For the first time, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was used as an easily-handled chlorine source for preparation of isotropic pitch-based carbon fiber (IPCF) incorporating ethylene bottom oil (EO) as a raw material. Pitch precursors were prepared by the chlorination-dehydrochlorination triggered by chlorine radicals originated from PVC; aromatization and poly-condensation reactions occurred by polyene-type radicals from PVC. Radical production and co-carbonization were facilitated by pretreatments of EO through vacuum distillation, bromination, and additional heat treatment. Pitches were prepared by the co-carbonization of pretreated EO and EO containing 20 wt% PVC, and had higher yields and better spinnability than those by simple distillation.

As technology rapidly develops, the demand for manpower by new industries is increasing. In order to respond to the changing demands of the workforce, universities are actively introducing interdisciplinary majors, which is a program formed by two or more departments cooperating to develop new majors. Although the importance of the interdisciplinary major is increasing, universities have difficulties managing them due to non-flexible educational systems. The purpose of this study is to present an effective management direction for interdisciplinary majors based on the results of a survey on student satisfaction with interdisciplinary majors. Also, we analyzed the required level and possessed level of the IS practitioners' competencies, and developed specific educational directions for training IS talents. The results showed that there was a significant difference in satisfaction with the curriculum development and curriculum evaluation of existing subjects provided by existing departments and new subjects established of interdisciplinary majors, specifically the satisfaction of new subjects is higher than existing subjects. In the IS field, there was a high demand for education in the following areas, in order: information security, information technology strategy planning, information technology operation, information technology development, information technology management, information technology sales, and core competencies. Based on the results of the analysis, the satisfaction of students and the cultivation of the talents that the interdisciplinary major aims to develop can be improved.

Technology is developed from the efficient interaction with other technology files while building up its own research field. This study analyzes the structure of solar cell research area and describes its paths of the technology development in terms of interdisciplinary diversity using the Co-Classification method during 1979-2009. As a results, 1,380 studies are determined as the interdisciplinary among the 2,605 studies. It shows that 52.98% of the solar cell researches have interdisciplinary relationships with two or more research fields. In addition, we show that the research area of solar cell technology is composed by Material Science, Multidisciplinary and Energy & Fuel, Physics, Applied, Chemistry, Physical from the Co-Classification matrix and network analysis. It means the complexity of the technological knowledge production increased with the concept of interdisciplinary. The results can be used for the planning of the efficient solar cell technology development.

The bioremediation potential of crude oil by Polyporus sp. S133 pre-grown in wood meal was investigated in two separate experiment trials; liquid medium and soil. The effect of three nutrients (glucose, polypeptone, and wood meal), oxygen flow, and some absorbent on the efficiency of the process was also evaluated. Degradation of crude oil in soil was significantly increased with an addition of oxygen flow and some absorbent (kapok and pulp). The highest degradation rate of crude oil was 93% in the soil with an addition of 10% kapok. The present study clearly demonstrates that, if suitably developed, Polyporus sp. S133 could be used to remediate soil contaminated with crude oil.

Background and purpose : We previously developed questionnaire of Guibi-tang symtom on the Delphi method through the pathogenesis analysis. But developed a questionnaire was not verified in the clinical. So, to ensure objectivity, quantification and validity, verification is needed for questionnaire items before applying a clinical. On this study, we looked at whether questionnaire items had been validity in the clinical. Methods : Participants of this study were outpatients in eleven clinics. The resources were collected from 200 patients. SPSS 15.0 for Windows was used for statistical analysis : reliability analysis, factor analysis were used to verify the results Results and Conclusions : 16 items were selected through reliability analysis perforfed on about 22 items. After factor analysis, we have four component. Veryfy research of the Guibi-tang Patternization Questionnaire is needed in the future. Also I think that research should proceed about a lot of people.

본 논문에서는 PC 응용을 위한 고음질의 한국어 text-to-speech(TTS) 합성 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템의 합성방식으로는 음의 고저 조절, 인접음 사이의 연결 처리 및 음색제어 등에서 기존의 PSOLA 방식에 비해 장점을 가지는 정현파 모델 기반의 방식을 채택하였고, 자연스러운 운율 모델링을 위하여 통계적 기법중의 하나인 Classification and regression tree(CART) 방법을 사용하였다. 또한 음소 경계의 불연속성 문제를 줄이기 위한 합성단위로 초성-중성 및 종성 단위를 사용하였고, 다양한 음색표현이 가능하도록 음색제어 기능을 갖추었다. 그리고, 표준 Speech Application Program Interface(SAPI)를 준용한 TTS engine 형태로 구현함으로써 PC 상에서의 응용 프로그램 개발 편의성을 높였다. 합성음의 청취평가 결과 음질의 우수성 및 음색제어 기능의 유효성을 확인할 수 있었다.

Background : Guibi-tang is one of the most common herbs in oriental medicine. Principally, this medicine heals illness from overstress. Therefore, it is frequently used in the ancient community. Because of insufficiency in data, objective judgements are difficult in remedial effects by Guibi-tang. In order to make objectivity diagnose data, this research is developed. Purpose : The aim of the research is to make questionnaire for the medicine and the objective is to sell to the public from the local clinic. Methods : The questionnaire which includes symptoms and signs for diagnose of Guibi-tang is studied by the Delphi method and average value. Results : By the Delphi method and average value, 22 Items of questionnaires are choosen for the research. Conclusions : Further research is necessary for modification of questionnaire by statistics and cerification by clinical trial. The statistics and verification by clinical trial is necessary with modification for further research.

The pepper anthracnose fungus, Colletotrichum scovillei, causes severe losses of pepper fruit production in the tropical and temperate zones. RAC1 is a highly conserved small GTP-binding protein in the Rho GT-Pase family. This protein has been demonstrated to play a role in fungal development, and pathogenicity in several plant pathogenic fungi. However, the functional roles of RAC1 are not characterized in C. scovillei causing anthracnose on pepper fruits. Here, we generated a deletion mutant (𝜟Csrac1) via homologous recombination to investigate the functional roles of CsRAC1. The 𝜟Csrac1 showed pleiotropic defects in fungal growth and developments, including vegetative growth, conidiogenesis, conidial germination and appressorium formation, compared to wild-type. Although 𝜟Csrac1 was able to develop appressoria, it failed to differentiate appressorium pegs. However, 𝜟Csrac1 still caused anthracnose disease with significantly reduced rate on wounded pepper fruits. Further analyses revealed that 𝜟Csrac1 was defective in tolerance to oxidative stress and suppression of host-defense genes. Taken together, our results suggest that CsRAC1 plays essential roles in fungal development and pathogenicity in C. scovilleipepper fruit pathosystem.

Reducing media noise is a key to realizing high areal recording density. However, perpendicularly oriented Co-Cr films, stong candidates for high density recording media, have received little attention in terms of recording noise. We studied the noise characteristics of Co-Cr based alloy films by varying the compositionally separated structure. Co-Cr films with fine compositionally separated microstructure were observed to have low noise, which recording density dependence were negative or week. Studies on control of the microstructure and magnetic properties in combination with noise analysis are important to realize high density recording media.

This paper is about one practical case on applying interdisciplinary collaboration on the education of technical writing and presentation for the engineering students. There are many points for the collaboration on various stages. Points of collaboration from the literature faculty and engineering faculty are discussed. Also collaboration forms in each educational stage are discussed. Finally a practical case of applying the collaboration scheme are described based on a real class example.
