본 논문에서는 SILVACO 사의 ATHENA와 ATLAS를 이용하여 후면 전극 실리콘 태양전지 (back contact silicon solar cell)의 전면 텍스쳐링 (texturing) 깊이 (depth)와 텍스쳐링 간격 (gap)에 따른 태양전지 효율(efficiency)에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 제안한 후면 전극 실리콘 태양전지는 (100) silicon wafer(n-type, $6{\times}10^{15}\;cm^{-3}$)을 기반으로 전면부에 텍스쳐링을, 후면부에 BSF(back surface field, $1{\times}10^{20}\;cm^{-3}$)와 에미터(emitter, $8.5{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$)를 구성하고, 셀간 피치를 1250 ${\mu}m$, BSF와 에미터의 간격을 25 ${\mu}m$으로 한 구조이다. 텍스쳐링 간격이 없이 텍스쳐링 깊이를 0 ${\mu}m$에서 150 ${\mu}m$으로 증가시켜 분석한 결과, 텍스쳐링 깊이가 증가할수록 효율이 23.90%에서 25.79%로 증가하였다. 텍스쳐링 간격을 1 ${\mu}m$에서 100 ${\mu}m$으로 증가시켜 분석한 결과, 텍스쳐링 깊이와 상관없이 텍스쳐링 간격이 증가할수록 후면 전극 실리콘 태양전지의 효율이 감소하였다. 텍스쳐링 유무에 따라 후면 전극 태양전지의 외부양자효율의 차이를 보였고 텍스쳐링이 있을 때 외부양자효율이 보다 높은 값을 얻었다.

The objective of this work is not only to perform feasibility studies on the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis for the capillary system design but also to provide an enhanced understanding of the autonomous capillary flow. The capillary flow is evaluated by means of the commercial CFD software of FLUENT, which includes the VOF (volume-of-fluid) model for multiphase flow analysis. The effect of wall adhesion at fluid interfaces in contact with rigid boundaries is considered in terms of static contact angle. Feasibility studies are first performed, including mesh-resolution influence on pressure profile, which has a sudden increase at the liquid/gas interface. Then we perform both 2D and 3D simulations and examine the transient nature of the capillary flow. Analytical solutions are also derived for simple cases and compared with numerical results. Through this work, essential information on the capillary system design is brought out. Our efforts and initial success in numerical description of the microfluidic capillary flows enhance the fundamental understanding of the autonomous capillary flow and will eventually pave the road for full-scale, computer-aided design of microfluidic networks.

The artificial discs have recently used to preserve the motion of the treated segment in lumbar spine surgery. However, there have been lack of biomechanical information of the artificial discs to explain current clinical controversies such as long-term results of implant wear and excessive facet contact forces. In this study, we investigated the biomechanical effects of three artificial implants on the lumbar spinal segments by finite element analysis. The finite element model of intact lumbar spine(L1-S) was developed and the three implants were inserted in L4-L5 segment of the spine model. 5 Nm of flexion and extension moments were applied on the superior plate of L1 with 400 N of compressive load. Excessive motions and high facet contact forces at the surgical level were generated in the all three implanted models. In the flexion, the peak von-Mises stresses in the semi-constrained type implant was higher than those in the un-constrained type implant which would cause wear on the polyethylene core. The results of the study would provide a biomechanical guideline for selecting optimal surgical approach or evaluating the current design of the implants, or developing a new implant.

The breech system can be considered as a pressure vessel with an internal plug under high explosive pressure. The system consists of a breech block(internal plug) whose front surface subjects to pressure, and a breech ring(pressure vessel). There is the geometric discontinuity around roots of connection parts and then stress concentration is introduced due to pressure, where contact effect may be ignored because contact plane between two equipments is parallel ideally, Generally high stress concentration phenomena shorten the life cycle of the mechanical system. It is well known that shock load is much more harmful on safety of the system than static load. In this present paper, several geometric design variables which may affect stress condition on the system are chosen and the parametric study on the design variables is carried using commercial FEM codes. Finally, the obtained results in the single lug breech system are applied to design the 3 lugs breech system. The 3 lugs breech system can reduce the maximum stress level.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the factors of CRM(Customer Relationship Management) activity and the difference in CRM effects according to customers responses. The investigators interviewed the buyers of three department stores in Daejeon area and surveyed 468 people aged over 20 who had ever shopped at those stores. For data analysis, we used factorial analysis, multiple regression analysis, path analysis, and ANOVA, etc., along with SPSS 10.0. The results of this study are as follows: 1) Six CRM activity factors were identified as 'Benefit & Information,' 'Service,' 'Customer Invitation,' 'Customer Contact,' 'Special Management,' and 'Purchase-related Help.' 2) Customer satisfaction of CRM-positive group was affected by such factors as 'Service,' 'Customer Invitation,' and 'Special Management,' and also customer loyalty directly by 'Customer Satisfaction' and 'Benefit & Information.' On the other hand, customer satisfaction of CRM-less-positive-group was influenced by the factors such as 'Service,' 'Purchase-related Help,' 'Customer Contact,' and 'Special Management,' and also customer loyalty directly by 'Customer Satisfaction' and 'Service.'

Friction occurs when surfaces that are in contact move relatively between solid surfaces, fluid layers, and materials slide against one another. This friction force causes wear on the contact surface, generates unwanted heat and leads to performance degradation. Thus, much research has been performed to avoid friction reduction. Among these studies, a textured surface that has micro patterns on the surface has drawn attention for its ability to reduce friction. A mathematical model is developed in this study to examine friction reduction due to the texture of a surface. Numerical simulations are carried out with respect to various factors such as the shape aspect ratio and texture depth of a diamond-shaped texture in the hydrodynamic lubrication regime. As a result, a shape aspect ratio of 1 is best for friction reduction.

Nylon fabric was grafted for the purpose of the development of detergency against the hemoglobin as a protein soil. By free-radical producing chemical initiator systems the graft using acrylic acid(AA) as a hydrophilic vinyl monomer was performed to change surface energies in the presence of ammonium persulfate(APS) as an initiator and then acrylic acid grafted Nylon was treated with NaOH solution. The surface morphology for Nylon-g-NaAA with changing graft rate were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) The properties of the Nylon such as diameter tenacity elongation contact angle and the hemoglobin removal were also investigated. The diameter of grafted Nylon fiber increased as the graft ratio increased. The tenacity of grafted Nylon also increased with increasing graft ratio up to 15% The elongation however decreased gradually according to graft, The contact angle decreased after graft and alkaline treatment. The amount of hemoglobin on the grafted Nylon increased in proportion to the graft ratio. Hemoglobin was easily removed from grafted Nylon while it was difficult to be removed from ungrafted Nylon. The detergency of hemoglobin for grafted Nylon decreased when the graft ratio exceeded 15% The removal of hemoglobin increased markedly with increasing hemoglobin content and revolution speed. Therefore the removal of hemoglobin was improved due to graft and alkaline treatment.

The present work has been focused on the development of polysulfone (PSf) ultrafiltration membrane via blending by sulfonated polyethersulfone (SPES) in order to permeability enhancement for ultrafiltration of cheese whey. In this regards, sulfonation of polyethersulfone was carried out and the degree of sulfonation was estimated. The effect of blend ratio on morphology, porosity, permeation and fouling of PSf / SPES membranes was investigated. Filtration experiments of whey were conducted for separation of macromolecules and proteins from the lactose enrichment phase. The morphology and performance of membranes were evaluated using different techniques such SEM, AFM, and contact angle measurements. The contact angle measurement showed that the hydrophilicity of membrane was increased by adding SPES. According to AFM images, PSf / SPES membranes exhibited lower roughness compared to neat PSf membrane. The water and whey flux of these membranes were higher than neat membrane. However, flux was decreased when the PSf / SPES blend ratio was 0/100. It can be attributed to pore size and morphology changes. Further, fouling parameters of PSf membrane were improved after blending. The blend membranes show a great potential to be used practically in proteins separation from cheese whey.

Exposure of skin to UV-B radiation can cause inflammatory response and immunosuppression. It has been reported that Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) has several pharmacological and physiological effects such as antioxidant, anticancer and improving immune function. In this study, we investigated that topical KRG and KRG + EGb 761 (Ginkgo biloba extract) combination prevented UV-B induced inflammation and inhibition of contact hypersensitivity response. Topical application of KRG, f days prior to or 5 days after exposure to 1MED and 2MED of UV-B, reduced skin thickness compared to non -treated group and resulted in protection against immunosuppression. However, KRG+EGb 761 combination has a little protection against the only 1MED UV-B. In conclusion. Topical application of KRG was more effective than combination in protection against UV-B induced inflammation and immune suppression. Also, we suggest that KRG can provide protection from inflammation and immunosuppression by UV-B radiation.

A single slab concrete pavement has been modeled and analyzed by ABAQUS program. The stress and displacement of the JCP slab under traffic load with frictionless contact interaction between slab and base calculated by ABAQUS program have been compared with the results obtained by KENSLABS program. The results of the stresses of the two modeling show similar tendency and the difference of the two modeling is very small however the results of the displacement of the two modeling show some dissimilarity. In order to analyze the effects of material and geometric properties on the responses of slab, some varying parameters were chosen as input for the modeling. The changing parameters include the thickness and elastic modulus of the concrete slab, the thickness and elastic modulus of base and the elastic modulus of the subgrade. The contact interaction between the slab and base layer had been also studied and different friction coefficient 0, 2.5, 6.6, 7.5, 8.9 had been used to simulate the different friction interface condition. The results of the analysis showed that the responses of the concrete slab vary with the material and geometric properties of the pavement structure and the slab-base friction condition.
