A hybrid supercapacitor (HS) is an energy storage device used to enhance the low weight energy density (Wh/kg) of a supercapacitor. On the other hand, a sudden decrease in capacity has been pointed out as a reliability problem after many charge/discharge cycles. The reliability problem of a HS affects the early aging process. In this study, the capacity performance of a HS was observed after charge/discharge. For detailed analysis of the initial charge/discharge cycles, the charge and discharge curve was measured at a low current density. In addition, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer was confirmed after the charge/discharge. A HC composed of a lithium titanate (LTO) anode and active carbon cathode was used. The charge/discharge efficiency of the first cycle was lower than the late cycles and the charge/discharge rate was also lower. This behavior was induced by SEI layer formation, which consumed Li ions in the LTO lattice. The formation of a SEI layer after the charge/discharge cycles was confirmed using a range of analysis techniques.

Several techniques have been developed for shear strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members by using fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. However, debonding of FRP retrofits from concrete substrate still deemed as a challenging concern in their application which needs to be scrutinized in details. As a result, this paper reports on the results of an experimental investigation on shear strengthening of RC beams using near surface mounted (NSM) FRP reinforcing bars. The main objective of the experimentation was increasing the efficiency of shear retrofits by precluding/postponing the premature debonding failure. The experimental program was comprised of six shear deficient RC beams. The test parameters include the FRP rebar spacing, inclination angle, and groove shape. Also, an innovative modification was introduced to the conventional NSM technique and its efficiency was evaluated by experimental observation and measurement. The results testified the efficiency of glass FRP (GFRP) rebars in increasing the shear strength of the test specimens retrofitted using conventional NSM technique. However, debonding of FRP bars impeded exploiting all retrofitting advantages and induced a premature shear failure. On the contrary, application of the proposed modified NSM (MNSM) technique was not only capable of preventing the premature debonding of FRP bars, but also could replace the failure mode of specimen from the brittle shear to a ductile flexural failure which is more desirable.

Aerosol indirect radiative forcing of climate change is considered the most uncertain forcing of climate change over the industrial period, despite numerous studies demonstrating such modification of cloud properties and several studies quantifying resulting changes in shortwave radiative fluxes. Detection of this effect is made difficult by the large inherent variability in cloud liquid water path (LWP): the dominant controlling influence of LWP on optical depth and albedo masks any aerosol influences. Here we have used ground-based remote sensing of cloud optical depth (${\tau}_c$) by narrowband radiometry and LWP by microwave radiometry to determine the dependence of optical depth on LWP, thereby permitting examination of aerosol influence. The method is limited to complete overcast conditions with liquid-phase single layer clouds, as determined mainly by millimeter wave cloud radar. The results demonstrate substantial (factor of 2) day-to-day variation in cloud drop effective radius at the ARM Southern Great Plains site that is weakly associated with variation in aerosol loading as characterized by light-scattering coefficient at the surface. The substantial scatter suggests the importance of meteorological influences on cloud drop size as well, which should be analyzed in the further intensive studies. Meanwhile, it is notable that the decrease in cloud drop effective radius results in marked increase in cloud albedo.

The paper presents an efficient computation of optimal tool length for 5-axis mold & die machining. The implemented procedure processes an NC file as an initial input, where the NC data is generated by another commercial CAM system. A commercial CAM system generates 5-axis machining NC data which, in its own way, is optimal based on pre-defined machining condition such as tool-path pattern, tool-axis control via inclination angles, etc. The proper tool-length should also be provided. The tool-length should be as small as possible in order to enhance machinability as well as surface finish. A feasible tool-length at each NC block can be obtained by checking interference between workpiece and tool components, usually when the tool-axis is not modified at this stage for most CAM systems. Then the minimum feasible tool-length for an NC file consisting of N blocks is the maximum of N tool-length values. However, it can be noted that slight modification of tool-axis at each block may reduce the minimum feasible tool-length in mold & die machining. This approach can effectively be applied in machining feature regions such as steep wall or deep cavity. It has been implemented and is used at a molding die manufacturing company in Korea.

비휘발성 메모리는 전원이 공급되지 않아도 저장된 정보를 계속 유지하는 메모리로써 현재 다양한 차세대 전자소자의 집적화 구현을 위해 저전압 동작 및 저장능력의 향상 등에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이때 삽입되는 전하저장층의 경우 기존 널리 이용되는 질화막(SiNx) 외에 최근에는 산화 알루미늄(Al2O3) 등의 고유전상수 물질 뿐만 아니라, 밴드갭 조절을 통해 전하저장능력을 향상시키는 산화막(SiOx)에 대한 연구도 진행 중이다. 이번 연구에서는 전하저장능력을 향상시키기 위해 전하저장층으로 산화막을 이용할 뿐만 아니라, 기존의 평편한 구조가 아닌 표면 조절을 통해 전하저장능력을 보다 향상시키고자 한다. 또한 이번 연구에서는 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 응용을 위해 우선적으로 금속-절연체-반도체 형태의 MOOxOyS 구조를 이용하였다. 이 때 실리콘 표면적을 변화시키기 위해 이용된 실리콘 웨이퍼는 1) 평편한 실리콘, 2) 수산화암모늄, 이소프로필 알코올 및 탈이온수를 혼합한 용액에 식각시킨 삼각형 구조, 3) 불산, 질산 및 아세트산을 혼합한 용액에 식각시킨 라운드 구조이다. 정전용량-전압 측정을 통해 얻어진 메모리 윈도우는 1) 평편한 실리콘의 경우 약 5.1 V, 2) 삼각형 구조의 경우 약 5.3 V, 3) 라운드 구조의 경우 약 5.9 V를 얻었다. 이 때, 라운드 구조의 경우 가장 넓은 표면적으로 인해 상대적으로 전하트랩이 가장 많이 되어 메모리 윈도우가 가장 커지는 특성을 볼 수 있었다.

간접띠간격(indirect bandgap)을 갖는 층상형 반도체 $MoS_2$는 두께가 줄어들어 단일층이 되면 층간 상호작용의 변화로 인해 ~1.8 eV의 직접띠간격(direct bandgap)을 갖게 된다. 이러한 초박형 $MoS_2$의 발광 특성을 활용하기 위해서는 원자 크기 수준에서 두께와 물성을 조절할 수 있는 화학적 표면개질법에 대한 이해가 필요하다. 최근 아르곤(Ar) 플라즈마를 이용한 $MoS_2$의 층상(layer-by-layer) 식각과 표면제어에 관한 연구결과가 보고되었으나 자세한 반응 메커니즘은 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 산소 플라즈마에 의한 단일층 및 복층 $MoS_2$의 산화반응을 원자힘 현미경(AFM), 광전자 분광법(XPS), 라만 및 광발광 분광법을 통해 관찰하고 반응 메커니즘을 이해하고자 한다. 플라즈마로 생성된 산소라디칼과의 반응시간이 증가함에 따라 $E{^1}_{2g}$와 $A_{1g}$-진동모드에서 기인하는 라만 신호, 그리고 A와 B-엑시톤에서 유래하는 광발광의 세기가 감소함을 확인하였다. XPS와 AFM을 통해 반응이 진행됨에 따라 $MoS_2$의 상층이 $MoO_3$로 산화되면서 나노입자로 응집되어 표면형태가 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 플라즈마 산화반응을 이용하여 $MoS_2$ 표면에 구조적 결함(defect)과 층상 식각을 유발하고 광발광 특성 제어를 위해 전자구조를 조절할 수 있다는 가능성을 보여준다.

Highly hydrophilic, uniform, superparamagnetic and nontoxic maltotrionic acid (MA)-coated magnetite nano-particles (MAM) were prepared and characterized by TEM, DLS, XRD and VSM. MA was used to improve the biocompatibility, monodispersity and non-specific intracellular uptake of nanoparticles. Folic acid (FA) was subsequently conjugated to the MAM to preferentially target KB cells (cancer cells) that have folate receptors expressed on their surfaces and to facilitate nanoparticles in their transit across the cell membrane. Finally, fluorescence isothiocyanate (FITC) was added to the nanoparticles to visualize the nanoparticle internalization into KB cells. After the cells were cultured in a media containing the MAM and MAM-folate conjugate (FAMAM), the results of fluorescence and confocal microscopy showed that both types of nanoparticles were internalized into the cells. Nevertheless, the amount of FAMAM uptake was higher than that of MAM. This result indicated that nanoparticles modified with MA and FA could be used to facilitate the nanoparticle uptake to specific KB cells (cancer cells) for molecular imaging.

The purpose of this study is to find out the changes in geomorphic characteristics of a small watershed when a golf course is constructed. The research site is a set of seven small watersheds including an 18-hole golf course that were randomly selected. The size, shape, and drainage network of watersheds were measured by using planimeter, watershed eccentricity, and stream order, respectively. In addition, a 25m$\times$25m mesh was used on topographic maps and grading plans in order to obtain the slope, elevation, and aspect of the watersheds. The major results of this research, while investigating of the changes in geomorphic characteristics of watersheds when a golf course is constructed, are as follows: 1. The size of watersheds is increased in accordance to the difference in elevation between the golf course site and the small watershed. 2. The watershed eccentricities are in general similar except for a few low-valued cases. 3. The changes in the average altitude and the gradient are more drastic with their bigger original values. 4. The aspects are changed more with decreasing elevation. 5. The stream order decreases in the case of a low watershed eccentricity. 6. The surface modification has a closer relationship to the slope rather than the size of effective use area. 7. With a steeper gradient and an excessively low gradient, the height of cutting/filling is increased.

본 연구에서는 전자파 차폐용 도전성 개스킷 소재로 활용할 수 있는 은입자 충전 실리콘 복합 페이스트에 대한 전기전도성 및 응력-변형율 특성을 분석하였다. 불규칙한 구형의 은(Ag)입자와 상온습기경화형(RTV) 실리콘수지를 도입하여 복합 페이스트의 퍼콜레이션 농도(임계 농도)를 전기전도도 측정 결과로부터 결정하였다. 약 28%의 은입자 함량에서 퍼콜레이션 현상이 발생하였으며, 이 농도에서 급격한 감소를 보이는 은입자/실리콘 복합 페이스트의 체적 비저항, 인장강도 및 연신률의 특성 변화에 관하여 고찰하였다. 또한, 커플링제의 선택적 방법을 통해 퍼콜레이션 농도 이상으로 충전된 복합 페이스트의 응력-변형율 특성을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있음을 제시하여 주었다.
