About 600 strains of bacteria which can utilize methanol as the sole source of carbon were isolated from natrual sources, and their ability to produce amino acids on the medium containing methanol as the sole source of carbon was tested by paper chromatography, by which 3 strains were screened by virtue of their relatively shperior amino acid production. These were tentatively identified as follows ; one strain belonged to the genus methylomonas, while the remaining two were members of the genus Hyphomicrobium. Further studies on their growth characteristics were carried out with relation to amino acid production. According to these experiments, the following results were obtained. 1) No vitamin added was effective for the growth enhancement. 2) Optimum initial concnetration of methanol was proved to be one per cent (v/v), and no conspicuous effect of feeding methanol on the growth of these bacteria ould be observed, provide that the initial methanol concentration was controlled to 1 per cent. 3) Among the nitrogen sources tested, 0.1 per cent of ${(NH_4)}_2SO_4$ enabled the best growth. 4) Addition of 0.001 per cent $MgSO_4.$ $7H_2O$ largely increased the growth of all three strains. Other metal ions tested were either not effective or strongly inhibitory for the growth. 5) Addition of 0.1 per cent each of yeast extract, corn steep liquor, beef extract, and peptone also increased the growth markedly. 6) About $75{\mu}$g/ml of alanine could be obtained finally after 64 hr culture of Hypm. A on the medium lcontaining 0.1 per cent yeast extract and 1 percent methanol. Approximately $40.{\mu}$g/ml of glutamic acid by Hypm. GA and $43.{\mu}$g/ml of alanine by Mtlm. A were produced at the same culture conditions.

Objectives : The primary purpose of this study was to examine the effect of manual acupuncture at the $LI_4$, $ST_{36}$ and $LR_3$ on normal human EEG (Electroencephalogram). And the secondary purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between the change of EEG wave form using correlation analysis. Methods : 32 channel EEG measurement was carried out in 25 healthy participants (23 males and 2 females). EEG was measured for 21 minutes including 15 minutes of retention time. In this study, power spectrum was used as a measure of complexity. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman correlation. Results : The results were as follows; 1. In C4, O1, Fz, Pz, Cz, FCz, CP4, FC4, TP7, FT7 among 32 electrodes, ${\delta}$, $\theta$ and ${\beta}$ wave increased during 0-3 time intervals, and especially in case of TP7, FT7 ${\alpha}$ wave spontaneously decreased during 12~15 time intervals in manipulation group. 2. Between $\theta$ and ${\beta}$ wave and $\theta$ and ${\delta}$ wave, there was statistically significant positive correlation in C4, O1, Fz, Pz, Cz, FCz, CP4, FC4, TP7, FT7 according to Spearman correlation analysis. 3. Between ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ wave, there was statistically significant positive correlation in TP7, FT7 according to Spearman correlation analysis. Conclusions : These results suggest that TP7 and FT7 could be typical electrodes representing change of EEG after manipulated acupuncture at the $LI_4$, $ST_{36}$ and $LR_3$. The relationships between the change of EEG wave form appear to have statistically significant positive correlation between $\theta$ and ${\beta}$ wave, $\theta$ and ${\delta}$ wave and ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ wave.

To investigate the characteristics of phases formed in iron carbides, super iron carbide was synthesized from hematite fines with $CO-H_2$ gas mixture after reduction under $H_2$ gas at $600^{\circ}C$. Before carburization, the surface of iron powder reduced was pre-treated in the atmosphere of 0.05 vol% $NH_3$-Ar. The synthesized iron carbides were comprehensively explored by C/S analyzer(Low C/S determinator), M$\"{o}$ssbauer spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction patterns(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and Raman spectroscopy at various reaction time of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 min, respectively. By adding a small amount of $NH_3$ gas, the super iron carbides containing 10 wt% carbon were synthesized, and its addition stabilized iron carbides. It was found that the $NH_3$ treatment played a major role in the formation of iron carbide without decomposition($Fe_3C{\to}$3Fe+C) of iron carbides and precipitation of free carbon. It also succeed to synthesize super iron carbide, $Fe_5C_2$, as a stable single phase without involving Fe and $Fe_3C$ phases.

Maintaining the original canal path during instrumentation is a challenge in narrow curved canals. This study compared the maintenance of the original canal path of curved root canals during instrumentation with two kinds of stainless steel K-files(Brassler USA & Mani Japan), K-flexofiles(Maillefer Swiss) and Ni-Ti files(Brassler USA, Savannah, GA) using circumferential filing technique to # 40 MAF on 60 extracted human molars. Buccal and mesial canals with minimal initial curvature of 20 degrees were used. The maximal initial curvature was 41.5 degrees. Sixty curved canals divided into four groups according to file type(Group 1 : Ni-Ti file, Group 2 : K-flexofile, Group 3: K-file(Brassler), Group 4 : K-file(Mani)). Radiographs of canals were obtained before and after canal shaping. And postoperative radiographs were compared with preoperative radiographs using superimposition method. Data analysis was performed using Covariance analysis and paired-comparison test. The results observed were as follow ; 1. The angle of curvature was better maintained with Ni-Ti file than with stainless steel files. (p<0.01) 2. There was no significant difference in maintaining canal curvature between K-flexofile, Brassler$^{(R)}$ K-file and Mani$^{(R)}$ K-file, although there was some differences in mean values of postoperative canal curvature. 3. Paired-comparison t test revealed significant differences within each of the three stainless steel file types when comparing the mean differences before and after instrumentation, but no significant differences were observed within Ni-Ti file group.

The paper addresses contribution to the modeling and optimization of major machinability parameters (cutting force, surface roughness, and tool wear) in finish dry hard turning (FDHT) for machinability evaluation of hardened AISI grade die steel D₃ with PVD-TiN coated (Al₂O₃-TiCN) mixed ceramic tool insert. The turning trials are performed based on Taguchi's L₁₈ orthogonal array design of experiments for the development of regression model as well as adequate model prediction by considering tool approach angle, nose radius, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut as major machining parameters. The models or correlations are developed by employing multiple regression analysis (MRA). In addition, statistical technique (response surface methodology) followed by computational approaches (genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization) have been employed for multiple response optimization. Thereafter, the effectiveness of proposed three (RSM, GA, PSO) optimization techniques are evaluated by confirmation test and subsequently the best optimization results have been used for estimation of energy consumption which includes savings of carbon footprint towards green machining and for tool life estimation followed by cost analysis to justify the economic feasibility of PVD-TiN coated Al₂O₃+TiCN mixed ceramic tool in FDHT operation. Finally, estimation of energy savings, economic analysis, and sustainability assessment are performed by employing carbon footprint analysis, Gilbert approach, and Pugh matrix, respectively.

산업화 이후, 석탄 석유를 중심으로 한 화석연료가 이산화탄소를 대량으로 배출하며 지구 온난화를 야기함에 따라, 기존의 화석연료를 대체할 청정하고 무한 재생 가능한 대체에너지로 가장 큰 기대를 받고 있는 것은 태양에너지이며, 이에 보조를 맞춰 태양광발전에 대한 연구개발이 국내외적으로 활발히 진행되고 있는 실정이다. 태양 전지는 빛 에너지를 직접 전기 에너지로 바꿔주는 소자로, 셀의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 최대한 많은 빛을 흡수시킬 수 있는 것이 중요하다. 빛의 반사를 줄이는 방법에는 texturing과 antireflecting coating이 있다. Antireflecting coating은 반도체와 공기의 중간 굴절율을 갖는 박막을 증착하여 측면 반사를 감소시킴으로서 빛의 손실을 감소시키는 역할을 한다. 과거에 반사방지막으로 가장 많이 사용되었던 물질은 SiO로써 굴절률은 1.8~1.9로서 최소의 반사율은 1% 미만이지만, 가시광선영역에서의 흡수에 의한 손실이 생기므로, SiNx가 대체 물질로 제안되었다. SiNx의 경우 굴절률이 약 1.5로서 Si에 쉽게 형성시킬 수 있고, texturing된 Si 표면에 적합하며 반사율을 10%에서 2%로 줄일 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 high power, high frequency PECVD 방법으로 $SiH_4$와 $NH_3$ gas의 비율, $N_2$ carrier gas 등 공정 변수를 변화시켜 증착한 SiNx 박막의 결정학적 특성을 X-ray diffraction 분석과 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 통해 화학적 결합을 확인하였고, 이를 FT-IR (Fourier Transform-Infrared spectroscopy)를 통해 관찰한 결과와 연관시켜 분석하였다. 굴절율의 경우 ellipsometer를 이용하여 측정하였으며 위의 측정을 통하여 SiNx박막의 반사 방지막으로써의 가능성을 확인 하였다.

The $Cu_2ZnSnSe_4$ (CZTSe) thin films solar cell is one of the next generation candidates for photovoltaic materials as the absorber of thin film solar cells because it has optimal bandgap (Eg=1.0eV) and high absorption coefficient of $10^4cm^{-1}$ in the visible length region. More importantly, CZTSe consists of abundant and non-toxic elements, so researches on CZTSe thin film solar cells have been increasing significantly in recent years. CZTSe thin film has very similar structure and properties with the CIGS thin film by substituting In with Zn and Ga with Sn. In this study, As-deposited CZTSe thin films have been deposited onto soda lime glass (SLG) substrates at different deposition condition using Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) technique without post-annealing process. The effects of deposition conditions (deposition time, deposition temperature) onto the structural, compositional and optical properties of CZTSe thin films have been investigated, without experiencing selenization process. The XRD pattern shows that quaternary CZTSe films with a stannite single phase. The existence of (112), (204), (312), (008), (316) peaks indicates all films grew and crystallized as a stannite-type structure, which is in a good agreement with the diffraction pattern of CZTSe single crystal. All the films were observed to be polycrystalline in nature with a high (112) predominant orientation at $2{\theta}{\sim}26.8^{\circ}$. The carrier concentration, mobility, resistivity and optical band gap of CZTSe thin films depending on the deposition conditions. Average energy band gap of the CZTSe thin films is about 1.3 eV.
