We have dated the K-Ar, Ar-Ar and U-Pb ages of the Masan hornblende-biotite granite in the southern Cretaceous Gyeongsang basin to constrain its emplacement age. The ~108 Ma hornblende K-Ar age obtained in the study is similar to the previously reported Rb-Sr age. However, the single grain total fusion $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ dating on hornblende failed to yield statistically meaningful ages because the isotopic system was open during its alteration. Thus the hornblende K-Ar age in the study is also unlikely to be reliable. The single grain total fusion $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ dating on biotite yielded an average age of $75.8{\pm}3.0Ma$. Apart from scattered data in the range of ~45-75 Ma, the average age increased to ~80 Ma. The SHRIMP and LA-MC-ICPMS U-Pb isotopic compositions of zircon from the Masan hornblende-biotite granite yielded its emplacement age as $87.6{\pm}2.7Ma$ and $86.8{\pm}0.4Ma$, respectively. It is thus likely that the ~80 Ma $^{40}Ar/^{39}Ar$ age of biotite might reflect the cooling age of Masan hornblende-biotite granite or the thermal influences from later intense igneous activities in the Gyeongsang basin.

In the paper, we have demonstrated an azobenzene-coated fiber Bragg grating (FBG) for monitoring ultraviolet light (UV) intensity in remote measurement. The elasticity of the coated azobenzene polymer is changed by the UV light, which induces a center wavelength change corresponding to the change of the FBG's grating period. The wavelength shift resulting from both UV light and other light with the wavelength out of the UV range was about 0.18 nm. In order to improve the accuracy of the measurement, the center wavelength shift caused by radiant heat of the light source was sufficiently removed by using a thermal filter. The amount of the center wavelength shift was consequently reduced to 0.06 nm, compared to the result without the thermal filter. Also, the FBGs coated by using azobenzene polymer were produced by two different methods; thermal casting and UV curing. Considering temperature dependence, UV curing is more suitable than thermal casting in UV sensor application of the azobenzene-coated FBG. In addition, we have confirmed the wavelength dependence of the optical sensor by means of four different band pass filters. Thus, we found out that the center wavelength shift per unit intensity is 0.029 [arb. unit] as a maximum value at 370 nm wavelength region and that the absorption spectrum of the azobenzene polymer was very consistent with the wavelength dependence of the azobenzene-coated FBG.

A compact imaging spectrometer (COMIS) was developed for a microsatellite STSAT-3. The satellite is now rescheduled to be launched into a low sun-synchronous Earth orbit (~700 km) by the end of 2012. Its main operational goal is the imaging of the Earth's surface and atmosphere with ground sampling distance of 27 m and 2 - 15 nm spectral resolution over visible and near infrared spectrum (0.4 - 1.05 ${\mu}m$). A flight model of COMIS was developed following an engineering model that had successfully demonstrated hyperspectral imaging capability and structural rigidity. In this paper we report the environmental test results of the flight model. The mechanical stiffness of the model was confirmed by a small shift of the natural frequency i.e., < 1% over 10 gRMS random vibration test. Electrical functions of the model were also tested without showing any anomalies during and after vacuum thermal cycling test with < $10^{-5}$ torr and $-30^{\circ}C\;-\;35^{\circ}C$. The imaging capability of the model, represented by a modulation transfer function (MTF) value at the Nyquist frequency, was also kept unvaried after all those environmental tests.

Carbon-silica ($C-SiO_2$) membranes can be easily prepared by the pyrolysis of two-phase copolymers containing an aromatic imide block and a siloxane block and remarkably high permselectivities of $He/N_2, O_2/N_2,$ and $CO_2/N_2$. The pyrolysis of the imide-siloxane block copolymers was carried out at different final temperatures, $600^{\circ}C, 800^{\circ}C,$ and $1000^{\circ}C$ under an inert atmosphere, and is the first reported case of the precursors being used for the preparation of carbon membrane. The polymeric precursors were synthesized in a wide range of siloxane content and different final morphology, and the pyrolozed membranes were tested with a high vacuum time-lag method at $25^{\circ}C$ and 76cmHg of feed pressure. In experiments with He, $CO_2, O_2 \;and \;N_2$, the membranes were found to have good $O_2/N_2$ selectivity up to 32.2 and $O_2$ permeability on the order of $10-8/cm^2(STP)cm/cm^2seccmHg.$.

최근에 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온이 첨가된 적색 형광체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 현재 상업적으로 이용 가능한 적색 형광체와 비교하여 $GdVO_4$를 모체로 갖는 적색 형광체는 우수한 열적 안정성과 광학적 특성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 고효율의 적색 형광체를 개발하기 위하여 고상 반응법을 사용하여 $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu_x^{3+}$ 형광체를 합성하였다. $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu_x^{3+}$ 형광체 분말 시료는 활성체인 $Eu^{3+}$의 함량을 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키며, 초기 물질 $Gd_2O_3$ (99.99%), $H_3BO_3$ (99.99%), $Eu_2O_3$ (99.9%)를 화학 적량으로 준비하였다. 분말은 볼밀과 건조 작업을 거친 후, 500$^{\circ}C$ 전기로에서 5시간 동안 하소 공정, 1,100$^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 동안 소성시켰다. 합성된 형광체 분말의 XRD 측정한 결과에 의하면, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비에 관계없이 모든 분말 시료들에서 주 피크는 24.7$^{\circ}$와 33.2$^{\circ}$에 최대값을 갖는 (200)와 (112)면의 회절 신호들이 관측되었고, 상대적으로 약한 회절 세기를 갖는 (101), (211), (301), (103), (312)와 (420)면의 회절 신호들은 각각 18.6$^{\circ}$, 31.1$^{\circ}$, 40.1$^{\circ}$, 44.6$^{\circ}$, 49.2$^{\circ}$와 57.1$^{\circ}$에서 나타났다(Fig. 1). 이결과를 JCPDS(86-0996)와 비교함으로써, 합성된 형광체 분말의 결정 구조는 정방정계임을 확인할 수 있었다. $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0.05 mol에서 0.15 mol로 증가함에 따라 주 피크인 (200)면의 회절 신호의 세기는 증가한 반면, 0.20 mol에서는 급격하게 감소하였으며, 이 경우에 반치폭의 크기는 0.16$^{\circ}$이었다. 결정 입자의 크기를 결정하기 위하여 (200)면의 회절 피크에 대한 정보를 잘 알려진 Scherrer의 식에 대입하여 계산한 결과, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0 mol인 경우에, 평균 크기는 48 nm이었다. $Eu^{3+}$ 함량비를 증가함에 따라 결정 입자의 크기도 비례하여 증가하였으며, 0.15 mol에서 최대값을 나타내었으나, 농도 억제 효과로 인하여 0.20 mol 에서는 현저히 감소하였다. 표면 형상의 변화를 관측한 SEM 측정 결과에 의하면, $Eu^{3+}$의 함량비가 0 mol에서 0.15 mol로 증가함에 따라 결정 입자의 모양은 사다리꼴 형태에서 모서리가 둥글게 깎인 구형으로 변형되는 것을 관측할 수 있었으며 평균 크기는 500 nm이었다(Fig. 2). $Eu^{3+}$의 함량이 0.20 mol인 경우에 결정 입자의 형상은 더욱 구형에 접근하였으나, 평균 크기는 최소값을 나타내었다. 실험 결과로부터, 적절한 함량비를 갖는 $Eu^{3+}$ 이온을 첨가함으로써 적색 형광체 $Gd_{1-x}VO_4$ : $Eu^{3+}$ 분말의 결정 크기와 발광 세기를 제어할 수 있음을 제안한다.

The quality characteristics of blanched Aster scaber with the blanching condition and various solutes (non-treated, NT; soluble Ca, SC; sodium bicarbonate, SB; and magnesium sulfate, MS) were evaluated with different blanching times and solutes. The blanching process decreased the total polyphenolics, ascorbic acid contents, hardness, and cutting strength of the leaves. As for the pectinesterase and polygalacturonase, the blanching process increased their inhibitory activities, and more than 90% of them were inactivated in all the samples that were blanched. For the total counts and the number of coliform groups, the number of total aerobes at 5.92-log CFU/g before the blanching process was reduced to the approximately 2-3 log scale, and the coliform group was not detected after the blanching. The blanching also significantly decreased the total chlorophyll a and b ratios. The sensory characteristics of the Aster scaber according to the test group showed that the leaves blanched for 3 min were the most highly evaluated in terms of their overall acceptability. The phenolic compound, chlorophyll, and carotenoid contents tended to increase from before their blanching, and the Ca/Cb ratio was higher in the SC. These results showed that SC and MS treatment had greater effects on the quality characteristics and the pigmentation.

BBiodegradable polymers have attracted great attention because of the increased environmental pollution by waste plastics. In this study, PLA (polylactic acid)/Clay-20 (Cloisite 20) and PLA (polylactic acid)/PBS (poly(butylene succinate)/Clay-20 (Cloisite 20) nanocomposites were manufactured in a twin-screw extruder. Specimens for mechanical properties of PLA/Clay-20 and PLA/PBS (90/10)/Clay-20 nanocomposites were prepared by injection molding. Thermal, mechanical, morphological and raman spectral properties of two nanocomposites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile tester, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and raman-microscope spectrophotometer, respectively. In addition, hydrolytic degradation properties of two nanocomposites were investigated by hydrolytic degradation test. It was confirmed that the crystallinity of PLA/Clay-20 and PLA/PBS/Clay-20 nanocomposite was increased with increasing Clay-20 content and the Clay-20 is miscible with PLA and PLA/PBS resin from DSC and SEM results. Tensile strength of two nanocomposites was decreased, but thier elongation, impact strength, tensile modulus and flexural modulus were increased with an increase of Clay-20 content. The impact strength of PLA/Clay-20 and PLA/PBS/Clay-20 nanocomposites with 5 wt% of Clay-20 content was increased above twice than that of pure PLA and PLA/PBS (90/10). The hydrolytic degradation rate of PLA/Clay-20 nanocomposite with 3 wt% of Clay-20 content was accelerated about twice than that of pure PLA. The reason is that degradation may occur in the PLA and Clay-20 interface easily because of hydrophilic property of organic Clay-20. It was confirmed that a proper amount of Clay-20 can improve the mechanical properties of PLA and can control biodegradable property of PLA.

Diblock copolymers consisting of methoxy Poly (ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and poly (${\epsilon}-ca$ prolactone) (PCL), poly(${\delta}-valerolactone$) (PVL), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), or poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) were prepared to compare the characterization of diblock copolymers as a drug carrier. MPEG-PCL, MPEG-PVL, MPEG-PLLA, and MPEG-PLGA diblock copolymers were synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of ${\epsilon}$-caprolactone or ${\delta}$-valerolactone in the presence of $HCl{\cdot}Et_2O$ as a monomer activator at room temperature and by the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide or a mixture of L-lactide and glycolide in the presence of stannous octoate at $130^{\circ}C$, respectively. The synthesized diblock copolymers were characterized with $^1H-NMR$, GPC, DSC, and XRD. The micellar characterization of MPEG-polyester diblock copolymers in an aqueous phase was carried out by using NMR, dynamic light scattering, AFM, and fluorescence techniques. Most micelles exhibited a spherical shape in AFM. Thus, ore confirmed that the micelles formed with MPEG-polyester diblock copolymers have possibility as a potential hydrophobic drug delivery vehicle because a hydrophobic drug could be preferentially distributed in the micelle core.

A biodegradable polymer poly((R) -3-hydroxybutyric acid) (PHB) was conjugated with a hydrophilic polymer poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) by the ttansesterification reaction to form the amphiphilic block copolymer. PHB with low molecular weight ($3000{\sim}30000$) was appropriated for the drug delivery materials. High molecular weight PHB was hydrolyzed by an acid-catalyst to produce the low molecular weight one. Amphiphilic block copolymer was formed the self-assembled polymeric micelle system in the aqueous solution that the hydrophillic PEG was wraped the hydrophobic PHB. Generally, polymeric micelle forms the small particle between $10{\sim}200nm$. These polymeric micelle systems have been widely used for the drug delivery systems because they were biodegradable, biocompatible, non-toxic and patient compliant. The hydroxyl group of PEG was substituted with carboxyl group which has the reactivity to the ester group of PHB. Amphiphilic block copolymer was conjugated between PHB, and modified PEG at $176^{\circ}C$ which was higher than the melting point of PHB. Transesterification reaction was verified with DSC, FTIR, $^1H-NMR$. In the aqueous solution, critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the mPEG-co-PHB copolymer measured by the fluororescence scanning spectrometer was $5{\times}10^{-5}g/L$. The shape and size of the nanoparticle was taken by dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy. The size of the nanoparticle was about 130 nm and the shape was spherical. Our polymeric micelle system can be used as the passive targeting drug delivery system.
