This paper suggests the optimum processing conditions for obtaining good quality $P^{+}$-n shallow junctions formed by pre-amorphization and furnace annealing(FA) to reflow BPSG(bore phosphosilicate glass). $BF_2$ions, the p-type dopant, were implanted with the energy of 20keV and the dose of 2$\times$10$^{15}$ cm$^{-2}$ into the substrates pre-amorphized by As or Ge ions with 45keV, 3$\times$$10^{14}$ $cm^{-2}$. High temperature annealings were performed with a furnace and a rapid thermal annealer. The temperature range of RTA was 950~$1050^{\circ}C$, and the furnace annealing was employed for BPSG reflow with the temperature of $850^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. To characterize the formed junctions, junction depth, sheet resistance and diode leakage current were measured. Considering the preamorphization species, Ge ion exhibited better results than As ion. Samples preamorphized with Ge ion and annealed with $1000^{\circ}C$ RTA showed the most excellent characteristics. When FA was included, Ge preamorphization with $1050^{\circ}C$ RTA plus FA showed the lowest product of sheet resistance and junction depth and exhibited the lowest leakage currents.

In this study, an acrylic acid (AAc) was grafted on a polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabric using electron beam irradiation. Electron beam grafting was carried out under various conditions to produce AAc grafted PP (PP-g-AAc) nonwoven fabric having a grafting yield of about 50% at radiation dose of 100 kGy and a monomer concentration of 60%. The physical and chemical properties of PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric were evaluated by SEM, ATR-FTIR, thermal analysis and tensile strength. The morphology of PP and PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric confirmed by SEM showed no significant change, and it was judged that AAc was introduced into PP nonwoven fabric from ATR-FTIR. PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric showed an increase in tensile strength and a decrease in tensile strain compared to PP nonwoven fabric. However, since change of value is not significant, it is considered that there is no significant influence on the physical characterization. Adsorption experiments of PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric on various ions showed selective adsorption behavior for lead ion. In conclusion, the electron beam radiation-induced PP-g-AAc nonwoven fabric is expected to be applied as an effective adsorbent for the adsorption of lead ions.

The $SiO_2$ films were prepared by ECR(electron cyclotron resonance) plasma diffusion method, Deal-Grove model and Wolters-Zegers-van Duynhoven model were used to estimate the oxidation rate which was correlated with surface morphology for different orientation of Si(100) and Si(111). It was seen the $SiO_2$ thickness increased linearly with initial oxidation time. But oxidation rate slightly decrease with oxidation time. It was also shown that the oxidation process was controlled by the diffusion of the reactive species through the oxide layer rather than by the reaction rate at the oxide interface. The similar time dependency has been observed for thermal and plasma oxidation of silicon. From D-G model and W-Z model, the oxidation rate of Si(111) was 1.13 times greater than Si(100) because Si(111) had higher diffusion and reaction rate, these models more closely fits the experimental data. The $SiO_2$ surface roughness was found to be uniform at experimental conditions without etching although oxidation rate was increased, and to be nonuniform due to etching at experimental condition with higher microwave power and closer substrate distance.

The present study investigated the expression of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA as a stress response during salinity changes (35, 10, and 0 psu) and water temperature changes (from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$, $1^{\circ}C$/day) in black porgy. We cloned the full-length GR cDNA from the kidney and examined its expression in the gill, kidney, and intestine by quantitative real-time PCR (QPCR) during salinity and water temperature changes. During salinity changes, the levels of GR mRNA in the gill, kidney, and intestine were highest at 0 psu, and the levels of plasma cortisol and glucose were elevated, but triiodothyronine ($T_3$) decreased. Also, during water temperature changes, the levels of GR mRNA in the gill, kidney, and intestine increased at $30^{\circ}C$. Plasma parameters also increased with an increase in water temperature. Therefore, this upregulation of GR mRNA was a good indicator of stress, such as those resulting from changes in salinity and water temperature.

Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis Miller) has been used since ancient times to improve various skin diseases such as burns, wounds, and eczema. It has been reported that Aloe vera contains vitamin, enzyme, mineral, sugar, phenolic compound, fatty acid and amino acid. Aloe vera changes its color from green to red under the extreme thermal and arid climate to protect itself. These morphological changes induce variation of composition such as increasing of aloe-emodin content. Aloe-emodin is one of the major anthraquinone in aloe family plants. Since aloe-emodin contains a polyphenolic structure, this compound may be responsible for the reported antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of aloe. However, there is no research on the process of increasing the compounds of Aloe vera. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a pink aloe manufacturing process that increases the aloe-emodin content and enhances the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of aloe. As a result of heating aloe under appropriate conditions, pink aloe increased aloe-emodin content compared to general aloe, and exhibited effects such as increasing antioxidant activity, inhibiting NO production, and promoting cell regeneration. Through this study, the applicability of pink aloe as a new anti-aging material in the cosmetic field was confirmed.

We separated the multilayer structure of CD-R(compact disk-recordable) and investigated optimal spot marking conditions and physical and chemical transitions in response to various laser beam energh levels. Spot marking(80 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ spot size) was produced on the surface of each layer using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser between 27 mJ and 373mJ. By investigating resulting pit formation with Optical Microscopy(OM) and Optical Coherence Tomography(OCT), we analyzed the formation process of spot marking in the multilayer structure of different chemical composition. The localized heating of the substrate in the multilayer thin film caused the short temporal thermal expansion, and absorbed optical energy between reflective and dye interfaces melted dye and increased the volume. During the cooling phase, formation of pit and surrounding rim can be explained by three distinct processes; effect of surface tension, evaporation by spontaneous temperature increase due to laser energy, and mass flow from the recoil pressure. Our results shows that the spot marking formation process in the multilayer thin film is closely related to the layers' physical, chemical, and optical properties, such as surface tension, melt viscosity, layer thickness, and chemical composition.

Chitosan is known to be a good biocompatible natural polymer. Polyethyleneglycol monomethacrylates(PEGM) were grafted onto chitosan and their reaction conditions and properties of the graft polymers obtained were estimated. Using ceric ammonium nitrate(CAN) as the initiator, the optimum condition for graft polymerization was determined amount of the initiator and monomer concentrations and reaction time. Grafting yields such as total conversion, the percentage of grafting and the efficiency of grafting were calculated and examined the optimum reaction condition for high grafting yields. The percentage of grafting and total conversion were maximum at condition that the concentration of initiator was $4{\sim}5{\times}10^{-3}M$, the concentration of monomer was 0.5~0.6M, the reaction time was 2~3 hours and the reaction temperature was about $40^{\circ}C$. Thermal characteristics, solubility for chitosan solvents and inherent viscosity of synthesized graft copolymers were investigated. In high initiator concentration, characteristics of chitosan were greatly diminshed. In case of inherent viscosities, chitosan-g-PE-90 was 2.81 dl/g, chitosan-g-PE-200, 3.01dl/g and chitosan-g-PE-350, 4.93dl/g. And a tendency of viscosity increase depending on the length of ethylene oxide residue was confirmed. Degree of swelling, tensile strength, elongation of membrane prepared from graft copolymers were determined. Properties of graft copolymers were affected by percentage of grafting and length of ethylene oxides residue in polyethylene glycol monomethacrylates. Tensile strength, elongation and degree of swelling of graft copolymers were remarkably improved than chitosan. As percentage of grafting increased, the amount of drug permeation was also increased.

In order to estimate the effect of flow distributors connected to an upper nozzle of CMT(Core Makeup Tank) on the thermal-hydraulic characteristics in the tank, a simplified 2 inch Small Break Loss of Coolant Accident(SBLOCA) was simulated by skipping the decay power and Passive Residual Heat Removal System(PRHRS) actuation. The CMT is a part of safety injection systems in the SMART (System Integrated Modular Advanced Reactor). Each test was performed with reliable boundary conditions. It means that the pressure distribution is provided with repeatable and reproducible behavior during SBLOCA simulations. The maximum flow rates were achieved at around 350 seconds after the initial opening of the isolation valve installed in CMT. After a short period of decreased flow rate, it attained a steady injection flow rate after about 1,250 seconds. This unstable injection period of the CMT coolant is due to the condensation of steam injected into the upper part of CMT. The steady injection flow rate was about 8.4% higher with B-type distributor than that with A-type distributor. The gravity injection during hot condition tests were in good agreement with that during cold condition tests except for the early stages.

In this paper, the design concept of a low-temperature vacuum blackbody was described, and thermophysical model of the blackbody was numerically evaluated. Also the working performance of low-temperature vacuum blackbody was evaluated using infrared camera system. The blackbody system was constructed to operate under high-vacuum conditions ($2.67{\times}10^{-2}$ Pa) to reduce temperature uncertainty, which is caused by vapor condensation at low temperatures usually below 273 K. In addition, both heat sink and heat shield including cold shield were installed around radiator to prevent heat loss from the blackbody. Simplified mathematical model of blackbody radiator was analyzed using modified Stefan-Boltzmann's rule. The infrared radiant performance of the blackbody was evaluated using infrared camera. Based on the results of measurements, and simulation, temperature stability of the low-temperature vacuum blackbody demonstrated that the blackbody system can serve as a highly stable reference source for the calibration of an infrared optical system.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are used in various composite materials to enhance electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of composite materials. In this study, we investigate the wear characteristics of polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) blends containing multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). PC/ABS blends are commonly used in many industrial applications such as cellular phones and display cases and MWCNTs have been added to the PC/ABS blends to improve their electromagnetic interference shielding (EMS). We performed wear tests on PC/ABS blends containing MWCNTs under reciprocating linear sliding conditions with chrome steel balls as a counterpart material. The normal loads were 10, 30, 50, 70, 100 N, the sliding speed was 10 mm/s, the stroke length was 15 mm, and the tests lasted 900 s. The MWCNTs included in the PC/ABS blends lower the wear volume and friction coefficient of the composites. We analyzed the wear debris collected from the composites during the tests in terms of the MWCNT concentration using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. The results show that the quantity of MWCNTs in the debris is proportional to the concentration of MWCNTs in the composite, indicating that the exposure of the MWCNTs to environments by wear could be increased with their concentration in the composite.
