Higher density integration and adoption of new materials in advanced electronic package systems result in severe electrochemical reliability issues in microelectronic packaging due to higher electric field under high temperature and humidity conditions. Under these harsh conditions, metal interconnects respond to applied voltages by electrochemical ionization and conductive filament formation, which leads to short-circuit failure of the electronic package. In this work, in-situ water drop test and evaluation of corrosion characteristics for SnPb solder alloys in D.I. water and NaCl solutions were carried out to understand the fundamental electrochemical migration characteristics and to correlate each other. It was revealed that electrochemical migration behavior of SnPb solder alloys was closely related to the corrosion characteristics, and Pb was primarily ionized in both D.I. water and $Cl^{-}$ solutions. The quality of passive film formed at film surface seems to be critical not only for corrosion resistance but also for ECM resistance of solder alloys.

By calcining at $750^{\circ}C$ for 30 h in $O_2$ stream after milling, $LiNi_{1-y}M_yO_2(M=Zn^{2+},\;Al^{3+}$, and $Ti^{4+}$, y = 0.005, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1) were synthesized and their electrochemical properties were investigated. All the samples had R3m structure. $LiNi_{1-y}Zn_yO_2$ (y = 0.025, 0.05, and 0.1) contained ZnO anuor $Li_2ZnO_2$ as impurities. Among the samples substituted with the same element, the samples with relatively large value of $I_{003}/I_{104}$ and the smallest R-factor had the largest first discharge capacity and good cycling performance. $LiNi_{0.975}A1_{0.025}O_2$ had the largest first discharge capacity (172.5 mAh/g) and good cycling performance (about $89.4\%$ of the first discharge capacity at the 20th cycle). This sample had the largest value of $I_{003}/I_{104}$ and the smallest R-factor among all the samples. In addition, the particles of this sample were finer and their size was more homogeneous than the other samples. $LiNi_{0.95}A1_{0.05}O_2$ had relatively large first discharge capacity 150.4 mAh/g and good cycling performance.

Various surface treatment techniques can be applied onto the surface of carbon fibers to increase interlaminar shear strength (ILSS). In a commerciaI treatment, first, surface of carbon fiber was oxidized, after that, a sizing agent was coated to improve handleability and adhesion to the matrix. Carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRC) which is made of these fibers show excellent ILSS but show low vaIues of impact strength In this study, reactive and ductile interphase was introduced between fiber and matrix to increase both the ILSS and impact strength. By using electric conductivity of carbon fibers, flexible polymers which have ionizable group, i.e., MVEMA and EMA, were coated onto the surface (oxidized) of carbon fiber by the technique of electrodeposition. ILSS and impact strength of composites were evaluated according to the surface treatments, i.e., commercial sizing treatment, interphase introduction, and without sizing treatment. Izod impact strength and ILSS of CFRC were simultaneously improved in thc thickness range of $0.08{\sim}0.12{\mu}m$ of MVEMA interphase. Water resistance of the composites was decreased by introducing MVEMA interphase.

Three kinds of $Al_3Ti-Cr$ alloys, namely, $Al_{67}Ti_{25}Cr_8,\;Al_{66}Ti_{24}Cr_{10}\;and\;Al_{59}Ti_{26}Cr_{15}$, were prepared by induction melting followed by the thermomechanical treatment. The corrosion behavior in 3.5% NaCl solution and the high-temperature oxidation behavior at 1000, 1100 and $1200^{\circ}C$ for the prepared alloys were investigated. Electrochemical results indicated increased resistance to localized corrosion with increasing Cr content. Cr additions were found to prevent passive film from undergoing brittle fracture. XPS results revealed the passive films of $Al_3Ti-Cr$ alloys were composed mainly of $Al_2O_3$ that coexisted with $TiO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$. The overall oxidation resistance of the prepared alloys were excellent. Specifically, the oxidation resistance increased in the order of $Al_{59}Ti_{26}Cr_{15},\;Al_{66}Ti_{24}Cr_{10}\;and\;Al_{67}Ti_{25}Cr_8$. As the Al content in the base alloys increased, the $Al_2O_3$ formation was facilitated leading to the increased oxidation resistance.

The primary purposes of this study are to understand a fundamental aspect of current uniformity around a reinforcing bar (rebar) in cement mortar, and to develop an accurate monitoring method in a wet-dry cycling process with the alternative current (AC) impedance method. Three cement mortar specimens with two embedded rebars were prepared in the laboratory. As a main variable, the distance between two rebars was designed to be 10, 20 and 30 mm with the same thickness of 20 mm. To simulate the corrosion of rebars in concrete structures in a marine environment, three cement mortar specimens were exposed to 15 wet-drying cycles (24-hour-immersion in seawater and 48-hour-drying in a room temperature) in the laboratory. It was observed that the potential level shifted to a noble value during corrosion potential monitoring, which is attributed to acceleration of dissolved oxygen diffusion at the drying process. AC impedance was measured in a frequency range from 100 kHz to 1 mHz on a wet-drying process. A theoretical model was proposed to explain the interface condition between the rebars and cement mortar by using the equivalent circuit consisting of a solution resistance, a charge transfer resistance and a CPE (constant phase element). It was observed that the diffusion impedance appeared in a low frequency range as corrosion of rebars progresses. At the drying stage of the wet-drying cycles, the currents line for monitoring tended to be non-uniform at the interface of rebar/mortar, being phase shift, ${\theta}$, close to $-45^{\circ}$.

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.

In our society, the advanced, advanced, and information industries have continued to grow and now live in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. As the industry develops, the load of the users has also increased so much that it is deepened by the energy shortage phenomenon and the construction of additional energy facilities is required. Therefore, energy plant construction work is being actively carried out in the coastal area. In particular, it is common to build a plant in the ground by filling the coast with soil in other regions, reflecting the fact that Korea is lacking in the country when constructing power plants, gas and petrochemical plants. Current domestic grounding designs are designed or constructed to suit only the use of grounding resistors based on the electrical equipment design technical standards. However, in the case of a plant facility constructed in the untested buried soil, when the lightning current and the abnormal current are inputted, the facility operator or the user due to the elevation of the ground potential is seriously exposed to the risk of electric shock disaster. In this paper, we analyze the ground resistivity of the landfilled soil and use a computer program (CDEGS) based on KS C IEC 61936-1, We analyze the contact voltage and stratification voltage and propose a grounding design optimized for plant installation.

In order to study the effects of enzyme modification on the physico-chemical and functional properties of myofibrillar protein prepared from the frozen sardine, Sardinops melanostica, the protein was hydrolyzed with pepsin under the enzyme-substrate ratio 1:100 at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 1.65 for 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hr, respectively. The properties of pepsin-modified sardine myofibriliar protein were determined. The extents of proteolysis with pepsin as a fuction of time was showed a typical enzyme hydorlysis curve with an initial region of 4 hour period followed by plateau region. The SDS-acrylamide slab gel electrophoresis patterns of pepsin-modified proteins showed mainly disappearances of minor protein bands, but no changes of main protein bands. The gel filtration patterns through Sephadex G-75 of sardine myofibrillar protein showed two big peaks and three small peaks. All the small peaks were disappearanced by proteolysis with pepsin in one hour. and during the period of proteolysis the fast big peak became gradually smaller and the late big peak eluted more slowly. By proteolysis, the emulsifying activity and emulsifying capacity of sardine myofibrillar protein were all decreased. The effects of pepsin-modification on emulsifying capacity were greater than those on emulsifying activity of protein. The aeration capacity of the protein was increased about 1.9 folds and the foam stability decreased to 0.6 folds of control by pepsin-modification. The pepsin-modified sardine myofibrillar proteins showed about 0.6 folds of heat coagulation and 1.4 folds of viscosity of control. The pH dependence of solubilities of sardine myofibrillar protein showed two isoelectric areas of pH 5 and 9. The pepsin-modified protein showed more clear pH dependences at the early stage but not at the late stage of proteolysis.

With the rapid advance of the semiconductor and Information and communication technologies, remote environment monitoring technology, which can detect and analyze surrounding environmental conditions with various types of sensors and wireless communication technologies, is also drawing attention. However, since the conventional remote environmental monitoring systems require external power supplies, it causes time and space limitations on comfortable usage. In this study, we proposed the concept of the self-powered remote environmental monitoring system by supplying the power with the levitation-electromagnetic generator (L-EMG), which is rationally designed to effectively harvest biomechanical energy in consideration of the mechanical characteristics of biomechanical energy. In this regard, the proposed L-EMG is designed to effectively respond to the external vibration with the movable center magnet considering the mechanical characteristics of the biomechanical energy, such as relatively low-frequency and high amplitude of vibration. Hence the L-EMG based on the fragile force equilibrium can generate high-quality electrical energy to supply power. Additionally, the environmental detective sensor and wireless transmission module are composed of the micro control unit (MCU) to minimize the required power for electronic device operation by applying the sleep mode, resulting in the extension of operation time. Finally, in order to maximize user convenience, a mobile phone application was built to enable easy monitoring of the surrounding environment. Thus, the proposed concept not only verifies the possibility of establishing the self-powered remote environmental monitoring system using biomechanical energy but further suggests a design guideline.

Seed pelleting is generally conducted in order to save the labor for sowing and thinning by enabling the precision mechanical planting. In the present study, the influence of physical and chemical properties of pelleting solid materials was investigated on carrot seed germination. Among the pelleting solid materials evaluated, dialite, kaolin, and talc showed low bulk density and high porosity. Bentonite and dialite carried high water holding capacities of 184% and 173%, respectively, while calcium carbonate, calcium oxide, and fly ash showed relatively low water holding capacity. The pH of kaolin (6.8) and dialite (7.4) were close to neutral, while limestone (12.8), calcium oxide (13.0), and bentonite (10.0) were highly basic. High electro-conductivity was shown in limestone and calcium oxide. EDS analysis revealed that the main elemental compositions of talc were Si (71.0%) and Mg (29.0%), and those of calcium carbonate were Ca (66.6%), Si (22.9%), and Mg (10.5%). High granulation capacity was observed from talc and the mixture of talc and calcium carbonate. Seeds pelleted with bentonite showed the highest hardness. The dissolving type of the pellet layer after imbibition was split type in talc, limestone, zeolite, and fly ash, melt type in calcium carbonate and calcium oxide, and swell type in bentonite and vermiculite. The shortest dissolving time of pellet layer was observed from calcium carbonate and kaolin. The germination speed $(T_{50})$ was delayed as the size of pelleted seeds increased. The optimum size of pelleting was 19 ratio in carrot.
