Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura(TTP) is a rare but life-threatening multi-system disorder characterized by the classic pentad of clinical features that includes fever, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, neurologic abnormalities and renal dysfunction. TTP has been rarely reported to simultaneously present with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). While it is important to distinguish between the two diseases of therapeutic implication, cases of concurrent TTP and SLE help to elucidate the pathophysiology that underlies each condition. We describe two adolescents with synchronous TTP and SLE, and review the literature.

The relative composition of $Cu(InGa)Se_2$ solar cells is one of the most important measurement issues. However, quantitative analysis of multi-component alloy films is difficult by surface analysis methods due to severe matrix effect. In this study, quantitative depth profiling analysis of CIGS films was investigated by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The compositions were measured by SIMS using the alloy reference relative sensitivity factors derived from the certified compositions and the total counting numbers of each element. The compositions measured by SIMS were linearly proportional to those by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) using isotope dilution method. In this study, the quantification measured by ICP-MS method is compared with the composition calculated by SIMS depth profiles with AR-RSFs obtained from the reference. The SIMS depth profile of CIGS thin films according to the manufacturing condition was converted into compositional depth profile.

A study has been conducted for an optimal processing and an apparatus for manufacturing a laser welded tube for one-body formed bumper beam. The tube dimensions used in calculation were the thickness of 1.4 mm, the diameter of 105.4 mm and the length of 2000 mm. The tube was formed of a cold rolled high strength steel plate(tensile strength of 600 MPa). The two-roll bending method was the optimal tube forming process in comparison with the UO-bending method, the bending method on the press brake, the multi-step continuous roll-forming method and the 3-roll bending method. Monitoring of the welding quality was conducted and the seam tracking along the butt-joint lengthwise to the tube axis was also examined. The longitudinal butt-joint was welded by using a $CO_2$ laser welding machine equipped with a seam tracker and a plasma sensor. The $CO_2$ laser tube welding machine could be used for precise seam tracking and real-time monitoring of the welding quality. As a result, the developed laser welded tube could be used for a one-body formed automobile bumper beam.

Pc1 pulsations are geomagnetic fluctuations in the frequency range of 0.2 to 5 Hz. There have been several observations of Pc1 pulsations in low earth orbit by MAGSAT, DE-2, Viking, Freja, CHAMP, and SWARM satellites. However, there has been a clear limitation in resolving the spatial and temporal variations of the pulsation by using a single-point observation by a single satellite. To overcome such limitations of previous observations, a new space mission was recently initiated, using the concept of multi-satellites, named the Small scale magNetospheric and Ionospheric Plasma Experiments (SNIPE). The SNIPE mission consists of four nanosatellites (~10 kg), which will be launched into a polar orbit at an altitude of 600 km (TBD) in 2020. Four satellites will be deployed in orbit, and the distances between each satellite will be controlled from 10 to 1,000 km by a high-end formation-flying algorithm. One of the possible science targets of the SNIPE mission is observing electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. In this paper, we report on examples of observations, showing the limitations of previous EMIC observations in low earth orbit, and suggest possibilities to overcome those limitations through a new mission.

We present preliminary results of far-infrared(FIR) study of the supernova remnant(SNR)s in the Large Magellanic Cloud using the Herschel HERITAGE (HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution) data set. HERITAGE provides FIR data covering the entire LMC at 100,160, 250, 350, and 500 um. In order to confirm FIR emission associated with SNRs, we refer to Magellanic Cloud Emission-Line Survey (MCELS) H-alpha & SII data, Spitzer surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) 24um & 70um data, Chandra Supernova Remnants Catalog, and ATCA 4.8GHz continuum images of Dickel et al. (2005). Among 47 SNRs in the LMC, 7 SNRs show associated FIR emission. We present multi-wavelength view of 5 SNRs; DEM L249, N49, N63A, N132D, and the SNR in N4. N49 and N132D show morphological correlation in FIR and X-ray, suggesting that the FIR emission is from dust grains collisionally heated by X-ray emitting plasma. The FIR emission of N63A resembles H-alpha emission, which implies that the FIR line radiation could be dominant. The FIR images of the rest two objects, DEM L249 and SNR in N4, show no correlation to the other-waveband images.

Organic light emitting layer in OLED device was formed by gravure printing process in this work. Organic surface coated by gravure printing typically showed relatively bad uniformity. Thickness and roughness control was characterized by applying various mixed solvents in this work. Poly (N-vinyl carbazole) (PVK) and fact-tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium($Ir(ppy)_3$) are host dopant system materials. PVK was used as a host and Ir(ppy)3 as green-emitting dopant. To luminance efficiency of the plasma treatment on etched ITO glass and then PEDOT:PSS spin coated. The device layer structure of OLED devices is as follow Glass/ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PVK+Ir(ppy)3-Active layer /LiF/Al. It was printed by gravure printing technology for polymer light emitting diode (PLED). To control the thickness multi-printing technique was applied. As the number of the printing was increased the thickness enhancement was increased. To control the roughness of organic layer film, thermal annealing process was applied. The annealing temperature was varied from room temperature, $40^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$, to $120^{\circ}C$.

Via for achieving reliable fabrication of MCM-D substrate was formed on the photosensitive BCB layer. MCM-D substrate consists of photosensitive BCB(Benzocyclobutene) interlayer dielectric and copper conductors. In order to form the vias in photosensitive BCB layer, the process of BCB and plasme etch using $C_2$F$_{6}$ gas were evaluated. The thickness of BCB after soft bake was shrunk down to 60% of the original. AES analysis was done on two vias, one is etched in $C_2$F$_{6}$ gas and the other is non etched. On via etched in $C_2$F$_{6}$, native C was detected and the amount of native C was reduced after Ar sputter. On via non etched in $C_2$F$_{6}$, organic C was detected and amount of organic C was reduced a little after Ar sputter. As a result of AES, BCB residue was not removed by Ar sputter, so plasma etch is necessary for achieving reliable via.ble via.

Comparative studies on microstructure, and mechanical and anti-oxidation properties between TiN and Ti-Si-N films were performed. The Ti-Si-N films were deposited on high-speed steel and silicon wafer substrates by plasma-assisted chemcial vapor deposition(PACVD) technique. The Si addition to TiN film caused to change the microstructure such as grain size refinement, randomly multi-oriented microstructure, and nano-sized codeposition of silicon nitride in the TiN matrix. The Ti-Si-N film, contains Si content of ∼7 at.%, showed the micro-hardness value of ∼3400 HK, which was higher than the pure TiN film whose hardness was ∼1500HK. The Ti-Si(7 at.%)-N film also showed much improved anti-oxidation properties compared with those of the pure TiN film. These properties were also related to the microstructure of Ti-Si(7 at.%)-N film was formed and retarded further oxidation of the nitridelayer. These properties were also related to the microstructure of Ti-Si(7 at.%)-N film which was characterized by nano-sized precipitates of silicon nitride phase in the TiN matrix and randomly oriented grains.

Adhesion of DLC film is very significant property that exhibits wear resistance, chemical inertness and high hardness when being deposited to metal substrate. This study was considered that change adhesion of DLC film produced by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition can be presented through inserting interlayer (Cr, Si-C:H). The thickness of interlayer was result of changing adhesion and residual stress. It was showed that the maximum 12 N of adhesion is on DLC film of Cr interlayer, and that a tendency is to be increased residual stress depend on the thickness. DLC film of Si-C:H interlayer represented 16 N of adhesion at $1{\mu}m$, whereas adhesion is decreased when the thickness is increased. For the interlayer at multi-layer, it was the best that adhesion of Cr/Si-C:H/DLC film was 33 N. Si-C:H interlayer at DLC film controled adhesion of the whole film. It was relaxed the internal stress of DLC film produced by inserting Cr, Si-C:H interlayer.
