<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Despite extremely high capacity of Si-based anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIB), Si-based materials have shown a structural collapse caused by a volumetric expansion/contraction during the cycling process. The conventional electrode structure, which consists of active materials, a current collector, a conducting agent, and a binder, actually showed a low loading of active material due to the other heavy components. In this study, we prepared a 3D flexible Si-composite electrode consisting of core (Si)-shell (Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4</SUB>) NPs (Si@Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4</SUB>) and carbon nanofibers (denoted as Si-composite/CNF). The Si-composite/CNF was directly utilized as an anode in the absence of the other components was electrochemically evaluated using a coin-type cell. The Si-composite/CNF showed a high capacity of 665mAhg<SUP>−1</SUP> at a fairly high current density of 10Ag<SUP>−1</SUP> and an extremely low capacity loss for 2000 cycles.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> We prepared Si-composite/CNF exhibits a 3D flexible Si-composite electrode. </LI> <LI> The electrode consists of core (Si)-shell (Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4</SUB>) NPs (Si@Si<SUB>3</SUB>N<SUB>4</SUB>) and carbon nanofibers. </LI> <LI> The Si-composite/CNF was directly utilized as an anode. </LI> <LI> Si-composite /CNF exhibited high specific capacity and improved high rate cycling performance. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Objective To compare mental health problems and personality characteristics between adolescents with self-injury (SI) and suicidal tendency (ST), including suicidal ideation and suicide planning. Methods The participants completed the Adolescent Personality and Mental Health Problems Screening Questionnaire, Third version (AMPQ-III), and Korean version of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ-Kr), and gave their demographic information. Based on the answered SI and ST items in AMPQ-III, the participants were divided into groups: without SI and ST, with SI and without ST, without SI and with ST, and with SI and ST. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc Scheffe test were used to determine group differences, stepwise multiple linear regression, and factors associated with SI and ST. Results ANOVA yielded results for all categories of mental health problems. Significant differences were observed between the four groups. Conversely, for personality characteristics, only the sense of community item between the group without SI and with ST and the group without SI and ST were significantly different; sense of community was associated with ST (β=-0.054, p=0.005). Among the mental health subscales, SI was significantly associated with conduct problems (β=0.211, p<0.001), emotional problems (β=0.173, p<0.001), peer problems (β=0.085, p<0.001), and prosocial behavior (β=0.073, p<0.001). ST was significantly associated with emotional symptoms (β=0.317, p<0.001), peer problems (β=0.130, p<0.001), conduct problems (β=0.106, p<0.001), hyperactivity (β=0.050, p=0.010), and prosocial behavior (β=0.062, p<0.001). Conclusion The findings highlight the necessity of assessing psychological strength, difficulties, and personality characteristics for the prevention and early intervention of adolescent SI.

이승준,유용재,정성민,배시영,이원재,신윤지,Lee, Seung-June,Yoo, Yong-Jae,Jeong, Seong-Min,Bae, Si-Young,Lee, Won-Jae,Shin, Yun-Ji 한국결정성장학회 2022 한국결정성장학회지 Vol.32 No.2

본 연구에서는 SiC 단결정의 TSSG 공정중 결정 품질을 저하시키지 않으면서도 의도하지 않은 질소 도핑(N-UID)을 쉽게 제어하기 위해 지금까지 Co 또는 Sc 전이금속을 첨가한 신규 용융조성을 제안한다. Co 또는 Sc의 특성을 파악하기 위해 Ar 분위기에서 1900℃ 온도에서 약 2시간 동안 열처리 실험을 수행했다. 용융조성은 Si-Ti 10 at% 또는 Si-Cr 30 at%를 비롯하여, 탄소 용해도에 효과적이라고 알려진 Co 또는 Sc을 각각 3 at% 첨가하였다. 열처리 후 도가니 단면을 가공하여 도가니-용융물 계면에서 발생한 Si-C 반응층을 관찰하고, 탄소황분석을 통해 조성에 따른 탄소 용해도를 간접적으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, Si-Sc 기반 용융조성이 TSSG 공정에 적합한 특성을 갖는 Si-C반응층을 형성하고 있었다. 또한 탄소황분석 결과에서도 Cr 다음으로 높은 탄소량이 갖는 것으로 분석되었다. Sc는 Cr에 비해 질소와의 반응성이 낮은 이점을 가지므로 TSSG 공정에 Si-Sc 용융조성을 적용하면, 본 연구에서 의도한 대로 SiC 단결정 성장속도와 질소 UID를 모두 제어할 수 있는 것으로 고려된다.

( Do Seon Song ),( U Im Chang ),( Seong Woo Go ),( Jeong Won Jang ),( Si Hyun Bae ),( Seung Kew Yoon ),( Jin Mo Yang ) 대한간학회 2018 춘·추계 학술대회 (KASL) Vol.2018 No.1

Aims: We aimed to investigate the association between the change of muscle mass and change of fibrosis and steatosis in NAFLD patients. Methods: We analyzed 2,893 NAFLD subjects who had health check-up more than twice in St. Vincent’s Hospital between November 2009 and December 2017. NAFLD was diagnosed by ultrasound, and appendicular muscle mass (ASM) was assessed by Inbody 720, and Sarcopenia index was calculated as ASM divided by weight (SI%) and ASM divided by body mass index (SI-BMI). Non-invasive markers were used to evaluate the severity of hepatic fibrosis and steatosis; NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), Fibrosis-4 (Fib-4) score, and Forn’s index for fibrosis, and hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and fatty liver index (FLI) for steatosis. Results: The mean age was 47.3±10.4 years, and 1956 subjects (67.6%) were male. Diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome were more prevalent in sarcopenic subjects (P<0.01), and non-invasive fibrosis and steatosis markers were higher in sarcopenic subjects (P< 0.01). The mean interval between two health check-up was 39.8±21.9 months. There was no significant association between the change of NFS, Fib-4, and Forn’s index and the change of SI% and SI-BMI (all P >0.1). However, the changes of HIS and FLI were significantly associated with the change of SI% and SI-BMI (all P<0.01). Multivariate logistic analysis demonstrated the independent association between the change of skeletal muscle mass and the changes of non-invasive steatosis markers after adjusting for other confounding factors (all P< 0.001). However, the changes of non-invasive fibrosis markers did not show an independent association with the change of appendicular muscle mass after adjusting for other confounders (all P >0.1) Conclusions: The change of muscle mass is strongly associated with the change of hepatic steatosis, but not the change of fibrosis.

Traditionally, open surgery requires a lot of time for operation and recovery. The comparision with open surgery and endo surgery is getting popular due to economy, time and cosmetics. This technique can reduce operation and recovery time. Scars due to operation are minimized by using small holes. Popular devices for endo surgery have stick shape, and surgeons are watching the inner space of patient through video scope. For that, the vessel holding is essential process, and endo-clip should hold the vessel tightly and stay in the patient body for very long time. The endo clip applier has the stick shape which can operate the endo clip. In order to improve performance of endo clip and applier, new technique and product was developed in this study, which provides 1) vessel clipping method by using elastic force of clip 2) moving method of clip forwarding and 3) counting method for remaining clip.

1T DRAM with Raised SiGe Quantum Well for Sensing Margin Improvement

Si-Won Lee,Seongjae Cho,Il Hwan Cho,Garam Kim 대한전자공학회 2023 Journal of semiconductor technology and science Vol.23 No.1

In this paper, a novel one-transistor dynamic random-access memory (1T DRAM) with a raised SiGe quantum well (QW) under one gate in the double-gate (DG) structure is proposed. The proposed structure can improve the poor performance of the retention time and sensing margin which is the problem of the conventional 1T DRAM. In write operation, the performance is improved through the band to band tunneling (BTBT) between body and drain and through valence band offset between SiGe and Si. Also by utilizing the physical barrier of oxide, read “1” retention time can be increased. The fabrication process is also proposed.
