본 연구에서는 열 및 불산을 이용한 후처리 공정이 레지스트층을 이용하여 제작된 탄소나노튜브의 전자 방출 특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 전자 방출 전류는 초기에 $8V/{\mu}m$의 전계에서 $4.2{\mu}A/cm^2$의 전류에서 열 및 불산 처리 시 각각 $7.5mA/cm^2$ 및 $79mA/cm^2$로 향상되었다. 하지만 열 및 불산 처리를 동시에 실시한 경우 전류 밀도는 $426mA/cm^2$ 및 $656mA/cm^2$로 향상된 전자 방출 특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 전자 방출 특성은 처리 순서에 따라 증가하는 양이 다르게 나타났으며, 가장 우수한 전자 방출 특성은 열 처리를 먼저 시행 후, 불산 처리를 하는 공정에서 나타났다. 이는 열 처리에 의한 탄소나노튜브의 결정성의 증가와 이후 불산 처리에 의한 불소 결합의 증가에 기인함을 알 수 있었다. 강한 불소 결합은 탄소나노튜브 에미터의 전자 방출 특성의 향상에 크게 기여를 하였다.

SCK 종양세포를 이식받은 mice에 Fluosol-DA $20\%$를 정맥주사한 후 이 종양세포를 추출하여 in vitro 실험으로 측정해 본 방사선 체포생존곡선의 Do와 Dq의 값은 Fluosol-DA $20\%$를 투여하지 않은 대조군과 대동소이하여 Fluosol-DA $20\%$가 방사선 감수성 자체에 미치는 영향은 미미하다고 해석되었다. 또한 Fluosol-DA $20\%$만을 투여한 종양의 산소분압($PO_2$)에는 별 변화가 없었으나 Fluosol-DA $20\%$를 Carbogen 흡입하에 투여시킨 종양에선 대조군의 산소분압 중앙값 4 mmHg가 62mmHg로 10배이상 증가되어 reoxygenation effect를 직접 증명할 수 있었고 hypoxic cell fraction도 약 8배정도 감소됨을 규명하였다. 한편 Carbogen만을 단독으로 흡입시킨 종양의 경우에도 산소분압의 증가를 관찰할 수 있었으나 Fluosol-DA $20\%$ 병용군보다는 산소분압상승 효과가 미약함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 따라서 Fluosol-DA $20\%$에 의한 방사선 반응의 향상은 방사선 감수성의 증가보다는 reoxygenation의 결과이며 reoxygenation 효과를 개선하기 위해서는 Fluosol-DA의 단독투여보다는 Car-bogen 흡입하에서 Fluosol-OA $20\%$의 투여가 이상적이라는 결론을 얻었다.

In this study, (GaN)_1-x(ZnO)_x solid solution nanoparticles with a high zinc content are prepared by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis and subsequent nitridation. The structure and morphology of the samples are investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The characterization results show a phase transition from the Zn and Ga-based oxides (ZnO or ZnGa₂O₄) to a (GaN)_1-x(ZnO)_x solid solution under an NH3 atmosphere. The effect of the precursor solution concentration and nitridation temperature on the final products are systematically investigated to obtain (GaN)_1-x(ZnO)_x nanoparticles with a high Zn concentration. It is confirmed that the powder synthesized from the solution in which the ratio of Zn and Ga was set to 0.8:0.2, as the initial precursor composition was composed of about 0.8-mole fraction of Zn, similar to the initially set one, through nitriding treatment at 700℃. Besides, the synthesized nanoparticles exhibited the typical XRD pattern of (GaN)_1-x(ZnO)_x, and a strong absorption of visible light with a bandgap energy of approximately 2.78 eV, confirming their potential use as a hydrogen production photocatalyst.

C-ITS(Cooperative-Intelligent Transportation System)는 차량과 차량 또는 차량과 인프라 간의 양방향 무선통신 기술을 기반으로 전방의 교통상황 정보를 제공하는 기술 및 시스템을 의미한다. C-ITS 환경에서는 Vehicle-to-Everything(V2X) 기반의 경고 정보를 제공함으로써 운전자로 하여금 감속을 유도하고, 급격한 감속과 가속을 지양하도록 하여 주행행태를 안정적으로 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 추측된다. 본 연구는 서울시 C-ITS 기반의 경고 정보의 개별적인 효과를 검증하기 위해 경고정보에 대한 순응여부를 판단할 수 있는 방법론을 개발하였으며 추가로 주행안전성 변화를 분석하여 경고정보의 효과를 정량적으로 평가해 보고자 한다. 순응여부는 정보 제공 유무로 구별되는 사전 PVD (Probe Vehicle Data)와 사후 PVD의 속도 분포를 추출하여 비교하였으며, 주행안전성 평가는 Jerk와 가속소음을 계산하여 분석을 수행하였다. 정량적 분석을 위해서 서울 C-ITS 사업기간동안 수집되었던 PVD와 부족한 데이터 수집을 보완하고자 DTG (Digital Tacho Graph) 데이터를 추가 수집하여 활용하였다. 순응도 분석결과 충분한 유효샘플이 수집된 경고정보에 대해 운전자는 감속운행행태를 보였으며, Jerk와 가속소음과 같은 주행안전성 지표를 산출하여 분석한 결과 경고정보 제공으로 인해 주행안전성이 개선되었음을 알 수 있었다.

This study evaluated the effect of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, a mixture of Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus plantarum) supplementation, the storage temperature, and storage period on the fermentation characteristics and in vitro ruminal digestibility of a total mixed ration (TMR). The TMR was prepared into two groups, namely, CON (control TMR without the LAB) and ML (supplementing a mixture of E. faecium and L. plantarum in the ratio of 1% and 2% (v/w), respectively). Both groups were divided and stored at 4℃ or 25℃ for 3, 7, and 14 d fermentation periods. Supplementing LAB to the TMR did not affect the chemical composition of TMR except for the lactate and acetate concentration. Storage temperatures affected (p<0.05) the chemical composition of the TMR, including pH, lactate, and acetate contents. The chemical composition of TMR was also affected (p<0.05) by the storage period. During in vitro rumen fermentation study, the ML treatment showed lower (p<0.05) dry matter digestibility at 24 h incubation with a higher pH compared to the CON. There was no difference in the in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) of TMR between the CON and ML treatment however, at 24 h, ML treatment showed lower (p<0.05) IVDMD with a higher pH compared to the CON. The effects of storage temperature and period on IVDMD were not apparent at 24 h incubation. In an in vivo study using Holstein steers, supplementing LAB to the basal TMR for 60 d did not differ in the final body weight and average daily gain. Likewise, the fecal microbiota did not differ between CON and ML. However, the TMR used for the present study did include a commercial yeast in CON, whereas ML did not; therefore, results were, to some extent, compromised in examining the effect of LAB. In conclusion, storage temperature and period significantly affected the TMR quality, increasing acetate and lactate concentration. However, the actual effects of LAB supplementation were equivocal.

Objective: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of correct occlusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA) on intracardiac blood flow and thrombus formation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) using four-dimensional (4D) flow magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-dimensional (3D)-printed phantoms. Materials and Methods: Three life-sized 3D-printed left atrium (LA) phantoms, including a pre-occlusion (i.e., before the occlusion procedure) model and correctly and incorrectly occluded post-procedural models, were constructed based on cardiac computed tomography images from an 86-year-old male with long-standing persistent AF. A custom-made closed-loop flow circuit was set up, and pulsatile simulated pulmonary venous flow was delivered by a pump. 4D flow MRI was performed using a 3T scanner, and the images were analyzed using MATLAB-based software (R2020b; Mathworks). Flow metrics associated with blood stasis and thrombogenicity, such as the volume of stasis defined by the velocity threshold ($\left|\vec{V}\right|$ < 3 cm/s), surface-and-time-averaged wall shear stress (WSS), and endothelial cell activation potential (ECAP), were analyzed and compared among the three LA phantom models. Results: Different spatial distributions, orientations, and magnitudes of LA flow were directly visualized within the three LA phantoms using 4D flow MRI. The time-averaged volume and its ratio to the corresponding entire volume of LA flow stasis were consistently reduced in the correctly occluded model (70.82 mL and 39.0%, respectively), followed by the incorrectly occluded (73.17 mL and 39.0%, respectively) and pre-occlusion (79.11 mL and 39.7%, respectively) models. The surfaceand-time-averaged WSS and ECAP were also lowest in the correctly occluded model (0.048 Pa and 4.004 Pa^-1, respectively), followed by the incorrectly occluded (0.059 Pa and 4.792 Pa^-1, respectively) and pre-occlusion (0.072 Pa and 5.861 Pa^-1, respectively) models. Conclusion: These findings suggest that a correctly occluded LAA leads to the greatest reduction in LA flow stasis and thrombogenicity, presenting a tentative procedural goal to maximize clinical benefits in patients with AF.

Metal oxide gas sensors based on semiconductor type have attracted a great deal of attention due to their low cost, flexible production and simple usability. However, most works have been focused on n-type oxides, while the characteristics of p-type oxide gas sensors have been barely studied. An investigation on p-type oxides is very important in that the use of them makes possible the novel sensors such as p-n diode and tandem devices. Monoclinic cupric oxide (CuO) is p-type semiconductor with narrow band gap (~1.2 eV). This is composed of abundant, nontoxic elements on earth, and thus low-cost, environment-friendly devices can be realized. However, gas sensing properties of neat CuO were rarely explored and the mechanism still remains unclear. In this work, the neat CuO layers with highly ordered mesoporous structures were prepared by a template-free, one-pot solution-based method using novel ink solutions, formulated with copper formate tetrahydrate, hexylamine and ethyl cellulose. The shear viscosity of the formulated solutions was 5.79 Pa s at a shear rate of 1 s-1. The solutions were coated on SiO2/Si substrates by spin-coating (ink) and calcined for 1 h at the temperature of $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ in air. The surface and cross-sectional morphologies of the formed CuO layers were observed by a focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM) and porosity was determined by image analysis using simple computer-programming. XRD analysis showed phase evolutions of the layers, depending on the calcination temperature, and thermal decompositions of the neat precursor and the formulated ink were investigated by TGA and DSC. As a result, the formation of the porous structures was attributed to the vaporization of ethyl cellulose contained in the solutions. Mesoporous CuO, formed with the ink solution, consisted of grains and pores with nano-meter size. All of them were strongly dependent on calcination temperature. Sensing properties toward H2 and C2H5OH gases were examined as a function of operating temperature. High and fast responses toward H2 and C2H5OH gases were discussed in terms of crystallinity, nonstoichiometry and morphological factors such as porosity, grain size and surface-to-volume ratio. To our knowledge, the responses toward H2 and C2H5OH gases of these CuO gas sensors are comparable to previously reported values.

A new plasma process, i.e., the combination of PIII&D and HIPIMS, was developed to implant non-gaseous ions into materials surface. HIPIMS is a special mode of operation of pulsed-DC magnetron sputtering, in which high pulsed DC power exceeding ~1 kW/$cm^2$ of its peak power density is applied to the magnetron sputtering target while the average power density remains manageable to the cooling capacity of the equipment by using a very small duty ratio of operation. Due to the high peak power density applied to the sputtering target, a large fraction of sputtered atoms is ionized. If the negative high voltage pulse applied to the sample stage in PIII&D system is synchronized with the pulsed plasma of sputtered target material by HIPIMS operation, the implantation of non-gaseous ions can be successfully accomplished. The new process has great advantage that thin film deposition and non-gaseous ion implantation along with in-situ film modification can be achieved in a single plasma chamber. Even broader application areas of PIII&D technology are believed to be envisaged by this newly developed process. In one application of non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation, Ge ions were implanted into SiO2 thin film at 60 keV to form Ge quantum dots embedded in SiO2 dielectric material. The crystalline Ge quantum dots were shown to be 5~10 nm in size and well dispersed in SiO2 matrix. In another application, Ag ions were implanted into SS-304 substrate to endow the anti-microbial property of the surface. Yet another bio-application was Mg ion implantation into Ti to improve its osteointegration property for bone implants. Catalyst is another promising application field of nongaseous plasma immersion ion implantation because ion implantation results in atomically dispersed catalytic agents with high surface to volume ratio. Pt ions were implanted into the surface of Al2O3 catalytic supporter and its H2 generation property was measured for DME reforming catalyst. In this talk, a newly developed, non-gaseous plasma immersion ion implantation technique and its applications would be shown and discussed.
