This paper developed and examined a novel passive vibration isolator (i.e., "X-inerter") motivated by combining a bio-inspired structure and a rack-pinion inerter. The bio-inspired structure provided nonlinear stiffness and damping owing to its geometric nonlinearity. In addition, the behavior was further enhanced by a gear inerter that produced a special nonlinear inertia effect; thus, an X-inerter was developed. As a result, the X-inerter can achieve both high-static-low-dynamic stiffness (HSLDS) and quasi-zero stiffness (QZS), obtaining ultra-low frequency isolation. Furthermore, the installed inerter can produce a coupled nonlinear inertia and damping effect, leading to an anti-resonance frequency near the resonance, wide isolation region, and low resonance peak. Both static and dynamic analyses of the proposed isolator were conducted and the structural parameters' influence was comprehensively investigated. The X-inerter was proven to be comparatively more stable in the ultra-low frequency than the benchmarking QZS isolator due to the nonlinear damping and inertia properties. Moreover, the inertia effect could suppress the bio-inspired structure's super- and sub-harmonic resonance. Therefore, the X-inerter isolator generally possesses desirable nonlinear stiffness, nonlinear damping, and unique nonlinear inertia, designed to achieve the ultra-low natural frequency, the anti-resonance property, and a wide isolation region with a low resonance peak.

Ever since franchising emerged in the industry of distribution, it has been growing explosively in the U.S.A. and all other countries as well. It is a method of expanding a business by licensing independent businessman to sell the franchiser's products and/or services or to follow a format and trade style created by the franchiser using the franchiser's trade marks and trade names. Franchising is a form of business that touches upon many different areas of law including, but not limited to, general contract law, general principles of commercial law, law of intellectual property, competition law, fair trade practices law and other industry specific laws e.g., the Fair Practices in Franchising Act in Korea. Arbitration is a long established, legally recognized procedure for submitting disputes to an outside person(s), mutually selected by the parties, for a final and binding decision. Despite its merits as an alternative dispute resolution, it has been criticized, on the other hand, particularly by franchisees' attorneys on the ground that even though it is required to protect the franchisees against the enforcement of pre-dispute arbitration agreements because of the franchisees' paucity of bargaining power vis-a-vis the franchiser, arbitration cannot afford it. Until recently, however, little has been written about the legal issues pertaining to franchise agreement and arbitration clause contained therein in Korea. This treatise reviews the cases and arguments in relation to the subject especially of the U.S.A., which have been accumulated for decades. The issues addressed herein are the pre-emption by the FAA, the disputes to be arbitrated, the selection and qualification of arbitrators, the place of arbitration hearings and the evidentiary rules applicable, the expenses of arbitration, theory of fiduciary duty and the like, all of which are relevant to franchise agreement.

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging system was constructed and used to detect the hexahistidine-ubiquitin-tagged human parathyroid hormone fragment (His$\sub$6/-Ub-hPTHF(1-34)) expressed in Escherichia coli. The hexahistidine-specific antibody was immobilized on a thin gold film coated with ProLinker$\^$TM/ B, a novel calixcrown derivative with a bifunctional coupling property that permits efficient immobilizaton of capture proteins on solid matrices. The soluble and insoluble fractions of an E. coli cell lysate were spotted onto the antibody-coated gold chip, which was then washed with buffer (pH 7.4) solution and dried. SPR imaging measurements were carried out to detect the expressed His$\sub$6/-Ub-hPTHF(1-34). There was no discernible protein image in the uninduced cell lysate, indicating that non-specific binding of contaminant proteins did not occur on the gold chip surface. It is expected that the approach used here to detect affinity-tagged recombinant proteins using an SPR imaging technique could be used as a powerful tool for the analyses of a number of proteins in a high-throughput mode.

Recently, atomically smooth hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) known as a white graphene has drawn great attention since the discovery of graphene. h-BN is a III-V compound and has a honeycomb structure very similar to graphene with smaller lattice mismatch. Because of strong covalent sp2bonds like graphene, h-BN provides a high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength as well as chemical stability of h-BN superior to graphene. While graphene has a high electrical conductivity, h-BN has a highly dielectric property as an insulator with optical band gap up to 6eV. Similar to the graphene, h-BN can be applied to a variety of field, such as gate dielectric layers/substrate, ultraviolet emitter, transparent membrane, and protective coatings. However, up until recently, obtaining and controlling good quality monolayer h-BN layers have been too difficult and challenging. In this work, we investigate the controlled synthesis of h-BN layers according to the growth condition, time, temperature, and gas partial pressure. h-BN is obtained by using chemical vapor deposition on Cu foil with ammonia borane (BH3NH3) as a source for h-BN. Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM, JEOL-JEM-ARM200F) is used for imaging and structural analysis of h-BN layer. Sample's surface morphology is characterized by Field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM, JEOL JSM-7100F). h-BN is analyzed by Raman spectroscopy (HORIBA, ARAMIS) and its topographic variations by Atomic force microscopy (AFM, Park Systems XE-100).

We have investigated Pt and RuO$_2$as a bottom electrode for a device application of PZT thin film. The bottom electrodes were prepared by using an RF magnetron sputtering method. We studied some of the property influencing factors such as substrate temperature, gas flow rate, and RF power. An oxygen partial pressure from 0 to 50% was investigated. The results show that only Ru metal was grown without supp1ying any O$_2$gas. Both Ru and RuO$_2$phases were formed for O$_2$partial pressure between 10∼40%. A Pure RuO$_2$ phase was obtained with O$_2$partial pressure of 50%. A substrate temperature from room temperature to 400$^{\circ}C$ was investigated with XRD for the film crystallinity examination. The substrate temperature influenced the surface morphology and the resistivity of Pt and RuO$_2$as well as the film crystal structure. From the various considerations, we recommend the substrate temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ for the bottom electrode growth. Because PZT film growth on top of bottom electrode requires a temperature process higher than 500$^{\circ}C$, bottom electrode properties were investigated as a function of post anneal temperature. As post anneal temperature was increased, the resistivity of Pt and RuO$_2$was decreased. However, almost no change was observed in resistivity for an anneal temperature higher than 700$^{\circ}C$. From the studies on resistivity and surface morphology, we recommend a post anneal temperature less than 600$^{\circ}C$.

Direct, continuous, and accurate measurements of solar ultraviolet irradiance (290-400 nm: UVR) have been carried out since 1990, by using both band-spectral ultraviolet-B (290-320 nm: UV-B) and ultraviolet-A (320-400 nm: UV-A) radiometers at Tokai University in Hiratsuka, Japan (35$^{\circ}$N, 139$^{\circ}$E). From our observations, the following findings are provided: 1) an increasing trend in solar UV -B from Oct. 1990 to Sept. 2000; 2) a regional comparison of solar UVR in Japan; 3) the distinct characteristics of UV-B and UV-A irradiance, such as diffuse property, daily and seasonal variation; and 4) human body protection against solar UVR. An increasing 10-year trend in global solar UV - B in Hiratsuka corresponded to a decrease in the total ozone amount measured at Tsukuba (36$^{\circ}$N, 140$^{\circ}$E), giving supportive evidence for a direct link between these two parameters. Furthermore, a strong correlation was found between solar UV-B and total ozone amount from results of UVR measurements at four Tokai University monitoring stations dispersed throughout Japan. Additional results revealed different diffuse properties in global solar UV and in global solar total (300-3000 nm: Total) irradiances. For example, in the global UVR, the diffuse component was dominant: about 80 % independent of weather, with more than 60 % of global UV-B, and more than 50% of global UV-A with even a cloudless clear sky. On the other hand, the portion of the diffuse in the global total irradiance was very low, less than 10 % on a cloudless clear day. Daily and seasonal variations of UV -B and UV -A irradiances were found to be quite different, because of the marked dependence of UV -B irradiance on the atmospheric ozone amount. Moreover, UV -B irradiance showed large daily and seasonal variations: the ratio between maximum and minimum irradiances was more than 5. In contrast, the variation in UV-A was small: the ratio between maximum and minimum was less than 2. Three important facts are proposed concerning solar UVR protection of the human body: 1) the personal minimal erythema dose (MED); 2) gender based difference in MED values; and 3) proper colors for UVR protective clothing.

본 연구는 평판형 히터용 금속방열판상의 세라믹 절연층 제조, 즉 절연성 금속기판에 관한 것이다. 반도체나 디스플레이의 열처리 공정 등에 사용되는 평판형 히터를 제조함에 있어서, 온도 균일도를 높이기 위해 금속 방열판으로서 열전도율이 높고, 비교적 가벼우며, 가공성 좋은 알루미늄 합금 기판이 선호된다. 이 알루미늄 기판에 발열 회로 패턴을 형성하기 위해서는 금속 기판에 절연층으로서 고온 안정성이 우수한 세라믹 유전체막을 코팅하여야 한다. 금속 기판상에 세라믹 절연층을 형성함에 있어서 가장 빈번히 발생하는 첫 번째 문제는 금속과 세라믹의 이종재료 간의 큰 열팽창계수 차이와 약한 결합력에 의한 층간박리 및 균열발생이다. 두 번째 문제는 절연층의 소재 및 구조적 결함에 따른 절연파괴이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점 해소를 위해 금속소재 기판과 세라믹 절연층 사이에 완충층을 도입하여 이들 간의 기계적 매칭과 접합력 개선을 도모하였고, 다중코팅 방법을 적용하여 절연막의 품질과 내전압 특성을 개선하고자 하였다.

옥수수의 습식 분쇄 공정 중 나오는 부산물인 옥피로부터 옥피 단백질(CFP)을 추출하였다. 다양한 가소제와 가교제를 첨가하여 CFP 필름을 제조한 후, 필름의 물성을 측정하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 가소제와 가교제 중, 2 g fructose와 0.03% cinnamaldehyde를 첨가한 필름이 가장 좋은 물성을 가졌다. 또한 여러 농도(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5%)의 녹차 추출물(GTE)을 첨가한 CFP 필름을 제조하였다. GTE의 농도가 증가함에 따라 CFP 필름의 인장강도, 수분 용해도, 불투명도는 증가하였고, 반면에 신장률과 필름의 수분투과도는 대조구에 비해 감소하였다. GTE 첨가한 CFP 필름의 항산화성은 DPPH 소거능으로 측정하였는데, GTE 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 그리고 E. coli O157:H7, L. monocytogenes, S. aureus 에 대한 항균성 실험을 한 결과 또한 GTE 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, GTE 첨가는 CFP 필름의 항산화, 항균효과를 가져다 준다고 판단된다.

Nickel cobalt ferrite($Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$) powder was prepared through the ceramic route by the calcination of a stoichiometric mixture of NiO, CoO and $Fe_2O_3$ at $1100^{\circ}C$. The pressed pellets of $Ni_{0.5}Co_{0.5}Fe_2O_4$ were isothermally reduced in pure hydrogen at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis, the reduction behavior and the kinetic reaction mechanisms of the synthesized ferrite were studied. The initial ferrite powder and the various reduction products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, reflected light microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer to reveal the effect of hydrogen reduction on the composition, microstructure and magnetic properties of the produced Fe-Ni-Co alloy. The arrhenius equation with the approved mathematical formulations for the gas solid reaction was applied to calculate the activation energy($E_a$) and detect the controlling reaction mechanisms. In the initial stage of hydrogen reduction, the reduction rate was controlled by the gas diffusion and the interfacial chemical reaction. However, in later stages, the rate was controlled by the interfacial chemical reaction. The nature of the hydrogen reduction and the magnetic property changes for nickel cobalt ferrite were compared with the previous result for nickel ferrite. The microstructural development of the synthesized Fe-Ni-Co alloy with an increase in the reduction temperature improved its soft magnetic properties by increasing the saturation magnetization($M_s$) and by decreasing the coercivity($H_c$). The Fe-Ni-Co alloy showed higher saturation magnetization compared to Fe-Ni alloy.
