The electrical current generated by heart creates not only electric potential but also a magnetic field. We have observed electrophysiological phenomena of the heart by measuring components of magnetocardiogram(MCG) using 61 channel superconducting quantum interference device(SQUD) system. We have analyzed the possibility and characteristics of MCG parameters for diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. A technique for automatic analysis of MCG signals in time domain was developed. The methods for detecting the position, the interval, the amplitude ratio, and the direction of single current dipole were examined in the MCG wave. The position and interval parameters were obtained by calculating the gradients of a envelope curve which could be formed by the difference between the maximum and minimum envelope of multi-channel MCG signals. We show some differences of the frequency contour map between the normal MCG and the abnormal (ischemic heart disease) MCG. The direction of single current dipole can be defined by rotating the magnetic field according to Biot-Savart's law at each point of MCG signals. In this study, we have examined the direction of single current dipole from searching for the centroids of positive and negative magnetic fields. The amplitude ratio parameters for measuring 57 deviation consisted of A$_{T}$/A$_{R}$ and other ratios. and We developed a new analysis method, which is based on the frequency contour map of electromagnetic field. Using theses parameters, we founded significant differences between normal subjects and ischemic patients in some parameters.

Purpose: The grindability of Ti-10%Zr-X%Cr(X=0,1,3) alloys in order to develop Ti alloys for dental applications with better machinability than unalloyed titanium has been evaluated. Methods: Experimental Ti-10%Zr-X%Cr(X=0,1,3) alloys were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. Slabs of experimental alloys were ground using a SiC abrasive wheel on an electric handpiece at one of the four rotational speeds of the wheel (12000, 18000, 25000 or 30000rpm) by applying a force(100gf). Grindability was evaluated by measuring the amount of metal volume removed per minute(grinding rate) and the volume ratio of metal removed compared to the wheel material lost, which was calculated from the diameter loss (grinding ratio). Experimental datas were compared the results with those of cp-Ti(commercially pure titanium) Results: It was observed that the grindability of Ti-10%Zr-X%Cr(X=0,1,3) alloys increased with an increase in the Cr concentration. More, they are higher than cp-Ti, particularly the Ti-10%Zr-3%Cr alloy exhibited the highest grindability at all rotational speeds except 12000rpm. There was significant difference in the grinding rate and grinding ratio between Ti-10%Zr-3%Cr alloy and cp-Ti at all rotational speeds(p<0.05). Conclusion: The Ti-10%Zr-3%Cr alloy exhibited better grindability at high rotational speeds, great potential for use as a dental machining alloy.

Osmotic power is to produce electric power by using the chemical potential of two flows with the difference of salinity. Water permeates through a semipermeable membrane from a low concentration feed solution to a high concentration draw solution due to osmotic pressure. In a pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, river water and wastewater are commonly used as low salinity feed solution, whereas seawater and brine from the SWRO plant are employed as draw solution. During the PRO process using wastewater effluent as feed solution, PRO membrane fouling is usually caused by the convective or diffusive transport of PRO which is the most critical step of PRO membrane in order to prevent membrane fouling. The main objective of this study is to assess the PRO membrane fouling reduction by pretreatment to remove organic matter using coagulation-UF membrane process. The experimental results obtained from the pretreatment test showed that the optimum ferric chloride and PAC dosage for removal of organic matter applied for the coagulation and adsorption process was 50 mg/L as FeCl₃ (optimum pH 5.5). Coagulation-UF pretreatment process was higher removal efficiency of organic matter, as also resulting in the substantial improvement of water flux of PRO membrane.

Background: This study investigates the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in preventing deltoid atrophy during the first 12 weeks after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: Eighteen patients undergoing arthroscopic repair of a medium-sized rotator cuff tear by a single surgeon, were randomized into two groups: NMES and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS). Each group used the respective device for 6 weeks after surgery. Pain was measured at baseline, 6, and 12 weeks postoperatively, using the visual analogue scale (VAS); range of motion (ROM), abduction strength and functional scores were measured at baseline and 12 weeks postoperatively. Deltoid thickness and cross-sectional areas were measured using magnetic resonance imaging at 12 weeks postoperatively. Results: At 12 weeks post-surgery, no statistically significant difference was observed between the NMES and TENS groups in the pain VAS, the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand score, ROM, and abduction strength. Postoperative decrease in the thickness of the anterior, middle, and posterior deltoid, at the level just below the coracoid, was -2.5%, -0.7%, and -6.8%, respectively, in the NMES group, and -14.0%, -2.6%, and -8.2%, respectively, in the TENS group (p=0.016, p=0.677, and p=0.791, respectively). At the level of the inferior glenoid tubercle, postoperative decrease in area of the deltoid was -5.4% in the NMES group and -14.0% in the TENS group, which was significantly different (p=0.045). Conclusions: NMES has the potential for reducing deltoid atrophy after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, suggesting that NMES might help minimize postoperative atrophy after various shoulder surgeries.

착체중합법과 sol-gel법을 이용하여 ZnO 나노입자 표면상에 $TiO_2$ 입자를 코팅한 나노 코아쉘 구조를 제조하였다. 착체중합법으로 제조된 ZnO 입자는 평균입도가 약 100 nm, sol-gel법으로 제조된 $TiO_2$ 입자는 10 nm 이하의 크기로 각각 구성되었다. $ZnO@TiO_2$ 나노 코아쉘 구조의 평균입도는 약 150 nm의 크기를 나타내었다. 착체중합법으로 제조된 구형의 ZnO 나노 입자는 콜로이드상의 $TiO_2$ 입자의 균일한 표면흡착으로 인해 착체중합법으로 제조된 ZnO 입자의 입자간 응집이 크게 제어되었다. ZnO와 $TiO_2$의 이종 입자간의 표면전하는 pH 7 근처의 중성 영역에서 iso-electric point (IEP)의 차이로 인하여 - 로 대전된 $TiO_2$와 + 로 대전된 ZnO 나노입자의 이종의 입자들이 쿨롱의 인력에 의해 서로간의 결합을 하게 되고, 결합을 이룬 $ZnO@TiO_2$ 나노 코아쉘 구조가 표면 전하가 zero가 되어 발생하게 된다.

Traveling heater method(THM) 방법을 이용하여 성장시킨 CdZnTe(CZT) 단결정 방사선 소자에 대한 고에너지(high energy) 감마선 에너지 분해능(energy resolution)을 평가하고자 $6{\times}6{\times}12mm^3$ 크기의 CZT 소자를 제작하였다. 두꺼운 방사선 소자의 경우, 전자에 비해 상대적으로 이동속도가 느린 정공(hole)으로 인해 발생하는 hole-tailing 효과가 심화되어 고에너지 영역의 에너지 분해능이 저하되는 현상이 발생한다. 전자(electron)와 정공(hole)의 두 개의 전하 운반자(charge carrier) 중에서 하나의 전하 운반자를 선택적으로 수집하여 에너지 분해능을 높이는 것이 가능하다. 가상 Frisch-그리드(virtual Frisch-grid) 소자는 소자 내부의 가중 퍼텐셜(weighting potential)을 조절하여 전자에 의한 유도전류(induced current)만을 선택적으로 이용하는 방법으로써 제작 과정과 적용이 용이하다. 본 연구에서는 THM 방법으로 성장한 큰 부피의 CZT 방사선 소자의 특성과 가상 Frisch-그리드의 효용성을 평가하였다. 가상 Frisch-그리드의 적절한 위치와 너비는 Maxwell ver.14(ANSYS, 미국)를 이용하여 모의실험으로 정하였다. $^{137}Cs$ 동위원소를 이용한 펄스 높이 스펙트럼(pulse height spectrum) 측정에서 가상 Frisch-그리드를 적용했을 때 662 keV 피크에 대해 2.2%의 에너지 분해능을 확인할 수 있었다.

전통시장의 화재발생 위험요인은 대부분 도심이나 주택가 밀집지역에 위치해 상권상의 입지여건은 양호하나 시설 낙후와 재난 시설의 미비로 인하여 화재 발생시 대형화재로 전이될 위험성을 가지고 있다. 또 많은 사람들이 밀집돼 있다 보니 전기·가스시설의 무분별한 사용과 겨울철 난방기의 과도한 사용으로 화재발생 요인이 높다. 이처럼 전통시장은 화재에 취약한 점으로 인해 화재보험가입도 어려워 대부분 영세 상인들의 정신적 피해와 막대한 물질적 피해를 입게 됨에도 불구하고, 전통시장의 대다수 상인들이 생계형 상인으로 안전의식 부족 및 안전 시설관리가 미흡한 실정이다. 영세 상인이 다수로 화재시 기초적 생계 곤란과 경제적 부담 등을 이유로 대다수 시장의 화재보험 가입률이 저조하고, 노점상의 가입은 전무하여 사후 보상에도 한계를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점에 따라 본 연구는 전통시장의 시설 낙후성, 화재 취약성 등에 노출된 시장의 보험가입 실태 파악하고자 한다. 그리고 문헌 연구를 통한 이론적 고찰과 관계자 인터뷰를 통한 현장사례 연구, 재래시장 보험실태조사를 통해 문제점을 분석하였다. 전통시장 108여개와 점포 981개를 대상으로 화재보험가입자및 실태조사를 실시하였다. 조사방법은 설문지에 따라 직접 개별점포를 방문하여 일대일 개별면접조사 방법으로 조사를 실시하였다. 조사내용은 보험가입현황과 보험에 대한 인식을 조사하였다. 이러한 분석을 토대로 전통시장의 화재발생 안전성 확보를 위해 화재보험 가입을 위한 대안 제시와 중앙정부에서의 시설 현대화 사업의 정책 중 안전부문을 보강할 수 있는 개선 방안을 제시하였다.

A nanogap formed by a metal nanoparticle and a flat metal substrate is one kind of "hot site" for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). The characteristics of a typical nanogap formed by a planar Au and either an Au and Ag nanoparticle have been well studied using 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) as a probe. 4-ABT is, however, an unusual molecule in the sense that its SERS spectral feature is dependent not only on the kinds of SERS substrates but also on the measurement conditions; thus further characterization is required using other adsorbate molecules such as 1,4-phenylenediisocyanide (1,4-PDI). In fact, no Raman signal was observable when 1,4-PDI was selfassembled on a flat Au substrate, but a distinct spectrum was obtained when 60 nm-sized Au or Ag nanoparticles were adsorbed on the pendent -NC groups of 1,4-PDI. This is definitely due to the electromagnetic coupling between the localized surface plasmon of Au or Ag nanoparticle with the surface plasmon polariton of the planar Au substrate, allowing an intense electric field to be induced in the gap between them. A higher Raman signal was observed when Ag nanoparticles were attached to 1,4-PDI, irrespective of the excitation wavelength, and especially the highest Raman signal was measured at the 632.8 nm excitation (with the enhancement factor on the order of ${\sim}10^3$), followed by the excitation at 568 and 514.5 nm, in agreement with the finite-difference timedomain calculation. From a separate potential-dependent SERS study, the voltage applied to the planar Au appeared to be transmitted without loss to the Au or Ag nanoparticles, and from the study of the effect of volatile organics, the voltage transmission from Au or Ag nanoparticles to the planar Au also appeared as equally probable to that from the planar Au to the Au or Ag nanoparticles in a nanogap electrode. The response of the Au-Ag nanogap to the external stimuli was, however, not the same as that of the Au-Au nanogap.

Purpose: In-situ monitoring of water quality is fundamental to most environmental applications. The high cost and long delays of conventional laboratory methods used to determine water quality, including on-site sampling and chemical analysis, have limited their use in efficiently managing water sources while preventing environmental pollution. The objective of this study was to develop an on-site water monitoring system consisting mainly of an Arduino board and a sensor array of multiple ion selective electrodes (ISEs) to measure the concentration of $NO_3$ ions. Methods: The developed system includes a combination of three ISEs, double-junction reference electrode, solution container, sampling system consisting of three pumps and solenoid valves, signal processing circuit, and an Arduino board for data acquisition and system control. Prior to each sample measurement, a two-point normalization method was applied for a sensitivity adjustment followed by an offset adjustment to minimize the potential drift that could occur during continuous measurement and standardize the response of multiple electrodes. To investigate its utility in on-site nitrate monitoring, the prototype was tested in a facility where drinking water was collected from a water supply source. Results: Differences in the electric potentials of the $NO_3$ ISEs between 10 and $100mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ $NO_3$ concentration levels were nearly constant with negative sensitivities of 58 to 62 mV during the period of sample measurement, which is representative of a stable electrode response. The $NO_3$ concentrations determined by the ISEs were almost comparable to those obtained with standard instruments within 15% relative errors. Conclusions: The use of the developed on-site nitrate monitoring system based on automatic sampling and two-point normalization was feasible for detecting abrupt changes in nitrate concentration at various water supply sites, showing a maximum difference of $4.2mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ from an actual concentration of $14mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$.
