This study was conducted to determine the effects of foliage plants on reducing indoor carbon dioxide ($CO_2$). Five foliage plants such as $Hedera$ $helix$ L., $Ficus$ $benjamina$ L., $Pachira$ $aquatica$, $Chamaedorea$ $elegans$, and $Ficus$ $elastica$ were selected and cultivated in two different growth medium (peatmoss and hydroball). Each plant was placed in an airtight chamber and then treated with the combinations of two different $CO_2$ concentrations (500 or 1,000 ppm) and two different light intensities (50 or $200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). The change of $CO_2$ concentration (ppm) in the airtight chamber during day and night was measured and then converted into the photosynthetic rate (${\mu}mol\;CO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$). As the results, each foliage plant reduced $CO_2$ level in the airtight chamber for one hour by photosynthesis. $Pachira$ $aquatica$ and $Ficus$ $elastica$ absorbed $CO_2$ more effectively compared to the other plants. The plants exposed to higher $CO_2$ concentration (1,000 ppm) and higher light intensity ($200{\mu}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}$) showed more effective $CO_2$ elimination rate and photosynthetic rate. The plants that have wide leaves and big leaf areas such as $Pachira$ $aquatica$, $Hedera$ $helix$ L.,and $Ficus$ $elastica$ showed higher photosynthetic rate than the other plants that have smaller leaves. Released $CO_2$ concentration by respiration of the plants during the night was very low compared to the absorbed $CO_2$ concentration by photosynthesis during the day. There was no significant difference between peatmoss and hydroball medium on reducing $CO_2$ concentration and increasing photosynthetic rate. In conclusion, this study suggested that foliage plants can effectively eliminate indoor $CO_2$. Optimum environmental control in relation to photosyntheis and usage of right indoor foliage plants having lots of leaves and showing active photosynthesis even under low light intensity like indoor light condition would be required to increase the elimination capacity of indoor $CO_2$.

A new piece of test equipment, the slurry wear tester (SWT), was proposed in this study to evaluate the wear behavior of rubber vulcanizate in environmental contact with slurry. Natural rubber (NR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) were chosen as the basic matrices to test the slurry wear. The fluids used to fill the chamber of the SWT were 35% HCl and NaCl solution. The Akron abrasion test was used for comparison with SWT. According to the results of the Akron abrasion test, CR vulcanizate abraded more rapidly than NR vulcanizate under same test condition. It was found that the hysteresis of rubber was key factor contribute to the wear behavior. However, the slurry wear rate of the NR and CR vulcanizates did not change significantly, even with changes in the concentration of acid and the immersion time in both HCl and NaCl solutions; the fluid decreased the friction between the abrasive paper and the specimen. It also reduced the heat generated from repeated deformation and wear debris at the surface of the SWT's abrasion arm. Thus, these phenomena affected the wear behavior of rubber vulcanizate and caused different results in the conventional Akron abrasion test. This outcome could have resulted in an incorrect analysis if the slurry wear behavior of the rubber vulcanizate was estimated by the conventional abrasion tests, which are operated under dry conditions.

LINGUAL ARCH APPLIANCE는 1908년 Mershon이 처음 창시한 교정장치로 band를 사용하는 교정장치중 가장 간단하면서도 여러가지 장점을 지니고 있다. 이 장치는 특히 성장발육기의 소아교정에 최적하여 치아의 기능을 제한하지 않으며 악골 및 치아의 자연적인 성장발육을 허용하고 자연적인 치아이동을 도모하게 한다. 또한 이 장치의 특징은 지속적인 교정치료보다는 간헐적인 치료를 한다는 사실이다.예를 들면 Angle씨 2 급부정교합 즉 상악전돌의 치료시는 상악에 Libial arch wire, 하악에 Lingual arch wire를 장착하고 여기에 악간고무를 이용하여 2급의 교합상태를 개선한후 수개월간 장치를 제거하여 치아의 자연적인 적응을 허용하고 다시 장치를 장착하여 치료를 계속하는 것이다.

Surface modification of silicone rubber by low temperature plasma process was investigated to improve quality of silicone EVD tube by reducing tackiness and hydrophobicity. Treatment with nonpolymer-forming plasmas and thin film deposition with polymer-forming plasmas were tried. Tackiness could significantly be reduced, especially by thin film deposition. As a result, the tube became slippery and less vulnerable to contamination in laboratory environment. Inner as well as outer surface of the tube could be changed to be hydrophilic if the plasma contained oxygen. As a result, initial hydrodynamic resistance was reduced. The surface modification did not give any bad influence on mechanical properties of the silicone tube in most cases. Rather, some properties such as Young's modulus, ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break were improved.

In this paper, composite panels with hat-shaped stiffeners were made using the co-curing, co-bonding and secondary bonding methods. Co-curing is a manufacturing method in which the hat part and the plate are cured simultaneously in a manner that is more cost effective than other methods. Co-bonding is a method in which the stacked prepregs are cured with other cured parts, and secondary bonding is a method in which cured parts are bonded together using an adhesive. A rubber mold was manufactured for co-curing of composite panel with hat-shaped stiffeners, and finite element analyses were done to evaluate the expanding pressure of the rubber mold consistent with the curing temperature. The manufactured panels were also evaluated using a 3-D measurement tester and an ultrasonic tester. Pull-off tests were performed to evaluate their mechanical properties.

Characteristics of rubber mixture were evaluated in order to find the optimum mixing conditions of compounds containing silica and silane at various temperatures. With different mixing temperatures of 105, 120, 130, 140 and $160^{\circ}C$, the viscosity of the compound mixed at $105^{\circ}C$ showed a very high viscosity value. Compounds mixed the temperature range from at $120^{\circ}C$ to $140^{\circ}C$ showed lower viscosity than the compound mixed at $105^{\circ}C$. However, the difference was found to be small in those temperature ranges. On the contrary, at the mixing temperature of $160^{\circ}C$, the viscosity of compound increased again. Through the physical and dynamic observations, it was verified that at the mixing temperature below $120^{\circ}C$ only insufficient silica-silane reaction has been obtained. In addition, with the elevated mixing temperature of $160^{\circ}C$, Cross-linking occurred during mixing by the sulfur contained in coupling agent. In the temperature ranges from $120^{\circ}C$ to $140^{\circ}C$, because of the fast coupling reaction at higher temperature, it was thought to be more advantageous during reaction even though the trend of viscosity and dynamic mechanical property was not clear.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of ipriflavone on periodontal reorganization and prevention of relapse following tooth movement. Methods: Orthodontic rubber bands were inserted between the first and second maxillary molars of 27 white male rats for 3 weeks for experimental tooth movement. From one day before the removal of orthodontic rubber band, ipriflavone was administered 50 or 400 mg/kg daily in each experimental group whereas carboxymethyl cellulose solution was administered in the control group. They were sacrificed at the 5, 10, and 15th day from the day of removal of orthodontic rubber bands. The amount of relapse was evaluated by measuring the interdental space, and the extent of periodontal reorganization was compared through histological examination. Results: In case of ipriflavone administration, the amount and velocity of relapse was less and slower compared to the control group. In addition, the ipriflavone group showed more rapid periodontal reorganization compared to the control group. Conclusions: The results of the present study suggest that ipriflavone administration can be used effectively in the prevention of relapse following orthodontic tooth movement through the acceleration of periodontal reorganization.

이 논문은 산업공해의 발생 요인을 규명하는 부분과 여기서 규명된 요인에 따라 배출량을 규제하고 그 규제효과를 추정하는 두 가지 부분으로 이루어져 있다. 이 논문에서는 환경(環境) 산업연관(産業聯關) 분석(分析) 모형(模型)을 이용하여 우리 나라의 산업(産業) 공해(公害) 배출(排出) 요인(要因)을 규명하고자 하였다. 이 분석의 결과 얻은 잠정적 결론은 첫째, 우리 나라는 지난 10년간 에너지 절약적(節約的)인 기술개발(技術開發)등 에너지의 효율성과 생산기술(生産技術)(투입구조(投入構造))의 개선 등 생산기술측면에서는 대기오염 배출량을 감소시키는 구조적 변화가 있었던 반면에, 수출입(輸出入) 구조(構造)등 수요 측면에서는 그 배출량을 증가시키는 구조적 변화가 발생하였다. 그러나 전체적으로 구조적 요인은 공해 배출량을 증가시키지 않은 반면 경제 성장에 따른 생산 규모의 확대로 총 배출량은 크게 증가하였다. 산업공해의 배출량을 감축시키기 위한 한 가지 정책수단(政策手段)으로 우리는 일정 율의 탄산까스 배출량(排出量)을 규제하기 위해 필요한 공해 제거 비용을 계산하고 배출 단위 제거비용을 Pigou적 공해조세(公害租稅)로 제시함으로서 일정 배출량 감축 효과를 가지는 공해세를 계산하고자 시도하였다. 이 같은 배출 규제(規制)에 의한 물가상승(物價上昇)의 파급정도(波及程度)는 각 산업의 공해제거(公害除去)를 위한 중간투입물(中間投入物) 수요(需要)와 규제대상(規制對象) 산업(産業)과의 산업연관(産業聯關) 정도(程度)에 따라 상이하다. 배출량(排出量)이 큰 6대(大) 공해산업(公害産業)에 대한 규제(規制)는 자기(自己) 가격상승율(價格上昇率)이외에 산업연관효과(産業聯關效果)의 차이 때문에 산업별로 다른 물가 파급효과를 발생시킨다는 것을 보였다. 특히 석유와 석탄 등의 에너지에 대한 탄산까스 배출 규제는 규제 산업의 자기 가격을 매우 높은 율로 상승시키며, 각각 화학, 고무, 섬유, 의복 제품과 1 차금속, 전력 가스, 조립금속, 시멘트 등에 높은 물가 파급효과를 나타내므로서 이산화탄소의 배출 규제 내지 탄소세의 부과가 몇 몇 산업의 가격 경쟁력에 집중적인 영향을 줄 것임을 시사하고 있다.

공동주택의 천장구조는 바닥충격음을 변화시키는 영향요소중의 하나이다. 천장구조의 진동응답 특성이 바닥충격음에 영향을 주는 요소를 확인하기 위해 천장구조의 달대를 제거하여 콘크리트 슬래브의 진동이 천장구조에 전달되지 않는 무달대 천장구조를 개발하였다. 달대가 시공된 일반 천장구조와 대비하여 무달대 천장구조의 천장판 가속도와 바닥충격음 레벨을 비교하였다. 무달대 천장구조를 사용함으로서 콘크리트 슬래브의 진동이 천장구조에 전달되는 것을 절연되어 천장구조의 진동응답 증폭을 저감시킬 수 있었으며, 저주파 대역의 바닥 충격음 증폭 또한 저감시킬 수 있었다. 일반 천장구조는 100 Hz 이하에서 천장구조의 진동응답이 증폭되어 저주파 대역 바닥충격음이 증폭되었다.
