Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is commonly used in sunscreen formulations to protect the skin surface and prevent the penetration of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays by the physical scattering action of light. However, a disadvantage of using TiO₂ is that it can cause white turbidity when used on skin due to its inactive mineral ingredient. In addition, when TiO₂ particles are reduced to nanosize to eliminate opacity, they can increase the transmittance of visible light and reduce whitening, but may lead to serious skin problems, such as allergic inflammation. To overcome these issues, the bandgap of TiO₂ was controlled by adjusting the amount of oxygen defect and nitrogen amount, resulting in color TiO₂ tailored to the skin. This innovative technology can reduce the whitening phenomenon and effectively block blue light, which is known to cause skin aging by inducing active oxygen. The bandgap controlled TiO₂ compounds proposed in this study are hypoallergenic, broad-spectrum, and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, these compounds have been shown to significantly enhance sun protection factor (SPF) of sunscreens, demonstrating their compatibility with blue light blocking products.

생체용 금속 임플란트의 표면개질은 생체활성화를위하여 오래 전 부터 관심을 가지고 연구해오고 있다. 최근에 표면개질을위하여 화학적 에칭, 샌드 블래스팅, 또는 나노튜브형성등 표면에 임의의 요철을 만들어서 사용하는방법이 가장 일반적으로 적용되어 상용화되고있다. 그러나 샌드블래스팅이나 화학적 에칭은 가공은 쉽지만 가공표면에 인체에 해로운 잔류물의존재로 생체적합성에 해로운 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기위하여 레이저를 사용하여 임플란트 표면을 개질한 예가 보고 되었다. 레이저를 사용한 표면처리 방법의큰 장점은 잔류물이 남지 않고 비교적 표면 거칠기의 제어가 용이하다. 금속합금의 표면개질에사용되는 레이저는 주로 Nd:YAG 레이저의 파장을 반으로 줄인 녹색레이저 ($\lambda$=532nm)를 사용하거나, 자외선파장영역의레이저를 사용하는 경우가 일반적으로 가장 보 편화된 가공방법으로 연구되었다. 표면의 거칠기는 수마이크로의크기와 수십나노의 크기를 갖는 표면을 생체적합적인 측면에서 요구하고 있다. 따라서 이러한 표면의 거칠기를조절할 수 있는 펨토레이저를 사용하여 표면에 균질한 표면의 텍스춰링을 통하여 그 특성을 개선할 수 있는지를 확인하는 것이 본 과제이다. 본 실험에서는 Ti합금을 진공 아크로를 이용하여 3원계합금을 제조하고 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 열처리 후 급냉(water quenching)하였다. 열처리 후 시편은 두께 2mm로 절단 하여 #2000까지 연마 후 하여 펨토 초(10-15 second) 펄스폭 대역을 갖는 레이저를 이용하여 수마이크로 크기의 미세 요철을 표면에 형성한 후, 표면의 특성을 조사해 보았다.(NRF-2009-0074672)

최근 들어 하구의 이용도가 높아져 감에 따라 용수 취수, 염해 방지공, 하도 계획, 수질 개선 등의 문제와 관련하여 하도 내로 침입하는 염수쐐기를 적절히 제어해야 될 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 염수쐐기의 형태와 거동특성을 정확하게 예측하고 내부유동 구조를 구명하는 것이 필요하다. 염수쐐기의 수리학적 특성에 관한 국내외 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 국내에서는 하구에서의 유동장 해석을 위한 연구와 염수침입 현상과 반대로 담수 유출이 해양환경에 미치는 영향에 관한 해양공학적 연구가 주로 수행되었다. 국외에서는 1950년대 초반에 하구에서의 염도 혼합양상과 확산계수의 결정 및 수학적 모형에서 각 항들의 상대적 중요성 평가와 같은 기초적인 연구가 수행되었으며, 1970년대에 컴퓨터의 급속한 발전에 힘입어 다양한 수치적 기법이 개발되어 폭이 좁고 성층화된 하구에서의 수치계산이 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 정상 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성을 파악하기 위하여 수리실험을 수행하였다. 실험은 염수수조, 담수유입부, 수로부로 구성된 실험수로에서 수행되었으며, 염수와 담수간의 밀도차에 근거하여 실험 조건을 설정하였다. 실험을 통하여 밀도차와 담수유입량에 따라 염수쐐기의 형태 및 거동특성이 지배됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.

Porous materials are useful in a wide range of applications including bio/electronic products. The preparation and processing of these materials are mainly progressed by using an organic solvent, which gives rise to air pollution by its emissions. Alternatively, supercritical fluids are well suited to the production of functional porous materials due to a number of specific physical, chemical, and toxicological advantages. In this review, we will introduce the preparation and processing techniques for the formation of the nano/macro pore structure and their morphology, which can be controled by using supercritical fluids.

In this paper, we present an automatic C source code generation system for DirectShow based multimedia application programming. In this system, C source code is automatically synthesized from the filter connection graph edited with GraphEdit, a utility tool provided with DirectShow SDK package from Microsoft. In traditional DirectShow programming environments, program design and brief testing steps are usually done with GraphEdit tool just by inserting filters and connecting them properly, while actual implementation of the program should be done separately. The filter connection graph information from GraphEdit is used just as a reference in such the implementation step. Therefore, our system which automatically generates C source code directly from the filter connection graph of GraphEdit seems very useful and many programmers can develop DirectShow based multimedia application programs more effectively and quickly using our system. In addition, our system supports more various media stream control functions for the generated application programs than the existing system such as Wizard which supports limited and fixed number of media control functions only. This feature allows more flexibility in the user interface of the generated source program and makes our system more practical for DirectShow based programming.

최근에 보고된 양질의 고효율Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 태양전지는 CIGS광흡수층이 강한 (220:204) 우선배향성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다 [1]. 이러한 CIGS우선배향성은 Se 증착압력, Na농도, 기판온도 및 Mo후면전극의 표면상태에 영향을 받는 것으로 알려져 있지만 정확한 상호관계는 아직 명확히 알려져 있지 않으며, 특히 Mo후면전극의 영향에 대해서는 체계적인 연구결과조차 극히 드문 상황이다 [2]. 본 연구에서는 CIGS 박막의 우선배향성에 대해 Mo후면전극의 미세구조가 미치는 영향 및 이에 따른 cell특성의 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. Mo후면전극의 미세구조는 2 mTorr~16 mTorr까지 증착압력을 변화시켜 제어되었고, CIGS광흡수층은 이렇게 준비된 Mo후면전극상에 3단계 동시증밥법(3-stage process)을 사용하여 형성하였다. XRD를 통한 박막의 우선배향성 평가에서, Mo 증착압력에 대한 IGS I(300)/I(006) 및 CIGS I(220:204)/I(112)의 거동은 Mo 미세구조와 밀접한 관련이 있는 잔류응력(residual stress)의 변화 거동과 상당히 일치함을 보였다. 이에 반해, 높은 압력의 Mo위에 형성된 강한 (220:204) 우선배향성의 CIGS와 bare-glass위에서 형성된 강한 (112) 우선배향성의 CIGS내 Na농도는 서로 유사하였다. 상기의 결과는 Mo미세구조 그 자체가 CIGS 박막 우선배향성의 원인이 됨을 나타낸다. Selenized Mo시편의 XRD분석 및 IGS/Mo 시편의 TEM분석결과을 통해 MoSe2의 반응성이 잔류응력과 비례하는 Mo in-gain 밀도에 의존하는 함을 알 수 있었고, 이러한 MoSe2반응성(reactivity)과 IGS우선배향성 사이에 상당히 밀접한 관련이 있으며 이에 CIGS의 우선배향성이 결정됨을 확인하였다. 마지막으로, Mo변수에 의해 제작된 cell의 특성분석으로부터 cell의 효율이 주로 VOC의 증가에 기인하여 CIGS (220:204) 우선배향성의 정도에 비례하였다.

A sports center fire in Jecheon that caused 29 deaths and 40 injuries was analyzed based on initial response and management in order to investigate the causes of the casualties. The aspects of initial response included delay of reporting 119, not being guided to the exit for the body scrubber on the $2^{nd}$ floor for escape, opening the fire doors of the exits on the $1^{st}$ floor and $3^{rd}$ floor, not closing the fire door of the main stairs on the $3^{rd}$ floor, and not doing an emergency broadcast. The management aspects included closing the alarm valve of the sprinkler system on the $1^{st}$ floor, starting-stop of the fire pump controller, neglecting leakage of water and electricity between the false ceiling and ceiling in the parking lot, hiding the exit light in the ladies bathroom lounge on the $2^{nd}$ floor and piling up things in the exit, neglecting the button of an automatic door on the $2^{nd}$ floor, conventional fire safety management, insufficient inspection of fire equipment, and not working fire shutters and smoke exhaust windows.

A comparative evaluation of water quality in the existing semiclosed fish culture system was made to improve the system management. From the comparison of water quality between the flow-through mode and the recycle mode of the semiclosed system, the malfunctioning of the settling channel deteriorated water quality and reduce the nitrification rate in the recycle mode. The peak concentrations of COD, $PO_4-P$ and SS in the fish tanks appeared just after feeding, and then decreased to normal levels within two hours. However, the $NH_4-N$ concentration increased slightly after two hours of feeding in the recycle mode. The water exchange rate was directly related to the water quality in the semiclosed fish culture system.

In patients with Tourette's syndrome, a tic occurs when Mu wave synchronization is broken. Conversely, when Mu wave synchronization is achieved, a tick does not occur. When the tic is suppressed, the cognitive control response process is changed, and if the neurofeedback training that adjusts the EEG frequency power is performed with the changed, the patient will be treated autonomously without artificially suppressing the tic. The results of the research test suggest that if the tic patient does not artificially synchronize mu waves in the premotor cortex (Frontal Cortical 3 site), and if EEG control is performed autonomously like neurofeedback training, as a result, tics do not occur. Cognitive control response processes are altered when a subject is inhibited from tics. By training the altered cognitive control with neurofeedback that modulates EEG frequency power, the patient can be treated autonomously without artificially suppressing the tic.Mu-wave synchronizationcan now be added to existing neurofeedback treatment protocols such as SMR reinforcement, theta-beta-wave imbalance correction, and alpha-wave reinforcement. This study will be used in follow-up studies and clinical trials to more scientifically verify the neurofeedback treatment protocol, a treatment for patients with Tourette's syndrome.

In this paper, a high-performance and low-noise centrifugal fan is developed for cooling automotive seats which provide a driver with pleasant driving environment. First, the flow characteristics of the existing fan unit was analyzed using a fan performance tester and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations. The analysis of the predicted flow field indicated vortex flow near the tip of fan hub and stagnation flow on the top of fan hub. Two design points are devised to reduce the vortex flow and the stagnation flow observed in the existing fan unit. First, the cut-off clearance which is the minimum distance between the fan blade and the fan housing is increased to reduce the vortex strength and, as a result, to reduce the overall sound pressure level. Second, the hub shape is more modified to eliminate the stagnation flow. The validity of proposed design is confirmed through the numerical analysis. Finally, a prototype is manufactured with a basis on the numerical analysis result and its improved flow and noise performances are confirmed through the P-Q curves measured by using the Fan Tester and the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) levels measured in the anechoic chamber.
