In a rolling wire probe, a key component of an inspection apparatus for PDP electrode patterns, the electric performance of it is known to be strongly dependent on the surface condition of a collet pin, a needle pin, and a wire. However, the collet and needle pins rotate very rapidly in contact with each other, which results in the degradation of the surface by the heat and friction and finally the formation of black wear marks on the surface after a several hundred hours test. Once the black wear marks appear on the surface, the electric resistance of the probe increases sharply and so the integrity of the probe is severely damaged. In this experiment, TiN coating, which has excellent electric conductances and good wear-resistance, has been applied on the surface of collect and needle pins for preventing the surface damages. In order to achieve the homogeneous coating with a good adhesion property, special coating substrate stages and jigs were designed and applied during coating. TiN has been deposited using 99.999% Titanium target by a DC reactive sputtering method. According to the components and jigs, processing parameters, such as DC power, RF bias and the flow rate ratio of Ar and N$_2$ used as reactive gases, has been controlled to obtain good TiN films. Detailed problems and solutions for applying the new substrate stages and jigs will be discussed.

Aiphatic diester monomer, 3-[(benzyloxycarbonylamino)butyl]-1,4-dioxane-2,5-dione (BABD), was synthesized with the N-$\varepsilon$-benzyloxy-carbonyl-L-lysine as starting material. This monomer was synthesized to add the functionality to poly(lactic acid)s. BABD unit was successfully incorporated into the PLLA chain which was confirmed by $^1H$ NMR. The copolymer composition could be controlled by the feed ratios of monomer. The $M_n$ of this resultant polymer is expected to reach high molecular weight after the purification of monomer and optimization of polymerization time, though the polymer showed relatively low degree of polymerization ($M_n$＝3300). The copolymer is expected to possess the enhanced hydrophilicity and the possibility of chemical modification on amino group.

The device performances of N-channel Tunneling FET have been characterized with different intrinsic length between drain and gate($L_{in}$), drain and source doping, permittivity and oxide thickness when the total effective channel length is constant. N-channel Tunneling FET of SOI structure have been used in characterization. $L_{in}$ was from 30nm to 70nm, dose concentration of drain and source were from $2{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$ to $2{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$ and from $1{\times}10^{14}cm^{-2}$ to $3{\times}10^{15}cm^{-2}$, permittivity was from 3.9 to 29, and oxide thickness was from 3nm to 9nm. The device performances were characterized by Subthreshold slope(S-slope), On/off ratio, and leakage current. From the simulation results, the leakage current have been reduced for long $L_{in}$ and low drain doping. S-slope have been reduced for high source doping, high permittivity and thin oxide thickness. With considering the leakage current and S-slope, it is desirable that are long $L_{in}$, low drain doping, high source doping, high permittivity and thin oxide thickness to optimize device performance in n-channel Tunneling FET.

Second-order rate constants $(k_N)$ have been measured for reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl phenyl carbonate (2) with a series of pyridines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$ and compared with the $k_N$ values reported for the corresponding reactions of 2,4-dinitrophenyl benzoate (1) to investigate the effect of nonleaving group on reactivity and mechanism. The reactions of 2 result in larger $k_N$ values than those of 1. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the reactions of 2 exhibits a downward curvature (i.e., ${\beta}2$ = 0.84 and ${\beta}1$ = 0.16), which is typical for reactions reported to proceed through a stepwise mechanism with a change in rate-determining step. The $pK_a$ at the center of the Br${\o}$nsted curvature, defined as $pK_a{^{\circ}}$, has been found to be 8.5 and 9.5 for the reactions of 2 and 1, respectively. Dissection of $k_N$ into the microscopic rate constants (e.g., $k_1$ and $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio) has revealed that the reactions of 2 result in larger k1 values than those of 1, indicating that PhO behaves as a stronger electron-withdrawing group than Ph. However, the $k_2/k_{-1}$ ratio has been found to be independent of the electronic nature of Ph and PhO.

Non-aggregated nanoscale $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ powders were prepared successfully by polyacrylamine (PAA) gel method. The method was very simple and polymer network inhibited the aggregate of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ powders. In this investigation, nanoparticles of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ with a diameter of about 8-15 nm were fabricated by calcining the gel precusors with various concentrations of aluminum sulfate, acrylamide and N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide (BIS) in air at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The molar ratio of aluminum sulfate to acrylamide did not have any influence on the size of particles. On the other hand, as the molar ratio of BIS to acrylamide increased, the size of nanoparticles decreased.

This study was conducted to investigate the efficacy of using a coating of gelatin extracted from refiner discharge to extend the shelf life of salmon during cold storage ($5^{\circ}C$). Relative percentage of moisture loss in gelatin-coated salmon during cold storage was less than that of uncoated salmon. The treatment of salmon with gelatin reduced volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) formation throughout the entire storage period. Measurements of the peroxide value (POV), fatty acid composition, and (20:5n-3+22:6n-3)/16:0 ratio during cold storage indicated that the coating of salmon with gelatin from refiner discharge effectively suppressed lipid oxidation over the entire storage period. The extent of sensory color change during cold storage was less in the gelatin-coated than in the uncoated salmon. From the results of chemical measurements, such as relative moisture content, VBN, POV, fatty acid composition, (20:5n-3+22:6n-3)/16:0 ratio, and sensory color change, the conclusion was made that the coating treatment of salmon with refiner discharge gelatin effectively suppressed moisture loss, lipid oxidation, and color deterioration over the entire storage period.

In this study, the $SO_2$ addition effect on NOx removal has been conducted from a combustion flue gases by the do corona discharge-activated radical shower systems. The simulated flue gases were consisted of NO-O_2-$N_2$, NO-$CO_2-N_2-O_2$ and $NO-SO_2-CO_2-Na-O_2$([NO]o:200ppm and $[SO_2]o$:800ppm). The injection gases used as radical source gases were $NH_3$-Ar-air. $SO_2$ and NOx removal efficiency and the other by-products were measured by Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) as well as $SO_2$. NOx and $NO_2$ gas detectors. By-product aerosol particles were also observed by Condensation Nucleation Particle Counter(CNPC) and SEM images after sampling. The results showed that asignificant aerosol Particle formation was observed during a removal operation in corona radical shower systems. The NOx removal efficiency significantly increased with increasing applied voltage and $NH_3$ molecule ratio. The $SO_2$ removal efficiency was not significantly effected by applied voltage and slightly increased with increasing $NH_3$ molecule ratio. The NOx removal efficiency for NO-$SO_2-CO_2-N_2-O_2$ was better than that for NO-$CO_2-N_2-O_2$.

Binary offset carrier (BOC) signal synchronization is one of the most important steps to recover the transmitted information in global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) including Galileo and global positioning system (GPS). Generally, BOC signal synchronization is based on the correlation between the received and locally generated BOC signals. Thus, the multiple side-peaks in BOC autocorrelation are one of the main error sources in synchronizing BOC signals. Recently, a novel correlation function with reduced side-peaks was proposed for BOC signal synchronization by Julien [8]; however, Julien's correlation function not only still has the side-peaks, but also is only applicable to sine phased BOC(n, n), where n is the ratio of the pseudo random noise (PRN) code rate to 1.023 MHz. In this paper, we propose a new correlation function for BOC signal synchronization, which does not have any side-peaks and is applicable to general types of BOC signals, sine/cosine phased BOC(kn, n), where k is the ratio of a PRN chip duration to the period of a square wave sub-carrier used in BOC modulation. In addition, an efficient correlator structure is presented for generating the proposed correlation function.

Properties of thermoelectric power in PbS thin films by chemical bath deposition were investigated The qualified PbS thin film was gained with the amounts of Thiourea($4-8ml/{\ell}$ ), Triethanolamine (1-2ml) and NaOH(l0ml). The molecular ratio of Pb and S was 3 : 7. Satisfied crystallization rate and deposition rate of PbS were greater at $50^{\circ}C$ than at $30^{\circ}C$. The constant of thermoelectric power in PbS was nearly $ 500uv/^{\circ}k$. The PbS thin film was changed from p-type to n-type semiconductor at around $200^{\circ}C$. In case of heat treatment at $300^{\circ}C$, the sample kept the characteristic of p-type semiconductors up to $250^{\circ}C$.

The effect of initial concentration of ammonium ion ($N_0$) and active nitrifiers ($X_0$) on nitrification was examined by continuous monitoring of the ammonium removal rate. The concentration of the active nitrifiers in the culture sludge, measured by the oxygen uptake rate (OUR), was found to be 42.8% of the culture sludge. Experiments were carried out under different ratios of $N_0/X_0$, viz., 0.025 to 0.493. The results from this study show that the oxidation rate was similar under the same $N_0/X_0$ ratio despite different initial concentration of ammonium ion ($N_0$) and active nitrifiers ($X_0$). Moreover, the Contois kinetic expression which includes biomass concentration, was found to describe the mechanism behind nitrification process. The ammonium oxidation rate ($q_{Nmax}$) and half saturation constant per unit activated nitrifiers ($K_N{^{\prime}}$) were theoretically determined using the Contois expression. These values were found to be 4.32 gN/gVSS/day and 0.013 gN/gVSS respectively.
