Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was grafted onto the multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) using ultrasound in water and modified MWCNT/PVA nanocomposite was prepared. Modified MWCNT had a good affinity with PVA matrix and showed improved dispersion state along with uniform properties. Therefore, the electrical percolation threshold was observed at 0.1 wt% MWCNT. 3.0 wt% modified MWCNT/PVA composite had 50% higher tensile strength, 430% higher elongation at break, and 100% greater modulus. Since the modified MWCNT acted as a nucleation agent, the crystallization temperature increased to $8.5^{\circ}C$ and the crystallinity increased to 11.5% at 5.0 wt% loading concentration.

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) has proposed a threshold limit value (TLV) for benzene of 0.1 ppm. Individuals representing the American Petroleum Institute (API)and the Chemical Manufacturers Association (CMA) have argued that 1) the risk assessment by Rinsky .et al. which ACGIH partially relied upon for its proposed TLV overestimates the risk; however, at the exposures levels of interest - (e.g., 0.1 to 1.0 ppm) for establishing a benzene TLV, the Rinsky et al. assessment provides lower estimates of leukemia risk than most others; 2) ACGIH should not use the Dow study for direct observational evidence of leukemia risk associated with low-level benzene exposure because of confounding exposure; however, it is unlikely that confounding exposures played a role in the excess of leukemia demonstrated in the study, and the Dow cohort was exposed to an average benzene concentration of about 5.5 ppm benzene for 7.11 years (31:1.5 ppm-years), while some of the individuals in the study who died from leukemia were exposed to an average of only 1.0 ppm without the opportunity for highpeak exposures; 3) the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) established an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) of 1.0 ppm in 1987, and there is no new evidence that would justify reducing the TWA below that level; however, the OSHA TWA of 1.0 ppm was based on economic feasibility and the level of excess risk remaining at 1.0 ppm, i.e., 10 excess leukemia deaths per 1000 workers over an occupational lifetime (45 years) according to OSHA's preferred estimate leaves behind I risk considered significant by OSHA. In addition, chromosomal studies among workers and in animals exposed to benzene indicate that low-level exposure, i.e., 1.0 ppm, is associated with elevated Cytogenetic damage. On the basis of adverse health effects data alone, in this author's opinion, it would be poor science and poor public health policy to establish a benzene TLV greater than 0.1 ppm.

Mastitis is a major problem for the global dairy industry and causes substantial economic losses from decreasing milk production and considerable compositional changes in milk, reducing milk quality. The potential of near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy in the region from 1100 to 2500nm and chemometric method for classification to detect milk from mastitic cows was investigated. A total of 189 milk samples from 7 Holstein cows were collected for 27 days, consecutively, and analyzed for somatic cells (SCC). Three of the cows were healthy, and the rest had mastitis periods during the experiment. NIR transflectance milk spectra were obtained by the InfraAlyzer 500 spectrophotometer in the spectral range from 1100 to 2500nm. All samples were divided into calibration set and test set. Class variable was assigned for each sample as follow: healthy (class 1) and mastitic (class 2), based on milk SCC content. The classification of the samples was performed using soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) and different spectral data pretreatment. Two concentration of SCC - 200 000 cells/ml and 300 000 cells/ml, respectively, were used as thresholds fer separation of healthy and mastitis cows. The best detection accuracy was found for models, obtained using 200 000 cells/ml as threshold and smoothed absorbance data - 98.41% from samples in the calibration set and 87.30% from the samples in the independent test set were correctly classified. SIMCA results for classes, based on 300 000 cells/ml threshold, showed a little lower accuracy of classification. The analysis of changes in the loading of first PC factor for group of healthy milk and group of mastitic milk showed, that separation between classes was indirect and based on influence of mastitis on the milk components. The accuracy of mastitis detection by SIMCA method, based on NIR spectra of milk would allow health screening of cows and differentiation between healthy and mastitic milk samples. Having SIMCA models, mastitis detection would be possible by using only DIR spectra of milk, without any other analyses.

This paper analyzed the phenomenon of drain induced barrier lowering(DIBL) for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness of asymmetric double gate(DG) MOSFET. DIBL, the important secondary effect, is occurred for short channel MOSFET in which drain voltage influences on potential barrier height of source, and significantly affects on transistor characteristics such as threshold voltage movement. The series potential distribution is derived from Poisson's equation to analyze DIBL, and threshold voltage is defined by top gate voltage of asymmetric DGMOSFET in case the off current is 10^-7 A/m. Since asymmetric DGMOSFET has the advantage that channel length and channel thickness can significantly minimize, and short channel effects reduce, DIBL is investigated for the ratio of channel length vs. thickness in this study. As a results, DIBL is greatly influenced by the ratio of channel length vs. thickness. We also know DIBL is greatly changed for bottom gate voltage, top/bottom gate oxide thickness and channel doping concentration.

In this paper, We are going to propose the novel structure with improved behavior than the conventional vertical structure for VLSI CMOS circuits. For this, the proposed structure is the moat shape for STI. We want to analysis the characteristics of simulations about the electron concentration distribution, oxide layer shape of hot electron stress, potential flux and electric field flux, electric field fo themal damage and current-voltage characteristics in devices. Physically based models are the ambient and stress bias conditions of TCAD tool. As a analysis results, shallow trench structure were trended to be electric functions of passive as device dimensions shrink. The electrical characteristics influence of proposed STI structures on the transistor applications become stronger the potential difference electric field and saturation threshold voltage, are decreased the stress effects of active region. The fabricated device of based on analysis results data were the almost same characteristics of simulation results data.

Semiconductive SrTiO3 ceramic bodies were prepared by conventional ceramic powder processes in-cluding sintering in a reducing atmosphere. Sodium or potassium ions were diffused from the surface of the sintered bodies into the inner region using thermal diffusion process at 800-120$0^{\circ}C$. The effects of such ther-mal treatments on the electrical and chemical characteristics of the grain boundaries were investigated. The presence of sodium or potassium ions at grain boundaries produces non-linear current-voltage behaviors, electrical boundary potential barriers of 0.1-0.2eV, and threshold voltages of 10-70V. The diffused ions form diffusion layers with thicknesses of 20-50nm near the grain boundaries, reducing the concentration of strontium and oxygen.

It was reported that Dipsaci Radix has decrease pain effect on the Complex Region Pain Syndrome(CRPS). the CRPS was induced by unilateral loose occlusion in 4 part of the sciatic nerve of the rats. For the fingding significantly change on CRPS rats were divided into 4 different experimental groups. and each groups were induced CRPS. Experimental group I (control group; n=15), experimental group II (100 mg/kg Dipsaci Radix dieted rats; n=15), experimental group III (300 mg/kg Dipsaci Radix dieted rats; n=15), and experimental group IV(500 mg/kg Dipsaci Radix dieted rats; n=15). The study of Dipsaci Radix concentration was that foot withdrawal threshold to the thermal stimuli(Hot plate test), foot withdrawal threshold to the mechanical stimuli(von Frey's filament) and immunohistochemistry staining that were substance P. Hot plate test and von Frey Filament were increase in experimental group II, III, IV than group I, especially group III was most significantly change than group II and IV in post-hoc(Duncan's multiple range). and In immunohistochemistry observation; group I showed increase in the group II, III, IV. especially group III had the minimal level of the substance P expression while the experimental group II, III. These results suggested that the Dipsaci Radix dieted made the decrease of pain in CRPS.

In this paper, we propose over-reporting avoidance scheme which avoids congestion of network traffics by adjusting managed system's over-reporting, on the OSI network management model which reports events from managed system to managing system. In case of reporting events from managed system to managing system, management traffic concentration occurs, and it causes over-loading on the managing system and congestion on the network. This scheme takes advantage of feedback from managing system to managed system. Managed system transmits event reports as much as maximum event pertime allocated to itself to managing system, and it sets it's management variables to LOCK state and stops event reports as Threshold time is reached. At the time, managing system directs event reports again by using M-set primitive with referring it's status. With this scheme, distributed processing, dynamic network adaptation, convergence of optimal operation point is possible. In addition to it, a fairness is assured. In order to detect characteristics of the Unary feedback over-reporting avoidance scheme. It is observed a control capability of the event reporting and fairness of each nodes through measuring. ThresholdTime value. It is measured a number of mean activating nodes and maintained time of LOCK state according to event reporting load, and also measured lost ratio of management packet, queuing delay in managing system, and goodput to observe effects of general packet load. Binary feedback scheme. Unary feedback overreporting avoidance scheme and raw scheme on the OSI network management system each are compared and analyzed, and finally proved that the scheme proposed in this study performs better.

In case is below length 100nm of gate, various kinds problem can be happened with by threshold voltage change of device, occurrence of leakage current by tunneling because thickness of oxide by 1.5nm low scaling is done and doping concentration is increased. SiO$_2$ dielectric substance can not be used for gate insulator because is expected that tunneling current become 1A/cm$^2$ in 1.5nm thickness low. In this paper, devised double gate MOSFET(DGMOSFET) to decrease effect of leakage current by this tunneling. Therefore, could decrease effect of these leakage current in thickness 1nm low of SiO$_2$ dielectric substance. But, very big gate insulator of permittivity should be developed for develop device of nano scale.

Sulfur compounds which are well-known odor-active compounds in industrial area have very low detection threshold values. Trace amounts of volatile sulfur compounds in enviroment air around several odor sources were concentrated in liquid argon bath and determined by gas chromatograph with flame photometric detector (FPD) which exhibits very good selectivity and sensitivity. 25% ${\beta}$,${\beta}$-Oxydipropionitrile on 60/80 Chromosorb W was used as adsorbent for the preconcentration of sulfur compounds in air sample and also as packing material for a packed glass column. Concentration volume of air sample was different from place to place in the range of 0.1~3.0L. Atmospheric concentrations of sulfur compounds in air of residential districts and boundaries of business establishments, and also those in the exhausted gases of emission points such as a sewage disposal plant in industrial area were measured.
