International efforts to prevent illegally logged wood are expanding around the world. The "Legal Wood Trade Promotion System" was enacted in Korea in 2019 to strengthen the legal import and distribution of commercial wood in Korea. Since then, this system has promoted and ensured that the imported wood and wood products are legal with respect to the country of origin, wood species, and harvested area. As verification methods, DNA analysis technology and anatomical analysis using a microscope are mainly used in conjunction. Therefore, in this study, wood species of plywood were identified by analyzing the anatomical characteristics of various wood products for the first time. Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco.) and larch (Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carriere) plywoods (7, 9 ply) were obtained from four companies that supply plywood in Korea. After cutting each company's plywood to a size of about 1 cm³, the layers from top to bottom were separated into single layers, and three sections were observed using an optical microscope. The results revealed that the plywood was composed of a mixture of softwood and hardwood wood species, pine wood species, poplar wood species, or a mixture of larch and pine wood species. Identification of wood species using microscopy is important and can enable the scientific analysis and verification of various wood products, including plywood, imported from countries where the likelihood of indiscriminate distribution of illegal wood and illegal logging is high.

The purpose of this study is to investigate muscle function and symmetry index during whole body vibration exercise using lower extremity training posture for throwing athletes. For throwing athletes in their 20s(6 males, 4 females, age: 24.60±0.92years, height: 177.90±7.40cm, weight: 92.90±22.97kg), lower extremity training postures with squat, carphrase, and lunge movements. Whole body vibration exercise training was performed using. Tensiomyography(TMG) variables Time Delay(Td), Time Contraction(Tc), Time Sustain(Ts) Time Relaxation(Tr), and Displacement Maximumal(Dm) in the lower extremity joint muscles(biceps femoris(BF), gastrocnemius lateral(GL), gastrocnemius medial(GM), rectus femoris(RF), tibialis anterior(TA), lateral vastus(LV), medial latissimus(ML)), were measured to compare and analyze muscle activity, muscle fatigue, and left-right symmetry. The results of the study are left RF, VL, right VM (p<.05) in Td, VM (p<.05) in Tc, GM in Ts (p<.05), left RF in Tr, and right TA (p<. 05) showed a change. Therefore, it has been proven that various whole-body vibration training is an effective exercise with changes in muscle contraction, and stability of the core is secured by symmetry of the left and right muscles. For this reason, the whole body vibration exercise will have a positive effect on rehabilitation training, and it is believed that it will be able to improve performance.

As the interest and demand in the recycled yarn field has increased rapidly worldwide, domestic companies are also promoting research and development and business on recycled yarn. The chemical and thermal properties of four types of virgin and recycled PET samples from A and B company, which are the leading domestic companies in the recycled polyester yarn business, were confirmed through infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Virgin and recycled PET from two companies were compared. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the typical spectra of PET for both companies and a different peak at 872 cm-1. DSC confirmed that the melting point and crystallization temperature of recycled PET were lower than those of virgin PET. These results indicate that small amounts of contaminants are an important parameter affecting the thermal properties of recycled PET. In the DSC results after seven repeats of the heating and cooling processes, all four samples showed that a lower melting point, crystallization temperature, and low heat flow intensity increased with increasing number of cycles. The results of melting and crystallization enthalpy also showed similar patterns.

When LPG leaks from the storage tank, the gas try to sink to the ground because LPG is heavier than air. The gas easily creates vapor clouds causing aggressive accidents in no airflow. Therefore, It is important to prevent in advance by analyzing the damaged range caused from LPG leakage and vapor clouds. So, this study analyzed the range of damaged by LPG leakage and vapor clouds with consideration of the cold air flow which is generated by the topographical characteristics and the land use status at night time in the Jeju Hagari. As a result of the cold air flow using KLAM_21, about 2 m/s of cold air was introduced in from the southeast due to the influence of the terrain. The range of damaged by LPG leakage and vapor cloud was analyzed using ALOHA. When the leak hole size is 10 cm at the wind speed of 2 m/s, the range corresponding to LEL 60 % (12,600 ppm) was 61 m which range is expected to influence in nearby residential areas. These results of this study can be used as basic data to prepare preventive measures of accidents caused by vapor cloud. Forward, it is necessary to apply CFD modeling such as FLACS to check the vapor cloud formation due to LPG leakage in a relatively narrow area and to check the cause analysis.

In this study, KTN heterolayer thin films were fabricated by alternately stacking films of K(Ta_0.70Nb_0.30)O₃ and K(Ta_0.55Nb_0.45)O₃ synthesized using the sol-gel method. The sintering temperature and time were 750℃ and 1 hour, respectively. All specimens exhibited a polycrystalline pseudo-cubic crystal structure, with a lattice constant of approximately 0.398 nm. The average grain size was around 130~150 nm, indicating relatively uniform sizes regardless of the number of coatings. The average thickness of a single-coated film was approximately 70 nm. The phase transition temperature of the KTN heterolayer films was found to be approximately 8~12℃. Moreover, the 6-coated KTN heterolayer film displayed an excellent dielectric constant of about 11,000. As the number of coatings increased, and consequently the film thickness, the remanent polarization increased, while the coercive field decreased. The 6-coated KTN heterolayer film exhibited a remanent polarization and coercive field of 11.4 μC/cm² and 69.3 kV/cm at room temperature, respectively. ΔT showed the highest value at a temperature slightly above the Curie temperature, and for the 6-coated KTN heterolayer film, the ΔT and ΔT/ΔE were approximately 1.93 K and 0.128×10^-6 K·m/V around 40℃, respectively.

Off-Site Construction (OSC) is a new construction method based on factory production. OSC (Off-Site Construction) is a new construction method based on factory production. Researches such as OSC-related design and production standardization, transport methods are actively conducted in the U.S., UK and other parts of the world as this new method has an edge over existing methods in terms of productivity, economy and quality. As the emergence of this new area requires reasonable management, an analysis of the scope of construction project management is required accordingly. Therefore, this research analyzed the study trends and relationships at the CM/PM range's "Operation level" to identify areas of study, relationship between studies and deficiencies in current research. This study carried out a comprehensive literature review of the OSC (CM/PM) research by analyzing 94 papers in Operation level as of September 3, 2018, and the analysis results are as follows. (1) Working stage level researches have been increasing rapidly since 2006. (2) Non-volumetric type is contributing most significantly at work stage level. In the building sector, it has been identified that problems such as residential: living, quality issues, non-residential: economic difficulties, factory: productivity problems have been addressed. (4) The Non-volumetric pre-assembly type dealt with the economic feasibility of residential and non-residential buildings, whereas the modular type was studied in regards to assembly quality. (5) From 2006, project management areas (e.g., quality, human resources, risks) have been expanded. It is expected that this research will help find new areas of research for OSC. If the analysis is carried out to the level of the industrial, corporate and project phases in the future, it is deemed that the overall research flow and area of the OSC industry can be identified.

건물일체형 태양전지 (BIPV; building integrated photovoltaics)나 야외 태양광 발전 차양 등의 태양광 발전에는 기존의 유리 기판 태양전지보다 가볍고 유연한 flexible 박막 태양전지가 설치하고 운영하는데 적합하다. 이러한 flexible 박막 태양전지는 자동차나 휴대기기의 전원이나 배터리의 충전기기로도 쓰이며 그 수요가 증가 추세에 있다. 특히, flexible Cu(In, Ga)$Se_2$(CIGS) 박막 태양전지는 기존의 flexible 실리콘 박막 태양전지보다 효율이 높아서 앞으로 성장 잠재력이 매우 높다. 세계적으로도 많은 기업이 상용화를 추진하고 있으며, 2007년부터 시장에 진입하고 있다. 그러나 현재의 flexible CIGS 박막 태양전지는 유리 기판 CIGS 박막 태양전지보다 효율이 낮고 패키지를 유리에서 플라스틱으로 대체하기 때문에 수명이 짧다. 또한, 아직도 완전한 양산 체제로 전환이 이루어지지 않았기 때문에 해결해야 할 문제점이 많이 있다. Flexible 기판으로는 스테인리스 스틸이나 폴리머 기판이 사용되는데, 유리 기판에 비해 저가 태양전지를 제조할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 roll-to-roll 공정을 적용할 수 있어 가격 경쟁력을 확보할 수 있다. 특히, 금속 유연기판을 사용할 경우, 유리 기판에 비해 상대적으로 고온 공정이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나, 금속 기판을 사용할 경우 해결해야 할 두 가지 이슈가 있다. 첫째, CIGS 흡수층 형성에 도움을 주는 Na의 공급 문제이다. 유리 기판의 경우 기판에 포함되어 있는 Na이 확산을 통해 공급되지만, 금속 기판의 경우 별도의 Na 공급 방법을 고려해야 한다. 둘째, 불순물 확산 방지막 및 전기 절연층으로 사용되는 유전체 박막의 문제이다. 현재 다양한 금속 산화물 유전체 박막을 사용한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 flexible CIGS 박막 태양전지의 기술적 이슈 및 현재 연구 현황을 살펴보고, 스테인리스 스틸 기판을 이용한 CIGS 박막 태양전지에서 유전체 확산 방지막에 따른 특성을 비교하고자 한다. 스테인리스 스틸 기판의 불순물로부터의 확산을 방지하기 위하여 두 종류(intrinsic ZnO와 SiOx)의 유전체 박막을 각각 Na가 도핑된 Mo층과 스테인리스 스틸 기판 사이에 삽입하여 소자를 제작하였다. 확산 방지막이 없는 경우, SiOx층을 사용한 경우, 그리고 intrinsic ZnO 층을 사용한 경우에, 효율은 각각 7.47, 11.64, and 13.95%로 나타났다. 셀의 크기는 $0.47\;cm^2$이고, 반사방지막은 사용하지 않았다.

태양광 발전산업에서 현재 주류인 결정 실리콘 태양전지의 변환효율은 꾸준히 향상되고 있으나, 태양전지의 가격이 매년 서서히 하강되고 있는 실정에서 결정질 실리콘 가격의 상승 등으로 부가가치 창출에 어려움이 있으며, 생산 원가를 낮출 수 있는 태양전지 제조기술로는 2세대 태양전지로 불리는 박막형이 현재의 대안이며, 특히 에너지 변환 효율과 생산 원가에서 장점이 있는 것이 CIGS 박막 태양전지로 판단된다. 화합물반도체 베이스인 CIGS 박막태양전지는 연구실에서는 세계적으로 20.3% 높은 효율을 보고하고 있으며, 모듈급에서도 13% 효율로 생산이 시작되고 있다. 국내에서도 연구실 규모뿐만 아니라 대면적(모듈급) CIGS 박막 태양전지 증착용 장비, 제조공정 등의 기술개발이 진행되고 있다. CIGSe2를 광흡수층으로 하는 CIGSe2 박막 태양전지의 구조는 여러 층의 단위박막(하부전극, 광흡수층, 버퍼층, 상부투명전극)을 순차적으로 형성시켜 만든다. 이중에 하부전극은 Mo 재료을 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하여 주로 사용한다. 하부전극은 0.24 Ohm/cm2 정도의 전기적 특성이 요구되며, 주상조직으로 성장하여야 하며, 고온 안정성 확보를 위하여 기판과의 밀착성이 좋아야하고 또한 레이저 패턴시 기판에서 잘 떨어져야 하는 특성을 동시에 가져야 한다. 그리고 CIGSe2의 광흡수층 제조시 셀렌화 공정에서 100 nm 이하의 MoSe2 두께를 갖도록 해야하며, 이는 CIGSe2 박막태양전지의 Rs 값을 줄여 Ohmic 접촉을 향상시키는데 기여한다. 본 연구에서는 CIGSe2 박막태양전지에서 요구되는 하부 전극 Mo 박막의 제작과 CIGSe2 박막태양전지 전체공정에 적용후의 MoSe2/Mo 박막특성에 대해서 연구결과들을 논하고자 한다.

A bronchial artery aneurysm is a rare condition, which needs optimal treatment due to the possibility of a life-threatening hemorrhage by rupture. The surgical removal of the aneurysm is the standard treatment. However, there are a few reports of coil embolization with a transcatheter. A 69 year-old man was referred for a further evaluation of a mass in the right hilum on chest radiography. He denied any respiratory symptoms. A chest CT scan showed a $3{\times}3{\times}4.5cm$ sized vascular mass with strong contrast enhancement on the right hilar area that originated from the bronchial artery. On the angiogram, the bronchial artery originated from the descending thoracic aorta at the T8 level. A bronchial artery aneurysm was catheterized selectively. and embolized successfully with a coil. After coil embolization, the selective bronchial arteriography confirmed complete occlusion. We report this case of bronchial aneurysm that was treated successfully with coil embolization.
