DME(Dimethyl ether) Dimethyl Ether (DME) is a new clean fuel and an environmental-benign energy resource. In comparison with other fuels, DME rapidly decomposes into carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water in the atmosphere without forming ozone. It can be manufactured from various energy sources including natural gas, coal, biomass and spent plastics. In addition to its environmentally friendly properties, DME is considered as one of the most promising candidates for the substitute of LPG and diesel fuel. In this work, we will be studied to find optimized condition for the catalyst of DME energy manufacture from hydrogen and carbon oxide and its chemical and physical characteristics.

PIT method which is used at fabricating Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire includes a drawing process, conventional deformation method. Drawing of meta1(Ag) and ceramic (BiSrCaCuO) composite is also difficult and significant for uniform deformation. In this paper, parameters of uniform deformation was studied at Bi-2223/ Ag multifilamentary HTS wire. Powder and rod as a starting precursor was compared at 55 filament and 54 filament Bi-2223/Ag HTS wire, respectively. Micro-hardness and area COV of the filaments was also evaluated when the diameters were decreased through drawing operations.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of various deformation ratio on texture of Ag tapes that can be used as a RE-$Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$ coated conductor tapes without any buffer layer. We fabricated as-rolled Ag substrate with various deformation ratio per step. Thickness and total deformation ratio of Ag tapes were $100{\mu}m$ and >98%, respectively. And as-rolled Ag substrate was annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ for 30min. The as-rolled and recrystallization textures were measured using x-ray pole figures and orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis. With the increase of rolling ratio from 5 to 20%, deformation texture are changed from {1l0}<311> to {1l0}<112>, {032}<100>, {051}<211>. After recrystallization by annealing, main texture was observed to {013}<100> under present condition.

Contact type Ic measurement system is needed to measure Ic continuously for long Bi-2223 tapes. Voltage and current terminals were designed several shapes for 4-probe method Ic measurement. Voltage terminals were made with brass and current terminals were made with Cu. We used 2 kinds of Bi-2223 tapes with different strength. When we measured Ic of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mg sheath, The proper weight was 0.3 kg and sharp pin type was better. according to voltage terminal shape and load. In case of Bi-2223 tape with Ag-Mn sheath, the proper terminal weight was 4 kg and sharp pin type was bad. It was possible to make continuous contact type Ic measurement system because We could get proper data - terminal shapes and loads - through these experiments.

We have studied conduction mechanism that is interpreted in terms of space charge limited current (SCLC) region and tunneling region. The OLEDs are based on the molecular compounds, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD) as a hole transport, tris (8- hydroxyquinolinoline) aluminum(III) $(Alq_3)$ as an electron injection and transport and emitting later, copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinylcarbazole) (PVK) as a buffer layer respectively. Al was used as cathode. We manufactured reference structure that has in ITO/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al. Buffer layer effects were compared to reference structure. And we have analyzed out luminance efficiency-voltage characteristics in ITO/Buffer layer/TPD/$Alq_3$/Al with buffer-layer materials.

In this paper, novel carbon nanotube (CNT)-filled Solderable electrically conductive adhesive (ECA) and joining process have been developed. To investigate the bonding characteristics of CNT-filled Solderable ECA, three types of Solderable ECAs with different CNT weight percent (0, 0.1, 1wt%) were formulated. For a joining process, the quad flat package (QFP) chip was used. The QFP chip had a size of $14{\times}14{\times}2.7$ mm and a 1 mm lead pitch. The test board had a Cu daisy-chained pattern with 18 ${\mu}m$ thick. After the bonding process, the bonding characteristics such as morphology of conduction path, electrical resistance and pull strength were measured for each formulated ECAs. As a result, the electrical and mechanical bonding characteristics for a QFP joints using CNT-filled ECA were improved about 10% compared to those of QFP joints using ECA without CNT.

Identification of a soil microorganism strain X-8, producer of ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitor, based on its morphological, physiological, biochemical and chemotaxonomical characteristics was performed. The strain X-8 was identified as Pseudomonas sp. The beta-lactamase inhibitor produced by this strain was highly achieved in fermentation medium contained glucose 0.5%, urea 0.25%, $K_2HPO_4{\cdot}3H_2O\;0.5%,\;MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.5%,\;FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O\;0.01%,\;CuSO_4,\;ZnSO_4,\;MnSO_4\;0.02%$. The beta-lactamase inhibitor was not extracted by organic solvent such as n-butanol and ethyl acetate but remained in aqueous layer. The n-butanol extract showed antimicrobial activity against M. smegmatis. The ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitor was stable at pH 7.0~8.0 and 4$^{\circ}C$ for 24h. The ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitor was bound on ion exchanger Diaion WA-30 and HP-20 and eluted with 2N-$NH_4OH$ and acetone, respectively.

In general, the protection method of Shell and Tube Type heat exchanger for a vessel has been applied as a sacrificial anode, which is attached at the inner side of the shell. However, this is an insufficient protection method for tube. Therefore, a more suitable method, such as the impressed current cathodic protection for tube protection, is required. Al-brass is the raw material of tubes for heat exchanger of a vessel where seawater is used for cooling the water. It has a high level of heat conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, and a high level of corrosion resistance, due to a cuprous oxide (Cu$_2$O) layer against th seawater. However, in actuality, it has been reported that Al-brass tubes for heat exchanger of a vessel can produce local corrosion, such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This paper studied the effect of impressed potential on the stress corrosion cracking of Al-brass for impressed current cathodic protection in 3.5% NaCl +0.1% NH$_4$OH solution, under flow by a constant displacement tester. Based on the test results, the latent time of SCC, stress corrosion crack propagation, and the dezincification phase of Al-brass are investigated.

Effects of Co and Co-P catalysts on the hydrolysis of alkaline $NaBH_4$ solution were investigated. Co and Co-P catalysts were prepared on Cu substrate by electroplating. Hydrogen generation rate of Co-P catalyst was much faster than that of Co catalyst, demonstrating that Co-P had higher intrinsic catalytic activity for the hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$ than Co. Hydrogen generation properties of Co-P catalysts largely depended on cathodic current density and electroplating time because they influenced on the P concentration of the Co-P catalysts. Maximum hydrogen generation rate of Co-P catalyst was 1066 ml/min.g-catalyst in 1 wt.% NaOH + 10 wt.% $NaBH_4$ solution at $20^{\circ}C$, which was obtained at cathodic current density of $0.01\;A/cm^2$ for 130 s.

Photovoltaic effects in organic solar cell were studied in a cell configuration of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/CuPd(20nm)/$C_{60}$(40nm)/BCP/Al(150nm) at room temperature. Here, the BCP layer works as an exciton blocking layer. The exciton blocking layer must transport electrons from the acceptor layer to the metal cathode with minimal increase in the total cell series resistance and should absorb damage during cathode deposition. Therefore, a proper thickness of the exciton blocking layer is required for an optimized photovoltaic cell. Several thicknesses of BCP were made between $C_{60}$ and Al. And we obtained characteristic parameters such as short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, and power conversion efficiency of the device under the illumination of AM 1.5.
