The purpose of this study was to compare curing efficiency of newly developed curing units to traditional halogen curing unit by measuring thermal change and surface microhardness according to curing light system. Materials and mathods : The types of curing units were traditional low intensity halogen light(Optilux 360), plasma arc light(Flipo), low heat plasma arc light(Aurys), low intensity LED(Starlight), and high intensity LED(Freelight2). Temperature at the tip of light guide was measured by a digital thermometer using K-type thermocouple. And after resin was filled to 2, 3, 4mm teflon mold, bottom temperature measured during curing. After 24 hours, microhardness of top surface and bottom surface of each resin specimen were measured. Results : The result of this study can be summarized as follows, 1. As measuring temperature of curing unit tips, Flipo is the highest as $52.4^{\circ}C,\;Freelight2(37.86^{\circ}C),\;Optilux360(32.68^{\circ}C),\;Aurys(32.34^{\circ}C),\;and\;Starlight(26.14^{\circ}C)$ were followed. 2. Flipo and Freelight2 were the highest similarly and Optilux360 and Aurys were similarly next and Starlight was lowest in temperature of bottom surface of resin mold. 3. Microhardness of top surface were generally similar, and Aurys was relatively low. 4. Optilux 360 and Freelight2 were the highest, and Flipo, Starlight, and Aurys were followed in microhardness of bottom surface. Conclusions : The results suggest that careful use of Flipo and Freelight2 might be able to cure greater depth of resin composite and do not cause thermal problems than other curing units.

Photothermal therapy is a treatment that necrotizes selectively the abnormal cells, in particular cancer cells, which are more vulnerable to heat than normal cells, using the heat generated when irradiating light. In this study, we synthesized a reduced graphene oxide with carboxyl groups (CRGO)-gold nanorod (AuNR) nanocomposite for photothermal treatment. Graphene oxide (GO) was selectively reduced and exfoliated at high temperature to synthesize CRGO, and the length of AuNR was adjusted according to the amount of AgNO₃, to synthesize AuNR with a strong absorption peak at 880 nm, as an ideal photothermal agent. It was determined through FT-IR, thermogravimetric and fluorescence analyses that more carboxyl groups were conjugated with CRGO over RGO. In addition, CRGO exhibited excellent stability in aqueous solutions compared to RGO due to the presence of carboxylic acid. The CRGO-AuNR nanocomposites fabricated by electrostatic interaction have an average size of ~317 nm with a narrow size distribution. It was confirmed that under radiation with a near-infrared 880 nm laser which has an excellent tissue transmittance, the photothermal effect of CRGO-AuNR nanocomposites was greater than that of AuNR due to the synergistic effect of the two photothermal agents, CRGO and AuNR. Furthermore, the results of cancer cell toxicity by photothermal effect revealed that CRGO-AuNR nanocomposites showed superb cytotoxic properties. Therefore, the CRGO-AuNR nanocomposites are expected to be applied to the field of anticancer photothermal therapy based on their stable dispersibility and improved photothermal effect.

현재 반도체 나노구조는 단전자 트랜지스터, 레이저, LED, 적외선 검출기 등과 같은 고효율 광전자 소자에서의 응용을 위해 활발한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 이러한 응용 분야를 위한 다양한 종류의 나노구조 성장이 광범위하게 시도 되고 있지만 주로 III-V 족 화합물 반도체에 대한 연구가 주를 이룬 반면 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체에 대한 연구는 아직 미흡하다. 하지만 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체는 III-V 족 화합물 반도체와 비교했을 때 더 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지(exciton binding energy)를 가지는 우수한 특성을 보이고 있으며 이러한 성질을 가지는 II-VI 족 화합물 반도체 중에서도 넓은 에너지 갭을 가지는 CdTe 양자점은 녹색 영역대의 광전자 소자로서 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자 선속 에피 성장법(molecular beam epitaxy; MBE)과 원자 층 교대 성장법(atomic layer epitaxy; ALE)으로 CdTe 두께에 따른CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조의 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 광루미네센스(photoluminescence; PL)를 통해 CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조에서 CdTe 두께에 따른 에너지 밴드와 열적 활성화 에너지를 관찰하였다. 또한 시분해 광루미네센스(Time-resolved PL)를 통해 CdTe 두께에 따른 CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조의 운반자 동역학을 조사하였다. 저온 광루미네센스 측정 결과 CdTe 두께가 증가할수록 각 샘플의 피크는 더 낮은 에너지 영역대로 이동하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 1.2 에서 2.0 ML로 증가할 때 광 루미네센스의 작은 적색편이를 관찰할 수 있는데, 이는 CdTe 양자우물에서 양자점으로의 구조적인 전이가 일어남에 따라 구속효과가 증가하였기 때문이다. 또한 2.0 에서 3.6 ML까지 CdTe 두께가 증가할 때 측정된 적색편이 현상은 양자점의 사이즈 증가함에 따른 것이다. 마지막으로 3.6 에서 4.4 ML로 CdTe 두께가 증가할 때 큰 적색편이 현상을 볼 수 있는데 이는 CdTe 양자점에서 양자세선으로의 구조적 전이에 따라 구속효과가 증가하였기 때문이다. 온도 의존 광루미네센스(Temperature-dependent PL) 측정 결과 1.2 와 3.0 ML 두께의 CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조에서 구속된 전자의 열적 활성화 에너지가 18 과 35 meV로 관찰되었다. 3.0 ML CdTe/ZnTe 나노구조에서 가장 큰 열적 활성화 에너지를 갖는 것은 양자점의 균일도가 좋아지고 저차원 나노구조로의 구조적 전이가 일어나면서 운반자 구속효과에 다른 쿨롱 상호작용이 증가하였기 때문이다.

Size distribution of suspended particulate materials (SPM) in the coastal waters of eastern Korea was studied using a laser particle size analyzer. Mean particle size (MPS) ranges from 3.69 to 8.40 ${\mu}m$ in surface waters, from 3.38 to 6.43 ${\mu}m$ in mid-depth waters, and from 3.88 to 8.30 ${\mu}m$ in near-bottom waters. For smaller MPS, the size distribution is unimodal, whereas it becomes polymodal as the MPS increases. Particle concentrations increased with the increases in MPS, suggesting that processes of adding larger particles in the waters such as resuspension of bottom sediments are more important in controlling MPS in the area than processes of removing smaller particles such as flocculation of fine particles. Observations of higher MPS near the coast in mid-depth waters, and at the continental slope in near-bottom waters appear to support the above idea. For surface waters with high MPS, mean particle density was noticably low, indicating the importance of biological activities in the formation of suspended particles.

In this study, anatase/brookite hybrid $TiO_2$ was prepared using different acid catalysts and microwave to improve photodegradation of organic pollutants. The methylene blue photodegradation properties of the prepared photocatalysts with different particle/crystal size and brookite fractions were investigated. Surface characteristics and particle sizes of anatase/brookite hybrid $TiO_2$ were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser diffraction particle size analyzer, respectively and crystal structures were investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD). Methylene blue photodegradation properties were evaluated with UV-vis spectrophotometer. Anatase and anatase/brookite hybrid $TiO_2$ had less than 500 nm size of clusters and the average particle size of $6.66{\sim}6.85{\mu}m$, suggesting that types of acid catalysts did not affect the size. XRD of the prepared $TiO_2$ showed that the photocatalysts had anatase/brookite hybrid crystal structure and applying microwave did not change their crystal structure. Photodegradation of methylene blue with the prepared photocatalyst did not increased proportionally to the fraction of brookite and the crystal size and decreased when brookite fraction and the crystal size increased further. Anatase/brookite hybrid $TiO_2$ with brookite fraction of 9.4% and crystal size of 4.53 nm shows the best photodegradation activity of methylene blue.

$\underline{Purpose}$: Using cone beam CT, we can compare the position of the patients at the simulation and the treatment. In on-line image guided radiation therapy, one can utilize this compared data and correct the patient position before treatments. Using cone beam CT, we investigated the errors induced by setting up the patients when use only the markings on the patients' skin. $\underline{Materials\;and\;Methods}$: We obtained the data of three patients that received radiation therapy at the Department of Radiation Oncology in Chung-Ang University during August 2006 and October 2006. Just as normal radiation therapy, patients were aligned on the treatment couch after the simulation and treatment planning. Patients were aligned with lasers according to the marking on the skin that were marked at the simulation time and then cone beam CTs were obtained. Cone beam CTs were fused and compared with simulation CTs and the displacement vectors were calculated. Treatment couches were adjusted according to the displacement vector before treatments. After the treatment, positions were verified with kV X-ray (OBI system). $\underline{Results}$: In the case of head and neck patients, the average sizes of the setup error vectors, given by the cone beam CT, were 0.19 cm for the patient A and 0.18 cm for the patient B. The standard deviations were 0.15 cm and 0.21 cm, each. On the other hand, in the case of the pelvis patient, the average and the standard deviation were 0.37 cm and 0.1 cm. $\underline{Conclusion}$: Through the on-line IGRT using cone beam CT, we could correct the setup errors that could occur in the conventional radiotherapy. The importance of the on-line IGRT should be emphasized in the case of 3D conformal therapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy, which have complex target shapes and steep dose gradients.
