  • Kyungsan nursery complex which has a vast area for the production of various species of fruit tree stocks is in a high demand of virus-free saplings. Apple tree stocks, the most important products, urgently need more rapid and reliable viral diagnosis. In this study, a bead beater was tested because of convenience in dealing with large number of samples. Also, industrial glass bead abrasive (0.4 mm in diameter) at very low cost was used in a disposable way. For bead beater-aided RNA extraction from apple stem tissues, the guanidine thiocyanate method was confirmed to be very reliable. Silca membrane filter tube in connection to vacuum filtering device was strongly suggested for simplifying RNA capture and washing steps. Apple virus detection was confirmed by RT-PCR.

  • Chest tube insertion is a common procedure usually done for the purpose of draining accumulated air or fluid in the pleural cavity. Small-bore chest tubes (${\leq}14F$) are generally recommended as the first-line therapy for spontaneous pneumothorax in non-ventilated patients and pleural effusions in general, with the possible exception of hemothoraces and malignant effusions (for which an immediate pleurodesis is planned). Large-bore chest drains may be useful for very large air leaks, as well as post-ineffective trial with small-bore drains. Chest tube insertion should be guided by imaging, either bedside ultrasonography or, less commonly, computed tomography. The so-called trocar technique must be avoided. Instead, blunt dissection (for tubes >24F) or the Seldinger technique should be used. All chest tubes are connected to a drainage system device: flutter valve, underwater seal, electronic systems or, for indwelling pleural catheters (IPC), vacuum bottles. The classic, three-bottle drainage system requires either (external) wall suction or gravity ("water seal") drainage (the former not being routinely recommended unless the latter is not effective). The optimal timing for tube removal is still a matter of controversy; however, the use of digital drainage systems facilitates informed and prudent decision-making in that area. A drain-clamping test before tube withdrawal is generally not advocated. Pain, drain blockage and accidental dislodgment are common complications of small-bore drains; the most dreaded complications include organ injury, hemothorax, infections, and re-expansion pulmonary edema. IPC represent a first-line palliative therapy of malignant pleural effusions in many centers. The optimal frequency of drainage, for IPC, has not been formally agreed upon or otherwise officially established.

  • The fundamental experiments for measuring soft x-ray characteristics from the vacuum capillary are described. These experiments were primarily performed in order to generate line spectra such as x-ray lasers. The generator consists of a high-voltage power supply, a polarity-inversion ignitron pulse generator, a turbo-molecular pump, and a radiation tube with a capillary. A high-voltage condenser of 200 nF in the pulse generator is charged up to 20 kV by the power supply, and the electric charges in the condenser are discharged to the capillary in the tube after closing the ignitron. During the discharge, weakly ionized plasma forms on the inner and outer sides of a capillary. In the present work, the pump evacuates air from the tube with a pressure of about 1 mPa, and a demountable capillary was developed in order to measure x-ray spectra according to changes in the capillary length. In this capillary, the anode (target) and cathode elements can be changed corresponding to the objectives. The capillary diameter is 2.0 mm, and the length is adjusted from 1 to 50 mm. When a capillary with aluminum anode and cathode electrodes was employed, both the cathode voltage and the discharge current almost displayed damped oscillations. The peak values of the voltage and current increased when the charging voltage was increased, and their maximum values were -10.8 kV and 4.7 kA, respectively. The x-ray durations observed by a 1.6 ${\mu}$m aluminum filter were less than 30 ${\mu}$s, and we detected the aluminum characteristic x-ray intensity using a 6.8 ${\mu}$m aluminum filter. In the spectrum measurement, two sets of aluminum and titanium electrodes were employed, and we observed multi-line spectra. The line photon energies seldom varied according to changes in the condenser charging voltage and to changes in the electrode element. In the case where the titanium electrode was employed, the line number decreased with corresponding decreases in the capillary length. Compared with incoherent visible light, these rays from the capillary were diffracted and diffused greatly after passing through two slits.

  • Nowadays, Plasma has been used in biological, medical such as wound healing, plant grow, killing cancer. When plasma generated, UV light and ROS(Reactive oxygen species), RNS(Reactive nitrogen species) can generated and those things effect to biological material. So we made simple plasma device using needle type of electrode and generated plasma. We used three kinds of gas and measured applied voltage and current. Also we observed optical emission spectrum. Using deuterium ramp, we can observed absorption spectrum and calculated radical density by lambert-beer's law. It is around ~1016cm3. And we can see the time-resolved absorption spectrum from monochromator, PMT(photo multiply tube), IV-converter, oscilloscope.

  • Visible photoluminescence(PL) in si-implanted SiO2 films on crystaline silicon were observed. Thermal oxide films of 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness on P-type crystal silicon were made and si+ ions were implanted with 200keV acceleration voltage on ti. Argon laser (wavelength 488nm) and PM tube were used for PL measurements. As annealing time increased at low temperature, the visible PL intensity are increased and the peak positions are changed. On the other hand, with increasing annealing time at high temperature, the visible PL intensity are disappeared. From the PL peaks and intensity changes, XRD results, and TEM observations, we will discuss the origin of PL in Si+-implanted SiO2 films with oxygen righ defects and silicon rich defects.

  • Flexible device 및 OLED 디스플레이 제조를 위한 산화물 반도체 보호막 증착 및 encapsulation 공정을 위해 균일한 대면적 플라즈마를 만들기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 초고주파 플라즈마는 고밀도, 고효율의 플라즈마를 저진공에서 쉽게 생성시킬 수 있고 다양한 전력결합방법을 통해 대면적 확장성이 우수한 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 TEM 웨이브가이드로 파워가 전달되는 선형 초고주파 플라즈마 소스에 대한 2차원축대칭 유체 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. Ar 가스 압력과 초고주파 입력전력이 증가함에 따라 전자밀도가 증가하였고 도파관 방향으로 플라즈마의 길이가 증가함이 관측되었다. Quartz Tube 표면 가까이에서 전자밀도가 가장 높게 나타났다. 전자의 에너지 손실 채널중 가장 많은 부분을 차지하는 것은 여기종 생성에 따른 에너지 손실이었으며 탄성 충돌에 의한 에너지 손실이 두 번째로 큰 부분을 차지하였다.

  • The vibrational distribution of $N_2$ (B, v') in after-glows in $N_2$ RF flowing plasma was investigated. The optical emission of the after-glow was studied as function of distance from plasma. In a tube 2.1 cm, the gas pressure varied 8 Torr with 1000sccm nitrogen gas flowing late.. The discharges were excited by two ring-electrode powered by RF 13.56 MHz 100 Watt. $N_2$ (B, v') vibrational distribution was analyzed to see depends of position in after-glow. Dissociation rate of $N_2$ varied showing maximum in the late after-glow region. We studied $N_2$ RF capacitive flowing plasmas and afterglows by emission spectroscopy and by NO titration to determine the density of N-atoms.

  • 진공상태에서 diamond stylus로 MgO 표면을 마모시킬 때 발생되는 photon, electron과 마찰력을 시간의 함수로 동시에 측정하였다. 전자 방출(EE)은 Channeltron electron multiplier로 , 광자 에너지는 Photomultiplier tube를 사용하여 측정하였는데 180~600nm 영역의 photon을 검출하였다. 광자 방출(PhE,) 실험은 공기중에서도 할 수 있으나 전자방출은 1$\times$10-4pa 이하의 진공에서 실험하여 얻었다. 본 실험을 통하여 결정과 diamond stylus 사이에서 일어나는 마모 현상은 millisecond로 관찰하여 표면 변화에 대한 상관관계를 조사하였다. 열처리 한것과 열처리 하지 않은 시료를 비교한 결과 3개의 signal(마찰력, PhE, EE)을 시간에 따라 분석하면 stick-slip-like 현상을 볼 수 있었다. 이것으로 보아 stick은 변형에 의해 생기고 ms 후에 벽개 현상이 발생됨을 볼 수 있다. 방출과 마찰력은 표면조건, load, stylus velocity에 따라 변하였다. luminescence는 주로 변형에 의해 생겼으며, 전자 방출은 벽개(fracture)에 의해 발생됨을 알 수 있었다. 시료의 처리과정과 load 속도에 따른 Photon, electron의 방출은 시료의 표면 상태에 따라 좌우되었다. 마찰력, PhE, EE의 시간에 따른 분석에서 PhE는 변형 과정에 민감하며, EE는 stylus velocity에 의존하였다. 이러한 방출 현상은 세라믹의 급격한 벽개 과정을 이해하는데 많은 도움을 주었다.

  • 최근 과학 전 분야에서 나노 스케일에서의 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 컴퓨터를 이용하여 실험에서 발견되는 현상을 해석하거나 일어날 일을 예측하는 일이 중요해지고 있다. 이러한 전산모사를 수행하기 위하여, 원자구조의 모델링이 선행되어야 한다. 현재 본 그룹에서는 Python 언어를 기반으로 모델링을 위한 패키지를 개발하고 있다. 이 패키지에는 최근 나노과학에서 빈번히 사용되는 Graphene이나 Carbon Nano Tube, 실리콘 표면 등을 생성하는 기능과 만든 모델을 편집하여 연구자가 원하는 모델을 편집하는 기능이 포함되어 있다. 향후 Python을 모르는 사람들도 쓸 수 있는 GUI (graphic User Interface) 를 구현할 예정이다.
