Fundamental research of non-isothermic analysis of reaction rate has been carried out for the heat storage system using the thermal decomposition of $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O$. It was found that the equilibrium temperature of the thermal decomposition reaction was lowered less than 373K in $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O/Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}5H_2O$ system, but the heat efficiency was unchanged. The initiation temperature of the reaction was varied from low to high temperature region with heating rate. The reaction order of the dehydration reaction by the thermal decomposition was appeared to be 0.67 by non-isothermic analysis, thereby $Na_2B_4O_7{\cdot}10H_2O$ may be used as a hemical heatstorage material.

CIMT(Constraint Induced Movement Therapy) is to improve the function and use of damaged upper limbs by not only confinement of unaffected limbs' exercise but also inducement of affected limbs' one. The purpose of the study is to verify the effect of CIMT by means of motor behaviour test and immunohistochemistry, using animal models. This study was analyzed using 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats as the experimental groups and 40 ones as the control groups. The rats were divided into two random groups : one group as an experimental group which was operated on under anesthesia and removed somatomotor regions with CIMT and the other as the control group without CIMT.Postural Reflex Test, Beam Walking Test, Limb Placement Test and Immunohistochemistry were run on the day 1, 3 , 7 and day 14 following surgery to each 10 rat. As a result, this study demonstrates that CIMT might be an effect method to verify the plasticity of central nervous system as motor behaviour test made all high scores (p<.05) and BDNF was high too in experimental groups.

The electrochemical behaviors of polycrystalline silver electrodes in 8M KOH solutions containing $Bi_2O_3$ were studied under various conditions by cyclic voltammetry, potentiostatic and galvanostatic techniques as well as the morphology of the silver oxide structures by SEM. It was found that three new compounds comprising silver, bismuth, and oxygen as well as $Bi_2O_3$, $Ag_2O$ and AgO were formed during the electrochemical oxidation of silver. In addition, the potentiostatic current transients were characterized by the appearances of the first current peaks corresponding to the formation of silver oxides, and the second current peaks corresponding to the Ag-Bi-O compounds, indicating the presence of the nucleation and 3D growth mechanism, in the potential regions of $Ag_2O$ and AgO, respectively. Microscopic examinations showed that two types of silver (I) oxide morphologies are formed in the potential region of $Ag_2O$.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of science writing for different audiences on preservice chemistry teachers' chemistry concept understanding and modeling ability in general chemistry experiment activities using Argument-based Modeling (AbM) strategy. And we also examined preservice chemistry teachers' perceptions of modeling in different audience groups. The participants of the study were 18 university students in the first grade of preservice chemistry teachers taking a general chemistry experiment course. They completed eleven topics of general chemistry experiment using argument-based modeling strategy. The understanding of chemistry concept was compared with the effect size of pre- and post-chemistry concept test scores. To find out modeling ability, we analyzed level of model by each preservice chemistry teacher. Analytical framework for the modeling ability was composed of three elements, explanation, representation, and communication. The questionnaire was conducted to check up on preservice chemistry teacher's recognition of modeling. The result of analyzing the effect of modeling for different audience on the understanding of chemistry concept and modeling ability, the preservice chemistry teachers' were found to be more effective when the level of audience was low. There was no difference in the recognition of modeling between the groups for audience. However, we could confirm that the responses of preservice chemistry teachers are changed in concrete when they have an experience in succession on modeling.

전압을 인가하였을 때 전계방향에 의해 가역적으로 색이 변화하는 현상을 전기변색(electrochromism)이라고 한다. 이러한 전기채색현상을 보이는 물질을 전기채색물질(electrochromism materials)이라고 하며, 전기채색 물질에 의한 소자를 전기채색소자(electrochromism device : ECD)라고 한다. 전기채색현상은 투과율(transmittance), 반사율(reflectance)의 가역적이며 가시적인 변화이고, 전기화학적인 산화환원 반응과 관련이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Titanate nanotube(TNT)를 제조하고 전기변색소자(ECD)에 응용하였다. SEM, XRD, UV-Vis등을 이용하여 재료학적 분석을 시행하였으며, 전기화학적 테스트로 cyclic voltammetry를 측정 하였다. 그 결과 TNT 분말은 직경 약 20~30 nm, 길이 약 500~600 nm 의 입자형상을 나타내었으며, X-선 회절시험결과 $H_2Ti_2O_5{\cdot}H_2O$의 층상구조를 나타내었다. 제조된 막은 FTO glass 위에 PEI/(TNT/TBAOH)$_{n-1}$/PDDA의 순으로 코팅되었다. 전기화학적 테스트를 위하여 2전극 시스템을 제작하였으며, 여러 종류의 액체 전해질을 제작하여 cycle voltammetry를 시행하였다. 그 결과, 각각의 전해질에서 "-"영역의 산화환원전위 피크가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 짙은 갈색으로의 채색현상을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 결과로서 TNT 박막을 이용한 ECD은 광조절 유리로서 뿐만 아니라, 여러 전기채색 디바이스에 응용될 것으로 사료된다.

Using low temperature and atmospheric pressure method, we synthesized Na, TPA-ZSM-5 with Si/Al ratio of about 100. We employed 27Al and 29Si MAS NMR spectroscopy and FT-IR to investigate the crystallization process as a function of time. The chemical shift depends on the initial composition of reactants and changes during the course of synthesis different from those reported by others earlier. However, the chemical shift of our final product showed in the range of typical ZSM-5. And the defect site was removed by the calcine. From XRD and SEM data, the formation of ZSM-5 was also confirmed.

도금 시뮬레이션의 목적은 실제 도금 상황에서의 전류밀도 및 도금두께 분포를 정확히 예측하여 최상의 품질과 최적의 공정조건을 확립하는데 있다. 제품에 부착된 도금 두께는 기하학적 배치에 의한 저항 (1차 전류밀도), 전기화학적 전하교환 반응에 의한 분극 (2차 전류밀도) 및 확산, 유동 등 도금물질의 공급에 의한 분극(3차 전류밀도)에 의해 결정이 된다. 현재까지 도금 시뮬레이션은 1차 전류밀도 예측에 대한 전자기학적 해석과 Butler-Volmer 식에 근거한 동력학적 전기화학 해석을 통해 2차 전류밀도 분포 해석만 이루어졌다. 즉, 도금 반응에 있어서 물질공급은 항상 일정하게 유지되는 것을 가정하고 해석을 하였다. 이는 3차 전류밀도 분포에 있어서 전극반응 계면에서의 유동에 의한 물질공급이 전기화학과는 다른 물리(physics) 영역이어서 이를 전기화학과 coupling 하는데 기술적으로 어렵기 때문이었다. 그러므로, 물질공급반응이 속도결정단계가 되는 고속도금이나 저농도 도금, gap, tranch, via hole, through hole 등의 도금의 경우에는 해석결과에 큰 오차를 야기하게 된다. 본 발표에서는 그동안 접근하지 못했던 전기도금 해석에 있어서 유동해석을 커플링하여 다중물리해석을 한 결과를 발표한다. 시편으로는 회전원판전극과 회전 헐셀을 이용하여 회전속도 (rpm)에 따른 전류밀도 및 도금두께 분포의 변화 거동을 예측하였다.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) 공정은 deep 서브마이크론 집적회로의 다층배선구조률 실현하기 위해 inter-metal dielectric (IMD), inter-layer dielectric layers (ILD), pre-metal dielectric (PMD) 층과 같은 절연막 외에도 W, Al, Cu와 같은 금속층을 평탄화 하는데 효과적으로 사용되고 있으며, 다양한 소자 제작 및 새로운 물질 등에도 광범위하게 응용되고 있다. 하지만 Cu damascene 구조 제작으로 인한 CMP 응용 과정에서, 기계적으로 깨지기 쉬운 65 nm의 소자 이하의 구조에서 새로운 저유전상수인 low-k 물질의 도입으로 인해 낮은 하력의 기계적 연마가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 전기화학적 기계적 연마 적용을 위해, I-V 특성 곡선을 이용하여 active, passive, transient, trans-passive 영역의 전기화학적 특성을 알아보았으며, Cu 막의 표면 형상을 알아보기 위해 scanning electron microscopy (SEM) 측정과 energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) 분석을 통해 금속 화학적 조성을 조사하였다.

Purpose: To evaluate the predictive factors for treatment response and prognostic factors affecting survival outcomes after concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) for patients with anal squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: Medical records of forty two patients with histologically confirmed analsquamous cell carcinoma, who had complete CCRT between 1993 and 2008, were reviewed retrospectively. Median age was 61.5 years (39~89 years), and median radiotherapy (RT) dose was 50.4 Gy (30.0~64.0 Gy). A total of 36 patients had equal to or less than T2 stage (85.7%). Fourteen patients (33.3%) showed regional nodal metastasis, 36 patients (85.7%) were treated with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) plus mitomycin, and the remaining patients were treated by 5-FU plus cisplatinum. Results: The median follow-up time was 62 months (2~202 months). The 5-year overall survival, loco regional relapse-free survival, disease-free survival, and colostomy-free survival rates were 86.0%, 71.7%, 71.7%, 78.2%, respectively. Regarding overall survival, the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and complete response were found to be significant prognostic factors on univariate analysis. For multivariate analysis, only the ECOG performance status was significant. No significant factor was found for locoregional relapse-free survival or disease-free survival and similarly for treatment response, no significant factor was determined on logistic regression analysis. There were 7 patients who had local or regional recurrences and one patient with distant metastasis. The only evaluable toxicity in all patients was radiation dermatitis of perianal skin (grade 3), which developed in 4 patients (9.5%) and grade 2 in 22 patients (52.4%). Conclusion: This study revealed that patients with a performance score of ECOG 0-1 survived significantly longer than those with a poorer score. Finally, there was no significant predicting factors tested for treatment response.
