In this work, PZT thin films were etched as a function of $Cl_2$/Ar and additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_2$(80%)/Ar(20%). The etch rates of PZT films were 1600 $\AA$/min at $Cl_2$(80%)/Ar(20%) gas mixing ratio and 1973 $\AA$/min at 30% additive $CF_4$ into $Cl_2$(80%)/Ar(20%). Therefore the etch rate of PZT in $CF_4/Cl_2/Ar$ plasma is faster than in $Cl_2$/Ar. From XPS and SIMS analysis, metal halides and C-O, FCI and $CClF_2$ were detected. The etching of PZT films in Cl-based plasma is primarily chemically assisted ion etching and the remove of nonvolatile etch byproducts is the dominant step. Consequently, we suggest that the increase of Cl radicals and the volatile oxy-compound such as $CO_y$ are made by adding $CF_4$ into $Cl_2$/Ar plasma. Therefore, the etch rate of PZT in $CF_4/Cl_2/Ar$ plasma is faster than in $Cl_2$/Ar. The etched profile of PZT films was obtained above 70$^{\circ}$ by the SEM micrograph.

This study was conducted to investigate the disinfection effects of chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) on 4 fish pathogenic bacteria (Vibrio anguillarum, Edwardsiella tarda, Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus sp.) isolated from infected olive flounders. The bacteria were exposed to different concentrations of ClO$_2$ (0.129, 0.246 and 0.455 ppm) and response times (0.5, 1, 3, 5 and 10 min), and then were incubated for 12 hr. The effective disinfection concentrations of $ClO_2$ against experimental bacteria by $ClO_2$ for 0.5 min were observed with 0.455 ppm for Staphylococcus sp., 0.246 ppm for V. anguillarum and E. tarda, and 0.129 ppm for Streptococcus sp., respectively. The duration of exposure at low concentration of $ClO_2$ increased for the disinfectant ability to experimental bacteria.

(Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films have attracted groat interest as new dielectric materials of capacitors for ultra-large-scale integrated dynamic random access memories (ULSI-DRAMs) such as 1 Gbit or 4 Gbit. In this study, inductively coupled $BCl_3/Cl_2$/Ar plasmas was used to etch (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films. RF power/dc bias voltage = 600 W/-250 V and chamber pressure was 10 mTorr. The $Cl_2/(Cl_2+Ar)$ was fixed at 0.2, the (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films were etched adding $BCl_3$. The highest (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ etch rate is 480$\AA/min$ at 10 % $BCl_3$ adding to $Cl_2$/Ar. The characteristics of the plasmas were estimated using optical emission spectroscopy (OES). The change of Cl, B radical density measured by OES as a function of $BCl_3$ percentage in $Cl_2$/Ar. The highest Cl radical density was shown at the addition of 10% $BCl_3$ to $Cl_2$/Ar. To study on the surface reaction of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin films was investigated by XPS analysis. Ion enhancement etching is necessary to break Ba-O bond and to remove $BaCl_2$. There is a little chemical reaction between Sr and Cl, but Sr is removed by physical sputtering. There is a chemical reaction between Ti and Cl, and Tic14 is removed with ease. The cross-sectional of (Ba,Sr)$TiO_3$ thin film was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the etch slope is about $65\;{\sim}\;70$.

In this study, to overcome a complicated shoe adhesion process such as buffing, pre-treatment by primer in the rubber component of the shoe, we studied adhesion and mechanical properties with rubber compound added $MgCl_2$. We determined adhesion properties of $MgCl_2$ content. Especially, the rubber containing $MgCl_2$ exhibited good adhesion properties to water-based adhesion. Since $MgCl_2$ is a water-soluble salt, it was judged that this phenomenon occurred. The results are confirmed by contact angle and surface morphology measurement. In addition, in the case of rubber compound added $MgCl_2$, the crosslinking efficiency was increased and the NBS resistance was increased.

The effects on photosynthesis of NaCl(0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 or 1.0 M) were examined in etiolated barley seedlings. Chlorophyll(Chl) a, Chl b and carotenoid contents, Chl a fluorescence and quenching coefficients of Chl fluorescence have been determined in the primary leaves of etiolated barley seedlings cultivated under low light(60 $\mu$㏖ $m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$). Chl a, b, and carotenoid contents were decreased remarkably in comparison with the control at 0.4 M NaCl. However, the value of Fo and Fv were decreased at 0.6 M NaCl and the ratio of Fv/Fm were deceased at 1.0 M NaCl. Chlorophyll synthesis was seriously inhibited from 0.4 M NaCl, and the photosynthetic electron transport system was inhibited from 0.6 M NaCl. Quantum of photosystem II reaction center was inhibited at 1.0 M NaCl. The effects of NaCl on the Chl content were raised in a 6 hrs, but the effects of NaCl on the value of Fo, Fv and Fv/Fm were raised in 30 hrs. The value of qP was decreased in comparison with the control at all concentrations, but there was a small change in the value qE. These results provide evidence that NaCl inhibited effects of various concentration of NaCl were inhibited quinone redox, however, proton gradient between thylakoid membranes was little damaged.

A new etchant formulation was developed in this study to increase the shadow mask production rate, utilizing the $Fe(ClO_4)_3$ as an additive in the aqueous $FeCl_3$ solution. The shadow mask etch rate increased substantially with the increase of $Fe(ClO_4)_3$ concentration in the etchant. The etch rate difference between Ni and Invar steel was also reduced with the addition of $Fe{(ClO_4)_3}$ for most of the operating conditions, which was caused by the enhanced etch rate of both Ni and Fe by the new etchant. The increase in etch rate with the addition of $Fe(ClO_4)_3$ to aqueous ferric chloride solution was attributed to the superior electron transfer capability of $ClO^{4-}$ ion to that of $Cl^-$ ion.

Chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) can be used as an alternative disinfectant for controlling fungal contamination during postharvest storage. In this study, we tested the in vitro and in vivo inhibitory effects of gaseous $ClO_2$ against Diaporthe batatas SP-d1, the causal agent of sweetpotato dry rot. In in vitro tests, spore suspensions of SP-d1 spread on acidified potato dextrose agar were treated with various $ClO_2$ concentrations (1-20 ppm) for 0-60 min. Fungal growth was significantly inhibited at 1 ppm of $ClO_2$ treatment for 30 min, and completely inhibited at 20 ppm. In in vivo tests, spore suspensions were drop-inoculated onto sweetpotato slices, followed by $ClO_2$ treatment with different concentrations and durations. Lesion diameters were not significantly different between the tested $ClO_2$ concentrations; however, lesion diameters significantly decreased upon increasing the exposure time. Similarly, fungal populations decreased at the tested $ClO_2$ concentrations over time. However, the sliced tissue itself hardened after 60-min $ClO_2$ treatments, especially at 20 ppm of $ClO_2$. When sweetpotato roots were dip-inoculated in spore suspensions for 10 min prior to treatment with 20 and 40 ppm of $ClO_2$ for 0-60 min, fungal populations decreased with increasing $ClO_2$ concentrations. Taken together, these results showed that gaseous $ClO_2$ could significantly inhibit D. batatas growth and dry rot development in sweetpotato. Overall, gaseous $ClO_2$ could be used to control this fungal disease during the postharvest storage of sweetpotato.

The aim of this study was to examined the dermatoxicity of ferrous chloride (FeCl2) and the antioxidative effect of Stachys japonica Miq (SJ) extract on FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity. For this study, superoxide anion-radical (SAR)-scavenging and superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like abilities with cell viability were done. FeCl2 showed a significant decrease of cell viability in dose-dependent manner, and it was mid-toxic. The caffeic acid showed a significant increase of cell viability against FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity. In the protective effect of SJ extract on FeCl2-induced cytotoxicity, it showed SAR-scavenging and SOD-like abilities with a significant increase of cell viability. From these results, the cytotoxicity of FeCl2 is correlated with oxidative stress, and SJ extract effectively protected the cytotoxicity of FeCl2 by antioxidative effect. Conclusively, the natural resources like SJ extract may be a useful fundamental materials for the development of an alternative antioxidant.

A prompt gamma-ray neutron activation (PGNA) system was simulated by the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code (MCNP-4A) to estimate the level at which the scattered photon fluence rate, the absolute efficiency of the HPGe-detector, the volume of the concrete sample and the $^{35}$ /Cl(n, ${\gamma}$) reaction rate in this sample contribute to the count rate in the NaCl concentration measurement. The n- ${\gamma}$ fluence rates at the ST-2 beam tube exit of the HANARO reactor were used as input data, and the GAMMA-X type HPGe detector was modeled to tally 1.1649 MeV ${\gamma}$ -rays emitted from the $^{35}$ Cl(n, ${\gamma}$) reaction in the concrete sample. For three cylindrical concrete samples of 13.8, 46.8 and 157.1 ㎤ volumes, respectively, the relations between the NaCl weight fractions of 0.1, 1, 2 and 5 % in each of the concrete samples and the 1.1 649 MeV pulses created in the HPGe detector model were studied. As a result, it was found that the count rate at the same NaCl concentration nearly depends on the volume of the samples in a simulated condition of the same NaCl concentration samples, and that the linearities of the NaCl concentration calibration curves were reasonable in the narrow range of the NaCl weight fraction.

A comprehensive experimental and numerical study has been conducted to understand the influence of $CH_{3}Cl$ addition on $CH_{4}/O_{2}/N_{2}$ premixed flames under the oxygen enrichment. The laminar flame speeds of $CH_{4}/CH_{3}Cl/O_{2}/N_{2}$ premixed flames at room temperature and atmospheric pressure are experimentally measured using Bunsen nozzle flame technique, varying the amount of $CH_{3}Cl$ in the fuel, the equivalence ratio of the unburned mixture, and the level of the oxygen enrichment. The flame speeds predicted by a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism employed are found to be in excellent agreement with those deduced from experiments. As $CH_{3}Cl$ addition is increased temperature at the postflame is not almost varied but the heat release rate and $EI_{NO}$ are decreased. The function of $CH_{3}Cl$ as inhibitor on hydrocarbon flames becomes weakened as the level of the oxygen enrichment is increased from 0.21 to 0.5.
