Re-engineering is gaining attention due to severe environmental pollution and economic crisis. Although re-engineering in shipbuilding has been carried out steadily, technological advancements, domestic ship repair and maintenance industries are not as prevalent as shipbuilding industries. In order to solve this problems, laser cladding can significantly aid with technical development. Laser cladding produces an outstanding clad layer with minimal dilution and little porosity. In this study, prior to applying laser cladding to an exhaust valve face, the effects of various parameters that affect the characteristics of the 1 pass clad layer were investigated. When laser power was increased, the clad layer width became broader and the height was decreased. In addition, it was identified that the hardness of the clad layer was inversely proportional to the power, and the entire clad layer was diluted through an EDS chemical composition analysis.

A layer of $TiO_2$ thin film less than ~200nm in thickness, as a blocking layer, was deposited by 13.56 MHz radio frequency magnetron sputtering method directly onto the anode electrode to be isolated from the electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). This is to prevent the electrons from back-transferring from the electrode to the electrolyte ($I^-/{I_3}^-$). The presented DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of F:$SnO_2$(FTO) glass coated with blocking $TiO_2$ layer, dye-attached nanoporous $TiO_2$ layer, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited FTO glass. The effects of blocking layer were studied with respect to impedance and conversion efficiency of the cells. The, electrochemical impedances of DSCs using this electrode were $R_1$: 13.9, $R_2$: 15.0, $R_3$: 10.9 and $R_h$: $82{\Omega}$. The $R_2$ impedance related by electron movement from nanoporous $TiO_2$ to TCO showed lower than that of normal DSCs. The photo-conversion efficiency of prepared DSCs was 5.97% ($V_{oc}$: 0.75V, $J_{sc}$: 10.5 mA/$cm^2$, ff: 0.75) and approximately 1% higher than general DSCs sample.

In order for bioremediate the benthic layer in polluted inner Bay, the effects of irradiance and wave-length irradiated from light emission diode (LED) on the growth of benthic diatom Nitzschia sp. (Hakozaki Bay strain of Japan) were investigated. The Nitzschia sp. was cultured under blue LED (450 nm), yellow LED (590 nm), red LED (650 nm) and fluorescent lamp (mixed wavelengths). At $25^{\circ}C$ and 30 psu, the growth of Nitzschia sp. showed its peak at $20\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ (blue LED) and $40\;{\mu}mol\;m^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ (fluorescent lamp), and was inhibited at the irradiance higher than that irradiance. Nitzschia sp. in yellow LED and red LED is fitted by a rectangular hyperbolic curve because no photoinhibition was observed under maximum irradiance used in this study. The irradiance-growth curves were described as ${\mu}=-0.46{\exp}(1-I/6.32)+0.46-0.00043I,\;(r^2=0.98)$ under blue LED, ${\mu}=0.42(I+7.87)/(I+58.9),\;(r^2=0.99)$ under yellow LED, ${\mu}=0.39(I+3.39)/(I+21.6),\;(r^2=0.94)$ under red LED, ${\mu}=-0.38{\exp}(1-I/7.23)+0.38-0.00016I,\;(r^2=0.96)$ under fluorescent lamp. Maximum specific growth rate of blue LED, yellow LED, red LED and fluorescent lamp was $0.44\;day^{-1},\;0.42\;day^{-1},\;0.39\;day^{-1}$ and $0.37\;day^{-1}$, respectively. The absorption coefficient ($a_{ph}$) of Nitzschia sp. was similar under all the wavelengths (400 nm-700 nm), although maximum $a_{ph}$ was $0.0224\;m^2\;mg\;chi.\;{\alpha}^{-1}$ in 472 nm and $0.0179\;m^2\;mg\;chi.\;{\alpha}^{-1}$) in 663 nm. The results may indicate the possibility of environmental improvement around the benthic layer in polluted coastal area because microphytobenthos growth is stimulated by means of irradiated blue LED at the benthic boundary layer during both autumn and winter, and yellow LED, which might have been suppressed growth of harmful algae, at the layer during both spring and summer.

We proposed a simplified fabrication structure and method which can provide separate Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), and White (W) OLED pixels with 2 metal-mask changes in emitting layer fabrication inspired from the structure of multi-layer white OLED and carrier blocking mechanism. A red emission layer for the R and W pixel with 1st mask, and then a blue emission layer with hole blocking layer for the B and W pixel with 2nd mask, and finally a common green emission layer were deposited sequentially. We expect that this concept would be very useful to the actual fabrication of multi-color OLED display although additional optimization is needed.

Bleeding away a part of the boundary layer next to the wall is an effective method for controlling boundary-layer distortions from incident shock waves or curvature in geometry. When the boundary-layer flow is supersonic, the physics of bleeding with and without an incident shock wave is more complicated than just the removal of lower momentum fluid next to the wall. This paper reviews CFD studies of shock-wave/boundary-layer interactions on a flat plate with bleed into a plenum through a single hole, three holes in tandem, and four rows of staggered holes in which the simulation resolves not just the flow above the plate, but also the flow through each bleed hole and the plenum. The focus is on understanding the nature of the bleed process.

The electrical performances of liquid crystal (LC) cells with chloromethylated polyimide (CMPI) alignment layers were investigated. The CMPI layer was previously reported as a multifunctional layer that does role of LC alignment and planarization layer as well as photo-alignment material with high photosensitivity and excellent thermal stability. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of LC cells with CMPI alignment layers were measured. Mechanical rubbing of the CMPI layer did not generate much difference in residual DC when compared to commercial PI. However, the LC cell with photo-oxidation CMPI layer shows a high residual DC value and a corresponding low voltage holding ratio (VHR) due to the photo-induced ionic charges on the alignment layer.

During the deposition , 10 %-ozone/oxygen mixture gas of typical 25.0$\times$10$\^$-5/ Torr is applied with ultraviolet light irradiation for oxidation. XRD and RHEED investigations reveal out that a buffer layer with some different compositions is formed at the early deposition stage of less then 10 units cell and then c-axis oriented Bi(2201) is grown.

We characterized the n-type organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) with non-conjugated polyelectrolytes (NPEs) interlayers as the electron injection layer. Novel NPEs with various ions (Cl-, Br-, I-) improved the electron mobility from $5.06{\times}10^{-3}$ to $2.10{\times}10^{-2}cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$ in OFETs based [6,6]-Phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) when $PEIEH^+I^-$ spin-cast from 0.6% solution was deposited onto the PCBM layer. Reduced electron injection barrier (${\phi}_e$) at NPE/metal electrode interface was induced by dipole formation and led to increase the electron injection and transport. These findings are important for understanding how NPEs function in devices, the improvement of device performance, and the design of new materials for use in optoelectronic devices.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) composite for heat-exchanger was fabricated by molten Si infiltration method. For enforcing fracture toughness to reaction bonded silicon carbide composite, the surface of carbon fiber has coating layer by SiC or pyro-carbon. For SiC layer coating, CVD method was used. And for carbon layer coating, the phenol resin was used. In the case of carbon layer coating, fracture toughness and fracture strength were enhancing to 4.4 $MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and 279 MPa.

A layer of $TiO_2$ thin film less than ~500nm in thickness, as a blocking layer, was coated by sol-gel method directly onto the anode electrode to be isolated from the electrolyte in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). This is to prevent the electrons from back-transferring from the electrode to the electrolyte (I-/I3-). The effects of heat treatment conditions of the gel and as-coated film on the thickness and consolidation to substrate were studied. The flexible DSCs were fabricated with working electrode of Ti thin foil coated with blocking $TiO_2$ layer, dye-attached mesoporous $TiO_2$ film, gel electrolyte and counter electrode of Pt-deposited indium doped tin oxide/polyethylene naphthalate (ITO/PEN). The photo-current conversion efficiency of the cell was 5.3% ($V_{oc}=0.678V$, $J_{sc}=12.181mA/cm^2$, ff=0.634) under AM1.5, 100 mW/$cm^2$ illumination.
