Lactobacillus brevis DK25 isolated from Dongchimi was identified by physiological and biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. Bacteriocin of L. brevis DK25 exhibits inhibitory activity against Enterococcus faecalis and Listeria monocytogenes when using agar well diffusion method. Maximal production of bacteriocin was reached in the beginning of the stationary phase, and inhibitory activity declined after the late stationary phase. This result suggested that bacteriocin was produced in a growth-associated manner. Complete inactivation of bacteriocin activity was observed after treatment with protease, but the activity was stable between pH 4-9 and heat resistant (30 min at $100^{\circ}C$). Bacteriocin showed a concentration-dependent antimicrobial activity against L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569. Moreover, the application experiment showed that combination of bacteriocin (320 AU/ml) with potassium benzoate (0.05%) could significantly reduce the counts of L. monocytogenes KCTC 3569 in mayonnaise during storage at 4 or $25^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Thus, bacteriocin from L. brevis DK25 may be used for hurdle technology by combination with potassium benzoate in order to increase pathogenic bacteria inactivation in food processing and food safety control.

Production of eco-friendly and biologically harmless materials is strongly required in all industries. In particular, reducing volatile organic compounds in coating processes is extremely important to secure worker's safety. During recent two decades, extensive research works on water-borne polyurethane dispersion (PUD) have been continuously developed as an alternative to solvent-borne polyurethane. However, PUD was shown inferior mechanical properties to the organic solvent-borne polyurethane due to a limit to the molecular weight increase, which resulted in the limit of applications. To overcome this drawback, several approaches have been examined such as polymer blends and thermal/radiation induced crosslinking. Among these methods, the radiation curing system was suitable for industrialization because of the high crosslinking density and fast curing speed. In this study, we overcame the drawback for PUD via introducing benzophenone radiation curable units to PUD. We synthesized PUD films which possessed good dispersion in water for 30 days, increased Tg and Td more than $5^{\circ}C$ after UV curing film as well as improved young's modulus more than double.

Recently, it has been increasing trend to use conductive materials as electronics and communication technology in electronics industry are developing. The noble metal such as Ag, Pt, Pd etc. are mostly used as conductive materials, To reduce production cost, alternative materials with similar characteristics of noble metals are needed. Copper has advantages, i.e its electronic properties are similar to noble metals and low cost than noble metal, but its use has been restricted because of oxidation in air. In this study, the tin film was coated on copper by electroless plating to protect copper from oxidation and to confirm the effects of temperature, pH, amount of $SnCl_2$, and feeding speed in plating conditions. Additionally, we apply $Cu_{core}Sn_{shell}$ powder as conductive filler with low-temperature densification and analysis by SEM, XRD, FIB and 4-Point Probe techniques. As result of the study, tin film was coated well on copper and was protected from oxidation. After low-temperature densification treatment, the meted tin made chemical interconnections with copper. Accordingly, conductivity was increased than before condition. We hope $Cu_{core}Sn_{shell}$ powder to replace noble metals and use in the electronic field.

This study evaluated the effect of steam heating, gamma irradiation, and ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on microorganism reduction in order to determine an effective sterilization method for red pepper powder. The effect of each treatment on the reduction of thermoduric bacteria and total aerobic bacteria in red pepper powder were as follows: 10 kGy gamma irradiation, reduction of 4 log and 6 log CFU/g, respectively; 12 mW/㎠ UV irradiation (264 nm UV-C), reduction of less than 1 log CFU/g; steam heating at 120℃ for 40 s, reduction of approximately 2 log CFU/g. High-temperature short-time processing at 110℃ for 30 s reduced the total bacterial count in Gochujang solution from 5.70 log CFU/g to 2.26 log CFU/g; at 121℃, the solution was commercially sterile. Steam heating resulted in 1, 2, and 4 log microbial inactivation in garlic, onion, and pepper powder, respectively. Steam sterilization, which consumers prefer over other methods, may be an effective method for reducing microorganisms in spice powders, including those in red pepper powder.

In this study, we investigated the effect of $TiCl_4$ injection time on the Kroll reaction at a given weight ratio of $TiCl_4$ and Mg. The reduction reaction was investigated by measuring the temperature change according to $TiCl_4$ injection time and observing the cross section and appearance of the Ti sponge after the reaction. The temperature increment due to Kroll reaction heat generation was found to be linearly proportional to the $TiCl_4$ feed rate. In the graph of $TiCl_4$ injection time and reduction tank temperature, initial temperature peaks were observed irrespective of the injection conditions. This is interpreted to mean a temporary interruption of reaction due to $MgCl_2$ formation after the initial Kroll reaction. In addition, when the cross section of the sponge was observed, a large amount of spherical Mg particles was observed in $MgCl_2$. We can infer that this is the process of continuously feeding the unreacted Mg surface, so that a continuous Kroll reaction takes place. The sponge appearance showed that the coalescence or growth of the Kroll reacted Ti particles can be controlled by the cooling rate.

Nutritional compositions, volatile compounds, and sensory attributes of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were analyzed in order to examine its practical utilization as a food resource compared to commercial frozen mackerel. In the proximate analysis, lipid contents were $27.3{\pm}2.7%$ in grilled and fast-chilled mackerel. Palmitic acid was the most predominant fatty acid (20.68% and 18.88%), and the percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acid were higher than 40% in both. No benzopyrene was found in the grilled mackerel, and even grilling was employed at $260^{\circ}C$. For chemical stabilities, para-anisidine value (8.56 vs. 9.26) and acid value (2.96 vs. 3.35) in grilled mackerel were improved compared to those of commercial mackerel. Moreover, color index of grilled mackerel, a physiological property, showed greater lightness than commercial mackerel. Lastly, analysis of volatile compounds by gas chromatographic analysis and sensory tests by trained panels demonstrated higher potential for grilled mackerel as a highly marketable product compared to commercial mackerel. Taken altogether, the above results provide important preliminary results for utilization of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel as a quality food.

자동차는 코너 주행 시 In-corner와 Out-corner 의 바퀴 궤적이 달라지므로, 특별한 장치가 없이 좌우 구동 측의 바퀴가 같은 속도로 회전을 하게 되면 정상적인 주행이 불가능하다. 따라서 정상적인 코너 주행이 가능 하려면, 코너 안쪽 바퀴보다 바깥쪽 바퀴가 더 빨리 회전해야 하며 이러한 회전 차를 보상받지 못할 경우 바깥쪽 바퀴가 끌리는 현상이 발생하는데 이를 방지하기 위해 디퍼렌셜 기어가 필요하다. 현재 디퍼렌셜 기어는 디퍼렌셜 케이스와 링기어를 볼트로 체결하는 조립 공법을 통해 생산되고 있다. 하지만 볼트 체결 공법은 조립을 위한 볼트와 볼트 체결을 위한 플랜지와 볼팅을 위한 홀을 가공하는 공정이 필요하기 때문에 재료비 절감 및 생산 효율 향상에 매우 불리하고 볼트체결을 위한 부분 때문에 불필요한 무게가 증가하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 기계적 체결 방식을 레이저 용접 방식으로 대체하여 재료비를 절감하고 무게 저감을 통해 주행성능을 향상시키고자 하였다. 링기어의 소재는 침탄처리강(SCM420H)이며 디퍼렌셜 케이스의 소재는 주철(GCD500)을 사용하고 있다. 주철은 용접시 용접부와 열영향부에서 마르텐사이트 조직과 레데브라이트, 시멘타이트 조직이 생성되며 고탄소 모재의 탄소 확산으로 인한 부분 혼합영역에서 탄소 합금이 생성되어 균열이 발생하는 등 용접성이 매우 좋지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 주철의 난용접성을 해결하는 방법으로는 고탄소 모재 용접시 발생하는 탄소의 확산을 억제하거나 예열이나 후열 처리를 통한 냉각 속도의 제어하는 방법과 오스테나이트 안정화 원소를 첨가한 필러와이어를 사용하여 용접시 마르텐사이트와 시멘타이트의 성장을 방해하는 방법 등이 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 예열처리나 후열처리를 통한 주철의 용접법은 대량 생산을 통한 원가절감을 노리는 자동차 업계의 특성에 비추어 볼 때 비용이나 프로세스 구성 면에서 적용하는 것이 어려울 것이라 판단하여 Ni-base filler metal을 통한 주철의 용접법을 선택하였고 그 결과 실차에 적용하기 위한 비틀림 강성 테스트나 내구 테스트는 통과하였으나 NVH 테스트 결과 볼팅 체결 방식에 비하여 소음이 커지는 문제가 발생하고 링기어의 HAZ부가 고경화 되는 문제가 발생하였다. 때문에 용입깊이를 초기 시제품인 5mm에서 4mm로 변경시켜 입열량 감소 및 용접변형을 줄여 소음 문제를 해결하고자 하였으며 링기어의 침탄층을 1mm 절삭하여 링기어 HAZ부의 고경화 문제를 해결하고자 하였다. 이러한 용접 구조 변경이 용접변형 및 강성과 피로에 미치는 영향력을 알아보고자 용접 및 열처리 상용 소프트웨어인 SYSWELD, 구조해석 상용소프트웨어인 NX_NASTRAN, 피로 해석 상용 소프트웨어인 FEMFAT을 이용하여 시뮬레이션 하였고 실제 구조 변경한 용접 시제품과 비교, 분석하였다.

In this paper, x-ray image sensor of photon counting type having a $32{\times}32$ pixel array is designed with $0.18{\mu}m$ triple-well CMOS process. Each pixel of the designed image sensor has an area of loot $100{\times}100\;{\mu}m2$ and is composed of about 400 transistors. It has an open pad of an area of $50{\times}50{\mu}m2$ of CSA(charge Sensitive Amplifier) with x-ray detector through a bump bonding. To reduce layout size, self-biased folded cascode CMOS OP amp is used instead of folded cascode OP amp with voltage bias circuit at each single-pixel CSA, and 15-bit LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register) counter clock generator is proposed to remove short pulse which occurs from the clock before and after it enters the counting mode. And it is designed that sensor data can be read out of the sensor column by column using a column address decoder to reduce the maximum current of the CMOS x-ray image sensor in the readout mode.

In this study, a new approach using graphene oxide (GO) powder-composited Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu(in wt.%) solder paste for improving the bending reliability of solder joints between a flexible substrate and small outline package (SOP) was suggested. The GO addition slightly affected the melting temperature, however, the change in the melting temperature was not significant. Meanwhile, we observed the addition of GO could suppress IMC growth and IMC thickness of solder joint during the reflow process. Moreover, the cyclic bending test was also performed for evaluation of reliability in solder joint and we could improve the cyclic bending reliability of solder joint by adding GO powders. For 0.2 wt.% of GO added to the solder joint, the bending lifetime was increased to 20% greater than that without GO. Pull strength and ductility of the solder joint with GO were also higher than those of the joint without GO and it was assumed that this effect by adding GO could contribute to improve cyclic bending reliability of solder joint.

To prepare biomass based nylon 6,5 copolymers, ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactam and 2-piperidone, the monomers of nylon 6,5 copolymers, were synthesized respectively from lysine and 5-aminovaleric acid which were produced from glucose by the fermentation process. The copolymers were then polymerized by the anionic ring opening polymerization of them at $40^{\circ}C$, using potassium tert-butoxide as a catalyst and acetyl-2-caprolactam and carbon dioxide as initiators. The prepared copolymers were characterized with various analytical methods: their viscosity molecular weight ($M_{\eta}$) was as high as 30000 g/mol and polymerization yield was over 50%, and it was found that they were semi-crystalline polymers having melting point at $165^{\circ}C$ which was much lower than its thermal degradation point, $250^{\circ}C$. These polymers were expected to have good thermal processability and application fields.
