This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of gamma irradiation and silk peptide on the radiosensitivity of bacteria and the storage stability of ready-to-eat hamburger patty. The $D_{10}$ values obtained for Escherichia coli, Listeria ivanovii, Salmonella typhimurium and Clostridium sporogenes by gamma irradiation were 0.25, 0.50, 0.55 and 1.35 kGy, respectively. The inactivation rate of S. typhimurium ($D_{10}=0.53kGy$) inoculated into hamburger patty with 5%(w/w) silk peptide was reduced 6% compared with the control $D_{10}=0.558kGy$). In acceleration storage at $30^{\circ}C$, microorganisms were not observed in samples irradiated with 7 kGy or 10 kGy during storage. However the irradiation at 5 kGy was insufficient to sterilize the contaminated microorganisms in hamburger patty regardless of the addition of silk peptide (5%). These results indicate that the combined treatment of gamma-irradiation and silk peptide admixture could be helpful to ensure storage stability of ready-to-eat hamburger patty, by controlling the preliminary microbial load.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of treatment with squeous chlorine dioxide and hot water on the germination of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) seeds, and reduction of microbial load on the seeds. Increases in treatment and the concentration of aqueous chlorine dioxide in water resulted in increasing reductions in the counts of total aerobic microbes. Seeds treated with aqueous chlorine dioxide (100 ppm/20min, 200ppm/20min) showed about a 10-fold decrease in microbial loads. Germination of seeds was not adversely affected by any treatment tested, although the germination rate of seeds in the group treated at $55^{\circ}C$ for 20 min was reduced by 10% compared to that of control. Combined treatment with hot water and aqueous chlorine dioxide yielded better out comes in both microbial reduction and seed germination rate than did single treatments. A combined treatment with 100 ppm aqueous chlorine dioxide and hot water($45^{\circ}C$ or $50^{\circ}C$) resulted in about a 100-fold decrease in microbial load whereas germination rate showed only a slight increase to $97.0{\sim}97.7%$. Total aerobic microbial counts in radish seeds were decreased by aqueous chlorine dioxide and hot water treatment in the order. aqueous $CIO_2$+ hot water > aqueous $CIO_2$ > chlorinated water > hot water > control.

This study aimed to a basic research for the development of dye-sensitized solar cells that the wavelength band required for crop growth is passed, and the wavelength band that is not necessary for crop growth can be used for the generation of electricity. The transmissivity according to the illuminance was about 10% higher in the Blue filter and the Green filter than in the Red filter, but the transmissivity according to the PPFD was about 10% higher in the Red filter and the Blue filter than in the Green filter. In addition, the greenhouse attached with 30% infrared blocking filter was predicted to have a lower air temperature than other greenhouses, but it was investigated that there was no significant difference. Therefore, it was investigated that the application of the infrared cut filter would not be appropriate in a greenhouse that controls the temperature by opening a window. As a result of investigating, it was found that the Green and Blue filter greenhouses had the severe overgrowth and the stems grew weaker. The fresh weight of paprika in the infrared blocking filter greenhouse was the highest at 678.9g, and the growth of Red filter and the control greenhouses was relatively poor. Photosynthetic rate, amount of transpiration, and stomatal conductivity were the infrared blocking filter and control greenhouse higher than others. On the other hand, the water use efficiency did not show a big difference.

This experiment aims to determine the proper irrigation scheduling based on a whole-substrate capacitance using a newly developed device (SCMD) by comparing with the integrated solar radiation automated irrigation system (ISR) and sap flow sensor automated irrigation system (SF) for the cultivation of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. 'Hoyong' 'Super Doterang') during spring to winter season. For the SCMD system, irrigation was conducted every 10 minutes after the first irrigation was started until the first run-off was occurred, of which the substrate capacitance was considered to be 100%. When the capacitance threshold (CT) was reached to the target point, irrigation was re-conducted. After that, when the target drain volume (TDV) was occurred, the irrigation stopped. The irrigation volume per event for the SCMD was set to 50, 75, or 100 mL at CT 0.9 and TDV 100 mL during the spring to summer cultivation, and the CT was set to 0.65, 0.75, 0.80, or 0.90 in the winter cultivation. When the irrigation volume per event was set to 50, 75, or 100 mL, the irrigation frequency in a day was 39, 29, and 19, respectively, and the drain rate was 3.04, 9.25, and 20.18%, respectively. When the CT was set to 0.65, 0.75, or 0.90 in winter, the irrigation frequency was about 6, 7, 15 times, respectively and the drain rate was 9.9, 10.8, 35.3% respectively. The signal of stem sap flow at the beginning of irrigation starting time did not correspond to that of solar irradiance when the irrigation volume per event was set to 50 or 75 mL, compared to that of 100 mL. In winter cultivation, the stem sap flow rate and substrate volumetric water content at the CT 0.65 treatment were very low, while they were very high at CT 0.90 was high. All the integrated data suggest that the proper range of irrigation volume per event is from 75 to 100 mL under at CT 0.9 and TDV 100 mL during the spring to summer cultivation, and the proper CT seems to be higher than 0.75 and lower than 0.90 under at 75 mL of the irrigation volume per event and TDV 70 mL during the winter cultivation. It is going to be necessary to investigate the relationship between capacitance value and substrate volumetric water content by determining the correction coefficient.

The ground station which operates the LEO satellite performs monitoring state of health of the satellite, sending the commands for the imaging mission of receiving the images during about 10 minutes of contact time. To finish the planned procedure in limited contact time, specific level of autonomy is applied in the satellite and the ground system. For example, the attitude and orbit control logic has high level of autonomy because it must be operated alone for long period without operator intervention. On the other hand, the fault management logic has relatively low level of autonomy because of that failure detection and safing operation are performed on-board, whereas failure identification and recovery are on-ground operation. The level of autonomy of the satellite affects also the ground operation. The command set for mission operation is generated by ground system. If the satellite has higher level of autonomy, some of operation currently done on-ground can be performed on-board, so the ground operation can be simplified. In this paper, we discuss the level of autonomy and propose a concept for improving the level of autonomy of an LEO satellite.

Escherichia coli O157:H7 is one of the most common foodborne pathogens responsible for outbreaks of hemorrhagic colitis, which can lead to the life-threatening hemolytic-uremic syndrome. In this study, we identified phytochemicals that specifically inhibit the expression of LEE operon in E. coli O157:H7. Among phytochemicals, diosmin decreased the adherence of E. coli O157:H7 towards Caco-2 cells in vitro (p<0.01) and its biofilm formation activity (p<0.05). Quantitative RT-PCR analysis revealed that the transcripts of Ler-regulated genes and genes related to curli production were significantly reduced in the presence of diosmin. However, diosmin does not affect bacterial viability, indicating that the resistance rate to diosmin was remarkably low. Overall, these results provide significant insights into the development of a novel anti-infective agent that is different from conventional antibiotics.

보다 저렴한 다결정 실리콘 웨이퍼를 사용한 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 발전효율개선을 위해서는 태양광스펙트럼의 표면 흡수기구를 최적화하고, 전자-정공쌍의 생성극대화 및 재결합 기구 제어를 통한 전하운바자들의 안정적인 분리와 전극으로의 효율적인 수집이 필수적인다. 현재 양질의 다결정 실리콘 웨이퍼에 기반한 다결정 실리콘 태양전지 양산공정에서 16~17% 발전효율이 이루어지고 있으며 18% 이상의 발전효율을 얻기 위해서는 보다 더 우수한 품질의 다결정 실리콘 웨이퍼가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 15.5~16.5% 대역의 평균 발전효율을 갖는 15.6 cm${\times}$15.6 cm 크기 고효율 다결정 실리콘 태양전지 전면의 전자발광(EL : electroluminescence)데이터로부터 효율기여도가 높은 위치와 상대적으로 기여도가 낮은 위치들을 선정하여 380~1050nm 파장대역의 광선속에 대해 국부적인 외부양자효율(EQE : external quantum efficiency)을 측정하고 투과전자현미경(TEM : tunneling electron microscope) 등을 활용하여 결정방향 등에 기인하는 양자효율 악화기구를 분석하였다. 결론적으로 15%대의 상대적으로 낮은 발전효율을 보이는 태양전지들은 300~600 nm 단파장 영역에서 양자효율이 상대적으로 낮은 저급한 결정성의 웨이퍼에 기인하고 16.5%이상의 높은 발전효율을 갖는 태양전지들은 단파장영역에서 높은 양자효율을 갖는 영역이 수광면적의 80~90%를 차지하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이와 더불어 15%대의 발전효율을 갖는 태양전지에서는 600~1100 nm 파장대역에서 상대적으로 악화된 양자효율을 갖는 저급한 결정성 영역이 30~40%를 차지하였으나 16.5%대역의 고효율 태양전지에서는 저급한 결정성 영역이 5~10%를 차지하여 대조를 보였다. 따라서 18%이상의 높은 발전효율을 갖는 다결정 실리콘 태양전지의 양산을 위해서는 양자효율이 우수한 양품의 웨이퍼를 기반으로 표면 texturing을 통해 평균 태양광 흡수율을 90%이상으로 개선하고, 보다 미세한 프론트 전극패턴을 통해 수광면적을 개선하고 선택적인 에미티공정 기술 등을 적용할 필요가 있음을 제안하고자 한다.

We design a polarization-independent dielectric multilayer thin-film diffraction grating for a spectral-beam-combining (SBC) system with a simple grating structure and low aspect ratio. To maintain the high quality of the SBC beam, we propose a multilayer mirror structure in which the wavefront distortion due to stress accumulation is minimized. Moreover, to prevent light absorption from contamination, an optimized design to minimize the grating thickness was performed. The optimally designed diffraction grating has 99.36% diffraction efficiency for -1st-order polarization-independent light, for incidence at the Littrow angle and 1055-nm wavelength. It is confirmed that the designed diffraction grating has sufficient process margin to secure a polarization-independent diffraction efficiency of 96% or greater.

Gamma irradiation was used to improve sanitation and quality of salted and fermented anchovy sauce. For commercial production, comparison with currently using sterilization methods, such as micro-filtration and heat treatment were also conducted. Control was prepared without irradiation and sterilization process. Microbiological, physiochemical, and sensory qualities were analyzed to observe the Quality changes during the storage. Irradiation at 5 kGy or above and micro-filtration process completely eliminated microorganisms detected in this study As irradiation dose increased, the color appeared brighter and irradiation at 5 kGy or above showed similar color L-value to that of sample treated with microfiltration. The color L, a, b-value of heat-treated sample always showed lower. The pH, salinity, and viscosity were sustained during storage. From the results of sensory evaluation, the samples treated with gamma irradiation and microfiltration obtained better scores than control or heat-sterilized. Gamma irradiation to salted and fermented anchovy sauce presented the best quality products among different sterilizing methods, especially at 5 kGy dose. Therefore, gamma irradiation can be successfully applied to commercial large scale production as a new sanitation technology with improved quality.

GaP는 가시광선 발광다이오드을 얻을 수 있는 적절한 재료중의 하나로 해당영역의 파장에 대하여 높은 양자효율을 얻을 수 있고, 깊은 준위 재결합이 없기 때문에 GaP 녹색 및 As 첨가한 GaAsP 적색 LED 에 적용할 수 있습니다. 또한, 상온에서 2.2 eV 에 해당하는 넓은 에너지 밴드갭을 가지고 있으므로, 소음이 없는 자외선 검출기에도 적합합니다. 이 물질에 대한 소자들은 기존에 GaP 기판을 사용하였습니다. 최근, GaP 와 격자상수가 비슷한 Si 기판을 활용하여 그 위에 성장하는 방법에 대한 관심이 많아졌습니다. Si는 물리적 및 화학적으로 안정하고 딱딱한 소재이며 대면적 기판을 쉽게 얻을 수 있어 전자 기기 및 대규모 집적 회로의 좋은 소재입니다. Si 와 대조적으로 GaP은 깨지기 쉬운 재료이며 GaP 기판은 Si와 같은 대면적 기판을 얻을 수 없습니다. 이러한 문제의 한 가지 해결책은 Si 기판위에 GaP 층의 성장입니다. GaP 과 Si의 조합은 현재의 광전소자 들에 더하여 더 많은 응용프로그램들을 가능하게 할 것입니다. 그러나, Si 기판위에 GaP 성장 시 삼차원적 성장 및 역위상 경계면과 같은 문제점들이 발생하므로 질이 높고 균일한 결정의 GaP 를 얻기가 어렵습니다. 따라서, Si 에 GaP 의 성장시 초기 단계를 제어하는 성장 기술이 필요합니다. 본 연구에서는, 유기금속화학증착법을 이용하여 Si 기판위에 양질의 GaP를 얻을 수 있는 최적의 성장조건을 얻고자 합니다. 실험 조건은 Si에 GaP의 에피택셜 성장의 초기 단계에 영향을 주는 V/III 비율, 성장압력, 기판방향 등을 가변하는 조건으로 진행하였습니다. V/III 비율은 100~6400, 성장 압력은 76~380 Torr로 진행하였고, Si 기판은 just(001)과 2~6도 기울어진 (001) 기판을 사용하였습니다.
