Polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) thick films were depostied by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using CH3SiCl3 (MTS) and H2 gaseous mixture onto isotropic graphite substrate. Effects of deposition variables on the SiC film were investigated. Deposition rate had been found to be surface-reaction controlled below reactor temperature of 120$0^{\circ}C$ and mass-transport controlled over 125$0^{\circ}C$. Apparent activation energy value decreased below 120$0^{\circ}C$ and deposition rate decreased above 125$0^{\circ}C$ by depletion effect of the reactant gas in the direction of flow in a horizontal hot wall reactor. Microstructure of the as-deposited SiC films was strongly influenced by deposition temperature and position. Microstructural change occurred greater in the mass transport controlled region than surface reaction controlled region. The as-deposited SiC layers in this experiment showed stoichiometric composition and there were no polytype except for $\beta$-SiC. The preferred orientation plane of the polycrystalline SiC layers was (220) plane at a high reactant gas concentration in the mass transfer controlled region. As depletion effect of reactant concentration was increased, SiC films preferentially grow as (111) plane.

본 연구는 하천에서 가뭄으로 인해 나타나는 갈수현상을 단기간의 유량의 감소로 모사하여 수질 및 부착돌말류 군집에 미치는 생태학적 영향을 인공수로에서 분석하였다. 아크릴로 제작한 실내 인공수로에 부착돌말 인공기질로는 슬라이드글라스를 설치하고, 부영양 저수지의 표층수를 유입시켜 실험수로 이용하였다. 실험기간 중 부착돌말 군체형성기 동안 모든 실험군의 유량은 6 L $min^{-1}$, 이후 유량감소기 동안 각 실험군의 유량은 NDF(No depletion of flow rate (Control): 6 L $min^{-1}$), LDF (Low depletion of flow rate: 3 L $min^{-1}$), 그리고 HDF (High depletion of flow rate: 1 L $min^{-1}$)로 설정하였다. 유량감소의 영향을 비교하기 위하여 16일간의 실험기간 동안 유입수와 배출수의 수온, 전기전도도, 용존산소, pH, 탁도, 부유물질, 영양염 및 Chl-$a$ 농도를 분석하였으며, 또한 부착기질의 Chl-$a$와 AFDM(ash free dry matter), 그리고 부착돌말류의 조성과 세포밀도를 1일 간격으로 분석하였다. 광도는 처리 유량이 적어질수록 유의하게 증가했다(F=229.5, p=0.000). $NH_4$-N는 NDF보다 HDF에서 현저하게 높은 농도를 유지하였다. 유입수의 SS 농도(100%) 대비 배출수의 SS 농도는 HDF에서 88%로 감소하였으며 LDF (97%)와 NDF (99%)에 비하여 높은 감소율을 보였다. 기질의 Chl-$a$는 NDF에 비하여 유량감소 처리군에서 약 2배 이상 유의하게 증가하였다(F=8.399, p=0.001). 또한 기질의 AFDM과 부착돌말류 총밀도는 NDF에 비하여 두 처리군에서 유의하게 증가하였다(F=9.390, p=0.001; F=6.088, p=0.007). 실험기간 동안 대조군과 처리군 모두에서 $Aulacoseira$ $ambigua$, $Achnanthes$ $minutissima$, $Aulacoseira$ $granulata$ 등 총 3종의 부착규조류가 총 밀도의 10% 이상을 보인 우점종으로 나타났고, 제1 우점종인 $A.$ $ambigua$는 LDF에서 가장 높은 밀도를 보였으며 HDF, NDF순으로 생물량이 낮았다(F=8.551, p=0.001). 본 연구 결과, 인공 하천생태계에서 가뭄(갈수) 효과는 수질과 부착돌말류 현존량에 유의한 변화를 야기하였으며, 특히 부착돌말류 현존량이 유의하게 증가하였다. 이는 실제 하천에서 가뭄에 의한 생태계의 변화를 이해하는데 유용한 기초자료를 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

In this study we investigated the effect of hydroxybrazilin on glutathione depletion induced by BrCCl$_3$ and menadione in cultured hepatocytes to understand the cellular mechanisms of hepatoprotective effect of hydroxybrazilin. Hydroxybrazilin alone had no effect on total glutathione level and the ratio of reduced glutathione/total glutathione (GSH/(GSSG+GSH)). BrCCl$_3$ dramatically decreased total glutathione level and hydroxybrazilin significantly prevented glutathion depletion by BrCCl$_3$. The ratio of GSH/(GSSG+ GSH) was also decreased by BrCCl$_3$ and recovered by hydroxybrazilin treatment. Menadione decreased total glutathione level and the ratio of GSH/(GSSG+GSH) but hydroxybrazilin showed no significant effects on menadione-induced glutathione depletion. These data suggest that hydroxybrazilin might prevent the hepatotoxicity induced by chemicalderived radicals but not the toxicity linked with oxidative stress.

The trench termination scheme is introduced for high voltage devices. The curvature of the depletion region at field limiting ring is critical factor to determine the breakdown voltage. The smooth curvature of the depletion junction alleviate the electric field crowding effect around this region. In the trench field limiting ring, the radius of the depletion region is smaller than conventional field limiting ring, but the distance between every trench is spaced small enough to punchthrough before initiation of local breakdown. The trench field limiting ring on silicon can ne formed by RIE followed by oxidation on side wall surface of the trench, and polysilicon filling. The combined termination of this trench floating field ring and field plate have been designed and analyzed. The breakdown simulation by 2-dimensional TCAD shows that the cylindrical junction breakdown voltage for substrate doping might be 99 percent of the ideal breakdwon voltage for substrate doping concentration of $3\times10^{14}cm^{-3}$ with about $100{\mu}m$ of lateral termination width.

We designed and fabricated aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN)/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) with stable reverse blocking characteristics established by employing a selective fluoride plasma treatment on the drainside gate edge region where the electric field is concentrated. Implanted fluoride ions caused a depolarization in the AlGaN layer and introduced an extra depletion region. The overall contour of the depletion region was expanded along the drift region. The expanded depletion region distributed the field more uniformly and reduced the field intensity peak. Through this field modulation, the leakage current was reduced to 9.3 nA and the breakdown voltage ($V_{BR}$) improved from 900 V to 1,400 V.

The depletion of thin liquid films due to the combined effect of centrifugation, surface roughness, and air-shear has recently been studied. While surface roughness of a rotating solid disk can be represented by deterministic cures, it has been argued that spatial random processes provide a more realistic description. Chiefly because of surface roughness, there is an asymptotic limit of retention of a thin film flowing on the rotating disk. The aim of this article is to model the depletion of thin-film flow and analyze the interplay of centrifugation, surface tension, viscosity, air-shear, disjoining pressure, and surface roughness that affect the depletion of the film. Also, the robustness of stochastic description of surface roughness is examined.

The influence of salt concentration on the stability of sodium caseinate (CAS)-stabilized emulsions (20 wt% corn oil, 3.2 wt% CAS, 5 mM imidazole/acetate buffer, pH 7) was examined. In the absence of salt, laser diffraction measurements and optical microscopy measurements indicated there were some large oil droplets ($d>10\;{\mu}m$) in the emulsions stabilized by 0.8 to 3.2 wt% of CAS. The droplet aggregation (mostly droplet coalescence) observed in the emulsions containing ${\leq}2.8\;wt%$ CAS tended to decrease as the CAS concentration increased, however, after which concentration (at 3.2 wt% CAS) depletion flocculation occurred. The addition of $CaCl_2$ (5-20 mM) into the emulsions stabilized by 3.2 wt% CAS prevented the depletion flocculation although there was a small fraction of relatively large individual droplets in the emulsions, which was attributed to electrostatic screening effect and bridging effect of calcium ion. This study has shown that calcium ion that has been reputed to promote droplet aggregation could improve emulsion stability against droplet aggregation in CAS-stabilized emulsions.

A series of steady-state and short-term experiments on a three-phase circulating-bed biofilm reactor (CBBR) for removing toluene from gas streams were conducted to investigate the effect of macroporous-carrier size (1-mm cubes versus 4-mm cubes, which have the same total surface area) on CBBR performance. Experimental conditions were identical, except for the carrier size. The CBBR with 1-mm carriers (the 1-mm CBBR) overcame the performance limitation observed with the CBBR with 4-mm carriers (the 4-mm CBBR): oxygen depletion inside the biofilm. The 1-mm CBBR consistently had the superior removal efficiencies of toluene and COD, higher than 93% for all, and the advantage was greatest for the highest toluene loading, $0.12\;M/m^2-day$. The 1-mm carriers achieved superior performance by minimizing the negative effects of oxygen depletion, because they had 4.7 to 6.8 times thinner biofilm depths. The 1-mm carriers continued to provide protection from excess biomass detachment and inhibition from toluene. Finally, the 1-mm CBBR achieved volumetric removal capacities up to 300 times greater than demonstrated by other biofilters treating toluene and related volatile hydrocarbons.
