Interfacil charge approximations and structures at doped semiconductor interfaces were proposed. Rectifying phenomena at the III-V compound semiconductor (p-GaP, p-InP, n-GaAs)/$CsNO_3$ aqueous electrolyte interfaces were qualitatively analyzed in terms of their cyclic current-voltage characteristics. The current-voltage characteristic curves, the ion adsorption and potential barrier processes at the semiconductor interfaces were verified using continuous cyclic voltammetric methods. The pn or np junction structures and the related rectifying types at the doped semi-condudtor-electrolyte inferfaces are determined by the space charges.

This experiment was conducted to test the suitability of various organic materials in order to reduce the use dependence of peatmoss as a soil pH regulator and to examine the effect of soil organic matter supply. A 2-year old northern-highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) 'Duke' plants were planted in the field at $2.0m{\times}2.5m$ spacing in spring. Before planting, organic materials were incorporated into the soil including the planting hole at 20 liter per plant, as the following mixtures: peatmoss only (20 L), peatmoss (10 L) + pine needle (10 L, PN), peatmoss (10 L) + rice hull (10 L, RH), and peatmoss (10 L) + sawdust (10 L, SD). The pH of organic materials was lowest in peatmoss (pH 4.3), followed by PN (pH 4.8), SD (pH 5.7) and RH (pH 7.8). Soil pH measured right after planting ranged from 5.3 to 5.9 and was lower in PM only and PM + PN than PM + RH and SD treatments. In the third year, the pH lowered to the range of 4.2 to 4.5, with PM and PM + PN still maintaining lower values. The early growth was good in the mixed treatment of PM and PN, and the plant height and width and the number of new shoots were good in the PM treatment. Soil water content was maintained highest in PM + PN, followed by PM, PM + SD and PM + RH. Vegetative growth was maintained better in PM and PM + PN, and the number of flower cluster and yield were also slightly higher in those treatments while mean fruit weight was similar among all treatments. Fruit quality indices such as total soluble solids, titratable acidity and firmness were not affected.

Indoor location estimation studies are needed in various fields. The method of estimating the indoor position can be divided into a method using hardware and a method using no hardware. The use of hardware is more accurate, but has the disadvantage of hardware installation costs. Conversely, the non-hardware method is not costly, but it is less accurate. To estimate the location for AR game, you need to get the solution of the Perspective-N-Point (PnP). To obtain the PnP problem, we need three-dimensional coordinates of the space in which we want to estimate the position and images taken in that space. The position can be estimated through six pairs of two-dimensional coordinates matching the three-dimensional coordinates. To further increase the accuracy of the solution, we proposed the use of an additional non-coplanarity degree to determine which points would increase accuracy. As the non-coplanarity degree increases, the accuracy of the position estimation becomes higher. The advantage of the proposed method is that it can be applied to all existing location estimation methods and that it has higher accuracy than hardware estimation.

Lipozyme TL IM-catalyzed esterification was carried out to produce functional hard fat (structured lipid, SL) using palm stearin (PS) and hydrolysate of pomegranate seed oil (HPSO) of 1:6 molar ratio. HPSO contained conjugated linolenic acid (CLnA, about 80%). The reaction was performed at non-solvent system and solvent (n-hexane) system using Lipozyme TL IM (10% of total substrates, w/w) for 12, 24, and 72 hr in a shaking water bath ($55^{\circ}C$ and 185 rpm), respectively. SL synthesized in non-solvent system (NH-SL) and SL synthesized in n-hexane system (H-SL) were refined after deacidification, respectively. Their physicochemical properties were compared to obtain desirable functional hard fat. The content of CLnA in NH-SL increased from 34.38% to 40.63% with increasing reaction time. Similar results also observed in H-SL resulting in 36.81~45.83% of CLnA. In triacylglycerol (TAG) composition, the main molecules of LnLnLn (Ln=linolenic acid, PN=36) and the LnLnP (P=palmitic acid, PN=40) were newly synthesized in NH-SL and H-SL with increasing reaction time. After 72 hr reaction, iodine values of NH-SL (136.49) and H-SL (140.37) showed high values because of the high content of CLnA. Solid fat index (SFI) in NH-SL was higher than that in H-SL at each measured temperature. The predominant polymorphic forms of NH-SL and H-SL obtained after esterification for 72 hr were the desirable crystalline structure of the ${\beta}$' form.

Oxidative stress can play a key role in cadmium (Cd)-induced dysfunction. The present study examined the effect of pine needle water extract (PN) on Cd-induced oxidative stress in rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were divided into three groups: normal group, Cd control group (Cd) and PN-administered Cd group (Cd-PN). $CdCl_2$ in 0.9% NaCl was administered orally with a dose of 5mg/kg of body weight/week, while the PN was administered orally with a dose of 1.26g/kg of body weight/day. Body weight gain was not different between groups, whereas food intakes were significantly lower in the Cd-PN group than in normal or Cd group. Relative liver weight was significantly increased by cadmium administration compared to the normal group. Hepatic cytochrome P450 was significantly lower in Cd and Cd-PN groups than in normal group, while xanthine oxidase and alcohol dehydrogenase activities were significantly higher in the Cd-PN group than in normal or Cd group. Increased hepatic superoxide dismutase, monoamine oxidase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase activities by cadmium administration were significantly decreased by PN supplement. PN did not affect the hepatic glutathione content in cadmium-administered rats; however, PN significantly lowered the hepatic lipid peroxide level and plasma alanine transferase activity compared to the Cd control group. These results suggest that the PN may alleviate Cd-induced oxidative stress without hepatotoxicity.

On the analysis of triacylglycerol (TG) from the kernels of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus by reversed phase-HPLC, it was separated into three main fractions of PN 44, 46 and 48, according to partition number (PN). On the contrary, it could be clearly classified into seven fractions of SMM, MMM, SMD, MMD, SDD, MDD and MDT by silver ion-HPLC by the number of double bond in the acyl chains of TG species. But resolution of so-called critical pairs of TG molecular species such as molecular pairs of $P_eLL$ $[C_{18:1{\omega}12}/(C_{18:2{\omega}6)2}]$ and OLL $[C_{18:1{\omega}9}/(C_{18:2{\omega}6)2}]$ and OOL $[(C_{18:1{\omega}9)2}/C_{18:2{\omega}6]$, and $P_eP_eL$ $[(C_{18:2{\omega}12)2}/C_{18:1{\omega}6]$ was not achieved $(P_e;$ petroselinic acid, L; linoleic acid, O; oleic acid). On the other hand, TG extracted from Aralia continentalis kernels were also fractionated into seven groups of SSM, SMM, MMM, SMD, MMD, SDD and MDD (S; saturated acid, M; monoenoic acid, D; dienoic acid) by silver ion-HPLC, although it's were classified into three groups of PN 44, 46 and 48 by reversed phase-HPLC. The fractions of SMM, MMM, MMD and MDD were divided into two subfractions, respectively; the fractions of SMM, MMM, MMD and MDD were resolved into the subfraction of $PP_e/P_e$ and POO (critical pairs from each other), that of $P_e/P_e/P_e$ and OOO, that of $P_e/P_e/L$ and OOL, and that of $P_e/L/L$ and OLL.

A back projection algorithm is applied to 216 Pn travel time measurements to image lateral variations of compressional velocity in the uppermost mantle in the Korean Peninsula. We obtained an average P-velocity value for the uppermost mantle of $7.90{\pm}0.18km/sec$, and an average mantle P-velocity gradient of $5.3{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}$ for the Korean Peninsula. The final 3-D velocity image in the uppermost mantle is characterized by a low-velocity (about $7.77{\pm}0.12km/sec$) region in the southeast area of the Korean peninsula, which is called 'Kyongsang Basin' and by high-velocity(${\geq}8.08km/sec$) region in the northern area of the Korean Peninsula(Hamkyong and Pyongan provinces). The crustal thicknesses are calculated for the 10 subregions. The crustal thickness of the northern part(${\geq}39^{\circ}N$) of the Korean Peninsula is 33.0-36.0 km, on the contrary, that of the southern part(< $39^{\circ}N$) is 30.7~33.7 km. The velocity image obtained in this study is somewhat consistent with previous S-P travel time studies and gravity studies.

A new droop control method which can be applied to 3-phase 4-wire uninterruptible power supply is proposed in this paper. The droop control method for parallel operation is very attractive one as UPS parallel operation can be carried out without any data communication devices provided among UPS systems connected, but it reportedly shows a PnP(plug-and-play) problem. A basic reason why a circulating current could flow among parallel-connected UPS systems is clearly investigated as well when droop-controlled-ups systems are operated in the manner of PnP. The proposed algorithm is deduced from the investigated result and is basically structured to keep a balanced frequency and balanced voltage profile against power variation. This paper shows that balanced parallel operation of droop control method can be obtained under unbalanced load as well as balanced load conditions when PnP operation is needed and load change occurs.

NiO는 니켈 공공과 침입형 산소 이온에 의한 비화학적양론 특성 때문에 자발적으로 p-형 반도체 특성을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. NiO는 3.7 eV 의 넓은 밴드갭을 가지고 있어 투명소자를 위한 hole injection layer 나 hole transport layer로 사용하기 위한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 또한, 안정적인 p-형 반도체 특성은 n-형 산화물 반도체와의 접합을 통해 복합소자의 구현이 용이하기 때문에, ZnO 등과의 접합을 통한 소자 구현이 가능하다.[1] 하지만, 기존의 많은 연구에서는 내부의 결함이 많이 존재하는 다결정 박막을 사용하였기 때문에, 전하의 이동에 제한이 발생해, 충분한 소자 특성을 나타내지 못하였다. 최근 Dutta의 연구에 의하면, 결정질 사파이어 기판위에 박막을 성장할 경우 [111] 방향으로 우선 배향성을 가진 NiO 박막을 얻을 수 있다고 알려져 있다.[2] 본 실험에서는 NiO 박막을 이용한 PN 접합소자 구현을 위해 사파이어 위에 p-NiO 박막을 에피택셜하게 성장한 후 구조적 특성을 분석하였으며, n-ZnO 박막을 그 위에 성장하여 소자를 제작하였다. 그 결과 ZnO 또한 에피택셜한 성장을 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 성장순서에 따른 PN 접합구조 특성을 확인하기 위해 사파이어 위에 ZnO 를 성장시킨 후 NiO 를 성장시킨 결과 NiO 박막의 우선성장 방향이 [100]으로 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

3-5족 화합물 반도체를 이용한 집광형 삼중 접합 태양전지는 35% 이상의 광변환 효율로 주목을 받고 있다. 일반적으로 삼중 접합 태양전지는 넓은 영역대의 파장을 흡수하기 위해 밴드갭이 다른 InGaP, GaAs, Ge이 사용된다. 그 중 하부셀은 기계적 강도가 높고 장파장을 흡수할 수 있는 Ge이 사용되는데, p-type Ge 기판위에 III-V 결정막 성장 시 5족 원소가 확산되어 pn접합을 형성하게 된다. 이러한 구조를 가진 Ge 하부셀이 효율적으로 홀-전자 쌍을 형성하기 위해서는 두꺼운 베이스와 얇은 에미터 접합이 필요하다. InGaP의 phosphorus는 낮은 확산계수로 인해 GaAs의 arsenic에 비해 얇은 접합이 형성 가능하며, Ge표면 에칭효과가 더 적다는 장점이 있다. 이를 고려해 우리 연구그룹에서는 metalorganic chemical vapor depostion(MOCVD)을 이용하여 Ge기판위에 성장한 InGaP layer의 특성을 관찰해 보았다. <111>로 $6^{\circ}$ 기울어진 p-type Ge(100) 기판위에 MOCVD를 통해 InGaP layer를 형성하였고, 성장된 layer를 atomic force microscope(AFM)와 high-resolution x-ray diffraction(HRXRD)을 이용하여 표면형상, 조성, 응력상태 등을 각각 관찰하였다. 또한 phosphorus 확산에 의해 형성되는 도핑농도는 electrochemical capacitance-voltage(ECV)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 성장된 Ge기판위의 InGaP layer의 경우 특징적으로 높이 50 nm, 밑변 길이 $1\;{\mu}m$의 경사진 표면을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 이러한 구조는 TMIn과 TMGa의 비율이 증가 할수록 감소하였다. 따라서 이러한 경사진 형태의 구조는 격자 불일치 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 추가적으로 V/III ratio의 최적화를 통해 1.3 nm의 표면 거칠기를 갖는 InGaP layer를 얻을 수 있었다. ECV를 통해 Ge 하부셀의 pn접합 형성을 관찰한 결과 약 160 nm에서 접합이 형성되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 같은 성장 조건의 샘플을 1000 초 열처리 후에 접합깊이의 변화를 관찰한 결과 180 nm에서 접합이 관찰되었지만, GaAs의 arsenic에 의한 pn접합은 열처리 후에 그 깊이가 170 nm에서 300 nm로 증가 하였다. 따라서 삼중접합 태양전지의 제작 공정을 고려할 경우 phosphorus에 의한 접합 형성이 Ge 하부셀의 동작 특성에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
