Objective : This study was conducted to compare the effect of etomidate with that of thiopental on brain protection during temporary vessel occlusion, which was measured by burst suppression rate (BSR) with the Bispectral Index (BIS) monitor. Methods : Temporary parent artery occlusion was performed in forty one patients during cerebral aneurysm surgery. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups. General anesthesia was induced and maintained with 1.5-2.5 vol% sevoflurane and 50% $N_2O$. The pharmacological burst suppression (BS) was induced by a bolus injection of thiopental (5 mg/kg, group T) or etomidate (0.3 mg/kg, group E) according to randomization prior to surgery. After administration of drugs, the hemodynamic variables, the onset time of BS, the numerical values of BIS and BSR were recorded at every minutes. Results : There were no significant differences of the demographics, the BIS numbers and the hemodynamic variables prior to injection of drugs. The durations of burst suppression in group E ($11.1{\pm}6.8$ min) were not statistically different from that of group T ($11.1{\pm}5.6$ min) and nearly same pattern of burst suppression were shown in both groups. More phenylephrine was required to maintain normal blood pressure in the group T. Conclusion : Thiopental and etomidate have same duration and a similar magnitude of burst suppression with conventional doses during temporary arterial occlusion. These findings suggest that additional administration of either drug is needed to ensure the BS when the temporary occlusion time exceed more than 11 minutes. Etomidate can be a safer substitute for thiopental in aneurysm surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to analyze the results of the combined and posterior approaches for treating thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fractures and to find an adequate method of treatment. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 46 patients with unstable thoracolumbar and lumbar burst fractures who had been surgically treated. All cases were divided into two groups based on the operation method used. Eleven patients had undergone the combined approach, while 35 patients had undergone the posterior approach. Radiological and clinical evaluations were performed before surgery, after surgery, and at the final follow-up. Results: The stenotic ratios of the area occupied by the retropulsed bony fragments to the estimated area of the original spinal canal were 68.2% and 45.6% for the combined and the posterior approaches, respectively. No significant differences in the neurological improvement or the corrected state of the sagittal index were noted, but the patients who had been treated with the combined approach group had better results than those who had been treated with the posterior approach group in terms of correction and maintenance of the sagittal index. The average kyphosis corrections at the final follow-up were 15.3 degrees for the patients in the combined approach group and 10.0 degrees for those in the posterior approach group. Surgical time and estimated blood loss were all significantly higher for patients in the combined approach group. Conclusion: The combined and the posterior approaches showed similar results in the improvements of the neurologic state and the corrected state of the sagittal index. However, use of the combined approach is recommended for patients with severe kyphosis and with severe canal encroachment.

Synchrotron radiation of relativistic electrons is an important radiation mechanism in many astrophysical sources. In the sources where the synchrotron cooling timescale is shorter than the dynamical timescale, electrons are cooled down below the minimum injection energy. It has been believed that such fast-cooling electrons have a power-law distribution in energy with an index -2, and their synchrotron radiation has a photon spectral index -1.5. On the other hand, in a transient expanding astrophysical source, such as a gamma-ray burst (GRB), the magnetic field strength in the emission region continuously decreases with radius. Here we study such a system, and find that in a certain parameter regime, the fast-cooling electrons can have a harder energy spectrum. We apply this new physical regime to GRBs, and suggest that the GRB prompt emission spectra whose low-energy photon spectral index has a typical value -1 could be due to synchrotron radiation in this moderately fast-cooling regime.

동일 보스 오프닝에 대해 여러 형상의 돔을 설계할 수 있는 복합재 압력용기용 형상 식이 제시되었고, 이러한 돔 형상 변화에 따른 복합재 압력용기의 성능(파열압력*내부용적/복합재무게) 변화를 유한 요소 응력해석과 시험을 통해 규명하였다. 해석을 통해 예측한 돔 형상 변화에 따른 압력용기의 파열압력이 시험 결과와 좋은 일치를 나타내었다. 전반적으로 돔 형상이 낮아짐에 따라 압력용기 내부 용적이 증가하였으나, 파열 압력은 저하되는 현상을 나타내었다. 보스 오프닝 비(${\rho}_o$)가 0.54 이상인 경우, 돔 형상이 낮아짐에 따라 파열 압력이 저하되어 성능 저하가 나타났다. 그러나 보스 오프닝 비(${\rho}_o$)가 0.34이하 경우 돔 형상 변화에 따른 파열 압력 저하가 크지 않음으로 성능의 큰 변화가 없었다.

In this paper, the flame-retardant wall paper was successfully prepared with recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) short cut fiber with flame-retardant property and wood pulp using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as binder followed by treatment of non-halogen flame retardant. Physical properties such as formation index, tensile strength, elongation, and burst strength increased as defibrillation increased except tear strength. Bulk increased but formation index, tensile strength, elongation and burst strength decreased along with addition of PET short cut fiber. It was also found that tear strength rose significantly up to 30% of PET short cut fiber and then declined (fell) rapidly. As addition level of PVA increased tensile strength, elongation and burst strength increased, but tear strength decreased slightly. Addition of 20% of PET short cut fiber and 13% of PVA provided the flame-retardant wall paper with both improved flameproofing and physical properties.

The effects of refining either SwBKP or HwBKP, and both of SwBKP and HwBKP on the physical properties of paper were investigated in order to elucidate if the non-conventional refining and blending method can be used for the optimizing the paper properties. The blending ratio of SwBKP and HwBKP was 15:85. The highest bulk was obtained with the refining of SwBKP only. Any differences of opacity were not observed in unfilled paper, while the highest opacity of PCC filled paper was obtained at same bulk when the only HwBKP was refined. However burst index and tensile index did not showed any differences in the relationship with bulk. Therefore this result can be applied to improve the opacity of paper without sacrificing of strength properties.

기준기상위험이란 한 지역의 평년기후조건이 작물재배에 미칠 수 있는 '농업기상학적 피해가능성'으로서, 동일 작물 재배 시 지역에 따른 재해위험을 비교하는 기준이 된다. 지구온난화로 인하여 겨울 온도는 상승할 것으로 예상되지만, 기상이변의 빈도 또한 늘어날 것으로 전망되기 때문에 미래 기후조건에서 과수의 동해, 상해 등 저온에 의한 재해위험이 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 기후의 변화는 과수 생물계절도 변화시키므로 기상조건에 근거한 단순한 재해위험 전망은 기후변화적응의 실용측면에서 별 도움이 되지 못한다. 본 연구에서는 전국 주요 지역의 과거 및 기후변화시나리오를 이용하여 배, 복숭아, 사과의 생물계절을 예측하고 생육단계별 기온과의 상호작용에 근거하여 저온 유래 기준기상위험을 계산함으로써 미래의 재해가능성을 전망하였다. 휴면해제일은 미래로 갈수록 늦어질 것으로 전망되었으며, 발아일과 개화일의 경우 빨라질 것으로 예상되었다. 대구, 전주, 목포의 경우 휴면해제일의 지연 정도가 미래로 갈수록 커졌으며 발아일과 개화일의 경우 서울, 인천 지역이 다른 지역에 비해 늦게 나타났다. 서울과 인천, 대구와 전주, 부산과 목포가 서로 비슷한 양상을 나타내었다. 휴면기 동안에는 전 지역이 동해에 안전하였으나 휴면해제-발아기 동안에는 전 지역이 동해에 취약하였고, 발아기-개화기의 위험은 미래로 갈수록 대체로 낮아졌지만 지역에 따라 위험이 커지는 곳도 있었다.

본 연구는 제지 원료의 효율적 이용 및 기능의 최적화를 위한 수단으로 사용되고 있는 다층구조화에 따른 종이의 내부응력 및 물성의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 또한 최근 사용량이 급증되고 있는 재생섬유를 다층구조에 도입할 경우 수반되는 종이의 물성 변화도 조사되었다. 펄프의 고해처리는 단층지의 내부응력을 증가시켜준 반면 충전제의 사용은 내부응력을 감소시켰다. 종이의 다층구조화는 인열지수를 제외한 대부분의 종이물성과 내부응력을 감소시켰으며, 이러한 변화는 사용된 펄프의 종류, 고해수준, 원료의 배합 방법에 따라 다양하게 나타났다. 충전시에는 충전제를 외층 또는 내층에 사용함으로써 단층지보다 우수한 내부응력 및 종이물성을 얻을 수 있었다. 재생섬유를 사용할 때는 다층구조화를 통하여 투기도와 빳빳이의 개선이 가능하였으나, 파열지수가 감소되었다.

To improve the physical properties of OCC (Old Corrugated Container) fibers, we used the mechanical pre-treatment on the fibers before refining . The mechanical action in the Hobart mixer induced high shear and compression on the fibers, which resulted in changes of fiber internal structure, and microcompressions on the surface of the fibers. We evaluated the amount of mechanical treatment on the fibers by fiber curl index for convenience. Four different refining techniques were applied to the pre-treated fibers (valley beater, Kady mill, PFI mill, and Impact refining) to find the best combination of the pre-treatment and the refining methods. Conclusions were summarized as followed. 1. Mechanical pre-treatment in Hobart mixer for more than 1 hour caused the increase of curl index of OCC fibers, and increased breaking length, burst index, and tear index the handsheets more than 10 % in this experiment. 2. Kady mill and PFI mill refining were effective in keeping fiber length from shortening Kady mill and Valley beater refining straightened out the fiber curls, and reduced the curl index. 3. Valley beating reduced fiber length very fast and generated fines more than other refining methods. 4. To increase breaking length and burst strength while keeping tear strength , combination of mechanical pre-treatment and Valley beating were most effective.
