We fabricated 3 types of ETL, mp TiO2, ZnO, and ZnO coated on mp TiO2(ZMT) to compare the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) and fill factor (FF) of Perovskite solar cells. The structure of the cells was FTO/ETL/Perovskite (CH3NH3PbI3)/spiro-MeOTAD/Ag. SEM morphology assessment of the ETLs showed that mp TiO2 was porous, ZnO was flat, and the ZMT porous surface was filled with a thin layer. Via XRD measurements, the crystal structures of mp TiO2 and ZnO ETL were found to be anatase and wurtzite, respectively. The XPS patterns showing energy bonding of mp TiO2, ZnO, and ZMT O 1s confirmed these materials to be metal oxides such as ETL. The electrical characteristics of the Perovskite solar cells were measured using a solar simulator. Perovskite solar cells with ZMT ETL showed showed PCE of 10.29 % than that of conventional mp TiO2 ETL devices. This was considered a result of preventing Perovskite from seeping into the ETL and preventing recombination of electrons and holes.

Molybdenum is used in electrical contacts, industrial motors, and transportation materials due to its remarkable ability to resist heat and corrosion. It is also used to flame coat other metals. This study investigated, the thermal characteristics of the molybdenum sputtered material, such as electrical conductivity, and stealth effects on infrared thermal imaging cameras. To this end, molybdenum sputtered samples were prepared by varying the density of the base sample and the type of base materials used. Thereafter, the produced samples were evaluated for their surface state, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic field characteristics, thermal characteristics, stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras, and moisture characteristics. As a result of infrared thermal imaging, the molybdenum layer was directed towards the outside air, and when the sample was a film, it demonstrated a greater stealth effect than the fabric. When the molybdenum layer was directed to the outside air, all of the molybdenum sputtering-treated samples exhibited a lower surface temperature than the “untreated sample.” In addition, as a result of confirming electrical properties following the molybdenum sputtering treatment, it was determined that the film exhibited better electrical conductivity than the fabric. All samples that were subjected to molybdenum sputtering exhibited significantly reduced electromagnetic and IR transmission. As a result, the stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras is considered to be a better way of interpreting heat transfer than infrared transmission. These results are expected to have future applications in high-performance smartwear, military uniforms, and medical wear.

The continuous development of in-vehicle information systems in recent years has dramatically enriched drivers’ driving experience while occupying their cognitive resources to varying degrees, causing driving distraction. Under this complex information system, managing the complexity and priority of information and further improvement in driving safety has become a key issue that needs to be urgently solved by the in-vehicle information system. The new interactive methods incorporating the augmented reality (AR) and head-up display (HUD) technologies into in-vehicle information systems are currently receiving widespread attention. This superimposes various onboard information into an actual driving scene, thereby meeting the needs of complex tasks and improving driving safety. Based on the qualitative research methods of surveys and telephone interviews, this study collects the information needs of the target user groups (i.e., beginners and skilled drivers) and constructs a three-mode information database to provide the basis for a customized AR-HUD interface design.

수국은 수국과(Hydrnageaceae) 수국속(Hydrangea)에 속하는 낙엽관목 식물로 크고 화려한 화색과 화형을 가져 절화, 분화 뿐만 아니라 정원용으로도 전세계적으로 인기있는 식물이다. 본 연구는 SSR 마커를 이용하여 교배에 사용된 5가지 수국 품종에 대한 유전적 유연관계를 조사하고 교배 조합 별 종자의 형성과 발아율을 조사하여 품종간 화합성과 불화합성을 확인, F1의 화서와 잎 모양의 유전 양상을 조사하기 위해 수행 하였다. 군집분석 결과 Hydrangea macrophylla와 H. serrata 로 크게 두가지 그룹으로 나뉘었고 교배결과 종내 교배와 H. macrophylla를 모본으로 종간 교배를 했을 때 획득 자손의 수에 차이가 거의 없어 두 종간 친화성이 확인되었다. 자가 수 분을 통한 종자형성은 어렵거나 생기더라도 발아가 되지 않아 자가불화합성이 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 또, 2018년 H. macrophylla와 H. serrata를 교배에 사용하여 총 9개 교배조 합을 통해 1,807개의 F1을 얻었고 교배 조합들 간 자손을 이용하여 화서의 유전 양상과 화서에 따른 잎의 형태를 조사하여 화서와 잎 모양의 관계를 보았다. 그 결과, 모본 또는 부본에 편평형이 있다면 F1 전체 편평형의 화서 유형을 보였다. 화서 모양이 원형인 자손은 원형 화서 끼리의 교배를 통해서만 얻었다. 또, 원형의 자손의 잎은 전체적으로 엽폭과 엽장이 비슷 한 원형에 가까웠고, 편평형 자손들의 잎 모양은 엽장이 엽폭 보다 큰 길쭉한 타원형에 가까웠다. 그 중, 편평형과 원형의 혼합 교배를 통해 얻어진 F1 자손들에서는 잎의 모양이 원형 과 타원형의 중간형태임을 확인하였다. 이를 통해, 화서의 형 태는 단일 유전자에 의한 우성 열성 유전임을 확인하였고 잎은 화서 유형과 연관되어 있으며 중간 유전 형태임을 확인하 였다. 본 연구결과는 수국의 유전 육종에 관한 기초자료로써 교배 조합 작성 단계 또는 1년생 실생의 잎 모양을 통한 빠른 화서 모양 선발과 분리가 가능하여 육종 기간 단축을 기대할 수 있을 것이다.

This study presents the data analysis results of groundwater chemistry and the occurrence of fluoride in groundwater obtained from the groundwater quality monitoring network of Korea. The groundwater data were collected from the National Groundwater Information Center and censored for erratic values and charge balance (±10%). From the geochemical graphs and various ionic ratios, it was observed that the Ca-HCO3 type was predominant in Korean groundwater. In addition, water-rock interaction was identified as a key chemical process controlling groundwater chemistry, while precipitation and evaporation were found to be less important. According to a non-parametric trend test, at p=0.05, the concentration of fluoride in groundwater did not increase significantly and only 4.3% of the total groundwater exceeded the Korean drinking water standard of 1.5 mg/L. However, student t-tests revealed that the fluoride concentrations were closely associated with the lithologies of tuff, granite porphyry, and metamorphic rocks showing distinctively high levels. This study enhances our understanding of groundwater chemical composition and major controlling factors of fluoride occurrence and distribution in Korean groundwater.

World-class zoos have been recognized proponents of both animal welfare and wildlife conservation. The Korean zoos are in controversy over its existence, citing poor role performance. As one of the efforts to protect animals’ welfare and enhance wildlife conservation, leading zoos have been accredited through the inspections and evaluations. To improve the quality of Korean zoos, an accreditation standard that fits for Korean environment needs to be set. Out of various zoo accreditation standards around the world, we compared each category of all five publicly available accreditation standards; the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in the United States(AZA), Canada's Accredited Zoos and Aquarium(CAZA), European Association of Zoos and Aquaria(EAZA), Zoological Association of America(ZAA), and the Pan-African Association of Zoos and Aquariums(PAAZA). Based on the analysis result, we established 10 essential categories that were finally approved by the Focus group interview; animal welfare and care and management, veterinary care, conservation, education and interpretation, governing authority, staff, finance, physical facilities, safety and security, and master & strategy plan. This minimum zoo accreditation standards would enlighten the path to improve animal welfare and wildlife conservation of Korean local zoos.

본 연구의 목적은 사용자가 경험하는 정체성의 변화와 감각경험의 특이성을 고찰하는 것이며, 이를 통해 예 술치료 공간으로서 메타버스의 가능성을 점검하는 것이다. 최근 메타버스는 오락과 교육, 경제, 정치와 같은 사회문화적 체계를 모방할 뿐 아니라 직접 구성하고 실현하는 플랫폼으로 자리잡고 있다. 메타버스의 정서 소통의 내용이 세밀해지고 범위가 넓어진 만큼 예술표현과 치료도 다양한 형태로 구현될 수 있다. 메타버스 의 ‘정서적 소통’과 ‘감각적 표현’의 특이성은 원격현전의 존재감, 그리고 상호작용의 소통에서 비롯된다. 원격 경험이란 물리적 자아와 현전적 자아의 일치와 분리의 정서를 동시에 느끼는 것이기 때문에 감정 경험에서 도 분리와 일치가 일어날 수 있다. 사용자는 스스로 만들어내고 맥락화한 세계를 경험하며 가상공간에서 미 학적 내용은 물질적 경험은 감소한 채 총체감각의 몰입을 추구하는 유희적 상호작용 행위의 반복에 의해 창 조된다. 가상공간은 양가적 개념을 동시에 수용하는 공간이기도 하지만 그것을 사용하는 사람의 정서도 양가 적으로 발현되는 특징이 있으며. 사용자 본인의 정서 상태, 심리적 안정성의 상황에 따라 증상이 다르게 나 타난다. 메타버스는 양가성의 수용, 현실과의 연계성, 가상 및 물리적 감각경험의 혼합을 통해 분열되고 변형 되는 자아상의 재통합을 가져오는 치료실로 활용될 수 있다.

In this study, Fe–Mo–MgO catalysts for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were prepared using the combustion method and CNTs were synthesized through catalytic chemical vapor deposition. The combustion time was controlled to 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, and 24 h in the catalyst preparation stage. The residual carbon contents after the combustion stage and the morphologies of synthesized CNTs were also analyzed. The diameter, yield, and crystallinity of the synthesized CNTs were found to remarkably vary according to the combustion time in the catalyst preparation process. The amount of residual carbon in the catalyst considerably affects the purity, crystallinity, diameter and its distribution, and wall number of CNTs. Based on the yield and crystallinity, CNTs synthesized using the catalyst with a combustion time of 3 h were determined to be the most appropriate for application in field emitters
