In the future, self-contained sensors and processing units will need on-board, renewable power supplies to be truly autonomous. One way of supplying such power is through energy harvesting, processes by which ambient forms of energy are converted into electricity. One energy harvesting technique involves converting kinetic energy, in the form of vibrations, into electrical energy through the use of piezoelectric materials. Researchers are currently investigating how piezoelectric materials can be used to harvest power. This study examines the use of auxiliary structures, consisting of a mechanical fixture and a lead zirconate/lead titanate (PZT) piezoelectric element, which can be attached to any boundary conditions vibrating beam of the any boundary conditions. Adjusting various boundary conditions of these structures can maximize the strain induced in the attached PZT element and improve power output.

The purposes of this study were to develop a simulation model and to determine minimum specific airflow rate requirements for natural air drying of rough rice in Korea. A simulation model was developed considering energy and mass balances within grain bed, drying and rewetting rates, and hysterisis effect between sorption and desorption isotherms. As the results of validation test, the moisture contents predicted by the model agreed very well with the actual data. The criteria for determining minimum specific airflow rate requirements was that the top loom layer in the bin be dried to a moisture content below 16 percent wet basis with less than 0.5% drymatter decomposition. The minimum specific airflow rate requirements in 13 locations of Korea were presented based on the worst one among the past 7 to 13-year weather data. These requirements were also presented for all the combinations of three harvest dates and four harvest moisture contents. Specific airflow rate requirements seemed to be half by each 2 percent reduction in moisture content from 24 percent. As harvest date was delayed by 10 days from October 1, these requirements were reduced by about 20 to 40 percent.

This study was conducted to evaluate the genotoxcity of gamma-irradiated Undaria pinnadifida after harvest for enhancing the storage and microbial safety during drying process. The harvested seaweed was irradiated with the doses of 1 and 10 kGy. The genotoxicity was evaluated by Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay) and SOS chromotest. The results from all samples were negative in the bacterial reversion assay with S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100. No mutagenicity was detected in the assay, at both with and without metabolic activation. The SOS chromotest also indicated that the gamma-irradiated U. pinnadifida did not show any mutagenicity. Therefore, this study indicated that gamma irradiation could be used for extending the shelf-life of U. pinnadifida.

이 논문에서는 기존 외팔보 빔 형상을 가진 진동 에너지 하베스터의 작동 주파수 범위를 공진 주파수 이후로 확장하기 위해 새로운 형태의 진동 에너지 하베스터가 제시되었다. 압전 재료를 사용한 기존 외팔보 빔 형상의 진동 에너지 하베스터에 레버형 반공진 시스템에서 발생하는 극점-영점 상쇄 기법을 적용하여 작동 주파수 영역을 확장하였다. 간단한 이론적 해석 및 실험을 통해 제안된 광역 압전 진동 에너지 하베스터의 실현 가능성을 검증하였다.

With the growing need of more effective energy harvesting, solar energy has been sought as one of the prominent candidates among the eco-friendly methods. Although many types of solar cells have been developed, the electronic conversion efficiency is limited by the material's physical properties: solar cells can only harvest solar energy from limited range in solar energy spectrum. To overcome this physical limit, we approached by using the down conversion effect, transforming the high energy photons to low energy photons, to the range the designated solar cell can convert to electronic energy. In our study, we have fabricated GaAs single junction solar cells and applied CdSe quantum dots for down-conversion. We examine the effects of such application on the solar cell efficiancy, fill-factor, JSC, VOC, etc.

This paper reports a novel mobile-type wave energy harvesting system. The proposed system adopts a wave glider's propulsion mechanism. A wave glider's blades were mounted on a circular layout and generated a rotational motion. Combining the wave converting system with the wave glider, a mobile floating-type robotic buoy system was developed. It enabled the relocation of the buoy position, as well as station-keeping for long term operation. It had a small size and could efficiently harvest wave energy. A feasibility study and modeling were carried out, and a prototype system was constructed. Various tank tests were performed to optimize the proposed wave energy harvesting system.

오이의 파종 2일전 및 파종후 네 차례에 걸쳐 Mn-54, Co-60, Sr-85, Cs-137의 혼합용액을 온실내 재배상자의 토양에 처리하고 처리시기별 및 수확시기별 열매에 대한 전이계수($m^2$/㎏-fresh)를 측정하였다. 전이계수는 핵종, 처리시기 및 수확시기에 따라 최고 약 60배의 변이를 보였다. 처리시기에 따른 전이계수의 변화양상은 핵종간 및 수확시기간에 차이가 있었다. 핵종간에 전이계수는 대체로 Sr-85 > Mn-54 > Co-60 > Cs-137의 순이었다. 파종전 토양과의 혼합처리시 전이계수는 생육초기 토양표면 처리에 비해 Mn-54, Co-60, Cs-137의 경우 다소 높았으나 Sr-85의 경우 차이가 없었다. 생육초기 토양표면에 처리된 방사성 핵종의 토양층위별 농도는 재배종료후 토양 깊이에 따라 지수함수적으로 감소하고 처리량의 $80{\sim}99%$가 토심 3cm 이내에 분포하는 것으로 나타났다.핵종의 토양 침투성은 Sr-85 > Mn-54 > Co-60 > Cs-137의 순이었다. 본 연구결과는 오이의 재배기간중 토양의 방사능 오염시 열매내 방사성 핵종의 농도예측, 오이의 수확,소비 및 오이밭 제염 대책수립에 활용될 수 있다.

Hydrophilic reactive hot-melt polyurethane adhesive(HRHA) using a hydrophilic polyol having different molecular weight and NCO index was synthesized. This HRHA was synthesized using Polyethylene glycol(PEG) as a hydrophilic polyol, Polypropylene glycol(PPG) and Polycaprolactone diol(PCL) as hydrophobic polyols, and Methylene diphenyl diisocyanate(MDI) as an isocyanate. The changes in IR spectrum, viscosity and thermal properties of HRHA with different PEG molecular weights and NCO index were investigated, and the tensile strength and elongation of the HRHA casting film and the peel strength, moisture permeability and water pressure of the HRHA coated fabric were confirmed. In this experiment, as the molecular weight of PEG and NCO index increased, the adhesive strength, tensile strength, elongation and moisture permeability was increased but viscosity and Tg was decreased.

In this paper, we have proposed piezoelectric energy harvester employing the pillar structure with the diameter size of 500 um. So we have selected the Su-8 photo-resist and modified lithography process to manufacture the pillar structure with height above the $500{\mu}m$. Simultaneously, we tried to make a comparative study to use ceramic bulk - polymer structure In this paper, we will report the process and properties of micro pillar structure based on the PMN-PZT ($Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbZrTiO_3$) materials. Finally, We will propose a method for generating electrical energy with a piezoelectric element using vibration, an energy source can be obtained from the "clean" energy.
