Purpose : To demonstrate that the relaxographic method provides additional information such as the distribution of relaxation times and water content which are poentially applicable to clinical medicine. Materials and Methods : First, the computer simulation was performed with the generated relaxation data to verify the accuracy and reliabilility of the relaxographic method (CONTINI). Secondly, in or der to see how well the CONTIN quantifies and resolves the two different ${T_1}$ environments, we calculated the oil to water peak area ratios and identified peak positions of ${T_1}-distribution$ curve of the phantom solutions, which consist of four centrifugal tubes (10 ml) filled with the compounds of 0, 10, 20, 30% of corn oil and distilled water, using CONTIN. Finally, inversion recovery MR images for a volunteer are acquired for each TI ranged from 40 to 1160 msec with TR/TE=2200/20 msec. From the 3 different ROIs (GM, WM, CSF), CONTIN analysis was performed to obtain the ${T_1}$-distribution curves, which gave peak positions and peak area of each ROI location. Results : The simulation result shows that the errors of peak positions were less in the higher peak (centered ${T_1}=600$ msec) than in the lower peak (centered ${T_1}=150$ msec) for all SNR but the errors of peak areas were larger in the higher peak than in the lower peak. The CONTIN analysis of the measured relaxation data of phantoms revealed two peaks between 20 and 60 msec and between 500 and 700 msec. The analysis gives the peak area ratio as oil 10%: oil 20%: oil 30% = 1:1.3:1.9, which is different from the exact ratio, 1:2:3. For human brain, in ROI 3 (CSF), only one component of -distributions was observed whereas in ROI 1(GM) and in ROI 2 (WM) we observed two components of ${T_1}-distribution$. For the WM and CSF there was great agreement between the observed ${T_1}-relaxation$ times and the reported values. Conclusion : we demonstrated that the relaxographic method provided additional information such as the distribution of relaxation times and water content, which were not available in the routine relaxometry and ${T_1}/{T_2}$ mapping techniques. In addition, these additional information provided by relaxographic analysis may have clinical importance.

The purpose of this study is to collect the psychological responses that occur while watching TV home shopping ads in verbal form, and explore the possibility of measuring the effectiveness of TV home shopping ads using linguistic analysis. The psychological responses during watching positive and negative ads of participants(40 housewives and female college students) were collected in a linguistic form using a think aloud and self-report measurement. It was analyzed by KLIWC, a Korean language analysis program. As a result of the analysis, there was a difference in psychosocial variables as well as linguistic variables between positive and negative evaluation ads. Also, various variables of KLIWC were correlated with the variables of advertising effectiveness (purchase stimulus, ad attitude, product attitude, purchase intention) and advertising response variables. This suggests the possibility of constructing a psychological response profile and measurement of advertising effectiveness using language analysis.

This study examined the potential mediating mechanisms underlying the association between peer victimization and school adjustment. 521 children in the fifth and sixth grades were recruited from primary schools in Korea. Peer nomination and self-reports were used to measure peer victimization, cognitive representations, and school avoidance. Academic achievement records were obtained from official school records. The findings indicated that peer victimization contributed to school avoidance and academic achievement by different pathways. The association between peer victimization and school avoidance was indirectly mediated by perceptions of the self and peers. In contrast, peer victimization was directly associated with academic achievement.

반도체형 가스센서의 가스 감응은 산화물 표면과 주변 가스와의 화학적 반응에 기인한 것이므로 나노 크기의 감응물질 입자를 합성하여 비표면적을 넓히려는 연구가 많이 진행되어 왔다. 일반적으로 감응 물질의 크기가 나노 스케일로 감소하면 가스 감응 특성이 증가하지만, 심한 응집으로 가스 확산이 어려워 가스 감응 특성이 저하되게 된다. 따라서 비표면적이 크면서도 응집이 덜한 나노 구조체가 산화물 가스 센서에 이용되어 왔다. 특히 중공구조는 응집이 적고 가스확산이 용이하며 큰 비표면적을 가지기 때문에 널리 연구되어진 나노구조체이다. 한편 산화철은 친환경적인 n-type 반도체로써 에너지 저장소, 촉매, 리튬-이온 배터리의 양극물질, 가스센서 등의 응용분야에 널리 이용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Solvothermal에 의한 자기조립 방법으로 산화철 중공구조를 합성하고 기능화를 위해 귀금속 촉매인 Pt를 첨가하였다. $400^{\circ}C$에서 에탄올 가스에 대한 가스 감응 측정을 통해 대조군인 산화철 응집체와 나노 스케일의 구에 비해 중공구조가 가스 감응에 유리함을 보고한다.

무전해 도금은 금속이온을 수용액 상태에서 석출시키는 방법으로서 전기를 사용하지 않고 환원제의 자기촉매 방법에 의해 금속을 도금하는 방법이다. 두께를 확보하기 위한 화학적 무전해 도금에서는 환원제를 사용하지만 선택적 도금에서는 환원제를 사용하지 않는 치환도금법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 최근 전자파 차폐, 포장기술의 응용이 확대되면서 정보 통신 스마트폰, 전자기술과 자동차 산업에 많은 고분자 복합도금이 널리 확대되고 있다. 최근 해외에서도 고분자와 비금속재료의 복합도금 기술이 관심을 끌고 있다. 2013년 중국의 J. B. Fei 등은 Ag나노체인 합성물에 필요한 비대칭형의 공유결합으로써 나선형의 자기배열 $AgNO_3$와 멜라민 특성을 보고하였다. 무전해 니켈 복합도금은 내마모성, 내식성과 비금속재료의 선택적인 첨가로 다양한 고분자 첨가물을 적용할 수 있다. 유전상수가 낮고 열적 안정성이 우수하여 노트북 컴퓨터나 스마트폰 표면에 니켈-폴리이미드 복합도금도 개발되고 있다.

기계적 합금화방법을 이용 실온에서 철분말의 질화물을 얻을 수 있다. 이때 얻어진 준안정 철질화물은 질소농도가 14.9[at. %N]이하에서는 bcc 구조의 과포화 고용체가, 그리고 19.4[at. %N]이상에서는 고온상인 hcp 구조임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 bcc상의 Fe원자당 Volume은 문헌에 보고된 N-martensite의 것보다 작은 값을 나타내었다. 제조된 철질화물의 실온 포화 자화값은 질소농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 이 결과는 bct 구조의 철질화물에서 질소농도가 증가함에 따라 자화값이 증가하는 것과 대조적이었다.

Using an electrolyte additive, we examined, for the first time, a novel self-ordering regime of 160~200 V in high-field anodization which had been used for a fast fabrication of self-ordered anodic alumina nanotemplate. FE-SEM analyses conducted after the high-field anodization, pulse detachment and chemical widening of pores showed the relationship of 2.2 nm/V in this voltage range, which was identical to the previously reported one in the literature. The growth rate of the alumina film was about 60 um/hr, which was 30 times faster than that of phosphoric acid mild anodization. This study provides a new process for the fast fabrication of nanotemplates with interpore distances larger than 300 nm.

There are no many research reports on the preparation of ZnO by electrochemical oxidation since the zinc oxide is very easily dissolved in an acidic or basic environment, even though zinc oxides have attracted many attentions because of their optical/electrical properties. In this paper, we describe the fabrication of self-ordered stripes of ZnO by anodization of Zn in an ethanolic sulfuric acid. The formation of stripes of ZnO originating from Zn is attributed to water-selective dissolution of ZnO during anodization. We study in detail the effects of concentration of $H_2SO_4$, applied potential, anodization time, and addition of a small amount of water on the fabrication of stripes of ZnO. Mechanisms for the fabrication of ZnO stripes are discussed in terms of the above-mentioned effects.

We report the magneto-transport properties of an individual single crystalline Bi nanowire grown by a spontaneous growth method. We have successfully fabricated a four-terminal device based on an individual 400-nm-diameter nanowire using plasma etching technique to remove an oxide layer forming on the outer surface of the nanowire. The transverse MR (2496% at 110 K) and longitudinal MR ratios (38% at 2 K) for the Bi nanowire were found to be the largest known values in Bi nanowires. This result demonstrates that the Bi nanowires grown by the spontaneous growth method are the highest-quality single crystalline in the literatures ever reported. We find that temperature dependence of Fermi energy ($E_F$) and band overlap (${\triangle}_0$) leads to the imbalance between electron concentration ($n_e$) and hole concentration ($n_h$) in the Bi nanowire, which is good agreement with the calculated $n_e\;and\;n_h$ from the respective density of states, N(E), for electrons and holes. We also find that the imbalance of $n_e\;and\;n_h$ plays a crucial role in determining magnetoresistance (MR) at T<75 K for $R_T$ and at T<205 K for $R_L$, while mean-free path is responsible for MR at T>75 K for $R_T$ and T>205 K for $R_L$.

Ganglionic cyst formation within the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) of knee has not been reported. We describe a case of an intraligamentous ganglionic cyst of PCL. Arthroscopic technique through both the posteromedial and posterolateral portals was used for approach. Using probe, PCL was splitted and perforated ganglionic cyst at tibial attachement side. At 2 years follow up, the patient was free of symptoms with a full range of motion and follow-up MR image showed that there was no recurred ganglionic cyst.
