ERFs(Electrorheological Fluids) arc a complex system consisting of polarizable particles and insulation liquid. When an external electric field is applied to ERFs, its apparent viscosity increases dramatically. This phenomenon is called the ER effect. Generally, the behavior of ERFs has been modeled on those of Bingham fluids. But the behavior of ERFs differs from those of Bingham fluids in many respects. In the paper, ER effect concerning flow mode of ERFs is analyzed experimentally. According to several flow conditions, the change of ER effect is presented and visualized. A new modeling methodology of ER effect to reduce the modeling error is presented.

실리콘 오일에 인산처리 셀룰로오스 분말을 분산시킨 비수계 전기유변성(ER) 유체 의 전기유변 거동을 상온에서 최대 2.5KV/mm의 전기장하에서 실험하였다. 넓은 온도 영역 에서 사용이 가증한 비수계 ER 유체를 개발하기 위해 셀룰로오스의 인산 에스테르 반응이 ER 유체의 전기유변효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 먼저 여러 가지의 인산처리 농도로 처리된 인산처리 셀룰로오스 미립자를 분산시킨 ER 유체를 제조한 후 ER 유체의 유전상수, 전류밀도 및 전기전도도 등과 같은 전기적 특성을 측정하였으며 ER 유체의 전기유변 특성 또한 측정하였다. 인산처리 셀룰로오스가 분산된 비수계 ER 유체의 전류밀도는 셀룰로오스 의 인산 에스테르 반응에서의 인산처리 농도에 의해 조절할수 있음을 알수있었으며 셀룰로 오스의 인산처리 농도가 2.5 M과 3.0 M 사이일 때 인산처리 셀룰로오스가 첨가된 비수계 ER 유체의 전기유변효과 ($\tau$/$\tau$0)가 가장 높게 측정되었다.

Electrorheological fluids(ERFs) show a rapid and reversible increase in viscosity by applied electric field. It is called the electrorheological effect (ER effect). The reason for ER effect is the induction of an electric dipole in each particle, leading to the formation of clusters in the direction of the field, which resist fluid flow. Generally, the behavior of ER fluids has been modeled on those of Bingham fluids. But there are some differences between Bingham fluids and ER fluids. The visualization of ER fliuds are presented and ER effects by the forming, growing and breaking of clusters are discussed. In the low shear rate area, the pressure drop is measured by a pressure sensor and the formation of ER particles is visualized by video camera. The reason for the nonlinear behavior of ER fluids at low shear rate is explained through results of visualization.

전기장이 인가되고 있는 유로를 유동하는 전기유변유체의 기본성질을 파악하기 위 한 실험 및 해석적 연구를 수행하여 빙햄유체로서의 유효성에 대해 알아보고 전기장과 유로 면 형상 및 진동유동으로 인한 영향에 대해 조사함으로써 ER밸브 및 ER대퍼로의 응용과 관련한 감쇄력 제어에 대해 검토하였다. 첫 번째 실험은 ER밸브의 높이가 2mm인 적극면이 평탄한것과 요철로 된 것을 사용하여 압력손실을 압력변환기로 측정함으로써 전기장 및 유 로형상에 대한 영향을 알아보았다. 압력손실 및 전단응력이 전기자세기와 함수관계를 가짐 을 알수 있었고 전기장세기와 유속의 변화시 손실계수에 의한 ER효과의 상이함이 확인되었 으며 레이놀즈수가 커지면 항복전단응력의 영향은 나타나지 않았다. 두 번째 실험은 실린더 를 정현파로 진동시켜 ER밸브에서 감쇠력제어가 가능한가를 알아보고 빙햄유체모델로 설계 된 ER댐퍼의 모델과 비교하였다. ER배르와 ER댐퍼의 수학적 모델을 시뮬레이션한 결과는 약간 벗어남이 보이기는 하나 실험결과와 일치하요 있다. 이것은 ER유체를 단순히 빙행유 체로 취급할수없으나 거시적으로는 빙햄유체로 취급할수 있음을 시사한다.

Understanding the exgenous water induced thermomechanical effect on the dental hard tissue by the Q-switched Er:YAG laser (1-$mutextrm{s}$-long pulse width) has an important impact on the further understanding of the free-running Er:YAG laser (250-$mutextrm{s}$-long pulse width) ablation on the dental gard tissue because one macroscopic effect in the free-running laser is an accumulation of microscopic effects we investigated in this study. The Q-switched Er:YAG laser with exogenous water on the tooth enhanced ablation rate compared to the case of no water on the tooth. The frequency of exogenous-water jet on the tooth has affected the ablation rate in such a way that as we dispensed water drops less frequently we could get more enhanced ablation rate. The amplitude of the recoil pressure depends on the tooth surface conditions such that as surfaces wet, and as the volume of the exogenous water drop increased, the amplitude of the recoil pressure increased also. From this study we realized that the 1 $mutextrm{s}$ long pulsed induced thermomechanical effect provides us useful information for the understanding of the free-running Er:YAG laser induced ablation with exogenous water.

This study was performed to investigate a possible association of the porcine estrogen receptor(ER) locus with the total number of born(TNB) and number of born alive(NBA) in Yorkshire pigs. Using DNAs extracted from 242 Yorkshire pigs, the ER genotype was determined by PvuII PCR-RFLP. The ER allele frequencies of two types of A and B were 0.39 and 0.61, respectively. The least squares means of the litter size by ER genotype was evaluated. The TNB and NBA were found to be associated with an specific ER allele. The genotype at the porcine ER locus has an application potential for marker-assisted selection for litter size in pigs.

Fermented soybean, Chungkookjang contains microorganism, enzyme, and diverse bioactive compounds. Isoflavones in Chungkookjang might suppress breast and prostate cancers. Using HPLC and Mass analyses, it was found that 100% ethanol extract of Chungkookjang contains aglycone forms such as genistein, daidzein, and glycitein. 8-OH-genistein, 8-OH-daidzein were not found. There are two estrogen receptors, $ER{\alpha},ER{\beta}$. $ER{\alpha}$ might stimulate proliferation of breast and prostate cancer cells, and $ER{\beta}$ might suppress their growth. Using yeast transactivation assay under the control of human ER expression, it was demonstrated that isoflavones in Chungkookjang can stimulate $ER{\beta}_{1}$, selectively.

본논문에서는 전기장 부하에 따라 유동성질이 변화하는 ER유체의 빙햄특성을 실험 적으로 연구하였다. 특히 ER유체의 빙행특성에 영향을 주는 여러인자중 전극 간격 및 재질 에 따른 ER유체의 항복전단응력과 전류밀도의 변화를 온도에 따라 고찰하였다. 이를 위하 여 전극 간격을 가변시킬수 있는 전기 점도계를 세가지 재질로 자체 제작하였다. 전극간격 은 0.75 mm, 1.00mm 및 1.25 mm 로 설정하였으며 전극 재질은 스테인레스 스텔, 동 그리 고 기계구조용 탄소강(SMS45C)을 사용했다. 한편 실험에 사용된 ER유체는 자체 조성한 수 계 ER유체인 ERF-1과 외국의 우수하다고 알려진 비수계 ER유체인 ERF-2 두가지를 선택 하였다. 실험은 $25^{\circ}C$와 7$0^{\circ}C$ 및 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 수행하였으며 전기장은 0-4kV/mm 범위에서 온 도 및 ER유체의 종류에 따라 부하 가능한 전압까지 공급하였다. 전단변형률 50, 100, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000 및 1200 s-1에서 얻은 전단응력 실험결과로부터 최소오차선형법을 이용하여 전단변형률 영에서 동적 항복전단응력 값을 도출하였으며 그결과로부터 전극 간격 및 재질에 따른 ER효과의 변화를 고찰하였다. 또한 상온과 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 4kV/mm의 전기장을 부하하여 전기장에대한 ER유체의 응답특성을 실험을 수행했다.

The reason for the nonlinear behavior of ER fluids at low shear rate is explained through results of visualization. As result, the behavior of ER fluids is nonlinear at low shear rate with overshoot area because it is different to from the clusters according to the strength of electric field. The gap of electrodes becomes narrow because of the cluster layer occurrence near to electrodes in any conditions.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Er:YAG laser on cutting of efficacy of enamel and dentin in primary and permanent teeth. We used the enamel and dentin specimens of human teeth which contain the physiologic saline and maintain the pulpal pressure in dentinal tubules. Each specimen was exposed to Er:YAG laser with non-contact mode under different treatment condition of irradiation energy, pulse repetition rate. We investigated the cutting efficacy of Er:YAG laser by Scanning Intensity Microscopy, and obtained following results. 1. Cutting volume of enamel and dentin in primary and permanent teeth were increased by increasing the irradiation energy, pulse repetition rate. 2. Cutting volume of primary teeth was larger than that of permanent teeth. 3. Cutting volume of dentin was larger than that of enamel in primary and permanent teeth. From these results, Er:YAG laser would be more effective in cutting dentin than enamel, and in cutting primary teeth than permanent teeth for clinical application.
