The formation of the Fe-Al inhibition layer in hot-dip galvanizing is a confusing issue for a long time. This study presents a characterization result on the inhibition layer formed on C-Mn-Cr and C-Mn-Si dual-phase steels after a short time galvanizing. The samples were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 60 s in $N_{2}$-10% $H_{2}$ atmosphere with a dew point of $-30^{\circ}C$, and were then galvanized in a bath containing 0.2 %Al. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was employed for characterization. The TEM electron diffraction shows that only $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$ intermetallic phase was formed. No orientation relationship between the $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$ phase and the steel substrate could be identified. Two peaks of Al 2p photoelectrons, one from metallic aluminum and the other from $Al^{3+}$ ions, were detected in the inhibition layer, indicating that the layer is in fact a mixture of $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$. TEM/EDS analysis verifies the existence of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ in the boundaries of $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$ grains. The nucleation of $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$ and the reduction of the surface oxide probably proceeded concurrently on galvanizing, and the residual oxides prohibited the heteroepitaxial growth of $Fe_{2}Al_{5}$.

The properties of SOFC unit cells manufactured using the decalcomania method were investigated. SOFC unit cell manufacturing using the decalcomania method is a very simple process. In order to minimize the ohmic loss of flattened tube type anode supports of solid oxide fuel cells(SOFC), the cells were fabricated by producing an anode function layer, YSZ electrolyte, LSM electrode, etc., on the supports and laminating them. The influence of these materials on the power output characteristics was studied when laminating the components and laminating the anode function layer between the anode and the electrolyte to improve the output characteristics. Regarding the performance of the SOFC unit cell, the output was 246 $mW/cm^2$ at a temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in the case of not laminating the anode function layer; however, this value was improved by a factor of two to 574 $mW/cm^2$ due to the decrease of the ohmic resistance and polarization resistance of the cell in the case of laminating the anode function layer. The outputs appeared to be as high as 574 and 246 $mW/cm^2$ at a temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in the case of using decalcomania paper when laminating the electrolyte layer using the in dip-coating method; however, the reason for this is that interfacial adhesion was improved due to the dense structure, which leads to a thin thickness of the electrolyte layer.

This study is research on the thermal emissivity depending on the alignment degrees of graphite flakes. Samples were manufactured by a slurry of natural graphite flakes with organic binder and subsequent dip-coating on an aluminum substrate. The alignment degrees were controlled by applying magnetic field strength (0, 1, and 3 kG) to the coated samples. The alignment degree of the sample was measured by XRD. The thermal emissivity was measured by an infrared thermal image camera at $100^{\circ}C$. The alignment degrees were 0.04, 0.11, and 0.17 and the applied magnetic field strengths were 0, 1, and 3 kG, respectively. The thermal emissivities were 0.829, 0.837, and 0.844 and the applying magnetic field strengths were 0, 1, and 3 kG, respectively. In this study the correlation coefficient, $R^2$, between thermal emissivity and alignment degree was 0.997. Therefore, it was concluded that the thermal emissivities are correlated with the alignment degree of the graphite flakes.

Sapwood samples of pitch pine were treated with disodium octaborate alone by dip-diffusion, or in combination with water-repellent preservative(WRP) and methyl metacrylate(MMA). Treated samples were subjected to an accelerated leaching test for determining the improvement of leaching resistance and to soft rot and mold tests for evaluating the increase in bioefficacy, due to the addition of WRP and MMA applied as a second treatment. The addition of WRP and MMA retarded leaching of boron to some extent from treated samples and this retardation can be explained by improved water repellency of WRP and MMA treated samples. Borate /WRP and borate /MMA systems will not qualify borate treated wood for ground and fresh water contact use but may improve performance of borate treated wood in above-ground applications not subjected to continuous wetting conditions. Bioefficacy against soft rot fungi and mold fungi was improved by a second treatment with WRP. However, improvement in the performance of borate /MMA systems was not observed. Considering improvement in both resistance of leaching and bioefficacy against micro fungi by the treatment of WRP and MMA, simultaneously, the dual treatment of borate treated wood by MMA containing co-biocides might be believed as an ideal treatment system.

고분자 마이크로니들은 몰딩 공정으로 쉽고 저렴하게 생산할 수 있지만 3차원 고분자 마이크로 구조체에 수용액 기반의 약물 코팅은 어려움이 있다. 2차원 형태의 평면 금속 마이크로니들에 약물을 코팅한 기존의 코팅 마이크로니들과 비교하여 볼 때 3차원 구조의 고분자 마이크로니들은 코팅 면적이 2배 넓고 단위면적당 마이크로니들의 수를 크게 증가시킴으로써 두 배 이상의 약물을 경피를 통해 전달할 수 있다. 증점제와 계면활성제 첨가 방법의 경우 2차원의 평면에는 균일한 코팅을 얻을 수 있었지만 3차원 구조의 고분자 마이크로니들 표면에서는 만족할 코팅을 얻지 못했다. 하지만, 고분자 마이크로니들 표면을 금속 코팅 혹은 UV/ozone으로 처리한 경우 3차원의 마이크로 니들 표면에 만족할 코팅을 얻을 수 있었으나 금속 코팅의 경우 피부에 찌르고 제거하는 과정에서 금속이 피부 안에 남는 안전성 문제가 있어 UV/ozone을 최종 표면 처리 방법으로 선정하였다. 이렇게 처리한 고분자 마이크로니들 표면에 calcein이 첨가된 코팅물질로 코팅된 마이크로니들은 15분 이상의 피부 투여로 코팅물질을 성공적으로 진피층까지 전달할 수 있었다.

To understand the effects of fluctuations in dam discharge due to river environments and phytoplankton communities, we monitored such environments and phytoplankton communities biweekly, from February 2001 to February 2002 and from February 2004 to February 2005, in the lower Han River (LHR), South Korea. The phytoplankton abundance during the dry season was approximately two times higher than that during the rainy season. In particular, fluctuations in diatom assemblages, which constituted over 70% of the total phytoplankton abundance, were affected severely by the changes in the discharge. When a large quantity of water in a dam was discharged into the LHR, the conductivity and the concentrations of total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased rapidly, whereas the concentrations of suspended solids (SS), dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), and dissolved silica (DSi) increased immediately. Time-delayed relationship also revealed that the dam discharge had an immediately significant negative relationship with phytoplankton abundance. On the whole, fluctuations in phytoplankton communities in the LHR were influenced much more by hydrodynamics such as dam discharge than by the availability of nutrients. Thus, the variability in these concentrations usually parallels the strength of river flow that is associated with summer rainfall, with higher values during periods of high river discharge.

Objective: Different methods have been utilized to prevent enamel demineralization and other complications during orthodontic treatment. However, none of these methods can offer long-lasting and effective prevention of orthodontic complications or interventions after complications occur. Considering the photocatalytic effect of $TiO_2$ on organic compounds, we hoped to synthesize a novel bracket with a $TiO_2$ thin film to develop a photocatalytic antimicrobial effect. Methods: The sol-gel dip coating method was used to prepare $TiO_2$ thin films on ceramic bracket surfaces. Twenty groups of samples were composed according to the experimental parameters. Crystalline structure and surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively; film thickness was examined with a surface ellipsometer. The photocatalytic properties under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation were analyzed by evaluating the degradation ratio of methylene blue (MB) at a certain time. Antibacterial activities of selected thin films were also tested against Lactobacillus acidophilus and Candida albicans. Results: Films with 5 coating layers annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ showed the greatest photocatalytic activity in terms of MB decomposition under UV light irradiation. $TiO_2$ thin films with 5 coating layers annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity under UV-A light irradiation. Conclusions: These results provide promising guidance in prevention of demineralization by increasing antimicrobial activities of film coated brackets.

'대보' 박피밤의 갈변 및 품질에 화학물질(ascorbic acid, citric acid, calcium chloride: 1% 용액)과 물리적(진공포장, $50^{\circ}C$ 증류수) 처리가 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 박피밤 색도의 L값은 모든 처리구에서 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타낸 반면, ${\Delta}E$값은 점차 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 일반포장 처리구가 급격히 색 변화가 일어나는데 비해 화학 및 물리적 처리구는 완만한 변화를 보였다. 특히 calcium chloride 처리구는 색 변화가 거의 일어나지 않았다. 관능적 품질평가 결과, 상품성은 일반포장 처리구가 10일간 유지되었던 반면 화학 및 물리적 처리구들은 35일간 상품성이 유지되었다. 따라서 '대보' 박피밤의 화학 및 물리적 처리는 갈변을 억제시킴으로써 박피밤의 관능적 품질유지에 효과적이였고, 특히 1% calcium chloride 침지 후 진공포장하는 것이 박피밤의 품질유지와 갈변 억제에 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.
