Recently, interest in and demand for sensors that recognize physical activity and their products are increasing. In particular, the development of wearable materials that are flexible, stretchable, and able to detect the user's biological signals is drawing attention. In this study, an experiment was conducted to improve the dip-coating efficiency of a single-walled carbon nanotube dispersion solution after fine holes were made in a hydrophobic material with a micro needle. In this study, dip-coating was performed with a material that was not penetrated, and comparative analysis was performed. The electrical conductivity of the sensor was measured when the sensor was stretched using a strain universal testing machine (Dacell Co. Ltd., Seoul, Korea) and a multimeter (Keysight Technologies, Santa Rosa, CA, USA) was used to measure resistance. It was found that the electrical conductivity of a sensor that was subjected to needling was at least 16 times better than that of a sensor that was not. In addition, the gauge factor was excellent, relative to the initial resistance of the sensor, so good performance as a sensor could be confirmed. Here, the dip-coating efficiency of hydrophobic materials, which have superior physical properties to hydrophilic materials but are not suitable due to their high surface tension, can be adopted to more effectively detect body movements and manufacture sensors with excellent durability and usability.

The most upcoming technical issue of automotive coating is the compact coating process. Pre-primed coating is the outstanding technology eliminating electro-deposition and primer coating process. The main properties of pre-primed coating for automotive are flexibility, corrosion resistance, and weldability. Therefore, we synthesized the conventional polyester, elastomeric polyester and polyvinylidene fluoride resins and evaluated their properties to use as weldable pre-primed automotive coatings. As the results of flexibility and curing behavior, the elastomeric polyester coating was most appropriate to use for the pre-primed automotive coatings.

현행 민영화정책이 공기업의 효율성제고를 최우선 목표로 설정한 것은 타당한 선택이었음에도 불구하고, 경제력집중 심화에 대한 우려와 주식시장의 제약 등을 이유로 민영화정책은 그 추진실적이 부진하고 향후 지속 여부가 불투명한 것이 현실이다. 본(本) 논문(論文)은 우리나라 공기업민영화를 둘러싼 논쟁의 핵심인 경제력집중(經齊力集中), 경쟁도입(競爭導入), 주식시장여건(株式市場與件) 등이 공기업민영화와 관련하여 어떻게 이해되어야 할 것이며, 바람직한 정책대응(政策對應)은 무엇인지를 논의하고 있다. 재산권이론(財産權理論)을 동원하여 주인(主人) 있는 경영(經營)의 의미를 재해석할 때, 기업지배(企業支配) 통제구조(統制構造)의 정착이 요원한 우리 현실에서 민영화가 기업효율을 제고하려면 민간대주주(民間大株主)의 지배(支配)를 인정하는 방식이 최선책(最善策)이며, 소유가 분산되고 전문경영체제(專門經營體制)를 도입하는 민영화방식은 지배구조(支配構造)의 실패가능성(失敗可能性) 때문에 차선책(次善策)이라고 평가된다. 그러나 효율성 차원의 최선책은 경제력집중이라는 국민경제적 비용을 초래하므로, 정부로서는 경제력 집중이라는 비용(費用)과 효율성이라는 편익(便益)을 조화시키는 방안을 모색할 수밖에 없다. 이 경우 정부가 고려할 보완책(補完策)으로는 감자후(減資後) 민영화(民營化)와 분할민영화(分割民營化)가 있다. 한편 자연독점의 특성이 뚜렷한 일부 네트워크사업분야를 제외하면, 민영화시 경쟁도입(競爭導入)은 기업효율성과 국민경제의 배분효율성을 제고하므로 정부로서는 당연한 선택일 것이다. 경쟁은 공기업의 인수자격규제에 있어서도 새로운 기준을 제시하는데, 민영화를 정부(政府)와 민간(民間)사이의 M&A로 이해하고 경쟁제한적(競爭制限的) 기업결합(企業結合)을 규제하는 공정거래법(公正去來法)의 정신(精神)이 인수자격규제기준이 되어야 하며, 업종전문화(業種專門化) 발상(發想)에 근거한 인수자격규제는 득보(得)다 실(失)이 클 것이다. 아직도 자생적 성장기반이 취약한 주식시장의 제약에 따라 민영화일정의 탄력적인 조정은 불가피하지만, 정부는 상장(上場)의 필요성(必要性)을 재검토하고, 매각(賣却)의 우선순위(優先順位)를 조정하며, 무엇보다도 양질(良質)의 주식(柱式) 공급(供給)이 수요(需要)를 창출하는 메커니즘을 개발해야한다. 이와 함께 본(本) 논문(論文)은 현행 추진체계(推進體系)에 내재된 민영화의 지연가능성이 심각한 문제임을 지적하였고, 대규모 공기업의 민영화가 대기업(大企業)의 새로운 전형(典型)을 창출하여 한국자본주의(韓國資本主義)의 건전한 발전을 앞당기는 역사적 기회라는 점을 강조하고 있다. 마지막으로 재벌인수가 가능한 경우와 규제되어야 할 각각의 경우에 대하여 민영화정책(民營化政策)의 '체크리스트'를 제시하고 있다.

Developing novel anode materials to replace the Pt anode currently used in electrolytic reduction is an important issue on pyroprocessing. In this study, the electrochemical behavior of TiN was investigated as the conductive ceramic anode which evolves O₂ gas during the reaction. The feasibility and stability of the TiN anode was examined during the electrolytic reduction of UO₂. The TiN anode could electrochemically convert UO₂ to metallic U in a LiCl–Li₂O molten salt electrolyte. No oxidation of TiN was observed during the reaction; however, the formation of voids in the bulk section appeared to limit the lifetime of the TiN anode.

리튬 이차 전지를 박막화함으로써 개발된 고상의 마이크로 박막전지는 임의의 크기 및 형태로의 제작이 가능하며 액체전해질을 사용하지 않기 때문에 작동 중 열 또는 기체 생성물이 생기지 않아 높은 안정성을 갖으며 광범위한 사용 온도 범위를 가진다. 위와 같은 장점으로 인하여 충전 가능한 고상의 박막형 리튬 이차 전지는 점진적으로 그 사용 범위가 크게 확대될 것으로 판단된다. 즉, 초소형 전자, 전기 소자는 물론이며 조만간 실현될 스마트 카드, 셀루러폰 및 PCS와 같은 개인용 휴대 통신장비의 전력 공급계로의 응용이 가능할 것이다. 특히 장수명, 고에너지 밀도를 갖는 초소형의 전지를 필요로 하는 microelectronics, MEMS등에 이용될 수 있는 이차전지에 대한 요구가 점점 가시화 됨에 따라 박막공정을 이용한 이차전지개발기술이 요구되고 있으며, 박막제조기술을 이용한 고상의 박막형 및 전지에 관한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 박막형 리튬 이차전지의 Cathode 물질로써 비정질의 산화바나듐 박막을 반응성 스퍼터링에 의하여 상온에서 증착하였다. 박막형 이차전지의 여러 가지 Cathode 물질중 산화바나듐은 다른 물질들과는 달리 비정질 형태로 매우 우수한 충방전 특성을 나타낸다. 이런 특성으로 인해 다소 전지자체의 성능은 낮지만 저전력 저전압을 필요로 하는 초소형 전자 소자와 혼성되어 이용할 수 있는 잠재성이 매우 높은 물질이다. 바나듐 타겟의 경우 타겟 표면의 ageing에 따라 증착되는 박막의 특성이 매우 달라지게 되므로 presputtering의 시간을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 또한 스퍼터링 중의 산소의 분압도 타겟의 ageing에 많은 영향을 주므로 실험 변수로 산소분압을 변화시키면서 실험하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 표면은 scanning electron microscopy로 분석하였으며 구조 분석은 X-선 회절분석, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 그리고Auger electron spectroscope로 하였다. 증착된 산화바나듐 박막의 전기화학적 특성을 분석하기 위하여 리튬 메탈을 anode로 하고 EC:DMC=1:1, 1M LiPF6 액체 전해질을 사용한 Half-Cell를 구성하여 200회 이상의 정전류 충 방전 시험을 행하였다. Half-Cell test 결과 박막의 결정성과 표면상태에 따라 매우 다른 전지 특성을 나타내었다.

급속한 산업의 발달은 심각한 환경오염 및 에너지 문제를 가져왔다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 무한한 에너지원인 태양에너지를 원천으로 하는 친환경 정화소재로서의 광촉매(photocatalyst)를 통하여 인류의 에너지를 확보하는 것에 대한 관심이 급격하게 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 현재 광촉매로 가장 많이 사용되는 $TiO_2$의 경우 뛰어난 광활성과 저렴한 가격, 광 안정성, 화학적 안정성을 가짐에도 불구하고, 3.2 eV라는 상대적으로 넓은 band gap을 가지기 때문에 약 386 nm보다 짧은 파장을 갖는 자외선만 흡수할 수 있다. 이로 인한 가시광 응답성의 부재를 해결하기 위해 수십년간 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ICP assisted pulsed DC reactive magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 $TiO_2$를 기반으로 하면서 가시광영역의 빛을 흡수하여 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있도록 Nitrogen doping, Low band gap semi-conductor sensitization 등의 방법을 사용하여 광촉매를 제작하였다. 시료의 chemical state와 crystallinity를 확인하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy와 X-ray diffraction method를 이용하여 분석을 수행하였으며, 이러한 공정을 통해 제작된 $TiO_2$기반 광촉매의 가시광 응답성을 확인하기 위하여 UV/Vis 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 또한 물 분해 장치(water splitting device)를 제작하여 수소와 산소 생성시 흐르는 전류를 측정하여 광특성을 평가하였다.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of the PCK components of pre-service chemistry teachers considered in the processes of developing performance assessment. Eight pre-service teachers participated in this study. After the workshop for performance assessment, they developed performance assessment through the planning, embodying and small group discussion step. Their activities were recorded and videotaped. Semi-structured interviews were also conducted. It was found that the PCK component considered in developing performance assessment individually was mainly the knowledge of assessment in science. The proportions of knowledge of curriculum, instructional strategies and students were found to be relatively low. The feedback on students' performance was not considered at all. The orientation to traditional assessment which emphasized on the objectivity of assessment, was stronger in the embodying step rather than in the planning step. During the planning step, the integrations among the PCK components mainly appeared with the knowledge of instructional strategies. However, they hardly appeared in the embodying and discussion steps. The main characteristics of the PCK in small group discussion were similar with those in the embodying step. Some PCK components were considered more in small group discussion, but most discussions were in the traditional perspectives.

Recently, the high-speed Internet users increase rapidly and broadband networks have been widely deployed. However, the current TCP congestion control algorithm was designed for relatively narrowband network environments, and thus its performance is inefficient for traffic transport in broadband networks. To remedy this problem, the TCP having an enhanced congestion control algorithm is required for broadband networks. In this paper, we propose an improved TCP congestion control that can sufficiently utilize the large available bandwidth in broadband networks. The proposed algorithm predicts the available bandwidth by using ACK information and RTT variation, and prevents large packet losses by adjusting congestion window size appropriately. Also, it can rapidly utilize the large available bandwidth by enhancing the legacy TCP algorithm in congestion avoidance phase. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, we use the ns-2 simulator. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves not only the utilization of the available bandwidth but also RTT fairness and the fairness between contending TCP flows better than the HSTCP in high bandwidth delay product network environment.

The feasibility and stability of ORP, pH(mV) and DO as a real-time control parameter for SBR process were evaluated in this study. During operation, NBP(nitrogen break point) and NKP(nitrate knee point), which reveal the biological and chemical changes of pollutants, were clearly observed on ORP and pH(mV)-time profiles, and those control points were easily detected by tracking the moving slope changes(MSC). However, when balance of aeration rate to loading rate, or to OUR(oxygen uptake rate), was not optimally maintained, either false NBP was occurred on ORP and DO curves before the appearance of real NBP or specific NBP feature was disappeared on ORP curve. Under that condition, however, very distinct NBP was found on pH(mV)-time profile, and stable detection of that point was feasible by tracking MSC. These results might mean that pH(mV) is superior real-time control parameter for aerobic process than ORP and DO. Meanwhile, as a real-time control parameter for anoxic process, ORP was very stable and more useful parameter than others. Based on these results, a stable real-time control of process can be achieved by using the ORP and pH(mv) parameters in combination rather than using separately. A complete removal of pollutants could be always ensured with this real-time control technology, despite the variations of wastewater and operation condition, as well as an optimization of treatment time and capacity could be feasible.

The objective of the study was to develop a hybrid technology integrating biological and physicochemical technologies to efficiently remediate arsenic contaminated lands such as abandoned mine area. The tailing soil samples contaminated with As at a high level were obtained from Songchon abandoned mine, and the content of arsenic and heavy metals as well as physicochemical properties and mineral composition were investigated. In addition, two sets of sequential extraction methods were applied to analyze chemical speciations of arsenic and heavy metals to expect their leachability and mobility in geoenvironment. Based on these geochemical data of arsenic and heavy metal contaminants, column-type experiments on the bioleaching of arsenic were undertaken. Subsequently, experiments on the hybrid process incorporating bioleaching and electrokinetics were accomplished and its removal efficiency of arsenic was compared with that of the individual electrokinetic process. With the results, finally, the feasibilty of the hybrid technnology was evaluated. The arsenic removal efficiencies of the individual electrokinetic process (44 days) and the hybrid process incorporating bioleaching (28 days) and electrokinetics (16 dyas) were measured 57.8% and 64.5%, respectively, when both two processes were operated in an identical condition. On the contrary, the arsenic removal efficiency during the bioleaching process (28 days) appeared relatively lower (11.8%), and the result indicates that the bioleaching process enhanced the efficacy of the electrokinetic process as a result of mobilization of arsenic rather than removed arsenic by itself. In particular, the arsenic removal rate of the electrokinetics integrated with bioleaching was observed over than 2 times larger than that obtained by the electrokinetics alone. From the results of the study, if the bioleaching which is considered a relatively economic process is applied sufficiently prior to electrokinetics, the removal efficiency and rate of arsenic can be significantly improved. Consequently, the study proves the feasibility of the hybrid process integrating both technologies.
