Pt loaded porous carbon Pt/C electrode was prepared by hot pressing process to enhance the electrode performance in PAFC (phosphoric acid fuel cell). By changing the hot pressing conditions and PTFE contents, Pt/C electrodes were prepared and the electrochemical characteristics of oxygen reduction and unit-cell performance were evaluated. The optimum condition of hot press to make electrode is 360$^{\circ}C$ and 10 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Maximum performance was obtained at 30 wt% PTFE content in the catalyst layer with 80% utilization of platinum clusters. Unit-cell performance of hot pressed Pt/C electrode was 200 mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 700 ㎷ and stable performance was maintained more than 200 hr.

In acute lung injury (ALI) by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the underlying cause of infiltration and migration of neutrophils into the alveoli is considered to be from increased production of platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the pulmonary surfactant lining the alveolar lumen. In this study I partially confirmed this concept. LPS increased lung leak and the infiltration of neutrophils in the lung of rats given LPS intratracheally. The migration of neutrophils into the lung, which had caused oxidative stress, was also morphologically identified. I verified that the metabolism of the pulmonary surfactant was affected and that there was increased production of PAF in the pulmonary surfactant, both of which are considered to contribute to ALI by LPS in rats.

본 연구에서는 LPCVD, PECVD, ECR plasma CVD방법을 이용하여 x선 노광 공정용 마스크의 투과막재료로써의 실리콘질화막의 증착과 그의 물성에 관하여 실험하였다. X선 노광 마스크용 투과막의 재질로써 요구되는 적정인장응력에 가지는 증착조건으로 실리콘질화막을 1$\mu\textrm{m}$정도의 두께로 증착하였으며 이 조건에서의 물성을 SIMS, XPS, ESR, AFM, spectrophoto-metry를 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. ECR plasma CVD방법으로 얻은 실리콘 질화막은 화학양론적 조성(Si/N=0.75)에 근접하는 막을 얻을 수 있었으며 표면 평활도와 가시광투과도가 가장 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 저온 증착법인 PECVD로 얻은 막은 Si/N비가 약 0.86정도이고 산소와 수소의 불순물함량이 가장 높게 나타났다. SiH$_{2}$CI$_{2}$를 이용한 LPCVD막의 경우는 Si-rich조성을 가지지만 수소 불순물의 함량이 가장 작게 나타났고 표면거칠기는 가장 나쁘게 나타났다. 그러나 위의 방법으로 얻은 실리콘 질화막의 최대 가시광투과도는 633nm파장에서 모두 90%이상의 값을 나타내었고, 또한 표면 평활도도 0.64-2.6nm(rms)로 현재 연구되고 있는 다른 X선 투과막재료보다 월등히 우수한 결과를 보였다.

최근 산화아연이나 산화주석을 기반으로 한 산화물 박막 트랜지스터의 연구가 활발히 진행중이다. 2004년 Hosono 그룹에서 비정질 InGaZnO (IGZO) 박막을 이용한 TFT소자 제작을 보고하고 우수한 특성을 확인 후 산화물 TFT 소자기술에 대한 전 세계적인 연구개발의 발판이 마련되었다. 그러나 다성분계 화합물로 이루어진 산화물 반도체의 경우 복잡한 성분 조합과 조절이 어렵고, 장비의 제약으로 상용화에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 산화아연의 경우 증착시 쉽게 결정화가 이루어져 대면적 균일성을 확보하기 어렵고, 결정립계에 의한 이동도 저하, DC 신뢰성 저하의 문제가 발생한다. 이에 비해 산화주석의 경우 증착공정에 따라 비정질상과 결정립상을 조절할 수 있다. 하지만, 현재까지 발표된 산화주석 기반의 박막 트랜지스터는 내부 캐리어의 조절이 상대적으로 어려운 단점이 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 산화 주석기반의 박막 트랜지스터를 제작하고 이에 Zr이온을 도핑하여 소자 특성을 개선시키고 동작모드를 조절하는 연구를 진행하였다. Bottom gate 형식의 ZrSnO TFT를 제작하였고 전이 특성을 살펴본 결과 Zr의 함량이 늘어날수록 이동도는 감소하는 경향이 나타났다. 또한 Zr의 미량 함량에도 불구하고 산소결핍에 의한 캐리어 생성을 억제하여, 소자 특성을 공정조건에 따라 조절할 수 있는 가능성을 확인 했다.

Forty Viscosity data of glass bottles fabricated in a glass bottle manufacturing plant for 4 years were calculated using Lakatos model. The relationship between the glass bottle compositions and viscosities at log η of 3, 6.6, 10 and 12.3 Pa·s was analyzed. MgO that was a component of the glass bottle showed the maximum coefficient of variation of 0.89, but it gave a very small change in the viscosity. CaO that was another component of the glass bottle lowered the isokom temperature because it tended to reduce the number of non-bridging oxygen at temperature below a softening point.

We have surveyed the variation of physical and chemical characteristics of aerobic and anaerobic outdoor fermentation of cotton wastes using for oyster mushroom cultivation. The inner temperature of cotton wastes fermented aerobically covered with thin cloth and setting pallet at bottom was higher than that of anaerobic fermented cotton wastes covered with P.E vinyl and the maximum temperature was $75^{\circ}C$ at 5th day after fermentation. pH of cotton wastes fermented aerobically was increased up to 8.9 after fermentation of $9{\sim}12$ days, but that of anaerobically fermented was decreased up to 5.0. Total carbon content was decreased but total nitrogen content was increased when fermentation was in progress. Oxygen concentration of cotton wastes fermented aerobically was decreased until 6 days after fermentation but increased after 9 days of fermentation. Ammonia concentration of cotton wastes fermented aerobically and anaerobically was below 10 ppm and $20{\sim}85\;ppm$ respectively. In anaerobic condition the cotton wastes was contaminated with mold ($15{\sim}50%$), where no contamination was found in aerobic condition during spawn running stage. Yields of mushroom grown on cotton wastes aerobically fermented for $6{\sim}9$ days was $23.0{\sim}23.6\;kg$ per $3.3\;m^2$ area.

This study was carried out to investigate spatio-temporal variations of benthic environment and macrobenthic polychaete communities in Gamak Bay where excessive organic matters from untreated sewage effluents and fish and shellfish farming activities have been accumulated in certain regions. Such environmental variables as sediment composition, organic content, acid volatile sulfide and dissolved oxygen content etc. were measured and polychaete specimens were taken in September 1999 and February 2000. In September 1999, organic contents were up to three times higher in the northwestern part of the bay and the area closed to Gukdong harbor than in the rest of the bay. In particular, benthic environment of the northwestern part of the bay was extremely deteriorated by the occurrence of hypoxia and highly concentrated sulfide. Of 28 stations investigated in summer, 5 stations located in the northwestern part were azoic. In the rest of the stations, a total of 119 polychaete species were sampled with a mean density of 900 $ind./m^2$. While species richness was higher in the entrance and central part of the bay where water exchanges with open sea were relatively active, density was higher in the moderately enriched stations neighbouring Gukdong harbor and fish farms where such potential indicators of organic pollution as Aphelochaeta monilaris, Lumbrineris longifolia were largely dominant. In February 2000, a total of 81 polychaete species appeared with a mean density of 2,802 $ind./m^2$ from 12 stations sampled in winter. Azoic areas were recolonized by Capitella capitata, Pseudopolydora paucibranchiata and Dipolydora socialis which showed maximum density in the innermost station. On the other hand, the rest of the stations were dominated by Euchone alicaudata and Praxillella affinis. The configuration of the stations sampled in summer and winter on the multidimensional scaling plots reflected the position of each stations within the bay in which there were great differences in organic content, sulfide concentration and oxygen content rather than in sediment composition. Therefore, heterogeneities in polychaete community structure in Gamak Bay were primarily influenced by the degree of the disturbance depending on the position within the bay.

Kimchi contains various antioxidative components, therefore it is expected that kimchi have the inhibitory activity on aging. Among the many factor related to aging, UV radiation is the easiest way to induce skin aging. This experiment was designed to demonstrate the antioxidative activity of dietary kimchi with and without UV radiation in tissues. Lyophilized Korean cabbage kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi and buchu kimchi were used for measurement of the contents of antioxidative components. Chlorophyll contents in buchu and mustard leaf kimchi were higher than cabbage kimchi, and the contents of carotene and ascorbic acid were higher in the mustard leaf kimchi. To clarify the antioxidative activity of various kimchi diets in vivo system, hairless mice were fed the diet containing 10% lyophilized kimchi for 20 weeks. Contents of superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical in liver were not shown significant differences, however hydrogen peroxide were significantly decreased in mustard leaf and buchu kimchi diet groups. Supplementation of all kinds of kimchi diets attenuated the hepatic NDA accumulation, especially in mustard leaf and leek kimchi group. In the skin, the contents of MDA were decreased in kimchi groups compared to control group, especially the buchu kimchi diet significantly inhibited the lipid peroxidation. To elucidate the effect of kimchi diets on photooxidation, the extent of oxidative damage in liver and skin was measured after UVB radiation treatment. The contents of lipid peroxides was decreased in mustard leaf kimchi group and cabbage kimchi group compared to control, while lipid peroxidation was increased in buchu kimchi diet group. It suggests that chlorophylls and other antioxidative nutrients in the various kimchi diets are related to antioxidation or photooxidation and it might be needed further study to certify the exact mechanisms.

Changes of antioxidative components and activity of fermented tea manufactured by Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus were evaluated during the fermentation period. The ascorbic acid content in the fermented tea was relatively lower (43.62~62.84 mg%) than that of green tea (66.74 mg%) during the entire fermentation period. The tea fermented by L. bulgaricus, which had the least contact with air, showed less change in ascorbic acid content. The polyphenol content of green tea was 14.88%, whereas that of fermented tea was 11.54~14.12% and it decreased during the fermentation period. The amount of flavonoids in green tea was 7.78 mg%, whereas that of fermented tea was 4.33~7.88 mg%. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS reducing activity of green tea were 87.47% and 203.22 AEAC mg% (ascorbic acid equivalent antioxidant capacity), respectively, whereas those of fermented tea were lower than green tea. Results indicated that the antioxidative components and activity of fermented tea were lower than those of green tea during the fermentation period. But, when the sensory and hygienic quality are considered, fermented tea can be one of the higher quality tea products on the market.

Nutrient fluxes and sediment oxygen demands (SOD) were measured with intact sediment cores collected from three stations in the downstream of Nagdong River. The sediments were subjected to controlled oxic and hypoxic conditions and temperature gradients (from $10^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$) of the overlying waters in laboratory batch system. The effect of temperature and labile layer thickness of the sediment on SOD were examined. $PO_4\;^{3-}$ and $NH_4\;^+$ fluxes were elevated above $20^{\circ}C$ and large mobilities were observed when they were coupled with a hypoxic and high-temperature condition. In the well oxygenated conditions, $PO_4\;^{3-}$ fluxes were negative or negligible but $NH_4\;^+$ fluxes ranged from 1.3 mg N $m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$ to 2.3 $m^{-2}\;hr^{-1}$. Temperature quotients($Q_{10}$) of $PO_4\;^{3-}$ fluxes were 3.7 ${\sim}$ 7.3 ranges to have the most high values. $PO_4\;^{3-}$ and $NH_4\;^+$ fluxes had the logarithmic increase with temperature, while $NO_3\;^-$ was negatively absorbed to the sediment and linearly correlated with the temperature. $SiO_2$ fluxes showed no difference among oxic and hypoxic conditions and sediment texture. The nutrient fluxes would be closely correlated with pore water chemistry of sediments and activated by the top sediment layer composition such as labile organic matters or algal detritus. The ecological implications of the nutrient fluxes were discussed in terms of sources and sinks of nutrients coupled to algal productions in the Nagdong River.
