  • YAG:Ce phosphor were prepared in a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) using a $1.5Y_2O_3+2.5Al_2O_3+0.116CeO_2+3.0KClO_3+kCO(NH_2)_2+m(C_2F_4)_n$ precursor mixture. The heat for the combustion propagation was provided by the reaction of a $KClO_3+CO(NH_2)_2+(C_2F_4)n$ mixture. Pure-phase YAG phosphor was synthesized at the combustion temperature of $1210^{\circ}C$ from k=3.6 mole and m=0.3 mole. The as-prepared YAG:Ce phosphor had a particle size of $2-10{\mu}m$. The addition of Teflon to the precursor mixture increased the YAG particle size and its luminescent intensity. The emission peak of the YAG phosphor was blue-shifted with an increase of Teflon concentration.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the anti-cancer effects of different fractions of Astragalus membranaceus (AM) in human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells. Methods: We isolated hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions from crude ethanol extract of AM. The cell death was examined by MTT assay and trypan blue exclusion assay. Apoptosis was detected by DAPI staining, annexin V-PI double staining and cell cycle analysis. The expression of apoptosis-related proteins and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) was examined by western blot. Results: Among various fractions of AM, the ethyl acetate fraction of AM (EAM) showed the strongest cytotoxic effect in NSCLC cells. EAM reduced the cell proliferation in a time- and dose-dependent manner in NSCLC cells. In addition, EAM induced the chromatin condensation, and increased the population of sub-G1 phase and annexin V-positive cells in a time-dependent manner, indicating that EAM induced apoptosis in NSCLC cells. Consistently, EAM enhanced the expression of cleaved caspase-8 and -9, and induced the accumulation of cleaved- poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Among MAPK proteins, only ERK was dephosphorylated by EAM, suggesting that ERK might be related with EAM-induced apoptosis. Conclusion: Our results clearly demonstrate that EAM exhibited anti-cancer effects in NSCLC cells by induction of apoptosis. We provide a valuable evidence which suggests that AM could be a desirable therapeutic option for treatment of NSCLC.

  • Red phosphors, $Sr_2Si_5N_8:Eu^{2+}$, were synthesized as a single-phase crystal structure by optimizing carbon and $Eu^{2+}$ contents in a carbothermal reduction nitridation method. With increasing $Eu^{2+}$ contents, the photoluminescence spectra were red-shifted from 600 nm peak for 1 mol% for to 700 nm for 7 mol%. It was suggested that this red shift is attributed to the energy transfer from one low-energy sited $Eu^{2+}$ (1) to other high-energy sited $Eu^{2+}$ (2). Finally, the best red sample (620 nm emission peak and 80 nm half width for 3 mole% of $Eu^{2+}$) was packaged on a Blue LED together with two additional green and yellow phosphors, the fabricated White LED showed a high color-rendering index of 90 and white color coordinates of x= 0.321 and y = 0.305.

  • Highly self-cleaning thin films of $TiO_2-SiO_2$ co-doped with Ag and F are prepared by the sol-gel method. The asprepared thin films consist of bottom $SiO_2$ and top $TiO_2$ layers which are modified by doping with F, Ag and F-Ag elements. XRD analysis confirms that the prepared thin film is a crystalline anatase phase. UV-vis spectra show that the light absorption of $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films is tuned in the visible region. The self-cleaning properties of the prepared films are evaluated by a water contact angle measurement under UV light irradiation. The photocatalytic performances of the thin films are studied using methylene blue dye under both UV and visible light irradiation. The $Ag-F-TiO_2/SiO_2$ thin films exhibit higher photocatalytic activity under both UV and visible light compared with other samples of pure $TiO_2$, Ag-doped $TiO_2$, and F-doped $TiO_2$ films.

  • We investigate the observational properties of Wolf-Rayet stars, suggest the constraint of their mass-loss rate and apply our results to the observed progenitor candidates of Type Ib/Ic supernovae (iPTF13bvn and SN 2017ein). For this purpose, we adopt the WR star models with various mass-loss rates and wind terminal velocities. We obtain the high resolution spectra of those models at the pre-supernova phase using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN. We verify the optically faint property of SN Ic progenitors and show that the optical faintness is mainly originated by the high effective temperature at the photosphere. We also show that a simple analytic model for WR winds using a constant opacity can roughly predict the photospheric parameters. We show that the change of the mass-loss rate and the terminal wind velocity critically affects the optical luminosity. We find the optical luminosities of SN Ic progenitor models with our fiducial mass-loss rate prescription are fainter than the detection limits. We also suggest the mass-loss rate of WR stars may not exceed 2 times of our fiducial value by comparing our predictions with the detection limit of SN Ib/Ic progenitors. The directly observed progenitor candidate of iPTF13bvn can be explained by our SN Ib progenitor models. We find that the SN 2017ein progenitor candidate is too bright and too blue to be a SN Ic progenitor.

  • Safe radiation management is essential not only for operational nuclear power plants but also for nuclear plants to be decommissioned. When spent nuclear fuel is present on-site, meticulous radiation emergency plans are necessary to ensure safety. In Korea, numerous radiation emergency plans have been established for operational nuclear reactors. These plans delineate distinct response mitigation measures for white, blue, and red emergencies. However, clear regulations are yet to be devised for radiation emergency plans for reactors to be decommission. Therefore, this study investigated the decommissioning plan and status of Kori unit 1 to comprehensively analyze the current status of decommissioning safety in Korea. In this study, radiation emergency plans of decommissioning nuclear power plants abroad were reviewed to confirm radiation emergency action levels. Furthermore, radioactive waste treatment facilities, to be used for decommissioning reactors in Korea were evaluated. Moreover, the study assessed emergency plans (especially, emergency initiating conditions) for operational nuclear power plants in Korea for potential use in the decommissioning phase. This study proposed an emergency initiating condition that can be used for decommissioning reactors in Korea. Considering the anticipated introduction of plasma torch melting facility in Korea, this study examined the conditions of radiation emergency plans can be altered. This study identified effective measures and guidelines for managing radiological emergency initiating conditions, and effective decommissioning of nuclear power plants in Korea.

  • Cyanobacteria와 방선균에 의해 생산되는 대표적 취기물질인 geosmin의 정성 및 정량 분석법을 확립하고, cyanobacteria인 Phormidium sp. NIVA-CYA7의 생장과 geosmin의 생산 및 방출에 영향을 주는 환경요인에 대해 조사하였다. Geosmin의 분석은 전처리과정이 간편하고, purge 시간을 1시간으로 단축한 purge & trap concentrator가 장착된 gas chromatograph로 분석하였다. Phomidium의 생장은 pH 7.9, 온도 $20^{\circ}C$, 광도 120-140 $\mu$E/ $m^(2)$/s, Z8 배지의 배양조건에서 8일까지 유도기를, 이후 14일까지 지수성장기를, 14일 이후에는 정상기를 보였다. 배지내 질소의 농도를 250 $\mu$M에서 100 또는 25 $\mu$M로 감소시켰을 때, Phormidium의 생장은 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 반면에 배지의 인 농도를 25 $\mu$M에서 10 또는 2.5 $\mu$M로 감소시켰을 때, 인의 농도가 감소할수록 생장은 억제되었다. 배지내 인의 농도를 25 $\mu$M에서 10 $\mu$M로 감소시켰을 때, 단위 탄소당 또는 엽록소-$\alpha$당 geosmin의 함량은 각각 35%와 68% 증가하였다. Phormidium의 geosmin함량은 pH 9.4에서 0.0824 $\mu$g/mg C로 pH 6,4m 7.9에 비해 두 배 이상 많았다. 따라서 Phormidium의 geosmin 함량은 생장단계, 인의 농도, pH등에 따라 영향을 받지만, geosmin의 방출은 이들 요인에 의하여 크게 영향받지 않는 것으로 판단된다.

  • Geosmin과 2-methyl isoborneol (2-MIB)는 먹는물에서 불쾌한 맛과 냄새를 일으키는 대표적인 물질이며, 남조류의 대사산물로 흙 냄새나 곰팡이 냄새를 내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이들 물질의 최소감지 농도는 수 ng/L 수준으로, 먹는물의 질을 관리하기 위해서는 극미량까지 분석할 수 있는 분석방법이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 물시료 중의 geosmin과 2-MIB를 headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SMPE) 법과 기체크로마토그래프/질량분석기 (gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer, GC/MS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 방법검출한계는 geosmin과 2-MIB에 대하여 각각 1.072 ng/L, 1.021 ng/L 값을 구할 수 있었으며, 정확도와 정밀도에서도 좋은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 최근 낙동강에서는 남조류에 의한 수화현상이 종종 발생하고 있어, 낙동강을 상수원수로 하는 먹는물의 안정성을 확보하기 위하여 geosmin과 2-MIB의 농도를 조사할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 남조류가 번성한 시기에 낙동강 원수에 대하여 geosmin과 2-MIB의 농도를 조사한 결과, 각각 4~24 ng/L, 6~16 ng/L의 농도로 검출되었다.

  • 다층벽탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)와 titanium(IV) butoxide(TNB) 그리고 silver nitrate($AgNO_3$)를 이용하여 졸-겔법으로 $MWCNT-TiO_2$ 복합체와 $Ag-MWCNT-TiO_2$ 복합체를 제조하였다. 복합체에서의 Ag의 분산 및 구조를 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 투과전자현미경(FE-TEM)으로 관찰하였다. X선 회절 분석기(XRD)를 이용하여 복합체의 패턴을 보았을 때 anatase 결정구조를 확인할 수 있었다. 에너지 분광 분석기(EDX)로 원소성분을 분석한 결과 주요 원소인 C, Ti, O 그리고 Ag가 확인되었다. $TiO_2$ 입자는 MWCNT에 균일하게 분산되었고, Ag 입자는 튜브 표면에 고정되었다. 또한 UV 조사 시간에 따른 메틸렌블루의 분해를 통하여 광촉매 활성평가를 하였다. $Ag-MWCNT-TiO_2$ 복합체는 $MWCNT-TiO_2$ 복합체보다 높은 광분해능을 보였다. Ag의 높은 전도성이 $MWCNT-TiO_2$ 복합체의 광활성을 향상 시킨다는 결과를 나타냈다.

  • 질소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄의 광촉매 특성을 알아보았다. 질소가 도핑된 이산화티타늄에 대하여 자외선 및 가시광선 분위기에서 메틸렌블루 광촉매 분해를 수행하였다. XPS 분석을 통해 제조한 $TiO_2$에서 질소(N)가 산소(O)와 치환되었음을 확인하였다. UV-Vis DRS 분석 결과 질소가 도핑된 무정형 $TiO_2$ 시료에서는 가시광선을 거의 흡수하지 않고 자외선을 흡수하는 반면 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 경우 가시광선 흡수가 상당히 증가하였다. 질소가 도핑된 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료는 자외선 및 가시광선 조사에서 메틸렌블루 광분해 반응이 나타났다. 그러나 가시광선 조사에서 분해율은 자외선 조사의 분해율보다 낮았다. 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 경우 자외선과 가시광선 조사에서 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료의 분해율보다 높았다. 이러한 결과는 anatase $TiO_2$ 시료에 비해 3배 정도 큰 무정형/anatase 혼재 $TiO_2$ 시료의 높은 표면적이 질소 도핑된 작은 anatase 입자와 관련이 있음을 보여준다.
