This study provides an investigating the electrolyte reaction characteristics during thermal runaway of a lithium-ion battery(LIB). Dimethyl carbonate(DMC) is known as the main substance that makes up the electrolyte. The mono-molecular decomposition characteristics of DMC were derived through numerical analysis. Cobalt oxide can release oxygen under high temperature conditions. Also, DMC is converted to CH₄, H₂, CO, and CO₂. Especially, it was found that the decomposition of the DMC begins at a temperature range of 340-350℃, which dramatically increases the internal pressure of the LIB. In the by-products gases, the molar ratio of CO and CO₂ changed according to the molecular structure of DMC and temperature conditions. The correlation of the [CO]/[CO₂] ratio according to the temperature during thermal runaway was derived, and the characteristics of the reaction temperature could be estimated using the molar ratio as an indicator. In addition, the oxidation and decomposition characteristics of DMC according to the residence time for each temperature were estimated. When DMC is exposed to low temperature for a long time, both oxidation and decomposition may occur. There is possibility of not only increasing the internal pressure of the LIB, but also promoting thermal runaway. In this study, internal environment of LIB was identified and the reaction characteristics between the active materials of the cathode and electrolyte were investigated.

Organic light-emitting diode(OLED) is very thin organic films which are hundreds of nanometers. Unlike bottom-emission OLED(BEOLED), top-emission OLED(TEOLED) emits light out the front, opaque moisture absorbents or metal foils can't be used to prevent moisture and oxygen. And it is difficult to have flexible characteristics with glass encapsulation, so thin film encapsulation which can compensate for those two disadvantages is mainly used. In this study, Al₂O₃ thin films by atomic layer deposition(ALD) were examined by changing the argon gas purge flow rate and we applied this Al₂O₃ thin films to the encapsulation of TEOLED. Ag / ITO / N,N'-Di-[(1-naphthyl)-N,N'-diphenyl]-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine / tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum/ LiF / Mg:Ag (1:9) were used to fabricate OLED device. The characteristics such as brightness, current density, and power efficiency are compared. And it was confirmed that with a thickness of 40 nm Al₂O₃ thin film encapsulation process did not affect OLED properties. And it was enough to maintain a proper OLED operation for about 9 hours.

Purpose: This study evaluated maxillary sinus volume changes in military jet aircraft pilot candidates before and after the training program, in comparison with a control group, considering the effects of pressurization, altitude, and total flight hours, through multislice computed tomography. Materials and Methods: Fifteen fighter pilots were evaluated before initiating the training program and after the final approval. The control group consisted of 41 young adults who had not flown during their military career. The volumes of each maxillary sinus were measured individually before and at the end of the training program. Results: When comparing the initial and final volumes in the pilots, a statistically significant increase was observed both in the left and right maxillary sinuses. When evaluating the average total volume of the maxillary sinuses(i.e., the average volume of the right and left maxillary sinuses together), a significant increase in the volume of the maxillary sinuses was observed in the pilot group when compared to the control group. Conclusion: The maxillary sinus volumes in aircraft pilot candidates increased after the 8-month training program. This may be explained by changes in the gravitational force, the expansion of gas, and positive pressure from oxygen masks. This unprecedented investigation among pilots might lead to other investigations considering paranasal sinus alterations in this singular population.

A large amount of carbon monoxide (CO) is generated in circulating fluidized bed combustion, the process whereby a hot cyclone separates unburned fuel. However, calcium sulfate (CaSO₄), when combined with a high CO content, can cause fouling on the surface of the steam tube installed inside the integrated recycle heat exchangers (INTREX). In this study, CaSO₄ decomposition was investigated using 0.2-3.2 vol.% CO and 1-3 vol.% oxygen (O₂) at 850℃ for 20 min in a lab-scale fluidized bed reactor. The results show that CaSO₄ decomposes into CaS and CaO when CO gas is supplied, and SO₂ emissions increase from 135 ppm to 1021 ppm with increasing CO concentration. However, the O₂ supply delayed SO₂ emissions because the reaction between CO and O₂ is faster than that of CaSO₄; nevertheless, when supplied with CaCO₃, the intermediate product, SO₂ was significantly released, regardless of the CO and O₂ supply. In addition, agglomerated solids and yellow sulfur power were observed after solid recovery, and the reactor distributor was corroded. Consequently, a sufficient O₂ supply is important and can prevent fouling formation on the INTREX surface by suppressing CaSO₄ degradation.

The theoretical capacity of silicon-based anode materials is more than 10 times higher than the capacity of graphite, so silicon can be used as an alternative to graphite anode materials. However, silicon has a much higher contraction and expansion rate due to lithiation of the anode material during the charge and discharge processes, compared to graphite anode materials, resulting in the pulverization of silicon particles during repeated charge and discharge. To compensate for the above issues, there is a growing interest in SiO_x materials with a silica or carbon coating to minimize the expansion of the silicon. In this study, spherical silica (SiO₂) was synthesized using TEOS as a starting material for the fabrication of such SiO_x through heating in a reduction atmosphere. SiO_x powder was produced by adding PVA as a carbon source and inducing the reduction of silica by the carbothermal reduction method. The ratio of TEOS to distilled water, the stirring time, and the amount of PVA added were adjusted to induce size and morphology, resulting in uniform nanosized spherical silica particles. For the reduction of the spherical monodisperse silica particles, a nitrogen gas atmosphere mixed with 5 % hydrogen was applied, and oxygen atoms in the silica were selectively removed by the carbothermal reduction method. The produced SiO_x powder was characterized by FE-SEM to examine the morphology and size changes of the particles, and XPS and FT-IR were used to examine the x value (O/Si ratio) of the synthesized SiO_x.

Objective: Physical activity can promote physical and mental well-being. University students are more sedentary recently due to the increased use of computers and other technology. The aim of this study was to investigate differences between immersive 360-degree virtual cycling (IVC) and virtual cycling with head-mounted display (VCHMD) on aerobic capacity and usability in young adults. Design: A crossover study. Methods: Twenty-five university students (13 male, 12 female) participated in this study and completed 2 separate 30 min cycling sessions, such as IVC and VCHMD. In the IVC, participants rode on a stationary cycle while watching curved TV where recorded video was played. To enhance the sense of realism, auditory stimulation was given to the headset, and the gyroscope sensor was used to track the screen as the head moved. In the VCHMD, participants rode on the stationary cycle with head-mounted display, and other conditions were the same as IVC. Participants were assessed the aerobic capacity which included gas analyzer and portable near-infrared spectroscopy, and usability which included simulator sickness questionnaire and system usability scale. Results: Aerobic capacity was significantly difference in the IVC compared with the VCHMD except for the total hemoglobin of right and left rectus femoris and muslce oxygen saturation of left rectus femoris (p<0.05). Cybersickness was less in the IVC than VCHMD and usability was high in the IVC than VCHMD (p<0.05). Conclusions: The findings suggested that IVC might be beneficial exericse to improve aerobic capacity and has lower cybersickness and higher usability than VCHMD.

팔당호 경안천 하류 정체수역에서 퇴적물 인 용출 저감을 위한 capping 소재를 개발하고자 실험실 규모의 batch test를 수행하였다. 조사지역 퇴적물 평균 입도는 7.7 ${\phi}$로 매우 세립하고, 유기탄소 함량은 2.4%로 매우 높게 나타났다. 최적의 capping 소재 선정을 위한 인 용출 실험을 위해 150 L 반응기 5개에 모래층, powder-gypsum($CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$), granule-gypsum, 복합층(gypsum+sand)로 capping을 한 경우와 control을 45일간 비교 평가하였다. 모래로 capping할 경우, 퇴적물로부터 용출되는 인을 약 50% 차단 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 모래층 1 cm로는 $CH_4$ gas 발생으로 인한 퇴적물의 재부유와 유기물 분해에 의한 수층 용존산소 감소(3 mg/L 이하)를 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 모래로 capping을 할 경우에는 모래층이 더 높아져야 할 것으로 판단된다. powder-Gypsum과 granule-Gypsum은 80% 이상의 인 용출 저감 효과를 보였으나 수층 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 농도가 증가되어 상수원보호구역에 적용하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 ${SO_4}^{2-}$의 용해도를 감소시키기 위해 Fe-Gypsum, $SiO_2$-gypsum 소재를 개발하였다. powder-Gypsum은 물과 결합시 경화되어 퇴적물 층위에 공극이 전혀 없는 차단막을 만들기 때문에 gypsum 층에 crack이 생길 경우, $CH_4$ gas 발생으로 인한 인 용출이 한꺼번에 일어날 수 있다. 복합층(granule-Gypsum+sand(1 cm))으로 capping을 할 경우, 인 용출 차단 효과가 높을 뿐만 아니라, ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 농도 역시 powder-Gypsum, granule-Gypsum 보다 수층으로 용출이 적어 상수원보호구역에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. Gypsum으로 capping을 할 경우, 빠른 초기속성작용(early diagenesis)과 ${SO_4}^{2-}$ 농도가 퇴적물에 충분히 공급되어 SRB(sulfate reducing bacteria)의 활성이 높아져 methanogensis의 진행을 저하시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.
