  • 해양에 대한 인간의 이용과 활동의 증가는 해양오염, 해양생태계 및 서식지 파괴로 이어지고 있다. 이러한 결과, 특히 생애주기가 길고 개체수가 적은 해양동물은 멸종위기에 내몰리고 있는 실정이다. 따라서, 우리나라 정부는 2010년부터 수족관이나 해양박물관과 같이 인공적인 서식장소 11개를 서식지외 보전기관으로 지정하여 멸종위기에 처한 해양생물들을 보전하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 그러나, 해양생물의 보전 서비스를 제공하는 서식지외 보전기관에 대한 중요성과 그 경제적 가치를 추정한 연구는 아직 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 해양동물의 보호와 증식을 위한 관리방안인 서식지외 보전기관의 운영정책에 대한 일반시민들의 정량적 지지도를 추정하는 것이다. 이를 위해 우리나라 푸른바다거북의 보전을 위해 시식지외 보전기관으로 운영되고 국립해양박물관의 해양동물 보전역할에 대한 경제적 가치를 추정하였다. 연구의 결과, 서식지외 보전기관과 같은 비시장재인 공공재에 대한 대표적인 가치추정법인 조건부가치추정법을 적용하여 추정된 서식지외 보전기관(국립해양박물관)의 경제적 가치는 약 418억원에서 최대 약 781억원으로 나타났다. 이러한 본 연구의 결과는 해양동물관리 정책자들에게 우리나라 연안해역에 서식하는 멸종위기에 처한 해양동물의 효율적인 관리방안 수립에 유용한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 태양열을 동력원으로 하여 열에너지를 동력으로 변환, 물을 양수할 목적으로 저온 상변화물질인 펜탄을 작동물질로 하는 에너지변환장치를 제작하여 실험하였다. 장치는 각부의 크기를 그 기능과 상호작용 원리에 따라 논리에 맞게 최적 설계하였다. 장치의 제작 후 실험을 통하여 그 운전 특성을 분석하여 성능향상에 필요한 자료를 획득하고자 하였다. 작동물질인 펜탄을 가열하는 탱크 내부의 온도는 사이클 경과시간에 따라 약 $40­86^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 변동하고 있었으며, 물탱크내 온도 약 $23­24^{\circ}C$, 공기탱크 내 온도 $22­23.5^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 비교적 일정하게 유지되고 있었다. 응축기내의 온도와 냉각수출구 온도는 냉각수입구 온도수준에 따라 정의 상관관계로 변하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 열 교환 능력도 냉각수 온도수준이 낮을수록 커진다는 것을 확인하였다. 물탱크 내 온도와 응축기내 온도가 상당히 차이가 나므로 물탱크와 응축기와의 연결거리를 최소화하고 연결파이프 크기를 큰 것으로 하여 내부물질이동 저항을 줄이는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 실험 중 양수량은 1.6­2.4 liter로 나타났으며, 냉각시간의 수준에 따른 물탱크내의 흡입물높이 상승은 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 응축기로부터의 냉각수 배출파이프가 연장되지 않은 경우 냉각수 유량이 5.9 liter/min 이었으나 연장파이프가 있을 때는 2.3 liter/min으로 나타났다. 이러한 현상에서 양수하는 물의 온도가 낮고 유량이 부족한 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하는 것이 좋고, 냉각수치 양은 풍부하지만 그 온도가 낮지 않은 경우에는 연장파이프를 이용하지 않는 것이 좋다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 실험에서의 응축기내 냉각수의 최대 열교환량은 95.75 kJ/min로 나타났다. 작동물질가열탱크와 기액 분리탱크 내의 압력은 0.13­0.14 MPa.a, 물탱크와 응축기내의 압력은 약 0.11 MPa.a정도로 나타났다.

  • A heart supplies blood of about 15, 000 liters to each human organ in a day. A normal function of heart valves is necessary to accomplish these enormous work of heart. The disease of heart valve develops to a narrowness of a closure, resulting in an abnormal circulation of blood. In an attempt to eliminate the affliction of heart valves, the operative method to replace with artificial heart valves has developed and saved numerous patients over past 30 years. This replacement operation has been performed since early 1960`s in Korea, but all the artificial heart valves used are imported from abroad with very high costs until recent years. New artificial heart valves have been developed in Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology since early 1980`s. The first developed valve was designed with a free-floating pyrolytic carbon disk that is suspended in a titanium cage. The design of the valve was tested in vitro, and in animals in 1987. The results from this study was that the eccentrically placed struts creates a major and minor orifice when the disc opens and stagnation of flow in the area of the minor orifice has led to valve thrombosis. In this work, the design of the valve was changed from a single - leaflet valve to double - leaflet one in order to resolve the problems observed in the first - year tests. Morphological and hemodynamic studies were made for the newly designed valves through the in vitro and in vivo tests. The design and partial materials of the artificial heart valve was improved comparing with first - year`s model. The disc in the valve was modified from single - leaflet to bi - leaflet, and the material of the cage was changed from titanium metal to silicon - alloyed pyrolytic carbon. A test was made for the valve in order to examine its mechanical performance and stability. Morphological and hemodynamic studies were made for the valve that had been implanted in tricuspid position of mongrel dogs. All the test animals were observed just before the deaths. A new artificial heart valve was designed and fabricated in order to resolve the problems observed in the old model. The new valve was verified to have good stability and high resistance to wear through the performance tests. The hemodynamic properties of the valve after implantation were also estimated to be good in animal tests. Therefore, the results suggest that the newly designed valve in this work has a good quality in view of the biocompatibility. However, valve thrombosis on valve leaflets and annulus were found. This morphological findings were in accordance with results of surface polishing status studies, indicating that a technique of fine polishing of the surface is necessary to develop a valve with higher quality and performance.

  • 본 연구는 최근 개발된 광합성세균(Rhodopseudomonas capsulata)을 이용한 연속적 폭기식 생물 반응조(이하 CABR)를 이용한 무희석 양돈 분뇨의 처리 결과를 보고하고 있다. CABR를 이용하여 24시간 동안 양돈 분뇨를 폭기 처리한 결과 유입량의 40%가 증발되었고, 유입분뇨의 전체 BOD, COD중 87%, 32%가 각각 제거되었으며, 전질소(T-N), 전인(T-P)은 각각 110%, 112%로 증가되었다. CABR 배출액의 질소 형태를 분석한 결과 암모니아성 질소($NH_4-N$) 농도는 저하된 반면, 유기태 질소(Org-N)농도는 증가하였다. 양돈분뇨의 주요 BOD원이며 악취의 주요물질인 저급지방산은 CABR의 처리결과 거의 제거 되었다. 한편 CABR 배출액의 유기액비로서의 이용성을 검토하였다. CABR 배출액은 식물성장에 필요한 질소, 인산, 칼리의 함량이 비교적 균형있게 포함되어 있으며, 특히 질소의 86%는 유기태질소(Org0N)로 되어 있어 완효성 비료로서의 이용 가능성이 시사되었다. 또한 중금속의 함량도 낮아 위해성의 문제는 없는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이탈리안 라이그라스(목초)의 토경재배 실험결과 일반화학비료에 비해 생육량이 증가되었으며, 특히 질산태질소($NO_3-N$)의 작물내 함유량이 매우 낮았다. 이러한 결과는 CABR 배출액이 농작물 생산에 매우 적합한 유기액비로서 이용할 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

  • Eik-Nes (1966) reported that the mechanism of spermatogenesis is controlled by FSH and LH and maintaned normally in scrotum terperautre which is 3-5$^{\circ}C$ lower than body termperature. But Ojeda and Ramirez (1972) have described that the abdominal testis was shrinked severely and lost its normal function in congenital cryptorchidism or surgically induced cryptorchidism. Ramirez and Sawyer (1974) reported that the compensatory hypertorphy occured in the remaining testis of unilateral castration and the scrotal testis of unilateral cryptorchidism. Cunninham et al. (1978) reported that the serum FSH levle increased after unilateral castration. Frankel and Wright (1982) reported that the serum LH level was unchanged greatly after unilateral castration. Gomes and Jain (1976) reported that the serum testosterone level increased temporarily but not varied after unilateral castration. On the other hand, Kormano et al. (1964) reported that the serum FSH level in unilateral cryptorchidism rat was unchanged in contrast with the control and Risbirdger et al. (1981) reported that the serum LH level was unchanged till 2 weeks after operation and after then increased to 77%. Kim (1984) reported that the serum testosterone level was somewhat lower than that fo control group but there was't significant different. There were many different reports on hormone levels among different investigators when the immarue rats were castrated unilaterally or induced cryptorchidism unilaterally. Liang and Liang (1970) and Cunningham et al. (1978) described that there were no true compenastory hypertrophy in the remaining testis of unilateral castration and scrotal testis of unilateral testis of unilateral cryptorchidism in rat but they grew faster than that of control. Kormano et al.(1964), Damber et al.(1976), Cunningham et al.(1978) and Karpe et al.(1981) reported that the testis weight, germinal epithelia height and seminiferous tubules diameter developed continuously and similarily in the control, the remaining testis of unilateral castration and scrotal testis of unilateral cryptorchidism increased, however, in the abdominal testis of the unilateral cryptorchidism, they were much smaller than those of other groups. In observation of the histological changes in the seminiferous epithelium of control, remaining tesis of unilateral castration and scrotal testis of unilateral cryptorchidism differentiated and developed fully(Cunningham et al., 1978). However, the abdominal testis of unilateral crytorchidism degenerated severely and only the germ cells in early stage and Sertoli cells were found in the seminiferous tubules. (Damber et al., 1976, Gomes and Jain, 1976 and Karpe et al., 1981). By electron microscopic observation, Nagano (1963) and Leason and Leeson (1970) found that the abdominal testis of unilateral cryptorchidism was thicked in boundary tissue, increased lipid droplet in the Sertoli cell, disarranged axial filament complex and increased lipid inclusions in the Sertoli cell.

  • The development of severe pericardial adhesion after cardiovascular surgical procedures often increases the risk of injuring the heart, great vessels, or extracardiac grafts during resternotomy. Several pericardial substitutes have been tested in an attempt to facilitate reoperation with inconclusive results. This study was designed to evaluate the applicability of two different materials as pericardial substitutes to minimize the pericardial adhesion and epicardial reaction. A procedure for induction of pericardial adhesion was carried out in 30 rabbits. Rabbits were divided into three groups of ten rabbits each: Group 1[control, simple pericardial closure]: Group 2[bovine pericardium as pericardial substitute]: Group 3[e-polytetrafluoroethylene surgical membrane, e-PTFE as a pericardial substitute]. Bovine pericardium or e-PTFE surgical membrane was interposed between the sternum and the heart. Rabbits were sacrificed at 4 weeks after operation. The development of adhesions and epicardial reactions were graded as: none [I]; minimal[II]; moderate[Ill]; and severe[1V]. Histologic studies of the substitute, the pericardium, and the epicardium were performed. The results were as follows; l. In group 1[control group], the degree of pericardial adhesions were grade I in none, grade II in 1, grade III in 3, and grade 1V in 6 animals. Epicardial reactions were grade I in none, grade II in 3, grade K in 4, grade 1V in 3 animals respectively. 2. In group 2[bovine pericardium], the degree of pericardial adhesions were grade I in 1, grade II in 5, grade III in 3, and grade 1V in 1 animal. Epicardial reactions were grade I in 1, grade II in 2, grade III in 4, and grade 1V in 3 animals respectively. 3. In group 3[e-PTFE], the degree of pericardial adhesions were grade I in 7 animals, grade II in 2, grade III in 1, and grade g in none. Epicardial reactions were grade I in 4, grade II in 3, grade III in 2, and grade IV in 1 animal respectively. Pericardial adhesions more than grade II were 90.9% in group 1, 40 % in group 2, and 10% in group 3. Pericardial adhesions were significantly reduced in group 3 compared to group 1 or 2. Epicardial reactions more than grade II were 70 % in group 1, 70 % in group 2 and 30 % in group 3. We concluded that this 0.1mm thick polytetrafluoroethylene surgical membrane is a suitable pericardial substitute to minimize the development of pericardial adhesion or epicardial reaction following cardiovascular surgery.

  • The demand for flexible electronic systems such as wearable computers, E-paper, and flexible displays has increased due to their advantages of excellent portability, conformal contact with curved surfaces, light weight, and human friendly interfaces over present rigid electronic systems. This seminar introduces three recent progresses that can extend the application of high performance flexible inorganic electronics. The first part of this seminar will introduce a RRAM with a one transistor-one memristor (1T-1M) arrays on flexible substrates. Flexible memory is an essential part of electronics for data processing, storage, and radio frequency (RF) communication and thus a key element to realize such flexible electronic systems. Although several emerging memory technologies, including resistive switching memory, have been proposed, the cell-to-cell interference issue has to be overcome for flexible and high performance nonvolatile memory applications. The cell-to-cell interference between neighbouring memory cells occurs due to leakage current paths through adjacent low resistance state cells and induces not only unnecessary power consumption but also a misreading problem, a fatal obstacle in memory operation. To fabricate a fully functional flexible memory and prevent these unwanted effects, we integrated high performance flexible single crystal silicon transistors with an amorphous titanium oxide (a-TiO2) based memristor to control the logic state of memory. The $8{\times}8$ NOR type 1T-1M RRAM demonstrated the first random access memory operation on flexible substrates by controlling each memory unit cell independently. The second part of the seminar will discuss the flexible GaN LED on LCP substrates for implantable biosensor. Inorganic III-V light emitting diodes (LEDs) have superior characteristics, such as long-term stability, high efficiency, and strong brightness compared to conventional incandescent lamps and OLED. However, due to the brittle property of bulk inorganic semiconductor materials, III-V LED limits its applications in the field of high performance flexible electronics. This seminar introduces the first flexible and implantable GaN LED on plastic substrates that is transferred from bulk GaN on Si substrates. The superb properties of the flexible GaN thin film in terms of its wide band gap and high efficiency enable the dramatic extension of not only consumer electronic applications but also the biosensing scale. The flexible white LEDs are demonstrated for the feasibility of using a white light source for future flexible BLU devices. Finally a water-resist and a biocompatible PTFE-coated flexible LED biosensor can detect PSA at a detection limit of 1 ng/mL. These results show that the nitride-based flexible LED can be used as the future flexible display technology and a type of implantable LED biosensor for a therapy tool. The final part of this seminar will introduce a highly efficient and printable BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates. Energy harvesting technologies converting external biomechanical energy sources (such as heart beat, blood flow, muscle stretching and animal movements) into electrical energy is recently a highly demanding issue in the materials science community. Herein, we describe procedure suitable for generating and printing a lead-free microstructured BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates to overcome limitations appeared in conventional flexible ferroelectric devices. Flexible BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator was fabricated and the piezoelectric properties and mechanically stability of ferroelectric devices were characterized. From the results, we demonstrate the highly efficient and stable performance of BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator.

  • 1. The historical development of the agriculture in Korea is observed and the future of Korean agriculture is suggested with present situation in order to recommend a direction of policy in agricultural mechanization. 2. A factor analysis of agricultural mechanization The needs of agricultural mechanization in the view of both national need and the armer's desire under the present situation are analyzed with data from the various sources. The researcher found that the agricultural mechanization is badly needed to develop prospective Korean agriculture to future. 3. The direction of agricultural mechanization. It can be said that the position of agriculture in the national economy plays a very important role. This importance should not be ignored by the Politicians in their process of developing long range economy plan. The agricultural mechanization for the modernized Korean agriculture should be directed to increase the most effective results with minimize the least sacrifice. The merry tiller is recommended to the main agricultural machinery in Korea in order to meet its small farming operation un-its(or farm size). Tractor is recommended in the plain area for the crop cultivation. The cooperative cultivation for rice and the upland crops will be developed in the plain area. Tractor, therefore, is recommended for the main agricultural machinery in these areas. Either tractor or merry tiller is recommended to the orchard area by its operating size of the orchard. The researcher also disoussed about the development of animal husbandry on the farm with increasing the farm size in order to develop meadow and pasture nuder the consideration of both the improvement of food consumption and the comprehensive development of national resources. 4. Relationship between the Performance of various agricultural machinery and the economic scale. Because of the agricultural machinery needs an expensive fixed expense(fixed cost) the total expense Per ha of the fixed expense and the operation expense should less than the traditional expense Per Dan Bo with in creased corpgiclds Per Dan Bo. Since the anual fixed expense of the agricultural machinery is figured out by the durability the more the farm size the less fixed expense of machinery is required. The formula of this principle is as follows; fixed expense for Dan Bo=Fixed expense of agricultural machinery farm size(or farming scale) The breaking-even point is the balance point between the expense of the using agricultural machinery and the traditional farming expenses. Labor cost of the Dan Bo is increasing when the management scale increases by the tradititional farming while the machanized management decrease the management cost Per Dan Bo. The reseracher found that the distribution of agricultural machinery will be the adeventeous after the year of 1981 by the result of frguring out the breaking-even point. 5. The Investigate and the conclusion. The purpose of this study is found out the direction of agricultural machanization and the breaking-even point of various agricultural machinery, there for is found out effective of the using various agricultural machinery for Collection cutter, Binder, Footing thresser, Semi-power thresser, Power thresser, Combine, Power rice-Trans-Planter, etc.

  • 목적: 횡격막 파열은 그 진단이 어렵고 지연되는 경우가 많으며, 진단이 늦어지면 유병율과 사망율이 높아지므로 조기진다는 매우 중요하다. 저자들은 최근 많이 이용되는 영상진단법인 나선형 CT와 자기공명영상, 그리고 초음파건사중 어떤 방법이 가장 예민하고 정확한 진단방법인지 동물실험 모델을 통하여 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 토끼에서 인위적으로 횡격막파열을 대, 중, 소로 만든 후 1일, 3일, 7일째 나선형 CT와 자기공명영상, 그리고 초음파검사를 동시에 시행하였다. 결과: 횡격막파열의 진단 민감도와 특이도는 초음파검사가 94.4%와 92.9%, 자기 공명영상이 54.0%와 85.75, 나선형 CT가 46.0%와 78.6%이었다. 횡격막 파열의 진단은 초음파검사, 자기공명영상, 나선형 CT순으로 정확하였으며 초음파 검사가 자기공명영상이나 나선형 CT보다 유의하게 우월하였고(P<0.05), 자기공명영상과 나선형 CT는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 초음파검사는 파열의 크기와 상관없이 횡격막파열의 구별이 용이하였고 자기공명영상과 나선형 CT는 파열의 크기가 클수록 횡격막파열의 구별이 용이하였으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 수술후 1일에는 전예에서 늑막삼출액이나 혈흉을 동반하였다. 이때에는 초음파나 자기공명영상이 나선형 CT에 비해 우월하였다. 시간경과에 따랄 초음파검사와 자기공명영상은 진단율이 상대적으로 저하되었으나 통게적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05) 탈장을 동반한 경우에는 진단의 민감도가 자기공명영상, 나선형 CT, 초음파검사순으로 높았으며 초음파검사가 상대적으로 낮았다. 그러나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(P>0.05). 결론: 초음파검사가 횡격막파열의 진단에 가장 유용한 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 이러한 결과는 앞으로 임상에 적용하여 검증되어야 할 필요가 있다고 생각된다.
