Vegetative Filter Strip (VFS) is the best management practice which has been widely used to mitigate water pollutants from agricultural fields by alleviating runoff and sediment. This study was conducted to improve an equation for estimating sediment trapping efficiency of VFS using several different regularization methods (i.e., ordinary least squares analysis, LASSO, ridge regression analysis and elastic net). The four different regularization methods were employed to develop the sediment trapping efficiency equation of VFS. Each regularization method indicated high accuracy in estimating the sediment trapping efficiency of VFS. Among the four regularization methods, the ridge method showed the most accurate results according to $R^2$, RMSE and MAPE which were 0.94, 7.31% and 14.63%, respectively. The equation developed in this study can be applied in watershed-scale hydrological models in order to estimate the sediment trapping efficiency of VFS in agricultural fields for an effective watershed management in Korea.

A charge trapping host structure was developed to improve the light-emitting efficiency of green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene(mCP) and a spirobifluorene based triplet host(PHl) were co-deposited as hosts in the emitting layer and the device performance was examined according to the composition mCP and PH1. The results showed that the quantum efficiency could be improved by 30 % using a mixed host of mCP and PH1.

The color difference between original and printed copy is affected mainly by ink trapping and optical properties of overprinted ink layer. Since the general expression itself about ink trapping is affected also by the optical properties, the analysis of color difference using the ink trapping only cannot be certain. This study will show a new approaching method for optical analysis of spectral reflectance and the effect of printing sequence on color difference in multi-color overprints under the condition of excluding completely the ink trapping problems by means of using transparent film as a substrate.

본 연구는 VFSMOD-w 모형을 이용하여 비점오염물의 관리를 위한 식생대 설치 시 파종 식물의 종류, 식생대의 길이, 강우 조건이 저감 효율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것을 목적으로 수행되었다. 연구를 위한 대상 지역으로 청미천 유역 내 원부교 부근의 나지를 선정하였다. 수정된 Manning의 조도계수가 동일한 값을 가지는 식물체의 경우 토사 저감 효율이 동일하게 계산되는 결과가 도출되었고, 식생대의 길이 및 식물체의 파종 간격이 토사 저감 효율에 가장 지배적인 영향을 미치는 것이 확인되었다. 동일한 강우 조건에서 식생대의 길이가 약 2배 증가할 때 토사 저감 효율이 많은 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 식생대의 길이가 증가할수록 토사 저감 효율이 증가하나, 특정 길이 이상일 경우 대부분의 토사가 포착되는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 식생대의 설치는 식생대 설치지역의 강우 특성을 고려하여 적절한 식물체의 파종 간격 및 식생대 길이를 결정지어야 한다고 판단된다.

Soybean lecithin liposomes composed phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, phosphatidyl inositol and phosphatidic acid were prepared by using the previously developed supercritical reverse phase evaporation method. The effect of phospholipid composition on the formation of liposomes and physicochemical properties were examined by means of trapping efficiency measurements, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering and zeta potential measurements. The trapping efficiency of liposomes for D-(+)-glucose made of CNA-Ⅰ which contains approximately 95% phosphatidyl choline is higher than that of CNA-II and CNA-O which contain approximately 32% phosphatidyl choline. However there is no any difference between the trapping efficiency of liposomes for D-(+)-glucose made of CNA-II which has saturated hydrocarbons tails and that of liposomes made of CNA-O which has unsaturated hydrocarbon chains. The electron micrographs of liposomes made of CNA-II and CNA-O show small spherical liposomes with diameter of $0.1\sim0.25{\mu}m$, while that of CNA-I shows large unilamellar liposomes with diameter of $0.2\sim1.2{\mu}m$. These results clearly show that phospholipid structure of phosphatidylcholine allows an efficient preparation of large unilamellar liposomes and a high trapping efficiency for water soluble substances. Liposomes made of CNA-II and CNA-O remained well-dispersed for at least 14 days, while liposome suspension made of CNA-I separated in two phase at 14 days due to aggregation and fusion of liposomes. The dispersibility of liposomes made of CNA-I is lower than that of CNA-II and CNA-O due to the smallar zeta potential of CNA-I.

Among the various types of solar cells, silicon based two terminal tandem solar cell is one of the most popular one. It is designed to split the absorption of incident AM1.5 solar radiation among two of its component cells, thereby widening the wavelength range of external quantum efficiency (EQE) spectra of the device, in comparison to that of a single junction solar cell. In order to improve the EQE spectra further and raise short circuit current density ($J_{sc}$) an optimization of the tradeoff between the top and bottom cell is needed. In an optimized cell structure, the $J_{sc}$ and hence efficiency of the device can further be enhanced with the help of light trapping scheme. This can be achieved by texturing front and back surface as well as a back reflector of the device. In this brief review we highlight the development of light trapping in the silicon based tandem solar cell.

This is a brief review on light trapping in Si based thin film solar cells with textured surfaces and transparent conducting oxide front electrodes. The light trapping scheme appears to be essential in improving device efficiency over 10%. As light absorption in a thin film solar cells is not sufficient, light trapping becomes necessary to be effectively implemented with a textured surface. Surface texturing helps in the light trapping, and thereby raises short circuit current density and its efficiency. Such a scheme can be adapted to single junction as well as tandem solar cell, amorphous or micro-crystalline devices. A tandem cell is expected to have superior performance in comparison to a single junction cell and random surface textures appears to be preferable to a periodic structures.

The scavenging characteristics have a great influence on the performance of a diesel engine, especially slow-speed two-stroke diesel engines which are usually used as a marine propulsion power plant, and they are greatly affected by the conditions in the cylinder, intake and exhaust manifolds, and the opening and closing timing of scavenging ports or exhaust valves during the gas exchange process. Besides, there are many other factors to affect the scavenging characteristics and these factors interact each other very complicatedly. Therefore the simulation program of the gas exchange process is very useful to improve and predict the scavenging characteristics, due to the high costs associated with redesign and testing. In this paper it was attenpted to investigate the effect of the variation of the pressure ratio of intake to exhaust manifolds, and the variation of the opening and closing timing of a exhaust valve by using a computational program for a three-zone scavenging model which was developed by authors. The computed results showed that the scavenging efficiency and delivery ratio increased considerably, but the trapping efficiency decreased with increasing of the pressure ratio of intake to exhaust manifolds. The scavenging efficiency, trapping efficiency, and th conditions of the cylinder gases were affected by the opening timing of the exhaust valve, but the delivery ratio by the closing timing.

The light harvesting efficiency is counted as an important factor in the power conversion efficiency of DSSCs. There are two measures to improve this parameter, including enhancing the dye-loading capacity and increasing the light trapping in the photoanode structure. In this paper, these tasks are addressed by introducing a macro-porous silicon (PSi) substrate as photoanode. The effects of the novel photoanode structure on the DSSC performance have been investigated by using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, photocurrent-voltage, UV-visible spectroscopy, reflectance spectroscopy, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. The results indicated that bigger porosity percentage of the PSi structure improved the both anti-reflective/light-trapping and dye-loading capacity properties. PSi based DSSCs own higher power conversion efficiency due to its remarkable higher photocurrent, open circuit voltage, and fill factor. Percent porosity of 64%, PSi(III), resulted in nearly 50 percent increment in power conversion efficiency compared with conventional DSSC. This paper showed that PSi can be a good candidate for the improvement of light harvesting efficiency in DSSCs. Furthermore, this study can be considered a valuable reference for more investigations in the design of multifunctional devices which will profit from integrated on-chip solar power.
