The purpose of this study is to collect basic data which are prerequisite for quantitative analysis of coal logging data. The study involves laboratory measurements of physical properties such as seismic velocities (P,S-waves), resitivity and density of domestic and imported foreign coals. The relationships between these properties were analyzed by using cross-plots. Correlation between the physical properties of coal and the results of chemical analysis (calorie, fixed carbon, ash, moisture, volatile matter and sulfur contents) was also studied to obtain ideas about coal quality analysis using logging data. Summarized results are as follows: 1. $V_P$ is exponentialy related to $V_S$. And the average value of $V_P$ is about l.8 times as large as $V_S$. 2. Since coal has very low density compared with surrounding sedimentary rocks, density logging is appeared to be the best method for identifying coal seams and evaluating their qualities. 3. For the case of domestic coals, the ash contents and calorie show a perfect inverse relationship. Since the density increases as increase of ash content with a well-defined functional form, the ash content of domestic coals can be estimated by density measurements. 4. Because of low ash content, low density and high resistivity, foreign coals and domestic lignites are easily distinguished from domestic coals.

Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, Immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize micro-spheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio or synthesized microspheres was always smatter than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6-13 times higher than thats of the ml crospheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin Is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption Isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin ) . The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined.p was also examined.

Vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFB) have emerged as large-scale energy storage systems (ESS) due to their advantages such as low cross-contamination, long life, and flexible design. However, Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the negative half-cell causes a harmful influence on the performance of the VRFB by consuming current. Moreover, HER hinders V²⁺/V³⁺ redox reaction between electrode and electrolyte by forming a bubble. To address the HER problem, carbon nanotube/graphite felt electrode (CNT/GF) with oxygen functional groups was synthesized through the hydrothermal method in the H₂SO₄ + HNO₃ (3:1) mixed acid solution. These oxygen functional groups on the CNT/GF succeed in suppressing the HER and improving charge transfer for V²⁺/V³⁺ redox reaction. As a result, the oxygen functional group applied electrode exhibited a low overpotential of 0.395 V for V²⁺/V³⁺ redox reaction. Hence, this work could offer a new strategy to design and synthesize effective electrodes for HER suppression and improving the energy density of VRFB.

오존 처리된 저밀도 폴리에틸렌 (LDPE) 필름의 표면 작용기와 표면 자유에너지에 대하여 고찰하였다. 오존 표면처리 조건을 각각 처리시간, 오존 생산량, 그리고 오존의 농도로 변화시켰으며, 오존 처리된 LDPE 필름 표면에 도입된 작용기는 FTIR-ATR과 XPS 분석을 통하여 알아보았다 LDPE 필름의 표면 자유에너지는 접촉각 측정을 통하여 고찰하였다. 실험결과, 오존으로 표면처리된 LDPE 픽름은 표면에 형성된 산소 함유 작용기로 인하여 물 접촉각이 15$^{\circ}$ 정도 감소하였고, 그 결과 표면 자유에너지의 증가및 $O_{IS}$ / $C_{IS}$ 의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 표면 자유에너지와 산소 함유 작용기는 오존 표면처리 시간과 오존의 농도에 비례하는 관계를 보인 반면, 오존의 총 발생량의 변화는 표면 자유에너지 및 $O_{IS}$ / $C_{IS}$ 의 증가와는 무관하였다. Kubelka-Munk 식을 이용한 염색성 측정 결과로부터, 오존 표면처리는 LDPE 필름 표면에 산소 작용기를 형성시키는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최종 염기성 염료에의 염색성을 향상시켰다.

Plasma spray processes for functional coatings of tubular SOFC ( Soild oxide Fuel Cell).consisting of air electrode, oxide electrolyte, an fuel electrode, are optimized by fully saturated fractional factorial testing. Material and electric characteristics of each coating are analtsed by the implementation of SEM and optical microscope for evaluating microstructure and porosity, X-ray diffraction method for investigating compositional change between raw powder and sprayed coating, and Van der Pauw method for measuring electrical conductivity. LSM ($La_{0.65}Sr_{0.35}MnO_3$air electrode and Ni-YSL fuel electrode coatings have porosities of around 23~30% sufficient for effective fuel and oxidant gas supply to electrochemical reaction interfaces and electrical conductivities of around 90 S/cm and 1000 S/cm, respectively, enough for acting as current collecting electrodes. YSZ($ZrO_2-8mol%Y_2O_3$) electrolyte film has a high ionic conductivities of 0.05~0.07 S/cm at $1000^{\circ}C$ in air atmosphere, but appears to be somewhat too porous to reduce the thickness. for enhancing the cell efficiency. A unit tubular SOFC has beem fabricated by the optimized plasma spray processes for each functional coating and the cell. Its electrochemical chracteristics are investigated by measuring voltage-current and power density with variation of operationg temperature, radio of fuel to air gas flowrates, and total gas flowrate of reactants.

Besides promising implications as fertile nuclear materials, thorium carbonitrides are of great interest owing to their peculiar physical and chemical properties, such as high density, high melting point, good thermal conductivity. This paper reports first-principles simulation results on the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of cubic thorium carbonitrides $ThC_xN_{(1-x)}$ (X = 0.03125, 0.0625, 0.09375, 0.125, 0.15625) employing formalism of density-functional-theory. For the simulation of physical properties, we incorporated full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave (FPLAPW) method while the exchange-correlation potential terms in Kohn-Sham Equation (KSE) are treated within Generalized-Gradient-Approximation (GGA) in conjunction with Perdew-Bruke-Ernzerhof (PBE) correction. The structural parameters were calculated by fitting total energy into the Murnaghan's equation of state. The lattice constants, bulk moduli, total energy, electronic band structure and spin magnetic moments of the compounds show dependence on the C/N concentration ratio. The electronic and magnetic properties have revealed non-magnetic but metallic character of the compounds. The main contribution to density of states at the Fermi level stems from the comparable spectral intensity of Th (6d+5f) and (C+N) 2p states. In comparison with spin magnetic moments of ThSb and ThBi calculated earlier with LDA+U approach, we observed an enhancement in the spin magnetic moments after carbon-doping into ThN monopnictide.

본고는 캐나다의 도시권 획정을 고찰하였다. 구체적으로 캐나다 통계청(Statistics Canada)이 센서스 연도마다 정의하는 Census Metropolitan Area/census Agglomeration(CMA/CA)에 초점을 맞추었다. CMA/CA의 획정은 도시지역의 공간적 정의를 위한 밀도접근, 토지이용 접근, 기능지역 접근 중에서 기능지역 접근에 근거한다. 그러나 CMA/CA는 그 획정과정에서 밀도접근 및 토지이용접근을 토대로 캐나다 통계청이 정의하는 등질지역으로서의 도시지역(Urban Area, UA)을 활용한다는 특성을 갖는다. 실제로 인구 10,000명 이상의 UA는 CMA/CA의 중심부가 된다. 캐나다의 CMA/CA 고찰을 통해, 본고는 우리나라 도시권 획정에 고려할만한 주요사항을 제시하였다.

The structural, electronic, and optical properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) have been comprehensively studied by density functional theory (DFT) to rationalize the experimentally observed properties. Rather, we employed periodic boundary conditions (PBC) method to simulate the polymer block, and calculated effective charge mass from the band structure calculation for describing charge transport properties. The simulated results of P3HT are consistent with the experimental results in band gaps, absorption spectra, and effective charge mass. Based on the same calculated methods as P3HT, a series of polymers have been designed on the basis of the two types of building blocks, furofurans and furofurans substituted with cyano (CN) groups, to investigate suitable polymers toward polymer solar cell (PSC) materials. The calculated results reveal that the polymers substituted with CN groups have good structural stability, low-lying FMO energy levels, wide absorption spectra, and smaller effective masses, which are due to their good rigidity and conjugation in comparison with P3HT. Besides, the insertion of CN groups improves the performance of PSC. Synthetically, the designed polymers PFF1 and PFF2 are the champion candidates toward PSC relative to P3HT.

Extremely dense WC with a relative density of up to 99% was obtained within five minutes under a pressure of 80 MPa using the High-Frequency Induction Heated Sintering method. The average grain size of the WC was about 71 nm. The advantage of this process is not only rapid densification to obtain a neartheoretical density but also the prohibition of grain growth in nano-structured materials. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense WC produced by HFIHS were $2660kg{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ and $7.2MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.
