Yi, S.,Um, S.,Lee, J.,Yoo, J.,Bang, S.,Park, E.,Lee, M.,Nam, K.,Jeon, Y.,Park, J.,You, J.,Lee, S.J.,Bae, G.U.,Rhie, J.,Kozma, Sara C.,Thomas, G.,Han, J.W. Cell Press 2016 Molecular Cell Vol.62 No.3

S6K1 has been implicated in a number of key metabolic responses, which contribute to obesity. Critical among these is the control of a transcriptional program required for the commitment of mesenchymal stem cells to the adipocytic lineage. However, in contrast to its role in the cytosol, the functions and targets of nuclear S6K1 are unknown. Here, we show that adipogenic stimuli trigger nuclear translocation of S6K1, leading to H2BS36 phosphorylation and recruitment of EZH2 to H3, which mediates H3K27 trimethylation. This blocks Wnt gene expression, inducing the upregulation of PPARγ and Cebpa and driving increased adipogenesis. Consistent with this finding, white adipose tissue from S6K1-deficient mice exhibits no detectable H2BS36 phosphorylation or H3K27 trimethylation, whereas both responses are highly elevated in obese humans or in mice fed a high-fat diet. These findings define an S6K1-dependent mechanism in early adipogenesis, contributing to the promotion of obesity.

Pure Sb<SUB>2</SUB>S<SUB>3</SUB> without oxide impurities was formed by thermal decomposition of Sb(thioacetamide: TA)<SUB>2</SUB>Cl<SUB>3</SUB> precursor. From the analysis of thermal properties of Sb(TA)<SUB>2</SUB>Cl<SUB>3</SUB>, we developed a spin-coating and heat-treatment process to form pure Sb<SUB>2</SUB>S<SUB>3</SUB> thin-films with controllable thickness due to the formation of insoluble Sb<SUB>2</SUB>S<SUB>3</SUB> by heat-treatment. Through the spin-coating and heat-treatment process, we could fabricate oxide-free Sb<SUB>2</SUB>S<SUB>3</SUB> planar type sensitized solar cell with 8.12mA/cm<SUP>2</SUP> of short circuit current density (J<SUB>sc</SUB>), 0.616V of open circuit voltage (V<SUB>oc</SUB>), 45.9% of fill factor (F.F), and overall power conversion efficiency (η) of 2.3% at 1 sun condition.

Chemical bath deposition 방법으로 다결정 CdSe 박막을 세라믹 기판 위에 성장시킨 다음 온도를 변화시켜 열처리하고 X-선 회절무늬를 측정하여 결정구조를 밝혔다. 450℃로 열처리한 시료가 X-선 회절무늬로 부터 외삽법에 의해 a_o와 c_o 는 각각 4.302 Å과 7.014 Å인 육방정계임을 알았다. 이 때 낱알크기는 약 0.3㎛이었다. Van der Pauw 방법으로 Hall 효과를 측정하여 운반자 농도와 이동도의 온도의존성을 연구하였다. 이동도는 33 K 에서 200 K 까지는 압전산란에 의하여, 200 k 에서 293 K 까지는 극성광학산란에 의하여 감소하는 경향이 나타냈다. 광전도 셀의 특성으로 스텍트럼 응답, 감도(γ), 최대허용소비전력 및 응답 시간을 측정하였다. Polycrystalline CdSe thin films were grown on creamic substrate using a chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. They were annealed at various temperature and X-ray diffraction patterns were measured by X-ray diffractometer in order to study CdSe polycrystal structure. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the CdSe samples annealed in N_2 gas at 450℃ it was found hexagonal structure whose lattice parameters a_o and c_o were 4.302 Å and 7.014 Å, respectively. It grain size was about 0.3 ㎛. Hall effect on this sample was measured by Van der Pauw method and studied on carrier density and mobility depending on temperature. From Hall data, the mobility was likely to be decreased by piezo electric scattering at temperature range of 33 K and 200 K, and by polar optical potical scattering at temperature range of 200 K and 293 K. We measured also spectral response, sensitivily (γ), maximum allowable power dissipation and response time on these samples.

DROWSY BEHAVIOR DETECTION BASED ON DRIVING INFORMATION

M. S. WANG,N. T. JEONG,K. S. KIM,S. B. CHOI,S. M. YANG,S. H. YOU,J. H. LEE,서명원 한국자동차공학회 2016 International journal of automotive technology Vol.17 No.1

Drowsy behavior is more likely to occur in sleep-deprived drivers. Individuals’ drowsy behavior detection technology should be developed to prevent drowsiness related crashes. Driving information such as acceleration, steering angle and velocity, and physiological signals of drivers such as electroencephalogram (EEG), and eye tracking are adopted in present drowsy behavior detection technologies. However, it is difficult to measure physiological signal, and eye tracking requires complex experiment equipment. As a result, driving information is adopted for drowsy driving detection. In order to achieve this purpose, driving experiment is performed for obtaining driving information through driving simulator. Moreover, this paper investigates effects of using different input parameter combinations, which is consisted of lateral acceleration, longitudinal acceleration, and steering angles with different time window sizes (i.e. 4 s, 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 60 s), on drowsy driving detection using random forest algorithm. 20 s-size datasets using parameter combination of accelerations in lateral and longitudinal directions, compared to the other combination cases of driving information such as steering angles combined with lateral and longitudinal acceleration, steering angles only, longitudinal acceleration only, and lateral acceleration only, is considered the most effective information for drivers’ drowsy behavior detection. Moreover, comparing to ANN algorithm, RF algorithm performs better on processing complex input data for drowsy behavior detection. The results, which reveal high accuracy 84.8 % on drowsy driving behavior detection, can be applied on condition of operating real vehicles.

Triarylamine-based dual-function coadsorbents with extended π-conjugation aryl linkers for organic dye-sensitized solar cells

Choi, I.T.,You, B.S.,Eom, Y.K.,Ju, M.J.,Choi, W.S.,Kang, S.H.,Kang, M.S.,Seo, K.D.,Hong, J.Y.,Song, S.H.,Yang, J.W.,Kim, H.K. Elsevier Science 2014 ORGANIC ELECTRONICS Vol.15 No.11

Triarylamine-based dual-function coadsorbents containing a carboxylic acid acceptor linked by extended π-conjugation aryl linkers (e.g., phenylene: HC-A3, naphthalene: HC-A4 and anthracene: HC-A5) were newly designed and synthesized. They were used as coadsorbents in organic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on a porphyrin dye (hexyloxy-biphenyl-ZnP-CN-COOH (HOP)). For comparison, the π-conjugated phenyl linker (HC-A3) previously developed by our group was also used as a coadsorbent. The structural effects on the photophysical and electrochemical properties and DSSC performance were systematically investigated. As a result, the DSSCs based on HC-A4 and HC-5 displayed power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 8.2% and 5.1%, respectively, while the HC-A3-based DSSC achieved a PCE of 7.7%. In the case of HC-A4, both the short-circuit photocurrent densities (J<SUB>sc</SUB>) and open-circuit voltages (V<SUB>oc</SUB>) of DSSCs were simultaneously improved to a large extent due to the more effective prevention of π-π stacking of organic dye molecules and the better light-harvesting effect at short wavelengths. The HC-A5-based DSSC exhibited a much lower short-circuit current (J<SUB>sc</SUB>) and open-circuit voltages (V<SUB>oc</SUB>) compared to the HC-A4-based DSSC, due to the fact that the dihedral angle of the π-conjugated linkers was too high for electron injection into the TiO<SUB>2</SUB> conduction band (CB) level. This had a reduced effect on preventing the π-π stacking of dye molecules, resulting in lower J<SUB>sc</SUB> and V<SUB>oc</SUB> values.

Segmented polyurethanes with perfluoropolyether(PFPE) and poly(ethylene oxide) blocks were synthesized by reacting a fluorinated macrodiol and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in different ratios with methylenebis(phyenyleneisocyanate) (MDI) in the presence of a solvent. Themal and ionic conductivities were studied as s function of fluorine content of Polyurethanes. The chemical structures were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, NMR spectroscopies, and thermal and mechanical properties of FPU investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis. The surface properties were analyzed by using contct angle meter. The ionic conductivity of FPU-LiCF_3SO_3 complexs were investigated through changes in the polymer composition. The relative molar ration of PFPE and PEG in the polymer played an important role in the conductivity and thermal properties.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the osteoporosis knowledge, self-efficacy, and preventive health promoting behaviors of the elderly who reside in urban and rural areas. Methods: Convenience sampling was used (urban elderly=127, rural elderly=112). The Osteoporosis Quiz, Osteoporosis Self-Efficacy scale, and Health Promotion Inventory for the Prevention of Osteoporosis were used to collect data. Data were analyzed using chi-square, t-tests, two-way ANOVAs, and multiple linear regression. Results: Elders residing in rural areas had significantly less knowledge of osteoporosis (t=-4.884, p<.001), self-efficacy (t=-6.153, p<.001), and preventive health-promoting behaviors (t=-5.710, p<.001). Multiple-regression analysis showed osteoporosis self-efficacy (p=.002) and chronic disease (p=.027) were significant predictors of preventive health-promoting behaviors for elders in urban areas. In rural areas, osteoporosis knowledge (p=.002), osteoporosis self-efficacy (p<.001), and regular medical examinations (p=.014) were significant predictors of preventive health-promoting behaviors. Conclusion: Promoting osteoporosis knowledge and self-efficacy may be significant in improving preventive health-promoting behaviors. Also, nursing interventions suitable for rural elders should be developed to increase their level of preventive health-promoting behaviors.
