A simple and rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the quantification of ${\varepsilon}$-acetamidocaproic acid (AACA), the primary metabolite of zinc acexamate (ZAC), in rat plasma by using normetanephrine as an internal standard. Sample preparation involved protein precipitation using methanol. Separation was achieved on a Gemini-NX $C_{18}$ column ($150mm{\times}2.0mm$, i.d., 3 ${\mu}m$ particle size) using a mixture of 0.1% formic acid-water : acetonitrile (80 : 20, v/v) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 200 ${\mu}l/min$. Quantification was performed on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer employing electrospray ionization and operating in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and positive ion mode. The total chromatographic run time was 4.0 min, and the calibration curves of AACA were linear over the concentration range of 20~5000 ng/ml in rat plasma. The coefficient of variation and relative error at four QC levels were ranged from 1.0% to 5.8% and from -8.4% to 6.6%, respectively. The present method was successfully applied for estimating the pharmacokinetic parameters of AACA following intravenous or oral administration of ZAC to rats.

Geotechnical Information System (GTIS) for efficient management of three dimensional borehole data has been developed. Some problems were raised during the input process of borehole data, and alternative solutions were sought. According to the previous geotechnical reports, there is no unified weathering classification scheme. A criterion, 100 times/30cm from SPT, was turned out inappropriate to the discrimination of weathered rock from weathered soil. It has also been suggested that weathered soil, weathered rock, soft rock, and hard rock should be defined as CW, HW, MW, and SW~fresh condition. For better comparison of RQD, the use of NX size coring is recommended for the whole area although BX size coring has been used in excavated area. The limit of drilling depth up to 1 m from the top of surface of hard rock should be extended to avoid possible wrong interpretation of rock head due to the existence of corestone. The input data were analysed by geostatistical methods. It is found that the range in semivariogram is about 300m, and the variance of gneiss is greater than that of granite. It is because the granite data analysed came from almost single uniform rock mass(i.e.Seoul granite), but gneiss data came from the rock mass(i.e. Gyeonggi gneiss complex experienced several metamorphic metamorphic processes.

Due to Bell, a ring R is usually said to be IFP if ab = 0 implies aRb = 0 for $a,b{\in}R$. It is shown that if f(x)g(x) = 0 for $f(x)=a_0+a_1x$ and $g(x)=b_0+{\cdots}+b_nx^n$ in R[x], then $(f(x)R[x])^{2n+2}g(x)=0$. Motivated by this results, we study the structure of the IFP when proper ideals are taken in place of R, introducing the concept of insertion-of-ideal-factors-property (simply, IIFP) as a generalization of the IFP. A ring R will be called an IIFP ring if ab = 0 (for $a,b{\in}R$) implies aIb = 0 for some proper nonzero ideal I of R, where R is assumed to be non-simple. We in this note study the basic structure of IIFP rings.

A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD) method was established for quantitative evaluation of nine constituents of Fraxinus rhynchophylla such as four coumarins, esculin (1), fraxin (2), esculetin (3), fraxetin (4), three lignans, syringaresinol 4,4'-O-${\beta}$-diglucoside (5), pinoresinol 4-O-${\beta}$-glucoside (6), pinoresinol (9), one secoiridoid, oleuropein (7), and one coumarinolignan, cleomiscosin C (8). The preferred chromatographic condition was obtained on Phenomenex Gemini-NX (3 ${\mu}m$, C18 110A, $150{\times}4.60$ mm) and the mobile phase was composed of water and acetonitrile using a gradient elution. The wavelength was set at 220 nm. Extraction condition of these constituents in F. rhynchophylla was also optimized through extraction time, extraction solvent and extraction method using established method. From this study, extraction at $70^{\circ}C$ with the mixture of ethanol and water for more than 12 h was suggested to be good extraction condition for these constituents. Quantitation of nine constituents in different F. rhynchophylla samples was also successfully accomplished with the newly established method.

다양한 분야에서 확산 방지막은 소자의 신뢰성 향상에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 최근 반도체에 적용되기 시작한 구리 배선 형성 공정에서도 실리콘이나 실리콘 산화막으로 구리가 확산하는 것을 방지하는 기술이 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 기존 physical vapor deposition (PVD)법을 이용한 $TaN_x$ 확산 방지막 형성 기술이 성공적으로 적용되고 있으나 반도체의 최소선폭이 지속적으로 감소함에 따라 한계에 다다르고 있다. 20 nm 급과 그 이하의 구리 배선을 위해서는 5 nm 이하의 매우 얇고 높은 피복 단차율을 가진 확산 방지막 형성 기술이 요구된다. 또한, 요구 두께의 감소에 따라 더 우수한 확산 방지 특성이 요구된다. Atomic layer deposition (ALD)은 박막의 정교한 두께 조절이 가능하며 높은 종횡비를 가지는 구조에서도 균일한 박막 형성이 가능하다. 이번 연구에서는 다른 질소 함량을 가진 $TaN_x$ 박막을 Tertiarybutylimido tris (ethylamethlamino) tantalum (TBITEMAT) 전구체와 $H_2+N_2$ 반응성 플라즈마를 사용하여 plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) 법으로 형성하였다. 박막 내질소 함량에 따라 $TaN_x$의 상 (phase)과 미세구조 변화가 관찰되었고, 이러한 물성의 변화는 확산 방지 특성에 영향을 주었다. TEM (Transmission electron microscopy)과 SEM (scanning electron microscope), XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통해 $TaN_x$의 물성을 분석하였고, 300 도에서 700 도까지 열처리 후 XRD (x-ray deffraction)와 I-V test를 통해 확산 방지막의 열적 안정성이 평가되었다. PEALD를 통해 24 nm 크기의 trench 기판 위에 약 4 nm의 $TaN_x$ 확산 방지막이 매우 균일하게 형성할 수 있었으며 향후 구리 배선에 효과적으로 적용될 것으로 예상된다.

현재 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 전 후면 전극의 형성은 스크린 프린팅 방법이 주를 이루고 있다. 스크린 프린팅 방법은 쉽고 빠르게 인쇄가 가능한 반면 단가가 높고 금속 페이스트에 첨가된 여러 혼합물에 의해서 전극과 기판 사이의 저항이 크다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 도금을 이용하여 태양전지의 전극을 형성한 후 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 비교하였다. 또한 단일반사방지막($SiN_x$) 증착 후 도금을 이용한 전극 형성 시 반사방지막의 pin-hole에 의해 전극 이외의 표면에 도금이 되는 ghost plating 현상이 발생하게 되는데, 이를 방지하기 위해 thermal oxidation을 이용하여 SiO2/SiNx 이중반사 방지막을 증착함으로써 ghost plating을 최소화 시켰다. Ni을 이용하여 전극과 기판 사이의 저항을 낮추었으며, 주요 전극은 Cu 도금을 사용함으로써 단가를 낮추었으며 마지막으로 Cu전극의 산화를 방지하기 위해 Ag을 이용하여 얇게 도금하였다. 실험에 사용된 Si 웨이퍼 특성은 p-형, $156{\times}156mm2$, $200{\mu}m$, $0.5{\sim}3.0{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ 이다. 웨이퍼는 표면조직화, p-n접합 형성, 반사방지막 코팅을 하였으며 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용해 후면 전극을 인쇄하고 열처리 과정을 통해 전극을 형성하였다. 이 후 전면에 레이저를 이용해 전극 패턴을 형성한 후 도금을 실행하여 태양전지를 완성하였다. 완성된 태양전지는 솔라 시뮬레이터, QE 및 TLM패턴을 이용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였으며, SEM과 linescan, 광학현미경 등을 이용하여 전극을 분석하였다.

Thin-film transistor (TFT) arrays for an x-ray detector require quite different design concept from that of the conventional active-matrix liquid crystal devices (AM-LCDs). In this paper anew design of TFT array which uses only SiNx for passivation layer is described to meet the detector performance and the product availability simultaneously. For the purpose of optimizing the design parameters of the TFT array, a Spice simulation was performed. As a result, some parameters, such as the TFT width, the data line capacitance, and the storage capacitance, were able to be fixed. The other parameters were decided within a permissible range of the TFT process especially the photolithography process and the wet etch process. Then we adapted the TFT array which had been produced by the proposed design to our prototype model (FDXD-1417 and evaluated it clinically by comparing with a commercial model (EPEX, Hologic, Beford, USA). The results say that our prototype model is slightly better than EPEX system in chest PA images. So we can prove the technical usefulness and the commercial values of the proposed TFT design.

Porous silicon(PS) as an excellent light diffuser can be used as an antireflection layer without other antireflection coating(ARC) materials. PS layers were obtained by electrochemical etching(ECE) anodization of silicon wafers in hydrofluoric acid/ethanol/de-ionized(DI) water solution($HF/EtOH/H_2O$). This technique is based on the selective removal of Si atoms from the sample surface forming a layer of PS with adjustable optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. A PS layer with optimal ARC characteristics was obtained in charge density (Q) of 5.2 $C/cm^2$. The weighted reflectance is reduced from 33 % to 4 % in the wavelength between 400 and 1000 nm. The weighted reflectance with optimized PS layers is much less than that obtained with a commercial SiNx ARC on a potassium hydroxide(KOH) pre-textured multi-crystalline silicon(mc-Si) surface.

It is necessary to predict subway induced vibration if a new subway is to be built. To obtain the vibration response reliably, a three-dimensional (3D) FEM model, consisting of the tunnel, the soil, the subway load and the building above, is established in MIDAS GTS NX. For this study, it is a six-story frame structure built above line 3 of Guangzhou metro. The entire modeling process is described in detail, including the simplification of the carriage load and the determination of model parameters. Vibration measurements have been performed on the site of the building and the model is verified with the collected data. The predicted and measured vibration response are used together to assess vibration level due to the subway traffic in the building. The No.1 building can meet work and residence comfort requirement. This study demonstrates the applicability of the numerical train-tunnel-soil-structure model for the serviceability assessment of subway induced vibration and aims to provide practical references for engineering applications.
