Recently, various attempts to produce a heat sink made of Al 6xxx alloys have been carried out using die-casting. In order to apply die-casting, the Al alloys should be verified for die-soldering ability with die steel. It is generally well known that both Fe and Mn contents have effects on decreasing die soldering, especially with aluminum alloys containing substantial amounts of Si. However, die soldering has not been widely studied for the low Si aluminum (1.0~2.0wt%) alloys. Therefore, in this study, an investigation was performed to consider how the soldering phenomena were affected by Fe and Mn contents in low Si aluminum alloys. Each aluminum alloy was melted and held at $680^{\circ}C$. Then, STD61 substrate was dipped for 2 hr in the melt. The specimens, which were air cooled, were observed using a scanning electron microscope and were line analyzed by an electron probe micro analyzer. The SEM results of the dipping soldering test showed an Al-Fe inter-metallic layer in the microstructure. With increasing Fe content up to 0.35%, the Al-Fe inter-metallic layer became thicker. In Al-1.0%Si alloy, the additional content of Mn also increased the thickness of the inter-metallic layer compared to that in the alloy without Mn. In addition, EPMA analysis showed that Al-Fe inter-metallic compounds such as $Al_2Fe$, $Al_3Fe$, and $Al_5Fe_2$ formed in the die soldering layers.

In order to overcome the recrystallization embrittlement and irradiation embrittlement of Mo, which are major problems for its fusion applications, internally nitrided Mo alloys were prepared by a novel multi-step internal nitriding. Neutron irradiation was performed in the Japan Material Testing Reactor (JMTR). After irradiation, nitrided Mo alloys exhibited $\iota$ ower ductile-brittle transition temperature than irradiated TZM. These results suggested that multi-step internal nitriding was effective to the improvement in the embrittlement by irradiation. Transmission electron microscope observation revealed that TiN particles precipitated by nitriding acted as a sink for irradiation-induced defects.

$TiO_2$는 금속 산화물의 일종으로서 자체가 가지고 있는 물리화학적 안정성, 무독성, 탁월한 유기물의 산화분해력 등으로 인해 저농도의 환경 유해물질 정화 분야로 응용이 활발히 연구되고 있는 반도체 물질이다. 그러나 $TiO_2$는 자외선 영역대(${\lambda}$ < 387 nm, 태양광의 2.7%가 UV)의 빛을 통해서 활성을 나타내고, 여기된 전자의 빠른 전자-정공 재결합속도로 인해 광 효율이 저하되는 단점을 갖는다. 따라서 광 감응 파장대를 넓히고 재결합속도를 길게 함으로써 광효율을 높이고, 광촉매 활성을 증대하는 방향으로 연구의 초점이 모아지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 광촉매의 광 감응 파장대를 가시광선 영역으로 확대함과 동시에 여기된 전자와 정공의 재결합시간을 연장하기 위하여 백금(Pt)이 광침적(photodeposition)된 탄소(C) 도핑 $TiO_2$를 제조하였다. 제조한 $Pt-C-TiO_2$의 특성은 전자투과현미경(Transmission Electron Microscopic; TEM), 질소흡탈착법(Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method; BET), X-ray 회절 분석법(X-ray Diffractometer; XRD), 분광 산란 광도계(UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy; UV-Vis DRS), X-ray 광전자 광도계(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy; XPS)를 통하여 살펴보았다. $Pt-C-TiO_2$의 광촉매 활성을 검증하기 위하여 아조 계열의 붉은색 염료인 Acid Red 44 ($C_{10}H_7N=NC_{10}H_3(SO_3Na)_2OH$)의 광분해 실험을 수행하였다. 광원은 Xe arc 램프(300 W, Oriel)를 사용하였으며 420 nm 이하 제거 필터를 사용하여 가시광 영역대의 빛만을 조사되도록 하였다. 그 결과, 제조한 $Pt-C-TiO_2$는 가시광선 하에서 사용제품과 비교하여 월등히 뛰어난 분해력을 보이며 $C-TiO_2$의 활성을 한 층 더 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 이는 무한 에너지 자원인 태양광을 이용한 염료 폐수 정화 시스템 응용으로의 유용한 결과라 할 수 있겠다.

Methane is known to be one of the major greenhouse gases. On a global scale, livestock farming may contribute 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Though methane contribution is less than 2% of all the factors leading to global warming, it plays an important role because it is 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide. Methane emission is a direct result of the fermentation process performed by ruminal microorganisms and, in particular, the archael methanogens. Reducing methane emission would benefit both ruminant production and the environment. Methane generation can be reduced by electron-sink metabolic pathways to dispose of the reducing moieties. An alternative way for methane control in the rumen is to apply inhibitors against methanogens. Generating methane from manure has considerable merit because it appears to offer at least a partial solution to two pressing problems-environmental crisis and energy shortage. An obvious benefit from methane production is the energy value of the gas itself. Control of methane emission by rumen microbes in Korea has mainly been focused on application of various chemicals, such as BES and PMDI, that inhibit the growth and activity of methanogens in the rumen. Alternatives were to apply long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and oils with or without organic acids (malate and fumarate). The results for trials with methane reducing agents and the situation of biogas production industries and a typical biogas plant in Korea will be introduced here.

High power light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are widely used in many device applications due to its ability to operate at high power and produce high luminance. However, releasing the heat accumulated in the device during operating time is a serious problem that needs to be resolved to ensure high optical efficiency. Ceramic or Aluminium base metal printed circuit boards are generally used as integral parts of communication and power devices due to its outstanding thermal dissipation capabilities as heat sink or heat spreader. We investigated the characterisation of electroless plating of Ni-B film according to plating bath temperature, ranging from $50^{\circ}C$ to $75^{\circ}C$ on Ag paste/anodised Al ($Al_2O_3$)/Al substrate to be used in metal PCB for high power LED packing systems. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) were used in the film analysis. By XRD result, the structure of the as deposited Ni-B film was amorphous irrespective of bath temperature. The activation energy of electroless Ni-B plating was 59.78 kJ/mol at the temperature region of $50{\sim}75^{\circ}C$. In addition, the Ni-B film grew selectively on the patterned Ag paste surface.

전자소자의 방열모듈에서 두께 방향의 열방출 특성에 대한 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 금속과 금속의 본딩 및 유전체와 금속의 본딩 구조를 갖는 2가지 종류의 2층 층상재료를 제조한 후 두께 방향으로 열확산계수를 측정하였다. 금속(STS439)과 금속(Al6061)으로 이루어진 2층 층상재료에서는 섬광법(LFA)으로 열확산계수를 측정했을 때, 열흐름의 방향을 반대로 변화시켜도 열확산계수의 변화가 없었다. 그런데, 유전체(AlN-Polymer)와 금속(Al6061)의 2층 층상재료에서는 열흐름의 방향을 반대로 인가하였을 때 열확산계수는 17.5% 정도 다르게 나타났다. 유전체와 금속의 단면구조를 갖는 2층 층상재료에서, 금속에서 유전체 방향으로 측정한 열확산계수가 유전체에서 금속 방향으로 측정한 열확산계수에 비해 17.5% 작게 나타난 이유는, 금속내의 전자가 갖고 있던 에너지가 유전체 쪽으로 전달되기 위해서는 계면 주변에서 포논의 에너지 형태로 변환될 때 저항이 생기기 때문이다.

The abatement of methane emission from ruminants is an important global issue due to its contribution to greenhouse gas with carbon dioxide. Methane is generated in the rumen by methanogens (archaea) that utilize metabolic hydrogen ($H_2$) to reduce carbon dioxide, and is a significant electron sink in the rumen ecosystem. Therefore, the competition for hydrogen used for methanogenesis with alternative reductions of rumen microbes should be an effective option to reduce rumen methanogenesis. Some methanogens parasitically survive on the surface of ciliate protozoa, so that defaunation or decrease in protozoa number might contribute to abate methanogenesis. The most important issue for mitigation of rumen methanogenesis with manipulators is to secure safety for animals and their products and the environment. In this respect, prophylactic effects of probiotics, prebiotics and miscellaneous compounds to mitigate rumen methanogenesis have been developed instead of antibiotics, ionophores such as monensin, and lasalocid in Japan. Nitrate suppresses rumen methanogenesis by its reducing reaction in the rumen. However, excess intake of nitrate causes intoxication due to nitrite accumulation, which induces methemoglobinemia. The nitrite accumulation is attributed to a relatively higher rate of nitrate reduction to nitrite than nitrite to ammonia via nitroxyl and hydroxylamine. The in vitro and in vivo trials have been conducted to clarify the prophylactic effects of L-cysteine, some strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast and/or ${\beta}$1-4 galactooligosaccharide on nitrate-nitrite intoxication and methanogenesis. The administration of nitrate with ${\beta}$1-4 galacto-oligosaccharide, Candida kefyr, and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis were suggested to possibly control rumen methanogenesis and prevent nitrite formation in the rumen. For prebiotics, nisin which is a bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis has been demonstrated to abate rumen methanogenesis in the same manner as monensin. A protein resistant anti-microbe (PRA) has been isolated from Lactobacillus plantarum as a manipulator to mitigate rumen methanogenesis. Recently, hydrogen peroxide was identified as a part of the manipulating effect of PRA on rumen methanogenesis. The suppressing effects of secondary metabolites from plants such as saponin and tannin on rumen methanogenesis have been examined. Especially, yucca schidigera extract, sarsaponin (steroidal glycosides), can suppress rumen methanogenesis thereby improving protein utilization efficiency. The cashew nutshell liquid (CNSL), or cashew shell oil, which is a natural resin found in the honeycomb structure of the cashew nutshell has been found to mitigate rumen methanogenesis. In an attempt to seek manipulators in the section on methane belching from ruminants, the arrangement of an inventory of mitigation technologies available for the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and Joint Implementation (JI) in the Kyoto mechanism has been advancing to target ruminant livestock in Asian and Pacific regions.

During reactor operation, the divertor must withstand unprecedented simultaneous high heat fluxes and high-energy neutron irradiation. The extremely severe service environment of the divertor imposes a huge challenge to the bonding quality of divertor joints, i.e., the joints must withstand thermal, mechanical and neutron loads, as well as cyclic mode of operation. In this paper, potassium-doped tungsten (KW) is selected as the plasma facing material (PFM), oxygen-free copper (OFC) as the interlayer, oxide dispersion strengthened copper (ODS-Cu) alloy as the heat sink material, and reduced activation ferritic/martensitic (RAFM) steel as the structural material. In this study, a vacuum brazing technology is proposed and optimized to bond Cu and ODS-Cu alloy with the silver-free brazing material CuSnTi. The most appropriate brazing parameters are a brazing temperature of 940 ℃ and a holding time of 15 min. High-quality bonding interfaces have been successfully obtained by vacuum brazing technology, and the average shear strength of the as-obtained KW/Cu and ODS-Cu alloy joints is ~268 MPa. And a fabrication route for manufacturing the flat-type divertor target based on brazing technology is set. For evaluating the reliability of the fabrication technologies under the reactor relevant condition, the high heat flux test at 20 MW/m² for the as-manufactured flat-type KW/Cu/ODS-Cu/RAFM mockup is carried out by using the Electron-beam Material testing Scenario (EMS-60) with water cooling. This paper reports the improved vacuum brazing technology to connect Cu to ODS-Cu alloy and summarizes the production route, high heat flux (HHF) test, the pre and post non-destructive examination, and the surface results of the flat-type KW/Cu/ODS-Cu/RAFM mockup after the HHF test. The test results demonstrate that the mockup manufactured according to the fabrication route still have structural and interfacial integrity under cyclic high heat loads.

일부 수생식물은 휴면구조로 엽상체가 변형된 잠아를 형성하여 적응 생존한다. 부유부엽성 식물인 개구리밥은 가을에 형성된 잠아로 동절기 물속에 가라앉아 휴면상태로 겨울을 난다. 이들 잠아는 엽상체의 특정 부위에서 기원하나 모엽상체와 달리 통기조직의 발달이 미흡하고 조직의 밀도가 높아 수중 침강에 유리한 구조로 분화된다. 잠아조직 내에는 일반적으로 기온상승 시 생장재개에 바로 이용할 수 있는 영양분이 저장되어 있다. 이러한 특성을 지닌 개구리밥 잠아의 형성 및 발아에 대해서는 생리적, 생화학적으로 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있으나 잠아조직 세포의 미세구조 연구는 미흡한 상태이다. 이 연구에서는 엽상체와 잠아 엽육조직의 분화, 통기조직의 발달, 녹말의 분포, 세포수준에서의 미세구조 발달양상을 비교 연구하였다. 엽육조직이 비교적 분화되어 있는 모엽상체는 통기조직이 잘 발달되어 엽상체 용적의 약 $37{\sim}45%$를 차지하였다. 반면, 잠아는 엽육조직의 분화 없이 조직 내 통기조직의 발달이 미흡하여 전체 용적의 약 $9{\sim}15%$를 차지하였다. 모엽상체 엽육세포와 달리 잠아 세포내 세포질은 매우 치밀하며 엽록체 기질에는 녹말이 다량 축적되어 있다. 엽록체, 세포벽, 액포, 세포막은 모엽상체 세포내 특성과 다른 양상으로 분화하였다. 이와 같이 잠아는 통기조직의 미흡한 발달, 세포질의 높은 밀도, 녹말의 다량 축적 등으로 조직의 밀도를 높게 하여 겨울철 휴면상태에 잘 적응된 구조로 발달시켜 축소된 개구리밥 식물체 생활사에 중요한 역할을 수행하는 독특한 구조로 분화하였다. 매우 빠른 생장으로 수면에 넓게 분포하는 개구리밥은 수생환경에 필요한 양분 및 빛을 차단하여 수생의 생태에 나쁜 영향을 미치기도 한다. 그러나 잠아형성 촉진 조건을 가해 주면 식물체는 쉽게 물속에 가라앉아 휴면상태를 유지할 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 다른 식물 종들은 생장 및 형성 조건을 조절하기 어렵지만 개구리밥 식물체의 잠아는 이러한 구조적 특징으로 형성이 쉽게 조절될 수 있어 수생환경 개선에 유망한 후보가 되고 있다. 향후 본 연구의 모엽상체와 잠아의 생장 및 구조 특성을 이용하여 유사 수생식물 잠아의 생장특성에 적용하면 수생환경정화 등의 영역에서 유용하게 활용될 수 있는 휴면구조가 될 것이다.
