We have developed new type of superconducting-superionic conducting nanohybrids, $Ag_xI_wBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ (n=1 and 2) by applying the chimie douce reaction to the superconducting Bi-based cuprates. These nanohybrids can be achieved by the stepwise intercalation whereby the $Ag^+$ ion is thermally diffused into the pre-intercalated iodine sublattice of $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis, the Ag-I intercalates are found to have an unique heterostructure in which the superionic conducting Ag-I layer and the superconducting $IBi_2Sr_2Ca_{n-1}Cu_nO_y$ layer are regularly interstratified with a remarkable basal increment of ~7.3$\AA$. The systematic XAS studies demonstrate that the intercalation of Ag-I accompanies the charge transfer between host and guest, giving rise to a change in hole concentration of $CuO_2$ layer and to a slight $T_c$ change. The Ag K-edge EXAFS result reveals that the intercalated Ag-I has a $\beta$-AgI-like local structure with distorted tetrahedral symmetry, suggesting a mobile environment for the intercalated $Ag^+$ ion. In fact, from ac impedance analyses, we have found that the Ag-I intercalates possess a fast ionic conductivity ($\sigma_i=10^{-1.4}\sim 10^{-2.6}\Omega^{-1}\textrm{cm}^{-1}\;at\;270^{\circ}C$ with an uniform activation energy ($\DeltaE_a=0.22\pm 0.02$ eV). More interesting finding is that these intercalates exhibit high electronic conducting as well as ionic ones ($t_i$=0.02~0.60) due to their interstratified structure consisting of superionic conducting and superconducting layers. In this respect, these new intercalates are expected to be useful as an electrode material in various electrochemical devices.

Leptin, the hormone product of the obese gene, is secreted predominately from white adipose tissue and regulates feed intake, energy metabolism and body composition. It has been considered a candidate gene for performance, carcass and meat quality traits in beef cattle. The objective of this study was to identify SNPs in the promoter region of the leptin gene and to evaluate the possible association of the SNP genotypes with carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. We identified a total of 25 SNPs in the promoter region (1,208-3,049 bp upstream from the transcription start site) of the leptin gene, eleven (g.1508C>G, g.1540G>A, g.1545G>A, g.1551C>T, g.1746T>G, g.1798ins(G), g.1932del(T), g.1933del(T), g.1934del(T), g.1993C>T and g.2033C>T) of which have not been reported previously. Their sequences were deposited in GenBank database with accession number DQ202319. Genotyping of the SNPs located at positions g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A within the promoter region was performed by direct sequencing and PCR-SSCP method to investigate the effects of SNP genotypes on carcass and meat quality traits in Korean cattle. The SNP and SSCP genotypes from the two mutations of the leptin promoter were shown to be associated with the BF trait. The average BF value of animals with heterozygous SNP genotype was significantly greater than that of animals with the homozygous SNP genotypes for the g.2418C>G and g.2423G>A SNPs (p<0.05). Analysis of the combined genotype effect in both SNPs showed that animals with the AC SSCP genotype had higher BF value than animals with BB or AA SSCP genotypes (p<0.05). These results suggest that SNP of the leptin promoter region may be useful markers for selection of economic traits in Korean cattle.

The potential candidates for IT-SOFCs cathode materials, $Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}Co_{0.8}Fe_{0.2}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (BSCF) and $La_{0.6}Ba_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ (LBCF) powders, were synthesized by a EDTA-citrate combined method from $Sr(NO_3)_2$, $Ba(NO_3)_2$, $La(NO_3)_3{\cdot}6H_2O$, $Co(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, $Fe(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$, citric acid and $EDTA-NH_3$. The cathode performance of symmetrical electrochemical cells consisting of BSCF-GDC or LBCF-GDC composite electrodes and a GDC electrolyte was investigated using by AC impedance spectroscopy at the temperature range of 500 to $700^{\circ}C$. It was found that a single phase perovskite could be successfully synthesized when the precursor is heated at $850^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Due to thermal expansion mismatch between BSCF and GDC, the composite cathodes with lower GDC content than 45 wt% were peeled off from the GDC electrolyte and their electrode polarization resistance was estimated to be high. The thermal expansion coefficient of BSCF-GDC composites was decreased with increasing the GDC content and the electrode peeling off did not occur in BSCF-45 and 55 wt% GDC composites. BSCF-45 wt% GDC composite electrode showed the lowest area specific resistances (ASR) of 0.15 and $0.04{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ at 600 and $700^{\circ}C$, respectively. On the other hand, LBCF-GDC composite cathodes showed higher ASR than the BSCF-45 and 55 wt% GDC and their cathode performance were decreased with the GDC content.

물체 단위의 동영상 컨텐츠(contents) 저작 부호화를 가능하게 하는 SA-DCT (Shape-Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform)는 기존의 블록 DCT와는 달리 수평과 수직 방향의 1차원 변환을 수행하는 순서에 따라 서로 다른 변환 결과를 보인다. 변환 대상 블록의 수평과 수직 방향 중 상관 관계가 크거나 변환시 화소의 이동이 작은 방향으로 먼저 1차원 변환을 수행함으로써 최종 2차원 변환된 계수들의 에너지 분포가 DC 계수를 중심으로 보다 집중화 됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 공간 상관도가 높은 방향으로 먼저 1차원 변환을 적용하므로써 보다 높은 에너지 집중화가 이루어짐을 실험적으로 확인한다. 그리고 1차원 변환 방향 순서를 매 블록별로 적응적으로 결정하기 위하여 두가지 방법을 제안한다. 하나의 방법은 주변 블록과 현재 블록의 DC 값들의 경사도를 이용하는 간접적 방법이며, 또다른 방법은 블록의 2차원 변환 데이터를 부호화하여 발생되는 비트수를 비교하는 직접적 방법이다. 제안 방법들을 MPEG-4 동영상 부호화기에 적용하여 모의 실험한 결과, 제안된 적응적 SA-DCT 방법이 기존의 SA-DCT에 비하여 경계 블록에서 최대 10.87%의 부호화 비트 감소 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to understand the change of impression by comparing the uniformity lighting with the compound lighting. In previous study, we proposed a light controlling method to harmonize daylight from a window and artificial lights from a ceiling and obtained the results to support our method. We referred this method as the Adjusted Compound-Lighting Model (AC Model). The model claims that lighting in a room with a side-window are perceived as harmonious when the overall light distribution in the room is well approximated by a compound of lights from the window and the entire ceiling. The experiment is carried out with the scaled-models and mock-up spaces that were supposed to be an office space. One is lit by the uniform lighting and the other by the compound lighting in each experimental space. In order to present varying illuminance distributions, thetwo variables were used in this study. One was the ratio of thelight from the window and ceiling in the standard and evaluation box. The standard box was provided by the ratio of 20% to 40% from the window and 80% to 60% from the ceiling as two lighting ratio patterns [Wu20(=Cu80) and Wu40(=Cu60)]. And the evaluation box was provided by the light ratio of 0% to 40 from the window and 100% to 60% from the ceiling [Wcp0(=Ccp100), Wcp20(=Ccp80) and Wcp40(=Ccp60)]. The other variable was themean illuminance level in both boxes. Two level of mean illuminance (700lx and 300lx) were used in this experiment. Each lighting condition was established at equal horizontal mean illuminance level, held constant near 700lx or 300lx in both boxes. Both of them were similar in the shape of distribution when there were same ratios of lights from the window and the ceiling. Subjects were asked to evaluate the point of difference by semantic differential rating on their overall impression after comparing with two rooms. The results showed that the impressions of compound lighting were more positive score than that of uniformity lighting on the items of 'dim-bright', 'dislike-like', 'artificial-natural' and 'closed-open', and that there was no significant difference in impressions between two spaces on other items.

선박 기관실의 해수 배관은 염소이온 농도와 전기 전도성이 높은 해수가 빠른 속도로 유동하는 환경에 놓여 있게 된다. 따라서 부식성이 강한 염소 이온으로 인해 배관 내부에 국부 부식이 발생하여 해수가 누설되는 경우가 종종 발생하고 있다. 그래서 해수 배관의 누설 부위에 대해 일반적으로 선박 내에서 여러 가지 피복아크용접봉을 사용하여 교류 아크용접기로 보수용접을 한다. 본 연구에서는 해수파이프 등에 E4301, E4311, E4313 및 E4316과 같은 피복아크용접봉으로 용접한 경우, 용접부위에 대해 영역별로 내식성 차이를 전기화학적 방법으로 비교 분석하고, 각각의 용접부위에 대한 미세조직 관찰 및 미소 비커스 경도를 측정하였다. E4313의 용접봉을 사용한 용접부가 다른 용접봉을 사용한 용접부에 비해 가장 낮은 경도 값을 나타내었으나 내식성은 가장 우수하게 나타나고 있다. 그리고 용접봉의 종류에 관계없이 용접부는 모재보다 상대적으로 내식성이 더 우수하였고, 경도도 더 높은 값을 나타내었다.

본 연구에서 PSS로 도핑된 EB와 LEB 형태의 폴리아닐린 필름을 ITO전극위에 m-cresol, chloroform 혼합용액을 도포시켜 제조하였다. UV 실험결과로부터 m-cresol에 의한 이차 도핑 효과를 확인 할 수 있었으며, m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 폴리아닐린 필름의 전도도는 증가하였다. 이차도핑에 의한 전도도 향상은 제조된 폴리아닐린과 m-cresol의 상호작용에 의한 것으로 판단된다. 폴리아닐린의 전기화학적 실험결과 LEB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극의 산화 환원 피크 전류는 EB로 제작된 폴리아닐린 전극보다 더 크고 가역적인 것을 CV를 통해 구할 수 있었다. 또한 전하전달 저항은 m-cresol의 양이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, LEB/PSS 전극의 전하 전달 저항 값이 EB/PSS 전극보다 작았다. 이것은 CV에서 얻은 경향과 일치하였다. 제조된 폴리아닐린 전극 모두 이중층 용량과 용액저항은 일정하였으며, 용액저항은 주파수에 무관한 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 PSS로 도핑된 폴리아닐린은 가상적인 n형 전도성 고분자의 특성을 나타내었다.

Graphene is one of the most promising materials for many applications. It can be used in a variety of applications not only as a reinforcement material for polymer to obtain a combination of desirable mechanical, electrical, thermal, and barrier properties in the resulting nanocomposite but also as a component in energy storage, fuel cells, solar cells, sensors, and batteries. Recent research at Michigan State University has shown that it is possible to exfoliate natural graphite into graphite nanoplatelets composed entirely of stacks of graphene. The size of the platelets can be controlled from less than 10 nm in thickness and diameters of any size from sub-micron to 15 microns or greater. In this study we have investigated the influence of melt compounding processing on the physical properties of a polyamide 6 (PA6) nanocomposite reinforced with exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnP). The morphology, electrical conductivity, and mechanical properties of xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite were characterized with electrical microscopy, X-ray diffraction, AC impedance, and mechanical properties. It was found that counter rotation (CNR) twins crew processed xGnP/PA6 nanocomposite had similar mechanical properties with co-rotation (CoR) twin screw processed or with CoR conducted with a screw design modified for nanoparticles (MCoR). Microscopy showed that the CNR processed nanocomposite had better xGnP dispersion than the (CoR) twin screw processed and modified screw (MCoR) processed ones. It was also found that the CNR processed nanocomposite at a given xGnP content showed the lowest graphite X-ray diffraction peak at $26.5^{\circ}$ indicating better xGnP dispersion in the nanocomposite. In addition, it was also found that the electrical conductivity of the CNR processed 12 wt.% xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is more than ten times higher than the CoR and MCoR processed ones. These results indicate that better dispersion of an xGnP-PA6 nanocomposite is attainable in CNR twins crew processing than conventional CoR processing.
