Currently, e-textile market is rapidly expanding and the emerging area of e-textiles requires electrically conductive threads for diverse applications, including wearable innovative e-textiles that can transmit/receive and display data with a variety of functions. This study introduces hybrid nano-structures which may help increase the conductivity of the textile threads for use in wearable and flexible smart apparels. For this aim, Ag was selected as a conductive material, and yarn treatment was implemented where silver nanowire (AgNW) and graphene flake (GF) hybrid structures overcome the limitations of the AgNW alone. The yarn treatment includes several treatment conditions, e.g., annealing temperature, annealing time, binder material such as polyurethane (PU), coating time, in order to search for the optimum method to form stable conductive nano-scale composite materials as thin film on the surface of textile yarns. Treatedyarns showed improved electrical resistance readings. The functionality of the spandex yarn as a stretchable conductive thread was also demonstrated. When the yarn specimens were treated with colloid of AgNW/GF, relatively good electrical conductivity value was obtained. During the extension and recovery cycles of the treated yarns, the initial resistance values did not deteriorate significantly, since the network of nanowire structure with the support of GF and polyurethane stayed flexible and stable. Through this research, it was found that when one-dimensional structure of AgNW and two-dimensional structure of GF were mixed as colloids and treated on the surface of textile yarns, flexible and stretchable electrical conductor could be formed.

Adsorption and subsequent catalytic reactions of ethanol and acetaldehyde on chemically modified rutile TiO2(001) surfaces are probed by x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) using synchrotron radiation. TiO2 is a well-known photocatalyst for various catalytic reactions including oxidation of organic molecules. In this respect, the surface atomic structure has been found to play a vital role in determining the catalytic reactivity and selectivity of TiO2. In this study, we employ an atomically well-ordered reduced TiO2(001) surface which is prepared in a UHV chamber by repeated Ar+-sputtering and annealing (900 K) cycles. We systematically modify the surface by treating the surface with H2O or O2 at room temperature (RT). The catalytic reactivity of the surface-modified TiO2(001) is evaluated by dosing ethanol/acetaldehyde onto the surface at RT and by subsequent annealing to higher temperatures (400~600 K). XPS spectra of C 1s core level are intensively used to probe any change in the oxidation state of carbon atoms. We find that the reactivity as well as the saturation coverage are significantly affected by the RT-treatment of the TiO2 surface with H2O or O2. For both reactant molecules (ethanol/acetaldehyde), oxidation reactions are found to be enhanced on the O2-treated surface compared with the reduced or H2O-treated surfaces. Possibly reaction pathways are discussed based on the observed XPS spectra.

FIPREL 전산코드를 사용하여 원자로 냉각수 내의 핵분열 생성물에 의한 방사능을 분석함으로써 PWR의 운전시에 발생하는 핵연료 피복관 파손을 평가할 수 있는 효과적인 절차를 모색하였다. 이 코드를 이용하여 핵연료의 농축도, 연소도, 가동온도 및 갭유출계수의 크기로 정량화되는 실제적 파손 크기등의 물리적 파라미터에 대해서 핵분열 생성물의 방사능이 나타내는 민감도에 대한 방대한 계산을 실시하였으며 그 결과는 PROFIP방법에 의한 것과 대체적으로 일치한다. 노출 우라늄이 존재하는 경우에는 옥소보다도 화학적으로 더 안정된 핵종간의 방사능비에 근거하여 반복계산을 실시함으로써 파손된 핵연료 봉에서 유출된 방사능만을 분리해 낸다. 개발된 전산코드로 파손 핵연료봉의 선형출력 밀도, 갯수, 실제적 파손 크기 및 노출우라늄의 질량등을 계산할 수 있다. 고리 1호기의 4주기에 걸친 운전 경험을 이 모텔에 의해 분석한 결과에 의하면 본 모델은 원자력발전소 정상운전시 핵연료봉의 상태를 감시·평가하는데 아주 적합한 것으로 판명되었다.

This study aimed to develop and validate highly sensitive determination method of a prostaglandin ($PGE_1$, OP 1206) in human plasma by LC-MS/MS using column switching. Plasma stored at $-30^{\circ}C$ and treated with methanol effectively inhibited interferences synthesized post-sampling. Samples were added with internal standard and were separated by reversed-phase HPLC with a cycle time of 30min. The method was selective for OP 1206 and the regression models, based on internal standard, were linear across the concentration range 0.5-50 pg/mL with the limit of quantification of 0.5 pg/mL (limit of quantitation, LOQ) for OP 1206. The calibration curve of OP 1206 standards spiked in five individual plasma samples was linear ($r^2=0.9999$). Accuracy and precision at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 40 pg/mL, and at the lower LOQ of 0.5 pg/mL were excellent at 20%. OP120 < 6 was stable in plasma samples for at least 24 hours at room temperature, 24 hours frozen at $-70^{\circ}C$, 24 hours in an auto sampler at $6^{\circ}C$, and for two freeze/unfreezing cycles. The validated determination method successfully quantified the concentrations of OP 1206 in plasma samples from simulated administrating a single $5{\mu}g$ OP 1206 formulation. Thus, this novel LC-MS/MS technique for drug separation, detection and quantitation is expected to become the standard highly-sensitive detection method in bioanalysis and to be applied to many low dose pharmaceutical products.

일주기 유형의 차이는 다양한 관점에서 이해되어야 한다. 기존 연구결과들에 따르면 일주기 유형 중 아침형이 몇몇 정신장애의 보호요인인 반면 저녁형은 위험 요인으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 아침형에서 나타나는 습관들은 저녁형보다 더 건강하다. 성인의 생활양식을 형성하는 과정에 있는 청소년 시기와 생활습관과 관련된 건강 문제가 잦아지는 노년기에 일주기 유형의 중요성이 더욱 크다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 일주기 유형을 생물-심리-사회적 건강 모델에 포함시켜 보다 효율적인 예방 및 치료적 접근을 설계하는 것이 중요하겠다. 정신장애 치료에서도 일주기 리듬을 고려해야 한다. 일반적으로 취침-기상, 식사, 그리고 일상 활동을 규칙적인 아침형 패턴으로 변화시키는 것이 도움이 될 수 있다. 광치료(light therapy)와 멜라토닌 주입(melatonin administration)과 같은 전략들도 정신장애의 치료 및 재발 방지에 효과적일 수 있다. 일주기 유형 기저의 유전학을 이해하는 것 또한 어떤 사람이 특정한 생활 양식이나 정신장애에 취약한지 구별하는데 도움이 될 수 있다.

Understanding the interaction between climate and the water cycle is critical especially in a drought sensitive region such as California. This study explored hydrologic changes in central and southern California in relation to the glacial-interglacial climate cycles over the last 30 thousand years. To do this, we reconstructed paleovegetation using plant wax carbon isotopic compositions (${\delta}^{13}C$) preserved in marine sediment cores retrieved from the central California continental shelf (ODP Site 1018) and Santa Barbara Basin (ODP Site 893A). The results were then compared to the existing sea surface temperature (SST) and pollen records from the same cores to understand terrestrial hydrology in relation to oceanographic processes. The Last Glacial was generally dry both in central and southern California, indicated by grassland expansion, confirming the previously suggested notion that the westerly storm track that supplies the majority of the precipitation in California may not have moved southward during the glacial period. Southern California was drier than central California during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). This drying trend may have been associated with the weakening of the California Current and northerly winds leading to the early increase in SST in southern California and decline in both offshore and coastal upwelling. The climate was wetter during the Holocene in both regions compared to the glacial period and forest coverage increased accordingly. We attribute this wetter condition to the precipitation contribution increase from the tropics. Overall, we found a clear synchronicity between the terrestrial and marine environment which showed that the terrestrial vegetation composition in California is greatly affected by not only the global climate states but also regional oceanographic and atmospheric conditions that regulate the timing and amount of precipitation over California.

The increasing demand for energy storage in mobile electronic devices and electric vehicles has emphasized the importance of electrochemical energy storage devices such as Li-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors. For reversible Li storage, alternative anode materials are actively being developed. In this study, we designed and fabricated an Nb₂O₅-Li₃VO₄ composite for use as an anode material in LIBs and hybrid supercapacitors. Nb₂O₅ powders were dissolved into a solution and the precursors were precipitated onto Li₃VO₄ through a simple, low-temperature hydrothermal reaction. The annealing process yielded an Nb₂O₅-Li₃VO₄ composite that was characterized by X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical tests revealed that the Nb₂O₅-Li₃VO₄ composite electrode demonstrated increased capacities of approximately 350 and 140 mAh g^-1 at 0.1 and 5 C, respectively, were maintained up to 1000 cycles. The reversible capacity and rate capability of the composite electrode were enhanced compared to those of pure Nb₂O₅-based electrodes. These results can be attributed to the microstructure design of the synthesized composite material.

MgO or gadolinium-doped ceria (GDC, $Ce_{0.9}Gd_{0.1}O_{2-{\delta}}$) was added as a promoter to improve the oxygen transfer kinetics of $MgMnO_3$ oxygen carrier material for chemical looping combustion. Neither MgO nor GDC reacted with $MgMnO_3$, even at the high temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$. The average oxygen transfer capacities of $MgMnO_3$, 5 wt% $MgO-MgMnO_3$, and 5 wt% $GDC-MgMnO_3$ were 8.74, 8.35, and 8.13 wt%, respectively. Although the addition of MgO or GDC decreased the oxygen transfer capacity, no further degradation was observed during their use in 5 redox cycles. The addition of GDC significantly improved the conversion rate for the reduction reaction of $MgMnO_3$ compared to the use of MgO due to an increase in the surface adsorption process of $CH_4$ via oxygen vacancies formed on the surface of GDC. On the other hand, the conversion rates for the oxidation reaction followed the order 5 wt% $GDC-MgMnO_3$ > 5 wt% $MgO-MgMnO_3$ >> $MgMnO_3$ due to morphological change. MgO or GDC particles suppressed the grain growth of the reduced $MgMnO_3$ (i.e., (Mg,Mn)O) and increased the specific surface area, thereby increasing the number of active reaction sites.
