A variable optical attenuator with a bending-sensitive fiber (BSF) that can be used in optical networks is developed. The refractive index profile of the BSF is divided into four regions which are inner core, center dip of inner core, outer core and clad. The 3-dimensional finite difference beam propagation method (3D FD-BPM) is utilized to find the characteristics of the BSF, so the mode profile of the BSF and optical power attenuation according to the bending are investigated, and the equivalent model of the BSF is made. By using this equivalent model of the BSF, the BSF is fabricated, and the refractive index profile of the BSF is measured, which is similar to refractive index profile of the proposed BSF. The fabricated variable optical fiber attenuator (VOFA) consists of the BSF in a rectangular rubber ring with a fixed bend radius (BR) in a steady state. The VOFA using the proposed BSF was able to attenuate the optical power by more than about －38 ㏈ at certain wavelengths (1540∼1560 nm) based on adjusting the mechanical pressure applied to the upper surface of the rectangular rubber ring with the bent BSF. In addition, the proposed VOFA produced an insertion loss of 0.68 ㏈, polarization dependent loss (PDL) of about 0.5 ㏈, and return loss of less than －60 ㏈.

The chemical, physical, and emulsifying properties of BSF-1, which is an extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant produced by Klebsiella oxytoca strain BSF-1, were studied. BSF-1 was found to be composed mainly of carbohydrate and fatty acids. The average molecular weight was $1,700{\sim}2,000 kDa$. The polysaccharide fraction contained L-rhamnose, D-galactose, D-glucose, and D-glucuronic acid at a molar ratio of 3:1: 1:1. The fatty acid content was 1.1 % (w/w) and consisted mainly of palmitic acid (C16:0), 3-hydroxylauric acid (3-OH-C12:0), and lauric acid (C12:0). In terms of thermal properties, BSF-1 was revealed to have inter- and intra-molecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrodynamic volume (intrinsic viscosity) of BSF-1 was 22.8dL/g. BSF-1 could be maintained as a stable emulsion for 48 h through a low-level reduction in surface tension. The optimal emulsification temperature was $30^{\circ}C$. Emulsification by BSF-1 was efficient at both acidic and neutral pH values.

최근 태양전지의 후면에서 통상적으로 사용되는 Al을 이용한 후면의 BSF형성과 그에 관한 연구보다 계면의 recombination을 줄이기 위하여 passivation 특성이 좋은 층을 후면에 형성하고 국부적으로 BSF를 형성하는 back contact을 형성하여 특성을 향상시키는 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 local back contact을 boron-BSF를 이용하여 형성하고 passivation layer는 oxide를 이용한 구조를 SILVACO 2-dimension simulation을 이용하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. Boron-local back contact 구조에서 boron-BSF의 doping concentration, depth, lateral width, boron-BSF spacing 가변을 통해 태양전지의 특성변화에 대해서 spectrum response를 통한 QE 분석 및 I-V를 분석하여 최적화하였다.

본 연구는 국내 서식하는 아메리카동애등애(BSF)의 생태특성 구명 및 가축분뇨를 이용한 BSF의 실내 인공사육을 통하여 가축분뇨나 음식물쓰레기 처리 시 대량으로 요구되는 유충생산을 위하여 실내 인공증식기술 개발하고 BSF의 가축분뇨 분해 능력을 검정하였다. BSF는 축사를 중심으로 하는 즉 유기성 폐기물이 야적되어 있는 장소의 생태계 내에서 서식한다는 것을 확인하였으며, 축사, 퇴비사, 생활쓰레기장, 음식물쓰레기장 주변이 주 서식지임을 확인하였다. 가축분뇨 분해 우수 종은 BSF(Hermetia illucens), 동에등에(Ptecticus tenebrifer) 등 2종으로 확인되었다. 가축분뇨에 따른 BSF의 분해능은 BSF 유충 마리당 돈분 0.5 g, 우분 0.43 g, 계분 0.3 g순으로 돈분이 가장 우수하였다. 가축분뇨별 BSF 유충의 분해에 따른 무게는 우분 83.62, 돈분 77, 계분 80%로 우분이 분해 후 무게 감소가 가장 컸다. 가축분뇨 분해에 따른 BSF 유충 및 번데기 형질은 돈분이나 돈분 +왕겨를 혼합하여 처리했을 때 유충이나 번데기의 길이, 무게 폭이 다른 처리구에 비해 좋았다. BSF 실내 대량증식에 있어서 용화율 및 우화율에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나 교미 산란에 있어서 중요한 요소인 광조건 변화에 의한 계절적 교미율의 차이를 보였다. 계절에 따른 BSF의 교미율을 보면 5월에서 7월까지 교미가 활발하게 이루어 졌으며, 시간대는 오전 10시부터 12시까지 가장 활발하게 교미를 하였다. 인공채란을 위한 산란배지는 음식물과 송아지 사료가 가장 우수하였고, 산란실($W{\times}D{\times}H=4{\times}2{\times}2m$) 내 적정 배지투입 수는 8개, 성충은 2000두 투입구가 가장 산란효율이 높았다. 산란유도재료로 플라워폼과 목재에 구멍을 뚫어 산란을 유도하였으며, 산란장소의 구멍크기는 3~5 mm, 깊이 7~10 mm의 크기를 가장 선호하였다. 유충은 2~4두/$cm^2$의 밀도로 사육하는 것이 과밀도(6~10두/$cm^2$) 보다 실용형질이 우수하였다. 번데기 적정보호조건은 매질(톱밥)을 사용하여 은신처를 제공해야하며, 톱밥의 습도는 20~40%가 가장 좋았다. 성충은 우화 즉시 사용해야하나, 용화 후 10에서 10일 처리한 경우 우화율 93.3%로 우화시기를 약 10일 정도 조절이 가능하였다.

This paper is a review of some experiments using black soldier fly (BSF) and its by-product to explore their nutritional value, production potential in Indonesia and its application in the ration of ruminants. Evaluation on the effect of milk replacer, creep feed containing BSF, BSF frass and the possibility to use lactic acid bacteria from BSF as probiotics are presented. Utilization of BSF larvae in milk replacer as skim and cream milk substitute showed that there were similarity on physiological, hematological status and performance of goat kids compared to those offered goat milk or commercial milk replacer. In addition, BSF larvae can be used to substitute soybean meal in the creep feed for post weaning goat kids without any differences in weight gain and blood profiles. However, utilization of BSF frass in the fattening goat ration resulted lower digestibility of dry matter and organic matter due to the chitin content in the frass. Black soldier fly larvae grown on chicken manure harbour lactic acid bacteria (LAB) which have potential as probiotics for ruminants. In general, BSF larvae has potential as ingredient for milk replacer, creep feed, fattening ration, and source of LAB for probiotics.

This study was performed to understand the changes in wood extractives, mainly acetone extracts, in pine woods (Pinus densiflora and Pinus rigida) treated by three blue stain fungi (BSF) such as native BSF in Korea, Leptographium sp., screened Albino strain(BSFcs-1) and commercial Cartapip and fungicide, Wood guard. In addition their pulping and bleaching properties were investigated. BSF treatment has significantly reduced acetone extracts, $25.1{\sim}30.4%$ decreasing in red pine and $22.9{\sim}28.1%$ in pitch pine. Three week aging treatment showed about 20% decreasing in red pine and 19.3% in pitch pine. There were not so significant differences in extracts reduction among native BSF and Albino-type strains (Albino strain, BSFcs-1, and commercial Cartapip). But fungicide, Wood guard, treated wood showed relatively lower decreasing rates of extractives, 14% in red pine and 10.1% in pitch pine. Therefore it is understandable that the fungicide could protect the wood from blue stain fungi attack, but has no effect on its extractive reduction. Concerned to pulping properties of BSF and fungicide treated woods, red pine and pitch pine, optimum pulping condition was 20% active alkali, wood to liquor ratio 1 to 6, $170^{\circ}C$, and 2.5 hr. In the case of BSF woods, optimum pulping condition was same as the sound wood, $43.5{\sim}45%$ of pulp yields and $1.3{\sim}1.45%$ of rejects. Screened pulp yield of fungicide treated wood was lower than those of BSF treated woods. Rejects in pulps were higher in fungicide-treated wood than BSF treated woods. Bleaching pulp yields were ranged of 92 to 93.5%. BSF, Cartapip and fungicide treated woods resulted in lower brightness of $55{\sim}58%$, but Albino-type strain(BSFcs-1) $61.3{\sim}62.3%$, very similar to untreated one. Therefore bleaching chemicals could be saved in the processing of chemical pulping.

가변 광 감쇄기에 사용한 굽힘에 민감한 특수 광섬유 (BSF: bending-sensitive fiber)를 이용하여 굽힘에 따라 물리적인 변화를 감지해 내는 광섬유 센서(FOS: fiber-optic sensor)를 제작하였다. BSF를 이용한 FOS의 제작 가능성을 알아보기 위해 BSF의 굽힘 손실을 3차원 유한차분 빔 전파기법을 이용하여 전산모의 하였고 전산모의 결과를 실제 제작된 BSF를 이용한 FOS의 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 특히 제작된 FOS는 센서 상층부에 가해진 압력이 0 MPa에서 0.005 MPa 로 변할 때 광 에너지는 -1 dB에서 -20 dB 까지 감쇄하였다. 반면에 단일모드 광섬유(SMF: single mode fiber)를 이용하여 동일한 구조로 제작된 FOS는 광 에너지의 변화를 보이지 않았다.

This study was conducted to partially replace fish meal with black soldier fly (BSF) larvae or mealworm (MW) larvae in the diet for Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. A tuna by-product meal (27%) was used as the protein source in a control (Con) diet, which was replaced with 20%, 40%, or 60% BSF (designated as BSF20, BSF40, and BSF60, respectively), or MW (MW20, MW40, and MW60, respectively). The shrimp (average body weight, 0.09 g) were randomly stocked in 28 acrylic tanks and quadruplicate groups were fed one of the experimental diets six times daily. After 57 days of the feeding trial, growth and feed efficiency were significantly higher in shrimp that were fed the BSF40 and BSF60 diets than those in shrimp fed the Con diet. Phenoloxidase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and gene expression of crustin were significantly higher in shrimp fed BSF or MW diets than those in shrimp fed the Con diet. The results indicate that BSF or MW could be used as a fish meal replacement or as a functional protein source in diets and can help improve the growth, feed utilization, innate immunity and antioxidant capacity of Pacific white shrimp.

As agricultural production increases due to population growth, agricultural by-products that are generated at all production stages increase commensurately. Black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) treatment has potential as an environmentally friendly process to combat the environmental pollution caused by agricultural by-products. This study examined the utilization of BSF larvae in the decomposition of the by-products of apples and mandarins, fruits commonly produced in South Korea. The BSF test larvae were fed apple pomace or mandarin waste, and the control larvae were fed calf feed. Larval weight and size were measured at 4-day intervals until larvae reached the pre-pupal stage. Larval development time, survival rate, and BSF fecundity rate were calculated for all three substrates. Waste reduction and bioconversion ratios were also calculated. The developmental time of larvae fed with apple pomace and mandarin waste was greater than that of the control larvae. The average weight of larvae fed with the fruit by-products was less than that of the control. There was no significant difference in the survival rate of BSF larvae or the fecundity rate of BSF between the substrates used in this study. BSF larvae decomposed 48.0% and 61.5% of apple pomace and mandarin waste, respectively. The bioconversion efficiency rates of BSF larvae fed with apple pomace and mandarin waste were 9.1% and 12.1%, respectively. These results indicated that decomposition of single fruit by-products by BSF larvae is an environmentally friendly and effective bioconversion process.
