처분장 구조물의 주요방벽 재료중의 하나인 콘크리트에서의 핵종확산계수를 측정하기 위하여 내부확산법을 적용하였다. 핵종은 양이온과 음이온을 대표하는 Cs 과 I 이었으며, 고체 시료는 양생된 순수시멘트 또는 시멘트와 모레를 섞은 몰타르로 물과 시멘트의 비 (W/C) 를 변화시켰다. 용액은 표준 제조방법에 따라 제조된 합성지하수이었다. Curve fitting 법을 이용한 모델과 실험의 비교로부터 핵종의 확산계수를 계산하였다. 순수시멘트의 경우 Cs 의 겉보기 확산계수는 1.7 $\times$ $10^{-12}$~1.4 $\times$ $10^{-11}$ m$^2$/sec 의 범위로 W/C 가 증가할수록 컸으며 I 는 2.9 $\times$ $10^{-14}$ ~ 1.0 $\times$ $10^{-l3}$ $m^2$/sec의 범위로 또한 W/C 에 따라 증가하였다. 몰타르의 경우 W/C 가 클수록 Cs 의 확산계수는 증가하였으나 I 에 대해서는 큰 변화를 보여주지 않았다 본 실험에서 얻어진 핵종의 유효확산계수값이 $10^{-13}$ ~ $10^{-10}$ m$^2$/sec의 범위를 갖는 것으로 보아 공극확산이 핵종확산의 지배 메커니즘임이 예상되었다.

To examine among patients with vertebral compression fracture the extent to which signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values at the lumbar vertebral compression fracture site vary on diffusion-weighted MR images according to varying b values on the 1.5T MR device. Diffusion-weighted MR images of 30 patients with compression fracture due to chronic osteoporosis who underwent vertebral MRI from Jan. 2008 to Nov. 2009 were respectively obtained using a 1.5-T MR scanner with the b values increased from 400, 600, 800, 1,000 to $1,200\;s/mm^2$. For diffusion-weighted MR images with different b values, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was assessed at three sites: the site of compression fracture of the lumbar vertebral body at L1 to L5, and both the upper and lower discs of the said fracture site, while for ADC map images with different b values, the SNR and ADC were respectively assessed at those three sites. As a quantitative analysis, diffusion-weighted MR images and ADC map images with b value of $400\;s/mm^2$ (the base b values) were respectively compared with the corresponding images with each different b value. As far as qualitative analysis is concerned, for both diffusion-weighted MR and ADC map images with b value of $400\;s/mm^2$, the extent to which signal intensity values obtained at the site of compression fracture of the lumbar vertebral body at L1 to L5 vary according to the increasing b values were examined. The quantitative analysis found that for both diffusion-weighted MR and ADC map images, as the b values increased, the SNR were relatively lowered at all the three sites, compared to the base b value. Also, it was found that as the b values increased, ADC valueswere relatively lowered at all the three sites on ADC map images. On the other hand, the qualitative analysis found that as the b values increased to more than $400\;s/mm^2$, the signal intensity gradually decreased at all the sites, while at the levels of more than $1,000\;s/mm^2$, severe image noises appeared at all of the three sites. In addition, higher signal intensity was found at the site of compression fracture of the lumbar vertebral body than at the discs. Findings showed that with the b value being increased, both the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and Apparent Diffusion Coefficient (ADC) values gradually decreased at all the sites of the lumbar vertebral compression fracture and both the upper and lower discs of the fracture site, suggesting that there is a possibility of a wider range of applications to assessment of various vertebral pathologies by utilizing multi b values in the diffusion-weighted MRI examination.

Background : The single-breath carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and the per unit alveolar volume (KCO; $D_LCO/VA$) gave discordant values when there was an abnormal alveolar volume (VA). However, the clinical significance of the discordant values in patients with airflow limitation has not been examined. This study investigated the $D_LCO$ and KCO changes after improving the airflow limitation. Methods : The baseline $D_LCO$ and KCO with lung volume were measured in patients with an airflow obstruction. The effective alveolar volume was measured using the single-breath $CH_4$ dilution method. The patients divided into two groups according to the baseline values: (1) increased KCO in comparison with the $D_LCO$ (high discordance) (2) decreased or not increased KCO in comparison with the $D_LCO$ (low discordance). The diffusion capacity and lung volume were measured after treatment. Results : There was no significant difference in the baseline lung volumes including the $FEV_1$ and FVC between the two groups. The $FEV_1$ and FVC were significantly increased in the high discordance group compared with the low discordance group after treating the airflow limitation. The $D_LCO$ and alveolar volume were significant higher in the high discordance group compared with the low discordance group while the TLC was not. Conclusion : The discordance between the $D_LCO$ and KCO could be translated into an airflow reversibility in patients with an airflow limitation.

The surfactant self-diffusion coefficients of mixed micellar solutions of ionic and nonionic surfactants have been measured by the NMR pulsed field gradient spin echo(FT-PGSE) method. In addition, the line widths of $^1H$ NMR signal have been monitored. The system investgated are $C_{12}EO_5/SDS/D_2O$, $C_{12}EO_5/DTAC/D_2O$, and $C_{12}EO_8/SDS/D_2O$. In the sample series, the molar ratios of $D_2O$ to surfactant(ionic+nonionic) were kept constant while the surfactant mixing ratio was varied. For the $C_{12}EO_5$ system, the surfactant self-diffusion coefficient indicates minimum when the surfactant mixing ratio is about 20% ionic surfactant. The observed decrease in self-diffusion coefficients as nonionic surfactant was replaced by ionic surfactant is interpreted to mainly be due to an increased micelle-micelle repulsion. The increase in self-diffusion coefficients occurring at higher fraction of ionic surfactant is shown to be due to a decrease in micelle size. For the $C_{12}EO_8$ system, the effect of the surfactant mixing ratio is much weaker which can be understood by considering the molecular geometry and large headgroup area. The proton NMR line widths correlate well with the self-diffusion coefficients and broadening of the alkyl chain methylene signals is found when the self-diffusion coefficients is low.

The purpose of this study is to provide preliminary data on chloride diffusion of lightweight aggregate concrete containing crushed stone-powder. Accordingly, the study performed experiments using concrete aggregates of Crushed Aggregate (CG), Single-sized Lightweight Aggregate (SLG), Continuous Graded Lightweight Aggregate (CLG), and using water-binder ratio of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and using binder of FA and BFS. The chloride diffusion coefficient is calculated according to the NT BUILD 492. Diffusion coefficient of SLG and CLG were higher than that of CG concrete, but the difference was not significant. Also, chloride diffusion coefficient data indicated that it was highly affected by water-binder ratio, and it decreased with the decrease in waterbinder ratio. The admixture substitution of FA15% was effective in decreasing the diffusion coefficient only with water-binder ratio of 0.4 while admixture substitution of FA10+BFS20% was effective with all levels of water-binder ratio. The result of study shows lightweight aggregate concrete containing crushed stone-powder has slightly higher chloride diffusion coefficient than CG concrete, but the difference is not significant such that it can be overcome by adjusting water-binder ratio and admixture substitution. In addition, the data indicate the chloride diffusion coefficient of lightweight aggregate concrete can be estimated from the strength of lightweight aggregate.

The b-values used in DWI were 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400($s/mm^2$). Mean SNR and CNR of myoma in b-value 800 were the highest result as $84.6{\pm}4.57$(p=0.024) and $50.13{\pm}5.47$(p=0.028), Mean SNR and CNR of cervical cancer were the highest result as $12.0{\pm}2.04$(p=0.047) and $10.6{\pm}1.24$(p=0.001), Mean ADC value in myoma and cervical cancer in b-value 800 were $1.19{\times}10^{-3}mm^2/s$(p=0.008), $0.96{\times}10^{-3}mm^2/s$(p=0.027). As a qualitative analysis, the delineation and conspicuity were the highest result as $4.02{\pm}0.18$(p=0.028), $4.39{\pm}0.25$(p=0.015) on b-value 800. DW-MRI is an important method, and the optimal b values is 800 $s/mm^2$ for differentiation between benign and malignant lesions of female pelvis.

본 연구에서는 천해역에서 수평 방향으로 방류되는 비부력 원형 난류제트에 대한 수리모형실험을 수행하여, 파랑이 제트의 확산에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 수리모형실험시 대상 파랑은 진폭이 작은 규칙파를 적용하였으며, 난류제트의 순간적인 유속장은 입자화상유속계(particle image velocimetry, PIV)기법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 평균유속장은 PIV기법으로 측정된 순간유속장을 위상평균하여 계산하였으며, 파의 진폭을 변화시키며 실험을 수행하였고, 파의 진폭변화에 따른 제트의 유속분포로부터 제트의 중심선과 제트단면을 추정하였다. 제트의 중심선속도는 파의 진폭이 증가함에 따라 중심선속도의 감소 시점이 빨라졌으며, 제트의 횡단면분포의 고유특성인 자기상사성(self-similarity)이 단계적으로 사라졌다. 제트 중심선의 속도와 제트 유속 단면은 제트의 확산정도를 알 수 있는 중요한 인자로서 파랑 진폭의 크기에 따른 이들 인자의 변화로부터 파랑의 분산이 난류제트의 확산현상에 미치는 영향을 알 수 있었다.
