We evaluated the degradation properties of various alkanolamine absorbents (MEA, AMP, DEA, and MDEA) having different chemical structures for $CO_2$ capture. The degradation of $CO_2$ absorbent in general was known to be caused by oxygen which is in flue gas and by heat source, respectively. To analyze the effect of $CO_2$ and $O_2$ on degree of degradation, we conducted a variety of experiments at $30^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ (oxidative degradation) and $130^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$ (thermal degradation), respectively. DEA showed the worst property for oxidative degradation in the presence of oxygen among the alkanolamine absorbents. In the case of thermal degradation, the degradation of absorbent was occurred for most of absorbents at $150^{\circ}C$. Among these absorbents, MEA and DEA gave the worst results. As a result, AMP which is a primary amine and having a steric hindrance showed the best result through the degradation test. But, the degradation of absorbent proceeded easily in the case of DEA which is a secondary amine and having 2 OH groups in terminal position. Consequently, we have evaluated the degree of degradation of various absorbents having different chemical structures to give the basic data for the development of alkanolamine absorbent.

To assess the adsorption and removal mechanism of dissolved inorganic nutrients in seawater by scattering yellow loess, a laboratory experiment was conducted for the change of nutrient concentration in seawater during the course of time depending on particle size and scattered concentration of the yellow loess. Twenty four hours after the addition of yellow loess in the size range of 0 $\mu$m to 500 $\mu$m in seawater, the removal rate of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) was increased with increasing amount of yellow loess. There was little difference among the removal rates depending on the size of yellow loess. On average, $26\%$ of dissolved inorganic silicate was reduced for the same period. No greate difference among the removal rate depending on both size and amount of yellow loess was found. Our results suggested that the removal mechanism of DU seemed to be associated with mostly the chemical bond with iron. More than $99\%$ of initial DU concentration was likely to be removed by this mechanism. In the case of inorganic dissolved silicate, the removal mechanism was likely to be attributed to a cation exchange between the yellow loess and seawater.

This study conducted to understand effects of CA (CaAl₂O₄) and CA₂ (CaAl₄O₇) ratio on chloride binding ability and compressive strength and pore structure of cement mortar incorporating mixture of CA and CA₂. The Portland cement based specimens were mixed with the clinkers CA and CA₂, and these calcium aluminate clinker mixture were replaced 0, 5, 10% by weight of cement. After all the test specimens were cured for 28 days under water curing, they were immersed in the distilled water and NaCl solution. As a result, 28 days compressive strength of all specimens was similar, and As the replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in the specimen increased, Friedel's salt production tended to increase. However, it was dependent on the amount of Al₂O₃ in the level of 5% replacement and CA ratio in the level of 10% replacement. Through equilibrium isotherm result, it was also indicated that as replacement ratio of calcium aluminate clinker in cement matrix increased, chloride binding capacity was improved, and chloride penetration was suppressed. In this study, the specimen replaced with 10% of the calcium aluminate clinker mixture (CA 39%, CA₂ 60%) was remarkable to control chloride attack. We figured out necessity to understand optimal CA/CA₂ ratio to effectively apply CA₂ as a sustainable building material by improving the chloride binding ability in Portland cement based system.

The enzymatic properties of the alkaline AL-protease, which had been prepared from the crude zymolyase of Arthrobzoter luteus, was investigated together with its active amino acid residue. Complete inactivaton of the proteolytic activity of AL-protease by either DFP or PMSF was simultaneously accompanied by the loss of its lytic effect on the lysis of yeast cell wall. In the reaction, AL-protease showed the pattern of inactivation to decrease very slowly, as compared to that of chymotrypsin, and that enzyme and DFP were found to react with a molar ratio of 1 : 1. The preparation of AL-protease exhibited no hydrolytic activity in any substrates of polysaccharases, playing a significant role in the lysis of yeast cell wall. The optimum pH and temperature of AL-protease was pH 10.5 and $65^{\circ}C$, respectively. It also showed stability in the pH range from 5 to 11 and at the temperature below $65^{\circ}C$. Through the identification of the amino acid residue in the active site of the $^{32}P$-diisopropylph-osphorylated(DIP) AL-protease modified specifically with $^{32}P$-labeled DFP, AL-protease was found to be a DFP-sensitive which has a mole of active serine residue involved in its proteolytic activity per mole of the enzyme.

This study was conducted to research the industrial utilizaion of the maize germs separated in the manufacture of the cornstarch. The maize germs contained crude protein (25.3%) and crude fat (19.2%), with the 512 Kcal/100g of determined food energy values. It was found to have the valuable amounts of essential minerals, such as the content of calcium and phosphorus were low (53.0, 12.3mg%), while those of potassium (495.4mg%), magnesium (95.0mg%), zinc (48.3ppm) and manganese (45.2ppm) were plentiful. It was noted that the iodine value was 44.0, saponification value 292.3, acid value 1.5 and peroxide value about 3.3. The lipid fractions obtained by silicic acid column chromatography were mainly composed of neutral lipid, whereas, the contents of glycolipid and phospholipid were scarcely. The major fatty acids in total lipids were linoleic $(60{\sim}62.5%)$, oleic $(20{\sim}22.5%)$ and palmitic $(10{\sim}13.5%)$ acids. The content of the unsaturated fatty acids was more predominant than that of the saturated fatty acids. The content of the insoluble proteinous nitrogen (32.5%) was the most abundant. whereas, the contents of soluble proteinous nitrogen (12.7%) and peptide proteinous nitrogen (3.3%) were low. The major amino acids of the maized germs were glutamic, glycine, alanine and aspartic. It has been identified by the SDS-disc electrophoresis that the protein of maized germs had $5{\sim}6$ bands. Compared with standard substances, the molecular weight of the main protein was estimated to be $14,500{\sim}24,500$.

Interfacial fracture energy(${\Gamma}$) between $Al_2O_3$ thin film deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition(ALD) and sputter deposited Cu electrode for embedded PCB applications is measured from a $90^{\circ}$ peel test. While the interfacial fracture energy of $Cu/Al_2O_3$ is very poor, Cr adhesion layer increases the interfacial fracture energy to $39.8{\pm}3.2g/mm\;for\;Ar^+$ RF plasma power density of $0.123W/cm^2$, which seems to come from the enhancement of the mechanical interlocking and Cr-O chemical bonding effects.

Optical properties of $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:Co^{+2}$ quaternary semiconductor single crystals grown by the chemical transport reaction method were investigated. The analysis of the X - ray powder diffraction measurements showed that these crystals have a wurtzite structure with lattice constants a = 4.357 $\AA$, c = 7.380 $\AA$, for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and a = 4.885 $\AA$, c = 7.374 $\AA$, for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:CO^{2+}$. The direct band gap at 298K, obtained from the optical absorption measurement, is found to be 1.21 eV for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$ and 1.02 eV for $Ag_2CdSnSe_4:CO^{2+}$. The shrinkage of the band gap due to Co-doping is observed and is about 190 meV, We observed four absorption bands of $Co^{2+}$ ions in two near infrared regions of optical absorption spectra of $Ag_2CdSnSe_4$:$Co^{+2}$. These absorption bands were assigned as due to electronic transitions between the split energy levels of $Co^{2+}$ ions in $T_d$ crystal field under spin-orbit interactions.

타이태늄은 뛰어난 생체적합성과 적절한 물리적 성질을 바탕으로 치과 및 정형외과 영역의 매식재로 널리사용되어져 왔으며, 골과 매식재 사이의 골 융합 정도를 증가시킬 목적으로 물리, 화학적인 방법을 이용한 타이태늄의 표면처리에 관한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 최근에는 부착단백질 또는 성장인자를 이용한 생체재료의 표면개질을 통하여 조직적합성 및 치유 능의 개선을 위한 시도들이 있어왔다. Fibronectin(FN)은 주요 세포외기질중의 하나로 생체 내 널리 분포하여 세포의 부착, 이동 및 증식에 관여하는 거대 당단백으로, RGD및 PHSRN 펩타이드 서열이 세포의 인테그린과 결합하여 세포의 활성을 조절하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 FN으로 처리된 타이태늄이 조골세포의 부착, 증식 및 분화에 미치는 영향과 이에 따른 석회화 정도에 미치는 영향을 관찰하여 부착분자를 이용한 타이태늄 표면개질의 효과를 규명하고자 하였다. 상업용 순수 타이태늄을 gold thiol법을 이용하여 표면처리 후, 혈장 FN(plasma FN, pFN)과 유전자재조합법을 이용하여 얻은 FN조각(FN type III 7-10, FNIII 7-10)을 피복한 시편을 실험군으로, 아무런 처리를 하지 않은것(smooth surface, SS)과 산 부식(Sandblasted and acid etched, SLA)처리된것을 대조군으로 이용하였다. 배양된 조골세포주(MC3T3-E1)를 사용하여 타이태늄 표면 처리에 따른 세포의 증식, 형태변화, 알칼리성 인산분해효소(ALPase) 생산 및 세포면역형광법을 이용한 분화정도를 시간 경과에 따라 관찰하였다. 조골세포증식의 경우 FNIII 7-10 처리군에서 pFN 처리군 및 대조군에 비해 시간경과에 따라 유의성있는 세포수의 증식이 관찰되었으며(p<0.05), ALPase 생성의 경우에도 FNIII 7-10 처리 군에서 아무 처리도 하지 않은 군에 비해 유의성 있게 높은 효소의 생성이 관찰되었다(p<0.05). 주사전자현미경을 이용한 세포의 형태관찰결과 아무 처리도 하지 않은 군에서는 마름모형태를 나타내었으며, 산 부식 처리된 군에서는 세포가 가시모양의 형태를 보인 반면 FN으로 처리된 두 군에서는 세포의 부착 및 펴짐이 매우 발달되어 있는 모습이 관찰되었다. 세포의 분화정도를 관찰하기 위하여 국소부착키나제(focal adhesion kinase, FAK), 및 actin stress fiber의 분포양상을 세포면역형광법을 이용하여 관찰한 결과 FN으로 표면처리된 두 군에서 아무런 처리도 하지않은 군 및 산 부식처리 한 군에 비해 프라크의 발현이 높게 나타났으며 잘 발달된 actin stress fiber의 소견을 나타내었다. 이 실험의 결과들은 gold thiol 법을 이용한 표면처리 후 FN부착을 통한 타이태늄의 표면개질이 조골세포의 부착, 증식 및 분화에 중요한 역할을 담당하여 석회화 정도를 촉진시키는 것을 보여주었으며, 이런 결과들은 더 짧은 FN조각을 이용한 다른 생체재료의 표면개질에 폭 넓게 응용할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

최근 LEDs가 동일 효율의 전구에 비해 에너지 절감 효과 크며 신뢰성이 뛰어나다기 때문에 기존 광원을 빠르게 대체해 나가고 있다. 특히 자외선 파장을 가지는 LEDs는 발열이 낮아 냉각장치가 필요 없으며, 수명이 길어 기존 UV lamp에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 밭고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 자외선 LEDs는 제조 단가가 높고 power가 낮아 소요량이 많은 등 아직 해결해야 할 부분이 많기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위해 여러가지 재료와 다양한 구조가 고려되고 있다. 그 중 ZnO는 II-VI족 화합물 반도체로써 UV영역의 넓은 밴드갭(3.37eV)을 가지는 투명한 재료이다. 특히 ZnO는 60meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가지며, 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과율을 가지고, 상온에서 물리적, 화학적으로 안정하기 때문에 UV sensor, UV laser, UV converter, UV LEDs 등 광소자 분야에서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. ZnO가 광소자의 발광재료로써 높은 효율을 얻기 위해서는 결정성을 높여 내부 결함을 감소시키며, 발광 면적을 높일 수 있는 구조가 요구된다. 특히 MOCVD 법으로 성장한 나노막대는 에피성장되어 높은 결정성을 기대할 수 있으며, 성장 조건을 조절함으로써 나노막대의 aspect ratio와 밀도 제어할 수 있기 때문에 표면적을 효과적으로 넓혀 높은 발광효율을 얻을 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 MOCVD 법으로 실리콘과 사파이어 기판 위에 다양한 성장 온도를 가진 나노구조를 성장 시키고 온도에 따른 형상 변화와 특성을 평가하였다. ZnO 의 성장온도가 약 $360^{\circ}C$ 일 때, 밀도가 조밀하고 기판에 수직 배열한 균일한 나노막대가 성장되었으며 우수한 결정성, 광학적 특성이 나타남을 SEM, TEM, PL, XRD를 사용하여 확인하였다.
