RC 구조물이 해양 환경에 노출되거나 염화물 환경에 놓이면 콘크리트 속의 매립철근의 부식이 발생한다. 철근의 부식은 구조물의 내구성을 감소시키게 되며, 이러한 부식은 염화물의 침투로 인해 발생하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 염화물 침투실험을 통하여 콘크리트 물성과 시험법이 염화물 확산에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 실험 결과에 따르면, W/C비와 시험법 모두 콘크리트의 확산계수에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. W/C비가 증가함에 따라 확산계수도 증가하였으나, 비례하여 증가하지는 않았다. 또한, 시험법에 따른 확산계수의 경우, W/C비의 영향은 잘 반영하나 시험법에 따라 확산계수의 차이가 보인다. 본 연구에서는 W/C비에 따른 확산계수 추정식을 제안하였다.

반도체 소자의 실리콘 게이트 전극 식각공정은 산화막에 대한 높은 식각 선택비와 정확한 식각형상 제어 등의 공정요구 조건을 충족시키기 위해 고밀도 플라즈마 식각공정을 사용하나 식각 후 notching이 발생되는 문제점을 보이고 있다. 특이하게 도핑 되지 않은 비정질 실리콘을 게이트 전극 물질로 사용한 경우 발생된 notching의 위치가 가장 외곽에 위치한 게이트 전극선의 바깥쪽에서 주로 발생되는 것이 관찰 되었다. 본 연구에서는 $Cl_2/HBr/O_2$의 식각기체 구성으로 notching 발생이 식각변수들에 따라 받는 경향성을 파악하고, 식각장치 내에서 실리콘 기판에 도달하는 식각 이온들의 진행경로를 분석하였다. 주 원인은 플라즈마 내의 식각 활성종 이온들이 대전효과에 의하여 궤적의 왜곡이 일어나 notching 현상이 발생되는 것으로 파악되었다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 도핑 되지 않은 비정질 실리콘 게이트 식각에서 발생하는 notching의 형성기구를 정성적으로 설명하였다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of cigarette papers, flax and wood, on the delivery of mainstream smoke. The main components of cigarette papers were cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin. Lignin contents, known as precursor of smoke's phenolic compounds, of the flax and wood cigarette papers were 5.8% and 10.6%, respectively. The pyrolysis products of cigarette papers were similar by the profile of total ion chromatogram. But, the area % of some components, such as 1,3-cyclopentanedione, 3,5- dimethyl cyclopentane-1,2-dione, 2-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-cyclopentenone, dihydro-2(3H)-furanone, 3-methyl-2(5H)-fruanone, and 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde delivered through pyrolysis of the flax cigarette paper were higher than that of wood cigarette paper. Otherwise, the area % of some components, such as 2-methyl-cyclopentene-l-one), 2,3-butanedione, 2-cyclopentene-l-one, and 5-hydroxy-2-methyl-furaldehyde, 2-furaldehyde delivered through pyrolvsis of the wood cigarette paper were higher than that of flax cigarette paper. To identify the difference between two cigarette papers, we used the cigarette column filled with the cut cigarette paper instead of the cut tobacco leaf. The amounts of semi-volatile fraction delivered from flax cigarette paper was more than that of wood cigarette paper. But, by using the cut tobacco, there was no big difference of delivery amount between flax and wood cigarette papers. Also, aroma of TPM by collecting from brening cut tobacco wrapped in flax and wood papers showed a different pattern by the electonic nose system. Although the difference between two cigarette papers by using the cut tobacco was smaller than that of cut cigarette paper, this result indicated that the fax and wood had the different effects on the delivery of smoke components as shown in the sensory test results.

An investigation was conducted on the enhancement of production and purification of an oxidant and SDS-stable alkaline protease (BHAP) secreted by an alkalophilic Bacillus horikoshii, which was screened from the body fluid of a unique Korean polychaeta (Periserrula leucophryna) living in the tidal mud flats of Kwangwha Island in the Korean West Sea. A prominent effect on BHAP production was obtained by adding 2% maltose, 1% sodium citrate, 0.8% NaCl, and 0.6% sodium carbonate to the culturing medium. The optimal medium for BHAP production contained (g/l) SBM, 15; casein, 10; $K_2HPO_4$, 2; $KH_2PO_4$, 2; maltose, 20; sodium citrate, 10; $MgSO_4$, 0.06; NaCl, 8; and $Na_2CO_3$, 6. A protease yield of approximately 56,000 U/ml was achieved using the optimized medium, which is an increase of approximately 5.5-fold compared with the previous optimization (10,050 U/ml). The BHAP was homogenously purified 34-fold with an overall recovery of 34% and a specific activity of 223,090 U/mg protein using adsorption with Diaion HPA75, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) on Phenyl-Sepharose, and ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE- and CM-Sepharose column. The purified BHAP was determined a homogeneous by SDS-PAGE, with an apparent molecular mass of 28 kDa, and it showed extreme stability towards organic solvents, SDS, and oxidizing agents. The $K_m$ and $k_{cat}$ values were 78.7 ${\mu}M$ and $217.4s^{-1}$ for N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively. The inhibition profile exhibited by PMSF suggested that the protease from B. horikoshii belongs to the family of serine proteases. The BHAP, which showed high stability against SDS and $H_2O_2$, has significance for industrial application, such as additives in detergent and feed industries.

The effects of membrane surface charge originated from lipid head groups on ion channels were tested by analyzing the activity of single large conductance $Ca^{2+}-activated\;K^+$ (maxi K) channel from rat skeletal muscle. The conductances and open-state probability ($P_o$) of single maxi K channels were compared in three types of planar lipid bilayers formed from a neutral phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or two negatively-charged phospholipids, phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylinositol (PI). Under symmetrical KCl concentrations $(3{\sim}1,000\;mM)$, single channel conductances of maxi K channels in charged membranes were $1.1{\sim}1.7$ times larger than those in PE membranes, and the differences were more pronounced at the lower ionic strength. The average slope conductances at 100 mM KCl were $251{\pm}9.9$, $360{\pm}8.7$ and $356{\pm}12.4$ $(mean{\pm}SEM)$ pS in PE, PS and PI membranes respectively. The potentials at which $P_o$ was 1/2, appeared to have shifted left by 40 mV along voltage axis in the membranes formed with PS or PI. Such shift was consistently seen at pCa 5, 4.5, 4 and 3.5. Estimation of the effect of surface charge from these data indicated that maxi K channels sensed the surface potentials at a distance of $8{\sim}9\;{\AA}$ from the membrane surface. In addition, similar insulation distance ($7{\sim}9\;{\AA}$) of channel mouth from the bilayer surface charge was predicted by a 3-barrier-2-site model of energy profile for the permeation of $K^+$ ions. In conclusion, despite the differences in structure and fluidity of phospholipids in bilayers, the activities of maxi K channels in two charged membranes composed of PS or PI were strikingly similar and larger than those in bilayers of PE. These results suggest that the enhancement of conductance and $P_o$ of maxi channels is mostly due to negative charges in the phospholipid head groups.

In this study, the etching of Au thin films have been performed in an inductively coupled CF4/Cl2/Ar plasma. The etch properties were measured as the CF4 adds from 0 % to 30 % to the Cl2/(Cl2 + Ar) gas mixing ratio of 0.2. Other parameters were fixed at a rf power of 700 W, a dc bias voltage of 150 V, a chamber pressure of 15 mTorr, and a substrate temperature of $30^{\circ}C$. The highest etch rate of the Au thin film was 370 nm/min at a 10 % additive CF4 into Cl2/(Cl2 + Ar) gas mixing ratio of 0.2. The surface reaction of the etched Au thin films was investigated using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. From x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis, the intensities of Au peaks are changed. There is a chemical reaction between Cl and Au. Au-Cl is hard to remove on the surface because of its high melting point and the etching products can be sputtered by Ar ion bombardment. We obtained the cleaned and steep profile.

Si의 기판상태, 불순물의 종류와 양, 어닐링온도 등을 달리하여 Ti-silicides를 형성시켰을 때 면 저항과 두께측정, 불순물들의 분포와 미세구조 관찰을 통하여 Ti-silicides 형성반응을 조사하였다. 기판상태, 불순물의 농도, 어닐링온도가 Ti-silicides 형성에 직접적으로 영향을 미쳤다. Amorphous Si 기판상에서 Ti-silicides가 형성되었을 때 $TiSi_2/Si$ 계면편평도가 보다 향상되었다. Poly-Si내 불순물의 농도가 $1{\times}10^{16}ions/cm^2$ 이상일 때 $TiSi_2$ 형성이 크게 억제되었고 면저항이 증가하였다. 불순물의 out-diffusion에 영향을 미치는 인자 중의 하나는 이온주입에너지에 의해 결정되는 초기 불순물의 분포였다. 이온주입 공정보다 $POCI_3$ 공정에서 불순물의 out-diffusion이 적게 나타났다.

The capacitive coupled plasma (CCP) has been extensively used in the semiconductor industry because it has not only good uniformity, but also low electron temperature. But CCP source has some problems, such as difficulty in varying the ion bombardment energy separately, low plasma density, and high processing pressure, etc. In this reason, dual frequency CCP has been investigated with a separate substrate biasing to control the plasma parameters and to obtain high etch rate with high etch selectivity. Especially, in this study, we studied on the etching of $SiO_2$ by using the pulse-time modulation in the dual-frequency CCP source composed of 60 MHz/ 2 MHz rf power. By using the combination of high /low rf powers, the differences in the gas dissociation, plasma density, and etch characteristics were investigated. Also, as the size of the semiconductor device is decreased to nano-scale, the etching of contact hole which has nano-scale higher aspect ratio is required. For the nano-scale contact hole etching by using continuous plasma, several etch problems such as bowing, sidewall taper, twist, mask faceting, erosion, distortions etc. occurs. To resolve these problems, etching in low process pressure, more sidewall passivation by using fluorocarbon-based plasma with high carbon ratio, low temperature processing, charge effect breaking, power modulation are needed. Therefore, in this study, to resolve these problems, we used the pulse-time modulated dual-frequency CCP system. Pulse plasma is generated by periodical turning the RF power On and Off state. We measured the etch rate, etch selectivity and etch profile by using a step profilometer and SEM. Also the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic analysis on the surfaces etched by different duty ratio conditions correlate with the results above.

The lactic acid bacterium Streptococcus thermophilus is widely used as a starter culture for the production of dairy products. Whole-genome sequencing is expected to utilize the genetic basis behind the metabolic functioning of lactic acid bacterium (LAB), for development of their use in biotechnological and probiotic applications. We sequenced the whole genome of Streptococcus thermophilus MTCC 5461, the strain isolated from a curd source, by 454 GS-FLX titanium and Ion Torrent PGM. We performed comparative genome analysis using the local BLAST and RDP for 16S rDNA comparison and by the RAST server for functional comparison against the published genome sequence of Streptococcus thermophilus CNRZ 1066. The whole genome size of S. thermophilus MTCC 5461 is of 1.73Mb size with a GC content of 39.3%. Streptococcal virulence-related genes are either inactivated or absent in the strain. The genome possesses coding sequences for features important for a probiotic organism such as adhesion, acid tolerance, bacteriocin production, and lactose utilization, which was found to be conserved among the strains MTCC 5461 and CNRZ 1066. Biochemical analysis revealed the utilization of 17 sugars by the bacterium, where the presence of genes encoding enzymes involved in metabolism for 16 of these 17 sugars were confirmed in the genome. This study supports the facts that the strain MTCC 5461 is nonpathogenic and harbors essential features that can be exploited for its probiotic potential.
