Background: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is a non-invasive marker for eosinophilic airway inflammation and a good predictor of response to corticosteroids. There is a need for a reliable and accurate measurement method, as FeNO measurements have been widely used in clinical practice. Our study aimed to compare two FeNO analyzers and derive a conversion equation for FeNO measurements in adults. Methods: We included 99 participants who had chief complaints of chronic cough and difficulty in breathing. The participants underwent concurrent FeNO measurement using NIOX VERO (Circassia AB) and NObreath (Bedfont). We compared the values of the two devices and analyzed their correlation and agreement. We then formulated an equation to convert FeNO values measured by NObreath into those obtained by NIOX VERO. Results: The mean age of the participants was 51.2±17.1 years, with a female predominance (58.6%). Approximately 60% of the participants had asthma. The FeNO level measured by NIOX VERO (median, 27; interquartile range [IQR], 15-45) was significantly lower than that measured by NObreath (median, 38; IQR, 22-58; p<0.001). There was a strong positive correlation between the two devices (r=0.779, p<0.001). Additionally, Bland-Altman plots and intraclass correlation coefficient demonstrated a good agreement. Using linear regression, we derived the following conversion equation: natural log (Ln) (NObreath)=0.728×Ln (NIOX VERO)+1.244. Conclusion: The FeNO values of NIOX VERO and NObreath were in good agreement and had positive correlations. Our proposed conversion equation could help assess the accuracy of the two analyzers.

Fe(CO)$_5$(철-펜타카보닐)의 열분해법을 이용하여 산화철 나노 입자를 제조하였다. 표면 조절 시약으로서 생체적 합성 고분자인 폴리(비닐피롤리돈)(PVP)을 사용하여 산화철 나노 입자의 크기를 제어하였다. 산화철 나노 입자의 형성 여부는 XRD를 통해 분석하였으며, PVP 코팅된 산화철 나노 입자의 크기는 TEM, ELS를 통하여 분석하였다. PVP 코팅 된 산화철 나노 입자의 입자 크기는 PVP/Fe(CO)$_5$의 몰비와 용매, PVP 분자량에 의해 조절되었다. PVP 함량이 증가함에 따라 입자 크기가 증가하였으며 디메틸포름아마이드를 용매로 하였을 때 $50\~100$ nm의 산화철 나노 클러스터가 형성되었고, Carbitol을 용매로 하였을 때 균일하게 분산된 10 nm 이하의 작은 PVP 코팅된 산화철 나노 입자가 형성되었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 PVP코팅된 산화철 나노 입자는 물에 잘 분산될 뿐 아니라 생체적합적인 PVP로 코팅이 되었기 때문에 in vivo에 응용할 수 있으며, 입자의 크기가 $50\~100$nm및 10 nm로 조절됨으로써 MRI 조영제로서 가능성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 글리세롤과 우레아를 이용하여 글리세롤카보네이트를 합성하는 반응을 진행하였다. ZnO와 Zn-Al 이원계 금속 산화물 촉매를 제조하고, 제조되어진 촉매를 사용하여 글리세롤의 전환율과 글리세롤카보네이트의 수율을 확인하였고, Al의 첨가에 따른 촉매 특성의 분석과 글리세롤카보네이트 합성반응에서의 역할에 대해 확인하였다. 글리세롤카보네이트 합성 반응에서 ZnO를 단독으로 촉매를 사용한 경우보다 Zn-Al 혼합 산화물을 촉매로 사용하여 반응하였을 때, 부반응이 억제되어 전환율 및 수율이 증가함을 확인하였다.

n-부텐의 산화탈수소화에서 제조방법이 촉매의 반응활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 $BiFe_{0.65}MoP_{0.1}$ 산화물 촉매를 모델 촉매로 선정하여 공침법, 시트르산법, 수열합성법, 주형법 등의 방법으로 촉매를 제조하였다. 제조한 촉매의 물리 화학적 특성을 알아보고 반응 활성과 연관시키기 위하여 X-선 회절분석(XRD), 질소 흡착 탈착분석($N_2$ sorption), 암모니아/1-부텐-승온탈착분석($NH_3/1$-butene-TPD) 등의 특성분석을 수행하였다. 공침법으로 제조한 촉매의 활성이 가장 높게 관찰되었으며, 14시간 동안의 산화탈수소화 반응 기준으로 n-부텐의 전환율은 79.5%, 1,3-부타디엔의 선택도는 85.1%, 1,3-부타디엔 수율은 67.7%의 수치를 보였다. 암모니아 승온탈착 실험으로부터 촉매의 반응 활성은 촉매의 산특성과 밀접하게 관련이 있으며, 공침법으로 제조한 산화물 촉매가 다른 합성방법으로 제조한 촉매와 비교하여 가장 큰 산량을 갖는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한, 1-부텐의 승온탈착 분석결과, 촉매의 활성은 흡착된 1-부텐과 촉매의 표면반응에 기인한 중간체의 흡 탈착 특성, 즉 약하게 흡착된 중간체(< $200^{\circ}C$)의 상대적인 양과 강하게 흡착된 중간체의 탈착 온도(> $200^{\circ}C$)와 밀접하게 관련이 있었다.

The efects of mechanical aloying conditions and the type of reducing agent on the solid state reductionof haematite $Fe_2O_3$ have been investigated at room temperature. Aluminium titanium zinc and copper were used as reducing agent. Nanocomposites of metal-oxide in which oxide particles with nano size were dispersed in Fe matrix were obtained by mechanical alloying of $Fe_2O_3$ with aluminium and titanium respectively However the reduction of $Fe_2O_3$ by coppe was not occurred Composite materials of iron with $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$ were obtained from the system of $Fe_2O_3-Al$ and $Fe_2O_3-Ti$ after ball milling for 20 hrs and 30 hrs respectively. And the system of $Fe_2O_3-Zn$ resulted in the formationof FeO with ZnO after ball milling of 120 hrs. The final grain sizes of iron estimated by X-ray diffraction line-width measurement were in the ranges of 24~33 nm.

Mechanochemical synthesis of zinc ferrite, $ZnFe_2O_4$, was attempted from a powder mixture of iron (III) oxide, alpha-$Fe_2O_3$ and zinc (II) oxide, ZnO. Nanocrystalline zinc ferrite, $ZnFe_2O_4$ powders were successfully synthesized only bymilling for 30 hours. Evidence of the $ZnFe_2O_4$ formation was absent for the powders milled for 10 and 20 hours; the milling lowered the crystallinity of the starting materials. Heating after milling enhanced the formation of $ZnFe_2O_4$, crystal growth of $ZnFe_2O_4$ and the unreacted starting materials. The unreacted starting materials decreased their amounts by heating at higher temperatures.

The boiler tubes of X20CrMoV12.1 used in fossil-fired power plants were obtained and analyzed for the effect of water treatment on the steam corrosion-induced oxide scale in an effort to better understand the oxide formation mechanism, as well as pertinent method of maintenance and lifetime extension. The specimens were analyzed using various microscopy and microanalysis techniques, with focuses on the effect of water treatment on the characters of scale. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the scales of specimens were composed of hematite ($Fe_2O_3$), magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$), and chromite ($FeCr_2O_4$). Electron backscatter diffraction analysis showed that the oxides were present in the following order on the matrix: outer $Fe_2O_3$, intermediate $Fe_3O_4$, and inner $FeCr_2O_4$. After all volatile treatment or oxygenated treatment, a dense protective $Fe_2O_3$ layer was formed on the $Fe_3O_4$ layer of the specimen, retarding further progression of corrosion.

This paper presents the feasibility of using different iron oxides (microscale hematite (HT), microscale magnetite (MT), and nanoscale maghemite (NMH)) in enhancing nitrate reduction by zero-valent iron (Fe(0)) under two solution conditions (artificial acidic water and real groundwater). Addition of MT and NMH into Fe(0) system resulted in enhancement of nitrate reduction compared to Fe(0) along reaction, especially in groundwater condition, while HT had little effect on nitrate reduction in both solutions. Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis showed association of MT and NMH with Fe(0) surface, presumably due to magnetic attraction. The rate enhancement effect of the minerals is presumed to arise from its role as an electron mediator that facilitated electron transport from Fe(0) to nitrate. The greater enhancement of MT and NMH in groundwater was attributed to surface charge neutralization by calcium and magnesium ions in groundwater, which in turn facilitated adsorption of nitrate on Fe(0) surface.

본 연구는 동일한 제조법을 가지는 연소촉매 FeOOH와 Fe₂O₃를 제조하여 고체추진제에 적용 후 기계적 물성 및 연소 특성의 변화에 관한 내용이다. 동일한 제조방법을 가지는 FeOOH와 Fe₂O₃를 만들기 위하여 FeOOH를 200, 300, 400, 500℃에서 2시간 동안 소성시킨 후 XRD 결과를 확인하였다. 또한, 제조된 촉매를 고체추진제에 적용 후 기계적 물성 및 연소 특성의 변화를 나타내었다. XRD 결과상으로 FeOOH는 200~300℃사이에서 Geothite에서 Hematite로 결정상이 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 추진제의 응력은 연소촉매의 소성온도가 높아짐에 따라 변화가 거의 없지만 연신율은 소성을 진행한 촉매를 적용 시 증가하였다. 연소속도는 소성을 하지 않은 FeOOH가 다른 촉매에 비해 약 3~5% 빠르다는 것을 확인하였다.

The structure and magnetic properties of composite powders prepared by ball milling a mixture of Fe₂O₃·(0.4-1.0)Fe were investigated. Hysteresis loops and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves are used to characterize the materials and to examine the effect of the solid state reaction induced by ball milling. The results showed that a solid state reaction in Fe₂O₃·(0.4-1.0)Fe clearly proceeds after only 1 h of ball milling. The system is characterized by a positive reaction heat of +2.23 kcal/mole. The diffraction lines related to Fe₂O₃ and Fe disappeared after 1 h of ball milling and, instead, diffraction lines of the intermediate phase of Fe₃O₄ plus FeO formed. The magnetization and coercivity of the Fe₂O₃·0.8Fe powders were changed by the solid state reaction process of Fe₂O₃ by Fe during ball milling. The coercivity of the Fe₂O₃·0.8Fe powders increased with increasing milling time and reached a maximum value of 340 Oe after 5 h of ball milling. This indicates the grain size of Fe₃O₄ was clearly reduced during ball milling. The magnetic properties of the annealed powders depend on the amount of magnetic Fe and Fe₃O₄ phases.
