Volcanic glass shard, which shows relatively homogeneous chemical composition in volcanic eruption materials, is used to determine ages of tephra layers and then to correlate tephra layers each other for understanding of evolution of Quaternary geomorphology. For reducing processing errors in age determination and correlation of units, amorphous glass shard should be separated carefully from soil sample through laboratory procedures such as washing, separation, and identification. Introduction of these processes in detail could be reduced errors in tephrochronology by using volcanic glass shard.

STJ(Superconducting Tunnel Junction) technique offers next generation photon detectors exhibiting high energy resolution, high quantum efficiency and photon counting ability over the broad wavelength range from X-ray to NIR. We report the succcess in fabrication of Ta/Al-AlOx-Al/Ta and Nb/Al-AlOx-Al/Nb micro structure deposited on sapphire substrates using various techniques including UV photolithography, DC Sputtering, RIE, and PECVD technique. The characterization experiment was undertaken in an Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigerator at an operating temperature below 50mK. The details of experimental investigations for electrical characterization of STJ of $20\sim80{\mu}m$ in side-lengths are discussed. The measured I-V curves were used to derive The detector performance indicators such as energy gap, energy resolution, normal resistance, normal resistivity, dynamic resistance, dynamic resistivity, and quality factor.

In this study, antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of the natural antioxidative compound, pyrogallol-phloroglucinol-6,6'-bieckol (PPB) isolated from brown algae, Ecklonia cava was assessed in vitro by measuring the radical scavenging activities (DPPH, alkyl, hydroxyl, and superoxide) using electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry, intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity, and DNA damage assay. According to the results of these experiments, the scavenging activity PPB against difference radicals was in the following order: DPPH, alkyl, hydroxyl, and superoxide radicals ($IC_{50}$; 0.90, 2.54, 62.93 and $109.05{\mu}M$). The antioxidant activities of PPB were higher than that of the commercial antioxidant, ascorbic acid. Furthermore, PPB effectively inhibited DNA damage induced by $H_2O_2$. These results suggest that the natural antioxidative compound, PPB, can be used by the natural food industry.

This paper presents reference designs for vapor-cooled HTS/Copper leads rated at 25 kA and 40 kA and that satisfy a protection criterion. Each HTS section is cooled by the effluent helium vapor boiling from a 4.2-K bath. Each HTS section is based on a design concept in which a short portion of its warm end (77.3 K) operates in the current-sharing mode; such operation results in a considerable saving for HTS materials required in the HTS section. Two designs of "fully superconducting" vapor-cooled HTS sections, one rated at 25 kA and the other at 40 kA are also presented as comparison bases for the new HTS sections. Each warm end of HTS sections is coupled to an optimal vapor-cooled copper lead rated at the same current as that for the HTS section. The extra coolant required at 77.3 K at the coupling station, an optimal length of the copper section will be shorter than that optimized for helium-vapor cooling between 4.2 K and room temperature.mperature.

The Metal-Insulator-Silicon (MIS) capacitors with $SiO_2$ and high-k dielectric were investigated. The high-k dielectrics were obtained by atomic layer deposit (ALD) system. The electrical characteristics were investigated by measuring the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. The conduction mechanisms were analyzed by using the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot and Direct Tunneling (DT) plot. As a result, the MIS capacitors with high-k dielectrics have lower leakage current densities than conventional tunnel-barrier with $SiO_2$ dielectrics.

We develop a proto-model of an off-axis reflective telescope for infrared wide-field observations based on the design of Schwarzschild-Chang type telescope. With only two mirrors, this design achieves an entrance pupil diameter of 50 mm and an effective focal length of 100 mm. We can apply this design to a mid-infrared telescope with a field of view of $8^{\circ}{\times}8^{\circ}$. In spite of the substantial advantages of off-axis telescopes in the infrared compared to refractive or on-axis reflective telescopes, it is known to be difficult to align the mirrors in off-axis systems because of their asymmetric structures. Off-axis mirrors of our telescope are manufactured at the Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI). We analyze the fabricated mirror surfaces by fitting polynomial functions to the measured data. We accomplish alignment of this two-mirror off-axis system using a ray tracing method. A simple imaging test is performed to compare a pinhole image with a simulated prediction.

The butt joint was verified to satisfy the thermal stability of the ITER magnet system through the ITER CS model coil test. Since the contact area in the butt joint is limited to the cross section of the cable, it is necessary to analyze and control the joining parameters precisely for improving the DC resistance. It is difficult to simulate the cables, which are composed of a lot of strands, as three-dimensional models using the commercial code. The random numbers were used to simulate many kinds of contact patterns of the strands on the bonding surface for calculating the bonding area and the DC resistance of the butt joint. The calculated DC resistance decreases with an increase of cable filling factor in terminal. The calculated DC resistance of a 0.9 cable filling factor is about 0.48 n-Ohm, which is about one-tenth of that in the CS model coil test when not considering the electrical contact resistance. From this difference, the electrical contact resistance between the strands and copper sheet was calculated.

A study on the engineering design and numerical thermo-hydraulic analysis for KSTAR TF coil structure cooling system has been conducted. The numerical analyses have been done to verify the engineering design of cooling using the commercial code, FLUENT and in-house code for calculating helium properties which varies with cooling tube's heat transfer. Through the engineering design process based on the steady heat balance concepts, the circular stainless steel tube with inner diameter of 4 mm for TF coil has been selected as cooling tube. From normal operation mode analysis results, total 28 cooling tubes were finally chosen. Also, three dimensional cool down analysis for TF coil with designed cooling tube was satisfied with next three design criteria. First is cooling work termination within a month, second is maximum temperature difference within 50 K in TF coil structure and third is exit helium pressure above 2 bar. Consequently, these cool down scenario results can afford to adopt as operating scenario data when KSTAR facilities operate.

KBSI 부산센터에 건설중인 소형의 다중 양전하 중이온 가속기에 사용될 초전도 ECR 이온온은 최대 자기장 3 T, 최소 0.5 T의 자기 Mirror구조를 가지고 있으며 중심 부근의 1 T 자기장에서 28 GHz 전자공명에 의해 마이크로파의 에너지를 플라즈마로 전달한다. 최대 10 kW의 Gyrotron에서 TE02 모드로 발생하는 마이크로파는 모드변환기, 직류차단기 및 진공창을 통하여 플라즈마로 입사된다. 32.5 mm 지름의 원형 도파관에서 자기장 축방향으로 도입된 TE01 모드의 마이크로파를 Altar-Appleton-Hartree 분산관계식을 이용하여 군속도의 관점에서 살펴보았다. 플라즈마 밀도가 Cut-off에 근접하지 않는 한 마이크로파의 바깥 방향으로의 회절은 크지 않았으며, 전자공명 위치로 접근함에 따라 군속도의 방향이 바뀌어 오히려 중심 방향으로 향함을 알 수 있다. 즉 마이크로파가 플라즈마 챔버의 벽을 가열시킬 가능성은 크지 않은 것이다. 또한 뜨거운 전자 플라즈마의 Susceptibility를 이용하여 마이크로파의 플라즈마로의 전자 공명에 의한 흡수를 살펴본 결과, 운전 영역에 속하는 전자밀도가 제공되면 공명 지점에 이르기 전에 충분히 흡수되는 것을 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 챔버를 관통하여 인출부 벽에 충돌하는 마이크로파 에너지는 무시할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다. 이 결과들을 토대로 마이크로파 시스템을 설계 완료하였다.
