Radioisotope (Nuclear) battery using $^{63}Ni$ was prepared as beta cell. The electroplated $^{63}Ni$ on Ni foil is fabricated, and beta cell and photovoltaic hybrid battery was designed to use at both day and night in space project. A Ni-plating solution is prepared by dissolving metal particles including $^{62}Ni$ and $^{63}Ni$ from neutron irradiation of ($n,{\gamma}$). Electroplating solution of a chloride bath consists on nickel ions in HCl, $H_3BO_3$, and KOH. The deposition was carried out at current density of $10mA\;cm^{-2}$. The prepared beta source was attached on a PN junction and measured I-V properties. The power output at activity of 0.07 mCi and 0.45 mCi were 0.55 pW and 2.69 nW, respectively.

In the present study we evaluated the efficacy of a bioformulation of Streptomyces cameroonensis for control of black pod disease in cocoa and enhancement of seedling growth. The formulation developed using talc powder and cassava starch as carriers showed high shelf-life of 1.07 × 10⁶ CFU/g after six months storage at 4℃. The formulation was tested for inhibition of spore germination in Phytophthora megakarya and showed 100% inhibition at 10% (w/v) of formulation. To determine the efficacy of the formulation, we performed an in planta assay in the greenhouse on two hybrids of cocoa seedlings, the tolerant SNK413 × (♂) T79/467 and the susceptible UPA 134× (♂) SCA 12. Detached leaf assay showed a significant reduction in the disease severity index of about 67% for the tolerant hybrid and 55% for the susceptible hybrid compared to non-treated plants. A significant enhancement in stem length, leaf surface area and root weight was observed. Analysis of biochemical markers of defense showed a significant increase in total polyphenol, flavonoid, and total protein contents. There was also significant upregulation of PR-proteins such as chitinases, peroxidases and β-1, 3-glucanases following treatment of both tolerant and susceptible hybrids, though with a higher level of synthesis in the tolerant hybrids. A significant increase was also observed in polyphenol oxidase activities in plants treated with the formulation. This work demonstrated the stability and effectiveness of the S. cameroonensis powder formulation in suppressing black pod disease in cocoa and subsequently enhancing the growth of seedlings.

HDDR treated anisotropic Nd-Fe-B powders have been widely used, due to their excellent magnetic properties, especially for sheet motors and sunroof motors of hybrid and electric vehicles. Final microstructure and coercivity of such Nd-Fe-B powders depend on the state of starting mother alloys, so additional homogenization treatment is required for improving magnetic properties of them. In this study, a homogenization treatment was performed at $900\sim1140^{\circ}C$ in order to control the grain size and Nd-rich phase distribution, and at the same time to improve coercivity of the HDDR treated magnetic powders. FE-SEM was used for observing grain size of the HDDR treated powder and EPMA was employed to observe distribution of Nd-rich phase. Magnetic properties were analyzed with a vibrating sample magnetometer.

HDDR treated anisotropic Nd-Fe-B powders have been widely used for the sheet motors and the sunroof motors of hybrid or electric vehicles, due to their excellent magnetic properties. Microstructural alignment of HDDR treated powders are mostly depending on the hydrogen reaction in disproportionation step, so the specific method to control hydrogenation reaction is required for improving magnetic properties. In disproportionation step, hydrogenation pressure and reaction time were controlled in the range of 0.15~1.0 atm for 15~180 min in order to control the micorstructural alignment of $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ phase and, at the same time, to improve remanence of HDDR treated magnet powders. In this study, we could obtain a well aligned anisotropic Nd-Fe-B-Ga-Nb alloy powder having high remanence of 12 kG by reducing hydrogen pressure down to 0.3 atm in disproportionation step.

Functionally gradient material (FGM) is promisingly effective in mitigating the thermal stress between plasma facing materials (PFM) and structural materials. However, the corresponding research with respect to W/V FGM has not been reported yet. In this work, we firstly report the successful fabrication of W/V FGM by a combined technology of mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microhardness and microstructure of the consolidated sample were both investigated. W/V stacks show significantly enhanced microhardness (>100%) compared with pure W plate, which is beneficial to the integral strength of the hybrid structure. Furthermore, we clarify that the different ductility of W and V should be carefully considered, otherwise W/V powder might aggregate and lead to the formation of compositional segregation, and simultaneously unmask the impact of V proportion on the distribution of second phase in W-V binary alloy system. This work provides an innovative approach for obtaining W-V connections with much better performance.

With the development of modern microelectronics technologies, the power density of electronic devices is rapidly increasing, due to the miniaturization or integration of device elements which operate at high frequency, high power conditions. Resulting thermal problems are known to cause power leakage, device failure and deteriorated performance. To relieve heat accumulation at the interface between chips and heat sinks, thermal interface materials (TIMs) must provide efficient heat transport in the through-plane direction. We report on the enhanced thermal conduction of $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, fabricated by the surface wetting and texturing of thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) nanoplatelets with large anisotropy in morphology and physical properties. The thermally conductive polymer composites were prepared with hybrid fillers of $Al_2O_3$ macro beads and surface modified h-BN nanoplatelets. Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has high thermal conductivity and is one of the most suitable materials for thermally conductive polymer composites, which protect electronic devices by efficient heat dissipation. In this study, we synthesized hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles by the pyrolysis of cost effective precursors, boric acid and melamine. Through pyrolysis at $900^{\circ}C$ and subsequent annealing at $1500^{\circ}C$, hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles with diameters of ca. 50nm were synthesized. We demonstrate that the addition of a small amount of calcium fluoride ($CaF_2$) during the preparation of the melamine borate adduct significantly enhanced the crystallinity of the h-BN and assisted the growth of nanoplatelets up to 100nm in diameters. The addition of a small amount of h-BN enhanced the thermal conductivity of the $Al_2O_3-based$ polymer composites, from 1.45W/mK to 2.33 W/mK.

화장품에서 유기 화합물인 OMC(octyl methoxy cinnamate)와 무기 소재인 TiO$_2$가 자외선 차단제로 가장 보편적으로 사용되고 있다. 그러나 OMC는 skin trouble이 있고, TiO$_2$는 첨가량에 비해서 자외선 차단 효율이 OMC보다 낮고 입자의 크기효과에 의해 백탁 현상이 나타나는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 두 성분이 갖는 단점을 보완하는 방법으로 OMC를 나노에멀젼시키고, 이 나노에멀젼-OMC를 나노-TiO$_2$ 미립자로 포접하여 자외선 차단효과를 극대화 하면서, 피부에 OMC가 직접적으로 적용하지 못하도록 하는 방법을 연구하였다. 특히 계면활성제를 boundary로 하는 유기/무기 hybrid nano-material에서 TiO$_2$ 미립자와 OMC-에멀젼이 나노 크기가 되면 백탁 현상이 나타나지 않는 투명한 화장품을 제조할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 나노-에멀젼 OMC를 TiO$_2$로 포집하는 과정에서 hydrophilic character를 갖는 레시친으로 TiO$_2$를 안정화하여 보습성을 더욱 향상시켰다. 합성한 inorganic-organic hybrid nano-material는 TEM을 이용하여 나노 미립자의 morphologies를 규명하였고, UV-Visible spectrometer를 이용하여 자외선 흡수를 측정하였다. 또한 X-ray diffractometer를 이용하여 나노-에멀젼 OMC를 포집하고 있는 TiO$_2$ 미립자가 갖는 특성인 pore의 크기와 구조를 측정하였다. 화장품적인 응용으로서 SPF analyzer 측정결과 기존의 powder-OMC에 비하여 우수한 자외선 차단 효과를 나타내었으며, OMC의 피부 침투도 훨씬 줄일 수 있어 OMC의 피부 부작용을 크게 줄일 수 있을 것이다.>$\pm$0.06 $\mu$g/g 범위였다. 4. 날결명자 분말첨가군 각 조직에 축적된 카드뮴 함량이 제일 낮았던 C4를 Cl과 비교한 결과 뇌, 심장, 비장, 간, 폐, 고환, 신장, 대퇴부근육, 다리뼈에 각각 49.03, 22.56, 36.02, 35.75, 41.75, 36.20, 37.00, 22.77, 56.67 %의 감소를 보였으며, 각 장기의 함량은 뇌<다리뼈<대퇴부 근육<고환<폐<심장<비장<신장<간 순 이었다. 5. 카드뮴 총 섭취량으로 장기 및 조직의 카드뮴 평균함량에 대한 축적율은 카드뮴만 섭취한 군(Cl) 의 경우 7.14%이었으며, 결명자 분말 첨가군인 C2, C3, C4군의 경우 각각 4.91, 4.81, 4.50 %이었다. 6. 체모의 카드뮴 함량은 Cl군이 가장 높았고, 결명자 첨가군들의 카드뮴 함량은 6주째까지 모든 시험군에서 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 6주 이후에는 감소되는 경향을 보였다. 7. 분변 중 카드뮴 함량은 C4군이 가장 높았고, 결명자 첨가군들의 카드뮴 함량은 C3군과 C4군을 제외한 나머지 군들에서 완만하게 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 6주째에 카드뮴 함량이 감소되는 경향을 보였다가 6주 이후에 다시 카드뮴 함량이 증가하는 경향이었다.erefore the guidelines for iron supplementation and nutritional education to improve their iron status should be provided.한 질소제거를 N-balance로부터 구해보면, R3 반응조의 경우가 가장 높은 제거율(40.9%)을 보였다. 이상의 결과들을 볼 때, Bncillus 균주는 호기적 탈질을 일으킬 수 있는 가능성이 있고, Bncillus 균주를 이용한 B3 공정은 탈질에 이용되는 탄소량이 거의 없고, 적은 alkalinity 소모에 의한 경제적 이익 등 장점을 가진 공정으로 보여 진다.수록 푹신한 감이 있는
