가연성 가스의 검지 및 인식을 위하여, SnO$_2$계열의 4가지 종류의 박막을 형성하였다. 감지막 형성을 위하여, Sn, Pt/Sn, Au/Sn 그리고 Pt, Au/Sn 막을 Sn의 열증착과 귀금속의 스퍼터링으로 증착하였다. 증착된 박막들을 $700^{\circ}C$ 정도에서 2 시간 열산화시켜 $SnO_2$계열의 감지막을 형성하였다. 제작된 박막은 tetragonal구조의 $SnO_2$이었고, 가스 흡착을 위한 가스 흡착점과 기공도를 많이 갖고 있었다. 스퍼터로 형성된 박막보다 열산화법으로 형성된 박막이 고감도를 보였다. 제작 박막들은 작업환경기준치정도의 저농도에서 측정 가연성 가스(부탄, 프로판, LPG, 일산화탄소)에 대해 고감도와 재현성을 나타내었다. 특히, 백금(30 $\AA$)을 첨가한 박막이 LPG와 부탄 가스에 대해, 순수 열산화된 $SnO_2$ 박막이 프로판과 일산화탄소에 대하여 가장 고감도를 나타내었다. 이들 센서들의 각 가스별로 차별화된 감도패턴을 이용하여 주성분 분석 기법을 통해 환경기준치(LEL, TLV) 범위에서 부탄, 프로판, LPG, 일산화탄소와 같은 가연성 가스의 종류 인식 및 정량을 인식할 수 있었다.

Plasma etch endpoint detection (EPD) of SiO2 and PR layer is demonstrated by plasma impedance monitoring in this work. Plasma etching process is the core process for making fine pattern devices in semiconductor fabrication, and the etching endpoint detection is one of the essential FDC (Fault Detection and Classification) for yield management and mass production. In general, Optical emission spectrocopy (OES) has been used to detect endpoint because OES can be a simple, non-invasive and real-time plasma monitoring tool. In OES, the trend of a few sensitive wavelengths is traced. However, in case of small-open area etch endpoint detection (ex. contact etch), it is at the boundary of the detection limit because of weak signal intensities of reaction reactants and products. Furthemore, the various materials covering the wafer such as photoresist (PR), dielectric materials, and metals make the analysis of OES signals complicated. In this study, full spectra of optical emission signals were collected and the data were analyzed by a data-mining approach, modified K-means cluster analysis. The K-means cluster analysis is modified suitably to analyze a thousand of wavelength variables from OES. This technique can improve the sensitivity of EPD for small area oxide layer etching processes: about 1.0 % oxide area. This technique is expected to be applied to various plasma monitoring applications including fault detections as well as EPD.

A method for rapid acute toxicity test based on temperature control of Ceriodaphnia dubia has been developed and evaluated. A new toxicity test based on temperature control (TTBTC) which are based on temperature control, was developed and compared for the adsorption of the better methodology for short-term toxicity screening. Initially, daphnid larval are exposed to toxicants and at the same time the temperature of the water bath containing media is increased to high temperature $(35.5^{\circ}C).$ After 1.25 hrs of contact time, the number of the daphnids, either living (no toxic effect) or dead (toxic effect), is counted by the naked eyes. Effect of exposure time on test sensitivity was not significantly different between 1 to 1.5 hr. Comparison of the rapid 1.25 hr acute toxicity test developed in this study and the standard 48 hr acute toxicity test using heavy metals, cyanide and pentachlorophenol indicated that the 1.25 hour test provides an acceptable level of sensitivity in toxicity test for C. dubia.

국내 5개 폐광산 지역의 갱내수 및 배출수에 대해 화학적 분석 및 생물학적인 독성 평가를 통한 생태 위해성 평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 선정한 9가지 중금속의 화학적 분석 결과, 거의 모든 지점에서 높은 중금속 농도가 검출되었으며, 특히 송천, 낙동, 덕음 지역에서는 상대적으로 비소가 높게 검출되었고, 낙동 지역은 하류까지 전체적으로 각 항목의 중금속이 높은 농도로 존재하였다. 통합 방류수 독성 평가(WET)에 기초해 Vibrio fisheri, Selenastrum capricornutum, Daphnia magna를 이용한 생물학적 독성 평가 결과, 모든 지점에서 높은 독성이 나타났다. 유출수가 처음 흐르는 갱구에서 가장 높은 독성이 나타났으며, S. capricornutum에 대한 독성이 모든 지점에 걸쳐 $1.3\sim32.0$ TU 사이의 독성이 나타나 독성 민감도가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 각각의 독성 평가 종에 따른 독성 미감도 차이는 폐광사의 위해성을 평가함에 있어 두 종 이상의 평가 종이 사용되어야 함을 의미한다. HQ(Hazard Quotient) 개념을 적용한 생태 위해성 평가 결과, 폐광산에서 분석된 대부분의 중금속에 대해 HQ 값이 1보다 훨씬 크게 나타났으므로, 폐광산의 중금속에 대한 영향은 심각한 정도의 위해도를 가지고 있다고 판단된다. 한편, 생물학적 독성은 유하 거리의 증가에 따라 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 폐광산의 복원이나 생태 위해성 평가 시 지점별로 희석률뿐 아니라 DOM, 경도 등 환경인자들이 고려되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Bacterial cell-based biosensors, or whole-cell bioreporters (WCBs), are an alternative tool for the quantification of hazardous materials. Most WCBs share similar working mechanisms. In brief, the recognition of a target by sensing domains induces a biological event, such as changes in protein conformation or gene expression, providing a basis for quantification. WCBs targeting heavy metal(loid)s employ metalloregulators as sensing domains and control the expression of genes in the presence of target metal(loid) ions, but the diversity of targets, specificity, and sensitivity of these WCBs are limited. In this study, we genetically engineered the metal-binding loop (MBL) of ZntR, which controls the znt-operon in Escherichia coli. In the MBL of ZntR, three Cys sites interact with metal ions. Based on the crystal structure of ZntR, MBL sequences were modified by site-directed mutagenesis. As a result, the metal-sensing properties of WCBs differed depending on amino acid sequences and the new selectivity to Cr or Pb was observed. Although there is room for improvement, our results support the use of currently available WCBs as a platform to generate new WCBs to target other environmental pollutants including metal(loid)s.

Phytochelatins (PCs) are small-sized peptides synthesized by PC synthase (PCS) using glutathione (GSH) as a substrate, and they play an important role in the detoxification of toxic heavy metals in plants, fission yeast, and other living organisms. Recently, it has been suggested that PCS is also involved in degradation of some xenobiotics including monobromobimane. PCS cleaves the Gly residue from GSH-xenobiotics conjugates resulting in ${\gamma}$-Glu-Cys-xenobiotics, and this is to degraded further. Therefore, our research is focus on whether PCS is also involved in degradation of tolclofos-methyl, an important pesticide which has been used in ginseng cultivated areas. Heterologous expression of Arabidopsis PCS confers tolerance to tolclofos-methyl in yeast. Furthermore, PCS-deficient Cad1-3 Arabidopsis mutant showed high sensitivity to tolclofos-methyl compared with wild-type plants. These results imply that PCS is involved in degradation of tolclofos-methyl as other xenobiotics.

Brittle materials are very weak for impact because of typical characteristics which happen to be easily fractured with low fracture toughness and crack sensitivity. When brittle materials are subjected to impact due to small spheres, high contact pressure is occurred to impact surface and then local damage on specimen is developed, since there are little plastic deformations due to contact pressure compared to metals. This local damage is a dangerous factor which gives rise to final fracture of structures. In this research, the crack propagation process of soda lime glass by impact of small sphere is explained and the effects of the constraint conditions of impact spheres and materials for the material damage were studied by using soda-lime glass. that is the effects for the materials and sizes of impact ball, thickness of specimen and residual strength. Especially, this research has focused on the damage behavior of ring crack, cone crack and several kinds of cracks.

A transformer is a device that changes the current and voltage by electricity induced between coil and core steel, and it is composed of metals and insulating materials. In the core of the transformer, the thermal load is generated by electric loss and the high temperature can make the break of insulating. So we must cool down the temperature of transformer by external radiators. According to cooling fan's usage, there are two cooling types, OA(Oil Natural Air Natural) and FA(Oil Natural Air Forced). For this study, we used Fluent 6.2 and analyzed the cooling characteristic of radiator. we calculated 1-fin of detail modeling that is similar to honeycomb structure and multi-fin(18-fin) calculation for OA and FA types. For the sensitivity study, we have different positions(side, under) of cooling fans for forced convection of FA type. The calculation results were compared with the measurement data which obtained from 135.45/69kV ultra transformer flowrate and temperature test. The aim of the study is to assess the Fluent code prediction on the radiator calculation and to use the data for optimizing transformer radiator design.

Bacterial bioluminescence has been known to be a highly valuable reporter system for its potential application as an effective and simple environmental monitoring method for toxic compounds. In this short report, we constructed a streptomycetes-Escherichia coli shuttle vector-containing bioluminescence system and evaluated its potential application for toxic compounds monitoring. The luxAB biolurninescence genes from Vibrio harveyi were cloned into a streptornycetes-E. coli shuttle vector (named pESK004) and functionally expressed in Streptomyces lividans. The recombinant S. lividans containing pESK004 exhibited an optimal biolurninescence at the optical density ($OD_{600\;nm}$) of 0.4-0.5 and aldehyde concentration of 0.005%. When the recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes was exposed to a toxic compound such as heavy metals, chlorinated phenols, or pesticides, the bioluminescence was decreased proportionally to the concentration of toxic compound in the assay mixture. The $EC_{50}$ (effective concentration to decrease 50% of the bioluminescence prior to exposure) values in the recombinant biolurninescence streptomycetes for mercury, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and malathion were measured at 2.2 ppm, 144.0 ppm, and 82.4 ppm, respectively. The degree of sensitivity and specificity pattern toward these toxic compounds characterized in this recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes were unique when compared with previously reported bacterial bioluminescence systems, and this revealed that a recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes might provide an alternative or complementary system for potential environmental monitoring.
