Time-dependent behavior similar to secondary deformation related to mineral dissolution is easily observed when performing a laboratory pressure experiment. In this research, to observe the dissolution of quartz found in bentonite used as buffer material for the geological disposal of high-level waste (HLW) under conditions of high pH, we calculated the diffusion of $OH^-$ ions and the behavior of quartz dissolution using the homogenization analysis method. The results reveal that the rate of quartz dissolution is proportional to the temperature and interlayer water thickness. In particular, in a high-pH environment, the reacted area (and therefore the dissolution rate) increases with decreasing interlayer water thickness.

차세대 집적회로 제조공정에 있어 핵심기술인 선택적 단결정 실리콘 성장공정에 대한 이동현상, 열역학, 미시적 전산모사를 수행하여 다각적인 분석과 이해를 시도하였다. 첫째, 실리콘 단결정 성장 공 정에 가장 많이 사용되는 배럴 반응기를 대상으로 유한 요소법을 이용하여 이동현상적 이론연구를 수행 하였다. 반응기내의 기체속도 분포, SiH2Cl2 농도분포를 각각 구하였으며 압력, 기판온도, 총유량 HCl 유 량변화 등의주요공정변수가 증착율과 균일도 지수에 미치는 영햐을 고찰하였다. 이러한 연구를 통하여 저온, 저압, 총유량이 많고 첨가되는 HCl 유량이 작은 경우가 균일도 확보를 위하여 적합한 조업조건임 을 알수 있었다. 둘째 Si-H-Cl 계에 대한 열역학적 기체의 Cl/H비가 낮은 경우가 선택적 실리콘 증착 에 적합함을 알수 있었다. 셋째, Monte Carlo법을 이용한 선택적 실리콘 미세박막 성장패턴에 관한 이 론 연구를 수행하여 종횡비, 재방출, 표면확산에 따른 박막증착 패턴의 변화를 고찰하였으며 표면확산이 선택도 상실 현상의 중요한 원인이 될 수 있음을 발견하였다. 또한 최상의 선택도 확보를위해서는 낮은 부착계수와 낮은 표면확산계수를 유지해야 됨을 알수 있었다.

A diffusion process is often the main mechanism of soil gas/vapor movement in the vadose zone. The diffusion coefficients in the porous soil media are different from those in the free air phase by the reduction of available area for diffusion, tortuous diffusion path and variable cross section area along the diffusion path. To take account those effects of the diffusion process in the porous media, usually the terms of effective diffusion coefficient and tortuosity are have been used. However, as there are many differents definitions for the tortuosity, when the term of tortuosity is used, it is necessary to examine it throughly. Moreover, there are many different equations for the effective diffusion coefficient according to the investigators and the differences in the values of effective diffusion coefficients between the equations are not insignificant, the selection of the equation should be done with caution. In this paper, the different definitions of effective diffusion coefficient are examined and discussed. As well as definitions, the lots of availabe models for the diffusion coefficient in terms of porosities are compared. Also, the constrictiviy which explains the effect of cross sectional area change over the diffusion path was discussed.

Testicular epidermoid cyst is a rare benign tumor, accounting for 1-2% of all testicular tumors. It can be cured by organ preserving surgery, so accurate preoperative diagnosis is very important for preventing unneccessary and extensive orchiectomy. We experienced a case of an 18-year-old man who presented with a painless lump in his right testis. The testicular mass showed an onion ring sign on ultrasonography. Computed tomography images showed the mass as a low attenuating lesion with curvilinear calcification. On Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the mass appeared as high signal intensity with internal alternating low signal intensity patterns on T2-weighted images. The mass was displayed as having homogeneous high signal intensity on diffusion magnetic resonance imaging and showed lower apparent diffusion coefficient values than normal testis parenchyma, similar to intracranial epidermoid cysts. Testicular MRI with DWI and ADC map can help to more accurately diagnose testicular epidermoid cyst.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the types of conceptions of mixing phenomena related to dissolution and diffusion in high school students. The subjects of the investigation consisted of 108 students who took chemistry I course at 11th grade and 29 students who took chemistry II course at 12th grade. For this study, it was found that the many students had the alternative conception that chalk didn't dissolve in water because chalk was a nonpolar material. Most of the students understood the phenomena which carbon tetrachloride and water will not mix as the attraction conception. But many of the other students understood the phenomenon as characteristic of the materials such as difference of density. Many of the students understood the phenomenon of mixing ethanol and water constantly as ‘Attraction conception'. The phenomenon which is mixed ink and water was just accepted by the most students as the spreading of ink in water without understanding the reason of mixing. The phenomena of mixing iodine and carbon tetrachloride was understood as ‘Space conception' or ‘Attraction conception'. It could be inferred that the diverse alternative conceptions related to dissolution and diffusion phenomena were generated by the absence of entropy concept. Therefore, the explanations of science textbooks related to dissolution and diffusion phenomena need to change for students to understand them correctly.

한반도를 위시한 동북아 지역은 급속한 산업 및 경제적 활동 증가로 세계의 주요 오염지역으로 대두되고 있다. 대기오염물질의 이동확산은 어느 특정지역에서 광범위하게 확산되기 때문에 이에 따른 오염과 피해 사이에 시간과 공간적인 차이가 존재하고 있으며 인과관계도 불명확한 상황이다. 매년 봄 한반도를 위시한 동북아지역에 중국, 만주 등지를 기원으로 하는 황사가 빈번하게 발생되고 있고 황사와 함께 이동되는 대기오염물질들 역시 강한 서풍기류에 의해 북태평양까지 이동할 만큼 장거리 이동현상도 발생되고 있다. (중략)

The objective of this research was to test a hypothesis that sprawl increases congestion, and so the estimated evacuation time become longer. For this, sprawl was thought to be poor accessibility so that vehicle miles of travel become longer. This research shows that the daily vehicle miles per lane mile that are thought to be an accessibility index had a strong and statistically significant relationship to the estimated evacuation time, while urban population density has no statistically significant relationship to the evacuation time. The result of this research recommends that we should consider sustainable land use patterns that decrease traffic demand by providing good accessibility.

여천지역은 화학물질 누출사고 등 안전 사고 발생의 잠재적 위험이 높으나 (김영성 등, 1999), 복잡한 해안선의 여수 반도 해안지역에 산을 등지고 있어 해륙풍에 의한 일 변화와 지형 조건에 따른 국지 변화등 복잡한 형태의 바람장이 예상되는 지역이다. 이러한 지역에서의 확산현상은 환경영향평가에서 흔히 이용되고 있는 균일한 바람장 분포를 가정한 대기화산 예측과는 다른 결과를 보이며 (오현선, 김영성, 1999), 따라서 단순한 가우시안 플룸 모델을 이용한 확산 예측은 적용범위가 매우 제한적일 수밖에 없다.(중략)

프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 정수 차수의 미분연산자로 구성된 고전적인 이송확산방정식과 비교하여 프랙탈 차수의 미분연산자로 구성된 보다 상위개념의 방정식으로써 정의된다. 지금까지의 프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 추계학적인 기법을 동원하여 푸리에-라플라스 공간에서 주로 해석되었으나, 본 연구에서는 실제 공간에서 유한차분개념을 도입하여 보다 직접적으희 하천에서의 오염물 이송확산에 관한 지배방정식을 유도하였다. 이러한 개념의 유도방법은 프랙탈 차수 및 관련 확산계수의 물리적인 추정에 관한 실마리를 제공할 수 있다. 고전적인 이송확산방정식과는 달리 프랙탈 이송확산방정식은 실제 하천에서 관측되는 오염물의 시간-농도 분포곡선의 왜곡현상과 분포곡선의 전후방부 농도를 보다 실제에 가깝게 모의할 수 있을 것으로 기대되어진다.

TiN has been investigated as a good candidate for a diffusion barrier of Cu. Therefore, in this study, the grain boundary diffusion of Cu in TiN film was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). In general, TiN has a columnar grain structure. In the relatively lower temperature, less than 1/3 of the melting point, it was observed that Cu diffused into TiN mainly along the grain boundaries of TiN. The grain size of TiN was measured by atomic force microscope (AFM). In order to estimate the grain boundary diffusion constants, we used the modified surface accumulation method. The activation energy, $Q_b$ was 0.23 eV, and the diffusivity, $D_{bo}$ was $5.5\times10^{-12{\textrm{cm}^2$/sec.
