Reaction of glucose and xylose to secondary hydrolysis of concentrated acid hydrolysis was quantitatively analyzed by $^1H$-NMR spectroscopic method. Anomeric hydrogen, furan and formic acid peaks were selected for quantitative analysis. The glucose was converted to the formic acid and the levulinic acid via the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) but the xylose was converted to the fufural, which further degraded to the formic acid. The conversion to furans was slower for the glucose than the xylose. But the 5-HMF formed from the glucose was unstable in acidic aqueous medium, resulted in fast conversion to the levulinic acid and the formic acid. The furfural was relatively stable than 5-HMF at acidic aqueous medium.

마그네슘은 나트륨, 알루미늄과 함께 지구상에서 가장 풍부한 금속 중 하나로서 밀도가 약 $1.74g/cm^3$으로서 구조용 금속재료 중 가장 가볍고 우수한 비강도를 지니고 있으며, 우수한 열전도도, 전기전도도, 전자파 차폐능을 지닌다. 최근 마그네슘 및 그 합금은 항공기, 자동차, 전자제품, 기계류 및 생활용품 등에 쓰이고 있으며, 사용량 및 적용범위가 매년 급격히 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 매우 낮은 표준 환원전위와 치밀하지 못한 표면 산화막으로 인하여 부식에 대한 저항성이 매우 취약하다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 마그네슘합금의 표면처리 가운데 부식에 대한 저항성을 보완할 수 있는 방법은 활발한 마그네슘합금의 응용에 필수적이다. 이러한 마그네슘합금의 내식성을 향상시키고자 전기화학적 플라즈마 전해 산화처리 (Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation)를 하게 되는데, 아노다이징, 화성피막처리 등 과 같은 기존의 산업적 표면처리 방안으로는 불가능한 수준의 표면경도를 확보할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 두꺼운 산화피막 형성을 통해 이들 합금이 가진 기본적 취약점인 내식성 문제를 보완할 수 있는 장점이 있지만, 다공성 산화피막 형성만으로 기대할 수 있는 내식성 향상 효과가 매우 크지는 못하다. 따라서 다공성의 양극산화피막의 단점, 즉 다공성 물질로 부식성 물질의 이동을 허용할 수 있는 공간을 가지는 구조를 개선시킬 수 있는 추가적인 처리를 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 발수성 표면처리를 이용하여 다공성 구조물의 표면이 물에 대한 저항성을 가지도록 함으로써 초발수성 표면을 구현하고자 하였다. 이러한 방법은 기존의 후처리 방법인 봉공처리로는 얻을 수 없었던 다공성 구조물로의 부식성 물질의 침투를 억제할 수 있었으며, 상당한 수준의 내식성 향상 효과를 보여주었다. 또한 물에 대한 반발성은 표면에 물의 이동성을 높이는 효과를 보여주며 이로 인하여 자기세척 효과도 보여주었다.

알루미늄 자체에 대한 질화 기술의 어려움 때문에 현재까지는 AlN 분말을 이용한 소결 공정을 통하여 주요 부품의 제작이 되어 왔으며. Al 질화 기술보다는 아노다이징과 같은 표면 산화 공정 또는 도금과 같은 기술이 선호되어 왔다. 알루미늄 질화 기술이 잘 사용되지 않았던 이유는 알루미늄 표면에 2 5 nm 두께로 존재하는 치밀한 산화층의 높은 안정성 때문에 질화반응이 어렵기 때문이다. 이 알루미늄 산화물의 안정성은 질화물에 비교하여 5 배까지 높으며, 이런 경향은 온도가 높아짐에 따라 더욱 커지기 때문이다. 특히, 알루미늄의 낮은 기계적 물성을 향상시키기 위해서는 충분히 깊은 두께로 형성되어야 할 필요성이 높으나 알루미늄에 대한 질소의 고용도가 거의 없고 확산 계수가 매우 낮기 때문에 충분히 두꺼운 질화층의 형성이 어렵기 때문이다. 결국, 알루미늄 질화가 가능하기 위해서는 표면의 산화층을 없애야 하며, 알루미늄이 AlN이 되려는 속도는 $Al_2O_3$를 만드려는 속도보다 매우 느리므로, 잔존 산소량을 최소화 할 필요성이 있어서 고진공 분위기에서 처리되어야 한다. 일반적으로 알루미늄 질화를 위해서는 $10^{-6}\;torr$ 이하의 고진공도의 챔버가 필요하며 고순도의 반응 가스를 사용하여야 한다. 그러나 이러한 고진공하에서는 낮은 이온밀도 때문에 신속질화가 기존의 공정시간인 20시간동안, AlN층이 5um이하로 형성되었다. 본 연구에서, 알루미늄의 질화에 있어서, 표면층에 높은 전류를 걸어주어, 용융상태로 만들어주는 것이 좋다는 연구 결과를 얻었으며, 이를 토대로 신속질화를 위하여 전류밀도(전력량)에 따라 알루미늄 질화층의 형성 정도를 연구하였다. SEM, EDS, XRD등을 통해 Al의 표면에 플라즈마 질화를 통해 Al에 질소의 함유량이 증가하는 것을 확인하였으며 광학현미경을 통해 질화층의 두께와 표면조직을 확인하였다. Al 시편의 표면을 효과적으로 활성화할 수 있는 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 전류밀도(전력량)와 시간의 변화에 따라 질화층이 효과적으로 형성되는 조건과 시간에 따라 두께가 증가하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 신속 질화 공정을 통해 2시간 이내의 질화를 통해 40um이상의 AlN층을 형성할 수 있었다.

Formation behavior of aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) films on Al6061 alloy was studied in view of thickness, morphology and defects in the anodic films in 20 vol.% sulfuric acid solution at a constant current density of $40mA/cm^2$, using voltage-time curve, observation of anodized specimen colors and surface and cross-sectional morphologies of anodic films with anodization time. With increasing anodizing time, voltage for film formation increased exponentially after about 12 min and its increasing rate decreased after 25 min, followed by a rapid decrease of the voltage after about 28 min. Surface color of anodized specimen became darker with increasing anodizing time up to about 20 min, while it appeared to be brighter with increasing anodizing time after 20 min. The darkened and brightened surfaces with anodizing time are attributed to an increase in thickness of porous anodic oxide film and a chemical damage of the films due to heat generated by increased resistance of the film, respectively. Cross-sectional observation of AAO films revealed the formation of defects of crack shape at the metal/oxide interface after 15 min which prevents the growth of AAO films. Width and length of the crack-like defect increased with anodizing time up to 25 min of anodizing, and finally the outer part of AAO films was partly dissolved or detached after 30 min of anodizing, resulting in non-uniform surface structures of the AAO films.

On a l'habitude d'aborder les arts poétiques français du XVIe siècle en s'appuyant d'abord sur l'opposition entre Du Bellay et Sébillet, puis sur le dualisme entre partisans et opposants des poètes de la génération précédente. Mais cette approche présente le risque de manquer l'essence même de la poétique de ces nouveaux poètes. Bien qu'ils acceptent et adoptent les principales notions de la rhétorique, le but qu'ils donnent à la poésie va bien au-delà de la persuasion ou de l'émotion. Du Bellay met l'accent sur le langage poétique pour capturer le naturel, Ronsard insiste sur la représentation de la vraisemblance, et Peletier insiste sur l'importance de l'élocution qui doit révéler les qualités du poète libre ; toutes ces problématiques ont avoir avec le nouveau rôle du poète, ce que Sébillet avait manqué de voir. Pour eux, le poète est celui qui s'efforce d'approcher un monde caché à nos regards, mais qui renferme en son sein une énergie. Il est celui qui doit reproduire cette énergie cachée à travers l''imitation, en utilisant un moyen d'expression qui est intimement lié à ses propres qualités innées. Voici la raison ultime pour laquelle les poètes de la Pléïade ont voulu dans leurs arts poétiques se distancer de Sébillet. Surtout, les principes du naturel et de l'imitation exigent des poètes d'explorer en faisant intervenir des qualités et des moyens tout personnels. Ils sont la preuve d'une reconnaissance de l'importance de la créativité individuelle du poète. En ce sens, les arts poétiques de Du Bellay et de ses amis correspondent à l'émergence d'une nouvelle perspective sur la poésie et sur la valeur même de la fiction. On peut dire que les arts poétiques du XVIe siècle, en cherchant à affirmer la valeur de la langue française et en explorant une nouvelle définition du poète, ont servi de fondement aux théories littéraires qui traiteront abondamment de la créativité de la fiction.

The geochemistry of the $CO_2$-rich waters ($Pco_2\leq$about 1 atm) in NE part of the Kangwon province was investigated. The $CO_2$-rich waters can be divided to three types based on chemical compositions: Na-$HCO_3$, Ca-Na-$HCO_3$and Ca-$HCO_3$types. The water chemistry indicates that these type waters were evolved through reaction with host rocks by supply of deep-seated $CO_2$during deep circulation, and their geochemical environments in depth might have been different each other. The dissolution process of plagioclase is important in water/granite interactions and its solubility change according to reaction temperature played an important role in the determination of chemical compositions. The higher reaction temperature coincides with the lower different in solubility between albite and anorthite. It means that calcium is mainly released to the water in the lower temperature, whereas sodium in the higher temperature due to high Na/Ca ratio in plagioclase. The application of various chemical geothermometries on the $CO_2$-rich waters shows that the calculated reservoir temperature of Na-$HCO_3$type (about 15$0^{\circ}C$) is higher than those of Ca-$HCO_3$type. Therefore, we now interpret the recognized chemical difference was mainly due to the difference of reaction temperature. Considering normal thermal gradient, we can understand that the Na-$HCO_3$type was evolved from deeper crustal depth than the Ca-$HCO_3$type.

This numerical study investigates seismicity and fault slip induced by fluid injection in deep geothermal reservoir with pre-existing fractures and fault. Particle Flow Code 2D is used with additionally implemented hydro-mechanical coupled fluid flow algorithm and acoustic emission moment tensor inversion algorithm. The output of the model includes spatio-temporal evolution of induced seismicity (hypocenter locations and magnitudes) and fault deformation (failure and slip) in relation to fluid pressure distribution. The model is applied to a case of fluid injection with constant rates changing in three steps using different fluid characters, i.e. the viscosity, and different injection locations. In fractured reservoir, spatio-temporal distribution of the induced seismicity differs significantly depending on the viscosity of the fracturing fluid. In a fractured reservoir, injection of low viscosity fluid results in larger volume of induced seismicity cloud as the fluid can migrate easily to the reservoir and cause large number and magnitude of induced seismicity in the post-shut-in period. In a faulted reservoir, fault deformation (co-seismic failure and aseismic slip) can occur by a small perturbation of fracturing fluid (<0.1 MPa) can be induced when the injection location is set close to the fault. The presented numerical model technique can practically be used in geothermal industry to predict the induced seismicity pattern and magnitude distribution resulting from hydraulic stimulation of geothermal reservoirs prior to actual injection operation.

The marine microalga Pavlova viridis can grow fast and has the ability to accumulate essential nutrients for culturing marine animals, such as EPA and DHA, and it has been used as food for raring larval fish and prawn. The symbiotic relationship between the flagellate microalga Pavlova viridis and its associated bacteria was investigated. An axenic culture of P. viridis was obtained by repeated treatment of the microalga with an antibiotic cocktail. The axenic status was confirmed after sub-culturing three times in a sterile f/2 medium without an antibiotic. The axenic alga was then co-inoculated with five bacteria, arbitrarily designated as I1–I5, isolated from the alga to test the growth promotion of the algae. All bacterial strains promoted the growth of P. viridis, and bacterial isolate I3 was the most effective among the five bacteria tested. The cell number of P. viridis in the co-culture with I3 was significantly higher than that of the control culture. A sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene isolated from I3 revealed a 97% nucleotide sequence similarity to that of Citrobacter sp. The growth of strain I3 was also significantly enhanced by co-culturing with P. viridis, indicating a symbiotic relationship between the microalga and its associated bacterium. The association between the microalga and bacterium was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy.

The fusion of nano technology and information technology is essential to sustain the present growth rate and to induce new industry in this ever-growing information age. Considering Korean industry whose competitiveness lies heavily on information related technologies, this field will be inevitable for future. Nano materials can be described as novel materials whose size of elemental structure has been engineered at the nanometer scale. Materials in the nanometer size range exhibit fundamentally new behavior, as their size falls below the critical length scale associated with any given property. " Bottom-up' techniques involve manipulating individual atoms and molecules. Bottom-up process usually implies controlled or directed self assembly of atoms and molecules into nano structures. It resembles more closely the processes of biology and chemistry, where atoms and molecules come together to create structures such as crystals or living cells. Nano scale sensors are included in the electronics area since the diverse sensing mechanisms are often housed on a semiconductor substrate and usually give rise to an electronic signal. The application of nano technology to the chemical sensors should allow improvements in functionality such as gas sensing. In this presentation, we will discuss about the nano scale information materials and devices fabricated by using the organic/inorganic nano templates.
