This study was conducted to evaluate worker exposure to airborne asbestos fibers by industry, and to evaluate polarized-light microscopy for determining airborne asbestos fibers. A total of 11 plants including asbestos textile, brake-lining manufacturing, slate manufacturing, and automobile maintenance shops were investigated. Rsults of the study are summarized as follows. 1. Worker exposure levels to airborne asbestos fibers were the highest in asbestos textile industry, followed by brake-lining manufacturing, slate manufacturing, and automobile maintenance shops, in order. In asbestos textile industry, large variation of asbestos levels was found by plants. The worst plant indicated airborne fiber concentrations in excess of 10 fibers/cc, however, the best plant showed concentrations within 0.50 fibers/cc. 2. Characterization of airborne fibers by industry indicated that fibers from asbestos textile industry were the longest with the largest aspect ratio. Fibers from automobile maintenance shops were the shortest with the smallest aspect ratio. Based on characteristics of fibers and the highest levels of concentrations, it is concluded that workers in the asbestos textile industry are exposed to the highest risk of producing asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma. 3. Result s obtained using polarized-light microscopy were $43.7{\pm}12.3%$ of the results obtained using phase contrast microscopy. This may be resulted from the worse resolution of polarized-light microscopy than that of phase contrast microscopy. Based on the results, it is recommended that polarized-light microscopy be used for mainly bulk sample analyses and further study be performed to improve the method for determining airborne samples. However, polarized-light microscopy can be used for determining thick fibers.

In silk reeling process the carry-over cocoons must be submerged in the reeling baths filled with reeling water and left until reopening the operation. Under the detention the carry-over cocoons are apt to decay without any antiseptic treatment. Thus an useful antiseptic for the cocoons is urgently needed, and various antseptic agents have been tested for their applicability to the process. However, such an useful agent has not been developed yet. Formalin has been the only chemical used for antisepticizing carry-over cocoons, although it has many defects as the antiseptic for the cocoons. In these circumstances, recently we newly prepared an antiseptic useful for preventing the carryover cocoons from decaying. We named the new antiseptic preparation "Swi-Se-Yo." The Korean term "Swi-Se-Yo" literally means "please take a rest". Through a series of experiments with Swi-Se-Yo we obtained the following results: 1) Swi-Se-Yo, in 0.05% aqueous solution, exerted a good antiseptic effect on the boiled Cocoons submerged in the reeling baths and the effect lasted for 45 hours. The duration of the effect is about two times longer than that of Formalin. 2) The percentage of cocoon reel ability of the carry-over cocoons treated with Swi-Se-Yo was 6% higher than that of Formalin and was equal to that of flowing cold water. 3) The percentage of raw silk yield of the carry-over cocoons treated with Swi-Se-Yo was almost equal to that of Formalin and to that of flowing cold water. 4) The quality of raw silk of the carry-over cocoons treated with Swi-Se-Yo is the same as that of flowing cold water. Besides the above favourable results, Swi-Se-Yo has many advantages as an antiseptic. Chemically it is very stable. Its antimicrobial action is very strong and the spectrum is very broad. It can be available in water-soluble powder and in small bulk. And it is not harmful to human and domestic animals. Considering these profitable properties of Swi-Se-Yo, it will have a good reputation as a carry-over cocoon antiseptic. (The chemical composition and manufacturing method of Swi-Se-Yo will be published in the near future.)

Alumina powder was added in a general porcelain (Backja) with clay, feldspar and quartz contents to promote the mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) generation in the porcelain. Low melting materials ($B_2O_3(450^{\circ}C)$, $MnO_3(940^{\circ}C)$, CuO($1080^{\circ}C$)) were doped at ~3 wt% to modify the sinterability of porcelain with a high alumina contents and promote the mullite generation. Green body was made by slip casting method with blended slurry and then, they were fired at $1280^{\circ}C$ for 1hr by a $2^{\circ}C/min$. Densifications of samples with high alumina contents (20~30 wt%) were impeded. As the doping contents of low melting materilas increased, the sinterability of samples was improved. The shrinkage rate and bulk density of samples were improved by doping with low melting materials. Mullite phase increased with increasing the low melting contents in the phase analyses. This means lots of alumina and quartz were transformed into mullite phase by low melting contents doping. In the results, high bending strength of samples with high alumina contents was accomplished by improving the densification and mullite generation in the porcelain.

Biomass waste-derived carbon is an attractive alternative with environmental benignity to obtain carbon material. In this study, we prepare carbon from coffee grounds as a biomass precursor using a simple, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly method through physical activation using only steam. The coffee-derived carbon, having a micropore-rich structure and a low extent of graphitization of disordered carbon, is developed and directly applied to lithium-ion battery anode material. Compared with the introduction of the Ketjenblack (KB) conducting agent (i.e., coffee-derived carbon with KB), the coffee-derived carbon itself achieves a reversible capacity of ~200 mAh/g (0.54 lithium per 6 carbons) at a current density of 100 mA/g after 100 cycles, along with excellent cycle stability. The origin of highly reversible lithium storage is attributed to the consistent diffusion-controlled intercalation/de-intercalation reaction in cycle life, which suggests that the bulk diffusion of lithium is favorable in the coffee-derived carbon itself, in the absence of a conducting agent. This study presents the preparation of carbon material through physical activation without the use of chemical activation agents and demonstrates an application of coffee-derived carbon in energy storage devices.

The effects of melting temperature and holding time on the critical current density($J_c$) of $YBa_2Cu_3O_x$ based superconducting bulk fabricated by MPMG process were investigated. The amount of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phases increased with the melting temperature. However, the value of critical current density was highest at 1120 $^{\circ}C$. With this proper melting temperature, the effect of holding time on the critical characteristics was also investigated. In the case of Ag addition, the volume of the formed $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase when the amount of Ag addition was 10 wt% and 20 wt% was observed to be highest at 20 minute and 40 minute respectively. But in the specimen without Ag, volume of $Y_2BaCuO_5$ phase increased as the holding time increased. The proper melting temperature and the holding time obtained were 1120 $^{\circ}C$ and 20 minute. The long holding time was not effective for the $J_c$ improvement as well as the formation of $Y_2BaCuO_5$.

본 연구에서는 비선형 체적파 혼합 기법의 선행연구를 토대로 램파 기법에 적용하여 램파 혼합 기법에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 램파 혼합 기법의 타당성을 증명하기 위해 결함이 없는 시편과 부식에 의해 발생된 표면 결함이 있는 시편에 대해 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 대조군으로는 램파의 지배적인 면내변위와 면외변위를 가지는 모드 및 주파수로 선정하였다. 그 결과 램파 혼합 기법으로도 결함 검출이 가능하였고, 기존의 램파 기법의 경향성과 유사하게 나타났다. 그리고 이론과 동일한 지배적인 변위와 모드가 발생된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 결함 검출 성능은 측정 방법 및 단순 모드 선정에 따라 결정되는 것이 아니라 변위 비율에 따라 결정된다.

그래핀은 차세대 2차원 물질로서 지금까지 활발히 연구되어 왔으나 밴드갭이 없기 때문에 전자소자로서의 응용이 매우 제한적이다. 최근에 그래핀을 대체할 수 있는 물질로서 Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs)가 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, TMDs 중에서 $MoS_2$는 bulk일 때 indirect한 1.2 eV인 밴드 갭을 갖고 있으나, layer가 줄어들면서 direct한 1.8 eV인 밴드갭을 가진다. 국내외 여러 연구 그룹에서 $MoS_2$를 이용하여 제작한 Field Effect Transistor (FET)는 high-$\small{K}$ gate가 산입되지 않은 경우에 on-off ratio와 mobility가 각각 $10^6$와 약 $3cm^2/Vs$로 나타나고 있다. 이와 같이 아주 우수한 전기적, 광학적 특성을 갖는 소자 응용성을 가지고 있다. 최근까지의 연구결과들은 대부분 mechanical exfoliation method (MEM) 로 제작된 $MoS_2$ monolayer를 이용하였으나, 이 방법은 large scale 및 layer controllable에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 대면적의 집적회로 응용에 적합한 chemical vapor deposition법을 이용하여 $MoS_2$를 성장하였다. 높은 결정성을 위해 sulphur (powder purity 99.99%)와 molybdenum trioxide(powder purity 99.9%)를 이용하고, Ar 가스 분위기에서 sulphur powder 및 molybdenum trioxide powder를 각각 $130^{\circ}C$ 및 $1000^{\circ}C$로 유지하며 $MoS_2$ 박막을 성장하였다. 성장된 $MoS_2$ 박막은 Atomic force Microscopy (AFM)을 통해 박막의 단차와 roughness을 확인하였다. 또한, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern 분석으로 박막의 결정성을 확인하였으며, Raman Spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Photoluminescence (PL) 측정으로 광학적 특성을 분석하였다.

The Isolation of few-layered transition metal dichalcogenides has mainly been performed by mechanical and chemical exfoliation with very low yields. in particular, the two-dimensional layer of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has recently attracted much interest due to its direct-gap property and potential application in optoelectronics and energy harvesting. However, the synthetic approach to obtain high-quality and large-area MoS2 atomic thin layers is still rare. In this account, a controlled thermal reduction-sulfurization method is used to synthesize large-MoOx thin films are first deposited on Si/SiO2 substrates, which are then sulfurized (under vacuum) at high temperatures. Samples with different thicknesses have been analyzed by Raman spectroscopy and TEM, and their photoluminescence properties have been evaluated. We demonstrated the presence of mono-, bi-, and few-layered MoS2 on as-grown samples. It is well known that the electronic structure of these materials is very sensitive to the number of layer, ranging from indirect band gap semiconductor in the bulk phase to direct band gap semiconductor in monolayers. This synthetic approach is simple, scalable, and applicable to other transition metal dichalcogenides. Meanwhile, the obtained MoS2 films are transferable to arbitrary substrates, providing great opportunities to make layered composites by stacking various atomically thin layers.

출아효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 RNA-binding 단백질인 Tho1은 mRNA가 전사되는 동안 초기 mRNA에 결합하여 mRNP 생성과 성숙한 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 관여하는 것으로 여겨진다. 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe에서도 Tho1과 유사한 단백질을 암호화하는 유전자(spTho1로 명명)를 찾아 그 특성을 조사하였다. 이배체 S.pombe 균주에 하나의 spTho1 유전자만을 결실시킨 후 4분체분석을 수행한 결과, 이 유전자는 생장에 반드시 필요하지 않았다. 또한 spTho1 결실 돌연변이는 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출도 정상적으로 보였다. 그러나 티아민에 의해 발현이 조절되는 강력한 프로모터를 이용하여 spTho1를 과발현시키면, 세포의 생장이 억제되었으며 $poly(A)^+$ RNA가 핵 안에 축적되었다. 이와 같은 결과들은 spTho1 유전자가 필수적이지는 않지만 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 관여하고 있음을 시사한다.
