The present invention relates to asymmetric liposomes for high encapsulation efficiency of nucleic acids and hydrophilic anionic compounds, and to a method for preparing same, and specifically, to asymmetric liposomes consisting of a cationic lipid having a small head group as an internal lipid and a neutral or PEGylated lipid having a big head group as an external lipid, wherein nucleic acids and/or anionic compounds are encapsulated in the internal lipid. According to the present invention, asymmetric liposomes, in which nucleic acids and hydrophilic anionic compounds are encapsulated with high efficiency, may be prepared, and thus the same may be used for various purposes, such as gene therapy, and the delivery of hydrophilic anionic drugs which are difficult to prepare as prodrugs, and drug delivery, imaging, etc. can be carried out by encapsulating a fluorescent contrast agent in the liposome.

A secondary particle and a lithium battery including the same are provided wherein the secondary particle includes a plurality of primary particles and each primary particle contains n polycyclic nano-sheets disposed upon one another. The polycyclic nano-sheets include hexagonal rings of six carbon atoms linked to each other, wherein a first carbon and a second carbon have a distance therebetween of L1. L2 is a distance between a third carbon and a fourth carbon, and the arrangement of the polycyclic nano-sheets is such that L1≧L2. The secondary particle is used as a negative active material in the lithium battery, and the secondary particle contains pores, thereby allowing for effective intercalating and deintercalating of the lithium ions into the secondary particle to impart improved capacity and cycle lifespan.

Methods and systems are provided for concentrating particles (e.g., bacteria, viruses, cells, and nucleic acids) suspended in a liquid. Electric-field-induced forces urge the particles towards a first electrode immersed in the liquid. When the particles are in close proximity to (e.g., in contact with) the first electrode, the electrode is withdrawn from the liquid and capillary forces formed between the withdrawing electrode and the surface of the liquid immobilize the particles on the electrode. Upon withdrawal of the electrode from the liquid, the portion of the electrode previously immersed in the liquid has particles immobilized on its surface.

The present invention relates to an oil fence and to a method for storing same. The oil fence includes: a vertical support part on which an air chamber, a water chamber, and a ballast are successively disposed in the lengthwise direction thereof; a curtain part connected between the vertical support parts disposed parallel to and spaced a predetermined distance from each other in the widthwise direction thereof; and attenuation bags disposed on the upper and lower portions of the curtain part. Thus, the oil fence may prevent seawater containing oil from overflowing in spite of high waves. Also, the oil fence may stably float on the sea in spite of poor weather conditions and high waves and may be easily stored and unfolded.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing an protein monolayer using a peptide hybrid for protein immobilization, more precisely a peptide hybrid for protein immobilization which has improved solubility by introducing a PEG linker and a proper reaction group to the oligopeptide having specific affinity to selected types of proteins and is designed to provide enough space between solid substrates and proteins immobilized, whereby various solid substrates treated by the hybrid catch specific proteins effectively on. The peptide hybrid for protein immobilization of the present invention facilitates the control of orientation of an antibody on various solid surfaces and immobilization of various antibodies of different origins or having different isotypes with different affinity. Therefore, the surface treatment technique using the peptide hybrid of the invention can be effectively used for the production of various immunosensors and immune chips.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing uniform size polymeric nanoparticles containing poorly soluble drugs, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing uniform size polymeric nanoparticles containing poorly soluble drugs, including a first step of dissolving a biodegradable polymer in a non-volatile polar organic solvent, a second step of adding poorly soluble drugs to water and the biodegradable polymer solution to produce a dispersion, and a third step of adding the dispersion to emulsifier solutions in a batch under the condition of low mechanical energy level stirring. The polymeric nanoparticles of the present invention is capable of manufacturing nano-sized small and uniform polymeric nanoparticles through a simple method of employing a non-volatile polar solvent, especially a solvent having a polarity similar to that of water, as a solvent for a mixture solution of biodegradable polymer and poorly soluble materials, and using a low mechanical energy condition and batch-adding of dispersion in an emulsifying process. The polymeric nanoparticles of the present invention are advantageous in that the dissolution rate of the poorly soluble drugs contained in polymeric particles is dramatically improved, and the poorly soluble drugs are gradually and steadily released and maintained at a constant density over a long period of time.
