The development of advanced nuclear fuel cycle(ANFC) technology is essential to meet the national mission for energy independence via a nuclear option in Korea. The action target is to develop environmentally friendly, cost-effective measures to reduce the burden of long term disposal. The proper scenarios regarding potential radionuclide release from a repository have been developed in this study based on the advanced korean Reference Disposal System(A-KRS). To predict safety for the various scenarios, a new assessment code based on the GoldSim software has also been developed. Deterministic analysis indicates an environmental benefit from the ANFC as long as the solid waster from the ANFC act as a proper barrier.

High speed machining is a key issue in die and mold manufacturing recently. Even though this technology has great potential of high productivity. tool wear accelerated by high cutting speed to the hardened materials is other barrier. In this research, we attempted to reduce tool wear by considering tool inclination angle between tool and workpiece. The boundary lines describing machined sculptured surfaces were represented by both of cutting envelop condition and the geometric relationship of successive tool paths. Chip cross section, and cutting length could be obtained from the calculated cutting edge and the rotational engagement angle. From the simulation results, machining inclination angle of tool of $15^\circ$ was good enough from the point of tool wear and cutting force, and this value was verified through the cutting experiment of high speed ball end milling.

The adsorption of oxygen on ZnO was monitored by measuring the capacitance of two contacting crystals which have depletion layers originated from the interaction between oxygen and ZnO at 298 K-473 K. An admission of oxygen to the sample induced an irreversible increase in the depth and the amount of adsorbed oxygen was less than 0.001 monolayer in the experimental condition. The relation between pressure of oxygen and variation of the depth was tested from the view point of Langmuir or Freundlich isotherm. Using Hall effect measurement and kinetic experiment, a model equation on the adsorption process was proposed. From the results, it was suggested that oxygen adsorption depended on the rate of electron transfer from ZnO to oxygen while the amount of adsorbed oxygen was kinetically restricted by the height of surface potential barrier.

The effect of surface plasmon on ZTO thin films was investigated. The phenomenon of depletion occurring in the interface of the ZTO thin film created a potential barrier and the dielectric layer of the depletion formed a non-mass particle called plasmon. ZTO thin film represents n-type semiconductor features, and surface current by plasma has been able to obtain the effect of improving electrical efficiency as a result of high current at positive voltage and low current at negative voltage. It can be seen that the reduction of electric charge due to recombination of electronic hole pairs by heat treatment of compound semiconductors induces higher surface current in semiconductor devices.

IGZO thin films were prepared on n-type Si substrates to research the interface characteristics between IGZO and substrate. After the annealing processes, the depletion layer was formed at the interface to make a Schottky contact owing to the electron-hall fair recombination. The carrier density was decreased by the effect of depletion layer and the hall mobility decreased during the deposition processes. But the annealing effect of depletion layer increased the hall mobility because of the increment of potential barrier and the extension of depletion layer. It was confirmed that it is useful to observe the depletion effect and Schottky contact's properties by complementary using the Hall measurement and I-V measurement.

ZTO/n-Si thin film is produced to investigate tunneling phenomena by interface characteristics by the depletion layer. For diversity of the depletion layer, the thin film of ZTO is heat treated after deposition, and the gpolarization is found to change depending on the heat treatment temperature and capacitance. The higher the heat treatment temperature is, the higher the capacitance is, because more charges are formed, the highest at $150^{\circ}C$. The capacitance decreases at $200^{\circ}C$ ZTO heat treated at $150^{\circ}C$ shows tunneling phenomena, with low non-resistance and reduced charge concentration. When the carrier concentration is low and the resistance is low, the depletion layer has an increased potential barrier, which results in a tunneling phenomenon, which results in an increase in current. However, the ZTO thin film with high charge or high resistance shows a Schottky junction feature. The reason for the great capacitance increase is the increased current due to tunneling in the depletion layer.

Gram-negative pathogens, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Acinetobacter baumannii, pose a serious threat to public health worldwide, due to high rates of antibiotic resistance and the lack of development of novel antimicrobial agents targeting Gram-negative bacteria. The outer membrane (OM) of Gram-negative bacteria is a unique architecture that acts as a potent permeability barrier against toxic molecules, such as antibiotics. The OM is composed of phospholipids, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), outer membrane ${\beta}-barrel$ proteins (OMP), and lipoproteins. These components are synthesized in the cytoplasm or in the inner membrane, and are then selectively transported to the OM by the specific transport machines, including the Lol, BAM, and Lpt pathways. In this review, we summarize recent studies on the assembly systems of OM components and analyze studies for the development of inhibitors that target these systems. These analyses show that OM assembly machines have the potential to be a novel attractive drug target of Gram-negative bacteria.

The varistor properties and stability against dc-accelerated stress of $V_2O_5-Mn_3O_4-Co_3O_4-Dy_2O_3-Nb_2O_5-Bi_2O_3$ (VMCDNB)-doped zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $850-925^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Increasing the sintering temperature increased the average grain size from 4.6 to 8.7 mm and decreased the density of the sintered pellet density from 5.54 to $5.42g/cm^3$. The breakdown field decreased from 5919 to 1465 V/cm because of the increase in the average grain size. Zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $875^{\circ}C$ showed the highest nonlinear coefficient (43.6) and the highest potential barrier height (0.96 eV). Zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ showed the highest stability: the variation rate of the breakdown field was -2.0% and the variation rate of the nonlinear coefficient was -23.3%, after application of the specified stress (applied voltage/temperature/time).

This paper determines if mandated alcohol health information labelling could be an obstacle to international trade by discussing international trade rules affecting member nations. WTO members could use alcohol labelling rules to protect human health, reduce the consumption of alcohol and provide product information. When a member uses alcohol labelling as a technical regulation or standard, it should comply with TBT Articles 2.2 and 2.4. If a member uses some specific warning messages for their objectives, it should be considered the contribution of the measure, trade restrictiveness, and alternatives. If WTO members want to employ their own alcohol labelling schemes for addressing carcinogenicity, intoxicating effects, dependence potential, effects on children, adolescents and pregnancy, it could be a technical barrier and also create adverse effects on international trade. Therefore, the harms of alcohol are supported by scientific evidence, and for this reason, the international harmonization for alcohol labelling should be discussed openly to prevent negative effects on trade.

The gas-phase reactions of methyl formate with anions, $-NH_2,\;-OH,\;-CH_2CN$, are studied theoretically using the AM1 method. Stationary points are located by the reaction coordinate method, refined by the gradient norm minimization and characterized by the determination of Hessian matrix. Potential energy profiles and the stationary point structures are presented for all conceivable processes. Four reaction paths are found to be possible: formyl proton and methyl proton abstractions, carbonyl addition, and $S_N2$ process. For the most basic anion $-NH_2$ the proton abstraction path is favored, while in other case, $OH\;and\;-CH_2CN$, the carbonyl addition paths are favored. In all cases the $S_N2$ process is the most exothermic, but due to the relatively high activation barrier the process can be ruled out.
