This study was conducted to determine the effects of different copper (inorganic and organic) and energy (tallow and glycerol) sources on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, gas emission, diarrhea incidence, and fecal copper concentration in growing pigs by using a 2${\times}$2 factorial design. In this trial, 96 pigs (63 d of age) were employed, with an average initial weight of 28.36${\pm}$1.14 kg. The dietary treatments were i) basal diet with 134 ppm copper (Korea recommendation) as $CuSO_4$+tallow; ii) basal diet with 134 ppm Cu as $CuSO_4$+glycerol; iii) basal diet with 134 ppm copper as CuMet+tallow; and iv) basal diet with 134 ppm copper as CuMet+ glycerol. Throughout the entire experimental period, no differences were noted among treatment groups with regard to the magnitude of improvement in ADG (average daily gain), ADFI (average daily feed intake) and G/F (gain:feed) ratios. The nitrogen (N) digestibility of pigs fed on diets containing organic copper was improved as compared with that observed in pigs fed on diets containing inorganic copper (p<0.05). An interaction of copper${\times}$energy was observed in the context of both nitrogen (p<0.05) and energy (p<0.01) digestibility. Ammonia emissions were significantly lower in the organic copper-added treatment groups than in the inorganic copperadded treatment groups (p<0.05). Mercaptan and hydrogen sulfide emissions were reduced via the addition of glycerol (p<0.05). No significant effects of copper or energy source, or their interaction, were observed in reference to diarrhea appearance and incidence throughout the entirety of the experimental period. The copper concentration in the feces was significantly lower in the organic copper source treatment group than was observed in the inorganic copper source treatment group (p<0.05). The results of this experiment show that organic copper substituted for inorganic copper in the diet results in a decreased fecal copper excretion, but exerts no effect on performance. The different energy (tallow and glycerol) sources interact with different copper sources and thus influence nutrient digestibility. Glycerol supplementation may reduce the concentrations of odorous sulfuric compounds with different Cu sources.

The present study estimated nitrogen budget of South Korea including nitrogen oxides (NOx) in 2011. Emission sources of NOx were calculated with the higher contributors, such as vehicles, businesses, power plants, based on the IPCC and EPA reports. Moreover, nitrogen budget was separated for city, agriculture livestock and forest. Input and output were chemical fertilizer, crop uptake, fixation, irrigation, compost, leaching, volatilization, imported food, denitrification, runoff, and so on. Annual nitrogen input were 1,692,650 ton/yr and output were 837,739 ton/yr which were increased from 2010 budget. In 2011, NOx emissions by vehicles, power plants, and businesses were 308,207 ton/yr, 601,437 ton/yr, and 469,946 ton/yr, respectively. Including nitrogen oxide, total nitrogen input and output in 2011 was calculated as 5,652,366 ton/yr and 1,425,371 ton/yr, respectively.

It is essential to understand the decomposition characteristics for developing the optimum anaerobic digestion system of organic wastes. In this study, BMP (Biochemical Methane Potential) test using serum bottle was conducted to evaluate the anaerobic degradability of fish offal. 3 different groups of fish offal including waste from mackerel and hairtail handling except viscera and fish viscera were chosen for the substrates. Grinded fish offal was transferred anaerobically to serum bottle in amounts of 50 ml, 100 ml and 150 ml, respectively. BMP test was carried out in triplicate. Cumulative methane production and methane production rate depending on incubation time were evaluated. These results varied depending on substrate characteristics. The average values of ultimate methane yield ranged between $420ml{\cdot}CH_4/g{\cdot}VS$ and $490ml{\cdot}CH_4/g{\cdot}VS$, and the methane production and degradation rate of viscera were higher than those of other parts of fish offal. According to the analysis of elemental composition, average C/N ratio of fish offal used in this study was 5.2. Theoretical ultimate methane yield calculated from elemental composition was $522ml{\cdot}CH_4/g{\cdot}VS$. Biodegradability was calculated as 0.847.

As the requirement in patterning geometry continuously shrinks down, the termination of etch process at the exact time became crucial for the success in nano patterning technology. By virtue of real-time optical emission spectroscopy (OES), etch end point detection (EPD) technique continuously develops; however, it also faced with difficulty in low open ratio etching, typically in self aligned contact (SAC) and one cylinder contact (OCS), because of very small amount of optical emission from by-product gas species in the bulk plasma glow discharge. In developing etching process, one may observe that coupon test is being performed. It consumes costs and time for preparing the patterned sample wafers every test in priority, so the coupon wafer test instead of the whole patterned wafer is beneficial for testing and developing etch process condition. We also can observe that etch open area is varied with the number of coupons on a dummy wafer. However, this can be a misleading in OES study. If the coupon wafer test are monitored using OES, we can conjecture the endpoint by experienced method, but considering by data, the materials for residual area by being etched open area are needed to consider. In this research, we compare and analysis the OES data for coupon wafer test results for monitoring about the conditions that the areas except the patterns on the coupon wafers for real-time process monitoring. In this research, we compared two cases, first one is etching the coupon wafers attached on the carrier wafer that is covered by the photoresist, and other case is etching the coupon wafers on the chuck. For comparing the emission intensity, we chose the four chemical species (SiF2, N2, CO, CN), and for comparing the etched profile, measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM). In addition, we adopted the Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm for analyzing the chose OES data patterns, and analysis the covariance and coefficient for statistical method. After the result, coupon wafers are over-etched for without carrier wafer groups, while with carrier wafer groups are under-etched. And the CN emission intensity has significant difference compare with OES raw data. Based on these results, it necessary to reasonable analysis of the OES data to adopt the pre-data processing and algorithms, and the result will influence the reliability for relation of coupon wafer test and whole wafer test.

Pyrolysis characteristics of sawdust and rice husk as biomass resources in a thermogravimetric analysis were determined. Experiments were carried out with a linear heating rate under inert atmosphere of $N_2$ gas. Pyrolysis of the biomass can be classified as a lower temperature reaction zone where the major component of holocellulose is thermally decomposed and a high temperature reaction zone where lignin is thermally decomposed. The obtained data was analyzed by the two-step consecutive reaction model. Activation energies of sawdust and rice husk are found to be respectively 82.5 kJ/mol and 85.1kJ/mol in the low temperature zone according to the first order reaction model and 19.7 kJ/mol, 22.0 kJ/mol in the high temperature zone according to the three-way transport model. The reaction rate constant with variation of heating rate can be well predicted by the kinetic compensation relation of Gaur-Reed.

Effects of pretreatment conditions on ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) contents of brown rice and germinated brown rice were investigated. As steeping time increased, GABA contents of brown rices increased gradually. The highest GABA content, 3.33mg/100g, was found in brown rice steeped at $40^{\circ}C$ for 8 hr. GABA content of brown rice decreased significantly at pH 8 (p<0.05), but changed slightly at pH of steeping solution ranging 4-7. Steeping of brown rices in glutamate solution increased GABA contents. Brown rice steeped in glutamate solution at 200-300 ppm showed GABA content between $4.09{\pm}0.48-4.11{\pm}0,47mg/100g$, which was much higher than that of untreated brown rice. Anaerobic treatment of brown rices using $N_2$ gas increased GABA contents, ranging from $4,70{\pm}0.49\;to\;4.92{\pm}0.83mg/100g$. Germinated brown rice steeped in glutamate solution under anaerobic condition had GABA content of $5.92{\pm}0.72mg/100g$, two-fold higher than that of untreated brown rice, $3.05{\pm}0.67mg/100g$. Optimum pretreatment condition established in this study could significantly increase GABA content in germinated brown rice.

The Cancun Agreements under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change require developing countries aiming to undertake REDD+ activities to develop a national strategy or action plan, addressing the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation, a measurement, reporting and verifying (MRV) system including forest monitoring system, and safeguards to ensure equity and co-benefits for local communities and indigenous peoples, and biodiversity. The Government of Indonesia and the Government of Norway established REDD+ cooperation through signing a 'Letter of Intent' in May, 2010. Indonesia agreed on 'a two year suspension on all new concessions for conversion of peat and natural forest'. In turn, Norway agreed to support Indonesia's REDD+ implementation efforts up to one billion United States dollars. Indonesia's REDD+ national strategy (June, 2012) accepted most of the requests included in the 'Letter of Intent'. The REDD+ national strategy, however, does not reflect requests of the Cancun Agreements which noted identification of the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation and guarantee of real greenhouse gas emissions reductions. Indonesia lays emphasis on Norwegian requests which includes expected financial support rather than the Cancun Agreements which have a weak legally-binding requirements.

최근 반도체 세정에 있어서 지난 40년 동안 지속적으로 사용되고 있는 알칼라인 기반의 RCA 세정법은 많은 초순수 및 화학액 소모량과 세정시 불필요한 박막의 손실, 환경적인 문제로 인하여 이를 대체하고자 하는 새로운 새정액 및 세정 방법에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 특히 초순수에 가스를 혼합하여 메가소닉을 이용한 기능수 세정은 기존 RCA 세정액의 문제점들을 해결하기 위한 세정액으로 최근 반도체 제조 공정 뿐만 아니라 Photo mask, FPD 세정 공정에서 널리 이용되고 있다. 하지만 기능수에 대한 기초적인 특성 연구와 메가소닉에 의한 세정력 변화에 대한 연구는 부족한 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 고순도의 수소가스(99.999%)를 가스 접촉기, pHasorII (Entigris, USA) 와 순환 속도의 조절이 가능한 펌프, BPS-3 (Levitronix, USA) 를 이용하여 지속적으로 초순수와 수소가스를 혼합하는 방법으로 수소수를 제조하였으며, 용존 수소 농도계, DHDI-1 (TOA-DKK, Japan)으로 수소수의 농도를 확인하였다. 0.1 MPa 압력과, 3 LPM의 수소가스 유출속도에서 최대 2.0 ppm의 수소수를 얻을 수 있었으며, 수소수의 기초 특성을 평가하기 위하여 수소 농도 변화에 따른 pH, 표면 에너지를 측정하였다. 또한 압력 변화에 따른 반감기를 측정하여 bath형태의 세정기에서 적용 가능성을 평가하였다. 수소수의 세정력은 $Si_3N_4$ 입자가 임의로 오염된 실리콘 웨이퍼를 이용하여 bath 및 매엽식 세정기에서 수소수 농도와 메가소닉 형태 및 첨가제 변화에 따른 세정효율을 기존의 SC-1 세정액과 각각 비교 평가하였다. 기능수 발생장치에서 압력이 제거된 상태에서는 평균 20분의 반감기를 갖는 것이 관찰되었고, 압력이 유지된 상태에서는 수소수의 농도가 유지되는 것을 확인하였으며, pH의 경우 수소수의 농도가 점차 증가함에 따라 감소하여 2.0 ppm의 농도에서 pH 5.3정도의 값을 나타내었다. 표면 장력은 초순수와 비교했을 때 큰 변화가 없음을 확인할 수 있었다. Bath 형태의 세정기에서 메가소닉을 인가하여 수소수의 세정효율을 측정한 결과, 같은 조건에서 실험한 초순수와는 비슷하며, SC-1보다는 낮은 세정효율이 측정되었다. 반면 매엽식 세정기에서 동등한 조건의 실험을 실시한 결과, 수소수 세정에서 첨가제에 의한 영향으로 SC-1을 대체할 수 있는 높은 입자 제거효율을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다.

Polycrystalline CdS thin films were grown on ceramic substrate using a chemical bath deposition method. They were annealed at various temperature and X-ray diffraction patterns were measured by X-ray diffractometer in order to study CdS polycrystal structure. Using extrapolation method of X-ray diffraction patterns for the CdS samples annealed in $N_{2}$ gas at $550^{\circ}C$ it was found hexagonal structure whose lattice constants $a_{o}$ and $c_{o}$ were $4.1364{\AA}$ and $6.7129{\AA}$, respectively. Its grain size was about $0.35{\mu}m$. Hall effect on this sample was measured by Van der Pauw method and studied on carrier density and mobility defending on temperature. From Hall data, the mobility was likely to be decreased by piezo electric scattering at temperature range of 33K and 150k and by polar optical scattering at temperature range of 150K and 293K. We measured also spectral response, sensitivity (${\gamma}$), maximum allowable power dissipation and response time on these samples.
