  • 염료감응 태양전지는 실리콘 태양전지에 비해 단가가 낮고 반투명하며 친환경적 특성으로 차세대 태양전지로 주목을 받았으나 염료의 안정성의 문제와 특정 파장대의 빛만 흡수하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 양자구속 효과에 의해 크기에 따라 밴드갭 조절이 용이하여 다양한 파장대의 빛을 흡수 할 수 있는 양자점 감응태양전지가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 하지만 양자점 감응 태양 전지의 활성층으로 사용되는 반도체 산화물인 이산화티타늄의 두께는 $13{\sim}18{\mu}m$로 짧은 확산거리로 인해 전하수집의 한계를 가지고 있다. 이를 극복하기 위해 인듐 주석 산화물 나노선을 합성하여 전자가 광전극에 직접유입이 가능하도록 해 빠른 전하이동 및 전하수집을 가능하게 한다. 인듐 주석 산화물 나노선은 증기수송 방법(VTM)을 이용하여 인듐 주석 산화물 유리 기판 위에 $5{\sim}30{\mu}m$ 길이로 합성하였다. 전해질과 전자가 손실되는 것을 방지하기 위해 원자층 증착법(ALD)을 이용하여 이산화 티타늄 차단층을 20 nm 두께로 코팅한 후 화학증착방법(CBD)을 이용하여 인듐 주석 산화물 나노선-이산화 티타늄 코어-쉘 구조를 만든다. 마지막으로 황화카드뮴, 카드늄셀레나이드, 황화아연을 증착시킨 후 다황화물 전해질을 이용하여 양자점 감응 태양전지를 제작하였다. 특성 평가를 위해 전계방사 주사전자현미경, X-선 회절, 고분해능 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하며 intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS), intensity modulated voltage spectroscopy (IMVS)를 이용하여 전하수집 특성평가를 하였다.

  • As sewer flooding frequents due to localized and concentrated stormwater and increased non-permeable surface area after urbanization, building cities with sound water recycle and accordingly efficient management of rainwater is demanded. To do this, the existing sewage (including rainwater) fee imposition system should be philosophically evaluated. This study presents problematic issues of the existing domestic sewage fee imposition system considering the principle of sharing costs on the service of sewage and rainwater collection and treatment. Four methods to improve the existing sewage fee imposition system are suggested: 1) imposing stormwater fee according to Polluter Pays Principle, 2) clarification of the share of public sector, 3) reducing or exempting the sewerage fee for inhabitants reducing urban runoff by constructing their own rainwater management facilities, 4) imposing charge for discharging rainwater to sewers due to new development action. Short, mid, or long term planning for rainwater management is recommended considering the situation of each municipality.

  • Purpose: This study is to investigate the effect of nurse's competency empowerment and boss' job competency recognition on work performance. Methods: 216 nurses participated for data collection which was conducted from September 1, 2011 to September 10, 2011. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS/WIN 16.0 and with frequency test, ANOVA, Scheff$\acute{e}$ test and Multiple regression. Results: Firstly, the work performance in accordance with subject's general characteristics was found to be significant in the 50s, graduate school or higher education, Roman Catholic, charge nurse and 21-years or older. Secondly, the correlation among nurse's competency empowerment, boss' competency recognition and work performance was found to be positively related (r=.501~.639, p<.001). Thirdly, competency empowerment was found to be the most effective factor for work performance, followed by boss' competency recognition and career year, and these factors accounted for 63.5%. Conclusion: As the results show that the work performance is highly affected by the nurse's competency empowerment, boss' competency recognition level and career level in clinical environment, effective education programs are required to provide an appropriate experience to both entry-level and experienced nurses, as well as to enhance boss' competency empowerment at the same time.

  • This research is to restructure the public assessment of housing management in a standardized fashion, and a self-administered questionnaire survey was employed for data collection and analysis. In doing so, all the assessment tools nationwide were identified and assembled to extract the items included in the survey form. The survey form was mailed out to local officers in charge of housing management and professional housing managers in the nation, and the responses were statistically analyzed in order to structure the standard assessment tool of housing management. This research classified 3 main areas (General Maintenance, Operation and Community Living) in evaluating the housing management performance, and identified 35 essential items and 52 optional items. The 35 essential items were drawn from the 16 categories of the 3 areas (11 items of 5 categories for General Maintenance, 7 items of 4 categories for Operation, and 17 items of 7 categories for Community Living), and the rest 52 optional items were from the 16 categories of the 3 areas (24 items of 7 categories for General Maintenance, 26 items of 7 categories for Operation, and 2 items of 2 categories for Community Living). While all the items in the research are quantifiable, it's suggested that qualitative measurements be complementarily utilized in the assessment not only to explore the best practices of housing management but also to refine and modify the standardized tool in response to various environmental changes. As the public assessment of housing management is context-sensitive and critically related to local housing profile, the continuous implementation of the assessment will facilitate shifting the housing paradigm from production and consumption to management and reproduction.

  • A particle flow visualization, electrostatic charging measurement and separation of triboelectrically charged particles in the external electric field by a fluidized bed tribocharger are conducted for the removal of PVC particles from mixed waste plastics. The laboratory-scale triboelectrostatic separation system consists of the fluidized bed tribocharger, a separation chamber, a collection chamber and a controller. PVC and PET particles can be imparted negative and positive surface charges respectively due to the difference of triboelectric charging series between particles and particles in the fluidized bed tribocharger, and can be separated by passing them through an external electric field. To visualize these charged particles, He-Ne laser is used with cylindrical lenses to generate a sheet beam. In the charging measurement, the particle motion analysis system (PMAS), capable of determining particle velocity and diameter. is used to non-intrusively measure particle behavior in high strength electric field. The average charge-to-mass ratios of PVC and PET particles are $1.4\;and\;1.2{\mu}C/kg$, respectively. The highly concentrated PVC (91.9%) can be recovered with a yield of about 96.1% from the mixture of PVC and PET materials for a single-stage processing. The triboelectrostatic separation system using the fluidized tribocharger shows the potential to be an effective method for removing PVC from mixed plastics for waste plastic recycling.
