After a visit by Peter Waddell from the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK in 1991, Robert H. Koch launched a program at the University of Pennsylvania to build lightweight pneumatic membrane mirrors, initially for balloon flight observations where weight is at a premium. Mirror cells were fabricated from sizes 0.18 m to 1.77 m, and experiments conducted to characterize the mirror figure and stability. Most of the work stopped after Prof. Koch's retirement in 1996 until 2006 when the authors expressed an interest in building an array of medium-aperture portable telescopes. The program restarted in earnest at Gravic, Inc. in Malvern, PA in 2008 with Koch using his extensive observational astronomy experience to guide the fabrication of a fully operational 1.07 m membrane mirror telescope with an optical tube assembly weighing under 45 Kg. Residual wavefront aberrations remediation resulted in Koch and the authors investigating membrane tensioning techniques with different cell designs, active secondary wavefront correction, photometric algorithms for aberrated images, and the use of additional lightweight mirror substrates from the Alt-Az Initiative Group, such as foamed glass. The best result for the lightweight mirrors was a point spread function spot size of several arc seconds. A lightweight 1.6 m cast aluminum cell alt-az telescope was subsequently designed by Koch and the authors for prime focus use.

본 연구는 부영양화시 다량 발생하고, 독소생성의 주원인 종으로 알려진 Microcystis aeruginosa의 정수처리 중 응집공정에서 전염소처리의 영향을 조사하였다. Microcystis aeruginosa를 실험실에서 배양하여, $10^5cell/mL$가 되도록 인공시료를 만들었다. 전염소처리의 염소주입량은 각각 0.2, 1.0, 10 mg-Cl/L으로 하였고, 반응시간은 1시간과 1분으로 하였다. 응집 후 모든 시료의 탁도는 응집제를 0.4 mg-Al/L 주입한 후 매우 낮게 나타났으므로 탁도 유발물질은 염소주입량에 의한 영향이 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 염소량이 증가함에 따라 응집 후 잔류알루미늄은 감소하였고, $UV_{254}$는 증가하였다. 적당한 염소농도(1.0 mg-Cl/L)에서는 반응시간이 길어짐에 따라 $UV_{254}$가 증가하였다.

Al alloy matrix composite with TiNi shape memory fiber as reinforcement has been fabricated by hot pressing to investigate microstructures and mechanical properties. The analysis of SEM and EDS showed that the composites have shown good interface bonding. The stress-strain behavior of the composites was evaluated at temperatures between 363K and room temperature as a function of prestrain, and it showed that the yield stress at 363K was higher than that of the room temperature. Especially, the yield stress of this composite increases with increasing the amount of prestrain, and it also depends on the volume fraction of fiber and heat treatment. The smartness of the composite is given due to the shape memory effect of the TiNi fiber which generates compressive residual stress in the matrix material when heated after being prestrained. Microstructural observation has revealed that interfacial reactions occur between the matrix and fiber, creating two intermetallic layers.

With the aim to evaluate the fatigue damage accumulation and predict the residual life of engineering components under variable amplitude loadings, this paper proposed a new strain energy-based damage accumulation model by considering both effects of mean stress and load interaction on fatigue life in a low cycle fatigue (LCF) regime. Moreover, an integrated procedure is elaborated for facilitating its application based on S-N curve and loading conditions. Eight experimental datasets of aluminum alloys and steels are utilized for model validation and comparison. Through comparing experimental results with model predictions by the proposed, Miner's rule, damaged stress model (DSM) and damaged energy model (DEM), results show that the proposed one provides more accurate predictions than others, which can be extended for further application under multi-level stress loadings.

Coagulation/precipitation process has been widely used for the removal of phosphate within domestic wastewater. Although Fe and Al are typical coagulants used for phosphate removal, these have some shortages such as color problem and low sedimentation velocity. In this study, both Fe and Al were used to overcome the shortages caused by using single one, and anionic polymer coagulant was additionally used to enhance sedimentation velocity of the precipitate formed. Batch experiments using a jar test were conducted with real wastewater, which was an effluent of the second sedimentation tank in domestic wastewater treatment plant. Response Surface Methodology was used to examine the responsibility of each parameter on phosphate removal as well as to optimize the dosage of the three coagulants. Economic analysis was also done on the basis of selling prices of the coagulants in the field. Phosphate removal efficiency of Fe(III) was 30% higher than those of Fe(II). Considering chemical price, optimum dosage for achieving residual phosphate concentration below 0.2 mg/L were determined to be 18.14 mg/L of Fe(III), 2.60 mg/L of Al, and 1.64 mg/L of polymer coagulant.

To develop a recycling process of magnesium alloy scrap, a fundamental study on the distillation of magnesium alloy melt was carried out. Melt temperature, vacuum degree and reaction time were considered as experimental variables. The amount of vaporized magnesium melt per unit surface area of melt increases with the increase of melt temperature, reaction time and vacuum degree. The vapor condensed at the tip of water cooling Cu-condenser as a form of pine cone. Magnesium and zinc were vaporized easily from the melt. However, It's difficult to separate magnesium and zinc by vacuum distillation because vapor pressure of zinc is similar to one of magnesium. The contents of aluminum, manganese and iron, etc. in residual melt increase due to the decrease of magnesium and zinc content after the distillation of magnesium alloy.

The etiology and pathophysiology of delayed inflammatory reactions caused by hyaluronic acid fillers have not yet been elucidated. Previous studies have suggested that the etiology can be attributed to the hyaluronic acid filler itself, patient's immunological status, infection, and injection technique. Hyaluronic acid fillers are composed of high-molecular weight hyaluronic acids that are chemically cross-linked using substances such as 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). The mechanism by which BDDE cross-links the two hyaluronic acid disaccharides is still unclear and it may exist as a fully reacted cross-linker, pendant cross-linker, deactivated cross-linker, and residual cross-linker. The hyaluronic acid filler also contains impurities such as silicone oil and aluminum during the manufacturing process. Impurities can induce a foreign body reaction when the hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the body. Aseptic hyaluronic acid filler injections should be performed while considering the possibility of biofilm formation or delayed inflammatory reaction. Delayed inflammatory reactions tend to occur when patients experience flu-like illnesses; thus, the patient's immunological status plays an important role in delayed inflammatory reactions. Large-bolus hyaluronic acid filler injections can induce foreign body reactions and carry a relatively high risk of granuloma formation.

생분해성 고분자인 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate, PHB)를 생산하는 Alcaligenes eutrophus의 배양액에 응집제를 첨가하여 회수한 균체로부터 용매추출법 에 의한 PHB 회수와 순도에 미치는 응집제의 영향을 조사하였다. 응집제는 Al계 3종류와 Fe계 2종류를 사용하였다. 균체로부터 PHB는 30%로 희석한 hypochlorite 용액과 chloloform 혼합용액을 이용하여 추출 회수하였다. Al계 응집제들의 경우, 응집제의 첨가량이 1,000 mg-Al/L 이하의 농도에서는 PHB 회수율이 응집제를 첨가하지 않은 경우의 회수율(82%)과 거의 비슷하였고, 1000 mg-Al/L 이상의 농도에서는 응집제 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 PHB 회수율이 감소하였다. PHB 추출에 사용한 hypochlorite 용액의 농도를 50%로 증가시키면, 응집제를 2000 mg-Al/L까지 높은 농도로 첨가하여도 90% 이상의 PHB 회수율을 얻을 수 있었다. 회수된 PHB의 순도는 응집제의 종류와 용량에 관계없이 98% 이상으로 매우 높았다. Fe계 응집제의 경우, 응집제의 용량은 PHB의 회수율에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 회수된 PHB중의 잔류 Fe의 농도가 높았고, 잔류 Fe에 의해 정제한 PHB가 엷은 적색으로 착색되었다. 세포의 회수와 PHB의 정제 공정에 적합한 응집제로는 응집효율, 잔류 Al과 Fe 및 정제 PHB의 색상 등을 고려할 때 Fe계 보다는 Al계 응집제가 적합하였다.

Poly-Monochloro-Para-Xylylene (Parylene-C)과 알루미늄 박막과의 접착력을 향상시키기 위하여 Duoplasmatron 이온원을 이용하여 발생시킨 아르곤 이온과 산소 이온을 Parylene-C 표면에 각각 조사하였다. 이온조사 시 이온에너지는 1 kV로 고정하였고 이온조사량은 $5{\times}10^{14}$에서 $1{\times}10^{17}/cm^2$까지 변화시켰다. 아르곤 이온과 산소 이온을 조사한 Parylene-C 박막의 물과의 접촉각은 초기 $78^{\circ}$에서 각각 $17^{\circ}$와 $9^{\circ}$까지 감소하였다. X선 광전자 스펙트럼을 이용하여 Parylene-C 표면에 이온빔 조사에 의하여 친수성 그룹이 형성되었음을 알 수 있었으며, 이 친수성 그룹들은 C-O 결합, C=O 결합 그리고 (C=O)-O 결합에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. Al 박막과 ${O_2}^+$ 이온에 의해 표면 개질된 Parylene-C 박막과의 접착력을 평가하기 위하여 cross cut tape test를 실시한 결과 접착력은 이온조사량이 증가할수록 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.
