  • A method of activation analysis, based on the irradiation and counting of an iron wire which contains manganese impurity as the single comparator. has been elaborated by critical evaluation of nuclear data involved in activation and activity measurement. The variation of effective cross section is investigated as a function of the spectral index and other parameters such as a measure of the proportion of epithermal neutrons in the reactor spectrum. The errors induced by shifts in the neutron spectrum in the irradiation positions are discussed. The known amount of each element is irradiated simultaneously together with the single comparator, and the obtained values are compared with the known amount of each element. The results show that en general the random errors are not greater than those obtained by using the conventional relative method, but the systematic errors were up to about 20%. This method is applied to the determinations of fourteen rare earth elements in monazite as well as other seven elements in the standard kale powder. The satisfactory reproducibility of the present method makes possible the determination of the elements with an accuracy attainable with the conventional relative method.

  • Electron and hole traps in semi-insulating GaAs with activation energies ({\Delta}E_r) ranging from 0.16 $\pm$ 0.01 to 0.98 $\pm$ 0.01 eV, have been detected and characterized by photo-induced current transient measurements. SI undoped GaAs has fewer deep levels than SI GaAs: Cr. The thermal capture cross section and density of the traps have been estimated and some of the centers have been related to native defects. In particular, the activation energy of the compensating Cr, and "0" levels in semi-insulating GaAs were accurately measured. The transient measurements were complemented by Hall measurements at T > 300K and photocurrent spectra measurements. The transition energies for the deep compensating levels obtained by the analyses of data from these measurements, when compared with those from the transient measurements, indicate negligible lattice-coupling of these centers. Analysis of the transport data also indicates that neutral impurity scattering plays a significant role in semi-insulating materials at high temperatures.

  • Purification of silica mineral has been investigated by acid leaching of pulverized silica. A series of studies has been carried out on the effect of leaching silica powder as a function of the leaching time at the constant temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ in oxalic acid, aqua regia, and two mixed acids of HF/HCl, $HF/HNO_3$. The impurities of silica and leachantes were measured by neutron activation analysis (NAA), inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES), atomic absorption spectrometry, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) method and wet analysis (WA). Certain metals, such as sodium, calcium, iron, aluminium and titanium, have been found in concentrations of hundreds or even thousands of mg/kg. Comparison of purification processes of silica and analytical methods of impurities in the silica was conducted in this study.

  • 인간이 역사를 이루며 살아오면서 피복은 인간의 생활 수단으로서 빠뜨릴 수 없는 존재가 되었다. 사외 생활을 하면서 인간은 자신을 보호하고 남에게 자신의 이미지를 전달하고 자신의 욕구를 표출하면서 만족시키는데 있어 의복은 가장 중요한 역활을 하고 있고 인간 역시 그러한 것들을 의복에 의존하고 있는 것이다. 그러나 정상인을 위한 의복만 취급되어지는 시장에서 신체장애자들은 정상인보다도 더 세심하게 기능들이 고려된 의복이 필요함에도 불구하고 의복의 기능들을 생각하면서 의복을 선택할 수가 없다. 이러한 사앙들이 대두되면서 현대에 들어 신체 장애자 의복에 있어서 불편함을 없애고 보다 적합한 의복을 만들기 위한 연구가 진행되었다. 신체 장애자의 의복 연구는 Ward가 이 부분에 관심을 표명한 이후 임상 의사들에 의해 연구가 이루어지기 시작했다. 우리나라에서도 1976년 심성식의 한국 신체 장애자의 의복에 관한 연구를 기점으로 이 분야의 관심도가 높아지고 있으나 아직까지는 전반적으로 부족한 실정이다. 특히 위생적인 분야에서는 자료가 매우 부족하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 휠체어를 사용하는 하지 마비자의 체표 면을 떠서 기성복 패턴과 비교를 통해 보다 편안한 바지 패턴을 제시하고, 여름철에 많이 사용하는 직물로 바지를 제작하고 착용시킨후 인체 생리 반응을 분석하여 여름철에 쾌적한 바지를 알아 보았다. 이 연구를 통해 일반인과는 생활 자세가 다른 휠체어를 사용하는 하지 마비자와 일반인이 입는 기성복 바지를 착용 했을 때 생기는 불합리한 요소들을 고려하여 미적이고 기능적 및 위생적인 측면에서 신체 장애자에게 보다 적합한 바지를 제작하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다.값은 $f^{m}$ (p-1)-1 이다.

  • The glass-ceramics was prepared with the scoria(CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system) of the locally occurring volcanic ejecta containing 10-13w/o of (FeO+Fe2O3) by melting at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours and thermally treated for nucleation and crystallization. The sucrose was added to the scoria to adjust the Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio during the melting process. The addition of 1-2w/o of sucrose showed the glass-ceramics body with the finest particle developed and dispersed over the entire range. It is concluded that the impurity content of iron oxide and titanium oxide play the most-influencial effect on the crystallization. When 1-2w/o of sucrose was added to the scoria, the value of Fe2+/Fe3+ ratio was 0.93-1.32 and showed the best result of crystallization. The nucleation temperature and time were calculated by the measurements of exothermic peak temperatures of DTA for quenched and thermally treated glasses. The nucleation temperature of scoria glass without the addition of sucrose was estimated as 75$0^{\circ}C$, but the addition of sucrose by 2w/o showed the nucleation temperature 6$25^{\circ}C$. The nucleation time was calculated with the same DTA curves. The nucleation times estimated were about 150min. for both of glasses without and with sucrose added. Finally, the activation energies for crystallization were calculated with the DTA data. The calculated activation energies were 143 Kcal/mole for the glass without addition of sucrose and 90Kcal/mole, 87Kcal/mole, 85Kcal/mole and 71Kcal/mole for the glasses of 1w/o, 2w/o, 3w/o and 4w/o addition respectively.

  • 한국어 자음에 대한 생리적인 분류는 조음점 및 조음발법에 따라 다시 세분화할 수 있는데 그중에서 조음발법에 따라 파열음, 마찰음, 파찰음 및 비음들 여러가지로 분류할 수 있다. 그중 특히 파열음은 그 개방하는 방법에 따라 연음(lenis), 경음(glottalized) 및 기식음(aspirated)등으로 구분하는데 이러한 각음을 육안으로 확인하면 모음이 발성되기 위한 성대진동이 있기전의 자음을 위한 성대의 운동의 현상을 보면 기식음에서는 성대열림이 가장 크고 연음에서도 열림이 크지만 기식음보다는 적고 경음에서는 성대의 열림이 가장 작았다. 이러한 현상은 후두내시경에 의해 쉽게 확인할 수 있었는데 이것을 과학적으로 규명하기 위해서는 여러연구에 의해 가능하나 흔히 후두근전도 검사에 의한 성대내전근과 외전근의 역할의 차이를 비교함으로서 가능해지리라 예상되어 본 연구를 시행하였다. 사용된 문형 또는 단어는 한가지를 제외하고는 모두 의미있는 단어를 사용하였으며 EMG recording을 위해 사용된 근육은 후두내전근인 Vocalis muscle과 후두외전근인 Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle이 사용되었고 전기신호는 computer data processing system에 의해 분석되어졌다. 결과는 내시경에 의한 성대열림의 거리측정 결과를 분석함과 동시에 후두내근에 대한 근전도검사에 의한 분석을 토대로 하였으며 이를 간단히 설명하면 이제까지 많은 사람들은 한국어 자음에 대한 각각의 특징적인 현상들을 주로 성대내전근의 역할에 의해 규명하였으나 본 결과로는 성대내전근의 역할도 중요하지만 성대외전근의 역할 또한 상호 연관성을 가지면서 매우 중요한 역할을 한다는 점이다.for the Isotropic plates can be used.

  • In order to investigate the laser effects resulted from the behaviors of carriers for BOPP film, experiment of TSC were carried out on the specimen with 15[$\mu\textrm{m}$] thick irradiated by He-Ne laser. The TSC spectras were observed in the temperature range of -100[$^{\circ}C$] to 130[$^{\circ}C$] with the electric field of 20∼60[MV/m], had show four of the distinguished peak such as ${\alpha}$$_1$, ${\alpha}$$_2$, ${\beta}$ and ${\gamma}$, which appeared at 115, 80, 17 and -30[$^{\circ}C$] respectively. Specially, ${\alpha}$$_1$ was observed and anomalous TSC flowing in the same direction as the charging current on the high-electric field such as 50∼60[MV/m]. In according on the consequences obtained from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$$_1$peak was attributed to the detrapping process form trap with 2.88[eV] deep of injected space charge from the chathode in the crystaline regions. The origin of ${\alpha}$$_2$ peak was regarded as the detrapping process of ions trapped with 0.9[eV] deep originated from impurity-ion remained in the specimen during production process of the material, in the crystalline regions. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was concluded to be due to the depolarization process of "C=0"dipole with the activation energy of 0.75[eV] in the amorphous regions. The origin of ${\gamma}$ peak was responsible to the process combined with the depolarization of "CH$_3$", chain segment, with the activation energy of carriers from the shallow trap with 0.4[eV], in he amorphous regions.

  • Color impurity in industrial effluents pose a significant risk to human health and the environment, so much effort has been expended to degrade them using various methods, including the use of clay minerals as adsorbent. The purpose of this study was to advance understanding of the mechanisms for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solutions onto montmorillonite as an adsorbent. Preliminary experiments showed that montmorillonite was effective for this purpose and adsorption equilibrium could be reached in about 24 h. Adsorption capacity of the clay decreased with increase in temperature and ionic strength, and increased with in pH. The fitness of equilibrium data to common isotherm equations such as the Langmuir, Freundlich, Elovich, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich were tested. The Langmuir equation fitted to equilibrium data better than all tested isotherm models. Thermodynamic activation parameters such as ${\Delta}G^0$, ${\Delta}S^0$ and ${\Delta}H^0$ were also calculated and results were evaluated. As result montmorillonite clay was found as effective low cost adsorbent for removal of cationic dyes from waste waters.
