PZT powders were prepared by the molten salt synthesis method. The porous PZT ceramics were made from a mixture of PZT and polyvinylalcohol(PVA) by BURPS(Bumout Plastic Sphere) technique. The 3-3 type composites were fabricated by impregnating an sintered porous PZT ceramics with various polymer matrices. The relative permittivity of 3-3 type composite specimens was shown 860-1,100 smaller than that of solid PZT ceramics(2,100), and the dissipation factors of composite specimens were about 0.02 to 0.03. The piezoelectric coefficient d$_{33}$ of composite specimens(285-328*10$^{12}$ C/N) was comparable with that of single phase PZT specimens(364*10$^{-12}$ C/N). The thickness mode coupling factor k$_{t}$(O.5-0.6) of composite specimens was comparable with that of single phase PZT specimens(k$_{t}$-0.7), and the mechanical quality factor of composite specimens was smaller than 10, and thus these 3-3 type composite specimens would be believed as a good candidates for broad band transducer applications.ons.

An ultrasonic machining process has been known as efficient and economical means fer precision machining of glass or ceramic materials. However, because of its complexity, the mechanism of the machining process is still not well understood. Therefore, it is hard to optimize the process parameters effectively. The conventional ultrasonic machining which uses the abrasive slurry only, furthermore, is time-consuming and gives the relatively rough surface. In order to increase the material removal rate and improve the integrity of the machined surface, we have introduced the novel ultrasonic machining technique, Chemical-assisted UltraSonic Machining(CUSM). The desktop-style micro ultrasonic machine has been developed and the z-axis feed is controlled by the constant load control algorithm. To obtain the chemical effects, the low concentration HF(hydrofluoric acid) solution, which erodes glass, added to alumina slurry. Through various experiments and comparison with conventional results, the superiority of CUSM is verified. MRR increases over 200%, the surface roughness is improved and the machining load decreases dramatically.

The application of the ultrasonic nozzle has been extended because it is possible atomization of liquid material. In this study, the characteristics of the ultrasonic nozzle and ceramic oscillator were investigated. The oscillator for the ultrasonic nozzle were made piezoelectric ceramic of Pb[($Sb_{1/2}$ $Nb_{1/2}$)$_{0.035}$-($Mn_{1/3}$$Nb_{2/3}$)$_{0.065}$-($Zr_{0.49}$$Ti_{0.51}$)$_{0.90}$]$O_3$. The electromechanical coupling factor($k_p$) and mechanical quality factor(Qm) showed the values of 0.555, 1, 214 respectively when the Zr/Ti ratio was 49/51. Moreover, this oscillator will have the temperature stability because it's curie temperature is 322[$^{\circ}C$]. The driving current of ultrasonic nozzle showed the value of 80[mA] when the driving time was lO[min.]. Also, The surface temperature of ceramic oscillator showed 80[$^{\circ}C$] at driving time lO[min.] We knew that the ultrasonic nozzle had stabile driving above 10[min.].

미세 물질을 포함하고 있는 광산 폐기물의 디워터링 과정(dewatering process)은 작은 입자들의 침전속도가 낮기 때문에 시간이 오래 걸리고 어려운 과정이다. 따라서 광산 폐기물이 안정적으로 침전되었는지 확인하기 위해서 디워터링 과정을 연속적으로 모니터링하는 기술이 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 kaolinite, illite, bentonite 3 종류의 점토를 3 가지 농도(0.1g/L, 1g/L, 5g/L)로 나눠서 초음파 음향 감지를 이용해 후방산란 신호를 측정했다. 그리고 측정된 신호를 활용하여 합성곱 신경망(CNN) 모델을 개발하여 점토의 분류 모델을 만드는 연구를 수행했다. 본 연구에서 보여준 CNN 의 높은 정확도는 광산 폐기물의 디워터링 과정에서 미세 광물과 미세 농도 분류 모니터링에 적합한 저렴하고 측정하기 쉬운 음향 감지의 사용 가능성을 입증했다.

In diagnostic ultrasound, the quality of image affect to diagnose. To maintain suboptimal imaging uniformly, Quality Assurance of Ultrasound equipment should take periodically. This is article about examination the quality of image in diagnostic ultrasound to understand conditions of probes in hospitals. There is comparative study of convex and linear probes on ultrasound using tissue-mimicking phantom included simulated cysts, echogenic structures. The ultrasonic attenuation coefficient versus frequency of 0.5 dB is representative of normal liver and 0.7 dB is representative of fatty liver condition in ultrasound phantom. There are results of convex probe, 0.5 dB, vertical group, cystic masses, high contrast masses are mostly shown but 0.7 dB, mid level in vertical group, cystic masses and high contrast masses are nearly visible. In linear probe, 0.5 dB, mid level in vertical group, two or four of them are shown in cystic masses and high contrast masses but there are not visible in 11 of cases. 0.7 dB, there are mostly appear under 6 in vertical group, two or four of them show in cystic masses and high contrast masses and there are not shown in 40 of cases, besides. Linear probes in fatty liver condition of ultrasound instrument are not good in the quality of image practically. So there needs to be replace and fix of probes. Actually management of ultrasound probes is inadequate in hospitals. So if there are program of evaluation to check probes periodically in hospitals from establishment of the ultrasound equipment, there will get better image and have a suitable condition of instruments further more.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of four different cleaning method of silk and to fabrics, which were excavated from the sixteenth century tombs. The four cleaning methods were hand washing in water and hand washing in solvent, washing in ultrasonic cleaner, and using of ultrasonic gun after washing in ultrasonic cleaner. The following is the result of the experiment: ㆍBoth silk and jute fabrics shrank the most after hand-wash in water. This cleaning method decreased their thickness the most but changed their strength the least. However, the color of the fabric changed the most after had-wash in water. This washing method might discolor the dyed fabric, so one must check the condition of the fabric thoroughly before washing it. ㆍThe weight and the thickness of the fabric changed little after ultrasonic cleaning. This cleaning method, therefore. is less efficient than hand-water-wash. The use of ultrasonic gun after ultrasonic wash for partial cleansing enhanced the efficiency a little. Nevertheless, this method left stain around the area where the gun was used, and the injected water could damage the fabric. ㆍThe excavated fabric became softer in the cleaning process as the dirt was washed away. In both cases of silk and jute fabrics cleaning, solvent made the fabric softer than water. Washed in solvent, the fabric did not swell. But water penetrated to the fiber during the cleaning process and made the fabric swell. When the water evaporates, the swollen fiber structure collapses and the fabric become stiff. Ultrasonic wash did not cause much change in the flexibility of the fabric, for this method does not remove the dirt as effectively as the other method.

To describe the background, mechanism, clinical results and complications of prolotheapy based on the literature review. Prolotherapy is a minimally invasive injection-based treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain, including ligament and joint laxity. The mechanism of this injection-based technique is to initiate a local inflammatory response with resultant tissue healing. The used proliferants are classified by bio-mechanism to act in three different ways as osmotic, irritants, and chemotatics. The most commonly used proliferant is hyperosmolar (10~25%) dextrose to act by osmotic rupture of cells. High resolution ultrasound imaging of musculoskeletal structure provide a more accurate diagnosis. Also ultrasound-guided intervention provides a more high efficacy and low rate of complications. The most common complication is local pain at the injected site, that is self-limited and good responsive to anti-inflammatory agents. Other complications are rare. It is reported that prolotherapy appears safe when performed by an experienced clinician. Prolotherapy has grown in popularity and has received significant recent attention. However there are limited evidence-based data supporting the indication and efficacy of prolotherapy in the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal pain or soft tissue injuries. Future studies are necessary to determine whether prolotherapy can play an independent and definitive role in a treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain.

In this study, a sample preparation method and a simultaneous determination method by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry for 9 isomers of chlorogenic acid and arbutin in fruits were developed. The samples were extracted using 90% methanol (pH 3.0), with the solutions being shaken and then sonicated for 10 min each. After centrifugation at 4,000 rpm for 10 min, the extraction was concentrated under a vacuum at $40^{\circ}C$ using a vacuum evaporator. The residue was dissolved in 5 mL of 5% methanol and filtered through a $0.45{\mu}m$ membrane before UHPLC-MS/MS analysis. The separations were performed on a C18 column with gradient elution of water (containing 0.1% formic acid) and methanol (containing 0.1% formic acid). The specificity, linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantification, accuracy, and precision of the proposed methods were also evaluated.
