Cu-based sulfides have recently emerged as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and abundance. In this research, point defect structure of Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3) samples were synthesized by the mechanical alloying method. Mixed powders of Cu, Zn, Sn and S were milled using high energy ball milling at a rotation speed of 300 rpm in Ar atmosphere. The milled Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were heat-treated at 723 K for 24 h, and subsequently consolidated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) under an applied pressure of 60 MPa for 15 min. The thermal conductivity of the sintered Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ samples was evaluated. A well-defined Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were successfully formed after milling for 16 h, with the particle sizes mostly distributed in the range of 60-100 nm. The lattice constants of aand cdecreased with increasing composition value x. The thermal conductivity of sintered x=0.1 sample exhibited the lowest value and attained 0.93 W/m K at 673 K.

건고추에 존재하는 미생물은 세균 3종(S. aureus, B. amyloliquefaciens, L. crispatus), 곰팡이 2종(I. lacteus, T. crustaceus)이 동정되었고, 그 중 인체 유해성이 있는 S. aureus를 대상으로 대기압 유전체장벽방전 플라즈마를 이용한 미생물 사멸효과와 건고추의 품질변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. S. aureus의 사멸율은 플라즈마 처리를 위한 전력과 노출시간의 증가에 따라 증가하였고, 노출거리 증가에 따라 사멸율이 감소하였다. 한편, 다양한 전력, 노출시간, 노출거리 범위에서 건고추에 플라즈마를 처리한 결과, 건고추의 ASTA value 및 경도는 영향을 받지 않았고, 관능 특성(향, 맛, 색, 전체적 기호도)에서도 유의적 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 최종적으로, $25^{\circ}C$에서 12주 동안 플라즈마 처리된 건고추의 저장성을 평가한 결과, 건고추의 ASTA value, capsaicin 농도, 경도가 일정하게 유지됨으로 인해 대기압 유전체장벽방전 플라즈마기술이 농 식품산업에 적용될 수 있는 유용한 살균기술임을 확인하였다.

The effects of thermal treatment on CNTs, which were coated with a-$CN_x$ thin film, were investigated and related to variations of chemical bonding and morphologies of CNTs and also properties of field emission induced by thermal treatment. CNTs were directly grown on nano-sized conical-type tungsten tips via the inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD) system, and a-$CN_x$ films were coated on the CNTs using an RF magnetron sputtering system. Thermal treatment on a-$CN_x$ coated CNT-emitters was performed using a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) system by varying temperature ($300-700^{\circ}C$). Morphologies and microstructures of a-$CN_x$/CNTs hetero-structured emitters were analyzed by FESEM and HRTEM. Chemical composition and atomic bonding structures were analyzed by EDX, Raman spectroscopy, and XPS. The field emission properties of the a-$CN_x$/CNTs hetero-structured emitters were measured using a high vacuum (below $10^{-7}$ Torr) field-emission measurement system. For characterization of emission stability, the fluctuation and degradation of the emission current were monitored in terms of operation time. The results were compared with a-$CN_x$ coated CNT-emitters that were not thermally heated as well as with the conventional non-coated CNT-emitters.

The Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) is a nonequilibrium gas discharge that is generated in the space between two electrodes, which are separated by an insulating dielectric layer. The dielectric layer can be put on either of the two electrodes or be inserted in the space between two electrodes. If an AC or pulse high voltage is applied to the electrodes that is operated at applied frequency from 50Hz to several MHz and applied voltages from a few to a few tens of kilovolts rms, the breakdown can occur in working gas, resulting in large numbers of micro-discharges across the gap, the gas discharge is the so called DBD. Compared with most other means for nonequilibrium discharges, the main advantage of the DBD is that active species for chemical reaction can be produced at low temperature and atmospheric pressure without the vacuum set up, it also presents many unique physical and chemical process including light, heat, sound and electricity. This has led to a number of important applications such as ozone synthesizing, UV lamp house, CO2 lasers, et al. In recent years, due to its potential applications in plasma chemistry, semiconductor etching, pollution control, nanometer material and large area flat plasma display panels, DBD has received intensive attention from many researchers and is becoming a hot topic in the field of non-thermal plasma.

폴리아미드 직물과 NBR의 최적 접착특성을 나타낼 수 있는 조건을 검토하기 위해 대기압 플라즈마(APP) 처리 효과에 대한 실험적 연구를 하였다. 대기압 화염 플라즈마(APFP) 처리의 경우 주어진 계면조건에서 최적의 처리횟수는 2회였다. APFP 처리 횟수가 증가함에 따라 직물의 열변형은 더욱 심하였다. APFP 처리 직물을 강화한 복합재료의 접착강도는 접착제를 한번 혹은 두번 도포한 계면에 대해 플라즈마를 처리하지 않은 경우에 비해 약 35% 증가하였다. 접착제를 중복 도포하였을 때, APFP 처리 직물 강화한 복합재료의 접착에너지는 약 4배 증가하였다. APFP 처리에 의한 폴리아미드 직물의 표면 개질이 다른 형태의 APP 처리방식과 비교했을 때, 경제적이고 빠르며 고무와의 접착강도를 개선시킬 수 있는 방법이라고 판단된다.

The physiochemical properties and interactions between porcine blood and waxy rice were determined. Addition of calcium chloride (0.15%) improved acceptability of blood cake and increased the gelatinization degree of waxy rice. The water-holding capacity of porcine blood gel (blood/water=60/40, v/v), extent of absorption and gelatinization of waxy rice, and scanning electron microscopy showed that blood protein matrix and waxy rice are competitors for holding water in the cooking procedure. Non-haem iron content increased linearly (R=0.95) when heating temperature rose. The presence of blood proteins caused increasing of peak temperature (Tp) of gelatinization in differential scanning calorimetric thermal gram, The microstnlcture of plasma proteins and haemoglobin appeared continuous changes, and interacted with surface of waxy rice flour in terms of network and mosaic form, respectively. The electrophoretic patterns revealed an interaction between plasma proteins and waxy rice glutelin and haemoglobin when heated could be found at temperatures above $60^{\circ}C$.

The deposition characteristics of diamond films were investigated for three different substrates : Si, Inconel 600 and steel. Diamond films were prepared by microwave plasma CVD method using $CH_4$, $H_2$ and $O_2$ as reaction gases. The deposited films were analyzed with SEM, Raman spectroscopy and ellipsometer. For Si substrate, diamond films were successfully obtained for most of the deposition conditions used in this study. As the $CH_4$ flow rate decreased and the $O_2$ flow rate increased, the quality of the film was improved due to the reduced non-diamond phase in the film. For Inconel 600 substrate, the surface pretreatment with diamond powders was required to deposit a continuous diamond film. The films deposited at temperatures of $600^{\circ}C$ and $700^{\circ}C$ had mainly diamond phase, but they were peeled off locally due to the difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate and the deposited films. The films deposited at $500^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ had only the graphitic carbon phase. For steel substrate, all of the films deposited had only the graphitie carbon phase. We speculated that the formation of diamond nuclei on the steel substrate was inhibited due to the diffusion of carbon atoms into the steel substrate which has a large amount of carbon solubility.

Spa represents a treatment widely used in many rheumatic diseases (RD). The mechanisms by which immersion in mineral or thermal water ameliorates RD are not fully understood. The net benefit is probably the result of a combination of factors, among which the mechanical, thermal and chemical effects are most prominent. Buoyancy, immersion, resistance and temperature play important roles. According to the gate theory, pain relief may be due to the pressure and temperature of the water on skin; heat may reduce muscle spasm and increase the pain threshold. Mud-bath therapy increases plasma ${\beta}$-endorphin levels and secretion of corticotrophin, cortisol, growth hormone and prolactin. It has recently been demonstrated that thermal mud-bath therapy induces a reduction in circulating levels of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, interleukin-$1{\beta}$ and tumour necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, important mediators of inflammation and pain. Furthermore, balneotherapy has been found to cause an increase in insulin-like growth factor-1, which stimulates cartilage metabolism, and transforming growth factor-${\beta}$. Beneficial anti-inflammatory and anti-degenerative effects of mineral water were confirmed in chondrocytes cultures, too. Various studies in vitro and in humans have highlighted the positive action of mud-packs and thermal baths, especially sulphurous ones, on the oxidant/antioxidant system. Overall, thermal stress has an immunosuppressive effect. Many other non-specific factors may also contribute to the beneficial effects observed after spa therapy in some RD, including effects on cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. adipokines) and changes in the environment, pleasant surroundings and the absence of work duties.
