In this study, ZnO, which is widely known as a non $TiO_2$ photocatalyst, was synthesized using coprecipitation method and Ag was added in order to improve the catalytic performance. The physicochemical characteristics of the synthesized ZnO and Ag/ZnO particles were checked using X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), photoluminescence (PL), and photocurrent measurements. The performance of catalysts was tested by $H_2$ production using the photolysis of $H_2O$ with MeOH. By adding Ag which plays a role as an electron capture on the ZnO catalyst, the performance increased due to the recombination of excited electrons and holes. In particular, $8.60{\mu}mol\;g^{-1}$ $H_2$ was produced after 10 h reaction over the 0.50 mol% Ag/ZnO.

The method of natural spawning is very passive and inconvenient for the study of developmental engineering in marine medaka, Oryzias dancena. The optimum concentration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and carp pituitary extract (CPE) for ovulation and spawning, and the injection time for the artificial spawning of marine medaka were analyzed in this study. The success rate, survival rate, and hatching rate were highest with 100IU HCG kg^-1 BW and 5mg CPE L^-1 in both male and female marine medaka (p<0.05). After obtaining unfertilized eggs and sperm by the injection of HCG and CPE into the broodstock of marine medaka, artificial fertilization could be successfully achieved any time fertilized eggs are needed in this species. This result should be useful for developing a study program for marine medaka as an experimental animal.

The Clay Statues of Donggwanwangmyo Shrine (Treasure No. 142) are highly damaged physical weathering which are crack, exfoliation. Pigment of surface are discolored by chemical weathering like dust. The result of ultrasonic velocity measurement, low velocity zone was measured the lowest part of Woojanggun Statue. Deficiency condition of pigment layer was evaluated quantitatively through infrared Thermography. As a result, exfoliation part was detected at high temperature. Making techniques of the Clay statues were identified by gamma rays, infrared TV, SEM. All Clay Statues were founded on wood base and joints of wood were fixed using thin iron wires. After wood base was twisted a straw rope, it was made by clay. Clay was blended with rice straw to prevention of crack and exfoliation. The upper side of clay layer was coated with Hanji(Korean handmade paper) and cotton in order to isolate the pigment layer.

We have investigated the effects of deposition angle on magnetic and magneto-optic properties in Co/Pt multilayer thin films. which were prepared bye-beam evaporation on tilted substrates. with varying tilt angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. The structure of the specimens was examined by x-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. and the magnetic and magneto-optical properties were measured by VSM, torque magnetometer, and Kerr loop tracer. X-ray diffractometry revealed that all of the specimens had multilayer structure and growth orientation of column followed the tangent rule but the crystallograpic orientation, <111>, was slightly deviated from the substrate normal even though the deposition angle was increased up to $60^{\circ}$. A decrement of the magnetization and Kerr angle with the deposition angle was related with that of the film density due to increasing porosity. The perpendicular mag¬netic anisotropy was also decreased with increasing the deposition angle.

Electrostatic spray pyrolysis, a novel fabrication technique, has been used in this study to prepare calcium phosphate nano powders. Final annealing was done at $400^{\circ}C$ for 30min in air. The hydroxyapatite - forming ability of the annealed powder has been evaluated in Eagle's minimum essential medium solution (MEM). X-ray diffraction analysis, field emission - scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscope were used to characterized the annealed powders after immersion in MEM. The powder with an amorphous structure induced hydroxyapatite formation on their surfaces after immersion fer 15 days.

In this work, the effect of electroless Ni-plating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on thermal conductivity and fracture toughness properties of MWCNTs/$Al_2O_3$/epoxy composites was investigated. The surface properties of the Ni-plated MWCNTs were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermal conductivity was tested using a thermal conductivity measuring system. The fracture toughness of the composites was carried out through the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) measurement. As a result, the electroless Ni-plated MWCNTs led to a significant change of surface characteristics of the MWCNTs. Thermal conductivity and fracture toughness of the MWCNTs/$Al_2O_3$/epoxy composites were greater than those of non-treated ones. These results were probably due to the improvement of intermolecular interaction between the Ni-MWCNTs and the matrix resins.

This paper describes the implementation of AUSV system for sonar image acquisition to survey the seabed. The system is controlled by Feed Forward PID algorithm on the vessel for bearing of the thrusters composed of motion sensor and DGPS which calculates the differences between the current location and the destination location for longitude and latitude based on GPS coordinates. As experimental results, the bearing control performance is good that the error distance from the destination positions are under 6m in total survey track of 1km. And the sonar image deviation of a object is under 12 pixels from the manned survey method, which the comparison with the total image quality is almost the same as the manned survey one. Thus the proposed AUSV system is a new method of system can be utilized at the limited survey areas as the surveyor should not be able to approach on sea surface by onboard vessel.

Titanate nanotube(TNT)는 높은 비표면적과 우수한 물리화학적 특성을 가지고 있어 광촉매, 수소 저장재료, 태양전지용 전극재료 등에 적용되고 있다. 또한, 티타네이트 나노튜브는 전자 이동이 원활한 구조적 특징을 가지고 있어 리듐 이차전지용 호스트 재료로서 많은 연구가 진행 중이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 저온균일침전법으로 제조한 루틸상 $TiO_2$ 분말에 Lithium chloride를 1~10wt%를 동시에 첨가한 후 10M의 sodium hydroxide 수용액 내에서 수열합성하여 리튬이 도핑된 티타네이트 나노튜브를 제조하였다. 제조된 분말의 입자형상 및 크기는 전자주사 현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, X-선 회절분석을 이용하여 리튬 첨가에 따른 결정상 변화를 관찰하였다. 또한 리튬이 도핑된 티타네이트 나노튜브의 전기화학적 특성 평가를 위해 양극 활물질 : 도전제 : 바인더를 75 : 20 : 5의 비율로 혼합한 후 coin cell을 제조하였고, potentiostat를 이용하여 용량 측정 및 cycle 특성을 실시하였다. 수열 합성법에 의해 형성된 입자는 직경 10nm, 길이 수 ${\mu}m$로 관찰되었으며, X-선 회절 시험 결과 LiO와 같은 이차상은 발견되지 않았다. 측정된 coin cell의 용량은 240mAh/g을 나타내었으나, 싸이클 특성이 빠르게 저하됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

CuO 나노입자는 전기화학적 전지, 가스 센서 및 태양전지와 같은 나노 전자소자에 응용할 수 있는 대단히 유용한 물질이다. CuO 나노구조를 형성하기 위한 방법은 솔-겔법, 전기 화학적 방법 및 전구체의 열적 탈착방법 등으로 연구되어 왔으나 CuO 나노입자의 열처리 효과는 상대적으로 연구가 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 스핀 코팅법과 열처리를 사용하여 형성한 CuO 나노입자의 물리적 성질을 살펴보았다. CuO 나노 입자를 형성하기 위해 methanol에 Cu(I) acetate (5 wt%) 을 적절히 분산한 용액을 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 7000 rpm으로 스핀 코팅을 한 후 $300^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$ 및 $700^{\circ}C$로 각각 1 시간 동안 산소 분위기에서 열처리를 하였다. X-선 회절법 결과는 CuO의 (200)$K_{\alpha}$와 (400) $K_{\alpha}$ 회절에 해당하는 피크가 나타났고 주사 전자현미경 상의 결과는 CuO 나노입자가 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 나노입자의 크기는 고배율 투과 전자현미경상에 의하여 3-5 nm 인 것으로 확인하였고 300 K에서 측정한 광루미네선스 스펙트럼은 CuO의 주된 스펙트럼 피크가 푸른색 영역에서 나타남을 알 수 있었다. X-선 광전자 분광법 스펙트럼은 Cu $2p_{3/2}$와 O 1s의 전자상태를 보여주었으며 복잡한 산화상태를 갖는 CuO는 Cu-O 결합과 산소의 화학적 흡착상태를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 $Al_2O_3$ 기판 위에 최적화된 CuO 나노 입자의 형성 방법과 구조적, 광학적 및 전자적 특성을 이해하는데 도움을 제공해 줄 것이다.

This study focuses on the removal of water-suspended toluene of a representative sick house compounds in a liquid photo-system using nanometer-sized Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ which was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The characteristics of the synthesized Sn-$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). To estimate the photocatalytic activity of Sn-$TiO_2$, the photodegradation of water-suspended toluene was performed, and the remaining concentration was determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. The water-suspended toluene photodegradation over Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ catalyst was better than that over pure $TiO_2$ (anatase). The water-suspended toluene of 500 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 300 minutes over 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$.
