The characteristics of the lithium niobate single ($LiNbO_3$) crystals grown doped with $Mg^{2+}$ or $Zn^{2+}$ ions, which are well-known as the ions improving the photorefractive resistance of $LiNbO_3$, have been analysed in comparision with those of undoped $LiNbO_3$ crystal. In particular, $Zn^{2+}$ doping was estimated to increase the photorefractive resistance indirectly from the optical and electrical properties. Therefore, the $LiNbO_3$ crystals doped with ZnO could be used for high intensive laser device application.

최근 교통량의 증가에 의해 직접 하중을 부담하는 교량바닥판의 손상이 심각한문제로 부각되고 있다. 더욱이 차량하중의 증가는 바닥판손상을 더욱 가속화시키고 있는 실정이다. 바닥판의 손상이 심한 경우에는 교체 또는 성능개선공사를 시행하게 되는데, 이때 기존의 현장타설바닥판이 갖는 단점을 보완할 수 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 공기단축, 품질확보 등의 측면에서 매우 효과적인 대체공법이 될 수 있다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 기존의 현장타설바닥판과달리 바닥판간에 이음부를 갖는 구조적 특징이 있으며, 다양한응력상태에 있는 바닥판중에 존재하는 비연속부인 이음부와 콘크리트 부재사이의 원활한 하중전달을 위해 부착강도는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이음부의 부착강도를 함리적으로 평가할 수 있는 새로운 실험방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 휨, 직접인장 및 전단실험을 수행하였다. 또한 구성재료에 대한 압축, 휨인장 및 할렬인장강도 특성도 평가하였 다. 부착 및 강도특성에 관한 실험결과, 제안된 실험방법을 이용하면 실제에 근접한 부착강도를 평가할 수 있으며 국내에서 사용되는 충전재료중 무수축모르터가 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판간 이음부의 채움재로서의 기본요건을 만족하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

쇼트피닝 기술은 크게 피로강도 향상을 위한 쇼트피닝(shot peening), 재료의 청정 및 도장 품질 향상을 위한 쇼트블라스트(shot blast) 그리고 쇼트피닝 시 판재의 변형되는 성질을 이용한 핀포밍(peen forming) 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 그 중 본 연구에서는 해양산업 분야에서 널리 사용되는 회주철의 효과적인 내구성 향상을 위해 쇼트피닝 기술을 적용하였다. 그러나 쇼트피닝 기술 적용에 있어서 가장 중요한 것은 제품의 균일성, 정확성, 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 쇼트피닝 강도를 제어하는 여러 가지 변수들에 대하여 최적 상태를 유지하는 것이다. 따라서 회주철에 대한 최적 쇼트피닝 분사조건 규명작업은 반드시 쇼트피닝 가공 전에 수반되어야만 한다. 그 일환으로 실험은 쇼트피닝 분사시간과 분사압력을 변수로 하여 회주철 표면에 적용하였으며, 기계적 특성 평가를 통해 최적의 쇼트피닝 조건을 규명하고자 하였다. 쇼트피닝 분사조건에 따른 회주철의 내구성을 평가하기 위해 캐비테이션 실험을 실시하였으며, 경도 측정, 횡단면 관찰 및 표면의 3D 현미경 관찰 등을 통해 기계적 특성을 분석하였다. 캐비테이션 실험은 ASTM G32 규정에 의거하여 천연해수 내 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $50{\mu}m$의 진폭으로 실시하였다. 실험 후에는 주사전자현미경으로 손상표면을 관찰하였으며, 손상 정도를 비교하기 위해 무게 감소량을 계측하여 상호 비교/분석하였다.

In wireless communication systems, transmission errors degrade the reconstructed image quality severely. Among various techniques which reduce the degradation, the error concealment technique yields good performance without overheads and the modification of the encoder. In this paper, we have proposed the technique for recovering the corrupted motion vector using the edge direction of blocks which surround the corrupted block, when the video information is compressed by H.263 standard. We uses the property that each object in video sequences shows the same motion. For the estimation of edge directions, the first AC coefficients of blocks are used. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed technique yields good performance with a reduced computational complexity.

Background: High-dose chemotherapy is increasingly employed in many refractory malignant diseases. This therapy has been reported to increase response rate and survival benefits but it is also associated with higher treatment-related morbidity and mortality. We evaluated clinical characteristics and course of the pulmonary toxicity following high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Methods: Ninety-seven patients who had received high-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation were evaluated. Five patients who developed lung lesions which were not related to infection nor primary malignant disease underwent transbronchial lung biopsy. The patients' clinical characteristics, treatments, and prognosis were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Five patients(5.1%) developed idiopathic pneumonia syndrome. The high dose chemotherapy regimens employed were cyclophosphamide, BCNU, and cisplatin in 3 cases, one case of BCNU, etoposide, Ara-C, and cyclophosphamide combination, and a regimen consisting of BCNU, etoposide, Ara-C, and melphalan. The total dose of BCNU used was 300-400 mg/$m^2$ and that of cyclophosphsmide was 6,000 mg/$m^2$. All of 5 patients received radiation therapy before this treatment. After an average duration of 14 weeks (4-26 weeks) of high-dose chemotherapy, patients developed cough, dyspnea and fever. The chest X-rays showed bilateral diffuse infiltration in 3 cases and the focal infiltration in the other 2 cases. All the patients received corticosteroid therapy as a treatment for the lung lesions. Two of them progressed to acute respiratory distress syndrome and died. Three patients recovered without residual lung lesion but one of them died of dilated cardiomyopathy. Conclusion: High-dose chemotherapy with peripheral blood stem cell transplantation especially which containing BCNU regimen may develop idiopathic pneumonia syndrome related to pulmonary toxicity and corticosteroid therapy may be bel1eficial in some cases.

Purpose : To find out the myocardial protective effect of cardioxane for the myocardial damage by doxorubicin. Methods : Using Eighteen rabbits(2.0-3.2 kg), doxorubicin($30mg/m^2$) was injected intravenously once a week in group I(12 rabbits) and cardioxane($600mg/m^2$) was injected at 20-30 minutes before doxorubicin administration in group II(6 rabbits). After this, we operated on the rabbits when the total cumulative dose of doxorubicin was reached at 210, 240, 270 and $300mg/m^2$ and observed the degree of myocardial damage with light and electronic microscope. Results : In group I, rabbits with less than $210mg/m^2$ of total cumulative dose of doxorubicin, there was no definite myocardial damage but with $240mg/m^2$, focal degenerative change was observed and with $300mg/m^2$, severe degenerative change was detected with light microscopic examination. With electronic microscope, rabbits with less than $180mg/m^2$ of total cumulative dose of doxorubicin in group I, there was no evidence of myocardial damage. In $210mg/m^2$, focal degenerative change was detected. With $240mg/m^2$, degenerative change was much more advanced and with $300mg/m^2$, severe degenerative change was detected. In group II, no definite myocardial damage was observed even though the total cumulative dose of doxorubicin reached $300mg/m^2$, but with $360mg/m^2$, there was a focal area where myocardial fibers were somewhat decreased, but it's difficult to say whether these decrement were due to adriamycin in the electronic microscopic examination. Conclusion : Cardioxane have a good protective effect for the doxorubicin induced cardiomyopathy and it will be used safely in pediatric cancer patients.

Phellinus linteus (PL) has been known to exhibit potent biological activity. The present study was designed to investigate lipase-inhibitory and anti-oxidative activity of the methanol extract and the powder of PL fruiting body. The methanol extract of PL appeared to have the inhibitory activity against pancreatic lipase with an $IC_{50}$ value of $36.3\;{\mu}g/mL$, and the scavenging activity of DPPH radical with an $IC_{50}$ value of $20.1\;{\mu}g/mL$, which was similar to that of vitamin C ($IC_{50}\;18.3\;{\mu}g/mL$). To investigate the lipase-inhibitory and anti-oxidative effect of PL on animal, Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with high-fat diet supplemented with either 2% or 5% PL powder for 8 weeks. Total food intake was significantly increased, but body weight was not changed by PL powder supplementation. However, fecal fat excretion of the experimental groups fed with the PL powder were higher than that of the control group. PL powder showed a decrease in the plasma total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and the hepatic total cholesterol levels. The anti-oxidative enzyme activities were also affected by PL supplementation. Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in the plasma and liver were significantly increased by 98% and 46% in the 2% PL group, and 99% and 32% in the 5% PL group, respectively. Total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) activity was not affected by PL supplementation. DNA damage was measured by the comet assay in the lymphocytes collected after 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks of feeding PL supplemented diet. Lymphocyte DNA damage was decreased in the PL supplemented group. Furthermore, PL feeding enhanced the resistance to lymphocyte DNA damage caused by an oxidant challenge with $H_2O_2$.

식생피복(Vegetation cover)은 대기 중의 강우와 토양 사이에서 침식으로부터 표토를 보호하는 역할을 한다. 자유 낙하하는 강우의 물방울은 식생을 통과하면서 차단(interception), 수관통과(throughfall), 수간유하(stemflow)의 형태로 변화한다. 식생은 강우입자의 운동에너지와 수량을 감소시키고, 지표면에 도달하는 시간을 지연시킴에 따라 지표유출(overland flow) 저감에 기여한다. 유출수의 흐름과정에서 식물의 줄기, 낙엽, 뿌리 등은 유속을 감소시키는 장애물로 작용하여 궁극적으로 토양침식은 감소한다. 토양침식은 식생피복이 증가함에 따라 일반적으로 감소하며, 지수함수의 관계를 갖는다. 식생의 종류와 구조 그리고 잎의 모양 등에 따라 수문물리적인 반응이 달라진다. 캐노피를 갖는 지상식물(canopy cover plant)은 물방울의 운동에너지를 갖는 반면, 지피식물(ground cover plant)은 낙하고가 작기 때문에 운동에너지는 적으며, 특히 낙엽층은 지표면을 보호하여 토양침식의 저감효과가 더욱 크다. 산불지역의 식생피복에 따른 토양침식 측정 자료에 따르면, 강우운동에너지는 식생피복이 증가함에 따라 지상피복(canopy cover)에 의한 감소보다는 지면피복(ground cover)과 낙엽피복(litter cover)에 의한 감소효과가 상대적으로 컸다. 식생피복에 의해 차단되는 강우의 손실량보다 침투량 증가에 의한 손실량이 상대적으로 많았다. 낙엽피복에 대한 강우모의 실험 결과에 따르면, 낙엽의 피복율이 증가함에 따라 지수적으로 토양침식량은 감소하였다. 낙엽 피복율의 40% 이상은 토양침식량을 현격이 감소시킨 반면, 피복율의 70% 이상은 지표유출량을 현저히 감소시켰다. 낙엽 피복율이 70%이상이면, 유출계수가 33%가 감소하였으나, 토양침식민감도는 94%로 크게 감소하였다.

Fracture behaviors of an interface crack in a ductile layer sandwiched by rigid substrates are analyzed by finite element method. Several fracture mechanisms and the corresponding criteria are examined. And the crack growth behavior and fracture toughness are predicted. As the results, various crack growth procedures such as the crack jump to the other interface on the opposite side, the creation of a new crack far from the initial crack front, and the asymmetric relation of fracture toughness vs. mode mixity ($J_c$-$\Phi$) can be successfully explained.
