The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of underwater non-thermal dielectric barrier discharge plasma (DBD plasma) on the sterilization of three types of pathogenic bacteria that cause diseases in freshwater fish and the reduction of a tetracycline antibiotics. This experiment was conducted in the DBD plasma generator, and the voltages used to generate plasma were 11.6 kV and 23.1 kV. The measurement intervals were 0, 1, 5, 10 and 15 min. As a result of DBD plasma treatment, Aeromonas hydrophila, Edwardsiella tarda and Pseudomonas fluorescens were removed 93-99% after 5 min at 23.1 kV, and the tetracycline antibiotics were reduced 70-95% after 15 min at 23.1 kV. In this study, as a result of treating the effluent with DBD plasma at a fish farm where the medicinal bath was conducted with oxytetracycline-HCl (OTC-HCl) products, OTC-HCl decreased by 62% after 10 min at 23.1 kV.

A wire-plate discharge system with a slit barrier has been proposed and investigated experimentally by focusing on the discharges on the slit barrier and ozone generation characteristics. This wire-plate discharge system with a slit barrier can generate an intensive corona discharges, and produce corona discharge twice, once from the corona wire electrode and second time from the surface and the slits of the slit dielectric barrier. As a result this propose wire-plate discharge system with the slit barrier can produce greatly increased ozone than without the slit barrier. This type of wire-plate discharge system with the slit barrier could be used for effective ozone generation as a means with retard to the removal of pollutant gas

A combined process of non-thermal plasma and catalytic techniques has been investigated to treat toxic gas compounds in air. The treated gas in the present study is $CH_3$CN that has been known to be a simulant of toxic chemical agent. A planar type dielectric barrier discharge(DBD) reactor has been used to generate non-thermal plasma that produces various chemically active species, O, N, OH, $O_3$, ion, electrons, etc. Several different types of adsorbents and catalysts, which are MS 5A, MS 13X, Pt/alumina, are packed into the plasma reactor, and have been tested to save power consumption and to treat by-products. Various aspects of the present techniques, which are decomposition efficiencies along with the power consumption, by-product analysis, reaction pathways modified by the adsorbents and catalysts, have been discussed in the present study.

Low voltage atmospheric plasma generation using DBD Initiation carrier injection is reported. DBD afterglow was used as initiation carriers prior to a primary discharge and a significant reduction in the breakdown voltage of atmospheric discharge was observed when sufficient initiation carriers were provided. Quantative correlation study between the breakdown voltage and the initiation carriers suggests that the atmospheric breakdown voltage reduces to only half of the breakdown voltage for Townsend regime. Also, use of DBD initiation carrier injection likely offers better device reliability by protecting electrodes with a dielectric layer and thus suppressing electrode wear.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) reactor with sinsodual AC type of power supply is very widely adopted for its compact size and effective discharging mechanism to generate high density of ozone radicals. However, at the aspect of design on power supply, its optimal switching conditions and topology is achieved by empirical test. Therefore, throughout this paper, it is proposed a design method of DBD power supply to guarantee a maximum ozone yield rate in accordance with DBD reactor modification and impedance variation when rapid gas discharging in the DBD reactor is proceeded.

A combined process of non-thermal plasma and catalytic technique has been investigated to treat $CH_3$CN gas in the atmosphere. A planar type dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor has been used to generate the non-thermal plasma that produces various chemically active species, such as O, N, OH, $O_3$, ion, electrons, etc. Several different types of the beads. which are Molecular Sieve (MS) 5A, MS 13X, Pt/alumina beads, are packed into the DBD reactor, and have been tested to characterize the effects of adsorption and catalytic process on treating the $CH_3$CN gas in the DBD reactor. The test results showed that the operating power consumption and the amounts of the by-products of the non-thermal plasma process can be reduced by the assistance of the adsorption and catalytic process.

An air/quartz dielectric double barrier pulse discharge has been investigated to develop a novel si lent type ozone generator. It is found that there are very active pulsed coronas occurred in the airgap which are very useful for ozone generation. And, the corona onset voltage of the airgap of the air/quartz double barrier was enfluenced greatly by the airgap of the air/quartz dielectric double barrier, and depended greatly upon the airgap ranged of $0.0{\sim}3.0mm$ and by the quartz tube thickness ranged of $1.75{\sim}2.25mm$.

High voltage plasma power supply was adopted to control polluted gases and an ozone generation. Bidirectional pulse power supply consisted of power semiconductor switch devices, a high voltage transformer, and a control board adapted switching method. Plasma power supply with sinusoidal bidirectional pulse, which has output voltage range of 0-20kV and output frequency range of 1kHz-20kHz, is realized. Using proposed system, pulsed high voltage/high frequency discharges were tested in a DBD(dielectric barrier discharge) reactor, and the spatial distribution of a glow discharge was observed. The system showed stable operational characteristics, even though the voltage and the frequency increased. Above features were verified by experiments.

Solanum stoloniferum, one of the wild tetraploid Solanum species belonging to the Solanaceae family, is an excellent resource for potato breeding owing to its resistance to several important pathogens. However, the sexual hybridization of S. stoloniferum with S. tuberosum (potato) is hampered due to the sexual incompatibility between the two species. To overcome this and introgress the various novel traits of S. stoloniferum in cultivated potatoes, cell fusion can be performed. The identification of the fusion products is crucial and can be achieved with the aid of molecular markers. In this study, the chloroplast genome sequence of S. stoloniferum was obtained by next-generation sequencing technology, and compared with that of six other Solanum species to identify S. stoloniferum-specific molecular markers. The length of the complete chloroplast genome of S. stoloniferum was found to be 155,567 bp. The structural organization of the chloroplast genome of S. stoloniferum was similar to that of the six other Solanum species studied. Phylogenetic analysis of S. stoloniferum with nine other Solanaceae family members revealed that S. stoloniferum was most closely related to S. berthaultii. Additional comparison of the complete chloroplast genome sequence of S. stoloniferum with that of five Solanum species revealed the presence of six InDels and 39 SNPs specific to S. stoloniferum. Based on these InDels and SNPs, four PCR-based markers were developed to differentiate S. stoloniferum from other Solanum species. These markers will facilitate the selection of fusion products and accelerate potato breeding using S. stoloniferum.

ZnO 바리스터는 인가되는 전압에 따라 저항이 변하는 전압 의존형 저항체이며 각종 전기 전자 정보통신용 제품에 정전기(ESD) 대책용 소자로 폭 넓게 사용되는 전자 세라믹스 부품이다. 특별히 Bi-based ZnO 바리스터는 다양한 상(phase)으로 구성되어 있으며 그 입계의 전기적 특성은 소량 첨가되는 dopant의 종류에 따라 다양하게 변하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 Bi-based ZnO 바리스터 (ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$, ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Mn_3O_4$)에서 각종 유전함수$(Z^*,M^*,\varepsilon^*,Y^*,tan{\delta})$를 이용하여 입계의 주파수-온도에 대한 특성을 살펴 보았다. 일반적인 ZnO 바리스터 제조법으로 시편을 제작하여 78K~800K 온도 범위에서 각종 유전함수를 이용하여 복소 평면도(complex plane plot)와 주파수 응답도(frequency explicit plot)의 방법으로 defect level과 입계 특성(활성화 에너지, 정전용량, 저항, 입계 안정성 등)에 대하여 고찰하였다. ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$(ZB)계와 ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Mn_3O_4$(ZBM)계 모두 상온 이하의 온도에서 $Zn_i$와 $V_o$의 결함이 나타났으며, 이들의 결함 준위는 각 유전함수에 따라 다소 차이가 났다. 입계 특성으로 ZB계는 이상구간(560~660K)을 전후로 1.15 eV $\rightarrow$ 1.49 eV의 활성화 에너지의 변화가 나타났지만, ZBM계는 이러한 현상이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 입계 전위 장벽의 온도 안정성에 대해서는 Cole-Cole model을 적용하여 분포 파라미터 (distribution parameter; $\alpha$)를 구하여 고찰하였다. ZB계의 입계 안정성은 온도에 따라 불안정해 졌지만, ZBM계는 안정하였다.
