The use of skin whitening agents have been recently increased in various kinds of cosmetic products, although there were reports that whitening agents might cause allergic contact dermatitis. A murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) has been developed as an alternative to guinea pigs for contact sensitization potential. This study was carried out to investigate the skin sensitization potential of three whitening agents, kojic acid, arbutin, azelaic acid, by LLNA using a non-radioistopic endpoint.(omitted)

최근 결정질 실리콘 태양전지 분야에서는 태양전지의 Voc와 Isc의 증가를 통한 효율 향상을 목적으로 후면 passivation에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. Local-Back Contact은 최적화된 후면 passivation 박막을 이용한 태양전지 제조방법이다. 고효율 태양전지 개발을 위해 최적의 laser 가공 조건이 확립되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 고효율의 LBC 태양전지 개발을 위해 ONO 구조의 후면 passivation 박막에 laser ablation 조건을 가변하여 LBC 태양전지를 제작하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 laser는 355nm 파장을 갖는 UV laser를 사용하였다. laser 파워는 5W, 주파수는 30kHz로 하였을 때 폭 20um, 깊이 5um의 홀을 형성시킬 수 있었다. 후면 접촉 면적의 영향을 확인하기 위하여 laser ablation 간격을 300um, 500um, 700um으로 가변하여 공정을 진행하였다. 태양전지 제조 결과 spacing 300um일 경우 효율이 높게 측정되었으며, laser ablation의 데미지를 줄이기 위한 FGA 처리시 웨이퍼 표면의 데미지를 줄여 carrier lifetime 향상에 기여하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구의 결과를 이용하여 향후 후면 passivation 극대화 및 접촉면적 가변을 통한 고효율 LBC 태양전지 개발이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the local farmers' perceptions toward the use of local food for school meals from the suppliers' perspectives. Data was collected from 12 school-meal management centers which provide the name list of local farmers. from the provided list, 167 people were selected, who were asked to answer the self-administerd questionnaires by post. 87 responses were returned, having shown the response rate was 50.1%. The data were analyzed by using SPSS 15.0 for descriptive analysis. The findings from this study are as follows: First, the local farmers has a positive attitude toward certified and supply methods for local food whereas price and selling quantity of local food were dissatisfying; Second, local farmers prefer to use public supplying chains such as school-meal support centers rather than private ones. Furthermore, they like to directly contact with a school in terms of supplying local food. To establish self-selling systems, computer programs like ERP should be adopted to effectively manage the production process of local food. On conclusion, implications and limitations were discussed.

Finite-element methods are used to study non-adhesive, frictionless rough contact of elastic and plastic solids. Roughness on spherical surfaces is realized by self-affine fractal. True contact area between the rough surfaces and flat rigid surfaces increases with power law under external normal loads. The power exponent is sensitive to surface roughness as well as the curvature of spherical geometry. Surface contact pressures are analyzed and compared for the elastic and plastic solids. Distributions of local contact pressure are shown dependent on the surface roughness and the yield stress of plastic solids.

Surface normal vector and surface velocity are very important parameters to simulate rolling processes precisely. In this study, Local displacement functions are constructed for each node on the contact surface and parameters are found by the least square fitting of displacement on the neighbor nodes. Deformation gradient tensor is calculated from the displacement function and surface normal vector and velocity also can be derived. Flat rolling simulation model is presented on the basis of the suggested contact scheme. Series of rolling process simulation are carried out and the results are compared with the experiments.

The role of thermal contact resistance between a casting and a metal mold as well as natural convection in the melt during solidification of a pure metal is numerically studied. Numerical simulation is performed for a rectangular cavity using the coordinate transformation by boundary-fitted coordinate and pure aluminum is used as the phase- change material. The influences of thermal contact resistance on the interface shape and position, solidified volume fraction, temperature field and local heat transfer are investigated.

A Quench in cable-in-conduit (CIC) conductors is often initiated by a disturbance such as strand motion that generates a highly localized normal zone in a strand or a few strands of the CIC conductors. The localized normal zone causes current and heat transfer between a disturbed strand and neighboring strands. Electrical and thermal contact characteristics between strands thus have an effect on the transient stability of the CIC conductors. In this paper the effect of contact characteristics between strands on the CIC conductor stability is presented based on the measured heat transfer characteristics of supercritical helium (SHe) for the local heating. The quench and recovery processes of the strands for the abrupt and highly localized disturbance are analyzed at the boundary between quench and recovery.

The most important criteria of quality of meshing and contact of gears are the low level of noise and the sufficient dimensions and location of the contact. A new approach for determination of machine-tool settings for spiral bevel gears is proposed. The proposed settings provide a function of transmission errors, the desired location and orientation of contact. The function is able to absorb piece-wise linear functions of transmission errors that are caused by the gear misalignment and to reduce the gear noise. The determination of pinion machine-tool settings is based on the local synthesis of gears. A computer program for simulation of meshing bearing contact and determination of transmission errors for misaligned has been developed.

The dynamic photoelastic technique has been utilized to investigate the possibility of relieving the large local singular stresses which are induce in the corner of a right angled indenter. The indenter compresses a semi-infinite body dynamically with an impact load applied on the top of the indenter. The effect of geometric changes to the indenter in terms of the diameter (d) and the location (ℓ) of the notch on the relieving of the dynamic contact stresses are investigated. A multi-spark-high speed camera with twelve sparks was used to take dynamic photographs. The contact singular stresses were found to be released by introducing the relief notch along the indenter. The optimal location and geometry of the relief notch need further experimental investigation.

We present six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) haptic rendering algorithms using translational ($PD_t$) and generalized penetration depth ($PD_g$). Our rendering algorithm can handle any type of object/object haptic interaction using penalty-based response and makes no assumption about the underlying geometry and topology. Moreover, our rendering algorithm can effectively deal with multiple contacts. Our penetration depth algorithms for $PD_t$ and $PD_g$ are based on a contact-space projection technique combined with iterative, local optimization on the contact-space. We circumvent the local minima problem, imposed by the local optimization, using motion coherence present in the haptic simulation. Our experimental results show that our methods can produce high-fidelity force feedback for general polygonal models consisting of tens of thousands of triangles at near-haptic rates, and are successfully integrated into an off-the-shelf 6DoF haptic device. We also discuss the benefits of using different formulations of penetration depth in the context of 6DoF haptics.
