This paper presents an asymptotic analysis method using the PO(physical optics) approximation technique to analyze the scattering contribution of an electrically large object partially coated with a radar absorbing material(RAM). By using the feature of the PO technique that can calculate the equivalent current value for each mesh independently, instead of analyzing the entire structure, scattering analysis was performed only by calculating the current on the area where the RAM coating is applied. By the numerical examples, the accuracy and the computation time of the proposed method were verified, and the computational efficiency of inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) of the electrically large objects that require enormous resources is improved.

In this paper, AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite photocatalyst is successfully synthesized by microemulsion method and anion in situ substitution method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) are used to study the structural and physicochemical characteristics of the AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite composite. Using rhodamine B (RhB) as a simulated pollutant, the photocatalytic activity and stability of the AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite composite under visible light are evaluated. In the AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite visible light system, RhB is nearly 100 % degraded within 15 minutes. And, after five cycles of operation, the photocatalytic activity of AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite remains at 95 % of the original level, much higher than that of pure Ag₃PO₄ (40 %). In addition, the mechanism of enhanced catalytic performance is discussed. The high photocatalytic performance of AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite composites can be attributed to the synergistic effect of Ag₃PO₄, diatomite and AgCl nanoparticles. Free radical trapping experiments are used to show that holes and oxygen are the main active species. This material can quickly react with dye molecules adsorbed on the surface of diatomite to degrade RhB dye to CO₂ and H₂O. Even more remarkably, AgCl/Ag₃PO₄/diatomite can maintain above 95 % photo-degradation activity after five cycles.

In this study, the method to improve the electrochemical performance of $LiFePO_4$ by carbon coating and morphology control into porous structure was studied. The synthesis of $LiFePO_4$ was done by coprecipitation method by two step procedure. In the first step $FePO_4$ precursor was synthesized by coprecipitation method, followed by impregnation of lithium into the precursor at $750^{\circ}C$. The carbon coating was done by both physical and chemical coating processes. Using the physical coating process, the amount of coating layer was 6% and the capacity achieved was 125 mAh/g. In case of chemical coating process, the active material delivered 130~140 mAh/g, which is about 40% improvement of delivered capacity compared to uncoated $LiFePO_4$. For the morphology control into porous structure, we added nano particles of $Al_2O_3$ or $SiO_2$ into the active materials and formed the nanocomposite of ($Al_2O_3$ or $SiO_2$)/$LiFePO_4$. Between them, $SiO_2/LiFePO_4$ porous nanocomposite showed larger capacity of 132 mAh/g.

The purpose of this study was to improve the conductivity of $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$ by adding carbon source so that the discharge rate and cyclic properties were improved. Glucose and CNT were added to $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$ and the structure and electrochemical properties were studied. $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$, $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/C and $Li_3V_2(PO_4){_3}$/CNT were synthesised by solid state reaction using hydrogen reduction method at 600, 700, 800, $900^{\circ}C$. The cathode materials were assembled to coin cell type 2032 with Lithium metal as a counter electrode. The coin cell was galvanostatically evaluated in the voltage range of 3.0~4.8 V.

Olivine type $LiFePO_4$ cathode material was synthesized by solid-state reaction method including one-step heat treatment. To improve the electrochemical characteristics, graphite nanofiber (GNF) was added into $LiFePO_4$ cathode material. The structure and morphological performance of $LiFePO_4$ were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD); and a field emission-scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The synthesized $LiFePO_4$ has an olivine structure with no impurity, and the average particle size of $LiFePO_4$ is about 200~300 nm. With graphite nanofiber added, the discharge capacity increased from 113.43 mAh/g to 155.63 mAh/g at a current density of 0.1 $mA/cm^2$. The resistance was also significantly decreased by the added graphite nanofiber.

The incorporation of cobalt into mesoporous molecular sieves MCM-41 and MCM-48 was carried out. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were prepared using Co(II) acetate solution adjusted to pH = 3.0 with phosphoric acid by the incipient wetness method. Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) was used to study the local environments of Co(II) incorporated into mesopores. The band around 500 nm in PAS of as-prepared Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 with Co(II) acetate solution was changed to triplet bands around 600 nm. This could be assigned to the 4 A2(F)-> 4T1(P) transition of Co(II) surrounded tetrahedrally by oxygen ions after calcination. It may be attributable to that the octahedral cobalt species containing phosphate ligands in coordination sphere reacting with framework's silanol groups to be dispersed atomically onto the surface of mesoporous molecular sieves as a tetrahedral species. This is unlike that the Co in Co-Cl/MCM41 and direct-synthesized Co-MCM41 transforms to Co oxide phase upon calcination. Co-PO/MCM41 and Co-PO/MCM48 were stable while treated with water.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the assessment method for PO6(teamwork) and PO7(communication skill), one of the most important assessment items in engineering accreditation. In this paper, we used the assessment criteria of Rubric, to empirically measure the teamwork and communication skill. Teamwork and communication skill (PO6, PO7) are the most critical social competences in modern society. Numerous studies on education showed that teamwork and communication skill can be enhanced through learning. We, therefore, need to investigate teamwork and communication skill in terms of education. However, research on the assessment method of the engineering accreditation, based on educational view is scarce. In this study, we suggest the assessment criteria of Rubric for PO6 and PO7 with the perspective of the education. We also tried to apply the developed criteria to the related subjects.

In order to detect pantothenic acid (PA), conditions for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were established. Anti-PA-BSA antibody was produced from rabbits immunized with PA-bovine serum albumin (BSA) conjugates which were prepared by the bromoacetyl chloride [Bc] method (PA-BSA[Bc]) and by the periodate oxidation [Po] method (PA-BSA[Po]). PA-BSA[Bc] and PA-BSA[Po] was used as a coating antigen for competitive indirect(ci)ELISA. The Anti-PA-BSA[Po] antibody on ciELISA showed no competitive reaction. The detection limit of PA by ciELISA using Anti-PA-BSA[Bc] antibody was 1 ppm. The Anti-PA-BSA[Bc] antibody showed little cross-reactivity to PA derivatives such as pantoyllactone, pantetheine, pantothenyl alcohol, and acetyl CoA. The detection limit of PA by microbiological assay (MBA) was 10 ppb. Assay recoveries of PA in egg, cow's liver, and lettuce by ciELISA were 109, 64, and 344%, respectively, comparing with the MBA results.

LiBaPO₄:Eu²⁺ phosphors with stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric compositions were prepared using a solid state reaction followed by heat treatment in reduced atmosphere, and the crystal structures and photoluminescence(PL) properties of the powders were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction and luminescence spectrometer. At 900℃, the Ba₃(PO₄)₂ phase as the intermediate phase was observed with the LiBaPO₄ phase as the main crystalline phase. Samples with a low europium concentration at 1,000℃ belonged to the trigonal structure, whereas samples with Eu²⁺ content more than 4 mol% showed monoclinic structure. In the nonstoichiometric compositions of 4 mol% Eu²⁺ and above, a single phase of Eu²⁺-doped LiBaPO₄, showing bluish green emission, was formed.

Eight kinds of poly(oxyethylene, oxyisopropylene) dodecyl ethers were synthesized by adding ethylene oxide and isopropylene oxide with each 5 and 10 moles alternatively on dodecanol. The addition of EO and PO for eight kinds of sodium poly(oxyethylene, oxyisopropylene) dodecyl ether sulfates was identified with HPLC, $^1H$ NMR, hydroxy value, and IR spectrum. In order to verify the sulfation the number of EO and PO molecules was obtained by spectra and Epton method. The yields of products sulfated by chlorosulfonic acid were 90~96%.
