PACVD 방법으로 다이캐스팅용 금형에 적용할 수 있는 TiN 코팅막을 형성시키는 연구를 하였다. 직류 펄스전원을 사용하여 지름이 4 mm인 작은 동공내부에 최고 20 mm 깊이까지 균일한 TiN 코팅층을 형성할 수 있었다. 코팅공정시 발광분광분석기를 사용해 Ti와 $N_{2}$ 및 $Ar^{+}$의 분광선을 측정함으로써 TiN 코팅막의 형성기구에 대하여 고찰하였다. 듀티비율이 50% 이상인 경우는 Ti, $N_{2}^{+}$ 및 $Ar^{+ }$ 의 분광선이 나타났으나, 듀터비율이 28.6%이하인 경우 분광선이 전혀 나타나지 않았으며 TiN 코팅층의 형성도 불안정하였다. 펄스전원으로 Bipolar로 사용한 경우 Unipolar를 사용한 경우보다 지름이 4 mm인 구멍에서 2배 깊게 코팅되었다.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal ions of alloys and use the results as the dental health data. These were performed by examining the corrosion levels of Co-Cr alloys for the full and removable partial denture metal frameworks and porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, among the dental casting nonprecious alloys. Methods: The alloy specimens (N = 10) were manufactured in $15mm{\times}10mm{\times}1.2mm$ and stored in two types of corrosive solutions at $37^{\circ}C$ for seven days. The metal ions were quantitatively analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Results: Of the three Co-Cr alloys, the Co ion concentration of the porcelain-fused-to-metal alloy was 1.512 ${\mu}g/cm^2$, which indicated the highest metal ion dissolution. The metal corrosion was higher in the more acidic pH 2.2 solution compared with the pH 4.4 solution. In all three Co-Cr alloys, Co ion dissolution was predominant in the two corrosive solutions. Conclusion: The corrosion resistance of the three Co-Cr alloys was high, indicating a good biocompatibility.

Twenty-nine Korean wheat cultivars were analyzed for 8 important minerals (Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ca, K, Mg and P) using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). A hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was applied to classify wheat cultivars, which has a similarity in mineral compositions. The concentration ranges of the micro-minerals Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn: 0.12~0.71 mg/100 g, 2.89~5.89 mg/100 g, 1.65~4.48 mg/100 g, and 2.58~6.68 mg/100 g, respectively. The content ranges of the macro-minerals Ca, K, Mg and P: 31.3~46.3 mg/100 g, 288.2~383.3 mg/100 g, 113.6~168.6 mg/100 g, and 286.2~416.5 mg/100 g, respectively. The HCA grouped 6 clusters from all wheat samples and a significant variance was observed in the mineral composition of each group. Among the 6 clusters, the second group was high in Fe and Ca, whereas the fourth group had high Cu, Mn and K concentrations; the fifth cluster was high in Zn, Mg and P. The variation in mineral compositions in Korean wheat cultivars can be used in the wheat breeding program to develop a new wheat cultivar with high mineral content, thus to improve the nutritional profile of wheat grains.

Refuse-derived fuel (RDF) produced using municipal solid waste was pyrolyzed to produce RDF char. For the first time, the RDF char was used to remove aqueous copper, a representative heavy metal water pollutant. Activation of the RDF char using steam and KOH treatments was performed to change the specific surface area, pore volume, and the metal cation quantity of the char. N₂ sorption, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the char. The optimum pH for copper removal was shown to be 5.5, and the steam-treated char displayed the best copper removal capability. Ion exchange between copper ions and alkali/alkaline metal cations was the most important mechanism of copper removal by RDF char, followed by adsorption on functional groups existing on the char surface. The copper adsorption behavior was represented well by a pseudo-second-order kinetics model and the Langmuir isotherm. The maximum copper removal capacity was determined to be 38.17 mg/g, which is larger than those of other low-cost char adsorbents reported previously.

NiTi alloy has been used for orthodontic wire due to good mechanical properties, such as elastic strength and frictional resistance, combined with a high resistance to corrosion. Recently, these wire were coated by polymer and ceramic materials for aesthetics. The purpose of this study was to investigate surface characteristics of polymer coated NiTi alloy wire for orthodontics using various instruments. Wires (round type and rectangular type) were used, respectively, for experiment. Polymer coating was carried out for wire. Specimen was investigated with field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDS) and atomic force microscopy(AFM). The phase transformation of non-coated NiTi wire from martensite to austenite occurred at the range of $14{\sim}15^{\circ}C$, in the case of coated wire, it occurred at the range of $16{\sim}18^{\circ}C$. Polymer coating on NiTi wire surface decreased the surface defects such as scratch which was formed at severe machined surface. From the AFM results, the average surface roughness of non-coated and coated NiTi wire was 13.1 nm, and 224.5 nm, respectively. From convetional surface roughness test, the average surface roughness of non-coated and coated NiTi wire was $0.046{\mu}m$, and $0.718{\mu}m$, respectively.

In the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ${\alpha}$-amylase (BAA), the loop (residues 176-185; region I) that is the part of the calcium-binding site (CaI, II) has two more amino acid residues than the ${\alpha}$-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis (BLA). Arg176 in this region makes an ionic interaction with Glu126 from region II (residues 118-130), but this interaction is lost in BLA owing to substitution of R176Q and E126V. The goal of the present work was to quantitatively estimate the effect of ionic interaction on the overall stability of the enzyme. To clarify the functional and structural significance of the corresponding salt bridge, Glu126 was deleted (${\Delta}$E126) and converted to Val (E126V), Asp (E126D), and Lys (E126K) by site-directed mutagenesis. Kinetic constants, thermodynamic parameters, and structural changes were examined for the wild-type and mutated forms using UV-visible, atomic absoption, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Wild-type exhibited higher $k_{cat}$ and $K_m$ but lower catalytic efficiency than the mutant enzymes. A decreased thermostability and an increased flexibility were also found in all of the mutant enzymes when compared with the wild-type. Additionally, the calcium content of the wild-type was more than ${\Delta}E126$. Thus, it may be suggested that ionic interaction could decrease the mobility of the discussed region, prevent the diffusion of cations, and improve the thermostability of the whole enzyme. Based on these observations, the contribution of loop destabilization may be compensated by the formation of a salt bridge that has been used as an evolutionary mechanism or structural adaptation by the mesophilic enzyme.

Barium titanate 및 PZT와 같은 세라믹 축전물질의 분석을 위해 고압 산분해법을 이용한 시료 전처리 기술을 연구하였다. 질산이나 증류수를 첨가하고 염산의 농도를 변화시키면서, 이들 시료의 정량분석을 유도결합 플라즈마 방출분광법에 의해 수행하였다. 분석 결과를 보면 Ba, Mn, Zn, Si 등 대부분의 원소들은 염산의 농도에 영향을 받지 않으나, Nb와 Zr은 이에 민감한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 그러나 분해시간은 상대적으로 분석 결과에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. Nb의 경우에는 가장 좋은 분석 결과를 얻기 위해 염산과 증류수의 비가 3:1(v / v) 보다는 더 진해야 함을 알았다. 또한 Pb의 분석에 있어서 염산과 질산의 혼산을 사용하는 경우보다 붉은 염산만을 사용하였을 경우에 더 좋은 분석 결과를 나타내었다.

전기안전 측면에서 전기설비의 환경영향을 평가하고 국내규정에 맞도록 개선하기 위한 검토가 필요하다. 본 논문은 분진발생지역에서 현장실측과 분석을 통해 위험성을 평가하였다. 분진은 절연재료 표면에 부착되어 사고의 원인이 된다. 분진에 의한 전기사고의 메커니즘에 있어서 분진이 전기설비에 쌓이던, 누설전류가 흐르고, 표면이 탄화된다. 이후 줄열에 의해 전기화재가 발생한다. 실태조사결과, 보호 장치 또는 분전함에서 분진이 발견되었으며, 포집된 분진은 포집량과 도전율이 각각 달랐다. ICP-AES에 있어서 대체로 나트륨성분이 검출되었고 고무재생공장의 경우에는 아연과 칼슘성분이 검출되었다. 하수처리장에서는 나트륨, 마그네슘, 철, 칼슘, 알루미늄 등의 성분이 검출되었다. 따라서, 현장실측과 분진의 분석은 분진발생지역에서의 전기적 위험성 평가의 중요한 자료가 될 것이다.

A phosphor for Plasma Display Panel, BaMgAl$_{10}$ O$_{17}$ :Eu$^{2+}$, showing a blue emission band at about 450nm was prepared by a solid-state reaction using BaCO$_3$, $Al_2$O$_3$, MgO, Eu$_2$O$_3$ as starting materials wish flux AlF$_3$. The study of the behaviour of Eu in BAM phosphor was carried out by the photoluminescence spectra and the Rietveld method with X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data to refine the structural parameters such as lattice constants, the valence state of Eu, the preferential site of Mg atom and the site fraction of each atom. The phenomenon of the concentration quenching was abound 2.25~2.3wt% of Eu due to a decrease in the critical distance for energy transfer of inter-atomic Eu. Through the combined Rietveld refinement, R-factor, R$_{wp}$, was 8.11%, and the occupancy of Eu and Mg was 0.0882 and 0.526 at critical concentration. The critical distance of Eu$^{2+}$ in BAM was 18.8$\AA$ at 2.25% Eu of the concentration quenching. Furthermore, c/a ratio was decreased to 3.0wt% and no more change was observed over that concentration. The maximum entropy electron density was found that the modeling of $\beta$-alumina structure in BaMgAl$_{10}$ O$_{17}$ :Eu$^{2+}$correct coincided showing Ba, Eu, O atoms of z= 1/4 mirror plane.e.ane.e.

In this paper, we investigated impurities content and thermal properties showing by changing the content of carbon black which is semiconductive materials for underground power transmission. Specimens were made of sheet form with the three of existing resins and the nine of specimens for measurement. Impurities content of specimens was measured by ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer), and density of specimens were measured by density meter. And then heat capacity(${\Delta}H$) and melting temperature(Tm), specific heat(Cp) were measured by DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The dimension of measurement temperature was $0[^{\circ}C]\;to\;200[^{\circ}C]$, and rising temperature was $4[^{\circ}C/min]$. Impurities content was highly measured according to increasing the content of carbon black from this experimental result also density was increased according to these properties. Specially, impurities content values of the A1 and A2 of existing resins were measured more than 4000[ppm]. Heat capacity, melting temperature, and specific heat from the DSC results were simultaneously decreased according to increasing the content of carbon black. Because metallic impurities of carbon black having Fe, Co, Mn, A1 and Zn are rapidly passed kinetic energy increasing the number of times breaking during the unit time with the near particles according to increasing vibration of particles by the applied heat energy.
