Accurate and rapid detection of antibiotics is critical for protecting human health and the environment. To this end, we report a novel electrochemical sensor for the simultaneous detection of Levofloxacin (LFX) and Tryptophan (TRP) in dairy samples. Outstanding electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of LFX and TRP is exhibited by the Activated Nanodiamond (AND) and Ti3AlC2 max phase ( Ti3AlC2max) nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode ( Ti3AlC2max AND/GCE) featured in our sensor. High selectivity and sensitivity are achieved by the sensor, with limits of detection (LOD) of 20.47 nM and 0.309 μM for LFX and TRP, respectively. Moreover, strong anti-parasite capacity is demonstrated by the developed sensor, making it an excellent candidate for the establishment of a reliable sensing platform for antibiotic detection. Findings suggest that this novel sensor could serve as a valuable tool for monitoring the content of LFX and TRP in dairy samples and enhancing the safety of these products.

In this study, ternary compound Max Phase Ti2AlC material was mixed by 3D ball milling as a function of ball milling time. More than 99.5 wt% pure Ti2AlC was synthesized by using spark plasma sintering method at 1000, 1100, 1200, and 1300oC for 60 min. The material characteristics of synthesized samples were examined with relative density, hardness, and electrical conductivity as a function of sintering temperature. The phase composition of bulk was identified by X-ray diffraction. On the basis of FE-SEM result, a terraced structures which consists of several laminated layers were observed. And Ti2AlC bulk material obtained a vickers hardness of 5.1 GPa at the sintering temperature of 1100oC.

Ti alloys are extensively used in high-technology application because of their strength, oxidation resistance at high temperature. However, Ti alloys tend to be classified very difficult to cut material. In this paper, The powder synthesis, spark plasma sintering (SPS), bulk material properties such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are systematically examined on Ti2AlN and Ti2AlC materials having most light-weight and oxidation resistance among the MAX phases. The bulk samples mainly consisted of Ti2AlN and Ti2AlC materials with density close to theoretical value were synthesized by a SPS method. Machining characteristics such as machining time, surface quality are analyzed with measurement of voltage and current waveform according to machining condition of micro-electrical discharge machining with micro-channel shape.

난 식재용토 대체용으로 경량기포 콘크리트 부산물(Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete; ALC)을 여러 난과식물의 재배에 이용한 결과 동양란 심비디움 ‘Gengi’의 생육은 경량콘크리트 부산물인 ALC에서 가장 좋았으며 특히 화경 추대는 다른 기존의 식재용토에 비해 월등히 양호하였다. 엽록소 함량은 하이드로볼 처리구에서 높았고, 엽록소형광(Fv/Fm)은 ALC에서 가장 낮았다. 서양란 심비디움 ‘Majolica’의 생육은 휴가토에서 가장 좋았으나 화경수는 휴가토와 ALC에서 많았다. 따라서 ALC는 심비디움의 화경 형성에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 반면 착생란인 호접란의 생육은 원예용 혼합 상토에서 가장 좋았다. 동양란과 서양란 심비디움에서 화경 형성에 ALC가 좋았던 것과 달리 호접란은 바크 식재구에서 화경이 가장 많이 형성되었다. 엽록소 함량 역시 바크 처리구에서 높았고, Fv/Fm은 ALC에서 자란 심비디움에서 높았고 착생란인 호접란은 보수력이 좋은 상토 처리구에서 생육이 가장 좋은 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구결과 건축부산물인 ALC는 지생란인 동양란과 서양란 심비디움의 생육과 화경 발달에 효과적이었으며 휴가토, 녹소토, 혹은 하이드로볼 대체용으로 이용 가능성이 높을 것으로 생각된다.

Titanium alloys are extensively used in high-temperature applications due to their excellent high strength andcorrosion resistance properties. However, titanium alloys are problematic because they tend to be extremely difficult-to-cut material. In this paper, the powder synthesis, spark plasma sintering (SPS), bulk material characteristics and machin-ability test of hybrid Ti2AlC ceramic bulk materials were systematically examined. The bulk samples mainly consistedof Ti2AlC materials with density close to theoretical value were synthesized by a SPS method. Random orientation andgood crystallization of the Ti2AlC was observed at 1100℃ for 10 min under SPS sintering conditions. Scanning electronmicroscopy results indicated a homogeneous distribution and nano-laminated structure of Ti2AlC MAX phase. The hard-ness and electrical conductivity of Ti2AlC were higher than that of Ti 6242 alloy at sintering temperature of 1000℃~1100℃. Consequently, the machinability of the hybrid Ti2AlC bulk materials is better than that of the Ti 6242 alloy formicro-EDM process of micro-hole shape workpiece.

In the ALC(Autoclaved lightweight concrete) manufacturing process, if the pre-cured semi-cake is removed after proper time is passed, it will be hard to retain the moisture and be easily cracked. Therefore, in this research, we took the research by multiple regression analysis to find relationship between variables for the prediction the hardness that is the control standard of the removal time. We study the relationship between Independent variables such as the V/T(Vibration Time), V/T movement, expansion height, curing time, placing temperature, Rising and C/S ratio and the Dependent variables, the hardness by multiple regression analysis. In this study, first, we calculated regression equation by the regression analysis, then we tried phased regression analysis, best subset regression analysis and residual analysis. At last, we could verify curing time, placing temperature, Rising and C/S ratio influence to the hardness by the estimated regression equation.

Cr2AlC was synthesized by a reactive hot pressing of CrCx (x=0.5) and Al powder mixture used as starting materials at the temperature range of 1200 oC~1400 oC under 25 MPa in Ar atmosphere. Fully dense Cr2AlC with high purity was synthesized by hot pressing CrCx and Al powder mixture at the temperature as low as 1200 oC. The average grain size of synthesized bulk Cr2AlC was varied in the range of 10-100 ㎛ depending on hot pressing temperatures. The maximum flexural strength of synthesized bulk Cr2AlC exceeded 600 MPa.

온실가스의 대기 방출에 기인된 지구온난화는 범세계적인 주요 문제로 다루어지고 있으며, 이에 대한 많은 대책 중의 하나로 광물탄산화가 관심을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 조건에서 경량 기포콘크리트를 이용한 광물탄산화 실험을 수행하여 이들의 탄산화 재료로써의 가능성을 파악코자 하였다. 경량 기포콘 크리트는 광물탄산화의 주요성분인 CaO의 함량이 약 27wt.%에 달하여 탄산화를 위한 유망한 재료로 간주 할 수 있다. 이 함량 모두가 광물탄산화에 참여한다는 가정 하에 계산된 CaCO3 함량은 약 40wt.%이다. 경량 기포콘크리트로부터 광물탄산화 반응의 최적 조건은 단일상의 방해석이 형성된 고액비 0.01, 반응시간 180 분이며, 그리고 단일상 여부와 무관하게 즉 방해석과 바테라이트가 공존하는 경우, 고액비 0.06, 반응시간 180 분인 것으로 확인된다. 고액비 0.06이상인 경우, 방해석과 더불어 바테라이트가 공존하였으며, 이는 광물탄산화에 따라 초기에 형성된 바테라이트가 점차 방해석으로 상전이 된 데 반하여 후기에 형성된 바테라이트는 반응 종료 시까지 방해석으로 상전이 되지 못한데 원인이 있는 것으로 해석된다.
