The main object of this study was to prepare of w/o emulsion including glyceryl monooleate(GMO) and to evaluate its stability by using the recently developed $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$. GMO is the polar oily surfactant with the low HLB value, and it forms the gel phase of cubic structures after dissolves in aqueous media. Phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.4 was prepared as the water phase and Marcol 52(mineral oil) was used as the oil phase in this study. GMO was used as the surfactant of W/O emulsion. W/O emulsion using GMO alone as a surfactant was very unstable. But the emulsion using both GMO and poloxamer 407 was more stable. The stability of W/O emulsions was evaluated after centrifuging the emulsions. But it was difficult with naked eye because an opaque and concentrated system like W/O emulsion was very turbid. So $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$ was used to detect the destabilization phenomena in non-diluted emulsion. As a result, the W/O emulsion using the proper amounts of GMO and poloxamer 407 was more stable among them using GMO of various amounts. But it seems that the other element for the stability of W/O emulsion including GMO was required. Furthermore, the $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$ was a very efficient analyzer for evaluating the physical stability of emulsion.

A study on the dry beneficiation of sericite occurring in the Daehyun Mine of the Republic of Korea region as performed by applying selective grinding and air classification techniques. Quartz and sericite occurred in the raw ore as major components. The results of liberation using a ball mill and an impact mill showed that the contents of $R_2O$ were increased while $SiO_2$ was decreased in proportion to decreasing particle size. According to the XRD, XRF analysis and the EDS of SEM analysis, the ball mill gave a better grade product in $R_2O$ content than the impact mill when the particle size was the same. When the raw ore was ground by the impact mill with arotor speed 57.6 m/sec and then followed by 15,000rpm classification using an air classifier, the chemical composition of the over flowed product was 49.65wt% $SiO_2$, 32.15wt% $Al_2O_3$, 0.13wt% $Fe_2O_3$, 10.37wt% $K_2O$, and 0.14wt% $Na_2O$. This result indicates that the $R_2O$ contents were increased by 49.5% compared to that of the raw ore. From these results described above, it is suggested that hard mineral such as Quartz little ground by selective grinding using impact mill whereas soft mineral such as sericite easily ground to small size. As a result of that hard minerals can be easily removed from the finely ground sericite by air classification and the $R_2O$ grade of thus obtained concentrate was improved to higher than 10wt% which can be used for ceramics raw materials.

O-ring seal is usual component part in various mechanical apparatus for sealing that makes efficient performance of the equipments. The sealing performance of O-ring is affected in environments of the O-rings, like that applied pressure, working temperature, pre-compressed ratio and materials. In this paper, a pressurized, compressed elastomeric bi-polymer O-ring inserted into a rectangular groove is analyzed numerically using the MARC finite element program. The calculated FEM results showed that bi-polymer O-ring that is manufactured by NBR for an inner and FFKM for an outer ring shows a low temperature distribution among various bi-polymer O-ring models. But, the normal contact stress between the flange and upper part of the O-ring is small compared to other bi-polymer model.

We investigated the growth characteristics and interfacial properties of $HfO_2$ films deposited on Ge substrate through atomic layer deposited (ALD) by using an in-situ medium energy ion scattering analysis. The growth kinetics of $HfO_2$ grown on a $GeO_2/Ge$ substrate through ALD is similar to that grown on an $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. However, the incubation period of $HfO_2$ deposition on Ge is shorter than that on Si. The $HfO_2$ grown on the GeO/Ge substrate shows a significant diffusion of Hf atoms into the substrate interface and GeO volatilization after annealing at $700^{\circ}C$. The presence of low-quality Ge oxide or suboxide may degrade the electrical performance of device.

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) based on spray-pyrolysis deposition technique has attracted large attention due to simple and low-cost processibility while preserving their intrinsic optical and electrical characteristics. However, their high process temperature limits practical applications. Here, we demonstrated the nc-ZnO/ZnO field-effect transistors (FETs) via spray-pyrolysis as incorporating ZnO nanocrystalline nanoparticles into typical ZnO precursor. The nc-ZnO/ZnO FETs exhibit good quality of electrical properties. Our experiments reveal that nc-ZnO in active layer enhance electrical characteristics.

In order to study on the surface modification of the poly(ethylene Terephthalate)(PET) fabrics, low temperature plasma$(O_2)$ has been irradiated on the PET fabrics in various conditions. Experiments were carried out at pressure ranging from 0.5 tort to 3 tort. The properties of PET fabrics treated with low temperature plasma($(O_2)$, such as bathochromic, wettability, antistatic property were measured. Etching ratio was increased as the pressure and the output of discharge increased. When its were put on the cathode, the most efficient effect of etching according to the position of sample between anode and cathode was obtained. The bathochromic effect has more or less improved as pressure was getting higth in case of dyed fabrics treated with only low temperature plasma$(O_2)$ . And when it was treated with the low refractive index resin, the bathochromic of dyed fabrics treated with low temperature plasma$(O_2)$ was better than that of the dyed fabrics untreated.

Ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient $({\gamma})$. of the patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been measured by ${\gamma}$ - FIB(focused ion beam) system. The patterned MgO thin film with geometrical structures has been formed by the mask (mesh of ${\sim}$ $10{\mu}m^{2})$ under electron beam evaporation method. It is found that the higher ${\gamma}$. has been achieved by the patterned MgO thin film than the normal ones without patterning.

Transparent top-gate Al-Zn-Sn-O (AZTO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with an $Al_2O_3$ protective layer (PL) on an active layer were studied, and a transparent 2.5-inch QCIF+AMOLED (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) display panel was fabricated using an AZTO TFT backplane. The AZTO active layers were deposited via RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature, and the PL was deposited via two different atomic-layer deposition (ALD) processes. The mobility and subthreshold slope were superior in the TFTs annealed in vacuum and with oxygen plasma PLs compared to the TFTs annealed in $O_2$ and with water vapor PLs, but the bias stability of the TFTs annealed in $O_2$ and with water vapor PLs was excellent.

Nitrogen and aluminum codoped ZnO(NAZO) thin films were grown on glass substrates with changing the nitrogen flow ratio by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of the NAZO films were investigated. The surface morphologies and the structural properties of the thin films were analyzed by using the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The NAZO thin film, deposited at nitrogen flow ratio of 0%, showed a strongly c-axis preferred orientation and the lowest resistivity of $3.2{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$. The intensity of ZnO(002) diffraction peak was decreased gradually with increasing the nitrogen flow ratio. The optical properties of the films were measured by UV-VIS spectrophotometer and the optical transmittances for all the samples were found to be an average 90% in the visible range. Based on the transmittance value, the optical bandgap energy for the NAZO thin film deposited at nitrogen flow ratio of 0% was determined to be 3.46 eV. As for the electrical properties, the carrier concentration and the hall mobility were decreased, but the electrical resistivity was increased as the nitrogen flow ratio was increased.

Purpose: To evaulate the effects of chlorhexidine and $H_2O_2$ on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1, TIMP-2), Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL expressions in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLF). Materials and Methods: $1.2{\times}10^{-1}%$, $1.2{\times}10^{-2}%$ and $1.2{\times}10^{-3}%$ CHX and $3{\times}10^{-3}%$, $3{\times}10^{-4}%$ and $3{\times}10^{-5}%$ $H_2O_2$ and mixture of CHX and $H_2O_2$ were applied to hPDLF for 1 min and 30 min. The mRNA expressions of MMP-1, TIMP-1 and 2, Type 1 collagen, fibronectin and UNCL in hPDLF were analysed by RT-PCR. Results: The result were as follows: 1. The expression of UNCL mRNA was higher than that of other mRNAs. 2. $1.2{\times}10^{-3}%$ CHX increased mRNA expressions of hPDLF as application time increased. 3. $H_2O_2$ lower than $3{\times}10^{-3}%$ increased expression of UNCL mRNA, and did not decrease mRNA expression of hPDLF. 4. hPDLF treatment with $1.2{\times}10^{-1}%$ CHX (with or without $H_2O_2$) resulted in no gene expression. 5. hPDLF treatment with $1.2{\times}10^{-2}%$ CHX (with or without $H_2O_2$) for 30 minutes resulted in no gene expression. Conclusion: Because low concentration of CHX and $H_2O_2$ increased UNCL mRNA expression of hPDLF, low concentraction of CHX and $H_2O_2$ may have an antioxidative effect.
