Graphene has received attention with its high electron mobility and visual transparency as a promising material for optoelectronic and photonic applications. Combination of graphene and conducting nanostructures i.e. plasmonic structures has recently been researched for enhancing light-matter interaction and overcoming diffraction limit of light. Here we show enhanced photodetection of incoherent visible light with graphene-mediated plasmonics. Gold nanoparticles fabricated by focused ion beam was used as an active element of photodetection and graphene was utilized as an interfacing material between nanostructures and electrodes. Hot electrons generated upon plasmon decay within nanoparticles pass over the potential barrier between nanostructure and graphene and give rise to a photocurrent with built-in electric field. We report 76.7% enhancement of photocurrent under resonant irradiation of fiber-coupled halogen lamp compared to the case without light illumination. We showed wavelength-dependent current response arisen from plasmonic nanostructure, providing a good agreement with theoretical calculation.

In this paper. we give pressure stimulation into organic ultra thin films and detected the induced displacement current proper ties, and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition. In processing of a device manufacture. And electroluminescence(EL) from conjugated polymers has recently received great attention because polymer light-emitting diodes(LEDs) clealy have potential for applications such as large-area displays. The operation of polymer LEDs is based on double injection of electrons and holes from the elextrodes. followed by formation of excitons whose radiative decay results in light emission at wavelength characteristic to the material. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using $Alq_3$ as emitting material. According as turn on voltage could know about 5.5V in voltage-current characteristics and voltage rise, current could see that increase as non-linear, Current and ruminance can see that express similar relativity in voltage, and could know that ruminance is expressing current relativity.

Performance of direct methanol fuel cell using high porous active carbon as an uncatalysed diffusion layer in anode (composite electrode) has been evaluated. Effects of porous active carbon in anode were investigated by galvanostatic method and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy. The single cell was operated with 2.5 M methanol at temperature of $80-120^{\circ}C$ and showed performance of $210-510\;mA/cm^2$ at 0.4V. By replacing conventional electrode with composite electrode, the increment of $290\;mA/cm^2$ in current density was obtained at $90^{\circ}C$and 0.4V. The potential decay of the single cell was about 14.5% for 20 days operation.

High brightness and long persistent luminescence phosphor $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ was prepared with varying $Eu^{2+}$ concentration by solid state reaction technique. Synthesized materials were investigated by powder X-ray diffractometer (XRD), SEM, TEM, photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra. Broad band UV excited luminescence of the $CaAl_2O_4:Eu^{2+}$ was observed in the blue region (${\lambda}_{max}\;=\;440\;nm$) due to transitions from the $4f^65d^1$ to the $4f^7$ configuration of the $Eu^{2+}$ ion. The decay time of the persistence indicated that the persistent luminescence phosphor has bright phosphorescence and maintains a long duration. These materials have great potential for outdoor night time displays.

Fluoridation of drinking water to a level of about 0.8mg/l (below 1.5mg/l) for reducing the incidence of tooth decay is recommended. However, concerns about potential problems of unknown effects and overdosing hinders the fluoridation. This study describes the work performed to obtain information on the behavior of fluoride under various conditions in the process of water fluoridation. Effects of water treatment chemicals, water treatment unit, and water distribution on water fluoridation were investigated at both lab and an actual water treatment plant. Residual fluoride concentration was not affected by lime and chlorine dosage up to 20mg/l. Flocculation with PAC slightly decreased the residual fluoride concentration as PAC dosage increased. Average fluoride concentration of 0.87mg/l at an intake basin was decreased to 0.83mg/l by sedimentation, 0.81mg/l by dual media(sand+anthracite) filtration, and 0.79mg/l by granular activated carbon filtration in the water treatment plant.

An innovative safety concept for a light water reactor has been developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. It is a unique concept that adopts both a fast heat transfer mechanism for a small containment and a changing mechanism of the cooling geometry to take advantage of the potential, thermal, and dynamic energies of the cold water in the containment. It can bring about rapid cooling of the containment and long-term cooling of the decay heat. By virtue of this innovative concept, nuclear fuel damage events can be prevented. The ultimate heat transfer mechanism contributes to minimization of the heat exchanger size and containment volume. A small containment can ensure the underground construction, which can use river or seawater as an ultimate heat sink. The changing mechanism of the cooling geometry simplifies several safety systems and unifies diverse functions. Simplicity of the present safety system does not require any operator actions during events or accidents. Therefore, the unique safety concept of PX can realize both economic competitiveness and inherent safety.

By using the general theoretical framework proposed recently for treating the fluorescence quenching kinetics, we investigate the effect of light pulse intensity on the decay of fluorescence which follows excitation of fluorophors by the light pulse of very short but finite duration. It is seen that conventional theory breaks down when the exciting light pulse has a pulse width comparable to the fluorescent lifetime and its intensity is very high. We also find that even when the light intensity is not too high, conventional theory may fail in either of the following cases: (i) when the quencher concentration is high, (ii) when there is an attractive potential of mean force between the fluorophor and quencher, or (iii) when the energy transfer from the fluorophor to the quencher may also occur at a distance, e.g., via dipole-dipole interaction. The validity of the predictions of the present theory may thus be tested by fluorescence quenching experiments performed under such situations.

The assessment of radiation fields in the lithium loop pipes and dump tank during the operation were performed for International Fusion Materials Irradiation Facility - DEMO-Oriented NEutron Source (IFMIF-DONES) in order to obtain the radiation dose-rate maps in the component surroundings. Variance reduction techniques such as weight window mesh (produced with the ADVANTG code) were applied to bring the statistical uncertainty down to a reasonable level. The biological dose was given in the study, and potential shielding optimization is suggested and more thoroughly evaluated. The MCNP Monte Carlo was used to simulate a gamma particle transport for radiation shielding purposes for the current Li Systems' design. In addition, the shielding efficiency was identified for the Impurity Control System components and the dump tank. The analysis reported in this paper takes into account the radiation decay source from and activated corrosion products (ACPs), which is created by d-Li interaction. As a consequence, the radiation (resulting from ACPs and Be-7) shielding calculations have been carried out for safety considerations.

RNAs are pivotal molecules acting as messengers of genetic information and regulatory molecules for cellular development and survival. From birth to death, RNAs face constant cellular decision for the precise control of cellular function and activity. Most eukaryotic cells employ conserved machineries for RNA decay including RNA silencing and RNA quality control (RQC). In plants, RQC monitors endogenous RNAs and degrades aberrant and dysfunctional species, whereas RNA silencing promotes RNA degradation to repress the expression of selected endogenous RNAs or exogenous RNA derived from transgenes and virus. Interestingly, emerging evidences have indicated that RQC and RNA silencing interact with each by sharing target RNAs and regulatory components. Such interaction should be tightly organized for proper cellular survival. However, it is still elusive that how each machinery specifically recognizes target RNAs. In this review, we summarize recent advances on RNA silencing and RQC pathway and discuss potential mechanisms underlying the interaction between the two machineries.

본 논문에서는 기존의 연구에서 시도되었던 것과는 달리, 복잡하고 추출하기가 어려운 다양한 형태의 자질 및 단서 정보가 필요 없는 합성곱 구문 트리 커널 기반의 단백질 간 상호작용 추출 기법을 소개한다. 이 기법의 특징은 단백질 이름 쌍을 포함한 상호작용 포함 후보 문장에 대한 구문 트리만을 이용하여 추출을 시도한다는 것이며 부가적인 자질이나 커널 함수가 불필요하다는 장점이 있다. 이를 기반으로 본 논문의 연구 성과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 단백질 간 상호작용 추출에 있어서 구문 트리 커널을 적용할 경우 불필요한 문맥 정보를 효과적으로 제거하는 구문 트리 가지치기 작업이 필수적임을 기존 연구 결과와의 성능 비교로써 증명한다. 둘째, 동일한 학습 조건에서 구문 트리 커널의 소멸 인자(decay factor)는 평활 인자(smoothing factor)로서 중요한 역할을 하며, 성능 변화의 핵심 요소임을 보인다. 특히 학습 집합의 규모에 따라서 소멸인자가 성능에 미치는 영향력이 상이한 패턴으로 나타남을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 기존의 최신 연구결과로서 주장한 "단일 커널보다 혼합 커널의 성능이 더 뛰어나다"라는 가설이 항상 성립하는 것은 아니라는 것을 합성곱 구문 트리 커널 단독으로 적용하여 높은 성능을 나타냄으로써 보여주었다. 동일한 조건으로 수행한 실험에서 기존의 두 연구 결과에 비해 19.8%, 14%의 성능 개선을 나타내었다.
