Copper zinc tin sulfide ($Cu_2ZnSnS_4$, CZTS) is a very promising material as a low cost absorber alternative to other chalcopyrite-type semiconductors based on Ga or In because of the abundant and economical elements. In addition, CZTS has a band-gap energy of 1.4~1.5eV and large absorption coefficient over ${\sim}10^4cm^{-1}$, which is similar to those of $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$(CIGS) regarded as one of the most successful absorber materials for high efficient solar cell. Most previous works on the fabrication of CZTS thin films were based on the vacuum deposition such as thermal evaporation and RF magnetron sputtering. Although the vacuum deposition has been widely adopted, it is quite expensive and complicated. In this regard, the solution processes such as sol-gel method, nanocrystal dispersion and hybrid slurry method have been developed for easy and cost-effective fabrication of CZTS film. Among these methods, the hybrid slurry method is favorable to make high crystalline and dense absorber layer. However, this method has the demerit using the toxic and explosive hydrazine solvent, which has severe limitation for common use. With these considerations, it is highly desirable to develop a robust, easily scalable and relatively safe solution-based process for the fabrication of a high quality CZTS absorber layer. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of a high quality CZTS absorber layer with a thickness of 1.5~2.0 ${\mu}m$ and micrometer-scaled grains using two different non-vacuum approaches. The first solution-processing approach includes air-stable non-toxic solvent-based inks in which the commercially available precursor nanoparticles are dispersed in ethanol. Our readily achievable air-stable precursor ink, without the involvement of complex particle synthesis, high toxic solvents, or organic additives, facilitates a convenient method to fabricate a high quality CZTS absorber layer with uniform surface composition and across the film depth when annealed at $530^{\circ}C$. The conversion efficiency and fill factor for the non-toxic ink based solar cells are 5.14% and 52.8%, respectively. The other method is based on the nanocrystal dispersions that are a key ingredient in the deposition of thermally annealed absorber layers. We report a facile synthetic method to produce phase-pure CZTS nanocrystals capped with less toxic and more easily removable ligands. The resulting CZTS nanoparticle dispersion enables us to fabricate uniform, crack-free absorber layer onto Mo-coated soda-lime glass at $500^{\circ}C$, which exhibits a robust and reproducible photovoltaic response. Our simple and less-toxic approach for the fabrication of CZTS layer, reported here, will be the first step in realizing the low-cost solution-processed CZTS solar cell with high efficiency.

본 연구에서는 적층 구조를 이용하여 누설전류를 저감 시키는 기술을 적용하여 PIB(Particle-In-Binder) 법을 이용한 방사선 영상 센서의 변환 물질을 개발하였다. 이는 디지털 방사선 영상 검출기의 두 가지 방식 중 하나인 직접방식에 사용되는 핵심 소자로 기존의 a-Se을 대체하여 더욱 효율이 높은 후보 물질들이 연구되어지는 가운데 태양전지와 반도체 분야에서 이미 많이 사용되어온 이종접합을 이용해 누설 전류를 저감 시키는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 연구에서 사용되는 PIB 제작 방법은 검출 물질 제작이 용이하고 높은 수율과 대면적의 검출기 제작에 적합하나 높은 누설 전류가 의료 영상에 있어서 문제가 되어 오고 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 적층 구조를 이용하여 누설 전류를 저감시킨다면 PIB법을 이용하여 간편하게 향상된 효율의 디지털 방사선 검출기를 제작 할 수 있다고 사료 되어 진다. 본 연구에서는 누설 전류와 민감도에 대한 전기적 신호를 측정하여 제작된 적층 구조의 방사선 검출 물질의 특성 평가가 이루어 졌다.

Magnetic nanoparticle based bioseparation in microfluidics is a multiphysics phenomenon that involves interplay of various parameters. The ability to understand the dynamics of these parameters is a prerequisite for designing and developing more efficient magnetic cell/bio-particle separation systems. Therefore, in this work proof-of-concept experiments are combined with advanced numerical simulation to design and optimize the capturing process of magnetic nanoparticles responsible for efficient microfluidic bioseparation. A low cost generic microfluidic platform was developed using a novel micromolding method that can be done without a clean room techniques and at much lower cost and time. Parametric analysis using both experiments and theoretical predictions were performed. It was found that flow rate and magnetic field strength greatly influence the transport of magnetic nanoparticles in the microchannel and control the capturing efficiency. The results from mathematical model agree very well with experiments. The model further demonstrated that a 12% increase in capturing efficiency can be achieved by introducing of iron-grooved bar in the microfluidic setup that resulted in increase in magnetic field gradient. The numerical simulations were helpful in testing and optimizing key design parameters. Overall, this work demonstrated that a simple low cost experimental proof-of-concept setup can be synchronized with advanced numerical simulation not only to enhance the functional performance of magneto-fluidic capturing systems but also to efficiently design and develop microfluidic bioseparation systems for biomedical applications.

항공기 연료셀은 추락 상황에서 승무원의 생존성과 직결되는 중요 구성품으로 회전익 항공기에 적용되고 있는 내충격성 연료셀은 추락시 승무원의 생존성 향상에 큰 역할을 하고 있다. 미육군은 항공기가 처할수 있는 다양한 상황에서 연료셀이 제 기능을 발휘할 수 있도록 1960년대 초부터 MIL-DTL-27422 이라는 연료셀 개발규격을 제정하여 현재까지 적용해 오고 있다. 해당 개발규격에 규정된 시험 중에서 충돌충격시험은 연료셀의 내충격 성능을 검증하는 시험으로써, 해당 시험을 통과하는 연료셀은 생존가능 충돌환경에서 화재가 발생하지 않아 승무원의 생존성이 대폭 향상될 수 있음을 의미한다. 그러나 충돌충격시험은 작용하는 하중 수준이 너무 높기 때문에 실패 위험성이 가장 큰 시험이기도 하다. 연료셀이 해당 시험을 통과하지 못하는 경우에는 재시험을 위한 비용과 준비기간이 상당히 소요되어 항공기 개발일정에 심각한 지장을 초래할 가능성도 높다. 따라서, 연료셀 설계 초기부터 내충격성능 만족여부에 대한 예측을 위해 충돌충격시험의 수치해석을 통한 실물시험에서의 실패 가능성을 최소화해야 한다는 필요성이 제기되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 충돌모사 프로그램인 LS-DYNA에서 지원하는 유체-구조 연성해석 방법인 SPH 방법을 사용하여 연료셀 충돌충격시험 수치 모사를 수행하였다. 수치해석 조건으로 MIL-DTL-27422에서 요구하는 시험조건을 고려하였고, 실물 연료셀의 시편시험을 통해 확보한 물성데이타를 해석에 반영하였다. 그 결과로 연료셀 자체의 응력수준을 평가하고 취약부위에 대한 고찰을 수행하였다.

Objective: Dairy cattle nutrient requirement systems acknowledge amino acid (AAs) requirements in aggregate as metabolizable protein (MP) and assume fixed efficiencies of MP used for milk protein. Regulation of mammary protein synthesis may be associated with AA input and milk protein output. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nanoemulsified methionine and cysteine on the in-vitro expression of milk protein (casein) in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T cells). Methods: Methionine and cysteine were nonionized using Lipoid S 75 by high-speed homogenizer. The nanoemulsified AA particle size and polydispersity index were determined by dynamic light scattering correlation spectroscopy using a high-performance particle sizer instrument. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay was performed to determine the cytotoxicity effect of AAs with and without nanoionization at various concentrations (100 to $500{\mu}g/mL$) in mammary epithelial cells. MAC-T cells were subjected to 100% of free AA and nanoemulsified AA concentration in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium/nutrient mixture F-12 (DMEM/F12) for the analysis of milk protein (casein) expression by the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction method. Results: The AA-treated cells showed that cell viability tended to decrease (80%) in proportion to the concentration before nanogenesis, but cell viability increased as much as 90% after nanogenesis. The analysis of the expression of genetic markers related to milk protein indicated that; ${\alpha}_{s2}$-casein increased 2-fold, ${\kappa}$-casein increased 5-fold, and the amount of unchanged ${\beta}$-casein expression was nearly doubled in the nanoemulsified methionine-treated group when compared with the free-nanoemulsified methionine-supplemented group. On the contrary, the non-emulsified cysteine-administered group showed higher expression of genetic markers related to milk protein ${\alpha}_{s2}$-casein, ${\kappa}$-casein, and ${\beta}$-casein, but all the genetic markers related to milk protein decreased significantly after nanoemulsification. Conclusion: Detailed knowledge of factors, such nanogenesis of methionine, associated with increasing cysteine and decreasing production of genetic markers related to milk protein (casein) will help guide future recommendations to producers for maximizing milk yield with a high level of milk protein casein.

In this study, Pt/Pd (1.1), PtPd (2:1) and PtPd (3:1) binary catalysts and Pt/Ru/Pd (5:4:1) ternary catalyst were designed. The catalysts were synthesized by impregnation method using $NaBH_4$ as a reducing agent. A good catalyst for methanol oxidation requires low on-set potential, stable durability and low activation energy. In order to investigate the catalytic activity for the methanol oxidation, electrochemical measurements such as cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry were peformed in sulfuric acid with/without methanol solution. In order to calculate the activation energy of the reaction, electrochemical measurements were also tested at different temperatures. For investigation of the structural analysis such as particle size and alloying, X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis were used. In order to identify the role of the Pd and to determine the composition of the surface of the Pt/Pd nanoparticles, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was investigated. The XPS spectra of Pd showed that Pd appears only as a metallic state in the binary catalysts. The chemical states of Pt in PtPd catalysts are both metallic and oxidative. Polarization curves and power density data were obtained by testing the DMFC unit cell performance of PtPd and PtRuPd catalysts. These data showed that Pt/Pd (2:1) and Pt/Ru/Pd (5:4:1) have better performance than Pt and Pt/Ru, respectively.

파이썬은 다른 정적 언어(예, C, C++, FORTRAN 등)에 비해 실행 속도가 느리기 때문에 대규모 반복이 필요한 지구동역학 코드를 작성하는데 적합하지 않은 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 파이썬의 계산 속도를 향상시키기 위해 Just-In-Time (JIT) 컴파일 등과 같은 많은 고속화 수단이 개발되었다. 우리는 파이썬을 기반으로 JIT 컴파일러에 최적화된 맨틀 유동 지구동역학 코드를 개발했다. 코드는 지구동역학 분야에서 널리 사용되는 PIC (Particle-In-Cell) 방법과 유한요소법을 결합하여 맨틀 대류를 수치 모사하며, 코드의 신뢰성을 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 잘 알려진 2차원 맨틀 대류 문제를 벤치마킹했다. 수치 모사 결과, 제곱근 평균 제곱 속도와 넛셀 수가 이전 연구와 거의 일치함을 확인했다. JIT 컴파일러를 적용한 코드는 적용하지 않았을 경우와 대비해 계산 속도가 PIC 방법에서 최대 258배, 전체 행렬 조립 과정에서 최대 30배 향상했다. 따라서, 이번 연구는 파이썬의 계산 성능이 JIT 등의 가속기를 이용하여 충분히 향상되며, 많은 지구 동역학 문제를 해결하는데 활용될 수 있음을 제시하였다.

Fexofenadine HCl is non-sedating histamine H1 receptor antagonist that can be used for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the carriers of deformable liposomes can enhance the transepithelial permeability of fexofenadine HCl across the in vitro ALI human nasal monolayer model. Characterization of this model was achieved by bioelectric measurements and morphological studies. The passage 2 and 3 of cell monolayers exhibited the TEER value of $2852\;{\pm}\;482\;ohm\;{\times}\;cm^2$ on 11 days of seeding and maintained high TEER value for 5 days. The deformable liposome of fexofenadine HCl was prepared with phosphatidylcholine (PC) and cholic acid using extruder method. The mean particle size was about 200 nm and the maximum entrapment efficiency of 33.0% was obtained in the formulation of 1% PC and $100\;{\mu}g/ml$ fexofenadine HCl. The toxicity of the deformable liposome to human nasal monolayers was evaluated by MTT assay and TEER value change. MTT assay showed that it has no toxic effect on the nasal epithelial cells in 2-hour incubation when the PC concentration was below 1%. However, deformable liposome could not enhance the transepithelial permeability $(P_{app})$ and cellular uptake of fexofenadine HCl. In conclusion, the in vitro model could be used in nasal drug transport studies and evaluation of transepithelial permeability of formulations.
