대표적인 지하 공동 복구공법인 개착 공법은 공사비 및 시공시간의 문제를 드러내고 있으며, 이를 해결하기 위한 다양한 비 개착식 공법이 제시되고 있다. 팽창재료를 이용한 지하 공동 복구공법은 비 개착식 공법 중 하나로 공법의 원리는 다음과 같다. 아스팔트층에 천공된 구멍을 통해 양질의 되메움토와 팽창재료를 공동 내로 투입하면, 투입된 팽창재료에 의해 주변 되메움토가 아직 채워지지 않은 빈 공간으로 밀려남과 동시에 다져지면서 공동을 복구하는 원리이다. 본 연구에서는 공동을 모사한 아크릴 토조에 팽창재료를 이용한 지하공동 복구공법을 시공하였다. 공동의 복구효율은 팽창재료의 투입 위치와 개수에 따른 공동의 채움율과 상대 다짐도로 분석하였으며, 실험결과 공동의 복구효율과 최적 시공 위치는 무관한 것으로 확인되었다.

Screen printing is commonly used to form the electrode for crystalline silicon solar cells. However, it has caused high resistance and low aspect ratio, resulting in decrease of conversion efficiency. Accordingly, Ni/Cu/Ag plating method could be applied for crystalline silicon solar cells to reduce contact resistance. For Ni/Cu/Ag plating, laser ablation process is required to remove anti-reflection layers prior to the plating process, but laser ablation results in surface damage and then decrease of open-circuit voltage and cell efficiency. Another issue with plating process is ghost plating. Ghost plating occurred in the non-metallized region, resulting from pin-hole in anti-reflection layer. In this paper, we investigated the effect of Ni/Cu/Ag plating on the electrical properties, compared to screen printing method. In addition, phosphoric acid layer was spin-coated prior to laser ablation to minimize emitter damage by the laser. Phosphorous elements in phosphoric acid generated selective emitter throughout emitter layer during laser process. Then, KOH treatment was applied to remove surface damage by laser. At this step, amorphous silicon formed by laser ablation was recrystallized during firing process and remaining of amorphous silicon was removed by KOH treatment. As a result, electrical properties as Jsc, FF and efficiency were improved, but Voc was lower than screen printed solar cells because Voc was decreased due to surface damage by laser process. Accordingly, we expect that efficiency of solar cells could be improved by optimization of the process to remove surface damage.

Tandem structure is promising in organic solar cells because of its double open-circuit voltage (VOC) and efficient photon energy conversion. In a typical tandem device, the two single sub-cells are stacked and connected by an interconnecting layer. The fabrication of two sub-cells are usually carried out in a glovebox filled with nitrogen or argon gas, which makes it expensive and laborious. We report a glovebox-free fabricated inverted tandem organic solar cells wherein the tandem structure comprises sandwiched interconnecting layer based on p-doped hole-transporting, metal, and electron-transporting materials. Complete fabrication process of the tandem device was performed outside the glove box. The tandem solar cells based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) can realize a high VOC, which sums up of the two sub-cells. The tandem device structure was ITO/ZnO/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/MoO3/Au/Al/ZnO-d/P3HT:PCBM/PEDOT:PSS/Ag. The separate sub-cells were morphologically and thermally stable up to 160 oC. The high stability of the active layer benefits in the fabrication processes of tandem device. The performance of tandem organic solar cells comes from the sub-cells with an 50 nm thick active layer of P3HT:PCBM, achieving an average power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.9% (n=12) with short-circuit current density (JSC) = 4.26 mA/cm2, VOC = 1.10 V, and fill factor (FF) = 0.62. Based on these findings, we propose a new method to improve the performance and stability of tandem organic solar cells.

다공질 실리콘을 형성하는데 있어서 이방성 양극 반응 과정을 관찰하였다. 실험재료는 n형 기판 위에 $n^{+}$가 확산되고 그 위에 n에 피층이 있는 $n/n^{+}/n$ 구조의 (100) 실리콘 웨이퍼였다. 상충부 n실리콘 에피층을 식각하여 다공질 실리콘 층의 양극 반응 창을 내고 양극반응이 $n^{+}$매몰층까지만 일어나게 한다. 다공질 실리콘 층의 형성과정은 이방성이었다. 반응창의 형태들이 서로 다를 지라도 반응된 다공질 실리콘 영역의 모양은 모두 사각형 형태의 것이었다. 이 실험 결과는 다공질 실리콘 양극반응은 화학반응에 달려 있는 것이 아니고 전기전도 성질 즉 결정방향에 따른 정공의 서로 다른 전도도에 있다는 것을 보여 준다.

도심지 터널 즉 터널의 상부 근접한 거리에 보안물건이 존재하는 경우 일반적인 폭약만을 사용해서는 발파진동을 규제치내에서 조절이 불가능하여 폭약공법이 아닌 무진동, 미진동 공법을 사용해야 한다. 하지만 무진동 공법들은 터널굴착공사비가 크게 증가 하게 되며, 또 공사기간도 길어진다. 일반적으로 노천채굴에서는 폭속이 약2,000 m/s 정도인 저폭속폭약이 응용 사용되어 왔으나 터널발파에는 사용되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 저폭속폭약을 일반 폭약과 공내에서 혼용장약하여 발파작업을 한 결과 일반 폭약으로 발파하는 것보다 진동이 25~30%정도가 감소하였다. 도심지터널 및 보안물건 근접한 터널에서는 진동규제치내에서 미진동으로 시공할 수 있는 저폭속폭약과 일반폭약을 혼용 사용하는 발파 방법을 사용하는 것이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the anxiolytic-like activity of ${\alpha}$-asarone (AAS) from Acorus gramineus in an experimental rat model of anxiety induced by repeated administration of the exogenous stress hormone corticosterone (CORT). The putative anxiolytic effect of AAS was studied in behavioral tests of anxiety, such as the elevated plus maze (EPM) test and the hole-board test (HBT) in rats. For 21 consecutive days, male rats received 50, 100, or 200 mg/kg AAS (i.p.) 30 min prior to a daily injection of CORT. Dysregulation of the HPA axis in response to the repeated CORT injections was confirmed by measuring serum levels of CORT and the expression of corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF) in the hypothalamus. Daily AAS (200 mg/kg) administration increased open-arm exploration significantly in the EPM test, and it increased the duration of head dipping activity in the HBT. It also blocked the increase in tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the locus coeruleus (LC) and decreased mRNA expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and its receptor, TrkB, in the hippocampus. These results indicated that the administration of AAS prior to high-dose exogenous CORT significantly improved anxiety-like behaviors, which are associated with modification of the central noradrenergic system and with BDNF function in rats. The current finding may improve understanding of the neurobiological mechanisms responsible for changes in emotions induced by repeated administration of high doses of CORT or by elevated levels of hormones associated with chronic stress. Thus, AAS did exhibit an anxiolytic-like effects in animal models of anxiety.

In many cases, open-type plate breakwaters use plates with multiple holes; the holes serve as energy dissipaters and weight reducers. Because of the multi-holes configuration, stress concentration should be considered during the design process. Among several design loading conditions, the loads from a possible collision with a man-made vessel or other unexpected events many damage a multi-perforated steel plate. In that case, the structural behavior of a multi-perforated steel plate is quite significant, and is not well understood. This study presents a collision analysis for a multi-perforated steel plate. First, four different perforation topologies (three with circles and one with squares) were selected to investigate the effect of different hole shapes on the structural response. Second, the wave force at a specific site was calculated and loaded onto a steel plate as a static load. The static stresses were used for reference values. Third, two rigid body impacters (cubical & cylindrical) were applied to the steel plates to investigate the transient stress responses. In addition, two different impacting angles ($45^{\circ}\;&\;90^{\circ}$) were selected to investigate the angle effect. From the collision analysis, the significance of the transient stresses was emphasized.

Purpose: Open reduction and internal fixation of calcaneal fracture using plate has been used. While numerous plates have been manufactured, most of the conventional plates are designed for westerners, realistically the size is larger for Korean. The domestic products, on the other hand, often have the undesirable screw holes and path. Therefore, we measured the radiologic parameter of Korean calcaneus for providing the plate and screw hole placements. Materials and Methods: We measured the outer lines and angles with over the 20 years old 291 females and 322 males. A: Length of inferior plane of calcaneus, B: Length of anterior plane of calcaneus, C: Length from line A to sinus tarsi, D: Length from line A to posterior point of posterior facet, E: Length from line A to calcaneal tuberosity, F: Length of posterior facet, G: Length from anterior point of line A to C, H: Length from line C to line D, a: Angle between A and B, b: Gissane angle, c: Bohler angle, d: Calcaneal pitch angle using Marosis m-view$^{(R)}$. Results: Mean A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H were 63.6, 26.4, 23.2, 43.7, 40.5, 26.9, 12.8, 18.1 mm. Mean a, b, c, d angle were 105.8, 122.4, 32.4, $20.5^{\circ}$. Male's calcaneus is significantly bigger than female's (p<0.001). Conclusion: AP calcaneus length 63.6 mm, maximal height 43.7 mm is considered to be helpful in making the Korean calcaneal plate.
