In this study, the applicability of calcite, sand, and zeolite for the remediation of sediments contaminated with organics and nutrients were investigated. Sediments and seawater for water tank experiments were sampled from Pyeongtaek harbor, and 1 cm or 3 cm of calcite, sand, and zeolite were capped on the sampled sediments. pH, electric conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) were monitored for 63 days. The sampled sediments were highly contaminated with organic matter and total nitrogen. DO in uncapped condition was exhausted within 10 days but DO in capping condition except 3 cm of zeolite capping was prolonged above 2 mg/L. Capping efficiency for interrupting COD release from sediments was in the following order: zeolite 1 cm > calcite 1 cm > calcite 3 cm > sand 3 cm ${\cong}$ zeolite 3 cm ${\cong}$ sand 1 cm. Zeolite was found to be effective for interrupting nitrogen release. T-P was not observed in both uncapped and capped sediment, i.e., all experimental conditions. It can be concluded that zeolite can be effectively used for the remediation of sediments highly contaminated with organic matter and nitrogen.

The behavior of the biological water treatment process on start-up operation was evaluated in the integrated recirculating aquaculture system consisting of a double drain type rearing tank ($2.5 m^3$), a sedimentation tank, a floating bead filter, a foam separator and a rotating biological contactor. A system was stocked with nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at an initial rearing density of $2\%$ for 2 weeks for acclimated rotating biological contactor. The total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) level increased to $13.6 g/m^3$ on day 4 after adding feed and was decreased to $0.3 g/m^3$ on day 7. The total suspended solid was completely removed during overall experimental period.

To understand characteristics of the water quality on the coastal boundary on tidal flat, field observations between 2008 and 2009 were undertaken twice a month at five coastal areas (Muan bay, Tando bay, Hampyeong bay, Shinan Jido and Yeongkwang coastal areas). Yearly water temperature difference was large with the range between $1.3^{\circ}C$ and $31.1^{\circ}C$. Salinity was about 32 but was the lower less than 20 for the heavy rainfall season. DO was high in winter and low in summer according to the variation of water temperature. pH represented the variation similar to DO. Suspended solid was averagely high over 100 mg/l in Yeongkwang coastal area, especially. COD did not revealed large variation with the value of about 1 mg/l. DIN and DIP concentration were high when freshwater was highly input in summer. DIN concentration was low for winter and early spring but DIP concentration did not show the seasonal variation with the continuous increase from July 2009 to December 2009. Chlorophyll a appeared high for spring with approximately $10\;{\mu}g/l$ and was higher for summer in Yeongkwang coastal area than other sites. The results of principal component analysis conducted to compare the characteristics of water quality observed in study areas showed the distinguishable features as follows. The freshwater input fluctuation appeared as the first factor in Muan and Tando bays, and the change of water temperature was the first factor in Shinan Jido and Yeongkwang coastal areas. The influence mixed with the variation of freshwater outflow and the change of water temperature in Hampyeong bay was to be the first factor.

As the demand for a clean energy to replace fossil fuel being depleted increases, hydrogen energy is considered as a promising candidate for future energy source. Water electrolysis which produces hydrogen has high energy efficiency and stability but still has a large overpotential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, $Co_3O_4$ catalysts with different morphology were prepared by spray pyrolysis from solutions which contain Co precursor and various organic additives (urea, sucrose, and citric acid), followed by post heat treatment. For the catalysts synthesized, X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements were performed to identify their crystal structure. Morphology and surface shape of the catalysts were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Surface area and pore volume were examined by nitrogen adsortpion & desorption tests and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was conducted to confirm nitrogen doping. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was carried out to investigate OER activity of $Co_3O_4$ catalysts. As a result, bare-$Co_3O_4$ which has high surface area and small particle size determined by spray pyrolysis showed high activity toward OER.

Swine wastewater contains high amounts of organic matter and nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus). The biological nitrogen removal can be achieved by nitrification and denitrification processes. Nitrification-denitrification can be performed via nitrite which is called as the short-cut process. This Short-cut process saves up to 25% of oxygen and 40% of external carbon during nitrification and denitrification. In this study, the batch tests were conducted to assess the different parameters for the nitrite sulfur utilizing denitrification, such as alkalinity, temperature, initial nitrite concentration, and dissolved oxygen. The experimental results showed that the nitrite removal efficiency of the reactor was found to be over 95% under the optimum condition ($30^{\circ}C$ and sufficient alkalinity). Autotrophic nitrate denitrification was inhibited at low alkalinity condition showing only 10% removal efficiency, while nitrite denitrification was achieved over 95%. The nitrite removal rates were found similar at both $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. In addition, nitrite removal efficiencies were inhibited by increasing oxygen concentration, but sulfate concentration increased due to sulfur oxidation under an aerobic condition. Sulfate production and alkalinity consumption were decreased with nitrite compared those with nitrate.

During sleep, relatively major respiratory physiological changes occur in healthy subjects. The contributions and interactions of voluntary and metabolic breathing control systems during waking and sleep are quite different Alterations of ventilatory control occur in chemosensitivity, response to mechanical loads, and stability of ventilation. The activities of intercostal muscles and muscles involved in regulating upper airway size are decreased during sleep. These respiratory physiological changes during sleep compromise the nocturnal ventilatory function, and sleep is an important physiological cause of the nocturnal alveolar hypoventilation. There are several causes of chronic alveolar hypoventilation including cardiopulmonary, neuromuscular diseases. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is an important cause of nocturnal hypoventilation and hypoxia. Coexistent cardiopulmonary or neuromuscular disease in patients with OSAS contributes to the development of diurnal alveolar hypoventilation, diurnal hypoxia and hypercapnia. The existing data indicates that nocturnal recurrent hypoxia and fragmentation of sleep in patients with OSAS contributes to the development of systemic hypertension and cardiac bradytachyarrhythmia, and diurnal pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale in patients with OSAS is usually present in patients with coexisting cardiac or pulmonary disease. Recent studies reported that untreated patients with OSAS had high long-term mortality rates, cardiovascular complications of OSAS had a major effect on mortality, and effective management of OSAS significantly decreased mortality.

Ge is one of the attractive channel materials for the next generation high speed metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) due to its higher carrier mobility than Si. But the absence of a chemically stable thermal oxide has been the main obstacle hindering the use of Ge channels in MOS devices. Especially, the fabrication of gate oxide on Ge with high quality interface is essential requirement. In this study, $HfO_xN_y$ thin films were prepared by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition on Ge substrate. The nitrogen was incorporated in situ during PE-ALD by using the mixture of nitrogen and oxygen plasma as a reactant. The effects of nitrogen to oxygen gas ratio were studied focusing on the improvements on the electrical and interface properties. When the nitrogen to oxygen gas flow ratio was 1, we obtained good quality with 10% EOT reduction. Additional analysis techniques including X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy were used for chemical and microstructural analysis.

최근 디스플레이 기술은 급속도로 발전해 가고 있다. 정보화 기술의 발전으로 언제 어디서나 쉽게 정보를 얻을 수 있는 유비쿼터스 시대로 접근하고 있으며, 휴대가 간편하고 이동성을 가진 휴대용 기기가 인기를 끌고 있다. 이에 따라 더 얇고 더 가벼우며 휴대하기 쉬운 디스플레이가 요구 되고 있고, 더 나아가 떨어뜨려도 깨지지 않고 유연하며, 디자인 변형이 자유로우며, 때론 종이처럼 접거나 휘어지거나 두루마리처럼 말을 수 있는 이른바 "플렉서블 디스플레이"에 대한 필요성이 점점 대두되고 있다. 이러한 첨단 디스플레이의 핵심 소자 중 하나는 산화물 박막 트랜지스터 이다. 산화물 반도체는 넓은 밴드갭을 가지고 가시광선 영역에서 투명하며, 높은 이동도를 가지고 있어 차세대 평판디스플레이, 투명디스플레이 및 플렉서블 디스플레이용 박막트랜지스터(TFT)를 위한 채널층으로써 광범위하게 연구되고 있다. 하지만 현재 대부분의 산화물 박막 트랜지스터 제조 공정은 고온에서의 열처리를 필요로 한다. 고온에서의 열처리 공정은 산화물 박막의 제조 공정 단가를 증가시키는 문제점이 있으며, 산화물 박막이 형성되는 기판의 녹는점이 낮은 경우에는 상기 기판의 변형을 가져오므로(예를 들면, 플라스틱 기판, 섬유 기재 등), 상기 산화물 박막이 적용되는 기판의 종류에 제한이 생기는 문제점이 있었다. 이에 플렉시블 디스플레이 등을 위해서는 저온공정이 필수로 선행 되어야 한다. 산화물 TFT는 당초, ZnO계의 재료가 연구되었지만 2004년 말에 Hosono 그룹이 Nature지에 "IGZO (In, Ga, Zn, O)"을 사용한 TFT를 보고한 이후 IGZO, IZO, ISZO, IYZO, HIZO와 같은 투명 산화물반도체가 TFT의 채널물질로써 많이 거론되고 있다. 그 중에서 인듐갈륨 산화물(IGO)는 삼성분계 n-형 산화물 반도체이고, 채널 이동성이 좋고 광투과도가 우수해 투명 TFT에 매우 유용하게 사용할 수 있다. 이 실험에서 우리는 인듐갈륨 산화물 박막 및 트랜지스터 특성 연구를 진행하였다. 인듐갈륨 산화물 박막은 상온에서 rf-magnetron sputtering법을 사용하여 산소분압 1~10%에서 증착 되었다. 증착된 인듐갈륨 산화물 박막은 cubic $In_2O_3$ 다결정으로 나타났으며, 2차상은 관찰 되지 않았다. 산소분압이 10%에서 1%로 변함에 따라 박막의 전도도는 $2.65{\times}10^{-6}S/cm$에서 5.38S/cm 범위에서 조절되었으며, 이를 바탕으로 인듐갈륨 박막을 active층으로 사용하는 bottom gate 구조의 박막트랜지스터를 제작 하였다. 인듐갈륨산화물 박막트랜지스터는 산소분압 10%에서 on/off 비 ${\sim}10^8$, field-effect mobility $24cm^2/V{\cdot}S$를 나타내며 상온에서 플렉서블용 고 이동도 소자 제작의 가능성을 보여준다.

The purpose of this paper is to study for the emission gas control of passenger car. The first example, the PCSV never open when operating condition, but it opened by causing malfunction because of trouble. As a result, the purge gas entered into surge tank, a mount of fuel was displayed with excessive supply on tester. Therefore, it certified the bad-condition of the engine when idling by decreasing of fuel injection quantity from engine ECU. The second example, the hose activating a EGR valve didn't supply the vacuum pressure because of assembling the other part. Thus, it knew the bad-condition of engine that the EGR valve would not work normally by leaking with the other port. The third example, as the rear oxygen sensor of two sensor were fault-installing by changing the sensor of other a car it could not detect of oxygen quantity. Finally, it found the phenomenon of abruptly decreasing vehicle speed when braking a car. Therefore, the system including with emission control has to drastically manage by maximizing condition to role decreasing the emission gas.

본 연구에서는 서울시 한강에 위치한 교량을 대상으로 다양한 조망점에 따른 경관조명의 물리량을 측정하고 그 특성을 분석함으로써 동일한 연구대상에 대하여 조망점이 달라졌을 때 나타나는 물리적 변화를 통해 경관조명분야의 물리량평가방법론의 새로운 접근방법론을 제시하는 것이 목적이다. 이를 위하여 연구대상의 선정은 교량구조형식에 따라 분류하고. 경관조명이 설치된 교량 17개소 중 다양한 조망점과 현장측정의 편리성 등을 고려하여 광진교(거더교), 올림픽대교(사장교), 동작대교(트러스교), 동작대교(아치교)를 연구대상으로 선정하였다. 조망점은 한강둔치를 이용하는 방문객들이 바라보는 투시뷰, 교량주변 건축물에서 바라보는 건물뷰 그리고 교량 위를 이동하면서 바라보는 주행뷰로 구분하였다. 이러한 연구방법으로 도출된 결과는 동일한 경관조명연출을 토대로 교량별 조망점에 따른 휘도측정 및 분석에서 측정되는 각도, 거리, 방향에 따라 정형화된 비율은 아니지만 휘도값에 있어서 차이가 있다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었으며, 투시뷰와 건물뷰는 동일한 교량 구성요소를 갖고 있어 상호간 비교 분석이 가능하고 경관조명평가 요소로서 그 기능을 담당 할 수 있다고 판단되며, 주행뷰는 교량형식과 가로등의 영향을 많이 받으므로 평가요소로써 조망점을 활용하기에는 조금 더 깊은 연구가 선행되어야 할 것으로 보인다. 따라서 경관조명을 평가함에 있어 다양하게 바라보는 조망점은 조명연출로 인한 시각적 인식에 차이를 유발시킬 수 있어 경관조명을 평가할 때 다양한 조망점의 설정이 보다 객관적이고 정확한 분석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.ridinium의 분포는 chlorophyll-a농도와 밀접한 관련성이 있었다. 담수적조의 현존량은 상류지역에서 $8.5\;{\times}\;10^3\;cell\;mL^L{-1}$로서 많았고, 댐부근의 하류지역($4.4\;{\times}\;10^2\;cell\;mL^L{-1}$)으로 갈수록 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 또한, 담수적조의 원인종으로 규조류 Synedra acus와 남조류 Microcystis aeruginosa도 소량관찰되었다. 저수지의 수질 부영양화 현상은 기존 경사사면형 농경지를 기반으로 조성되었으므로 저층으로부터 풍부한 영양환경을 내재하고 있었고, 담수 초기에 발생할 수 있는 가능성을 포함하고 있었다. 또한 유입수량의 부족과 현재 수질개선을 위해 적용하고 있는 수중폭기시설등의 물리적인 영향도 직 ${\cdot}$ 간접적으로 작용하였을 것으로 추정되었다 따라서 향후 이에 대한 중장기적인 모니터링이 필요하였고 유역과 저수지의 통합적인 수질관리계획 이 요구되었다.group으로, 용존산소량, 전기전도도, pH, 인산염이 정점 3, 4, 5에서 같은 group으로 묶였다.유의적인 CAT 활성 증가효과가 나타났고, 간조직의 시토졸 1획분에서는 대조군 대비 15${\sim}$27%의 CAT 활성 증가효과가 인정되었다. 이상의 결과에서 목초액의 장기간 투여는 간조직 중의 활성산소의 억제효과뿐만 아니라 방어시스템으로서 활성산소 제거효소의 역할도 충실히 수행하여 노화를 효과적으로 예방하고 억제할 수 있을 것으로 기
