In plant industry, sulfur storage tank is made of steel and annular plate is connected with concrete foundation of ring wall type by anchor bolt. Due to keep sulfur at high temperature in tank by coil, sulfur storage tank is expanded larger than another tank stores fluid at room temperature. Generally, structural design of tank foundation is performed analysis with loading of temperature gradient between inner and outer surface, this method can't consider the phenomenon that load is intensively transferred to concrete foundation at anchor bolt. This means that temperature load is underestimated and causes crack of concrete near anchor bolt. In this study, evaluation formula considering temperature load transfer mechanism through anchor bolt is proposed and load acting on concrete foundation is rationally decided. For this purpose, it is analyzed variation of thermal load per various anchor bolt number using finite element model including tank annular plate and anchor bolt. Solution is proposed as specified term combining result of analysis and theoretical solution for evaluating load transferred by anchor bolt. For confirmation of validation of proposed formula, it is applied in design of sulfur storage tank at plant site, it shows that the formula can be practically applied.

An amylase that hydrolyzes starch into maltopentaose as a main product was found in the culture supernatant of a strain of Bacillus megaterium KSM B-404 isolated from local soil. The enzyme was purified 129-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Toyopearl and Superdex 75 HR 10/30 column using a FPLC system. The molecular weight of the amylase was determined as about 68 kDa by using SDS-PAGE. Optimum pH and temperature of amylase were found to be $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0~7.0, respectively. The enzyme was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ by addition of $Ca^{2+}$ and its pH stability was in the range of 6.0~10.0. The activity of enzyme was inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$ $Hg^{2+}$ , and $Fe^{3+}$ and maintained by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ . EDTA and pCMB also showed inhibitory effect to the enzyme. TLC and HPLC analysis of the products of the enzyme reaction showed the presence of maltopentaose(52%), maltotriose (25%), maltose (11%), glucose, and maltotetraose in the starch hydrolysates.

Container port development in Korea seems to be based on the policy of balanced regional development rather than demand and supply theory. The problem of overcapacity and low utilization faced by several ports such as Kwangyang, Ulsan New Port and Phohang Youngil New Port can back up this. Furthermore as some ports are located closely sharing the same domestic hinterland the revitalization of the ports is not easy resulting in wasting resources with both regional and national aspect. This study, therefore, aims at providing an empirical results for the container port classification of the 5 ports such as Busan, Kwangyang, Incheon, Pyeongtaek and Ulsan. For this several time series data for the ports such as transshipment containers, import and export containers, origin and destination countries, and local origin and destination are analysed. Based on the results of the analysis the 5 container ports are classified together with their practical roles, and the functional overlap of the port including Phohang was analysed.

III-V반도체 태양전지는 다양한 에너지 밴드갭을 만들 수 있으며 다중접합 태양전지의 경우 흡수 전류가 커져 효율이 증가한다. 태양전지의 효율의 증가는 태양광 발전시스템의 발전 단가를 낮추는 중요한 요인이다. 우리는 효율이 높은 III-V 태양전지를 제작하기 위해 일차적으로 Ge기판 위에 GaAs를 성장하고자 한다. Ge기판과 GaAs의 격자상수는 0.07%차이로 거의 일치하나 물질의 열팽창계수가 다르고 비극성인 Ge기판 위에 극성인 GaAs를 성장 시 위상불일치(Anti Phase Domain) 나타난다. 위상불일치 현상을 줄이기 위해 성장 시 온도와 V/III비율, 성장두께 등을 달리하여 성장한다. 표면의 상태가 좋아질수록 위상불일치 현상이 작으며 단일성장 보다 두 단계 과정으로 성장 했을 때 표면의 상태가 더 좋은 결과를 바탕으로[1], 20nm 이하로 얇게 seed층을 성장하고 그 위에 두꺼운 버퍼층을 성장하는 두 단계로 진행하였다. seed층의 성장온도는 $400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$, V/III 비율을 3.5~30으로 다양하게 바꿔가면서 표면의 상태를 비교하였다. 이때 버퍼층의 성장 온도와 V/III 비율은 $680^{\circ}C$, 192으로 일정하게 유지하였다. 표면은 SEM과 AFM을 통해 분석하였으며 결정질의 상태는 XRD 장비(Panalytical사)로 분석하고 광학적 특성은 LTPL(Accent Optical Technologies사)로 측정하였다. 실험의 결과는 seed층의 온도가 낮고 V/III 비율이 낮으며 성장률이 높았을 때 표면상태가 좋은 반면 버퍼층은 온도가 높고 V/III 비율이 높으며 성장률이 낮을 때 표면상태가 좋았다. seed층을 $450^{\circ}C$온도에서 V/III 비율이 3.5이고 성장률이 버퍼층에 비교하여 크게 하여 성장 했을 때 표면 거칠기가 3.75nm로 작아 표면의 상태가 좋음을 확인할 수 있었다. 두 단계 성장 시 표면의 상태는 seed층의 조건에 따라 결정됨을 알 수 있었다. 표면상태가 좋았을 때 결정상태 역시 좋았으며 성장률이 바뀜에 따라 반치폭이 42~45 arcsec의 값을 나타내었다. 광학적 특성은 10K에서 1.1512eV 밴드갭 에너지를 가지고 있어 양질의 GaAs가 성장됨을 알 수 있다.

Several isolates were collected from apple, pepper, strawberry, cucumber and tomato having typical gray mold symptoms. All the isolates were identified as Botrytis cinerea by using morphological characteristics and PCR-RFLP method. It was difficult to analyze the phylogenetic relationship of these isolates by using ITS region, HSP60 and G3PDH because these genes were highly homologous in their nucleotide in inter-species of B. cinerea and intra-species of genus Botrytis. However, phylogenetic analysis using combined sequences (RPB2, HSP60 and G3PDH genes) clearly showed that all isolate of B. cinerea were different from Botrytis spp. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that strawberry isolate was distantly related to apple, pepper, cucumber and tomato isolates that were closely related to each other in nucleotide level.

The modification of biodegradable polycaprolactone was accomplished by reactive extrusion with various contents of free radical initiator. Reaction conditions were in the temperature range of $130^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ with initiator contents of 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%. To characterize the modified polycaprolactone (PCL), molecular weight was measured by gel permeation chromatography(GPC) and thermal, mechanical and rheological properties as well as biodegradability were measured. The modified PCL (MPCL) with 1% of initiator showed ca. 20% increase in crystallinity and ca. 50% increase in tensile modulus. Also, a large increase in rheological properties such as complex viscosity, storage and loss modulus was observed. The biodegradability of most MPCL was higher than that of virgin PCL.

Nanoparticles with unsaturated poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (UPHAs) biosynthesized with Pseudo-monas oleovorans were prepared by spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method. The influence of nanoparticle formation was investigated with various experimental parameters such as sonication conditions, sol-vent, surfactant and polymer contents, etc. The physical and chemical properties of UPHAS and its nanoparticles were characterized using $^1$H- and $\^$13/C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography. The morphology of particles was observed using scanning electron microscope and the size and distribution of nanoparticles were measured with electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer. The mean diameter of particles decreased with increasing sonication amplitude and time. The addition of ethanol into UPHAS chloroform solution decreased the particle size presumably due to increased solvent diffusion into water phase. The particle size increased with increased the concentration of UPHAS solution. Under the 2-4％ poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solution the minimum mean diameter of particles was shown. The higher degree of hydrolysis and degree of polymerization of PVA increased the mean diameter of particles.

The performance of the small scale cyclone incinerate system (100kg/hr) to process the sewage sludge containing high moisture is evaluated. The incinerate system design is based on properties of the domestic sewage sludge. The combustion characteristics of the incinerate system is tested and analyzed with the various operation conditions of the moisture level, the sludge feed rate and the auxiliary fuel feed rate. The pressure loss of the whole system is appeared relatively small of 700mmAq under the normal operating condition and the temperature distribution of the incinerator internal combustion is maintained less than 1000C. Auxiliary fuel of 4.7 1/hr is required to incinerate 100kg sludge which include 87% moisture. Because the inside temperature of the incinerator is maintained less than $1000^{\circ}C$, it is predicted that the most NOx measured is produced not from the heat during the combustion process but from the oxidation of the N ingredient in the sludge. From the component analysis of ash, the organic matter is not entirely detected. Accordingly, it is estimated that the complete combustion has been accomplished in the incinerator.

금(Au) 또는 은(Ag) 금속 나노입자의 모양, 크기, 분포 상태를 조절하여 가시광선과 적외선, 자외선 영역에서 강한 표면 플라즈몬 효과을 이용할 수 있는데, 최근 이러한 금속 나노입자의 표면플라즈몬 효과를 이용하여 태양광 소자의 성능을 향상시키는 연구가 매우 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 그 중, 높은 효율과 낮은 제작비용 그리고 간단한 공정과정의 장점을 갖고 있어서 크게 주목 받고 있는 염료감응태양전지에서도 금(Au) 또는 은(Ag) 금속 나노입자을 이용하기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 예로, Au가 코팅된 $TiO_2$ 기반의 염료감응태양전지구조를 제작하여, 입사된 빛이 표면플라즈몬 효과를 통해, Au에서 여기된 전자들이 Au/$TiO_2$ 사에의 schottky 장벽을 통과하여 $TiO_2$의 전도대 전자들의 밀도가 증가하여, charge carrier generating rate을 높여 소자의 광변환 효율의 향상을 증명하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는, $TiO_2$보다 높은 전자 이동도(mobility)와 직선통로(direct path way)의 장점을 갖고 있는 ZnO nanorod에서의 charge carrier generating rate을 높일 수 있도록, 비교적 가격이 저렴한 Ag nanoparticle을 코팅하였다. ZnO nanorod 제작은 낮은 온도에서 간단하게 성장시킬 수 있는 hydrothermal 방법을 이용하였다. 기판위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 이용하여 AZO seed layer를 증착한 후, zinc nitrate $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$과 hexamethylentetramines (HMT)으로 혼합된 용액을 사용해 ZnO nanorods를 성장시켰다. 이 후, Ag를 형성할 수 있도록 열증기증착법을 이용하여 코팅하였다. Ag의 증착시간에 따른 ZnO nanorods에서의 코팅된 구조와 형태를 관찰하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 결정성을 조사하기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 입사된 빛에 의해, 여기된 ZnO 전도대 전자들이 다시 재결합을 통해 방출되는 photoluminescence 양을 scanning PL 장비를 통해 측정하여 Ag가 코팅된 ZnO nanorod의 광특성을 분석하였다.
