화석연료의 남용으로 지구 온난화가 심화되어 환경과 생태계변화가 가속화되고 있고, 급속한 산업의 발달과 인류 삶의 질 향상에 따른 에너지 수요가 급증하고 있는 실정에 있으며, 일본 후쿠시마 원전사태로 원자력 에너지의 위험성으로 지구 인류환경은 심각한 국면을 맞이 하고 있어 대체 에너지의 하나로 핵융합 에너지 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 핵융합 에너지 연구 개발은 우리나라에서 KSTAR가 1997년부터 건설하기 시작하여 지난 2007년에 완공되어 지금 운용 중에 있고, 국제적으로 미국, EU, 러시아, 중국, 한국, 일본 인도가 참여하는 ITER 국제 공동프로젝트가 2004년에 건설을 시작하여 프랑스 카다라쉬에 실증 플란트를 건설 중에 있다. 이러한 핵융합 반응을 위해서는 10e-7이상의 높은 진공과 1억$^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 중수소와 삼중수소가 반응하여 발생하는 플라즈마를 제어 할 필요가 있으며, 초고온의 핵융합 플라즈마를 가두고 가동시키기 위해서는 약 12Tesla이상의 고자장 마그넷이 필요하다. 현재 ITER 실증 플란트에 사용되는 고자장 마그넷은 TF (Toroidal Field)코일과 CS (Central Field)코일에 Nb3Sn 초전도선재가 핵심부품으로 사용되고 있으며 ITER프로젝트에서는 약 850톤의 Nb3Sn 초전도선재가 사용될 전망이다. 그 중에서 일본 25%, EU, 러시아와 한국이 각각 20%, 중국7%, 미국8% 할당되어 참여국 대부분은 초전도선재를 전략적으로 공급하고 있다. 초전도 선재의 크롬도금은 1~2 마이크로미터 이하의 균일하고 얇은 도금 두께와 밀착성이 우수한 품질이 요구된다. 일반적으로 크롬도금은 산업현장에서 컨베이어 벨트 방식으로 장식이나, 내식성 및 내마모성의 특성을 필요로 할 때 사용되고 있으나, 선재에 크롬도금을 릴투릴(Reel to Reel) 방식으로 적용되는 경우는 세계적으로 아주 드물다. 핵융합 마그넷의 CICC(Conduct In Cable Conduit)도체를 만들기 위해서는 초전도선재를 이용, 3(Sc 2+OFC 1)$^*3^*5^*5^*6$형태로 연선과 케이블링을 하게 되며, 초전도 선재를 연선하고 케이블링을 할 때 크롬 도금층이 박리될 가능성이 있어 크롬도금 방법과 프로세스를 특별히 고안할 필요가 있다. ITER핵융합로 마그넷의 TF코일은 높이 14m, 폭 9m 최대자장 12Tesla, 최대전류 68kA, CICC도체 직경이 40mm로서 그 초전도 조관/도체 내부에 0.82mm 직경의 Nb3Sn 초전도 선재가 약 1350가닥으로 연선과 케이블링으로 구성되어 있다. ITER 핵융합 마그넷용 초전도 선재의 크롬도금은 마그넷 권선 후 Nb3Sn 초전도물질을 형성하기 위해서 $650^{\circ}C$에서 500시간 열처리를 실시하며 열처리 시 초전도 선재의 소선들 사이에 발생할 수 있는 소착을 방지하고, 초전도 선재에서 발생하는 AC loss를 감소시키며, Quench시 발생되는 열을 쉽게 확산시킴으로써, 초전도 마그넷의 열적 안정성(Thermal Stability) 향상과 필요에 따라서 소선간 통전울 가능하게 한다. 고려제강의 자회사인 케이에이티는 크롬도금 밀착성이 우수하고 도금두께 0.1마이크로 미터 이내 제어가 가능한 얇고 균일한 도금품질을 개발하여 한국형 핵융합 실험로인 KSTAR에 65톤 전량 공급하였고, 크롬 도금된 무산소동 선재 32톤과 초전도 선재 93톤을 전량 ITER 프로젝트에 공급하고 있으며, 2013년도 상반기에는 공급을 마무리할 예정이다.

The x-values of the nonstoichiometric compound YbO$_x$ have been measured in a temperature range of 600 to 1150$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 1.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-2}$ atm∼atmospheric air pressure. The values are varied between 1.55453 and 1.60794 in the conditions. The enthalpy of the formation for x' in YbO$_{1.5＋x'}$(${\Delta}$H$_f$) was 1.55, 1.18, and 1.05 kJ/mol under the above conditions, respectively. The electrical conductivities of the oxides or ${\sigma}$ have been measured in the temperature range from 600 to 1100$^{\circ}C$ under oxygen partial pressure of 1.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-5}$ ∼ 2.00 ${\times}$ 10$^{-1}$ atm. They varied from 10$^{-9}$ to 10$^{-5}$ ohm$^{-1}$ cm$^{-1}$ within the semiconductor range. The Arrhenius plots of the electrical conductivities show a linearity and the activation energy for the conduction was about 1.7eV. The oxygen partial pressure dependence of the conductivity or 1/n value increases with the pressure. The nonstoichiometric conduction mechanism of the oxide was discussed in terms of the x values, ${\sigma}$ values, and the thermodynamic data.

A series of samples in the $Nd_{-x}Sr_{x}CoO_{3-y}$ system (x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00) have been produced by heating the reactants at 1200${\circ}$C under atmospheric pressure. The solid solutions were analysed by X-ray diffraction spectra, thermal analysis, and SEM micrographs. X-ray powder diffraction assigns the compositions of x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 to the cubic system and the composition of x = 1.00 to the orthorhombic system. The reduced lattice volume is increased with increasing x values in the system. The mole ratio of $Co^{4+}$ or ${\tau}$ values are determined by the Iodometric titration method and are maximum at the composition of x = 0.50. The magnetic measurement shows that a ferromagnetism is appeared in the compositions of x = 0.00, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 and then an antiferromagnetism in the composition of x = 1.00. The measurement of the electrical conductivity shows that the semiconductivity is appeared in the composition of x = 0.00, 0.25 and 1.00 and the metallic conductivity in the composition of x = 0.50 and 0.75. The magnetic and electrical properties of the samples are discussed with the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas.

Nowadays the weapon systems are employed air bursting munition (ABM) as smart programmable 40 mm shells which have been developed in order to hit the target with programmed munition that can be air burst after a set distance in the battlefield. In order to improve the accuracy of such a bursting time, by measuring the speed of the munition from the barrel, weapon systems calculate the exact time of flight to the target and then the time information must be inputted to the munition. In this study, we introduce a device capable of detecting a shot at K4 40 mm automatic grenade. The shot is composed of a rotating copper band to convert linear motion into rotary motion when it passes through the barrel, the steel section is exert the effect of fragment and aluminum section to give fuze information. The aluminum section was used to detect munition using eddy current method. To measure muzzle velocity by means of non-contact method, two eddy current probes separated 10 cm was employed. Time interval between two eddy current probe detection times was used as muzzle velocity. The eddy current probe was fabricated U-shape Mn-Zn ferrite core with enamelled copper wire, and 200 kHz alternating current was used to detect inductance change. Measured muzzle velocity using the developed sensor was compared to the Doppler radar system. The difference was smaller than 1%.

Objectives : Acupuncture is frequently used as an alternative therapy for Parkinson's disease(PD) in Korea. Using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease mouse model, the present study investigated a possible role of acupuncture stimulation at GB34 in suppressing dopaminergic neuronal death and regulating the phosphorylation of protein kinase B(Akt) in substantia nigra(SN) and striatum(ST). Methods : Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were administered intraperitoneally with 30 mg/kg of MPTP at 24-h intervals for 5 days. Acupuncture stimulation at GB34 or SI3 was performed once a day for 12 days consecutively from the first MPTP injection. After the last acupuncture stimulation, pole test was performed to assess the effect of the acupuncture stimulations. Dopaminergic neuronal survival in the SN and the ST, dopamine transporter( DAT) and caspase-3 expression in the ST were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The phosphorylations of Akt in the SN and the ST were measured by Western blotting. Results : MPTP administration caused behavioral impairment and dopaminergic neuronal death in the SN and the ST. It also decreased DAT expression and increased caspase-3 expression in the ST. Acupuncture stimulation at GB34 alleviated these MPTP-induced impairments. Moreover, MPTP suppressed Akt phosphorylation in the SN and the ST, whereas acupuncture stimulation at GB34 alleviated the phosphorylation in the SN. Conclusions : These results indicate that acupuncture stimulation at GB34 can inhibit MPTP-induced dopaminergic neuronal death and alleviate the Akt phosphorylation in the SN, suggesting a possible role for acupuncture in the treatment of PD.
