The effects of sulfur on the catalytic reaction between CO and NO on polycrystalline Pt surface, which is very important in the development of catalyst for automobile exhaust gas control, have been studied using thermal desorption spectrometry(TDS) under ultra-high vacuum(UHV) conditions. Sulfur weakened both the adsorptions of CO and NO by direct site blocking and indirect electronic effect. S(a) desorbing below 800 K gave little effect on reaction activity whereas S(a) desorbing above 800 K, which adsorbs as an atomic state, gave much effect on it. The adsorbed sulfur existed on the surface of platinum in the form of islands, and also reduced the adsorption energies of adsorbates by the long-ranged electronic effect. The platinum catalyst in the reaction between CO and NO was poisoned selectively by S(a), poisoning firstly the active sites of this reaction.

현재 우리나라에서 이용하고 있는 소류사량 직접계측방법에는 Arnhem 소류사 채취기와 Helley-Smith 소류사 채취기 등이 있다. 하지만 이러한 방법은 현장에서 계측하기가 매우 어렵고 많은 비용과 인력, 시간이 소모되며 특히 연속적인 계측이 어려워 소류사량의 직접계측자료를 기초로 하는 연구는 거의 전무한 상태이다. 이에 대한 대안으로 최근 국내외에서는 마이크로폰을 내장한 금속관에 토사가 충돌 시 발생하는 음향데이터를 수집 및 분석하여 소류사량을 계측하는 간접계측방법 하이드로폰을 사용하고 있다. 하이드로폰 시스템의 대부분이 증폭채널방법을 사용하고 있는데 이러한 방법은 개별입자에 대한 음향특성을 반영하기에는 다양한 크기를 가지는 소류사 입자에 대한 음향신호를 하나의 임계치 기준으로 필터링 하기 때문에 한계가 있다. 즉 기존의 방법은 소류사량의 상대적인 크기만 추정할 수 있을 뿐 소류사량을 정량화할 수 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 소류사가 이동할 때 발생하는 충돌음향을 신호 처리하여 소류사량을 추정하는 계측기기인 하이드로폰을 이용하여 기존 소류사량의 계측 방법을 개선하기 위한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험은 하이드로폰을 적용한 수리모형 실험 장치를 구축하고 현장에서 취득한 시료 중 대표시료로 분류된 두 가지 입자에 대해서 수리 조건 변화에 따른 충돌음향을 계측 및 분석하였다. 연구결과 입자크기 및 수리조건 변화에 따른 하이드로폰의 인지특성을 파악할 수 있었고 소류사 충돌음과 연관성 높은 주파수 대역을 분리하여 소류사 충돌음을 판독할 수 있는 계측알고리즘을 제시하였다. 특히 본 연구에서 제안하는 하이드로폰 충돌음향 분석법 B-P Method는 낮은 유속과 작은 입경의 소류사의 조건일 때 타 방법에 비해 제안된 B-P Method가 높은 판독률을 보여주었다.

The flow noise generated by hull appendages is directly related to the performance of the sonar in terms of self-noise and induces a secondary noise source through interaction with the propeller and rudder. Thus, the noise in the near field should be analyzed accurately. However, the acoustic analogy method is an indirect method that is not used to simulate the propagation of an acoustic signal directly; therefore, diffraction, reflection, and scattering characteristics cannot be considered, and near-field analysis is limited. In this study, the propagation process of flow noise in water was directly simulated by using the lattice Boltzmann method. The lattice Boltzmann method could be used to analyze flow noise by simulating the collision and streaming processes of molecules, and it is suitable for noise analysis because of its compressibility, low dissipation rate, and low dispersion rate characteristics. The flow noise source was derived using Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations for the hull appendages, and the propagation process of the flow noise was directly simulated using the lattice Boltzmann method by applying the developed flow-acoustic boundary conditions. The derived results were compared with Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings results and hydrodynamic pressure results based on the receiver location to verify the usefulness of the lattice Boltzmann method within the near-field range in comparison with other techniques.

Purpose : This study aims to estimate the financial cost of rotavirus infection in Korea in the year of 2005. Methods : The incidence rates used were from the epidemiological profile at Jeoungeub District (5.8 cases/1,000 children <5 years old for inpatients, and 22.65 cases/1,000 children <5 years old for outpatients, per year). The health care cost per capita of rotavirus infection (ICD code: A08.0) was extracted from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database in Korea. The patient survey was conducted to capture information about non-medical costs and associated productivity loss incurred by adult caregivers. Results : The number of annual national cases among children <5 years old with rotavirus infection was estimated to be 69,122 (i.e., 55,030 outpatients and 14,092 inpatients). The total cost of rotavirus infection was estimated at 13.3 billion Korean won, comprising 11 billion Korean won (82.7%) of direct medical costs, 1.6 billion Korean won (12.0%) of direct non-medical costs (e.g., transportation and supplies), and 0.68 billion Korean won (5.1%) of productivity lost by adult caregivers. Conclusion : Rotavirus infection carries not only medical costs but also non-medical and indirect costs; together, these costs incur a significant burden on South Korean society. The impact of rotavirus on quality of life and health among patient caregivers was not considered in this study, but it does merit further research.

The purpose of this study was to improve work performance conducted at an actual clinical site by determining the relationship among critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability, and work performance. In this study, 335 dental hygienists completed self-administered survey. Final analysis was conducted with a total of 331 responses, excluding 4 questionnaire with unreliable responses and non-responses. The results indicated that as the age, educational background, and work experience of the subjects increased, their critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability scores increased and were statistically significant. For work performance, average total score was high for age, educational background and work experience, but only age and work experience were statistically significant. Critical thinking disposition, problem solving ability and work performance of the subject were relevant, and all of them were significant. Work performance was also influenced indirectly by mediating problem solving ability in critical thinking disposition. In other words, both direct and indirect effects were significant, and the existence of partial moderating effect was verified. Thus, in order to improve work performance of dental hygienists, a multilevel educational process that can simultaneously improve critical thinking disposition and problem solving ability of dental hygienists needs to be developed. Therefore, it is expected that the new dental hygiene company will be able to perform without any sense of disparity in the clinical field; this will solve the gap between dental hygiene education and practical skills.

Debates over the ecological and public health impacts of aerial pesticide sprays are increasing. This is particularly true for controlling Monochamus beetles, which are vector insects of pinewood nematodes. In 2017, adult female orb-web spiders, Trichonephila clavata, were sampled from pine forests in Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, Korea, where the aerial pesticide spray, fenitrothion or thiacloprid, was used for several decades. The biological traits of the spiders (body weight, body length, carapace width, and total hind leg length) were compared among treatment sites (no-spray, sprayed three times, and sprayed five times), and differences were observed. The body length, carapace width, and total hind leg length of the spiders in the sprayed areas were significantly shorter than in the no-spray area, but there were no differences between the area sprayed three or five times. These results indicate that repeated exposures to an aerial pesticide spray can alter morphological parameters, which influences population-level fitness. Future studies should monitor the spider long-term responses to pesticides (a direct effect) and prey availability (an indirect effect).

A mass balance method which measures directly both the sorbed pesticide and equilibrium solution concentration was compared with the batch method in a hypothetical experiment to determine the precision of sorption measurement. The mass balance method was shown to improve precision of sorption measurement. The two methods were also tested experimentally on the Wahiawa soil, 0-20, 40-60 and 100-120 cm, and Salinas soil, 0-15 and 115-130 cm. The mass balance method greatly improved precision of sorption measurement on the deep Wahiawa subsoil having the lowest sorption. The coefficient of variation (CV) for $K_d$ measurement was 20.3% for the batch method and 8.4% for the mass balance method. For other soil samples tested, precision of the batch method was relatively high but was still improved by the mass balance method.

Nowadays, advanced countries and international community in which provide many services and profits due to rapid progress space science and technology whereas there is rising possibility of damage by collision of space object and increase of space debris. I will propose the concept and range of damage in the basis of review of space treaty and space liability convention as form of international order to fair and complete compensate to victim of accident and hazardous space activity. And, I will try to discuss possibility of compensation on personal damage and mental damage, scope of material damage, possibility of compensation about environmental contamination, issue of satellite data sending, place of damage, and so on. Also, I would like to propose establishment of space tribunal and regional cooperative agency.

The ${\alpha}-lactalbumin({\alpha}-la)$ concentration in raw and laboratory-heated milks by HPLC was 1.20 mg/ml (unheated), 1.17 mg/ml ($63^{\circ}C$, 30min), 1.13 mg/ml ($72^{\circ}C$, 15sec) and 0 mg/ml ($100^{\circ}C$, 10min), respectively. Whereas, ${\alpha}-lactalbumin$ concentration ranges of commercial milks were $1.00{\sim}1.02\;mg/ml$ (pasteurized), $0.23{\sim}0.68\;mg/ml$ (UHT-pasteurized) and $0.77{\sim}0.89\;mg/ml$ (UHT-sterilized), respectively. It was supposed that the ${\alpha}-lactalbumin$ content of sterilized milk will be lower than that of UHT milk, but the opposite occurred. This discrepancy would be caused by the different heating system in the milk plants, where indirect UHT-treatment had more heat intensity than direct UHT-processing. The HPLC determination of ${\alpha}-lactalbumin$ may be an indicator to evaluate correctly and rapidly heated milks.

저수준레이저를 이용하여 창상이나 병소의 치유과정에 대한 효과를 조사하기 위하여 많은 연구가 시행되었다. 연구에 의하면 갈륨비소 레이저광이 생체자극효과를 가진다고 하며, 저수준레이저를 조사하면 단백질과 핵산 (DNA) 합성을 자극하여 치은섬유아세포의 증식을 촉진한다고 보고하였다. 외상병소나 근육병소의 치료에 사용된 레이저치료법에 관한 관심이 점증함에 따라 저수준레이저요법 (LLLI)의 치유효과를 설명하기 위하여 분자생물학적 수준의 연구를 시행하기에 이르렀다. 보고에 의하면 Mutans Streptococcide 는 LLLI를 사용시 증식이 촉진되며, 다른 세균에서도 유사한 증식효과가 나타날 것이라고 주장하였다. 그러므로 LLLI가 피부감염을 야기하는 가장 흔한 원인인 Staphylococcus aureus 도 마찬가지로 증식이 촉진되는 지를 조사해볼 필요가 있으며, 또한 감염과 같이 특정 병적 상태에서의 저수준레이저광의 효과는 아직까지 명확하게 밝혀져 있지 않았다. 그러므로 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, Staphyloc occus aureus 의 증식에 대한 저수준레이저광의 효과를 조사하는 실험이며, 둘째 Staphylococcus aureus 로 가염된 피부창상에 대한 저수준레이저광의 효과를 판정하는데 있다. 34개의 Staphylococcus aureus 배양표본을 사용하여 48시간의 세포주기동안 조사기간과 조사시간, 그리고 레이저 펄스(laser pulse)형에 따라 3가지 실험을 시행하여 증식에 가장 효과적인 상태와 가장 비효과적인 상태의 갈륨비소 반도체 레이저펄스를 결정하였다. 이후 지름 약 6 mm의 개방창상을 44마리 백서의 양측 대퇴부에 형성하여 모든 창상에 S. aureus를 감염시켰다. 모든 표본은 펄스형과 조사방법 (중앙조사법과 주변조사법)에 따르는 실험을 하기 위하여 4가지로 분류하였다. 각 백서의 양측 창상중 하나는 1,3,5,7일 마다 각 실험의 방법에 따라 레이저를 조사하고 실험동물의 다른 창상은 대조군으로서 사용하였다. 모든 창상의 면적은 실험 1,3,5,7 일째에 일정한 거리에서 사진촬영하여 면적계를 이용, 측정한 후 통계적인 의의를 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 저수준레이저는 특정 조건하에서 S. aureus의 증식을 촉진하였다. 그러나 S. aureus에 감염된 창상을 저수준레이저로 조사시 치유가 촉진되었다. 중앙 조사법고 주변조사법에 의한 창상치유효과는 통계적인 의의가 보이지 않았다. 따라서 결론적으로 S. aureus 에 감염된 창상에 직접 또는 간접적이든 pulse의 종류에 관계없이 조사하는 경우 치유효과가 나타나는 것은 정사주위 조직의 LLLI 자극효과가 염증의 확산을 억제한다고 말할수 있다.
