Hansenula nonfermentans KYP-l was selected and identified from 19 methanol utilizing yeasts isolated from soil samples by the enrichment culture technique. This strain showed a high cell concentration and a high aldehyde production. Aldehyde production was carried out in a resting cell system using methanol utilizing yeast as a biocatalyst. The molar yield of acetaldehyde was the highest among the aldehyde investigated, and the maximum amount of aldehyde was produced by cells obtained from a 40 hours' culture.

An anomalous current characteristics which show the superposition of a low current level and high current level at the subthreshold region when SONOSFETs are in memory states were investigated. We have assumed this phenomena were resulted from the effect of parasitic transistors by LOCOS isolation and were modeled to a parallel equivalent circuit of one memory transistor and two parasitic transistors. Theoretical curves are well fitted in measured log I$_{D}$-V$_{G}$ curves independent of channel width of memory devices. The difference between low current level and high current level is apparently decreased with decrease of channel width of devices because parasitic devices dominantly contribute to the current conduction with decrease of channel width of memory devices. As a result, we concluded that the LOCOS isolation has to selectively adopt in the design of process for charge-trap type NVSM.VSM.

The national long-term R&D program, updated in 1997, requires Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI) to complete by the year 2006 the basic design of Korea Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor(KALIMER), along with supporting R&D work, with the capability of resolving the issue of spent fuel storage as well as with significantly enhanced safety. KALIMER is a 150 MWe pool-type sodium cooled prototype reactor that uses metallic fuel. The conceptual design is currently under way to establish a self-consistent design meeting a set of major safety design requirements for accident prevention. Some of the current emphasis includes those for inherent and passive means of negative reactivity insertion and decay heat removal, high shutdown reliability, prevention of and protection from sodium chemical reaction, and high seismic margin, among others. All of these requirements affect the reactor design significantly and involve extensive supporting R&D programs. This paper summarizes some of the results of conceptual engineering and design analyses performed for the safety of HAMMER in the area of inherent safety, passive decay heat removal, sodium water reaction, and seismic isolation.

This paper describes work on isolation of vibration related engine by a hydraulic engine mount with controllable area of inertia track. Automotive engine mounts are required to constrain motion of engine shake resulting from low-frequency road input of shock excitation and also to isolate noise and vibration generated by the engine with unbalanced disturbance at the high frequency range. The property of the mount depends on vibration amplitude and excitation frequency, which means that the excitation amplitude is large in low excitation frequency range and small in high frequency range. In this paper, theoretical works with model of the mount to reduce vibrations related engine were conducted. The volumetric stiffness of the mount is greatly changed according to the switching the area of the inertia track. Therefore, when the area of the inertia track is tuned, the transmissibility of the mount is effectively reduced.

This paper report sthe design, fabrication and characterization of an AlGaAs/GaAs HBT (heterojunction bipolar transistor) with an air-bridge isolation structure which is made to improve high frequency characteristics for the application to the mobile communication system in the next genration. We found that the size, shape and structure of HBT have an effect on the high frequency operation. The measured dc and ac characteristics of the four type HBTs were compared and analyzed. An E-type HBT with an air-bridge structure by undercut etching exhibited .beta.=56, $V_{off-set}$ = 0.3 V, B $V_{CEO}$=7.0V with $f_{T}$=40 GHz and $f_{max}$=45GHz at a collector current density of 7.1*10$^{4}$ A/c $m^{2}$.>.

Laminated rubber bearings are widely used as a key component in seismic isolation of structural systems subjected to earthquake loadings. The combination of rubber layers and reinforcing steel shims makes the bearings conditionally unstable similar to buckling of ordinary columns. The shear flexibility of these short columns can lead to relatively low buckling Toads which may be further reduced when high shear strains are simultaneously imposed As an analytical approach, the area reduction formula has been proposed to account for the reduction in buckling load due to shear, but the degree of conservatism is unknown. In order to complement analytical approaches, a non-linear finite element analysis can be used. In this paper, a numerical study which aims at determining the effect of high shear strain on the critical load of elastomeric bearings is presented. From the load-displacement curve at each specified shear displacement, the buckling load can be obtained using the Southwell procedures. The results obtained are then compared against the theoretical predictions in order to examine the validity and the conservatism of the theoretical formulas.

This paper describes the design of SP3T PIN diode switch which has a 500W high power handling capability in $20{\sim}400MHz$ frequency range. Design factors were investigated and it was confirmed by simulation that the characteristics of insertion loss, VSWR, and isolation met design goal. Also, the capability to handle 500W high power with very fast switching speed of less than $26{\mu}s$ was confirmed and insertion loss of less than 1dB, VSWR of less than 1.4:1, and isolation of higher than 60dB were obtained by experiments.

Chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process has been widely used to planarize dielectric layers, which can be applied to the integrated circuits for deep sub-micron technology. The reverse moat etch process has been used for the shallow trench isolation(STI)-chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) process with conventional low selectivity slurries. Thus, the process became more complex, and the defects were seriously increased. In this paper, we studied the direct STI-CMP process without reverse moat etch step using high selectivity slurry(HSS). As our experimental results show, it was possible to achieve a global planarization without the complicated reverse moat process, the STI-CMP process could be dramatically simplified, and the defect level was reduced. Therefore the throughput, yield, and stability in the ULSI semiconductor device fabrication could be greatly improved.

In this paper, a new type of passive energy dissipating system similar to added damping and stiffness (ADAS) and triangular added damping and stiffness (TADAS) is proposed and implemented in the analytical model of a building with hybrid structural system in the structure's base which we call it; Telescopic column. The behavior and performance of a high rise R.C. structure equipped with this system is investigated and compared with conventional base isolation systems such as rubber isolator bearings and friction pendulum bearings. For this purpose a series of ground acceleration records of the San Fernando, Long Beach and Imperial Valley earthquakes are used as the disturbing ground motions in a series of numerical simulations. The nonlinear numerical modeling which includes both material and geometric nonlinearities were carried out by using SAP2000 program. Results show suitable behavior of structures equipped with telescopic columns in controlling the upper stories drifts and accelerations.

Nuclear power plants have logical loop structures in their system configuration. This paper explains the method to solve a loop structure in reliability analysis. As examples of loop structured systems, the reactor core isolation cooling system and high-pressure core injection system of a boiling water reactor are considered and analyzed under a station blackout accident condition. The analysis results show the important role of loop structures under severe accidents. For the evaluation of the safety of nuclear power plants, it is necessary to accurately evaluate a loop structure's reliability.
