In this study, the feasibility of ZnO/Al/ZnO flexible transparent electrodes for future flexible optoelectronic devices was investigated. All depositions were performed on PET substrates. The thicknesses of the top and bottom ZnO layers were 5-70 nm and 2.5-20 nm, respectively. The highest visible light transmittance was recorded when the thicknesses of the top and bottom ZnO layers 30 nm and 2.5 nm, respectively. 62% optical transmittance (at the wavelength of 400 nm) and sheet resistance of $19{\Omega}/{\Box}$ were measured. After repetitive bending test at a curvature radius of 5 mm, the transmittance and sheet resistance did not change.

TiCrN layers (Ti : Cr = 20 : 80 and 5 : 95 wt%) were deposited on Inconel 617 and the effect of TiCrN coating on the high temperature stability of Inconel 617 up to $1000^{\circ}C$ was examined. XRD analysis and microstructural observation showed that vigorous and inhomogenous Cr diffusion to the surface was suppressed by TiCrN layer compare to the uncoated Inconel 617. This led to a distinctive enhancement in thermal oxidation resistance of Inconel 617.

In this paper, the pressure sensor usable in a high temperature, using a SDB(silicon-direct-bonding) wafer of Si/$SiO_2$/Si-sub structure was provided and studied the characteristic thereof. The pressure sensor produces a piezoresistor by using a single crystal silicon as a first layer of SDB wafer, to thus provide a prominent sensitivity, and dielectrically isolates the piezoresistor from a silicon substrate by using a silicon dioxide layer as a second layer thereof, to be thus usable even under the high temperature over $120^{\circ}C$ as a limited temperature of a general silicon sensor. The measured result for a pressure sensitivity of the pressure sensor has a characteristic of high sensitivity, and its tested result for an output of the sensor further has a very prominent linearity and hysteresis characteristic.

We reviewed the electrical properties of SOFC anode manufactured using spherical Ni and nano YSZ powder. When core-shell is fabricated by using submicron Ni as core and nano-sized YSZ as shell for SOFC anode, the electrical conductivity of the $0.2{\mu}m$ Ni-YSZ core-shell was 3 times higher than that of $1.0{\mu}m$ NiO or $1.0{\mu}m$ Ni-YSZ. Hydrogen selectivity was similar at $800^{\circ}C$, but hydrogen selectivity and methane conversion rate under $750^{\circ}C$ was 10~25% higher, Power density was more than 2 times, ASR was about 1/3, when exposed to $H_2$ atmosphere at $750^{\circ}C$ for a long time, Ni particles did not have any growth or cut off conduction path.

The Bacillus KU801 strain, due to its potential in the field of probiotics for animal use, was isolated from chicken feces. Strain KU801 was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KU801 based on the results of 16S rRNA sequencing. Vegetative and spore cells of B. amyloliquefaciens KU801 were resistant to artificial gastric juice and artificial bile acid. B. amyloliquefaciens KU801 was found to inhibit the production of nitric oxide (NO) and increase the production of Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1${\alpha}$). DNA damage induced by N-methyl-Ntion of ninitroso-guanidine (MNNG) was significantly inhibited, in a dose dependent manner, by preincubating MNNG together with B. amyloliquefaciens KU801. These results demonstrate the potential use of B. amyloliquefaciens KU801 as a feed additive.

In this study, a 1kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell(SOFC) test system was developed. A SOFC is the most promising power system to provide the higher efficient(over 50%) for house application area(1~10kW). To develop the optimized test system, the temperature control module that controls the preprocess and reaction condition, the flow control module that controls of the mass of reactants, and the electric loader that tests the discharge performance condition, etc. The temperature control module was designed to provide the high control resolution(under $1^{\circ}C$ at $750^{\circ}C$ of operating temperature) using K-type thermal couple. The flow control module was designed control blower and heater precisely using the phase control method. And the electric loader is designed that provide CV, CC, CR discharge mode and minimized the operating error adopting the independent DC-DC converter on analog input and output module. The performance of the developed SOFC test system showed that the accuracy of stack voltage was 0.15% at 80V and stack current was 0.1% at 100A.

High-strength nickel-based super alloys have been widely used in aircraft engines, vessel engines, and turbine blades because of their high strength and excellent fatigue and oxidation resistance. In this study, tests were carried out to determine the total strain range and temperature for high-strength nickel-based super alloys. Prepared specimens of IN738LC were exposed to temperatures of $871^{\circ}C$ and $982^{\circ}C$ for 1,000.10,000 h. These specimens were subjected to tests of mechanical properties and microstructure observations. The changes in mechanical properties were related to changes in ${\gamma}$ according to the thermal exposure time.

The electrical and mechanical properties of sputtered Cu(Mg) films are investigated for highly reliable interconnects. The roughness, adhesion, hardness and resistance to thermal stress of Cu(Mg) film annealed in vacuum at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30min were improved than those of pure Cu film. Moreover, the flat band voltage(V$_{F}$ ) shift in the Capacitance-Voltage(C-V) curve upon bias temperature stressing(BTS) was not observed and leakage currents of Cu(Mg) into $SiO_2$ were three times less than those of pure Cu. Because Mg was easy to react with oxide than Cu and Si after annealing, the Mg Oxide which formed at surface and interface served as a passivation layer as well.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) thin films were deposited on r-plane sapphires from a solution containing zinc acetate. The films were obtained in a hot wall reactor by the pyrolysis of an aerosol produced by an ultrasonic generator. The crystallinity, surface morphology and composition of the films have been studied using the x-ray diffraction method(XRD) scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) respectively. The influences of the substrate temperature on the crystallinity of the films were studied. Strongly (110) oriented ZnO films were obtained at a substrate temperature of $350^{\circ}C$. The resistivity was increased to above $3{\times}10^{6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ with copper doping and vapor oxidation.

The purpose of this study was myokine product and role with physical activity and literature review. There is accumulating epidemiological evidence that a physically active life plays an independent role in the protection against type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, dementia and even depression. And myokine has been regarded an important factor of exercise training and brain growth factor for the prevention of Alzheimier's disease. During exercise the release of anti-inflammatory myokine from contracting muscle controled the metabolic response, and IL-4, IL-6, IL-7, IL-10, and IL-15 controled muscle hypertrophy, myogenesis and angiogenenesis. IL-6 promoted the lipid metabolism through AMPK activation. IL-1Ra, IL-10 and sTNF-R inhibited $TNF-{\alpha}$ as the pro-inflammatory cytokine. IL-15 increased the releasing volume from contracting muscle, and promoted the anabolic factor of muscle growth. IL-7 and IL-8 activated the angiogenesis through the more activation of C-X-C receptor signal transmission.
