Weaning is a complex phase when the mammal suffers the action of different stressors that contribute to negatively affect the efficiency of the intestinal mucosa and of the whole local integrated system, that acts as barrier against any nocuous agent. The components of this barrier are mechanical, chemical, and bacteriological; immunological and not. The development of contact with a saprophyte microflora and the maintenance of feed intake after the interruption of motherly nutrition are essential for the maturation of an equilibrated local immune function and for a functional integrity of villi. Opportunities and limits of some dietary strategies that can contribute to reduce negative effects of weaning on health and performance are discussed. Knowledges on the possible mechanism of action of probiotics are upgraded, particularly for their supposed role in the balance between different immune functions (effectory/regulatory). Some tools to control pathogen microflora are reviewed (acids, herbs, immunoglobulin sources) and practical feeding systems are proposed.

We reported two new techniques of barrier rib formation that are applicable to a variety of structures for high-efficiency PDPs suitable for mass-production [1]. These two methods are mold replication and direct glass sculpting. Especial progress has since been made in improving these methods to be more suitable for high-efficiency PDPs with the DelTA cell structure. This paper reports photolithographic fabrication methods for the masters used in mold replication. The masters for more complex barrier rib forms are easier to make with these methods. The paper also reports a process that combines the direct glass sculpting method with an ink-jet printing method of electrode formation.

RCAR low speed impact test estimates repair cost of the impacted vehicle. In this study, for a mid-size vehicle front body model, structural performance for RCAR low speed impact were analyzed with changing the bumper stay shape and size. First, for improving the impact load transfer mechanism to side member the stay rear section shape at connecting area with side member was modified and the stay outer was redesigned to be normal to the barrier. Next, the investigation on stay thickness effect was carried out and the performances of several models with different forming shape were compared. The final design showed 13mm decrease in the maximum barrier intrusion distance and greatly reduced side member deformation. Additional analyses explained the validity of the final design.

In this experimental study we proposed the double dielectric barrier discharge (DDBD) reactor to produce as high an electric field as possible. The experiment are conducted for applied voltage from 15 to 20[kV], $1~4[\ell/min]$ of gas flow rate and 120[Hz] and 240[Hz] of pulse rate. Superposition discharge(SPD) generated in DDBD which combined the surface discharge with the silence discharge was the most effective to reduce the $NO_x$. In the decomposition efficiency per watt, the low pulse rate gave better efficiency than the high pulse rate. However in DeNOx rate, the high pulse rate gave better performance than the low pulse rate. $NO_x$ removal rate and efficiency increased with increasing the applied voltage in all reactors.

The effect of the wide-bandgap Schottky barrier enhancement cap layer on the performance of metal-semiconductor-metal photodetectors (MSMPD's) is presented. Judged by the dc characteristics, no considerable increase in recombination loss of carriers is resulted by the incorporation of the cap layer. However, about 45% of the detection efficiency is lost for the cap-layered MSMPD's even with a graded layer incorporated under pulse operation, and it was found to be due mainly to the capturing and slow release of the photocarriers at the heterointerface. The loss mechanism of the pulse detection efficiency is believed to be responsible for the intersymbol interference and the increased bit-error-rate (BER) observed in MSMPD's when used with a high bit rate pseudo-random-bit-stream (PRBS) data pattern.

The barrier height is found to increase from 0.25 to 0.690 eV for Schottky contacts on n-InGaAs using deposition of Ag on a substrate cooled to 77K(LT). Surface analysis leads to an interface model for the LT diode in which there are oxide compounds of In:O and As:O between the metal and semiconductor, leading to behavior as a metal-insulator-semiconductor diode. The metal film deposited t LT has a finer and more uniform structure, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy and in situ metal layer resistance measurement. This increased uniformity is an additional reason for the barrier height improvement. In contrast, the diodes formed at room temperature exhibit poorer performance due to an unpassivated surface and non-uniform metal coverage on a microscopic level.

Nanostructures have great potential in various devices due to the their promising electronic and optical properties. Nano-patterned the front surface of a solar cell generally results in improved performance, mostly due to an increase in the short-circuit current by the incident photons strike the cell surface at an angle. In this work, we investigate AFM-assisted nano-patterned field effect transistors (FETs) with vairous silicon oxide distance value D, from ${\sim}0.5{\mu}m$ to $1{\mu}m$. Also, we compared the electro-optical characteristics of the patterned FETs and the non-patterned FETs (reference device) based on both 2-dimensional simulation and experimental results for the wavelength from 100nm to 900nm. In addition, we report electric characteristics for illuminated surface in schottky barrier field effect transistors (SB-FETs).

Recently, LG chemical corporation developed new material called HYPERIER, which has an excellent barrier characteristic. It has many layers which are made of nano-composite within LDPE(Low-Density Poly Ethylene). In order to guarantee the quality of the final product from the production line, a certain test equipment is required to investigate the existence of layers inside the HYPERIER. In this work, ultrasonic sensor based test equipment for investigating the existence of inner layers is proposed. However, it is a tedious job for human operators to check the existence by just looking at the resounding waveform from ultrasonic sensor. Therefore, to enhance the performance of the ultrasonic test equipment, wavelet and PCA(Principle Componet Analysis) schemes are introduced into neural network scheme which is used for classification. To verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme, some experiments are executed.

A new approach for groundwater treatment combines a permeable Fe(0) barrier to breakdown higher chlorinated solvents like PCE and TCE with a downgradient aerobic biological treatment system to biotransform less chlorinated solvents, such as DCE and vinyl chloride (VC). The expected bacterial performance downgradient of an Fe(0) barrier was evaluated through laboratory batch experiments with a toluene-degrading mixed culture that cometabolically transforms cis-1,2-DCE and VC. The amount of cis-1,2-DCE (initially at 2,000 ppb) and VC (initially at 2,000 ppb) transformed was controlled by the initial toluene (20,000 ppb) concentration. VC was removed much more effectively than Cis-1,2-DCE, and a higher toluene concentration in comparison to the co-substrate concentrations was needed for complete co-substrate removal. Overall, the coupling of an Fe(0) barrier and subsequent biodegradation appears feasible for remediation of complex mixtures of chlorinated solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons in groundwater

Fuel Cell is used stacking metal or polymer substrate. This hydro property of substrate surface is very important. Usually, surface property is hydrophilic. The surface oxidation of SUS is investigated through plasma treatments with an atmospheric-pressure dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) for increasing hydrophilic property. The plasma process makes an experiment under various operating conditions of the DBD, which operating conditions are treatment time, plasma gas mixture ratio, the plasma source supply frequency. Two kinds of SUS substrate, SUS-304 and SUS 316L, were used. Discharge frequency has a crucial impact on equipment performance and gas treatment. After the plasma treatment of a SUS plate, highly improved wettability was noted. But, when high oxygen supply, the substrate damaged seriously.
