Experimental work was carried out in order to produce a novel grade of ink-jet paper that has both high print-out quality and price competitiveness. Usually, silica and PVOH has been used for ink-jet paper to design the coating layer that has a hydrophilic and micro-porous structure. However, poor rheological characteristics and low productivity of the silica-PVOH system make the price of the ink-jet paper high. The main focus of this study was replacing the conventional silica (coating pigment) PVOH (binder) coating system with the new PCC (coating pigment) cationic starch (binder) coating system, and optimizing thecoating technology associated with PPC-cationic starch system. In this study, ink-jet print quality of PCC-coated papers was compared with that of silica-coated paper. Two types of PCC were used: conventional type and colloid type. It turned out that PCC C, a conventional coating pigment, has not given a desirable result: it showed high dot reproduction, but it gave low optical density. In spite of low dot reproduction, the qualities of PCC A were comparable or superior to those of silica in optical density, color reproduction, and the uniformity of printing surface. It was also shown that the problems that are happened when the dosage level of cationic starch was too low were varied with ink-type used in each printer. However, in the case of low binder level, the produced image was widely spread resulting fromtoo low optical density of images, or from the lack of bonding ability to set ink into coating surface.

We investigated the reduction leaching process of manganese dioxide ore using black locust as reductant in sulfuric acid solution. The effect of parameters on the leaching efficiency of manganese was the primary focus. Experimental results indicate that manganese leaching efficiency of 97.57% was achieved under the optimal conditions: weight ratio of black locust to manganese dioxide ore (WT) of 4:10, ore particle size of $63{\mu}m$, $1.7mol{\cdot}L^{-1}\;H_2SO_4$, liquid to solid ratio (L/S) of 5:1, leaching time of 8 h, leaching temperature of 368 K and agitation rate of $400r{\cdot}min^{-1}$. The leaching rate of manganese, based on the shrinking core model, was found to be controlled by inner diffusion through the ash/inert layer composed of associated minerals. The activation energy of reductive leaching is $17.81kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$. To conclude the reaction mechanism, XRD analysis of leached ore residue indicates manganese compounds disappear; FTIR characterization of leached residue of black locust sawdust shows hemicellulose and cellulose disappear after the leaching process.

In this study we have used the data of various instruments onboard the THEMIS spacecraft to study the characteristics of the outer radiation belt during the ascending phase of solar cycle 24. The most astonishing result is that we discovered four long-term (a month or so) periods during which the belt has nearly disappeared. The first disappearance started late 2008, followed by reappearance in ~a month, and three more similar events repeated until early 2010 when the belt has reappeared. This is well revealed at 719 keV electrons, which is the currently available uppermost energy channel from the THEMIS SST observation, but also seen at even lower energies. Overall consistent features were confirmed using the NOAA-POES observations. The vanished belt periods are associated with extremely weak solar wind conditions, low geomagnetic disturbances (in terms of Kp and AE/AL), greatly suppressed wave (ULF and chorus) activities, greatly reduced storm and substorm activities (little source particle supply), and expanded plasmapause locations. The direct observations of such events shed light on the fundamental question of the origin of the radiation belt, which is the main focus of our presentation.

Shocks are ubiquitous in astrophysical plasmas: bow shocks are formed by the interaction of solar wind with planetary magnetic fields, and supernova explosions and jets produce shocks in interstellar and intergalactic spaces. The global morphologies of these shocks are usually described by a set of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations which tacitly assumes local thermal equilibrium, and the resulting Rankine-Hugoniot shock jump conditions are applied to obtain the relationship between the upstream and downstream physical quantities. While thermal equilibrium can be achieved easily in collisional fluids, it is generally believed that collisions are infrequent in astrophysical settings. In fact, shock widths are much smaller than collisional mean free paths and a variety of kinetic phenomena are seen at the shock fronts according to in situ observations of planetary shocks. Hence, both the MHD and kinetic equations have been adopted in theoretical and numerical studies to describe different aspects of the physical phenomena associated with astrophysical shocks. In this paper, we present the results of 3D relativistic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations for ion-electron plasmas, with focus on the shock structures: when a jet propagates into an unmagnetized ambient plasma, a shock forms in the nonlinear stage of the Weibel instability. As the shock shows the structures that resemble those predicted in MHD systems, we compare the results with those predicted in the MHD shocks. We also discuss the thermalization processes of the upstream flows based on the time evolutions of the phase space and the velocity distribution, as well as the wave spectra analyses.

The space radiation dose over air routes including polar routes should be carefully considered, especially when space weather shows sudden disturbances such as coronal mass ejections (CMEs), flares, and accompanying solar energetic particle events. We recently established a heliocentric potential (HCP) prediction model for real-time operation of the CARI-6 and CARI-6M programs. Specifically, the HCP value is used as a critical input value in the CARI-6/6M programs, which estimate the aviation route dose based on the effective dose rate. The CARI-6/6M approach is the most widely used technique, and the programs can be obtained from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). However, HCP values are given at a one month delay on the FAA official webpage, which makes it difficult to obtain real-time information on the aviation route dose. In order to overcome this critical limitation regarding the time delay for space weather customers, we developed a HCP prediction model based on sunspot number variations (Hwang et al. 2015). In this paper, we focus on improvements to our HCP prediction model and update it with neutron monitoring data. We found that the most accurate method to derive the HCP value involves (1) real-time daily sunspot assessments, (2) predictions of the daily HCP by our prediction algorithm, and (3) calculations of the resultant daily effective dose rate. Additionally, we also derived the HCP prediction algorithm in this paper by using ground neutron counts. With the compensation stemming from the use of ground neutron count data, the newly developed HCP prediction model was improved.

본 연구는 라틴아메리카의 일부 지역인 안데스와 리버플레이트 지역에서 양보접속사구로 기능하는 [todavía que]에 대한 형태-통사적 그리고 의미적 특성을 연구하고자 한다. Real Academia $Espa{\tilde{n}}ola$(2009)에 따르면 부사 todavía는 초점과 관련된 다양한 맥락에서 사용되며 특히 안데스와 리버플레이트 지역에서는 [todavía que]가 양보구문을 형성하며 첨가적 해석을 갖는다고 한다. 케추아어의 접미사 '-raq'과 아이마라어의 접미사 '-raki '는 스페인어의 부사 todavía와 동일한 의미를 갖는다. 그러나 이 두 원주민 언어에서는 상기의 접미사가 첨가 초점사의 기능을 수행하지만 스페인어에서는 첨가 초점사로 쓰이는 접미사는 없으므로 이러한 범주적 불일치로 인해 [todavía que]구조에서는 todavía가 부사의 형태로 접속사 que와 함께 첨가 초점사로 사용된다. 본 연구는 이러한 형태-통사적 그리고 의미적 특성은 두 원주민어들과 스페인어의 언어접촉 현상에서 비롯된 것으로 주장한다. 또한 이러한 주장에 기초하여 스페인어의 부사 todavía가 어원적으로 전칭양화사와 관련되는 사실과 척도와 관련된 자질을 내포하는 특성에 기인하여 [todavía que]는 척도 첨가의 의미를 갖는 양보의 접속사로 기능한다고 주장하고자 한다.

Iron nanoparticles (Fe-NPs) were synthesized employing Lagenaria siceraria (LS) leaf aqueous extract as a reducing and capping medium to remove methylene blue (MB) dye and have antibacterial properties against G-negative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). The formation of LS-Fe-NPs (Lagenaria-siceraria-iron-nanoparticles) was confirmed by a change in color from pale yellow to dark brown. Characterization techniques, such as particle size analysis (PSA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), were employed to prove nano spherical particles of size range between 80-100 nm. Phytochemicals and the presence of iron in LS-Fe-NPs nanoparticles were proved by UV-visible spectrophotometry. Further, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis results confirmed the existence of bioactive molecules in the plants. The magnetic property was analyzed using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which displayed that the synthesized nanoparticles were superparamagnetic and exhibiting a saturation magnetization of 12.5 emu/g. Synthesized magnetic nanoparticles were used in methylene blue (MB) dye removal through adsorption. About 83% of 100 mg/L MB dye was removed within 120 min at pH 6 with a maximum adsorption capacity of 246.8 mg/g. Antibacterial efficacy of LS-Fe-NPs was screened against G-negative (Escherichia coli) and G-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), respectively, and found that LS-Fe-NPs were effective against Staphylococcus aureus.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been widely investigated as a next-generation solar cell because of their simple fabrication process and low coats. The cells use a porous nanocrystalline TiO2 matrix coated with a sensitizer dye that acts as the light-harvesting element. The photo-exited dye injects electrons into the $TiO_2$ particles, and the oxide dye reacts with I- in the electrolyte in regenerative cycle that is completed by the reduction of $I_3^-$ at a platinum-coated counter electrode. Since $TiO_2$ porous film plays a key role in the enhancement of photoelectric conversion efficiency of DSSC, many scientists focus their researches on it. Especially, a high light-to-electricity conversion efficiency results from particle size and crystallographic phase, film porosity, surface structure, charge and surface area to volume ratio of porous $TiO_2$ electrodes, on which the dye can be sufficiently adsorbed. Effective treatment of the photoanode is important to improve DSSC performance. In this paper, to obtain properties of surface and dispersion as nitric acid treated $TiO_2$ photoelectrode was investigate. The photovoltaic characteristics of DSSCs based the electrode fabricated by nitric acid pre-treatment $TiO_2$ materials gave better performances on both of short circuit current density and open circuit voltage. We compare dispersion of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles before and after nitric acid treatment and measured Ti oxidized state from XPS. Low charge transfer resistance was obtained in nitric acid treated sample than that of untreated sample. The dye-sensitized solar cell based on the nitric acid treatment had open-circuit voltage of 0.71 V, a short-circuit current of 15.2 mAcm-2 and an energy conversion efficiency of 6.6 % under light intensity of $100\;mWcm^{-2}$. About 14 % increases in efficiency obtained when the $TiO_2$ electrode was treated by nitric acid.

본 총설에서는 나노에멀젼을 제조하기 위한 다양한 유화방법과 나노에멀젼의 화장품 응용에 대해 논의하고자 한다. 나노에멀젼은 입경이 일반적으로 20 ~ 200 nm의 범위에 있으며 입자 분포도 좁은 영역을 보인다. 많은 논문에서 O/W 또는 W/O 나노에멀젼 제조에 있어서 고압을 이용한 분산 방법을 보고하고 있지만 유화과정 중에 일어나는 상전이에 기초한, 응축 또는 저 에너지 유화 방법에 관심이 증가하고 있다. 상 거동 연구 결과에 의하면 나노에멀젼의 입자 크기는 온도나 구성 성분에 의해 유도되는 전상점에서의 계면활성제 상 구조(이중 연속상 마이크로에멀젼 또는 라멜라 액정)에 의해서 지배된다. PIT 방법에 의해서 제조된 나노에멀젼 연구에서 초기 상평형 상태가 단일상인지 다중상인지 관계없이 유화입자의 크기는 마이크로 에멀젼 이중 연속상에 오일이 완전히 가용화됨에 따른다는 것을 보여준다. 나노에멀젼의 안정성은 나노에멀젼의 입자 크기가 작 기 때문에 크리밍, 침전 또는 합일 현상보다 오스트왈드 라이퍼닝에 의해 지배된다. 나노에멀젼은 나노에멀젼 입자를 마이크로 리엑터로 활용하고 모노머를 이용하여 나노 입자를 제조하거나 화장품 등의 유효성분 전달 등에 이용되고 있다. 본 총설에서는 화장품에의 응용에 초점을 맞췄다.

티타늄 산화막을 나노단위에서 변형시키는 방법은 다공성 표면을 강화하는 내부적 접근과 나노입자를 피복하는 외부적 접근으로 나눌 수 있다. 나노표면은 나노튜브, 나노피트, 나노노듈 및 다형구조 등 다양한 형태를 지닌다. 형성방법 및 형성재료에 따라 다른 표면이 생성되지만, 현재까지 표준화된 형성방법은 없다. 나노표면을 분석해 보면 마이크론 단위의 표면구조에는 영향을 미치지 않으며 전기화학적으로 안정적이다. 나노표면은 세포독성이 거의 없으며 조골세포의 증식과 분화를 모두 촉진하고, 섬유모세포의 증식을 저해하여 연조직 개재를 감소시키는 효과를 가진다. 또한 세포 및 단백질과 유사한 크기 및 형태를 가지기 때문에 조직과의 친화성이 우수하여 골유착을 증진시킨다. 하지만 그 작용이 미치는 범위는 극히 제한되어 있기 때문에 골조직과의 거리가 있는 경우에는 효과가 미미하다. 마이크론 단위의 표면과는 달리 나노표면은 광촉매효과로 인한 항균작용을 가지지만 지속시간이 짧아 실제 임상에서의 적용효과는 의문시 된다. 하지만 마이크론 단위의 표면거칠기가 가지는 단점을 배제할 수 있어 다양한 가능성을 가지기 때문에 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.
