The chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is widely used in semiconductor manufacturing process for planarization of various materials and structures. Point-of-use (POU) filters are used in most of the CMP processes in order to reduce the unwanted micro-scratches which may result in defects. The performance of the POU filter is depends on type and size of the abrasives used during cleaning process. For this reason, there is a need to evaluate POU filters for their filtration efficiency (FE) with different types of abrasives. In this study, we developed filter test system to evaluate the FE of POU using ceria and silica abrasives (slurry). The POU filter is roll type capsule filter with retention size of 0.2 ${\mu}m$. Two POU filters of different make are evaluated for FE. We observed that both POU filters show similar filtration efficiency for silica and ceria slurry. Results reveal that the ceria slurry and the colloidal silica particle are removed not only by mechanical way but also hydrodynamic and electrostatic interaction way.

The permeate flux decline due to membrane fouling can be addressed using a variety of theoretical stand-points. Judicious selection of an appropriate theory is a key toward successful prediction of the permeate flux. The essential criterion f3r such a decision appears to be a detailed characterization of the feed solution and membrane properties. Modem theories are capable of accurately predicting several properties of colloidal systems that are important in membrane separation processes from fundamental information pertaining to the particle size, charge, and solution ionic strength. Based on such information, it is relatively straight-forward to determine the properties of the concentrated colloidal dispersion in a polarized layer or the cake layer properties. Incorporation of such information in the framework of the standard theories of membrane filtration, namely, the convective diffusion equation coupled with an appropriate permeate transport model, can lead to reasonably accurate prediction of the permeate flux due to colloidal fouling. The schematic of the essential approach has been delineated in Figure 5. The modern approaches based on appropriate cell models appear to predict the permeate flux behavior in crossflow membrane filtration processes quite accurately without invoking novel theoretical descriptions of particle back transport mechanisms or depending on adjust-able parameters. Such agreements have been observed for a wide range of particle size ranging from small proteins like BSA (diameter ${\~}$6 nm) to latex suspensions (diameter ${\~}1\;{\mu}m$). There we, however, several areas that need further exploration. Some of these include: 1) A clear mechanistic description of the cake formation mechanisms that clearly identifies the disorder to order transition point in different colloidal systems. 2) Determining the structure of a cake layer based on the interparticle and hydrodynamic interactions instead of assuming a fixed geometrical structure on the basis of cell models. 3) Performing well controlled experiments where the cake deposition mechanism can be observed for small colloidal particles (< $1\;{\mu}m$). 4) A clear mechanistic description of the critical operating conditions (for instance, critical pressure) which can minimize the propensity of colloidal membrane fluting. 5) Developing theoretical approaches to account for polydisperse systems that can render the models capable of handing realistic feed solutions typically encountered in diverse applications of membrane filtration.

Citrate ion is a commonly used reductant in metal colloid synthesis, undergoes strong surface interaction with silver nanocrystallites. The slow crystal growth observed as a result of the interaction between the silver surface and the citrate ion makes this reduction process unique compared to other chemical and radiolytic synthetic methods. The antimicrobial effects of silver (Ag) ion or salts are well known, but the effects of citrate coated Ag nanoparticles (CAgNPs) are scant. Herein, we have isolated biofilm causative bacteria and fungi from drinking water PVC pipe lines. Stable CAgNPs were prepared and the formation of CAgNPs was confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopic analysis and recorded the localized surface plasmon resonance of CAgNPs at 430 nm. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis revealed C=O and O-H bending vibrations due to organic capping of silver responsible for the reduction and stabilization of the CAgNPs. X-ray diffraction micrograph indicated the face centered cubic structure of the formed CAgNPs, and morphological studies including size (average size 50 nm) were carried out using transmission electron microscopy. The hydrodynamic diameter (60.7 nm) and zeta potential (-27.6 mV) were measured using the dynamic light scattering technique. The antimicrobial activity of CAgNPs was evaluated (in vitro) against the isolated fungi, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria using disc diffusion method and results revealed that CAgNPs with 170ppm concentration are having significant antimicrobial effects against an array of microbes tested.

Recently, there have been reports of severe symptoms of wear in bearings due to foreign substances mixed in lubricants. Therefore, studying the effects of foreign substances (such as combustion products and metallic debris) on the wear characteristics of journal bearings and proposing appropriate management standards for lubricant cleanliness have become necessary. Studies on the effect of particle size and concentration of foreign substances on surface damage have actively progressed in the recent times. These studies indicate the possibility of foreign substances causing direct wear of bearing surfaces. However, experiments conducted until now involve only basic tests such as the Pin-on-Disk test instead of those involving real bearing systems. This study experimentally examines the damage to the surface of a journal bearing due to foreign substances (combustion products and alumina) mixed with the lubricant, as well as the effect of the type and size of particles on its wear characteristics. The study uses an experimental journal bearing similar to a real bearing system for conducting the lubrication test. Hydrodynamic Lubrication (HL) numerical analysis, experiment results, and film parameters are used for calculating the operating conditions required for achieving the desired film thickness, and the results of the analysis are modified for considering the surface roughness. The run-time of the experiment is 10 min including the stabilization process. The experiment results show that alumina particles larger than the minimum film thickness cause significant surface damage.

Recently, universities of fisheries and institutions related to fisheries are actively carrying out a project to build new fisheries training ships. These new fisheries training ships are significantly larger in size and longer in length than the previous ships. In addition, these new ships basically have space that can accommodate more than 100 crew and passenger. On the other hand, they are excluded from IMO maneuverability evaluation since the size of these ships are still less than 100 m in length (LBP). These results have had an impact on the study of maneuverability of fishing vessels including the fisheries training ships. Against these backgrounds, the authors conducted a study to estimate the maneuvering characteristics of fisheries training ship Baek-Kyung according to depth in order to prepare a maneuvering characteristic index that enables the large fisheries training ships to navigate more safely using a modified empirical formula. It was confirmed that the maneuvering characteristics of Baek-Kyung changed significantly as the values of the hydrodynamic force coefficients changed as the water depth gradually decreased from around 1.5 (approx. 8 m in depth) of the ratio of the water depth to the ship draft. The results of this study will not only help navigators understand the maneuvering characteristics of Baek-Kyung, but also serve as an indicator when navigating in shallow water. In addition, the accumulation of these results will serve as a basis for future study on maneuverability of fishing vessel types.

Objectives: This study was conducted to identify factors determining the toxicity of manufactured silver nano-particles (AgNPs) on aquatic organisms. Methods: For this purpose, we prepared several AgNPs with varied characteristics, including hydrodynamic size (nano-$^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}\;vs$-sized-$^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$), impurities ($^{ABC}Ag$ stock vs $^{ABC}Ag$), and citrate capping ($^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$), using a commercially available manufactured AgNP ($^{ABC}Ag$ stock). Acute tests were conducted using larval zebrafish (Danio rerioI). In addition, in order to determine the ecotoxicological potentials of various capping agents, toxicity tests were conducted with microbes, waterfleas, and fish for eight different capping agents that are used for NPs. Results: The toxicity of AgNPs in terms of 96 h fish $LC_{50}$ increased in the following order: $^{ABC}Ag$ stock < $^{ABC}Ag=^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}=nano-^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$ < ${\mu}$-sized-$^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$ < $AgNO_3$. After removing impurities by dialysis, 96 h $LC_{50}$ value decreased significantly from $126.6{\mu}g/L$ (95% confidence intervals [CI]: 107.0-146.2) ($^{ABC}Ag$ stock) to $78.6{\mu}g/L$ (CI: 72.7-84.8) ($^{ABC}Ag$). For ${\mu}$-sized-$^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$ (ranging between 3.9 and 40.6 nm) and $^{ABC}Ag^{Cit}$ (40.6 nm and $9.1{\mu}m$), the 96 h $LC_{50}$ of the former ($43.9{\mu}g/L$, CI: 36.0-51.7) was approximately two-fold lower than that of the latter ($87.0{\mu}g/L$, CI: 73.5-100.3). Conclusions: In this study, we found that for acute lethality, the contribution of impurities and particle size was significant, but that of citrate was negligible.

본 연구는 현재 국내에서 일부 사용되는 쌍끌이 중층망어구어법에서 문제점으로 지적되고 있는 망고를 보다 크게 하는 것, 망목에 뜸이 걸리는 것, 네트드럼에 감기는 어구 부피를 줄이는 것 등의 해결방법으로 카이트(kite)의 적용을 검토한 것이다. 중층망의 모형에 카이트를 부착하여 회류수조에서 모형실험을 통하여 유속에 따른 어구의 저항 및 전개성능을 비교 조사하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 유체저항은 지수함수곡선의 모양을 보여 유속이 낮을 때는 저항의 증가폭이 작지만 유속이 클 때는 저항의 증가폭이 커지며, 카이트망의 저항이 중층망의 0.68~0.72배로 작다. 2. 망고는 지수함수곡선의 모양으로 감소하는 양상을 보이며, 유속 1.3m/sec 이하에서는 카이트망의 망고가 중층망보다 작지만 1.5m/sec 이상에서는 크며, 유속이 커질수록 그 차이도 커진다. 망폭은 유속 2.0m/sec 이하에서는 유속이 커짐에 따라서 다소 커지나 그 이상에서는 거의 같으며, 카이트망과 중층망은 거의 같다. 3. 망구모양은 모두 유속이 커짐에 따라서 납작해지는 타원형모양을 이루며, 망구면적은 유속이 커짐에 따라서 지수함수곡선의 형태로 작아진다. 여과량은 로그함수의 곡선 형태를 보이고 있는데, 유속 1.3m/sec 이하에서는 카이트망의 여과량이 중층망보다 적지만, 1.5m/sec에서는 카이트망의 여과량이 중층망보다 약 3%, 2.0m/sec에서는 약 11%, 2.5m/sec에서는 약 16% 더 많다

가로림만 조간대 표층퇴적물의 입도조직변수(평균입도, 분급도 및 왜도)를 기초로 '이차원 퇴적물 이동벡터모델'을 이용하여 퇴적물의 이동방향을 추정하였고 이에 따른 퇴적물의 이동현상을 해석하였다. 채취된 퇴적물은 각 정점마다 전체와 조립질(< 4.5 ${\phi}$)로 구분하여 각각의 퇴적물이동방향(15 경우)을 구하였고, 이 방향과 지형, 층면형태(bedform)의 정밀측정, 그리고 여러 번의 현장관찰을 기초로 결정된 퇴적물의 실제이동방향과 비교하였다. 퇴적물의 실제이동방향과 가장 일치하는 이동벡터는 조립질 퇴적물에서 퇴적물 이동방향으로 퇴적물이 세립해지고, 분급이 좋아지며 왜도가 감소하는 경우와 퇴적물이 조립해지고, 분급이 좋아지며 왜도가 증가하는 경우를 조합한 M 경우이다. 이는 조립질 퇴적물이 연구지역의 퇴적물이동에 주요 구성성분이며, 세립질(> 4.5 ${\phi}$)을 포함하는 전체 퇴적물보다 퇴적기작이 더 단순하므로 '퇴적물이동벡터모델'과 잘 부합하는 것으로 보인다. 또한 전체 퇴적물과 조립질 퇴적물 모두 퇴적물의 이동방향으로 분급도가 좋아지는 경향이 뚜렷한데, 이는 퇴적기작의 복잡성과 관계없이 연속적인 수리에너지는 퇴적물의 분급을 더 좋게 한다는 것을 증명한다. 또한 이 연구결과를 통하여 사주조간대의 조립질퇴적물의 이동은 남북방향으로 놓여 있는 만 입구 동주수로를 통하여 저조선에서 상부조간대로 이동하면서 퇴적되었고, 일부는 동주수로를 지나 남수로로 공급되어 반시계방향으로 돌며 북쪽지역으로 이동 퇴적되었음이 밝혀졌다. 조립질 퇴적물은 사주에 퇴적되지만, 일부는 북수로를 따라 썰물때 다시 만밖으로 나가는 것으로 퇴적물이동벡터모델이나 퇴적물 실제이동방향의 관찰 모두에서 증명되었다. 따라서 북수로 및 북동쪽 뻘질모래지역은 만 밖에서 운반된 부유퇴적물과 조립퇴적물이 동시에 퇴적되는 지역이며, 지역적으로 조립질과 세립질의 분리퇴적현상이 때때로 관찰되기도 하는 수리역학적 퇴적물 혼합지역이다. 사주의 육지이동과 북수로 발달현상은 조립퇴적물이 만 밖이나 만 입구 등 근원지(장안퇴를 포함한 사퇴)로부터 더 많이 유입되었거나 혹은 상대적 해수면의 상승의 결과로 보인다.
