  • This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of adding encapsulated-glucose, glucose, sorbic acid or prefermented juice of epiphytic lactic acid bacteria (FJLB) on the fermentation quality and residual mono- and disaccharide composition of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam) silages. The additive treatments were as follows: (1) control (no addition), (2) encapsulated-glucose addition at 0.5% for glucose, (3) glucose addition at 1%, (4) sorbic acid addition at 0.1%, (5) FJLB addition at a theoretical application rate of $2.67{\times}10^5$ CFU (colony forming unit) $g^{-1}$, on a fresh weight basis of Italian ryegrass. Although control and encapsulated-glucose treatments had higher contents of butyric acid (33.45, 21.50 g $kg^{-1}$ DM) and ammonia-N/Total nitrogen (114.91, 87.01 g $kg^{-1}$) as compared with the other treated silages, the fermentation in all silages was clearly dominated by lactic acid. This was well indicated by the low pH (4.38-3.59), and high lactic acid/acetic acid (4.39-22.97) and lactic acid content (46.85-121.76 g $kg^{-1}$ DM). Encapsulated-0.5% glucose and glucose addition increased lactic acid/acetic acid, and significantly (p<0.05) decreased ammonia-N/total nitrogen, and the contents of butyric acid and total volatile fatty acids (VFAs) as compared with the control. However, there were higher butyric acid and lower residual mono-and di-saccharides on the two treatments as compared with sorbic acid and FJLB addition, and their utilization efficiency of water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) was lower than that of both sorbic acid and FJLB additions. Sorbic acid addition showed the lowest content of ethanol and ammonia-N/total nitrogen, and the highest content of residual fructose and total mono-and disaccharides as well as the higher lactic acid/acetic acid value. Sorbic acid addition decreased the loss of mono-and disaccharides, and inhibited the activity of clostridial and other undesirable bacteria, and greatly increased the utilization efficiency of fermentable substrates by epiphytic LAB. FJLB addition had the lowest pH value and the highest lactic acid content among all additive treatments, with the most intensive lactic acid fermentation occurring in FJLB treated silage. This resulted in the faster accumulation of lactic acid and faster pH reduction. Sorbic acid and FJLB addition depressed clostridia or other undesirable bacterial fermentation which decreased the WSC loss and saved the fermentable substrate for lactic acid fermentation.

  • In this paper, the ultra-widebend, microstrip patch antenna with the bandwidth of 3 GHz was implemented for ultra-wideband(UWB) wireless communication applications. In order to cover the very wide bandwidth of 3 GHz, a multi-resonance antenna was designed, each resonance frequency was separated into five frequency bend, 7.5, 8.1, 8.7, 9.3, and 9.9GHz with the interval of 600MHz BW. And for wideband characteristics of each antenna, U-slot antennas were designed at each center frequency. Designed five U-slot antennas were connected in series for multi-resonance of 3GHz BW and wideband matching was also designed for impedance matching transmission line calculated. The relative dielectric constant, the height, the loss tangent of the PCB substrate were ${\epsilon}_r=4.8,\;h=0.6$ and loss tangent=0.0009 respectively. The implemented antenna's radiation patterns and gain were directivity characteristics and $1.46{\sim}4.08dBi$ at the five separated center frequency.

  • In this paper, a microstrip-fed triple-band monopole antenna with DGS (Defected Ground Structure) for WLAN/WiMAX applications was proposed. The proposed antenna is based on a microstrip-fed structure, and composed of two strip lines and DGS structure and then designed in order to get triple band characteristics. We carried out simulation about parameters. Adjusted the position and length of the two strips and three slits, we get the optimized parameters. The proposed antenna is fabricated on an FR-4 substrate of which the dielectric constant is 4.4, and its overall size is $34mm(W_1){\times}34mm(L_1){\times}1.6mm(t)$, and its proposed antenna size is $17.0mm(W_6){\times}30.75mm(L_3+L_4+L_9)$. From the fabricated and measured results, return loss of the proposed antenna satisfied return loss -10dB bandwidth 360 MHz (2.335~2.695 GHz), 645 MHz (3.37~4.015 GHz) and 1,770 MHz (5.14~6.91 GHz). And measured results of gain and radiation patterns characteristics displayed for operating bands.

  • In this paper, minimizing of a parabolic edge planar monopole antenna by scaling method is presented. With the aid of a matching step and discontinuous CPW, the antenna easily adjusts the impedance matching. We used an FR4 dielectric substrate with a dielectric constant of 4.4. The dimensions of the antenna are $26mm{\times}31mm{\times}1.6mm$. A return loss value of more than 10dB was found in the 2.37GHz to 10.52GHz (8.15GHz) range of the antenna fed by the discontinuous CPW. The radiation pattern is about the same as that of the dipole antenna at all frequencies. Configuration elements of the antenna except feed part were reduced into the same rate. So, the size of the antenna was decreased and a broadband property was maintained. Therefore, the self-complementary characteristic of the antenna was confirmed. While satisfying the UWB band, having the smallest size in the antenna miniaturized by scaling;when scale was 0.6. The dimensions of the antenna are $15.6mm{\times}18.6mm{\times}1.6mm$. The return loss was more than 10 dB of the measured result in the range of 3.07GHz to 12.59GHz (9.52GHz).

  • P. ginseng seedlings treated with GA,2,4-D and B-9 (N,N-dimethylsuccinamic acid) were grown under dark. Growth efficiencies ($E_1$ = St/Ro, $E_2$ = St1(Ro-Rt), $E_3$ = (Ro- Rt)/ Ro where St. Ro and Rt are shoot weight, initial root weight and root weight at time 1. respectiv$E_1$y) and other r$E_1$ated factors and their interr$E_1$ationship were investigated. $E_1$ and $E_3$ showed quadratic r$E_1$ation with temperature change while $E_2$ showed negative linear r$E_1$ation. $E_1$ depended on more $E_3$ component than $E_2$ component. The values of $E_2$ and $E_3$ are almost same. $E_2$ was greater than that reported previously suggesting large variation between roots. GA greatly increased $E_2$ and $E_3$ in supraoptimum temperature range while B-9 greatly decreased $E_3$ in all temperature range and $E_2$ in suboptimum range. Shoot weight showed highly significant positive linear corr$E_1$ation with substrate amount in most cases of PGR and temperature and with respiration loss in some cases. Respiration loss showed significant linear corr$E_1$ation positiv$E_1$y with $E_1$ and $E_3$ and negativ$E_1$y with $E_2$ only in suboptimal temperature range.

  • Bragg reflector type FBAR was fabricated on the Si(100) substrate. We measured a frequency response of the resonator at 5.2 GHz and analyzed it by numerical calculation considering actual acoustic losses of each layer in the structure. We fabricated nine layer Bragg reflector of W-SiO$_2$pairs using r.f. sputtering method and fabricated AlN piezoelectric and Al electrodes using pulsed dc sputtering. The return loss(S$_{11}$) of the fabricated Bragg reflector type FBAR was 12 dB at 5.38 GHz and the series resonance frequency(f$_{s}$) was 5.376 GHz and the parallel resonance frequency(f$_{p}$) was 5.3865 GHz. Effective electro-mechanical coupling constant (K$_{eff{^2}}$) and Quality factors(Q$_{s}$), the Figures of Merit of the resonator, were about 0.48% and 411, respectively. We extracted acoustic parameters of AlN piezoelectric and reflection coefficient of the Bragg reflector by numerical calculation. We could know that material acoustic impedance and wave velocity of AlN piezoelectric decreased for intrinsic value and the electromechanical coupling constant(K$_2$) value was very low owing to the poor quality of the AlN piezoelectric. Reflection coefficient of Bragg reflector was 0.99966 and reflection band was very wide from 2.5 to 9.5 GHz.

  • Ferroelectric properties of $ErMnO_3$ thin films deposited on Si(100) substrate using Sol-gel process with metal salts were investigated. $ErMnO_3$ thin films with a (001) preferred orientation were crystallized at 800$^{\circ}C$. The $ErMnO_3$ thin film post-annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the dielectric constant(k) of 26 and the dielectric loss(tan ${\delta}$) of 0.032 at the frequency range from 1 to 100 KHz. The grain size of $ErMnO_3$ thin film post-annealed at 800 for 1 h was 10∼30 nm. The remanent polarization($P_r$) of the $ErMnO_3$ thin films increased with increasing (001) preferred orientation. The $ErMnO_3$ thin films post-annealed at 800$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h showed the remanent polarization($P_r$) of 400 nC/$cm^2$, with the increase of post-annealing time at 800$^{\circ}C$, the coercive field($E_c$) of thin films was lowered because the dense and homogeneous thin films were obtained.

  • MCrAlY overaly coatings are used as oxidation barrier coatings to prevent degradation of the underlying substrate in high temperature and oxidizing environment of the hot section of gas turbines. Therefore, oxidation resistance in high temperature is important property of MCrAlY coatings. Also, coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of MCrAlY have middle value of that of Ni-based superalloys and oxides, which have the effect of preventing the delamination of the surface oxides. Cyclic oxidation test is one of the most useful methods for evaluating the high temperature durability of coatings used in gas turbines. In this study, NiCoCrAlY overlay coatings were formed on Inconel 792(IN 792) substrates by vacuum plasma spraying process. Vacuum plasma sprayed NiCoCrAlY coatings and IN 792 susbstrates were exposed to 1000℃ one-hour cyclic oxidation environment. NiCoCrAlY coatings showed lower weight gain in short-term oxidation. In long-term oxidation, IN 792 substrates showed higher weight loss due to delamination of surface oxide but NiCoCrAlY coatings showed lower weight loss. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed α-Al2O3 and NiCr2O4 was formed during the cyclic oxidation test. Through cross-section observation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis, thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer composed of α-Al2O3 and NiCr2O4 was formed and the thickness of TGO increased during 1000℃ cyclic oxidation test. β phase in upper side of NiCoCrAlY coating was depleted due to oxidation of Al and outer beta depletion zone thickness also increased as the cyclic oxidation time increased.

  • The cultivation characteristics of 26 wild strains of Lentinula edodes were investigated for their use as breeding material. Strains NIFoS 68, 136, 1521, 1651, and 2064 showed an above average mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar at 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$. NIFoS 411 showed the lowest mycelial growth at $20^{\circ}C$, but the highest growth at $30^{\circ}C$. The rate of weight loss of L. edodes cultivated on sawdust (2 kg) ranged from 13.5 to 47.5%, with the highest rates showed by NIFoS 50 (47.5%), NIFoS 128 (34.5%), and NIFoS 54 (34.4%). Fruiting bodies were produced in nearly all (24/26) strains and productivity ranged from 3 g to 446 g/2 kg medium. Temperature was not significantly correlated with mushroom production or mycelial growth. Larger weight loss correlated strongly with fruit yield. In terms of production, NIFoS 50 (446 g), NIFoS 952 (435 g), and NIFoS 53 (421 g) were useful as breeding material. The NIFoS 667 strain was superior in terms of morphology. NIFoS 670 showed the characteristic yellowish-brown color of fruiting bodies.
