To enhance the performance of a MEA (membrane electrode assembly) in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), optimum contents of Nafion ionomer as electrolyte in the 20 and 40 wt% Pt/C used in electrodes were examined. Variety characterization techniques were applied to examine optimum Nafion contents: cell performance test, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). According to Pt wt% supported on carbon support, it has been observed that polarization, ohmic, and mass transfer resistances were changed so that the cell performance was significantly dependent on the content of Nafion ionomer. Optimum Nafion ionomer contents in the 20 wt% Pt/C and 40 wt% Pt/C were showed 35 wt% and 20 wt%, respectively. This is due to different surface area of the Pt/C catalyst, and formation of triple phase boundary seems to be affected by the Nafion contents.

농업 유전공학 기술은 생산성 향상, 환경보전, 식품의 안정성 및 품질향상에 기여함은 물론 농업의 경쟁력을 높일 수 있는 유일한 대안으로 인식되고 있다. 전 세계적으로 유전자 재조합 작물의 경작지는 2000년 한해동안 지난해 같은 기간에 비해 11% 증가하였으며 이는 1996년 대비 25배 증가하였고, 선진국과 개발도상국은 각각 2%, 51% 1999년 대비 증가하였다. 1983년 유전자 재조합에 의한 식물의 형질전환이 성공한 뒤 종묘업계는 형질전환 종자개발과 보급에 열중하고 있으며 종자시장에 형질전화 품종이 차지하는 비율은 2000년 30억 달러에서 2010년이면 전체의 60%인 200억 달러에 이를 것으로 전망된다. 1995년 제초제 저항성 콩(라운드업레디콩)이 농가에 보급된 이후 2000년 형질전환품종 재배면적이 3990만 ha에 이르렀고 1997년 미국과 캐나다는 옥수수, 대두, 면화, 감자, 유채 등의 형질전환 품종 재배로 각각 3억1400만 달러, 5300만 달러를 벌어들였음. 형질전환 품종의 보급 증가속도는 소비자들의 GMO에 대한 거부반응으로 다소 주춤한 상태이다. 그러나 최근 종자회사들은 생태계 위해성 논란을 피해갈 수 있는 연구로 이러한 상황을 돌파하려 하고 있다. 우리나라에서도 유전자변형 생물체에 관한 법률이 제정되었으며 많은 대학과 연구소에서 형질전환 연구가 꾸준히 이루어지고 있고 최근 제초제 저항성 벼와 바이러스 저항성 감자가 개발돼 GMO 안정성 점검에 들어가 있고, 살충성 배추, 혈압강하 토마토, 지방산 강화 들깨, 병저항성 고추 등도 실험실과 포장에서 재배되고 있다. 이르면 4-5년 뒤 형질전환 작물들이 농가에 보급될 전망이다. 이처럼 체크 툴은 Firewall의 수비능력을 보강하는 위치에 있다고 생각할 수 있다.다. 4 장에서는 3장에서 제기한 각각의 문제점에 대해 RAD 의 관점에 비추어 e-business 시스템의 단기개발을 실현하기 위한 고려사항이나 조건 해결책을 제안한다. 본 논문이 지금부터 e-business 를 시작하려고 하는 분, e-business 시스템의 개발을 시작하려고 하는 분께 단기간의 e-business 실현을 위한 하나의 지침이 된다면 다행이겠다.formable template is used to optimize the matching.

As a result, conventional NN and CNN were available for interpolation of sampling data. Moreover, when nonlinear intensity is not so large under the field condition of small slope, interpolation performance of CNN was a little not so better than NN. However, when nonlinear intensity is large under the field condition of

Water deficit stress during early soybean[Glycine max (L.) Merrill] growth stage is the most important environmental factor limiting productivity. Eight soybean genotypes were grown in replicated pot under well-watered(control: near 0 bar) and drought(-5 and -10 bars) conditions. Soybean plants were subject to drought stress for 20 days at 10 days after seed emergence. Significant genotypic variation was observed for leaf area(LA) and total dry weight (TDW). At the end of water stress, LA and TDW of Hwanggeumkong and Paldalkong, which had large LA in the non-stressed control, were more sensitive to water stress than those of the other cultivars, while those of Suwon 93 with small LA were insensitive. Leaf proline and abscisic acid(ABA) contents increased after water stress. However, changes in proline and ABA contents were not consistently related to the changes in LA as affected by water stress. As the soil water potential decreased, the yield reduction of Hodgson 78 showing large decrease in LA and TDW in response to water deficit was severe when compared to that of Baegunkong with small decrease in LA and TDW. Relatively greater yield stability and higher average yield across soil water potential were observed in Baegunkong. Of specific interest was the small reduction in yield of Paldalkong in spite of its significant decrease in LA and TDW.

박막형 태양전지에 관한 연구는 1954년 D.C. Reynolds 가 단결정 CdS 에서 광기전력을 발견하면서부터 시작되었다. 고효율 단결정 규소 태양전지가 간편하게 제작되고 박막형 태양전지의 수명문제가 대두되어 한때는 연구가 중단되어지기도 하였으나, 에너지 문제가 심각해지면서 값이 저렴하고 넓은 면적에 쉽게 실용화 할 수 있는 박막형 태양전지에 많은 관심을 가지게 되었다. 박막형 태양전지에 사용되는 CdS는 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체로서 에너지금지대폭이 2.42eV인 직접천이형 n-type 반도체로서 대부분의 태양광을 통과시킬 수 있으며 가시광선을 잘 투과시키고 낮은 비저항으로서 광흡수층인 CdTe/$CuInSe_2$ 등과 같이 태양전지의 광투과층(윈도레이어)으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 이종접합 박막형 태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위해선 윈도레이어 재료인 CdS 박막의 낮은 전기 비저항치와 높은 광 투과도 값이 요구되어지고 있다. CdS 박막의 제작방법으로는 spray pyrolysis법, 스크린프린팅, 소결법, puttering법, 전착법, CBD(chemical bath deposition)법 및 진공증착법 등의 여러 가지 방법들이 보고되었다. 이 중 sputtering의 경우, 다른 방법들에서는 얻기 어려운 매우 얇은 두께의 박막 증착이 가능하며, 균일성 또한 우수하다. 또한 대면적화가 용이하여 양산화 기술로는 다른 제조 방법들에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 sputtering에 의해 증착한 CdS의 박막에 광투과도 등의 향상을 위하여 CMP( chemical mechanical polishing) 공정을 적용하여 표면 특성을 개선하고자 하였다. 그 기초적인 자료로서 CdS 박막의 CMP 공정 조건에 따른 연마율과 비균일도, 표면 특성 등을 ellipsometer, AFM(atomic force microscopy) 및 SEM(scanning electron microscope) 등을 활용 하여 분석하였다.

In this paper a new structure of BJT is proposed to improve the saturation voltage characteristics so that it can be used to the low power switching devices. In the case of the conventional finger transistor(FT), the saturation voltage is so high that it dose not satisfy the requirements for the low power device. So the other multi base island transistor(MBIT) is suggested and its saturation voltage is so low in the region of low current that it satisfy the requirement for the low power switching devices, but in region of the high current the saturation voltage tends to increase so that it does not satisfy the requirements for the low power switching devices. So in this paper a new structure of folded back electrode transistor(FBET) is proposed and the characteristics is investigated. When the new structure is applied the emitter area is increased by 35 % so the saturation voltage is reduced by 30 % at the low current region and the contact area is increased by 92 % so the saturation voltage is reduced by totally f % at the high current region with the reduction of 30 % by the increase of the emitter area and the reduction of 7 % by the increase of the emitter contact area.

A PLT(10) thin film has been deposited on $Pt/TiO_2/SiO_2/Si$ substrate by sol-gel method, and its switching characteristics have been investigated with various top electrode areas, input pulse voltages and loan resistances. As the external input pulse voltage increases from 2V to 5V, the switching time decreases from $0.49{\mu}s$ to $0.12{\mu}s$. The activation energy ($E_a$) obtained from the relations between the switching time and the applied pulse voltage is evaluated as 209kV/cm. The switched charge densities at 5V obtained from the hysteresis loop and the polarization switching are $11.69{\mu}C/cm^2$ and $13.02{\mu}C/cm^2$, respectively, which agree relatively well with each other and show the difference of 10%. When the top electrode area increases from TEX>$3.14{\times}10^{-4}cm^2$ to $5.03{\times}10^{-3}cm^2$ and the load resistance increases from 50${\Omega}$ to 3.3$k{\Omega}$, the switching time increases from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $1.88{\mu}s$ and from $0.12{\mu}s$ to $9.7{\mu}s$, respectively. These switching characteristics indicate that PLT(10) thin film can be well applied in nonvolatile memory devices.

We have studied local magnetization reversal and magnetic properties induced by Laser annealing method in the strip-patterned Ta/NiFe/FeMn/Ta and Ta/NiFe/FeMn/NiFe/Ta multilayers fabricated by ion-beam deposition. The films were exposed to the emission of the DPSS (Diode Pumped Solid State, Nd:YAG) laser under 600 G. The laser beam intensity increased up to 440 mW. When the laser illuminated the patterned film with the power of above 200 m W, the intensity of MR peak located in +87 Oe shrunk. A new MR peak was generated at -63 Oe. When the laser power is 400 mW, the location of positive MR peak(H$\sub$ex/) was changed slightly from +87 Oe to +76 Oe, and the MR ratio was decreased from 0.9% to 0.1 %. On the other hand, the new (negative) MR peak shifted from -63 Oe to -80 Oe, with the MR ratio increased up to 0.3%. As the illuminated area expanded, the intensity of opposite MR peak increased and it of negative MR peak decreased. This proved that the local reversal of exchange biasing should be realized by laser annealing.

Dipole-dipole resistivity and ground penetrating radar(GPR) surveys were performed on an abandoned landfill site filled with asbestos containing material. The main purpose of the study was to estimate spatial extension and volume of the landfill for evaluting the cost for developing appropriate remedial alternatives. Assuming that the bedrock is within 10 m depth, dipole spacings of 2, 2.5 and 5m were set for six survey lines for resistivity measurements. For More detailed information, GPR suvey using 225 Mhz antenna was carried out for twelve survey lines for the shallower information. DC resistivity structures showed few tens ~ hundreds ohm-m for the landfill or alluvial laver, and 1,000~ 5,000 ohm-m for the bedrock. The depth to bedrock is found out to be approximately 5m. GPR survey results represented very clear reflection and/or diffraction events from the boundaries as well as from the blocky construction wastes. With high-resolution GPR survey, depth of the bedrock was resolved up to 2m, which in turn, could be a good indicator for estimating the volume of the landfill. Those depths of bedrock were confirmed by backhoe excavation data for 13 sites. The total area and volume of the landfill were to be approximately 3,953 .$m^2$ and 4,033 $m^3$, respectively.

Although thermoset carbon fiber composite bipolar plates not only have high mechanical properties but also high corrosion resistance in acid environment, high manufacturing cost and low bulk electrical conductivity are the biggest obstacle to overcome. In this research, thermoplastic polymer is employed for the matrix of carbon composite bipolar plate to increase both the manufacturing productivity and bulk electric conductivity of the bipolar plate. In order to increase the electrical conductivity and strength, plain type carbon fabric rather than chopped or unidirectional fibers is used. Also nano particles are embedded in the thermoplastic matrix to increase the bulk resistance of the bipolar plate. The area specific resistance and the mechanical strength of the developed bipolar plate are measured with respect to the environmental temperature and stack compaction pressure.

The electrical contact resistance between the bipolar plate (BP) and the carbon felt electrode (CFE), which are in contact by the stack clamping pressure, has a great impact on the stack efficiency because of the relatively low clamping pressure of the vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) stack. In this study, a polyethylene (PE) composite-CFE hybrid bipolar plate structure is developed through a local heat welding process to reduce such contact resistance and improve cell performance. The PE matrix of the carbon fiber composite BP is locally melted to create a direct contact structure between the carbon fibers of CFE and the carbon fibers of BP, thereby reducing the electrical contact resistance. Area specific resistance (ASR) and gas permeability are measured to evaluate the performance of the PE composite-CFE hybrid bipolar plate. In addition, an acid aging test is performed to measure stack reliability. Finally, a VFRB unit cell charge/discharge test is performed to compare and analyze the performance of the developed PE composite-CFE hybrid BP and the conventional BP.
