To prepare acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs), quaternary copolymer syrups were photopolymerized from 2-ethylhexyl acrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate as default constituents and isobornyl acrylate and tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (THFA) as variable constituents. After polymerization, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate and photoinitiator were added and then crosslinked by UV-irradiation to prepare the PSAs. The characteristics of the syrup such as viscosity, molecular weight, and solid content were investigated. As increasing THFA contents, the relationship between molecular weight and solid content of the syrup was reciprocal. Also, the relationship between peel strength and surface energy of the PSAs showed the same tendency. All the PSA samples showed high transmittance (more than 92%), low haze (less than 1.0%) and low color-difference (less than 1.0).

The transit time of contrast agents and the parameters of time-intensity curves in ultrasonography are important factors to diagnose various diseases of a digestive organ. We have implemented an automatic parametric imaging method to overcome the difficulty of the diagnosis by naked eyes. However, the micro-bubble noise and the respiratory motions may degrade the reliability of the parameter images. In this paper, we introduce an optimization technique based on MRF(Markov Random Field) model to enhance the quality of the parameter images, and present an image tracking algorithm to compensate the image distortion by respiratory motions. A method to extract the respiration periods from the ultrasound image sequence has been developed. We have implemented the ROI(Region of Interest) tracking algorithm using the dynamic weights and a momentum factor based on these periods. An energy function is defined for the Gibbs sampler of the image enhancement method. Through the experiments using the data to diagnose liver lesions, we have shown that the proposed method improves the quality of the parametric images.

This paper proposes image processing techniques that improve usability and performance in a diagnostic system of the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. For a methodology for visualizing diagnostic parameter data in an ultrasonic medical image, an expression of transition time data with successive pixel values and a method of generating a lesion diagnostic parameter image with four categorized values are presented. We also introduce a MRF-based image enhancement technique to eliminate noises from generated parametric images. Such parametric image generation technique can overcome the difficulty of discriminating dynamic change in patterns in the ultrasonography. The technique clarifies the contour of the region in the original image and facilitates visual determination of the characteristics of the lesion through four colors. With regard to this MRF-based image enhancement, we define the energy function of consecutive pixel values and develop a technique to optimize it, and the usability of the proposed theory is examined through experiments with medical images.

A numerical model based on the wide-angle parabolic approximation equation is developed for the accurate simulation of the directional spreading and partial breaking of irregular waves. This model disintegrates the irregular waves into a series of monochromatic wave components, and the simultaneous calculations are made for each wave component. Then, the computed wave components are superposed to get the wave height of irregular waves. To consider the partial breaking of irregular waves in the computation the amount of energy dissipation due to breaking is estimated using the superposed wave height. The accuracy of the developed model is tested by comparing the numerical results with the experimental measurements reported earlier. In the case of non-breaking waves a considerable accuracy of the model is observed for both regular and irregular waves. On the contrary it is found that the accuracy is significantly degenerated for the case of breaking waves. Some analyses for the accuracy degeneration are presented.

In order to represent the surface characteristics in local meteorological model, soil type, vegetation index, surface roughness length, surface albedo and leaf area index should be prescribed on the surface process parameterization. In this study, the $1^{\circ}/1^{\circ}leaf$ area index, surface roughness length, and snow free surface albedo and fine mesh NDVI with seasonal variation derived from the satellite observation were applied to the land surface process parameterization. From comparison between with and without satellite data in the interactions between biosphere and atmosphere, land and atmosphere, the sensitivity of the simulated heat, energy and water vapor fluxes, ground temperature, wind, canopy water content, specific humidity, and precipitation fields were investigated.

Most of the spatial scattered dose caused by the scattered rays generated by the collision between the object and X-rays is relatively easily absorbed by the human body as electromagnetic waves in the low energy region, thereby increasing the degree of radiation exposure. Such spatial scattering dose is also used as an indicator of the degree of radiation exposure of radiation workers and patients, and there is a need for a method to reduce exposure by reducing the spatial scattered dose that occurs indirectly. Therefore, in this study, a lead-free radiation shielding sheet was proposed as a way to reduce the spatial scattering dose, and a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed based on a chest X-ray examination. The absorbed dose was calculated and the measured value and the shielding rate were compared and evaluated.

In the initial stages of oxidation of Si(111)-7${\times}$7 held at 40K through exposing molecular oxygen, it has been detected average work-function measured by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS) is about 0.4eV higher than the local work-function of the modified area measured by photoemission for adsorbed Xenon (PAX). This result indicates that the increment of work-function at the initial oxidation stages of Si(111)-7${\times}$7 is mainly due to the moleculary adsorbed oxygen. From the shift of broadened Xe 5p and Xe 3d, it has also been estimated that the work-function of the modified area is 0.6eV higher than that of the clean area.

For evaluation of durability of low vacuum pumps, it is required to examine the performance and degradation of low vacuum pumps. Pump degradation may result from abnormalities associated with the performance in many areas of pump operation. The diagnostics method can be used to monitor the pump performance in the semi-conductor process line. Based on the mechanical defect of the pump, the dynamic response and reliability of the system for performance test, and the dynamic characteristics of the pump were experimentally assessed. The theoretical work rate for the compression process in the pump was calculated, and then the efficiency of the pump associated with the power consumption was evaluated. This analysis will be useful in detecting pump degradation with increasing the power consumption. To determine the predominant factors of pump degradation, it is important to evaluate the entire pumping system. We studied vibration, dynamic pressure, pumping speed, and power consumption of low vacuum pumps. Our results can be utilized for the future research on the evaluating technology of durability of low vacuum pumps.

현재 조선소를 비롯하여 각종 산업 전반적으로 기존의 SCR 용접기를 대체하여 용접품질이 우수한 인버터 용접기가 널리 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 기존 인버터 용접기의 전원은 Mono 타입으로 이루어져 있어 대용량 인버터 용접기의 경우 대용량 스위칭 소자가 요구되어 제조원가가 높다. 그리고 문제 발생 시 용접기의 사용이 불가능하게 된다. 개발된 단위모듈을 병렬로 연결하여 대용량 용접기를 구성하게 되면 제조원가를 절감할 수 있으며 병렬로 연결되어 단위 모듈에 문제가 발생하여도 계속적인 사용이 가능하고, 주 회로를 작은 용량으로 분산시켜 전력을 제어하므로 높은 에너지 효율을 가지게 된다. 또한 인버터 용접기의 가장 중요한 성능인 스위칭 주파수에 있어서도 기존의 인버터 용접기는 20kHz의 스위칭 주파수를 가지지만 본 기술은 낮은 전력을 병렬로 연결하여 대용량을 동시에 제어가능 하므로 약 70kHz의 고속제어가 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 용량 170A단위모듈을 병렬로 연결하여 단위모듈 집적형 인버터 아크용접기 510A, 680A급의 부하테스트 실시 및 기본출력특성에 대하여 실험하였으며, GMAW에서 ${\Phi}1.6$ 솔리드 와이어를 이용하여 두께 20t의 후판 맞대기 용접에 적용실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 모든 전류영역에서의 부하특성 및 출력특성이 양호하게 나타났으며, 후판 맞대기 용접에서는 SAW에 버금가는 생산성과 용접특성을 얻을 수 있었다.

Peroxidase from Jerusalem artichoke tubers, which might be related to browning reaction, was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-cellulose and Sephacryl S-200 chromatography. The optimum pH of the purified peroxidase was 5.0 and relatively stable at pH $5.0{\sim}6.0$ using substrate of p-phenylenediamine and $H_2O_2$. D-values for thermal inactivation at 60, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$ were 86, 45 and 33 sec, respectively. Activation energy was 4,111 J/mole. The enzyme showed the most sensitive specificity of substrate for p-phenylenediamine. The compounds such as 1mM potassium cyanide, 10mM sodium diethyldithiocarbamate, L-ascorbic acid, sodium hydrosulfite and L-cysteine inhibited completely while 1mM of $Ca^{2+}\;and\;Cu^{2+}$ activated the purified peroxidase.
