As the import and export cargos across the world increase with global trade environments, the ecocide caused lots of small marine organisms in the ship's ballast water is a big issue. The implementation of the BWTS (Ballast water treatment system) thus needs low-voltage high-current rectifier for electrolytic disinfection. So this paper proposes a suitable high-current inverter-type rectifier for electrolytic disinfection of seawater and analyzes its output characteristics. It also suggests the practical design guidelines for the proposed rectifier in terms of power circuit and controller designs.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between concepts on chemical reaction rates and concepts on chemical equilibrium in high school students. The subjects of the investigation consisted of 120 third grade students attending high school in K city of Kyunggi province. For this study, questionnaire relevant to the subject of chemical reaction rates and chemical equilibrium was developed and the answers were analyzed. As a result of the study, a large percentage of high school students answered questions on reaction rates correctly, but only a small percentage of the students could give explanations. Many high school students answered questions on the rates of forward reactions correctly, but not the questions on the rates of reverse reactions. For the concepts on chemical equilibrium, many high school students gave correct answers when faced with equilibrium questions that only required the understanding of one side of the reaction. But the students could not answer the questions requiring understanding of both forward and reverse reactions as well. Overall, there was a little high correlation between concepts on chemical reaction rates and concepts on chemical equilibrium in high school students. Especially, high school students with little understanding of reverse reaction rates did not understand that chemical equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium. Also, high school students with little understanding of the collision mechanism regarding chemical reaction rates did not understand the effect of concentration and catalyst factors on chemical equilibrium. And the correlation between concepts on chemical reaction rates and concepts on chemical equilibrium related to concentration and catalyst factors was low. In conclusion, the formation of scientific concepts on chemical reactions rates can decrease misconceptions on chemical equilibrium. Also the teaching-learning method limited to one side of a reaction can cause difficulty in forming the concepts on chemical dynamic equilibrium. Therefore, the development of a teaching-learning method which covers both the forward and reverse reactions can be effective in helping students form the concepts on chemical equilibrium.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the students' conceptions about the reaction rate changes during the chemical equilibrium shifts and also whether the questions about basic concepts of the reaction rate are helpful for the students' understanding of reaction rate changes during the chemical equilibrium shifts. The subjects were 100 students in the 12th grade. The questionnaires were composed of A, B, and A' set, which had to be answered sequentially. The A set consisted of questions asking the change of reaction rate when chemical equilibrium was shifted, the B set was to testify the basic concepts of the reaction rate, and the A' set was the same as the A set. The results showed that the students' understanding of the reverse reaction rate change was lower than that of the forward reaction rate change during the equilibrium shift. Also it was found that students' understanding of the reaction rate change caused by adding the reactant was fairly good while their understanding of the reaction rate change caused by temperature increment was very poor. Since the students marked very high scores in the B set questions, their poor understanding for the reaction rate changes during the equilibrium shifts was not seemed to be due to the lacks of the basic knowledge of reaction rate. Instead, it was due to the failure of applying the basic knowledge of reaction rate to the changes of reaction conditions. It was also found that the average scores of A' set were statistically higher than those of A set. It means the B set items were helpful for the students to solve the A' set items. These results evidenced the possibility of set questionnaires could help the students to connect the related concepts in solving the problems.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the understandings of science high school students on the conception of chemical cell in relation to chemical equilibrium from the microscopic viewpoint at molecular level through questionnaires and follow-up interviews. The results show that they have high understandings on the chemical equilibrium states in the electrochemical cell and on the redox reaction taking place simultaneously when a metal electrode is immersed in the metal ion solution. However, they do not fully comprehend the development of electrical potential difference, electron movement, electrode potential measurement in the half-cells, and calculation of the net cell voltage between anode and cathode in the chemical cell because of difficulties in the microscopic understanding the interaction on the interface at the electrode and the electrolyte solution.

이온성 계면활성제 존재하에서 유기용매에 물을 첨가하면 물이 계면활성제에 약해 둘러싸이면서 유기용매에 용해되어 의사 이상계가 형성된다. 이러한 계를 역미셀 또는 W/O microemulsion이라고 하며 계면활성제로 둘러 쌓인 물분자 집하체를 water pool이라고 한다. 그런데, 10여년 전 water pool에 bipolymer를 용해시킬 수 있다는 사실이 밟혀짐에 따라 이러한 체계를 생체막을 단순화시킨 모형막으로서 막을 통해 일어나는 여러 가지 현상의 규명에 이용하거나 물에 불용성인 기질의 효소 촉매반응의 반응계로 이용하는 연구가 꾸준히 이루어져 있다. 본 강연은 역미셀계에 리파제를 용해시켜 유지의 가수분해를 유도함으로써 지방산을 생산하는 방법에 관한 연구이다. 역미셀계에서 리파제의 특성은 에멀전계와 비교했을 때 큰 차이가 없었으며 물과 계면활성제의 몰 비율(R값)은 효소의 초기반응 속도에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 인자로 나타났다. 올리브유 농도가 5%(v/v), AOT농도가 0.1M, 초기 물 농도가 1.0M의 조건에서 유지의 회분식 가수분해 실험을 행한 결과 이 기질은 거의 완전히 가수분해되었으며, 이 반응계에서 R값과 초기 물 농도는 반응의 평형에 커다란 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났는데 초기 물 농도가 증가할수록 평형 가수분해율은 증가하였단 이러한 결과를 반응속도론 측면에서 분석한 결과 역미셀계에서 리파제 반응은 에멀전계에서와는 달리 2차 반응을 따르는 것으로 나타났다. 물 농도가 평형 가수 분해율과 속도 변수에 끼치는 영향을 수학적으로 표시하기 위하여 2차 가역적 반응 속도론에 근거하여 가수분해율, 평형상수, 속도상수 둥을 나타내는 식을 유도하였고 이를 바탕으로 여러 가지 실험 조건 하에서 리파제 반응의 반응 시간에 따른 가수분해율을 예측한 결과는 실제 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다(편차는 5%). 또한 속도상수와 R값과의 관계식 및 유도한 방정식을 이용하여 추정한 초기속도와 평형 가수분해율을 최대화하는 R값은 각각 10.4 와 11.4 였다.

In this paper, MMIC double balanced star mixer for 40 ㎓ was implemented on GaAs substrate with backside vias. In the design of the MMIC mixer, the design of balun and diode was required. A novel balun structure using microstrip to CPS was presented. The 40 ㎓ balun was designed based on the design experience of the scale-down balun by 2 ㎓. The balun may be suitable for fabrication in MMIC process with backside via and can easily be applied for DBM(Double Balanced Mixer). A Schottky diode was designed and implemented using p-HEMT process considering the compatability with other high frequency MMIC's fabricated on p-HEMT base process. Finally, the double balanced star mixer was fabricated using the balun and the p=HEMP Schottky diode. The measured performance of mixer shows 30 ㏈ conversion loss at 18 ㏈m LO power. This insufficient performance is caused by the unwanted diode at AlGaAs junction in vertical structure of p-HEMT. If the p-HEMT's gate is recessed to AlGaAs layer, and so the diode is eliminated, the mixer's performances will be improved.

The chemical equilibria of Ni(II)-tetraamine (tetraamine = 2,12-dimethyl-3,7,11,17-tetraazabicyclo-11,3,1-heptadeca-1(17),2,11,13,15-pentaene) complex ion in water, acetonitrile, acetone and nitromethane were investigated using spectrophotometric method, respectively. The equilibria between low-spin ($D_{4h}$) and high-spin ($O_h$) structures of Ni-tetraamine complex ion were presented in water, acetonitrile and acetone, but not in nitromethane. The eqilibrium constants, the reaction enthalpies and the reaction entropies were determined from analysis of the temperature dependence of the electronic spectra. The formation of the triplet species ($O_h$) was found to be exothermic. The solvent and electrolyte effects on the equilibrium constants could be explained by the dielectric constants of solvents and the reaction entropies.

In this paper, a new rehabilitation training system was developed to improve equilibrium sense by combining virtual reality technology with a fixed exercise bicycle. The subjects consisted of two groups. A group of young people, was compared against a group of elderly. We measured three different running modes of virtual bicycle system with two successive sets. The parameters measured were running time, velocity, the weight movement, the degree of the deviation from the road, and the variables about the center of pressure. The repeated training, our results showed that the running capability of the elderly improve compared. In addition, it was found out that the ability of postural control and the equilibrium sense was improved with the presentation of the visual feedback information of the distribution of weight. From the results of this experiment, we showed that our newly developed system might be useful in the diagnosis of equilibrium sense or in the improvement of the sense of sight and, somatic, and vestibular sense of the elderly in the field of rehabilitation training.

In this paper, microstrip antenna to enhance the isolation between transmitting port and receiving port under the proximity objects is proposed, and applied to the Doppler radar sensor working at 5.8GHz ISM band which detects vital signals of a human body. Two 3dB quadrature hybrids are placed around radiation patch to form a balanced structure between transmitting port and receiving port, such that it consistently provides enhanced Tx/Rx isolation and excellent return loss over nearby objects. It is theoretically analyzed and simulated to verify the validity of the proposed application. The fabricated antenna that is 2mm away from the human body, has more than 16 dB return loss and at least 30dB isolation over ISM frequency band of 5.8GHz.
