Ride comfort of railway vehicles is affected by many factors, such as vibration, noise, smell, temperature, visual stimuli, humidity and a seat design. In general, vibration, which originates from vehicle motion, is considered as the primary concern. In evaluating the ride comfort, relationship between passenger's feeling and vibration characteristics is very important because human feeling is dependent on frequency spectrum of vibration. Therefore, the weighing functions in frequency domain are used to evaluate the ride comfort of railway vehicles. In the present paper, we have analyzed the characteristics of the frequency weighting curves defined in many standards and reviewed the effect resulting from their difference on the ride comfort.

In evaluating the ride comfort of railway vehicles, relationship between passenger's feeling and vibration characteristics is very important because human feeling is dependent on frequency spectrum of vibration. Therefore, the weighing curves in frequency domain are used to evaluate the ride comfort of railway vehicles. These curves have been defined in the Laplace transfer functions. It is necessary to convert the Laplace weighing function to the z weighing function in order to obtain the rms value in the time domain. In the present paper, we have applied Tustin's approximation to transform the Laplace weighing function to the z weighing and validated this method by reviewing the various cases.

염료감응형 태양전지 (DSSC)는 다양한 태양전지 중, 가장 환경친화적이고, 생산단가도 낮을 뿐만 아니라 다양한 색상과 투광성을 확보할 수 있어 많은 연구가 진행되어왔다. 하지만 액체 전해질을 사용하는 기존 염료감응형 태양전지는 높은 휘발성과 열 팽창 수축에 따른 전해질 누액의 문제점으로 인하여 최근에는 고체전해질을 이용한 염료감응형 태양전지의 개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 스크린 프린팅법을 이용하여 TiO2 광전극을 코팅하고 Mg(OH)2를 솔-젤법을 이용하여 스핀 코팅 하였다. 이후에 $500^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 열처리를 통해 MgO 나노 코팅막을 형성하여 고체 박막 태양전지(solid state dye sensitized solar cells)을 제작하였다. MgO 나노 코팅막의 특성은 솔라시뮬레이터를 이용하여 I-V 곡선, transient Voc, dark current를 측정하였고, UV0vis spectroscopy를 이용하여 염료흡착량을 분석하여 코팅막과 효율간의 상관관계를 평가하였다.

고효율 염료감응 태양전지를 제작하기 위해 Sol-gel법을 사용하여 $TiO_2$ 분말을 제조하였다. 제조 과정 중 다양한 양의 nitric acid를 첨가하여 pH를 조절하였다. Sol-gel법을 위한 출발 물질로 titanium (IV) isopropoxide(TTIP)와 DI water를 사용하였으며 nitric acid은 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15의 몰비(nitric acid/TTIP)로 첨가하였다. 첨가한 결과 pH는 $22^{\circ}C$에서 각각 5.52, 2.26, 1.68, 1.38이었다. 얻어진 $TiO_2$ 콜로이드 용액은 결정성 있는 분말로 제조 후 $5{\times}5[mm^2]$ 크기의 염료감응 태양전지를 제작하는데 사용 되였다. $TiO_2$의 결정구조 및 형태는 cell의 XRD와 FE-SEM으로 분석되었고 전기화학적 특성을 분석하기 위해 irradiation of AM 1.5 ($100mW/cm^2$) simulatedsunlight에서 I-V 곡선을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 몰비(nitric acid/TTIP) 0.05, pH가 2.26일 때 가장 우수한 효율 특성을 보였다.

염료감응형 태양전지(Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell, DSSC)의 FTO 표면에 compact layer를 형성시켜 직접적인 마찰에 의한 전자의 재결합을 줄일 수 있다. 따라서 광전극에서의 compact layer의 효과를 최대화하기 위하여 $TiCl_4$ 용액에 acetic acid를 첨가하여 특성변화를 측정하였다. UV-Vis 분광기, I-V 특성곡선, EIS 분석장비를 이용하여 검토한 결과, UV-Vis 분광분석을 통해서 acetic acid를 첨가한 compact layer의 투과도가 현저하게 높아진 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 $TiCl_4$ 처리에 의하여 compact layer를 구성하고 있는 $TiO_2$ 입자의 응집현상이 개선되므로 표면특성이 향상되었기 때문이다. Acetic acid를 첨가한 compact layer가 입자응집으로 인한 표면저항의 감소를 유발하여, 전자의 이동이 원활해진 것을 내부 임피던스 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. Compact layer에 의해 재결합이 감소하여 효율이 향상된 것을 I-V 특성곡선을 분석하여 확인하였다.

A tissue biosensor for the measurement of dopamine has been constructed by immobilizing the slice of Sprague-Dawley rat liver on $NH_3$-sensing electrode. To overcome the defect of tissue sensors, the maximal velocity of response curve was measured and applied to the Lineweaver-Burk equation instead of the Nernst equation. And then compared the results with those obtained from Nernst equation. When we obtained calibration curves from Nernst equation, there were variances on the slope and the linear range. But from Lineweaver-Burk equation, the scale of variance was small. Response time was reduced from 7~12 minutes to 2~3 minutes.

In order to improve the overall power conversion efficiency, it is very important to reduce the interface resistance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this approach, tiny $TiO_2$ nanoparticles with the primary size of 10~20nm were synthesized and deposited between FTO glass and preformed $TiO_2$ layer by $TiOCl_2$ treatment, and also Pt catalysts were deposited on the counter electrode by both ion-sputter and thermal deposition to reduce the electrolyte-counter electrode interface resistance. The influence of these processes on the performace of DSSCs were discussed in terms of fill factor, short circuit current, and conversion efficiency.

Recently, dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) composed of nanoporous $TiO_2$, light-sensitive dyes, electrolytes, and counter electrode have been received much attention. Nanostructured particles with higher surface area for the higher adsorption of Ru (II) dye are required to increase the quantity of light absorption. Also, it has been reported that the key factor to achieve high energy conversion efficiency in the photoelectrode of DSSC is the heat treatment of $TiO_2$ paste with acid addition. In this work, we investigated the influence of acid treatment of $TiO_2$ solar cell on the photovoltaic performance of DSSC. The working electrodes fabricated in this work were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM). In addition, the influence of nanostructured photoelectrode fabricated with the acid-treated paste on the energy conversion efficiency was investigated on the basis of photocurrent-potential curves. It was found that the influence of acid-treated paste on the photovoltaic efficiency was significant.
