  • ZTO/n-Si thin film is produced to investigate tunneling phenomena by interface characteristics by the depletion layer. For diversity of the depletion layer, the thin film of ZTO is heat treated after deposition, and the gpolarization is found to change depending on the heat treatment temperature and capacitance. The higher the heat treatment temperature is, the higher the capacitance is, because more charges are formed, the highest at $150^{\circ}C$. The capacitance decreases at $200^{\circ}C$ ZTO heat treated at $150^{\circ}C$ shows tunneling phenomena, with low non-resistance and reduced charge concentration. When the carrier concentration is low and the resistance is low, the depletion layer has an increased potential barrier, which results in a tunneling phenomenon, which results in an increase in current. However, the ZTO thin film with high charge or high resistance shows a Schottky junction feature. The reason for the great capacitance increase is the increased current due to tunneling in the depletion layer.

  • Physical property changes of printed circuit board (PCB) according to heat treatment conditions were investigated. The heat treatment was carried out in air and nitrogen atmosphere at temperature range from $200^{\circ}C$ to $325^{\circ}C$. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the PCB was pyrolyzed in two steps. The thickness of PCB expanded by 11~28% at about $300^{\circ}C$ in both air and nitrogen atmosphere as layer disintegration occurred. Mechanical strength of PCB decreased from 338.4 MPa to 20.3~40.2 MPa due to the delamination caused by the heat treatment. The heated printed circuit boards were crushed and sieved for analysis of density distribution and liberation degree of copper according to particle size. As a result of the density distribution measurement, non metallic particles and copper particles were concentrated into different size range, respectively. The liberation degree of copper was improved from 9.3% to 100% at size range of $1,400{\sim}2,000{\mu}m$ by heat treatment.

  • ALDC8 (Al-Si-Cu) alloy has been often corroded with pattern of intergranular corrosion in corrosive environments. Thus, in order to improve its corrosion resistance, the effect of annealing heat treatment to corrosion resistance and hardness was investigated with parameters of heating temperatures such as $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ for 1hr. The hardness was varied with annealing temperature and slightly decreased with annealing heat treatment. However, the relation between annealing temperature and hardness agreed not well each other. Corrosion potential was shifted to noble direction and corrosion current density was also decreased with increasing annealing temperature. Moreover, both AC impedance at 10 mHz and polarization resistance on the cyclic voltammogram curve were also increased with increasing annealing temperature. Furthermore, intergranular corrosion was somewhat observed in non heat treatment as well as annealing temperatures at $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$, while, intergranular corrosion was not nearly observed at annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, $500^{\circ}C$. Consequently, it is considered that the annealing heat treatment of ALDC8 alloy may be an available method not only to inhibit its intergranular corrosion but also to improve its corrosion resistance.

  • In an effort to evaluate Salmonella food safety using combinations of preservation techniques, its viabilities when exposed to HCl, acetic acid, and the oxidative agents (hydrogen peroxide and butyl hydrogen peroxide), were analyzed using sub-lethal heat-shocked Salmonella Typhimurium at $56^{\circ}C$. 2D gel electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF MS analyses were also conducted to determine the expression and repression of proteins in heat-shocked cells. Heat-shocked S. Typhimurium evidenced a reduction of viable counts by 1-2 log CFU/mL. However, viality of non heat-shocked S. Typhimurium decreased markedly by 5-6 log CFU/mL at a pH 4 in response to acid and oxidative stresses. Sub-lethal heat treatment greatly increased the resistance of S. Typhimurium against acid and oxidant agents. As for 2D gel electrophoresis and protein identification via MALDI-TOF MS, 17 major proteins in non heat-shocked S. Typhimurium were detected, and only 13 proteins among these proteins were detected in heat-shocked S. Typhimurium. The heat shock proteins such as DnaK and small heat shock proteins were included, and may be associated with the resistance of S. typhimurium against exposure to acids and oxidants. Therefore, even though the promising hurdle technology using the combined mild treatments including heat was applied to S. Typhimurium, the proper heat treatment to reduce its crossprotection activity toward the following preservative agents might be considered.

  • PAN-based carbon fiber roving and fabric were heat treated at the temperature of $2170^{\circ}C$. Using non-heat treated and heat treated fabric, greenbodies of CFRP and GFRP were manufactured in the Autoclave. After the analysis of heat treated and non-heat treated carbon fiber roving and two types of greenbodies, the variations of physical and mechanical properties of carbon fibers and greenbodies with heat treatment were studied. Observing the cross-section of carbon fiber with SEM, we knew the diameter of carbon fiber was decreased from 6.8gm to 6.4p1. The results of TGA showed that the oxidation resistence was enhanced after heat treatment. The tensile strength of carbon fiber was decreased from (3.11$\pm 0.32)\times 10^3$ MPa to (1.87$\pm 0.26)\times 10^3$MPa, but tensile modulus was increased from (1.94$\pm 0.06)\times 10^5$ MPa to (2.02$\pm 0.11)\times 10^5$MPa after heat treatment. The interlaminar shear strengths of CFRP and GFRP were 148.8$\pm$1.6Mpa and 82.2$\pm$1.1Mpa, respectively. Torch test showed that CFRP was abraded smoothly but GFRP was delaminated.

  • Objective : To observe the efficacy and safety of CheungYeolYiSeup-tang and Hwangbaek external dressings on dampness-heat pattern atopic dermatitis(AD) in a non-comparative study. Methods : 10 patients with AD were included for 4 weeks of treatment. Efficacy and safety assessment included the scoring atopic dermatitis index(SCORAD), typical signs and symptoms of AD, results of some laboratory tests related to toxicity, and the incidence of adverse events. Results : Improvements in efficacy parameters were observed and produced no significant changes in laboratory tests related to toxicity in these patients. Their SCORAD results significantly decreased after 4weeks(P value<.01, according to the Wilcoxon sum of ranks test). Similarly, significant reductions from baseline in subjective pruritus scores and (P value<.05 by the Wilcoxon sum of ranks test) and the mean average of individual signs and symptoms of AD were reported after 4 weeks(P value<.05, P<0.01 by the Wilcoxon sum of ranks test). There were no significant changes in eosinophil, neutrophil, lymphocyte, immunoglobulin E and ESR in blood serum by paired ttest. Conclusion :CheungYeolYiSeup-tang administration and Hwangbaek external dressings are an effective and safe treatment for the management of dampness-heat pattern atopic dermatitis.

  • Basal and heat shock-induced mRNA expression patterns of major heat shock protein (HSP) genes, including those encoding heat shock protein (HSP) 90, HSP70, HSP70-12A, heat shock inducible protein 70 (HSIP70), heat shock binding protein 1 (HSPBP1), HSP60, and HSP40 were examined in the gill and hepatopancreas of 1-year-old diploid and triploid abalone Haliotis discus hannai juveniles. Under non-stimulated conditions at 19℃, triploid abalones displayed, in general, higher mRNA levels of various HSPs (HSP70, HSIP70, HSPBP1, HSP70-12A, and HSP60 in the gill and HSIP70, HSPBP1, and HSP60 in the hepatopancreas) than did communally cultured diploids. Conversely, only the hepatopancreatic expression of HSP70-12A was higher in diploids than in triploids. However, the fold changes in gene expression in response to an acute thermal challenge (elevation from 19 to 30℃) were generally greater in diploids than in triploids, such that the difference in basal expression was diminished, weakened, or even reversed after heat shock treatment. However, unlike other HSP genes, the basal expression of HSP60 (higher in 3N) was more pronounced after heat shock treatment. Collectively, the results of this study suggest that triploid abalones have different capacities for not only basal expression but also the heat-induced expression of HSPs in an HSP member-dependent manner.

  • Effect of heat treatment of carbon nanofibers (CNF) on electrical properties and crystallization behavior of polypropylene was reported. Two types of CNFs (untreated and heat treated at 2300 $^{\circ}C$) were incorporated into polypropylene (PP) using intensive mixing. A significant drop in volume resistivity was observed with composites containing untreated 5 wt % and heat treated 3 wt % CNF. In non-isothermal crystallization studies, both untreated and heat treated CNFs acted as nucleating agents. Composites with heat treated CNFs showed a higher crystallization temperature than composites with untreated CNFs did. TEM results of CNF revealed that an irregular structure of CNFs can be converted into the continuous graphitic structure after heat treatment. Furthermore, STM showed that the higher carbonization temperature leads to the higher graphite degree which presents the larger carbon network size, suggesting that a more graphitic structure of CNFs led to a higher crystallization temperature of PP.
