최근에 고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC) 연료극 조건에서 우수한 상 안정성, 높은 혼합 전자/이온 전도도 및 황/탄소 저항성 때문에 yttrium-doped strontium titanium oxide (Y-doped SrTiO3)가 대체 연료극 재료로 주목을 받아 왔다. 그러나 Y-doped SrTiO3는 연료 산화에 대해서 기존의 Ni 계열 연료극보다 낮은 전기화학적 활성을 보이는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 효율적인 Y-doped SrTiO3 계열의 연료극 재료를 개발하기 위해서는 Y-doped SrTiO3의 연료극 특성 및 반응성의 이해가 필수적이다. 본 발표에서는 SOFC 연료극에서 수소 산화 반응성을 결정함에 있어 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지의 역할에 대한 spin-polarized DFT (density functional theory) 결과를 발표할 예정이다. 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지는 수소 산화 반응[H2+O (surface) ${\rightarrow}$ OH+OH ${\rightarrow}$ H2O+O (vacancy)]과 밀접한 관계가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Y-doped SrTiO3의 표면을 3d-전이금속을(Sc, V, Cr, Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu) 도핑함으로써 표면 산소 vacancy 형성 에너지를 제어할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

The immobilization of proteins on silicon surfaces using electrochemical reaction has been studied. Chemical deposition of nitrobenzendiazonium (NiBD) cations is employed to modify silicon surfaces. Electrochemical reduction of nitro-group to primary amine-group have been conducted on the modified surfaces to activate silicon surfaces for the protein immobilization. Attachment of gold nanoparticles was used to prove the reduction. The current method was applied to selective activation of a silicon nanowire and immobilize proteins on the selected nanowire. It has been demonstrated that the use of chemical and electrochemical reaction NiBD is efficient for the selective immobilization of proteins on silicon nanowire surfaces.

Optimal shape of a typical ramjet intake is examined numerically to maximize the total pressure recovery. A response surface method is introduced to approximately predict its performance with respect to the design parameters over the each design domain. The first deflection angle of ramp, the area of inlet throat, and the diffuser angle are chosen as a design parameter. ANOVA is used to verify the trustability of the achieved response surface. The total pressure recovery of the optimum model, compared to that of the base model, is increased by 36%. The loss of viscosity through the diffuser is estimated less than 5%.

현재 전 세계 태양광 시장의 주류를 이루는 단결정 실리콘 태양전지의 효율적 한계를 뛰어넘기 위하여 여러 가지 기술적 구조적 시도들이 이루어지고 있다. 그 중 기존의 피라미드 형태의 텍스쳐링 표면 대신 나노와이어 형상을 가지는 태양전지 개발이 주목을 받고 있다. 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면에 나노와이어가 수직 배열되어 있거나 텍스쳐링 표면에 나노와이어 형상이 있을 경우 SiNx가 증착된 피라미드 텍스쳐링 표면보다 반사도가 월등히 낮아져 light trapping을 기대할 수 있어 태양전지 개발에 응용하기 위한 나노와이어 형상 최적화에 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 실리콘 나노와이어 합성법에는 여러가지 방법들이 있으나 본 연구에서는 비교적 짧은 시간과 상온에서 공정이 이루어지는 무전해 식각법을 이용하여 실리콘 나노와이어를 합성하였다. 무전해 식각법은 은 이온과 실리콘 사이에서 일어나는 산화-환원 반응이 나노와이어 합성의 주요 기전이기 때문에 균일한 나노와이어를 형성하기 위하여 균일한 은 박막 형성과 적절한 반응시간이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 반응시간을 조절하여 나노와이어의 길이 변화와 반사도의 변화를 FE-SEM과 UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy를 통하여 관찰하였고 그 결과 나노와이어가 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면에 수직 배열되어 있는 형태와 텍스쳐링 표면에 나노와이어 형상이 있는 경우 SiNx가 증착된 피라미드 텍스쳐링 표면에 비해 월등히 향상된 반사율을 얻을 수 있었다.

As a fundamental study to apply the new flocculation method using ballast in water treatment process, the optimal conditions for general and ballast coagulant dosage, and pH, which are known to have a significant influence, were derived by response surface methodology. Poly aluminum chloride (PAC) and magnetite ballast were used as a general coagulant and ballast, respectively. Coagulation experiments were performed by jar-tester using the kaolin based synthetic water. The effects of three independent variables (pH, PAC, and ballast) on response variables (turbidity removal rate and average settling velocity of flocs) and the optimum condition of independent variables to induce the optimum flocculation were obtained by 17 experimental conditions designed by Box-Behnken procedure. After performing experiments, the quadratic regression model was derived for each of response variables, and the response surface analysis was conducted to explore the correlation between independent variables and response variables. The $R^2$ values for the turbidity removal rate and the average settling velocity were 0.9909 and 0.8295, respectively. The optimal conditions of independent variables were 7.4 of pH, 38 mg/L of PAC and 1,000 mg/L of ballast. Under these conditions, the turbidity removal rate was more than 97% and the average settling velocity exceeded 35 m/h.

중심합성계획(central composite design: ccd)은 반응 표면이 곡면적인 특성을 나타낼때 반응 공간을 추정하기 위해 사용되는 실험계획이다. 반응공간이 2차 회귀모형으로 나타나는 경우에 반응곡면의 변화량을 알기 위해서는 변수의 수준이 3이상이 되어야하는데 ccd는 적은 횟수의 실험으로 곡면을 효과적으로 추정하기 위해 2$^{k}$ 요인실험에 추가적으로 중심점(central point)과 축점(axial point)을 표본점에 포함시키는 계획이다. 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 실험에서 반응변수가 2차 회귀모형으로 근사되는 경우에 cod를 이용하여 관심 성과치의 반응표면을 추정하고자 한다. 일반적인 실험에서와는 달리 시뮬레이션 실험에서는 두개의 표본점(인자 수준의 조합)에서 분석자가 공통 난수계열(common random number series)을 부여하여 시뮬레이션 시스템 요소의 변화과정을 유사하게 통제할 수 있다. 일반적으로 공통난수법(common random number method)에 의해 얻어지는 두 표본점에서의 반응변수는 서로 양의 상관관계를 가지며 대조 난수(antithetic random number)에 의한 두 반응변수는 음의 상관성을 가지는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구는 ccd의 표본점에 공통난수와 대조난수 법을 이용하여 회귀모형의 파라미터를 효과적으로 추정하는 방법을 조사하고 이를 (s, S) 재고관리 모형에 적용하여 그 효율성을 평가하고자 한다.

Various Mn-oxides can oxidize Cr(III) to Cr(VI). Behaviors of chromium species in the oxidation system, especially on the oxide surface, are expected to control the reaction. During Cr(III) oxidation by birnessite and pyrolusite, Cr species in the reaction system were determined to elucidate their effects on the oxidation. Capacities of Cr oxidation of the two Mn-oxides were quite different. Solution pH and initial Cr(III) concentration also had significant effects on the Cr(III) oxidation by Mn-oxides. Chromium oxidation by pyrolusite was less than 5% of the oxidation by birnessite. The high crystallinity of pyrolusite could be one of the reasons and the difficulty of Cr (III) diffusion to the positive pyrolusite surface and Cr(VI) and Cr(III) adsorption seems to be other controlling factors. At pH 3, adsorption or precipitation of Cr species on the surface of birnessite were not found. Small amount of Cr(VI) adsorption was found on the surface of pyrolusite, but arty Cr precipitation on the oxide surface was not found. Therefore Cr(III) oxidation at pH 3 seems to be controlled mainly by the characteristics of Mn-oxides. Chromiun oxidation by Mn-oxides is thermodynamically more favorable at higher solution pH. However as solution pH increased Cr oxidation by birnessite was significantly inhibited. For Cr oxidation by pyrolusite, as pH increased the oxidation increased, but as Cr(III) addition increased the reaction was inhibited. Under these conditions some unidentified fraction of Cr species was found and this fraction is considered to be Cr(III) precipitation an the oxide surface. Chromium(III) precipitation on the oxide surface seems to play an important role in limiting Cr(III) oxidation by armoring the reaction surface on Mn-oxides as well as lowering Cr(III) concentration available for the oxidation reaction.

This research was performed to investigate the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the stain removal in japanese hackberry. Response surface method (RSM) was used to optimize the bleaching conditions such as reaction temperature, reaction time and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide. Fifteen different bleaching conditions were selected according to $2^3$ factorial central composite design (CCD). The bleaching effect were evaluated by lightness differences of wood surface before and after the bleaching. The RSM model was determined and its $R^2$ values were 0.93, showing it well represented the bleaching effect. The most affecting factor on the stain removal was the concentration of hydrogen peroxide, followed by reaction time and reaction temperature. Second degree of concentration was proved to have an effect on the bleaching. Bleaching rates above 3% concentrations of hydrogen peroxide were tended to be slightly decreased, and low bleaching effect was found at $20^{\circ}C$. The determined RSM model may offer very practical ways to obtain the desired levels of bleaching because it offers multiple solutions.

In the implant prosthetic procedure, the soft tissue reaction was varied with the material and surface treatment of the abutment. It may be the cause of the peri-implantitis, and hence it can affect the long-term prognosis of the implant prosthesis. Titania and zirconia abutment presented superior biocompatibility and stable soft tissue reaction, while gold alloy abutment showed unfavorable reaction sometimes. A soft tissue reaction can be differed by the surface characteristics even in the same material type. Because rougher surface induces a bacterial attachment, the part contacting a soft tissue should have smooth surface. Additional surface treatment can enhance the cellular response without increasing bacterial attachment. Repeated removal and insertion of the abutment and the shape of the abutment may affect the soft tissue reaction, also. Ultrasonic cleaning and argon plasma cleaning are effective way to clean the retained micro-dust on the customized abutment.

Surface structure and adhesion by the reaction between thin metal films and SiC were studied at temperatures between 550 and $1450^{\circ}C$ for various times. The reaction with the formation of various silicides was initially observed above $850^{\circ}C$ for SiC/Co system and $650^{\circ}C$ for SiC/Ni system. The cobalt reacted with SiC and consumed completely at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 h and the nickel at $950^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The observed CoSi phase in SiC/Co and Ni$_2$Si phase in SiC/Ni are thermodynamically stable in the reaction zone up to 125$0^{\circ}C$ and $1050^{\circ}C$ respectively. Carbon was crystallized as graphite above $1450^{\circ}C$ for SiC/Co reaction surface and $1250^{\circ}C$ for SiC/Ni. The critical loads of the thin metal films on SiC substrate were qualitatively compared in terms of the scratch test method. At temperatures between 850 and $1050^{\circ}C$, relatively higher values of 20~33 N were observed for SiC/Ni couples.
