The process parameter in optimized KOH alkali activation of soft carbon series coke material in high purity was set with DOE experiments design. The activated carbon was produced by performing the activation process based on the set process parameters. The specific surface area was measured and pore size was analyzed by $N_2$ absorption method for the produced activated carbon. The surface functional group was analyzed by Boehm method and metal impurities were analyzed by XRF method. The specific surface area was increased over 2,000 $m^2/g$ as the mixing ratio of activation agent increased. The micro pores in $5{\sim}15{\AA}$ and surface functional group under 0.4 meq/g were obtained. The contents of the metal impurity in activated carbon which is the factor for reducing the electrochemical characteristics was reduced less than 100 ppm through the cleansing process optimization. The electrochemical characteristics of activated carbon in 38.5 F/g and 26.6 F/cc were checked through the impedance measuring with cyclic voltammetry scan rate in 50~300 mV/s and frequency in 10 mHz ~100 kHz. The activated carbon was made in the optimized activation process conditions of activation time in 40 minutes, mixing ratio of activation agent in 4.5 : 1.0 and heat treatment temperature over $650^{\circ}C$.

항암제 내성을 획득한 암세포는 많은 경우 다양한 세포 독성 물질에 대해 교차 내성을 나타낸다. 그러나 온열 치료가 내성 획득 종양에 적용 될 때의 종양 세포의 사멸 효과는 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구는 시스플라틴에 내성을 갖는 위암 세포 주, SNU601/Cis2이 열충격에 반응하는 민감도와 세포 사멸 방식을 조사함으로써 약물 내성 종양의 온열 치료 효과를 예측하고자 하였다. 정상 위암 세포 주 SNU601/WT은 열충격에 매우 민감하게 반응하며 apoptosis로 사멸하지만, 내성 위암 세포 주 SNU601/Cis2는 미열충격에 내성을 나타내었으며 고열충격에 노출되자 necrosis로 사멸하였다. 또한 SNU601/Cis2에서 necrosis의 발생은 열충격에 의한 JNK1/2의 활성화와 HSP27의 발현저하 현상과 관련되어 있었다. Necrosis의 유도는 세포막 파괴에 의해 세포 내부 물질의 방출로 인한 주변 조직의 염증반응을 수반하는데, 이러한 염증 반응은 암의 성장을 촉진하고 암의 성상을 심화시키는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 이러한 관점에서, 온열 치료가 약물 치료와 병행 될 경우에는 교차 내성과 necrosis로 인한 역효과를 방지하기 위하여, 그 적용이 주의 깊게 이루어져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The austenite grain growth model in low alloyed steel HAZ without precipitates was proposed by analyzing isothermal grain growth behavior. Steels used in this study were designed to investigate the effect of alloying elements. Meanwhile, a systematic procedure was proposed to prevent inappropriate neglect of initial grain size (D0) and misreading both time exponent and activation energy for isothermal grain growth. It was found that the time exponent was almost constant, irrespectively of temperature and alloying elements, and activation energy increased with the addition of alloying elements. From quantification of the effect of alloying elements on the activation energy, an isothermal grain growth model was presented. Finally, combining with the additivity rule, the austenite grain size in the CGHAZ was predicted.

The transition metal cadmium is a serious occupational and environmental toxin. To inhibit cadmium-induced damage, cells respond by increasing the expression of genes that encode stress-responsive proteins. The metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 (MTF-1) is a key regulator of heavy-metal induced transcription of metallothionein-I and II and other genes in mammals and other metazoans. Transcriptional activation of genes by MTF-1 is mediated through binding to metal-responsive elements in the target gene promoters. Phosphorylation of MTF-1 plays a critical role in the cadmium-inducible transcriptional activation of metallothionein and other responses. Studies using inhibitors indicate that multiple kinases and signal transduction cascades, including those mediated by protein kinase C, tyrosine kinase and casein kinase II, are essential for cadmium-mediated transcriptional activation. In addition, calcium signaling is also involved in regulating metal-activated transcription. In several species, cadmium induces heat shock genes. Recently much progress has been made in elucidating the cellular machinery that regulates this metal-inducible gene expression. This review summarizes these recent advances in understanding the role of some known cadmium-responsive genes and the molecular mechanisms that activate metal-responsive transcription factor, MTF-1.

Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) technique had been adapted to the Mg alloy (AZ31) for achieving effective grain refinement through severe deformation. The average grain size of $2.5{\mu}m$ could be obtained after 4 passes. The stability of the ECAPed structure at elevated temperatures was examined by annealing the ECAPed materials over a wide range of temperature between 473 and 748 K. The average activation energy, Q, for static grain growth of 1, 2 and 3 passes was 33.7 kJ/mole (=0.25QL, activation for lattice diffusion). The abnormally low Q value in the lower temperature range may indicate that grain growth occurs in the unrecrystallized microstructure where non-equilibrium grain boundaries containing a large number of extrinsic dislocations exist. The yield stresses of the ECAPed alloys decreased whereas the elongations increased after the ECAP process. These results should be related to the modification of texture for easier slip on basal plane.

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of microstructure control on hydrogen diffusivity, trap activation energy, and cracking behaviors of high-strength steel using a range of experimental techniques. Results of this study showed that susceptibility to hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) was significantly associated with hydrogen diffusivity and trap activation energy, which were primarily influenced by the microstructure. On the other hand, microstructural modifications had no significant impact on electrochemical polarization behavior on the surface at an early corrosion stage. To ensure high resistance to HIC of the steel, it is recommended to increase the cooling rate during normalizing to avoid formation of banded pearlite in the microstructure. However, it is also essential to establish optimal heat treatment conditions to ensure that proportions of bainite, retained austenite (RA), and martensite-austenite (MA) constituents are not too high. Additionally, post-heat treatment at below A₁ temperature is desired to decompose locally distributed RA and MA constituents.

PVDC-resin transforms into porous carbon through the removal of heteroatoms during heat treatment. When PVDC-resin mixed with chemical agent undergoes heat treatment, it transforms into porous carbon with a significant surface area. In this study, we aim to produce porous carbon using PVDC-resin as a precursor by mixing it with an inexpensive CuO agent in various ratios (1:1, 1:2) and varying the process temperatures (750℃, 950℃). To utilize the developed porous carbon as electrode for supercapacitors, this study explored the formation of micropores and mesopores during the activation process. The porous characteristics and specific surface area of the synthesized porous carbon were estimated using N₂ isotherm. The specific capacitance and rate capability required for supercapacitor electrodes were evaluated through cyclic voltammetry. Experimental results demonstrated that when the precursor and agent were mixed in a 1:2 ratio, a high surface areal carbon with numerous micropores and mesopores was obtained. When the activation was performed at 950℃, no impurities remained from the agent, resulting in high rate performance. The porous carbon synthesized using PVDC-resin and CuO demonstrated high specific surface area and excellent rate capability, indicating its potential as an electrode material for supercapacitors.

In order to study the interfacial reaction between Nb thin sheet and Fe-C-(Si) alloy with different Chemical compositions, they were cast-bonded. The growth of carbide layer formed at the interface after isothermal heat treatment at 1173K, 1223K, 1273K and 1323K for various times was investigated. The carbide formed at the interface was NbC and the thickness of NbC layer was increased linearly in proportional to the heat treating time. Therefore, It was found that the growth of NbC layer was controlled by the interfacial reaction. The growth rate constant of NbC layer was slightly increased with increase of carbon content when the silicon content is similar in the cast irons. However, as silicon content increases with no great difference in carbon content, the growth of NbC layer was greatly retarded. The calculated activation energy for the growth of NbC layer was varied in the range of 447.4~549.3 kJ/moI with the compositions of cast irons.

본 연구에서는 1-D 해석 프로그램인 AMESim을 활용하여 열전소자와 디젤엔진을 모델링하여 이를 New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) 운전모드에서 구동시킨 자동차에서 나오는 폐열을 이용해 열전소자로 발전을 하고 이에 따른 결과를 분석해보는 연구를 수행하였다. 열전소자 모델링 시 배기폐열 회수율 및 전기 에너지 변환률 뿐만 아니라 재료적 특성을 고려하여 열전달부분에 초점을 맞추었다. 또한, 디젤 산화 촉매(DOC)를 설계하여 열전소자로 인한 폐열회수가 디젤 산화촉매 활성화에 미치는 영향과, 그 결과 배기가스의 성분별 증감을 조사하였다. 열전소자를 이용한 폐열회수는 자동차 연비개선에 도움이 되지만, 배기가스의 온도를 떨어뜨려 촉매 활성화에 영향을 미치게 되면, CO와 HC 배출이 최대 14% 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 따라서, 열전소자를 이용한 배기 폐열 회수 시스템 개발 시에 배기에 미치는 영향을 고려해야 한다.

the effect of heat treatment in oxygen ambient on the nucleation and growth of oxidation induced stacking faults(OSF) in n-type(100)silicon wafer has been investigated. The growth of OSF is determind as a function of oxygen concentration in silicon wafer, heat treatment time and temperature, and the activation energy for the growth of OSF can be obtained from the growth kinetics. The activation energies are respectively 2.66 eV for dry oxidation and 2.37 eV for wet oxidation. In this paper, we have also studied the structural feature of OSF with the comparison of optical microscopic morphology and crystalline structure.
