Inorganic and organic geochemical characteristics of Devonian bitumen carbonates in Alberta were studied using two drilling cores, Saleski 03-34-88-20w4 and Saleski 08-01-88-20w4, taken from the Core Research Center of Canada. The results of elements analyses showed high Total Inorganic Carbon, low Total Nitrogen and Total Sulfur, and Rock-Eval pyrolysis showed double $CO_2$ peaks in the oxidation part. These mean that the Devonian bitumen carbonates are mainly composed of dolomite formed by diagenesis, and its crystal texture is dominantly subhedral to anhedral but often euhedral. Bitumen contents were 3.6~19.0% in Saleski 3-34-88-20w4 and 5.0~16.4% in Saleski 08-01-88-20w4, respectively. As samples color become dark, bitumen and Total Organic Carbon contents are generally increasing in two cores. The results of biomarker analyses showed that the contents of resins and asphaltenes were 5~28% higher than those of saturated hydrocarbon, interring that the bitumen has been heavily biodegradated. According to the results of carbon isotope analyses in each component of bitumen, asphaltenes had highest values and the others had constant values. However, their values were varied in the range of normal crude oil (-18~-30‰).

The characteristics of autoignited lifted flames in laminar jets of carbon monoxide/hydrogen fuels have been investigated experimentally in heated coflow air. In result, as the jet velocity increased, the blowoff was directly occurred from the nozzle-attached flame without experiencing a stabilized lifted flame, in the non-autoignited regime. In the autoignited regime, the autoignited lifted flame of carbon monoxide diluted by nitrogen was affected by the water vapor content in the compressed air oxidizer, as evidenced by the variation of the ignition delay time estimated by numerical calculation. In particular, in the autoignition regime at low temperatures with added hydrogen, the liftoff height of the autoignited lifted flames decreased and then increased as the jet velocity increased. Based on the mechanism in which the autoignited laminar lifted flame is stabilized by ignition delay time, the liftoff height can be influenced not only by the heat loss, but also by the preferential diffusion between momentum and mass diffusion in fuel jets during the autoignition process.

Shale is considered as a source rock for conventional oil and gas exploration and development because shale is fine-grained detrital sedimentary rock which can preserve the organic matter better. Shale has a good sealing capacity for the petroleum trap due to its low permeability. Commercial recoveries of gas from shale in the North America based on the development of technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing reveal that shale also function as a effective reservoir rock. Geochemical techniques to evaluate generation potential of the hydrocarbons from organic matter in the source rocks can be applied for the exploration of the shale gas resources. To evaluate shale gas resources, it is important to understand various geochemical processes and shale characteristics controlling generation, storage and estimation of shale gas reserves. In this paper, the generation mechanism of the oil and gas from organic matter is reviewed, and geochemical techniques which can be applied for the evaluation and characterization of shale gas are introduced.

Microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata (N. oculta) and Chlorella vulgaris (C. vulgaris) are important sources for biodisel because of the high content of neutral lipids. Stable nano bubble is maintained for a long time and therefore it is possible for use in biotechnology. In this study, effects of nano bubble oxygen or hydrogen water on the microalgae growth were characterized. The cell growth in nano bubble water was similar to that of control, and the total lipid content was rather low. But, chlorophyll content of N. oculata grown in nanno bubble oxygen and hydrogen water increased 54% and 30%, and increased 59%, 39% in C. vulgaris. Carotenoid content also increased 21%, 25% in N. oculata and 49%, 29% in C. vulgaris grown in nano bubble oxygen and hydrogen water. From these results, nano bubble water seems to enhance the photosynthetic capacity of microalgae.

Propylene epoxidation by $H_2O_2$ (30％ aqueous) as oxidant was studied in a semi-batch reactor using TS-1 catalyst: Effects of reaction temperature, time, pressure, solvent, catalyst and $H_2O_2$ concentration on $H_2O_2$ conversion (limiting reagent) and product distribution were investigated. Potential inhibition by propylene oxide on the epoxidation rate was also examined. Ti-MCM-22 with MWW zeolytic structure was found to exhibit better performance than TS-1 with MFI structure, provide that a proper choice of solvent(acetonitrile) is made.

The automotive exhaust gases generated by the vehicles containing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and lead, is a large concern because of their harm to human health or the living environment. To reduce exhaust gas, it is important to develop a variety of techniques that are currently being used by elemental analysis to determine the optimal conditions. In this study, the anti-freeze coolant contained in the exhaust gas was examined, which can affect the emissions. The effects of the commercially available coolant from five domestic companies on the HC, NOx and $CO_2$ emissions were analyzed to determine the optimal amount of antifreeze. In addition, antifreeze products from the five companies were analyzed with respect to driving time of the cooling fan and the correlation of the NOx emission analysis. The temperature of the engine oil was matched using a manual gear of small passenger inspection standard speed $40{\pm}2Km/h$ so the vehicle could meet the specifications for inspection $90{\sim}93^{\circ}C$. The Company D fan operation time resulted in the shortest antifreeze, $CO_2$ and NOx emissions.

In neutron shielding, the scattering effect is equally important as the attenuations in shielding materials. In the present study, the scattered dose equivalent was measured using a Rem counter for water, paraffin, borated paraffin, ordinary and heavy concrete, lead, iron, and tissue equivalent material in three different angles: 45$^{\circ}$, 90$^{\circ}$, and 135$^{\circ}$, respectively. The measurements were performed for the neutron, having the energies of 0.5, 1, 2, 5, and 18 MeV, which are produced from the Van do Graaff accelerator. The scattered dose equivalent ratios were increased with increasing the thickness of scattering materials and saturated at a certain thickness although they were different from one to other materials under study. The ratios were large for lead and iron while they were small for the hydrogen containing materials such as water and paraffin etc.

기존 실리콘 박막 태양 전지는 적외선에 대한 감응도와 흡수도가 낮아서 광흡수율을 증가시킬 경우 효율의 효과적인 개선이 기대되어진다. 이를 개선하기 위해서 밴드갭이 Si에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 Ge을 도입함으로써 Si와 Ge 화합물을 형성할 경우 결정상태와 수소 함유량에 따라 밴드갭 조절이 가능하다. 또한 Ge는 Si에 비해 빛에 대한 감응도가 우수하여 광흡수율을 증가시킬수 있다. 단 SiGe 박막의 Ge 량이 일정량이상 많아질 경우 박막 내 결함 등의 생성으로 광변환 효율이 오히려 감소하므로 Ge 량의 적정화가 필요하다. 본 실험에 사용된 SiGe:H Layer는 $SiH_4$ 가스와 $GeH_4$ 가스를 혼합하여 증착하였고 증착두께는 150nm로 고정하였으며 증착장비는 PECVD를 이용하였다. 파워는 플라즈마의 방전특성을 알아본 후 최소파워를 이용하여 증착하였다. 이는 증착 시 플라즈마에 의한 박막 손상을 최소화하기 위함이다. Ellipsometry를 이용하여 박막의 두께와 optical bandgap을 측정하였다. 박막의 특성을 평가하기 위해서 STA 장비를 이용하여 dark conductivity, photo conductivity, activation energy 등을 측정하였고, MDC를 이용해 C-V 곡선을 측정하였고, 이를 terman method를 이용하여 $D_{it}$를 계산하였다.

Welding is a reliable process and is mainly adopted for fabricating heavy structures. Recently, transverse cracks in the weld metal is serious problem, and they affect cost, efficiency, safety and joint reliability for various welded structures. In this view of point, this study investigated the potential factors for weld metal transverse crack. The main results obtained are as follows; 1) The content of diffusible hydrogen in the commercial flux cored are welding wire was remarkable change by manufacturer. 2) The diffusible hydrogen content was thd main factor for weld metal transverse cracks. 3) Weld metal was immune to transverse cracking under the condition of low diffusible hydrogen content of high restraint condition. 4) The factors for weld metal transverse crack would be the content of diffusible hydrogen and restraint of weld joint.
