The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of the inhalation of 30% oxygen on heart rate and oxygen saturation ($SPO_2$) during cycle isokinetic exercise, in comparison with the inhalation of 21% oxygen. This study used oxygen supply equipment that can supply each of 21% and 30% oxygen constantly at a rate of 8 liter/min. Ten healthy male college students ($25.2{\pm}2.2$ years) participated in the experiment twice, one for 21% oxygen and the other for 30% oxygen. Each experiment was composed of three sections (a total of 18 minutes), which were composure (2 minutes), cycle isokinetic exercise at a speed of $20{\pm}1km/h$ (10 minutes) and recovery (6 minutes). 21% or 30% oxygen was supplied only during the sections of isokinetic exercise and restoration. Heart rate during isokinetic exercise and recovery was lower with the inhalation of 30% oxygen than with that of 20% oxygen but no difference was observed in $SPO_2$. $SPO_2$ was not different possibly because the same work load was applied to the group of 21% oxygen and that of 30% oxygen. Heart rate was reduced with the inhalation of 30% oxygen possibly because a larger quantity of oxygen was supplied at the same work load.

With external air pollution forcing many people indoors, new methods of facilitating healthier indoor life are necessary. This study, therefore, investigates the effects of indoor oxygen concentration and respiration methods on biosignals and cognitive ability. The study included twenty healthy subjects who inhaled air through a mask from a gas delivery system. All subjects were asked to perform three types of breathing (nasal, oral, and oral breathing with high oxygenation) and respond to cognitive stimuli (rest close eye, rest open eye, 1-back and 2-back working memory tasks). The changes in cognitive load according to respiration were analyzed by measuring response time, accuracy, and biosignals to stimuli. The result showed that, in all three respirations, heart rate significantly increased with the increase in cognitive load. Also, in oral respiration, the airway respiration rate significantly increased according to the increase in cognitive load. The change appeared to compensate for insufficient oxygen supply in oral respiration during cognitive activity. Conversely, there was no significant change in airway respiration rate during oral respiration with a high concentration oxygen supply as in nasal respiration. This result suggests that a high concentration oxygen supply might play a role in compensating for insufficient oxygen concentration or inefficient oxygen inhalation, such as oral respiration. Based on the results of this study, a follow-up study is necessary to determine the impact of changes in the autonomic nervous system, such as stress and emotions, to find out more precise and comprehensive effects of oxygen concentration and breathing type.

Methylobacillus sp. SK1, an obligate methylotroph, was cultivated in a fed-batch culture using DO as a methanol feeding indicator with a micro computer-aided control system. While 2.07g/l of cell density was obtained after 13 hr in the batch culture (initial methanol concentration: 1.0%(v/v)),45.3g/l of cell density was obtained after 17 hr by feeding methanol and metal ions in the fed-batch culture with oxygen supply. The high-density biomass was obtained in short cultuivation time by fed-batch culture with feedback control, and consequently the biomass productivity was significantly increased. It was mainly due to extension of logarithmic growth period by methanol feeding without methanol inhibition and intensive aeration without DO limitation with microcomputer-aided control system.

This study investigated the effect of 40% oxygen administration on the addition task performance in three levels of difficulties and physiological signals. Ten male and female college students were selected as the subjects for this study. The experiment consisted of two runs: one was a addition task, with normal air (21% oxygen) administered and the other was with hyperoxic air (40% oxygen) administered. The experimental sequence in each run consisted of Rest1 (3 min), Task1 (1 min, one digit addition task), Task2 (1 min, two digit addition task), Task3 (1 min, three digit addition task), and Rest2 (4 min). Blood oxygen saturation and heart rate were measured throughout the five phases. The accuracy rates of the addition task were enhanced with 40% oxygen administration compared to 21% oxygen. Difference in the accuracy rates grew higher with the rise of difficulty. When 40% concentration oxygen is supplied, blood oxygen saturation increased and heart rate was decreased comparing to 21%. This study showed that the supply of high concentration oxygen increases blood oxygen saturation, which in turns accelerates brain activation resulting from cognitive process and enhances arithmetic abilities. Particularly when difficulty is high, demand for oxygen increases and, as a result, the effect of high concentration oxygen becomes more significant.

그라핀 기판 제작을 위해서는 그라파이트의 탈착이 가장 핵심 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 신뢰성 있는 그라핀 기판 제작을 위해서, HOPG(Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite) 기판에 고농도의 이온을 주입하고, HOPG를 이형기판에 본딩한후, 후속 열처리를 통해 HOPG를 탈착시켜 그리핀을 얻는 일련의 기본 실험에 대한 결과를 보여 주고자 한다. 기대하는 효과는 고농도의 수소/산소 이온의 경우 주입된 고농도의 수소/산소가 후속 열처리동안 이동 및 뭉침현상을 통해 HOPG기판 내에 수소압력(혹은 CO2 발생)을 증가시켜 HOPG를 자르는 것을 기대하고 있다. 일차 수소이온 주입의 실험결과, 기대와는 달리 $900^{\circ}C$ 열처리에도 절단현상이 발견되지 않아서 산소이온주입에 대한 추가실험을 진행 중이다. 그라핀 본딩의 경우 그라핀의 큰 roughness로 인해 $SiO_2$만의 Fusion 본딩은 불가능함을 여러 실험을 통해 알 수 있었고, 현재 SiO2/SOG 혹은 SiO2/Fox를 이용한 본딩실험을 진행중이다.

The purpose of this study was to examine differences between 20s and 60s in blood oxygen saturation due to 93% oxygen administration of the three levels(1L/min, 3L/min, 5L/min). Ten 20s male($25.0{\pm}1.8$ years), ten 20s female($23.7{\pm}1.9$ years), ten 60s male($68.0{\pm}2.6$ years), and ten 60s female($65.5{\pm}3.1$ years) were selected as the subjects for this study. The oxygen supply equipment(OXUS Co.) provided oxygen by supply rate(i.e., 1L/min, 3L/min, and 5L/min) at a constant rate of 93% oxygen. The experiment consisted of three phases, i.e., Prehyperoxia(5min), Hyperoxia(10min), and Post-hyperoxia(5min). Blood oxygen saturation were measured throughoutthe three phases. By increasing the amount of highly concentrated oxygen administration, blood oxygen saturation was increased. Blood oxygen saturation of 20s was higher than 60s. Blood oxygen saturation was greater during Hyperoxia than during Pre- and Post-hyperoxia. However, rising rate of blood oxygen saturation of 60s by oxygen administration was higher than 20s.

Oxygen depleted water mass can damage aquatic animals not only in direct way but also in indirect way by generating toxic substances including occurrence of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia which are also highly detrimental to animal life in the water mass. An oxygen dissolution device was developed, which makes turnover of the oxygen rich (over 20 mg/L) surface water down to the bottom where hypoxia is evident and tested the device in terms of oxygen recovery in the oxygen depleted bottom water. the device with turnover rates of $3.6\;m^2$/min at the liquid oxygen injection rate of 48~26.3 L/min could recover dissolved oxygen level to 7~25 mg/L at depth 7 m to lead to the dissolution level of over 90% by the supply of liquid oxygen. The running advantage of the device is that it does not require any auxiliary tank and higher energy for operation. Therefore, it can be highly useful device to relieve damages to the farmed animals in the oxygen depleted waters.

Recent studies have shown methods of improving solar cell efficiency. Especially on single crystalline silicon wafer which is high-efficiency solar cell material that has been widely studied. Interstitial oxygen (Oi) is the main impurity in the Czochralski (Cz) growing method, and excess of this can form precipitates during cell fabrication. We have demonstrated the effect of Oi impurity and oxygen precipitation concentration of the wafer on Cz-silicon solar cell efficiency. The result showed a decrease in cell efficiency as Oi and oxygen precipitation increase. Moreover, we have found that the critical point of [Oi] to bring higher cell efficiency is at 14.5 ppma in non-existent Bulk Micro Defect (BMD).

There are many effective parameters to high concentration ozone generation. These parameters became very important elements should be considered before designing ozone generator. After designing, there are many peripheral parameters to greatly affect to high concentration ozone generation also. In this study, of many effective peripheral parameters on high concentration ozone generation, the effects of flow rate of inlet oxygen gas and some kinds of additional gases on ozone concentration were investigated As a result, when inlet oxygen gas was introduced at the range of 0.75［LPM］～2.00［LPM］ the highest ozone concentration of 71145［ppm］ was obtained at 1.25［LPM］. When the additional nitrogen gas was mixed to oxygen gas at the range of 0.0［vol%]～6.4［vol%］ the highest ozone concentration of 73135［ppm］ was obtained at 0.8［vol%］ of nitrogen gas. This showed 3［%］ increasing compared to the case of pure oxygen gas inlet. When the additional argon gas was mixed to oxygen gas at the range of 0.0［vol%］～6.4［vol%］ the highest concentration of 67288［ppm］was obtained at 0.8［vol%］of argon gas. This is decreased value compared to that of introducing the pure oxygen.
