This research was carried out to compare structure, equilibrium moisture content(EMC), adsorption and acoustical properties between 4 retention levels of saligenin(o-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) treated, heat-treated and untreated chestnut(Castanea crenata S. et Z.) and paulownia(Paulownia spp.) woods. The cell structures of untreated wood and heat-treated wood were not different but the cell wall of saligenin treated wood was thicker than that of untreated wood for both species. EMC of untreated wood was the highest, next was that of heat-treated wood, and that of saligenin treated wood was the lowest, and among saligenin treated woods, EMC was decreased as retention level increased for both species. Adsorption curves were parabolically increased. Acoustical properties of saligenin treated wood were most improved, and the next were those of heat-treated wood. Comprehensive acoustical property was improved at retention level 20% and 30% for chestnut wood, and at retention level 80% for paulownia wood.

Various pretreatment methods were evaluated to prevent tissue softening of heated onion. Changes in onion tissue firmness during heating were explained by 3-mechanism model consisting of texture hardening at low temperature ($60-80^{\circ}C$) and substrate softening at high temperature. Preheating of onion in a $Ca^{2+}$-containing solution significantly improved its texture after high-temperature heating. The improvement of firmness by preheating at low temperature was related to the formation of strong cross-linking between carboxyl groups and $Ca^{2+}$ by the action of pectin methylesterase in onion. The highest firmness was obtained by pre-heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 120 min in 0.5% calcium solution. This result was supported by chemical analysis showing that the amount of bound calcium was the highest at $70^{\circ}C$. Further investigation should be carried out to establish the optimal conditions to prevent the softening of various vegetables.

Coiled polymer actuators fabricated by twisting polymer fishing lines or sewing threads respond to heating and cooling with their contraction and relaxation. However, their actuation speed is highly dependent on the heating and cooling rates. In order to improve the actuation speed, the coiled polymer actuator was coated with polydimethylsiloxane composites. The introduction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes into the polydimethylsiloxane improved the actuation speed by about 13%.

Reflood experiments under atmospheric pressure have been conducted with a single heated tube to investigate basically the rewetting phenomena following a LOCA. Experimental conditions are 180cm length of test tube, wall temperature range of 300-80$0^{\circ}C$, coolant flooding rate of 5-30cm/sec. and subcooling of 35-85$^{\circ}C$. Experiments show that the rewetting velocity is dependent on the initial wall temperature of test tube, coolant flow rate and coolant subcooling. It is required to develop the proper method to evaluate the rewetting temperature and the heat transfer coefficient.

단일벽 탄소 나노튜브(SWCNT)는 그 뛰어난 전기적, 물리적 특성 때문에 반도체 공정에 있어서 중요한 p-type 채널 물질로 꼽히고 있다. 본 연구에서는 SWCNT를 성장하여 이를 이용한 전계효과 트랜지스터를 제작하고 또한, 부분적인 폴리머의 코팅으로 타입을 변화하는 연구를 보이고자 한다. Ferritin용액을 DI-water에 2000배 희석하여 SiO2 기판 위에 뿌린 뒤 Methanol을 이용하여 기판 표면에 촉매가 붙어있게 한다. 이 기판을 $900^{\circ}C$로 가열하여 유기물질을 제거한 뒤 화학 기상 증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition)방법으로 SWCNT를 성장하게 된다. 이렇게 성장된 SWCNT는 촉매의 농도에 비례하는 밀도를 가지게 되며 이 위에 전극을 증착하고 back-gate를 설치하여 FET를 제작한다. 메탈릭한 SWCNT는 breakdown 공정을 통하여 제거한 뒤, 전자 농도가 높은 NADH를 전체적으로 코팅을 한다. NADH는 기존의 다른 폴리머(polyethyleneimine: PEI)에 비교하여 코팅 후 전자 제공 효과가 크며 그 성질의 재현성이 높고 공기 중에서 안정성을 유지하는 능력이 있다. 이러한 NADH의 코팅으로 n-type으로의 SWCNT FET를 제작하였으며 type conversion 현상을 이용하면 국부적인 NADH의 코팅으로 homojunction-diode의 제작 등 다양한 소자의 제작에 적용될 것으로 예상한다.

A major stress determining the remaining life of the tube in feedwater heater of fossil fuel power plant is hoop stress by the internal pressure. However, thermal stress due to temperature difference across the wall thickness also contributed to reduce the remaining life of the tube. Therefore, thermal loading must be considered even though the contribution of internal pressure loading to the stresses of the tube was known to be much higher than that of the thermal loading. In this study, thermal stress of the tubes in the de-superheating zone was estimated, which was generated due to the temperature difference across the tube thickness. Analytic equations were shown for determining the hoop stress and the radial stress of the tube with uniform thinning and for the temperature across the tube thickness. Accuracy and effectiveness of the analytic equations for the stresses were verified by comparing the results obtained by the analytic equations with those obtained from finite element analysis. Using finite element analysis, the stresses for eccentric thinning were also determined. The effect of heat transfer coefficient on thermal stress was investigated using series of finite element analyses with various values of heat transfer coefficient for both inner and outer surface of the tube. It was shown that the effect of heat transfer coefficient at outer surface was larger than that of heat transfer coefficient at inner surface on the thermal stress of the tube. Also, the hoop stress was larger than the radial stress for both cases of uniformly and eccentrically thinned tubes when the thermal loading was only considered without internal pressure loading.

Seven gtrains of Lactobacillus produce bacteriocin being active for Lacidophilus. All strains producing bacteriocin were found to be L. acidophilus except with one strain of L. gasseri. The maximum activity of bacteriocin produced by Lactobacillus strains was obtained at a middle or late stage of the log phase, or a early stage of the stationary phase. After the maximum was reached, however, the activity was rapidly decreased. The bacteriocins were inactivated easily by the treatment with proteolytic enzymes but not with nucleolytic enzymes, suggesting that the bacteriocin was proteinaceous. The bacteriocins were different from the other previously reported lactobacillus bacteriocin in their flexibility to the treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$. Bacteriocins of L. acidophilus ATCC 9857 and 4357 decreased in activity by the treatment with diethylether, presumably the bacteriocin contained of a lipid component. It sums likely that L. acidophilus A4 bacteriocin adsorb to a regularly arrayed layer of the cell wall.

As a series of fundamental research projects to produce doenjang (Korean fermented soy paste) of better quality, two kinds of doenjang were manufactured from a traditional meju (Korean soy bean koji) and the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto, and histological changes in the cell structures of soy bean of the two were reported doenjang samples were observed and compared during the entire period of fermentation processes. Cell walls of the soy bean were ruptured by pressure and heat during the pressure cooking process and some of them were observed to have the ghost-like shapes. Remarkable differences in the plasmolysis of the cytoplasms were observed between the seed coat and the inner part of soy bean. Small vacuoles resulting from the fusion of the glycoprotein globules by protease and from the hydrolysis of the starch granules by amylase were also observed. Penetration of microorganisms was transferred from the seed coat to the inside of soy bean as the fermentation proceeded. Slimy substances were observed on the seed coat and the parenchyma cells of soy bean fermented with the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto. Cell walls of soy bean became difficult to stain and they showed unusual, polygonal shapes as the fermentation proceeded. Samples fermented with the mixed with Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus natto showed more remarkable tendencies than traditional meju.

증식블랑켓모듈(TBM, Test Blanket Module)을 개발하여 왔다. 이 두 증식블랑켓모듈은 모두 헬륨냉각을 기반으로 개발 되어왔으며 이에 따라, 헬륨순환기, 헬륨히터 및 헬륨열교환기 등에 대한 기본적인 연구가 수행되었다. 이후 2012년 고체형 증식블랑켓모듈을 ITER TBM 개념으로 주도하기로 결정함에 따라, HCCR (Helium Cooled Ceramic Reflector) TBM의 보조계통인 하나인 헬륨냉각계통(HCS, Helium Cooling System)에 대한 개발이 본격적으로 이루어졌다. 한국원자력연구원에서는 HCCR TBM의 냉각성능을 만족하기 위하여 8 MPa, 1.5 kg/s 및 $300/500^{\circ}C$ (입구/출구 온도)의 운전조건을 갖는 헬륨냉각계통의 설계를 완료하였다. 설계된 헬륨냉각계통은 HCCR TBM에서 회수된 약 $450^{\circ}C$의 헬륨을 열회수기(recuperator)기와 냉각기를 통해 상온으로 냉각시킨 후, 필터를 통해 헬륨을 여과시킨다. 여과된 헬륨은 헬륨순환기에 의해 가압되어 열회수기를 다시 지나 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 가열된다. 가열된 헬륨은 열회수기를 지나지 않는 상온의 헬륨과 혼합되어 최종적으로 HCCR TBM의 입구온도 조건인 $300^{\circ}C$로 맞추어 HCCR TBM에 공급된다. 이러한 열회수기 중심으로 '${\infty}$' 모양의 자가 교차로 설계된 헬륨냉각계통은 고온영역과 저온영역으로 냉각회로를 구분하여 순환기, 필터 및 각종 계측기의 운전온도 환경을 상온으로 유지시킬 수 있어 운전 및 유지보수 관점에서 이점이 있다. HCCR TBM의 헬륨냉각계통 설계 및 핵심 기기를 실증하고, 운전 경험을 쌓기 위하여 헬륨공급장치(HeSS, Helium Supply System)를 헬륨유량기준 1/3 규모(0.5 kg/s)로 구축하였으며, '14년까지 HeSS를 실증규모로 업그레이드 하기 위하여 80기압 환경에서 압축비 1.1, 유량 1.5 kg/s의 성능을 내는 헬륨순환기를 설치할 예정이다. 현재 구축된 1/3 규모 HeSS는 국내 구축된 전자빔 고열부하 시험 장비인 KoHLT-EB (Electron Beam)와 연계되어 HCCR TBM의 일차벽(플라즈마 대향부품)을 검증할 예정이며, 이를 통해 얻어진 열수력 DB는 현재 개발중인 핵융합로 안전해석코드인 GAMMA-FR 검증에 활용될 계획이다.
