최근 UV LED는 생화학 및 의료 산업에서 많은 각광을 받고 있다. 특히, 360nm 이하의 파장대를 갖는 UV LED는 치료 기술, 센서, 물이나 공기 등의 정화와 같은 목적으로 특별한 관심이 쏠리고 있다 [1]. 이러한 지속적인 연구를 통하여 현재까지 UV LED는 거대한 성장을 이루어 왔다. 하지만 이러한 노력에도 불구하고, 360 nm 이하의 UV LED는 여전히 오믹 접촉과 전류 분산이 원활하지 못하다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이것은 UV LED의 외부 양자 효율을 감소시키고, 더 나아가 극도로 낮은 광 추출 효율을 초래한다. 최근 이러한 문제를 해결하고자, 투명 전도성 산화물(TCO)을 금속 전극과 p-AlGaN 사이에 삽입해주는데, 현재 가장 널리 사용되는 TCO 물질은 ITO 이다 [2]. 하지만 ITO 물질은 상대적으로 작은 밴드갭(3.3~4.3 eV)과 단파장 빛이 가지는 큰 에너지로 인하여 deep-UV 영역에서는 빛이 투과하지 못하고 대부분 흡수된다 [3]. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 박막형 ITO 투명 전극에 비해 투과도 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 mesh, grid 기반의 투명전극을 연구하였다. Fig. 1과 같이 $5{\mu}m$, $10{\mu}m$, $20{\mu}m$ 간격으로 이루어진 mesh, grid 구조의 투명전극을 구현하여 투과도 손실을 최소화하면서 우수한 전기적 특성을 확보하기 위한 구조 최적화 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구를 위해 mesh, grid 구조의 ITO 전극 패턴을 photolitho 공정으로 형성하였으며, e-beam 증착법으로 60 nm 두께의 ITO 전극을 형성 후 질소 분위기/$650^{\circ}$에서 30초 동안 RTA 공정을 진행하였다. Fig. 1에서 볼 수 있듯이 mesh, grid의 간격이 증가할수록 투명 전극이 차지하는 면적이 감소하여 투과도는 향상되는 반면, 투명 전극과 p-GaN과의 접촉 면적 또한 감소하므로 오믹 특성이 저하된다. 따라서 투과도 손실을 최소화하면서 우수한 전기적 특성을 확보하기 위해 mesh는 $20{\mu}m$, grid는 $10{\mu}m$ 간격의 구조로 각각 최적화하였다. 그 결과 박막 기반의 ITO 투명전극 대비 최대 약 10% 향상된 투과도를 확보하였으며, I-V Curve 결과를 통하여 p-GaN 기판과 mesh 구조의 ITO 전극 사이에 박막 기반의 투명 전극과 비슷한 수준인 $0.35{\mu}A(@5V)$의 전기적 특성을 확보하였다. 결과적으로 mesh, grid 기반 투명전극의 구조 최적화를 통하여 p-GaN과 원활한 오믹 접촉을 형성하는 동시에 기존 박막형 ITO 투명 전극 구조보다 높은 투과도를 확보할 수 있었다.

Recently, waste gas incineration is increasing due to strong environmental regulatory system in Korea. These incinerating facilities are usually connected with the top of the storage tank through pipeline and incinerate off gas with the flame. Therefore, the flame originated from these facilities is likely to move back into pipeline and might cause an explosion of the storage tank. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to suggest the preventive measures and the way to improve the safety of these incineration systems through the cause analysis of a major industrial accident occurred in a acrylic acid manufacturing process in Korea. As a result of the study, the preventive measures are suggested as follows. (1) Air or inert gas inflow facilities should be well designed to dilute flammable gases into air or inert gas sufficiently before the blower is restarted in order to prevent the explosion (2) It is needed for the detonation-type flame arresters to be installed on the top of the storage tanks. (3) In case of using the deflagration-type flame arresters, it is necessary to install a rupture disk before the arresters, or blow off the flame outside tanks by connecting the tank top and the incinerator with hood-type pipe. (4) TDR should be installed to be restarted automatically after the momentary power failure.

The wastewaters from textile and dyeing industries are difficult to treat due to its high pH, temperature, color intensity and non-biodegradable organic contents. This study investigated the removal of recalcitrant organics in a dyeing wastewater by using a packed bed reactor (PBR) that contained cell-immobilized pellets. The feed, obtained from an effluent of a biological treatment plant, had $SCOD_{Cr}$ of 330 mg/L and $SBOD_5$ of 20 mg/L on average. In immobilizing the cells to a Polyethylene Glycol(PEG) based medium, activated sludges from either a sewage treatment plant or an industrial wastewater treatment plant were used. When the empty bed contact time (EBCT) was above 8 hrs in the PBR, the $COD_{Cr}$ removal efficiency was over 50% and the $COD_{Mn}$ concentration was 72 mg/L or lower on average, which was substantially lower than the discharge standard of 90 mg/L. The results indicated that the optimum EBCT in the PBR was 8 hrs. The PBR with cell-immobilized pellets was effective as an advanced treatment process after an activated sludge process for treating dyeing wastewaters.

As the information age grows rapidly, the amount of digital texts has been increasing as well. It has brought an increasing of visualization case in order to figure out lots of digital texts. Existing visualized design of digital text is merely concentrating on figuration of subject word through adoption of stemming algorithm and word frequency extraction, prominence of meaning of text, and connection in between sentences. So it is a fact that expression of rhythm that can visualize sentimental feeing of digital text was insufficient. Syllable is a phoneme unit that can express rhythm more efficiently. In sentences, syllable is a most basic pronunciation unit in pronouncing word, phase and sentence. On this basis, accent, intonation, length of rhythm factor and others are based on syllable. Sonority, which is most closely associated with definitions of syllable, is expressed through air flow of igniting lung and acoustic energy that is specified kinetic energy into sonority. Seen from this perspective, this study examines phonologic definition and characteristics based on syllable, which is properties of digital text, and research the way to visualize rhythm through diagram. After converting digital text into phonetic symbol by the experiment, rhythm information are visualized into images using degree of resonance, which was started from rhythm in all languages, and using syllable establishment of digital text. By visualizing syllable information, it provides syllable information of digital text and express sentiment of digital text through diagram to assist user's understanding by systematic formula. Therefore, this study is aimed at planning for easy understanding of text's rhythm and realizing visualization of digital text.

We report the surface distribution of metal (Ag, Au) nanoparticles grown on polarity-patterned ferroelectric substrates by photochemical reaction. Single crystal periodically polarity-patterned $LiNbO_3$(PPLN) was used as a ferroelectric substrate. The nanoparticles were grown by ultra-violet (UV) light exposure of the PPLN in the aqueous solutions including metas. The surface distribution of the grown nanoparticles were measured by atomic force microscopy and identification of the orientation of the polarity of the ferroelectric surface was performed by piezoelectric force microscopy. The Ag- and Au-nanoparticles grown on +z polarity regions are larger and denser than that on -z polarity regions. In particlur, the largest and denser Ag-nanoparticles were grwon on the polarity boundary regions of the PPLN while Au-nanoparticles were not specifically grown on the boundary regions. Thus, we found that the size and position of metal nanoparticles grown on ferroelectric surfaces can be controlled by UV-exposure time and polarity pattern structures. Also, we discuss the difference of the surface distribution of the metal nano-particles depending on the polarity of the ferroelectric surfaces in terms of surface band structures, reduced work fucntion, and inhomogeneous electric field distribution.

In this study, to produce Flammulina velutipes mushroom liquid spawn efficiently and effectively the effects of explosive aeration (supplying air with tiny bubbles) of the liquid culture medium on carbon dioxide concentration and residual sugar content in the medium on carbon dioxide concentration and residual sugar contentin the medium were measured. Carbon dioxide concentrations were measured at the outlet of the incubator. On the third day the explosive aeration greatly increased mycelial growth of the liquid spawn, and carbon dioxide concentration also greatly increased but decreased after 5 days. Free sugar contents in the liquid culture consistantly decreased up to 7 days and thereafter was not detected. The weight of the mycelia were maintained similar levels after 3 days. Total nitrogen content in the liquid medium constantly decreased during the 11days of explosive aeration. The content of free sugars in 7 days of culture was the lowest level, thus the inoculum incubated for 6~7 days was thought to be the most effective. Carbon dioxide concentration measurement at the outlet of the container during the liquid spawn incubation required low cost but was efficient to estimate the degree of mycelial growth to be used as a simple indicator.

Dielectric properties, piezoelectric properties and mechanical properties of NiO-doped Pb($(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3-PbZrO_3$ ceramics were investigated. Powders, prepared by columbite precursor method, were cold pressed and sintered at temperature ranging from $1100^{\circ}C$ to $1250^{\circ}C$. Dielectric constant and piezoelectric constant increased with amount of NiO up to 1 mol% and then decreased with further addition of NiO. It seems that NiO acts as a sintering aid at the sintering temperatures of $1150^{\circ}C$. When the samples were sintered at temperature above $1200^{\circ}C$, however, both dielectric constant and electromechanical coupling factor decreased and mechanical quality coefficient increased with addition of NiO. Hardness and fracture toughness of PNN-PT-PZ increased with addition of NiO up to 1 mol%, and then decreased slightly with further addition of NiO. These results showed that dielectric properties, piezoelectric properties and mechanical properties of PNN-PT-PZ system seemed to be closely related with microstructural factors such as grain size, bulk density and the amount of second phase.

The mechanical seals, which are installed in rotating machines like pump and compressor, are generally used as sealing devices in the many fields of industries. The failure of mechanical seals such as leakage, crack, breakage, fast and severe wear, excessive torque, and squeaking results in big problems. To identify abnormal phenomena on mechanical seals and to propose the proper monitoring parameter for the failure of mechanical seals, sliding wear experiments were conducted. Acoustic emission, torque, and temperature were measured during experiments. Optical microstructure was observed for the wear processing after every 10 minute sliding at rotation speed of 1750 rpm and scanning electron microscopy was also observed. Except for the initial part of every experiment, the variation of acoustic emission was well coincided with torque variation during the experiments. This study concludes that acoustic emission and torque are proper monitoring parameters for the failure of mechanical seals. The intensity of acoustic emission signals is measured in root mean square voltage. Temperature of sealing face will be used as a parallel parameter for increasing the reliability of monitoring system.

The 8mol.%Y$_2$$O_3$-$ZrO_2$mainly employed as an electrolyte of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFCs) shows excellent electrical properties but has a weakness in the mechanical properties. Since the electrolyte of SOFCs requires both good electrical and mechanical properties, this study was conducted to meet both requirements. The electrolyte thin films were produced on the LSM(cathode material) substrate of a cell and Si wafer. Four electrolyte film types of single layer and the multiple layer, consisting of 3-YSZ(3mol.%$Y_2$$O_3$) with excellent mechanical properties and 8-YSZ with the excellent electric conduction, were produced by electron beam coating technology. Ther crystal structure and the mechanical properties were also analysed. As the results of the study, the 3-YSZ thin film turned out to be in the tetragonal, partially monoclinic phase, while the 8-YSZ thin film showed the cubic phase. The residual stress in the multiple layer was lower than that of the single layer. The microhardness of the multiple layer was similar to that of the existing 8-YSZ single layer both before and after annealing treatment.

The molding for hollow products used widely in industry is rotational molding by heating and cooling. Uniform cooling is required to improve the quality of the product, and rapid cooling is required to improve the productivity. In this paper, the cooling condition is largely classified into the case of no forced cooling by the fan and forced cooling by the fan. In addition, when forced cooling by the fan is not performed, the condition for stopping the molding machine horizontally and the condition for stopping the molding machine vertically were classified. To confirm the forced cooling by the fan, the conditions were set such that only the molding machine rotates while the fan is not running and the upper and lower fans operate when only the lower fan is operated. The surface temperature of the rotary molding machine was analyzed by the STAR-CCM+ program for the case of air-cooling. The temperature distribution of the rotary molding machine was analyzed for five conditions and the temperature distribution for cooling was compared under each condition. Among the five cases, Case 4 was lowest at approximately 35 ℃ after 900sec.
