This study was carried out for improvement and correction of the traditional pressure variation method (PVM) in the respiration rate measurements of fresh fruits and vegetables using a microcomputer system and a differential pressure sensor. Water vapor pressure in the container was calculated by equations for psychrometric calculations. At the beginning of experimental period water vapor pressure in the container was increased and maintained constantly in the most experimental period, but was decreased dramatically after $CO_2$ scrubbing. The percentages of water vapor pressure on total differential pressure were $33{\sim}46%$ at $1^{\circ}C$, $23{\sim}45%$ at $11^{circ}C$ and $35{\sim}53%$ at $21^{\circ}C$. The differences between the respiration rates determined by gas chromatography and corrected pressure variation method (CPVM) were $0.2{\sim}0.3\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $1^{\circ}C$, $0.2{\sim}2.9\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $11^{\circ}C$ and 1.0{\sim}9.0\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $21^{circ}C$, while those between gas chromatography and normal pressure variation method (PVM) were $0.8{\sim}1.2\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $1^{\circ}C$, $3.9{\sim}11.0\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $11^{\circ}C$ and $8.0{\sim}32.0\;mgCO_2kg^{-1}h^{-1}$ at $21^{circ}C$, respectively. The differences of the respiration rates with CPVM were smaller than those with PVM. CPVM, therefore, were more exact and convenient method than PVM in the measurement of respiration rate of fresh produce.

본 연구는 지하유류저장공동 굴착 시 비교적 정밀하게 해석된 단열체계 및 수리인자를 토대로 투수성구조영역과 수리암반영역으로 세분화하여 연구지역의 불규칙하고 복잡한 지하수유동체계를 해석해 보고자 하였다. FZ-2 구조대와 인접한 수리암반영역 Domain-A와 B는 Domain-C와 D에 비해 수평수벽공의 초기압이 최대 약 $15kg/cm^2$정도 높으며, 상 하부의 수리적 연결성이 양호하여 지하공동굴착 시 상 하부의 수위차가 크지 않고 지하수 함양량은 약 $35{\sim}50mm/year$의 범위를 보인다. 또한 공동굴착 시 투수성 단열과의 교차에 의한 수위강하에 민감한 반응을 보이며 상 하부의 수위강하양상이 유사한 특성을 나타낸다. 반면, FZ-1 구조대와 인접한 Domain-C와 D는 지하공동 부근의 수리전도도가 각각 $7{\times}10^{-10},\;2{\times}10^{-9}m/sec$로 Domain-A와 B에 비해 최대 약 6배정도 낮고, 상 하부의 수리적 연결성이 양호하지 않기 때문에 공동굴착 전 이중수위측정시설 설치 시 계측된 상 하부의 수위차는 최대 약 120 m로 매우 크다. 그리고 상부의 지하수는 하부의 낮은 수리전도도로 인하여 수직방향보다 수평방향으로의 유동이 우세하며 공동굴착 시 수위변화는 크지 않고 함양량은 $10{\sim}15mm/year$의 범위를 나타낸다.

Capacitance of a hybrid capacitor that has characteristics of both electrolyte capacitor and supercapacitor is determined by anode surface covered with oxide layer. In this study, optimal condition processes for anode to fabricate a high voltage hybrid capacitor was investigated. We mixed aluminum powder having mean particle size of $40{\mu}m$ with NaCl powders at weight ratio of 4 : 1 and prepared a disk type electrode after annealing at various temperature. After dissolving NaCl in $50^{\circ}C$ distilled water, heat treatment, eletropolishing, chemical treatment, and the first and the second etching of Al disk were conducted. In each process, capacitances and resistances of the disk measured by ac-impedance analyzer were compared to find its optimum treatment condition. Also, the surface morphology of treated disks were observed and compared by SEM. After the second etching, the Al disk was anodized at 365V to make an anode of hybrid supercapacitor that can be operated at 300V, Capacitance and resistance of the anodized Al disk electrode was compared with those of commercialized conventional aluminum electrolytic capacitor at different frequencies.

The effects of mechanical grinding(MG) treatment on the hydrogen storage of $Mg_2Ni$ alloy and $Mg_2Ni$ composite alloy($Mg_2Ni+graphite$) were investigated by pressure-composition-temperature(PCT) measurement, the micro-electrode technique of electrochemistry and etc, in which PCT was measured at high temperature(around $300[^{\circ}C]$) of gas phase and a carbon-filament micro-electrode for electrochemical evaluation was manipulated to make electrical contact with the particle in 1M KOH aqueous solution. It was found that the hydrogenation properties of $Mg_2Ni$ and graphite composite particle were greatly improved by the mechanical grinding treatment by which the $Mg_2Ni$ and graphite composite alloys could be changed into microstructure and nano-level particles. namely; the hydrogen dissociation pressure of PCT measurement was decreased from 0.55[MPa] to 0.42[MPa] and hydrogenation peaks by micro-electrode were also observed more clearly on the same sample.

This study investigated the inactivation and synergistic efficacy of combined low-temperature heating (LT) and atmospheric plasma (AP) against Escherichia coli in red pepper powder. A cocktail of two strains of E. coli (ATCC 11229, KCCM 11234) was inoculated onto red pepper powder and then treated with LT (60℃ for 5-20 min) and AP (atmospheric plasma for 5-20 min). The counts of E. coli in the red pepper powder were significantly (P<0.05) reduced with the increase in treatment time using LT and AP. The reduction of E. coli levels in red pepper powder when treated with LT alone for 5, 10, 15, and 20-min were 0.25, 1.45, 2.54, and 2.85 log₁₀ CFU/g, respectively. Also, the reduced levels of E. coli on red pepper powder when treated with AP alone for 5, 10, 15, and 20 min were 0.19, 0.32, 0.54, and 0.96 log₁₀ CFU/g, respectively. The synergistic effects were not dependent on the treatment time with AP, but were dependent on the LT treatment time. Synergistic reduction values for combined LT and AP treatment against E. coli in red pepper powder were -0.13 to 2.91 log₁₀ CFU/mL, respectively. Especially, the largest synergistic values (2.91-2.82 log₁₀ CFU/mL) of E. coli in red pepper powder were revealed by the combination of a 20-min treatment with LT and a 15-20-min treatment with AP. All sensory parameters (color, off-odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability) were not significantly (P>0.05) different between non-treated and all combination-treated samples. Therefore, these results suggest that the combination of LT and AP can be potentially utilized in the food industry to effectively inactivate E. coli without incurring quality deterioration in red pepper powder.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of periodontal ligament cells of rat teeth after low-temperature preservation under high pressure by means of MTT assay, WST-1 assay. 12 teeth of Sprague-Dawley white female rats of 4 week-old were used for each group. Both side of the first and second maxillary molars were extracted as atraumatically as possible under tiletamine anesthesia. The experimental groups were group 1 (Immediate extraction), group 2 (Slow freezing under pressure of 3 MPa), group 3 (Slow freezing under pressure of 2 MPa), group 4 (Slow freezing under no additional pressure), group 5 (Rapid freezing in liquid nitrogen under pressure of 2 MPa), group 6 (Rapid freezing in liquid nitrogen under no additional pressure), group 7 (low-temperature preservation at $0^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 2 MPa), group 8 (low-temperature preservation at $0^{\circ}C$ under no additional pressure), group 9 (low-temperature preservation at $-5^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 90 MPa). F-medium and 10% DMSO were used as preservation medium and cryo-protectant. For cryo-preservation groups, thawing was performed in $37^{\circ}C$ water bath, then MTT assay, WST-1 assay were processed. One way ANOVA and Tukey HSD method were performed at the 95% level of confidence. The values of optical density obtained by MTT assay and WST-1 were divided by the values of eosin staining for tissue volume standardization. In both MTT and WST-1 assay, group 7 ($0^{\circ}C$/2 MPa) showed higher viability of periodontal ligament cells than other group (2-6, 8) and this was statistically significant (p < 0.05), but showed lower viability than group 1, immediate extraction group (no statistical significance). By the results of this study, low-temperature preservation at $0^{\circ}C$ under pressure of 2 MPa suggest the possibility for long term preservation of teeth.

This study was conducted to enhance the storage stability of fermented shrimp with different salt contents using a high hydrostatic pressure. The effects of the magnitude of pressure and treatment time on the microorganisms of the fermented shrimp were investigated. The highest microbial counts with respect to the salt levels were observed at 18% salt, showing $3.4{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$ for general bacteria, $6.4{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$ for halophilic bacteria, $4.2{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$ for yeast and $3.0{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$ for halophilic yeast. The degree of sterilization increased with the magnitude of pressure and treatment time, and the sterilization could be analyzed by the first order reaction kinetics. The sterilization rate constants $(k_p)$ of the halophilic bacteria was lower than that of general bacteria. The $log(k_p)$ increased linearly with pressure and the slope of the regression line of the halophilic bacteria was greater than that of general bacteria, indicating that the sterilization of the halophilic bacteria was more dependent on the pressure. High hydrostatic pressure treatment was an effective non-thermal sterilization method for the salted and fermented shrimp, and the optimum treatment condition was for 10 min at 6,500 atm.

In this study, shape design and material selection were carried out for a two-stage pressure-reducing regulator to compensate for the shortcomings of a one-stage mechanical decompression regulator. The shape of the contact surface of the depressurization unit was considered, material was selected, and the shape was designed to compensate for the pulsation and slow response through the two-stage decompression and to solve the problem of high pressure deviation. In terms of airtightness, the deformation amount of TPU showed a small amount of displacement of up to 15.82%. Considering the fact that it is applicable to various hydrogen fuel supply systems by securing universality by applying electronic solenoids to the second pressure reduction, magnetic materials were selected. The hydrogen embrittlement and corrosion resistance were evaluated to verify the plating process. Surface corrosion did not occur in only the case of Cr plating. The elongation during the corrosion process was compared using a tensile test, and there was a difference within 2%.

반도체 공정에서의 금속 배선 공정은 매우 중요한 공정 중 하나이다. 기존에 사용되던 알루미늄이 한계에 다다르면서, 대체 재료로 사용되고있는 구리는 낮은 비저항, 높은 열전도도, 우수한 electromigration(EM)저항특성 등을 바탕으로 차세대 nano-scale집적회로의 interconnect application에 적합한 금속재료로서 각광받고 있다. Electroplating을 위한 구리 seed layer CVD 공정은 타 공정에 비해 step coverage가 우수한 막을 증착할 수 있어 고집적 소자의 구현이 가능하다. 본 연구에 이용된 2가 전구체 Cu(dmamb)2는 높은 증기압과 높은 활성화 에너지를 가짐으로서 열적안정성 및 보관안정성이 우수하며, 플루오르를 함유하지 않아 친환경적이다. 구리 증착 전 기판에 plasma 처리를 하면 표면 morphology가 변함에 따라 표면 에너지가 변화하고, 이는 구리의 2차원 성장에 유리하게 작용할 것으로 여겨진다. Plasma의 조건변화에 따른 기판의 morphology 변화 및 성막된 구리의 특성 변화를 분석하였다.
