Abstract: An operating method is disclosed for a dehydrogenation reaction system. The method includes providing a system having: an acid aqueous solution tank including an acid aqueous solution; a dehydrogenation reactor including a chemical hydride of a solid state and receiving an acid aqueous solution from the acid aqueous solution tank to react the chemical hydride with the acid aqueous solution to generate hydrogen; and a fuel cell stack receiving hydrogen generated from the dehydrogenation reactor to be reacted with oxygen to generate water and simultaneously to generate electrical energy. The method also includes recycling the water generated from the fuel cell stack to one or all of the acid aqueous solution tank, the dehydrogenation reactor, and a separate water tank. The acid is formic acid and, in in the dehydrogenation reactor, the temperature is in a range of 10° C. to 400° C. and the pressure is in a range of 1 bar to 100 bar.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preventing or treating liver cancer in a subject comprising administrating at least one selected from the group consisting of an Ssu72 peptide, a polynucleotide encoding the Ssu72 peptide and an expression vector containing the polynucleotide to the subject.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an OPCPA apparatus. The OPCPA of the present invention includes an optical pulse stretcher (100) for outputting chirped laser light using odd-order dispersion (third-order dispersion is mainly used). A pump laser (200) outputs pump laser light. An OPA unit (300) receives the pump laser light and the chirped laser light (signal), amplifies the signal using the pump laser light, and generates an idler. An optical signal separation unit (400) separates output light of the OPA unit into the signal, the idler, and remaining light (pump). An optical pulse compressor (600) compensates for pulse chirping caused by odd-order dispersion that is imparted by the optical pulse stretcher, thus temporally compressing the signal and the idler, which overlap each other.

Abstract: An OPCPA apparatus of the present invention includes an optical pulse stretcher (100) for temporally stretching laser light, and applying short-wavelength preceding-type chirping. Pump lasers (210, 220) emit pump laser light. A first OPA unit (310) receives the pump laser light, and a signal having passed through the optical pulse stretcher, amplifies the signal, and generates a first idler. A first optical signal separation unit (410) separates output light of the first OPA unit into the first idler and remaining light (pump and signal). A second OPA unit (320) receives the first idler and another pump laser light, amplifies the first idler, and generates a second idler. A second optical signal separation unit (420) separates output light of the second optical parametric amplification unit into an amplified first idler and remaining light (pump and second idler). An optical pulse compressor (600) temporally compresses the amplified first idler.
