Isoflavonoid production in cell cultures of Pueraria tuberosa as influenced by an angiospermic parasite, Cuscuta reflexa, was studied. During the time course, maximum isoflavonoid content was recorded when Cuscuta elicitor was added on day 15 of culture. Among various concentrations of elicitor tried, $1g\;l^{-1}$ of Cuscuta elicitor was found to be the most effective. The optimized elicitation conditions were used in vessels of varying capacity where maximum yield of ${\sim}91mg\;l^{-1}$ of isoflavonoid was recorded in a 2-l bioreactor which was about 19% higher than the control cultures. In this case, puerarin content increased up to $11mg\;l^{-1}$ which was 580% higher that the value recorded in the control cultures. In the bioreactor, 8 days of elicitation was optimal for the high accumulation of isoflavonoid, giving productivity of ${\sim}4mg\;l^{-1}\;day^{-1}$. The study showed persistent high isoflavonoid yield even during scale-up. Use of a preparation of Cuscuta reflexa as an elicitor is reported for the first time. The increase in isoflavonoid content was elicitor dose-dependent and can be explored to trigger high yields of isoflavonoid/secondary metabolites in production.

The aims of this research were to investigate combustion characteristics of lab-scale pressurized oxy-fuel combustion(POFC) system. In this study, the reactor, 800 mm long, was equipped with co-axial burner. Low calorific value syngas that is composed of mainly CO and $H_2$ was used as fuel whereas pure oxygen was used as an oxidant. Thermal heat input to the reactor varied from 2.6 kW to 6.1 kW. The reactor pressure also increases from atmospheric up to 15 bar. The results show that as the pressure increase, the temperature of reactor decreases on the whole in all cases. A significant temperature drop was observed especially at the bottom section of the reactor that exist flame. In addition, the flame instability increases as the pressure increases. Furthermore $NO_x$ emissions increases from atmospheric up to 2 bar. However beyond 2 bar, $NO_x$ emission reduces as pressure increases. Lastly $NO_2$ ratio in $NO_x$ also increases as pressure increases.

Over the past decade, small robots have been of particular interest in the engineering field. Among the various types of small robots, biomimetic robots, which mimic animals and insects, have been developed for special activities in areas where humans cannot physically access. The optimal motion of a walking robot can be determined by the characteristics of the traversed surface (e.g., roughness, curvature, slope, materials, etc.). This study proposes three types of piezoelectric structures using different driving mechanisms, depending on the application range of the small walking robots. Dynamic modeling using computer-aided engineering optimized the shape of the robot to maximize its moving characteristics, and the results were also verified through its fabrication and experimentation. Three types of robots, named by their actuator shapes as I, π, & T-shape, were proposed regarding application for small scale ambulatory robots to different terrain conditions. Among these, the T-shaped robots were shown to have a wide range of speeds (from 2 mm/s up to 255 mm/s) and good carrying capacity (up to 10 g at 50 mm/s) through driving experiments. Based on this study, we proposed possible application areas for the three types of walking robot actuators.

The measurement of ultra low aspect ratio fluid film thickness is very crucial technique both for the verification of lubrication media characteristics and for the clearance design in many precision components such as MEMS, precision bearings and other slideways. Many technologies are applied to the measurement of ultra low aspect ratio fluid film thickness (i.e. elastohydrodynamic lubrication film thickness). In particular, in-situ optical interferometric method has many advantages in making the actual contact behaviors realized with the experimental apparatus. This measurement method also does the monitoring of the surface defects and fractures happening during the contact behavior, which are delicately influenced by the surface conditions such as load, velocity, lubricant media as well as surface roughness. Careful selection of incident lights greatly enhances the fringe resolutions up to $\~1.0$ nanometer scale with digital image processing technology. In this work, it is found that coaxial aligning trichromatic incident light filtering system developed by the author can provide much finer resolution of ultra low aspect ratio fluid film thickness than monochromatic or dichromatic incident lights, because it has much more spectrums of color components to be discriminated according the variations of film thickness. For the measured interferometric images of ultra low aspect ratio fluid film thickness it is shown how the film thickness is finely digitalized and measured in nanometer scale with digital image processing technology and space layer method. The developed measurement system can make it possible to visualize the contact deformations and possible fractures of contacting surface under the repeated loading condition.

This study is aimed at giving the basic information for individual farm households to make decisions for optimizing their farm sizes and for the government to implement farm size optimization policies through the identification of combinations among rice production factors in plain areas like Cheolwon district and the suggestion of the optimal farm sizes of individual farmers based on the scale of economy calculated. The data of agricultural production costs of 50 rice farmers in the plain area which is located in Dongsong-eup Cholwon district, Kangwon province were used in the analysis. The 'translog' cost function among various methods which is a flexible function type was adopted to calculate the scale of economy in rice production. Seemingly unrelated regression(SUR) method was used in forecasting functions and processing other statistics by SHAZAM which is one of the computer aid program for quantitative econometric analysis. In conclusion, the long-run average cost(LAC) curve showed 'U-shape' which was different from 'L-type' one which was shown in the previous studies by others. The lowest point of the LAC was 9.764ha and the concerned production cost amounted to 633 Won/kg. Based on these results, it have to be suggested that around 10 ha of paddy is the target size for policy assistances to save costs under the present level of farming practices and technology. The above results show that the rice production costs could be saved up to 10ha in Cheolwon plain area which is a typical paddy field. However, land use, land condition, land ownership and manager's ability which may affect scale of economy should be considered. Furthermore, reasonable management will have to be realized by means of labor saving technology and cost saving management skill like enlargement of farm size of rice.

선도적으로 기술창출단계의 기술혁신에 성공하여 최초경로로 기술리더가 된 국내기업에 대한 혁신 연구는 새롭게 도전하려는 국내기업과 개발도상국기업에게 시행착오를 줄일 수 있는 시사점을 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 개발도상국기업의 기술창출단계 혁신에 대한 연구가 부족하며, 특히 프로세스혁신에 대한 연구는 제품혁신연구에 비해 더욱 부족한 상황이다. 본 연구는 기술창출단계의 프로세스 기술혁신 프로젝트를 대상으로 하는 탐색적 연구이다. 최초경로로 기술리더가 된 POSCO의 FINEX(파이넥스) 사례에서는 기술창출단계 혁신은 기술내재화단계 고도화의 연장선이라기보다는 높은 위험을 감수하는 최고경영층의 결단에 의해 시도되는 불연속적인 특성이 있으며, 기술창출단계 혁신을 시작하는 개발도상국기업이 일반적으로 초기에 직면하는 원천기술을 개발을 위한 기술역량의 부족은 원천기술을 개발 중인 선발자와의 보완적 기술협력을 통해 극복하였다. 그리고 선진국 경쟁자보다 뒤늦게 기술 개발을 시작하였지만 가장 먼저 상용화단계에 도달할 수 있었던 것은 기술개발 가속화(Speed-up)로 기술개발속도에 영향을 주는 세부요인을 파악하였다.

Micro-stereolithography is a newly proposed technology as a means that can fabricate 3D micro-structures of free form. It makes a 3D structure by dividing the shape into many slices of relevant thickness along honzontal surfaces, hardening each layer of slice with a laser, and stacking them up to a des~red shape. Scale effect becomes important in this micro-fabrication process, d~fferently from the conventional stereolithography. To realize this micro-stereolithography technology, we developed an equipment using Ar+ laser, xyz stages, controllers and all the optic devices. Using the equipment, a number of micro-structures were successfully fabricated including a winecup of several tens of micrometers.
