  • 텍스쳐링은 태양전지 표면에 어떠한 "요철"을 만들거나 거칠게 만들어 빛이 반사되는 면을 최대한 늘리는 구조를 만드는 공정으로 anti-reflection coating과 같이 태양전지에 입사되는 빛의 반사를 최소화 시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼의 경우 표면에 피라미드 구조를 형성하는 것이 텍스쳐링 공정인데, 수산화칼륨과 이소프로필 알콜의 혼합용액으로 인해 식각되는 웨이퍼 표면이 작은 "pellet"으로 시작하여 그 크기와 수가 점점 증가하여 피라미드의 형태를 갖춰가는 방법으로 진행된다. 이와 같은 텍스쳐링 공정의 성패를 좌우하는 가장 큰 이슈는 "식각률"이다. 이 식각률에 영향을 주는 인자는 그 종류가 많으나 온도, 시간, KOH 농도(비율) 세 가지로 압축할 수 있다. 또 다른 요소인 Bath 내 chemical flow 및 Bubbling은 정량화하기 어렵고, 이용 장비가 변경되면 공정 조건 또한 변경되기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼에 적용하는 최적의 텍스쳐링 조건을 수립하기 위해 주요 공정변수를 온도, 시간, KOH 농도로 정하고, 다구치 방법을 사용하여 주요공정변수의 범위를 정하였으며, 보다 완벽한 강건설계를 위하여 3인자 3수준의 망소특성으로 설계하였다. 그 결과 반사율과 식각률의 경향성을 파악하여 주요 변수들 간 최적의 조건을 찾을 수 있었다.

  • A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the polycrystal CuGaSe2, it was found tetragonal structure whose lattice constant at and co were 5.615 ${\AA}$ and 11.025 ${\AA}$, respectively. To obtain the single crystal thin films, CuGaSe2 mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the hot wall epitaxy (MWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were Slot and 450$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (UXD). The carrier density and mobility of CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films measured with Hall effect by van der Pauw method are 5.0l${\times}$10$\^$17/ cm$\^$-3/ and 245 $\textrm{cm}^2$/V$.$s at 293K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the CuGaSe2 obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, Eg(T) = 1.7998 eV - (8.7489${\times}$10$\^$-4/ eV/K)T$^2$/(T + 335 K. After the as-grown CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films was annealed in Cu-, Se-, and Ca-atmospheres, the origin of point defects of CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films has been investigated by the photoluminescence(PL) at 10 K The native defects of V$\_$CU/, V$\_$Se/, Cu$\_$int/, and Se$\_$int/ obtained by PL measurements were classified as a donors or accepters type. And we concluded that the heat-treatment in the Cu-atmosphere converted CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films to an optical n-type. Also, we confirmed that Ga in CuGaSe2/GaAs did not form the native defects because Ga in CuGaSe2 single crystal thin films existed in the form of stable bonds.

  • I보일러-터빈 설비는 화력발전소의 주전원설비 내지 자가발전설비로서 보일러는 연료를 연소시켜 그 열을 수관내의 물에 전달하여 필요한 증기를 얻는 설비이고, 터빈은 보일러에서 보내온 고온, 고압의 증기를 팽창시켜 기계적 에너지로 변환하여 그 에너지로 발전기를 회전하여 전기를 얻는 장치이다. 보일러-터빈 설비는 전기적 출력과 드럼내의 증기압 및 수위를 적절히 조절함으로써 발전소의 안정된 운전을 도모하고 발전용 연료의 절감 및 이를 통한 공해 저감을 이루어야 할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 보일러-터빈 설비에 대한 제어시스템을 설계하는 한 방법으로서 기준모델 추종형 퍼지 시스템을 제안한다. 보일러-터빈 설비는 다변수 비선형 시스템으로서 일반적인 제어시스템 구성이 힘들지만, 오버슈트가 없으며 속응성이 좋은 기준모델을 선정하고 이 기준모델을 추종하도록 하는데 일반적인 1입력-1출력 퍼지제어기만을 적용하여도 기준신호에 대한 추종성 및 외란제거 능력 그리고 모델링 오차에 대한 강인성까지 나타내는 제어시스템의 설계가 가능하게 되었다. 따라서 전원설비로서의 보일러-터빈 설비에 대한 효율적인 제어시스템 설계방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • An experiment was conducted using a [6, 6-$^2H$]glucose isotope dilution method to determine the effects of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) on plasma glucose metabolism in sheep taken from a thermoneutral environment and exposed to a hot environment. The sheep were fed either mixed hay (MH) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) at a 60:40 ratio or MH and plantain (PL) at a 9:1 ratio in a crossover design for each 23-day period. In both dietary treatments the metabolizable energy (ME) and crude protein intake were designed to be isoenergetic and isoproteinous at around maintenance level. The sheep were taken from a thermoneutral environment ($20^{\circ}C$, 70% RH) and exposed to a hot environment ($28-30^{\circ}C$, 70% RH) for 5 days. The isotope dilution method using a single injection of [6, 6-$^2H$]glucose was performed on the $18^{th}$ day of the thermoneutral environment and on the $5^{th}$ day of heat exposure. Plasma glucose pool size was numerically lower (p = 0.26) during heat exposure on both dietary treatments, and numerically higher (p = 0.13) on the MH diet irrespective of environmental temperature. Plasma NEFA concentration (p = 0.01) and glucose turnover rate (p = 0.03) were decreased during heat exposure, but remained similar between diets. It could be concluded that, although no positive impact of plantain on glucose metabolism was found under the present experimental conditions (plantain constituted only 10% of basal diet), plantain herb is an alternative to MH for rearing sheep in both thermoneutral and hot environments.

  • Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is of great importance in cell metabolism and energy conversion. IDH mutation in glioma cells is reported to be associated with an increased overall survival. However, effects biological behavior of therapy of gliomas are unclear. Here, we investigated the influence of wild-type and mutated IDH genes on glioma cell biological behavior and response to chemotherapy. Relevant mechanisms were further explored. We designed our study on the background of the IDHR132H mutation. Stable cell lines were constructed by transfection. The CCK-8 method was used to assess cell proliferation, flow cytometry for the cell cycle and cell apoptosis, and the transwell method for cell invasion. Nude mouse models were employed to determine tumorigenesis and sensitivity to chemotherapy. Western blotting was used to detect relevant protein expression levels. We found that overexpression of wild IDH1 gene did not cause changes in the cell cycle, apoptosis and invasion ability. However, it resulted in chemotherapy resistance to a high dose of temozolomide (TMZ) in vivo and in vitro. The IDH1 mutation caused cell cycle arrest in G1 stage and a reduction of proliferation and invasion ability, while raising sensitivity to chemotherapy. This may provide an explanation for the better prognosis of IDH1 mutated glioma patients and the relative worse prognosis of their wild-type IDH1 counterparts. We also expect IDH1 mutations may be optimized as new targets to improve the prognosis of glioma patients.

  • Fischer Tropsch reaction is one of the interesting topic for renewable and clean energy. Polymerization of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide with hydrogen over metal supported catalyst can produce long chain hydrocarbons. Synthetic liquid hydrocarbons are promising alternative to fossil fuels. This research work has been focused on the synthesis of Fe based catalyst for Fischer Tropsch reaction. Mesoporous silica (MS) support prepared by a precipitation method using two different washing solution, distilled water (DW) and acid in ethanol solution (ET), and different calcination temperature. Then, Fe/MS was prepared by an incipient wetness impregnation method. All of samples were systematically characterized using various physical and chemical techniques. TEM and XRD analysis were used to ensure that the cubic Ia3d mesostructure is stable after calcination. FTIR spectra are useful to ascertain the existence of template in the support. TPR studies were also used to understand the nature of Fe species and their reducibility. The results reveal that washing the support with distilled water and calcination at $550^{\circ}C$ can efficiently remove the triblock copolymer templates. The existence of template in the support affects the textural properties of all catalyst investigated.

  • The spinel material $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ has attracted considerable attention as an anode electrode material for many battery applications owing to its light weight and high energy density. However, the real capacity of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ powder as determined by the solid-state method is lower than the ideal capacity. In this study, we investigated the effect of the dopants in M-doped spinel $Ba_xLi_{4-2x}Ti_5O_{12}$(x=0.005, 0.05, 0.1) powders prepared by the solid-state reaction method and used as the anode material in lithiumion batteries. The results confirmed the effect of the Ba and Sr dopants on the powder properties of the spinel $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$, which exhibited a pure spinel structure without any secondary phase in its XRD pattern. Moreover, the electrochemical properties of the spinel M-LTO materials were investigated using a half cell. The electrochemical data show that cells with anodes made of undoped $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ and Ba- and Sr-doped $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ have discharge capacities of 97, 130, and 112 mAh/g, respectively, at the first cycle. Moreover, the Ba- and Sr-doped spinel $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ demonstrated good properties in the mid-voltage range at 1.55 V, showing stable cyclic voltammogram properties which surpassed those of the same material without Ba or Sr at 1 C after 100 cycles.

  • 본 연구에서는 CFD 해석기법을 이용하여 서로 다른 두 가지 형식의 수직축 조류발전용 터빈에 대한 출력성능 및 하중 해석을 수행하였다. ANSYS CFX를 이용하여 시간변화에 따른 해석을 수행하였으며, H 타입 로터의 정상 및 극치운전조건에서 각각 7.47kW와 67.6kW의 출력이 나타났다. 이는 초기 설계조건에 적합하지 않은 것으로 확인되었으며, helical 타입 로터의 정상 및 극치운전조건에서는 출력성능이 거의 설계 운전점에 가까운 특성을 나타내었다. 블레이드 주변에 발생하는 캐비테이션은 두 종류의 로터 블레이드 모두에서 반복적으로 발생되었으며, 조류 터빈의 순간 출력변화에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 안정적인 출력품질의 확보 및 피로파손 방지를 위해서는 캐비테이션 현상의 발생을 최소화 할 수 있는 설계가 필요하다.

  • This study concerned the analysis on the efficiency of the conversion of water tank type supply system to direct water supply system to examine the feasibility of the conversion, as well as the calculation of optimal conversion range that enables the supply of safe, high-quality water at stable pressure in accordance with the standards of water supply facility. The results of this research showed that when converting water supply system from water tank type supply system to direct water supply system, more nodal points could be properly converted and more reduction of electricity usage was expected in case water pressure rather than residence time was fixed. This means that higher efficacy can be obtained by fixing water pressure when converting water supply system. However, since the number of the locations that received on-spot inspection was small and the electricity usage measured was not exclusively by water supply facility, it is difficult to judge that such reduction of electricity usage accurately represents reduced electricity usage by water supply facility alone. therefore, after having secured on-spot information about a larger number of locations in apartment complexes that have converted water supply system, and utilizing information about electricity usage exclusively by water supply facility, the proposed method of this research could be applied to accurately deducing expected reduction of electricity usage by water supply facilities of various other apartment complexes. It is also considered possible to deduce an effective operation method of water supply system by finding out an area that shows low pressure or low residual chlorine concentration in the optimal conversion range of water supply, followed by estimating the proper location of pumping station or the proper chlorine dosage at the power purification plant that supply water to the target area.
