A highly thermostable xylose isomerase from Thermus thermophilus has been expressed in Escherichia coli and crystallized. The purified enzyme shows its optimum temperature at $90^{\circ}C$. It has been crystallized at room temperature using polyethylene glycol 4000 as the precipitant. The crystal belongs to the orthorhombic space group $P2_12_12_1$, with unit cell parameters of a = 73.34 ${\AA}$, b = 144.05 ${\AA}$, c = 155.07 ${\AA}$. The presence of one molecule of tetrameric xylose isomerase in the asymmetric unit gives a crystal volume per protein mass ($V_m$) of 2.32 ${\AA}^3/Da$ and the solvent content of 47.0% by volume. The diffraction pattern extends to 1.9 ${\AA}$ Bragg spacing with synchrotron radiation and a set of native data has been collected to 2.3 ${\AA}$.

초강인 AISI 4340강을 85$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 오스테나이징 처리 후 수냉하고, 250, 400, $600^{\circ}C$에서 각각 2시간 동안 템퍼링 처리를 하였다. AISI 4340강의 인장 특성은 상온에서 측정되었다. AISI 4340강 위에 니켈 전해도금된 것과 도금되지 않은 시편의 분극 특성이 3.5wt%NaCI 수용액과 인공해수에서 측정되었다. AISI 4340강위에 니켈 전해도금된 시편은 500mV(vs. Ag/AgCI)이하의 전위에서 부식 저항이 크게 향상되었다. 그러나 1A/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 전류밀도에서 30분 이상 니켈 전해도금된 시편은 도금층에 불순물과 기공이 형성되었기 때문에 AISI 4340강의 부식 저항은 감소되었다. AISI 4340강의 수소취화형 응력부식균열을 여러 작용 응력과 음극인가전력에서 U-bend 시편을 이용하여 IN 3.5 wt% NaCI 수용액에서 조사되었고, 수소취화형 응력부식균열 거동은 주사전자현미경으로 조사되었다.

This paper presents a new transient overvoltage blocking device (TOBD) for info-communication facilities with low power and high frequency bandwidth. Conventional protection devices have some problems such as low frequency bandwidth, low energy capacity and high remnant voltage. In order to improve these limitations, thehybrid type TOBD, which consists of a gas tube, avalanche diodes and junction typefield effect transistors (JFETs), was designed and fabricated. The TOBD differs from the conventional protection devices in configuration, and JFETs were used as an active non-linear element and a high speed switching diode with low capacitance limits high current. Therefore the avalanche dilde with low energy capacity are protected fromthe high current, and the TOBD has a very small input capacitance. From the performance test using combination surge generator, which can produce $1.2/50\mus\;4.2kV_{max}\; 8/20\mus\; 2.1kA_{max}$, it is confirmed that proposed TOBD has an excellent protection performance in tight clamping voltage and limiting current characteristics.

we have grown vertically aligned carbon nanotubes on a large area of Co-Ni codeposited Si substrates by thermal chemical vapor deposition using $C_{2}H_{2}$ gas. The carbon nanotubes grown by the thermal chemical vapor deposition are multi-wall structure, and the wall solace of nanotubes is covered with defective carbons or carbonaceous particles. The carbon nanotubes range from 50 to 120nm in diameter and about $130{\mu}m$ in length at $950^{\circ}C$. The turn-on voltage was about $0.8V/{\mu}m$ with a current density of $0.1{\mu}A/cm^2$ and emission current reveals the Fowler-Nordheim mode.

Trivalent ions(Ga, Al, In) doped ZnO films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on non-alkali glass substrate at substrate temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. We used the different three types of high density($95%{\sim}$) ceramic sintered disks(doped with $Ga_2O_3$; 6.65 wt%, $Al_2O_3$; 3.0 wt%, $In_2O_3$; 9.54 wt%). This study examined the effect of different dopants(Ga, Al, In) on the electrical, structural, and optical properties of the films. The lowest resistivity of $5.14{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ and the highest optical band gap of 3.74 eV were obtained by Ga doped ZnO(GZO) film. All the films had a preferred orientation along the(002) direction, indicating that the growth orientation has a c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface. The average transmittance of the films was more than 85% in the visible range.

Alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YJ-451, which was isolated from soil at several area in Korea, produced a novel type of bacteriolytic enzyme (cell wall peptidoglycan hydrolase) extracellulary. The cell wall hydrolytic activity was identified as a clear zone on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis containing 0.2% (w/v) cell wall of Bacillus sp. as substrate. This enzyme was successively purified 66 fold with 3.2% yield in culture broth by ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose column chromatography, and gel filtration, followed by hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 27,000 by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration column chromatography. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the enzyme were pH 10.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was stable between pH 5.0 and 10.0 and up to $40^{\circ}C$. Among the microorganisms used in this experiment the enzyme was active against most of gram negative strains and the genus Bacillus such as B. megaterium, B. licheniformis, B. circulans, B. pumilus, B. macerans, B. polymyxa. The release of dinitrophenylglutamic acid but not reducing group from cell wall peptidoglycan digested by the enzyme suggested that the enzyme is a kind of peptidase which hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the amino group of D-glutamic acid in the peptidoglycan.

This Paper describes technique for the design of system for telemetering the water temperature at sea. This telemetering device adopts FM-FM system, and its main carrier wave is 146.2MHz. The transmission power is about 1W, and the available distance of transmission is 2km. The telemetering time for the transmission and pause is controlled automatically by the CMOS programmable timer. The water temperature is measured by the electronic thermometer, it is varied by V-F converter which is built to a linear voltage controlled oscillator. The results of the experiment at the place where the receiver is off 2km from the transmitter, the water temperature measured with the mercury thermometer well agree with that of the telemetering device.

An intracellular invertase was purified to homogeneity from the cell extract of an alkalophilic and thermophilic Bacillus sp. TA-11, which was classified as a new species belonging to Bacillus cereus based on chemotaxanomic and phylogenetic analyses. The purified enzyme with a recovery of 26.6% was determined to be a monomeric protein with a molecular weight of 23 kDa by SDS-PAGE and 26 kDa by gel filtration. The maximum enzyme activity was observed at pH 7.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, and the purified enzyme was stable at the pH range of 5.0 to 8.0 and below $60^{\circ}C$. $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of the enzyme for sucrose were 370 mM and 3.0 ${\mu}M$ per min, respectively. The enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by bivalent metal ions ($Hg^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ and $Cu^{2+}$) and sugars (glucose and fructose).

기존의 고온에서 제작되는 TiO2 나노 입자를 이용한 염료감응형 태양전지를 저온에서 제작하기 위해 전자 이동층으로 ZnO 나노 입자를 사용하여, 저온($200^{\circ}C$)에서 염료감응태양전지(DSSC)를 제작하였다[1,2]. 상대전극(counter electrode)으로는 RF magnetron sputtering을 사용하여 ITO/glass위에 Pt를 증착하여 태양전지의 특성을 측정하였다. $180^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 hydropolymer가 증발되는 것을 이용하여, ZnO 나노입자와 hydropolymer 혼합한 paste 제작하여 소결 후 ZnO 나노입자 사이에 다공성을 생성시켜 Dye가 잘 침투하여 ZnO 나노입자 표면에 잘 흡착 되도록 하였다[3]. 20 nm 및 60 nm 크기의 ZnO 나노 입자를 사용하여 실험 해본 결과, 20 nm에 비하여 60 nm ZnO 나노입자의 경우 IPCE 값이 약 7% 정도로 높은 전환효율 값을 보였다. 60 nm ZnO 나노입자를 전자 수송층으로 사용한 DSSC 소자에서 단위면적당 흐르는 전류(Jsc), 전압 (Voc), fill factor (ff), 그리고 효율(${\eta}$)의 최대값은 4.93 mA/$cm^2$, 0.56V, 0.40, and 1.12%, 로 보였다.

본 연구에서는 결정질 태양전지 제작에 있어 재료비 절감과 기존의 Screen Printing 공정 기술에서의 단점을 보완하기 위한 방안으로 후면 passivation 구조와 레이저를 이용한 국부적 후면 전극 형성(Laser Fired Contact) 방법에 대한 실험을 진행하였다. 후면 passivation 층으로 SiO2/ SiNx/SiO2 삼중막 구조와 SiNx 단일막 구조를 형성시킨 후 anneal 온도에 따른 소수캐리어의 lifetime 변화를 비교하였다. LFC 형성은 2 ${\mu}m$ 두께의 Al이 증착된 기판 후면에 1,064 nm 파장의 레이저를 통해 diameter와 dot pitch 등의 파라미터를 가변 하여 실시하였다. 실험 결과 800$^{\circ}C$의 고온 열처리 후 ONO 삼중막에서의 lifetime 향상이 우세하여 SiNx 단일 막 보다 열적 안정성이 우수함을 확인하였다. LFC 결과 diameter가 40, 50, 60 ${\mu}m$로 가변된 조건에서는 40 ${\mu}m$ 일 경우와 dot pitch가 200, 500, 1,000 ${\mu}m$로 가변된 조건에서는 1,000 ${\mu}m$일 경우 610 mV의 Voc 값을 보였다. 이는 레이저를 통해 국부적으로 Al-Si 간 alloy를 형성시킴으로써 접촉 면적이 최소화됨에 따라 후면에서의 캐리어의 재결합속도를 감소시키고, passivation 효과를 극대화시키기 때문이다.
