Even if ion pumps are widely and mostly used in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions, virtually every existing ion pump has its maximum pumping speed around 1E-6 mbar (1E-4 Pa). Discharge intensity in the ion pump Penning cell is defined as the current divided by pressure (I/P). This quantity reflects the rate of cathode bombardment by ions, which underlies all of the various pumping mechanisms that occur in ion pumps (chemisorption on sputtered material, ion burial, etc.), and therefore is an indication of pumping speed. A study has been performed to evaluate the influence of magnetic fields and cell dimensions on the ion pump discharge intensity and consequently on the pumping speed at different pressures. As a result, a combination of parameters has been developed in order to design and build an ion pump with the pumping speed peak shifted towards lower pressures. Experimental results with several different test set-ups are presented and a prototype of a new 200 l/s ion pump with the maximum pumping speed in the 1E-8 mbar (1E-6 Pa) is described. A model of the system has also been developed to provide a framework for understanding the experimental observations.

Phylogenetic analysis of the groEL1 and xynB1 gene sequences from Sorangium cellulosum strains isolated in Korea previously revealed the existence of at least 5 subgroups (A-E). In the present study, we used sequence analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified biosynthetic genes of strains from the 5 subgroups to indicate correlations between S. cellulosum subgroups and their secondary metabolic gene categories. We detected putative biosynthetic genes for disorazol, epothilone, ambruticin, and soraphen in group A, group C, group D, and group E strains, respectively. With the exception of KYC3204, culture extracts from group A, group B, and group C strains exhibited no noticeable antimicrobial inhibitory activities. By contrast, culture extracts from group D strains inhibited the growth of Candida albicans, whereas culture extracts from group E strains inhibited the growth of C. albicans and Staphylococcus aureus. High performance liquid chromatography analysis of the culture extracts from the strains of each subgroup revealed unique peak patterns. Our findings indicate the existence of at least 5 subgroups of S. cellulosum strains, each of which has the potential to produce a unique set of secondary metabolites.

We investigated the physical and cooking properties of commercial noodles supplemented with functional ingredients. RVA (rapid visco analyzer), color, water activity, texture and cooking properties were tested. Noodles containing kudzu showed the highest initial gelatinization temperatures, whereas noodle containing kelp displayed the highest peak viscosity and set back. Holding strength and final viscosity were highest in noodles containing mugwort. The L value ($94.89{\pm}0.02$) of wheat flour noodle was the highest. Among functional noodles, L value ($88.65{\pm}0.01$) and a value ($7.42{\pm}0.02$) of cactus noodle were the highest, whereas b value of pumpkin noodle was $40.81{\pm}0.03$, which was higher value than in other noodles. Water activity of cactus noodle was highest (0.455), but the difference was not significant. Cooking properties (including weight, volume, and water absorption) and turbidity of pumpkin noodles showed the highest growth rate. In terms of texture, hardness was highest ($12836.8{\pm}7.1g/cm^2$) in green tea noodles, and cohesiveness and gumminess were highest in kelp and mugwort noodles. Considerig the quality characteristics of noodles supplemented with mulberry leaves, cactus, mugwort, green tea, pumpkin, kelp or kudzu, pumpkin noodles were most stable in terms of gelatinization and cooking properties.

This survey was carried out in order to find out population density of aphid at the alpine area. Thetraps were set from May 1 to October 31 in 1973. The summarized results are as follows; 1. About 37 species of aphids were trapped, including 4 species of potatao virus vectors. 2. Of these, dominant species are Aphis gossypii Koch, Aphis lerodendri Matsumura, and Lipahis erysimi Kaltenbaeh. The $67\%$ of 3, dominant species consisted of the trapped total aphids. 3. The potato virus vectors are Myzus persicae Sulzer, Aulacorhum solani Kaltenbach, Lipaphis erysimi Kaltenbaeh and Aphis gossypii Glover. 4. Tile number of aphids and vectors at the alpine area is considerably lower than that at the level land. 5. The peak of the flying aphid occurrence is shown in the latter part of September.

Until today, rainwater management was processed without disposing the peak discharge, which was due to rainfall, to provide stability against flood damage. In this process, the natural hydrologic cycle changed quickly, and because of this, some problems that could harm human beings and the environment arose. These problems need to be addressed accordingly. One of the proposals was to carry out decentralized rainwater management through a natural hydrologic cycle on site, including utilization, infiltration, detention, and retention of rainwater. This study aims to set the direction of applicable decentralized rainwater management to housing complex in Korea. Therefore, spacial properties in urban housing complexes were analysed such as the impervious area-to-land ratio, the green area-to-land ratio, artificial land-to-land ratio etc. As the result of this study, when a housing complex was small and developed by reconstruction, the impervious area, artificial land, the green area in the artificial land-to-land ratio were high. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to utilize and detain rainwater. On the other hand, those of big housing complexes in land development district were low relatively. So, direction of decentralized rainwater management of these housing complexes is available to infiltrate and evaporate rainwater.

This paper described about the acoustic wave measurement method to diagnose GIS for particles. We measured and analyzed the signals of acoustic waves with two type acoustic sensors having 125kHz and 50kHz resonant frequency respectively when the particles were bounced on the inside surfaces of GIS tanks by the electrostatic force. To use two sensors for the diagnosis of GIS, we set up the calibration method for this measurement method. We showed the output characteristics of two sensors according to the sizes and materials of particles in the experiment. As the results, the inception voltages bouncing particles depended on the materials and the extinction voltages bouncing them depended on the sizes and materials. We found out that the relationship between sizes of particles and output voltages of sensors didn't have linearity but the ratios of between peak values of two sensors depended on the materials of GIS enclosures and the sizes of particles.

This paper presents an ultra-low partial discharge(PD) measurement system that has been accepted as a non-destructive method to estimate electrical insulation of low-voltage electric devices. The PD measurement system is composed of a coupling network, a low noise amplifier, and associated electronics. A shielding box is used to make a better condition against electromagnetic interference. A low cut-off frequency of the coupling network was 1MHz(-3 dB). Calibration tests on laboratory set-up have shown that the PD measurement system has a stable sensitivity of 11.4mV/pC. In an application experiment on a low-voltage induction motor(5HP), we could detect 0.77pC level of partial discharge pulse at the applied voltage of AC 664 V$_{peak}$.

A new control algorithm of soft starter is proposed for the reduction of the inrush current during the grid connection of the induction-type wind power generator. Currently, the fixed speed wind turbine using induction generator is the most popular wind generation system in Korea. It is shown that the amount of inrush current mainly depends on the control algorithm of the soft starter, a thyristor-based grid connection device. For the simulation study, a 600kw wind turbine simulation model is developed and the transient waveforms are investigated with conventional md proposed methods. Also experimental results using 3.7kW experimental set-up show that the peak value of inrush current is reduced about 20$\%$ using proposed algorithm.

Al:ZnO thin films were deposited using the radio frequency magnetron sputtering technique at various temperatures and sputtering powers. With the increase in the deposition temperature and the decrease in the radio frequency sputtering power, the crystallinity was increased and the surface roughness was decreased, which lead to the decrease in the electrical resistivity of the film. It is also clearly observed that, the intensity of the (002) XRD peak increases with increasing the substrate temperature [1,2]. The electrical resistivity and optical transmittance of the Al:ZnO thin film were analyzed as a function of the post-annealing temperature. It can be seen that with the annealing temperature set at $400^{\circ}C$, the resistivity decreases to a minimum value of $4.1{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}cm$ and the transmittance increases to a maximum value of 85% of the Al:ZnO thin film.
