A solar air heater was designed for supplementary domestic heating. The absorber plate had a series of protruding notches which had triangular openings on the front surface of the absorber plate to direct partial air flow to the rear surface and to enhance the convective heat transfer to the flowing air. The height of the opening as well as the opening configuration was determined by preceding numerical simulations. The experimental model had an absorber plate of 0.78-m width and 1.0-m length which was coated with black paint. The air temperature increased as much as $18^{\circ}C$ for $90-m^3/h$ flow rate when the absorber plate was inclined by $45^{\circ}$ for a clear-day solar irradiation of about $906W/m^2$. The collector efficiency ranged from 69 to 74%. Considering the simplicity of the structure and low manufacturing cost, the solar air heater might have competence as an auxiliary heating device for domestic use. On-site experimental results are presented with discussion for various solar irradiations and air flow conditions.

참돔 이리도바이러스(RSIV)는 이리도바이러스과에 속하며, 많은 아시아 국가에서 감염성 어류 질병을 유발하여 양식산업에 커다란 경제적 손실을 입히는 바이러스이다. 우리는 최근에 효모표면발현(yeast surface display, YSD)를 사용하여 다양한 해양바이러스를 동정하고 검출할 수 있는 새로운 실험시스템을 개발하였다. 이 연구에서 우리는 참돔 이리도 바이러스(RSIV)의 외피단백질을 효모표면 발현 기법을 이용하여 발현시켰다. 바이러스 외피단백질 유전자는 염기서열 데이터베이스에 기초하여 합성되었고, 효모발현벡터인 pCTCON2으로 서브클로닝되었다. 이 벡터는 효모 strain EBY100으로 형질전환 되었다. Flow cytometry와 Western blot analysis를 통해 RSIV 외피단백질의 발현을 확인하였다. ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol 처리에 의해 발현된 바이러스 외피단백질을 효모 표면로부터 분리하였다. 이 연구의 결과는 YSD 시스템이 해양바이러스 외피단백질을 획득하기 위한 매우 좋은 발현시스템이라는 것을 보여준다.

A regenerative evaporative cooler has been fabricated and tested for the evaluation of cooling performance. The regenerative evaporative cooler is a kind of indirect evaporative cooler comprised of multiple pairs of dry and wet channels. The air flowing through the dry channels is cooled without any change in the humidity and at the outlet of the dry channel a part of air is redirected to the wet channel where the evaporative cooling takes place. The regenerative evaporative cooler fabricated in this study consists of the multiple pairs of finned channels in counterflow arrangement. The fins and heat transfer plates were made of aluminum and brazed for good thermal connection. Thin porous layer coating was applied to the internal surface of the wet channel to improve surface wettability. The regenerative evaporative cooler was placed in a climate chamber and tested at various operation condition. The cooling performance is found greatly influenced by the evaporation water flow rate. To improve the cooling performance, the evaporation water flow rate needs to be minimized as far as the even distribution of the evaporation water is secured. At the inlet condition of $32^{\circ}C$ and 50%RH, the outlet temperature was measured at $22^{\circ}C$ which is well below the inlet wet-bulb temperature of $23.7^{\circ}C$.

A good fluidity of high strength Al-alloys is required to cast thin wall castings needed to reduce the weight of cast parts. The fluidity, measured as the length to which the metal flows in a standard channel, is affected by many factors, such as the pouring temperature, solidification type of the alloy, the channel thickness, melt head, mold materials and temperature, coating etc. Therefore the experimentally measured fluidity scatters very much and makes it difficult to estimate the fluidity of a melt with a few measurements. The effect of Ti content and grain refinement on the fluidity of high strength aluminum alloy was investigated with a test casting with 8 thin flow channels to reduce the scattering of the fluidity results. The fluidity of Al-4.8%Cu-0.6%Mn Al-6.2%Zn-1.6%Mg-1.0%Cu and well-known commercial aluminum alloy, A356 was tested. Initial content of Ti was varied from 0 to 0.2wt% and Al-5Ti-B master alloy was added for grain refinement. The flow length varied linearly with superheat. By adding Ti and Al-5Ti-B, the fluidity increased. The grain size decreased by adding grain refiner at the same time. The fluidity depended on the degree of grain refinement. The fluidity of the alloy solidifying in mushy type is improved by grain refinement, because grain refinement increases the solid fraction at the time of flow stoppage.

This paper describes the novel immunoassay sensing system for a portable clinical diagnosis system. It consists of a bead cage reactor and a CMOS integrated biosensor. It showed the simple and easy antibody coating method on beads by flow-through avidin biotin complex technology in a microfluidic device. It showed just 90 nL sample consumption and good result for the application of alpha feto protein. The bead cage reactor has the role of the antibody coating, antigen binding and enzyme linking for the electrochemical sensing method. The CMOS biosensor consists of ISFET (ion selective field effect transistor) biosensor and temperature sensor for detecting pH that is the byproduct of enzyme reaction. The sensitivity is 8 $kHz/^{\circ}C$ in a temperature sensor and 33 mV/pH in a pH sensor. After filling the 15 um polystyrene beads in bead cage, antibody flowed and reacted to beads. Subsequently, the biotinylated antigen flowed and bound to the antibody and GOD (glucose oxidase)-avidin conjugate flowed and reacted to the biotin of the biotinylated antigen. After this reaction process, glucose solution flowed and reacted to the GOD on beads. The hydrogen was generated by glucose-GOD reaction. And it was detected by the pH sensor.

Chromium nitride (CrN) samples with two different layer structures (multilayer and single layer) were coated on bipolar plates of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) using the reactive sputtering method. The effects with respect to layer structure on corrosion resistance and overall cell performance were investigated. A continuous and thin chromium nitride layer ($Cr_{0.48}\;N_{0.52}$) was formed on the surface of the SUS 316L when the nitrogen flow rate was 10 sccm. The electrochemical stability of the coated layers was examined using the potentiodynamic and potentiostatic methods in the simulated corrosive circumstances of the PEMFC under $80^{\circ}C$. Interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the CrN coated sample and the gas diffusion layer was measured by using Wang's method. A single cell performance test was also conducted. The test results showed that CrN coated SUS316L with multilayer structure had excellent corrosion resistance compared to single layer structures and single cell performance results with $25\;cm^2$ in effective area also showed the same tendency. The difference of the electrochemical properties between the single and multilayer samples was attributed to the Cr interlayer layer, which improved the corrosion resistance. Because the coating layer was damaged by pinholes, the Cr layer prevented the penetration of corrosive media into the substrate. Therefore, the CrN with a multilayer structure is an effective coating method to increase the corrosion resistance and to decrease the ICR for metallic bipolar plates in PEMFC.

Enhancing with non-metallic elemental nitrogen(N) is one of several methods that have been proposed to modify the electronic properties of bulk titanium dioxide($TiO_2$), in order to make $TiO_2$ effective under visible-light irradiation. Accordingly, current study evaluated the feasibility of applying visible-light-induced $TiO_2$ enhanced with N element to cleanse aromatic compounds, focusing on xylene isomers at indoor air quality(IAQ) levels. The N-enhanced $TiO_2$ was prepared by applying two popular processes, and they were coated by applying two well-known methods. For three o-, m-, and p-xylene, the two coating methods exhibited different photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) efficiencies. Similarly, the two N-doping processes showed different PCO efficiencies. For all three stream flow rates(SFRs), the degradation efficiencies were similar between o-xylene and m,p-xylene. The degradation efficiencies of all target compounds increased as the SFR decreased. The degradation efficiencies determined via a PCO system with N-enhanced visible-light induced $TiO_2$ was somewhat lower than that with ultraviolet(UV)-light induced unmodified $TiO_2$, which was reported by previous studies. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that PCO efficiencies increased up to 94% for o-xylene and 97% for the m,p-xylene under lower SFR(0.5 L $min^{-1}$). Consequently, it is suggested that with appropriate SFR conditions, the visible-light-assisted photocatalytic systems could also become important tools for improving IAQ.

Fundamental results obtained from an atomic force microscope (AFM) chemically-induced direct nano-lithography process are presented, which is regarded as a simple method for fabrication nm-scale devices such as superconducting flux flow transistors (SFFTs) and single electron tunneling transistors (SETs). Si cantilevers with Pt coating and with 30 nm thick TiO coating were used as conducting AFM tips in this study. We observed the surfaces of superconducting strip lines modified by AFM anodization' process. First, superconducting strip lines with scan size 2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$${\times}$2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ have been anodized by AFM technology. The surface roughness was increased with the number of AFM scanning, The roughness variation was higher in case of the AFM tip with a positive voltage than with a negative voltage in respect of the strip surface. Second, we have patterned nm-scale oxide lines on ${YBa}-2{Cu}_3{O}_{7-x}$ superconducting microstrip surfaces by AFM conductive cantilever with a negative bias voltage. The ${YBa}-2{Cu}_3{O}_{7-x}$ oxide lines could be patterned by anodization technique. This research showed that the critical characteristics of superconducting thin films were be controlled by AFM anodization process technique. The AFM technique was expected to be used as a promising anodization technique for fabrication of an SFFT with nano-channel.

Polymer exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have multifunctional properties, and bipolar plates are one of the key components in these fuel cells. Generally, a bipolar plate has a gas flow path for hydrogen and oxygen liberated at the anode and cathode, respectively. In this study, the influence of iodine applied to a bipolar plate was investigated. Accordingly, we compared bipolar plates with and without iodine coating, and the performances of these plates were evaluated under operating conditions of $75^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity. The membrane and platinum-carbon layer were affected by the iodine-coated bipolar plate. Bipolar plates coated with iodine and a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) were investigated by electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis. Polarization curves showed that the performance of a coated bipolar plate is approximately 19% higher than that of a plate without coating. Moreover, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis revealed that charge transfer resistance and membrane resistance decreased with the influence of the iodine charge transfer complex for fuel cells on the performance.
