In the past decade, Pd based thin films have been studied far hydrogen gas sensors due to their high possibility for energy industry and environmental applications. In this work, we report a navel method to fabricate highly sensitive hydrogen gas sensors based on PdO thin films. The films were deposited on Si substrates in Ar and $O_2$ ambient using reactive sputtering system. A semiconductor process has been utilized to fabricate PdO films with t=40nm. We observed the resistance changes of the PdO films with various $H_2$ concentrations. It was found that the electrical properties of the thin films depend on the composition of oxygen. The sensitivity is defined as $S\;=\;(R_0-R)/R{\times}100%$, where R and $R_0$ are the resistances in the presence of exposing the hydrogen gas and air, respectively. The sensitivity of the thin films was found to be as high as about 95%. After exposing to hydrogen gas, we discovered that the nano-sized cracks formed on the surface of the PdO thin films. The nano-cracks formed in deoxidized PdO thin films were known by playing a key role to reduce more than 4 times the response time of absorption. Our results illustrate that the deoxidized PdO thin films can be used as hydrogen sensors.

MILD 연소는 고온의 배기가스를 연소로 내에 재유입 되는 양에 따라 질소산화물 저감 특성에 많은 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 MILD 연소로에서 고온의 배기가스를 연소로 내에 재순환하기 위해 코안다 노즐을 사용하였는데. 코안다 노즐의 중심에 중심 축소관을 설치한 경우와 설치하지 않은 경우에 고압공기 유량, 배기가스 유입량 특성을 수치해석을 통해 살펴봄으로써 최적의 코안다 노즐 형상을 도출하는 것을 연구의 목적으로 하였다. 본 연구의 전산 해석의 결과는 혼합가스 출구의 압력이 대기압일 때는 중심축소관이 없을 때가 배기가스 유입량이 약 18% 크게 나타나고 혼합가스 출구 압력이 증가하면 중심축소관이 있을 때가 유입량이 더 큼일 알 수 있었다. 이에 대한 분석은 노즐 목에서의 압력, 유입가스 입구와 혼합가스 출구 압력 그리고 유동 단면적으로 구성한 유입 구동력으로 해석 가능하였다.

Formaldehyde (FA) is an economically important chemical, and has been found to cause various types of toxic damage to the body. Formaldehyde-induced toxic damage involves reactive oxygen species (ROS) that trigger subsequent toxic effects and inflammatory responses, which may increase risk of cancer. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to investigate the possible toxic mechanism in bone marrow caused by formaldehyde. In accordance with the principle of randomization, the mice were divided into four groups of 6 mice per group. One group was exposed to ambient air and the other three groups were exposed to different concentrations of formaldehyde (20, 40, $80mg/m^3$) for 15 days in the respective inhalation chambers, 2h a day. At the end of the 15-day experimental period, all mice were killed. Bone marrow cells were obtained. Some of those were used for the determination of blood cell numbers, bone marrow karyote numbers, CFU-F, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content; others were used for the determination of mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), cell cycle and Bcl-2, Bax, CytC protein expression. WBC and PLT numbers in median and high dose groups were obvious reduced, but there was no change on RBC numbers. There was also reduced numbers of bone marrow karyotes and CFU-F in the high dose group. SOD activity was decreased, but MDA content was increased. MMP and Bcl-2 expression were decreased with increasing formaldehyde concentration, while expression of Bax and Cyt C was increased. We also observed change in cell cycling, and found that there was S phase arrest in the high dose group. Our study suggested that a certain concentration of formaldehyde could have toxic effects on the hematopoietic system, with oxidative stress as a critical effect.

아연공기전지는 공기중의 산소를 사용하므로 cathode의 재활용이 가능하다는 장점이 있으며 아연의 이론용량이 820(mAh/g)으로 상당히 높다. 그러나, 아연공기전지는 cathodf치 기공이 너무 작으면 외부로부터 유입되는 산소량이 부족하여 전지의 방전전압이 낮아지는 결과를 초래하게 되며 cathode에 포함되어 있는 도전재의 함량에 따라 저항 및 기공율에 많은 변화를 보이고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전지의 용량, 출력특성, 방전전압, DC저항, ASTM에 의한 기공율 측정을 통해 도전재의 종류 및 함량이 아연공기전지에 미치는 영향을 연구하였으며, Super P의 도전재를 $5wt\%$ 첨가하였을 때 가장 우수한 전지특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

It was observed that the friction coefficient decreased with increasing Si concentration in the l ilms. Furthermore, the friction behavior became more s때ble even when very small amount of S Si of less than 0.5 at. % was incorporatA:회 By analyzing the composition of the debris f formed, we could show that the low and stabilized friction coefficient is in마nately relatA:었 w with the formation of the Si rich oxide debris. These result supports the mechanism that the h hydrated silica debris is the reason for low friction coefficient in humid environment. Second e evidence of the role of Si rich oxide debris could be found in the triOO-chemical reactions d during initial stage of triho-test. When the Si concen$\sigma$ation was less than 5 at.%, initial t transient period of high friction coefficient was commonly observed. Mter the transient period, m the friction coefficient becomes lower with increasing contact cycles. The initial $\sigma$ansient p peri여 becomes shorter and the starting and maximum friction coefficients in $\sigma$ansient 야,riod d decreased with increasing Si concentration. Composition of the debris on the wear scar s surface was analyzed by Auger spe따'Oscopy at v뼈ous stages in the initial transient period. W We observed that when the friction coefficient increased in earlier stage of the $\sigma$'ansient p period, iron and oxygen was observed in the debris. However, decrease in the 당iction c coefficient in the later stage of the transient period was associated with the formation of s silicon rich oxide debris. This result also supports the friction mechanism of Si-DLC films t that the formation of Si rich oxide debris results in low friction coefficient in ambient a atmosphere. atmosphere.

p형 Si (100)기판 위에 reactive DC magnetron sputtering으로 증착한 $ZrO_2$박막에 대하여 증착 조건과 열처리 조건에 따른 미세구조의 변화 및 전기적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 증착 및 열처리 온도가 증가하고 power 증가할수록 $ZrO_2$의 굴절율은 증가되어 이상적인 2.0~2.2에 근접하였다. 상온에서 증착된 $ZrO_2$ 박막은 비정질이며 $300^{\circ}C$에서 증착한 경우 $ZrO_2$박막은 다결정이었다. 산소 분위기에서 열처리를 수행한 박막의 RMS 값은 증착직후보다 높아지고 계면 산화막은 산소의 확산에 의해 두께가 증가하였다. A1/$ZrO_2$/p-type Si(100)의 C-V과 I-V 특성을 관찰하였고, 그 결과 산소분위기에서 열처리하는 경우 계면 산화막의 두께증가로 Cmax 및 누설전류가 감소함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, flat-type photocatalytic reaction system is applied to reduce toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) to trivalent chromium (Cr(III)) in aqueous solution under UV irradiation. To overcome the limitation of conventional photocatalysis, a novel approach toward photocatalytic system for reduction of hexavalent chromium including nanotubular $TiO_2$ (NTT) on two kinds of titanium substrates (foil and mesh) were established. In addition, modified Ti substrates were prepared by bending treatment to increase reaction efficiency of Cr(VI) in the flat-type photocatalytic reactor. For the fabrication of NTT on Ti substrates, Ti foil and mesh was anodized with mixed electrolytes ($NH_4F-H_2O-C_2H_6O_2$) and then annealed in ambient oxygen. The prepared NTT arrays were uniformly grown on two Ti substrates and surface property measurements were performed through SEM and XRD. Hydraulic retention time(HRT) and substrate type were significantly affected the Cr(VI) reduction. Hence, the photocatalytic Cr(VI) reduction was observed to be highest up to 95% at bended(modified) Ti mesh and lowest HRT. Especially, Ti mesh was more effective as NTT substrate in this research.

Because of the limitations of maximal load tests for $VO_2max$, submaximal tests using cycle ergometer are used for field study in general. This study was conducted to evaluate validity of various submaximal tests using cycle ergometer. This study had been conducted during May to June 2005, which subjects were 15 males and 15 females in twenties. Experiment was performed with restrictive conditions which regulated ambient temperature, noise, and entrance restriction. Submaximal load test protocols including YMCA Protocol (YP), ${\AA}strand$-Rhyming Protocol (ARP), Relative heart ratio Protocol (RP), and Ramp test Protocol (RP) were compared with maximal load test which used gas mask analyser using Bruce Protocol. All submaximal load tests were highly related with maximal load test (Spearman's correlation coefficient > 0.60) with statistical significancy. The highest correlation coefficient with maximal test was found in RP. Three submaximal test results except RP were significantly different with maximal test results (Wilcoxon rank test). All submaximal tests had high validity. The reason why RP had highest validity might be that it represents Korean physical strength and individual differences better than the others. RP using cycle ergometer would make easy to study for physical capacity evaluation and field workload estimation.

Alumina dispersion strengthening copper(ADSC) alloy has great potential for use in many industrial applications such as contact supports, frictional break parts, electrode materials for lead wires, and spot welding with relatively high strength and good conductivity. In this study, we investigated the oxidation behavior of ADSC alloys. These alloys were fabricated in forms of plate and round type samples by surface oxidation reaction using Cu-0.8Al, Cu-0.4Al-0.4Ti, and Cu-0.6Al-0.4Ti(wt%) alloys. The alloys were oxidized at $980^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h in ambient atmosphere. The microstructure was observed with an optical microscope(OM) and a scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). Characterization of alumina was carried out using a 200 kV field-emission transmission electron microscope(TEM). As a result, various oxides including Ti were formed in the oxidation layer, in addition to ${\gamma}$-alumina. The thickness of the oxidation layer increased with Ti addition to the Cu-Al alloy and with the oxidation time. The corrected diffusion equation for the plate and round type samples showed different oxidation layer thickness under the same conditions. Diffusion length of the round type specimen had a value higher than that of its plate counterpart because the oxygen concentration per unit area of the round type specimen was higher than that of the plate type specimen at the same diffusion depth.
