The charging of 10-nm-class nanoparticles in an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) according to particle charging ratio has been investigated and compared to the diffusion effect of the nanoparticles. The competition between the charging probability and the diffusion loss effect determines the collection efficiency of nanoparticles in the ESP. The collection efficiency of nanoparticles decreased continuously with decreasing particle diameter. This indicates that the partial charging effect of 10-nm-class nanoparticles is more dominant than their diffusion loss effect in the ESP for nanoparticles in the particle size range of less than 10 nm. The charging ratios based on unipolar diffusion charging calculations were in good agreement with the experimental collection efficiencies for nanoparticles less than 10 nm in diameter.

열필라멘트 화학 기상 증착 공정(HWCVD, hot wire chemical deposition)은 낮은 기판 온도에서 다결정 실리콘 박막을 빠른 속도로 증착할 수 있는 방법이다. 이는 후처리가 없어도 전기적 특성이 우수한 박막을 저온에서 얻을 수 있기 때문에 녹는점이 낮은 기판에 증착을 할 수 있으며 공정비용 절감 효과가 있다. 이러한 박막 증착 공정 중 기상 핵생성에 의해 나노 입자가 생성되며, 새로운 관점에서는 그 농도와 크기가 박막 성장에 중요한 변수로 작용한다. 따라서 공정조건의 변화에 따라 생성되는 나노 입자의 크기 분포를 실시간으로 분석하여 박막 형성의 최적 조건을 찾는 연구가 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 입자 발생 특성에 관한 연구는 기존에 밝혀진 반응 메커니즘으로 인해 수치해석적 연구는 체계적으로 진행되었으나 실험적 연구의 경우 적합한 측정장비의 부재로 인해 제한이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저압에서 실시간으로 나노입자 분포를 측정할 수 있는 PBMS (particle beam mass spectrometer)를 이용하여 열필라멘트 화학 기상 증착 공정 중 발생하는 입자의 존재를 확인하고 특성을 분석하였다. 실리콘 나노 입자의 측정은 PBMS 장비의 전단 부분을 HWCVD 배기 라인에 연결하여 진행하였으며 반응기 내 샘플링 위치, 필라멘트 온도, 챔버 압력, 작동기체의 비율을 변수로 하여 진행하였다. 그 결과 실리콘 나노 입자는 양 또는 음의 극성을 가진 하전된 상태임을 확인 하였고, 측정 조건에 따라 일부 단일 극성으로 존재하였다. 한편, 필라멘트 온도가 증가할수록 하전된 나노입자의 최빈값은 감소하였다. 또한 반응 가스인 SiH4 농도가 증가할수록 최빈값은 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 이런 결과는 기존 HWCVD 실험에서 투과 전자 현미경(TEM)을 이용하여 분석한 실리콘 나노 입자의 크기 분포 결과와 경향이 일치함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 확인된 하전된 나노 입자의 존재를 실험적으로 확인하였으며 추후 지속적 연구에 의해 이러한 하전된 나노 입자가 박막 형성에 기여 하는 것을 규명하고 박막 형성 조건을 최적화하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것을 기대할 수 있다.

최근 나노섬유기술 (NT)과 더불어 전기방사의 중요성이 날로 증가하고 있는데, 전기방사란 고분자 용액 및 용융된 고분자에 고전압을 걸어주어 부직포를 받아주는 collector와 방사되는 tip사이에 전기장을 형성시켜 부직포를 제조하는 방법이다. 전기장의 세기가 고분자 용액의 표면 장력과 같을 경우 전하를 띤 고분자 용액은 tip부분에 맺히게 되며, 고분자가 가지고 있는 표면장력 이상의 전압을 걸어주면 하전된 고분자 방울은 안정되지 못하고 접지 방향으로 분산 (jet form) 하게 된다. (중략)

In proteomics, recent advancements In mass spectrometry technology and in protein extraction and separation technology made high-throughput analysis possible. This leads to thousands to hundreds of thousands of MS/MS spectra per single LC-MS/MS experiment. Such a large amount of data creates significant computational challenges and therefore effective data analysis methods that make efficient use of computational resources and, at the same time, provide more peptide identifications are in great need. Here, SIFTER system is designed to avoid inefficient processing of shotgun proteomic data. SIFTER provides software tools that can improve throughput of mass spectrometry-based peptide identification by filtering out poor-quality tandem mass spectra and estimating a Peptide charge state prior to applying analysis algorithms. SIFTER tools characterize and assess spectral features and thus significantly reduce the computation time and false positive rates by localizing spectra that lead to wrong identification prior to full-blown analysis. SIFTER enables fast and in-depth interpretation of tandem mass spectra.

It was reported by some researchers that two-stage parallel-plate ESPs, commonly called electronic air cleaners, show decreasing behavior of collection efficiency as particle size decreases below about $0.03{\mu}m$. This phenomenon is attributed to partial particle charging characteristics, where some of incoming particles are not charged in the charging cell of 2-stage parallel-plate ESP. One way to improve the decreasing collection efficieny in that particle size range is to enforce particle charging quantity in the charging cell. In the present study, in order to do this a 2-wire series-type charging cell modified from a 1-wire normal-type one was suggested and investigated theoretically and experimentally concerning improvement of the collection efficiency. It was confirmed from the experimental and theoretical works that the collection efficiency was apparently improved.

Also, we present data base status of chemical reaction and physical collision, which has been applied to the recently developed simulator until now. Lastly, some future plans of development are suggested.

본 논문은 고정된 바늘모양의 공기물에 의하여 형성된 불평등전계중에서 뇌임펄스전압에 대한 SF$_{6}$가스의 절연특성과 전구방전진전에 관한 것이다. 하전입자의 이동에 의하여 외부회로에 흐르는 전도전류의 측정방법에 대하여 기술하고 0.05~0.3[MPa]의 압력범위에서 섬락전압-압력특성을 측정하였으며 분류기와 광전자증배관을 사용하여 전구방전의 순시적 진전과정을 관측하였다. 전구방전은 돌기물의 선단에서 발생한 초기스트리머에 의하여 발단되며 정극성의 경우 섬락전압은 국부고전계에 매우 민감하며 리이더메카니즘으로 진전됨이 확인되었다. 전구방전현상의 극성의존성은 공간전하의 영향이 지배적이었다. 더불어 본 연구에서 제안된 전구전류의 측정기법은 불평등전계중에서의 전자사태전류, 코로나방전과 공극내에서의 부분방전의 측정에 매우 유용하게 적용될 것이다.

The minimum structural requirements of R-phenoxy substituents for herbicidal evaluation of O-(2-(R)-phenoxy)-ethyl-N-aralkylcarbamate (1-15) analogues against phytoene desaturase (PDS) based on the three dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationships (3D-QSARs: CoMFA and CoMSIA) were studied quantitatively. The correlativity and predictability ($r^2_{cv.}=0.753$ and $r^2_{ncv.}=0.964$) of the CoMFA 1 model were higher than those of the rest models. The PDS inhibitory activities from the optimized CoMFA 1 model were depend upon the steric field (44.0%), electrostatic field (36.3%), and hydrophobic field (19.6%) of O-(2-(R)-phenoxy)ethyl-Naralkylcarbamate analogues. From the CoMFA contour maps on the structure of the most active compound (5), if it has the steric favor at meta-, para-position on the phenoxy ring, the negative charge favor in meta-position and positive charge favor in the outside part of para-position, the inhibitory activity will be predicted to increase. Also, if ortho-, para-position, and outside of phenoxy ring are hydrophilic favor, and meta-position is hydrophobic favor, it is predicted that the inhibitory activity against PDS will be able to increase.

The X-ray structure of the cydodextrin-glucanotransferase of Bacillus macerans was solved by molecular replacement at 2.0 ${\AA}$ resolution. The refined structure has a crystallographic R-factor of 16.6%, (R$\sub$free/ = 20.5%). A new metal binding site occupied by two Ca$\^$2+/-ions was found at an accession channel of the active site. There is a large accumulation of negative charges that bind these Ca$\^$2+/-ions, thereby connecting segment ${\beta}$13-${\alpha}$G (residue 254-276) to the main body of domain A (at ${\alpha}$H, residue 283-297). The segment 313-${\alpha}$G contains the catalytic residue Glu258 between subsite 1 and -1 and Tyr260 (subsite 2) which is located at the entrance of the active site. The Ca$\^$2＋/-site 3a,b may have a major role for the activity and specificity of this CGTase, although it is not even conserved for the a-subclass of CGTases.

$N_2$ has been one of the most useful gases in industrial application, for example, plasma ashing, surface cleaning and decomposition of pollution gases. In order to clarify $N_2$ plasma properties and increase practical applications, many experimental and theoretical investigations have been carried out until now on. In this papa, we examined the characteristics of $N_2$ RF Plasmas using one-dimensional fluid model. $N_2$ plasmas showed a double-layer structure in both sheath regions as the power source voltage becomes higher. Generally, a double-layer structure should be showed in electro-negative plasmas, but not in electro-postive plasmas such as $N_2$ discharge. However, most electrons in $N_2$ plasmas lost their energy by many excitation reactions in the near of both electrodes where electron collisions were actively executed and such continuous reactions during an RF period made this structure strong with increase of the power source voltage. The dependence of $N_2$ plasma properties on pressure was also discussed.
