For the purpose of manufacturing a high efficiency TiO2 photocatalyst, B-doped TiO2 photocatalysts are synthesized using a plasma electrolytic oxidation method in 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte with different concentrations of H3BO3 as additive. For the B doped TiO2 layer fabricated from sulfuric electrolyte having a higher concentration of H3BO3 additive, the main XRD peaks of (101) and (200) anatase phase shift gradually toward the lower angle direction, indicating volume expansion of the TiO2 anatase lattice by incorporation of boron, when compared with TiO2 layers formed in sulfuric acid with lower concentration of additive. Moreover, XPS results indicate that the center of the binding energy peak of B1s increases from 191.45 eV to 191.98 eV, which suggests that most of boron atoms are doped interstitially in the TiO2 layer rather than substitutionally. The B doped TiO2 catalyst fabricated in sulfuric electrolyte with 1.0 M H3BO3 exhibits enhanced photocurrent response, and high efficiency and rate constant for dye degradation, which is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the new impurity energy band induced by introducing boron to the interstitial site and the improvement of charge transfer reaction.

무는 중요한 채소작물 중 하나이며 강원도 고랭지에서는 시들음병 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. raphani에 의해 지속적으로 경제적인 피해를 받아왔다. 최근에는 정선군의 고랭지에서 배추과 작물을 기주로 하는 클로버씨스트선충 (Heterodera trifolii)이 발생하여 무 생산에도 위협을 가하고 있다. 이 선충은 무에 직접적인 피해뿐만 아니라 다른 병원균과 복합감염에 의한 2차 피해를 일으킬 수 있는 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 무시들음병균 의 발병에 있어 클로버씨스트선충이 미치는 영향을 알아 보고자 하였다. 무시들음병균과 클로버씨스트선충을 복합 감염시킨 처리구의 식물 초장은 무시들음병균을 단독감염 시킨 처리구의 식물 초장보다 더 낮은 경향을 보였으나 통계적인 유의성은 없었다. 반면, 무시들음병균과 클로버씨 스트선충을 복합감염시킨 처리구의 발병도 (1.60±0.97)는 무시들음병균을 단독감염시킨 처리구 (0.20±0.42)보다 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 발병률도 무시들음병균과 클로버씨 스트선충 복합처리구 (80%)가 무시들음병균 단독처리구 (44%)보다 2배 정도 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과에 따라 강원도 고랭지에서 무시들음병의 방제전략 수립시에는 클로버씨스트선충의 방제도 함께 고려해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

General blood tests and leukocyte differential count are very useful in diagnosing, treating and managing patient’s diseases. This study was conducted to reduce errors caused by the manual method as much as possible by using an automated hematology analyzer (Sysmex K-4500), and to alleviate work burden of the laboratory. The T1 and T2 values calculated from leukocyte differential count that was obtained from the automated hematology analyzer Sysmex K-4500, and the results measured from the manual method were compared and analyzed by using the blood samples of 400 patients who were commissioned in the diagnostic laboratory of the hospital with 120 beds. Upon the results of the study, T1 and T2 obtained from lymphocyte differential count of the automated hematology analyzer Sysmex K-4500 demonstrated high correlation compared to manual method, and the analysis of monocyte, eosinophil, basophil and band cell obtained from T1, T2 and manual method enabled percentile calculation, even though it was difficult to predict the exact monocyte, eosinophil, basophil and band cell. Therefore, it is regarded that the optimal patient results can be reported if manual method observation is selectively combined while referring to T1 and T2 obtained from lymphocyte differential count of the automated hematology analyzer Sysmex K-4500.

A boron-doped diamond(BDD) electrode is attractive for many electrochemical applications due to its distinctive properties: an extremely wide potential window in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, a very low and stable background current and a high resistance to surface fouling. An Ar gas mixture of H2, CH4 and trimethylboron (TMB, 0.1 % C3H9B in H2) is used in a hot filament chemical vapor deposition(HFCVD) reactor. The effect of argon addition on quality, structure and electrochemical property is investigated by scanning electron microscope(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and cyclic voltammetry(CV). In this study, BDD electrodes are manufactured using different Ar/CH4 ratios (Ar/CH4 = 0, 1, 2 and 4). The results of this study show that the diamond grain size decreases with increasing Ar/CH4 ratios. On the other hand, the samples with an Ar/CH4 ratio above 5 fail to produce a BDD electrode. In addition, the BDD electrodes manufactured by introducing different Ar/CH4 ratios result in the most inclined to (111) preferential growth when the Ar/CH4 ratio is 2. It is also noted that the electrochemical properties of the BDD electrode improve with the process of adding argon.

Infrared(IR) heating has many advantages, such as energy efficiency, reduced heating time, cleanliness, equipment compactness, high drying rate and easy automation. These features of IR heating provide widely industrial applications, such as surface heat treatment in semiconductor fabrication, thermoforming of polymers, drying and disinfection of food products, heating to metal forging, and drying of wet materials. In this study, the characteristics of a protected gold mirror were examined by spectrophotometer and the lifetime of the coating layers were evaluated by a cross-cutting method and salt spray test. The effects of manufacturing conditions on the protected gold mirror were seen and remedies for these effects were noted in order to improve the properties of the protected gold mirror in the drying process. The reflectance and lifetime of the protected gold mirror was influenced by manufacturing conditions, such as surface roughness and forming conditions of the anti-oxide layer, the adhesion layer, the reflecting layer and the protection layer. The results of this study showed that the protected gold mirror manufactured using a buffing method for pre-treatment resulted in the most effective reflectance. In addition, Al2O3 coating on an Al substrate as an anti-oxide layer was more effective than the anodizing process in the test of reflectance. Furthermore, the protected gold mirror manufactured by layers forming of various materials resulted in the most effective reflectance and lifetime when coated with Al2O3 as the anti-oxide layer, coated Cr as the adhesion layer, and coated MgF2 as the protection layer.
