This study was performed to estimate quartz contents in the both bulk and airborne dust samples and to determine particle size distribution of airborne dust from the selected foundry operations. Total dust samples were collected by a 37mm cassette and respirable by a 10 mm nylon cyclone. Particle size distributions were determined by a Marple's 8-stage cascade impactor at the melting, molding, shakeout and finishing operations. The presence of elements in the dust samples were confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy equipped with the energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry. The quartz contents were estimated using the intensity of the absorption peak of quartz at 799 cm-l by the Fourie Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results were as follows: 1. The analysis of data from cascade Impactor showed bimodal distributions of particle size at the melting, molding and shakeout operations. Mass median aerodynamic diameters for the distributions determined by histogram were $0.48-1.65{\mu}m$ for small and $13.43-19.58{\mu}m$ for large modes. In the dust samples collected at the finishing operations, however, only a large mode of $18.89{\mu}m$ was found. 2. The percentages of total to respirable dust concentration calculated from the impactor data ranged from 42 % to 66 %. The average concentrations of respirable dust by cyclone were $0.85-1.28mg/m^3$ collected from the workers, and were $0.23-0.56mg/m^3$ from the areas surveyed. Dust concentrations of personal samples were statistically significantly higher than those of area samples. The highest dust concentration was obtained from the personal samples of the finishing operation. 3. The mean percentages of silicon and oxygen estimated by SEM-EDXA in the bulk samples ranged from 35.83 % to 36.02 % and from 39.93 %-41.64 %, respectively. 4. The average quartz contents estimated by FTIR in the respirable dust from personal samples ranged from 4.32 % to 5.36 % and 4.54 % to 4.70 % in the bulk samples. No statistical difference of quartz content was found between foundry operations. In this study, quartz content was quantified by FTIR. Although no statistically significant difference in quartz content between airborne and bulk, samples and between different foundry operations was found, it is recommended that quartz content in the individual sample of respirable dust be analyzed and the results be used either to select an applicable quartz limits or to calculate the exposure limit. Further studies, however, are needed to compare the results by FTIR and XRD since it is reported that the quartz content determined by FTIR is different from that by XRD.

남극의 토양 환경에 대한 기초자료를 확보하기 위하여 킹조지섬 바톤반도에 위치한 세종기지 주변지역의 토양 성분과 토양을 구성하는 점토광물의 종류 및 분포, 조성을 규명하고자 X선 회절분석과 습식분석(철의 산화도와 양이온 교환능 측정), 투과전자현미경-전자에너지 손실 분광분석, 전함량 분석을 실시하였다. X선 회절 분석을 실시한 결과, 스멕타이트, 일라이트, 카올리나이트, 녹니석이 주요 점토광물로 함유되어 있으며 석영, 사장석 등의 화산활동 기원 초생광물도 함께 수반되어 나타났다. 토양 시료의 철 산화도 분포는 대부분의 지점에서 Fe(II)이 20~40%, Fe(III)이 50% 이상 토양 입자상에 존재하였고, 나노 스케일에서 스멕타이트를 분석했을 때 광물 구조 내 $Fe(III)/{\Sigma}Fe$이 약 57%로 분석되어 전체 토양의 철 산화도와 유사한 결과를 보였다. 양이온 교환능은 전반적으로 100-300 meq/kg 범위였으며, 시료 채취지점에 따른 유의미한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 전체 토양의 전함량 분석결과, 광물의 주 구성 원소(Mg, K, Na, Al, Fe)는 지점에 따른 차이를 보이고 있는 반면, 중금속 원소(Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mn)는 지점별로 유사하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과들은 토양을 구성하는 기반암이 기본 원소 분포에 영향을 줄 수 있음을 보여준다. 따라서 본 연구 결과는 남극 지표 토양환경과 토양 내 점토광물에 대한 기초자료 확보에 있어서 많은 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Statement of problem: Damping of the peak force transmitted to implants has been reported by in vitro studies using impact forces on resin-veneered superstructures. Theoretical assumptions suggest that use of acrylic resin for the occlusal surfaces of a prosthesis would protect the connection between implant and bone. Therefore, the relationship between prosthesis materials and the force transmitted through the implant system also needs to be investigated under conditions that resemble the intraoral mechanical environment. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the fracture strength and modes of temporary prosthesis when a flange or occlusally extended structure were connected on the top of the abutment. Material and method: Modified abutments of winged and bulk design were made by casting the desired wax pattern which is made on the UCLA type plastic cylinder. Temporary crowns were made using templates on the modified abutments, and its fracture toughness and strain were compared to the traditional temporary prosthesis. To evaluate the effect of aging, 5.000 times of thermocycling were performed, and their result was compared to the 24hours specimen result. Results: The following conclusions were drawn from this study: 1. In the fracture toughness test, temporary crown's fracture line located next to the screw hole while modified designs with metal support showed fracture line on the metal and its propagation along the metal-resin interface. 2. Wing and bulk structure didn't show significant difference in the fracture toughness (p>0.05), but wing structure showed stress concentration on the screw hole area compared to bulk structure which showed even stress distribution. 3. In the fracture toughness test after thermocycling, wing and bulk structure showed increased or similar results in metal supported area while off-metal area and temporary crown showed decreased results. 4. In the strain measurement after thermocycling, its value increased in the temporary and bulk structure. However, wing structure showed decreased value in the loading point while increased value in the screw hole area. Conclusion: Wing type design showed compatible result to the bulk type that its application with composite resin prosthesis to the implant dentistry is considered promising.

The objectives of this study were to examine the biodegradation of phenol using the anaerobic fluidized bed reactor(AFBR). Mixed microorganisms were selected from the anaerobic digestion tank, and could be adapted to high concentration of phenol by increasing the phenol concentration 600-3600 mg/l step by step. The results were summarized as follows: 1. The average removal efficiency of phenol was 90%, decreased by increasing concentration of phenol, and then a shock range was 1200~2400 ppm. 2. The production rate of biogas in overall limits was proportional to the concentration of influent phenol. 3. At steady state, compositions of gases were $CH_4$ 55~60%, $C0_2$ 34~43%, respectively. These were similar to that of the theoretical estimates. 4. The production rates of biogas and methane per the molarity of phenol removed were linearly increased, 56.45 l gas/mol-phenol and 29.20 l $CH_4/mol$-phenol. Using this biogas, the recoverable energy was 269.1 kcal/mol phenol. It was 120.2 kcal/g-COD, transforming into the chemical oxygen demand. 5. The bulk of microorganisms existed in suspended section of fluidized bed with type of biofilm and its concentration was 340 mg/g-media. In conclusion, the anaerobic treatment of pure phenol was possible and its removal efficiency, introducing the AFBR, was successful. Also toxic organic compound such as phenol was biodegradable and was recoverable as resource of energy.

This study was aimed to thoroughly estimate the characteristics of indoor particulate matter (PM) collected on subway platforms by the cooperative approach of semi-bulk and single particle analyses. The size-resolved PM and its number concentration were measured on the platform in a heavily traveled subway station in Fukuoka, Japan. Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and micro-PIXE techniques were applied to the chemical analyses of semi-bulk and single particle, respectively. There was the close resemblance of timely fluctuation between PM number concentration and train service on the third basement floor (B3F) platform compared to the second basement floor (B2F) and its maximum level was marked in rush hour. Higher number counts in large particles ($>1{\mu}m$) and lower number counts in fine particles ($<1{\mu}m$) were shown on the platform compared to an above ground. PM2.5 accounted for 58.2% and 38.2 % of TSP on B3F and on B2F, respectively. The elements that were ranked at high concentration in size-resolved semi-bulk PM were Fe, Si, Ca, S, and Na. The major elements tending to have more elevated levels on B3F than B2F were Fe (4.4 times), Ca (17.3 times), and Si (46.4 times). Although concentrations were very low, Cr ($11.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $2.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), Mn ($3.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $0.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), and Pb ($0.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $1.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F) were detected from PM2.5. Individual PM was nearly all enriched in Fe with Si and Ca. Classifying and source profiling of the individual particles by elemental maps and particle morphology were tried and particles were presumably divided into four groups (i.e., train/rail friction, train-rail sparking, ballast/abrasive, and cement).

생물학적 수처리공정의 생물막 (호기성 혹은 혐기성) 내의 생물막 두께 및 이온들의 농도구배등에 대한 모델링을 위하여 종래에 이론적으로만 접근하던 방법 대신, 실제로 생물막을 이동하며 측정하여 분석하는 첨단 연구 방법인 미소전극탐침을 제작하여 적용하였다. 미소전극 센서장치에서 가장 중요한 요소 중에 하나인 working 미소전극탐침은 생물막내의 전위차 (EMF, electromotive force)를 측정할 때 오염과 파손 등에 의해서 수명이 짧아지기 쉽기 때문에, 각각의 working 미소전극탐침의 제작방법에 대하여 논의하였으며, 제작된 pH와 $NO_3{^-}$ 미소전극탐침으로 탈질 미생물막 이온들의 농도를 막 깊이별로 측정하였다. 미소전극 센서장치에 의한 측정결과, 탈질 미생물막 내부에서의(생물막 표면에서 약 $350{\mu}m$) pH는 8.3 정도로 벌크용액상(bulk solution)의 pH 8보다 약간 상승하였으며, $NO_3{^-}$의 농도는 벌크용액상의 30 mg N/L농도에서 최종 4 mg N/L 청도로 나타났다.

Ion-exchange membranes have been widely used in various applications such as diffusion dialysis, electrolysis, electrodialysis, fuel cell etc [1-2]. When an electric current passes through the membrane system, the current is carried by both positive and negative ions in the bulk solution phases, whereas it is carried mainly by the counter-ions in the membrane.

Electrostatic spinnings were performed with the solutions of PAN/DMF to be nanofiber webs. The diameter of the fibers ranged from 200 nm to 1000 nm depending on the PAN concentration and on the applied DC voltage. The nanofibers were oxidatively stabilized and subsequently carbonized up to $1000^{\circ}C$ with carbonization yield of 40%. The bulk electric conductivity of the carbonized web increased form $6.8{\times}10^{-3}S/cm$ to 1.96 S/cm while the carbonizaton temperature increased from $700^{\circ}C$ to $1000^{\circ}C$.

역상 현탁중합법을 이용하여 폴리(아크릴산 포타슘-co-아크릴아마이드) 고흡수성 수지를 입자형태로 제조하였다. 제조된 고분자의 평균 입자 지름은 50～300 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 범위 내에서 계면활성제의 양이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 중량측정법을 이용하여 흡수 및 증발 과정에서의 동적, 평형 팽윤 특성을 살펴보았다. 수용액 내에서의 흡수에 따른 입자의 팽윤도는 가교밀도뿐만 아니라 입자의 크기, 외부수용액의 염 농도, 공중합체 조성 등에 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 입자 크기, 첨가된 가교제의 농도, 그리고 외부의 이온농도가 감소함에 따라 흡수되는 물의 양이 증가하였다. 수분증발거동은 흡수거동과는 달리 입자의 크기나 공중합체의 조성, 가교제 양 등에 많은 영향을 받지 않았다.
