Quartz (SiO₂) is among the major rock-forming minerals in the earth's crust. The atomistic structures of SiO₂ may evolve during diverse frictional processes. The reduction of friction of quartz-rock accompanied by its amorphization, hydration, and formation of silica gel provides mineralogical insights into earthquakes and related phenomena. Ball milling, together with rotary shear experiments have been useful to infer the atomic origins of such processes. In this study, optimal experimental conditions for ball milling for amorphization of SiO₂ were determined by taking into account various process variables. The crystallinity of SiO₂ gradually decreased and became amorphous as the ball milling time increased at a high milling speed. The degree of wear of the milling media and its effect on the amorphization of SiO₂ were analyzed using distinct milling materials (zirconia, stainless steel). The amount of ball wear increased with increasing milling time. Furthermore, the worn stainless steel particles from balls tend to interact with amorphized SiO₂ to form Si-O-Cr. These results aid in understanding the process of atomistic structural changes caused by ball milling of divserse materials with relatively high hardness, such as SiO₂, and understanding various geological friction processes.

In this study, a non-destructive evaluation (NDE) mothod is proposed for ball bearings contaminated with micro foreign substances, which were inserted into a ball bearing to create a defective specimen. The non-contact quantitative infrared thermographic technique was applied for NDE condition monitoring. Passive thermographic experiments were conducted to perform early fault diagnosis, for bearings operated at optimized torque status under a dynamic load condition. The temperature profiles for normal and defective specimens were quantitatively compared, and the thermographic data analyzed. Based on the NDE results, the temperature characteristics and abnormal fault detection of the ball bearing were quantitatively analyzed according to the rise in temperature.

This study provided the analytical model describing the friction-induced noise in the ball joint system under the edge loading condition. The frictional and conformal contact kinematics between the spherical bearing and the hemispherical socket was derived and the dynamic equations of the perturbed motion were established. The numerical results revealed that the bending modes of the ball joint system can become unstable due to friction, and the axial load and contact stiffness strongly influenced the dynamic instability. In contrast, the tilting angle of the socket was not found to significantly contribute to the dynamic instability of the ball joint.

Copper chip scrape has been occurred by cutting of copper pipe. The feasibility of copper chip scrape into the copper powder by milling was studied. Two milling type such as rod milling and horizontal balling milling were applied in this research. Copper chip can not fragmented into powder by using rod milling. In contrast to rod milling, copper chip can be changed into powder by horizontal ball milling for above 36 hours. It was found that recycling of copper chip scraps into copper powder by horizontal ball milling is possible and powder fraction percent ($75{\sim}150{\mu}m$) of milled copper chip for 48 hours is 25.3%.

This study is focused on the structural dynamic responses, i.e., vibration analysis results of the high-accuracy observation multi-axial camera, which is installed and operated for the UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and helicopter etc. And, the authors newly suggest a modeling technology of the ball bearing applied to the camera by using three-axis spring elements. The vibration analysis results well agreed to the randum vibration test results. Also, the vibration responses characteristics of the multi-axial camera through the time history analysis of the random vibration were analyzed and evaluated. The above results can be applied to the FE-modeling of the ball bearings used for the space cameras.

강원도 설악산 국립공원에는 국내 최장의 토왕성 폭포가 있다. 유역면적이 $0.54km^2$에 불과하여 평소에는 폭포의 물줄기를 볼 수 없지만, 비 온 뒤에는 며칠간 하얀 물줄기의 장관을 연출한다. 본 연구에서는 물리적 기반의 수문모형인 CAT3.0을 이용하여 강우시 토왕성 폭포의 유출량을 분석하고 강우량에 따른 유출지속기간을 산정하여 강우의 누적량 및 지속기간에 따른 폭포의 물줄기를 볼 수 있는 기간을 추정하고자 하였다. CAT 3.0은 다양한 침투방정식중에 Rainfall Excess, Horton Eq., Green-Ampt. Eq.을 이용하여 강우시 토양특성(토양깊이, 투수계수)과 잠재증발산량과 토양수분량에 의한 실제증발산량을 산정하고 유출량을 계산하는 수문모형이다. 토왕성 폭포의 유출 특성을 분석하기 위하여 속초지점의 19년간(2010~2018) 관측자료를 이용하였으며, 토양의 깊이는 10 cm, 30 cm를 가정하여 비교하였다. 유출해석을 위하여 일단위 자료를 사용하였으며, 강우지속일수 및 누가강우량에 따른 유출을 산정하고 폭포의 물줄기가 확연히 보일 수 있는 한계유출량을 추정하였다. 폭포로부터의 유출량을 측정하는 관측지점이 없으므로, 폭포의 물줄기를 볼 수 있는 기간은 방송사 뉴스, 신문기사, SNS 등의 다양한 정보원으로부터 유추해석하였다. 이러한 분석결과로부터 강우에 의한 토왕성 폭포의 물줄기를 볼 수 있는 기간을 제시하였다.

Among the 4th Industrial Revolution technologies, evaluated bolus applicability through dose assesment according to the materials of 3D printing technology. Dose assesment was using MCNPX which was applied Monte Carlo method and 3D print materials were ABS, PC and PLA. Thus, the thickness with the same effect as the bolus 10 mm was found to be ABS 10 mm, PC 9 mm and PLA 9 mm for the 6 MeV electron. For 6 MV X-ray, ABS 11 mm, PC 10 mm and PLA 9 mm were shown. This study showed that tissue equivalent materials made from 3D printer materials can replace bolus.

A statistical approach to inspection of the 3-D shape of micro solder balls is proposed, where an optical method with spatially arranged LED and specular reflection is used. The reflected image captured by a vision system was analyzed to calculate the relative displacements of LED's in the image. Also, the statistics of displacements for the solder balls contained in a captured image are used to detect existing defects, and the usefulness of the proposed method is shown via experiments.

The aim of this study was to examine the metabolic adjustment of lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27, LDH) isozymes to the environmental temperature in bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus). This study included three groups of bluegill collected in April (group Ⅰ), May (group Ⅱ), and September (group Ⅲ). The LDH activities of skeletal muscle, heart, and brain tissues were higher in group Ⅲ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ. The citrate synthase (EC 4.1.3.7, CS) activity was higher in skeletal muscle but lower in heart and brain tissues of group Ⅱ as compared to group Ⅰ. In contrast, the CS activity was lower in skeletal muscle and higher in heart and brain tissues in group Ⅲ than in group Ⅱ. Furthermore, the LDH/CS activity ratio was higher in the skeletal muscle and brain in group Ⅲ than in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ. Accordingly, anaerobic metabolism was increased in group Ⅲ. LDH A₄, A₂B₂, and B₄ isozymes were expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, liver, and brain tissues. The LDH C hybrid was detected in brain tissue. The LDH A₄ isozyme was successfully purified by affinity chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified LDH A₄ isozyme was 136 kDa and its optimal pH for enzymatic activity was 8.0. The K_m^PYR values of LDH in skeletal muscle were 0.161-0.227 mM using pyruvate as a substrate. These kinetic properties of LDH in skeletal muscle are consistent with the fact that bluegill is a cold-adapted species. These results may be useful for predicting the habitat use of this fish.
