Luminous traffic safety mark is restricted to use only the place that has a thick fog, many night traffic accidents, limited field of view due to structure of road. Recently, LEDs are used for luminous traffic safety mark, but we propose an organic LED for a novel luminous traffic safety mark in the near future. The device structure was $ITO/2-TNATA(500{\AA})/{\alpha}-NPD(200{\AA})/DPVBi(300{\AA})/BCP(10{\AA})/Alq_3(200{\AA})/LiF(10{\AA})/Al:Li(1000{\AA})$. The characteristics of the device are most efficient on occasion of using $N_2$ gas plasma treatment. Current density is $240.71mA/cm^2$ luminance $10,550cd/m^2$, and current efficiency 3.53cd/A at an applied voltage of 10V. The maximum EL wavelength of the fabricated blue organic light-emitting device is 456nm. CIE color coordinates are x=0.1449 and y=0.1633, which is similar to NTSC deep-blue color with CIE color coordinates of x=0.14 and y=0.08.

Waxes currently used as a coating material to preserve surfaces of outdoor iron sculptures tend to face lower coating strength and efflorescence due to the aging from air pollution and acid rains. Consequently, they are subjected to repeated corrosions shortly after the treatment. And the sculptures face the problem losing their original nature because of the changes of colors and lusters, so this convergence study aims at developing wax with better performance than the existing materials. For this reason, the study identified the effects of physical property using the environmental experiments such as the tests of salt spray and gas corrosion as well as the analysis of luster level and thermo-gravimetry. As this study result, the developed ISC wax showed the excellent blocking effect from salt water and coating durability more than five times compared with the existing waxes, better acid resistance by two-four times, sun block effect by 2-10 times, improved luster variance by 3-16 times, improved thermo-stability and durability by 0.5-5 times, and therefore demonstrating far better coating effect than the existing waxes. In the light of these findings, this study contributes for this new development which can replace the existing waxes used so far in order to preserve the outdoor iron sculptures.

In order to establish predicted normal values of volume of isoflow($V_{iso}\dot{V}$), $V_{iso}\dot{V}$ were measured in a total 234 healthy adults, consisting of 78 male nonsmokers, 108 male smokers and 48 female nonsmokers. The volumes of isoflow were determined through analysis of maximal expiratory flow volume curves recorded with a mixture of 80% helium and 20% oxygen(He-$O_2$ gas) following one(1VC) and three vital capacity(3VC) maneuver and with room air. Based upon the correlation of the observed values of the parameters to age and physical characteristics, the following regression formulars for the prediction of the parameters, using age in year(A) as a variable, were obtained. 1VC method ($V_{iso}\dot{V}_1$) Male smoker : 0.614A+2.347 Male nonsmoker : 0.370A-2.792 Female nonsmoker : 0.588A-2.459 3VC method ($V_{iso}\dot{V}_3$) Male smoker : 0.467A+1.696 Male nonsmoker : 0.288A-1.538 Female nonsmoker : 0.367A-0.114.

AlN thin films were fabricated by reactive sputtering for the application of MIS devices with Al/AlN/Si structure. It has investigated the surface morphology change, I-V characteristics, C-V characteristics, and chemical composition of AlN films with the intriducing time of hydrogen on the fixed deposition condition(RF power: 150W, sputtering pressure: 5mTorr, flow rate ratio of $Ar/N_2=1$, hydrogen concentration: 5%). By addition of the hydrogen the deposition rate decreased drastically whereas the surface morphology changed little. It has been found from the analysis of I-V and C-V characteristics curves that the films deposited with hydrogen addition in initial stage had lower leakage current density, lower flat band voltage and hystersis profile when compared with those with hydrogen addition in last stage. The oxygen concentration in AlN films decreased with addition of hydrogen gas, which suggesting a profitable role in the insulation and C-V characteristics of AlN films.

The characteristics of volatile flavor compounds of Fuji apples were compared by different extraction methods for information leading to a natural fragrance development. The volatile flavor components of Fuji apples were extracted using simultaneous steam distillation and extraction (SDE), solvent extraction (SE), and solid-phase microextraction (SPME) methods and then analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. A total of 66, 32 and 54 components were identified in SDE, SE and SPME extracts, respectively. (E,E)-$\alpha$-Farnesene, hexanol, butanol, 2-methyl butanol, hexyl hexanoate, hexyl 2-methyl butanoate, hexyl butanoate, and butyl hexanoate were the major flavor components in the extracts by different methods, but the composition of volatiles in the extracts were different. Alcohols and hydrocarbons were the major functional groups in SDE and SE extract whereas esters and hydrocarbons were the major functional groups in SPME extracts. SPME was the most suitable method for analysis of fresh volatiles from Fuji apples.

This paper presents the new cascade liquefaction cycles using $CO_2-C_2H_6-N_2$ and $CO_2-N_2$. The performance and exergy of cascade liquefaction cycles are analyzed using HYSYS software and then confirmed the possibility of these cycles for LNG-FPSO ship. From the comparison of performance and exergy loss of these cycles, the cascade liquefaction cycles using $CO_2-C_2H_6-N_2$ showed higher performance and the cycle using $CO_2-N_2$ presented higher exergy loss. The cascade liquefaction cycle using $CO_2-N_2$ is lower efficiency and higher compressor work compared to the optimized cascade liquefaction cycle using $C_3H_8-C_2H_4-C_1H_4$. But, if the efficiency of $N_2$ cycle in these liquefaction cycles is improved, it is possible to apply the cascade liquefaction cycle using $CO_2-C_2H_6-N_2$ and $CO_2-N_2$ to LNG-FPSO ship due to the simple composition device of these cycles.

A planar solid oxide fuel cell (PSOFC) is studied in its application in a high-temperature stationary power plant. Even though PSOFCs with external reformers are designed for application from the distributed power source to the central power plant, such PSOFCs may sacrifice more system efficiency than internally reformed SOFCs. In this study, modeling of the PSOFC with an external reformer was developed to analyze the feasibility of thermal energy utilization for the external reformer. The PSOFC system model includes the stack, reformer, burner, heat exchanger, blower, pump, PID controller, 3-way valve, reactor, mixer, and steam separator. The model was developed under the Matlab/Simulink environment with Thermolib$^{(R)}$ modules. The model was used to study the system performance according to its configuration. Three configurations of the SOFC system were selected for the comparison of the system performance. The system configuration considered the cathode recirculation, thermal sources for the external reformer, heat-up of operating gases, and condensate anode off-gas for the enhancement of the fuel concentration. The simulation results show that the magnitude of the electric efficiency of the PSOFC system for Case 2 is 12.13% higher than that for Case 1 (reference case), and the thermal efficiency of the PSOFC system for Case 3 is 76.12%, which is the highest of all the cases investigated.

Pt catalyst on carbon black was prepared by colloidal method, ion exchanging method and methanol reducing method. The colloidal method has been used generally. At ion exchanging method, $H^+$ of functional group on carbon surface made by oxidation treatment was exchanged with Pt ion. At methanol reducing method, Pt was impregnated on carbon to reduce by methanol contained with surfactants. With TEM and XRD, Pt particle size impregnated on carbon by various methods was $30{\sim}50{\AA}$. Loading yield was about 100%, loading yield of ion exchanging method was 99.92% by DCP analysis and 99.87% by combustion method. Within 60 hour, current density of oxygen reduction was $460mA/cm^2$ at 0.7V(vs. RHE) at colloidal method. It was the better performance than catalyst prepared by ion exchanging, methanol reducing method. But, it was shown some decrease of performance for long operation time(after 100hour), catalyst prepared by methanol reducing method was shown stable performance.

In this study, the catalytic activity of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was investigated for the decomposition of $NF_3$. Reactions for $NF_3$ decomposition were carried out in the range of reaction temperature of $330{\sim}730^{\circ}C$ and GHSV of $3,000{\sim}15,000mL/g-cat{\cdot}h$ in a fixed-bed catalytic reactor system. Thermal decomposition of $NF_3$ was also performed in order to compare with the catalytic decomposition of $NF_3$. The conversion of $NF_3$ by the catalytic decomposition at $400^{\circ}C$ was four times higher than that of the thermal decomposition. It was confirmed that the reaction behavior of $NF_3$ over ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ exhibited two reaction pathways in the presence of steam. Fluorine in $NF_3$ over ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was chemically absorbed to $AlF_3$ by the gas-solid reaction in the absence of steam. The catalytic decomposition of $NF_3$ occurred by hydrolysis with steam. It was also confirmed by FT-IR analysis that $NF_3$ was completely decomposed to NOx and HF above $500^{\circ}C$.

It is common to analyze volatile organic compound (VOC) or semi-VOC (SVOC) in a sample composed of a complex matrix consisting of multiple components such as bloods through a separation process. Adsorption is a physical phenomenon in which certain components accumulate on the surface of other phases. In order to overcome difficulties in the pretreatment process, an adsorption is frequently used. Solid phase microextraction (SPME) equipment with porous carbon carboxen (CAR) is an example of adsorption application. In this study, the adsorption of 4-octylphenol to carboxen was examined. To do so, the extraction efficiency for such solvents as dichloromethane ($CH_2Cl_2$, DCM), ethylacetate ($CH_3COOC_2H_5$, EA) and diethylether ($C_2H_5OC_2H_5$, $Et_2O$) was studied and also the derivatization reaction for 4-octylphenol with reagents of bistrimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide (BSTFA), methylchloroformate (MCF) and pentafluorobenzylbromide (PFBBr) was compared. The combination of DCM and BSTFA showed good performance thus they were adopted for this study. Thermodynamic adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption process was endothermic and Freundlich isotherm equation was more suitable than Langmuir isotherm. It was also found that the adsorption followed a pseudo-$2^{nd}$ order kinetic model.
