The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of sulfate (${SO_4}^{2-}$) and magnesium ($Mg^{2+}$) ions on sulfate resistance of Alkali-activated materials using Fly ash and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). In this research, 30%, 50% and 100% of GGBFS was replaced by sodium silicate modules ($Ms(SiO_2/Na_2O)$, molar ratio, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0). In order to investigate the effects of $Mg^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$, compression strength, weight change, lengh expansion of the samples were measured in 10% sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$), 10%, 5% and 2.5% magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4$), 10% magnesium nitrate ($Mg(NO_3)_2$), 10% [magnesium chloride ($MgCl_2$) + sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$)] and 10% [magnesium nitrate $(Mg(NO_3)_2$ + sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$)] solution, respectively and X-ray diffraction analysis was conducted after each experiment. As a result, when $Mg^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$ coexist, degradation of compressive strength and expansion of the sample were caused by sulfate erosion. It was found that the reaction of $Mg^{2+}$ with Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) occurred and $Ca^{2+}$ was produced. Then the Gypsum ($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$) was formed due to reaction between $Ca^{2+}$ and ${SO_4}^{2-}$, and also Magnesium hydroxide ($Mg(OH)_2$, Brucite) was produced by the reaction between $Mg^{2+}$ and $OH^-$.

Inflammation is a complex process resulting from a variety of mechanisms. Combined inhibition of the activities of enzymes involved in the process may therefore be considered more important in anti-inflammatory property of plant extracts than any single contribution. In this study, the inhibitory effects of the ethanol extracts of thirty plant foods on the activities of secretory phospholipase $A_{2}$ ($sPLA_{2}$), cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and 12-lipoxygenase (12-LOX) were examined. Several legumes, mungbean sprout and some leaf vegetables inhibited the activity of $sPLA_2$, upstream enzyme of inflammation pathway. Only soybean sprout and mungbean sprout significantly inhibited 12-LOX activity. Although most of extracts inhibited the activities of both COX-1 and COX-2, water dropwort and amaranth showed selectivity for the inhibition of COX-2 over COX-1. Especially, mungbean showed anti-inflammatory property at both upstream and downstream of inflammation pathway with relatively low $IC_{50}$ values for $sPLA_{2}$ and COX-2 enzymes. Mungbean sprout exhibited inhibitory effects on all enzymes related to early and late inflammation and soybean sprout suppressed 12-LOX and COX-2 simultaneously, although the activities of these plants were showed at relatively high concentration. Therefore, mungbean, mungbean sprout, and soybean sprout appear to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects by combined inhibition of inflammatory enzymes.

전자제품의 다양한 기능들의 융복합화 및 휴대 편의성 경향은 이제 더 이상 새로운 것이 아니다. 이러한 추세에 따라 전자부품들은 모듈화 되고, 휴대하기 용이해 지고 있다. 또한 다양한 제품 디자인에 적용하기 위해 제품에 장착되는 부품의 기구적 위치 배열의 한계 또한 제약 받고 있다. 따라서 최근의 전자부품은 모듈화 되고 있으며, 기구적 한계를 극복하기 위한 Flexible 모듈의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 또한 양산측면에서 Roll-to-Roll(R2R) 방식을 적용함으로써 생산성을 극대화 하고 있다. 이때 R2R 적용을 위해서는 제품이 굴곡 될 수 있도록 유연성이 보장되는 Bendable 전자모듈의 개발이 필수적으로 요구되고 있다. Flexible 기판은 더 이상 새로운 기술이 아니지만, Felxible 기판 내부에 칩이 내장되고, 회로가 형성되어 자체적으로 기능을 수행할 수 있도록 한 Bendable 전자모듈을 R2R 방식으로 제조하는 기술은 매우 새로운 접근이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 기술개발이 현실화 된다면, Wearable Electronics 및 Flexible Display 등 다양한 전자제품에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 그러나 이러한 제품의 상용화를 위해서는 Bendable 전자모듈에 대한 신뢰성이 확보되고, 제품으로써의 수명이 보증되어야 한다. 신규 개발되는 제품의 신뢰성 검증항목이나 수명평가 모델은 현재까지 제안되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 또한 다양한 사용 환경에서 고장(Failure) 발생을 유발하는 스트레스 인자(Stress Factor)를 도출함으로써, 가속시험 또는 신뢰성 검증을 위한 인가 스트레스를 선정할 수 있다. 그러나 이러한 고장물리를 기반으로 스트레스 인자를 해석한 결과는 아직 보고되고 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $50{\mu}m$ 두께의 Si Chip에 저항변화를 관찰하기 위한 회로를 형성한 후 폴리이미드 기판을 이용하여 Si Chip이 임베딩된 Bendable 전자모듈을 제작하였다. 전자모듈의 실사용 환경에서의 수명예측을 위한 사전단계로써 고장물리에 기반한 고장모드와 고장메카니즘을 해석하는 것이 최우선 수행되어야 하며, 이를 바탕으로 고장을 유발하는 스트레스 인자를 도출 하였다. 고장도출을 위해 시제품은 JEDEC J-STD-020C의 MSL시험, 고온가압시험, 열충격시험 및 고온저장시험을 각각 수행하였으며, 이로부터 발생된 각각의 고장유형을 분석함으로써 스트레스 인자를 도출하였다. 또한 모아레(Moire) 간섭계를 이용하여 제작된 샘플의 온도변화에 따른 변형해석을 수행하였고, 동시에 Half Symetry Model을 이용한 유한요소해석(FEA)을 수행하여 변형해석 및 스트레스 유발원인을 도출하였다. 이 결과로 부터 고장물리 기반의 고장해석과 Moire 분석 그리고 시뮬레이션 해석 결과를 바탕으로 Bendable 전자모듈의 고장유발 스트레스 인자를 해석할 수 있었다.

In this study, an assessment method was proposed to evaluate the pullout resistance between geosynthetic and backill soil by using a stress-strain relationship of the orthotropic composite material subjected to both longitudinal and vertical loadings. For this analysis friction characteristics of geosynthetic-soil and stress-strain relationships subjected to soil confined pressure were investigated by performing the laboratory pullout tests for three types of geosynthetics and performing the confined extension tests far seven types of geosynthetics having geotextiles, composite geosynthetics and geogrids. A comparison was made between unconfined an confined moduli far each geosynthetic material to quantify the soil confinement effect on stress-strain properties. A comparison was also made between the relative increase of moduli at the same strain level among the seven geosynthetic materials to demonstrate the different responses of these geosynthetic materials under soil confinement. Based on the proposed procedure, it was shown that values of the increased tensile force are applicable fur the evaluation of friction strengths between five types of geosynthetics and sands in light of the soil confinement effect.

High bandwidth RF such as Bluetooth, GPRS, EDGE, 3GSM, HSDPA is papular in the mobile phone market. A non-conducting metal coating process requires an e-beam deposition of metal, two steps of UV hard coating primer and top coating; however, it is inefficient. We navigate to the electron beam irradiation conditions(resin surface treatment conditions) in the PC/ABS resin injection process. By analyzing the experimental results, we find the optimum development conditions for the electro deposition pre-treatment process and mass production lines using the plasma generated electron beam source.

Glassy carbon can be utilized in a variety of harsh environment due to exceptional thermal stability and chemically impermeability along with scalability and low electrical resistance. In this work, we studied effects of electron(e)-beam irradiation on thermoelectric properties of the glassy carbon film. E-beam irradiation triggered local crystallization and/or amorphization of glassy carbon thin films, which was determined by a Raman spectroscopy. The structural change by e-beam irradiation leads to the change in the doping level of the glassy carbon, which can be inferred from the change of a Seebeck coefficient and an electric conductivity. The optimal power factor we obtained for the irradiated glassy carbon film was ~200% higher than that of the non-irradiated sample.

This paper investigated the characteristics of the physical properties of woven fabrics according to the yarn structure and fibre property. It was found that wicking property of woven fabrics made of sheath/core hybrid yarn were better than those of siro spun and siro-fil hybrid yarns, which was caused by platform for transport of moisture vapor by filaments on the core part of sheath core hybrid yarns. In drying property, the fabric specimen woven by PP/Tencel sheath core hybrid yarns as a warp and Coolmax/Tencel spun yarn as a weft showed quick drying property, which was caused by the sheath core hybrid yarn structure as drainage of water moisture and coolmax fibre characteristics as quick dry material. Concerning to breathability and thermal conductivity as heat transport phenomena, it was observed that breathability of fabrics woven with hybrid yarns such as sheath core and siro-fil in the warp and hi-multi filaments in the weft showed the lowest water vapor resistance, which was explained as due to for air gap in the fibres of the spun yarns to restrict the wet heat transport from perspiration vapor. Thermal conductivities of the fabrics woven with PET/Tencel siro-fil yarns in the weft and hybrid yarns such as sheath core and siro-fil in the warp revealed the highest values, which was observed as due to higher thermal conductivity of PET than PP and more contact point between fibres in the siro-fil and sheath core hybrid yarns.

In this study, joining methods with SiC powder as the joining adhesives were studied in order to avoid the residual stresses coming from CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) mismatch between substrate and joining layer. The shear strength and microstructure of joined material between SiC substrates are investigated. The commercial Hexoloy-SA (Saint-Gobain Ceramics, USA) used in this work as substrate material. The fine ${\beta}$-SiC nano-powder which the average particle size is below 30 nm, $Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$, and $SiO_2$ were used as joining adhesives. The specimens were joined with 20MPa and $1400-1900^{\circ}C$ by hot pressing in argon atmosphere. The shear test was performed to investigate the bonding strength. The cross-section of the joint was characterized by using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Bio-butanol recovery by pervaporation was performed with dense and composite polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membranes. The pervaporative behavior of the membranes was investigated as a function of operation temperature $(20{\sim}40^{\circ}C)$ and membrane thickness $(100{\sim}1{\mu}m)$ using a series of aqueous BtOH model solutions $(1{\sim}5wt%)$. With the increment of the BtOH concentration in feed, the Butanol concentration in permeate, pervaporation selectivity of Butanol over water and Butanol permeation flux increased. As the operating temperature of feed solutions increased, the BtOH concentration in permeate, pervaporation selectivity and permeation flux increased markedly. As the thickness of the PDMS membrane decreased, permeation flux increased but pervaporation selectivity decreased. These results were explained in terms of high solubility and low diffusion resistance of BtOH over water toward hydrophobic and rubbery PDMS membranes.
