Most digital systems are equipped with dc-dc converters to supply various levels of voltages from batteries to logic devices. DC-DC converters maintain legal voltage ranges regardless of the load current variation as well as battery voltage drop. Although the efficiency of dc-dc converters is changed by the output voltage level and the load current, most existing power management techniques simply ignore the efficiency variation of dc-dc converters. However, without a careful consideration of th

Pentacene organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have demonstrated the highest performance among TFTs with an organic semiconductor channel. High operating voltages (20-100 V), stemming from poor capacitive coupling between gate electrode and channel, are a major limitation, particularly for portable battery-powered device applications. OTFTs fabricated on flexible polymer substrates, often characterized by rough surfaces, benefit from the use of high-K dielectrics given the ability to accommodat

In light of the anti-inflammatory properties of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, such as suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA) and trichostatin A (TSA), we examined a new HDAC inhibitor KBH-A42 for its anti-inflammatory activities. KBH-A42 showed noteworthy anti-inflammatory properties in vitro via suppression of the production of TNF-α, a proinflammatory cytokine, and nitric oxide (NO), a proinflammatory effector molecule, in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells and peritoneal macrophages. It a

This is the first report on the preparation of cardanol-containing methacrylate polymers having antibacterial properties for surface coating applications.

This study was carried out to evaluate the dye decolorizing and detoxifying abilities of Irpex lacteus. The decolorization abilities of 14 strains of I. lacteus were investigated in agar-plates containing 3 synthetic dyes: Congo Red (CR), Orange II (OII), and Reactive Blue 4 (RB4). In an agar plate test, I. lacteus KUC8958 showed the highest dye decolorizing rate with all 3 dyes. Subsequently, we investigated the decolorizing and detoxifying abilities of I. lacteus KUC8958 on synthetic dyes in l

본 연구에서는 소나무와 낙엽송 스킨팀버의 ACQ-2, CUAZ-2, CuHDO-1 가압처리 특성을 평가하기 위해 소나무 변재부와 낙엽송 심재부 시험편을 대상으로 처리용 목재의 함수율이 방부제 처리도에 미치는 영향과 방부제 유효성분인 구리의 처리목재 내 정착 특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면 소나무 변재부는 방부제 종류에 관계없이 함수율 30%부터 사용환경 범주 H3용 처리목재의 침윤도와 흡수량 기준을 모두 만족하였다. 완벽한 방부제 침투가 가능한 소나무 변재부에서 깊이에 따른 방부제 흡수량 경사를 조사한 결과, 방부제 종류에 따른 차이가 관찰되었다. CuHDO-1 처리 시험편에서 발생한 경사가 ACQ-2와 CUAZ-2 처리 시험편에서의 경사보다 심했는데, 특히 고함수율(25, 30%) 시험편에서 경사가 저함수율(15, 20%) 시험편에서보다 심함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 난주입성인 낙엽송 심재부는 처리용 목재의 함수율 조건 및 방부제 종류에 관계없이 처리도 가 매우 불량하였

Abstract Climate change from global warming raises the risk of wood decay. Knowing the inherent durability period of wood is crucial for long-term use. Hence, the natural durability of five important Korean wood species ( Larix kaempferi , Pinus densiflora , Quercus rubra , Quercus variabilis , and Quercus serrata ) was evaluated. In addition, the fungal diversity isolated from each wood stake was investigated to compare and analyze the differences in natural durability. The natural durability o
