Objective: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the differences between sand blasted, large grit and acid-etched (SLA) treated mini-implants and smooth surface orthodontic mini-implants in relation to the removal torque as well as the histologic analysis. Methods: Custom-made, screw-shaped, titanium implants with a length of 9.5 mm and an outer diameter of 1.8 mm were divided into 2 groups; the SLA group (20 SLA treated orthodontic mini-implants) and the smooth surface group (20 smooth surface mini-implants), and placed In the tibia metaphysis of 10 rabbits. Each rabbit had 4 mini-implants placed, 2 in each tibia. The right tibia were implanted with the SLA group mini-implants and the left tibia had the smooth group mini-implants placed. Each mini-implant group were immediately applied with a continuous traction force of 150 g using a Ni-Ti coil spring. The rabbits were sacrificed 6 weeks post-surgically. Subsequently, the legs were stabilized, the Ni-Ti coil springs were removed and the mini-implants were removed under reverse torque rotation with a digital torque gauge. Results: 6 weeks after placement, the SIA group presented a higher mean removal torque value (8.29 Ncm) than the smooth group (3.34 Ncm) and histologic analysis revealed a higher new bone formation aspect along the screw in the SLA group. Conclusion: Results of this study indicates that SLA treated mini-implants may endure higher orthodontic forces without loosening.

Broiler and porcine blood plasma were desugarized by GOD (glucose oxidase 10 units/g) or baker's yeast (0.3% w/w) and dried. The color, biuret protein content, solubility, foaming capacity and pH of desugarized blood plasma powder during storage at room temperature were investigated. Desugarized plasma powder was lighter and less red and yellow than the control group (P<0.05). Biuret protein content and solubility of deglucosed plasma powder were higher than the control. Biuret protein content and solubility of all samples decreased during storage (P<0.05). Generally, deglucosed samples showed better foaming capacity than the controls (P<0.05). The pH of deglucosed broiler samples by yeast and porcine samples were decreased just after initial increasing, while the pH of other broiler powder was continuously decreased during storage. Deglucosed porcine powder always showed higher pH values than the control (P<0.05). Overall, desugatization of broiler or porcine blood plasma before drying improved color, biuet protein content, solubility and foaming capacity.

Purpose: To evaluate the changes of refractive power when worn soft contact lenses were temporarily removed. Methods: 91 soft contact lens wearers (15 males and 76 females; total 182 eyes) from 17 to 39 years of age (average: $24{\pm}4.8$ years) were participated. Objective and subjective refraction, and corneal radius were measured at 0, 30, 60 and 90 min after lens removal. The changes in refractive power were evaluated between measurements over time. The other parameters such as types of lenses, fitting and wearing conditions were also assessed. Results: Objective refraction, subjective refraction and corneal radius were significantly changed according to measured time (p<0.0001). A moderate myopic shifts was observed at the beginning (30 min after lens removal) and a slight myopic shift at the late of measurement (60 min to 90 min after lens removal). There are no significant differences between lens types, fitting states, wearing time, wearing days and sleeping time in the previous day. However, there was significant interaction in changes for corneal radius between measuring time and lens type (p=0.017), fitting state (p=0.019), and sleeping time prior to the test (p=0.010). Conclusions: Time to reach refractive and corneal radius stability after contact lens removal revealed at least more than 60 min, regardless of types of lenses, fitting and wearing conditions. Therefore, refraction for correction should be performed after waiting for more than that time as possible.

In this study, removal effect of residue pesticides on vegetable and fruit using organic acid salt in alkali solution were investigated by gas chromatography and measurement of detergency. Generally, for the removal methods of residue pesticides and oily pollution were used chemical detergent or organic solvent. Specially, in our experiment, we only used material of food additives and trisodium citrate were superior to other organic acid salt. It was investigated that removal effect of pesticides was superior to chemical detergent.

세척제는 금속 표면에 도포되어 있는 왁스, 그리스, 방청유 등의 윤활유 및 금속 가공 중에 사용한 절삭유, 연마유 등의 유지성 물질을 제거하는 탈지 효과와 표면에 묻어 있는 오물을 제거하는 목적으로 우수한 세정력을 지니고 있다. 세척제는 현장의 세척조의 상태가 가동 시간이 길어짐에 따라 유분이 과포화하게 되고 한정된 계면활성제량 때문에 미처 Micelle을 형성하지 못한 광유중 일부는 에멀젼 내 Oil Drop 형태로 존재하고 나머지는 에멀젼층 위에 부유하게 된다. 따라서 세척제의 세정력을 유지하기 위하여는 주기적으로 세척액중의 유분을 제거하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 한외여과막을 이용하여 세척수 중 존재하는 Oil 성분을 제거함으로써 세척수의 수명을 극대화시키고자 한다. 또한 한외여과시 동반되는 농도 분극화 현상을 줄이고 투과특성을 향상시키기 위하여 압축질소로 주기적으로 역세척하며 최적운전 조건을 확인하는데 있다.

We have studied a denoising technique involving wavelet transform for improving the quality of geophysical data during the preprocessing stage. To assess the effectiveness of this technique, we have made synthetic data contaminated by random noises and compared the results of denoising with those obtained by conventional low-pass filtering. The low-pass filtering of the sinusoidal signal having a sharp discontinuity between the first and last sample values shows apparent errors related to Gibbs' phenomena. For the case of bump signal, the low-pass filtering induces maximum errors on peak values by removing some high-frequency components of signal itself. The wavelet transform technique, however, denoises these signals with much less adverse effects owing to its pertinent properties on locality of wavelet and easy discrimination of noise and signal in the wavelet domain. The field data of gravity tide are denoised by using soft threshold, which shrinked all the wavelet coefficients toward the origin, and the G-factor is determined by comparing the denoised data and theoretical data.

As the lives of people have improved, the demand for improved indoor air quality has increased. Various methods are used to remove biological air pollutants, such as UV/photocatalytic devices and ozone generators. However, these methods have disadvantages such as energy consumption, high corrosivity and toxicity. To overcome these disadvantages, an antibacterial copper filter was fabricated and its antimicrobial activity was then tested against two fungi (P. pinophilum, C. globosum) and one bacteria (S. aureus) Moreover, the ability to remove suspended microorganisms was tested step by step from the chamber stage to the air conditioning system. The results revealed 100% antimicrobial activity after 24 hours for the two fungi, while this value was 99.9% after 18 hours for the bacteria. Moreover, the antibacterial activity was higher when the chamber and air purifier were used than was obtained using a general antibacterial HEPA filter. Also, as a filter for system air conditioner, the antibacterial activity was lowered in offices and hospitals. In conclusion, the copper filter was found to have sufficient antibacterial activity for use as an antibacterial filter; however, further research on its preparation methods and materials is warranted.
