Hybrid solar cells have intensively studied in recent years due to their advantages such as cost effectiveness and possibility of applications in flexible and transparent devices. It is critical to fabricate individual layer composed of organic and inorganic materials in the hybrid solar cell at low cost. Therefore, it is required to manufacture cheaply and enhance the photon-to-electricity conversion efficiency of each layer in the flexible solar cell industry. In this research, we fabricated pure Cu metal mesh electrode prepared by using electroplating and/or electroless plating on the Ni mold which was manufacture through photolithography, electroforming, and polishing process. Copper mesh was formed on the surface of nickel metal working master when pulsed electrolytic copper deposition were performed at various plating parameters such as plating time, current density, and so on. After electrodeposition at 2ASD for 5~30seconds, the line/pitch/thickness of copper mesh sheet was $1.8{\sim}2.0/298/0.5{\mu}m$.

Shiff Base ligand such as [NOIPH] have been synthesized from 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde and arometic amine. Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) complexes from the reaction metal salts with Tridentate Schiff Base [NOIPH] were sythesized. The ligand and metal(II) complexes were characterized by the elementary analysis, IR, UV-Vis, NMR spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. Metal(II) complexes in solid state have been shown that the mole raio of Schiff base [NOIPH] as $N_2O$ type to Metal(II) is 2:1 and the metal(II) complexes of $N_2O$ ligand type were four-coordinated configuration.

In this paper, we proposed XP KMPR-1050 negative tone resist to replace SU-8 resist for multi-layer micro-structures and thick plating mold fabrication using UV-LIGA process. XP KMPR resist proposed in this paper can be easily striped using a common stripping solution such as NMP without damage of micro-structure. The conditions for the fabrication of XP KMPR micro-structure were optimized by adjustment of exposure and post-exposure bake(PEB). The $140{\mu}m$ -thick and an aspect ratio at least 10 micro-structure and multi-layer structures were successfully fabricated through the process conditions. Through-mold electroplating and PR striping of XP KMPR has been successfully demonstrated.

The relationship between plasmid (~9.5 kb) and pediocin PA-1 in P. acidilactici K10 was confirmed by plasmid curing. The pediocin operon of P. acidilactici K10 was amplified by PCR (polymerase chain reaction), and the nucleotide sequence was analyzed. The sequence of the pediocin operon of P. acidilactici K10 was similar to those of P. acidilactici strains producing pediocin PA-1/ AcH. For the expression of pediocin PA-1 in E. coli, a pQEPED (pQE-30 Xa::mature pedA) was constructed. His-tagged recombinant pediocin PA-1 (-6.5 kDa) was translated by cell-free in vitro transcription and translation using pQEPED as a DNA template. Theresult of slot blotting assay showed that transcription of recombinant pedA in E. coli M15 was induced by the addition of isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at the final concentration of 1 mM. Although the recombinant pediocin PA-1 inhibited the growth of E. coli, it was expressed in the host strain and purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) metal-affinity chromatography under denaturing condition. This is the first report for the production and one-step purification of biologically active recombinant pediocin PA-1 in E. coli.

For obtaining high manganese steel plates, the study has been made on the optimum conditions in melting, forging, rolling and water toughning treatment practices. The optimum water toughning temperature and time was found to be $1030^{\circ}C$ and 30 min. respectively for the plates of 1 mm thickness. The argon atmosphere is very effective for the prevention of decarburization which can be easily occured in open air. There is a close relation between the degree of c 이 d working and the hardess. The greater the cold reduction ratio is, the smaller the grain size is and it results in the increase of hardness. The improvement of tensile and bending properties can be made by the addition of small amount of nickel, chromium and vanadium.

Tungsten oxide and nickel oxide thin films were deposited onto ITO(Indium Tin Oxide) transparent glass by the E-beam evaporation and were used as a cathode and an anode for the EC(Electrochromic) smart window, respectively. Stoichiometric structures of the deposited films were investigated by the implementation of XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) analysis and the results were $WO_{2.42}$ and $NiO_{0.44}$. This oxygen deficincy might affect affect the transparency of the thin films. The electrolyte for the EC smart windows was PAN-$LiCIO_4$ conducting polymer. EC(Ethylene Carbonate)and PC(Propylene Carbonate) were added as plasticizer to enhance ion conductivity. When the weight ratio of the EC : PC was 3 : 1, transmission difference and cycle life performance were tested. Polymer EC windows showed 40% $\Delta$T at 1.5V operating volage for 3,200 cycles. Structural degradation was observed by the SIMS(Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy) analysis and it was confirmed that structural degradation of polymer caused by the solvent evaporation was the main cause to degrade EC smart windows.

The use of biogas as an energy source reduces the chance of possible emission of two greenhouse gases, $CH_4$ and $CO_2$, into the atmosphere at the same time. Its nature of being a reproducible energy source makes its use even more attractive. This research if for the hydrogen production through the steam reforming of the biogas. The biogas utilized 3D-IR matrix burner in which the surface combustion is applied. The nickel catalyst was used inside a reformer. Parametric screening studies were achieved as Steam/Carbon ratio, biogas component ratio, Space velocity and Reformer temperature. When the condition of Steam/Carbon ratio, $CH_4/CO_2$ ratio, Space velocity and Refomer temperature were 3.25, 60%:40%, 19.32L/$g{\cdot}hr$ and $700^{\circ}C$ respectively, the hydrogen concentration and methane conversion rate were showed maximum values. Under the condition mentioned above, $H_2$ concentration was 73.9% and methane conversion rate was 98.9%.

It has been known that the synthesis of the cathode materials for the lithium rechargeable batteries by the sol-gel process has many advantages over the conventional solid-state method. It has been, however, a continuing issue that new additional steps should be introduced to commercialize this process. In this work, spray drying was introduced to the existing sol-gel process as a continuous mass production method of the pre-heat treatment precursor materials. The precursors of $LiCoO_2$ and $LiNi_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ were continuously produced through spray drying from the solution containing stoichiometric amount of lithium, cobalt, and nickel sources as well as a chelating agent. The process variables, such as pH of the starting solution, spray drying conditions, and calcination conditions were optimized. The XRD pattern for the synthesized material indicated a good crystallinity with a layered structure.

Coking accumulations via dry methane reforming (DMR) over 10NAM monolithic catalyst and pelletized catalyst was investigated. 10NAM catalyst was synthesized and coated on a wall of monolithic reactor. Pelletized catalyst of 10NAM was also prepared for the comparison. Consequently, catalyst was characterized by BET, $H_2-TPR$ and $H_2-TPD$. The catalytic reaction was undergone at $600^{\circ}C$ under atmospheric pressure and $CH_4$ to $CO_2$ reactant ratio of 1:2. The coking formation over spent catalyst was then carried out in the hydrogen flow using temperature programmed technique (TPH). According to the results, DMR over 10NAM monolithic catalyst exhibits a minimized coking formation comparing to the use of pelletized catalyst. This could be attributed to a prominent heat transfer efficiency of the monolithic catalyst.

Peptide deformylase (PDF) is essential and unique to bacteria, thus making it an attractive target for the discovery of novel antibacterial drugs. PDF deformylates the N-formylmethionine of newly synthesized polypeptides in prokaryotes. In this study, a pdf gene from Staphylococcus aureus 6538p was cloned in pET-14b vector and PDF protein was over-produced in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). NH$_2$-terminal His-tagged PDF protein was purified by nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) metal-affinity chromatography. Enzymatic activity of purified 6xHis-tagged PDF was tested on the substrate (formyl-Methionine-Alanine-Serine) by formate dehydrogenase-coupled spectrometric assay of peptide deformylase. For the discovery of new PDF inhibitors from chemical libraries and culture broths of soil bacteria, a target-oriented screening system using a 96-well plate was developed. About 3,000 commercial chemical libraries were tested in this screening system, and 2 chemicals (0.07％) among them showed an inhibitory activity against PDF enzyme. This result showed that a new screening system can be used for the discovery of new PDF inhibitors.
