신선농산물의 환경기체조절 저장 연구 및 호흡속도 측정연구에 필요한 설비중의 하나가 기체 발생기, 기체 실린더 및 이를 제어할 수 있는 가스분석기 이다. 현재는 질소, 산소, 이산화탄소 실린더를 이용하여 기체를 공급하고 기체분석기에서 저장고내의 농도를 측정하여 소정의 기체조성으로 유지하는 방법을 많이 사용하고 있으나 고가의 기체분석기를 구비하고 있어야 하는 점과 각 기체 실린더의 유지비용이 발생하며 자동으로 제어하기 위해서는 고가의 설비가 필요한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 가격이 저렴하면서 혼합기체를 안정적으로 공급할 수 있어 파일럿 시스템의 환경기체조절 저장연구에 사용될 수 있는 장치를 개발하였다. 환경기체조성을 위한 가스 혼합장치의 조작은 시판되는 $N_2$, $O_2$, $CO_2$압축 실린더 또는 질소 발생기 및 공기압축기와 연계하여 사용할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 개발된 혼합기의 작동원리는 압력 조절기를 통해서 일정압력 유지시킨 후 정밀 압력 조절기 (IR 2010, SMC Co., Japan)에서 정압을 유지하고 metering valve(SS-SS2, Swagelok Co., U.S.A)를 이용하여 각 기체의 유량을 소정의 비율로 제어할 수 있도록 하였다. 각각의 기체는 metering valve에서 조절된 유량의 비로 기체 혼합셀에서 섞이게되고 일정 농도의 혼합기체를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 가스혼합기의 성능실험을 위하여 압력을 조절하여 혼합가스의 유량을 조절하는 실험과 이에 따른 농도 재현성을 측정하였다. 정밀 압력 조절기의 설정압력을 0.04~0.16MPa까지 0.02MPa단위로 압력을 변화 시켜본 결과 발생되는 혼합기체의 유량은 35~175$m\ell$/min의 범위까지 유량을 자유롭게 조절 할 수 있었으며 발생기체의 농도는 압력에 따라 0.1~0.3%의 편차를 나타내었고 동일압력에서 시간 경과에 따른 재현성 측정 결과는 0.1% 수준으로 나타나 본 장치를 환경기체조절 저장챔버 또는 신선 농산물의 호흡속도 측정에 사용 할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

The comb-type grafted polymer hydrogels, which composed of N-isopropylacrylamide monomer and oligo(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-tert-butylacrylamide) [oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM)], were synthesized by redox polymerization in 5~10% methanol aqueous solution using ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) at 4 oC for 24h. The lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) of the comb-type grafted hydrogels were decreased with increase of t-BAM content in the grafted copolymer. We observed the effect of crosslinker and concentration of oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM) on the shrinking/swelling ratio of hydrogels. Changes of shrinking/swelling ratio were decreased with increase of concentration of crosslinker. The increase of grafted oligo(NIPAAm-co-t-BAM) in the hydrogel shows an fast changes of shrinking/ swelling rate. The comb-type grafted hydrogels are expected to be valuable for the sensing materials of time-temperature labels(TTLs).

Soils are commonly unsaturated in the near surface. The stiffness of soils is affected by the amount of air and water. The objective of this study is to evaluate the porosity of the unsaturated soils by using the elastic waves including compressional and shear waves. The elastic waves are measured at different degrees of saturation by controlling the matric suction. Thus, the unsaturated soils are characterized at different levels of the matric suction. Shear and compressional waves are measured by using the bender elements and the piezo disk elements, respectively. Both transducers are installed on the walls of the rectangular cell. The unsaturated soils are prepared by using uniform size sands and silts. Test results show that both compressional and shear wave velocities change according to the matric suction. The elastic modulus, the shear modulus, and the Poisson's ratio are estimated based on the measured elastic wave velocities. In addition, the void ratio of the unsaturated soils estimated using elastic wave velocities matches well with the volume based void ratio. This study demonstrates that the elastic waves can be effectively used for the characterization of unsaturated soils.

HWAW (Harmonic Wavelet Analysis of Wave) method, which is non-destructive method using body and surface waves, has the advantages of obtaining 2D subsurface imaging because it uses a short receiver spacing to obtain the $V_s$ profile of whole depth. Even though the reliability of HWAW method has already been verified by using the numerical simulation in the various layered models, it is very difficult to evaluate the reliability of HWAW in the field because the exact $V_s$ values of the experimental site are unknown. In this study, a model testing site where the material properties and layer information could be controlled was constructed to verify the reliability of HWAW method. The detailed geometry of the testing site was strictly measured by surveying, and 140 vertical and horizontal geophones were established at the boundary of each layer to evaluate the dynamic material properties. Using the interval travel times between the upper and lower geophones, the body wave velocities of each layer were 2 dimensionally obtained as reference data, and comparative study using HWAW method was performed. By comparing 2D Vs profile obtained by HWAW method to the reference data, the reliability of HWAW method was verified.

The effects of interactions between permeant molecules or permeant and membrane material have been investigated on the permeation behavior of permeants in pervaporation of water/alcohol mix¬tures. A poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membrane crosslinked with glutaraldehyde was employed in this study. A homologous series of alcohols in aqueous solution were used as feed. The pervaporation experiments were carried out with feed having 70-97 wt.% of alcohol contents and at various feed temperatures. In a high alcohol content above 92 wt.%, the permeation rate was increased in the order of interaction strength between alcohol and water in feed. However, in a low alcohol content below 90 wt.%, the tendency of the permeation rate was found to be opposite. These observations were discussed in terms of changes in interaction between permeant/permeant or permeant/membrane in varying feed composition and feed temperature.

Carbon dioxide is estimated to be responsible for 60% of the global warming effect, and this percentage is tending upward. Studies on removal and fixation of $CO_2$ in the flue gas are recognized as one of the important roles of the future biotechnology. Photobiological systems have considerably higher photosynthetic efficiency than conventional biomass system. The experiment for the photosynthetic fixation of $CO_2$ and the biomass production was performed with various initial cell concentration in a tubular photobioreactor and a bubble column $CO_2$ contactor with a gas sparger of $CO_2$ -enriched air(0.03~20%). Synechocystis PCC 6803 could grow at 10~20% $CO_2$ content under pH control. The highest specific growth rate, 0.0258 $h^{-1}$ , was obtained at 5% $CO_2$-air mixture. The maximum cell production rate, 0.2784 g/L.day, was obtained when the initial cell concentration was 0.45 g/L at 5% $CO_2$ -air mixture. The maximum cell concentration was 2.03 g/L in the tubular photobioreactor when the light intensity was $45.5{\mu}$ $E/m^2$ . s. This system showed 0.482 g $CO_2$ /L . day of the $CO_2$ fixation.

The effect of process parameters such as plasma composition, ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) source power and rf chuck power on the etch characteristics of GaN epitaxy layer was studied. $Cl_2/Ar$ ICP discharges showed higher etch rates than $SF_6/Ar$ discharges because of the higher volatility of $GaCl_x$ etch products than $GaF_x$ compounds. As the Ar ratio increases in the $Cl_2/Ar$ ICP discharges, the etch anisotropy was enhanced due to the improved physical component of the etching. For both plasma chemistries, the GaN etch rate increased continuously as both the ICP source power and rf chuck power increased, and a maximum etch rate of 251.9 nm/min was obtained at $13Cl_2/2Ar$, 750W ICP power, 400W rf chuck power and 10 mTorr condition.

This experiment was carried out to the effect of population densities on the growth reproduction, cast production of the earthworm and chemical composition of worm casts. The population densities of 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 individuals of the earthworm fed with cow manure was studied in rearing box($6,400cm^3$) and fertility stage during a period of 60 days. The results were summarized as follows 1. Survival rates(SR) of the earthworms had significantly positive correlated with increasing rate(IR). But, survival rates(SR) and increasing rate(IR) had significantly negative correlated with reproductive efficiency(RE). 2. The ranges of optimum population densities estimated were $42.7cm^3-128.0cm^3/worm$. 3. The cast production estimated were 36.5mg-80.9mg/day/worm grown in optimum population densities(50-150 worms/$6,400cm^3$). 4. The earthworm castings are an excellent soil conditioning material with a high chemical composition and their physical properties.

Lithium cobalt oxide cathode for thin-film rechargeable lithium batteries were fablicated by electron-beam evaporation. Annealed lithium cobalt oxide, which was deposited on to stainless steel substrate, showed well-developed (003) planes of the hexagonal structure and potential plateau at $\~3.9 V$. Lithium cobalt oxide thin films had the stoichiometric Li/co ratio at high deposition rates and exhibited high discharge capacity at $15{\AA}/s$. As the annealing temperature increased, discharge capacity increased with maximum value at $700^{\circ}C$, but showed low capacity as a result of reaction with substrate above $700^{\circ}C$. Unuiformity of the lithium and cobalt in the depth profile gave initial capacity loss with charge/discharge performance.
