  • Due to the fact that possible risk associated with soil-crop-food chain transfer, metal contamination in croplands has become a major topic of wide concern. Accumulation of toxic metals in edible parts of crops grown in contaminated soils has been reported from number of crops including rice, soybean, wheat, maize, and vegetables. Therefore, in order to ensure food safety, measures are needed to be taken in mitigating metal pollution and subsequent uptake by crop plants. Present paper critically reviewed some of the cost effective remediation techniques used in minimizing metal uptake by crops grown in contaminated soils. Liming with different materials such as limestone ($CaCO_3$), burnt lime (CaO), slaked lime [$Ca(OH)_2$], dolomite [$CaMg(CO_3)_2$], and slag ($CaSiO_3$) has been widely used because they could elevate soil pH rendering metals less-bioavailable for plant uptake. Zn fertilization, use of organic amendments, crop rotation and water management are among the other techniques successfully employed in reducing metal uptake by crop plants. However, irrespectively the mitigating measure used, heterogeneous accumulation of metals in different crop species is often reported. The inconsistency might be attributed to the genetic makeup of the crops for selective uptake, their morphological characteristics, position of edible parts on the plants in respect of their distance from roots, crop management practices, the season and to the soil characteristics. However, a sound conclusion in this regard can only be made when more scientific evidence is available on case-specific researches, in particular from long-term field trials which included risks and benefits analysis also for various remediation practices.

  • 본 논문에서는 λ/4 반사층으로 이루어진 체적 탄성파 공진기의 두 가지 유형을 등가회로를 이용하여 이론적으로 분석하고 두 유형의 차이점을 비교 논의하였다. λ/2 모드는 상, 하부전극이 공기와 접하는 이상적인 공진기와 λ/4 모드는 상부전극은 공기와 접하고 하부전극 아래는 완전히 막혀 있는 이상적인 공진기와 비교하여 반사층이 공진특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 압전층으로는 ZnO 를 전극층으로는 Al 을 기판층은 Si 을 사용하였다. Mason 등가회로를 ABCD 파라미터를 추출할 수 있는 단순화된 등가회로로 변환하여 입력임피던스를 구하였다. 반사층의 두께 변화에 의한 공진주파수의 변화와 반사층의 기계적 Q 에 따른 전기적 Q 의 변화를 통해 하부전극 바로 아래의 반사층의 변화률이 제일 큼을 알 수 있었다. 반사층의 탄성 임피던스비가 증가함에 따라 Q 의 포화에 필요한 반사층의 수가 감소하였고 동일한 반사층 조건에서 λ/2 모드의 전기적 Q 가 λ/4 모드의 전기적 Q 보다 다소 크다는 사실을 확인하였다. 전기기계결합계수는 반사층수에 독립적이었고 반사층의 탄성 임피던스비가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 두 모드 모두 전기기계결합계수는 반사층에 탄성파 에너지의 존재로 인하여 이상적인 공진기보다 낮고 동일한 반사층 조건에서 λ/2 모드가 λ/4 모드보다 큼을 확인하였다. Ladder 필터 특성에는 반사층수가 증가할수록 삽입손실은 감소하지만 대역폭에는 큰 변화가 없었고 반사층의 탄성임피던스비가 높을수록 동일한 반사층수에서 삽입손실은 감소하였고 대역폭은 넓어졌다. 분석한 모든 특성으로 닥 때 λ/2 모드가 λ/4 모드보다 다소 우수하였다.

  • We present an optical Voltage and current sensor using $BSO(Bi_{12}SiO_{20})$ monocrystal. The voltage and current sensor consist of PBS(Polarizing Beam Splitter), 1/4 wavelength plate, ZnSe, Selfoc lens, LED, and PIN-PD etc. Magnetic core was made using permalloy for applying magnetic field to current sensor effectively. Current was measured from 100 to 1,600 ampere and accuracy was about ${\pm}$5%. The accuracy could be improved to ${\pm}$l% after reducing the nonlinear property of BSO crystal using our own program in PC (IBM286). We noticed that these data were not influenced by 154,000 voltage at all. Applied voltage was reduced to 1/20 using capacitors. And experiment was carried out up to 450V of the reduced voltage. The data fran optical voltage sensor was similar to that from conventional voltage sensor. The accuracy of the data was within about ${\pm}$1%.

  • The authors report on the fabrication of thin film transistors (TFTs) that use amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) channel and have the channel length (L) and width (W) patterned by dry etching. To prevent the plasma damage of active channel, a 100-nm-thckness $SiO_{x}$ by PECVD was adopted as an etch-stopper structure. IGZO TFT (W/L=10/50${\mu}m$) fabricated on glass exhibited the high performance mobility of $35.8\;cm^2/Vs$, a subthreshold gate voltage swing of $0.59V/dec$, and $I_{on/off}$ of $4.9{\times}10^6$. In addition, 4.1” transparent QCIF active-matrix organic light-emitting diode display were successfully fabricated, which was driven by a-IGZO TFTs.

  • In this study, the performances of various adsorbents-red mud, zeolite, limestone, and oyster shell-were investigated for the adsorption of multi-metal ions ($Cr^{3+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, $As^{3+}$, $Cd^{2+}$, and $Pb^{2+}$) from aqueous solutions. The result of scanning electron microscopy analyses indicated that the some metal ions were adsorbed onto the surface of the media. Moreover, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed that the Si(Al)-O bond (red mud and zeolite) and C-O bond (limestone and oyster shell) might be involved in heavy metal adsorption. The changes in the pH of the aqueous solutions upon applying adsorbents were investigated and the adsorption kinetics of the metal ions on different adsorbents were simulated by pseudo-first-order and pseudo-second-order models. The sorption process was relatively fast and equilibrium was reached after about 60 min of contact (except for $As^{3+}$). From the maximum capacity of the adsorption kinetic model, the removal of $Pb^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$ were higher than for the other metal ions. Meanwhile, the reaction rate constants ($k_{1,2}$) indicated the slowest sorption in $As^{3+}$. The adsorption mechanisms of heavy metal ions were not only surface adsorption and ion exchange, but also surface precipitation. Based on the metal ions' adsorption efficiencies, red mud was found to be the most efficient of all the tested adsorbents. In addition, impurities in seawater did not lead to a significant decrease in the adsorption performance. It is concluded that red mud is a more economic high-performance alternative than the other tested adsorption materials for applying a removal of multi-metal in seawater.

  • The preferential transport phenomena of neutral cation-anion moieties in neutral macrocycle-facilitated emulsion liquid membrane were described in this study. Emulsion membrane systems consisting of (1) aqueous source phase containing 0.001 M M($NO_3$)$_2(M=Mn^{2+},\;Co^{2+},\;Ni^{2+},\;Cu^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Sr^{2+},\;Cd^{2+},\;and\;Pb^{2+})$ (2) a toluene membrane containing 0.01 M ligand $(DBN_3O_2$, DA18C6, DT18C6, TT18C6, HT18C6) and the surfactant span 80 (sorbitan monooleate) (3% v/v) and (3) an aqueous receiving phase containing $Na_2S_2O_3$ or $NaNO_3$ were studied with respect to the disappearence of transition metal ions from the source phase as a function of time. Cation transports for various two component or three component equimolar mixture of transition metal and $Cu^{2+}$ in a emulsion membrane system incorporating macrocyclic ligand (HT18C6) as carrier were determinded. $Cu^{2+}$ was transported higher rates than the other $M^{2+}$ in the mixture solution. Equilibrium constants for cation-source phase co-anion, cation macrocycle and cation-receiving phase reagent interaction are examined as parameters for the prediction of cation transport selectivities.

  • The objective of this study was to extensively estimate the air quality trends of the study area by surveying con-centration trends in months or seasons, after analyzing the mass concentration of PM-10 samples and the inorganic lements, ion, and total carbon in PM-10. Also, the study introduced to apply the PMF (Positive Matrix Factoriza-tion) model that is useful when absence of the source profile. Thus the model was thought to be suitable in Korea that often has few information about pollution sources. After obtaining results from the PMF modeling, the existing sources at the study area were qualitatively identified The PM-10 particles collected on quartz fiber filters by a PM-10 high-vol air sampler for 3 years (Mar. 1999∼Dec.2001) in Kyung Hee University. The 25 chemical species (Al, Mn, Ti, V, Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd, Ba, Ce, Pb, Si, N $a^{#}$, N $H_4$$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, C $l^{[-10]}$ , N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , S $O_4$$^{2-}$, TC) were analyzed by ICP-AES, IC, and EA after executing proper pre - treatments of each sample filter. The PMF model was intensively applied to estimate the quantitative contribution of air pollution sources based on the chemical information (128 samples and 25 chemical species). Through a case study of the PMF modeling for the PM-10 aerosols. the total of 11 factors were determined. The multiple linear regression analysis between the observed PM-10 mass concentration and the estimated G matrix had been performed following the FPEAK test. Finally the regression analysis provided source profiles (scaled F matrix). So, 11 sources were qualitatively identified, such as secondary aerosol related source, soil related source, waste incineration source, field burning source, fossil fuel combustion source, industry related source, motor vehicle source, oil/coal combustion source, non-ferrous metal source, and aged sea- salt source, respectively.ively.y.

  • 본 논문에서는 등가회로를 이용하여 브래그 반사층형 FBAR (Film Bulk Acoustic Wave Resonator) 와 membrane 형 FBAR 그리고 상 하부 전극이 공기와 접하는 이상적인 FBAR 의 특성을 서로 비교함으로서 브래그 반사층과 membrane 이 공진 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 압전층으로는 ZnO, membrane 층과 낮은 음향적인 임피던스 반사층은 SiO₂, 높은 음향적인 임피던스 반사층으로는 W, 전극층으로는 Al를 가정하였고 각 층은 탄성파 전달 손실을 가정하였다. 1-port 의 등가회로를 ABCD 파라미터를 추출할 수 있는 단순화된 등가회로로 변환하여 ABCD 파라미터를 추출하여 입력임피던스를 계산하였다. 필터 설계에서는 구하여진 파라미터를 산란행렬로 변환하여 필터의 대역폭 및 삽입손실을 구하였다. 전극층, 반사층, membrane 층의 두께 변화에 의한 공진주파수의 변화는 membrane 층과 전극 바로 아래의 반사층의 두께 변화가 가장 큰 영향을 미친다는 결과를 확인하였다. 반사층 구조에서 반사층수에 따른 공진특성과 K/sub eff/와 electrical Q 의 변화에서는 반사층수가 K/sub eff/ 에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않지만 electrical Q 는 층수가 증가할수록 증가하다가 7층 이상에서 포화되었다. 또한 FBAR의 electrical Q 는 membrane 층과 반사층의 mechanical Q 에 의존함을 알 수 있었다. Ladder 필터와 SCF(Stacked Crystal Filters) 모두 공진기의 수가 증가할수록 삽입손실과 out-of-band rejection 이 증가하였고 층수가 증가할수록 삽입손실은 감소하지만 대역폭에는 거의 변화가 없었다. membrane형의 ladder 필터와 SCF 는 불효 공진 특성으로 인한 불효응답특성이 나타났다. 또한 ladder 필터는 보다 우수한 대역폭의 skirt-selectivity 특성을 나타내었으며 SCF 는 대역폭의 삽입손실 측면에서 더 우수하였다.

  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform a comparative analysis of the ultrastructural and chemical composition of sialoliths, tonsilloliths, and antroliths and to describe their growth pattern. Materials and Methods: We obtained 19 specimens from 18 patients and classified the specimens into three groups: sialolith (A), tonsillolith (B), and antrolith (C). The peripheral, middle, and core regions of the specimens were examined in detail by histology, micro-computed tomography (micro-CT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Results: In the micro-CT, group A showed alternating radiodense and radiolucent layers, while group B had a homogeneous structure. Group C specimens revealed a compact homogeneous structure. Histopathologically, group A showed a laminated, teardrop-shaped, globular structure. Group B demonstrated degrees of immature calcification of organic and inorganic materials. In group C, the lesion was not encapsulated and showed a homogeneous lamellar bone structure. SEM revealed that group A showed distinct three layers: a peripheral multilayer zone, intermediate compact zone, and the central nidus area; groups B and C did not show these layers. The main elemental components of sialoliths were O, C, Ca, N, Cu, P, Zn, Si, Zr, F, Na, and Mg. In group B, a small amount of Fe was found in the peripheral region. Group C had a shorter component list: Ca, C, O, P, F, N, Si, Na, and Mg. TEM analysis of group A showed globular structures undergoing intra-vesicular calcification. In group B, bacteria were present in the middle layer. In the outer layer of the group C antrolith, an osteoblastic rimming was observed. Conclusion: Sialoliths had distinct three layers: a peripheral multilayer zone, an intermediate compact zone and the central nidus area, while the tonsillolith and antrolith specimens lacked distinct layers and a core.
