The development of excellent high-energy materials has progressed in the direction of synthesizing compounds with high nitrogen content, ultimately oriented toward the form of polynitrogen. As cyclo-N₅^-, a type of polynitrogen, is synthesized as sodium pentazolate(NaN₅) and the results of various metal and non-metal compounds have been studied, the usage of polynitrogen compounds is attracting attention. However, since the known synthesis and purification method of NaN₅ are very extreme and complicated, it is essential to improve the process in order to increase the utility of the pentazolate compounds in the future. In this study, only a simple filtration method was applied to purify the NaN₅, and based on this, two non-metal pentazolate salt compounds were successfully synthesized.

The purpose of this study is to investigate cadmium concentrations among metals in ETS (Environmental Tobacco Smoke) of indoor environments and to evaluate the cadmium as a marker of ETS. The correlations of cadmium concentrations and nicotine, 3-EP, RSP, SD (Smoking Density), and SI (Smoking Index). Air samples of metals, nicotine, 3-EP, and RSP were taken in smoking room, smoking allowed office, corridor outside smoking room, and non-smoking office respectively. The SD, ACH, and SI were investigated during sampling. Airborne concentration of cadmium known as human carcinogen were qualified and quantified. The SD was 0.2 to $2.6cig/m^2{\cdot}hr$, and the mean value of SD in smoking rooms was $1.2cig/m^2{\cdot}hr$ that is higher than other researches. The mean of ACH in smoking rooms was 11.1. The concentrations of cadmium showed log-normal distributions and the geometric mean concentrations of cadmium in smoking rooms, corridor outside smoking rooms, smoking allowed offices, and non-smoking offices were $0.045{\mu}g/m^3$, $0.018{\mu}g/m^3$, $0.021{\mu}g/m^3$, and $0.017{\mu}g/m^3$ respectively. The concentrations of cadmium in smoking room showed significant difference according to category of indoor office environments (p<0.05) and showed compliance with occupational exposure limits. The correlation coefficients between cadmium and nicotine, 3-EP, and RSP were 0.53, 0.41, 0.43 respectively. The cadmium among metals showed the highest correlations (r=0.63) with SI. It was recommended cadmium among metals is a good indicator for ETS.

It often happens that a removable partial denture needs to be repaired due to tissue changes in the remaining alveolar ridge, fracture of the denture, or fracture of the abutment tooth. There are several advantages to retrofitting a customized surveyed crown under the existing RPD. Retrofitting a crown to the RPD decreases the economic burden to the patient and avoids the need for several appointments to fabricate a new RPD. It is difficult for artificial teeth used to repair dentures due to fractured natural teeth to have a shape similar to that of natural teeth, and to repair aesthetic artificial teeth, it is necessary to manufacture customized artificial teeth similar to the shape of each patient's teeth. Recently, CAD/CAM technology has been used to fabricate customized prosthetics on existing RPD to achieve high retention and fitness accuracy, and by manufacturing customized artificial teeth, more aesthetic and harmonious artificial tooth repair is possible. This is a case in which a denture was repaired using a digital method to fabricate a customized prosthesis on an existing partial denture and customized artificial teeth that mirrored the adjacent dentition, saving time and cost, simplifying the process, and achieving aesthetically and functionally satisfactory results.

This study suggests surface wave communication, which uses a metal surface as a medium, to provide wireless communication in the extreme environment due to surrounding metal materials on vessels. The test was conducted on a G/T 265 tons tug boat to confirm the possibility of surface wave communication between a bridge and each designated space in the ship. As a result, the transmission speed was 13Mbps on average. In a test case of the bridge via the engine room, the transmission speed was 4.3Mbps on engine running and 1.2Mbps on sailing. It overcame this by partially changing the equipment installation location. Surface wave communication in bow storage, a fully enclosed space, had 8Mbps better transmission speed than wireless communication; this confirmed the superiority of surface wave communication in confined spaces on a vessel. Additional surface wave generators were designed and applied to resolve the paint issue. It is expected to use surface wave communication to implement the new wireless solution for Maritime-IoT system on vessels.

We performed thermal and structural analyses to evaluate the structural integrity of a semi-metal gasket for a flange with increases in the internal fluid temperature and pressure using a commercial FEA program. As a thermal analysis result, the temperature distribution of the gasket body increased with an increase in the internal fluid temperature until the maximum fluid temperature of $600^{\circ}C$. In addition, the structural analysis showed that contact pressures of more than 35 MPa occurred uniformly in the graphite seal regions. It was found that no fluid leakage occurred under the load conditions for the structural analysis because the contact pressure in the graphite seal region was greater than the maximum internal fluid pressure of 35 MPa. Therefore, we demonstrated the structural integrity of the semi-metal gasket by performing the thermal and structure analyses under the maximum fluid temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ and the internal fluid pressure of 35 MPa.

A 0.5 t/h class non-furnace boiler has been developed with the aim of achieving a high efficiency and compactness. A metal fiber burner has been adopted so that a stable flame can be obtained. The tube banks are installed downstream of the burner. Bare tubes are used upstream, while finned tubes are installed downstream. The heat-transfer characteristics of the non-furnace boiler have been studies on the basis of the results of the numerical simulation as well as those of the experiment. Important design parameters such as the bulk temperature along the streamwise direction and the temperature of the fin tips have been evaluated using the CFD results and compared with the experimental data and the empirical correlations typically used for the design of the boiler.

The ion-exchange method for the purification of primary coolant has been used broadly in PWR(pressurized water reactor)-type nuclear power plants due to its high decontamination efficiency, simple system, and easy operation. However, its non-selective removal of metal and non-radionuclides shortens its life, resulting in the generation of a large amount of waste ion-exchange resin. In this study, the feasibility of electrodeionization (EDI) was investigated for the purification of primary cooling water using synthetic solutions under various experimental conditions as an alternative method for the ion exchange. The results shows that as the feed flow-rate increased, the removal efficiency increased and the power consumption decreased. The removal rate was observed as a 1000 decontamination factor(DF) at a nearly constant level. For the synthetic solution of 3 ppm TDS (Total Dissolved Solid), the power consumption was 40.3 mWh/L at 2.0 L/min of feed flow rate. The higher removal rate of metal species and lower power consumption were obtained with greater resin volume per diluting compartment. However, the flow rate of the EDI process decreased with the elapsed time because of the hydrodynamic resistivity of resin itself and resin fouling by suspended solids. Thus, the ion-exchange resin was replaced by an ion-conducting spacer in order to overcome the drawback. The system equipped with the ion-conducting spacer resolved the problem of the decreasing flow rate but showed a lower efficiency in terms of the power consumption, the removal rate of metal species and current efficiency. In the repeated batch operation, it was found that the removal efficiency of metal species was stably maintained at DF 1000.

주사전자현미경은 시료표면에 전자빔을 주사하여 시료와 전자빔간의 상호작용으로 발생하는 이차전자(SE)와 후방산란전자(BSE)를 이용하여 시료표면을 관찰하는 장비이다. 일반적으로 텅스텐필라멘트를 사용하며, 10E-5 mbar이하 압력의 고진공에서 시료관찰이 이루어진다. 고진공 시료관찰시 도체 시료는 표면 코팅 없이 관찰이 가능하지만, 부도체 시료의 경우 전자빔에 의한 대전(Charging)현상이 발생하여 이미지가 왜곡되며, 이를 방지하기 위해 금, 백금 등의 금속을 표면에 코팅하여야 한다. 하지만 10E-1 mbar 이상 압력의 저진공에서는 부도체 시료도 전자빔에 의한 대전(Charging)현상이 발생하지 않아 생물시료 등의 부도체 시료를 표면코팅 없이 관찰할 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 현재 개발 중인 CeB6 필라멘트를 탑재한 저진공 주사전자현미경의 차동배기구조를 보여준다. 차동배기에 의해 가동 압력 10E-1 mbar이상의 저진공을 유지하는 시료실과 CeB6 필라멘트를 사용하기 위한 10E-6 mbar이하의 고진공을 유지하는 전자총실의 진공 배기특성을 보고한다.

이온산란 분광법(ISS: Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)은 표면 원자의 구조를 러더포드 후방산란법(RBS: Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy) 등과 같이 실공간에 대하여 직접 정보를 얻는 방법이다. 그 중에서도 산란각도를 $180^{\circ}$로 고정하여 산란이온 검출기를 설치한 직충돌 이온산란 분광법(ICISS: Impact Collision Ion Scattering Spectroscopy)은 산란된 이온의 궤적이 입사궤도와 거의 동일하기 때문에 산란궤적의 계산이 간단해지고, 최외층 뿐만 아니라 표면에서 수 층 깊이의 원자구조의 해석이 가능하다. 또한 비행시간형(TOF: Time-Of-Flight) 분석기를 채택하여 산란 이온 및 중성원자를 동시에 측정하면 입사 이온의 표면에서의 중성화에 관계 없이 산란 신호를 얻으므로 표면 원자의 결합 특성에 영향 받지 않고 사용할 수 있다. 본고에서는 ICISS의 원리, 장치, 측정방법 등을 소개한 제1편 및 반도체 표면구조, 금속/반도체 계면 등의 해석에 관하여 기술한 제2편에 이어서 세라믹 재료의 표면 원자 구조, 세라믹 박막의 원자 구조, 흡착 기체의 구조, 원소의 편석 등에 관한 연구 사례를 소개하고자 한다.
