  • We have studied the role of ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ buffer layer as a diffusion barrier in the Ba-ferrite/$SiO_{2}$ magnetic thin films for high-density recording media. In the interface of amorphous Ba-ferrite $(1900-{\AA}-thick)/SiO_{2}$ thin film during annealing, the interfacial diffusion started to occur at ${\sim}700^{\circ}C$. As the annealing temperature increased up to $800^{\circ}C$, the interfacial diffusion abruptly proceeded resulting in the high interface roughness and the deterioration of the magnetic properties. In order to control the interfacial diffusion at the high temperature, we introduced ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ buffer layer ($110-{\AA}-thick$) in the interface of Ba-ferrite/$SiO_{2}$ thin film. During the annealing of Ba-ferrite/${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3}/SiO_{2}$ thin film even at ${\sim}800^{\circ}C$, the interface was very smooth. The magnetic properties, such as saturation magnetization and intrinsic coercivity, were also enhanced, due to the inhibition of interfacial diffusion by the ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ buffer layer. Our study suggests that the ${\alpha}-Al_{2}O_{3}$ buffer layer act as a useful interfacial diffusion barrier in the Ba-ferrite/$SiO_{2}$ magnetic thin films.

  • This study investigates the durability of carbon/epoxy composites for use on train car bodies under a salt water spray environment. Salt water solution with 5% NaCl, similar to natural salt water, was used for the salt water environmental tests. The specimens were obtained from a composite panel consisting of an epoxy matrix reinforced with T700 carbon fabric. The specimens were exposed to the salt water environment for up to 12 months. Mechanical tests were performed to obtain tensile properties, flexural properties, and shear properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis was used to measure such thermal properties as storage modulus, loss modulus, and tan $\delta$. Also FT/IR tests were conducted to investigate changes in chemical structure with exposure. The results revealed that fiber-dominated mechanical properties were not affected much by exposure time, but matrix-dominated mechanical properties decreased with increasing exposure time. Storage modulus was not very sensitive to exposure time, but glass transition temperature was affected, slightly decreasing with increasing exposure time. Although the peak intensity of FT/IR curves was affected slightly by exposure time, the peak shape and peak location of FT/IR curves were not noticeably changed. Carbon/epoxy composites used for this study were relatively stable to the salt water environment.

  • The Morse code was firstly used for a wire telegraph service on May 1884 in USA. After about 10 years Korean researchers developed the Morse code in 1884 and the Morse code was firstly introduced in Korea for the wire telegraph service in September 1885. For about 130 years later, the Hangul Jamo Morse code has been used without any serious modification up to now. The Morse code is the variable length code system which each codes have a different code length. The related reference shows that English alphabet Morse code was applied in the coding theory. However, a result of analysis showed that the Hangul Jamo Morse code was not applied in the coding theory as the english alphabet code system. This paper presents the analysis result of Hangul Jamo Morse code according to the variable length coding theory. As a result of the analysis, when Hangul Jamo are coded with application of the variable length coding theory, the transmission data rate could be increased up to 25% compare to the existing code system. This paper shows a new Hangul Jamo Morse code system based on the analysis result.

  • The effect of temperature on swelling pressure was observed with a Korean domestic Ca-bentonite which has been considered as a potential buffer material in the engineering barrier of a high level radioactive waste (HLW) disposal system. The Ca-bentonite was compacted to a dry density of 1.6 g/$cm^3$, and then de-ionized water was supplied into it with a constant pressure of 0.69 MPa. The equilibrium swelling pressures were measured with different temperatures of $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The Ca-bentonite showed a sufficiently high swelling pressure of 5.3 MPa at room temperatures. Then it was clearly showed that the equilibrium swelling pressure was decreased with an increase of temperature. Interestingly, there were some differences in temperature effect on the equilibrium swelling pressure when the environmental temperature is increasing or decreasing. For further clarifying the swelling behaviour of a Korea domestic Ca-bentonite, the change of a compaction level, and the composition variation of a supplied water would be needed to use in conceptual design of HLW disposal system.

  • To obtain basic data for mass production of Isaria japonica, cultural characteristics of japonica were investigated by using liquid, solid media and silkworms pupa. Mycelia grew favorably at the temperature of $23{\sim}28^{\circ}C$ on MYG medium with pH 7.0. The fruiting-body of I. japonica was induced below $20^{\circ}C$ in MYG liquid medium (Malt yeast glucose) under fluorescent light. In MYG basal medium mixed with pupal powder of silkworms, the fresh weight of fruiting-bodies was increased with increasing concentration of pupal powder. The highest yield of fruiting bodies was obtained in carbon-rich medium supplemented with pupal powder of silkworm. Also, fruiting-bodies of I. japonica were produced massively on the silkworm pupa placed on the stainless tray in the shortest time. The structure and shape of fruiting-bodies were coral-like, many-branched types with numerous conidiospores.

  • Determination of trace elements in a sample including complicated matrix is very difficult due to the interference by the matrix. Therefore, if the trace elements can be separated from the complex sample matrix and determined, the interference effects can be reduced, and it is very helpful for the overall analysis. In this study, the analytes of trace elements were separated from the sample matrix by co-precipitation with trace elements using indium hydroxide ($In(OH)_3$), then detected by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). Above all, the optimal conditions for the co-precipitation of elements with indium hydroxide were experimentally established. At last, salt was analyzed by the developed analytical method. No heavy metals were not found in Shinan Jeungdo salt, but trace amounts of several heavy metals except for cadmium were found in Cheonnam Yongkwang salt.

  • The parametric array phenomenon refers to the generation of a high directivity low frequency wave from a small size radiation plate using the nonlinearity of the medium. In order to improve the usability of parametric array, the beam steering method of low frequency wave is researched, and the beam steering phenomenon is predicted easily using the PD (product directivity) model. However, the PD model can only be applied to Gaussian sources under quasi-linear conditions. Also, the prediction accuracy of low frequency wave beam width is poor. In this paper, a method for predicting the beam steering characteristics of a parametric array that can overcome the limitation of the PD model is investigated. For this purpose, the numerical analysis algorithm of the KZK (Khokhlov-Zabolotskaya-Kuzentsov) equation widely used for parametric array phenomenon prediction is improved. Thus, the beam steering characteristics are calculated by applying the electrical beam steering condition and comparing experimental results. As a result, the numerical analysis using the modified KZK equation algorithm in this study confirms that the beam steering phenomenon can be predicted even in a parametric array source that does not correspond to the quasi-linear condition.

  • The present study was designed to investigate the chemopreventive effects of supercritical heat radish extracts with anti-constipation acitivity in loperamide-treated rats, on 1,2-dimethylhydrazine(DMH)-induced aberrant crypt foci(ACF) in rat colonic mucosa. Supercritical heat radish extracts was administered in the drinking water(3.2 mg/ml) during the initiation (for 12 weeks) or postinitiation phase(for 9 weeks) of DMH-induced carcicogenesis. Supercritical heat radish extracts coupled with DMH for 12 weeks decreased significantly total number of aberrant crypts(pre-neoplastic lesions) and the number of ACF to 35% and 30%, respectively. The number of ACF with more than four aberrant crypts (crypt multiplicity) was significantly reduced in the colon of rats receiving Supercritical heat radish extracts for 12 weeks. In the group receiving Supercritical heat radish extracts after post-initiation for 9 weeks, only the number of ACF with ${\geq}4$ abberant crypts significantly decreased. Supercritical heat radish extracts, given alone for 12 weeks, did not induced the development of ACF. These results indicate that Supercritical heat radish extracts possess chemopreventive effects on chemically induced rat colon carcinogenesis.
