Piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies, which can be used to convert the electricity from the mechanical energy, have been developed in order to assist or power the wearable electronics. To realize non-toxic and biocompatible electronics, the lead-free (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Ti_0.90Zr_0.10)O₃ (BCTZ) nanoparticles (NPs) are being studied with a great attention as flexible energy harvesting device. Herein, piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using BCTZ NPs-embedded poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] matrix to improve the performance of flexible energy harvester. Output performance of the fabricated energy device was investigated by the well-optimized measurement system during the periodically bending and releasing motions. The generated open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current of the piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposite-based energy harvester reached up to ~15 V and ~1.1 ㎂, respectively; moreover, the instantaneous power of 3.5 ㎼ is determined from load voltage and current at the external load of 20 MΩ. This research is expected to cultivate a new approach to high-performance wearable self-powering electronics.

농업지역에서 발생한 오염부하량을 결정하기 위해 여러 토지이용형태 중에서 벚나무 재배지(단위 비점오염원)에서 발생하는 오염부하 특성을 조사하였다. 유출시 발생된 강우사상에서는 강우량과 유출수량의 상관계수가 0.5로 낮게 나타나 투수성을 예측할 수 없는 수준이었다. 강우량 20mm 미만인 경우에도 강우강도가 8.8 mm/hr 수준으로 높은 경우에는 유출이 발생하였으나 강우량이 47.4 mm로 많은 경우라 할지라도 긴 무강우일수와 약한 강우강도를 보인 경우에는 유출이 발생하지 않았다. 강우사상시 발생된 유출량과 SS, BOD, COD, TN 및 TP 오염부하량과의 상관계수는 SS에서 최저값 0.71을 보인 것 이외에는 모두 r ${\geq}$ 0.92로 매우 유의한 값을 나타냈다. 한편 SS와 다른 오염물질간의 오염부하상관성도 모두 r ${\geq}$ 0.73의로 유의한 값을 나타내었으므로 SS관리를 통해 유기물질과 영양염에 대한 제어도 가능함을 알 수 있다. 최고 TN농도는 시비활동에 의해 직접적 영향을 받은 Event의 유출수에서 발생하였다. 따라서 농경지에서 발생하는 유출수의 오염수준을 평가할 때에는 시비여부를 반드시 고려해야 할 것이다.

In this research, I performed rainfall monitoring by selecting the spot which can represent high altitude cool farm region in recent 3 years, and tried to understand the characteristic of outflow of non-point pollutants coming from high altitude cool farm region. As a result, it was shown that reducing rainfall runoff in highland farm area can reduce non-point pollution load and should consider priority to reduce runoff through management resources when selecting abatement method. Additionally, it is judged that reduction method related to base run-off should be selected by performing research on material motion of TN.

This study was carried out to investigate the important factors relating to runoff and pollutant loads in a plot unit located in an agricultural area. Of the precipitation parameters, such as total precipitation, days since last rainfall (ADD, the rainfall was more than 10mm) and average rainfall intensity on runoff, the strongest effect was obtained due to total precipitation, but the rainfall intensity showed a slightly positive correlation. It was expected that both variables, i.e. total precipitation and rainfall intensity, would lead to the generation of greater runoff. In contrast, runoff was negatively correlated with ADD, which is understandable because more infiltration and less runoff would be expected after a long dry period. The TSS load varied greatly, between 75.6 and $5.18{\times}10^4g$, per event. With the exception of TN, the TSS, BOD, COD and TP loads were affected by runoff. The correlations of these items were proportional to the runoff volume, with correlation coefficients (r) greater than 0.70, which are suitable for use as NPS model data. The TSS load showed very good relationships with organics (BOD & COD) and nutrients (TN & TP), with correlation coefficients greater than 0.79. Therefore, the removal of TSS is a promising factor for protecting water basins.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection often complicates burn wounds. Mupirocin is the antibiotic of choice for superficial MRSA infection, and its resistance is on the rise due to its frequent and widespread use. This study aimed to develop and evaluate Curcuma xanthorriza extract (CXE)-containing gel as a topical agent against MRSA-infected second-degree burn wound in rats. CXE was obtained using maceration with 96% ethanol. Xanthorrhizol level, antibacterial, and antioxidant activity were evaluated using a standardized method. In vivo, the wound's healing and bacterial load were evaluated every three days, whereas the histopathology of the wound was examined on day 12 of treatment. One-Way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to analyze the data. In this study, 27.0% and 7.10% of the obtained CXE were xanthorrhizol and curcumin, respectively. Additionally, an IC50 of 64.27 ppm was shown in antioxidant activity measurement, and MIC against MRSA was 5 mg/ml. Treatment with CXE-containing gels showed a significant reduction in bacterial load and proliferation of connective tissue in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, CXE-containing gel showed a greater reduction of bacterial load and more advanced wound healing phase than mupirocin.

이 연구에서는 FFC2Q모형의 WQUAL블럭의 기본이론과 적용성을 검토하고, 도시지역의 강우초기 시 집중적으로 발생하는 CSOs의 비점오염부하 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 비점오염물 축적량 산정법과 쓸림방정식에서 주요 매개변수들의 선택과 그 영향을 분석하였다. 군자 배수구역의 3개 강우사상에 대한 실측치와의 비교를 통해 첨두유출량, 총유출량, 총부하량, 첨두농도 발생시간 등을 적정하게 모의할 수 있었으며, 입력자료의 단순화에도 불구하고 SWMM, MOUSE 등과 대등한 계산 결과를 보였다. 강우분포와 관련하여서는, 초기에 집중도가 높은 Huff1 분포에서 오염부하가 다른 분포에 비해 빠르게 발생하였으며, 강우초기 $BOD_5$, COD의 부하량 증가율은 SS에 비해 크게 나타났다. 비점오염부하량은 일정 강우 초기에 집중되어 결국 총부하량에 이르며, 이후 강우지속에 따른 유출은 비점오염부하량에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Nano/micro friction with the contact area was studied on Si-wafer (100) and diamond-like carbon (DLC) film. Borosilicate balls of radii $0.32{\mu}m,\;0.5{\mu}m,\;1.25{\mu}m\;and\;2.5{\mu}m$ mounted on the top of AFM tip (NPS) were used for nano-scale contact and Soda Lime glass balls of radii 0.25mm, 0.5mm, 1mm were used for micro-scale contact. At nano-scale, the friction between ball and surface was measured with the applied normal load using an atomic force microscope (AFM), and at micro scale it was measured using ball-on flat type micro-tribotester. All the experiments were conducted at controlled conditions of temperature $(24\pm1^{\circ}C)$ and humidity $(45\pm5\%)$. Friction was measured as a function of applied normal load in the range of 0-160nN at nano scale and in the range of $1000{\mu}N,\; 1500{\mu}N,\;3000{\mu}N\;and\;4800{\mu}N$ at micro scale. Results showed that the friction at nano scale increased with the applied normal load and ball size for both kinds of samples. Similar behavior of friction with the applied normal load and ball size was observed for Si-wafer at micro scale. However, for DLC friction decreased with the ball size. This difference of in behavior of friction in DLC nano- and microscale was attribute to the difference in the operating mechanisms. The evidence of the operating mechanisms at micro-scale were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). At micro-scale, solid-solid adhesion was dominant in Silicon-wafer, while plowing in DLC. Contrary to the nano scale that shows almost a wear-less situation, wear was prominent at micro-scale. At nano- and micro-scale, effect of contact area on the friction was discussed with the different applied normal load and ball size.

This study was performed to monitor the runoff of sandy soils on alpine uplands between March 2008 and December 2009, and assess non-point source pollution load. The fields were used to cultivete poteto in 2008 and radish in 2009. The fertilizers used in 200S, compared to those used in 2009, contained 2.1 times of nitrogen, 1.9 times of phosphorous, and 2.3 times of potassium. In 2008, the annual pollution load indiceted SS 2,908.47kg/ha/yr, COD 67.95kg/ha/yr, BOD 50.72kg/ha/yr, TN l3.29kg/ha/yr, and TP 9.97kg/ha/yr. In 2009, the annual pollution load indiceted SS 3,908.34kg/ha/yr, COD 225.04kg/ha/yr, BOD 156.96kg/ha/yr, TN 18.88kg/ha/yr, and TP 36.41kg/ha/yr. The amount of fertilizers used was about twice greeter in 2008, but the amounts of TN in pollution load per unit of rainfall were similar by 0.031kg/ha/mm to 0.029kg/ha/mm, whereas the amounts of COD (0.16kg/ha/mm to 0.35kg/ha/mm), BOD (0.12kg/ha/mm to 0.24kg/ha/mm), and TP (0.023kg/ha/mm to 0.057kg/ha/mm) doubled in 2009. We can infer thet the surface covering by the growth of crop mainly affected the transport of T-N through the subsurface flow to reduce non-point source pollution.

The characteristics of stormwater runoff was examined on distinct types of agricultural and industrial area in Lake Sihwa watershed. During rainfall event, the peak concentrations of SS, $COD_{Mn}$, and TP were observed after 6~11 hours of rainfall in agricultural areas. Whereas, the peak concentrations occurred within the first one hour after rainfall and then the highest concentration of NPS pollutants sharply decreased, showing strong first flush effect in industrial areas. The strong first flush effect of suspended solid was apparent in agricultural areas, while those of organic matters and nutrients were clear in industrial areas. The cumulative load curves for NPS pollutants showed above the $45^{\circ}$ straight line, indicating that first flush effect occurred in industrial areas. The mean SS EMC values of agricultural areas ranged from 60~598 mg/L (Avg. 285 mg/L), it was higher value when compare to other areas. While the mean $COD_{Mn}$, TN, and TP EMCs values of industrial areas were shown the highest values as 67.7 mg/L, 12.1 mg/L and 2.1 mg/L respectively.
