발전설비 구조물은 기대 수명동안의 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 정해진 규격에 부합하도록 설계하여 건설된다. 하지만 가동 중 다양한 복합 환경에 노출됨에 따라 구조물을 이루고 있는 재료의 열화 현상이 가속화 되어 예상하지 못한 파손이 발생할 수 있기 때문에, 용접부와 같은 구조물의 취약부에 대하여 기계적 물성을 정확하게 측정하는 기술은 안전과 직결되는 필수적인 연구 분야이다. 인장시험 등의 기존의 역학물성 측정 시험법들은 특정 크기의 시편을 요구하고 파괴적인 시험이기 때문에 가동 중 구조물에 적용하는 것이 불가능하였다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하고자 비파괴적이고 간편한 방법으로 다양한 역학물성 평가가 가능한 연속압입시험법이 각광받는 시험법으로서 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연속압입시험에서 압입자 하부에 발생하는 응력장 해석을 기반으로 하여 인장물성 및 잔류응력을 평가할 수 있는 최신 기법을 소개한다. 또한, 원전 구조물의 취약부로 알려진 용접부에 대하여 실험을 수행하여 산업상에서 연속압입시험이 건전성 평가에 유용하게 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Felodipine, a calcium-antagonist of dihydropyridine type, is a poorly water soluble drug and has very low bioavailability. As preceding studies, use of solid dispersion systems and surfactants(solubilizers) has been suggested to increase dissolution and to improve bioavailability of felodipine. But in case of solid dispersion systems, large amount of toxic organic solvents should be used and manufacturing process time become longer than conventional process. In case of using surfactants, as time elapsed, decreasing of dissolution rate of felodipine due to crystallization has been reported. In this study, Copovidon as a hydrophilic polymer and $Transcutol^{\circledR}$ as a surfactant were combined to formulations if order to increase dissolution of felodipine and conventional wet granulation process were applied to manufacturing of formulations. The effect of Copovidon and $Transcutol^{\circledR}$ on the dissolution oi felodipine was investigated in-vitro. When Copovidon and $Transcutol^{\circledR}$ used simultaneously, the dissolution rate of felodipine was prominently increased compared with when used separately and the maximum increase in the dissolution of felodipine was 5.8 fold compared to control. This is most probably due to synergy effect by combination of Copovidon and $Transcutol^{\circledR}$. Felodipine sustained release tablets were successfully formulated using several grades of HPMC as a release retarding agent. The stability of felodipine sustained release tablet was evaluated after storage at accelerated condition($40^{\circ}C/75%\;RH$) for 6months in HDPE(High density polyethylene) bottle. Neither significant degradation nor change of dissolution rate for felodipine was observed after 6months. In conclusion, felodipine sustained release tablet was successfully formulated and dissolution of felodipine, poorly water soluble drug, was prominently increased and also stability was guaranteed by using combination system of hydrophilic polymer and surfactant.

항생물질 발효산업 부산물인 부산물오니의 농업적 활용성을 검토하기 위하여 98년 5월과 8월 두 차례 열무의 생장량 및 토양 화학성에 미치는 효과를 비교하였다. 오니의 처리수준은 열무의 표준시비량($N-P_2O_5-K_2O=160-59-104$ kg/ha)을 대조구로 하여 오니 및 관행퇴비를 각각 1000 kg/ha 씩 추가 시용 하는 오니 및 퇴비 첨가구 와 오니 및 퇴비 각각에 함유된 질소량의 30%를 질소 시용량에서 공제하는 질소공제 오니 및 퇴비구 등 5개 처리로 비교하였다. 오니 첨가구 및 질소공제 오니구의 열무 발아율과 초기생육은 대조구, 퇴비 첨가구 및 질소공제 퇴비구에 비하여 부진하였다. 이는 미분해된 오니의 토양중 분해과정에서 생성될 수 있는 암모니아가스 피해에 기인된 것으로 생각된다. 그러나 수확기의 열무 수량은 오니 첨가구 및 질소공제 오니구를 포함한 모든 처리구간에 1차 및 2차 시험 모두 유의성 있는 차이가 인정되지 않았다. 이는 오니의 시용에 의한 열무의 생육이 후반기에 빠르게 증진되었다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 식물체의 질소함량과 토양의 무기태 질소 함량은 오니의 시용에 의하여 증가되는 경향이었으나 항생물질 cephalosporin-C는 열무의 지상부나 지하부 그리고 시험 후 토양에서 검출되지 않았다. 따라서 부산물오니는 유기물(750 g/kg)과 전질소(56 g/kg)를 많이 함유하고 유해 중금속 함량이 허용치 이하인 점을 고려할 때 양질의 유기물 자원으로서 농업적 활용가치가 인정되었다.

The 3D interconnect technologies have been appeared, as the density of Integrated Circuit (IC) devices increases. Through Silicon Via (TSV) process is an important technology in the 3D interconnect technologies. And the process is used to form a vertically electrical connection through silicon dies. This TSV process has some advantages that short length of interconnection, high interconnection density, low electrical resistance, and low power consumption. Because of these advantages, TSVs could improve the device performance higher. The fabrication process of TSV has several steps such as TSV etching, insulator deposition, seed layer deposition, metallization, planarization, and assembly. Among them, TSV metallization (i.e. TSV filling) was core process in the fabrication process of TSV because TSV metallization determines the performance and reliability of the TSV interconnect. TSVs were commonly filled with metals by using the simple electrochemical deposition method. However, since the aspect ratio of TSVs was become a higher, it was easy to occur voids and copper filling of TSVs became more difficult. Using some additives like an accelerator, suppressor and leveler for the void-free filling of TSVs, deposition rate of bottom could be fast whereas deposition of side walls could be inhibited. The suppressor was adsorbed surface of via easily because of its higher molecular weight than the accelerator. However, for high aspect ratio TSV fillers, the growth of the top of via can be accelerated because the suppressor is replaced by an accelerator. The substitution of the accelerator and the suppressor caused the side wall growth and defect generation. The suppressor was used as Single additive electrodeposition of TSV to overcome the constraints. At the electrochemical deposition of high aspect ratio of TSVs, the suppressor as single additive could effectively suppress the growth of the top surface and the void-free bottom-up filling became possible. Generally, copper was used to fill TSVs since its low resistivity could reduce the RC delay of the interconnection. However, because of the large Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) mismatch between silicon and copper, stress was induced to the silicon around the TSVs at the annealing process. The Keep Out Zone (KOZ), the stressed area in the silicon, could affect carrier mobility and could cause degradation of the device performance. Cobalt can be used as an alternative material because the CTE of cobalt was lower than that of copper. Therefore, using cobalt could reduce KOZ and improve device performance. In this study, high-aspect ratio TSVs were filled with cobalt using the electrochemical deposition. And the filling performance was enhanced by using the suppressor as single additive. Electrochemical analysis explains the effect of suppressor in the cobalt filling bath and the effect of filling behavior at condition such as current type was investigated.

건강기능성 식품소재로써 각광을 받고 있는 오미자의 특징적인 붉은 색소인 anthocyanin의 가열 변색에 대한 안정성을 연구하고자 오미자 조추출물(crude pigment extracts from Schizandra fructus)을 색소원으로 하여 가열 변색에 대한 지표로서 browning index(BI)를 이용하여 $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$에서 kinetic parameter를 조사하였다. 그 결과 pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 범위에서 pH가 높을수록 가열 변색 인자인 BI값이 감소하여 높은 pH에서 가열에 의한 변색이 활발하게 이루어졌음을 시사하였다. 지표인자인 BI와 가열시간의 관계를 분석한 결과 가열변색 반응은 2차 반응을 따랐으며 qinoidal base가 우세해지는 pH 5.0 구간을 제외하고는 pH가 높아짐에 따라 반응 속도상수(k)는 증가하여 높은 pH에서 가열 변색이 빠르게 이루어지고 있음을 나타내었다. Arrhenius식에 의해 계산된 오미자 anthocyanin 색소의 활성화 에너지(Ea)는 $24.87{\sim}42.54\;kJ/mol$이었으며, pH가 높아짐에 따라 활성화 에너지(Ea)값이 증가하여 온도 의존성이 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 각 pH조건에서의 지수앞인자($k_0$)와 활성화 에너지(Ea)가 직선 상관관계를 보여 시험한 pH 범위에서 오미자 anthocyanin 색소의 가열 변색 기작은 모두 같은 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to analyse the effects of the UFCA for treating polluted water in a reservoir. The UFCA mixes water by circulation of surface and bottom water layers. The circulation supplies oxygen to bottom of the reservoir, resulting in water quality improvement. With a UFCA in use, we surveyed the changes of temperature, pH, transparency, depth, conductivity, DO, COD, BOD, T-N, T-P and Chlorophyll-a for 7 months from Feb. to Aug. in 2004 in our experimental reservoir. There was little difference in the surface and bottom temperatures of the reservoir because of water mixing by the UFCA. However, pH was changed from 7 to 9. The transparency of water was about 80 cm through the all periods. Conductivity was $150\;{\mu}S/cm$ in early Feb., but increased to $270\;{\mu}S/cm$ in early March. Little change was seen in DO with depth, but it was maintained above 6 mg/l in June and July. BOD increased from 2.1 to 12.2 mg/l. The study reservoir did not undergo any eutrophication during the period of our experiment, but the comparison reservoir had an algae-bloom. The COD in the experimental reservoir increased from 5.4 to 14.5 mg/l. The COD concentration of the experimental reservoir was higher than comparison reservoir at the beginning of the study but in August this situation was reversed. SS concentration increased from 13.5 to 23.5 mg/l in Feb., but it fell from between 8.5 to 11.2 mg/l in July. T-N was increased from 1.3 to 4.9 mg/l. It increased up to 3 times in the rainy season as compared to other components. However the comparison reservoir increased up to 40 times higher than the experimental reservoir in the same period. T-P increased from 0.04 to 0.17 mg/l. The ratio of T-N to T-P increased from 20:1 to 40:1 which means that T-P was a growth limiting factor for algae and aquatic plants. Chlorophyll-a increased from 20 to 120 mg/l, and its concentration was correlated with T-P, such that Chlorophyl-a concentration increased with increased of T-P concentration. The concentrations of COD, T-N, T-P and other parameters were higher in the experimental reservoir than in the comparison reservoir but this situation was reversed in July, when the most severe eutophication occurred. The results show that overall the experimental reservoir was greatly remedied by UFCA. The UFCA accelerated the degradation of aquatic organic materials through effective supply of air with up-flow and circulation of water. We conclude that the UFCA can be very effective in aspect of the remediation of water quality incontaminated reservoirs and lakes.

Mitophagy, a cellular process that selectively targets dysfunctional mitochondria for degradation, is currently a hot topic in research into the pathogenesis and treatment of many human diseases. Considering that hypoxia causes mitochondrial dysfunction, which results in cell death, we speculated that selective activation of mitophagy might promote cell survival under hypoxic conditions. In the present study, we introduced the Regulator of calcineurin 1-1L (Rcan1-1L) to initiate the mitophagy pathway and aimed to evaluate the effect of Rcan1-1L-induced mitophagy on cell survival under hypoxic conditions. Recombinant adenovirus vectors carrying Rcan1-1L were transfected into human umbilical vein endothelial cells and human adult cardiac myocytes. Using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide MTT assay and Trypan blue exclusion assay, Rcan1-1L overexpression was found to markedly reverse cell growth inhibition induced by hypoxia. Additionally, Rcan1-1L overexpression inhibited cell apoptosis under hypoxic conditions, as detected by annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) apoptosis assay. Meanwhile, the mitochondria-mediated cell apoptotic pathway was inhibited by Rcan1-1L. In contrast, knockdown of Rcan1-1L accelerated hypoxia-induced cell apoptosis. Moreover, Rcan1-1L overexpression significantly reduced mitochondrial mass, decreased depolarized mitochondria, and downregulated ATP and reactive oxygen species production. We further delineated that the loss of mitochondrial mass was due to the activation of mitophagy induced by Rcan1-1L. Rcan1-1L overexpression activated autophagy flux and promoted translocation of the specific mitophagy receptor Parkin into mitochondria from the cytosol, whereas inhibition of autophagy flux resulted in the accumulation of Parkin-loaded mitochondria. Finally, we demonstrated that mitochondrial 1permeability transition pore opening was significantly increased by Rcan1-1L overexpression, which suggested that Rcan1-1L might evoke mitophagy through regulating mitochondrial permeability transition pores. Taken together, we provide evidence that Rcan1-1L overexpression induces mitophagy, which in turn contributes to cell survival under hypoxic conditions, revealing for the first time that Rcan1-1L-induced mitophagy may be used for cardioprotection.

A multilayer tower-type photoreactor, in which $TiO_2$-coated glass-tubes were installed, was used to measure the vapor-phase BTEX removal efficiencies by ozone oxidation ($O_3$/UV), photocatalytic oxidation ($TiO_2$/UV) and the combination of ozone and photocatalytic oxidation ($O_3/TiO_2$/UV) process, respectively. The experiments were conducted under various relative humidities, temperatures, ozone concentrations, gas flow rates and BTEX concentrations. As a result, the BTEX removal efficiency and the oxidation rate by $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system were highest, compared to $O_3$/UV and $TiO_2$/UV system. The $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system accelerated the low oxidation rate of low-concentration organic compounds and removed organic compounds to a large extent in a fixed volume of reactor in a short time. Therefore, $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system as a superimposed oxidation technology was developed to efficiently and economically treat refractory VOCs. Also, this study demonstrated feasibility of a technology to scale up a photoreactor from lab-scale to pilot-scale, which uses (i) a separated light-source chamber and a light distribution system, (ii) catalyst fixing to glass-tube media, and (iii) unit connection in series and/or parallel. The experimental results from $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system showed that (i) the highest BTEX removal efficiencies were obtained under relative humidity ranging from 50 to 55% and temperature ranging from 40 to $50^{\circ}C$, and (ii) the removal efficiencies linearly increased with ozone dosage and decreased with gas flow rate. When applying Langmuir-Hinshelwood model to $TiO_2$/UV and $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system, reaction rate constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was larger than that for $TiO_2$/UV system, however, it was found that adsorption constant for $O_3/TiO_2$/UV system was smaller than that for $TiO_2$/UV system due to competitive adsorption between organics and ozone.
