The objective of this work was to evaluate a solid-state fermentation process for the practical production of arachidonic acid(AA) by Mortierella alpina ATCC 32222. In the present investigation, batch culture kinetics for both submerged- and solid-state fermentations was carried out at $25^{\circ}C$ to identify the relationship between growth and arachidonic acid (AA) production. Glucose and yeast extract were used in submerged fermentations by using flasks, while rice bran was used as a sole raw material in the other type of fermentations by using a series of Petri dishes. It was evident that a mixed-growth associated pattern existed between the two variables, irrespective of modes of fermentations. The effect of carbon to nitrogen (CfN) ratio on AA production in solid-state fermentation was studied in the range of 6.5 - 20. As a result, an optimum condition was found to be 6.5. Supplementary carbon source was not necessary to meet the optimum C/N ratio. Unlike the Previous results obtained by other researchers, a supplement of sodium glutamate up to $4\%$ (w/w) to the rice bran medium did not have a positive effect on the AA productivity. However, an increase in AA productivity was obtained with the rice bran medium supplemented with sesame oil.

Numerical analysis of bubble motion during nucleate boiling is performed by imposing a constant heat flux condition at the base of a heater which occurs in most of boiling experiments. The temporal and spatial variation of a solid surface temperature associated with the bubble growth and departure is investigated by solving a conjugate problem involving conduction in the solid. The vapor-liquid interface is tracked by a level set method which is modified to include the effects of phase change at the interface, contact angle at the wall and evaporative heat flux in a thin liquid micro-layer. Based on the numerical results, the bubble growth pattern and its interaction with the heating solid are discussed. Also, the effect of heating condition on the bubble growth under a micro-gravity condition is investigated.

The possibility of solid-substrate fermentation of Coriolus versicolor for the production of protein-bound polysaccharides(PBP) was studied. Zeolite and orchid-pot soil were used as solid materials for the culture because of the desirable physical properties. Glucose, sucrose and starch showed to be good carbon sources for the production of PBP by the solid-substrate fermantation of C. versicolor. Among the nitrogen sources, bactosoyton and peptone were very effective for the PBP production. The optimum pH for solid-substrate culture for the production of PBP was at the range of 5-6. The yields of PBP reached to 5-6 mg per 100 g solid-substrate.

In the submerged fermentation of fungi, it was known pH had significant effect on the citric acid production. Various growth conditions were applied with different buffer on citric acid production by Aspergillus niger NRRL 567 grown on peat moss to find the optimum pH and most effective buffer solution. The initial pHs of different buffer solutions significantly influenced on the citric acid production and A. niger NRRL 567 produced citric acid more efficiently at high pHs. A phosphate buffer and a carbonate buffer with pH 8.6 and pH 10.0 were identified as suitable buffer solutions for citric acid production. The maximal citric acid production of 564.3 g/kg solid substrate was achieved employing carbonate buffer at pH 10.0.

Single-crystalline InSb nanowire was synthesized on $SiO_2$ wafer via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism using chemical vapor deposition method. According to the source container system (open or close) which contain InSb powder and $SiO_2$ wafer, the single-crystalline InSb nanowires have different growth mechanisms. Structural characterization of the InSb nanowires was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Composition of the nanowires was investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This study demonstrates that length and diameter of the InSb nanowires are long and thick using open-boat system by VLS and additional vapor-solid (VS) mechanisms, because open-boat system can carry a large amount of vapor-phase InSb precursor than close-boat system.

Mycobacteria grow slowly. Therefore, a solid medium should be used for eight weeks and a liquid medium for six weeks. The purpose of this study was to find the growth factors that can grow Mycobacterium rapidly and to help develop a solid medium for rapid identification. Three types of Mycobacterium growth factors were evaluated with 10 Mycobacteria by adding activated charcoal, defibrinated sheep blood, and L-ascorbic acid to $Difco^{TM}$ Mycobacteria 7H11 agar (Becton, Dickinson and Company, Sparks, MD, USA). The time to detection and the distinguishability of a colony were compared with that of the current method. In the rapidly growing Mycobacterium, the difference in detection time between the new media and conventional media confirmed that the new media was faster. M. kansasii and M. intracelluare grew faster in 7H11 C than in 7H11 medium. MTB grew faster than the other media in 7H11 C. This study confirmed that the two growth factors affect fast-growing Mycobacteria and slow-growing Mycobacteria. 7H11 C showed better distinguishability than the conventional media in all 10 Mycobacterium due to the color contrast. In particular, when the MTB was grown, the size of the colonies was larger than with other media, so visualization was easy.

Recently, all-solid-state batteries have attracted much attention to improve safety of rechargeable lithium batteries, but the solid-state batteries of conductive ceramics or solid polymer electrolytes show poor electrochemical properties because of several problems such as high interfacial resistance and undesired reactions. To solve the problems of the reported all-solid-state batteries, a hybrid solid electrolyte is suggested, in this study, NASICON-type nanoparticle Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5P₃O₁₂ (LATP) conductive ceramic, PVdF-HFP, and a carbonate-based liquid electrolyte were composited to prepare a quasi-solid electrolyte. The hybrid solid electrolyte has a high voltage stability of 5.6 V and shows an suppress effect of lithium dendrite growth in the stripping-plating test. The LiNi_0.83Co_0.11Mn_0.06O₂ (NCM811)-based battery with the hybrid solid electrolyte exhibits a high discharge capacity of 241.5 mAh/g at a high charge-cut-off voltage of 4.8V and stable electrochemical reaction. The NCM811-based battery also shows 139.4 mAh/g discharge capacity without short circuit or explosion at 90℃. Therefore, the LATP-based hybrid solid electrolyte can be an effective solution to improve the safety and electrochemical properties of rechargeable lithium batteries.

고체내의 결함을 분석하기 위한 장비로는 대표적으로 DLTS (deep level transient spectroscopy)를 이용하여 깊은 준위 결함의 활성화에너지를 구하는 분석법, 투과전자현미경을 이용한 박막의 결정살창 분석법, photoluminescence나 electroluminescence를 이용하여 광학적인 방법으로 결함을 분석하는 방법, 마지막으로 광전류 측정을 통하여 결함을 분석하는 방법 등이 있다. 이 중에서도 빛에 의해서 증가되는 광전류를 이용한 결함 분석 방법은 과거에는 종종 시행되어 왔으나 최근에는 거의 연구되어지고 있지 않고 있다. 고체 내의 많은 결함들이 빛에만 반응하는 결함도 있으며 전기적인 측정을 통해서만 발견되는 결함이 존재하기 때문에 모든 부분을 다 만족시키는 방법은 찾기가 힘들다고 알려져 있다. 한편, ZnO는 octahedral 구조로 공간이 비어있기 때문에 여러 가지 결함이 존재하는데, 그 중에서 valence band 바로 위 0.3~0.5 eV에 존재하는 결함 준위는 Zn 빈자리에 의한 결함으로 이론적으로만 밝혀졌을 뿐 실험적으로는 현재까지 발견되어지고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 광전류를 이용하여 n-ZnO/p-Si과 n-ZnO/p-GaN p-n 접합 다이오드 내의 결함에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. ZnO를 UHV 스퍼터링 방법으로 성장하였으며 ZnO의 결함의 양을 조절하기 위해 박막의 두께와 증착할 때의 기판 속도 등을 조절하였다. 이렇게 성장된 ZnO 기반의 다이오드를 광전류 측정을 이용하여 결함을 분석하였다. 실험결과 420 nm 파장의 빛을 다이오드에 주사하였을 때 광전류가 크게 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며 이것은 이론적으로만 주장되어져 왔던 Zn 빈자리 결함에 의한 것으로 판단되었다.
