Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the antigenic potency and stability of tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccines when combined with aluminum phosphate (AlPO₄) and liposome adjuvants. Materials and Methods: In vitro and in vivo analyses were conducted using the single radial immunodiffusion method and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Td vaccines were prepared with AlPO₄ adsorption and liposome-mediated delivery, and protein antigens were characterized using these methods. Results: The results revealed that the liposome-mediated Td vaccines exhibited higher immunogenicity compared to the AlPO₄-adsorbed Td vaccines. Additionally, the liposome-mediated Td vaccines demonstrated higher stability as native antigens. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of utilizing liposome adjuvants in vaccine development. The liposome-mediated Td vaccines showed enhanced immunogenicity and stability, making them a promising approach for improving vaccine efficacy. Understanding and optimizing adjuvant strategies can contribute to the development of effective vaccines against various diseases.

In this study, Chlorophyll-a (chl-a) prediction model and multiple parameters affecting algae occurrence in Mulgeum site were evaluated by statistical analysis using water quality, hydraulic and climate data at Mulgeum site (1998~2008). Before the analysis, control chart method and effect period of typhoon were adopted for improving reliability of the data. After data preprocessing step two methods were used in this study. In method 1, chl-a prediction model was developed using preprocessed data. Another model was developed by Method 2 using significant parameters affecting chl-a after data preprocessing step. As a result of correlation analysis, water temperature, pH, DO, BOD, COD, T-N, $NO_3-N$, $PO_4-P$, flow rate, flow velocity and water depth were revealed as significant multiple parameters affecting chl-a concentration. Chl-a prediction model from Method 1 and 2 showed high $R^2$ value with 0.799 and 0.790 respectively. Validation for each prediction model was conducted with the data from 2009 to 2010. Training period and validation period of Method 1 showed 20.912 and 24.423 respectively. And Method 2 showed 21.422 and 26.277 in each period. Especially BOD, DO and $PO_4-P$ played important role in both model. So it is considered that analysis of algae occurrence at Mulgeum site need to focus on BOD, DO and $PO_4-P$.

전류 적산법(Coulomb counting, Ampere counting)을 이용한 배터리 SOC(State of Charge) 추정 방식은 초기 SOC 값에 존재하는 오차와 SOC를 추정하는 시간동안 누적되는 전류값의 오차로 인해 추정이 실패할 수 있는 단점이 존재한다. 하지만 알고리즘이 직관적이며 단시간 내에서는 그 오차가 크지않고, 상용화된 배터리 SOC 추정 IC가 존재하여 구현이 간단하다는 장점 또한 있다. 본 논문에서는 전류 적산법 기반의 배터리 SOC 추정 IC를 사용하여 $LiFePO_4$ 리튬 폴리머 배터리의 SOC 추정 회로를 구현하는 과정을 제안한다. 또한 실험을 통해 제안된 배터리 SOC 추정 회로의 성능을 확인해본다.

Textured Ce$O_{2}$ buffers for YBCO coated conductors were deposited on biaxially textured Ni substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition The texture of deposited Ce$O_{2}$ films was varied with deposition temperature(T) and oxygen partial pressure($Po_{2}$). ($\ell$ 00) textured Ce$O_{2}$ films were deposited at T= 500~$520^{\circ}C$, $Po_{2}$= 0.90~3.33 Torr. The growth rate of the Ce$O_{2}$ films was 150~200 nm/min at T= $520^{\circ}C$ and $Po_{2}$= 2.30 Torr, which was much faster than that prepated by other physical deposition method.

This paper proposes variable incremental conductance(IC) algorithm for maximum power point tracking(MPPT) control of photovoltaic. The conventional perturbation & observation(PO) and IC MPPT control algorithm generally uses fixed step size. A small step size reduces a tracking error in the steady state but slows a tracking speed in the transient state. Also, a large step size is fast a tracking speed but increases a tracking error. Therefore, this paper proposes variable IC MPPT algorithm that adjust automatically step size according to operating conditions. To improve a tracking speed and accuracy, when operating point is far from the maximum power point(MPP), the step size uses maximum value and when a operating point is near from the MPP, the step size uses variable step size that adjust according to slope of P-V curve. The validity of MPPT algorithm proposed in this paper prove through compare with conventional PO and IC MPPT algorithm.

In this paper, we report characteristics of a internal chip of LiNbO$_3$ modulator with low-driving-voltage at 150nm wavelength. A Ti diffusion method for LiNbO$_3$ optical waveguide and a buffer layer for improving phase velocity mismatch between optical and microwave waves were employed. The traveling-wave coplanar waveguide electrode of 35mm is used for reducing the driving voltage. From this work, wideband modulation of 10㎓ and low-driving voltage of 3.9volts are realized.

Most numerical techniques such as FEM, BEM, and MOM are able to analize electromagnetic scattering problems from arbitrary shapes. Although these methods could be applied to compute electromagnetic scattering problems in frequency domain, it was limited for electrodynamic problem in time domain. In this paper, electromagnetic scattering problem from Fresnel zone plate lens are considered. Some numerical results computed by TLM are compared with Kirchhoff's approximation and PO method.

To improve the performance of $LiFePO_4F$, a novel sol-gel process is developed. For comparison, ceramic process is also implemented. From X-ray diffraction results we know that each sample adopts a triclinic $P{\bar{1}}$ space group, and they are isostructural with amblygonite and tavorite. The scanning electron microscope images show that the homogeneous grains with the dimension of 300-500 nm is obtained by the sol-gel process; meanwhile the sample particles obtained by ceramic process are as big as 1000-3000 nm. By galvanostatic tests and at electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method, the sample obtained by sol-gel process presents better electrochemical properties than the one obtained by ceramic process.

$LiMnPO_4$ particle were prepare by a hydrothermal reaction. The particles prepared by adding polyethylene glycol(PEG) and carbon to the starting reaction solution were fine crystalline in the range of 200-300nm. The discharge capacity of the sample as a lithium secondary battery was $25mAhg^{-1}$ at $0.04mAcm^{-2}$, larger than that of the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method without PEG and carbon.

The laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) is described, by which the growth of single-phase GaN epitaxy is achieved at lower temperatures. Trimethylgallium (TMG) and ammonia are used as source gases to deposit the epitaxial films of GaN under the irradiation of ArF excimer laser (193 nm). The as-grown deposits are obtained on c-face sapphire surface near 700$^{\circ}$C, which is substantially reduced, relative to the temperatures in conventional thermolytic processes. To overcome the lattice mismatch between c-face sapphire and GaN ad-layer, aluminum nitride(AlN) is predeposited as buffer layer prior to the deposition of GaN. The gas phase interaction is monitored by means of quadrupole mass analyzer (QMA). The stoichiometric deposition is ascertained by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The GaN deposits thus obtained are characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and van der Pauw method.
