후막형 무기 EL (electro-luminescence) 소자는 제조공정이 간단하고, 얇고, 가볍고, 유연한 동의 많은 장점들 때문에 휴대폰의 키패드 (key-pad) 및 광고용 back-light용으로 사용되고 있다. 이 무기 EL 소자는 비교적 손쉬운 스크린 프린팅 (screen-printing) 법으로 대면적을 제작할 수 있지만, LED (light emitting diode) 등과 비교하여 밝기가 낮아서 그 응용 분야가 제한되고 있다. EL 소자의 형광층은 전면 전극과 후면 전극 사이에 위치한다. EL은 이 형광층에 고 전기장이 걸릴 때, 전기장에 의해 가속된 전자가 형광층 내부에 첨가된 발광 중심의 전자를 여기시키고, 여기된 전자가 다시 바닥상태로 완화될 때 빛이 방출되는 현상이다. 즉, EL 소자는 이러한 전자 발광 현상을 이용한 소자로서, 전압 인가 시 발광 면 전체가 균일하게 발팡하는 평면 광원이다. 이러한 EL 소자에서 휘도의 증가는 후면 전극과 형광층 사이에 삽입되는 유전체 층의 특성과 밀접한 연관성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고휘도 무기 EL 소자를 제작하기 위하여 이 유전체 층의 특성과 소자의 성능 사이의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 유전체 층에 사용하기 위해서 $BaTiO_3$-PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride)의 복합체 필름을 제조하였다. 먼저 이 복합체 필름을 스크린 프린팅 (screen printing) 법으로 코팅하기 위한 페이스트 제작을 위해서, PVDF 수지를 용제에 녹였다. 그 다음, 일반 혼합기 및 삼단 롤밀 혼합기 (3-roll milling mixer) 등을 이용하여 $BaTiO_3$ 분말과 PVDF 용액을 다양한 비율로 혼합하여 페이스트를 제조하였다. ITO가 증착된 PET Film에 스크린 프린팅 법을 사용하여 형광층, 유전층, 배면 전극 등을 차례로 코팅하였다. $BaTiO_3$ (BT) 분말과 복합체 필름의 XRD 분석 결과, 분말 시료와 복합체 시료 모두 페로브스카이트 구조의 BT 회절선만 관찰되었다. 복합체의 단면 SEM 관찰에서는, BT 분말의 무게비가 증가할수록 더 치밀한 구조를 보여줌을 확인하였다. 또 EL소자의 유전상수와 휘도도 BT 분말의 혼합비가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 제작한 무기 EL 소자의 최대 휘도는 약 $130\;cd/m^2$ 정도로 측정되었는데, 이는 휴대폰 키패드의 back-light용 광원으로 사용하기 충분하다고 판단되어진다.

In-site X-ray diffraction measurements under electric field up to 20kV/ cm were carried out on PLZT (x/70/30) with x=7.5, 8.0, 8.5, and 10.5 All of PLZT belonged to cubic phases. At x=7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 PLZT behaved as an antiferroelectric under low electric fields up to 4-8 kV/cm. PLZT became ferroelectric at the higher electric fields. The high-temperature measurements on the dielectric constants of PLZT with x=7.5, 8.0 and 8.5 showed that they were similar to relaxor ferroelectrics and underwent a diffuse phase transition from antiferroelectrics to paraelectrics at 50-7$0^{\circ}C$. Their P-E hysteresis curves confirmed that they were antifer-roelectrics. The broad distribution of Curie points suggests that there is a significant disorder of cations and vacances in the crystal structure of those PLZT due to La-substitution. The variation of the lattice strain of PLZT(10.5/70/30) with electic field was very small and did not show any hysteresis confirming that it was paraelectric. The degree of the electric-induced strain variation decreased as La doping increased. In PLZT(7.5/70/30) the intensity of 110 reflection changes sensitively by applying electric field. Some domains with polarization parallel to [110] appeared to be developed in the field-induced ferroelectric phase of the PLZT.

This paper presents a model simulating the folding process and collision dynamics of "ddakji", a traditional Korean game played using paper tiles (which are also referred to as ddakji). The model uses two A4 sheets as the base materials for ddakji. The folding process involves a series of boundary conditions that transform the wing part of the paper structure into a twisted configuration. A rigid plate boundary condition is also adopted for squeezing, establishing the shape and stress state of the game-ready ddakji through dynamic relaxation analysis. The gaming process analysis involves a forced displacement of the striking ddakji to a predetermined collision position. Collision analysis then follows at a given speed, with the objective of overturning the struck ddakji--a winning condition. A genetic algorithm-based optimization analysis identifies the optimal collision conditions that result in the overturning of the struck ddakji. For efficiency, the collision analysis is divided into two stages, with the second stage carried out only if the first stage predicts a possible overturn. The fitness function for the genetic algorithm during the first stage is the direction cosine of the struck ddakji, whereas in the second stage, it is the inverse of the speed, thus targeting the lowest overall collision speed. Consequently, this analysis provides optimal collision conditions for various compression thicknesses.

This study describes an efficient and facile method for configuration optimum design of structures. One of the ways to achieve numerical shape representation and the selection of design variables is using the design element concept. Using this technique, the number of design variables could be drastically reduced. Isoparametric mapping was utilized to automatically generate the finite element mesh during the optimization process, and this made it possible to easily calculate the derivatives of the coordinates of generated finite element nodes w.r.t. the design variables. For the structural analysis, finite element analysis was adopted in the optimization procedure, and two different techniques(the deterministic method, a modified method of feasible direction; and the stochastic method, a genetic algorithms) were applied to obtain the minimum volumes and section areas for an efficient configuration optimization procedure. Futhermore, spline interpolation was introduced to present a realistic optimum configuration that meet the manufacturing requirements. According to the results of several numerical examples(steel structures), the two techniques suggested in this study simplified the process of configuration optimum design of structures, and yielded improved objective function values with a robust convergence rate. This study's applicability and capability have therefore been demonstrated.

Geometric information is a key element for evaluating traffic safety and road maintenance. This study developed an algorithm to identify horizontal alignment using global positioning system(GPS) and inertial navigation system(INS) data. Roll and heading information extracted from GPS/INS were utilized to classify horizontal alignment into tangent, circular curve, and transition curve. The proposed algorithm consists of two components including smoothing for eliminating outlier and a heuristic classification algorithm. A genetic algorithm(GA) was adopted to calibrate parameters associated with the algorithm. Both freeway and rural highway data were used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Promising results, which 90.48% and 88.24% of classification accuracy were obtainable for freeway and rural highway respectively, demonstrated the technical feasibility of the algorithm for the implementation.

The conflict of opposing pedestrian traffic-flow in a subway station(made up of stair, passageway, and escalator) diminishes the convenience and mobility of its users. In addition, the station's efficiency would be negatively affected by the growth of delay and queue length in pedestrian facilities. As these phenomena have been resulted by the overlapping in pedestrian's traffic-line, the separation of it would alleviate these problems. For the criteria and methodology of separation, this paper has investigated the bi-directional queue length and delay on the entrance of each facility (stair, passageway and escalator). Since the pedestrian flow exists bidirectionally, we have used the weighted average by inflow rate for the delay value. For the optimization of the separation, the Genetic Algorithm has been utilized in order to minimize the delay.

Acne is one of the most common skin diseases, mainly occurring in adolescence. The pathophysiology of acne involves not only hormonal, genetic and environmental factors, but also other factors including hyperseborrhea, inflammation, over-keratinization of follicular keratinocytes and overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes). Cannabidiol (CBD) is known to relieve pain, stress and inflammation. Moreover, cannabis extracts containing CBD have been reported to be effective in treating acne. However, the therapeutic effect of CBD on acne remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of CBD on lipogenesis in SEB-1 sebocytes. We treated sebocytes with CBD and found that it not only inhibited lipid synthesis, but also inhibited cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis. We then demonstrated that sterol response element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1) mediates the inhibitory effect of CBD on lipogenesis. Furthermore, Akt and adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), upstream regulators of SREBP-1, were regulated by CBD treatment. Taken together, our studies demonstrate that CBD inhibits adipogenesis by regulating the Akt/AMPK-SREBP-1 signaling pathway, providing potential for use as a therapeutic agent for acne. Further research is needed to confirm the effect of CBD on inflammation caused by hyperkeratosis, which will increase the possibility of using CBD for acne treatment.

PbTiO$_3$ 씨앗층을 이용하여 완화형 강유전체 Pb(Mg$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/)O$_3$ (PMT) 박막의 페로브스카이트 상안정화와 열처리 조건에 따른 미세구조변화, 이에 따른 전기적 특성 변화에 관하여 조사하였다. PbTiO$_3$ 박막을 스핀코팅법으로 3000 rpm에서 20초간(111) 방향으로 배향된 Pt / Ti / SiO$_2$/ Si 기판에 증착하여 안정화된 페로브스카이트 박막을 얻었다. 이렇게 제조된 PbTiO$_3$를 Buffer 층으로 사용하고 그 위에 Pb(Mg$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/)O$_3$를 박막을 Spin coating방법으로 증착한 후, 급속열처리 방법(RTA)으로 550- $650^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 열처리하였다. 제조된 박막의 열처리 온도에 따른 미세구조 변화와 결정성을 XRD, SEM, TEM으로 분석하였고 박막의 저온 강유전 특성을 RT66A를 이용하여 평가하였다. Pb(Mg$_{1}$3/Ta$_{2}$3/)O$_3$ 박막의 경우 씨앗층이 없는 경우에는 pyrochlore상이 주상이었지만 씨앗층을 사용한 경우 페로브스카이트 상이 주상임을 확인하였고 열처리 온도가 증가할수록 페로브스카이트상의 상대적 양이 증가함을 확인하였다. 미세구조와 상의 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 변화에 관하여 자세하게 논의할 것이다.

To decrease the hysteresis of electric field induced strain, $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ dopant of which amount is 0-0.8wt% was added to the (P $b_{0.73}$B $a_{0.27}$)(Z $r_{0}$ 75/ $Ti_{0.25}$) $O_{3}$ ceramics. Electromechanical coupling coefficients of the specimen with 0.1 Wt% $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ were $k_{p}$=26.9% and $k_{31}$ =20.4%, which exhibited the maximum value at the constant bias electric field of 10 kV/cm. At the same $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ addition amount, electric field piezoelectric constant ( $d_{3l}$) and strain(.DELTA.l/l) showed the maximum values of 139.6*10$^{-12}$ [C/N] and 126*10$^{-6}$ .DELTA. l/l respectively at 10 kV/cm electric field. And the hysteresis of strain showed the minimum value of 17.5%. So, we propose that it is possible to apply PBZT system with $Y_{2}$ $O_{3}$ dopant to the electrostrictive actuator.r.r.
