In this study, the diffusion barrier properties of $1000 \AA$ thick molybdenum compounds (Mo, Mo-N, $MoSi_2$, Mo-Si-N) were investigated using sheet resistance measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS). Each barrier material was deposited by the dc magnetron sputtering, and annealed at 300-$800^{\circ}C$ for 30min in vacuum. Mo and $MoSi_2$ barrier were failed at low temperature due to Cu diffusion through grain bound-aries and defects of Mo thin film and the reaction of Cu with Si within $MoSi_2$ respectively. A failure temperature could be raised to $650^{\circ}C$-30min in the Mo barrier system and to $700^{\circ}C$-30min in the Mo-silicide system by replacing Mo and $MoSi_2$ with Mo-N and Mo-Si-N, respectively. The crystallization temperature in the Mo-silicide film was raised by the addition of $N_2$. It is considered that not only the N, stuffing effect but also the variation of crystallization temperature affects the reaction of Cu with Si within Mo-silicide. It was found that Mo-Si-N is more effective barrier than Mo, $MoSi_2$, or Mo-N to copper penetration preventing Cu reaction with the substrate for 30min at a temperature higher than $650^{\circ}C$.

This study was examined for characteristics of acupuncture of LU10 on the abdominal thermography of health subject. The volunteers who participating in this study had taken rest for 20 - 30 mins in room temperature $(23-25^{\circ}C)$ before the examination and informed them what to prohibit smoking, drinking and administration of drug for the previous day. The thermography of abdomen including a below part of the chest was taken using Infra-Red Imaging System (IR 2000, MEDI-CORE Co., Korea) by time interval of 15 minutes at 15 min before, just before and 15 min after, 30 min after and 45 min after acupuncture stimulation. Acupuncture was applied to both LU10 for 30 mins. The results showed that acupuncture of LU10 for 30 mins had more potencies of changes on all the ROIs of abdominal thermography than those of control group. Also, those responses were significantly clear at the A1, A3, A6, A7 and A9 areas. It was observed that the quantities of thermal changes following acupuncture of LU10 been increased significantly comparing that of control group at the all ROIs (region of interest). These effects have more potencies at the upper (A1 and A2) and below (A7, A8, A9) abdominal areas than midline ones (A4, A5, and A6). These results suggest that acupuncture of LU10 having the characteristics of controls of chill and fever (寒熱) may modulate thermal distributions and changes of abdominal areas including the below of chest.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of quiescent treatment of donor cells and activation treatment time of recipient cytoplasm on nuclear remodeling and in vitro development of somatic cell-cloned bovine embryos. Serum starved, confluent and nonquiescent cycling adult skin cells were teansferred into enucleated oocytes. Nuclear transfer oocytes were activated at 30 min, 1 and 2 hrs after electrofusion. Some nuclear transfer embryos(23% to 35%) extruded a polar body, which was not affected by quiescent treatment of donor cells and activiation time of recipient cytoplasm. About 68% of nuclear transfer embryos fused with a serum starved cells has a chromatin clump, but which was not different from embryos fused with confluent(51%) and nonquiescent(47%) cells. The proportion of embryos with a single chromatin clump was sightly increased when nuclear transfer embryos were activated within 30 min after fusion(69%) compared to those were activated at 1 and 2 hrs after fusion, but there was not significantly different. Development rates to the blastocyst stage were 8.6% and 15.9% when serum starved and confluent cells were transferred, which were higher than that of control group. Developmental rate to the blastocyst stage was higher in embryos were activated within 30 min after fusion (17.3%) compared to those of embryos were activated at 1 and 2 hrs after fusion (P<0.05). From the present result, it is suggested that quiescent treatment of donor cells and activation time of recipient cytoplasm can affect the in vitro development. Quiescent plasm activation within 30 min after fusion could increase the number of embryos with a normal chromation structure, which results in increased in vitro development.

In this study, the alkaline degreasing agent was developed for electroplating pretreatment process, and the efficiency and the durability was predicted. The alkaline deeping degreasing agent was prepared by blending sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$), sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$), and sodium lauric sulfate (SLS). The performance tests of the degreasing agent were evaluated in the $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 30~40 min of the degreasing time. The efficiency and durability of the prepared degreasing agent were tested by the waterdrop formation test and Hull-cell plating test. The optimum ratio of alkaline degreasing agent was NaOH (30 g/L) + SLS (6.0 g/L) + $Na_2SiO_3$ (2.0 g/L) + $Na_2CO_3$ (40 g/L). Also, the optimum degreasing conditions were $50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 35 min of the degreasing time.

An atmospheric plasma pre-treatment method was applied to polyurethane foam to improve its contact angle and adhesion. In order to investigate the optimum reaction condition of plasma treatment, type of reaction gas (nitrogen, argon, oxygen, air), rate of gas flow (30~150 mL/min), and reaction time (0~30 sec) were examined in a plate plasma reactor. Also, the effects were compared to those of a conventional vacuum plasma pre-treatment system. The result of the surface modification with respect to the treatment procedure was characterized by using SEM and ATR-FTIR. Due to a decrease of the contact angle of polyurethane foam, the greatest adhesion strength was achieved at a flow rate of 100 mL/min and at a reaction time of 10s for N2 gas. Consequently, the atmospheric plasma treatment reduced the contact angle of the polyurethane foam and also resulted in the improvement of the peel strength.

This research has a main focus on providing fundamental data for on-the-spot industrial fields by comparing and contrasting physical properties of fluffy spun-like material. The fluffy spun-like yarn is developed as fluffy yarn similar to natural spun-like yarn by treating polyester(FDY and + type shaped DTY) with ATY machine. In this experiment, using ATY machine for raw material texturing, we produced two fluffy yarns: (i) + type shaped(50d/36f, DTY) as core yarn and 100d/192f FDY as effect yarn[ATY(D)], (ii) FDY(75/36) as core yarn and 100d/192f FDY [ATY(F)] as effect yarn. After producing thous yarns, we twisted them with 500T/M, 700T/M, 1000T/M, respectively. produced yarns through this process were used as the samples for this experiment. Even though the shrinkage of fluffy yarn ATY(F) and ATY(D) becomes high as treated temperature rises and treated time lengthens, it is more affected by treated temperature then by treated time. In this experiment, produced fluffy yarn[ATY(D)] shows a little high values for temperature, but almost same values for higher temperatures. When we compare ATY(F) with ATY(D) fluffy yarn shows more natural fluffy yarn surface structure like natural cotton. The shrinkage of 700T/M twisted ATY(D) fluffy yarn show about 11% under treated temperature $180^{\circ}C$ and treated time 30min, and about 7% under $120^{\circ}C$ and 30min, respectively. But the shrinkage of 1000T/M fluffy yarn shoes about 9% and 6% under same conditions. Regarding treated time, tenacity and initial modulus of ATY(D) fluffy yarn rise high until 30min, but do not show much increase above 30min. Regarding treated temperature, tenacity and initial modulus of it rise high aboyer $140^{\circ}C$.

Wood chips of oak (Quercus mongolica) and larch (Larix leptolepis) were treated with a relatively low pressure steam(10~20 kg/$cm^2$) for 10~20 min (first-stage),and then increased pressure up to 30kg/$cm^2$ for 30 second (second-stage), and steam pressure was released intentionally to air. Main components of exploded wood were separated with 1% NaOH and hot water-methanol. In this work, the more effective low pressure explosion condition and separation method of wood main component were investigated. The results can be summarized as follows; 1. The yields of exploded wood were generally decreased with increasing steam pressure and reaction time. 2. The proper condition of steam explosion in low pressure for the separation of wood main components was 15kg/$cm^2$-10 min, in oak wood and 20kg/$cm^2$-10 min., then 30kg/$cm^2$-0.5 min, in larch wood. 3. The 23% of elude hemicellulose was obtained from the exploded oak wood which was treated with optimal condition. 4. In the case of hot water-methanol extraction, the ratio of delignification was 14~23% in the exploded larch wood and 42~55% in the exploded oak wood. 5. The methanol was more effective than 1% sodium hydroxide solution for extraction of lignin from exploded wood.

Abstract: The surfaces of poly (methylpentene)(PMP) were modified by Af and $NH_3$ plasma treatment, and their effects on permeation characteristics were investigated. The mole ratio of O/C in the surface was increased with Ar plasma treatment and consequently the surface became hydrophilic because of the possible formation of -OH, -COOH and C=O. The surface treated by $NH_3$ plasma also became hydrophilic due to the formation of amine and/or amide groups. The $CO_2$ permeability and its actual selectivity over N_2$ were 182 baller and 6.17 for the optimum condition of Ar-30W-6min, while 144 Baller and 6.13 for that of $NH_3$-30 W-8 min.

An atmospheric plasma pre-treatment method was applied to EVA foam, Leather (Action), Rubber and Unwoven to improve its contact angle and adhesion using atmospheric plate type reactor. In order to investigate the optimum reaction condition of plasma treatment, type of reaction gas (nitrogen), rate of gas flow (30~100 mL/min), and reaction time (0~30 sec) were examined in a plate plasma reactor. The result of the surface modification with respect to the treatment procedure was characterized by using SEM. Due to a decrease of the contact angle of various materials, the greatest adhesion strength was achieved at optimum condition such as flow rate of 100 mL/min, reaction time of 10 second for an atmosphere nitrogen gas. Consequently, the atmospheric plasma treatment reduced the contact angle of the EVA foam, Leather (Action) and Rubber also resulted in the improvement of the adhesion.
