Ethanol is considered as one of the most suitable substitutes for the petroleum, since it offers attractive functional features at an economical cost. Glucoamylase producing yeasts were isolated and characterized. Based on the morphological character, carbon fermentations, assimilation of carbon and nitrate, growth on vitamine-free medicine, and urease activity, five isolates of Saccharomyces diastaticus, two isolates of Saccharomycopsis fibuligera, and two of Schwanniomyces occidentalis, and each isolate of Ambrosiozyma monospora and Lipomyces kononenkoae were identified. Among 12 isolates, one of the S. diastaticus, E3 showed the highest activity of glucoamylase and identified as Saccharomyces diastaticus. The hydrolysis of starch by the E3 strain showed the release of considerable amount of reducing sugar, along with the reduction in iodine staining capacity. The product of action of glucoamylase, glucose was determined by thin-layer chromatography. The enzyme activity was found to be stable in broad pH range of $5.0{\sim}7.0$ with optimal activity at pH $5.0{\sim}6.0$. The enzyme showed optimal antivity at $50^{\circ}C{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. Soluble starch and glucose were better carbon sources for the enzyme production than xylose and glycerol. $Na^+\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ increased the glucoamylase activity, however $Hg^{2+}\;and\;Ag^{2+}$ inhibited the activity. Soluble starch was the best substrate for the enzyme activity.

축산폐수, 침출수 등의 고농도 폐수를 생물학적으로 처리할 경우 최종 방류수는 강한 색도를 띠며 고분자량의 유기물질을 다량 함유한다. 이는 생물학적으로 분해하기 어려운 유기성 복합체와 생화학적 반응에 의한 중간생성물로 색도를 띠는 천연유기물질(NOM)을 포함한다. 생물학적 처리수의 색도는 심미적인 불안감, 방류수역의 수질오염 및 공중보건상의 잠재적 위해성을 갖는다. 또한, 수자원 이용측면에서 정수처리공정에서의 약품투입량 증가와 특히, 소독부산물 생성이라는 잠재적 문제점이 뒤따른다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위한 생물학적 2차 처리수의 후속처리가 요구되며, 실제로 난분해성 유기물과 색도를 제거하기 위한 흡착, 막 분리, 고급산화(AOP) 및 화학적 응집 등의 물리-화학적 공정에 대한 연구가 수행되어왔다. 특히, 화학적 응집은 무기응집제 또는 고분자중합체(Polymer)를 이용하여 콜로이드성 입자와 색도를 띠는 난분해성 유기물을 전기적 불안정화를 유도함으로서 흡착 및 응집과정을 통해 제거하는 공정으로 많은 연구자들에 의해 연구되어왔다. 그러나 난분해성 유기물과 색도제거는 대상원수의 성상과 화학적 특성 등에 따라 각각의 제거효율과 최적 운전조건이 상이하게 나타난다. 화학적 응집공정은 비교적 높은 제거효율을 보이지만, 운전 및 유지관리의 기술적 어려움, 경제적 비효율성 등으로 인하여 적용에 어려움을 겪고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 생물학적 혐기-호기성 공정에서 방류되는 축산폐수의 2차 처리수를 대상으로 화학적 응집에 의한 색도 및 난분해성 유기물의 제거거동을 고찰하였다. 대상 처리수의 $TCOD_{Cr}$ 농도는 평균 410 mg/L인 반면, $BOD_5$는 7-15 mg/L 범위로 난분해성 유기물을 다량 함유하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이에 황산알루미늄(Aluminium sulfate; $Al_2(SO_4){\cdot}14H_2O$)과 염화철(ferric chloride)의 무기응집제를 이용하여 자 테스트(jar test)를 수행한 결과, 동일한 응집제 주입량에서 염화철의 유기물 제거 효율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 황산알루미늄과 염화철의 경우 각각의 응집제 주입율 5.85mM에서 89%, 7.03mM에서 97.5%의 최대 유기물 제거효율을 보여주었으며, 이 때 최종 pH는 4.0-5.6 범위이었다. 한편, 대상 원수 내의 콜로이드성 입자 또는 용존성 유기물의 작용기(functional group)는 일반적으로 음으로 하전 되어 있어 응집에 의해 잘 제거되지 않는 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 과량의 응집제를 주입하여 다가의 양이온성 금속염을 흡착시켜 전기적으로 중화시키고, 생성된 침전성 수화물 내에 포획 또는 여과시켜 제거하게 된다. 이 때, 금속염 수화종의 전하밀도가 응집효율에 영향을 주는 것으로 알려져 있는데, 다가의 양이온은 전기적 이중층(Double layer) 압축에 의한 불안정화를 향상시킬 수 있기 때문에다. 또한, 2가 금속염은 색도유발물질과 흡착하여 humate 또는 fulvate 등의 착화합물(complex)을 형성시켜 응집효율을 향상시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생물학적 2차 처리수의 화학적 응집처리에 있어서 알루미늄염 등의 다가이온 첨가가 응집에 미치는 영향을 관찰하고, 후속되는 플록형성 및 침전공정에 의한 제거효율을 비교, 평가함으로써 2차 처리수로부터 난분해성 유기물과 색도를 보다 효과적이고 경제적으로 제거할 수 있는 최적인자를 도출하고자 하였다.

Brown rice contains a variety of nutritional and bio-functional components compared to milled rice. However, low consumer preference for steamed brown rice and short shelf life has been implicated as deterrents to the direct consumption of brown rice. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of degree of milling (DOM) on pasting and aging properties of brown rice cultivar. Short-grain (Japonica type) brown rice cv. Boseogchal (BSC), Baegjinju (BJJ), and Hiami (HIAM) were evaluated every month during 4 months storage. Rice cultivar were categorized into waxy (BSC), medium-waxy (BJJ), and non-waxy (HIAM) of which amylose contents were 6.81%, 10.06%, and 16.69~16.72%, respectively. Peak viscosity was the highest in BJJ followed by HIAM, and BSC, showing peak viscosity was lower at low temperature storage. At storage at room temperature from 60 to 120 days, the FFA content significantly increased in the rice samples with DOM1% followed by 3% and 5%, while not significant increase in DOM0% brown rice: at 120 days, the FFA ranged in 28.35~41.48, 111.99~130.06, 76.87~91.99, and 47.13~62.37 mg KOH/100g for DOM 0%, 1%, 3% and 5%, respectively. It indicated that the fat rancidity was the least in the order of DOM 0%, 5%, 3% and 1%. Storage at low temperature could reduce fat hydrolysis with lower FFA release, but rice grain with 1% MD also released more FFA compared to the other samples. It could be assumed that the most outer bran layer, approximately 1~3%, could provide a strong protection from fat rancidity. Pasting viscosity of rice samples also increased with increasing DOM rate. Results indicated that DOM was the most significant factor for lipid rancidity during storage, resulting in high FFA formation. It suggested that brown rice with DOM 0% and/or more than DOM 5% could provide the best shelf life.

We have developed a compact desktop-sized nanopatterning system driven by the Roll-to-Roll (R2R) nanoimprinting (NIL) principle. The system realizes the continuous and high-speed stamping of various nanoscale patterns on a large-area flexible substrate without resorting to ponderous and complicated instruments. We first lay out the process principle based on continuous NIL on a UV-curable resin layer using a flexible nanopatterned mold. We then create conceptual and specific designs for the system by focusing on two key processes, imprinting and UV curing, which are performed in a continuous R2R fashion. We build a system with essential components and optimized modules for imprinting, UV curing, and R2R conveying to enable simple but effective nanopatterning within the desktop volume. Finally, we demonstrate several nanopatterning results such as nanolines and nanodots, which are obtained by operating the built desktop R2R NIL system on transparent and flexible substrates. Our system may be further utilized in the scalable fabrication of diverse flexible nanopatterns for many functional applications in optics, photonics, sensors, and energy harvesters.

To confirm the possibility of seaweed extracts for functional food, water or ethyl alcohol solubles were extracted from laver, Porphyra yezoensis and evaluated those food components such as proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, taurine, pigments and browning extent. The amount of proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids extracted decreased with increasing ethyl alcohol concentration, which was maximal when water was used as extraction solvent. The extractability of proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids was different between the dried and the roasted laver. Taurine was extracted about 1% from the dried and the roasted laver in the range of o~7o% ethyl alcohol concentration. The amount of carotenoids extracted by 95% ethyl alcohol from the dried and the roasted laver were 146.6 and 138.4mg%, respectively, which was 66 ~ 80% of yield extracted by methanol/acetone(1/1) solvent. The browning value of 50 ~6o% ethyl alcohol extraction group from roasted laver was highest among water/ethyl alcohol extraction group. The extraction yield was maximum when laver was extracted with water, and the value was 26.3% for the dried laver and 27.5% for the roasted layer. Organoleptic characteristics from four kinds of extraction groups containing hot water extraction showed that extracts from the roasted laver were evaluated most eminent and thought to be applicable to various preparation of food.

To evaluate a potential possibility of Eucommia ulmoides Oliver as a functional food, ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitory activities of leaf, bark, stem and 4 compounds isolated from E. ulmoides were tested. The 4 compounds were isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, thin layer chromatography and reverse phase column chromatography. Compound I was pinoresinol-4,4'di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucoside (PG) and compound II was dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 4,${\gamma}$'-di-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (DAG) originating from Eucommial Cortex. The highest amount of PC was present at raw and roasted bark as 135.13 mg% and 163.67 mg%, and the highest amount of DAG was present at raw and roasted leaf as 117.93 mg% and 133.93 mg% respectively. In an ACE inhibition test, 10 mg/ml of roasted leaf, raw and roasted bark extracts of E. ulmoides Oliver were 77.49%, 75.72% and 75.36% respectively, and 10mg/ml of PC and DAG were shown to be 78.51 and 81.20% respectively. $IC_{50}$ values of PG and DAG were 0.6${\pm}$0.2 and 0.5${\pm}$0.2 mg/ml respectively.

단일 셀에서 비휘발성 및 고속의 휘발성 메모리를 모두 구동할 수 있는 다기능 메모리는 모바일 기기 및 embedded 장치의 폭발적인 성장에 있어 그 중요성이 커지고 있다. 따라서 최근 이러한 fusion기술을 응용한 unified RAM (URAM)과 같은 다기능 메모리의 연구가 주목 받고 있다. 이러한 다목적 메모리는 주로 silicon on insulator (SOI)기반의 1T-DRAM과 SONOS기술 기반의 비휘발성 메모리의 조합으로 이루어진다. 하지만 이런 다기능 메모리는 주로 단결정기반의 SOI wafer 위에서 구현되기 때문에 값이 비싸고 사용범위도 제한되어 있다. 따라서 이러한 다기능메모리를 다결정 실리콘을 이용하여 제작한다면 기판에 자유롭게 메모리 적용이 가능하고 추후 3차원 적층형 소자의 구현도 가능하기 때문에 다결정실리콘 기반의 메모리 구현은 필수적이라고 할 수 있겠다. 본 연구에서는 다결정실리콘을 이용한 channel recessed구조의 다기능메모리를 제작하였으며 각 1T-DRAM 및 NVM동작에 따른 memory 특성을 살펴보았다. 실험에 사용된 기판은 상부 비정질실리콘 100 nm, 매몰산화층 200 nm의 SOI구조의 기판을 이용하였으며 고상결정화 방법을 이용하여 $600^{\circ}C$ 24시간 열처리를 통해 결정화 시켰다. N+ poly Si을 이용하여 source/drain을 제작하였으며 RIE시스템을 이용하여 recessed channel을 형성하였다. 상부 ONO게이트 절연막은 rf sputter를 이용하여 각각 5/10/5 nm 증착하였다. $950^{\circ}C$ N2/O2 분위기에서 30초간 급속열처리를 진행하여 source/drain을 활성화 하였다. 계면상태 개선을 위해 $450^{\circ}C$ 2% H2/N2 분위기에서 30분간 열처리를 진행하였다. 제작된 Poly Si MFM에서 2.3V, 350mV/dec의 문턱전압과 subthreshold swing을 확인할 수 있었다. Nonvolatile memory mode는 FN tunneling, high-speed 1T-DRAM mode에서는 impact ionization을 이용하여 쓰기/소거 작업을 실시하였다. NVM 모드의 경우 약 2V의 memory window를 확보할 수 있었으며 $85^{\circ}C$에서의 retention 측정시에도 10년 후 약 0.9V의 memory window를 확보할 수 있었다. 1T-DRAM 모드의 경우에는 약 $30{\mu}s$의 retention과 $5{\mu}A$의 sensing margin을 확보할 수 있었다. 차후 engineered tunnel barrier기술이나 엑시머레이저를 이용한 결정화 방법을 적용한다면 device의 특성향상을 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 본 논문에서는 다결정실리콘을 이용한 다기능메모리를 제작 및 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. 제작된 소자의 단일 셀 내에서 NVM동작과 1T-DRAM동작이 모두 가능한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 다결정실리콘의 특성상 단결정 SOI기반의 다기능 메모리에 비해 낮은 특성을 보여주었으나 이는 결정화방법, high-k절연막 적용 및 engineered tunnel barrier를 적용함으로써 해결 가능하다고 생각된다. 또한 sputter를 이용하여 저온증착된 O/N/O layer에서의 P/E특성을 확인함으로써 glass위에서의 MFM구현의 가능성도 확인할 수 있었으며, 차후 system on panel (SOP)적용도 가능할 것이라고 생각된다.

The stress of PSG (Phosphosilicate glass), USG (Undoped-silicate grass) and SiN films, which are mainly used as passivation layers in semiconductor memory devices, deposited by CVD methods has been studied as a function of film thickness and holding time in air. The stress of the PSG film or the USG film is increased in tensile state with increasing film thickness. On the other hand the stress level of the SiN film in compressive stress does not change as film thickness changes. The stress of PSG film shows the drastic change from the tensile stress to the compressive stress after the film is left 2 days in air. FTIR spectra indicated that the stress variation was due to the penetration of water molecule. It looks possible to recover the stress of about $2.5{\times}{10^9}dyne/cm^2$ by annealing treatment at $300^{\circ}C$ for 20min. The total stress of multi-layered films having the PSG film is determined mainly by the stress variation of PSG layer with holding time. The total stress of multi-layered film appears to have a functional relationship with the stress in the thickness of each film. The resistance against stress-migration of sputtered Al line increases with increasing the tensile stress for the PSG film or the USG film.

The present experiments were carried out to elucidate the effects of hypophysectomy and subsequent administration of sex hormone on thyroid, adrenal gland, gonads and blood plasma components in the rat. The jresults obtained were summarized as follows: The weight of the thyroid gland of both male and female hypophysectiomzed rats decreased markedly from 7 days up to 56 days after the hypophysectomy as compared to the control group. The administration of sex hormone (6 mg of testosterone propionate to male and 6 mg of hexestrol to female) to the hypophysectomized rat gave on effect on the change in the weight of the thyroid gland. The hopophysectomy decreased the uptake of radioactive iodine in the thyroid gland in both male and female rats with time. Subsequent administration of the sex hormone caused no effect. With regard to the histological changes of the thyroid gland, the hypophysectomy caused significant changes in the gland showing a remarkable degeneration. The function of the gland seemed to disa, pp.ar almost completely on 56th day after the hypophysectomy. Upon the administration of sex hormone after the hypophysectomy, however. the epithelia of the follicle which has changed to flat from has partly returned to its functional cubicfrom and nuclei recovered as nearly as normal. These recovery were more remarkable in the female than in the male. The hypophysectomy kept causing a significant decrease in the weight of the adrenal gland in male and female rats during the period of observation (up to 56 days) as in the case of thyroid gland. The administration of sex hormone has on effect in this respect either. The hypophysectomy also caused a marked morphological change in the gland: zona fasciculata and zona reticularis were dicreased in size quichly after the hypophysectomy. The administraton of the sex hormone to the hypophysectomized rat resulted in clear distinction among the three layers of the adrenal cortex which otherwise very diffused. In the male, this phenomenum was more remarkable than in the female and the pattern of the cell arrangements and the thickening of each layer became similar to those of normal rats. The gonads of both sexes have also kept decreasing in the weight and degenerated in morpohology after the hypophysectomy. However, the degenerate follicle became enlarged after the administration of hexestrol in the female. Furthermore, the vacuoles found in interstitial cells of hypophysectomized rat disa, pp.ared after the administration of testosterone in the male and the formation of spermatocytes seemed to be recovered. Hypophysectomy also caused a gradual increase in the contents of total protein, non-protein nitrogen, total lipid, cholesterol and calcium in the blood plasma with time. The concentrations of sodium, potassium and chloride in the blood did not change after the hypophysectomy. Sex hormone caused practically no change in above tendency.
