The elemental characteristics of atmospheric aerosols were investigated as a function of particle size and water solubility. The aerosol particles were samples at 12 individual size ranges between 0.01 and 30㎛. Collected aerosol particles were separated into both soluble and insoluble components. The concentrations of 15 elements in both components were determined by a PIXE analysis using a 2.0 MeV-proton beam. In general, the mass size distribution of particulate matter was represented as a bimodal distribution. The maximum rations of S in July and December were 5.5 and 3.8 %, and they appeared in the size range of 0.47∼1.17㎛(stage No. 6 or 7) . The ratios of a S at non-separated size were 3.1 and 2.2 % in July and December, respectively, On the other hand, the maximum rations of Si in July and December were 7.0 and 5.4% and they appeared in the size range of 5.1∼30㎛(stage No. 0∼2). The ratios of Si at the non-separated size were 2.1 and 1.8% in July and December, respectively, The mass diameter of 12 elements ranged between 0.59㎛ of S and 3.20 of Fe. More than 90% of atmospheric aerosols consisted of the light elements such as C, N, O, H and Al. The soluble component was dominant in the smaller size range and the insoluble component in the larger size range. Large portions of Si. Ti and Fe existed in insoluble state. By contrast, S, Cl, Ca, Zn and Br were dissolved in water.

정수처리 과정에서 Cryptosporidium과 유사한 특성을 가지고 있는 C. tracer를 이용하여 공정별 제거효율을 조사하였다. PACI(Poly aluminium chloride, $Al_2O_3$(10%)) 주입량이 10 mg/L일 때 C. tracer는 97.16%로 가장 높은 제거율을 보였으며, 탁도 제거율과 SS 제거율이 높을수록 C. tracer 응집 효율이 높았다. 원수의 pH가 높을수록 C. tracer 제거율이 증가 하였으며 응집 침전 후의 유출수 탁도와 C. tracer 제거율과의 상관성이 $R^2=0.9506$로 높게 나타나 응집 침전 후의 유출수 탁도로 Cryptosporidium 제거 효율을 평가할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 여과 실험에서는 유입 탁도에 따른 C. tracer 제거율은 $94.00{\sim}95.83%$ 범위였으며 유출수 탁도와 C. tracer 제거율과의 상관성은 $R^2=0.8704$였다. 최적 응집 조건 하에서 여과수 탁도가 양호할 경우, 예상되는 Cryptosporidium의 제거율은 응집 침전의 경우 1.55 log(97.16%), 급속모래여과의 경우 1.38 log(95.83%), 응집 침전+급속모래여과의 경우 2.31 log(99.51%)로 나타났다.

이 연구는 한반도 최남단에 위치한 가파도와 마라도를 구성하는 용암류에 대한 $^{40}Ar-^{39}Ar$ 절대연대 자료를 포함한 암석학적 특징을 보고하고 그 화산활동에 대해 고찰한다. 가파도의 용암류는 판상절리가 발달되어 있고 담황색 내지 담회색을 띠는 비현정질 부분과 진회색의 괴상질 부분으로 구분되는데, 암질에 따라 차별적 풍화 침식을 받았다. 한편, 마라도의 용암류는 비록 용암단위별로 그 조직이 미약한 차이를 가지지만, 주로 다공질 혹은 취반상 조직의 용암류이다. 시추코어의 지화학 자료는 가파공의 경우 현무암질 조면안산암($SiO_2$ 52.6-53.6 wt%, $Na_2O+K_2O$ 7.3-7.5 wt%)이, 마라공은 솔리아이트질 안산암($SiO_2$ 51.7-52.8 wt%, $Na_2O+K_2O$ 3.6-4.1 wt%)으로 구성되어 있음을 지시한다. 가파도 암류의 $^{40}Ar-^{39}Ar$ 절대연대는 $824{\pm}32\;Ka$에서 $758{\pm}9\;Ka$로서, 인접한 산방산 조면암(Won et al., 1986)에 대비된다. 한편, 마라도의 것은 $259{\pm}168\;Ka$서, 비록 오차 범위가 넓어 정확한 연대를 제시하지는 못하지만 인접한 덕수공과 상모2호공에서의 암석 성분과 연대 관계를 고려하면 260-150 Ka기간 동안에 형성되었을 것으로 추정된다. 용암류의 산상, 인접 시추공과의 대비 및 해수면하의 지형을 고려하면, 제주도 남서부 지역에서 가파도는 산방산 조면암의 분출시기와 유사한 시기에 화산활동으로 한편, 마라도는 이후 260-150 Ka기간 동안 화산활동에 의해 각각 육상 환경에서 독립된 화산체를 이루었으며, 이후 해침에 의해 침식이 많이 진행되어 현재의 형태를 이루었음을 지시한다.

Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are required for future devices. It is possible that plastic substrates are instead of glass substrates. But the plastic substrates are permeable to moisture and oxygen. This weak point can cause the degradation of fabricated flexible devices; therefore, encapsulation process for flexible substrate is needed to protect organic devices from moisture and oxygen. Y.G. Lee et al.(2009) [1] reported organic and inorganic multilayer structure as an encapsulation barrier for enhanced reliability and life-time.Flowable Oxide process is a low-temperature process which shows the excellent gap-fill characteristics and high deposition rate. Besides, planarization is expected by covering dust smoothly on the substrate surface. So, in this research, Bi-layer structured is used for encapsulation: Flowable Oxide Thin film by PECVD process and Al2O3 thin film by ALD process. The samples were analyzed by water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) using the Calcium test and film cross section images were obtained by FE-SEM.

This study was undertaken to find a new formulation of soil amendment, and selection of antogonists and to effectively control brown and large patch of turfgrasses caused by Rhizoctoniz solani AG1-1 and AG 2-2. Fourteen inorgainc chemicals (1%, w/w) were added individually in vitro, and some chemicals showed suppressiveness to R. solani. Alum suppressed effectively mycelial growth of R. solani in the range of 17 to 77% as compared with control. The four chemicals such as Al2(SO4)3, alum, CaO, and NH4NO3 were finally selected. Out of three organic compounds, composted pine bark (CPB) showed prominent suppressive effect as compared with milled alfalfa and pine leaves. After inoculation of R. solani isolates AG-1 and AG2-2 on the turf seedlings, water soaked lesions and blight symptoms were developed on the whole seedlings. According to inhibition zone method, mycelial growth of the fungus were greatly suppressed by culture filterates of the antagonists, Gliocladium virens (Gl1-) and Pseudomonas sp. (P713). CPB soil amendment mixed with antagonists (1% w/w) controlled not only brown and large patch of turfgrasses, but also promote the good growth of the seedlings. In addition, the controlling effect was maintained more than 30 days. Especially, the controlling effect of two antagonists was similar to Cㅖㅠ soil amendment with the antagonists and also stimulated a favorable growth of the seedlings. Therefore, its is expected that continuous control of Rhizoctonia blight of turfgrasses can be obtained in field by subsequent applications of the antagonists.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is known for its self-limiting reaction, which offers atomic-level controllability of the growth of thin films for a wide range of applications. The self-limiting mechanism leads to very useful properties, such as excellent uniformity over a large area and superior conformality on complex structures. These unique features of ALD provide promising opportunities for future electronics. Although the ALD of Al2O3 film (using trimethyl-aluminum and water as a metal precursor and oxygen source, respectively) can be regarded as a representative example of an ideal ALD based on the completely self-limiting reaction, there are many cases deviating from the ideal ALD reaction in recently developed ALD processes. The nonconventional aspects of the ALD reactions may strongly influence the various properties of the functional materials grown by ALD, and the lack of comprehension of these aspects has made ALD difficult to control. In this respect, several dominant factors that complicate ALD reactions, including the types of metal precursors, non-metal precursors (oxygen sources or reducing agents), and substrates, will be discussed in this presentation. Several functional materials for future electronics, such as higher-k dielectrics (TiO2, SrTiO3) for DRAM application, and resistive switching materials (NiO) for RRAM application, will be addressed in this talk. Unwanted supply of oxygen atoms from the substrate or other component oxide to the incoming precursors during the precursor pulse step, and outward diffusion of substrate atoms to the growing film surface even during the steady-state growth influenced the growth, crystal structure, and properties of the various films.

The benthic environmental impact experiment addresses environmental impacts at a specific site related to deep-sea mineral resource development. We have acquired several tens of multi- or box core samples at 31 sites within the Benthic environmental Impact Site (BIS) since 2010, aiming to examine the basic properties of surficial deep-sea sediment as a potential source for deep-water plumes. In this study, we present the geochemical properties such as major elements, rare earth elements (REEs), and heavy metal contents at the BIS. Such proxies vary distinctly according to the Facies association. The lithology of all core sediments in the BIS corresponds to both Association Ib and Association IIIb. The vertical profiles of some major elements ($SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3$, CaO, $P_2O_5$, MgO, MnO) show noticeable differences between Association Ib and IIIb, while others ($Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $Na_2O$, and $K_2O$) do not vary between Association Ib and IIIb. REEs are also distinctly different for Associations Ib and IIIb; in Association Ib, REY and HREE/LREE are uniform through the sediment section, while they increase downward in Association IIIb like the major elements; below a depth of 8 cm, REY is over 500 ppm. The metal enrichment factor (EF) evaluates the anthropogenic influences of some metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, and Cd) in marine sediments. In both Associations, the EF for Cu is over 1.5, the EF for Ni and Pb ranges from 0.5 to 1.5, and the EF for Zn and Cd are less than 0.5, indicating Cu is enriched but Zn and Cd are relatively depleted in the BIS. The vertical variations of geochemical properties between Association Ib and IIIb are shown to be clearly different, which seems to be related to the global climate changes such as the shift of Intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ).

본 연구는 전해수, 구연산, 차아염소산나트륨의 단독 또는 병용 처리에 의한 양상치에 오염된 총균수, 효모 및 곰팡이는 물론, 인위적으로 접종한 Listeria monocytogenes와 Escherichia coli O157:H7에 대한 저감화 효과를 조사하였으며 살균효능은 침지 시간(3, 5, and 10분)과 침지 온도(1, RT, 40, and $50^{\circ}C$)의 변화에 따른 각 처리구의 살균력을 조사하였다. 또한, 알칼리전해수와 구연산의 병용처리에 의한 양상치의 저장 중 갈변저해효과를 탐색 하였다. 침지 시간에 따른 각 처리구의 미생물 살균력은 전해수 (산성전해수와 알칼리 전해수)가 동일 조건에서 100 ppm 차아염소산나트륨보다 높았으며 모든 처리구에서 3분보다는 5분이상 침지 시 현저하게 살균력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 침지 온도에 의한 각 처리구의 살균력은 온도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 온도증가에 의한 살균력의 차이가 없었다. 반면, 알칼리 전해수나 구연산 단독 처리구에 비하여 병용 처리시 양상치에 오염된 총균수와 효모 및 곰팡이에 대한 살균력은 모든 침지 온도에서 현저하게 증가하였으며 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 완전하게 사멸하는 것으로 나타났으나 L. monocytogenes와 E.coli O157:H7는 같은 조건에서 처리구에 대한 저항성이 증가하였다. 한편, 양상치를 상온이나 $40^{\circ}C$에서 알칼리 전해수와 구연산 병용 처리구로 침지하여 $4^{\circ}C$에서 15일간 저장하였을 때 단독 처리구에 비하여 현저하게 갈변저해효과가 있는 것으로 나타나 병용처리구는 양상치의 품질향상은 물론 미생물의 생육을 저해하는데 좋은 항균제로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Drought stress is threatening the growth and productivity of many economical crops. Therefore, it is necessary to establish innovative and efficient approaches for improving crop growth and productivity. Here we investigated the potentials of the cell-free extract of Actinobacteria (Ac) isolated from a semi-arid habitat (Al-Jouf region, Saudi Arabia) to recover the reduction in maize growth and improve the physiological stress tolerance induced by drought. Three Ac isolates were screened for production of secondary metabolites, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The isolate Ac3 revealed the highest levels of flavonoids, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in addition to having abilities to produce siderophores and phytohormones. Based on seed germination experiment, the selected bioactive fraction of Ac3 cell-free extract (F2.7, containing mainly isoquercetin), increased the growth and photosynthesis rate under drought stress. Moreover, F2.7 application significantly alleviated drought stress-induced increases in H₂O₂, lipid peroxidation (MDA) and protein oxidation (protein carbonyls). It also increased total antioxidant power and molecular antioxidant levels (total ascorbate, glutathione and tocopherols). F2.7 improved the primary metabolism of stressed maize plants; for example, it increased in several individuals of soluble carbohydrates, organic acids, amino acids, and fatty acids. Interestingly, to reduce stress impact, F2.7 accumulated some compatible solutes including total soluble sugars, sucrose and proline. Hence, this comprehensive assessment recommends the potentials of actinobacterial cell-free extract as an alternative ecofriendly approach to improve crop growth and quality under water deficit conditions.

The outdoor polymeric insulating materials such as silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer(EPDM), ethylene vinyl acetate(EVA) and epoxy are aged by various natural environment with the long-term performance in outdoor. In this paper, the effects of UV-ray on surface of silicone rubber were investigated by using the weather-Ometer. The accelerated aging stresses were simulated by UV radiation. high temperature and humidity as well as water spray. These the aging characteristics were examined through contact angle measurements, tracking resistance test, FT-IR and SEM/EDS analysis. the experimental results showed that tracking resistance decreases with increase in the UV-ray irradiation period. But the surface of silicone rubber kept hydrophobicity. It is found that the inorganic filler such as $Al(OH)_3$ improves tracking resistance and the $TiO_2$ is very effective in preventing degradation of silicone rubber surface from UV-ray.
