Soluble solids $(^{\circ}Brix)$, acid content and vitamin C content of Citrus miyakawa unshiu and C. okitsu unshiu juice harvested middle of November 1993 in Seuho-Dong and Topyung-Dong, Seogwipo-si, south area of Cheju were $10.7{\sim}11.0$, 1.04% and $41.19{\sim}44.94\;mg/100\;g$ juice, respectively. Carbohydrate was consisted of about 1/2 sucrose, 1/4 glucose, and 1/4 fructose. Fruit weight, peel thickness, soluble solids, pH, acid content and Brix/Acid ratio had a good correlation in linear function with increasing fruit size, respectively. However, hardness and edible part ratio were not showed correlation with increasing fruit size. Middle size of citrus fruit was favorable to panelists, and the citrus peel color of red yellow was more favorable than pale yellow color in sensory evaluation. Sensory evaluation score showed a linear correlation among citrus fruits of C. okitsu unshiu produced in Namwon-ri, Seuho-Dong, Seogwipo-si, south area of Cheju, and that of Chochun-ri, Ara-Dong, Cheju-si, north area of Cheju, and the score was higher according to citrus fruit produced in optimum cultivation area. With increasing Brix/Acid ratio of citrus juice, high sensory evaluation score was gained in panelists. These data obtained are supposed to be applied to the quality evaluation of Citrus unshiu produced in Cheju.

This study was conducted to improve the recycling process of waste fluorescent lamp, and investigate the possibility of using the waste fluorescent lamp glass as a raw material for glass beads, the leaching method of rare earth from the waste phosphor powder, and the possibility of solvent extraction of rare earth from the rare earth leaching solution. The waste phosphor contained 28.9% yttrium oxide, 3.46% cerium oxide, 1.95% europium oxide, 1.76% terbium oxide, and 1.43% lanthanum oxide. As a result of the trial production of glass beads using waste fluorescent lamp glass, it was judged that the production yield and quality were excellent, so that waste fluorescent lamp glass could be used as a raw material for glass beads. The soda roasted waste phosphor was leached in water and thereby the aqueous solution was blown with CO₂ to drop the pH to about 7, Then, Al, Si and residual N₂CO₃ were dissolved, and NaAlCO₃(OH)₂ and SiO₂ were precipitated in the aqueous solution. In the solvent extraction of cyanex272-hydrochloric acid, cyanex272-sulfuric acid, D2EHPA-hydrochloric acid, D2EHPA-sulfuric acid, Ionquest290-hydrochloric acid, Ionquest290-sulfuric acid, p507-hydrochloric acid using xylene as a diluent, the extraction yield of Y, Eu, Ce, La, and Tb are close to 100%. However, in this conditions, the difference in extraction yield for each element, that is, selectivity is 16% or less.

Upon the combustion of coal particles in a coal-fired power plant, fly ash (80%) and bottom ash (20%) are unavoidably produced. Most of the ashes are, however, just dumped onto a landfill site. When the landfill site that takes the fly ash and bottom ash is saturated, further operation of the coal-fired power plant might be discontinued unless a new alternative landfill site is prepared. In this study, wet flotation separation system (floating process) was employed in order to recover unburned carbon (UC), ceramic microsphere (CM) and cleaned ash (CA), all of which serving as useful components within fly ash. The average recovered fractions of UC, CM, and CA from fly ash were 92.10, 75.75, and 69.71, respectively, while the recovered fractions of UC were higher than those of CM and CA by 16% and 22%, respectively. The combustible component (CC) within the recovered UC possessed a weight percentage as high as 52.54wt%, whereas the burning heat of UC was estimated to be $4,232kcal\;kg^{-1}$. As more carbon-containing UC is recovered from fly ash, UC is expected to be used successfully as an industrial fuel. Owing to the effects of pH, more efficient chemical separations of CM and CA, rather than UC, were obtained. The average $SiO_2$ contents within the separated CM and CA had a value of 53.55wt% and 78.66wt%, respectively, which is indicative of their plausible future application as industrial materials in many fields.

In this paper, mechanical and short-term durability properties of fly ash and slag based geopolymer concretes (FAGPC-SGPC) were investigated. The alkaline solution was prepared with a mixture of sodium silicate solution ($Na_2SiO_3$) and sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH) for geopolymer concretes. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) concrete was also produced for comparison. Main objective of the study was to examine the usability of geopolymer concretes instead of the ordinary Portland cement concrete for structural use. In addition to this, this study was aimed to make a contribution to standardization process of the geopolymer concretes in the construction industry. For this purpose; SGPC, FAGPC and OPC specimens were exposed to sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$), magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4$) and sea water (NaCl) solutions with concentrations of 5%, 5% and 3.5%, respectively. Visual inspection and weight change of the specimens were evaluated in terms of durability aspects. For the mechanical aspects; compression, splitting tensile and flexural strength tests were conducted before and after the chemical attacks to investigate the residual mechanical strengths of geopolymer concretes under chemical attacks. Results indicated that SGPC (100% slag) is stronger and durable than the FAGPC due to more stable and strong cross-linked alumina-silicate polymer structure. In addition, FAGPC specimens (100% fly ash) showed better durability resistance than the OPC specimens. However, FAGPC specimens (100% fly ash) demonstrated lower mechanical performance as compared to OPC specimens due to low reactivity of fly ash particles, low amount of calcium and more porous structure. Among the chemical environments, sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$) was most dangerous environment for all concrete types.

Nanometric crystalline silicon (no-Si) embedded in dielectric medium has been paid attention as an efficient light emitting center for more than a decade. In nc-Si, excitonic electron-hole pairs are considered to attribute to radiative recombination. However the surface defects surrounding no-Si is one of non-radiative decay paths competing with the radiative band edge transition, ultimately which makes the emission efficiency of no-Si very poor. In order to passivate those defects - dangling bonds in the $Si:SiO_2$ interface, hydrogen is usually utilized. The luminescence yield from no-Si is dramatically enhanced by defect termination. However due to relatively high mobility of hydrogen in a matrix, hydrogen-terminated no-Si may no longer sustain the enhancement effect on subsequent thermal processes. Therefore instead of easily reversible hydrogen, phosphorus was introduced by ion implantation, expecting to have the same enhancement effect and to be more resistive against succeeding thermal treatments. Samples were Prepared by 400 keV Si implantation with doses of $1\times10^{17}\;Si/cm^2$ and by multi-energy Phosphorus implantation to make relatively uniform phosphorus concentration in the region where implanted Si ions are distributed. Crystalline silicon was precipitated by annealing at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in Ar environment and subsequent annealing were performed for an hour in Ar at a few temperature stages up to $1,000^{\circ}C$ to show improved thermal resistance. Experimental data such as enhancement effect of PL yield, decay time, peak shift for the phosphorus implanted nc-Si are shown, and the possible mechanisms are discussed as well.

In situ chemical oxidations (ISCO) are technologies for destruction of many contaminants in soil and groundwater, and persulfate has been recently studied as an alternative ISCO oxidant. Trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE) were chosen for target organic compounds. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the influence of initial pH (3, 6, 9, 12), oxidant concentrations (0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 M), and contaminants concentrations (10, 30, 50, 70, 100 mg/L) on TCE/PCE degradation by persulfate oxidation. The maximum TCE/PCE degradation occurred at pH 3, and the removal efficiencies with this pH condition were 93.2 and 89.3%, respectively. The minimum TCE/PCE degradation occurred at pH 12, and the removal efficiencies were 55.0 and 31.2%, respectively. This indicated that degradation of TCE/PCE decreased with increasing the initial pH of solution. Degradation of TCE/PCE increased with increasing the concentration of persulfate and with decreasing the concentration of contaminants (TCE/PCE). The optimum conditions for TCE/PCE degradation were pH 3, 0.5 M of persulfate solution, and 10 mg/L of contaminant concentration. At these conditions, the first-order rate constants ($k_{obs}$) for TCE and PCE were 1.04 and 1.31 $h^{-1}$, respectively.

금속-산화막-반도체(MOS) 소자를 이용하는 집적회로의 발전은 게이트 금속의 규격 감소를 필요로 한다. 규격감소에 따른 저항 증가가 중요한 문제점으로 대두되었으며, 그동안 여러 연구자들에 의하여 금속 게이트에 관련된 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 특히 저항이 낮으며 녹는점이 매우 높은 내화성금속(refractory metal)인 텅스텐(tungsten, W)이 차세대 MOS 소자의 유력한 대체 게이트 금속으로 제안되었다. 텅스텐은 스퍼터링(sputtering)과 화학기상 증착(CVD) 방식을 이용하여 성장시킬 수 있다. 스퍼터링에 의한 텅스텐 증착은 산화막과의 접착성은 우수한 반면에 증착과정 동안에 게이트 산화막(SiO2)에 손상을 주어 게이트 산화막의 특성을 열화시킬 수 있다. 반면, 화학기상 증차에 의한 텅스텐 성장은 스퍼터링보다 증착막의 저항이 상대적으로 낮으나 산화막과의 접착성이 좋지 않은 문제를 해결하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 감압 화학기상 증착(LPCVD)방식을 이용하여 텅스텐 게이트 금속을 100~150$\AA$ 두께의 게이트 산화막(SiO2 또는 N2O 질화막)위에 증착하여 물리 및 전기적 특성을 분석하였다. 물리적 분석을 위하여 XRD, SEM 및 저항등이 증착 조건에 따라서 측정되었으며, 텅스텐 게이트로 구성된 MOS 캐패시터를 제작하여 절연 파괴 강도, 전하 포획 메커니즘 등과 같은 전기적 특성 분석을 실시하였다. 특히 텅스텐의 접착성을 증착조건의 변화에 따라서 분석하였다. 텅스텐 박막의 SiO2와의 접착성은 스카치 테이프 테스트를 실시하여 조사되었고, 증착시의 기판의 온도에 민감하게 반응하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 40$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 안정한 것을 볼 수 있었다. 텅스텐 박막은 $\alpha$ 및 $\beta$-W 구조를 가질 수 있으나 본 연구에서 성장된 텅스텐은 $\alpha$-W 구조를 가지는 것을 XRD 측정으로 확인하였다. 성장된 텅스텐 박막의 저항은 구조에 따라서 변화되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 증착조건에 따른 저항의 변화는 SiH4 대 WF6의 가스비, 증착온도에 따라서 변화하였다. 특히 온도가 40$0^{\circ}C$ 이상, SiH4/WF6의 비가 0.2일 경우 텅스텐을 증착시킨 후에 열처리를 거치지 않은 경우에도 기존에 발표된 저항률인 10$\mu$$\Omega$.cm 대의 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 산화막과의 접착성 문제를 해결하고 낮은 저항을 얻을 수 있었으나, 텅스텐 박막의 성장과정에 의한 게이트 산화막의 열화는 심각학 문제를 야기하였다. 즉, LPCVD 과정에서 발생한 불소 또는 불소 화합물이 게이트의 산화막에 결함을 발생시킴을 확인하였다. 향후, 불소에 의한 게이트 산화막의 열화를 최소화시킬 수 있는 공정 조건의 최저고하 또는 대체게이트 산화막이 적용될 경우, 개발된 연구 결과를 산업체로 이전할 수 있는 가능성이 높을 것을 기대된다.

Stress may be defined as any modification of environmental parameters that leads to a response by biological organisms. Stresses that affect biolpgical structures may be nonthermal, such as ultraviolet radiation, pH, or salinity, or thermal. Temperture is one of the major stresses that all living organism face. The major effects of cold(low emperature) are decrease of membrane fluidity and the stabilization of secondary structures of RNA and DNA in the cells, which may effect the efficiency of translation, transcription, and DNA replication. In this study, we focus on discovering the genes that are expressed by the cold(low temperature) stress in the silkworm. In cold(low temperature) stress test, we found 100% survive from cold stress at $0^{\circ}C$ up to 12h and $-5^{\circ}C$ up to 2h, and then, survive rate was rapidly decrease in silkworm. Thereafter two whole genes have selected by SSH(Suppression subtractive hybridization). (GenBank accession : GQ149511, GQ338156)

보론이 도핑된 $3{\times}3cm$ 크기의 p 형 다결정 실리콘 기판의 표면을 경면연마한 후, 다이아몬드 입자의 seeding을 위해 슬러리 중 다이아몬드 분말의 입도를 5 nm로 고정하고 초음파 전처리 공정을 진행한 후, 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하였다. 다이아몬드 증착은 Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition 장비를 이용하였으며, 공정 조건은 초기 진공 $10{\times}10^{-3}Torr$, 공정 가스 비율 $Ar:CH_4=200:2$, 가스 유량 202 sccm, 공정압력 90 Torr, 마이크로웨이브 파워 600 W, 기판 온도 $600^{\circ}C$이었다. 기판에 DC bias 전압을 인가하는 것을 공정 변수로 하여 0, -50, -100, -150, -200 V로 변화시켜가며, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h 동안 증착을 진행하였다. 주사전자현미경과 XRD, AFM, 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 증착된 다이아몬드 입자와 막의 특성을 분석하였다. 각 bias 조건에서 초기에는 다이아몬드 입자가 형성되어 성장되었다가 시간이 증가될수록 연속적인 다이아몬드 막이 형성되었다. Table 1은 각 bias 조건에서 증착 시간을 4 h까지 변화시키면서 얻은 다이아몬드 입자 또는 박막의 높이(두께)를 나타낸 것이다. 2 h까지의 공정 초기에는 bias 조건의 영향을 파악하기 어려운데, 이는 bias에 의한 과도한 이온포격으로 입자가 박막으로의 성장에 저해를 받는 것으로 사료된다. 증착시간이 4 h가 경과하면서 -150 V 조건에서 가장 두꺼운 막이 성장되었다. 이는 기판 표면을 덮은 다이아몬드 박막 위에서 이차 핵생성이 bias에 의해 촉진되기 때문으로 해석된다. -200 V의 조건에서는 오히려 막의 성장이 더 느렸는데, 이는 Fig. 1에 보이듯이 과도한 이온포격으로 Si/diamond 계면에서 기공이 형성된 것과 연관이 있는 것으로 보인다.

In Li0.4Ca0.05AlP0.5Si0.75O4.5 composition glass, glass-ceramic having a near 100% crystallinity after nucleation heat treatment of 74$0^{\circ}C$/2 h and crystallization heat treatment of 90$0^{\circ}C$/2 h and in-situ TiO2 whisker reinforced glass-ceramic after heat treatment of 105$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 h were fabricated with the addition of 4% TiO2 as a nucleating agent. With these materials a ball-on-disc type wear test was conducted in order to examine the effect of TiO2 whisker prepcipitation on ambient and high temperature wear properties of the glass-ceramic. Wear test results indicated that all specimens exhibited micro-fracture wear mechanism in ambient temperature. As temperature increased the wear rates of the materials were increased. However the in-situ TiO2 whisker reinforced glass-ceramic exhibited the lowest wear rate over the test temperature range. This resulted from the improvement of harness and fracture toughness of the material as the glass converted into the glass-ceramic followed by precipitation of TiO2 whiskers throughout the glass-ceramic matrix.
