobalt oxide and manganese dioxide were prepared by sol-gel process reported in our previous work. Nano-structured supramolecular oligomer of 1,5-diamino anthraquinone(DAAQ) coated metal oxides were successfully prepared by electrochemical oxidation from an acidic non-aqueous medium. We established process parameters of the technique for the formation of nano-structured materials. Furthermore, improved the capacitive properties of the nano structured metal oxide electrodes using controlled solution chemistry. $CoO_2$ and $MnO_2$-based composite electrode showed relatively good electrochemical behaviors in acidic electrolyte system with respect to specific capacity and scan rate dependency

For the successful cold starting of a fuel cell engine, either internal of external heat supply must be made to overcome the formation of ice from water below the freezing point of water. In the present study, switchable vanadium oxide compounds as variable temperature-electrical resistance materials onto the surface of flat metallic bipolar plates have been prepared by a dip-coating technique via an aqueous sol-gel method. Subsequently, the chemical composition and micro-structure of the polycrystalline solid thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. In addition, it was carefully measured electrical resistance hysteresis loop over a temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ using the four-point probe method. The experimental results revealed that the thin films was mainly composed of Karelianite $V_2O_3$ which acts as negative temperature coefficient materials. Also, it was found that thermal dissipation rate of the vanadium oxide thin films partially satisfy about 50% saving of the substantial amount of energy required for ice melting at $-20^{\circ}C$. Moreover, electrical resistances of the vanadium-based materials converge on an extremely small value similar to that of pure flat metallic bipolar plates at higher temperature, i.e. $T{\geq}40^{\circ}C$. As a consequence, experimental studies proved that it is possible to apply the variable temperature-electrical resistance material based on vanadium oxides for the cold starting enhancement of a fuel cell vehicle and minimize parasitic power loss and eliminate any necessity for external equipment for heat supply in freezing conditions.

미세포류는 다양한 서식환경, 분류군, 종조성 등의 특징을 갖는 미생물군이며 , 이들은 각종 유용물질을 생산하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 따라서 지금까지 유용물질 생산을 위하여 집중적으로 연구되었던 세균, 곰팡이 등과 함께 미래의 유용한 물질생산의 보고로 간주되고 있다. 미세조류 배양의 가장 큰 장점은 대부분의 작물생산에 적합하지 않는 높은 염도, 강한 알카리 등의 극한 환경에서도 성장하는 조류가 있다는 점이다. 최근 유용 미생물 탐색, 미생물 배양, 유용물질 탐색기술 등의 기반 기술이 크게 발달하면서 미세조류 배양 및 물질생산 비용은 점차 저렴해지고 있다. 또한 최근 급격히 발달된 생명공학기술을 이용한 유전공학적 조류주 개량 등으로 유용물질 생산 효율도 크게 증가시킬 수 있게 되었다. 한편 전 세계적으로 지구환경문제가 중요 쟁점으로 등장하였으며, 동시에 생물다양성협약 등 생물자원의 보존 및 확보가 무엇보다도 중요한 시점이라 할 수 있다. 미세조류의 대량배양 시 배지로서 축산폐수를 이용한다면 유용물질의 생산과 동시에 폐수의 고차처리, 대기 중 이산화탄소의 고정화 등 당면한 환경문제를 해결할 수 있는 환경친화적 기술로 평가되고 있다. 따라서 미세조류의 대량배양을 통하여 biomass로부터 건강보조식품, 천연색소, 의약용 물질 등의 고부가 유용물질을 생산하여 경제적 가치를 창출할 수 있다. 또한 미세조류의 대량배양은 부수적으로 생물학적 이산화탄소 고정화를 통한 대기 중 농도감소 등의 지구환경문제의 해결에도 기여할 수 있다. 즉, microalgal biotechnolog는 생물산업의 활성화와 함께 횐경산업의 발전을 도모할 수 있는 유망한 미래 산업으로서 앞으로 큰 발전이 기대된다. 수 있음을 보인다.옥천비변성대의 고생대 지층에서도 보고된 바 있기 때문에 옥천대에 광역적으로 일어난 것으로 생각된다.didn′t have purchase intention of apparel on Internet shopping malls were summarized and labeled as: difficulty of decision making due to virtual shopping environment, insufficiency of diverse apparels, users′ unease handling, risk of incredible apparel quality, unfamiliarity of Internet shopping and risks of unsecurity.
