Invertebrate animals, which lack adaptive immune systems, have developed other systems of biological host defense, so called innate immunity, that respond to common antigens on the cell surfaces of potential pathogens. During the past two decades, the molecular structures and functions of various defense components that participated in innate immune systems have been established in Arthropoda, such as, insects, the horseshoe crab, freshwater crayfish, and the protochordata ascidian. These defense molecules include phenoloxidases, clotting factors, complement factors, lectins, protease inhibitors, antimicrobial peptides, Toll receptors, and other humoral factors found mainly in hemolymph plasma and hemocytes. These components, which together compose the innate immune system, defend invertebrate from invading bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. This review describes the present status of our knowledge concerning such defensive molecules in invertebrates.

Charging of spacecraft occurs in plasma and radiation environment. Especially, we focused on an accident caused by internal charging in a glass material that was used as the cover plate of solar panel array, and tried to measure the charge distribution in glass materials under electron beam irradiation by using a PEA (Pulsed Electro-Acoustic method) system. In the case of a quartz glass (pure $SiO_2$), no charge accumulation was observed either during or after the electron beam irradiation. On the contrary, positive charge accumulation was observed in glass samples containing metal-oxide components. It is found that the polarity of the observed charges depends on the contents of the impurities. To identify which impurity dominates the polarity of the accumulated charge, we measured charge distributions in several glass materials containing various metal-oxide components and calculated the trap energy depths from the charge decay characteristics of all glass samples.

Carbon has been widely used for the material of plasma facing components in fusion experiment devices like a tokamak, because carbon has good thermal and mechanical properties. However carbon gas a relatively high ougassing rate. Therefore the amount and the surface area of the carbon material used in the vessel will determine the background pressure of the vacuum vessel. In this experiment influences of carbon on the vacuum performance was investigated by measuring chamber pressure, ougassing rater and gas spectrum of carbon fiber composite (CFC) samples in various situations, pumping out, chamber baking, carbon heating (250~$500^{\circ}C$), exposure to atmosphere for maintenance of in-vessel components, etc., occurring routinely during tokamak operations.

Experimental works were performed to implement the hetero-epitaxial growth of diamond films on the (100)- and (111)-oriented Si substrates. The deposition process used to prepare diamond films consisted of a bias-enhanced nucleation(BEN) step, accompanied with a growth step using a microwave plasma CVD system. The highly oriented diamond films were deposited under the growth condition of relatively low methane concentrations and high temperatures. Material properties and surface morphologies of deposited diamond films were improved by the addition of carburization step into the deposition process.

Characteristics of a fusion-driven transmutation reactor was investigated. A compact reactor concept is desirable from an economic viewpoint. For the optimal design of a reactor, a radial build of reactor components has to be determined by considering the plasma physics and engineering constraints which inter-relate various reactor components. In a transmutation reactor, design of blanket and shield play a key role in determining the size of a reactor; the blanket should produce enough tritium for tritium self-sufficiency, the transmutation rate of waste has to be maximized, and the shield should provide sufficient protection for the superconducting toroidal field (TF) coil. To determine the radial build of the blanket and the shield, not only a radiation transport analysis but also a burnup calculation were coupled with the system analysis and it allowed the self-consistent determination of the design parameters of a transmutation reactor.

본 논문은 유연전극의 플라즈마 반응을 위한 고효율 전원장치에 대한 연구이다. 유연전극은 저온 플라즈마 방전으로, 수 kV의 AC형태의 고전압 및 소전력 구동 사양이 요구된다. 상용전원을 사용하는 유연전극용 고전압 전원장치는 AC-DC, DC-AC로 변환이 가능한 2단 구조를 갖는다. 1단은 낮은 전력에서 높은 효율을 달성 할 수 있는 CrM(Critical Conduction Mode) PFC와 전부하 영역 소프트 스위칭을 통해 고효율 달성이 용이한 LLC 공진 컨버터를 사용하였다. 유연전극은 사양에 따라 커패시턴스가 달라진다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 유연전극 사양에 따른 공진 주파수의 최적화를 통해서 유연전극의 플라즈마 반응 및 특성 시험을 위해 고효율 전원장치를 구성하였다. 실험을 통해서 유연전극용 고효율 전원장치를 검증하였다.

Micro-arc discharge oxidation (MDO) is a cost-effective plasma electrolytic process which can be used to improve the wear and corrosion resistance of Al-alloy parts by forming a alumina coating on the component surface. However, the MDO coated Al-alloy components often exhibit relatively high friction coefficients and low wear resistance fitted with many counterface materials, additionally, the pitting corrosion for the MDO coated AI-alloy components, especially for a thinner alumina coating, often occurs in atmosphere circumstance due to the porous alumina coats. Therefore, a duplex treatment, combining a MDO coated ahumina thin layer with a TiN coating, prepared by magnetron sputtering (MS), has been investigated. The Vicker's microhardness, pin-on-disc, electrochemical measurement, salt spray, XRD and SEM tests were used to characterize and analyze the treated samples. The work demonstrates that the MDO/MS coated samples have a combination of a very low friction coefficient and good wear resistance as well as corrosion since the micro-holes on alumina coating are partly or fully covered by TiN material.

본 논문은 유연전극의 플라즈마 발생용 고전압 전원장치에 대한 연구이다. 유연전극의 플라즈마 발생용 고전압 전원장치는 가변 전압을 위해 투 스위치 포워드 컨버터와 주파수 변환을 위한 LLC 공진 컨버터로 구성된다. 유연전극의 경우 장비의 구조에 대한 자유도가 높기 때문에, 살균 및 멸균 효율이 높다. 다만, 유연전극은 길이와 재질에 따라 인덕턴스와 커패시턴스가 달라진다. 따라서, 유연전극의 정확한 모델링을 통해 공진 주파수의 최적화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유연전극 길이와 재질에 따른 정확한 모델링을 통해 LLC 공진 주파수를 최적화하고, 실험을 통해 제안하는 유연전극의 플라즈마 발생용 고전압 전원장치를 검증하였다.
