Nickel oxide is a nonstoichiometric transparent conductive oxide with p-type conductivity, a wide-band energy gap of 3.4~4.0 eV, and excellent chemical stability, making it a very important candidate as a material for bipolar devices. P-type conductivity in Transparent Conductive Oxides (TCO) is controlled by the oxygen vacancy concentration. During the TCO film deposition process, additional oxygen diffusing into the NiO structure causes the formation of Ni 3p ions and Ni vacancies. This eventually affects the hole concentration of the p-type oxide thin film. In this work, the surface morphology and the electrical characteristics were confirmed in accordance with the annealing atmosphere of the nickel oxide thin film.

The grade analysis of lead-zinc ore is the basis for the optimal development and utilization of deposits. In this study, a method combining Prompt Gamma Neutron Activation Analysis (PGNAA) technology and machine learning is proposed for lead-zinc mine borehole logging, which can identify lead-zinc ores of different grades and gangue in the formation, providing real-time grade information qualitatively and semi-quantitatively. Firstly, Monte Carlo simulation is used to obtain a gamma-ray spectrum data set for training and testing machine learning classification algorithms. These spectra are broadened, normalized and separated into inelastic scattering and capture spectra, and then used to fit different classifier models. When the comprehensive grade boundary of high- and low-grade ores is set to 5%, the evaluation metrics calculated by the 5-fold cross-validation show that the SVM (Support Vector Machine), KNN (K-Nearest Neighbor), GNB (Gaussian Naive Bayes) and RF (Random Forest) models can effectively distinguish lead-zinc ore from gangue. At the same time, the GNB model has achieved the optimal accuracy of 91.45% when identifying high- and low-grade ores, and the F₁ score for both types of ores is greater than 0.9.

We quantify the relative role of galaxy environment and bar presence on AGN triggering in face-on spiral galaxies using a volume-limited sample with 0.02 < z < 0.055, Mr < 19.5, and σ > 70 km s-1 selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7. To separate their possible entangled effects, we divide the sample into bar and non-bar samples, and each sample is further divided into three environment cases of isolated galaxies, interacting galaxies with a pair, and cluster galaxies. The isolated case is used as a control sample. For these six cases, we measure AGN fractions at a fixed central star formation rate and central velocity dispersion, σ. We demonstrate that the internal process of the bar-induced gas inflow is more efficient in AGN triggering than the external mechanism of the galaxy interactions in groups and cluster outskirts. The significant effects of bar instability and galaxy environments are found in galaxies with a relatively less massive bulge. We conclude that from the perspective of AGN-galaxy coevolution, a massive black hole is one of the key drivers of spiral galaxy evolution. If it is not met, a bar instability helps the evolution, and in the absence of bars, galaxy interactions/mergers become important. In other words, in the presence of a massive central engine, the role of the two gas inflow mechanisms is reduced or almost disappears. We also find that bars in massive galaxies are very decisive in increasing AGN fractions when the host galaxies are inside clusters.

An ultimate goal of periodontal therapy is to stop the disease process and to regenerate a functionally-oriented periodontium destroyed as a result of periodontal disease. The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of grafting granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket on the regeneration of horizontal furcation defect. Six dogs were used in this study. All mandibular first and third premolars were extracted. At 2, 3, and 5 days after extraction, tissues were obtained from extraction socket of 1 mongrel dog and examined by light microscope. Granulation tissue obtained at 5 days after extraction was chosen as the graft material. Five days later, horizontal furcation defects were created surgically at mandibular second and fourth premolars in the right and left side of the 5 beagle dogs. The entrance area of the artificially prepared "key hole" defects were about $3\;4mm^2$. By random selections, 2 exposed furcation defects were grafted with granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket as experimental group and 1 furcation defect was as control. The flaps were replaced to their original position and sutured with 4-0 chromic cat-gut. Three dogs were sacrificed 4 weeks and two dogs 8 weeks after surgery, and the prepared specimens were examined by light microscope. At 4 weeks, furcations were filled with epithelial lining and fibrous connective tissue infiltrated with chronic inflammatory cells. New bone formation was observed in all groups. Only experimental group showed new cementum formation. At 8 weeks, new cementum, functional arrangement of new PDL fiber, root resorption, and some ankylotic union of newly formed alveolar bone and root surface were observed in all groups. Experimental group showed that epithelial downgrowth was inhibited and new bone formation was more active compared to control. The success rate of the furcation defect healing was higher in experimental group than control. These results suggested that grafting of granulation tissue obtained from extraction socket which combined with reconstructive periodontal flap surgery may promote periodontal regeneration of horizontal furcation defect.

본 연구에서는 2006년 1월부터 2009년 2월까지 자연 상태에서 만들어진 솟는 고드름(n=107)을 관측, 분석하여 실험실에서 솟는 고드름을 재현할 수 있는 실험 장치를 개발했다. 이 장치를 이용하여 동영상 관측과 실험(531개의 솟는 고드름 생성)을 통해 그 생성과 성장 원리를 연구했다. 용기의 아래 부분이 위쪽 보다 더 차가운 상태에서 용기 바닥과 물 표면에서부터 얼음이 얼기 시작하는데, 표면에서 얼음이 얼지 않는 부분을 숨구멍이라고 하며 이곳으로부터 솟는 고드름이 만들어지기 시작한다. 솟는 고드름이 만들어지기 시작한 후 계속 성장하기 위해서는 용기 하부의 물이 얼음으로 변할 때의 부피 팽창 효과와 숨구멍을 통해 올라오는 과냉각수의 빠른 빙결 효과 등이 관련된다. 실험 장치에서 아이스 트레이 큐브에 증류수를 넣고, -12- $-13^{\circ}C$의 온도를 약 1시간 30분 정도 유지시키면 수면에 살얼음과 숨구멍이 생기기 시작한다. 숨구멍으로부터 생기기 시작한 솟는 고드름은 10-30분 동안 성장하고, 끝이 막히면서 성장을 멈춘다. 솟는 고드름의 형태는 7가지로 분류되며 자연 상태에서는 꼭지형과 기운형이 많았고, 실험실에서는 수직형이 가장 많았다.

The procedure that enhances osteogenesis and shortens the healing period is required for successful implant therapy. It has been introduced that osteogenesis is enhanced by the generation of electric field. Many researchers have demonstrated that application of electric and electromagnetic field promote bone formation. It also has been shown that electrical stimulation enhances peri-implant bone formation. Recently, several investigators have reported that noninvasive electrical stimulation using negatively charged electret such as polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) promotes osteogenesis. Therefore, we were interested in the effect of noninvasive electrical stimulation using negatively charged electret on the periimplant bone healing. After titanium implant were installed in the proximal tibial metaphysis of New Zealand white rabbit, negatively charged PTFE membrane fabricated by corana dischage was inserted into the inner hole of the experimental implant and noncharged membrane was applied into control implant. After 4 weeks of healing, histomorphometric analysis was performed to evaluate peri-implant bone response. The histomorphometric evaluations demonstrated experimental implant tended to have higher values in the total bone-to-implant contact ratio(experimental ; $49.9{\pm}13.52%$ vs control ; $37.5{\pm}19.44%$) , the marrow bone contact ratio(experimental ; $34.94{\pm}13.32%$ vs control ; $24.15{\pm}13.69%$), amount of newly formed bone in the endosteal region(experimental ; $1.00{\pm}0.30mm$ vs control ; $0.61{\pm}0.24mm$) and bone area in the medullary canal(experimental ; $13.55{\pm}4.98%$ vs control ; $9.03{\pm}3.05%$). The mean values of the amount of newly formed bone(endosteal region) and bone area(medullary canal) of the experimental implant demonstrated a statistically significant difference as compared to the control implant(p<0.05). In conclusion, noninvasive electrical stimulation using negatively charged electret effectively promoted peri-implant new bone formation in this study. This method is expected to be used as one of the useful electrical stimulation for enhancing bone healing response in the implant therapy

구리 기반 목재 방부제 중 MCQ를 이용하여, 목재 내 주입량에 따른 부후 특성을 조사하였다. 목재 시편에 주입량을 달리하여 약제를 주입한 후, 갈색부후균인 부후개떡버섯에 의한 방부효력 시험을 진행하였다. 이후, 질량감소율을 측정한 결과 무처리재는 35% 이상의 질량감소율을 보였으며, 실내 부후에 의한 MCQ 약제의 방부 효력을 나타내는 주입량은 $3.99{\pm}0.42kg/m^3$로 나타났다. 광학현미경 및 전자현미경으로 시편의 3단면을 관찰했을 때, 무처리재와 낮은 주입량으로 처리한 처리재에서는 세포벽의 파괴와 함께 전체적으로 부후가 진행됨이 확인 되었고, 많은 수의 균사를 관찰할 수 있었지만, bore hole은 확인할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서 MCQ의 주입량에 따른 질량감소율 및 부후 현상이 크게 차이가 난 점 등을 고려하여, 국내 환경에서 MCQ의 주입량에 관한 적정성 검토가 필요하다고 생각되었다.

Submicron aperture 제작 기술은 near field optical sensor 또는 liquid metal ion source에 응용될 수 있는 가능성으로 인해 흥미를 모으고 있다. 본 실험에서는 submicron aperture 제작에 대해 기술할 것이다. 먼저 2 $\mu\textrm{m}$크기의 dot array를 광학 리소그라피 방법으로 패턴화하였다. KOH 비등방성 식각 방법으로 V-groove형을 만든 후, $1000^{\circ}C$에서 600분동안 건식 산화작업을 거쳤다. 이 산화과정에서 결정 방향에 따라 산화율이 달라지게 되는데 Si(111)면은 Si(100)면에 비해 산화율이 커서 두꺼운 산화막이 형성되며, 이 막은 연이은 건식식각 과정에서 etch-mask로 활용된다. Reactive ion etching은 ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) 장비를 사용하였으며, V-groove의 바닥에 형성된 90nm두께의 SiO$_2$와 그 아래의 Si을 식각하였다. 이 때, 기판에 걸린 negative bias는 $Cl_2$ RIE의 anisotropic etchig 효과를 증대시키는 것 같았으며, SEM촬영 결과 식각 후에 Si(111)면 위에는 약 130 nm정도의 산화층이 잔류하고 있었다. 이렇게 형성된 Si aperture는 향후 NSOM sensor등에 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Recently, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems, which are superior to conventional two-dimensional (2D) vascular systems that mimic the in vivo environment, are being actively studied to reproduce drug responses and cell differentiation in organisms. Conventional two-dimensional cell culture methods (scaffold-based and non-scaffold-based) have a limited cell growth rate because the culture cannot supply the culture medium as consistently as microvessels. To solve this problem, we would like to propose a 3D culture system with an environment similar to living cells by continuously supplying the culture medium to the bottom of the 3D cell support. The 3D culture system is a structure in which microvascular structures are combined under a scaffold (agar, collagen, etc.) where cells can settle and grow. First, we have manufactured molds for the formation of four types of microvessel-mimicking chips: width / height ①100 ㎛ / 100 ㎛, ②100 ㎛ / 50 ㎛, ③ 150 ㎛ / 100 ㎛, and ④ 200 ㎛ / 100 ㎛. By injection molding, four types of microfluidic chips were made with GPPS (general purpose polystyrene), and a 100㎛-thick PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) film was attached to the top of each microfluidic chip. As a result of observing the flow of the culture medium in the microchannel, it was confirmed that when the aspect ratio (height/width) of the microchannel is 1.5 or more, the fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet without a backflow phenomenon. In addition, the culture efficiency experiments of colorectal cancer cells (SW490) were performed in a 3D culture system in which PDMS films with different pore diameters (1/25/45 ㎛) were combined on a microfluidic chip. As a result, it was found that the cell growth rate increased up to 1.3 times and the cell death rate decreased by 71% as a result of the 3D culture system having a hole membrane with a diameter of 10 ㎛ or more compared to the conventional commercial. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to expand and build various 3D cell culture systems that can maximize cell culture efficiency by cell type by adjusting the shape of the microchannel, the size of the film hole, and the flow rate of the inlet.
