The thermal distributions near the growth interface of 150mm CZ crystals were measured by three thermocouples installed at the center, middle (half radius) and edge (10m from surface) of the crystals. The results show that larger growth rates produced smaller thermal gradients. This contradicts the widely used heat flux balance equation. Using this fact, it si confirmed in CZ crystals that the type of point defects created is determined by the value of the thermal gradient (G) near the interface during growth, as already reported for FZ crystals. Although depending on the growth systems the effective lengths of the thermal gradient for defect generation are varied, were defined the effective length as 10mm from the interface in this experiment. If the G is roughly smaller than 20C/cm, vacancy rich CZ crystals are produced. If G is larger than 25C/cm, the species of point defects changes dramatically from vacancies to interstitial. The experimental results which FZ and CZ crystals are detached from the melt show that growth interfaces are filled with vacancy. We propose that large G produces shrunk lattice spacing and in order to relax such lattice excess interstitial are necessary. Such interstitial recombine with vacancies which were generated at the growth interface, next occupy interstitial sites and residuals aggregate themselves to make stacking faults and dislocation loops during cooling. The shape of the growth interface is also determined by the distributions of G across the interface. That is, the small G and the large G in the center induce concave and convex interfaces to the melt, respectively.

The present buried contact (BC) solar cell research at SAIT includes the development of a processing sequence suitable for production of the single sided (SS) BC solar cells. This paper presents some results for large area ($45cm^{2}$) SSBC cells fabricated on FZ and CZ silicon substrates. Cell efficiencies in excess of 18% fabricated on FZ, p-type, 0.5 ohm-cm, and over 16% on CZ p-type, 10~20 ohm-cm, wafers have been demonstrated. Both the FZ and CZ wafers were chemically textured. These results are preliminary and the exploration of double sided (DS) sequence, which is the future BC structure would lead to over 17% and 20% efficiency cells on CZ and FZ substrates respectively. The cost of solar cells can be reduced further if the many high temperature steps can be reduced to only one. This would be very advantageous to very poor quality substrates such as the CZ grown wafers.

Naphthalene-degrading bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa CZ6 isolated from contaminated soil can adhere to crystal naphthalene and produce extracellular polymeric substance. LB, YM and MSM medium were used as culture mediums to investigate the formation of biofilm. Biofilm was developed the most in LB medium by Pseudomonas aeruginosa CZ6. In the culture, strain CZ6 growth was rarely affected by naphthalene concentration. Optimal culture condition was $30^{\circ}C$ and pH 7 at 0.10% substrate and 150 rpm shaking. The effect of culture medium on naphthalene degradation in the two soil slurry system was evaluated. The initial degradation rate of naphthalene was highest in the MSM medium of soil slurry. However, the sorbed naphthalene was rapidly degraded at the LB medium when naphthalene availability in liquid was limited. The results of this study suggest that biofilm formation and extracellular polymeric substance production increased bioavailability of soil sorbed naphthalene.

Corn zein coated carrageenan films were manufactured by immersing preformed ${\kappa}-carrageenan$ films into solution of different concentrations of corn zein (CZ) solids (10, 20, and 30% in 95% ethyl alcohol) with polyethylene glycol (20% w/w of CZ), glycerol (24% w/w of CZ). For all types of films, water vapor permeability (WVP), water solubility (WS), swelling ratio (SR), tensile strength (TS), percent elongation at break (E), heat sealing strength (HS), and Hunter color values (L, a, and b) were determined. WVP of corn zein coated ${\kappa}-carrageenan$ films decreased significantly (p<0.05) as the concentration of com zein increase. Coating with corn zein also decreased film WS and SR linearly with the concentration of corn zein. TS of corn zein coated carrageenan films decreased linearly with corn zein concentration. All the com rein coated carrageenan films showed heat sealing properties even though their sealing strength was less than half of corn zein film. Obviously corn zein coating affected color of ${\kappa}-carrageenan$ films, which was mainly caused by increase in yellowness (Hunter b-value).

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of yeast extract (YE) and salicylic acid (SA) on the expression of curcuminoid-biosynthesis genes (CzDCS and CURS1-3), and accumulation of curcumin in Curcuma zedoaria cell cultures. The results showed that, in cells treated with YE or SA, the expression levels of curcuminoid genes were 1.14- to 3.64-fold higher than the control (untreated cells), in which the YE exhibited a stronger effect in comparison with SA. Curcumin accumulation also tended to be similar to gene expression, curcumin contents in YE- or SA-treated cells were 1.61- to 2.53-fold higher than the control. The SA treatment at the fifth day of culture stimulated the curcumin accumulation and expression in all four genes compared to that at the beginning. While the YE treatments gave different results, the CzCURS1 and CzCURS3 genes were expressed strongly in cells that were treated at the beginning. However, the CzDCS and CzCURS2 genes showed the opposite expression pattern, they were activated strongly in the treatments at day five of the culture. However, the content of curcumin reached its maximum value on the fifth day of culture in all investigations.

This study was executed to evaluate the utilization and efficiency of the ceramic biocarrier as the promoter of decomposing on the organic matters for the composting using with pig manure by analyzing of the physico-chemical properties during composting. The treatments of this experiment were consisted of the control(C),microorganism(M), M with natural zeolite(M+Z), M with synthesized zeolite(M+SZ), and M with ceramic biocarrier(M+CZ). The process term of composting was conducted for 30days in the rapidly fermented machine(as pilot system). The results of the physico-chemical properties of the composts were as follows. The changes of temperature during composting was not relative with the microorganism and zeolite materials used in the composts. At all of the treatments were similar to changing of temp. from the initial stage to the final stage. But the added microorganism treatments were higher than control. And the entire pH value of treatments were appeared the same that above temperature result, also the M+CZ and M+SZ treatment among the treatment were higher. At the results of T-C, T-N and C/N ratio, in case of T-C value, the M+CZ treatment was highly more decreased than others. However at the T-N value, there were not the differences from the each treatment. And the C/N ratio was changed according to the changes of T-C and T-N value. Especially, at the M+CZ aud M+SZ treatments were remarkably reduced by about 21.4-23.3 value. In the result of G.I for evaluating of the compost humidity, the M+CZ and M+SZ treatments were close up approximately 110 value compared with the control(G.I value 100). Therefore, the examined ceramic biocarrier amended with compost-promoting-bacteria could be applied to the production of many high quality fertilizers. It is also expected that the results of this researches could be applied to the recycle of the organic wastes based on the experimental results of ceramic biocarrier and compost-promoting-bacteria application.

Cz-Si 태양전지가 빛에 노출 되거나 소수 캐리어를 주입하는 경우 시간이 경과함에 따라서 전환 효율이 점점 감소하는 문제가 발생하는데 일반적으로 광열화(Light Induced Degradation) 현상이라고 명명한다. 이러한 현상은 준안정상태로 존재하는 결함들에 의해서 발생되는 것으로 연구되고 있으며 대표적인 결함으로 Cz-Si 물질 내부에 존재하는 B-O 결합이 있다. 광열화가 발생하는 명확한 기전은 아직 연구중에 있지만, 최근의 몇몇 연구결과들이 B농도와 O농도 사이의 상호관계에 대하여 밝혀냈다. 본 연구에서는 실시간으로 LID 현상을 관측하였으며, 초기상태와 비교하여 LID 이후에 열화 되는 특성들을 살펴보았다.

The purpose of this work is to investigate a back surface field (BSF) on variety wafer resistivity for industrial crystalline silicon solar cells. As pointed out in this manuscript, doping a crucible grown Cz Si ingot with Ga offers a sure way of eliminating the light induced degradation (LID) because the LID defect is composed of B and O complex. However, the low segregation coefficient of Ga in Si causes a much wider resistivity variation along the Ga doped Cz Si ingot. Because of the resistivity variation the Cz Si wafer from different locations has different performance as know. In the light of B doped wafer, we made wider resistivity in Si ingot; we investigated the how resistivities work on the solar cells performance as a BSF quality.

The PID controller have the simple structure and show the comparatively good control performance. Crystal Grower(FF-CZ150) melt polycrystalline silicon at the temperature of about 1450$^{\circ}C$, then grow it into a single crystalline ingot. The automatic diameter control system of the Crystal Grower has a good performance with only PD control. But it contain the integrator in the plant which has a long time delay. In this paper, we show the secondary approximate model and applies time delay controller which has good performance for the plant with long time delay. It will be able to improve the response characteristic against a standard input and a load disturbance.
