사구체 여과율은 신 기능의 평가와 신 질환의 경과 관찰에 중요한 지표다. 현재 임상에서 사구체 여과율을 측정하는 방법은 크게 혈청 크레아티닌 수치와 ^99mTc-DTPA을 이용해서 계산하는 검사가 유용하게 이용되고 있다. Gates 공식이 발표된 이후, ^99mTc-DTPA Renal Dynamic Scan 검사시 이를 적용해 GFR을 감마카메라 장비를 이용하여 측정하고 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 Gates 공식을 적용해 사구체 여과율을 측정할 때 동위원소의 용량 변화, Matrix Size 변경에 따른 사구체 여과율을 분석해 보고자 한다. 본원에서 ^99mTc-DTPA Renal Dynamic Scan 검사를 받은 성인 환자 5명 (환자나이 = 62 ± 5, 남자 3명, 여자 2명)의 결과를 분석하였다. ^99mTc-DTPA 15 mCi를 환자의 정맥에 순간 주사 후 21분간 동적 영상을 획득하였다. Activity, Matrix Size 변화에 따라 사구체 여과율을 평가하기 위해 2-3분 구간의 양쪽 신장과 조직에 관심 영역을 설정 후 총 계수를 측정하였다. Detector와 Table 간의 거리는 30cm로 유지하였고, 동위원소의 용량 변화 평가를 위해 Pre Syringe(PR)의 용량을 15, 20, 25, 30 mCi로 설정하였고, Post Syringe(PO)의 용량을 1, 5, 10, 15 mCi로 각각 설정하였다. 그리고 각각의 Matrix size를 32 × 32, 64 × 64, 128 × 128, 256 × 256, 512 × 512, 1024 × 1024로 변경하여 값을 비교 평가하였다. Matrix Size에서 동위원소의 용량이 증가할수록 사구체 여과율의 차이는 최대 52.95%에서 최소 16.67%로 점차 감소하였다. Matrix size 변화에 따른 사구체 여과율 값은 128에서 256, 256에서 512, 512에서 1024로 변경 시 2.4%, 0.2%, 0.2%로 유사하게 나타났으나, 32에서 64, 64에서 128로 변경 시 54.3 %, 39.43%로 GFR 값의 차이가 발생하였다. 마지막으로, 현재 사용 중인 256 Matrix, Pre syringe 15 mCi의 GFR 값을 기준으로 32 Matrix, Pre Syringe 15 mCi, Post Syringe 1 mCi 조건에서 82%로 가장 큰 차이가 발생하였고, 64 Matrix, Pre Syringe 30 mCi, Post Syringe 15 mCi의 조건에서 0.2%로 유사한 결과 값을 나타내었다. 본 논문을 통해 ^99mTc-DTPA Renal Dynamic Scan에서 Gates 공식을 이용해 사구체 여과율을 측정할 때, 동위원소의 용량과 Matrix Size 변화에 따라 사구체 여과율 측정에 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 그러므로 각 병원에서 이를 적용해 GFR을 측정할 때 적절한 Parameter를 적용해서 검사의 유용성을 높아야 한다고 생각한다.

Cystan의 분산활성은 점토광물에 대한 침강속도가 완연히 느려짐을 확인하여 분산제로서의 성능이 우수함을 볼 수 있었으며, 넓은 범위의 중성 pH에서는 고르게 분산활성을 유지하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이는 rheological test에서도 알 수 있었는데, 여러 pH와 온도에서의 Cystan 용액의 점도측정결과 넓은 영역에서 pH 및 온도 변화에 따른 큰 차이가 없었다. Cystobacter sp. MSL-9에 의해 생산되는 Cystan은 분산활성과 안정성이 높으며 기존 화학분산제보다 환경친화적이어서 그 산업적 가치가 클 것으로 기대된다.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the differences in mineral, ascorbic acid, and total polyphenol content, and also the relationship between polyphenol content and antioxidant activity(DPPH radical scavenging, FTC, and TBA methods) in three sizes of Cudrania tricuspidata leaves. For the mineral contents of the leaves, Ca was highest(17.26 mg/g.d.w.), followed by K(15.53 mg), P(2.61 mg), and Mg(1.99 mg). Ascorbic acid was found to be slightly higher(43.4 mg/100g.f.w.) in the basal parts of the medium size leaves and lowest in the whole parts(9.9 mg) of the small size leaves. Total polyphenol content was highest($1,384{\sim}1,258mg/100g.f.w.$) in the leaves, for all sizes, when extracted with 80% ethanol, followed by the stem bark(543 mg%), roots(369 mg%), stems(243 mg%), and thorns(223 g%). By determining DPPH activity, we found that antioxidant activity was higher in the ethanol extracts of the leaves than in the ethanol extracts of the thorns, stems, roots, and stem bark. While in the tea, no differences were found between the ethanol and water extracts.

This study aims to examine the effect of liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability on firm value, as well as the effect of disclosure of corporate social responsibility (CSR), which in this study is a moderator and company size as a control variable. The sampling technique used in this study is a purposive sampling method with certain criteria, to obtain a sample of 22 LQ45 index companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2014-2019. The data analysis method in this study used was the Multiple Linear Regression Analysis with the SPSS 18 Program. The results show that the ratios of liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability are significant to firm value in accordance with the initial hypothesis of the study. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plays a role as a moderating variable and company size variable as a control variable on the effect of financial ratios (liquidity, activity, leverage, and profitability) on firm value. The implication of this research is that CSR has a very important role in increasing company value. To attract more investors, companies must pay attention not only to financial performance but also to social performance. Large-scale companies tend to do more CSR so that the company value will increase.

This study analyzes the wearing and purchasing conditions of outdoor jackets by senior men who are over 50s, and examines product sizes of outdoor jackets in the market. A total of 134 questionnaires and sizing systems (or product size) of 10 outdoor brands were used as analytical data. The results were: a high number of senior men enjoyed hiking as an outdoor activity, with most of them following this activity1-3 times per month and as a preferred personal activity for over 5 years. Most needed outdoor wear suitable for these daily life activities. Outdoor wear satisfaction tends to decrease as people age. The major reason for the dissatisfaction with outdoor wear was price. Senior men aged 50s and 60s emphasize design and color when purchasing outdoor wear; however, men in their 70s considered price a priority. Senior men preferred outdoor brands based on a comfortable fit. An investigation on 10 outdoor brands indicated that they had not designated a specific target customer. A comparison of the product size of outdoor jackets with a similar silhouette indicated some deviations among sizes; however, the age of customers was not considered. The human body tends to shrink in stature and increase in girth as a person ages; consequently, we need to reflect body shape changes and senior's size in outdoor wear.

We report the catalytic activity of Au/$TiO_2$ and Pt/$TiO_2$ nanocatalysts under CO oxidation fabricated by arc plasma deposition (APD), which is a facile dry process with no organic materials involved. Using APD, the catalyst nanoparticles were well dispersed on $TiO_2$ powder with an average particle size (2~4 nm) well below that of nanoparticles prepared by the sol-gel method (10 nm). We found that the average particle size of the dispersed gold nanoparticles can be controlled by changing the plasma discharge voltage of APD. Accordingly, the amount of loaded gold on the $TiO_2$ powder increased with increasing discharge voltage, but the specific surface area of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples decreased. As for catalytic reactivity, Au/$TiO_2$ showed a higher catalytic activity than Pt/$TiO_2$ in CO oxidation. The catalytic activity of the Au/$TiO_2$ samples showed size dependence where higher catalytic activity occurred on smaller gold nanoparticles. The study suggests that APD is a simple way to fabricate catalytically active nanocatalysts.

This study evaluated the effects of the human activity and outdoor air on concentrations of size-selective particulate matters (PM) by conducting a realtime measurement in classrooms and on roofs at 4 elementary schools, 3 middle schools and 3 high schools in Incheon City. PM concentrations featured repetitive pattern of increasing during break time (including lunch hours) and cleaning time while decreasing during class hours. This trend was more prominent with inhalable PM and PM10 than fine PMs (PM2.5, PM1.0). The indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratio of inhalable PM and PM10 exceeded 1 while that of fine PMs was close to or below 1. The PM2.5 (out)/PM10 (out) ratio stood at 0.59 (${\pm}0.16$) and the PM2.5 (in)/PM10 (in) ratio was 0.29 (${\pm}0.09$), suggesting that occupant activity had a greater effect upon coarse particles (PM10-PM2.5) than upon fine particles (PM2.5, PM1.0). The correlations between the indoor and the outdoor PM concentrations showed a stronger positive correlation for fine particles than that of coarse particles. The linear regression analysis of PM concentrations indoor and outdoor indicated a higher determinant coefficient ($r^2>0.9$), and consistency for fine particles than in case of coarse particles. In conclusion, the results of this study suggest that the indoor coarse particle concentration is more attributed to occupant activity and the indoor fine particle concentration is more influenced by outdoor air pollution.

We have investigated the influence of the crystal structure on the chemical bonding nature and photocatalytic activity of cubic and hexagonal perovskite A[$Cr_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}$]O3 (A = Sr, Ba) compounds. According to neutron diffraction and field emission-scanning electron microscopy, the crystal structure and particle size of these compounds are strongly dependent on the nature of A-site cations. Also, it was found that the face-shared octahedra in the hexagonal phase are exclusively occupied by chromium ions, suggesting the presence of metallic (Cr-Cr) bonds. X-ray absorption and diffuse UV-vis spectroscopic analyses clearly demonstrated that, in comparison with cubic Sr[$Cr_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}$]$O_3$ phase, hexagonal Ba[$Cr_{1/2}Ta_{1/2}$]$O_3$ phase shows a decrease of Cr oxidation state as well as remarkable changes in interband Cr d-d transitions, which can be interpreted as a result of metallic (Cr-Cr) interactions. According to the test of photocatalytic activity, the present semiconducting materials have a distinct activity against the photodegradation of 4-chlorophenol. Also the Srbased compound was found to show a higher photocatalytic activity than the Ba-based one, which is attributable to its smaller particle size and its stronger absorption in visible light region.

TiO₂nanoparticles were synthesized using the metallorganic chemical vapor deposition process. Particles with and without metal ion dopants were obtained. X-ray photoelectron and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic measurements confirmed the stoichiometry of the TiO₂nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction patterns showed a polycrystalline anatase structure of TiO₂. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that these particles are of nanoscale dimensions. Exact particle size and size distribution analyses were carried out by dynamic light scattering. The average particle size was determined to be 22 nm. The nanosize particles provided large surface area for photocatalysis and a large number of free surface-charge carriers, which are crucial for the enhancement of photocatalytic activity. To improve the photocatalytic activity, metal ions, including transition metal ions $(Pd^{2+},\;Pt^{4+},\;Fe^{3+})$ and lanthanide ion $(Nd^{3+})$ were added to pure TiO₂nanoparticles. The effects of dopants on photocatalytic kinetics were investigated by the degradation of 2-chlorophenol under an ultraviolet light source. The results showed that the TiO₂nanoparticles with the metal ion dopants have higher photocatalytic activity than undoped TiO₂. The $Nd^{3+}$ ion of these dopant metal ions showed the highest catalytic activity. The difference in the photocatalytic activity with different dopants is related to the different ionic radii of the dopants.

The electrochemical deposition of Pt nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) supports and their catalytic activities for methanol electro-oxidation were investigated. Pt catalysts of 4~12 nm average crystalline size were grown on supports by potential cycling methods. Electro-plating of 12 min time by potential cycling method was sufficient to obtain small crystalline size 4.5 nm particles, showing a good electrochemical activity. The catalysts' loading contents were enhanced by increasing the deposition time. The crystalline sizes and morphology of the Pt/support catalysts were evaluated using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The electrochemical behaviors of the Pt/support catalysts were investigated according to their characteristic current-potential curves in a methanol solution. In the result, the electrochemical activity increased with increased plating time, reaching the maximum at 12 min, and then decreased. The enhanced electroactivity for catalysts was correlated to the crystalline size and dispersion state of the catalysts.
