적외선 소자의 재료로 쓰이는 액상 에피 성장법(Liquid phase epitaxy: LPE)으로 성장된 HgCdTe (MCT)박막의 Hg 분위기 열처리에 따른 구조적 변화를 고 분해능 투과 전자 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 일반적으로 LPE방법으로 성장된 MCT박막은 성장 방법의 특성상 Te 과다 영역의 성장용액이 사용되므로 상온 냉각 과정에서 박막 내 국부적인 Te 석출물을 형성 시킬 가능성이 높다. 또한, 성장 과정시 높은 Hg 증기압으로 인해 Hg-vacancy가 존재하므로 품질을 저하시키는 요인이 된다. 따라서, 본 실험에서는 Hg-vacancy와 국부적인 Te 석출물의 제거를 위해 Hg 분위기 열처리 공정을 실시하여 박막의 결정성 변화 및 국부적인 조성 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험결과, 열처리에 따른 Hg의 박막 내 공급으로 인한 이차상의 형성 등이 관찰 되었으며 부피 팽창으로 인해 격자의 변형이 관찰 되었다. 이는 투과 전자 현미경의 고 분해능 이미지 와 Gaussian mask filtering 기법으로 보여진 격자 줄무늬상 (lattice fringe)으로 확인 하였다. 또한, 열처리에 따른 국부적인 조성 편기의 해소는 high angle annular dark field scanning TEM(HAADF-STEM)을 이용하여 관찰 하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant activity, fibrinolytic activity and cytotoxic effect of Korean traditional noble rice wine made using different methods (A-C) and commercial rice wine (D-H) on various tumor cell lines. The antioxidant activity of rice wine was measured by DPPH (2,2-dipicryl-1-picrylhydrazyl), ABTS [2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid)] and NO (nitric oxide) radical scavenging assay. In this study, Samhaeju showed the greatest fibrinolytic activity of 13-17U and exhibited the highest antioxidant activity. Among the different Samhaeju, the sample prepared using method C had the highest antioxidant activity. The cytotoxic effect of rice wine were also examined against the human cancer cell line (A549 cells and HeLa cells) based on the results of a WST-1 assay and morphological changes. Rice wine induced the inhibition of cell proliferation and morphological changes in tumor cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner, with Samhaeju diluted 10 fold having the strongest effect on these factors. These findings suggest that Korean rice wine has antioxidant activity and cytotoxic effect, and that these factors are influenced by the method of preparation.

The rheological properties of Wyoming bentonites are strongly influenced by the size of particles, cation exchangeable capacity, arrangement and morphology of clay mineral. This paper presents the results of rheological investigations on the Wyoming bentonites aqueous dispersions: two types of particle flocculation were considered. For the Wyoming bentonite, 0g/L and 30g/L NaCl equivalent salinity were added in fresh and salt water to examine the rheological behavior. This paper examined the general rheological characteristics, compatibility of rheological models and correlation between soil structure and change in rheological properties of Wyoming bentonite caused by increasing salinity. From flow curves of bentonites hydrated with fresh water and salt water, the observed general flow behavior is very close to shear thinning with yield stress (or ideal Bingham fluid with yield stress and plastic viscosity). However, the change of shear stress at the same shear rate is clear, particularly for lower shear rate. Well-known rheological models are used to fit the data. There is a good agreement between rheological model and data: Carreau, Herschel-Bulkley and power-law for S=0g/L and bilinear, Herschel-Bulkley and power-law for S=30g/L. It may be due to the fact that the internal structural bonding (strong modification of particle-particle interactions from edge-to-edge and/or edge-to-face to face-to-face) in soil matrix is affected from the evolution of rheological properties with different salinities.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is caused by chronic lipid accumulation due to dysregulation of lipid metabolism in the liver, and it is associated with various human diseases such as obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and diabetes. Histone acetylation is a representative epigenetic mechanism regulated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and deacetylases. We observed that tartary buckwheat sprout (TBS) suppressed lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells through its anti-HAT activity. We showed that TBS was a novel HAT inhibitor with specificity for the major HAT enzyme p300. Importantly, TBS reduced acetylation of total and histone proteins, H3K9, H3K36, and H4K8, resulting in decreased transcriptional activities of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c, ATP citrate lyase, and fatty acid synthase. These results suggest that TBS inhibits the NAFLD transcription-modulating activity of lipogenesis-related genes through modification of histone acetylation.

Recently, steel structures have increasingly been required to have sufficient deformability because they are subjected to progressive or abrupt displacement arising from structure loading itself, earthquake, and ground movement in their service environment. In this study, high-strength low-carbon bainitic steel specimens with enhanced deformability were fabricated by varying thermo-mechanical control process conditions consisting of controlled rolling and accelerated cooling, and then tensile and Charpy V-notch impact tests were conducted to investigate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties such as strength, deformability, and low-temperature toughness. Low-temperature transformation phases, i.e. granular bainite (GB), degenerate upper bainite(DUB), lower bainite(LB) and lath martensite(LM), together with fine polygonal ferrite(PF) were well developed, and the microstructural evolution was more critically affected by start and finish cooling temperatures than by finish rolling temperature. The steel specimens start-cooled at higher temperature had the best combination of strength and deformability because of the appropriate mixture of fine PF and low-temperature transformation phases such as GB, DUB, and LB/LM. On the other hand, the steel specimens start-cooled at lower temperature and finish-cooled at higher temperature exhibited a good low-temperature toughness because the interphase boundaries between the low-temperature transformation phases and/or PF act as beneficial barriers to cleavage crack propagation.

The extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber sensor shows good sensitivity and resolution, and has many advantages over optical fiber sensors of other types. However, this EFPI optical fiber sensor has a disadvantage that the distinction of measuring directions is difficult due to the measurement method by using only fringe counting. In this paper, the transmission-type extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (TEFPI) optical fiber sensor was developed, which has been improved by the additional function and whose measuring system is different from that of the conventional EFPI optical fiber sensor. Then the application result of the TEFPI optical fiber sensor to the strain and temperature measurement was explained in detail.

A wavelength-demodulation algorithm for FBG sensor is proposed by using a double-pass Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Zero-crossing points of double-passed interference signal are used to trigger the accurate $90^{\circ}C$ phase difference positions in the sensor signal, which is an essential condition in the subsequent arctangent and phase unwrapping signal processing. With the proposed method, we could efficiently measure various measurands, such as dynamic-, static-strain, and temperature, and ${\sim}8pm$ of wavelength resolution was obtained.

ETL(Extraction, Transformation, Loading)작업은 데이터웨어하우스 시스템 구축 및 유지관리 뿐만 아니라 차세대 정보시스템 구축의 핵심 프로세스에 해당한다. 특히 차세대 정보시스템 구축에 있어서 ETL 작업의 성능은 시스템오픈의 성패를 좌우하는 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 차세대시스템 구축의 데이터 전환을 위해 수행되는 ETL작업은 대용량데이터에 대한 다양한 형태의 데이터변형 과정을 수반하며 반드시 정해진 시간안에 완료되어야 한다. 또한, 수 많은 원천 집합을 추출하여 타겟시스템의 형태에 맞게 변형 및 적재하는 작업은 한정된 컴퓨팅 자원내에서 수행되어야 한다. 따라서 자원성능을 고려한 ETL작업 스케줄 최적화는 데이터전환 작업에 있어 필수적인 고려사항이 된다. 이 연구에서는 가용한 물리자원을 최대한 활용하여 ETL 프로세스의 처리능(throughput)을 최대화 하는데 초점을 맞추어, ETL프로세스를 페트리넷을 이용해 모델링하는 기법을 제시한다. 이 모델에는 ETL 프로세스가 수행될 서버의 컴퓨팅자원이 토큰화(tokenize)되어 포함된다. 이 모델을 기반으로 가용자원을 최대한 활용하면서도 자원병목이 발생하지 않는 수준으로 ETL 작업이 수행될 수 있도록 프로세스를 제어할 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

Defects that occur during the manufacturing process or operation of a wind turbine blade have a great influence on its life and safety. Typically, defects such as delamination, pore, wrinkle and matrix crack are found in a blade. In this study, the detectability of the pores, a type of defect that frequently occur during manufacturing, was examined from the full field strain distribution determined with the image correlation technique. Pore defects were artificially introduced in four-ply laminated GFRP composites with $0^{\circ}/{\pm}45^{\circ}$ fiber direction. The artificial pores were introduced in consideration of their size and location. Three different-sized pores with diameter of 1, 2 and 3 mm were located on the top and bottom surface and embedded. By applying static loads of 0-200 MPa, the strain distributions over the specimen with the pore defects were determined using image correlation technique. It was found the pores with diameter exceeding 2 mm can be detected in diameter.
