This study aimed to investigate the suitable of layer on growth of six baby leaf vegetables using existing facilities and equipment in rice seedling nursery. Three kinds of Lactuca(lettuce 'Jinppallola' and 'Romain white', and indian lettuce), two of Brassica(tatsoi and red tatsoi) and amaranth were used as the materials. After sowing, the rice seedling tray was placed in multi bench system($L120{\times}W60{\times}H195cm$, 10th floor), which were low(1st) layer above 15cm, middle(4th) layer above 115cm and high(7th) layer above 175cm apart from ground. Irrigation was sprayed 2~3 times a day using a automatic irrigation system. The growth characteristics and leaf color were investigated when leaf vegetables were reached the optimum size(within 10cm of plant height). During the culture periods(29th Jun.~31th Jul. 2017), daytime average temperature was $27.4{\sim}28.3^{\circ}C$ regardless of layers but solar irradiance was higher in the high-layer than low and middle-layer of 37% and 22%, respectively. The leaf length, leaf width and number of leaves in middle and high-layer have a tendency to increase but, fresh weight was different according to the layer. When the correlation between accumulation radiation and growth was analyzed, all of growth factor of Amaranth showed a high correlation and other cultivars showed correlation with each growth factors. As a result, It is suitable that amaranth and red tatsoi for high-layer, Indian lettuce and tatsoi for middle and high-layer and 'Romain white' for middle-layer. The growth of red lettuce 'Jinppallola' was good at low layer, but leaf color expression was poor. So the high layer is suitable for 'Jinppallola'.

These experiments pertain to various factors influencing the quantitative characters of cocoon crops in summer and early autumn seasons. Initially, in order to establish the possible ways of the silkworm rearing more than three times a year in Korea, the author attempted to get further information about the various factors affecting the cocoon crop in every silkworm rearing season. The trials were conducted eleven times a year at four places for three years. The field trial was conducted with 19 typical sericultural farmers who had been surveyed. At the same time the author statistically analyzed the various factors in close relation to tile cocoon crop in autumn season. The effect of guidance on 40 sericultural farmers was analyzed, comparing higher level farmers with lower level farmers ; and the author surveyed 758 non-guided farmers near the guided farmers during both spring and autumn seasons. In addition, another trial on the seasonal change of leaf quality was attempted with artificial diets prepared with leaves grown in each season. It was found that related factors to cocoon crops in summer and early autumn seasons appeared to be leaf quality, and temperature for young and grown larvae. A 2$^4$ factorial experiment was designed in summer season, and another design with one more level of varied temperature or hard leaf added to a 24 factorial experiment was conducted in early autumn. The experimental results can be summarized： 1. Study on the cocoon crops in the different rearing seasons 1) It was shown that earlier brushing of silkworm generally produced the most abundant cocoon crop in spring season, and earlier or later than the conventional brushing season, especially earlier brushing was unfavorable for the abundant cocoon crop in autumn season. 2) The cocoon crop was affected by the rearing season, and decreases in order of sire with spring, autumn, late autumn, summer and early autumn seasons. 3) It was Proved that ordinary rearing and branch rearing were possibles 4 times a year ; in the 1st, 3rd, 8th, and 10th brushing season. But the 11th brushing season was more favorable for the most abundant cocoon crop of branch rearing, instead of the 10th brushing season with ordinary rearing. 2. Study on the main factors affecting the cocoon crop in autumn season 1) Accumulated pathogens were a lethal factor leading to a bad cocoon crop through neglect of disinfection of rearing room and instruments. 2) Additional factors leading to a poor cocoon crop were unfavorable for rearing temperature and humidity, dense population, poor choice of moderately ripened leaf, and poor feeding techniques. However, it seemed that there was no relationship between the cocoon crop and management of farm. 3) The percentage of cocoon shell seemed to be mostly affected by leaf quality, and secondarily affected by the accumulation of pathogens. 3. Study on the effect of guidance on rearing techniques 1) The guided farms produced an average yearly yield of 29.0kg of cocoons, which varied from 32.3kg to 25.817g of cocoon yield per box in spring versus autumn, respectively. Those figures indicated an annual average increase of 26% of cocoon yield over yields of non-guided farmers. An increase of 20% of cocoon yield in spring and 35% of cocoon yield in autumn were responsible. 2) On guided farms 77.1 and 83.7% of total cocoon yields in the spring and autumn seasons, respectively, exceeded 3rd grade. This amounted to increases of 14.1 and 11.3% in cocoon yield and quality over those of non-guided farms. 3) The average annual cocoon yield on guided farms was 28.9kg per box, based on a range of 31.2kg to 26.9kg per box in spring and autumn seasons, respectively. This represented an 8% increase in cocoon yield on farms one year after guidance, as opposed to non-guided farms. This yield increase was due to 3 and 16% cocoon yield increases in spring and autumn crops. 4) Guidance had no effect on higher level farms, but was responsible for 19% of the increases in production on lower level farms. 4. Study on the seasonal change of leaf quality 1) In tests with grown larvae, leaves of tile spring crop incorporated in artificial diets produced the best cocoon crop; followed by leaves of the late autumn, summer, autumn, and early autumn crops. 2) The cocoon crop for young larvae as well as for grown larvae varied with the season of leaf used. 5. Study on factors affecting the cocoon crops in summer and early autumn A. Early autumn season 1) Survival rate and cocoon yield were significantly decreased at high rearing temperatures for young larvae 2) Survival rate, cocoon yield, and cocoon quality were adversely affected by high rearing temperatures for grown larvae. Therefore increases of cocoon quantity and improvement of cocoon quality are dependent on maintaining optimum temperatures. 3) Decreases in individual cocoon weight and longer larval periods resulted with feeding of soft leaf and hard leaf to young larvae, but the survival rate, cocoon yield and weight of cocoon shell were not influenced. 4) Cocoon yield and cocoon quality were influenced by feeding of hard leaf to grown larvae, but survival rate was not influenced by the feeding of soft leaf and hard leaf. 5) When grown larvae were inevitably raised at varied temperatures, application of varied temperature in the raising of both young and grown larvae was desirable. Further research concerning this matter must be considered. B. Summer season 1) Cocoon yield and single cocoon weight were decreased at high temperatures for young larvae and survival rate was also affected. 2) Cocoon yield, survival rate. and cocoon quality were considerably decreased at high rearing temperatures for grown larval stages.

Removal of NO contained in automobile exhaust gas was accomplished by the non-selective catalyst reduction method. The catalysts were prepared through loading of a specific amount of Ag into ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. The conversion of $NO_x$ was studied by varying the temperatures, $O_2$ concentrations and $SO_2$ concentrations for the prepared catalysts. The influence of the structure of catalyst to $NO_x$ conversion was followed through the analysis of the physical properties of the prepared catalysts. Experiments were conducted on each of the catalysts by varying the reaction conditions to find an optimum condition. The catalyst $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ shows a highest $NO_x$ conversion when the Ag content was 2 wt% and a reaction temperature of about $450^{\circ}C$. and after conducting the experiments, samples of before and after experiments analyzed using XRD, XPS, TPR, and UV-Vis DRS experiments. The result indicated that when Ag oxide content could not be maintained well at high temperatures $NO_x$ conversion decreased.

Ta-silicide films in polycide structure were prepared by rapid thermal annealing of sputtered Ta film on poly-Si and doped poly-Si. Effects of phosphorus on Ta-silicide formation were investigated. Independent of the ion dose($1 \times 10^{13}\to 5 \times 10^{15}$/ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$), Ta-silicide phases were formed at $800^{\circ}C$ and stabilized above $1000^{\circ}C$. From the result of XRD at $800^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$, however, it was indicated that the more the doping concentration the weaker the intensity of Ta-silicide phases. Furthermore, the observation of SEM revealed that the increase of the doping concentration retarded silicidation. As the temperature increased, the dopant effect was weakened gradually and almost disappeared at $1000^{\circ}C$. Therefore the variation of the ion dose from ($1 \times 10^{13}\to 5 \times 10^{15}$/ions/$\textrm{cm}^2$) did not greatly affect the formation of Ta-silicide at high temperatures but retarded slightly the silicidation at low temperatures.

This study was carried out to evaluate the possibility of polyols for coating material of chewing gum. Five polyols xylitol, maltitol, isomalt, erythritol, and sorbitol were compared the coating quality, coating and drying time, and color differences. Maltitol was evaluated to be the best quality for coating the gum, whereas erythritol and sorbitol were not considered for coating materials for gum. These results derived from irregular surface layer and low productivity due to increased coating time. According to changes in color of chewing gum, samples coated maltitol and xylitol and isomalt stored at high temperature. In addition, color difference of sample coated maltitol was calculated 2.88 stored at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 day, but those of xylitol and maltitol were highly evaluated. Sample coated maltitol in polypropylene bag was stored and measured for 1 month. Changes in color of sample was slightly occurred at below $40^{\circ}C$ and the color difference was not more than 3 at $60^{\circ}C$. Chewing gum coated maltitol as coating material was expected more stable in the quality of color during distribution. Current study was performed to color changes during storage, further study will be proceeded about shelf-life of chewing gum coated polyols.

In general, the coal gasification has to be operated under high temperature ($1300{\sim}1400^{\circ}C$) and pressure (30~40 bar). However, to keep this conditions, it needs unnecessary and excessive energy. In this work, to reduce the temperature of process, alkali catalysts such as $K_2CO_3$ and $Na_2CO_3$ were added into Cyprus coal. We investigated the kinetic of Cyprus char-$CO_2$ gasification. To determine the gasification conditions, the coal (with and without catalysts) gasified with fixed variables (catalyst loading, catalytic effects of $Na_2CO_3$ and $K_2CO_3$, temperatures) by using TGA. When catalysts are added by physical mixing method into Cyprus coal the reaction rate of coal added 7 wt% $Na_2CO_3$ is faster than raw coal for Cyprus char-$CO_2$ gasification. The activation energy of coal added 7 wt% $Na_2CO_3$ was calculated as 63 kJ/mol which was lower than raw char. It indicates that $Na_2CO_3$ can improve the reactivity of char-$CO_2$ gasification.

The populations of microorganisms adhered on rice straws which had been ricked in the fields around Chungchong areas during the winter season from February to March in 1998 were investigated. The number of mesophilic bacteria including bacilli was generally high in the middle part of straw. And it appeared to be higher in the samples from rural areas than those from suburb. Thermophilic bacteria and actinomycetes were rarely to be detected in most samples. Coliform bacteria were detected in a few samples which collected from Kwanpyong-dong of Taejon-city, Jangpyong-meun and Jungsan-meun of Chongyang-koon, indicating that these areas were contaminated by sewage and livestock wastes. Following the fermentation of Chungkukgang employed the middle parts of straws from Mok-meun of Chongyang-koon as a source of microbial inoculum, qualities of the fermented products such as amino-nitrogen content, viscosity and protease activity, were examined: the application of rice straws resulted in better qualities of the fermented products when compared to the control, however the methods of application appeared to have little or no effect on the quality.

This paper presents the fabrication of ceramic insulation layer on metallic heat spreading substrate, i.e. an insulated metal substrate, for planar type heater. Aluminum alloy substrate is preferred as a heat spreading panel due to its high thermal conductivity, machinability and the light weight for the planar type heater which is used at the thermal treatment process of semiconductor device and display component manufacturing. An insulating layer made of ceramic dielectric film that is stable at high temperature has to be coated on the metallic substrate to form a heating element circuit. Two technical issues are raised at the forming of ceramic insulation layer on the metallic substrate; one is delamination and crack between metal and ceramic interface due to their large differences in thermal expansion coefficient, and the other is electrical breakdown due to intrinsic weakness in dielectric or structural defects. In this work, to overcome those problem, selected metal oxide buffer layers were introduced between metal and ceramic layer for mechanical matching, enhancing the adhesion strength, and multi-coating method was applied to improve the film quality and the dielectric breakdown property.

The fuel assembly for pressurized water reactor (PWR) consists of fuel rod bundle, spacer grid and bottom/top end fittings. The cooling water in high pressure and temperature is introduced in lower plenum of reactor core and directed to upper plenum through the subchannel which is formed between the fuel rods. The main thermal-hydraulic performance parameters for the PWR fuel are pressure drop and critical heat flux in normal operating condition, and quenching time in accident condition. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been developing an advanced PWR fuel, dual-cooled annular fuel and accident tolerant fuel for the enhancement of fuel performance and the localization. For the key thermal-hydraulic technology development of PWR fuel, the KAERI LWR fuel team has conducted the experiments for pressure drop, turbulent flow mixing and heat transfer, critical heat flux(CHF) and quenching. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was also performed to predict flow and heat transfer in fuel assembly including the spent fuel assembly in dry cask for interim repository. In addition, the research cooperation with university and nuclear fuel company was also carried out to develop a basic thermal-hydraulic technology and the commercialization.

최근 학계나 산업계에서 indium tin oxide (ITO)의 높은 전기 전도도 및 광투과율을 이용하여 줄 발열을 기초로 하는 투명 면상 발열체에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. 하지만 단일 ITO 박막으로 제작한 투명 면상 발열체는 온도가 상승함에 따라 균일하게 발열 되지 않으며, 글라스의 곡면 부분에서 유연성이 부족하여 크랙이 발생하는 다양한 문제점들을 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 ITO의 결정화 온도 $160^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온공정 또는 증착 후 열처리가 필요 하는 추가적인 공정이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 단일 ITO 박막의 단점을 개선하는 ITO/Ag/ITO 하이브리드 구조의 투명 면상 발열체를 제작하여 전기적, 광학적 특성을 비교하고 발열량, 온도 균일성, 발열 유지 안정도를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 $50{\times}50mm$ 크기의 non-alkali glass (Corning E-2000) 기판 상에 마그네트론 스퍼터링 공정으로 상온에서 ITO/Ag/ITO 박막을 연속적으로 증착 하여 다층구조의 하이브리드 형 투명 면상 발열체를 제조하였다. 박막 증착 파워는 DC (Ag) power 100 W, RF (ITO) power 200 W로 하였으며 ITO박막두께는 40 nm로 고정 시키고 Ag박막 두께는 10 ~ 20 nm로 변화를 주었다. 증착원은 3인치 ITO 단일 타깃(SnO2, 10 wt.%)과 Ag 금속 타깃 (순도 99.99%)을 사용하였으며, 고순도 Ar을 이용하여 방전하였으며 총 주입량은 20 sccm, working pressure는 1.0 Pa을 유지하였다. 증착전 타깃 표면의 불순물 제거와 방전의 안정성을 유지하기 위해 10분간 pre-sputtering을 진행하고 증착하였다. 증착한 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성은 각각 Hall-effect measurements system (ECOPIA, HMS3000), UV-Vis spectrophotometer (UV-1800, SHIMADZU)으로 측정하였으며, 하이브리드 표면의 구조 및 형상은 field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, Hitachi S-4800)으로 관찰하였다. 또한 투명 면상 발열체의 성능은 0.5 ~ 3 V/cm의 다양한 전압을 power supply (Keithly 2400, USA)를 통해서 시편 양 끝단에 인가한 후 시간에 따른 투명면상 발열체의 표면 온도변화를 infrared thermal imager (IR camera, Nikon)를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 하이브리드 구조를 가진 ITO박막의 두께는 40 nm로 고정 시키고 Ag박막의 두께는 10, 15, 20 nm로 변화를 주었다. 이들 박막의 면저항 값은 각각 5.3, 3.2, $2.1{\Omega}/{\Box}$였으며, 투과도는 각각 86.9, 81.7, 66.5 %였다. 이에 비해 두께 95 nm의 단일 ITO박막의 면저항 값은 $59.5{\Omega}/{\Box}$였으며, 투과도는 89.1 %였다. 하이브리드 구조의 전기적특성은 금속층의 두께가 증가할수록 캐리어 농도 값이 증가함에 따라 비저항 값이 감소되어 면저항 값도 감소된 것이며, 금속 삽입층의 전도특성이 비저항에 큰 영향을 주고 있음을 보여준다. 하지만 금속 층의 두께가 증가할수록 Ag층이 연속적인 막을 형성하여 반사율이 증가함에 따라 투과도가 감소하였다. 따라서 하이브리드 구조를 가진 투명 면상 발열체에 금속 삽입층의 두께 조절은 매우 중요한 인자임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 발열성능을 평가 하기 위해 시편 양 끝단에 3 V전압을 인가한 결과, 금속 삽입층의 두께가 10 nm에서 5 nm씩 증가한 하이브리드 구조를 가진 투명면상 발열체의 최고 온도는 각각 98, 150, $167^{\circ}C$ 였으며, 단일 ITO의 최고 온도는 $32^{\circ}C$였다. 이 것은 동일한 두께 (95 nm)의 단일 ITO 박막과 비교하여 면저항이 낮은 하이브리드 박막의 발열량은 약 $120^{\circ}C$로 발열효율이 매우 우수한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.
