The striped fruit fly, Bactrocera scutellata, infests pumpkin flowers. Males are attracted to raspberry ketone (RK) and feed the attractant. This study was conducted to determine essential techniques to develop a male annihilation technique (MAT) of this insect pest. Effective attractants were screened in laboratory and field conditions. Both males and females were responsive to methyl eugenol (ME) in laboratory, though no flies were attracted to ME traps in field conditions. In contrast, cuelure (CL), which is a chemical derivative of RK, was effective to attract males of B. scutellata in both laboratory and field conditions. However, RK was equivalent or superior to CL when they were formulated in a form of wax dispenser. A pyrethroid insecticide along with the attractant was effective to attract and kill B. scutellata. Funnel trap was useful for MAT to confirm and count dead flies. These results indicate that MAT against B. scutellata consists of RK and bifenthrin in a wax type formulation, which is installed to a funnel type of trap. These essential factors would be useful to develop MAT applicable to control B. scutellata in fields.

Viscosity measurements were conducted to investigate the rheological characteristics of aluminized paraffin wax fuel. To identify the effect of size and contents of the aluminum particles on the variation of viscosity, samples of nano- and micro- sized aluminum particles with an average particle size of 100 nm and $8{\mu}m$ were prepared and measured using a rheometer. The observed viscosity increment patterns of the nano- and micro-sized particles were vey different, and particularly above 10 wt%, where a relatively low overall regression rate is expected for nano- content fuel. It is possible that this phenomenon could cause the reduced entrainment regression rate.

최근 발수 특성은 자동차 표면, 건축 구조물, 가전제품 및 모바일 기기 등 여러 분야에서 사용되고 점차 그 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 발수성의 표면은 연 잎이나 곤충의 날개, 도마뱀의 발바닥 등 자연계의 여러 곳에서 관찰 할 수 있다. 특히 연 잎의 표면에서 나타나는 초발수 특성이 마이크로와 나노 크기의 돌기 구조와 표피 왁스 성분에 기인한다는 것이 밝혀지면서 이를 응용한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 물리적인 표면처리로 마이크로와 나노 구조물을 형성하고 그 위에 표면에너지를 낮출 수 있는 물질을 증착하여, 발수 특성을 가지는 표면을 개발하였다. 알루미늄 표면에 마이크로 크기의 알루미나(Al2O3) 분말을 이용한 블라스트(blast) 공정으로 마이크로 구조를 형성하고, 선형 이온 소스(LIS)를 이용한 Ar 이온 빔 에칭으로 나노 구조를 형성하였다. FE-SEM 분석을 통해 수~수십 마이크로 구조 위에 나노 크기의 구조가 형성 된 것을 관찰하였다. 마이크로와 나노 구조가 형성된 알루미늄의 표면에너지를 낮추기 위해 trimethylsilane (TMS) 및 Ar을 이용한 플라즈마처리로 표면에 기능성 코팅막을 형성하였다. 그 결과 TMS처리 전에 비해 표면에너지가 99.75 mJ/m2에서 9.05 mJ/m2으로 급격히 낮아지고 접촉각이 $54^{\circ}$에서 $123^{\circ}$로 향상되었다.

Several types of mesoporous silica-alumina adsorbents with varied $SiO_2/Al_2O_3$ ratios were prepared by spray pyrolysis and were used for the purification of the anticancer agent paclitaxel. When $S_{0.5}A_{0.5}$ (Silica/Alumina molar ratio = 0.5/0.5) was used, the highest purity (~27%) and yield (~63%) of paclitaxel were obtained from adsorbent treatment and hexane precipitation. Removal of impurities was confirmed by TGA analysis of the organic substances that were adsorbed to the adsorbent.

현재 상용화되고 있는 치과용 76.5% Pd-11.2% Cu-7.2% GarP 합금의 왁스모형을 원심주조기로 주조하여, 임상조건의 탈개스 및 세라믹 소성처리를 하였다. 이에따른 각각의 시편에 대해 미세조직의 변화를 주사전자현미경 및 EDS로 관찰하고, 최종적인 투과전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 각 조건의 편석, 결정립계 및 석출물부위를 주사전자현미경과 EDS 고 관찰한 결과, 이원계 Pd-GA합금의 안정상들에 해당하는 정량적인 조성비는, 단지 상대적으로 Ga의 성분비만 높게 감지되었다. 특히, 세라믹소성 처리후 미세조직에서 형성된 석출물에 근접한 기지조직일수록 Ga의 농도가 상대적으로 줄어든 고갈현상을 확인하엿다. 또한 투과전자현미경의 제한시야회절도형 분석결과, 주조 및 탈개스처리 후 미세조직의 편석부위에서는 GA의 가장 큰 강도를 보였고, 또 Ga과 Pd 고용체 사이에 미세한 판상의 석출물에 기인하는 줄무늬를 관찰하였다. 한편, 세라믹소성처리후 미세조직의 석출물은 금속간화합물 Pd2Ga으로 밝혀졌으며, 기지조직은 <100> 방향을 따라 약 25nm의 폭을 가지는 미세한 섬유상 형태의 소위 "tweed 조직'을 형성하였다.성하였다.

최근 자연모사를 이용한 연구가 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 특히 연 잎의 표면에서 나타나는 초발수 특성이 마이크로 나노 크기의 구조와 표면에너지를 제어하는 에피큐티클 왁스에 기인하다는 것이 밝혀지면서 이를 응용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 알루미늄 표면처리로 마이크로와 나노 구조물을 형성하고 그 위에 발수 특성을 가진 물질을 증착하여, 발수성을 가지는 표면을 개발하였다. 알루미늄 표면에 마이크로 크기의 알루미나($Al_2O_3$) 분말을 이용한 블라스트(blast) 공정으로 표면에 마이크로 구조를 형성하고, Linear Ion Source(LIS)를 적용한 Ar 이온빔 에칭으로 나노 구조를 형성하였다.

In this study, the thermal and rheological characteristics of a 10 wt.% addition of aluminum particles and the effect of the particle size were investigated to qualitatively analyze the paraffin fuel entrainment regression rate. The results revealed that the addition of aluminum particles and their relative particle size affected the rheological characteristics, rather than the thermal characteristics. Moreover, it was found that the variation of thermal properties had a minor effect on the entrainment regression rate, in comparison to the variation in rheological properties.

In order to find the best compositions of the dimethomorph formulation containing fatty alcohol ethoxylate surfactants as an activator adjuvant and recommend the good management way of the formulations to allow an intended uptake rate, factors affecting foliar uptake of active ingredients into cucumber were investigated and compared each other. Among tested, the most important factors were air temperature in which plants were located after spraying of aqueous formulations containing activator adjuvant, and deposit of wax on the leaf surface of cucumber. Dimethomorph uptake was found to be increased by sunlight. When aqueous formulations had long-polyethoxylated fatty alcohol surfactants, the relative humidity of the room in which the plants were located after spraying with the formulations did not severely influence the foliar uptake. Maintaining a mild temperature and avoiding too strong sunlight after spraying with dimethomorph formulations were found to be resonable management strategies.

Emulsion body cleansing systems containing high levels of occlusives have recently been developed such as using insoluble crystalline hydroxy waxes, insoluble crystalline surfactant structures, encapsulated particles and smectite clay. In this study, moisturizing effect of various occlusives such as petrolatum and triglycerides was researched in emulsion body cleansing systems. The experiment shows that petrolatum has less moisturizing capacity in emulsion body cleansing systems than triglycerides. In "leave-on" products such as lotion and cream formulations, the moisturizing capacity of petrolatum is more than that of triglycerides, but in "wash-off" emulsion body cleanser of this research, different results appeared. Emulsion body cleansing systems contained high levels of anionic and amphoteric surfactants, therefore petrolatum has more solubility and less deposited amount into the skin during washing process than triglycerides.

Paraffin wax is attracting many attentions for promising solid fuel of hybrid rocket because of its higher regression than other fuels. However, even with paraffin fuel combustion, unsteady low-frequency oscillation of combustion pressure is still observed. And, this is related to the formation of liquid layer and the entrainment of fuel droplets entering the axial combustion gas flow. This study investigates the effect of additional combustion of fuel droplets on the occurrence of low-frequency combustion instability. On the other hand, the formation of fuel droplets depends on Weber Number (the ratio of the inertial force to the surface tension of the liquid) and Reynolds Number of the oxidizer flow. Therefore, a laboratory-scale hybrid rocket was used to monitor the occurrence of combustion instability while changing We number. A series of combustion tests were conducted to control We number by changing the oxidizer flow rate or adding LDPE (low density polyethylene) to base fuel. In the results, it was confirmed that there is a critical We number above which the low-frequency combustion instability occurs.
