The effectiveness of CuSCN as a hole injection layer in large-area organic light-emitting diodes, organic solar cells, and thin-film transistors has been well demonstrated. Therefore, in this study, the surface, optical, and electrical analyses of CuSCN were carried out according to the solution process conditions in order to propose optimized film conditions. Various CuSCN solution concentrations were prepared to determine the film surface characteristics and to determine whether the film surface affects the electrical performance of the device. When the CuSCN solution concentration was low, the CuSCN film was not formed and coated in the form of islands, and when the solution concentration was increased, the CuSCN film was formed uniformly, which contributed to improving the conductivity of the device. In addition, a hole-only device was fabricated to demonstrate the role of CuSCN as a hole transport layer.

Soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe; SCN) is an important soybean pest and the use of resistant cultivars is the effective method to reduce or eliminate SCN damage. However, breeding for SCN resistance is difficult and expensive by the oligogenic nature of the resistance and genetic variability in the pathogen. Fortunately, SCN resistance loci, rhg1 and Rhg4 are generally accepted as a necessity for the development of resistant genotypes using any source of resistance. In this study, resistance of 44 Korean soybean cultivars to SCN was tested using two molecular markers. Seonheukkong and Pokwangkong were the homozygous to rhg1 locus. Seven cultivars were susceptible to SCN based on Satt309 marker linked rhg1 locus. All Korean cultivars estimated in this study were recessive homozygous to Rhg4 locus and were susceptible in the PCR reaction using primer 548/563 linked to the Rhg4 locus conferring resistance to SCN race 3. Among 44 cultivars estimated, seven cultivars were susceptible to SCN in both Satt309 and primer 548/563 markers. Based on both Satt309 and primer 548/563 markers, there is no resistant cultivar to SCN in Korea. Therefore, SCN resistant cultivars need to be developed in the future. These two markers can be used for improving SCN resistant cultivars.

The reduction of Mo-thiocyanate (V) complex on dropping mercury electrode has been studied at ionic strength 0.6 with pH less than 2.3. D-C polarogram obtained from acidic solutions are reversible, diffusion controlled current. The electrode reaction of Mo-thiocyanate(V) may be represented as follows. $MoO(SCN)_3\;+\;2H^+\;+\;2e\;{\to}\;Mo(SCN)_2{^+}\;+\;H_2O\;+\;SCN^-$From this reaction, the half wave potential assumed to be $E_{1/2}\;=\;E_0'\;-\;0.059\;pH\;-\;0.03\;log{\;frac{[Mo(SCN)_2{^+}][SCN^-]}{[MoO(SCN)_3]}}$Considering the dissociation of this complex, however, it was estimated that the electrode reaction may be written by. $MoO^{+3}\;+\;3SCN^-\;+\;2H^+\;+\;2e\;{\to}\;Mo(SCN)_2{^+}\;+\;SCN^-\;+\;H_2O$.

This study proposes a supply chain network (SCN) model considering supply disruption in assembly industry. For supply disruption, supplier disruption and its route disruption are simultaneously taken into consideration in the SCN model. With the simultaneous consideration, the SCN model can achieve its flexibility and efficiency. A mathematical formulation is suggested for representing the SCN model, and a proposed hybrid genetic algorithm (pro-HGA) is used for implementing the mathematical formulation. In numerical experiment, the performance of the pro-HGA approach is compared with those of some conventional approaches using the SCN models with various scales, and a sensitivity analysis considering the change of the numbers of suppliers and backup routes is done. Experimental results show that the performances of the pro-HGA approach are superior to those of the conventional approaches, and the flexibility and efficiency of the SCN model considering supply disruption are proved. Finally, the significance of this study is summarized and a potential future research direction is mentioned in conclusion.

The soybean cyst nematode (Heterodera glycines Inchinoe; SCN) is a devastating pest of soybean and is responsible for significant losses in yield. The use of resistant cultivars is the effective method to reduce or eliminate SCN damage. The objective of this research is to identify AFLP markers linked to the SCN resistant genes. Bulked genomic DNA was made from resistant and susceptible genotypes to SCN and a total of 19 primer combinations were used. About 31 fragments were detected per primer combination. The banding patterns were readily distinguished in resistant and susceptible bulked genotypes. Polymorphic fragments were detected between resistant and susceptible bulked genotypes in the primer combination of CGT/GGC, CAG/GTG and CTC/GAG. In primer combinations of CGT/GGC and CAG/GTG, bulked resistant genotype produced a polymorphic bands. However, in primer of CTC/GAG, bulked susceptible genotype produced a polymorphic fragments. Three AFLP markers identified as a polymorphic fragments between bulked genomic DNA were mapped in 85 F2 population. Among them, only two markers, CGT/GGC and CTC/GAG, was linked and was mapped. Broad application of AFLP marker would be possible for improving resistant cultivars to SCN.

In this paper, a thermodynamic analysis was performed to provide design data for a double-effect absorption heating system with water-LiBr-LiSCN mixture which utilizes solar energy as evaporator heat source. In addition, a comparative study of the water-LiBr-LiSCN mixture against the water-LiBr pair was conducted by a computer simulation. The computer simulation is based on mass, material and heat balance equations for each part of the system. Coefficients of performance and flow ratios for effects of different operating temperatures are investigated. It is found that the heating COP is higher for the water-LiBr-LiSCN mixture than for the water-LiBr pair, and FR is lower for the former.

Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells have demonstrated a significant achievement by reaching a certified power conversion efficiency of 25.2% in 2019 as compared to that of 3.8% in 2009. However, organic hole conductors such as PTAA and spiro-OMeTAD are known to be expensive and unstable when they are exposed to operational conditions. In this study, the inorganic hole conductor CuSCN was used to overcome such concerns. The influence of dipropyl sulfide (DPS) and diethyl sulfide (DES) as CuSCN deposition solvents on the underlying perovskite active layer was investigated. DES solvent was observed to be advantageous in terms of CuSCN solubility and mild for the perovskite layer, thereby resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 16.9%.

This research was conducted as a part of continuous development of a bioprocess to treat thiocyanate($SCN^-$) in the leachate from an industrial landfill site. Detailed characteristics of the leachate, physical and chemical, was analyzed in this study. Time to reach equilibrium in $SCN^-$ degradation at different temperature, similar to the annual variation. was investigated for posssible adaptation of the bioprocess in the treatment site. Complete mineralization of $SCN^-$ to ammonia. bicarbonate and sulfate at all temperature range with except $5^{\circ}C$ trial was observed with different time elapsed to reach equilibrium. which shortened as the process of Fill-Draw proceeded. The final metabolites were mainly nitrate and sulfate. No fouling odor was detected and the settling characteristic of the biomass after the treatment was good(i.e., sludge volume index(SVI) ${\le}$80). Using MWT sludge as an inoculum showed better performance with respect to the elapsed time for treatment and sedimentation characteristics than those of using 2BET sludge.

We have identified and analyzed the 5'-coding region of SCN5A gene in Korean genome. Although its sequence has already been reported in western countries it is still important to confirm our own sequence for the establishment of Korean-suitable diagnosis on genetic basis. Total RNAs were obtained from three healthy Korean adult hearts and reversely transcribed. RT products were then subjected to PCR reaction followed by DNA sequencing. Three different sets of SCN5A primers were designed and used for the amplification of 5'-coding region of SCN5A from Korean genome. Amplified sequence was roughly one-10th of the entire SCN5A mRNA in size and its detailed sequence was completely matched up to the previously reported sequence. There was no difference between three heart samples, either. So, SCN5A was concluded as the relatively stable gene comparing to other genes that are involved in long QT syndrome.

This paper aims to analyze the rise and decline of Seattle Community Network(briefly SCN), an electronic community network based upon Seattle, U.S. from the perspective of 'social shaping of technology' theory rather than that of technological determinism That is, this paper focuses on the social processes of the evolution of SCN. And this paper considers SCN as one important element of the 'network society', a concept manufactured by Manuel Castells. SCN was built successfully over 10 years ago by some progressive local activists and volunteers. The main purpose of building SCN at that time was said to make local community stronger with the help of advanced information technology. This can be understood that the founders of SCN tried to shape the direction of network society development based on civil society's values including public access and commitment to democracy rather than those of private companies. After some years of successful working, however, SCN started to decline. The expansion of internet services and the booming of dot.com companies in the late 90's were the main factors that made SCN decline. In conclusion, it can be said that the socia-economic factors rather than technological factors gave birth to the rise and decline of SCN.
