탄소나노튜브(CNT)를 이용한 초소형 X선 튜브는 근접 암치료, 비파괴 X선 영상 장치, 휴대용 X선 분광계 등에서 X선 발생소스로 많이 연구되고 있다. 2극형 CNT 에미터의 경우 구조가 단순하여 초소형 X선 튜브에 쉽게 장착할 수 있지만 아노드의 전압과 전류가 연동되기 때문에 튜브의 조작성이 제한적이다. 3극형은 상대적으로 복잡한 구조이고, CNT에서 방출된 전자가 게이트 전극으로 흐르는 누설 전류 그리고 절연체와 충돌하여 차징을 발생시킬 수 있기 때문에 직경이 좁은 초소형 X선 튜브에 구현하기가 쉽지 않다. 하지만 초소형 X선 튜브를 다양한 X선 장치에 응용하기 위해서는 아노드 전압과 전류의 독립된 조작이 가능한 3극형 CNT 에미터가 반드시 구현되어야 한다. 본 발표에서는 전자빔의 아노드 집속을 강화하고 절연체에서의 차징을 줄이는 포커싱 기능의 게이트(FFG) 구조를 제안하였고. 이를 적용하여 초소형 X선 튜브들을 제작하고, 분석하였다. FFG 구조가 성공적으로 적용된 초소형 X선 튜브는 게이트 누설 전류 없이 뛰어난 전류 및 X선 방출 특성을 보였다. 이와는 달리, 몇몇 초소형 X선 튜브들에서는 게이트 누설 전류가 나타났고, 아노드 전압에 의한 게이트 전압 상승이 발생하여 불안정한 구동 특성을 보였다. 초소형 X선 튜브를 밀봉하지 않고 진공 챔버에서 실험한 결과, 유도된 게이트 전압은 상당한 시간이 흐르거나 진공챔버에 공기를 주입하고 다시 진공상태로 만들면 유도전압이 제거되는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 결론적으로 CNT에서 방출된 전자빔이 정상궤도를 벗어나 게이트 누설전류와 차징에 의한 게이트 유도전압을 발생시키면 초소형 X선 튜브가 불안정한 구동을 하고, 결국 튜브의 심각한 결함으로 나타나게 된다. 즉, 게이트 누설 전류와 유도된 게이트 전압은 3극형 CNT 에미터가 장착된 초소형 X선 튜브의 디자인과 제작에 있어서 성공 기준이 될 수 있다.

In this study, the quality characteristics of different drying methods of Aronia melanocarpa, which contains large amounts of bioactive substances, were investigated for the improvement of their practical use. During the drying period, the weight reduction was the highest with vacuum freeze drying (81.6%). The water content was reduced to the maximum level when vacuum freeze-drying was used. With regard to the color value measurement results, there were no significant differences in the $L^*$ value. Values of $a^*$ and $b^*$ were increased in vacuum freeze drying and cold air drying, but decreased in hot air drying. The hardness was increased dramatically after 36 hours of hot air drying, while with cold air drying, it increased slowly until 132 hr and increased rapidly after 132 hr. The dried yield was the highest with cold air drying (24.2%). As for the general component analysis results of Aronia melanocarpa, the moisture content was the lowest, and the crude protein and crude fat contents were the highest with vacuum freeze drying. No difference in pH value was shown among the dried Aronia melanocarpa obtained from the different drying methods, but the sugar content was the highest with vacuum freeze drying. The mineral content was the highest with cold air drying, and K, Ca, Mg, and Na were the major minerals. The free sugar content of dried Aronia melanocarpa was found to be 5.92~20.59 g/100 g, and the highest free sugar content was found with vaccum freeze drying.

To investigate biological activities in Aronia melanocarpa various drying methods were employed such as vacuum freeze drying, hot air drying and cold air drying. DPPH radical scavenging activity and ABTS radical scavenging activity of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa was higher than hot and cold air dried Aronia melanocarpa. Vacuum freeze drying method showed the greatest contents of total phenol (15.34 g GAE/100 g), flavonoid (3.10 g GE/100 g) and tannin (2.46 g TE/100 g). Total anthocyanin content decreased to 163.52 mg C3G/100 g and 50.15 mg C3G/100 g for hot and cold air drying, respectively. Vacuum freeze-dried method increased the total anthocyanin content (743.09 mg C3G/100 g) when compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa (163.52 mg C3G/100 g). Total proanthocyanidin content of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa has increased to 6.21 g CE/100 g more than eight times compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa (0.71 g CE/100 g). Chlorogenic acid and neochlorogenic acid content of vacuum freeze dried Aronia melanocarpa were higher than hot air dried and cold air dried Aronia melanocarpa, increasing about three times compared with fresh Aronia melanocarpa. These results suggested that vacuum freeze drying is optimal drying method to enhance biological activities in Aronia melanocarpa.

This paper depicts the computational results for the axisymmetric subsonic/sonic ejector systems with a second throat. The numerical simulations are based on a fully implicit finite volume scheme of the compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations in a domain that extends from the stagnation chamber to the ejector diffuser exit. In order to obtain practical design factors for the subsonic/sonic ejector systems which are applicable to industrial vacuum pumps, the ejector throat area, the mixing section configuration, and the ejector throat length are changed in computations. For the subsonic/sonic ejector systems operating in the range of low operation pressure ratios, the effects of the design factors on the vacuum performance of the secondary chamber are discussed.

이트리아 안정화 지그코니아(Yttria-stabilized zirconia, YSZ)는 이트리아의 첨가에 의해 지르코니아에 생성된 산소 빈자리(oxygen vacancy)로 $O^{2-}$ 이온이 전도성을 가지게 되는 특징이 알려지면서 최근 고체산화물 연료전지연구에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다.[1] YSZ를 기반으로한 고체산화물 연료전지의 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 YSZ 내에서의 산소교환 메카니즘을 이해하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 $^{18}O2$ 추적 기체(tracer gas) 이용하여 확산된 YSZ박막에서의 산소 확산 거동을 초미세이차이온질량분석기(Nano Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, Nano SIMS)를 이용하여 조사하였다. Nano SIMS는 작은 입사 이온빔의 크기를 구현할 수 있고, 다중검출기를 이용하여 높은 질량분해능으로 간섭없이 산소동위원소를 동시에 모두 검출할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 발표에서는 Nano SIMS를 이용한 YSZ박막에서의 산소 거동 평가 결과를 상세하게 보일 것이다.

Vacuum chambers have wide application for a variety of purposes such as material processing, vacuum gauge calibration, etc. As the dynamic pressure generated in such chamber is non-uniform, in many industrial as well as research processes, it is vital to know the non-uniform gas distribution with associated gas flow regimes and the ways of minimizing these pressure non-uniformities. In the present work, the behavior of gas flow in a vacuum chamber, during continuous gas flow, is described in the pressure range 0.1-133 Pa and the effect of baffle plate in minimizing the pressure non-uniformities is investigated. It was observed that maximum deviations in the pressure occur near the gas inlet point and that the effect of baffle plate in minimizing the pressure non-uniformities is more obvious in the transitional flow regime.

Wireless communication for train control is an active research field. The World Railway Federation in Europe developed GSM-R, which integrates the GSM-based voice call standard and train control signals. To provide advanced railway services, the LTE-R wireless communication system was developed in Korea for passenger services and wireless image information required by the railroad industry. Recently, direct communication technology for autonomous train driving has been studied to decrease the driving interval, and research is being conducted on a hyperloop train control system that runs at a maximum speed of 1,220km/h in a subvacuum environment of 0.001 atmosphere. In this paper, we summarize the trends in wireless communication technologies used for GSM-R/LTE-R railway systems. For future wireless communication in railway systems, we discuss autonomous train driving and the hyperloop railway control system, define wireless communication technology, and discuss trends in domestic and foreign technologies.
