Fine-grained peridotite xenoliths are rarely trapped in the basaltic rocks from the southeastern part of Jeju Island. Based on textural characteristics of the constituent phases showing uniform-sized, fine-grained tabular to mosaic grains with rare porphyroclastic relics, the studied samples can be defined as fine-grained, foliated porphyroclastic peridotites (FPP). Almost no significant difference among the FPPs in textures and major element compositions implies that the FPPs were derived from a structural domain, experiencing similar deformation events and deformation patterns. Moreover, the bimodal distribution with kink-banded porphyroclasts ($2{\sim}3mm$) and stain-free neoblasts ($200{\sim}300{\mu}m$), straight to gently curved grain boundaries with triple junctions, interstitial melt pockets, and microstructures for migrating grain boundary suggest that the studied samples went through dynamic recrystallization (${\pm}$ static recrystallization) in the presence of melt/fluid movement along foliation planes. No notable difference between the FPP and common protogranular xenoliths in major element compositions and geochemical evolution also implies that the FPP and protogranular xenoliths were from a similar horizon. Thus, the textural and geochemical characteristics of the FPPs reflects deformation events occurred at a localized and narrow zone within the lithospheric mantle beneath the Jeju Island. Although further detailed studies are necessary to define deformation events, the most possible process which could trigger deformation in the FPP in the rigid upper mantle was the ascending basaltic magma forming high-stress deformation zones. The suggested high-stress deformation zones in the lithosphere beneath the Jeju Island may be produced by paleo-faulting events related to the ascent of basalt magma before Jeju Island was formed.

In order to observe the localization of excretory, purified and infected antigenic protein in the tissue of Trichinella spiralis larvae, immunogoldlabeling methodology using IgG and protein A-gold complex was implemented. T. spiralis larvae obtained from rat muscle were initially cultured in medium, and secreted excretory antigen was collected for 1 or 3 days. Purified antigenic protein was obtained from homogenized T. spiralis larvae. Rabbits were then immunized with 1 or 3 days secreted excretory protein and purified 45 kDa protein, and IgG was purified from collected serum. Serum, against infected antigen, collected from rat on 1 and 4 weeks after infection with T. spiralis larvae, and IgG was purified from collected serum. T. spiralis larvae were embedded in Lowicryl HM20 medium. Then they were finally treated with immunized IgG and protein A-gold complex (particle size; 15 nm) and observed under electron microscope. In T. spiralis larvae tissue, the tissue antigen reacted with rabbit IgC antigen Day 1 secreted excretory protein, infected antigenic protein and purified 45 kDa protein. But different distribution pattern of labeled gold particles were observed. When Day 1 secreted excretoy protein was used, gold particle labeling was observed specifically on the cuticle, basal layer, esophagus interstitial matrix (EIM) and ${\alpha}_0,\;{\alpha}_1$ granules of stichocyte of the worm. In a separate group of tissue, the antigen reacted with rabbit IgG against Day 3 secreted excretory protein. Labeled gold particles were specifically distributed on the surface layer of cuticle, EIM and ${\alpha}_0$ granules of stichocyte of the worm. In case of using infected antigenic protein, gold particle labeling was specifically distributed on the cuticle and EIM of the worm. When purifed 45 kDa protein was used gold particle labeling was specifically distributed on the cuticle, basal layer, EIM and ${\alpha}_0,\;{\alpha}_1$ granules of stichocyte of the worm. Therefore, excretory antigens appeared to originate from the cuticle and ${\alpha}_0,\;{\alpha}_1$ granules of stichocyte for the first day but the cuticle layer associated with globular proteins and ${\alpha}_0$ granules of stichocyte after 3 days and infected antigens appeared to originate from the cuticle for 1 and 4 weeks after infection. These results suggest that excretory and infection specific antigens are secreted into the cuticle, basal layer, EIM and ${\alpha}_0,\;{\alpha}_1$ granules of stichocyte and 45 kDa protein may be contained these specific antigens.

In this study, we have investigated microstructure, mechanical properties and wear characteristic of aluminum metal matrix composites with a high volume fraction and uniformly dispersed SiC particles which produced by a liquid pressing process. The volume fraction of bimodal SiC/Al7075 composite was 12% higher than that of the monomodal SiC/Al7075 composite and a compressive strength is increased about 200 MPa. As a result of the abrasion test, the wear width and depth of the bimodal SiC/Al7075 composite were $285.1{\mu}m$ and $0.45{\mu}m$, respectively. The coefficient of friction of bimodal SiC/Al7075 was 0.16.

Nowadays, silk fibroin receives a lot of attention as novel natural biomaterials due to its excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability. Electrohydrodynamic spraying (EHDS) is one of the method for the preparation of micro or nanoparticles by applying high voltage to the polymer solution. In this research, we fabricated silk fibroin porous microparticles by electrohydrodynamic spraying. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was added to the fibroin solution to give pores to silk fibroin microparticles. By the addition of PEG, the microparticle size was decreased despite of the decrease in conductivity and the increase of viscosity of the spraying solution. It seems that the immiscibility of silk fibroin and PEG affected much more to the microparticle size than the conductivity and viscosity. Immersing the as-sprayed microparticles into the water removed the phase-separated PEG, and finally, porous silk fibroin microparticles were prepared. The porous silk fibroin microparticles are expected to be applied as drug carriers in drug delivery or cell carriers in tissue engineering.

해안 퇴적 환경의 가장 기본적인 특징은 퇴적물의 입도 특성을 통해 파악할 수 있다. 퇴적물 특성을 정량적으로 표현하는 대표적인 방법은 입자 크기에 대한 값을 이용하여 평균입도(mean size), 분급도(sorting), 왜도(skewness), 첨도(kurtosis) 등의 퇴적물 입도 조직 변수를 구하여 표현하는 것이다. 퇴적 환경에서 입도 분포는 퇴적물의 이동과 퇴적의 동적 상태를 나타내는 기본적인 정보이다. (중략)

ZnO는 비선형 전류전압 특성으로 인해 급작스런 과전류로부터 회로를 보호하는 바리스터로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 바리스터의 전기적 특성 및 미세조직을 제어하기 위하여 다양한 첨가물을 넣은 ZnO 바리스터의 미세구조에는 대부분의 입자에 wurtzite 구조의 결정학적 극성이 바뀌는 inversion boundary (IB)가 존재한다. ZnO의 비선형 전류전압 특성이 반도성의 ZnO 입자간 계면에 형성되는 쇼트키 장벽에 기인함을 감안할 때 계면의 결정화학적 특성에 영향을 주는 IB에 대한 이해는 필수적이다. 본 연구에서 IB가 ZnO 바리스터의 성능에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 ZnO-$Bi_2O_3$에 각각 $Sb_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 를 첨가하여 결정학적 특성이 서로 상반되는 IB를 유도하였고, 첨가량을 조절하여 모든 입자가 IB를 가지도록 하였다. 화학 에칭을 한 시편의 SEM 관찰을 통해 입자의 형상, 크기, 분포 및 IB의 결정학적 특성 등을 분석하였다. 각 시편의 바리스터 특성은 임피던스의 온도 의존성과 상온에서의 전류-전압 특성을 통해 평가하였다. 관찰된 전기적 특성들을 입내 IB의 결정학적 구조와 이로부터 결과되는 입계면의 극성의 차이를 통해 해석하고자 한다.

Nano-sized titanium oxide and zirconium oxide powders were synthesized by hydrolysis of titanium isopropoxide $[Ti(OC_3H7)_4]$ and zirconium tetrachloride ($ZrC1_4$) via a sol-gel technique. Lead titanate powders were prepared by mixing $TiO_2$ precursors with PbO slurry made with dilute $NH_4OH$. Lead zirconate titanate powders were, then, synthesized by mixing $PbTiO_3$ with $ZrO_2$ powders. The goal of this research was to obtain the $PbZrTiO_3(PZT)$ powders and sintering these powders at low temperature. The $PbTiO_3$ and PZT powders after firing were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM) was utilized to observe the shape and size of the synthesized nano-particles. In the XRD pattern, the well-crystallized PZT phase could be obtained in consequence of firing at $900^{\circ}C$. SEM micrographs also showed that grains of PZT were relatively well grown with the size of the range of $2{\~}4{\mu}m$. The densified perovskite structure of $PbZrTiO_3$ could be obtained by sintering at temperature as low as $900^{\circ}C$. Characterization of the samples showed improved piezoelectric properties.
