The new process for hybrid silicon thin film transistor (TFT) using DPSS laser has been developed for realizing both low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) TFT and a-Si:H TFT on the same substrate as a backplane of active matrix liquid crystal display. LTPS TFTs are integrated on the peripheral area of the panel for gate driver integrated circuit and a-Si:H TFTs are used as a switching device for pixel in the active area. The technology has been developed based on the current a-Si:H TFT fabrication process without introducing ion-doping and activation process and the field effect mobility of $4{\sim}5\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and $0.5\;cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ for each TFT was obtained. The low power consumption, high reliability, and low photosensitivity are realized compared with amorphous silicon gate driver circuit and are demonstrated on the 14.1 inch WXGA+ ($1440{\times}900$) LCD Panel.

This study aimed to confirm the applicability of the new nitrogen (N₂) gas stunning method in the broiler slaughtering process by comparing the meat and small intestine quality following different stunning methods (electrical, carbon dioxide (CO₂), N₂, and halal). Four treatments were compared: (i) electrical stunning (Elec), (ii) 80% CO₂ gas stunning (CO₂-gas), (iii) 98% N₂ gas stunning (N₂-gas), and (iv) the non-stunning method (halal). N₂ gas stunning (98%) and the halal method were conducted at the pilot plant abattoir of the national institute of animal science, Korea, and electrical and 80% CO₂ stunning were performed on the nearest commercial slaughter house. Meat pH_24h, color (lightness, redness and yellowness), proximate composition, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss, and Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) were measured, and in the small intestine, pH_24h, color, thickness, and WBSF were measured. The Elec treatment showed high lightness, yellowness, and low redness in both meat and the small intestine, indicated by a pale color; the CO₂-gas treatment showed high redness, low lightness, and low yellowness, and the coloration of meat from the N₂-gas treatment was intermediate between Elec and CO₂-gas. For other quality traits, the N₂-gas showed good results and was between Elec and CO₂-gas. Additionally, severe stress (low pH in both meats), low WHC in meat, and cracked small intestine with numerous apertures were observed in the CO₂-gas, and pale colored hemorrhagic breast meat was found in the Elec. Therefore, in view of animal welfare and quality traits of meat and the small intestine, 98% N₂ gas can be considered in broiler stunning.

The cement industry emits a large amount of CO₂, and 60~65% of the CO₂ is generated from calcination of raw materials. So, the CO₂ from cement industry can be reduced by substituting decarbonated materials for limestone. In this study, the chemical composition and grindability of three types of steel slag were evaluated and the application of those materials will be examined for the production of low heat portland cement.

SnO2/Pt CO gas sensors operating at relatively low temperature were fabricated, and their performance characteristics were measured. When the mixing weight ratio of SnO2/Pt was 99.5/0.5, a good sensitivity to CO gas was obtained. And the experimental results were in consistent with the gas sensing model. The optimum operating, temperature range of the fabricated devices was 50-80\ulcorner and the response time was 15 sec. at 80\ulcorner in 1000 ppm CO ambient. The humidity dependence of sensitibity to CO gas could be reduced by adding hydrophokbic silica to the mixture of SnO2 and Pt. For the practical application of the fabricated devices, a CO gas alarming system has been developed.

In this study, kinetic studies and analysis of the produced syngas were conducted for low rank coal gasification under $CO_2$ atmosphere. 6 coals were analyzed to measure amount of sulfur and ash by proximate and ultimate analyses. And then they were analyzed to select suitable sample by using Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Selected coal sample Samhwa was mixed with catalysts. Mixed samples with catalysts were used to get activation energy under $CO_2$ atmosphere by using Kissinger's method and shrinking core model (SCM). Also, analysis of produced syngas was performed by Gas Chromatography (GC). In this experiment, activation of the $K_2CO_3$ was the best performance, and result of the analysis of the syngas showed similar trend with result of the activation energy.

The biological effects of low dose ionizing radiation (LDIR) remain insufficiently understood. We examined for the scientific evidence to show the biological effects of LDIR using radiation-sensitive immune cells. We found that Ikaros protein was responsed to low dose-dependent effects of gamma radiation in IM-9 B lymphocytes. Ikaros encodes zinc finger transcription factors that is important regulators of a hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) progression to the B lymphoid lineage development, differentiation and proliferation. In this study, we observed that cell proliferation was enhanced from 10% to 20% by LDIR (0.05 Gy) in IM-9 B lymphocytes. The Ikaros protein was phosphorylated in its serine/threonine (S/T) region and decreased its DNA binding activity in the cells exposed to LDIR. We found that Ikaros phosphorylation was up-regulated by CK2/AKT pathway and the residues of ser-304 and ser-306 in Ikaros was phosphorylated by LDIR. We also observed that Ikaros protein was localized from the nucleus to the cytoplasm after LDIR and bound with Autotaxin (ENPP2, ATX) protein, stimulating proliferation, migration and survival of immune cells. In addition, we found that the lysoPLD activity of ATX was dependent on Ikaros-ATX binding activity. These results indicate that the Ikaros is an important regulator of immune activation. Therefore, we suggest that low dose ionizing radiation can be considered as a beneficial effects, stimulating the activation of immune cells.

In order to reduce Green House Gas(GHG) reduction in the road freight sector and thus establish green logistics, running efficiency of goods vehicles is of paramount importance. Providing effective transportation infrastructure can contribute to achieve the green logistics by reducing empty running of heavy goods vehicles and van, increasing the average payload on the vehicle, and shifting the transportation mode. In order to reduce the environmental impact from the road freight sector, it is essential to quantify the amount of environmental loading from the sector. However, any systematic survey on the environmental loading from the logistics companies has not been carried out in Korea. In this study, the environmental index for the road freight sector is defined as the amount of $CO_2$ emission per ton km generated from goods vehicles. The computational analysis shows that the average $CO_2$ emission per ton km generated by the logistics companies in Korea is $363g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$. Compared to UK (=$130g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$) and France (=$97g-CO_2/ton{\cdot}km$), the efficiency of logistics in Korea is 2.8 and 3.7 times as low as in the advanced countries. It also indicates that the main reasons for the low efficiency are mainly due to the high rate of empty operation of goods vehicles and the low payload.

This review comprehensively reviews the latest research trends in nickel catalysts for low-temperature CO₂ methanation reactions, with special emphasis on catalyst synthesis and reactor design for low-temperature CO₂ methanation reactions. In addition to the previously reported catalyst synthesis method of impregnation, the effects of structural and chemical properties of catalysts synthesized by solvothermal synthesis and electrospinning on CO₂ methanation reactions were analyzed. We also discuss the potential for process cost reduction and scale-up based on 3D catalyst structures and catalyst stacked reactor designs to improve reaction efficiency. It is found that the efficiency of the CO₂ methanation reaction can be maximized by controlling the oxygen vacancies and crystal structure of the catalyst through an innovative catalyst synthesis method, and by increasing the active area of nickel through the 3D structure of the catalyst and the reactor design. It is expected that this review will serve as the basis for the field of converting natural gas into CH₄, which can be used as a substitute for natural gas while reducing CO₂, a major greenhouse gas.

In order to apply a complex multilayer chip LC filter, this study has estimated the interfacial reaction and coupling properties of dielectric materials $Pb(Fe_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_3$ and Ni-Zn-Cu ferrite materials through low-temperature co-sintering (LTCS). PFN powders were fabricated using double calcinated at $700^{\circ}C$ and then $850^{\circ}C$. While the perovskite phase rate was found to be 91 %, after heat treatment at $900^{\circ}C$ for 6h, the perovskite phase rate and density exhibited a value of 100 % and 7.46$g/cm^3$, respectively. The PFN/Ni-Zn-Cu ferrite, PFN/CUO (or $Pb_2Fe_2O_5$) and ferrite/CuO (or $Pb_2Fe_2O_5$) were mechanically coupled through interfacial reactions after the specimen was co-sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. No intermediate layer exists for the mutual coupling reaction. This result indicates the possibility of low-temperature co-sintering without any interfacial reaction layer for a multilayer chip LC filter.
