Objectives: This study aimed to assess exposure to black carbon(BC) among forklift operators and to identify environmental and occupational factors influencing their BC exposure. Methods: We studied a total of 23 forklift operators from six workplaces manufacturing paper boxes. A daily BC exposure assessment was conducted during working hours from January to April 2017. A micro-aethalometer was used to monitor daily BC exposure, and information on work activities was also obtained through a time-activity diary(TAD) and interviews. BC exposure records were classified into four categories influencing BC exposure level: working environment, workplace, forklift operation, and job characteristics. Analysis of variance(ANOVA) was used to compare average BC exposure levels among the four categories and the relationships between potential factors and BC exposure were analyzed using a multiple linear regression model. Results: The operators' daily exposure was $12.9{\mu}g/m^3$(N=9,148, $GM=7.5{\mu}g/m^3$) with a range: $0.001-811.4{\mu}g/m^3$. The operators were exposed to significantly higher levels when they operate a forklift in a room ${\leq}20,000m^3$($AM=12.3{\mu}g/m^3$), in indoor workplaces($AM=16.3{\mu}g/m^3$), when they operate a forklift manufactured before 2006 ($AM=13.2{\mu}g/m^3$), a forklift with a loading limit of four-tons($AM=27.1{\mu}g/m^3$), with a roll and bale type clamp($AM=17.1{\mu}g/m^3$), and with no particulate filter($AM=15.7{\mu}g/m^3$). Conclusions: Occupational factors including temperature, smoking, season, daytime, room volume($m^3$), location of operating, and manufacturing era and model of forklift influenced the BC exposure of forklift operators. The results of this study can be used to minimize the BC exposure of forklift operators.

A CMOS frequency synthesizer for $5{\sim}6$ GHz UNII-band sub-harmonic direct-conversion receiver has been developed. For quadrature down-conversion with sub-harmonic mixing, octa-phase local oscillator (LO) signals are generated by an integer-N type phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer. The complex timing issue of feedback divider of the PLL with large division ratio is solved by using multimodulus prescaler. Phase noise of the local oscillator signal is improved by employing the ring-type LC-tank oscillator and switching its tail current source. Implemented in a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS technology, the phase noise of the LO signal is lower than -80 dBc/Hz and -113 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1MHz offset, respect-tively. The measured reference spur is lower than -70 dBc and the power consumption is 40 m W from a 1.8 V supply voltage.

This paper describes a 1 GHz, low-phase-noise CMOS fractional-N frequency synthesizer with an integrated LC VCO. The proposed frequency synthesizer, which uses a high-order delta-sigma modulator to suppress the fractional spurious tones at all multiples of the fractional frequency resolution offset, has 64 programmable frequency channels with frequency resolution of $f_ref/64$. The measured phase noise is as low as -110 dBc/Hz at a 200 KHz offset frequency from a carrier frequency of 980 MHz. The reference sideband spurs are -73.5 dBc. The prototype is implemented in a $0.5{\mu}m$ CMOS process with triple metal layers. The active chip area is about $4mm^2$ and the prototype consumes 43 mW, including the VCO buffer power consumption, from a 3.3 V supply voltage.

본 논문에서는 Bluetooth, Zigbee, WLAN 등 2.4GHz 대역 ISM-band 응용 분야를 위한 저 전력 주파수 합성기를 설계하였다. 저 전력 특성을 얻기 위해 전류소모가 큰 VCO, prescaler, ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator 등의 전력소모를 최적화하는데 중점을 두고 설계하였다. VCO는 전력소모 측면에서 유리한 NP-core 유형의 구조를 선택하여 위상잡음 특성과 전력소모를 최적화하였으며, prescaler는 정적 전류소모가 거의 없는 동적 회로 기술이 적용된 D-F/F을 사용하여 전력소모를 줄였다. 또한 다수의 로직으로 구성되는 3차 ${\Sigma}-{\Delta}$ modulator는 'mapping circuit'으로 구조를 단순화하여 작은 면적과 저 전력소모 특성을 갖도록 하였다. $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정으로 IC를 제작하여 성능을 측정한 결과 설계된 주파수 합성기는 1.8V 전원전압에서 7.9mA의 전류를 소모하고, 100kHz offset에서 -96dBc/Hz, 1MHz offset에서 -118dBc/Hz의 위상 잡음 특성을 보였다 또한 spur 잡음 특성은 -70dBc이며, 25MHz step의 주파수 변화에 따른 위상 고정 시간은 약 $15{\mu}s$이다. 설계된 회로의 칩 면적은 pad를 포함하여 $1.16mm^2$이며 pad를 제외한 면적은 $0.64mm^2$이다.

Background: PM_2.5 and black carbon (BC) can be generated from cooking and from vehicle operation. Street vendors may be exposed to PM_2.5 and BC due to their proximity both to roads and to cooking activities. Objectives: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the PM_2.5 and BC concentrations in cooking stalls and to determine the effects of cooking activity and of types of cooking. Methods: Indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 and BC concentrations, temperature, and relative humidity were measured in 32 stalls in April and May 2022. Behavioral factors such as the presence of cooking activity and types of cooking were observed. Student's T-test was performed using the difference of indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 and BC concentrations to compare the effects of cooking activity and to compare types of cooking. Results: One-hour averages of the difference in indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 concentrations for cooking stalls and non-cooking stalls were 9.7±15.7 ㎍/m³ (n=22) and -0.5±0.4 ㎍/m³ (n=10), respectively. The difference in indoor and outdoor PM_2.5 concentrations in cooking stalls was significantly higher than in non-cooking stalls (p<0.05). The indoor PM_2.5 concentration for stalls for Chinese pancakes and teokbokki exceeded the standards for indoor air quality in South Korea (50 ㎍/m³ ). The indoor PM_2.5 concentration for Korean pancake stalls exceeded the standards for outdoor air quality in South Korea (35 ㎍/m³ for 24 hours). Conclusions: The PM_2.5 concentrations in stalls with cooking activity was significantly higher than those in stalls without cooking activity. Some stalls with certain types of foods exceeded standards for indoor and outdoor air quality in South Korea. Better management of indoor air quality in stalls with cooking activities is necessary.

Boron-Carbon-Nitrogen (B-C-N) system is an attractive ternary material since it has not only an extremely high hardness but also a number of other prominent characteristics such as chemical inertness, elevated melting point, and low thermal expansion. In this paper, the corrosion behavior of B-C-N thin films in aqueous solution was investigated B-C-N films with different composition were deposited on a platinum plate by magnetron sputtering in the thickness range of 150-280 nm. In order to understand effect of pH of solutions, $BC_{2.\;4}N$ samples were immerged in 1M HCl, 1M NaCl, and 1M NaOH solution at 298k, respectively. BCN samples with different carbon contents were exposed to 1M NaOH solutions to investigate effect of chemical composition on corrosion resistance. Corrosion rates of samples were measured by ellipsometry, From results, optical constant of $BC_{2,\;4}N$ films was found to be $N_2=2.110-0.295i$. The corrosion rates of $Bi_{1.\;0}C_{2.\;4}N_{1.\;0}$ films were NaOH>NaCl>HCl in orders. With increasing carbon content in B-C-N films, the corrosion resistance of B-C-N films was enhanced. The lowest corrosion rate was obtained for $B_{1.\;0}C_{4.\;4}N_{1.\;9}$ film.

대만산 배추 (Brassica campestris M.)로부터 분리한 BcHSPI7.6 cDNA(내열성 유전자)를 pBKSl-l vector에 subcloning하므로서, NPTII 유전자와 P35S-HSPI7.6 cDNA를 가지는 pBKH4 재조합 플라스미드를 제작하였다. 이들 플라스미드를 갖는 A. tumefaciens LBA4404로서 담배잎 단편을 24시간 동안 공배양하므로서 감염시켰으며, 이들 유전자로 형질전환된 shoot는 $100\;{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$의 가나마이신을 첨가한 MS-n/B 배지에서 선발하였다. 담배((Nicotiana. tabacum)의 열에 대한 치사온도는 $50^{\circ}$에서 15분 이상이었으며, BcHSPI7.6 cDNA를 갖는 형질전환된 식물체는 이 온도에서 내열성을 나타내었다. 식울체의 형질전환 여부는 ${\alpha}^{_32}P$로 표지한 BcHSPI7.6 cDNA 단편을 probe로 이용해서 Southern blot hybridization을 실시하므로서 확인하였다. BcHSPI7.6 cDNA의 발현정도는 Northern blot 분석과 이중면역확산 방법으로 확인하였다. 본 연구에서, 담배에 도입한 BcHSPI7.6 cDNA는 내열성과 관련이 있는 유전자로서, HSPI7.6 단백질은 식물체를 열에 의한 손상으로부터 방지해 주는 protector 역할을 하는 것 으로 사료된다.
