In this study, we fabricated the flexible pentacene TFTs with the polymer gate dielectric and contact printing method by using the silver nano particle ink as a source/drain material on plastic substrate. In this experiment, to lower the cross-linking temperature of the PVP gate dielectric, UV-Ozone treatment has been used and the process temperature is lowered to $90^{\circ}C$ and the surface is optimized by various treatment to improve device characteristics. We tried various surface treatments; $O_2$ Plasma, hexamethyl-disilazane (HMDS) and octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) treatment methods of gate dielectric/semiconductor interface, which reduces trap states such as -OH group and grain boundary in order to improve the OTFTs properties. The optimized OTFT shows the device performance with field effect mobility, on/off current ratio, and the sub-threshold slope were extracted as $0.63cm^2 V^{-1}s^{-1}$, $1.7{\times}10^{-6}$, and of 0.75 V/decade, respectively.

박막형 태양전지에 관한 연구는 1954년 D.C. Reynolds 가 단결정 CdS 에서 광기전력을 발견하면서부터 시작되었다. 고효율 단결정 규소 태양전지가 간편하게 제작되고 박막형 태양전지의 수명문제가 대두되어 한때는 연구가 중단되어지기도 하였으나, 에너지 문제가 심각해지면서 값이 저렴하고 넓은 면적에 쉽게 실용화 할 수 있는 박막형 태양전지에 많은 관심을 가지게 되었다. 박막형 태양전지에 사용되는 CdS는 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체로서 에너지금지대폭이 2.42eV인 직접천이형 n-type 반도체로서 대부분의 태양광을 통과시킬 수 있으며 가시광선을 잘 투과시키고 낮은 비저항으로서 광흡수층인 CdTe/$CuInSe_2$ 등과 같이 태양전지의 광투과층(윈도레이어)으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 이종접합 박막형 태양전지의 효율을 높이기 위해선 윈도레이어 재료인 CdS 박막의 낮은 전기 비저항치와 높은 광 투과도 값이 요구되어지고 있다. CdS 박막의 제작방법으로는 spray pyrolysis법, 스크린프린팅, 소결법, puttering법, 전착법, CBD(chemical bath deposition)법 및 진공증착법 등의 여러 가지 방법들이 보고되었다. 이 중 sputtering의 경우, 다른 방법들에서는 얻기 어려운 매우 얇은 두께의 박막 증착이 가능하며, 균일성 또한 우수하다. 또한 대면적화가 용이하여 양산화 기술로는 다른 제조 방법들에 비해 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 sputtering에 의해 증착한 CdS의 박막에 광투과도 등의 향상을 위하여 CMP( chemical mechanical polishing) 공정을 적용하여 표면 특성을 개선하고자 하였다. 그 기초적인 자료로서 CdS 박막의 CMP 공정 조건에 따른 연마율과 비균일도, 표면 특성 등을 ellipsometer, AFM(atomic force microscopy) 및 SEM(scanning electron microscope) 등을 활용 하여 분석하였다.

Antimicrobial activity of UlGeum (Curcuma longa L.) was investigated. Methanol extract of dried UlGeum was fractionated to hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, butanol and water fraction. The antimicrobial activity of five crude fractions were examined using impregnated paper disk agar diffusion. Ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest inhibitory effect on the microorganisms such as B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli, L. monocytogenes and V. parahaemolyticus at 1,000 ${\mu}g$/disc. Ethyl acetate fraction was further fractionated by silica gel column and thin layer chromatography (TLC). The antimicrobial compound was isolated from their fractions and its chemical structure was identified as a 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran by GC-MS and $^1H$-NMR.

Calculated chemical scores (computed in relation to the FAO/WHO reference protein) for salmon liver protein hydrolysates indicated that all amino acids (other than methionine and threonine) were present in adequate or excess quantities; thus, the raw liver material is a good source of essential amino acids. The hydrophobic amino acids contents in hydrolysates prepared from Oncorhynchus keta and O. gorbuscha were 38.4 and 39.1%, respectively. The proportion of released peptides exceeding 500 kDa was reduced when hydrolysates were treated with the commercial enzyme Alcalase, although proportions in the following MW ranges were elevated: 100-500 kDa and <50 kDa. The optimal conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were as follows: pH 7.0, $50^{\circ}C$, and a reaction time of 1 h. Of the different proteases tested, Alcalase was the most efficient for production of salmon liver hydrolysate with the highest 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity. The hydrolysates prepared from salmon liver had a balanced amino acid composition. The liver protein hydrolysates contained low molecular weight peptides, some of which may be bio-active; this bio-active potential should be investigated. Inhibition of the DPPH radical increased with increased degree of hydrolysis (DH), regardless of protease type. DPPH radical scavenging abilities, antithrombotic effects and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase enzyme inhibition effects of O. keta liver hydrolysate increased in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, salmon liver hydrolysate may be useful in functional food applications and as a source of novel products.

A new method for the simultaneous determination of seven transition metal ions in water and food by microcolumn high-performance liquid chromatography has been developed. The lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, cobalt, silver and tin ions were pre-column derivatized with tetra-(4-aminophenyl)-porphyrin ($T_4$-APP) to form the colored chelates which were then enriched by solid phase extraction with $C_{18}$ cartridge. The enrichment factor of 50 was achieved by eluted the retained chelates from the cartridge with tetrahydrofuran (THF). The chelates were separated on a ZORBAX Stable Bound microcolumn ($2.0{\times}50\;mm,\;1.8\;{\mu}m$)with methanol-tetrahydrofuran (95 : 5, v/v, containing 0.05 mol/L pyrrolidine-acetic acid buffer salt, pH = 10.0) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min and detected with a photodiode array detector from 350-600 nm. The seven chelates were separated completely within 2.0 min. The detection limits of lead, cadmium, mercury, nickel, cobalt, silver and tin are 4 ng/L, 3 ng/L, 6 ng/L, 5 ng/L, 5 ng/L, 6 ng/L, 4 ng/L respectively in the original samples. This method was applied to the determination of the seven transition metal in water and food samples with good results.

This presentation explores on the perceptual characteristics of the lateral sound /l/ in CV syllables. At initial position we found that /l/ has well marked formant transitions. Then several questions arise: 1) are these formant structures dependent on the following vowel\ulcorner. 2) Are the formant transitions giving an additional cue for the identification\ulcorner Considering that the French vocalic system presents a greater variety of vowels than Spanish, several experiments were designed to verify to what extent a more extensive range of vocalic timbres contribute to the perception of /l/. Natural emissions of /l/ produced in Argentine Spanish and Canadian French CV syllables were recorded, where V was successively /i, e, a, o, u/ for Spanish and /i, e, $\varepsilon$, a, $\alpha$, o, u, y, \phi$/ for French. For each item, the segment C was maintained and V was replaced by cutting & splicing by each of the remaining vowels without transitions. Results of the identification tests for Spanish show that natural /l/ segments with low Fl and high formants F3, F4 can be clearly identified in the /i, e, u/ vowel contexts without transitions. For French subjects the combination of /l/ with a vowel without transitions reflected correct identifications for its own original vowel context in /e, $\varepsilon$, y, $\phi$/. For both languages, in all these combinations, F1 values remained rather steady along the syllable. In the case of /o, u/ very likely the F2 difference lead to a variety of perceptions of the original /l/. For example in Ilul, French subjects reported some identifications of /l/ as a vowel, mainly /y/. Our observations reinforce the importance of F1 as a relevant cue for /l/, and the incidence of the relative distance between formants frequencies of both components.

Pt(001)의 깨끗한 표면은 재배열된 (5x20) 또는 (nxn) 구조를 갖는다. 이러한 재배열된 구조는 소？의 가스를 흡착에 대해서도 (1x1)구조로 다시 재배열되는 재배열인 쉽게 풀리는 준안정적 재배열 구조를 갖는 표면이다. Pt(100) 표면 위에 Ni과 같은 금속을 흡착시키는 경우도 동일하게 표면의 장력을 해소시켜 (1x1) 표면을 만든다. Pt와 Ni과 같은 덩어리 상태에서 Pt와 Ni가 질서있게 교차되어 배열되는 합금이 쉽게 이루어지는 물질들로 잘 알려져 있고, 이 합금은 Pt나 Ni와 동일한 규칙적인 fcc 구조를 갖는다. 따라서 Pt(100) 표면 위에 Ni를 흡착시키는 것은 Nm/Cu(100)과 같은 표면합금이나 Mn/Ag(1000에서 보이는 2층으로 된 표면 합금과 같은 표면 근방에 국한된 질서있는 표면 합금의 가능성이 있다. 또한 Ni/Pt(100)은 Ni과 Pt가 3대 1의 비로 조합될 때 나타나는 Ni3Pt의 층별구조인 표면에 Ni가 채워져 있고, 다음 층에 Ni와 Pt가 50%씩 질서 있게 섞여 있는 형태의 구조 즉 표면 밑 합금이 나타날 수 있는 가능성이 있는 물질계라는 점에서 관심을 갖게 한다. 본 연구는 LEED를 이용하여 Ni/Pt(100) 박막의 층별구조를 확인하고자 한다. PtNi 합금은 ATA(average t-matirx approximation)을 이용한 LEED 분석이 잘 적용되는 물질계로 알려져 있고, 본 연구는 ATA를 적용한 LEED I/V 분석을 통하여 Ni가 성장된 Pt(100) 표면의층별 농도비와 층별 구조를 구하고자 한다. 실험은 기본 압력이 3x10-11torr인 챔버에서 이루어졌으며, 증착시 압력은 5x10 torr이고, 증착은 열증발 방법을 이용하였다. Ni가 증착됨에 따라 (nxn) 재배열 표면에 기인한 extra spot들의 세기는 점차 감소하고 특정 증착량 이상에서부터 이 (nxn)의 spot들이 사라지고 깨끗한 (1x1) 패턴이 나타난다. 계속되는 증착량의 증가에 대해서도 이 (1x1) 형태는 유지되며, 표면의 질서에 따르는 c(2x20 패턴은 보이지 않았다. (1x1) LEED spot를 보임에도 불구하고 덩어리 절단 형태의 구조를 기반으로 한 LEED I/V 분석으로는 잘 맞출수 없었다. 이것은 Ni가 일정 이상 흡착된 경우 그 구조가 덩어리 절단 형태의 fcc(100) 구조와 벗어난 구조를 가지는 것으로 보인다.

To evaluate the effects of pesticides to parasite eggs, Ascaris suum eggs were incubated with 5 different pesticides (1:1,500-1:2,000 dilutions of 2% emamectin benzoate, 5% spinetoram, 5% indoxacarb, 1% deltamethrin, and 5% flufenoxuron; all v/v) at $20^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks, and microscopically evaluated the egg survival and development on a weekly basis. The survival rate of A. suum eggs incubated in normal saline (control eggs) was $90{\pm}3%$ at 6 weeks. However, the survival rates of eggs treated with pesticides were 75-85% at this time, thus significantly lower than the control value. Larval development in control eggs commenced at 3 weeks, and $73{\pm}3%$ of eggs had internal larvae at 6 weeks. Larvae were evident in pesticide-treated eggs at 3-4 weeks, and the proportions of eggs carrying larvae at 6 weeks ($36{\pm}3%-54{\pm}3%$) were significantly lower than that of the control group. Thus, pesticides tested at levels similar to those used in agricultural practices exhibited low-level ovicidal activity and delayed embryogenesis of A. suum eggs, although some differences were evident among the tested pesticides.

A total of 247 samples were collected from groundwater being used for drinking-water supply, and hydrogeochemistry and radionuclide analysis were performed. In-situ analysis of groundwaters resulted in ranges of $13.7{\sim}25.1^{\circ}C$ for temperature, 5.9~8.5 for pH, 33~591 mV for Eh, $66{\sim}820{\mu}S/cm$ for EC, and 0.2~9.4 mg/L for DO. Major cation and anion concentrations of groundwaters were in ranges of 0.5~227.6 for Na, 1.0~279.3 for Ca, 0.0~9.3 for K, 0.1~100.1 for Mg, 0.0~3.3 for F, 0.9~779.1 for Cl, 0.3~120.4 for $SO_4$, 0.0~27.4 for $NO_3$-N, and 6~372 mg/L for $HCO_3$. Uranium-238 and radon-222 concentrations were detected in ranges of N.D-$131.1{\mu}g/L$ and 18-15,953 pCi/L, respectively. In case of some groundwaters exceeding USEPA MCL level ($30{\mu}g/L$) for uranium concentration, their pH ranged from 6.8 to 8.0 and Eh showed a relatively low value(86~199 mV) compared to other areas. Most groundwaters belonged to Ca-(Na)-$HCO_3$ type, and groundwaters of metamorphic rock exhibited the highest concentration of Na, Mg, Ca, Cl, $NO_3$-N, U, and those of plutonic rock showed the highest concentration of $HCO_3$, and Rn. Uranium and fluoride from granite areas did not show any correlation. However, uranium and bicarbonate displayed a positive relation of some areas in plutonic rocks($R^2$=0.3896).

We describe fabrication of superhydrophobic surface on non-woven fabric (NWF) having nano-hairy structures and a hydrophobic surface coating. Oxygen plasma was irradiated on NWF for nano-texuring and a precursor of HMDSO (Hexamethydisiloxane) was introduced as a surface chemical modification for obtaining superhydrophobicity using 13.56 MHz radio frequency-Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (rf-PECVD). O2 plasma treatment time was varied from 1 min to 60 min at a bias voltage of 400V, which fabricated pillar-like structures with diameter of 30 nm and height of 150 nm on NWF. Subsequently, hydrophobic coating using hexamethyldisiloxane vapor was deposited with 10 nm thickness on NWF substrate at a bias voltage of 400 V. We evaluate superhydrophobicity of the modified NWF with sessile drop using goniometer and high speed camera, in which aspect ratio of nanohairy structures, contact angle and contact angle hysteresis of the surfaces were measured. With the increase of aspect ratio, the wetting angle increased from $103^{\circ}$ to $163^{\circ}$, and the contact angle hysteresis decreased dramatically below $5^{\circ}$. In addition, we had conducted experiment for nucleation and condensation of water via E-SEM. During increasing vapor pressure inside E-SEM from 3.7 Torr to over 6 Torr which is beyond saturation point at $2^{\circ}C$, we observed condensation of water droplet on the superhydropobic NWF. While the condensation of water on oxygen plasma treated NWF (superhydrophilic) occurred easily and rapidly, superhydrophobic NWF which was fabricated by oxygen and HMDSO was hardly wet even under supersaturation condition. From the result of wetting experiment and water condensation via E-SEM, it is confirmed that superhydrophobic NWF shows the grate water repellent abilities.
