The present work is a continuation of our previous study to investigate the effects of parameters such as equivalence ratio, hydrogen supplement rate and initial pressure on combustion characteristics in a disk-shaped constant volume combustion chamber. The main results obtained from the study can be summarized as follows. The flames in near stoichiometric mixture of methane-air are propagated with a spherical shape, but in excess rich or lean mixtures are propagated with a elliptical shape. And, they are changed to an unstable elliptical shape flame with very regular cells by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate. Also, flame is sluggishly propagated at increased initial pressure in combustion chamber. Volume fraction of burned gas and flame radius as the combustion characteristics are increased by increasing the hydrogen supplement rate, especially at the combustion middle period, but then are slowly increased by increasing the initial pressure.

In this paper, the windmill type ultrasonic motors with 11.35 mm diameter, 2.87 mm thickness of metal endcap and 1.47 g weight were fabricated. Effects of slots and thickness on torque characteristic in the windmill type ultrasonic motor were investigated, when stator's slots were changed from 4, 6, 8 and thickness 0.15 mm, respectively. Specially designed metal endcaps with windmill shaped cutting can provide longitudinal and torsional displacements simultaneously as the ceramic disk vibrates radically. The windmill type ultrasonic motor has only three components: a stator element with windmill shape slotted metal endcap, a rotor and bearing. Ultrasonic motor stimulated to ultrasonic oscillations by piezoelectrics to drive a rotor via friction contact. The ultrasonic motor fabricated here was the windmill type ultrasonic motor operated by single-phase AC source. Bidirectional revolution using single-phase high frequency for driving the ultrasonic motor was presented.

Hot precision forging with a back pressure was investigated for manufacturing of compressor parts made of Al-Si alloy. Disk-shaped blank made of Al-Si alloy was hot forged, and ribs were formed by loading back pressure on their top. The influence of the back pressure and die temperature on forgeability and properties of parts made of Al-Si alloy were examined. Using the F.E.M. simulation, we found the optimum vallue of back-pressure. The prototypes of scroll parts were forged into the near-net shape and satisfied the required properties.

The ships transiting the Northern Sea Route (NSR) have been gradually increased so that the number of ship-ice collision accidents would be increased. The collision between ship and ice floe can lead to serious damage of hulls and decline of ship's maneuverability. In this study, collision tests that a model ship is forced to collide with disk-shaped synthetic ice floes are conducted in a towing tank. The synthetic ice floes made of polypropylene which has similar density with real ice are used. The ice load is measured by a load cell installed on the carriage rod. The ice floe's motion is measured by a motion sensor installed on the synthetic ice floe. The influences of contact conditions such as hull form and ship speed on the ship-ice collision response are investigated and discussed by measured peak force and ice floe's motion.

In this paper, we investigated physical characteristics of an artificial supercavity generated behind an axisymmetric cavitator. Experiments for the same model were carried out at two different cavitation tunnels of the Chungnam National University and the University of Minnesota, and the results were compared and verified with each other. We measured pressures inside the cavity and observed the cavity formation by using a high-speed camera. Cavitation parameters were evaluated in considering blockage effects of the tunnel, and gravitational effects on supercavity dimensions were examined. Cavity dimensions corresponding to the unbounded cavitation number were compared. In addition, we investigated how artificial supercavitation develops according to the combination of injection positions and direction.

Utilizing the three-dimensional Snyder-Mitchell model with a PT-symmetric potential, we study the influence of PT symmetry on beam propagation in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media. The complex Coulomb potential is used as the PT-symmetric potential. A localized spatiotemporal accessible soliton solution of the model is obtained. Specific values of the modulation depth for different soliton parameters are discussed. Our results reveal that in these media the localized solitons can exist in various shapes, such as single-layer and multi-layer disk-shaped structures, as well as vortex-ring and necklace patterns.

Purpose: Treatment of diabetic foot infection due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) remains challenging. Applying vancomycin-impregnated cement is one of the best methods of treatment. Vancomycin-impregnated cement has been used worldwide; however, to date, there is a limited number of studies regarding its use. We evaluated the duration of antimicrobial activity of vancomycin-impregnated cement stored at room temperature after manufacturing. Materials and Methods: The vancomycin-impregnated cement was manufactured by mixing 1 g of vancomycin with 40 g of polymer and adding 17.90 g of liquid monomer. The cement dough was shaped into flat cylinders with diameter and height of 6 mm and 2 mm, respectively. Another cement of the same shape without mixing vancomycin was prepared as the negative control. All manufactured cements were sterilized with ethylene oxide gas and stored at room temperature. Each cement was placed on Mueller Hinton agar plate lawned with standard MRSA strain. Standard vancomycin disk and gentamicin disk were placed together. After 24 hours, the diameter of inhibition zone was measured, and if the diameter was less than 15 mm, vancomycin-impregnated cement was regarded as a loss of antimicrobial activity. The study was repeated every 2 weeks until vancomycin-impregnated cements lost their antimicrobial activity. Results: Vancomycin-impregnated cement stored for a duration of 16 weeks created a 14 mm inhibition zone, while vancomycin disk created a 15 mm inhibition zone. Vancomycin-impregnated cement stored for a duration of 17 weeks created 7 mm and 9 mm inhibition zones, while vancomycin disk created 16 mm and 15 mm inhibition zones, respectively. Conclusion: We found a decrease of antimicrobial activity in vancomycin-impregnated cements after 16 weeks. After 17 weeks, they showed definite loss of antimicrobial activity. Therefore, we recommend not using vancomycin-impregnated cement spacers that has been stored for more than 16 weeks at room temperature.

이 논문은 하나의 좌표축과 하나의 종횡비$(\rho_\alpha=a_1/a_3)$를 갖는 2차원적 형태의 섬유 형태$(a_1>a_2=a_3)$ 그리고 디스크 형태$(a_1=a_2>a_3)$의 충전제의 기하학적 형상에 따른 복합체의 열팽창 계수의 변화를 예측하기 위한 모델을 제시한다. 분석은 Eshelby의 equivalent 텐서의 일반적인 접근과 Lee와 Paul의 접근 방식을 이용하여 이미 개발된 탄성 모듈러스의 전개 과정을 따른다. 배열된 등방성 충전제를 포함하는 복합체의 열팽창 계수의 영향이 종횡비에 따라 조사되었다. 이 모델은 복합체를 해석하기 위해서 한쪽 방향으로 배열된 충전제이어야 하며, 균일한 물성의 기지재와 충전제가 완전한 결합을 하고 있다는 가정 하에서 연구된다. 복합체의 열팽창 계수는 배열된 종단방향$(\alpha_{11})$과 횡단방향$(\alpha_{33})$으로 조사되었다. Chow와 Tandon 그리고 Weng이 발표한 에폭시 수지와 유리 섬유의 복합체의 재료특성 데이터로부터 종횡비에 따른 열팽창 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 종횡비가 증가함에 따라 길이 방향의 열팽창 계수 $\alpha_{11}$는 감소하여 충전제의 열팽창 계수에 접근한다. 그러나, 횡단방향의 열팽창 계수 $\alpha_{33}$는 증가 또는 감소하는 경향을 보인다. 충전제의 함량이 증가함에 따라 복합체의 열팽창 계수는 감소하여 충전제의 열팽창 계수에 수렴한다.

전자선 조사 폴리프로필렌과 블랜드의 결정화 거동은 고분자 가공시 중요한 변수중 하나이다. 저밀도폴리에틸렌(linear low density polyethylene, LDPE) 함량에 따라 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)/LDPE 블렌드를 이축압출기를 이용하여 제조하였다. 조사에 의한 가교반응을 용이하게 하기위해 가교조제로 trimethylolpropane-trimetacrylate (TMPTMA)를 PP/LDPE 블렌드 제조시 첨가하였다. PP/LDPE 블랜드의 조사가교 효율에 대한 LDPE 함량의 영향을 평가하였다. 조사시료의 비등온 결정화과정과 결정구조를 DSC, X-선회절분석(X-ray diffraction, XRD), 그리고 편광현미경(polarized optical microscope, POM)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 조사 후 시료의 용융온도가 감소하는 것은 조사에 의한 PP 사슬의 절단에 의한 것으로 판단된다. Ozawa 지수, n이 4일 때 구형, 3일 때 디스크형, 2일 때 로드형의 결정구조를 나타낸다. Ozawa 분석 결과, 순수 PP의 n 값은 3.8, 30 wt%의 LDPE를 포함하는 시료의 n은 2.3을 나타내었다. LDPE 첨가와 조사에 의해 PP의 결정구조가 구형에서 disk나 rod형으로 변화하는 것을 Ozawa 분석과 POM을 통해 확인하였다. XRD 스펙트럼의 $16.1^{\circ}$에서 나타나는 ${\beta}$ 형 결정구조가 조사 후 시편에서 사라지는데, 이는 가교결합에 의한 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

The micro emulsion method has been successfully used for preparing perovskite LaCoO₃ with uniform, fine-shaped nanoparticles showing high activity as electro catalysts in oxygen reduction reactions (ORRs). They are, therefore, promising candidates for the air-cathode in metal-air rechargeable batteries. Since the activity of a catalyst is highly dependent on its specific surface area, nanoparticles of the perovskite catalyst are desirable for catalyzing both oxygen reduction and evolution reactions. Herein, LaCoO₃ powder was also prepared by sol-gel method for comparison, with a broad particle distribution and high agglomeration. The electro catalytic properties of LaCoO₃ and LaCoO₃-carbon Super P mixture layers toward the ORR were studied comparatively using the rotating disk electrode technique in 0.1 M KOH electrolyte to elucidate the effect of carbon Super P. Koutecky-Levich theory was applied to acquire the overall electron transfer number (n) during the ORR, calculated to be ~3.74 for the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, quite close to the theoretical value (4.0), and ~2.7 for carbon-free LaCoO₃. A synergistic effect toward the ORR is observed when carbon is present in the LaCoO₃ layer. Carbon is assumed to be more than an additive, enhancing the electronic conductivity of the oxide catalyst. It is suggested that ORRs, catalyzed by the LaCoO₃-Super P mixture, are dominated by a 2+2-electron transfer pathway to form the final, hydroxyl ion product.
