황사는 대개 봄철 중국 대륙이 건조해지면서 중국 북부 사막 등의 흙먼지가 강한 상승기류를 타고 편서풍을 따라 우리 나라까지 날아오는 현상이다. 황사가 발생하면 시정이 떨어질 뿐 아니라 대기의 오염원으로 작용하여 질병을 유발시키기도 한다. 특히 황사로 인한 대기 중의 에어로졸 농도 증가는 지표에 도달하는 직달 일사량을 감소시켜 에어로졸의 광학적 두께에 영향을 준다. (중략)

Concrete is a construction material with porous media and corroded steel inside affects negatively to durability and structural safety. This study aims a derivation of quantitative relationship between measured HCP (Half Cell Potential) and corrosion amount considering cover depth and W/C (water to cement) ratio. For the work, cement mortar specimens with 3 different W/C ratios and 4 different cover depths are prepared, HCPs are measured with 3 different corrosion level. HCP measurement significantly increases in the saturated condition and linear relationship is observed between corrosion level and acceleration period. With increasing corrosion level and W/C ratio, and decreasing cover depth, HCP measurement increases. Considering total corrosion level and HCP measurements, relatively low COV(Coefficient of Variation) of 0.67 is evaluated through multi-linear regression analysis, however higher COVs over 0.90 can be obtained considering level of HCP measurement. In the room condition, corrosion level can be evaluated through measured HCP in the given conditions of cover depth, W/C ratio. diameter of steel inside.

The most typical deterioration of steel structures is corrosion damage. However, a method to evaluate residual load-carrying capacity of corroded steel structures is not yet established. It is difficult to check current serviceability and safety of the structures. In this study, compressive tests and finite element analyses were conducted on H-beams with corroded web. Then, the effect of corrosion damage on web crippling strength and evaluation methods of the web crippling strength are studied. Based on the tests, 4 H-beam specimens used in a subway construction site and 9 H-beam specimens with different web-thickness and damaged-height underwent compression-tests. To consider loading and supporting areas in the site, compressive loading was applied in the entire region of the upper and bottom flange in 5 H-beam specimens and applied partially on the regions of the upper and bottom flange in 8 specimens. The finite element analysis of 38 parametric model specimens simulating different corrosion damages was also carried out. From experimental and analytical results, the relationships between corrosion damages in the web and residual web crippling strength are presented. Factors web crippling strength was reduced are formulated by using residual average thickness and the standard deviation of the corroded web thickness. Also, a simple evaluation method of residual web crippling strength was proposed.

In order to establish basic data of SAMP6 as an animal model for osteoporosis, present study has been designed to concentrate on the various biological aspects of SAMP6 such as growth index, hematology, blood biochemistry, biochemical characteristics, and bone and cortical thickness. Investigation period was for 15 months (3 months to 18 months of age) and biological characteristics have been examined throughout the study period. The results were summarized as follows : Decreased body weight of male SAMP6 was noticed from 7 months of age compared to from 18 months of age in female. Although there were no significant differences in organ weights, generally those of male mice were greater than those of females, especially in liver, kidney and lung. According to the analysis of blood biochemistry and hematology, the number of leukocytes in male mice was greater than that of female mice. There was a decrease in bone thickness in both male and female mice starting around from 7 months of age. Peak cortical thickness index was noticed at 5 months of age in both sexes. In femur, the highest $Ca^{2+}$ content for both sexes was noticed at 5 months of age, whereas the highest P$^{3+}$ content was noted at the age of 5 and 7 months in male and female mice, respectively. The contents of both elements were gradually decreased with age after peaks for both sexes. In summary, SAMP6 mice in KRICT colony show osteoporotic characteristics starting from 5 to 7 months of age, suggesting that at least 5 months of old animals should be used for studying the mechanism of osteoporosis or screening anti-osteoporosis drugs. This study also suggests that the cortical index thickness, $Ca^{2+}$ and P$^{3+}$ contents, and alkaline phosphatase activities can be used as indexes for drug screening.

Memory switching of the amorphous chalcogenide Ge-Te-Si memory devices were observed at various thicknesses and temperatures. For a given thickness, the distribution of threshold voltages shows a strong peaks, which is attributed to the intrinsic switching mechanism. The plot of Vth versus thickness indicates that threshold voltages were lowered and switching fields were raised as thickness was decreased. And threshold voltage sagged as temperature was raised and the fact that threshold voltage can be lowered at the temperature range under Tg was obtained.

pin-형 비정질 실리콘 태양전지에서 p-층은 창물질로서 전기 전도도가 크고, 빛 흡수가 작어야 한다. p층의 두께가 얇으면 i층에서 충분한 내부전위를 얻을 수 없어 개방전압이 작아진다. 반대로 p-층 두께가 두꺼워지면 p-층 자체에서 빛 흡수가 증가하고, 높은 불순물 농도(> $10^{20}/cm^3$)에 의한 표면재결합이 문제가 되어 변환효율이 감소한다. 밴드갭이 큰 물질로 창층을 만들면 짧은 파장의 입사광이 직접 i-층을 비추므로 단락전류와 곡선인자를 증가시킬 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 비정질 실리콘 증착과 박막 특성 분석을 위하여, $5cm{\times}5cm$ 크기의 eagle 2000 glass(유리)와 p형 실리콘 wafer가 사용되었다. 투과도, 흡수도, Raman, 암전도도 와 광전도도 특성 측정에 유리 기판에 증착된 박막을, 두께 측정, FTIR 측정에는 실리콘 기판에 증착된 박막이 각각 사용되었다. p형 비정질 실리콘 증착에는 $SiH_4$, $H_2$, $B_2H_6$ 가스를 사용하였고, 플라즈마 형성에는 13.56MHz의 RF 소스가 사용하였다.p층은 $SiH_4$ 가스와 $H_2$ 가스비가 1:5인 조건에서 $B_2H_6$을 도핑하여 형성하였다. $B_2H_6$가스량을 변화시키며 형성하였으며, $B_2H_6$가스량이 증가함에 따라 암전도도가 증가하였으나, 광학적 밴드갭이 감소하였다. $H_2/SiH_4$ 가스 비가 0.001일 때 밴드갭은 1.76으로 i층보다 높게 형성되었으며, 암전도도는 $10^{-7}$이었다.

This research compared the tensile performance of the vegetation mat, which was developed byu using the rapidly growing biodegradable plastic, Poly Lactic Acid(PLA), according to the biodegradation period. The test applied the method defined by Korean Standard KS. In the result of experiment using single-material PLA mesh and PLA plastic, the tensile strength and molecular weight were inverse-proportional to the 5 months of biodegradation period. The thickness of PLA mesh was increased by 11.2~13.4% while the tensile strenth of it was reduced by 32.4~55.4%. The tensile strength and molecular weight of PLA plastic were also reduced over time. However, the tension test of vegetation mat comprised of PLA mesh, non-woven fabric (including seeds), and jute net didn't have specific tendency.

The actuation performance of an EADE (Electro-active dielectric elastomer) is studied as functions of thinner content, thickness and types of the dielectric elastomer such as natural (NR), acrylonitrile-butadiene (NBR), and silicon (KE-12) rubbers. With a decrease in elastomer thickness ($1{\rightarrow}0.5{\rightarrow}0.25{\rightarrow}0.1{\rightarrow}0.05$ mm) and an increase in thinner content ($0{\rightarrow}30{\rightarrow}50$ phr), the actuating displacement of KE-12 elastomer is increased, however their breakdown occurs at low voltage. For the same thickness (1 mm), the displacement of KE-12 elastomer shows a higher value (2.24 mm) compared to that of NR or NBR at the same applied voltage of 25 kV. The KE-12 has the lowest elastic modulus and the NBR has the highest one among the tested elastomers. However, the displacement of NBR elastomer is higher compared to that of NR because of high dielectric constant. It is found that the important factors of EADE actuator are a thickness, modulus and dielectric constant of the elastomer.

Objective: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the force and stress depending on the type, deflection and thickness of the materials and to evaluate the mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials after repeated loading. Methods: Four types of thermoplastic products were tested. Force until the deflections of 2.0 mm and the stress when the materials were restoring to its resting position were evaluated. The mechanical properties of thermoplastic materials evaluated after 5 repeated loading cycles. Results: The interaction was observed between the thickness and the deflection (p < 0.05) from the regression equation. Thickness and amount of deflection rather than products and materials showed the largest effect on force and stress. In all products, at least 159 gf of force was required for more than 1.0 mm deflection or when materials with 1.0 mm thickness were deflected. The stress recorded was more than 19 gf/$mm^2$. During repeated loading, each group showed significant difference on the force and the stress (p < 0.01), 10 - 17% reduction of force and 4 - 7% reduction of stress in average. Conclusions: Proper thickness of thermoplastic materials and deflection level of tooth movement should be decided for the physiologic tooth movement. Force decay after repeated loading should be considered for the efficient tooth movement.
