  • We successfully fabricated C-doped ex-situ $MgB_2$ wires using two different methods such as mechanical alloying(MA) and combined process(CP) of in-situ and ex-situ. In the MA, the precursor powder was prepared with a mixture of $MgB_2$ and 1 at% C powders by planetary ball milling for 0-100 h. In the CP, on the other hand, C-doped $MgB_2$ powder was prepared with Mg, B, and C powders by in-situ process via compaction, sintering, and crushing. The powders prepared by two methods were loaded into Fe tube and then the assemblages were drawn by a conventional powder-in-tube technique. The MA treatment of C-added $MgB_2$ decreased the particles/grains size and resulted in C-doping into $MgB_2$ after sintering, improving the critical current density($J_c$) in high external magnetic field. For the C-doped $MgB_2$ wire by MA for 25 h, the $J_c$ was $4.1{\times}10^3A/cm^2$ at 5 K and 6.4 T, which was 5.9 times higher than that of pure and untreated $MgB_2$ wire. The CP also provided C-doping into $MgB_2$ and improved the $J_c$ in high magnetic field; the C-doped $MgB_2$ wire fabricated by CP exhibited a $J_c$ being 2.3 times higher than that of the ex-situ wire used commercial $MgB_2$ powder at 5 K and 6.0 T($2.7{\times}10^3A/cm^2\;vs.\;1.2{\times}10^3A/cm^2$).

  • 건설폐기물의 효율적인 재활용과 친환경적인 처리를 위해서는 발생단계에서부터 재활용을 도모할 수 있는 건축물 분별해체공법이 적용되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 국내 건축물 분별해체 제도 도입을 위하여 국내 현황을 분석하였고 국내 실정을 감안한 적용 대상 건축물 범위를 제안하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 국외 분별해체 관련 제도를 분석하였고, 국내 건축물의 용도별, 면적별 현황 조사를 하였으며 건축물 용도별 분별해체 작업성을 비교하였다. 또한 분별해체 도입에 따른 경제적인 효과를 파악하였고 관련업체를 대상으로 도입의 필요성과 대상 건축물 선정 기준에 대한 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과로부터, 국내 모든 건축물을 대상으로 분별해체를 적용하는 것은 현재의 해체기술력과 경제적인 여건 등을 고려할 때, 현실적으로 어려울 것으로 판단되고 비용을 기준으로 할 경우에는 난이도 및 현장조건 등 다양한 변수에 따라 비용이 다르게 책정될 수도 있기 때문에 연면적과 용도별로 구분하여 단계별로 도입하는 것을 제안하고자 한다.

  • 암석구성성분검층(중성자-감마스펙트로스코피검층)은 중성자선원의 비탄성산란과 중성자포획 작용으로부터 생성되는 감마선을 측정하여 지층의 원위치 광물조성을 추정할 수 있는 기술이다. 일반적으로 지층의 광물조성 평가는 코어에 대한 X선 회절법, X선 형광분석법 등의 실내 시험자료를 주로 이용하고 있으나 이는 조사 구간의 극히 일부분에 대한 결과이며 특히, 유체의 유동 경로 구간은 주로 파쇄대 및 사질층인데 이 구간들의 코어 회수율이 불량하여 조사 구간 전체에 대한 광물조성 평가는 한계가 있다. 따라서 시추공 전 구간에 대한 원위치 광물조성 추정 기술개발은 지중환경 평가에 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 이 기술은 전통, 비전통 저류층 평가를 중심으로 최근까지 장비 개발 및 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 분야이지만 몇 개 서비스회사의 독점기술로 자세한 정보 미공개, 다양한 지층 및 인공모형을 이용한 화학-광물학 데이터베이스 구축 문제 등으로 국내 연구에 직접적으로 적용하기에는 어려움이 있었다. 이 해설논문에서는 암석구성성분검층의 기본원리, 시스템 구성, 교정시설, 국외 기 개발된 검층시스템 분석 및 연구개발 동향 등을 통해 해당 기술을 소개하고, 국내 시스템 제작을 위한 기술 적용 방안을 검토하였다.

  • The current ruminant feeding models require parameterization of the digestion kinetics of carbohydrate fractions in feed ingredients to estimate the supply of nutrients from a ration. Using an automated gas production technique, statistically welldefined digestion rate of carbohydrate, including soluble carbohydrate, can be estimated in a relatively easy way. In this study, the gas production during in vitro fermentation was measured and recorded by an automated gas production system to investigate degradation kinetics of carbohydrate fractions of a wide range of ruminant feeds: corn silage, rice straw, corn, soybean hull, soybean meal, and cell mass from lysine production (CMLP). The gas production from un-fractionated, ethanol insoluble residue and neutral detergent insoluble residue of the feed samples were obtained. The gas profiles of carbohydrate fractions on the basis of the carbohydrate scheme of the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (A, B1, B2, B3 and C) were generated using a subtraction approach. After the gas profiles were plotted with time, a curve was fitted with a single-pool exponential equation with a discrete lag to obtain kinetic parameters that can be used as inputs for modern nutritional models. The fractional degradation rate constants (Kd) of corn silage were 11.6, 25.7, 14.8 and 0.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. The values were statistically well estimated, assessed by high t-value (>12.9). The Kd of carbohydrate fractions in rice straw were 4.8, 21.1, 5.7 and 0.5%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2 fractions, respectively. Although the Kd of B2 fraction was poorly defined with a t-value of 4.4, the Kd of the other fractions showed tvalues higher than 21.9. The un-fractioned corn showed the highest Kd (18.2%/h) among the feeds tested, and the Kd of A plus B1 fraction was 18.7%/h. Soybean hull had a Kd of 6.0, 29.0, 3.8 and 13.8%/h for un-fractioned, A, B1 and B2, respectively. The large Kd of fraction B2 indicated that NDF in soybean hull was easily degradable. The t-values were higher than 20 except for the B1 fraction (5.7). The estimated Kd of soybean meal was 9.6, 24.3, 5.0%/h for un-fractioned, A and B1 fractions, respectively. A small amount of gas (5.6 ml at 48 ho of incubation) was produced from fermentation of CMLP which contained little carbohydrate. In summary, the automated gas production system was satisfactory for the estimation of well defined (t-value >12) kinetic parameters and Kd of soluble carbohydrate fractions of various feedstuffs that supply mainly carbohydrate. The subtraction approach, however, should be applied with caution for some concentrates, especially those which contain a high level of crude protein since nitrogen-containing compounds can interfere with gas production.

  • The flavonoid, quercetin, is a low molecular weight substance found in apple, tomato and other fruit. Besides its antioxidative effect, quercetin, like other flavonoids, has a wide range of neuropharmacological actions including analgesia, and motility, sleep, anticonvulsant, sedative and anxiolytic effects. In the present study, we investigated its effect on mouse 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 ($5-HT_{3A}$) receptor channel activity, which is involved in pain transmission, analgesia, vomiting, and mood disorders. The $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor was expressed in Xenopus oocytes, and the current was measured with the two-electrode voltage clamp technique. In oocytes injected with $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor cRNA, quercetin inhibited the 5-HT-induced inward peak current ($I_{5-HT}$) with an $IC_{50}$ of $64.7{\pm}2.2{\mu}M$. Inhibition was competitive and voltage-independent. Point mutations of pre-transmembrane domain 1 (pre-TM1) such as R222T and R222A, but not R222D, R222E and R222K, abolished inhibition, indicating that quercetin interacts with the pre-TM1 of the $5-HT_{3A}$ receptor.

  • This paper demonstrates the effect of fluoride-based plasma treatment on the performance of $Al_2O_3/AlGaN/GaN$ metal-insulator-semiconductor heterostructure field effect transistors (MISHFETs) with a T-shaped gate length of $0.20{\mu}m$. For the fabrication of the MISHFET, an $Al_2O_3$ layer as a gate dielectric was deposited using atomic layer deposition, which greatly decreases the gate leakage current, followed by the deposition of the silicon nitride layer. The silicon nitride layer on the gate foot region was then selectively removed through a reactive ion etching technique using $CF_4$ plasma. The etching process was continued for a longer period of time even after the complete removal of the silicon nitride layer to expose the $Al_2O_3$ gate dielectric layer to the plasma environment. The thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ gate dielectric layer was slowly reduced during the plasma exposure. Through this plasma treatment, the device exhibited a threshold voltage shift of 3.1 V in the positive direction, an increase of 50 mS/mm in trans conductance, a degraded off-state performance and a larger gate leakage current compared with that of the reference device without a plasma treatment.

  • Mutations within the SCN5A gene, which encodes the α-subunit 5 (NaV1.5) of the voltage-gated Na+ channel, have been linked to three distinct cardiac arrhythmia disorders: long QT syndrome type 3, Brugada syndrome (BrS), and cardiac conduction disorder. In this study, we have identified novel missense mutations (p.A385T/R504T) within SCN5A in a patient exhibiting overlap arrhythmia phenotypes. This study aims to elucidate the functional consequences of SCN5A mutants (p.A385T/R504T) to understand the clinical phenotypes. Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to analyze the NaV1.5 current (INa) in HEK293 cells transfected with the wild-type and mutant SCN5A with or without SCN1B co-expression. The amplitude of INa was not altered in mutant SCN5A (p.A385T/R504T) alone. Furthermore, a rightward shift of the voltage-dependent inactivation and faster recovery from inactivation was observed, suggesting a gain-of-function state. Intriguingly, the co-expression of SCN1B with p.A385T/R504T revealed significant reduction of INa and slower recovery from inactivation, consistent with the loss-of-function in Na+ channels. The SCN1B dependent reduction of INa was also observed in a single mutation p.R504T, but p.A385T co-expressed with SCN1B showed no reduction. In contrast, the slower recovery from inactivation with SCN1B was observed in A385T while not in R504T. The expression of SCN1B is indispensable for the electrophysiological phenotype of BrS with the novel double mutations; p.A385T and p.R504T contributed to the slower recovery from inactivation and reduced current density of NaV1.5, respectively.

  • 본 연구는 강원도 평창지역의 천연 활엽수림을 대상으로 임분구조 조정에 의한 이단림 조성 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 이단림 시범지를 선정한 후 $30m{\times}30m$의 고정표본점을 3반복으로 설치하고 정밀 임분조사를 실시하였다. 임분조사 자료에 근거하여 이단림 시범지의 시업전 임분통계량과 임분구조를 추정하고, 이단작업의 특성에 맞는 시업방안에 따라 시업후의 임분통계량과 임분구조의 변화를 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 예측하였다. 시업전의 임분 현황을 분석한 결과 목표임분형으로 유도하기 위해서는 임분구조의 조정이 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. 시뮬레이션 기법을 통해 예측한 시업후의 임분 현황을 보면 시업후에도 목표임분형을 달성하기 위해서는 상당한 시간이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다. 시업후 상층목의 임목본수는 ha당 170본으로 이단림의 기준에 부합되는 것으로 평가되었다. 하지만 하층의 임목본수는 이단림의 기준과 상당한 차이를 보이고 있는데, 교목치수의 진계를 통해 어느 정도 보완할 수 있을 것으로 판단되지만 수하식재를 고려할 필요가 있다. 시업후의 임분 현황을 고려하면 이단림 상층목의 목표 임목축적은 ha당 $150m^3$가 적합한 것으로 평가되었으며, 이를 달성하려면 20년 정도가 소요되는 것으로 예측되었다. 이단림 조성을 위해서는 앞으로 5년 간격의 임분조사를 통해 시간 경과에 따른 임분구조의 변화를 파악하고, 필요할 경우 이단림 유도를 위한 추가적인 조치가 요구된다.

  • 최근 들어 전 세계적으로 무선전력전송이 많이 연구되고 있다. 무선 전력전송이란 전기기기가 전선이 없어도 무선으로 전력을 공급하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 ICT 기반의 무선전력전송 시스템을 설계, 제작하였다. 제안된 시스템은 기존 시스템보다 픽업코일에 접촉는 면적을 증대하여 같은 L값과 C값을 사용해도 효율이 높아질 수 있도록 설계하였다. 무선 전송의 송 수신부와 고효율의 코일부로 구성되어 있으며, 시스템의 전송 효율을 높이는 방법을 제안하였다. 특히 무선 송 수신부는 ICT 기술과 연동이 가능하도록 설계하여 실시간 원격 모니터링이 가능하도록 제작하였고, 대기전력을 절감하는 효과를 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 기업에서 무선전력전송 시스템에 사용된 IGBT소자의 최대 주파수 20[KHz]를 사용하여 이에 가장 적절한 L, C값을 찾기 위해 많은 필드실험을 통하여 가장 효율적인 L값 $23.9[{\mu}H]$, C값 $2.64[{\mu}F]$을 선정하여 시스템을 구성하였다. 또한 대기전력을 감소하기 위해 출력전류를 제어하는 알고리즘을 설계하여 적용하였다. 이 결과 기존의 장비보다 무선전력전송용량과 효율이 75[%]에서 80[%]로 전력전송 유효거리를 10[%] 증가하여 대기전력의 감소 및 유지보수 비용이 절감하였고, ICT 기술을 이용한 무선 송수신부 와 프로그램을 개발하여 사용자가 취득된 데이터로 시스템의 고장 검출을 쉽게 할 수 있게 하였다.

  • Background/Aims: Current society guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxis for 3 to 5 days after endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) of pancreatic cystic lesions (PCLs). The overall quality of the evidence supporting this recommendation is low. In this study, we aimed to assess cyst infection and adverse event rates after EUS-FNA of PCLs among patients treated with or without postprocedural prophylactic antibiotics. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who underwent EUS-FNA of PCLs between 2015 and 2019 at two large-volume academic medical centers with different practice patterns of postprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis. Data on patient demographics, cyst characteristics, fine-needle aspiration technique, periprocedural and postprocedural antibiotic prophylaxis, and adverse events were retrospectively extracted. Results: A total of 470 EUS-FNA procedures were performed by experienced endosonographers for the evaluation of PCLs in 448 patients, 58.7% of whom were women. The mean age was 66.3±12.8 years. The mean cyst size was 25.7±16.9 mm. Postprocedural antibiotics were administered in 274 cases (POSTAB+ group, 58.3%) but not in 196 cases (POSTAB- group, 41.7%). None of the patients in either group developed systemic or localized infection within the 30-day follow-up period. Procedure-related adverse events included mild abdominal pain (8 patients), intra-abdominal hematoma (1 patient), mild pancreatitis (1 patient), and perforation (1 patient). One additional case of pancreatitis was recorded; however, the patient also underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Conclusions: The incidence of infection after EUS-FNA of PCLs is negligible. Routine use of postprocedural antibiotics does not add a significant benefit.
