최근 태양광발전은 정부의 재생에너지 지원책에 의해 널리 보급되고 있다. 하지만 발전효율은 태양전지 모듈이 일정온도보다 높게 유지될 때 떨어진다. 따라서 일정온도 이하로 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 태양전지 모듈의 효율을 개선하기 위해서 지열교환장치를 개발하였다. 지열교환장치는 태양전지의 열 흡수판과 열전도판 그리고 방열기로 구성된다. 태양전지 모듈의 열은 지열교환 장치에 의해 땅속으로 방열한다. 결과적으로, 지열교환장치는 태양전지모듈의 발전량을 증가시키며, 실험결과는 발생전력이 약 36% 증가함을 보여 주고 있다.

Purpose: Deproteinized bovine bone substitutes are commonly used in dental regenerative surgery for treatment of alveolar defects. In this study, three different bovine bone minerals - OCS-B (NIBEC, Seoul, Korea), Bio-Oss (Geistlich - Pharma, Switzerland), Osteograft/N - 300 (OGN, Dentsply Friadent Ceramed. TN, USA) - were investigated to analyze the basic characteristics of commercially available bone substitutes. Methods: Their physicochemical properties were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), surface area analysis, and Kjeldahl protein analysis. Cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity of human osteosarcoma cells on different bovine bone minerals were evaluated. Results: Three kinds of bone substitutes displayed different surface properties. Ca/P ratio of OCS - B shown to be lower than other two bovine bone minerals in EDS analysis. Bio-Oss had wider surface area and lower amount of residual protein than OCS - B and OGN. In addition Bio - Oss was proved to have lower cell proliferation and ALP activity due to lots of residual micro particles, compared with OCS - B and OGN. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, three bovine bone minerals that produced by similar methods appear to have different property and characteristics. It is suggested that detailed studies and quality management is needed in operations for dental use and its biological effects on new bone formation.

국내 도시철도시스템에서 채용한 직류급전시스템에서 다이오드 정류시스템을 사용하여 역방향 조류가 불가능하다. 이에 따라 전동차의 감속 또는 제동시에 발생하는 회생 전력을 재활용하지 못하고 열에너지로 소비하게 된다. 잉여 회생 전력의 재활용은 에너지 이용의 극대화, 전동차의 제동 성능 향상 및 분진 감소 등의 환경 친화적인 효과를 얻을 수 있으며, 정류기와 역병렬로 인버터를 설치하여 타 계통으로 전달하거나 저장하는 형태로 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 발생한 잉여 회생 전력을 교류 전력으로 변환하여 고압배전계통이나 한전 계통으로 역송전이 기능한 회생용 인버터의 시험 설비 개발 및 성능시험에 대하여 제안하였다. 회생용 인버터 개발 후 개발품의 성능 시험을 위하여 직류급전시스템을 모의할 수 있는 교/직류 전원 설비 및 부하설비를 이용하여 회생용 인버터의 고유 성능을 시험 및 분석하였다.

Although most researchers agree that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a good source of autogenous growth factors, its effect on bone regeneration is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether increasing angiogenic factors in the human PRP to enhance new bone formation through rapid angiogenesis. MATERIAL AND METHODS. In vitro, the human platelets were activated with application of shear stress, $20\;{\mu}g/ml$ collagen, 2 mM $CaCl_2$ and 10U thrombin/$1\;{\times}\;10^9$ platelets. Level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and platelet microparticle (PMP) in the activated platelets were checked. In the animal study, human angiogenic factors-enriched PRP was tested in 28 athymic rat's cranial critical bone defects with $\beta$-TCP. Angiogenesis and osteogenesis were evaluated by laser Doppler perfusion imaging, histology, dual energy X-ray densinometry, and micro-computed tomography. RESULTS. In vitro, this human angiogenic factors-enriched PRP resulted in better cellular proliferation and osteogenic differentiation. In vivo, increasing angiogenic potential of the PRP showed significantly higher blood perfusion around the defect and enhanced new bone formation around acellular bone graft material. CONCLUSION. Angiogenic factor-enriched PRP leads to faster and more extensive new bone formation in the critical size bone defect. The results implicate that rapid angiogenesis in the initial healing period by PRP could be supposed as a way to overcome short term effect of the rapid angiogenesis.

The liquid desiccant air-conditioning system has been proposed as an alternative to the conventional vapor compression cooling systems to control air humidity. The complete system of liquid desiccant air-conditioning system is consisted two main components those are humidifier (regeneration) and dehumidifier. Humidifier part is connected to the load when summer season which is the air condition is hot and humid have to be turned into comfort condition on human. This paper purpose is performances study of air flow rate effect on a structured packed tower on cooling and dehumidifier system using liquid lithium chloride as the desiccant. Experimental apparatus used in this present study is consisted of three components those are load chamber, packed tower and chiller. Load chamber’s volume is $40m^3$, and packed tower dimension is cubic with length 0.4m occupied with packed column. Totally, 15 experimental has done using 5 times repeat on each variable of air velocity that varying on 2m/s, 3m/s and 4m/s with other conditions are controlled. Air inlet initial temperature and relative humidity are set respectively on $30^{\circ}C$ and 52%, desiccant flow rate is 0.63 kg/s, desiccant temperature is $10^{\circ}C$ and desiccant concentration is 0.4. The result of this study shows that averagely, the moisture removal rate and the heat transfer rate are influenced by the air velocity. Higher air velocity will increase the heat transfer and decreasing the moisture removal rate. At adiabatic condition the air velocity of 2 m/s respectively is having the higher moisture removal rate acceleration then the air velocity of 3m/s and 4 m/s until the steady state condition.

Perovskite-type oxides with the nominal composition of ABO₃ can exsolve the B-site transition metal upon the controlled reduction. In this exsolution process, the transition metal emerges from the oxide lattice and migrates to the surface at which it forms catalytically active nanoparticles. The exsolved nanoparticles can recover back to the bulk lattice under oxidation treatment. This unique regeneration character by the redox treatment provides uniformly dispersed noble metal nanoparticles. Therefore, the conventional problem of traditional impregnated metal/support, i.e., sintering during reaction, can be effectively avoided by using the exsolution phenomenon. In this regard, the catalysts using the exsolution strategy have been well studied for a wide range of applications in energy conversion and storage devices such as solid oxide fuel cells and electrolysis cells (SOFCs and SOECs) because of its high thermal and chemical stability. On the other hand, although this exsolution strategy can also be applied to gas phase reaction catalysts, it has seldomly been reviewed. Here, we thus review recent applications of the exsolution catalysts to the gas phase reactions from the aspects of experimental measurements, where various functions of the exsolved particles were utilized. We also review non-perovskite type metal oxides that might have exolution phenomenon to provide more possibilities to develop higher efficient catalysts.

When exposed to gamma-rays, hair follicular cells immediately go through apoptosis, which hampers their rapid differentiation essential for the regeneration of hair. Phloroglucinol (PG) is a phenolic compound of Ecklonia cava, brown algae abundant in Jeju island, Korea. Containing plentiful polyphenols, PG is known for its instructive effects by inhibiting apoptosis, scavenging oxygen radicals, and protecting cells against oxidative stress. In this study, we demonstrate that PG rescues radiosensitive hair follicular cells from gamma radiation-induced apoptosis and DNA damage. To identify protective capacity of PG on hair follicles, we irradiated with 8.5 Gy (1.5 Gy/min) of gamma-rays to the whole body of C57BL/6 mice at day 6 after depilation with or without PG. In mice exposed to radiation, the expression of proapoptotic molecule p53 was downregulated in the skin of PG treated group. On immunohistochemical observation of the skin, PG inhibited the immunoreactivity of p53 and cleaved caspase-3. PG treatment protected hair follicular cells from cell death due to gamma-radiation. Our results suggest that PG presents radioprotective effects by inhibiting apoptosis of radiosensitive hair follicular cells and can protect hair follicular cells from gamma-ray induced damage.

Scaffolds of cell substrates are biophysical platforms for cell attachment, proliferation, and differentiation. They ultimately play a leading-edge role in the regeneration of tissues. Recent studies have shown the potential of bioactive scaffolds (i.e., osteo-inductive) through 3D printing. In this study, rice bran-derived biocomposite was fabricated for fused deposition modeling (FDM)-based 3D printing as a potential bone-graft analogue. Rice bran by-product was blended with poly caprolactone (PCL), a synthetic commercial biodegradable polymer. An extruder with extrusion process molding was adopted to manufacture the newly blended "green material." Processing conditions affected the performance of these blends. Bio-filament composite was characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Mechanical characterization of bio-filament composite was carried out to determine stress-strain and compressive strength. Biological behaviors of bio-filament composites were also investigated by assessing cell cytotoxicity and water contact angle. EDX results of bio-filament composites indicated the presence of organic compounds. These bio-filament composites were found to have higher tensile strength than conventional PCL filament. They exhibited positive response in cytotoxicity. Biological analysis revealed better compatibility of r-PCL with rice bran. Such rice bran blended bio-filament composite was found to have higher elongation and strength compared to control PCL.

전 세계 화석 연료 사용이 지속적으로 증가함에 따라 공기 중 이산화탄소(CO₂) 농도가 수 세기에 걸쳐 증가하고 있다. 대기로의 CO₂ 배출을 줄이기 위한 방법으로, 주요 배출원인 발전소와 공장에 적용할 수 있는 이산화탄소 포집 및 저장(carbon capture and sequestration, CCS) 기술이 개발되고 있다. 기후 변화 완화 정책에 따라 negative emission 기술로 언급되는 공기 중 CO₂ 직접 포집 기술(direct air capture, DAC)은 CO₂ 농도가 0.04%로 매우 낮기 때문에 기존의 CCS 기술에 적용된 기술과 달리 흡착제를 이용한 저농도 CO₂ 포집 연구에 집중되어 있다. DAC 분야는 주로 CO₂의 흡착을 이용한 습식 흡착제, 건식 흡착제, 아민 기능화된 소재, 이온교환 수지 등이 연구되었다. 흡착제 기반 기술은 흡착제 재생에 따른 고온 열처리 공정이 필요하기 때문에 추가적인 에너지 소모가 없는 분리막 기반의 공기 중 CO₂ 포집 기술의 잠재력이 크다. 분리막은 특히 실내 공기 CO₂ 저감 환기 시스템 및 실내용 스마트팜(smart farm) 시스템의 연속적인 CO₂ 공급에 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. CO₂ 처리 기술은 기후 변화를 완화하기 위한 수단으로 개발이 지속되어야 하며 효율적인 공정 설계와 소재 성능 향상을 통해 공기 중 CO₂ 포집의 효율을 높일 수 있을 것이다.
