In this study, the correlations between flow rate, exhaust pressure, and droplet mean diameter with the shape factor of a water curtain nozzle were investigated. To analyze the flow coefficient and the distribution constant on the effects of the hydraulic diameter, five nozzles (D5W3, D5W6, D5W8, D4W6, and D7W6) were mocked up with a consideration of the internal diameter and width. The results showed that the flow coefficient increased in proportion to the constant 0.79 and 62.8 of the hydraulic diameters according to the diameter. As the nozzle width increased, the average droplet size decreased to the -0.235 exponential of the pressure. The average volume was reduced, in which the size distribution of the volume indeterminate decreased with increasing pressure for the same nozzle of the water-curtain. The distribution constants of droplet increased in proportion to the 0.258 exponential of the hydraulic diameter and 244.21. These results are expected to be useful to the design of pressure, flow meter, and average droplet size from a water curtain nozzle to predict the flow characteristics.

In this study, the electrical and optical properties of GZO (Ga-doped ZnO) thin films prepared on PES substrates by RF magnetron sputtering method with various working pressures (5 to 20 mTorr) were investigated. All GZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.44˚ of FWHM. In AFM observations, surface roughness exhibited the lowest value of 0.20 nm in a thin film produced by the working pressure 5 mTorr. Figure of merits of GZO thin film deposited at 5 mTorr showed the highest value of 6652, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 6.93×10^-4Ω-cm and 81.4%, respectively. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed.

In this study, GTZO(Ga-Ti-Zn-O) thin films were deposited at various working pressures (1~7mTorr) by RF magnetron sputtering to examine the structural, electrical, and optical properties. All GTZO thin films exhibited c-axis preferential growth regardless of working pressure, the GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the most excellent crystallinity having 0.38˚ of FWHM. The average transmittance in the visible light region (400~800nm) showed 80% or more regardless of the working pressure. We could observed the Burstein-Moss effect that carrier concentration decrease with the increase of working pressure and thus the energy band gap is narrowed. Figure of merits of GTZO thin film deposited at 1mTorr showed the highest value of 9.08 × 103 Ω-1·cm-1, in this case resistivity and average transmittance in the visible light region were 5.12 × 10-4 Ω·cm and 80.64%, respectively.

Using the Siwek 20 L spherical explosion vessel, the explosion properties have been examined to understand the influence of magnesium content in Mg-Al alloy dusts with different concentration. For this purpose, the Mg-Al alloy dusts (volume mean diameter : $151{\sim}160{\mu}m$) with magnesium content ratio were used. As the results, the increase of Mg content in Mg-Al alloy causes an decreased minimum explosion concentration and an increased maximum explosion pressure. Also the maximum explosion pressure and maximum rate of pressure rise in Mg-Al alloy dusts mainly depended on the dust concentrations. However, for the explosion index (Kst) of Mg-Al (40:60 wt%), Mg-Al (50:50 wt%) and Mg-Al (60:40 wt%), it was founded to increase the Kst with increasing of magnesium content ratio.

ITZO ($In_2O_3$ : $SnO_2$ : ZnO = 90wt.% : 5wt.% : 5wt.%) thin films were fabricated on glass substrates (Eagle 2000) at room temperature with various working pressures (1~7 mTorr) by RF magnetron sputtering. The influence of the working pressure on the structural, electrical, and optical properties of the ITZO thin films were investigated. The XRD and FESEM results showed that all ITZO thin films are amorphous structures with very smooth surfaces regardless of the working pressure. Amorphous ITZO thin films deposited at 3 mTorr showed the best properties, such as a low resistivity, high transmittance, and figure of merit of $3.08{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, 81 %, and $10.52{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}^{-1}$, respectively.

This paper describes the method for detection of the misfired cylinder using the pressure fluctuations occurred in the exhaust system on an MPI gasoline engine. If misfire is occurred in the cylinder of the gasoline engine, the power of engine gets lost, the fuel consumption and the exhaust emission are increased and the vibration is caused by unsteady torque. Therefore early detection and correction of misfire play a very important role in the proper performance and the exhaust emission. This paper suggests method of misfire detection which affect engine performance. The method is a comparison of average pressure index during the displacement period. Experimental results showed that the method using the pressure fluctuations in the exhaust system is proven to be effective in the detection of misfire on gasoline engine regardless loads and revolutions of the engine. In addition, this method, using the pressure fluctuations in exhaust system is easier than other methods and is not a need of additional reconstruction of engine.

The bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt may be useful as an intermediate procedure before Fontal oper- ation in high-risk patients, because it provides adequate relief of cyanosis and relief of ventricular volume overload. But there are no established theory about the effects of bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt on pulmonary arterial development. The purpose of this article is a study of changes of pulmonary artery size after bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt. Ca diac catheterization and angiography procedures were done on 19 patients who underwent bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt from February 1992 to July 1994, their results were reviewed. Preoperative cardiac catheterization and angiography procedures were performed at a mean interval of ).8 $\pm$4.8($\pm$SEM) months before surgery and following catheterization at a mean postoperative interval of 19.6 $\pm$4.8 months. Pulmonary arterial sixte measurement were standardized for body surface area(Pulmon- arty artery index), and for diameter of descending thoracic aorta(McGoon ratio). Patient's age, body stir- face area, pulmonary angioplasty, preoperative McGoon ratio and follow-up intervals were considered as variables. Before bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, patient's mean age, body surface area, arterial 02 saturation, diameter of right pulmonary artery, diameter of left pulmonary artery, pulmonary artery Index, McGoon ratio were 13.7$\pm$15.6 months, 0.40$\pm$0.12m2, 71.4$\pm$12.4m2, 7.1$\pm$1.7mm, 6.2$\pm$1 , 191.8$\pm$82.7mm21m2, 1.73 $\pm$0.49, respectively. After bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, the values were changed to 39.9 $\pm$ 16.2 months, 0.58$\pm$0.07 m2, 83.0$\pm$3.8m2, 9.0$\pm$ 1.5 mm, 7.7$\pm$2.0, 197.3$\pm$57.1 mm2/m2, 1.76$\pm$0.32, respect- ively With patients'development (age, body surf'ace area), diameters of pulmonary arteries were increased, but pulmonary artery indices and McGoon ratios were not changed. And there were no effects of age, body surf'ace area, amount of increased 02 saturation, pulmonary angiography and follow-up duration on the increment of pulmonary ar- tery size. But when the McGoon ratio was as low as 1.2, there were significant increase in postoperative pulmonary artery sizes. There was a significant correlation between preoperative pulmonary artery index (PAI) and McGoon ratio (MGR) ; PAI : MGRxl18.0-12.4 In conclusion, bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt provides adequate increment of arterial 02 saturation and does not increase the pulmonary artery size. Further investi ation is mandatory to evaluate the effect of pulsatile bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt on pulmonary artery growth.

Objectives: The sensitivity and accuracy of thermistor airflow signal has been debated. The purposes of this study were to compare apnea-hypopnea index(AHI) detected from a conventional thermistor signal and a nasal pressure transducer of airflow(NPT), to evaluate the value of NPT for the diagnosis of upper airway resistance syndrome(UARS), and to measure airway pressure fluctuations which produced respiratory arousals in UARS by naso-oro-esophageal manometer catheter. The subjects were 30 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome [mild(540), 10), and 6 UARS patients. Airway resistance arousal in this study was defined as arousals which were not associated with apnea or hypopnea of thermistor signal, but showed significant decrease of nasal airflow pressure just before arousal and a prompt recovery of nasal airflow pressure after arousal. The airway pressure fluctuations were measured during 260 airway resistance arousals observed in 10 patients with OSAS, 2 with UARS. Results: Mean AHIs of patients with OSAS were 33.4 by thermistor and 48.4 by NPT. The AHIs of mild, moderate and severe OSAS groups were 10.2, 32.1, 65.4 respectively by thermistor and 23.1, 45.9, 76.4 by NPT. The mean AHI of patients with UARS was 3.2 by thermistor and 10.8 by NPT. The mean AHI of patients with nonspecific arousals was 2.7 by thermistor and 4.4 by NPT. The mean airway pressure changes during respiratory arousals of different groups were $8.7\;cmH_2O$ in mild OSAS, $11.4\;cmH_2O$ in moderate OSAS, $24.7\;cmH_2O$ in severe OSAS and $6.6\;cmH_2O$ in UARS. Conclusion: The nasal pressure transducer of airflow was more sensitive and accurate for assessing respiratory disturbances of patients with OSAS and was extremely helpful for the diagnosis of UARS without esophageal pressure monitoring. From the results, we would like to propose carefully the NPT diagnostic criteria for sleep disordered breathing as follows: NPT-AHI 5-15 $\rightarrow$ UARS, 15-35 $\rightarrow$ mild OSAS, 35-55 $\rightarrow$ moderate OSAS and >55 $\rightarrow$ severe OSAS.

최근 지속가능한 개발의 개념은 국제적으로 경제 개발과 환경 보전 사이에서 논쟁이 중심이 되고 있으며, 수자원 개발과 관리는 이들 논쟁에서 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 이와 더불어 유역을 관리함에 있어 수자원을 이수, 치수 및 수질의 단일 문제로 인식하는 것이 아니라 통합적으로 인식하는 유역통합관리(Integrated Watershed Management, IWM)의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 유역통합관리에 앞서 유역의 상태 및 문제점을 파악하기 위한 방법으로 EEA (European Environment Agency)에서 개발한 추진력(Driving force)-압력(Pressure)-상태(State)-영향(Impact)-반응(Response) (DPSIR) 개념 이용하여 3개의 세부 지표인 이수지표, 치수지표, 수질지표로 구성된 하나의 통합 지수인 유역수자원평가지수를 개발하였다. 세부지표인 이수지표는 연속무강우일수, 인구밀도, 용수수요, 물재이용률 등 16개의 구성요소, 치수지표는 홍수범람위험 지역 내 거주 인구수, 홍수방어시설용량, 개수율, 100 mm 이상 강수일수 등 15개의 구성요소, 수질지표는 BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demend) 부하량, 수질 등급, 연중 목표 수질 달성일수 등 13개의 구성요소로 이루어져있다. 이를 북한강 유역 중 북한 지역을 제외한 유역 즉, 수자원단위지도 상의 춘천댐권역(1010) ~ 청평댐권역(1015)의 6개 중권역에 적용하여 비교하였다. 세부지표의 주된 요소인 유출량의 모의를 위해 장기유출모형인 HSPF (Hydrological Simulation Program - Fortran)를 사용하였다. 모형에 입력된 유역평균강수량 자료는 1973년 ~ 2008년까지의 37년의 자료기간을 갖는 북한강유역의 5개 기상관측소 자료를 Thiessen network를 이용하여 산정하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 북한강 유역의 현재 수자원의 상태를 지수화하여 나타내고 그 결과를 비교해보았다. 이 결과는 유역 수자원의 파악하여 유역통합관리시 유역의 문제점을 파악하고 이를 수정하기 위한 의사결정 우선순위를 정하는데 사용될 수 있다.

A high temperature fabric filter was developed and characterized in order to solve the various problems encountered in the operation of industrial fabric filters. Four kinds of dusts generated in the typical domestic industry were used for its characterization, coke dust from a steel manufacturing process, cement dust from a cement manufacturing process, fly ash from a fluidized-bed combustor, and incinerator ash from a waste plastics incinerator. The physical and chemical properties of the high temperature fabric filter were analyzed in terms of mean flow pore pressure, bubble point pore diameter, mean flow pore diameter, pore size distribution, and the changes in tensile strength and initial elastic modulus under $SO_2$ and $NO_2$ atmospheres. Pressure drop, dust penetration, and figure of merit for the fabric filter were also investigated in a bench-scale filter testing unit. The fabric filter developed in this study had good physical and chemical filter properties and showed a very applicability to typical industrial dusts treatments.
