  • The aim of this study is to prepare biodegradable microspheres without the use of surfactants or emulsifiers for a novel sustained delivery carriers of protein drugs. A poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (CEC) triblock copolymer was synthesized by the ring-opening of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone with dihydroxy poly (ethylene glycol) to prepare surfactant-free microspheres. When dichloromethane (DCM) or ethyl formate (EF) was used as a solvent, the formation of microspheres did not occur. Although the microspheres could be formed prior to lyophilization under certain conditions, the morphology of microspheres was not maintained during the filtration and lyophilization process. Surfactant-free microspheres were only formed when ethyl acetate (EA) was used as the organic solvent and showed good spherical micro-spheres although the surfaces appeared irregular. The content of the protein in the micro-sphere was lower than expected, probably because of the presence of water channels and pores. The protein release kinetics showed a burst release until 2 days and after that sustained release pattern was showed. Therefore, these observations indicated that the formation of microsphere without the use of surfactant is feasible, and, this the improved process, the protein is readily incorporated in the microsphere.

  • 본 연구는 MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductors Fleid Effect Transistors) 선량계의 교정과 특성분석을 위해서, 자체 팬톰을 개발하고 이 팬톰을 적용하여 표준감도와 고감도 두 종류의 MOSFET선량계의 특성을 비교 평가하는 것이다. 본 연구에서 개발한 팬톰은 직경 10cm의 반구형 모양인 팬톰과 1cm 두께 $30{\times}30cm^2$의 평판형의 팬톰으로 아크릴로 제작되었다. 평판형 팬톰은 MOSFET 선량계의 교정과 선량재현성, 선량직선성, 선량률 의존성을 측정하는데 사용하였으며 반구형 팬톰은 빔 입사각도 및 선량계 방향에 대한 MOSFET 선량계 특성을 분석하기 위해서 사용하였다. 모든 측정과정은 선형가속기(CL21EX, Varian, USA)의 6 MV 광자선, SSD 100cm, 조사면 $10{\times}10 cm^2$에서 수행하였다 선량계 교정과 선량재현성 평가에 사용된 5개의 표준감도와 고감도 MOSFET 선량계에 각각 200 cGy로 5번 반복 조사하여 $1.09{\pm}0.01{\sim}1.12{\pm}0.02,\;2.81{\pm}0.03{\sim}2.85{\pm}0.04mV/cGy$. 범위의 평균 교정계수가 결정되었고 선론쌔현성은 두 선량계 모두 2%이내로 거의 동일하였다. $5{\sim}600\;cGy$ 범위에서의 선량직선성은 두 MOSFET 선량계 모두 결정계수 $R^2=0.997$, 0.999인 좋은 선량직선성을 나타내었다. 200 cGy로 $100{\sim}600\;MU/min$ 범위의 선량률 의존성도 1%이내로 두 선량계가 동일하게 나타났다. 그러나 빔 입사각도와 선량계 방향의 의존성 평가에서, 표준감도와 고감도 MOSFET선량계는 평균적으로 빔 입사각도에 대해 13%, 10%의 변동폭과 ${\pm}4.4%$${\pm}2.1%$의 표준편차가 있었으며, 선량계 방향에 대해 5%, 2%의 변동폭, ${\pm}2.1%$${\pm}1.5%$의 표준편차로 두 선량계 간 현저한 차이를 나타났다 그러므로 여러 방향의 치료빔을 사용하는 방사선 치료의 선량검증을 위해서는 빔 입사각도와 선량계 방향의 의존성이 적은 고감도 MOSFET 선량계를 사용하는 것이 표준감도 WOSFET 선량계를 사용하는 것보다는 더 정확한 선량검증을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • A differential scheme based micromechanical framework is proposed to obtain the effective properties of the saturated concrete repaired by the electrochemical deposition method (EDM) considering the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) effects. The constituents of the repaired concrete are treated as different phases, consisting of (micro-)cracks, (micro-)voids and (micro-)pores (occupied by water), deposition products, intrinsic concrete made up by the three traditional solid phases (i.e., mortar, coarse aggregates and their interfaces) and the ITZs. By incorporating the composite sphere assemblage (CSA) model and the differential approach, a new multilevel homogenization scheme is utilized to quantitatively estimate the mechanical performance of the repaired concrete with the ITZs. The CSA model is modified to obtain the effective properties of the equivalent particle, which is a three-phase composite made up of the water, deposition products and the ITZs. The differential scheme is employed to reach the equivalent composite of the concrete repaired by EDM considering the ITZ effects. Moreover, modification procedures considering the ITZ effects are presented to attain the properties of the repaired concrete in the dry state. Results in this study are compared with those of the existing models and the experimental data. It is found that the predictions herein agree better with the experimental data than the previous models.

  • 다이아몬드는 산업적으로도 보석으로서도 경제적으로 매우 유용한 소재이다. 최근의 소형 고압고온 처리기의 발달로 저급한 갈색의 보석용 천연다이아몬드를 쉽게 고부가가치의 보석인 무색 또는 팬시칼라의 다이아몬드로 향상시키는 처리기술이 가능하게 되었다. 이러한 처리 다이아몬드는 천연의 무색, 팬시칼라 다이아몬드와 물성이 동일하여 기존의 보석감정 방안으로는 구별이 어려워서, 처리 다이아몬드를 경제적이고, 신속하고, 비파괴적으로 천연다이아몬드로부터 감별해 낼 필요성이 생겼다 기존의 광학적인 확대분석으로는 천연석과 처리석의 감별이 불가능하였다. 마이크로 라만 분석기를 이용하여 다이아몬드의 고유피크가 고압고온 처리시의 잔류응력에 의해 이동되는 현상으로 처리석의 감별 가능성을 확인하였다. Type I 다이아몬드는 처리에 의해 $10^4$ 정도의 압축스트레인이, Type II는 인장 잔류 스트레인이 존재하였다. 따라서 적절한 처리전의 기준시료가 있다면 이러한 잔류응력을 확인하는 것이 가능하였다.

  • Condensation control of nano-particles has become important in order to fabricate minute condensed structures. In this study, we focus our attention on condensation mechanism of polymer aggregates in a resist film. The polymer aggregate is structural component of a resist material which is used in lithography process. The condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface is observed by using atomic force microscope (AFM). By using the AFM, the condensation of polymer aggregates can be observed clearly. The condensation of polymer aggregate strongly affects to precise fabrication of resist pattern below 100nm size. The interaction force among polymer aggregates can be analyzed based on Derjaguin approximation. We also discuss about condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface with the help of micro sphere model.

  • In linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery, assuring the quality of the planning and delivery of external photon beam requires accurate evaluation of beam parameters, usually including output factors, tissue-phantom ratio and off-axis ratios, and measurement of actual dose distributions from simulated treatment. We're going to test the use of calibrated radio chromic film (Gafchromic film; type MD-55, Nuclear associate) using a Lumiscan 75 digitizer to measure absolute dose and relative dose distributions for linac-based radiosurgery unit Relative dose distribution of a human-style spherical acryl phantom were measured using radiochromic film and calculated by treatment planning system. The absolute dose at the sphere center was measured by radiochromic film and micro chamber (Exradin A-14, 0.009cc). What we want to demonstrate in this work, the 'well selected' radiochromic films when external photon beam are used in linac-based stereotactic radiosurgery are very accurate detector for dosimetry.

  • Numerical simulation for the axisymmetric body with contractive and dilative periodic motion is carried out. The present analysis shows that a propulsive force can be obtained in highly viscous fluid by the contractive and dilative motion of axisymmetric body. An axisymmetric code is developed with unstructured grid system for the simulation of complicated motion and geometry. It is validated by comparing with the results of Stokes approximation with the problem of uniform flow past a sphere in low Reynolds number($R_n$ = 1). The validated code is applied to the simulation of contractive and dilative periodic motion of body whose results are quantitatively compared with the two dimensional case. The simulation is extended to the analysis of waving surface with projecting part for finding out the difference of hydrodynamics performance according to variation of waving surface configuration. The present study will be the basic research for the development of the propulsor of an axisymmetric micro-hydro-machine.

  • The purpose of this study is to understand modernization process of korean housing during the past one century. To following up the changes of everyday lives of common peoples, magazines, news papers, tourist's records and gossip items were collected and interpreted from the microscopic point of view. In this study arguments on 'modernity' of korean housing was focused on some issues, thus, separation, differentiation, individualization, as well as privatization. Concrete discourses are; firstly, spatial isolation of housing and urban place each other, secondly, functional division of inner spaces of housing, and lastly, guarantee of privacy sphere. Historical changes of housing showed some meaningful phenomena. Before modernization housing was place of reproduction and consume at the same time. However after modern urban space came into existence and work and rest were separated, housing gained only mono function. Thus, housing have only one meaning as private place for nuclear family, that is "Home, Sweet Home." Instead of past multi-functional rooms, functional prescribed rooms, for example, dinning room, were newly born. In the past, the boundary between public and private sphere was not clear. For examples, everyday experiences of family were extended to the street and in the house in most cases spaces were shared. But after modernization the scale of individual spaces become larger and private life can be secured. Consequently, history of everyday life from traditional agricultural society to industrialized modern society demonstrates the structural context between the micro and macro dimension in the fields of human life. In other words, everyday lives and macro history response each other and create new perception of time-space structure in the modern housing.
