| ○ | ○ | Article | Improving Bleachability of Thermomechanical Pulp by Ozone-Hydrogen Peroxide System | Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) was bleached with an ozone-hydrogen peroxide system, with the addition of hydrogen peroxide and ethylene glycol to enhance bleaching efficacy. The ISO brightness of TMP increased proportionally with higher concentrations of hydrogen peroxide across all sequences. Notably, TMP treated with the ozone and hydrogen comparable to those of TMP bleached with hydrogen peroxide alone. However, the addition of hydrogen peroxide during the Z stage of the pZP sequence resulted in a 2.4% increase in ISO brightness and enhanced lignin solubility. A brief alkaline extraction step in the pZEP sequence led to a significant 4.3% increase in ISO brightness, though this improvement was accompanied by a yield loss due to removal of lignin in the E stage. Furthermore, the addition of polyethylene glycol alleviated yield loss by enhancing the selectivity of ozone bleaching, while effectively maintaining a stable ISO brightness. | Lee, Ho Sang; Kim, Kang-Jae; Seo, Jin-Ho | Natl Inst Forest Sci, Div Global Forestry, Seoul 02455, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Forestry Sci & Landscape Architecture, Wood Sci & Technol, Daegu, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Agr Sci & Technol Res Inst, Daegu, South Korea; Kangwon Natl Univ, Dept Paper Mat Sci & Engn, Div Forest Mat Sci & Engn, Chuncheon Si 24341, South Korea | Kim, Kang-Jae/K-3915-2019 | 58816432900; 35733947500; 57874579500 | jaeya0624@knu.ac.kr; seojh97@kangwon.ac.kr; | BIORESOURCES | BIORESOURCES | 1930-2126 | 20 | 1 | SCIE | MATERIALS SCIENCE, PAPER & WOOD | 2024 | 1.6 | 35.4 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | Ozone; Hydrogen peroxide; Thermomechanical pulp; Polyethylene glycol; Brightness; Yield | DELIGNIFICATION; CTMP | Brightness; Hydrogen peroxide; Ozone; Polyethylene glycol; Thermomechanical pulp; Yield | Alkali Extraction; Bleachability; Cleaning; Diffuse Reflection; Ozone Bleaching; Yield; Cleaning; Laser beams; Polyethylenes; Thermomechanical pulp; Thermomechanical pulping process; A-stable; Alkaline extraction; Bleachability; Bleaching efficacy; ISO brightness; Ozone bleaching; Ozone/hydrogen peroxides; Thermo-mechanical; Yield; Yield loss; Bleaching | English | 2025 | 2025-02 | 10.15376/biores.20.1.923-933 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Editorial Material | Transition from Formaldehyde-Based Wood Adhesives to Bio-Based Alternatives | Bio-based wood adhesives are increasingly receiving greater attention than those of synthetic formaldehyde-based adhesives from petroleum sources in response to climate change. In this respect, this editorial provides an overview on the transition of formaldehyde-based adhesives to bio-based adhesives for the bonding of wood. This transition is underway in academia and industry for practical applications. Bio-based adhesives offer low toxicity, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and increased sustainability with circular economy by promoting renewable and degradable sources, which generates a driving force for the transition. | Ghahri, Saman; Yang, Long; Du, Guanben; Park, Byung-Dae | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Wood & Paper Sci, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Southwest Forestry Univ, Coll Mat Sci & Chem Engn, Kunming 650224, Yunnan, Peoples R China | Ghahri, Saman/J-6213-2019; Park, Byung-Dae/ABB-1934-2020 | 53063443000; 55565835600; 12781191100; 7402834820 | byungdae@knu.ac.kr; | BIORESOURCES | BIORESOURCES | 1930-2126 | 20 | 2 | SCIE | MATERIALS SCIENCE, PAPER & WOOD | 2024 | 1.6 | 35.4 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 1 | 1 | Formaldehyde-based adhesives; Biomaterials; Bio-based adhesives; Sustainability | Bio-based adhesives; Biomaterials; Formaldehyde-based adhesives; Sustainability | English | 2025 | 2025-05 | 10.15376/biores.20.2.2476-2479 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Extreme Precipitation Dynamics and El Niño-Southern Oscillation Influences in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal | Understanding historical climatic extremes and variability is crucial for effective climate change adaptation, particularly for urban flood management in developing countries. This study investigates historical precipitation trends in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal, focusing on precipitation frequency, intensity, and the influence of the El Ni & ntilde;o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), using extreme precipitation indices and the precipitation concentration index (PCI). The results reveal sharply fluctuating short-term precipitation from 1980 to 2022, with the exception of an increasing trend during spring (1.17 mm/year) and a decreasing trend in November and December. Trends in extreme precipitation indices are mixed: RX7day shows an increasing trend of 0.1 mm/year, with decadal analysis (1980-2001 and 2002-2022) indicating similar upward patterns. In contrast, RX1day, RX3day, RX5day, and R95pTOT exhibit inconsistent trends, while R99pTOT demonstrates a decreasing trend over the full period (1980-2022). Although the number of days with precipitation >= 35 mm has declined, the increasing trend in 7-day maximum precipitation, coupled with no significant change in total annual precipitation and highly variable short-term rainfall, points to a rising risk of unexpected extreme precipitation events. Precipitation patterns in the Kathmandu Valley remain highly irregular across seasons, except during summer. ENSO exhibits a negative correlation with annual precipitation, extreme precipitation indices, and the PCI but shows a positive correlation with the annual and summer PCI as well as 1-day maximum precipitation, emphasizing its significant influence on precipitation variability. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted climate adaptation strategies and provide valuable insights for hydrologists, meteorologists, policymakers, and urban planners to enhance climate resilience and improve flood management in the Kathmandu Valley. | Chaulagain, Deepak; Ray, Ram Lakhan; Yakub, Abdulfati Olatunji; Same, Noel Ngando; Park, Jaebum; Tangoh, Anthony Fon; Roh, Jong Wook; Suh, Dongjun; Lim, Jeong-Ok; Huh, Jeung-Soo | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Convergence & Fus Syst Engn, Grad Sch, Sangju 37224, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Inst Global Climate Change & Energy, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Prairie View A&M Univ, Cooperat Agr Res Ctr, Coll Agr Food & Nat Resources, Prairie View, TX 77446 USA; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Nano & Adv Mat Sci & Engn, Sangju 37224, South Korea | Ray, Ram/L-1286-2015; Ray, Ram L/L-1286-2015 | 57208742538; 22433611700; 57894905100; 57895613600; 57237034300; 59365111100; 25638796100; 36613529600; 59702737400; 7102258915 | chaulagaindeepu11@gmail.com; raray@pvamu.edu; yakubabdulfatail@gmail.com; samenoel1@gmail.com; woqja133@naver.com; fontangoh@gmail.com; jw.roh@knu.ac.kr; dongjunsuh@knu.ac.kr; jolim@knu.ac.kr; jshuh@knu.ac.kr; | WATER | WATER-SUI | 2073-4441 | 17 | 9 | SCIE | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES;WATER RESOURCES | 2024 | 3 | 35.5 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | 0 | climate change; extreme events; flood disaster; Kathmandu; precipitation indices; precipitation concentration index; Nepal | NINO-SOUTHERN-OSCILLATION; MOUNTAIN RIVER-BASINS; CONCENTRATION INDEX; RAINFALL; TRENDS; TEMPERATURE; SLOPES | climate change; extreme events; flood disaster; Kathmandu; Nepal; precipitation concentration index; precipitation indices | Kathmandu Valley; Nepal; Drought; Rain; Snow; Annual precipitation; Concentration indices; El Nino southern oscillation; Extreme events; Extreme precipitation; Flood disaster; Kathmandu; Nepal; Precipitation concentration index; Precipitation indices; climate change; correlation; disaster management; El Nino-Southern Oscillation; extreme event; flood control; precipitation intensity; summer; Global warming | English | 2025 | 2025-05-06 | 10.3390/w17091397 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Geospatial Assessment of Stormwater Harvesting Potential in Uganda's Cattle Corridor | Freshwater scarcity remains a pressing global issue, exacerbated by inefficiencies in stormwater management during rainy seasons. Strategic stormwater harvesting offers a sustainable solution through runoff utilization for irrigation and livestock support. However, challenges such as limited farmer knowledge, difficult terrain, financial constraints, unpredictable weather, and scarce meteorological data hinder the accuracy of optimum stormwater harvesting sites. This study employs a GIS-based SCS-CN hydrological approach to address these issues, identifying suitable stormwater harvesting locations, estimating runoff volumes, and recommending site-specific storage structures. Using spatial datasets of daily rainfall (20 years), land use/land cover (LULC), digital elevation models (DEM), and soil data, the study evaluated 80 watersheds in Uganda's cattle corridor. Annual runoff estimates within watersheds ranged from 62 million to 557 million m3, with 56 watersheds (70%) identified for multiple interventions such as farm ponds, check dams, and gully plugs. These structures are designed to enhance stormwater harvesting and utilization, improving water availability for livestock and crop production in a region characterized by water scarcity and erratic rainfall. The findings provide practical solutions for sustainable water management in drought-prone areas with limited meteorological data. This approach can be scaled to similar regions to enhance resilience in water-scarce landscapes. By offering actionable insights, this research supports farmers and water authorities in effectively allocating stormwater resources and implementing tailored harvesting strategies to bolster agriculture and livestock production in Uganda's cattle corridor. | Ssekyanzi, Geoffrey; Ahmad, Mirza Junaid; Choi, Kyung-Sook | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Food Secur & Agr Dev, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Rakai Dist Local Govt, Dept Prod, POB 21, Kyotera, Uganda; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Agr Civil Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Inst Agr Sci & Technol, Daegu 41566, South Korea | Ahmad, Mirza/AAD-5982-2020 | 59326631600; 57201479907; 54392662900 | sskyanzigeoffrey11@gmail.com; agri.junaid1205@gmail.com; ks.choi@knu.ac.kr; | WATER | WATER-SUI | 2073-4441 | 17 | 3 | SCIE | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES;WATER RESOURCES | 2024 | 3 | 35.5 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | stormwater harvesting; GIS; spatial data; SCS-CN; and Uganda's cattle corridor | SITES; IDENTIFICATION; METHODOLOGY | and Uganda’s cattle corridor; GIS; SCS-CN; spatial data; stormwater harvesting | Uganda; Fertilizers; Rain; Runoff; And uganda’s cattle corridor; Cattles; Freshwater scarcity; Geo-spatial; Livestock production; Meteorological data; Pressung; SCS-CN; Spatial data; Stormwater harvesting; cattle; GIS; harvesting; spatial data; stormwater; water availability; water management; Storm sewers | English | 2025 | 2025-02 | 10.3390/w17030349 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Impact of Climate Change on Wheat Production in Algeria and Optimization of Irrigation Scheduling for Drought Periods | This study investigates the impact of climate variability on wheat production in Algeria's semi-arid interior plains from 2014 to 2024, aiming to curb the challenges of rainfed wheat cultivation, optimize irrigation, and improve water productivity. The Soil-Water-Atmosphere-Plant (SWAP) model-driven approach refined irrigation scheduling to mitigate climate-induced losses and improve resource efficiency. Using historical climate data, soil properties, and wheat growth observations from the experimental farm of the Technical Institute for Field Crops, the SWAP model was calibrated and validated using one-factor-at-a-time sensitivity analysis, achieving a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.93 and a Normalized Root Mean Squared Error (NRMSE) of 17.75. Two drought-based irrigation indices, Soil Moisture Drought Index (SMDI) and Crop Water Stress Index (CWSI), guided adaptive irrigation strategies, showing a significant reduction in crop failure during drought periods. Results revealed a strong link between rainfall variability and wheat yield. Adopting a 9-day irrigation interval could increase water productivity to 18.91 kg ha-1 mm-1, enhancing yield stability under varying climatic conditions. The SMDI approach maintained soil moisture during extreme drought, while CWSI optimized water use in normal and wet years. This study integrates SMDI and CWSI into a validated irrigation framework, offering data-driven strategies to enhance wheat production resilience. Findings support sustainable water management and provide practical insights for policymakers and farmers to refine irrigation planning and climate adaptation, contributing to long-term agricultural sustainability. | Ouzani, Youssouf; Hiouani, Fatima; Ahmad, Mirza Junaid; Choi, Kyung-Sook | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Food Secur & Agr Dev, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Univ Mohamed KHIDER, Lab Promot Agr Arid Reg, Biskra 07000, Algeria; Tech Inst Field Crops TIFC, 01 St Pasteur Hassen Badi, El Harrach 16200, Algeria; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Agr Civil Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea | Ahmad, Mirza/AAD-5982-2020 | 59938986000; 36858505700; 57201479907; 54392662900 | youssouf.ouzani@univ-biskra.dz; fatima.hiouani@univ-biskra.dz; agri.junaid1205@gmail.com; ks.choi@knu.ac.kr; | WATER | WATER-SUI | 2073-4441 | 17 | 11 | SCIE | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES;WATER RESOURCES | 2024 | 3 | 35.5 | N/A | 0 | 0 | climate change; wheat production; irrigation scheduling; water productivity; SWAP model | INCREASING WATER PRODUCTIVITY; AGRO-HYDROLOGICAL MODEL; NORTH CHINA PLAIN; SWAP MODEL; CROP PRODUCTION; HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY; PEDOTRANSFER FUNCTIONS; YIELD; MANAGEMENT; OPPORTUNITIES | climate change; irrigation scheduling; SWAP model; water productivity; wheat production | Algeria; Fruits; Irrigation; Orchards; Seed; Vegetables; %moisture; Algeria; Crop water stress indices; Drought periods; Irrigation scheduling; Plant model; Soil water atmosphere plants; Soil–water–atmosphere–plant model; Water productivity; Wheat production; agricultural management; climate change; crop production; crop yield; drought; growth rate; irrigation system; rainfall; soil moisture; water management; water use; wheat; Global warming | English | 2025 | 2025-05-29 | 10.3390/w17111658 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Light-Blocking Nanofiber Membranes Facilitating Physiologically Relevant In Situ Transmigration Assay | Nanofiber (NF) membranes have demonstrated considerable potential in cellular transmigration studies due to their resemblance to the biophysical properties of basement membranes, enabling cellular behaviors that closely mimic those observed in vivo. Despite their advantages, conventional NF membranes often encounter issues in transmigration assays due to their transparency, which leads to overlapping fluorescent signals from transmigrated and nontransmigrated cells. This overlap complicates the clear differentiation between these cell populations, making the quantitative evaluation of live-cell transmigration challenging. To address this issue, we developed a light-blocking nanofiber (LB-NF) membrane by incorporating carbon black into polycaprolactone NFs. This LB-NF membrane is designed not only to mimic the biophysical properties of the basement membrane but also to enable in situ analysis of transmigrated cells through its light-blocking properties. Our study demonstrated the effectiveness of the LB-NF membrane in a transmigration assay using human brain cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (HBEC-5i), enabling physiologically relevant cell transmigration while significantly enhancing the accuracy of in situ fluorescence detection. Furthermore, drug testing within a choroidal neovascularization model using the LB-NF membrane underscores its utility and potential impact on pharmaceutical development, particularly for diseases involving abnormal cell transmigration. Therefore, the developed LB-NF membrane represents a valuable tool for the precise assessment of in situ cellular transmigration and holds significant promise for advancing drug screening and therapeutic development. | Kim, Dohui; Yi, Soojin; Park, Byeong-ung; Eom, Seongsu; Kang, Sinsung; Kim, Dong Sung; Kim, Hong Kyun | Pohang Univ Sci & Technol POSTECH, Dept Mech Engn, Pohang 37763, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Cell & Matrix Res Inst, Sch Med, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Ophthalmol, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Biomed Sci, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Pohang Univ Sci & Technol POSTECH, Dept Chem Engn, Pohang 37673, South Korea; Pohang Univ Sci & Technol POSTECH, Sch Interdisciplinary Biosci & Bioengn, Pohang 37673, South Korea; Yonsei Univ, Inst Convergence Res & Educ Adv Technol, Seoul 03722, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ Hosp KNUH, Dept Ophthalmol, Daegu 41944, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ Hosp KNUH, Biomed Res Inst, Daegu 41940, South Korea | Kim, Dong-Seong/AAI-9774-2021; Kim, Hong Kyun/ITT-7758-2023 | 57210428781; 56783537100; 57204502387; 57193490953; 59564661300; 55742938500; 57218260940 | smkds@postech.ac.kr; okeye@knu.ac.kr; | ACS BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE & ENGINEERING | ACS BIOMATER SCI ENG | 2373-9878 | 11 | 3 | SCIE | MATERIALS SCIENCE, BIOMATERIALS | 2024 | 5.5 | 35.5 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 1 | 1 | nanofiber membrane; light-blocking membrane; transmigration assay; In situ fluorescence detection | BLOOD-BRAIN-BARRIER; BASEMENT-MEMBRANE; CELL-MIGRATION; PROTEIN ZO-1; ADHESION; RAT | In situ fluorescence detection; light-blocking membrane; nanofiber membrane; transmigration assay | Animals; Basement Membrane; Cell Line; Cell Movement; Endothelial Cells; Humans; Light; Membranes, Artificial; Nanofibers; Polyesters; Brain; Cell membranes; Drug delivery; Physiological models; carbon; nanofiber; polycaprolactone; polyester; Basement membrane; Biophysical properties; Blockings; Cellular behaviors; Cellulars; Fluorescence detection; In situ fluorescence detection; Light-blocking membrane; Nanofiber membrane; Transmigration assay; adult; Article; basement membrane; capillary endothelial cell; controlled study; drug screening; HBEC cell line (brain); human; human cell; membrane; subretinal neovascularization; transcellular cell migration; animal; artificial membrane; cell line; cell motion; chemistry; drug effect; endothelium cell; light; metabolism; Endothelial cells | English | 2025 | 2025-02-20 | 10.1021/acsbiomaterials.4c02096 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Rapid Urban Flood Detection Using PlanetScope Imagery and Thresholding Methods | With advances in optical satellite remote sensing, urban flood mapping (UFM) leveraging water's distinct spectral characteristics for water identification is preferred and has gained more attention. PlanetScope's daily 3 m resolution imagery enables detailed and time-sensitive flood monitoring. Unlike machine learning, which requires extensive training data, thresholding methods offer a faster and more adaptable solution for binary classification. Three global (Yen's, Otsu's, Isodata) and three local (Niblack, Sauvola, Gonzalez) thresholding methods, with their parameters optimized for each case study, were assessed in this study. Additionally, a hybrid approach was proposed and evaluated. In this approach, local thresholds are computed for each pixel, using the respective local thresholding method. Then, a global threshold is derived by calculating the simple arithmetic mean of all these local thresholds. This global threshold is subsequently applied across the entire image to perform a binary classification, distinguishing flooded from non-flooded areas. To enhance water detection, we also evaluated 26 remote sensing indices. Each was computed using two formulations-the normalized difference and the ratio-where at least one of the eight PlanetScope bands was NIR or RedEdge to enhance water detection. We tested this methodology on three flooding events with different water coverage scenarios in Brazil (34% water coverage), the USA (11%), and Australia (21%). The model performance was validated using the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) and the Fowlkes-Mallows index (FMI). The results demonstrated that combining PlanetScope imagery with carefully selected remote sensing indices and thresholding techniques enhances efficient UFM. The hybrid methods outperformed the others by capturing local variations while maintaining global consistency, with the MCC and the FMI exceeding 0.9. The indices incorporating NIR and RedEdge, particularly NDRE, achieved the highest accuracy. However, each flood event was best classified by a different combination of method and index, indicating that it is important to carefully select the appropriate remote sensing indices and thresholding techniques for each specific case. This framework provides a fast, effective solution for UFM, adaptable to diverse urban environments and flood conditions. | Van, Linh Nguyen; Nguyen, Giang V.; Kim, Younghun; Do, May T.

| ○ | ○ | Article | Trends and Determinants of Virtual Water Trade and Water Resource Utilization in Ghanaian Vegetable Production | Water plays a critical role in ensuring sustainable food security, particularly in the face of increasing freshwater scarcity and climate variability. This study examines virtual water use and virtual water trade in Ghana's vegetable production sector over a 30-year period (1994-2023), focusing on four key crops: tomato, pepper, onion, and eggplant. Using secondary data on production volumes, trade flows, and virtual water content, the research quantifies imported and exported virtual water volumes and assesses net virtual water trends. The results reveal a substantial increase in virtual water use for most crops, with the exception of pepper, which experienced a marked decline. Onion and tomato are identified as the dominant contributors to both imports and exports of virtual water, while pepper and eggplant play relatively minor roles. The study finds that Ghana is a net importer of virtual water in vegetable trade, emphasizing the need for integrated water resource management to balance agricultural growth with water sustainability. A gravity model analysis was applied to identify the primary determinants of virtual water trade, revealing that GDP per capita, population size, distance, land availability, virtual water use, and border-sharing significantly influence trade patterns. The findings suggest that enhancing domestic production capacity and promoting efficient water use practices can reduce Ghana's reliance on imports and improve resilience against water-related risks. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners aiming to develop sustainable water and food systems in Ghana and similar contexts. | Ampong, Emmanuel Adutwum; Tette, Alexander Sessi Kosi; Choi, Kyung-Sook | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Food Secur & Agr Dev, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Minist Food & Agr, Ohawu Agr Coll, Dept Agr Engn, POB 28, Abor, Volta, Ghana; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Dept Agr Civil Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea | 57210110260; 59252207800; 54392662900 | aeampong@yahoo.com; alexandertette@gmail.com; ks.choi@knu.ac.kr; | WATER | WATER-SUI | 2073-4441 | 17 | 11 | SCIE | ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES;WATER RESOURCES | 2024 | 3 | 35.5 | N/A | 0 | 0 | water footprint; virtual water trade; gravity model; vegetables; Ghana | INTERNATIONAL-TRADE; CROP PRODUCTION; GRAVITY MODEL; FOOTPRINT; FLOWS; SCARCITY | Ghana; gravity model; vegetables; virtual water trade; water footprint | Ghana; Fruits; Resource allocation; Water content; Food security; Ghana; Gravity modeling; Vegetable productions; Virtual water; Virtual water trade; Water footprint; Water resource utilization; Water use; Water-water; Gross Domestic Product; trade; vegetable; water footprint; water management; water resource; water use; Vegetables | English | 2025 | 2025-06-03 | 10.3390/w17111689 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Enhanced p-type GaN Ohmic contacts through strategic metal schemes and annealing | To enhance the efficiency and performance of p-type GaN-based power devices (diode, MOSFET) and p-channel transistors (p-FET), forming an Ohmic contact with low specific contact resistance (rho(c)) at p-GaN can be an effective way. However, the specific contact resistance values of p-GaN remain limited to the range of mid-10(-2) Omega cm(2) due to the low activation ratio of Mg dopants and high work function. Here, we propose an Ohmic contact method using a Pd-based metal stack to achieve lower specific contact resistance compared to conventional p-GaN contact metals such as Ni/Au or Pt/Au. A low specific contact resistance of 1.08 x 10(-5) Omega cm(2) was demonstrated for p-GaN by annealing a Pd-based tri-layer metal contact in an oxygen-rich ambient with an optimized Pd thickness. The mechanism driving this low specific contact resistance was investigated using secondary ion mass spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicated the mutual diffusion of Ni, Pd, and Ga atoms within the metal alloy. A NiO layer was formed on the top of the metal alloy, and Pd-Ga compounds were formed at the metal/p-GaN interface through mutual diffusion of atoms. This process increased the number of Ga vacancies in p-GaN, playing a crucial role in reducing its contact resistance. | Kim, Donghan; Moon, Soo-Young; Bae, Sung-Bum; Kwak, Hyeon-Tak; Park, Hongsik; Lee, Hyung-Seok | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Elect & Elect Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Elect & Telecommun Res Inst, Daejeon 34129, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Elect Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea | 57218106033; 59553369900; 7202714622; 59553786400; 35366976200; 13806131400 | hpark@ee.knu.ac.kr; hyungseok@etri.re.kr; | APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS | APPL PHYS LETT | 0003-6951 | 1077-3118 | 126 | 12 | SCIE | PHYSICS, APPLIED | 2024 | 3.6 | 35.6 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 1 | 1 | OXIDIZED NI/AU; LOW-RESISTANCE; OXYGEN; POWER; TECHNOLOGIES; ACTIVATION; MECHANISM | Gallium alloys; Gallium nitride; Gold alloys; Indium phosphide; Iron alloys; Magnesium alloys; Mercury amalgams; Nickel alloys; Palladium; Palladium alloys; Palladium compounds; Platinum alloys; Power MOSFET; Efficiency and performance; GaN based; Metal alloys; MOSFET channels; Mutual diffusion; P-type; Pd-based; Power devices; Specific contact resistances; Strategic metals; X ray photoelectron spectroscopy | English | 2025 | 2025-03 | 10.1063/5.0249410 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | ||||
| ○ | ○ | Article | Unraveling the role of post-annealing in IGZO transistor for memory applications | We demonstrate that post-annealing techniques are important for achieving the transfer characteristics of indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) transistors and identify that their role depends on the sputter-deposited IGZO film conditions. The as-fabricated transistor with a thin IGZO channel, HfO2 gate dielectric, and Mo gate electrode exhibits a constant drain current (IDS) over gate voltage (VGS). Although the oxygen (O2) plasma gas rate is adjusted from 0.2 to 1 sccm with an argon gas rate of 30 sccm during IGZO deposition, the IDS level was reduced by a factor of 104. Notably, VGS-controlled transfer behavior of the transistors only starts after post-annealing is performed at temperatures above 300 degrees C, regardless of which IGZO channel properties are used. More specifically, since oxygen vacancies (VOs) serve as carriers in the IGZO, annealing in different O2 gas or air environments to generate or reduce the number of VOs is found to be optimal for the VO-rich or VO-poor channels, respectively. In this study, we reveal that oxidation annealing appears to be a more effective way for achieving improved gate controllability (e.g., subthreshold swing). Accordingly, we further analyze how the VOs in the IGZO are involved in switching by examining the effect of annealing temperature and gate dielectric materials on the transfer curve. These results indicate that VOs in the bulk need to be annihilated to lower the off-state IDS, while a sufficient number of VOs near the channel and gate dielectric interface should be ensured to responded by VGS for rapid switching. | Kim, Nayeon; Jeong, Jiae; Lee, Jae Woo; Woo, Jiyong | Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Elect & Elect Engn, Daegu 41566, South Korea; Korea Univ, Dept Elect & Informat Engn, Sejong 30019, South Korea | 59884547500; 58963433800; 55671230600; 53985749100 | jiyong.woo@knu.ac.kr; | MICROELECTRONIC ENGINEERING | MICROELECTRON ENG | 0167-9317 | 1873-5568 | 298 | SCIE | ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC;NANOSCIENCE & NANOTECHNOLOGY;OPTICS;PHYSICS, APPLIED | 2024 | 3.1 | 35.6 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | IGZO; Transistor | FILM; INTEGRATION | IGZO; Transistor | Gallium compounds; Hafnium oxides; Hard facing; Indium compounds; Thin film transistors; Annealing techniques; Condition; Gallium zinc oxides; Gas rates; Indium‑gallium‑zinc oxide; Memory applications; Oxide transistors; Postannealing; Transfer characteristics; Zinc oxide film; Gate dielectrics | English | 2025 | 2025-06-01 | 10.1016/j.mee.2025.112322 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |||

| ○ | ○ | Article | Korean Registry on the Current Management of Helicobacter pylori (K-Hp-Reg): Interim Analysis of Adherence to the Revised Evidence-Based Guidelines for First-Line Treatment | Background/Aims: The Korean guidelines for Helicobacter pylori treatment were revised in 2020, how-ever, the extent of adherence to these guidelines in clinical practice remains unclear. Herein, we initiated a prospective, nationwide, multicenter registry study in 2021 to evaluate the current management of H. pylori infection in Korea. Methods: This interim report describes the adherence to the revised guidelines and their impact on first-line eradication rates. Data on patient demographics, diagnoses, treatments, and eradication outcomes were collected using a web-based electronic case report form. Results: A total of 7,261 patients from 66 hospitals who received first-line treatment were analyzed. The modified intention-to-treat eradication rate for first-line treatment was 81.0%, with 80.4% of the pre-scriptions adhering to the revised guidelines. The most commonly prescribed regimen was the 14-day clarithromycin-based triple therapy (CTT; 42.0%), followed by tailored therapy (TT; 21.2%), 7-day CTT (14.1%), and 10-day concomitant therapy (CT; 10.1%). Time-trend analysis demonstrated significant in-creases in guideline adherence and the use of 10-day CT and TT, along with a decrease in the use of 7-day CTT (all p<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that guideline adherence was significantly associated with first-line eradication success (odds ratio, 2.03; 95% confidence interval, 1.61 to 2.56; p<0.001). Conclusions: The revised guidelines for the treatment of H. pylori infection have been increasingly ad-opted in routine clinical practice in Korea, which may have contributed to improved first-line eradication rates. Notably, the 14-day CTT, 10-day CT, and TT regimens are emerging as the preferred first-line treatment options among Korean physicians | Yang, Hyo-Joon; Kim, Joon Sung; Ahn, Ji Yong; Lee, Ok-Jae; Ha Kim, Gwang; Bang, Chang Seok; Park, Moo In; Park, Jae Yong; Kim, Sun Moon; Hong, Su Jin; Cho, Joon Hyun; Kim, Shin Hee; Song, Hyun Joo; Cho, Jin Woong; Jee, Sam Ryong; Lim, Hyun; Kwon, Yong Hwan; Lee, Ju Yup; Jeon, Seong Woo; Park, Seon-Young; Choe, Younghee; Joo, Moon Kyung; Kim, Dae-Hyun; Park, Jae Myung; Kim, Beom Jin; Lee, Jong Yeul; Oh, Tae Hoon; Kim, Jae Gyu | Sungkyunkwan Univ, Kangbuk Samsung Hosp, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med,Div Gastroenterol, Seoul, South Korea; Sungkyunkwan Univ, Kangbuk Samsung Hosp, Gastrointestinal Canc Ctr, Sch Med, Seoul, South Korea; Catholic Univ Korea, Incheon St Marys Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea; Univ Ulsan, Asan Med Ctr, Coll Med, Dept Gastroenterol, Seoul, South Korea; Gyeongsang Natl Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Jinju, South Korea; Gyeongsang Natl Univ, Inst Med Sci, Jinju, South Korea; Pusan Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Pusan, South Korea; Pusan Natl Univ Hosp, Biomed Res Inst, Busan, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Chunchon, South Korea; Kosin Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Busan, South Korea; Chung Ang Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Div Gastroenterol, Seoul, South Korea; Konyang Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Daejeon, South Korea; Soonchunhyang Univ, Digest Dis Ctr & Res Inst, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Bucheon, South Korea; Yeungnam Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Div Gastroenterol & Hepatol, Daegu, South Korea; Jeju Natl Univ, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Jeju, South Korea; Presbyterian Med Ctr, Dept Internal Med, Jeonju, South Korea; Inje Univ, Busan Paik Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Busan, South Korea; Hallym Univ, Sacred Heart Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Gastroenterol, Anyang, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Sch Med, Dept Internal Med, Daegu, South Korea; Chonnam Natl Univ, Med Sch, Dept Internal Med, Gwangju, South Korea; Korea Univ, Guro Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med,Div Gastroenterol, Seoul, South Korea; Ulsan Comft Gastroenterol Clin, Ulsan, South Korea; Catholic Univ Korea, Seoul St Marys Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea; Natl Canc Ctr, Ctr Gastr Canc, Goyang, South Korea; Vievis Namuh Hosp, Dept Internal Med, Seoul, South Korea | ; Park, Jae Yong/ISS-5916-2023; Kim, Gwang Ha/ABF-3932-2021; Ahn, Ji Yong/AGO-1695-2022 | 57188930761; 25932931200; 59648050300; 59903079500; 59682778300; 59903053000; 59735672400; 57206478628; 59903047200; 8613692000; 59903041600; 59903073600; 59767373500; 53163643000; 59735923700; 55616390700; 55775556800; 59903059200; 59903067300; 59903047300; 57158771000; 35313509000; 59903053100; 59716203100; 59903059300; 59903059400; 59879353100; 59903059500 | jgkim@cau.ac.kr; | GUT AND LIVER | GUT LIVER | 1976-2283 | 2005-1212 | 19 | 3 | SCIE | GASTROENTEROLOGY & HEPATOLOGY | 2024 | 3.2 | 35.7 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | 0 | Helicobacter pylori; Anti-bacterial agents; Drug resistance; bacterial; Registries; Guideline adherence | STANDARD TRIPLE THERAPY; INFECTION; ERADICATION; METAANALYSIS; DIAGNOSIS | Anti-bacterial agents; Drug resistance, bacterial; Guideline adherence; Helicobacter pylori; Registries | Adult; Aged; Anti-Bacterial Agents; Clarithromycin; Drug Therapy, Combination; Female; Guideline Adherence; Helicobacter Infections; Helicobacter pylori; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Practice Guidelines as Topic; Prospective Studies; Proton Pump Inhibitors; Registries; Republic of Korea; amoxicillin; bismuth derivative; clarithromycin; levofloxacin; metronidazole; proton pump inhibitor; tetracycline; antiinfective agent; clarithromycin; adult; Article; clinical practice; demographics; diagnostic procedure; disease eradication; evidence based medicine; female; first-line treatment; general practitioner; Helicobacter infection; human; intention to treat analysis; Korean (people); major clinical study; male; middle aged; multicenter study; prescription; prospective study; protocol compliance; South Korea; treatment duration; treatment outcome; aged; clinical trial; combination drug therapy; drug effect; drug therapy; Helicobacter infection; Helicobacter pylori; practice guideline; register | English | 2025 | 2025-05 | 10.5009/gnl240489 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |
| ○ | ○ | Article | Stress Accelerates Depressive-Like Behavior through Increase of SPNS2 Expression in Tg2576 Mice | To investigate the relationship between depression and AD, water avoidance stress (WAS) was induced for 10 days in both Tg2576 mice and wild-type (WT) mice. After WAS, memory function and depressive-like behavior were investigated in Tg2576 mice. Tg2576 WAS mice exhibited more depressive-like behaviors than WT WAS and Tg2576 control (CON) mice. Strikingly, Tg2576 CON mice showed more depressive-like behaviors than WT mice. Moreover, corticosterone and phospho-glucocorticoid receptor (p-GR) levels were also higher in Tg2576 WAS mice in comparison to Tg2576 CON mice. Spinster homologue 2 (SPNS2) is a member of non-ATP-dependent transporter. The role of SPNS2 was widely known as a sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) transporter, which export intracellular S1P from cells. Using GEO database to analyze SPNS2 gene expression changes in patients with AD and depression, we show that SPNS2 gene expression correlates with AD and depression. Interestingly, Tg2576 WAS mice displayed significantly increased levels of SPNS2 w1hen compared to Tg2576 CON counterparts. SPNS2 levels were also higher in Tg2576 CON mice in comparison with WT CON mice. Remarkably, we found a decrease in S1P brain levels and an increase in S1P serum levels of Tg2576 WAS mice in comparison with Tg2576 CON mice. Accordingly, WAS induced group further decreased S1P levels in the brains. However, the level in the serum further increased in comparison with non-induced group. Therefore, these results suggest that AD and depression could be associated, and that Tg2576 transgenic mice are more susceptible to stress-induced depression through the release of S1P by SPNS2 up-regulation. | Yoo, Seung Sik; Kim, Yuri; Lee, Dong Won; Ham, Hyeon Joo; Park, Jung Ho; Yeo, In Jun; Chang, Ju Young; Yun, Jaesuk; Son, Dong Ju; Han, Sang-Bae; Hong, Jin Tae | Chungbuk Natl Univ, Coll Pharm, Cheongju 28160, South Korea; Chungbuk Natl Univ, Med Res Ctr, Cheongju 28160, South Korea; KHIDI Korea Hlth Ind Dev Inst, Cheongju 28159, South Korea; Minist Food & Drug Safety MFDS, Cheongju 28159, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Daegu 41566, South Korea | Chang, Ju/J-5631-2012; Yoo, Seung Sik/HNS-1975-2023 | 57800260200; 57221435571; 56903251900; 57211892134; 59861403900; 57201941942; 57919827500; 15733177200; 59682973200; 59865064100; 59661025500 | jinthong@chungbuk.ac.kr; | BIOMOLECULES & THERAPEUTICS | BIOMOL THER | 1976-9148 | 2005-4483 | 33 | 3 | SCIE | PHARMACOLOGY & PHARMACY | 2024 | 3.2 | 35.7 | 0 | 2025-06-11 | 0 | 0 | Alzheimer's disease (AD); Depression; Tg2576; SPNS2; S1P | SPHINGOSINE 1-PHOSPHATE; ALZHEIMERS-DISEASE; TRANSPORTER SPNS2; MAJOR DEPRESSION; HPA AXIS; BRAIN; SPHINGOSINE-1-PHOSPHATE; DEMENTIA; SYSTEM; LYMPH | Alzheimer’s disease (AD); Depression; S1P; SPNS2; Tg2576 | adenine nucleotide translocase; corticosterone; spinster homologue 2; unclassified drug; Alzheimer disease; animal experiment; animal model; animal tissue; Article; behavior; circadian rhythm; controlled study; depression; enzyme linked immunosorbent assay; forced swim test; gene expression; gene ontology; genotype; hippocampus; immunohistochemistry; induced pluripotent stem cell; inflammation; major depression; microglia; Morris water maze test; mouse; nerve cell plasticity; nervous system development; nonhuman; open field test; passive avoidance test; physiological stress; prediction; protein expression; protein phosphorylation; randomized controlled trial; real time polymerase chain reaction; spatial memory; sucrose preference test; tail suspension test; Tg2576 mouse; upregulation; Western blotting | English | 2025 | 2025-05 | 10.4062/biomolther.2024.200 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | |

| ○ | ○ | Article | Association of antinuclear antibody positivity with liver disease severity in pediatric metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease | Background: Although antinuclear antibody (ANA) is frequently observed in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), its clinical significance in children remains unclear and controversial. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of ANA positivity and the factors associated with it in pediatric MASLD patients without concurrent autoimmune hepatitis. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients aged 4-18 years diagnosed with MASLD and tested for ANA from January 2015 to December 2020 at 10 hospitals in Korea. All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS 26.0 and P-values 0.893 could predict ANA, with sensitivity and specificity of 42.7% and 72.9%, respectively. Conclusions: ANA positivity in pediatric MASLD is associated with greater liver enzyme elevation and increased risk of fibrosis, highlighting the need for careful monitoring in ANA-positive patients. | Kim, Hyun Jin; Kim, Ju Young; Lee, Yoo Min; Hong, Yong Hee; Kang, Ben; Choe, Byung-Ho; Yi, Dae Yong; Lee, Eun Hye; Kim, Soon Chul; Choi, You Jin; Jang, Hyo-Jeong; Choi, So Yoon | Chungnam Natl Univ, Chungnam Natl Univ Hosp, Dept Pediat, Coll Med, Daejeon, South Korea; Eulji Univ, Daejeon Eulji Med Ctr, Sch Med, Dept Pediat, Daejeon, South Korea; Soonchunhyang Univ, Coll Med, Dept Pediat, Bucheon Hosp, Bucheon, South Korea; Kyungpook Natl Univ, Sch Med, Dept Pediat, Daegu, South Korea; Chung Ang Univ, Coll Med, Dept Pediat, Chung Ang Univ Hosp, Seoul, South Korea; Eulji Univ, Sch Med, Nowon Eulji Med Ctr, Dept Pediat, Seoul, South Korea; Jeonbuk Natl Univ, Dept Pediat, Med Sch & Hosp, Jeonju, South Korea; Inje Univ, Ilsan Paik Hosp, Coll Med, Dept Pediat, Ilsan, South Korea; Keimyung Univ, Sch Med, Dept Pediat, Daegu, South Korea; Kosin Univ, Kosin Gospel Hosp, Dept Pediat, Gospel Hosp,Coll Med, Busan, South Korea | Yi, Dae/G-1729-2014; Choe, Byung-Ho/KSM-6251-2024 | 58975661600; 57202996384; 55588928200; 36623527300; 57194823199; 57574977300; 57190851975; 57188855950; 36087407700; 56063619400; 55355948500; 57207282105 | ks200546@kosinmed.or.kr; | FRONTIERS IN PEDIATRICS | FRONT PEDIATR | 2296-2360 | 13 | SCIE | PEDIATRICS | 2024 | 2 | 35.9 | 0 | 2025-05-07 | 0 | 0 | metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; antinuclear antibody; aspartate aminotransferase; alanine aminotransferase; pediatrics - children | ORGAN-SPECIFIC AUTOANTIBODIES; NONALCOHOLIC STEATOHEPATITIS; DIAGNOSIS; HEPATITIS; PREVALENCE; CIRRHOSIS; FIBROSIS; CHILDREN; INDEX; TESTS | alanine aminotransferase; antinuclear antibody; aspartate aminotransferase; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; pediatrics - children | alanine aminotransferase; antinuclear antibody; aspartate aminotransferase; Article; aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index; autoimmune hepatitis; child; cohort analysis; disease severity; female; human; Korea; liver disease; major clinical study; male; medical record review; metabolic fatty liver; pediatric patient; prevalence; receiver operating characteristic; retrospective study; school child; sensitivity and specificity | English | 2025 | 2025-02-26 | 10.3389/fped.2025.1527605 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 | 바로가기 |
