This paper is concerned with the strain characteristics of the time effect on the remoulded saturated day sampled from the downstream of the Yeongsan river, and the constitutive equation that can generally explain time-dependent behaviors of norma1ly consolidated clay. This paper examines whether or not the afore-said constitutive equation can be applied to the remoulded Mooan-clay. Throughout this study, the conclusions obtained are as follows. 1. Throughout the isotropic consolidation test for 7 days and the isotropic relaxation test, the existence of the static and dynamic yielding surfaces is confirmed respectively. 2. The characteristics of time effect of the deformation, namely, the existence of a unique stress-strain-time relation, is conformed from the experimental result on the Mooan-clay. 3. The prodictions of the stress path and the strain on the Cam-clay theory is not consistent with those observed during the experiments. 4. Constitutive equation(2-3-12) obtained by applying Cam-clay theory to Perzyna's elastic-viscoplasticity theory can explain the behavior of pore water pressure during isotropic stress relaxation, concerned with time dependency under undrained condition. The equation can also explain the results of the undrained triaxial compression test for the clay with different strain rate under the same or different consolidation history. 5. This constitutive equation has eight material parameters which can be determined from triaxial compression tests.

서론: 저 전력 소모를 필요로 하는 무선 센서 네트워크 관련 기술의 급격한 발달과 함께 자체 전력 수급을 위한 진동 에너지 수확 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 다양한 구조와 소재를 압전 외팔보에 적용하여 제안하고 있다. 그 중에서도 진동 기반의 에너지 수확 소자는 주변 환경에서 쉽게 진동을 얻을 수 있고, 높은 에너지 밀도와 제작 방법이 간단하다는 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 분야에 응용 및 적용 가능하다. 기존 연구에서는 2차원적으로 진동 에너지 수확을 위한 휜 구조의 압전 외팔보를 제안 하였다. 휜 구조를 갖는 압전 외팔보는 각각의 짧은 두 개의 평평한 외팔보가 일렬로 연결된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 하나의 짧고 평평한 외팔보는 진동이 가해지면 접선 방향으로 응력이 생겨 최대 휨 모멘텀을 갖게 된다. 그러므로 휜 구조를 갖는 외팔보는 진동이 인가됨에 따라 길이 방향과 수직 방향으로 진동한다. 하지만, 이 구조는 수평 방향으로 가해지는 진동에 대한 에너지를 수확하기에는 한계점을 가진다. 즉, 3축 방향에서 임의의 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확하기는 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 3축 방향에서 에너지를 효율적으로 수확할 수 있도록 헤어-셀 구조의 압전 외팔보 에너지 수확소자를 제안한다. 제안된 소자는 길이 방향과 수직 방향뿐만 아니라 수평 방향으로도 진동하여 임의의 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확할 수 있다. 구성 및 공정: 제안하는 소자는 3축 방향에서 임의의 진동을 수확하기 위해서 길이를 길게 늘이고 길이 방향을 따라 휘어지는 구조의 헤어-셀 구조로 제작하였다. 외팔보의 구조는 외팔보의 폭 대비 길이의 비가 충분히 클 때, 추가적인 자유도를 얻을 수 있다. 그러므로 헤어-셀 구조의 에너지 수확 소자는 기본적인 길이 방향, 수직방향 그리고 수평방향에 더불어 추가적으로 뒤틀리는 방향을 통해서 3차원적으로 임의의 주변 진동 에너지를 수확하여 전기적인 에너지로 생성시킬 수 있다. 제작된 소자는 높은 종횡비를 갖는 무게 추($500{\times}15{\times}22{\mu}m3$)와 길이 방향으로 길게 휜 압전 외팔보($1000{\times}15{\times}1.7{\mu}m3$)로 구성되어있다. 공정 과정은 다음과 같다. 먼저, 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 탄성층을 형성하기 위해 LPCVD SiNx를 $0.8{\mu}m$와 LTO $0.2{\mu}m$를 증착 후, 각각 $0.03{\mu}m$과 $0.12{\mu}m$의 두께를 갖는 Ti와 Pt을 하부 전극으로 스퍼터링한다. 그리고 Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 박막을 $0.35{\mu}m$ 두께로 졸겔법을 이용하여 증착하고 상부 Pt층을 두께 $0.1{\mu}m$로 순차적으로 스퍼터링하여 형성한다. 상/하부 전극은 ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma)를 이용해 건식 식각으로 패턴을 형성한다. PZT 층과 무게 추 사이의 보호막을 씌우기 위해 $0.2{\mu}m$의 Si3N4 박막이 PECVD 공정법으로 증착되고, RIE로 패턴을 형성된다. Ti/Au ($0.03/0.35{\mu}m$)이 E-beam으로 증착되고 lift-off를 통해서 패턴을 형성함으로써 전극 본딩을 위한 패드를 만든다. 초반에 형성한 실리콘 웨이퍼 위의 SiNx/LTO 층은 RIE로 외팔보 구조를 형성한다. 이후에 진행될 도금 공정을 위해서 희생층으로는 감광액이 사용되고, 씨드층으로는 Ti/Cu ($0.03/0.15{\mu}m$) 박막이 스퍼터링 된다. 도금 형성층을 위해 감광액을 패턴화하고, Ni0.8Fe0.2 ($22{\mu}m$)층으로 도금함으로써 외팔보 끝에 무게 추를 만든다. 마지막으로, 압전 외팔보 소자는 XeF2 식각법을 통해 제작된다. 제작된 소자는 소자의 여러 층 사이의 고유한 응력 차에 의해 휨 변형이 생긴다. 실험 방법 및 측정 결과: 제작된 소자의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 일정한 가속도 50 m/s2로 3축 방향에 따라 입력 주파수를 변화시키면서 출력 전압을 측정하였다. 먼저, 소자의 기본적인 공진 주파수를 얻기 위하여 수직 방향으로 진동을 인가하여 주파수를 변화시켰다. 그 때에 공진 주파수는 116 Hz를 가지며, 최대 출력 전압은 15 mV로 측정되었다. 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지 수확이 가능하다는 것을 확인하기 위하여 제작된 소자를 길이 방향과 수평 방향으로 가진기에 장착한 후, 기본 공진 주파수에서의 출력 전압을 측정하였다. 진동이 길이방향으로 가해졌을 때에는 33 mV, 수평방향으로 진동이 인가되는 경우에는 10 mV의 최대 출력 전압을 갖는다. 제안하는 소자가 수 mV의 적은 전압은 출력해내더라도 소자는 진동이 인가되는 각도에 영향 받지 않고, 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확하여 전기에너지로 얻을 수 있다. 결론: 제안된 소자는 3축 방향에서 진동 에너지를 수확할 수 있는 에너지 수확 소자를 제안하였다. 외팔보의 구조를 헤어-셀 구조로 길고 휘어지게 제작함으로써 기본적인 길이 방향, 수직방향 그리고 수평방향에 더불어 추가적으로 뒤틀리는 방향에서 출력 전압을 얻을 수 있다. 미소 전력원으로 실용적인 사용을 위해서 무게추가 더 무거워지고, PZT 박막이 더 두꺼워진다면 소자의 성능이 향상되어 높은 출력 전압을 얻을 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

This study was carried out to find a new material having high removal efficiency for the harmful red tide. C. polykrikoides grow very fast and accumulate into dense and visible patches near the surface of the seawater ('Water bloom'). Some mineral medicines and Hwangto (reddish soil consist of clay minerals and Fe-oxides) were used in this study to remove C. polykrikoides. The pre-determined sprinkling ratio of mineral vs. seawater which contains approximately 5,000 cells/mL of C. polykrikoides was 10 g/L. In order to quantify the removal efficiency, the density of living cells was measured by counting with the Intervals of 0, 10, 30, and 60 minutes after sprinkling. Five Hwangtos feom different localities were examined in this study. It is found that a material with a high concentration of Fe and Al was the most effective to remove C. polykrikoides. After the sprinkling of the Hwangto showing the best removal efficiency in the test, 99% of total algaes were found to be eliminated within 60 minutes. Jeokeokji showed the highest removal efficiency among clay mineral medicines(92% removal efficiency after 60 minutes), and the rests in decreasing order are as follows: Gamto (91%) > Baekseokji (89%) > Hydromica (81%). In addition, Fe-oxide mineral medicine similarly looking as fine-grained earthy Daejaseok showed 100% removal efficiencyafter 30 minutes, and Wooyoeryang, 95% after 60 minutes. It is noted that even little addition (1 g/L) of Daejaseok, 10% of Hwangto concentration into seawater showed the removal efficiency of 100% after 60 minutes. From the results, it could be concluded that the fine-grained earthy Daejaseok was the most effective natural mineral medicine to remove the C. polykrikoides from seawater. Under the microscope the removal mechanism was found to be activated in the following order: adsorption, swelling of chain colony, chain colony crisis and algaecide.

Purpose : To assess the prevalence and characteristics of headache comorbidity with epilepsy in children and adolescents in a specialty epilepsy clinic. Methods : Two hundred twenty nine consecutive patients attending the Chosun University Hospital Pediatric Epilepsy Clinic (mean age $10.0{\pm}4.1\;years$, range 4-17, M:F ratio 1.1:1.0) were interviewed with a standardized headache questionnaire. Headache was classified according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition and epilepsy was classified according to the International League Against Epilepsy. Disability was assessed using pediatric migraine disability assessment (PedMIDAS). Results : Of the 229 epilepsy patients, 86 (37.6%) had co-morbid headache. Of the headache patients, 64 (74.4%) had migraine (65.6%- migraine without aura, 20.3% - migraine with aura, 14.1% - probable migraine). The mean headache frequency was $7.2{\pm}8.4$ per month, mean duration was $2.2{\pm}4.0$ hours, mean severity was $5.2{\pm}2.2$ out of 10, and mean PedMIDAS score was $13.0{\pm}35.4$. The proportion of females was not higher in epilepsy with headache patients (48.8%) compared to epilepsy patients alone (48.0%). In the patients with migraine, 48.4% had complex partial seizures, 17.2% had simple partial seizures, and 34.4% had generalized seizures (P=0.368). A postictal association of migraine was reported in 18.8% with 17.2% reporting a preictal headache, and 7.8% reporting an ictal headache. Conclusion : The prevalence of headache in pediatric epilepsy is higher than that in general pediatric population, suggesting a co-morbidity of headache in epilepsy patients with migraine being the most frequent headache disorder. Altered cerebral excitability resulting in an increased occurrence of spreading depression may explain the headache comorbidity with epilepsy. Further studies are needed to assess the etiology of this co-morbidity as well as assess the frequency, duration, severity and disability response to antiepileptic drugs.

It is generally known that the increase of the Earth surface temperature due to the global warming together with the land desertification by rapid urban development has caused severe climate and weather change. In desert or desertification land, it is observed that there are always severe flooding phenomena, even if desert sand has the high porosity, which could be believed as the favorable condition of rain water infiltration into ground water. The high runoff feature causes possibly another heavy rain by quick evaporation with the depletion of underground water due to the lack of infiltration. The basic physics of desert flooding is reasonably assumed due to the thermal buoyancy of the higher temperature of the soil temperature than that of the rain drop. Considering the importance of this topic associated with water resource management and climate disaster prevention, no systematic investigation has, however, been reported in literature. In this study, therefore, a laboratory scale experiment together with the effort of numerical calculation have been performed to evaluate quantitatively the basic hypothesis of run-off mechanism caused by the increase of soil temperature. To this end, first, of all, a series of experiment has been made repeatedly with the change of soil temperature with well-sorted coarse sand having porosity of 35% and particle diameter, 2.0 mm. In specific, in case 1, the ground surface temperature was kept at $15^{\circ}C$, while in case 2 that was high enough at $70^{\circ}C$. The temperature of $70^{\circ}C$ was tested as this try since the informal measured surface temperature of black sand in California's Coachella Valley up to at 191 deg. $^{\circ}F$ ($88^{\circ}C$). Based on the experimental study, it is observed that the amount of runoff at $70^{\circ}C$ was higher more than 5% compared to that at $15^{\circ}C$. Further, the relative amount of infiltration by the decrease of the surface temperature from 70 to $15^{\circ}C$ is about more than 30%. The result of numerical calculation performed was well agreed with the experimental data, that is, the increase of runoff in calculation as 4.6%. Doing this successfully, a basic but important research could be made in the near future for the more complex and advanced topic for this topic.

A study on bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of florfenicol was conducted in broilers following a single intravenous (i.v.) and oral (p.o.) doses of 20 mg/kg body weight (b.w.). Florfenicol concentrations in plasma were determined by a high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Plasma concentration-time data after i.v. administration were analyzed by a non-compartmental analysis. Following i.v. injection, the total body clearance was $0.74{\pm}0.25L/kg/h$ and the volume of distribution at steady-state was $1.16{\pm}0.19L/kg$. Florfenicol was rapidly distributed and eliminated following i.v. injection with $1.15{\pm}1.06h$ of elimination half-life. After oral administration, the calculated $C_{max}$ values ($8.18{\pm}0.97{\mu}g/mL$) were reached at $1.33{\pm}0.29h$ in broilers. The elimination half-life of florfenicol was $1.31{\pm}0.27h$ and the absolute bioavailability (F) was 75.46% after oral administration of florfenicol. Florfenicol amine, a major metabolite of florfenicol, was detected in all broilers after i.v. and p.o. administration of florfenicol. The observed $C_{max}$ values of florfenicol amine ($3.96{\pm}2.60\;and\;2.22{\pm}1.71{\mu}g/mL$) were reached at $0.16{\pm}0.19\;and\;1.61{\pm}1.02h$ after i.v. and p.o. administration of florfenicol, respectively. Florfenicol amine was eliminated with $1.88{\pm}0.39\;and\;2.64{\pm}1.39h$ of the elimination half-life after i.v. and p.o. administration of florfenicol, respectively.

Background: Continuous air leakage through chest tube after lung surgery may increase pt's hospital stay and lead to many complications including empyema etc. Chemical pleurodesis has frequently been used for prevention of air leakage. Therefore, we performed chemical pleurodesis using diluted fibrin glue in patients with continuous air leak-age and observed the effects and efficiency of treatment. Material and Method: From September, 2001 to August, 2005, 16 patients whose continuous air leakage lasted more than 7 days underwent chemical pleurodesis with diluted fibrin glue. The effects of treatment, complications and recurrences were reviewed. Dissolved fibrinogen 1.0 g and aprotinin 500,000 KIU were mixed in a 50 cc syringe (Mixed solution A). And dissolved thrombin 5,000 IU and Calcium chloride 600 mg were mixed in a 50 cc syringe (Mixed solution B). Cefazolin 1.0 g was mixed in a 50 cc syringe (Mixed solution C). Rubber tube was inserted between the chest tube and the collecting bottle. An inserted rubber tube was positioned 60cm above the patient and forming a loop appearance was done. Mixed solutions A, B and C were injected into the highest rubber tube. Results: Continuous air leakages disappeared in all f6 patients at next day. Chest tubes were removed after 3 days in all patients. Complications were chest pain in 12 patients (75%), leukocytosis in 14 patients (88%), fever and chill in 14 patients (88%). All complications were transient and disappeared without specific treatment. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that diluted fibrin glue chemical pleurodesis was effective in patients with continuous air leakage lasting more than 7 days. Diluted fibrin glue chemical pleurodesis had good results with acceptable complications. long term follow-up is necessary to evaluate the accurate effects of treatment and recurrence in a large number of patients.

Purpose: Helicobacter (H) pylori infection has been considered the most important cause of gastritis, dyspepsia, and gastroduodenal ulcer. Radioiodine can be accumulated in the remaining thyroid tissue, salivary gland, and stomach. We investigated if the high radiation induced by radioiodine in the stomach after high dose radioiodine therapy (HD-RIT) is effective in the eradication of H. pylori infection. Materials and Methods: One hundred ninety nine patients (M:F=33:166, age $46.7{\pm}12.3$ years) who had HD-RIT (dose $159.1{\pm}25.9\;mCi$, range 120-250 mCi) after thyroidectomy due to well differentiated thyroid cancer were enrolled. To detect H. pylori infection, the urea breath tests (UBT) were performed at 1 hour before HD-RIT and at 4 weeks after HD-RIT. The results of UBT were classified as positive (${\geq}50\;dpm$) or negative (<50 dpm), and analyzed its values. Results: Of 199 patients, 103 (51.8%) patients had positive UBT before HD-RIT. Of these, 80 patients had follow-up UBT after HD-RIT. Among them, 76 (95.0%) patients had persistent positive UBT and only 4 (5.0%) patients were changed negative UBT. Among 76 patients with persistent positive UBT, 26 (34.2%) patients had increased the values of follow-up UBT, 49 (64.5%) had decreased them, and 1 (1.3%) had shown the same value. The different values of UBT between before and after HD-RIT were $62{\pm}66.1\;dpm$ in increased one of follow-up UBT, and $153.3{\pm}157.1\;dpm$ in decreased one of follow-up UBT. Conclusion: We conclude that the radiation induced by HD-RIT is ineffective in the eradication of H. pylori infection. However, it could be influential the degree or distribution of H. pylori infection.

The Seongsan mine is one of the largest dickite deposits in the southwestern part of the Korean Peninsula. The main constithent minerals of the ore are dickite and quartz with accessory alunite, kaolinite and sericite. The geology around the Seongsan mine consists mainly of the late Cretaceous felsic volcanic rocks. In the studied area, these rocks make a synclinal structure with an axis of E-W direction plunging to the east. Most of the felsic volcanic rocks have undergone extensive hydrothermal alteration. The hydrothermally altered rocks can be classified into the following zones: Dickite, Dickite-Quartz, Quartz, Sericite, Albite and Chlorite zones, from the center to the margin of the alteration mass. Such zonal arrangement of altered rocks suggests that the country rocks, most of which are upper part of the rhyolite and welded tuff, were altered by strongly acid hydrothermal solutions. It is reasonable to consider that initial gas and solution containing $H_2S$ and other compounds were oxidized near the surface, and formed hydrothermal sulfuric acid solutions. The mineralogical and chemical changes of the altered rocks were investigated using various methods, and chemical composition of fifty-six samples of the altered rocks were obtained by wet chemical analysis and X.R.F. methods. On the basis of these analyses, it was found that some components such as $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3$, CaO, MgO, $K_2O$, $Na_2O$ and $TiO_2$ were mobilized considerably from the original rocks. The formation temperature of the deposits was estimated as higher than $200^{\circ}C$ from fluid inclusion study of samples taken from the Quartz zone. On the basis of the chemical composition data on rocks and minerals and estimated temperatures, the hydrothermal solutions responsible for the formation of the Seongsan dickite deposits were estimated to have the composition: $m_{K^+}=0.003$, $m_{Na^+}=0.097$, $m_{SiO_2(aq.)}=0.008$ and pH=5.0, here "m" represents the molality (mole/kg $H_2O$).

Complex terrain refers to irregular surface properties of the earth that influence gradients in climate, lateral transfer of materials, landscape distribution in soils properties, habitat selection of organisms, and via human preferences, the patterning in development of land use. Complex terrain of mountainous areas represents ca. 20% of the Earth's terrestrial surface; and such regions provide fresh water to at least half of humankind. Most major river systems originate in such terrain, and their resources are often associated with socio-economic competition and political disputes. The goals of the TERRECO-IRTG focus on building a bridge between ecosystem understanding in complex terrain and spatial assessments of ecosystem performance with respect to derived ecosystem services. More specifically, a coordinated assessment framework will be developed from landscape to regional scale applications to quantify trade-offs and will be applied to determine how shifts in climate and land use in complex terrain influence naturally derived ecosystem services. Within the scope of TERRECO, the abiotic and biotic studies of water yield and quality, production and biodiversity, soil processing of materials and trace gas emissions in complex terrain are merged. There is a need to quantitatively understand 1) the ecosystem services derived in regions of complex terrain, 2) the process regulation occurred to maintain those services, and 3) the sensitivities defining thresholds critical in stability of these systems. The TERRECO-IRTG is dedicated to joint study of ecosystems in complex terrain from landscape to regional scales. Our objectives are to reveal the spatial patterns in driving variables of essential ecosystem processes involved in ecosystem services of complex terrain region and hence, to evaluate the resulting ecosystem services, and further to provide new tools for understanding and managing such areas.
