새 가스그룹의 가스기기 호환성 시험가스 결정을 위해 현 13A 가스그룹의 시험가스와 13A 가스기기의 가스호환성(효율 포함) 관계를 실험적으로 규명하였다. 이 시험결과로부터 새 가스그룹의 불완전 연소 및 화염 부상 한계 가스는 각각 새 가스그룹의 웨버지수 상한보다 2 % 크고, 하한 보다는 1 % 작은 값이 적정함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 효율 시험용 R 가스의 조성은 메탄 96 mol %와 프로판 4 mol %가 가장 적정하며, 일반 효율 시험시에는 공급 천연가스도 R가스로 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 역화 한계 가스 내 수소 농도는 기존 30 vol %에서 EN437과 같이 23 vol %로 낮출 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 13A 가스기기의 새 가스호환성 판정법을 개발하고자 하였다. 호환성 판정법 개발의 원칙은 세 가지로서, 1) 웨버지수 외에 가스조성 영향을 대표할 수 있는 인자의 도출, 2) 우리나라 가정과 업소에 보급된 모든 종류의 제작사별 가스기기(예혼합 가스기기 포함) 시험, 3) 가능한 한 간단한 판정법 개발이다. 이러한 원칙하에 30대의 대표성 있는 가스기기에 대하여 가스호환성 실험을 하였고 그 결과 웨버지수-비중 형식의 간단한 2차원 판정법(도표)을 개발하였다. 본 호환성 판정법은, 기존 호환성 판정법과 달리 화염안정 영역이 좁은 예혼합 가스기기를 포함하며, 이로 인해 기존 호환성 판정법보다 가스호환성 영역이 좁은 것으로 나타났다.

This paper is devoted to detecting decomposition characteristics of Iodotrifluoromethane ($CF_3I$) under alternating current (AC) discharges or load current interruptions. The decomposition products are measured utilizing chromatography-mass spectroscopy. It is found that less than 1% $CF_3I$ gas decomposed after several interruptions at load current of 200 A or hundred times of AC discharges. However, under interruptions at a current of 400 A, more than 95% $CF_3I$ gas decomposed into carbon tetrafluoride ($CF_4$) and hexafluoroethane ($C_2F_6$). The equilibrium compositions based on Gibbs free energy minimization of $CF_3I$ was calculated to explain the decomposition mechanism.

진공 가스분사법으로 제조된 Fe₇₅B₁₃P₅Nb₂Hf₁C₄ 합금의 응고중 액상의 크기와 이에 따른 냉각속도의 변화가 정출상의 형성에 미치는 영향에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 고온 액상에서 동일한 조건으로 응고된 서로 다른 크기의 액상이 구형의 분말형태로 응고될 때 크기에 따른 임계냉각속도의 차이를 계산하였으며, 액상의 평균 반지름이 3배정도 크기 차이가 날 경우 고상으로 변태할 때 임계냉각속도가 13.5배까지 차이가 나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 임계냉각 속도의 차이에 따른 정출상의 형성과 정출상의 형태와 크기에 따른 탄화물의 형성 거동을 조사하여 열역학 계산으로 예측된 결과와 비교 분석하였으며, 분말입자의 크기가 20~45 마이크론일 경우 Hf과 Nb이 포함된 MC타입의 탄화물이 초정으로 형성 되는 것을 알 수 있었으며 이때 Hf과 Nb의 비율은 합금의 조성 및 냉각속도에 따라 변화됨을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

A low power methane gas sensor with microheater was fabricated by silicon bulk micromachining technology. In order to heat up the sensing layer to operating temperature, a platinum (Pt) micro heater was embedded in the gas sensor. The line width and gap of the microheater was 20 ${\mu}m$ and 4.5 ${\mu}m$, respectively. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowhisker arrays were grown on a sensor from a ZnO seed layer using a hydrothermal method. A 200 ml aqueous solution of 0.1 mol zinc nitrate hexahydrate, 0.1 mol hexamethylenetetramine, and 0.02 mol polyethylenimine was used for growing ZnO nanowhiskers. Temperature distribution of the sensor was analyzed by infrared thermal camera. The optimum temperature for highest sensitivity was found to be $250^{\circ}C$ although relatively high (64%) sensitivity was obtained even at as low a temperature as $150^{\circ}C$. The power consumption was 72 mW at $250^{\circ}C$, and only 25 mW at $150^{\circ}C$.

In this study, ZnO nanorods and $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide were grown on membrane-type gas sensor platforms and the sensing characteristics for carbon monoxide (CO) were studied. Diaphragm-type gas sensor platforms with built-in Pt micro-heaters were made using a conventional bulk micromachining method. ZnO nanorods were grown from ZnO seed layers using the hydrothermal method, and the average diameter and length of the nanorods were adjusted by changing the concentration of the precursor. Thereafter, $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films were grown from evaporated Sn and Cu thin films. The average diameters of the ZnO nanorods obtained by changing the concentration of the precursor were between 30 and 200 nm and the ZnO nanorods showed a sensitivity value of 21% at a working temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm. The $SnO_2$-CuO heterogeneous oxide thin films showed a sensitivity value of 18% at a working temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ and a carbon monoxide concentration of 100 ppm.

Objectives : This study was conducted to evaluate the level of exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) among workers handling rust preventive oils. Methods : A total of 30 bulk samples and 54 personal air samples were collected using diffusive samplers at 22 workplaces handling rust preventive oils in Daegu and Gyongsangbuk-do Province from March to October 2013. We also investigated detailed information on the related work conditions, such as kinds of products, handling methods, local exhaustive ventilation systems, and the status of the wearing personal protective equipment. All bulk samples and air samples were analyzed using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify components to which workers potentially were exposed. Quantitative airborne concentrations of VOCs were confirmed using gas chromatography with flame ionized detectors. Results : In terms of qualitative analyses for the 30 bulk samples, we found carcinogenic, mutagenic and reproductive toxic(CMR) substances such as butane(carcinogenic Group 1A, mutagenic Group 1B), butoxy ethanol(carcinogenic Group 2), cumene (carcinogenic Group 2), ethyl benzene(carcinogenic Group 2), methyl isobutyl ketone(carcinogenic Group 2) and toluene (reproductive toxic, Group 2). As a result of full-shift based personal air samples, eight substances such as n-hexane, n-heptane, octane, nonane, decane, toluene, ethyl benzene and xylene were detected. Among them, n-hexane and n-heptane were detected in all of 54 air samples with $13.13mg/m^3$ and $8.61mg/m^3$ of maximum concentration, respectively. The level of airborne concentration from all of samples were bellow the occupational exposure limit in Korea. Conclusions : Based on the results of this study, workers handling rust preventive oils could be exposed to CMR substances contained in rust preventive oils and n-hexane and n-heptane were found as the most frequent sources of VOC exposure.

The gas-phase pyrolysis reactions of 2-alkoxypyrimidines(II), 2-alkoxypyrazines(III), 4-ethoxypyrimidine(IV) and 3-ethoxypyridazine(V) are investigated theoretically using the AM1 MO method. These compounds pyrolyze in a concerted retro-ene process with a six-membered cyclic transition state (TS). The relative order of reactivity if (IV)>(II)>(III)>(V), which can be rationalized by the two effects arising from electron-withdrawing power of the aza-substituent: (ⅰ) Electron withdrawal from the C-O bond accelerates the rate and (ⅱ) electron withdrawal from the $N^1$-atom, that is participating in the six-membered TS, deactivates the reaction. We are unable to explain the experimental result of the greatest reactivity for pyridazine, (V), with our AM1 results. The reactivity increase accompanied by successive methylation of the ethoxy group, ethoxytert-butoxy, is due to a release of steric crowding in the activation process.

목 적 : 소아과 의원을 방문한 인두염 환자에서 A군 연쇄구균 분리율을 살펴보고자 하였다. T 항원형과 emm 유전자형을 동정하여 역학적 특성을 살펴보고, 같은 지역의 보균자 결과와 비교하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2001년 11월부터 2002년 5월까지 경남 진주시에 위치한 한 소아과 의원에서 인두염 환자 246명(남자 123명, 여자 123명)을 대상으로 인후배양을 시행하였다. 슬라이드 응집법으로 T 항원형을 결정하였고, emm 유전자 증폭 후 염기서열 분석을 시행하여 emm 유전자형을 동정하였다. 결 과 : 인두염 환자 246명 중 130명(52.8%)에서 베타용혈성 연쇄구균이 분리되었으며, 그 중 96.1%가 A군이었다. 연령별로는 4세에서 7세가 70.4%로 가장 많았다. T12가 35.2%로 가장 흔하였고, T non-typeable 30.4%, T28 14.4% 순이었다. emm12(28.5%)가 가장 많이 동정되었고, emm75(18.7%), emm22(13.0%), emm2(12.2%) 및 emm8(8.1%) 순이었다. 결 론 : A군 연쇄구균 인두염은 약 50%에서 분리될 정도로 흔하므로, 개인 소아과 의원에서 급성인두염 환자에 대해 항생제 처방 전에 인후배양이 필요할 것으로 사료된다. T항원 및 emm 유전자형은 급성 인두염 환자와 보균자에서 비슷한 분포를 보였다.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic carriers of group A ${\beta}-hemolytic$ streptococci (GAS) in children living in a rural community and to investigate the association between episodes of acute pharyngitis and carrier status. Methods: Throat swabs were collected from September to November 2013 among children 5-13 years of age from a rural community (Maria Ignacia-Vela, Argentina). The phenotypic characterization of isolates was performed by conventional tests. Antimicrobial susceptibility was assayed for penicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and clindamycin (disk diffusion). The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined for penicillin, cefotaxime, tetracycline, and erythromycin. Results: The carriage of ${\beta}-hemolytic$ streptococci was detected in 18.1% of participants, with Streptococcus pyogenes in 18 participants followed by S. dysgalactiae ssp. equisimilis in 5. The highest proportion of GAS was found in 8 to 10-year-old children. No significant association between the number of episodes of acute pharyngitis suffered in the last year and the carrier state was detected (p>0.05). Tetracycline resistance (55.5%) and macrolide-resistant phenotypes (11.1%) were observed. Resistance to penicillin, cefotaxime, or chloramphenicol was not expressed in any streptococcal isolate. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated significant throat carriage of GAS and the presence of group C streptococci (S. dysgalactiae ssp. equisimilis) in an Argentinian rural population. These results point out the need for continuous surveillance of GAS and non-GAS carriage as well as of antimicrobial resistance in highly susceptible populations, such as school-aged rural children. An extended surveillance program including school-aged children from different cities should be considered to estimate the prevalence of GAS carriage in Argentina.
