The adhesion strength of two konds of solid propellants(primary propellant/secondary propellant) was studied by coating agent of adhesion composition composed of organic solvent, curing agent, and cure catalyst. The coating agent using FeAA, cure catalyst, resulted propellant breaking at more 0.14 wt% and interface breaking at less 0.10 wt%. The TPB cure catalyst of confirmed the result of the interface breaking immediately after curing of the secondary propellant. In addition, the coating agent using TPB was found to increase the adhesion strength between the primary propellant and the secondary propellant over time.

현재, 우리나라 당뇨병의 유병률은 빠른 속도로 증가하고 있으며 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길수록 각종 합병증이 발생하며 더욱 심각한 증세를 나타내기도 한다. 그 중, 비만 및 고혈당, 당대사장애로 인한 당뇨병성 혈관 합병증과 말초 혈관 경화증이 많이 발병하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 광혈류량 측정법(Photoplethysmograaphy)으로 손가락에서 얻어진 맥파의 2차 미분 분석을 통해 당뇨병으로 확진된 36명의 당뇨병 환자에 대해 말초혈관 경화도를 연령별로 비교하고자 하였다. 이때 사용한 PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석 평가 인자는 a와 d이고, d/a는 혈관의 경화도를 의미하며 경화도가 클수록 d/a의 값은 감소하게 되고, 연령이 증가할수록 경화도는 증가하게 된다. 50대 미만의 당뇨병 환자의 d/a값은 $-0.32{\pm}0.12$, 50대는 $-0.48{\pm}0.13$, 60대는 $-0.55{\pm}0.16$, 70대 이상에서는 $-0.59{\pm}0.19$로 연령이 높아질수록 d/a값이 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, SPSS 13.0 for Windows(SPSS Inc, USA)의 Oneway ANOVA 분석 결과, 연령과 경화도는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 하지만 70대 이상의 당뇨병 환자 그룹에서는 유의한 차이를 확인할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서는 PPG 파형의 2차 미분 분석을 통하여 연령별 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈판 경화도를 비교하였으며, 향후 보완 연구를 통해 비침습적이고 간단한 방법으로 당뇨병 환자의 말초혈관 경화도를 객관적으로 평가하고 진단할 수 있는 시스템 개발로 당뇨병 환자들의 심혈관계질환 사전예방과 치료효과 판정에 도움을 줄 것으로 기대한다.

Purpose : Hippocampal atrophy is one of the characteristic pathologic findings of hippocampal sclerosis, for which MR imaging of the hippocampus is essential in the evaluation of hippocampal sclerosis. The purpose of this study is to present the normal MR volumetric data of the hippocampus in normal adult Korean and to compare those with MR volumetric data of hippocampus in patients with hippocampal s-clerosis, providing the diagnostic volume criteria of the hippocampal atrophy. Materials and methods : MR volumetry was performed in 30 normal adults and 28 patients with temporal lobe epilepsy whose final diagnosis was hippocampal sclerosis. The volumetric data were compared between sexes, right and left sides, and normal and abnormal hippocampus, and the volume criteria for the diagnosis of hippocampal atrophy was determined. Results : The mean $volumes({\pm}standard$ deviation) of normal Korean adult were $2.20{\pm}0.73\textrm{cm}^3$ (right) and $2.17{\pm}0.72\textrm{cm}^3$ (left) in male and $2.27{\pm}0.47{\;}\textrm{cm}^3$ (right) and $2.23{\pm}0.48\textrm{cm}^3$ (left) in female. The mean right-left differences were $0.14{\pm}0.11\textrm{cm}^3$ and $0.19{\pm}0.13\textrm{cm}^3$ in male and female, respectively. The MR volumetry showed no significant statistical differences between sexes and between right and left. The mean volume and standard deviation of the hippocampus in hippocampal sclerosis patients was $1.46{\pm}0.60{\;}\textrm{cm}^3$, and the right-left difference was $0.51{\pm}0.41\textrm{cm}^3$, In comparison of two volume distributions between normal adult group and hippocampal sclerosis patients group, the reasonable diagnostic volume criteria was $0.4{\;}\textrm{cm}^3$ as right-left volume difference, in which the sensitivity and specificity are 0.61 and 0.90. In all patients with right-left volume difference more than $0.4{\;}\textrm{cm}^3$, visual determination of unilateral hippocampal atrophy was possible. Conclusion : The MR-based hippocampal volumetry is a useful add-on of visual MR diagnosis, only when visual diagnosis of hippocampal sclerosis is difficult.

This paper investigates physical properties, the electrical and mechanical characteristics of the epoxy resin with different curing methods and postcuring conditions at room temperature or cryogenic temperature (LN2). According to the results in this paper, first, it is found that the physical properties, electrical and mechanical characteristics of the epoxy resin are largely affected by the interior reaction temperature on the curing. Thus, in the fabrication of the sample, several excellent characteristics of the sample are obtained by controlling the interior reaction temperature of the epoxy resin. Second, the sample having optimal electrical and mechanical characteristics is obtained for the repetitive post-curing method at 100c in view point of the post-curing conditions of the epoxy resin. Third, it appears that tan and characteristics at LN2 temperature are about half of those at room temperature. Fourth, it appears that the dielectric strength of the epoxy resin at LN2 temperature is higher by about 0.6-1.0 MV/cm than that at room temperature. The heat-aging of the epoxy resin due to the micro-defect and excess fever-movement have been noticed to affect dielectric strength at LN2 temperature more significantly than at room temperature.

Many methods for cross-linking acrylic PSAs have been discussed previously. For high cross-linking density, epoxy functionalized monomer and methyl aziridines as cross-linking agents were used in this study. Additionally, photopolymerization using different UV doses was investigated to synthesize a binder because of its rapid productivity. FT-IR analysis, curing behaviours and adhesion performance were examined for the relationship between UV doses and temperature as curing conditions. According to the results, the gel fraction was over 50% even at $120^{\circ}C$ after UV curing at a dose of $800mJ/cm^2$. On the other hand, while gel fractions of all samples reached approximately 80% only at $180^{\circ}C$ in thermal curing for 1 hour, gel fractions of the samples after thermal curing for 3 hours increased rapidly above $120^{\circ}C$ regardless of UV doses and reached approximately 100% at $180^{\circ}C$. This means that the second cross-linking reaction, esterification, is mainly dependent on the curing temperature.

Solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction is cured two times, the first curing is the steam curing at atmospheric pressure and the second one is a high-pressure steam curing, that is autoclaving. Steam curing is to acquire the proper strength for the resistance of treatment in the first curing process, it was not evaluated properly so far. Because of ignorance about curing, some engineers even think that the dry curing is better than the steam curing. The relation between compressive strength of solid hydrated by hydrothermal synthesis reaction and curing condition are presented in this paper. In order to investigate the effect of curing on the strength properties of specimen, the hydration behavior of solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction has been studied over curing condition using XRD, DT-TGA and porosimeter, SEM analysis technique. The results show that the specimens which are cured with blended method of dry and steam curing appear to have better strength properties than that of dry curing and steam curing. Also, there are significant difference of hydration behavior among curing condition in the solid hydrated by hydro-thermal synthesis reaction.

배경: 에스트로겐이 동맥경화증의 진행을 억제하고 예방하는데 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려졌으나 그 기전은 아직 명확하지 않다. 본연구에서는 에스트로겐이 혈관의 확장에 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 nitric oxide와 동맥경화에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 뉴질랜드종 웅성 가토 40마리를 실험동물로 하여 정상식이군(ND), 정상식이와 0.02ig의 estradiol-2 patch 투여군(END), 0.5% 콜레스테롤 투여군(CD), 0.5% 콜레스테롤 투여와 0.02 $\mu\textrm{g}$의 estradiol-2 patch 투여군 (ECD)의 네군으로 나누어 12주간 실험을 하여 혈중 estradiol-2, nitric oxide, cholesterol 등을 측정하고 흉부동맥과 복부동맥의 동맥경화 병변을 관찰하였다. 결과: 혈중 estradiol-2의 농도는 ED, ECD 군에서 ND, CD 군보다 의의 있게 높았다. (p<0.0001). 혈중 nitric oxide 농도는 정상 대조군 (ND)을 제외한 나머지 세군(END, CD, ECD)에서 모두 의의 있게 감소하였다.(p<0.001). 혈중 콜레스테롤은 총콜레스테롤, LDL콜레스테롤, HDL 콜레스테롤은 CD, ECD의 두 군에서 모두 증가하였으나 의의는 없었다(p<0.05). 혈중 콜레스테롤과 중성지방의 농도는 에스트로겐에 의한 영향이 관찰되지 않았다. 흉부 및 복부동맥의 동맥경화 병변은 ND군과 END군에서는 발생하지 않았으나 콜레스테롤을 투여한 CD군과 ECD군의 두 군에서 현저하게 발생하였으며 혈관별 발생정도의 차이는 없었다. 에스트로겐에 의한 병변의 발생 차이는 관찰되지 않았다. 광학현미경상 동맥경화병변은 거의 지방을 탐식한 대식구의 증식으로 이루어졌었으며, 괴사나 섬유화 병변은 관찰되지 않았다. 전자현미경상에서는 내피세포의 광범위한 손상이 관찰되었다. 병리학적으로 에스트로겐에 의한 영향은 인정하기 어려웠다. 결론: 고지방식은 혈중 nitric oxide의 생산을 크게 저하 시키며, 그 원인으로는 지방의 과산화에 의한 내피세포의 손상때문인 것으로 추정된다. 또한 estradiol-2 patch 처치에 의해서 nitric oxide가 감소된 것은 그이유를 설명하기 곤란하나 성차이 및 에스트로겐의 투여방법에 의한 어떤 영향이 있었을 것으로 추측된다. 피부를 통한 에스트로겐의 투여는 혈중 콜레스테롤이나 중성지방의 농도에 영향을 주지 못했으며, 동맥경화의 진행에도 영향이 없었다. 에스트로겐의 동맥경화에 주는 영향에 대해서는 지속적이고 광범위한 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of linear amine curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBA was cured with ethylene diamine(EDA) and hexamethylene diamine(HMDA) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work, the effect of linear amine curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties is significantly influenced by the chemical structure or chain length of curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBA/EDA system having the two carbons had higher values in the thermal stability, maximum conversion of epoxide, density, glass transition temperature, tensile modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus than the DGEBA/HMDA system having the six carbons, whereas the DGEBA/EDA cure system had relatively low values in the shrinkage(%), thermal expansion coefficient, tensile strength, and had similar values in the maximum exothermic temperature, and conversion of epoxide compared to the DGEBA/HMDA cure system. This findings indicate that packing ability in the HMDA structure affects the thermal and mechanical properties.

The purpose of this research is to verify the performance of hardening accelerator in cement paste through mechanical performance evaluation and micro structure analysis on hardening accelerator for development of super high early strength concrete. The research results showed that hardening accelerator produced $Ca(OH)_2$ when hydrated with cement, enhancing the degree of saturation of Ca ion by using differential thermal analysis. Moreover, porosity was reduced rapidly as capillary pores were filled by hydration products of $C_3S$. According to the experiment using hydration measurement testing, when 1% and 3% of accelerator were mixed, hydration rate increased toward the second peak point compared to high early strength cement, before the first peak point disappeared. It turned out that adding accelerator accelerated the hydration rate of cement, especially $C_3S$. The shape of C-S-H is shown depending on the amounts of accelerator added and the production and age of $Ca(OH)_2$ by using SEM to observes hydration products. Therefore, it's evident that hardening accelerator used in this research increases amounts of $Ca(OH)_2$ and accelerates $C_3S$, it is effective for the strength development on early age.
