  • Aerosol concentrations at the CC-Lag site in the Teshio Experimental Forest increased from winter to spring and sometimes showed extremely high values associated with Kosa and/or forest-fire events. The range and mean of the mass concentrations of aerosol chemical species were as follows: total particulate mass, 1.2-29, 5.0; elemental carbon, 0.061-2.2, 0.43; organic carbon, 0.059-3.5, 0.79; and sulfate, 0.12-6.2, 1.8 ${\mu}g/m^3$. The total masses of the deposited particles on hybrid larch and on bamboo leaves were approximately 35 and 30 ${\mu}g/cm^2$, respectively. The amounts of soil particles on the leaves were 6 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for the upper part of hybrid larch, 2 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for the lower part of hybrid larch, and 1 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for Sasa bamboo leaves. The amounts of deposited black carbon were 2.3 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for the upper part of hybrid larch, 0.6 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for the lower part of hybrid larch, and 0.2 ${\mu}g/cm^2$ for Sasa bamboo leaves. Half of the total deposited particular mass was attached on the hybrid larch; however, most of the total deposited mass was adhered on the Sasa bamboo leaves. Regardless of the species, there tend to be more deposited particles on the leaves in the upper part than in the lower part, with only a few meters height difference. Comparing the composition of the deposited particles to that of the atmospheric aerosols without any size cut, the fractions of water-soluble material sulfate and sea salt in the deposited aerosols were about one tenth and one hundredth lower than that in the aerosols, respectively. On the basis of the measured concentration and the deposited amount on leaves, the deposition velocity of black carbon was estimated to be approximately 0.5 cm/s.

Effects of the Composition on the Consolidation Temperature and Refractive Index of the Glass Thin Film Fabricated by Aerosol Flame Deposition Method in $\textrm{SiO}_2$-$\textrm{B}_2\textrm{O}_3$-CaO-$\textrm{P}_2\textrm{O}_5$ System ($\textrm{SiO}_2$-$\textrm{B}_2\textrm{O}_3$-CaO-$\textrm{P}_2\textrm{O}_5$계에서 조성이 Aerosol Flame Deposition법에 의해 제조된 유리박막의 열처리 온도와 굴절률에 미치는 영향)

  • The effects of the composition on the consolidation temperature and refractive index of the glass thin film fabricated by aerosol flame deposition method in SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$-CaO-P$_2$O\ulcorner system were investigated. When the amount of CaO was constant in SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$-CaO system the consolidation temperature of glass thin film decreased with increasing the amount of B$_2$O$_3$. Also, when the amount of SiO$_2$ and B$_2$O$_3$ was constant the consolidation temperature of glass thin film increased with increasing the amount of CaO. P$_2$O\ulcorner was added to 72.5SiO$_2$-25B$_2$O$_3$-2.5CaO in order to decrease its consolidation temperature. As the amount of P$_2$O\ulcorner increased its consolidation temperature decreased and the refractive index linearly increased from 1.4649 to 1.4684. When the amount of CaO and P$_2$O\ulcorner was constant in SiO$_2$-B$_2$O$_3$-CaO-P$_2$O\ulcorner system the consolidation temperature of glass thin film decreased with increasing the ratio of SiO$_2$/B$_2$O$_3$.

  • Pulmonary embolism demands rapid and accurate diagnosis. And ventilation imaging has greatly improved the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary embolism in addition to perfusion imaging. Agents currently used include xenon-133, krypton-81m and technetium-99m radioaerosols. However radioactive gases are compromised by availability and cost for krypton-81m, radiation dose, gamma energy and non?physiologic behaviour for xenon-133. Radioaerosols of technetium-99m componds are rapidly cleared from the lung after inhalation, and their relative low effeciency (specific radioactivity) and wide distribution of particle sizes make them also suboptimum. A new ventilation agent, Technegas is a suspension of structured graphite ellipsoids with diameter below 20nm, labelled with $^{99m}Tc$ in a carrier gas of Argon. This report describes the authors' clinical experience with Technegas. This is the first reported clinical study of this agent in Korea. A comparison of Technegas and $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ aerosol was performed in 12 patients with various pulmonary diseases such as COPD, pulmonary tuberculosis and pleural effusion. All patients were studied with $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ aerosol inhalation and Technegas ventilation. In both studies image quality was assessed (1) semiquantitatively by scoring bronchial and gastric activity, (2) subjectively by direct visual comparison of peripheral lung images and (3) quantitatively by computing the peripheral penetration index(PI) for each lungs. The bronchial activites were seen in 7 out of 12 cases with $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ aerosol and in 5/12 with Technegas. The gastric activities were seen in 5/12 and 1/12 cases respectively. The average values of PI were 61.26% with $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ aerosol and 69.20% with Technegas (p>0.05). Using $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ aerosol, COPD patients showed deposition in the central airways with poor visualization of the peripheral areas of the lungs. In Technegas studies these phenomena were less prominent, and the examination is well tolerated by pateients and requires only a minimum of patient cooperation. With superiority of easy availability and handling, better physical characteristics and favorable Image quality, Technegas is a Promising agent for lung ventilation scanning.

  • Using pyrosol method, based on the pyrolysis of an aerosol produced by ultrasonic spraying, the deposition of transparent conducting oxides (TCO) such as $In_2O_3$ : Sn, $SnO_2$ : Sb and $SnO_2$ : F on glass substrates was studied. The electrical, optical and structural properties as functions of substrate temperature, dopant concentration, substrate type and carrier gas type were investigated.
