We discuss the structural and optical characteristics of GaN nanowires (NWs) grown on Si(111) substrates by a plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. The GaN NWs with high crystal quality were formed by adopting a new growth approach, so called Ga pre-deposition (GaPD) method. In the GaPD, only Ga was supplied without nitrogen flux on a SiN/Si surface, resulting in the formation of Ga droplets. The Ga droplets were used as initial nucleation sites for the growth of GaN NWs. The GaN NWs with the average heights of 60.10 to 214.62 nm obtained by increasing growth time. The hexagonal-shaped top surfaces and facets were observed from the field-emission electron microscope images of GaN NWs, indicating that the NWs have the wurtzite (WZ) crystal structure. Strong peaks of GaN (0002) corresponding to WZ structures were also observed from double crystal x-ray diffraction rocking curves of the NW samples. At room temperature, free-exciton emissions were observed from GaN NWs with narrow linewidth broadenings, indicating to the formation of high-quality NWs.

This review provides a comprehensive overview of brain imaging studies of the brain-gut interaction in functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). Functional neuroimaging studies during gut stimulation have shown enhanced brain responses in regions related to sensory processing of the homeostatic condition of the gut (homeostatic afferent) and responses to salience stimuli (salience network), as well as increased and decreased brain activity in the emotional response areas and reduced activation in areas associated with the top-down modulation of visceral afferent signals. Altered central regulation of the endocrine and autonomic nervous responses, the key mediators of the brain-gut axis, has been demonstrated. Studies using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging reported abnormal local and global connectivity in the areas related to pain processing and the default mode network (a physiological baseline of brain activity at rest associated with self-awareness and memory) in FGIDs. Structural imaging with brain morphometry and diffusion imaging demonstrated altered gray- and white-matter structures in areas that also showed changes in functional imaging studies, although this requires replication. Molecular imaging by magnetic resonance spectroscopy and positron emission tomography in FGIDs remains relatively sparse. Progress using analytical methods such as machine learning algorithms may shift neuroimaging studies from brain mapping to predicting clinical outcomes. Because several factors contribute to the pathophysiology of FGIDs and because its population is quite heterogeneous, a new model is needed in future studies to assess the importance of the factors and brain functions that are responsible for an optimal homeostatic state.

Purpose - This research is intended to analyze the current status and problems of tax benefits in the R&D sector and suggest ways to improve tax credit for research and manpower development expenses when various countries fiercely develop efforts to enhance national competitiveness through increased investment in R&D Design/methodology/approach - This study will examine the current status of the tax support system for domestic and foreign R&D, and suggest improvement measures to expand research and development activities in the future. Findings - First, a plan may be considered to abolish and perpetuate the sunset deadline for tax credit for research and manpower development expenses as in the case of the United States and Japan. This perpetuation can be a proactive measure to actively support long-term R & D investment in companies facing economic decisions under uncertainty. Second, it should be revised to raise the tax credit rate of large corporations, which are shrinking every year, compared to SMEs, so that both large corporations and SMEs can improve their international competitiveness and secure excellent technologies through R & D. Finally, the target technologies for each new growth engine and source technology should be expanded to various fields, including national cybersecurity enhancement technology, aviation engine technology, carbon emission and global cooling technologies, which are areas of interest in major overseas R&D countries, to help active R&D and investment in these areas. Research implications or Originality - This study can find a contribution in comparing and analyzing the national R&D tax support system and presenting improvement measures at a time when the benefits of tax credit for research and manpower development expenses of large companies are decreasing due to frequent tax law revisions and the government's factors of increasing tax revenues. In addition, recent research and development items and research technologies of foreign countries were analyzed by Nature's top 10 major science and technology issues, and advanced technologies that should be applied to target technology areas by new growth engine and source technology were specifically investigated and presented.

Industrial emissions, mainly from industrial complexes, are important sources of ambient Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Identification of the significant VOC sources from industrial complexes has practical significance for emission reduction. VOC samples were collected from July 2019 to June 2020. A Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) receptor model was used to evaluate the VOC sources in the area. Four sources were identified by PMF analysis, including coating-1, coating-2, printing, and vehicle exhaust. The coating-1 source was revealed to have the highest contribution (41.5%), followed by coating-2 (23.9%), printing (23.1%), and vehicle exhaust (11.6%). The source showing the highest contribution was coating emissions, originating from the northwest to southwest of the sample site. It also relates to facilities that produce auto parts. The major components of VOC emissions from the coating facilities were toluene, m,p-xylene, ethylbenzene, o-xylene, and butyl acetate. Industrial emissions should be the top priority to meet the relevant control criteria, followed by vehicular emissions. This study provides a strategy for VOC source apportionment from an industrial complex, which is helpful in the development of targeted control strategies.

In recent years, there has been a growing argument attributing the primary cause of global climate change to livestock industry, which has led to the perception that the livestock industry is synonymous with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, a closer examination of the global GHG emission by sector reveals that the energy sector is responsible for the majority, accounting for 76.2% of the total, while agriculture contributes 11.9%. According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the total GHG emissions associate with the livestock supply chain amount to 14.5%. Within this, emissions from direct sources, such as enteric fermentation and livestock manure treatment, which are not part of the front and rear industries, represent only 7%. Although it is true that the increase in meat consumption driven by global population growth and rising incomes, has contributed to higher methane (CH₄) emissions resulting from enteric fermentation in ruminant animals, categorizing the livestock industry as the primary source of GHG emissions oversimplifies a complex issue and disregards objective data. Therefore, it may be a misleading to solely focus on the livestock sector without addressing the significant emissions from the energy sector, which is the largest contributor to GHG emissions. The top priority should be the objective and accurate measurement of GHG emissions, followed by the development and implementation of suitable reduction policies for each industrial sector with significant GHG emissions contributions.

본 시험은 두충 급여가 거세한우의 성장, 도체특성, 육질특성 및 육의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 수행하였다. 기초사료로 배합사료와 볏짚을 급여하였으며, 건조 두충 잎을 건물기준으로 조사료의 3, 5 및 10%를 대체․급여하였다. 시험사료의 사료적 가치를 평가하기 위하여 평균체중 321±13kg의 거세한우 72두(4개구$\time$6 두$\time$3 반복)를 공시하여 약 15개월간 실시하였다. 일당 증체량은 대조구를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 0.81-0.86kg으로 유의차는 없었다. 사료요구율도 대조구를 포함한 모든 처리구에서 10.05-10.59로서 개선효과는 없었다. 분변내 NH3 가스 발생량은 두충 잎의 급여비율이 높을수록 감소하였다. 즉 40℃에서 12시간 발효시에는 대조구와 3% 구는 각각 30.6ppm과 29.8ppm이었으나 5% 구와 10% 구는 각각 20.3ppm과 21.6ppm으로 낮았다(p<0.05). 등지방 두께는 대조구는 15.0mm였으며 5-10% 급여시 10.2-10.5mm로 얇은 경향이었다(p<0.05). 육량 A 등급 출현율은 3% 급여시 약 20%가 증가하였으며, 육질 1+와 1 등급 출현율은 두충 잎을 5-10% 급여시 약 10-15%가 증가하였다. 등심의 육색에 대한 CIE L*, a* 및 b* 값은 각 시험구간 차이는 없었으며, 우둔의 CIE L*, a* 및 b* 값에서도 각 시험구간에 차이는 없었다. 지방산 함량에 있어서 등심과 우둔에서 공히 C18:1은 두충 잎을 5-10% 급여구에서 증가하였다(p<0.05). 등심의 cholesterol 함량은 10% 급여한 구가 53.3mg /100g으로 대조구와 3% 구 및 5% 구의 55.7-57.0mg/100g으로 비해 낮았다(p<0.05). 하리의 발생비율은 대조구가 약 20.3%였으며 두충 잎을 5-10% 대체 급여할 경우에는 10.4-12.5%로 크게 감소되었다(p<0.05). 호흡기 발병비율은 두충 잎을 대체함으로 개선되는 경향이지만 유의차는 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 두충 잎에는 다양한 기능성을 가지는 생리활성 물질이 상당량 함유된 기능성 사료로의 개발 가능성이 매우 높다. 또한 두충 잎을 음건하여 반추동물에 급여할 경우 육질 개선 및 하리 발생비율이 감소되기 때문에 고급육 생산에 효과적이었다. 따라서 두충 잎을 거세한우에 급여할 경우 조사료의 5-10%를 대체하는 것이 가장 유리할 것으로 생각된다.

10nm Ni/30 nm와 70nm poly Si/200nm $SiO_2/Si(100)$ 구조로부터 니켈실리사이드의 열적안정성을 연구하기 위해서 쾌속열처리기를 이용하여 실리사이드화 온도 $300{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$에서 40초간 열처리하여 실리사이드를 제조하였다. 준비된 실리사이드의 면저항값 변화, 미세구조, 상 분석, 표면조도 변화를 각각 사점면저항측정기, FE-SEM, TEM, HRXRD, SPM을 활용하여 확인하였다. 30 nm 다결정실리콘 기판 위에 형성된 실리사이드는 $900^{\circ}C$까지 열적안정성이 있었다. 반면에 70 nm 다결정실리콘 기판 위에 형성된 실리사이드는 기존연구결과와 동일한 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 고저항상인 $NiSi_2$로 상변화 하였다. HRXRD로 확인한 결과, 30 nm 두께의 기판 위에 니켈실리사이드는 $900^{\circ}C$ 고온에서도 NiSi상이 유지되다가 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 $NiSi_2$로 상변화 하였다. FE-SEM 과 TEM 관찰결과, 30 nm 두께의 다결정실리콘 기판에서는 $700^{\circ}C$의 저온처리에는 잔류 다결정실리콘 없이 매우 균일하고 평탄한 40 nm의 NiSi가 형성되었고, $1000^{\circ}C$에는 선폭 $1.0{\mu}m$급의 미로형 응집상이 생성됨을 확인하였다. 70 nm 두께의 다결정실리콘 기판에서는 불균일한 실리 사이드 형성과 잔류 다결정실리콘이 존재하였다. SPM결과에서 전체 실험구간에서의 RMS 표면조도 값도 17nm 이하로 CMOS공정의 FUSI게이트 적용의 가능성을 보여주었다. 다결정실리콘 게이트의 높이를 감소시키면 니켈실리사이드는 상안정화가 용이하며 저저항구간을 넓힐 수 있는 장점이 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand what kinds of chemical substances have been used annually and to investigate incidents that occurred due to chemical hazard release and to analyze statistically clinically chemical injury patients who visited one regional emergency medical center in Gumi city with documented references review. Methods: Annual chemical waste emission quantity (Kg/Year) (Cwep) was reproduced using national web site data governed by the Ministry of Environment and 5 years (from 1 .Jan. 2010 to 31. Dec. 2014) of medical records of chemical injury patients who visited our emergency department were reviewed retrospectively. By applying exclusion criteria, 446 patients of 460 patients were selected. Results: Dichloromethane, Toluene, Trichloroethylene, and Xylene were always included within Top 5 of Cweq. Six cases of chemical incidents were reported and in 3 of 6 cases involving Hydrogen fluoride were included during the study period. Male gender and twenties were the most prevalent group. Injury evoking chemicals were Hydrogen fluoride, unknown, complex chemicals (over 2 substances) in sequence. The most frequent site of wounds and injuries was the respiratory tract. Gas among status, intoxication among diagnosis, and discharge among disposition was most numerous in each group. Conclusion: There have been no uniform clinical protocols for chemical wounds and injuries due to various kinds of chemicophysical properties and ignorance of antidotes. Therefore conduct of a multicenter cohort study and experiments for ruling out chemicals according to chemicophysical priority as well as development of antidotes and clinical protocols for chemical injury patients is needed.
