The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of topical 5% EMLA cream versus 20% Benzocaine gel in reducing pain from intra oral needle insertion alone as well as injection of anesthetic. The 2 topical anesthetics were tested against each other bilaterally using a randomized, controlled, single blinded, split mouth design. Phase I was conducted to find out the rapidity of onset action of the two agents on anterior/posterior vestibules and anterior/posterior palatal mucosa. Phase II was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the two topical anaesthetic agents in reducing the pain of intraoral injections. The agents were left in anterior/posterior vestibules and anterior/posterior palatal mucosa for the amount of time recorded in phase I. Subjects recorded pain on a 100-mm modified visual analog scale(VAS). A pulse oximeter was used to recorded the preoperative and postoperative pulse rates. In phase I of the study, two topical agents showed the longer onset of action at anterior part and vestibules than posterior part and palatal mucosa. EMLA cream showed the rapidest onset of action compared to benzocaine gel except on anterior palatal mucosa. In phase II of the study, the VAS grading of the pain for anesthetic administration showed EMLA cream was significantly(P<.05) better in elimination or reducing the pain on the anterior/posterior palatal mucosa. In conclusion, EMLA cream showed the rapidest onset of action compared to benzocaine gel except on anterior palatal mucosa. EMLA cream was found to be superior to Benzocaine gel with regards to pain reduction for anesthetic administration especially on anterior and posterior palatal mucosa.

The ratio of Pedestrians in traffic accident fatality takes up 43% in Korea, which is 2.5 times as much as OECD's average. The traffic accidents features by road type shows that the fatality of the national highway posts the highest due to the accidents of pedestrians. Accordingly, the establishment of safety facilities for pedestrians is expected to increase on the rural roads for the prevention of pedestrian accidents. However, studies on pedestrians have been mainly focused on urban intersections. In Particular, studies on estimating the effectiveness of safety features for pedestrians are very poor. Thus, in this study. the Pedestrian accident probability model on four lane national highway was developed by using logit model. Also, this study analyzed and proposed the effect of facilities as a relative risk by using an odds ratio. As a result of the analysis, the Improvement of sight distance, installing sidewalks and lightings were proven effective alternatives for reducing the pedestrian accidents.

최근 기후 변화 문제로 $CO_2$배출량 억제 정책에 따라 열전재료가 다양한 분야에 크게 주목 받고 있다. 열전 모듈은 전류를 흘려 온도차를 발생시키는 펠티어 효과와 온도차를 전력으로 변환하는 제백 효과를 이용한다. 열전발전용에 적용되는 상용 열전모듈의 경우, 열전소자의 접합부의 수는 수십 개 이상이다. 따라서 단 한 개의 접합 불량 열전소자가 모듈 전체의 열전성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 현재 상용화 된 Bi-Te계 열전 모듈은 Bi-Te의 Te와 Sn계 솔더의 주성분인 Sn이 $250^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 취성의 Sn-Te계 금속 화합물을 형성한다고 알려져 있다. 이 때 생성된 Sn-Te 화합물은 열전모듈의 접합강도를 약화시키고 이로 인해 열전모듈의 접합 신뢰성을 크게 저하 시킬 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 솔더와 소자 사이에 확산방지층이 적용되고 있으며, 이 중에서 니켈합금이 가장 널리 적용되고 있다. 니켈층을 형성시키는 방법 중에서, 무전해 도금법은 간단하게 열전소자 표면 위에 도금 층을 균일한 두께로 만들어 낼 수 있다. 하지만, 니켈 도금층과 Bi-Te 소자 간에 화학적 결함이 존재하지 않기 때문에, 무전해 니켈 도금층의 밀착성이 떨어진다. 이 때. 소자 표면에 거칠기 효과(anchor effect)를 부여하기 위해 물리적 샌딩법을 사용하는데 이 방법의 경우 소자에 크랙 같은 손상을 미쳐 열전모듈의 신뢰성 저하를 가져온다. 그러므로 거칠기 효과를 부여하면서 소자에 손상을 최소화하는 습식 식각법을 개발하여 Bi-Te계 열전소자의 표면 조도를 조절하고 무전해 Ni-P 도금을 실시하였다. 그리고 열처리 유무에 따른 열전모듈의 접합강도를 측정하였으며, 제작한 열전 모듈의 접합부 및 파단부의 계면 분석하여 무전해 Ni-P도금을 위한 습식식각법(wet etching법)에 대하여 검토하였다. N-type은 질산과 구연산의 혼합수용액에, P-type은 왕수에 습식 식각처리를 해서 적당히 표면 조도를 조절한 후에 EPMA로 분석을 해본 결과 니켈 도금층과 Bi-Te 소자 간에 anchor effect가 부여 된 것을 확인했다. 습식 식각에 의해서 제조된 열전모듈의 접합강도는 종래의 알루미나 샌딩법으로 제조한 열전모듈 보다 높은 접합강도를 나타내었다.

Vertical loads acting on corrugated metal culverts under negative arching condition were investigated through numerical analyses. Four kinds of corrugated metal culverts with span of 3m were considered in numerical analyses. Also, depths of cover were varied from 1m to 6m with increment of 1m. According to numerical analyses, magnitudes of vertical loads acting on culverts under the condition of negative arching were similar as overburden load on culvert. Furthermore, magnitudes of vertical loads acting on culverts supported by pile foundation were similar as those without pile foundation when depths of cover were less than about 2m. For larger depths of cover which are greater than about two times of span of culvert, magnitudes of vertical loads were slightly larger than those without pile foundation and its tendency becomes more clear as flexural rigidity of corrugated metal increases.

We analyzed the content of total phenolic and silymarin compounds of Cirsium japonicum (CJ), and its antioxidant activities and Liver protective effects were compared with those of Silybum marianum (SM). The total phenolic content in the aerial part ($97.22{\pm}5.51mg/g$) of CJ is higher than that in the underground part ($85.32{\pm}3.06mg/g$). The total silymarin content of CJ was 55.56% of SM, with the underground part ($0.47{\pm}0.03mg/g$) having higher content than the aerial part ($0.18{\pm}0.02mg/g$). The antioxidant activity of CJ was generally slightly lower than that of milk thistle, and the underground part of CJ generally had higher activity compared to the aerial part. When CJ extracts were processed at 1 mg/ml, DPPH activities were $83.76{\pm}0.60$ and $88.28{\pm}0.17%$, and FRAP activities were $77.63{\pm}0.70$ and $82.83{\pm}0.39%$ for extracts from aerial part and underground part, respectively. ABTS activities were $68.60{\pm}1.24$ and $63.41{\pm}0.57%$ for underground and aerial part respectively when extracts were processed at 0.1 mg/ml. The Liver protective effects of CJ were higher in the extracts from underground part compared to the aerial part, Liver cells were damaged by treating them with t-BHP, $H_2O_2$ and Ethanol, and then they were treated with 0.2 mg/ml CJ extracts. The survival rates of the damaged liver cells were $49.58{\pm}0.34$, $76.87{\pm}1.10$ and $71.73{\pm}0.58%$ respectively, which were higher than the cells not treated with extracts.
