We studied oxidation behaviors of anti-oxidative Y-Cr oxide coated sol on ferritic steel for application of the Fe-Cr alloys as interconnectors of planar-type Solid Oxide Fuel Cells(SOFCs). In coated$YCrO_3$on the ferritic steel, the phases of $YCrO_3$,$Cr_2O_3$and $Mn_{1.5}Cr_{1.5}O_4$on the coated surface were detected, but iron base scales were not observed after oxidation at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 40 h. The Mn-Cr oxide scales were grown with oxidation by diffusing components in the ferritic steel from inner. The Log(ASR/T) value that expresses electrical resistance of coated$YCrO_3$on the ferritic steel was -4.57~$-4.70{omega}cm^2K^{-1}$, lower in comparison with the one of the uncoated ferritic steel,$-3.99{omega}cm^2K^{-1}$. This indicates the applicability of Fe-l6Cr alloy as interconnector materials for SOFCs.

As the national economic growth and the rapid increase in industrial structures are aging, the demand for removing steel structures is increasing, and research on improving the penetration performance of the linear shape charge explosives. In the study, numerical analyses were performed on the effect of the type of explosive used in the self-made shape charging container and the initiation method on the cutting performance of the steel plate and the effect on the shaped explosive installed close to it. ANSYS LS-DYNA, which can analyze the large deformation problem of materials due to explosion, was used, and an ALE(Arbitrary-Lagrange-Eulerian) model was applied that enables interlocking analysis of gases, liquids, and solid.

The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of a low-energy finisher diet on feed and growth efficiencies and carcass traits of ‘high’-market weight (MW) finishing pigs and thereby to extrapolate optimal dietary energy level for the high-MW swine. A total of 160 (Yorkshire × Landrace) × Duroc-crossbred finishing gilts and barrows weighing approximately 90 kg were fed a low-energy (3,200 kcal DE/kg) diet (LE) or control (3,400 kcal) diet (CON) ad libitum in 16 pens up to 135- and 125-kg live weights, respectively, at which the animals were slaughtered and their carcasses were analyzed [2 (sex) × 2 (diet) factorial experimental design]. Average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed efficiency did not differ between the two sex or diet groups. Backfat thickness was less (P<0.05) in LE (22.4 mm) than in CON group (24.3 mm) in gilts, but not in barrows (24.4 ± 0.4 mm). The percentage of C- & D-grade carcasses was over 90% because of the ‘over-weight’ problem in gilts, whereas in barrows, percentages of A plus B grades and C plus D grades were 79% and 21%, respectively. The yield percentage of each trimmed primal cut per total trimmed cuts (w/w) did not differ between the two sex or diet groups. Physicochemical characteristics of longissimus muscle including color (lightness and redness), pH, drip loss and chemical composition, which overally were within the range of normal carcass, also did not differ between the two sex or diet groups. In conclusion, both LE and CON are judged to be adequate for the high-MW swine during the latter finishing period. If fat deposition of a given herd of high-MW pigs needs to be suppressed by a dietary treatment, the energy content of the diet will have to be reduced to a level lower than 3,200 kcal DE/kg.

For the establishment of an efficient embryogenesis from microspore culture in Brassica napus L. domestic cultivar 'Tammiyuchae', four different factors affecting microspore embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration were investigated. The highest embryogenesis rate was achieved when microspores at late uninucleate to early binucleate stage were isolated from flower buds with a length of 3.0~3.5 mm. On average, 388 embryos generated from 1 ml of microspores media. The highest number of embryos was obtained when microspores were subjected to $32.5^{\circ}C$ for 2 days. Embryogenesis of 'Tammiyuchae' was increased with increasing microspore culture density up to about $5{\times}10^4ea/mL$. Gradually higher culture density repressed embryogenesis of microspores. Regeneration rate of shoots from microspore-derived embryos was observed in MS solid medium supplemented with $0.5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NAA and $1.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ BA, and grew well in MS solid medium without plant growth regulators.

The microstructural change of the $Sm_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_3$ (SSC) electrode for a cathode material of solid oxdie fuel cells (SOFCs) deposited by the electrostatic spray deposition (ESD) technique was characterized. Samarium chloride hexahydrate $(SmCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O)$, strontium chloride hexahydrate $(SrCl_2{\cdot}gH_2O)$, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate $(Co(No_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O)$ as starting materials and methyl alcohol as solvent were used to make precursor solution. The suitable porous SSC films for a cathode of SOFCs were deposited on Si substrate and it is observed that the microstructure was strongly dependent on processing parameters such as deposition time, substrate temperature, and applied voltage. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray Diffractometer (XRD) measurement were used to investigate the microstructure and crystallinity of the SSC films. The ESD technique is shown to be an efficient method in which the SOFCs' cathode film can be fabricated with the desired phases and microstructure.

In this research, the geopolymer was fabricated using municipal solid waste incineration ash (denoted as MSWIA) slag and alkali activator, NaOH and its properties were analyzed. Particularly, the effects of NaOH molarity, particle size of MSWIA, and liquid/solids ratio on the compressive strength of geopolymers were investigated. The compressive strength of geopolymers fabricated increased with finer grain size of MSWIA, and optimum value of the liquid/solids ratio was identified as 0.13. As the molarity of the NaOH increased, the compressive strength of geopolymers was increased. Even more the 20 M of NaOH, but the strength was not increased. The calcium aluminum silicate and calcium aluminum silicate hydrate zeolites were generated in the geopolymer fabricated with more than 20 M of NaOH, with some unreacted silica and unknown crystals remained. The highest compressive strength, 163 MPa, of geopolymer was appeared at conditions of curing temperature $70^{\circ}C$, and 20 M of NaOH, indicating that the high concentration of NaOH accelerates the geopolymer reaction and dense microstructure. The high-strength geopolymer fabricated in the present study is expected to contribute significantly to develop the field of cement alternative substances and to improve the recycling rate of MSWIA slag.

Studies on the production of cell-wall bound innerpolysaccharides (IPS) (soluble ${\beta}$-D-glucan) have been performed by use of suspended myelial cultures of Inonotus obliquus. This product has promising potentials as an effective antidiabetic as well as an immunostimulating agents. As a first step to enhanced production of IPS, Intensive strain improvement programs were carried out by obtaining a large amounts of protoplasts for the isolation of single cell colonies. Rapid and large screening of high-yielding producers was possible because about fivefold higher amount of protoplasts ($2.3{\times}10^6$ protoplasts/mL) could be recovered with relatively high regeneration rates of $10^{-2}{\sim}10^{-3}$ by applying a modified filtration method, as compared to the previously used trapping method. A basic protocol necessary for UV-mutation of the protoplasts was also developed, resulting in several overproducing variants with good fermentation properties. Since the amount of IPS extracted from the mycelial cell walls of I. obliquus turned out to be almost constant per g DCW, increase in cell mass was considered the most important factor for the enhancement in IPS production. Therefore, attempts were made to screen mutant cells showing rapid mycelial growth rate in the final suspended cultures. Notably, the mutant strains showing an active cellgrowth in the preceding solid growth cultures were observed to produce higher amount of IPS in the suspended fermentations as well. A striking mutant, OBLQ756-15-5 strain, obtained from the survivors of a harsh UV-treated condition (97% death rate) was found to stably produce as high cell mass as 22 g DCW/L in the final fermentations. Currently, this strain is being tested for development of a scaled-up fermentation process for mass production of IPS.

Background : The Aim of this study was to compare the recovery of mycobacteria from sputum samples of pulmonary tuberculosis patients using the MB/BacT rapid culture system(Organon Teknika, USA) with that obtained using Lowenstein-Jensen solid medium. Methods : The two culture systems were compared using sputum samples of 99 pulmonary tuberculosis patients. Culture media were incubated at $35-37^{\circ}C$ for six weeks in the MB/BacT system and for 12 weeks in Lowenstein-Jensen solid medium. Solid media were examined macroscopically once a week, and the MB/BacT system positive vials were unloaded from the machine as soon as possible after positive signal from the connected computer was detected Confirmation of growth for mycobacteria was done by Ziehl-Neelson stained smears. Isolates were identified to differentiate Mycobacterium tuberculosis from mycobacterium other than tuberculosis(MOTT) by phenotypic and molecular methods. Results : Of the sputum samples of the 99 patients, 58 samples were smear positive and 41 in negative smear. Mycobacteria were recovered from 67(67.7%) samples by using both culture systems. The yield with MB/BacT was higher than that with Lowenstein-Jensen [67(67.7%) vs. 52(52.5%), p<0.001]. Moreover, 15(15.2%) samples were positive only in the MB/BacT, whereas none of samples was positive only in Lowenstein-Jensen. In smear-positive and smear-negative samples, the recovery rate with MB/BacT was also higher than that with Lowenstein-Jensen [sputum-positive; 56/58(96.6%) vs. 46/58(79.3%), p=0.005, sputum-negative; 6/41(14.6%) vs. 5/41(12.2%), p<0.001]. The mean times to detection of Mycobacteria were 13.3 and 27.2 days with MB/BacT and Lowenstein-Jensen respectively(p<0.001). Conclusion : This results indicate that the the MB/BacT is more efficient and faster than Lowenstein-Jensen for the recovery of mycobacteria.

박막 표면에 대한 경원소 분석법인 탄성 되튐 반도법을 개발하여 수소, 탄소, 질소등 분석에 이용하고 있다. 이때 입사 입자로 Cl 9.6MeV를 이용하였는데, 표적 표면에 탄소막이 흡착되는 현상을 발견하였다. cold trap 및 cold finger를 사용하여 진공도를 개선하므로서, 탄소막 흡착의 한 원인으로 알려져 잇는 chamber 주변의 진공도 변화를 시켜보았다. 하지만 전혀 탄소막이 생기지 않는 10-10torr 이하 진공을 만드는 것은 많은 비용과 장비를 필요로 하는 상당히 힘든 작업이어서, 이차적으로 탄소막이 표적 표면에 달라 붙게 하는 원인으로 추정되는 이차 전자의 발생을 고에너지 이온빔으로 조사하였다. 일반적으로 이차전자의 발생은 이온빔과 표적과의 충돌에 의한 고체 표면으로부터의 전자방출 현상으로 오래전부터 연구되어져 왔다. 여기에는 두가지 다른 구조가 존재하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그 중 하나는 입사 입자의 전하와 표적 표면사이 작용하는 potential 에너지가 표적 표면의 일함수(재가 function) 보다 클 때에 일어나는 potential emission이다. 즉 표적 궤도에 존재하는 전자와 입사 이온빔 사이의 potential 이 표적의 전자를 들뜨게 만들고, 이 potential의 크기가표적의 표면 장벽 potential 보다 충분히 클 뜸 전자가 방출하는 현상을 말한다. 다른 또 하나의 방출구조로는 입사 이온이 표적 표면의 원자와의 충돌에 의해 직접저인 에너지 전달을 통한 전자 방출을 말하는데, 이를 kienetic emission(이하 KE)이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 Tandem Van de graaff 가속기로 고에너지 이온빔을 만들어 Au에 충돌시키므로서 kinetic emission을 통하여 Au에서 발생한는 이차전자의 방출 수율 및 에너지를 측정하였다.장구조로 전체 성장 양식을 예견할 수 있다. 일반적인 경향은 Ep가 커질수록 fractal 성장형태가 되며, Ed가 적을수록 cluster 밀도가 작아지나, 같은 Ed+Ep에 대해서는 동일한 크기의 팔 넓이(수평 수직 방향 cluster 두께)를 가진다. 따라서 실험으로부터 얻은 cluster의 팔 넓이로부터 Ed+Ep 값을 결정할 수 있고, cluster 밀도와 fractal 차원으로부터 각각 Ed와 Ep값을 분리하여 얻을 수 있다. 또한 다층 성장에 대한 거칠기(roughness) 값으로부터 Es값도 구할 수 있다. 양방향 대칭성을 갖지 않은 fcc(110) 표면과 같은 경우, 형태는 다양하지만 동일한 방법으로 추정이 가능하다. (110) 표면의 경우 nearest neighbor 원자가 한 축으로 형성되고 따라서 이 축과 이것과 수직인 축에 대한 상호작용이나 분산 장벽 모두가 비대칭적이다. 따라서 분산 장벽도 x-축, y-축 방향에 따라 분리하여 Edx, E요, Epx, Epy 등과 같이 방향에 따라 다르게 고려해야 한다. 이러한 비대칭적인 분산 장벽을 고려하여 KMC 시뮬레이션을 수행하면 수평축과 수직축의 분산 장벽의 비에 따라 cluster의 두께비가 달라지는 성장을 볼 수 있었고, 한 축 방향으로의 팔 넓이는 fcc(100) 표면의 경우 동일한 Ed+Ep값에 대응하는 팔 넓이와 거의 동일한 결과가 나타나는 것을 볼 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 비대칭적인 모양을 가지는 성장의 경우도 cluster 밀도, cluster 모양, cluster의 양 축 방향 길이 비, 양 축 방향의 평균 팔 넓이로부터 각 축 방향의 분산 장벽을 얻어낼 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 기대할 수 있는 여러 장점들을 보고하고자 한다.성이 우수한 시편일수록 grain의 크기가 큰 것으로 나타났고 결정성이 우수한 시편의 경우에서는 XR

This is a part of study on the hydrolysis of seaweed using microorganisms. A microflora sample obtained from a decayed pine tree was purified by pure culture of 4 times. As the result, 16 isolated strains were obtained from the microflora sample and then each strain was incubated in a liquid medium with sea tangle powder for 3 weeks. Ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar of 08A211, 08C221 and 08B121 strains were highest. Accordingly, these three strains were incubated in 3 different liquid media of sodium alginate, sea tangle powder, and sea mustard powder for 3 or 4 weeks. The ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar and cell growth were measured once a week. Cell growth and ratios of reduced sugar to total sugar was highest for 08B121 in all the liquid media.
