본연구에서는 GTL(gas to liquids)공정의 합성가스 생산을 위해 수증기-이산화탄소 복합개질반응(Combined Steam and Carbon dioxide Reforming of Methane, CSCRM)을 수행하였다. CSCRM은 수증기와 이산화탄소의 공급비 조절을 통해 $H_2$/CO비를 2로 맞추기 용이한 장점을 지니고 있어 다른 단일 개질 반응과 달리 합성가스 생산 시 $H_2$/CO 비율을 조절하기 위한 부가적인 공정이 필요하지 않아 경제적인 공정이다. 일반적으로 사용되는 Ni개질촉매는 가격대비 우수한 성능을 보이지만 S/C비가 낮은 CSCRM의 경우 촉매표면의 탄소침적에 의한 비활성화가 야기되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산소저장능력과 산소전달능력이 우수한 $CeO_2$를 조촉매로 첨가하여 표면에 형성된 코크 제거가 용이하도록 하였다. Ni-Ce/$MgAl_2O_4$촉매는 동시함침법(co-impregnation)으로 제조하였으며, Ni의 함량을 10wt%로 고정한 상태에서 Ce의 함량을 조절하여 Ce/Ni 최적비를 찾고자 하였다. XRD, TPR, BET, $H_2$-Chemisorption과 같은 촉매의 특성분석을 통해 촉매의 비표면적, 환원특성과 Ni입자의 분산도 등을 확인하였다. Ce를 첨가함에 따라 Ce2.5wt%까지는 비표면적이 증가하다가 이후 점차 줄어드는 경향성을 보였다. 또한, $H_2$-Chemisorption 결과 역시 비표면적과 유사한 경향성을 보였는데, Ce5.0wt%까지 Ni 분산도가 증가 하다가 다시 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반응실험은 $H_2O:CO_2:CH_4:N_2$ = 0.8:0.4:1:1의 공급조건에서 수행하였으며, 질소와 수소 환원분위기로 $700^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 환원 후 $650^{\circ}C$에서 $550^{\circ}C$범위로 온도를 떨어뜨려가면서 반응을 수행하였다. Ce를 첨가함에 따라 $CH_4$ 전환율이 증가를 하다가 Ce2.5wt% 이후 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 높은 촉매 활성은 Ce 첨가로 인해 환원특성이 좋아지고 Ni분산도가 증가하여 담체와 강한 상호작용(SMSI)을 형성함으로 탄소침적 저항성 강화에 기인한 것이다.

Due to environmental pollution, hazards of the human body, and global warning, changes in the power train of automobiles are intensifying, and the market forelectronic vehicles is rising. Also, in order to meet the stricter emission regulations forautomobiles with internal combustion engines based on fossil fuel, the proportion of after-treatments for vehicles and vessels is increasing gradually. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectsfrom additive ceric oxide ($CeO_2$) loading amounts to improve the methane ($CH_4$) and nitric oxide (NOx) abatement ability of the natural gas oxidation catalysts(NGOC) reducing toxic gases emitted from compressed natural gas (CNG) buses. Three kinds of NGOC were prepared under the following conditions: fresh and $700^{\circ}C$ for 12hr thermal aging, and the reduction performance of toxic gases was evaluated. Fresh $1Pt-3Pd-1Rh-3MgO-6CeO_2/(Al+Z)$ NGOC containing 6wt% $CeO_2$ had the highest dispersivity of palladium (Pd) with high selectivity to $CH_4$ and improved harmful gas reduction performance. The NGOC with 6wt% $CeO_2$ loaded the least decreased in the dispersivity of the noble metal, and showed the highest reduction of harmful gases due to the thermal durability of $CeO_2$.

Ceria supported on various commercial $TiO_2$ catalysts were prepared by wet-impregnation method. We confirmed that the correlation between physicochemical properties of $TiO_2$ supports and SCR activities. Physicochemical properties of the various $TiO_2$ were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and pH analysis. Ce/Ti catalyst exhibited different SCR activities with respect to physicochemical properties of $TiO_2$. An excellent activity was obtained as the surface area of $TiO_2$ increased. In the case of CeOx surface density, the excellent activity in a range of $2.5{\sim}14.5CeOx/nm^2$ was achieved and the activity tended to decrease above $14.5CeOx/nm^2$. The O/Ti mole ratio of $TiO_2$ in the range of 1.32 to 1.79 showed an excellent SCR activity. It was also confirmed that the pH of the $TiO_2$ has no effects on the SCR activity. In order to achieve excellent SCR activities, ceria oxide should be supported on $TiO_2$ possessing a high specific surface area and certain O/Ti mole ratio. In addition, the catalyst with the low CeOx surface density resulted from the high dispersed ceria oxide should be prepared.

We have investigated the crystal structure and electrical properties of Pt/SBT/$CeO_2$/Si(MFIS) and Pt/SBT/Si(MFS) structures for the gate oxide of ferroelectric memory. XRD spectra and SEM showed that the SBT film of SBT/$CeO_2$/Si structure had larger grain than that of SBT/Si structure. Furthermore HRTEM showed that SBT/$CeO_2$/Si had 5 nm thick $SiO_2$layer and very smooth interface but SBT/Si had 6nm thick $SiO_2$layer and 7nm thick amorphous intermediate interface. Therefore, $CeO_2$film between SBT film and Si substrate is confirmed as a good candidate for a diffusion barrier. The remanent polarization decreased and coercive voltage increased in Pt/SBT/$CeO_2/Pt/SiO_2$/Si structure. This effect may increase memory window of MFIS structure directly related to the coercive voltage. From the capacitance-voltage characteristics, the memory of Pt/SBT(140 nm)/$CeO_2$(25 nm)/Si structure were in the range of 1~2 V at the applied voltage of 4~6 V. The memory window increased with the thickness of SBT film. These results may be due to voltage applied at SBT films. The leakage currents of Pt/SBT/$CeO_2$/Si and Pt/SBT/Si were $ 10^8A/\textrm{cm}^2$ and $ 10^6 A/\textrm{cm}^2$, respectively.

The yield of oleoresin content and functionality of fresh garlic were compared according to varying extraction conditions by microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and conventional extraction (CE) methods. When different extracting conditions were applied, there was no significant difference of extraction methods in the oleoresin content. However, in the case of the CE, the optimum extraction time was two hours, while the other was about five minutes which meant that the extraction time was shortened drastically. The electron donating abilities showed a similar level which was 64% by both methods, using water. And, in the case of ethanol extraction, it resulted 63% and 51% by CE and MAE, respectively. The nitrite scavenging effect diminished while pH was increasing and especially, in the case of pH 1.2, it showed a high elimination effect of more than 90%. There was no difference of extraction methods. The tyrosinase inhibitory effect was 47% and 60% by CE and MAE, respectively in the case of the water extract. The ethanol extract showed similar or a slight lower inhibition of 45% and 39%. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme inhibitory effect showed more powerful activity in the case of MAE extract than CE extract, but there was not an increase relating to reaction time of enzyme. Also, pyruvic acid content was $44.8\;and\;36.0{\mu}moles$ per one gram of a garlic by CE and MAE, respectively when water was used, and was $28.6\;and\;32.0{\mu}moles$ by CE and MAE when ethanol was used. Again, there was no big difference between CE and MAE methods.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic liver disease associated with multiple metabolic disorders. The medicinal plant Curcuma longa L. is widely distributed in Asia and has been used to treat a spectrum diseases in clinical practice. To date, there are inadequate reports of the effects of C. longa 50% EtOH extract (CE) on NAFLD. Therefore, in this study, we evaluate the CE on an NAFLD animal and elucidate the mechanism of action. Methods and Results: C57BL/6J mice fed a methionine-choline deficient diet (MCD) were treated with CE or milk thistle, and changes in inflammation and stetosis were assessed. Experimental animals were divided into six group (n = 10); Normal, MCD, MCD + CE 50 mg/kg/day (CE 50), MCD + CE 100 mg/kg/day (CE 100), MCD + CE 150 mg/kg/day (CE 150), and the Control, MCD + Milk thistle 150 mg/kg/day (MT 150). Body weight, liver weight, liver function, and histological changes were assessed in experimental animals. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analyses were performed on samples collected after 4 weeks of treatment. We observed that CE administration improved MCD-diet-induced lipid accumulation, and triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) levels in serum. Treatment with CE also decreased hepatic lipogenesis through modulation of the sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), CCAAT-enhancer binding protein α (C/EBPα), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) expresion. In addition, the use of CE increased adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and inhibited the up-regulation of toll-like receptor (TLR)-2 and TLR-4 signaling and the production of inflammatory mediators. Conclusions: In this report, we observed that CE regulated lipid accumulation in an MCD dietinduced NAFLD model by decreasing lipogenesis. These data suggeste that CE could effectively protect mice against MCD-induced NAFLD, by inhibiting the TLR-2 and TLR-4 signaling cascades.

For the preferential oxidation of CO contained in the fuel of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel and co-precipitation methods to replace noble metal catalysts. In the catalyst preparation by the sol-gel method, Cu/Ce ratio and hydrolysis ratio were changed. The catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts was compared with the catalytic activity of the noble metal catalyst($Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$). Among the catalysts prepared with different Cu/Ce ratios, the catalyst whose Cu/Ce ratio was 4:16 showed the highest CO conversion (90%) and selectivity (60%) at $150^{\circ}C$. As the hydrolysis ratio was increased in the catalyst preparation, surface area increased, and catalytic activity also increased. The highest CO conversions with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst (1wt% $Pt/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$) were 82 and 81% at $150^{\circ}C$, respectively, whereas the highest CO conversion with the CuO-$CeO_2$ mixed oxide catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method was 90% at the same temperature. This indicates that the catalyst prepared by the sol-gel method shows higher catalytic activity than the catalysts prepared by the co-precipitation method and the noble metal catalyst. From the CO-TPD experiment, it was found that the catalyst having CO desorption peak at a lower temperature ($140^{\circ}C$) revealed higher catalytic activity.

Understanding the migration patterns and habitats of juvenile birds during the post-fledging stage is very important for conservation and management of individuals. The Chinese Egret is an internationally protected species. During the wintering season, they inhabit South-East Asia, such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Taiwan, and breed in China, Russia, and uninhabited islands on the west coast of Korea. IIn this study, we attached a GPS telemetry tracking device to six juvenile Chinese Egrets breeding on Chilsan Archipelago in 2018 and 2019 to identify habitats by analyzing the home range during the post-fledging stage in the summer season. The individual CE1801 moved north and then returned to the Yeonggwang Baeksu tidal flat area, and CE1802 and CE1803 migrated north and inhabited Taean-gun. In 2019, CE1901 showed a similar pattern to CE1801, and CE1902 migrated southward to the Wando-gun area, while CE1903 moved south to the Sinan-gun area then returned to the Yeonggwang Baeksu tidal flat area, showing KDE 50%. The study results confirmed that the Chinese Egret moved broadly around the flat tidal area on the west coast to find a stable habitat during the post-fledging stage. Efforts to protect the habitat, such as limiting the development of this area and restricting human access, are necessary.
