$CO_2$ emitted from building materials and construction materials industry reaches about 67 million tons, which occupy about 30 % of $CO_2$ emitted from the construction field. Controls on the use of consumed fossil fuels and reduction of emission gases are essential for the reduction of $CO_2$ in the construction area as we reduce the second and third curing to emit $CO_2$ in the construction materials industry. Accordingly, this study applied the low energy curing admixture (hereinafter "LA") to the extruded panels to observe the physical properties, depending on the mixing amount of fiber, type of fiber and mixing ratio of fiber. The type of fiber did not appear to be a main factor to affect strength, while the LA mixing ratio and mixing amount of fiber appeared to be major factors to affect strength. Especially, the highest strength was developed when the LA mixing ratio was 40%, whereas the test object with the mixing ratio of 50% resulted in the decrease of strength. In addition, it appeared that the mixing ratio of fiber greatly affected flexural strength and strength increased as the mixing ratio increased.

Crystalline structure of the extrudate of high amylose corn starch was studied by X-ray diffractometer and $^{13}C\;NMR$. The X-ray diffraction crystal ratio of the extrudates (barrel temperature $100^{\circ}C$ )of high amylose corn starch slightly increased from 6.08% to 8.37% by increasing feed moisture content from 25% to 45%. But extrudates of high amylose corn starch showed similar crystal ratio on various extrusion conditions. Extrudates of high amylose corn starch (feed moisture content 20%, barrel temp $140^{\circ}C$) showed more enlarged crystal structure than that of non-extrudates. The perpendicular distance of crystal increased by extrusion. Crystal ratio was changed from $6.3{\sim}8.3%$ to $4.5{\sim}5.8%$ during storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Starch configuration was examined with $^{13}C\;NMR$. Double helical content was measured by $^{13}C\;NMR$ method. The highest double helical content (60%) was obtained from high amylose corn starch extrudate (barrel temp.: $100^{\circ}C$, feed moisture content 45%). Double helical contents and resistant starch (RS) yield (pancreatin) were positively correlated. However, double helical content of the extrudates was not changed by the storage at $4^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: To evaluate the characteristics and the risk factors of early onset subsequent vertebral compression fractures after percutaneous vertebroplasty. Materials and Methods: A total of 44 patients, who had a new subsequent vertebral fracture after percutaneous vertebroplasty for an osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture between January 2013 and December 2015, were recruited. The patients were divided into two groups according to the onset period of subsequent fracture. The number of patients who had a fracture within 3 months following vertebroplasty were 22 cases (Group A); after 3 months were 22 cases (Group B). Variables, including age, sex, bone mineral density (BMD), body mass index (BMI), preexisting vertebral compression fracture, location of the initial fracture, intradiscal cement leakage, injected cement volume, restoration of vertebral body height, and correction of kyphosis, in the two groups were analyzed and compared retrospectively. Results: The age, sex, BMD, BMI, preexisting vertebral compression fracture, location of the initial fracture, intradiscal cement leakage, and correction of kyphosis were similar in the two groups. Both a greater volume of bone cement injected and a greater degree of vertebral height restoration contributed significantly to the risk of fracture within 3 months. Conclusion: The cement volume and degree of height restoration are risk factors for early onset fracture at the adjacent vertebrae after percutaneous vertebroplasty and close attention is needed during the follow-up period.

Recently, injection molded plastic optical products are widely used in many fields, because injection molding process has advantages of low cost and high productivity. However, there remains residual birefringence and residual stresses originated from flow history and differential cooling. The present study focused on developing a technique to measure the birefringence in optical plastic parts using R-G-B separation of white light. The main idea of an analysis comes from the fact that more information can be obtained from the distribution of retardation caused by different wavelengths. A complete system to give the quantitative values of retardation covering high order 2-D birefringence will be demonstrated. Further investigation is under way to improve the accuracy of the system using diodes as light sources.

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery appears to offer certain advantages such as earlier postoperative recovery and a greater cosmetic effect than that achieved through conventional sternotomy. However, this approach has not yet been widely adopted in Korea to replace complex open heart surgery such as mitral valve reconstruction. This study compared the results of robot assisted minimally invasive mitral valve repair with those results of conventional sternotomy. Material and Method: From December 1993 to December 2005, 520 consecutive patients underwent mitral valve reconstruction for mitral regurgitation in our institution. These patients were subdivided according to those whose surgery used the conventional sternotomy approach (Group S, n=432) and those who underwent minimally invasive right anterior thoracotomy (Group M, n=88); we then compared the clinical results of both groups. When we performed minimally invasive right thoracotomy, we used a robot (AESOP 3000) and made an incision less than 5 cm. Result: Our study patients in both groups were similar for their age, gender and preoperative ejection fraction. There were two hospital mortalities in group S. but there was no mortality in the group M patients. Significant reductions in the ICU stay and the postoperative hospital stay were observed in the group M patients compared with the group S patients. However, both the bypass time and the aortic cross-clamp time were significantly longer in the group M patients. In spite of the confined incision in the group M patients, there were no limitations on the mitral valve repair techniques. There was a similar frequency of postoperative significant residual mitral regurgitation in both groups. Conclusion: In this study, the minimally invasive mitral valve repair showed comparable early results with the conventional sternotomy patients. We will now need long-term follow-up of these patients who underwent minimally invasive mitral valve repair, but we anticipate that based on the results of this study, we will begin to routinely perform minimally invasive cardiac surgery as out primary approach for mitral valve reconstruction.

본 연구는 상업용 규모의 쇄미선별공정에 사용할 수 있는 파이로트 규모 원통형 홈 선별기 시작기의 설계 및 제작에 필요한 기초 연구로서, 실험실용 원통형 홈 선별기를 이용하여 쇄미선별 실험을 실시하였다. 원통 회전속도, trough각도, indent 크기와 형상, 공급량을 요인으로 하여 완전립의 수거율과 순도, 쇄립의 수거율과 순도 및 선별효율을 조사하였다. 수행한 연구결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 선별효율에 대한 원통 회전속도와 trough각도의 단독효과 및 교호작용은 1% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었다. 원통 회전속도가 커지면trough각도 역시 그에 따라 적절히 증가시켜야만 선별효율의 저하가 방지되는 것으로 나타났다. 2. 최고 선별효율 값은 홈의 모양과 크기, 그리고 공급량에 관계없이 낮은 회전속도 (17rpm)와 중간 trough각도 (37.5$^{\circ}$또는 60$^{\circ}$)가 조합된 처리에서 나타났으며, 60~70% 범위의 높은 값을 보였다. 선별효율에 관한 원통 회전속도와 trough각도의 최적 조합은 17rpm, 37.5$^{\circ}$라고 판단된다. 3. 말발굽형 홈과 반구형 홈 간 선별효율의 차이는 없었다. 따라서, 실제 상업용 규모의 원통형 홈 쇄미선별기 개발에 있어서는 제작이 쉽고 유지.보수가 간편한 반구형 홈을 채택하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 생각된다. 길이 2.5mm이하의 미립인 쇄미의 선별에 사용할 홈의 크기는 2.5mm 보다는 약간 큰 3.0mm 정도가 되어야만 할 것으로 판단된다. 4. 공급량에 따른 선별효율의 차이는 1% 수준에서 유의성이 인정되었으며, 공급량이 작았을 때 전반적으로 선별효율이 높았다.타리 시프터를 채택, 사용하고 있었으며, 로타리시프터 사용상의 문제는 회전몸체를 지지하는 rod spring의 파손 등 구조와 관련된 것이었다. 로타리 시프터에 의한 쇄립의 선별과 제거정도는 만족할 만한 수준은 아니었다. 4. 국내 유통백미 완전립의 길이, 폭, 두께는 각각 5.02mm, 2.93mm, 2.03mm이었으며, 산물밀도와 천립중은 각각 745.3kg/m3 및 20.46g이었다. 5. RPC 백미제품의 품질경쟁력 향상을 유도하고자 현행 쇄미의 정의와 기준을 보다 강화하여 다음과 같은 쇄미 기준과 계급을 설정, 제시하였다. "완전립" - 길이가 3.75mm이상인 미립 "준완전립" - 길이가 2.5∼3.75mm인 미립 "쇄미" - 길이가 1.75∼2.5 mm인 미립 "이물" - 길이가 1.75mm이하인 미립.볼 때 상토 종자혼합비 6 : 1, 성형롤 회전속도 약 7 rpm으로 판단되며, 이 때 제조능력은 시간당 약 65 Kg(펠렛종자 약 39,000 개), 성형률 약 87 %, 종자손실률은 약 30 %, 펠렛종자 내 평균 종자수는 약 5.5 개, 완전 벼 종자 3개 이상 포함 펠렛종자 비율은 약 100 %가 될 것으로 보인다. 세포의 Androgen 생성을 촉진시키는 역할이 있는 것으로 보여진다 따라서 옻나무 유래 F는 포유동물의 생식기능에 중요하게 작용하는 것으로 사료된다.된다.정량 분석한 결과이다. 시편의 조성은 33.6 at% U, 66.4 at% O의 결과를 얻었다. 산화물 핵연료의 표면 관찰 및 정량 분석 시험시 시편 표면을 전도성 물질로 증착시키지 않고, Silver Paint 에 시편을 접착하는 방법으로도 만족한 시험 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.째, 회복기 중에 일어나는 입자들의 유입은 자기폭풍의 지속시간

Background: Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a rare form of congenital cardiac anomaly involving ascending aorta distal to coronary orifice. Materials and methods: We operated 12 cases of supravalvular aortic stenosis between July 1986 and March 1997. Age ranged from 4 to 17(mean 10.2) years and 11 of them were male. Nine patients had clinical features of Williams syndrome. We experienced two types of supravalvular aortic stenosis, including 10 hour glass type and 2 diffuse type. Results: Preoperative transaortic pressure gradient ranged from 40 to 180(mean 92) mmHg by cardiac catheterization. Pulmonary stenosis was associated in 5 and 2 of them required angioplasty. Operative techniques included 6 standard aortoplasty with elliptical patch, 4 extended aortoplasty with inverted Y shaped patch, and 2 modified Brom's repair. There were no operative deaths. Postoperative echocardiographic evaluation was done at a mean interval of 12 months. Grade I or II aortic regurgitation was found in 3 cases. Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed a mean transaortic pressure gradient of 26 (range 0 to 75) mmHg. A mean pressure drop was 78(range 30 to 114) mmHg. All patients were followed up for a mean of 40(range 1 to 67) months with uneventful clinical course. Conclusions: Our data proved the low mortality and excellent hemodynamic improvement after surgical relief of supravalvular aortic stenosis in children.

포항가속기는 선형가속기 및 저장링을 통하여 2.5Gev의 고에너지 전자빔 생성과 저장, 유지 되고 있다. 저장링에서 안정적으로 방사광을 추출하여 각종 실험 및 연구를 위하여 이를 제공하고 있다. 이를 위해서 전자가 매우 안정적이고 높은 집적도를 가진 전자다발 형태로 유지되어야 한다. 전자다발의 집적도가 높을수록 전자간의 상호 간섭으로 보유에너지가 더 빠른 시간에 소진되어 전자빔의 수명이 짧아진다. 3차 하모닉 RF 공동기는 전자다발의 운동방향으로 길게 늘려서 전자밀도를 줄여 전자빔의 운전수명을 개선하기 위한 장치이다. 공동기의 제작은 소재준비, 성형, 가공, 용접, 연마, 열처리 등의 여러 공정을 거쳐 완료된다. 본 보고서에서는 공동기의 제작 공정 중 전자빔을 이용한 시험용접, 본용접, 용접부 검사 및 용접부의 연마와 결과에 대하여 기술하였다.
