Recently, there has been a new appreciation of aluminum alloys as materials that are capable of reducing the environment load. This is because aluminum alloys are lightweight, easy to recycle, permit miniaturization, and have environmental friendly properties. In this study, we investigated the mechanical and electrochemical properties of 5083F aluminum alloys using slow strain rate test(SSRT) and potentiostatic tests under various potential conditions. In the potentiostatic tests, the current density in the potential range from -0.7 to -1.4V after 1,200 s was low. After considering the results of the potentiostatic tests, maximum tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, time-to-fracture, observation of fractured specimen and fractography analysis, the optimum protection potential range was between -1.3 and -0.7V(Ag/AgCl).

본 논문은 경제급전 최적화 문제에 균형-교환 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 모든 발전기를 가능한한 밸브지점으로 운영한다고 가정한다. 초기치로 최대 발전량 $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i^{max}$로 설정하고, 각 발전기의 밸브지점 $v_k$까지 발전량을 감소시켰을 때의 평균 발전단가 $c_i=\frac{F(P_i)-F(P_{iv_k})}{(P_i-P_{iv_k})}$가 최대가 되는 $_{max}c_i$ 발전기 i의 발전량을 밸브지점 발전단가 $P_{iv_k}$로 감소시켰으며, ${\Sigma}P_i-P_d$ > 0이면 $c_i=F(P_i)-F(p_i-1)$의 $_{max}c_i$ 발전기 발전량을 $P_i{\leftarrow}P_i-1$로 감소시켜 ${\Sigma}P_i=P_d$의 균형을 맞추었다. 다음으로, $_{min}\{_{max}(P_i-P_i^{min}),\;_{max}(P_i^{max}-P_i)\}$>${\alpha}{\geq}10$의 범위에 대해 "-10" 간격으로 감소시키는 성인걸음법으로, 10>${\alpha}{\geq}1$ 범위에 대해서는 "-1"의 아기걸음법으로, $P_i=P_i{\pm}{\alpha}$에 대한 $_{max}[F(P_i)-F(P_i-{\alpha})]$>$_{min}[F(P_j+{\alpha})-F(P_j)]$, $i{\neq}j$이면 $P_i=P_i-{\alpha}$, $P_j=P_j+{\alpha}$로 발전량을 교환하는 방법으로 최적화를 수행하였다. 다음으로 ${\alpha}=\text{0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001$에 대해 미세한 교환을 수행하였다. 동적 경제급전 문제의 시험 사례에 제안된 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 기존의 휴리스틱 알고리즘 최적화 발전비용을 크게 감소시켜 경제적인 이익을 극대화 시켰다.

In this study, R/S analysis which was proposed by Mandelbrot & Wallis (1969) was applied to evaluate the presence of the fractal property in the cone tip resistance of in-situ CPT data. Hurst exponents (H) were evaluated in the range of 0.660$\sim$0.990 and the average was 0.875. It was confirmed that a cone tip resistance data had the characteristic of fractals and it was expected that cone tip resistance data sets are well approximated by a fBm process with an Hurst exponent near 0.875. It was also observed that the boundary between layers were obviously identified as a result of R/S analysis and it will be usage in practices.

Purpose: The study was conducted to measure stratum corneum hydration (SCH) and pH (SCP) in high-risk newborns in the early postnatal period and to explore the features related to patterns of change in those parameters. Methods: SCH and SCP were measured on the dorsal hand in 99 hospitalized newborns during the first 14 days of life and the results were analyzed using a general linear model. Results: The mean hydration was 42.9% on day 1, which decreased to 34.6% by 2 weeks (F=15.61, p=<.001). An association was observed between SCH and prematurity (F=21.12, p<.001), as well as for their interaction (F=8.11, p<.001). The mean SCP was $6.2{\pm}0.3$ on day 1, and decreased to $5.7{\pm}0.2$ (F=95.75, p<.001), with no association with prematurity. After adjusting for birth weight, SCH was higher in newborns with vaginal delivery (F=9.07, p=.023) and who received phototherapy (F=11.81, p=.011). For SCP, only delivery type had a significant influence (F=6.40, p=.044). Conclusion: This study suggests that SCH is typically in the 30% range during the early postnatal period, and that an acid mantle on the SC surface is very unlikely to form; these findings could be applied to the nursing process for promoting skin integrity in high-risk neonates.

Purpose We conducted a study on the reconstruction of the head's shape in 3D using the ToF depth sensor. A time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) is a range imaging camera system that resolves distance based on the known speed of light, measuring the time-of-flight of a light signal between the camera and the subject for each point of the image. The above method is the safest way of measuring the head shape of plagiocephaly patients in 3D. The texture, appearance and size of the head were reconstructed from the measured data and we used the SDF method for a precise reconstruction. Materials and Methods To generate a precise model, mesh was generated by using Marching cube and SDF. Results The ground truth was determined by measuring 10 people of experiment participants for 3 times repetitively and the created 3D model of the same part from this experiment was measured as well. Measurement of actual head circumference and the reconstructed model were made according to the layer 3 standard and measurement errors were also calculated. As a result, we were able to gain exact results with an average error of 0.9 cm, standard deviation of 0.9, min: 0.2 and max: 1.4. Conclusion The suggested method was able to complete the 3D model by minimizing errors. This model is very effective in terms of quantitative and objective evaluation. However, measurement range somewhat lacks 3D information for the manufacture of protective helmets, as measurements were made according to the layer 3 standard. As a result, measurement range will need to be widened to facilitate production of more precise and perfectively protective helmets by conducting scans on all head circumferences in the future.

In order to get basic information on the reference electrode material for the long life Al concentration sensor in zinc galvanizing melt, the workability and stability of fluorine potential cell with $CaF_2$ single crystal electrolyte were examined carefully at constant temperature for six kinds of reference materials (Zn, Sn, Cd, Bi, Pb, Al-Sn alloy + fluorides). Good workability and stability of the sensor were found in sensor with $Bi+BiF_3$ reference electrode. The Al sensor with $Bi+BiF_3$ reference electrode was assembled and was tested in Zn-Al melt with different Al concentration. The EMF was changed rapidly with the change of Al concentration and was stabilized in a short time. Thus the response of EMF was satisfactory for $CaF_2$ sensor. The correlationship between EMF from the sensor and logarithm of Al concentration has been derived from the least square regression method. E/mV=57.515log[wt% Al]+1883.3 R=0.9717 ($0.013{\leq}[wt% Al]{\leq}0.984$) The EMF from Al sensor was increased linearly against logarithm of [wt% Al]. The fluorine potential of Zn-Al melt was also calculated to be in the range of $10^{-60}{\sim}10^{-61}$ Pa for the present experiemental condition.

The purpose of this study was to identify the degree of self-efficacy, sick-role behavior and metabolic control in patients with diabetes and to identify the relationships among those variables. The subject of the study were composed of 204 NIDDM patients from 2 hospitals, who were visiting the outpatient clinic in Taegu. Data were collected from Sep. 18th to Oct. 5th, 1996. In data analysis, an SPSS/PC+ program was utilized for descriptives correlation, T-test, and ANOVA. The results are as follows. 1) The mean scores for self-efficacy were 65.74 (range 30.83-90.68), on a 100 point scale. 2) The mean scores for sick-role behavior were 3.36(range 1.80-4.67), on a 5 point scale. 3) The mean score for metabolic control was 7.63 (range 5.0-13.2). 4) Self-efficacy was significantly correlated with sick-role behavior(r=.3614, p<0.01) but there were no significant correlations with self-efficacy and metabolic control (r=-.1045, p>0.01), sick-role behavior and metabolic control (r= - .1288, p>0.01). 5) There were significant differences in self-efficacy according to sex(t=4.47, p=0.000) and education(F=8.27, p=0.000). 6) There were no significant differences in sick -role behavior according to demographic characteristics. 7) There were significant differences in metabolic control according to the duration of diagnosed diabetess(F=4.13, p=0.007) and complication (t=2.47, p=0.014). These results suggest that for improvement in sick-role behavior nursing intervention needs to be directed at promoting self-efficacy.

The microwave dielectric properties of (1-x)La2/3TiO3-xLaAlO3 system in which LaAlO3 having $\varepsilon$r$\geq$90 and positive $\tau$f was investigated. The crystal system of (1-x)La2/3TiO3-xLaAlO3 was pseudo-cubic in the range of 0.1$\leq$x$\leq$0.07. Its lattice constant increased with increasing x in spite that the amount of LaAlO3 containing of smaller Al(0.57 $\AA$) ion than Ti(0.64 $\AA$) increased. As the amount of LaAlO3 increased from x=0.1 to 0.9, the relative dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$r) decreased from 50 to 23 and the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) decreased from +84 to -50. On the other hand, the value of Q.f0 reached a maximum (148,000 at 7 GHz) at x=0.7, where a rapid increase in the peak intensity of XRD occured, and further increased after prolonged sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of $\varepsilon$r=37, Q.f0=47,000 (at 7 GHz), and $\tau$f=-2 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ were obtained near 0.6La2/3TiO3-0.4LaAlO3 (x=0.4) composition.

금속염으로 산화아연(ZnO)과 규불화수소산($H_2SiF_6$)을 이용하여 용액법으로 규불화아연($ZnSiF_6$, 농도 15%)을 제조하고 이를 시멘트용 혼화제로 첨가하여 시멘트의 유동성과 수화특성에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 규불화아연의 첨가량을 시멘트량 대비 1.0∼4.0%로 증가시켜 첨가한 시멘트 페이스트의 초기 유동성과 유동성의 경시변화를 측정하였다. 초기 유동성은 mini-slump 시험을 통해 평가하였고, 유동성의 경시변화는 slump loss 시험을 통해 평가하였다. 또한 규불화아연을 시멘트에 1.0∼3.0%로 첨가하였을 때 시멘트의 응결시간에 미치는 영향과 시멘트 수화열 변화에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성은 규불화아연이 2.1% 첨가되었을 때 가장 높게 나타났으나 경시변화는 다소 큰 것으로 나타났다. 시멘트 응결시간은 규불화아연의 첨가량 증가에 따라 지연되는 특성을 보였으며, 시멘트 수화열은 첨가량에 비례하여 감소되는 경향을 보였다.
