ZnO-based ceramic varistors containing NiO range 0.5 mol% to 4.0 mol% were fabricated by standard ceramic techniques. The influence of NiO on the microstructure and electrical behavior of ZnO varistor was investigated. As the content of NiO additive increases, average grain size decreased from 16.5.mu.m to 13.2.mu.m, and the amount of NiO existing in the grain interior and grain boundary region was approximately equal. NiO acted as an acceptor which decreases donor concentration due to the increase of Zn vacancy in the grain, and as a driver which migrates Zn interstitial in the depletion region toward the interface of grain boundary, which resulted in the decrease of interface state density. As a result, increasing the content of NiO additive, barrier height, nonlinear exponent, and varistor voltage decreased, and leakage current increased. Wholly, the physical and electrical properties of the ZnO varistor can be said to be affected by the NiO additive.

We explore the role of various environments in triggering star formation (SF) and narrow-line active galactic nucleus (AGN) in SDSS spiral galaxies and the SF-AGN connection, using a volume-limited sample with $M_r$ < -19.5 and 0.02 < z < 0.055 selected from the SDSS Release 7. To avoid the dependency of AGN activity on bulge mass, the central velocity dispersion of the sample galaxies is limited to have a narrow range of $130{\leq}{\sigma}{\leq}200km\;s^{-1}$. We note that in gas sufficient galaxies, AGN feeding lags behind starburst, whereas as the gas exhausts, the SF slows down and AGN seems to even prevent the SF, and thus divide the high-${\sigma}$ sample into two subsamples according to their cold gas content at central region traced by fiber star formation rate, $SFR_{fib}$. We find that a high density (cluster) environment causes a significant increase in AGN activity as well as gas depletion in host galaxies. However, the finding is only noticeable in the high-${\sigma}$ and low $SFR_{fib}$ sample. It seems that a galaxy interaction with the nearest neighbor directly affects the SF of the central region. However, it is unclear whether it directly affects AGN activity.

This paper investigated the effects of ionic strength in the medium on a preconcentrator for a protein sample with low concentration. The preconcentration chip was designed and fabricated using a polydimethylsiloxane replica through standard lithophotography. A glass substrate is silanized prior to functionalizing the nanoparticles for self-assembly at a designed region. Due to the overlap of electrical double layers in a nanofluidic channel, a concentration polarization effect can be achieved using an electric field. A nonlinear electrokinetic flow is induced, resulting in the fast accumulation of proteins in front of the induced ionic depletion zone, so called exclusion-enrichment effect. Thus, the protein sample can be driven by electroosmotic flow and accumulated at a specific location. The chip is used to collect fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled bovine serum albumin (FITC-BSA) diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) buffer solution. Different concentrations of the buffer media were studied herein. Fluorescence intensity images show that the buffer concentration of 4 mM is more appropriate than all the other ones. The sample of FITC-BSA with an initial concentration of $10{\mu}M$ in the 4 mM PBS solution increases its concentration at the desired region by up to 50 times within 30 min, demonstrating the results in this investigation.

본 논문에서는 단 채널 GaAs MESFET의 포화영역에서의 I-V 특성을 도출하기 위한 해석적 모델을 제안하였다. 기존의 단 채널 GaAs MESFET에 대한 해석이 채널 pinch-off의 개념이 도입되는 모델이었던 반면, 본 논문에서는 저자의 소도 포화 영역이 유한한 채널 폭을 갖으면서 전류 연속 조건을 만족하도록 공핍영역의 2차원 전위 분포 식을 도출하였다. 또한 소도 포화영역의 길이를 채널 전체 길이, 채널 도핑 농도, 게이트 전압 및 드레인 전압의 함수로 도출하여 포화영역에서의 Early 효과를 보다 합리적으로 설명할 수 있음을 보이고 있다.

Batch test methods have developed for a long time to measure kinetic and stoichiometric parameters which are required to perform steady state design and mathematical modelling of activated sludge processes. However, at various So/Xo ratios, abnormal behaviors of ordinary heterotrophic organism in batch tests have been reported in many researches. Thus, in this research, abnormal behaviors of heterotrophs in batch tests were investigated at various So/Xo conditions by measuring and interpreting oxygen utilization rate. As So/Xo ratio increased, the calculated values of maximum specific growth rates, ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$, increased. However, at a certain point of So/Xo (around 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), ${\mu}_{H,max}$ and $K_{MP,max}$ values started to decrease. According to this observation, three prominent behaviours of heterotrophs were identified at various So/Xo conditions. (1) At low So/Xo region (below 5 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), the oxygen utilization rate of heterotrophs in batch tests were almost stable and consequently yielded lower maximum specific growth rate. (2) At high So/Xo region (up to 5~10 mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), oxygen utilization rate incresed sharply with time and indicated more upward curvature than the predicted OUR with conventional activated sludge model, which consists of single hetetrotrophs group. Thus, in this region, competition model of two organisms, fast-grower and slow-grower, seemed to be appropriate. (3) At extremely high So/Xo region (over 10mgCOD/mgMLAVSS), significant oxygen utilization rate was still observed even after depletion of readily biodegradable COD. This might be caused by retarded utilization of intermediates which were generated by self inhibition mechanism in the process of RBCOD uptake.

The effect of solidification rate on micro-segregation in investment casting of IN738LC superalloy was studied. In Ni-based superalloys, the micro-segregation of solute atoms is formed due to limited diffusion during cast and solidification. The microstructure of cast Ni-based superalloys is largely divided into dendrite core of initial solidification and interdendrite of final solidification. In particular, mosaic shaped eutectic γ/γ' and carbides are formed in the interdendrite of the final solidification region in some cases. The micro-segregation phenomena formed in regions of dendrite core and interdendrite including eutectic γ/γ' and carbides were analyzed using OM, SEM/EDS and micro Vickers hardness. As a result of analysis, the lack of (Cr, W) and the accumulation of Ti were measured in the eutectic γ/γ', and the accumulation of (Cr, Mo) and the lack of Ti were measured in the interdendrite between dendrite and eutectic. Carbides formed in interdendritic region were composed of (Ti, W, Mo, C). The segregation applied to each microstructure is mainly due to the formation of γ' with Ni₃(Al,Ti) composition. The Ni accumulation accompanied by Cr depletion, and the Ti accumulated in the eutectic region as a γ' forming elements. The Mo tends to diffuse out from the dendrite core to the interdendrite, and the W diffuse out from the interdendrite to the dendrite core. Therefore, the accumulation of Mo in the interdendrite and the deficiency of W occur in the eutectic region located in the interdendrite. Heat treatment makes the degree of the micro-segregation decrease due to the diffusion during solid solution. This study could be applied to the heat treatment technology for the micro-segregation control in cast Ni-based superalloys.

홍수가 발생하기 전에 위험을 진단할 수 있는 기법이 다음의 절차를 따라 마련되었다. 현존 가용 수자원이 평균치 보다 많은 지 여부를 결정한다. 평균치보다 많은 날의 연속기간을 계산한다. 연속된 기간동안 강수량을 누적한다. 누적된 강수량 중에서 일별 감소량(유출 및 증발산등에 의한)을 감한 다음 다시 하루강수량으로 환산한 것이 유효강수량이다. 유효강수량을 다시 계절적, 지역적 평균치와 비교하여 일반화된 수자원의 집중정도 즉 유효강수지수를 구한다. 유효강수지수가 큰 값을 가지면 홍수의 위험은 증대한다. 이 방법은 1996년 7월말 한반도의 경기 강원지역의 홍수사례를 분석한 연구(한국수자원학회, 1996)와 동일한 사례에 적용하여 그 결과를 비교하였다. 종래의 강우-유출 모형이 가지는 두 가지 과정, 즉 매개변수 추정의 단계와 수위관측의 단계를 생략하였기 때문에 계산이 신속하게 되어 위급할 때 사용될 수 있는 장점이 확인되었다. 두 과정을 생략하고도 유출량이 고려되었기 때문에 강수량만으로 진단하는 방법보다 과학적임이 입증되었다.

This study was conducted to estimate groundwater reserves within a designated depth. Three methods were applied to one representative county in southern Gyeongsang province, South Korea, to estimate the groundwater reserves in the aquifers. Estimated amounts of groundwater reserves in the region ranged from $20.2{\times}10^9m^3$ to $68.7{\times}10^9m^3$ (average $37.9{\times}10^9m^3$). Groundwater recharge obtained with a recharge ratio of 16.6% was $1.1{\times}10^9m^3/year$. Exploitable groundwater with an assumption of decadal-cycle minimal rainfall of 977.0 mm/year was approximated as 72% ($0.8{\times}10^9m^3/year$) of the total replenished water by recharge. The volume of recharge and exploitable water accounted for only 1.1% and 0.8% of groundwater reserves, respectively, which indicates substantial capacity of the reservoir to supply groundwater in an event of unexpected droughts. Nonetheless, each groundwater well should strictly comply with its allocated pumping rate to avoid alluvial groundwater depletion.

It was previously shown that AtNAP1 is a plastidic SufB protein involved in Fe-S cluster assembly in Arabidopsis. In this study, we investigated the effects of depleting SufB protein from plant cells using virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). VIGS of NbNAP1 encoding a Nicotiana benthamiana homolog of AtNAP1 resulted in a leaf yellowing phenotype. NbNAP1 was expressed ubiquitously in plant tissues with the highest level in roots. A GFP fusion protein of the N-terminal region (M1-V103) of NbNAP1 was targeted to chloroplasts. Depletion of NbNAP1 resulted in reduced numbers of chloroplasts of reduced size. Mitochondria also seemed to be affected. Despite the reduced number and size of the chloroplasts in the NbNAP1 VIGS lines, the expression of many nuclear genes encoding chloroplast-targeted proteins and chlorophyll biosynthesis genes remained unchanged.

모바일 기기의 폭발적 증가세로 인해 플래시 메모리의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 낸드 플래시 메모리는 적은 전력 소모량과 높은 전기적 효율 때문에 많은 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 반면에 stress-induced leakage current, positive-charge-assisted tunneling, thermally-assisted tunneling 등의 문제로 신뢰성이 저하되는 문제가 발생한다. 프로그램/이레이즈 동작이 반복되면 소자에서 발생하는 에러의 발생비율이 늘어나 신뢰성이 저하되게 된다. 비록 신뢰성 저하 메커니즘에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어졌으나, 워드라인 스트레스에 의한 프로그램 특성 저하에 대한 구체적인 연구가 진행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 플래시 메모리의 워드라인 스트레스로 인한 전기적 특성 감소 현상을 보기 위해, 플로팅 게이트의 두께를 변화시키면서, electron density와 depletion region 의 변화를 관찰하였다. 낸드 플래시 메모리의 전기적 특성을 멀티 오리엔테이션 모델을 포함한 3차원 TCAD 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 계산하였다. 프로그램/이레이즈 동작이 증가함에 따라, 플로팅 게이트에 공핍영역이 생기고, 블로킹 옥사이드와 게이트 사이에 의도하지 않은 트랩이 생기게 된다. 이로 인해 프로그램/이레이즈 동작이 증가함에 따라, 플로팅 게이트의 electron density가 감소하는 경향을 보았다. 이 연구 결과는 낸드 플래시 메모리 소자에서 신뢰성을 향상시키고 프로그램 특성을 증진시키는데 도움이 된다.
