Field emission display(FED) is actively investigated in view of the development of full color flat-panel display, which can replace some cathode-ray tube(CRT). Thus, the development of new phosphors appropriate for FED is urgently needed and has been actively investigated. In this work, SrTiO3:Pr3+ phosphor was prepared by sol-gel method and the coating was applied by sol-gel method combined with sonication on these phosphor's surface into diluted precursor solution. It was found that very fine particles of coating material were formed on phosphor's surface. The luminescent intensity of SrTiO3:Pr3+ phosphor coated with SiO2 and Al2O3 was considerably increased without any noticeable change in color chromaticity. The optimum concentration of coating material was found to be 1wt% and the optimum pH value of the solution was 10.

중성자가 조사된 흑연에 내재되어 있는 Wigner 에너지를 배출시키는 방법의 하나인 가열냉각공정의 적용 예로 DSC(미분 주사선 열량계) 측정을 통해 흑연으로부터 Wigner 에너지가 배출되는 열 배출 특성을 연구하였다. 일정온도 상승 방법 에 의한 DSC 운전에서 중성자가 조사된 흑연을 가열냉각(annealing)하는 동안 배출되는 Wigner 에너지의 총량과 처리온도에 따른 배출속도를 측정하였다. 연구로 2호기(KRR-2) thermal column 내에 위치별로 중성자의 조사량에 차이가 나는 흑연 시료를 분말로 만들어 상온에서 까지의 온도 범위에서 DSC를 운전하고 이로부터 Wigner 에너지의 배출 속도를 측정하였다. 가열냉각 동안 중성자가 조사된 흑연에서 배출되는 Wigner 에너지의 배출 특성은 가변적 활성화 에너지 속도 식으로 잘 상관시킬 수 있었다.

Y2-xGdxO3:Eu, phosphors for plasma display panel(PDP), were prepared by Pechini method which use yttriun chloride, gadolinium chloride, and europium oxide as starting materials. This method is a different way to the synthesis of europium(Eu)-doped phosphors, and it consists of the formation of a polymeric resin obtained by polyesterification between metal chelate compounds and a polyfunctional alcohol. This needs lower temperature than solid-state synthetic method. The prepared Y2-xGdxO3:Eu phosphor particles had spherical shape and coherence. The luminescence intensity of Y2-xGdxO3:Eu phosphor particles increased according to the increase of gadolinium(Gd) content(to 0.8mol%), and Y1.2Gd0.8O3:Eu phosphors had the highest luminescence intensity under vacuum ultra violet(VUV) excitation. The optimum concentration of Eu in the phosphor and optimum calcination temperature was 3wt% and 1100℃. The prepared phosphors were consist of particle, and its size was between 100nm and 150nm. Among the different polyfunctional alcohols, diethylene glycol(DEG) improved the luminescence intensities of phosphors more than other additives. The Pechini method proved that it is demonstrated to be suitable for the synthesis of phosphors used in PDP.

해체비용 산정은 원자력시설에 대한 해체 설계 및 계획 수립하는 데 중요한 기술이다. 해체비용 산정은 해체활동 단계와 해체시설의 구성요소에 맞게 해체작업을 분류하여 계산을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 원자력연구시설 해체비용 산정 기술로 이용하기 위하여 해체비용항목 및 그룹의 구성요소와 해체대상물에 대한 작업시간 계산의 기준이 되는 단위비용 인자 구성요소를 도출함으로써 해체비용 산정에 필요한 기본 구조를 완성하였다. 또한 주요 해체활동 및 작업에 대한 비용 산정 시 구성요소에 대한 고려사항을 살펴보았다. 향후, 이러한 기법을 이용하여 원자력연구시설에 대한 해체비용 산정 및 평가 방법론을 확립하는데 기본 기술로 활용할 예정이다.

Culex pipiens complex larvae were found at the septic tanks in Susan and Ulsan cities located in South-eastern area of Korean peninsula. The larvae were collected in 25, 35 and 75 septic tanks out of 3,527, 622 and 1,111 septic tanks which the breeding rates were averages of 0.7%, 5.6% and 6.8% in Susan from January to May, 2003, Susan from February to March, 2004, and Ulsan from January to April, 2005, respectively. The average numbers of the mosquitoes in the tanks were 38.8, 14.9 and 13.7 larvae/dip with a 355-㎖ dipper. The larval densities were from 25.4 larvae/dip in January to 43.7 larvae/dip in April. 2003 which were not significantly different between them. It was the first report to find mosquito breeding at septic tanks in Republic of Korea. Culex pipiens larvae were found in 6 out of 379 septic tanks at complex buildings (over 2,000㎡ in size) in Ulsan from June to September, 2005, having an average of 1.6% for mosquito breeding rate. The mosquito larvae were collected in 8 and 530 septic tanks out of 210 and 3,729 septic tanks at large (over 300 homes) and small apartments (below 300 homes) with 3.8% and 14.2% of the average breeding rates, respectively. At the septic tanks of private houses for below 50 persons, 708 out of 7,178 septic tanks had Cx. pipiens larvae and pupae with 9.9% of the average breeding rate. Total average of the mosquito breeding rate was 10.9% of the investigated septic tanks of residential buildings in Ulsan. The number of mosquito larvae in the septic tanks were 15 to 75 larvae/dip. The bent net sets of septic tanks prevented from mosquito breeding to the rate of 93.1 %.

The silica nanoparticles were used as support of catalyst, filling material, electronic assembler, thin film material, and sensor material. And, the titania nanoparticles were used as pigment, dielectric substance, sensor and photocatalyst. In this paper, the spherical composite particles of TiO2/SiO2with narrow size distribution and phase pure were synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method from TiOSO4 and colloidal silica solution. Using ultrasonic apparatus, this starting solution was vaporized to droplets, and these droplets were induced into tube furnace by carrier gas. The resulting composite powder was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, TG-DTA, in vitro sun protection factor(SPF) and BET surface area analysis.

Most of cosmetics are emulsion products that contain the source of nutrition vegetable oil, mineral oil, natural extract and carbohydrate etc. There are many possibilities to be contaminated by microbials. We investigated the effect of antimicrobial and minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) with thiamine dilauryl sulfate(TDS), which was prepared to use cosmetic lotion formulation. Staphylococcus aureus(S. aureus) and Escherichia col(E. coli) were used as test organism. MIC value of TDS was determined aganist microorganism for the growth inhibition by concentration of TDS. From the MIC results, antimicrobial effect of TDS was generally more effective to gram positive than gram negative. Antimicrobial effect with pH value against some microorganism appeared in the following order : pH 5 > pH 6 > pH 7. It showed strong antimicrobial activities against S. aureus, and weak antimicrobial activities against E. coli. If it was possible to determine the formulations with TDS, it would be effective to reduce the artificial preservatives.
