Objectives: Nanomaterials have been used in various fields. As use of nanoproducts is increasing, workers dealing with nanomaterials are also gradually increasing. Exposure assessments for nanomaterials have been carried out for protection of worker's health in workplace. Exposure studies were mainly focused on manufacturing processes, but these studies on after-treatment processes such as refinement, weighing, and packing were insufficient. So, we investigated exposure characteristics of particles during after-treatment processes of $Al_2O_3$ fibers and Ni powders. Methods: Mass-production of Ni powder process was carried out in enclosed capture-type canopy hood. In a developing stage, $Al_2O_3$ was handled with a local ventilation unit. Exposure characteristics of particles were investigated for $Al_2O_3$ fiber and Ni powder processes during the periods of 10:00 to 16:00, 20 May 2014 and 13:00 to 16:00, 21 May 2014, respectively. Three real-time aerosol instruments were utilized in exposure assessment. A scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS, nanoscan, model 3910, TSI) and an optical particle counter(OPC, portable aerosol spectrometer, model 1.109, Grimm) were used to determine the particle size distribution in the size range of 10-420 nm and $0.25-32{\mu}m$, respectively. In addition, a nanoparticle aerosol monitor(NAM, model 9000, TSI) was used to measure lung-deposited nanoparticle surface area. Membrane filters(isopore membrane filter, pore size of 100 nm) were also used for air sampling for the FE-SEM(model S-5000H, Hitachi) analysis using a personal sampling pump(model GilAir Plus by 2.5 L/min, Gilian). Conclusions: For Ni powder after-treatment process, only 27% increase in particle concentration was found during the process. However, for $Al_2O_3$ fiber after-treatment process, significant exposure(1.56-3.34 times) was observed during the process.

The effect of varied light intensities on the growth of daughter plants during propagation and after transplant to raised beds were examined in 'Sulhyang' strawberry. To this end, four treatments in controlling solar radiation inside a plastic house were made: 55% retractable shading and 35, 55, and 75% fixed shading. The plastic house was shaded only from 11:00 to 16:00 in June and 10:00 to 16:00 in July to September for the treatment of 55% retractable shading. The mean solar radiation inside the plastic house in the retractable 55% shading treatment was 317 W·m^-2 and those in the 35, 55, and 75% fixed shading treatments were 183, 165, and 116 W·m^-2, respectively, at 10 o'clock in the morning. The 55% and 75% fixed shading resulted in taller daughter plants with wider leaf areas than 55% retractable shading. The retractable shading also showed higher leaf numbers, crown diameters, root weights, and fresh weights compared to fixed shading treatments. Regarding the inorganic element contents, daughter plants grown under 75% fixed shading had 1.35% total nitrogen content followed by 1.19% in 35% fixed shading, 1.14% in 55% fixed shading, 1.14% in open culture, and 1.10% in 55% fixed shading. After 54 days following the transplant of daughter plants to a raised bed, the fresh weight of the aboveground part was the heaviest in the 55% retractable shading and non-shading treatments. The 75% fixed shading treatment had the lowest fresh weight of the aboveground plant parts. The results of this study could be used for the production of high-quality daughter strawberry plants.

The polarizing film application exploits the unique physicochemical properties between PVA(Poly vinyl alcohol) film and CTA(Cellulose triacetate) film. However, hardly any research was aimed at improving the adhesion characteristics of the CTA film by radio frequency(RF) plasma treatment at argon(Ar) gaseous state. In this report, we deal with surface treatment technology for protective CTA film developed specifically for high adhesion applications. After Ar plasma, surface of the films is analyzed by atomic force microscopy(AFM), roughness parameter and peel strength. Furthermore, the wetting properties of the CTA film were studied by contact angle analysis. Results obtained for CTA films treated with a glow discharge showed that this technique is sensitive to newly created physical functions. The roughness and peel strength value increased with an increase in treatment time for initial treatment, but showed decreasing trend for continuous treatment time. The result of contact angle measurement refer that the hydrophilicity of surface was increased. AFM studies indicated that no considerable change of surface morphology occurred up to 3 minutes of treatment time, but a considerable uneven of surface structure resulted from treating time after 5 minutes.

A bifunctional glycoside hydrolase GH78 from the ascomycete Xylaria polymorpha (XpoGH78) possesses catalytic versatility towards both glycosides and esters, which may be advantageous for the efficient degradation of the plant cell-wall complex that contains both diverse sugar residues and esterified structures. The contribution of XpoGH78 to the conversion of lignocellulosic materials without any chemical pretreatment to release the water-soluble aromatic fragments, carbohydrates, and methanol was studied. The disintegrating effect of enzymatic lignocellulose treatment can be significantly improved by using different kinds of hydrolases and phenoloxidases. The considerable changes in low (3 kDa), medium (30 kDa), and high (> 200 kDa) aromatic fragments were observed after the treatment with XpoGH78 alone or with this potent cocktail. Synergistic conversion of rape straw also resulted in a release of 17.3 mg of total carbohydrates (e.g., arabinose, galactose, glucose, mannose, xylose) per gram of substrate after incubating for 72 h. Moreover, the treatment of rape straw with XpoGH78 led to a marginal methanol release of approximately 17 ㎍/g and improved to 270 ㎍/g by cooperation with the above accessory enzymes. In the case of beech wood conversion, the combined catalysis by XpoGH78 and laccase caused an effect comparable with that of fungal strain X. polymorpha in woody cultures concerning the liberation of aromatic lignocellulose fragments.

Commercial PAN fibers were thermally stabilized at 220 or $240^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Those fibers were further stabilized using radio-frequency (RF) capacitive plasma discharge during 5 or 15 min. From Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results, it was observed that an additional plasma treatment led to further stabilization of PAN fibers. After stabilization, carbonization was performed to investigate the final tensile properties of the fabricated carbon fibers (CFs). The results revealed that a combination of thermal and plasma treatment is a possible stabilization process for manufacturing CFs. Morphology of CFs was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The morphology shows that the plasma stabilization performed by the RF large gap plasma discharge may damage the surface of the CF, so it is necessary to select a proper process condition to minimize the damage.

Etch rates and surface chemistry of phenol formaldehyde-based photoresist after short time $O_2\;and\;N_2O$ radio frequency (RF) plasma treatment depending on exposure time were investigated. It was found that the etch rate of photoresist sharply increased after discharge turn on and reached a limit with increase in plasma exposure time in both gases. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis showed that the surface chemical structure become nearly constant after the treatment of 15 sec. Concentration of surface oxygen-containing groups after processing both in oxygen and in $N_2O$ plasmas is similar.

Emissions of diesel vehicles have been regulated by NEDC mode for a long time. However, the NEDC mode has been known the control of emission reduction is not reflected properly on actual road conditions. For these reasons, diesel vehicle emissions are regulated in both NEDC mode and WLTC mode from 2017 to 2020, from 2020 onwards, the emissions of diesel vehicles will measure in WLTC mode only and will not be able to exceed 1.5 times the regulated value. The purpose of this study is to analyze the development trend of diesel vehicle after-treatment system in order to comply with the future regulations on diesel vehicle. As a result, it is essential to reduce the NOx emissions of diesel vehicles for Euro 6, the NOx emissions of the test vehicle equipped with SCR were 30% to 50% loss than the test vehicle equipped with LNT despite the higher curb weight and engine displacement.

어린 싹을 길러 이용하는 채소에 대한 관심이 커지고 있어, 무 싹채소의 생육 증진과 유통 중 나타나는 영향을 검토하고자 CO₂처리 효과를 검토하였다. 본 실험에서는 재배 중 CO₂ 처리를 가스나 탄산수 형태로 하여, 생육뿐만 아니라 수확후 모의유통 중 포장 내의 생체중량 감소, 선도와 hue angle 등 수확후 변화 정도를 조사하였다. 재배 후 수확 시 생육에서 처리 여부에 따라서는 CO₂ 처리가 무처리보다 경장이 약간 길어지는 효과가 있었으며, 엽록소형광이나 SOD 값에서 무처리와 CO₂ 처리가 다소 다른 경향을 보였다. 그러나 CO₂ 처리 방법 간의 차이를 언급하기는 어려워 탄산가스 대신 탄산수 이용의 가능성을 보였다. 수확 후 포장 내의 CO₂ 처리로 인해 무 싹채소의 O₂ 소모가 크고 CO₂ 축적 정도가 다소 높아졌으며, 모의유통 중에 수확전 CO₂ 처리가 hue angle 값을 비롯하여 SPAD, 외관 등에서 낮은 수치를 보여주었다. 그러나 CO₂ 처리 방법 간에는 큰 차이를 보이지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 무 싹채소의 재배 중 CO₂ 처리에 의한 처리가 경경 등의 생육량을 증가시키나, 모의유통 시 수확후 선도 유지의 효과가 크지 않아, 재배 중 다른 방법을 통한 품질을 개선할 수 있도록 연구가 더 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

광펄스 처리는 식품의 표면에 오염되어 있는 미생물을 사멸시켜 식품의 저장성을 향상시킬 수 있는 비가열 살균 기술이지만 신선식품에 대한 미생물 사멸이나 이화학적 변화에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 실험은 광펄스 처리가 파프리카의 미생물 감균효과와 이화학적 품질 변화에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 파프리카에 존재하는 미생물은 1000 V, 5 pps로 10분간 광펄스 처리 후 약 90%정도의 사멸 효과를 보였으며, 미생물 감소효과는 파프리카의 색에 따른 차이는 없었다. 수분함량도 광펄스 처리 후에 모든 시료에서 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그러나 당도는 붉은색 파프리카를 제외하고 다른 처리구에서 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. pH는 광펄스 처리 후 모두 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 폴리페놀의 함량은 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 그 차이는 미미하였다. 비타민 C의 함량은 노란색과 붉은색 파프리카에서 광펄스 처리 후 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 광펄스 처리 후 색의 변화를 보면 붉은 색 파프리카의 경우에는 L, a, b값이 모두 증가하였으며, 주황색 파프리카는 모두 감소하였고, 노란색은 큰 변화를 보이지 않았다. 광펄스 기술에 의한 파프리카의 처리는 품질의 변화를 크게 일으키지는 않으면서 파프리카에 존재하는 미생물을 사멸하는 효과를 보여 향후 파프리카의 유통이나 저장에 있어 파프리카의 살균 기술로서의 가능성을 보였다.
