차세대 반도체 분야인 스핀트로닉스 소자의 필수적인 물질인 강자성-반도체 하이브리드 물질인 Dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS)에 관한 연구가 최근 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 그중에서 넓은 에너지 밴드 갭 에너지(3.37 eV)를 가지고 있고 상온에서 엑시톤 결합 에너지가 ~60 mV로 광전자 소자, 전계 디스플레이 에 응용이 가능한 물질인 ZnO는 최근에 전이금속을 도핑하여 상온에서 강자성 특성을 나타내어 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나, 이 물질에 대한 특성과 자성의 원인 규명에 관한 연구는 논란이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Mn이 도핑된 ZnO 나노 입자를 만들고, Mn 물질의 도핑 농도에 따른 ZnO 나노 입자의 구조, 크기 및 자기 구조를 측정하여 구조와 자성의 상관관계에 관한 연구하였다. ZnxMn1-xO 나노 입자는 화학적 졸-겔(sol-gel) 방법을 이용하여 준비하였다. ZnxMn1-xO 나노 입자의 크기 및 격자 구조적 특징은 XRD (X-ray diffraction)와 TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), SANS (Small Angle Neutron Scattering)를 이용하여 측정하였고 물질의 자기적 특징은 SQUID를 이용하여 조사하였다. Mn 도핑이 증가함에 따라 격자간격이 커지고 나노 입자의 크기는 감소하였으며, Zn와 Mn의 성장 시, 비율이 9:1의 경우에 상온에서 강자성 특성이 나타남을 보았다. 그 이상의 Mn 도핑 비율에서는 상자성 특성이 나타남을 보았다. 본 연구를 통하여 스핀트로닉스 소자 응용을 위한 ZnO 나노 입자에 최적의 Mn 도핑 농도를 제시하고 나노 입자의 자기 특성 형성의 원인 및 모델을 제시하였다.

Highly efficient hydrogenated nanocrystalline silicon (nc-Si:H) thin-film solar cells were prepared on flexible stainless steel substrates using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. To enhance the performance of solar cells, material properties of back reflectors, n-doped seed layers and wide bandgap nc-SiC:H window layers were optimized. The light scattering efficiency of Ag back reflectors was improved by increasing the surface roughness of the films deposited at elevated substrate temperatures. Using the n-doped seed layers with high crystallinity, the initial crystal growth of intrinsic nc-Si:H absorber layers was improved, resulting in the elimination of the defect-dense amorphous regions at the n/i interfaces. The nc-SiC:H window layers with high bandgap over 2.2 eV were deposited under high hydrogen dilution conditions. The vertical current flow of the films was enhanced by the formation of Si nanocrystallites in the amorphous SiC:H matrix. Under optimized conditions, a high conversion efficiency of 9.13% ($V_{oc}=0.52$, $J_{sc}=25.45mA/cm^2$, FF = 0.69) was achieved for the flexible nc-Si:H thin-film solar cells.

Purpose: This study was done to examine the correlations between personality type and job satisfaction of nurses. Methods: Subjects included three hundred twelve nurses ages from 21 to 55. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(MBTI) was administered to determine the personality types of the nurses(n=312). A job satisfaction survey including a demographic and career questionnaire was also used. Data were analyzed using ANOVA. Results: The mean score fur job satisfaction was 113.68 out of 205. The result showed that there was no statistically significant correlation between job satisfaction and information gathering functions, S: Sensing, N: Intuition (t=.667, p=.499), T; Thinking, F; Feeling (t=.822, p=.412). The results, however, indicated that style for gaining energy(I: Introversion, E: Extroversion)(t=2.008, p=.046) and life dealing style(J : Judgement, P : Perception)(t=2.290, p=.023) were significantly correlated with job satisfaction. The extrovert focuses on the outside and get energy through interacting with people and doing things. Judgement type is described as organized, decisive, and orderly. Conclusion: Nurses in the extrovert and judgement types were more satisfied with their Jobs than those in the introvert and perceptive type. Other results support that educational level, marital status, job characteristics, clinical experiences, motivation for nursing, and night duty were correlated with job satisfaction.

Background: Despite muscle latency times and patterns were used as broad examination tools to diagnose disease and recovery, previous studies have not compared the dominant arm to the non-dominant arm in muscle latency time and muscle recruitment patterns during reaching and reach-to-grasp movements. Objects: The present study aimed to investigate dominant and non-dominant hand differences in muscle latency time and recruitment pattern during reaching and reach-to-grasp movements. In addition, by manipulating the speed of movement, we examined the effect of movement speed on neuromuscular control of both right and left hands. Methods: A total of 28 right-handed (measured by Edinburgh Handedness Inventory) healthy subjects were recruited. We recorded surface electromyography muscle latency time and muscle recruitment patterns of four upper extremity muscles (i.e., anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, flexor digitorum superficialis, and extensor digitorum) from each left and right arm. Mixed-effect linear regression was used to detect differences between hands, reaching and reach-to-grasp, and the fast and preferred speed conditions. Results: There were no significant differences in muscle latency time between dominant and non-dominant hands or reaching and reach-to-grasp tasks (p>.05). However, there was a significantly longer muscle latency time in the preferred speed condition than the fast speed condition on both reaching and reach-to-grasp tasks (p<.05). Conclusion: These findings showed similar muscle latency time and muscle activation patterns with respect to movement speeds and tasks. Our findings hope to provide normative muscle physiology data for both right and left hands, thus aiding the understanding of the abnormal movements from patients and to develop appropriate rehabilitation strategies specific to dominant and non-dominant hands.

An active policy role is suggested for collaboration that will enhance national level Science and Technology (S&T) capabilities. In contrast, some studies see a limited role of policy support for collaborative S&T research at the individual level (including research groups or institutional levels) due to their self-organizing nature. Two views on S&T collaboration look at different levels but existing research largely ignores the context of developing countries. This paper shows how S&T collaborations between Brazil and Korea have developed over the past two decades. The paper indicates the gaps between initiation and the actual establishment of collaborative research at national and individual levels, differences in the focus areas of research, differences in resources and project planning, and the nature of collaborations. Collaborative research activities at the national level were initiated before the individual level but activated later than the individual level; in addition, the focus areas of research were laid down earlier at the national level with individual collaborations focused on different areas. Project types remained different at each level (i.e. top-down and bottom-up) or with a slightly changing mix. This study suggests appropriate policy measures (such as the timely and effective information collection of activities at different levels and proactive coordination) that could reduce the gaps in the timing and alignment of research areas. This paper also alludes to an evolutionary model to develop S&T collaboration among developing countries.

악취 유발 물질인 $H_2S$를 처리하기 위한 UV/photocatalysis의 성능 향상에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 광촉매 물질을 선정하기 위하여 EtOH을 기준물질로 사용하였으며, 광촉매 반응기의 광활성은 광촉매 반응기의 표면에 코팅된 광촉매의 표면특성과 높은 상관성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. PS 광촉매(STS-01)가 코팅된 광촉매 반응기는 기체선속도가 0.01 m/s, 상대습도가 40%의 조건에서 약 80%의 $H_2S$ 산화효율을 보였으나, 그 이상의 선속도에서 반응활성은 급격히 감소하였다. 광촉매 반응기의 성능유지를 위하여 백금을 광촉매에 담지하였는데 이는 같은 실험조건에서 95% 이상의 우수한 $H_2S$ 전환율을 나타내었다.

ZnO는 3.37eV의 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있으며, 60meV의 큰 엑시톤(exciton) 결합에너지의 특성을 가지고 있어 UV 영역의 소스로서 가장 활용도가 클 것으로 예상된다. 특히 ZnO 박막은 청색과 자외선 발광소자 및 광전자 소자, 화학적 센서로 활용이 가능하다. 최근 ZnO 박막을 이용한 LED 및 LD 소자 제작에 대한 연구가 국내외적으로 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이런 소자를 제작할 때 가장 우선시 되는 것이 ZnO 박막의 전기적은 특성(캐리어 밀도, 전도도, 이동도, 비저항)이다. ZnO 박막을 성장하는 방법으로는 sputtering, PLD, MOCVD, sol-gel 법 등 여러방법이 있지만, MOCVD 법은 소스인 DEZn 와 산소의 유량이 조절이 가능하여 박막의 특성 다양하게 변화시킬 수 있는 장정이 있다. 본 연구에서는 MOCVD 법을 이용하여 사파이어 기판위에 ZnO 박막을 성장 시켰다. 성장 시 VI족 소스인 산소가스와 II족 소스인 DEZn 양을 조절함으로써 이때 변화되는 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성에 대해 연구하였다.

Dengropanax morfiferus (D), Broussonitia kazinoki (B), and Cudriania tricuspidata (E), a widely cultivated species in South Korea, has been used as traditional medicine to treat numerous diseases. In this study, we evaluated the antidiabetic effects in a various signaling mechanisms using mixed extract and major component contents were analyzed by HPLC in the combined extracts from Dengropanax morfiferus, Broussonitia kazinoki, and Cudriania tricuspidata (DBCE). DBCE inhibited ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activation and showed potent antioxidant effects, which are evaluated using DPPH, ABTS, and SOD assay. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells in pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus. DBCE showed the protective effects in RINm5F cells against cytokines-induced damage by suppressing inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase and COX-2 expression and NO production. Insulin resistance is the primary characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Therefore, the regulatory effect of DBCE on glucose uptake and production are investigated in insulin-responsive human HepG2 cells. DBCE stimulated glucose uptake, prevented Glut2 and phosphor-IRS1 downregulation induced by high glucose (HG, 30 mM). Moreover, DBCE pretreatment diminished glucose levels, PEPCK and G6Pase overexpression provoked by HG. These findings suggest that DBCE might be used for diabetes treatment through alpha-glucosidase or alpha-amylase activity regulation, pancreatic beta cell protection, hepatic glucose sensitivity improvement. Cytokines, which are released by inflammatory cells' infiltrations around the pancreatic islets, are involved in the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

작물의 안정적 재배에 있어서 적합한 기후는 필수적 요소이며, 이는 곧바로 작물의 생산량 증가로 이어진다. 국내의 경우, 기후변화에 따른 곡물 및 작물의 수량 예측을 위하여 작물모델을 이용한 연구가 진행되었으나, 각기 다른 작물모델의 사용과 국외 실정에 맞춘 입력 자료의 사용으로 연구 결과의 신뢰성을 낮게 하는 경향이 있었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국외에서 개발된 작물 모델을 비교 분석하여 국내에서의 적용 가능성을 검토하였다. 또한, 모델별 입력자료 확보 가능성을 기초로 구동 가능 모형을 선정하였으며, 이의 문제점을 파악한 후 국내 적용방안을 제시하였다.

Although the importance of developing reliable and systematic GHG inventory has increased, the GIS/RS-based national scale LULUCF (Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry) sector analysis is insufficient in the context of the Paris Agreement. In this study, the change in $CO_2$ storage of forest land due to land use change is estimated using two GIS/RS methodologies, Sampling and Wall-to-Wall methods, from 2000 to 2010. Particularly, various imagery with sampling data and land cover maps are used for Sampling and Wall-to-Wall methods, respectively. This land use matrix of these methodologies and the national cadastral statistics are classified by six land-use categories (Forest land, Cropland, Grassland, Wetlands, Settlements, and Other land). The difference of area between the result of Sampling methods and the cadastral statistics decreases as the sample plot distance decreases. However, the difference is not significant under a 2 km sample plot. In the 2000s, the Wall-to-Wall method showed similar results to sampling under a 2 km distance except for the Settlement category. With the Wall-to-Wall method, $CO_2$ storage is higher than that of the Sampling method. Accordingly, the Wall-to-Wall method would be more advantageous than the Sampling method in the presence of sufficient spatial data for GHG inventory assessment. These results can contribute to establish an annual report system of national greenhouse gas inventory in the LULUCF sector.
