A low loss optical waveguide of $P_{2}O_{5}-SiO_{2}$on Si substrate is produced by using the chemical vapour deposition method of $SiO_2$ thin films used in Si technology. Propagation loss of the waveguide layer was 1.65 dB/cm as produced and reduced down to 0.1 dB/cm after heat treatment at $1100^{\circ}C$. By using laser lithography and reactive ion etching method $P_{2}O_{5}-SiO_{2}$ waveguide was produced and subsequently annealed at $1100^{\circ}C$.As a result of this annealing the shape of the waveguide core was changed from rectangular to semi-circular form, and the propagation loss was reduced as down to 0.03 dB/cm at 0.6328$\mu$m and 0.04dB/cm at 1.53$\mu$m. We think that the mechanism of the reduction in propagation loss during the heat treatment is the following: 1) The hydrogen bonding in waveguide layer, which causes absorption loss, is dissociated and diffused out. 2) The roughness of the interface and the micro-structure of the waveguide layer is removed. 3) The irregularities in the cross-sectional shape of the waveguide which was induced during the lithographic process were disappeared by flowing of the waveguide core.

It is hard to synthesize pure $BaTiO_3$ from $BaCO_3$ and $TiO_2$ in solid reaction for the activity of BaO and secondary phase. For this reason, the wet chemical techniques have been studied. Starting material which was used in these methods were expensive and the properties of powder which was synthesized in same defined. So, some process have been studying again to improve soild reaction method. This study which was one of those was to defin the forming mechanism of $Ba_2TiO_4$ and to control some condition of $Ba_2TiO_4$. The synthesis temperature of $BaTiO_3$ in solid reaction was near $1120^{\circ}C$. The quantity and forming temperature of $Ba_2TiO_4$ could be controlled by atmosphere heat treatment. $Ba_2TiO_4$ was related to expansion in Ba-rich region of $BaTiO_3$. $BaTiO_2O_5$ and $BaTiO_3O_7$ was reason to expand in Ti-rich region. The dielectrics of $CeAIO_3$ which was synthesized and sintered in reduction atmosphere and $BaTiO_3$ system were affected by $CeO_2$ which was formed for the decomposition of $CeAIO_3$ heat treatment in air.

Impact modifier reinforced polymers are frequently used. In this study, Izod impact test has been simulated to analyze the mechanism of impact reinforcement of Nylon6 which contains impact modifier. The modeling of rubber particles added to Nylon6 as an impact modifier has been attempted. Based on the modeling, simulation of Izod impact test has been performed to observe the distribution and direction of stress at the cross-section of impact specimen. Three computer simulation models for Nylon6 were investigated. Those were without impact modifier, containing impact modifier without surface treatment, and containing impact modifier with surface treatment in the Nylon6. Simulation results showed that the stress which originated at the notch surface propergated to the inside of specimen round a impact modifier. In addition to that, impact modifier reinforced Nylon6 specimen showed low stress ditribution in the cross-section specially at notch surface. Principal stress in perpendicular direction to crack was also lowered in impact modifier reinforced Nylon6. These enhanced impact resistance reduced and crack propergations. Through this study it was realized that the computer simulation can be utilized to investigate the property enhacement of composite materials.

In this research, we investigated the cleanliness by optimizing the water content of the aqueous stripper in fluidic strip process. The stripping properties of the photoresist with optimized aqueous stripper were compared with the commercial organic stripper. The stripping performance was evaluated by electrical and optical characteristics on the surface of the transparent electrode that compare with stripped the transparent electrode surface and the rare surface before patterning by the photoresist. As a result of the photoresist stripping process of the organic stripper and the aqueous stripper optimized for water content, the aqueous stripper exhibited better electrical and optical characteristics than the organic stripper. In the case of the fluidic strip process with organic stripper, the photoresist dissolves in the stripper solution during stripping which can cause re-adsorption by contamination. Whereas that the aqueous stripper under development seems to decrease the photoresist dissolution in the stripper solution. Because the cyclodextrin contained in the stripper captures organic photoresist into hall of cyclodextrin which stripped through swelling and tearing. The photoresist residue captured by the cyclodextrin can be filtered. After the fluidic stripping process by different chemical stripping mechanism, the cleanliness of the organic stripper and aqueous stripper was compared and analyzed.

Air-borne plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum and seed-borne plant pathogenic bacterium Burkholderia glumae are cause similar disease symptoms in rice heads. Here we showed that two pathogens frequently co-isolated in rice heads and F. graminearum is resistant to toxoflavin produced by B. glumae while other fungal genera are sensitive to the toxin. We have tried to clarify the resistant mechanism of F. graminearum against toxoflavin and the ecological reason of co-existence of the two pathogens in rice. We found that F. graminearum carries resistance to toxoflavin as accumulating lipid in fungal cells. Co-cultivation of two pathogens resulted in increased conidia and enhanced chemical attraction and attachment of the bacterial cells to the fungal conidia. Bacteria physically attached to fungal conidia, which protected bacterium cells from UV light and allowed disease dispersal. Chemotaxis analysis showed that bacterial cells moved toward the fungal exudation compared to a control. Even enhanced the production of phytotoxic trichothecene by the fungal under presence of toxoflavin and disease severity on rice heads was significantly increased by co-inoculation rather than single inoculation. This study suggested that the undisclosed potentiality of air-born infection of bacteria using the fungal spores for survival and dispersal.

In order to investigate the histopathological, mechanism of Rompun-induced shock, the development of mammary carcinoma, the numerical changes and the morphological findings of the mast cells appeared in the carcinoma were microscopically observed in the rat treated with DMBA and each chemical of compound 48/80 and Rompun. Also mast cell degranulation induced by Rompun was observed with electron microscope. The results observed were summarized as follows: Tumor appeared in 100% of the animals. Tumors grew more rapidly to $10{\times}10mm$ in rats depleted of mast cells ($37.7{\pm}4.2$ days) than was observed in the control group ($42.5{\pm}4.7$ days) (p<0.005). The mean number of tumors per rat was $2.8{\pm}1.3$ in the compound 48/80- treated group in contrast to $3.4{\pm}1.3$ in the control group. No significant difference was apparent in the tumor induction time of Rompun treated group compared with the compound 48/80-treated group, but the tumor measuring at least $10{\times}10mm$ appeared more quickly in the Rompun treated group than in the control group (p<0.005). The numbers of mast cells in the control group were inclined to increase significantly according to the mammary tumor development (p<0.005). In contrast, the mast cells were fewer significantly in the compound 48/80-treated group and Rompun-treated group than in the control group (p<0.005). The numbers of mast cells in the compound 48/80-treated group and Rompun-treated group were inclined to reduce significantly according to the stages of the mammary carcinoma growth in contrast to the control group respectively. The ultrastructural morphologies of mast cells at 30 minutes after Rompun injection were appeared many normal granules in the cytoplasm, but many normal and degranulated granules were scattered along the cell membrane. And at 1 hour after Rompun injection mast cell granules were disappeared nearly or rarely seen. many long cytoplasmic projections were folded back to adhere to their own surface membrane. and mast cells resulted in a reduced size of these cells. Otherwise. compound 48/80 caused extensive degranulation of mast cells by disrupting cell membrane. but mast cell degranulation by Rompun was observed exocytosis of granules through a channel. From the above results. it is concluded that the Rompun may give rise to the dealth of animals as a shock caused by mast cell degranulation.

The influencing factor in drying characteristics of fluidized bed drying with different drying conditions for husked barley were carried out. This fluidized drying mechanism of husked barley was consisted of consecutive two falling rate parts, first falling rate period and second falling rate period without showing constant rate period. The drying rate constant was increased with decreasing charged amount and relative humidity and increasing air temperature and air velocity. Since the drying rate constant expressed by Arrhenius type equation in the falling rate period showed good linearity, the falling rate period was condsidered as the controlling step. The activation energy of first falling step was 1,100 cal/gmol, while for second falling step the values showed 1,600 cal/gmol.

This study was initiated to evaluate efficiencies of suspenced-growth processes(CAS; Conventional Activated Sludge, MLE; Modified Ludzack-Ettinger) and hybrid process(Modified-Dephanox) on removal of organic matter(C), nitrogen(N) and phosphorus(P) in municipal wastewater. M-Dephanox process was designed to improve the performance of Dephanox process on denitrification efficiency. As the results, removal efficiencies of total chemical oxygen demand(TCOD), total nitrogen(T-N) and total phosphorus(T-P) in M-Dephanox process, which is hybrid process, were 12,3, 18.6 and 28.2% higher than those in MLE, which is suspended-growth process. The better removal efficiencies of TCOD, T-N and T-P in M-Dephanox than those in MLE result that M-Dephanox is not only hybrid or multi-sludge process but also process using biosorption mechanism which is possible to use organics in denitrification, effectively. Ammonia removal efficiency in nitrification reactor of M-Dephanox was 96.7% at short hydraulic retention time(HRT) of 2 hr which was 3 hr more short HRT than that(HRT 5 hr) reported in other related papers. This indicates that M-Dephanox process can reduce HRT of whole process.

최근 정보·전자산업의 발전으로 고 신뢰성 전자재료에 대한 수요가 증대되고 있으며 이러한 첨단산업의 기반의 될 신소재 중 전자세라믹스가 차지하는 비중이 그 대부분을 차지하고 있으며 이에 대한 수요와 기대가 점점 커지고 있다. 이러한 전자세라믹스는 유전재료, 자성재료, 압전재료, 도전성 재료 등으로 나뉘게 된다. 어떠한 분류에 들어가든 그 조성은 금속의 산화물 형태가 일반적이며 미세한 분말의 성형체를 소결(sintering) 함으로써 최종제품으로 완성된다. 이러한 전잣라믹스가 최근 요구되는 고 신뢰성, 고 밀도화를 달성하기 위해선 원료 분말 제조단계부터 제어가 필요하다. 원료분말의 균일·균질성과 그 입도는 소결특성 뿐만아니라 전기적 특성에도 큰 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 세라믹스의 분말제조 방법 중 일반적으로 사용되는 방법으로는 고상 산화물을 혼합하여 하소(calcination)한 후 분쇄하는 '고상합성법'과 금속의 염 또는 alkoxide 용액을 이용하여 화학적으로 제조하는 '습식 화학적 합성법'이 있다. 고상합성법은 합성온도가 높고 기계적 분쇄와 혼합에 의존하므로 균일·균질성이 떨어지고 분말크기를 1㎛ 이하로 만들기 힘들다. 반면에 습식화학적 합성법은 기계적인 분쇄와 혼합에선 얻을 수 없는 원자 혹은 분자단위의 균일한 혼합과 submicron 이하의 미세한 분말을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 습식 화학적 합성으로 얻은 분말을 사용하면 미세한 입자의 특성으로 인해 소결온도를 낮출 수 있으며 균일한 미세구조와 균질한 조성을 갖게되어 기계적·전기적 물성증진도 가져올 수 있게 된다. 습식 화학적 분말합성법은 전술하였듯이 alkoxide의 가수분해를 이용하는 sol-gel 법과 금속의 염(salt) 용액을 이용하여, 화학적으로 화합물 침전을 얻거나 또는 공침전물(coprecipitate) 형태의 분말을 얻는, 침전법으로 나뉠 수 있다. 침전법의 근본원리는 pH 및 pCO3 등에 따른 이온종의 용해도 차이를 이용하는 것으로써 각 이온종에 따른 solubility product(ksp)를 이용하여 설명된다. 본 연구에서는 침전법을 사용한 Ba-, Pb-계 전자세라믹스의 분말합성에 대한 이론적 고찰과 공정개발 및 실험을 통한 물성증진 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 본 실험상의 전자세라믹스 조성은 강유전체, 세라믹반도체, 압효과에 대해 알아보았다. 본 실험상의 전자세라믹스 조성은 강유전체, 세라믹 반도체, 압전재료로 널리 사용되는 BaTiO3, PZT(PbZrO3-PbTiO3)와 수직 자기기록매체로 큰 가능성이 있으며 hard ferrite로 널리쓰이는 Ba-feerite(BaFe12O19)로써 수산화물 형태의 침전에 대한 기구(mechanism)와 물성에 대해 살펴보았다. 이러한 침전법에 의한 분말합성 과정에는 소결체의 물성에 영향을 미치는 pH 조절제나 원료에서 혼입될 수 있는 Na+, K+, Cl-, SO4- 등의 제거(washing 혹은 filtering)가 필수적이다. 그러나 침전법에서 얻게 되는 분말은 매우 미세하여 colloid를 형성하게 되며, 이러한 colloid 상태의 미세한 침전입자가 filtering media에 끼이게 되어 견고하면서도 상당한 부피를 가지는 filter cake을 형성하기 때문에 filtering에 많은 시간과 다량의 filtering agent (본 실험의 경우엔 증류수)가 필요하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 colloid 상태의 침전물을 얼렸다 녹이는 freezing process를 개발, 적용하여 그 원리 및 효과, 그로인한 분말형태를 관찰하여 보았다.

Pneumconiosis is a sort of pulmonary fibrosis consequent to the inhalation of the respirable dusts. Thus, the pathogenesis of silicosis have concentrated largely on the early response of alveolar macrophage and the later fibroblastic stimulation. But the role of the other cells and continuing cell injury in the pathogenesis has not been fully studied. And the chemical factors such as prostaglandin, fibroblast stimulating factor and inhibiting factor and chemotaxin are also participated in the mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis in silicosis. In order to clarify the role of alveolar cells and prostaglandin, we investigated the changes of the cellularities in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and tissue pathology in the experimental silicosis with the time sequence. The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups; control group received only intratracheal injection of 0.5 ml saline, silica group received the intratracheal instillation of 40 mg silica with the same amount saline, and aspirin group received 450 mg/kg of aspirin after silica instillation. The results were as follows: 1) The total cells of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in the silica group markedly increased in comparison with the control group, but there was no significant difference between the silica and aspirin groups. 2) The percentages of alveolar macrophages to the total number of cells in the silica group tended to be lower than those in the control group and also lower than those in the aspirin group at the 1st week after silica instillation. 3) The percentages of neutrophils to the total number of cells in the silica group were significantly higher than those in the control group during the entire period and also higher than those in the aspirin group at the 3rd day after silica instillation. 4) In the silica group, the percentages of lymphocytes to the total number of cells were increased 143 progressively with the time course and those were significantly higher than those in the control group from the 3rd week after silica administration. There were marked differences of lymphocyte percentages between the silica and aspirin groups at the 1st week after silica instillation. 5) The inflammatory change was observed in the rat lung at the 1st day after silica instillation. Also the silicotic nodule appeared in the silica group at the 1st week but we could not find out that nodule in the aspirin group at that time. The fibrotic changes in the rat lung tended to be increased progressively with the time course, therefore, the diffuse fibrotic pattern appeared in the whole field at the 20th week after silica instillation. 6) By the electron microscopy, there were gradual increases of phagosomes and vacuoles in the alveolar macrophage in the silica group as compared with the control group. These results suggest that the neutrophils and the lymphocytes have also participated in the pulmonary fibrosis even though the alveolar macrophage has a major role, and prostaglandin mediate the inflammation and pulmanary fibrosis in the experimental silicosis.
