The present study examines the phosphate adsorption potential and behavior of mixture of Ground Burnt Patties (GBP), a solid waste generated from cooking fuel used in earthen stoves and Red Soil (RS), a natural substance in fixed bed column mode operation. The characterization of adsorbent was done by Proton Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE), and Proton Induced ${\gamma}$-ray Emission (PIGE) methods. The FTIR spectroscopy of spent adsorbent reveals the presence of absorbance peak at $1127cm^{-1}$ which appears due to P = O stretching, thus confirming phosphate adsorption. The effects of bed height (10, 15 and 20 cm), flow rate (2.5, 5 and 7.5 mL/min) and initial phosphate concentration (5 and 15 mg/L) on breakthrough curves were explored. Both the breakthrough and exhaustion time increased with increase in bed depth, decrease in flow rate and influent concentration. Thomas model, Yoon-Nelson model and Modified Dose Response model were used to fit the column adsorption data using nonlinear regression analysis while Bed Depth Service Time model followed linear regression analysis under different experimental condition to evaluate model parameters that are useful in scale up of the process. The values of correlation coefficient ($R^2$) and the Sum of Square Error (SSE) revealed the Modified Dose Response model as the best fitted model to the experimental data. The adsorbent mixture responded effectively to the desorption and reusability experiment. The results of this finding advocated that mixture of GBP and RS can be used as a low cost, highly efficient adsorbent for phosphate removal from aqueous solution.

Standby power, so called an electric vampire, is a power which is consumed by appliances and office equipments connected to power sources while the devices are not performing. Sensor luminaires consist of PIR(Pyroelectric Infrared Ray) sensor, illuminance sensor(CdS), and light source. The sensor luminaires are one of the devices that consume a huge amount of standby power; it stands by for an average sum of 23 hours a day and performs only when moving subjects are detected under it, which barely takes up an hour per day. The purpose of this study is to provide basic materials to the selection of standby power items and to enable to explore a way to decrease the standby power by measuring and analyzing the power consumption of sensor luminaires. According to the results, the average standby power of LED sensor luminaires is 1.1W which is significantly higher than other products, and decrease in the standby power consumption of SMPS is important through the measurement.

Taq DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has been shown to be very useful in the polymerase chain reaction method, which is being used for amplifying DNA. Not only does Taq DNA polymerase have high commercial value commercial value for the polymerase chain reaction application, but it is also important in studying DNA replication, because it is apparently an homologue to E. coli DNA polymerase I, which has long been used for DNA replication study (Lawyer et ai., 1993). The crystal structure determination of Taq DNA polymerase was initiated. An X-ray diffraction pattern breaks down a crystal structure into discrete sine waves in a Fourier series. The original shape of a crystal object in terms of electron density may be represented as the sum of those sine waves with varying amplitudes and phases in three dimensions. The molecular replacement method was initially employed to provide phase information for the structure of Taq DNA polymerase. The rotation search using the program MERLOT resulted in a solution peak with 5.4 r.m.s. PC-refinement of the X-PLOR program verified the result and also optimized the orientation angles. Next, the translation search using the X-PLOR program resulted in a unique solution peak with 7.35 r.m.s. In addition, the translation search indicated $P3_121$ to be the true space group out of two possible ones. The phase information from the molecular replacement was useful in the MIR phasing experiment.

We present characteristics of hydrothermal chlorite and its interstratification with 7-$\AA$ mineral phase that occur in the propylitic alteration zone of the Bobae sericite deposit formed in rhyodacitic tuff. Chlorite is found as disseminated fine-grained aggregate or replacement materials of precursor minerals such as Fe-oxides and amphibole. Based on X-ray diffraction(XRD), all chlorites belong to IIb polytype and the (060) reflections averaging $1.53~1.54\AA$ indicate a trioctahedral structure. Chemical compositions of chlorite show that the Fe/(Fe+Mg) values are mostly in the range of 0.44~0.53, and cation deficiencies in octahedral sites range from 0.06 to 0.37. Under scanning electron microscope(SEM) chlorite occurs as well-crystallized aggregates and is subparallely stacked in interstices or between grain boundaries of associated minerals. transmission electron microscopic(TEM) images reveal that chlorite shows regular layers with $14-\AA$ spacings, locally interstratified with $7-\AA$ or $21-\AA$ periodicities. The $21- \AA$ periodicity corresponds to the sum of the $d_{001}$ values of chlorite and $7-\AA$ phase. The chlorite packet coexisting with 7-$\AA$ layers displays abundant defects such as edge dislocations and layer terminations. Selected-area electron diffraction(SAED) indicates that chlorite and $7-\AA$ phase are randomly interstratified in the mixed-layer areas. We propose a lateral change of layers for the polymorphic transition of $7-\AA$ phase to chlorite.e.

We have employed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique to examine the combined effects of low-energy electron (LEE) irradiation and $Fe^{3+}$ ion on DNA damage. pBR322 plasmid DNA extracted from E. coli ER2420 was used for preparing DNA-$Fe^{3+}$ sample. The C1s XPS spectra were scanned for LEE-irradiated and LEE-unirradiated samples and then curve-fitted. For the samples with LEE irradiation only or with Fe ion only, no significant changes from pure DNA samples were observed - a single effect of either $Fe^{3+}$ ion or LEE irradiation did not cause a significant damage. However, when these two components were combined, the DNA damage was increased quite significantly, compared to the sum of DNA damages caused by $Fe^{3+}$ ion and by LEE irradiation independently. This observation is consistent with our previous results [Radiat. Res. 177, 775 (2012)] which was done using gel-electrophoresis technique. Partial interpretation of the observed spectrum peaks was also attempted.

파장 13nm의 연 X-선을 사용하여 초고밀도 반도체 칩을 네작할 수 있는 고분해능의 투사 결상용 2-반사경계(배율=1)을 설계하였다. 등배율(1:1)의 광학계는 holosymmetric system으로 구성하였을 때 코마와 왜곡수차가 완전히 제거되는 이점을 갖는다. 2-반사경 holosymmetric system에서 추가적으로 구면수차를 제거하기 위해 두 반사경을 동일한 포물면으로 만들고 두 반사경 사이 거리를 조절하여 비점수차와 Petzval 합이 상쇄되게 함으로써 상면만곡 수차를 보정하였다. 이렇게 구한 aplanat flat-field 포물면 2-반사경 holosymmetric system은 크기가 작고 광축회전대칭의 간단한 구조를 가지면 중앙부 차폐가 아주 작다는 특징을 갖고 있다. 이 반사경계에 대해 잔류 수차, spot diagrams, 회절효과가 고려된 NTF의 분석 등을 통해 연 X-선 리소그라피용 투사 광학계로서의 성능이 조사된 결과, $0.25\mum$및. $0.18\mum$의 해상도가 얻어지는 상의 최대 크기가 각각 4.0mm, 2.5mm로 구해졌고 초점심도는 각각 $2.5.\mu$m, $2.4.\mum$로 얻어졌다. 그러므로 이 반사경계는 256Mega DRAM 및 1Giga DRAM의 반도체 칩 제작의 연구에 응용될 수 있다.

실제 해양에서 음파는 해수면/해저면의 거친 경계면이나 기포층/어군과 같이 불규칙적으로 분포된 체적에 의해 산란 되며, 잔향음 신호는 이러한 산란 신호의 합으로 형성된다. 실측된 잔향음 신호를 정확하게 모의하기 위해서는 각 산란 메커니즘에 적합한 산란 모델을 음파 전달 손실 모델과 결합시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 산란 모델과 결합이 용이한 음선 이론을 기반으로 잔향음 모델을 개발하였다. 개발된 잔향음 모델은 (1) 해수면에 대한 산란 신호로 실험 기반의 Chapman-Harris 식과 이론 기반의 APL-UW/SSA 모델, (2) 해저면에 대해서는 실험 기반의 Lambert 법칙과 이론 기반의 APL-UW/SSA 모델을 선택적으로 사용하도록 한다. 개발된 잔향음 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해서 정상 모드법 기반으로 개발된 Ellis 모델 결과와 2006 잔향음 공동웍크�乍【� 발표된 여러 잔향음 모델 결과와 비교하였다. 모델간의 비교를 통해 검증된 잔향음 모델을 이용하여 한국 근해의 중주파수 대역 잔향음 신호를 모의하고, 이를 실측 데이터와 시간 영역에서 직접 비교하였다. 이러한 비교를 통해 각 해역의 해양 환경의 특성에 따라 상호 다른 잔향음 신호 경향을 고찰 할 수 있으며, 나아가 각 해역 특성을 반영하는 산란 강도 함수를 본 잔향음 모델을 통해 선정할 수 있다.

고해상의 지하 전기전도도 영상을 요하는 환경, 공학적인 적용을 위하여, 주파수영 역 전자탐사 자료를 이용한 주시 토모그래피를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 우선 변환된 파동장을 파선급수(ray series)의 합으로 근사하여 자기장으로부터 직접 파동장의 초동을 구해낼 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 그 정확성 및 적용성을 검토하였다. 균질한 무한공간에서의 자기장을 이용한 발췌결과, 잡음이 없는 자료의 경우 주파수 2개를 사용하여도 아주 정확한 발췌가 이루어져 그 타당성이 입증되었으며, 기존의 파동장으로 직접변환하는 방법과 비교한 결과 더 적은 주파수 자료를 이용하여도 더 정확한 발췌가 이루어졌다. 층서구조 및 경사진 파쇄대 구조에 대하여 초동발췌 및 반복적 비선형 토모그래피를 적용하여 만족할만한 영상을 얻었다. 그러나 전기전도도의 비율이 큰 경우는 설정한 가정에 부합되지 않아 토모그래피 영상에서 전기비저항이 낮은 층이 확대되어 나타나는 결과를 보였다. 초동발췌를 위한 시간은 하나의 송, 수신 배열에 대하여 IBM PC로 10초 내외로, 현장에서 탐사를 수행하는 도중 실시간으로 발췌가 가능하다. 또한 토모그래피 역산을 위한 시간도 약 3분 이내로 전체 송, 수신 배열에 대한 측정이 끝남과 동시에 지하의 단면 영상을 확인할 수 있어 전자탐사 토모그래피의 현장 적용성을 한층 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In the Janggun mine, stannite occurs as anhedral grains, up to 500 micrometer in long dimension, closely associated with sphalerite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, galena and rhodochrosite in the periphery of the South ore body. In reflected light, stannite is grayish yellow green in color and exhibits moderate bireflectance and strong anisotropism without any intenal reflections. Reflection; Rmax. =29.0, Rmin. =27.8 percent at a wavelength of 560nm, and VHN; 219~244kg/mm at a 50g load. The chemical composition on the average from 35 spot analyses by electron microprobe is, Cu 28.0, Fe 12.7, Zn 2.9, Mn 0.2, Sn 25.8, S 30.3, sum 99.9 (all in weight percent); the corresponding chemical formula as calculated on the basis of total atoms=8 is, Cu 1.88 Fe 0.97 Zn 0.19 Mn 0.02 Sn 0.93 S 4.01, which fulfills approximately the ideal formula of $Cu_2FeSnS_4$. The strongest reflections on the X-ray diffraction patterns are; $3.10{\AA}$ (10) (112), $2.72{\AA}$ (5) (020, 004), $1.922{\AA}$ (5) (024), $1.642{\AA}$ (3) (132), $1.244{\AA}$ (3) (143, 136, 235), $1.111{\AA}$(3) (244), $0.958{\AA}$ (1) (048, 422), the patterns are identical with those of literature. From the textural evidence of the microscopic observation, the mineral is considered to have been formed at the middle stage of hydrothermal lead-zinc-silver mineralization.

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are promising layered structure materials for next-generation nano electronic devices. Many investigation on the FET device using TMDCs channel material have been performed with some integrated approach. To use TMDCs for channel material of top-gate thin film transistor(TFT), the study on high-k dielectrics on TMDCs is necessary. However, uniform growth of atomic-layer-deposited high-k dielectric film on TMDCs is difficult, owing to the lack of dangling bonds and functional groups on TMDC's basal plane. We demonstrate the effect of remote oxygen plasma pretreatment of large area synthesized few-layer MoSe2 on the growth behavior of Al2O3, which were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using tri-methylaluminum (TMA) metal precursors with water oxidant. We investigated uniformity of Al2O3 by Atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Raman features of MoSe2 with remote plasma pretreatment time were obtained to confirm physical plasma damage. In addition, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was measured to investigate the reaction between MoSe2 and oxygen atom after the remote O2 plasma pretreatment. Finally, we have uniform Al2O3 thin film on the MoSe2 by remote O2 plasma pretreatment before ALD. This study can provide interfacial engineering process to decrease the leakage current and to improve mobility of top-gate TFT much higher.
