Using the InfraRed Camera (IRC) on board the infrared astronomical satellite AKARI we study the ${3.3{\mu}m}$ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) feature and its connection to active galactic nucleus (AGN) properties for a sample of 54 hard X-ray selected bright AGN, including both Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 type objects. The sample is selected from the 9-month Swift/BAT survey in the 14-195 keV band and all of the sources have known neutral hydrogen column densities ($N_H$). The ${3.3{\mu}m}$ PAH luminosity ($L_{3.3{\mu}m}$) is used as a proxy for star-formation (SF) activity and hard X-ray luminosity ($L_{14-195keV}$) as an indicator of the AGN power. We explore for possible difference of SF activity between type 1 (un-absorbed) and type 2 (absorbed) AGN. We use several statistical analyses taking the upper-limits of the PAH lines into account utilizing survival analysis methods. The results of our log($L_{14-195keV}$) versus log($L_{3.3{\mu}m}$) regression shows a positive correlation and the slope for the type 1/unobscured AGN is steeper than that of type 2/obscured AGN at a $3{\sigma}$ level. Also our analysis shows that the circum-nuclear SF is more enhanced in type 2/absorbed AGN than type 1/un-absorbed AGN for low $L_{14-195keV}$ luminosity/low Eddington ratio AGN, while there is no significant dependence of SF activity on the AGN type in the high $L_{14-195keV}$ luminosities/Eddington ratios.

The purpose of the present study is to determine an optimum composition using cheaper powders keeping with high performance of hard rock cutting diamond saw blade. With 50Fe-20(Cu . Sn)-30Co specimen, a part of Co was replaced by Ni(5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively). These specimens were hot pressed and sintered for predetermined time at various temperature. Sintering is performed by two different methods of temperature controlled method and specimen dimension controlled method. In order to determine the property of the sintered diamond saw blade, 3 point bending tester, X-ray diffractometer, and SEM were used. As the Co in the bond alloy was replaced by Ni, the hardness of the specimen increased. Thus the 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-15Co-15Ni specimen showed the maximum hardness of 104(HRB). The results of 3 point bending test showed that flexure strength decreased along with increase in Ni content. This is attributed to the formation of intermetallic compound(Ni$_{x}$Sn) determined by X-ray diffraction. The fracture surface after 3 point bending test showed that diamond was fractured in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni, and the fracture occurred at the interface between diamond and matrix in the specimen containing 15%Ni. The cutting ability test showed that the abrasive property was not changed in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni. The optimum composition determined in this study is 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-20Co-10Ni.

The origin of hamartoma from the Greek words for "error" and "tumor" is credited to Albrecht who in 1904 described a disorganized arrangement of tissues normally present in an organ and applied also to tumors found in many organs other than the lung. The hamartoma is the most common benign tumor of the lung and revealed accidentally as asymptomatic coin lesion on routine chest X-ray, but the incidence is very low and especially endobronchial origin extremely low. We have been successful surgical experienced one case of a 36-year-old female having endobronchial hamartoma, 4x2.Sx2 cm in size and located at right main bronchial lumen near the carina, which consists of a hard, nodular surfaced mass and adhered to the cartilaginous portion of the right upper lobe bronchus by dense fibrous band and migrate to trachea on expiration or coughing. This case was not suspected by chest X-ray or bronchogram and confirmed bronchoscopy with biopsy. Right pneumonectomy was inevitable because of bronchiectatic change of right bronchus due to tumor obstruction. She was discharged with relatively good general condition on 21 days postoperatively.

Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) machines recently developed in Korea, being designed for imaging hard tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. I reported a brief overview of CBCT system, in comparison with coventional computed tomography(CT) system. CBCT provides high resolution, simpler image acquisition, lower dose and cost alternative to conventional CT, promising to revolutionize the practice of oral and maxillofacial radiology.

The author studied on the transfer of radioactive fluorine ($^{18}F$) to dental hard tissue through animal experiments which was divided into two groups. First group of rats were sacrified 1, 2, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after intraperitoneal injection. Second group were sacrified 1 and 3 minutes after topical application on anterior teeth. The teeth were removed and sectioned by means of abrasive wheel and polished on india stone as thick as about 50 microns. Autoradiograph picture was made by close contact of high-speed dental X-ray film on prepared specimen for 2 hours. The results of this study were as follows; 1) There was no evidence of transfer of $^{18}F$ on dental hard tissue on the cases of 1, 2 and 5 minutes survival after intraperitoneal injection. 2) Radioactive sodium fluorine incorporated to dental hard tissue was slight and diffuse at 10 minutes cases and significant incorporated picture was noticed at 20 minutes cases in intraperitoneal injection. 3) On topical application groups incorporated $^{18}F$ to enamel was traced clearly only on enamel surface at 1 minute cases and significant transfer into whole enamel was found at 3 minutes cases.

Phase behavior of a PEO-PPO-PEO (Pluronic P103) triblock copolymer in water is investigated using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and rheology. Pluronic P103 shows apparent two gel states in different temperature regions. The first sol-to-gel transition at a lower temperature (i.e., the hard gel I state) turns out to be the hexagonal microphase as evidenced by the combined SANS and SAXS and the frequency dependence of both G′ and G" in rheology. In contrast to the hard gel I, the second sol-to-gel transition (i. e., the hard gel II state) at a higher temperature represents the block copolymer micelles in somewhat disordered state rather than the ordered state seen in the hard gel I. Moreover, turbidity change depending only on the temperature with four distinct regions is observed and the large aggregates with size larger than 5,000 nm are detected with DLS in the turbid solution region. Based upon the present study, two different gelation mechanisms for aqueous PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer solutions are proposed.

Development of ArF Photo-lithography process has proceeded with the increase of numerical aperature (NA) and the decrease of resist thickness. It makes many problems such as cost and process complexity. A novel spin-on hard mask system is proposed to overcome many problems Spin-on hard mask composed of two layers of siloxane and carbon. The optical thickness of two layers is designed from reflectivity measurement at specified n, k respectively. The property of photo-resist shows different results according to Si contents. Si-contents was measured XPS(X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy).

Scale is formed when hard water is heated or cooled in heat transfer equipments such as heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, cooling towers, boilers, and pipe walls. When the scale deposits in a heat exchanger surface, it is conventionally called fouling. The objective of the present study is to analyze the process of the fouling formation in a heat exchanger according to different types of water using visualization techniques. In order to experimentally investigate the formation of the fouling, this study built a lab-scaled heat exchanging system. Using the visualization techniques of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction method, the three dimensional configurations of the fouling formation could be successfully obtained. Based on the experimental results, it was found that the configurations of the fouling formation were different when using tap water compared to river water.

In this paper, we present the software on the development of the computerized imaging system for diagnosis and treatment plannig of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Soft tissue changes followed by orthognathic surgery mainly depends on surgical movements of hard tissue. Then, the stepwise multiple regression method was used to investigate the soft tissue changes followed by hard tissue changes. As a result of this research, we were able to develop a system which diagnoses automatic X-ray images and predicts soft tissue changes after othognathic surgery.
