Production of iodine-131 by neutron activation of tellurium in tellurium dioxide ($TeO_2$) material requires a target that meets the safety requirements. In a radiopharmaceutical production unit, a new lid for a can was designed, which permits tight sealing of the target by using tungsten inert gaswelding. The leakage rate of all prepared targets was assessed using a helium mass spectrometer. The accepted leakage rate is ${\leq}10^{-4}mbr.L/s$, according to the approved safety report related to iodine-131 production in the TRIGA Mark II research reactor (TRIGA: Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics). To confirm the resistance of the new design to the irradiation conditions in the TRIGA Mark II research reactor's central thimble, a study of heat effect on the sealed targets for 7 hours in an oven was conducted and the leakage rates were evaluated. The results show that the tightness of the targets is ensured up to $600^{\circ}C$ with the appearance of deformations on lids beyond $450^{\circ}C$. The study of heat transfer through the target was conducted by adopting a one-dimensional approximation, under consideration of the three transfer modes-convection, conduction, and radiation. The quantities of heat generated by gamma and neutron heating were calculated by a validated computational model for the neutronic simulation of the TRIGA Mark II research reactor using the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code. Using the heat transfer equations according to the three modes of heat transfer, the thermal study of I-131 production by irradiation of the target in the central thimble showed that the temperatures of materials do not exceed the corresponding melting points. To validate this new design, several targets have been irradiated in the central thimble according to a preplanned irradiation program, going from4 hours of irradiation at a power level of 0.5MWup to 35 hours (7 h/d for 5 days a week) at 1.5MW. The results showthat the irradiated targets are tight because no iodine-131 was released in the atmosphere of the reactor building and in the reactor cooling water of the primary circuit.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM. Over the years, resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) have gone through substantial development and refinement. Several studies examined the biomechanics of tooth preparation and framework design in relation to the success rate of RBFPDs and considered retention and resistance form essential for increase of clinical retention. However, these criteria required preparations to be more invasive, which violates not only the original intentions of the RBFPD, but may also have an adverse effect on retention due to loss of enamel, an important factor in bonding. PURPOSE. The object of this in vitro study was to compare the dislodgement resistance of the new types of RBFPDs, the conventional three-unit fixed partial denture, and conventional design of RBFPD (Maryland bridge). MATERIAL AND METHODS. Fifty resin mandibular left second premolars and second molars were prepared on dentiforms, according to the RBFPD design. After model fabrication (five group, n = 10), prostheses were fabricated and cemented with zinc phosphate cement. After cementation, the specimens were subjected to tensile loading at a cross head speed of 4 mm/min in a universal testing machine. The separation load was recorded and analyzed statistically using one-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan's multiple range test. RESULTS. Group V, the pin-retained RBFPDs, had the highest mean dislodgement resistance, whereas specimens of group II, the conventional RBFPDs, exhibited a significantly lower mean dislodgement resistance compared to the other 4 groups (P <.05). There were no significant differences between group I, III, and IV in terms of dislodgement resistance (P>.05). Group V had the highest mean MPa (N/$mm^2$) (P <.05). There was no significant difference between groups I, II, III and IV (P > .05). CONCLUSION. Within the limits of the design of this in vitro study, it was concluded that: 1. The modified RBFPDs which utilizes the original tooth undercuts and requires no tooth preparation, compared with the conventional design of RBFPDs, has significantly high dislodgement resistance (P < .05). 2. The modified RBFPDs which utilizes the original tooth undercuts and requires minimal tooth preparation, compared with the conventional FPDs, has significantly no difference in retention and dislodgement resistance)(P>.05). 3. The pin-retained FPDs showed a high dislodgement resistance compared to the conventional three-unit FPDs (P<.05).

연약지반 상에 시공시 지하배수층으로서의 역할을 하여 압밀침하를 촉진시키고 주행성을 증가하는 역할을 하는 샌트매트와 관련한 여러 문제점들이 있다. 이중 무엇보다도 모래의 수급의 불균형으로 인하여 모래가격의 상승과 전체 시공공정의 지연을 야기하는 점이 가장 큰 문제점이라 할 수 있을 것이다. 다음으로는 모래확보를 위한 무분별한 채굴과 준설로 말미암은 환경 및 자연경관의 파괴도 이러한 문제점중의 하나이다. 따라서 Sand Mat를 대체할 수 있는 환경친화적인 재료에 대한 필요성이 날로 증가하고 있는 실정이다. 아마도 섬유매트는 이러한 요구에 부응하는 적적한 재료중의 하나라 할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 모형실험을 통하여 샌드매트의 배수특성과 섬유매트의 배수특성을 비교하여 보고자 하였다. 실험결과, 섬유매트의 경우가 샌트매트에 비하여 짧은 압밀시간이 소요되었으며 동일시간의 침하량이 다소 크게 발생하였다. 섬유매트의 샌트매트 대체가능성은 배수효율적인 측면에서 높게 평가되었다. 더욱이 섬유매트는 배수층으로서의 역할 룬만 아니라 당 현장이나 인근현장의 사토를 장비주행성 향상을 위한 목적으로 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

Purpose: This study evaluated powdered burn wound dressing materials from wild silkworm fibroin in an animal model. Methods: Fifteen rats were used in this experiment. Full-thickness $2{\times}2cm$ burn wounds were created on the back of rats under anesthesia. In the two experimental groups, the wounds were treated with two different dressing materials made from silkworm fibroin. In the Control Group, natural healing without any dressing material was set as control. The wound surface area was measured at five days, seven days and 14 days. Wound healing was evaluated by histologic analysis. Results: By gross observation, there were no infections or severe inflammations through 14 days post-injury. The differences among groups were statistically significant at seven days and 14 days, postoperatively (P<0.037 and 0.001, respectively). By post hoc test, the defect size was significantly smaller in experimental Group 1 compared with the Control Group and experimental Group 2 at seven days postoperatively (P=0.022 and 0.029, respectively). The difference between Group 1 and Group 2 was statistically significant at 14 days postoperatively (P<0.001). Group 1 and control also differed significantly (P=0.002). Group 1 showed a smaller residual scar than the Control Group and Group 2 at 14 days post-injury. Histologic analysis showed more re-epithelization in Groups 1 and 2 than in the Control Groups. Conclusion: Burn wound healing was accelerated with silk fibroin spun by wild silkworm Antheraea pernyi. There was no atypical inflammation with silk dressing materials. In conclusion, silk dressing materials can be used for treatment of burn wound.

건설 현장의 자재 위치 추적 기술은 건설 프로젝트의 생산성을 극대화시킬 수 있는 중요한 기술로서 현재 국내외적으로 많은 연구가 수행 중에 있다. 최근 들어 RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) 시스템을 이용하여 공급 사슬망 전반에 걸친 건설 자재에 대한 실시간 위치 추적에 대한 연구가 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 짧은 인식거리, 저조한 인식율등의 문제로 바코드 대체 수준으로 그 활용이 미비한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 인식거리르 보다 길게 하는 900MHz 대역의 RFID 시스템과 인식된 데이터를 무선 통신(Zigbee)을 사용하여 전달하는 RFID/USN 연동시스템 개발과 그 활용 방안을 제안한다. RFID/USN 연동 시스템을 건설현장의 자재관리에 시험적으로 적용, 실중 테스트를 수행함으로써 첨단 센싱 기술 및 전파식별 기술에 대한 현장 활용 가능 여부, 실증 테스트 시 발생하는 기술적 애로 사항 및 다양한 활용 방안을 도출하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한 원격지에 있는 현장 관리자를 위하여 기존 인프라네트워크를 이용하여 실시간 자재 및 장비의 위치 데이터를 관리자가 원할 경우 언제 어디서든 실시간으로 전달 가능하도록 이동통신망(CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access)과의 연동 시스템을 현장에서 적용 및 점검한다.

연약한 점토지반에 대규모 토목시설을 건설하기 위해서는 연약지반 안정화 처리가 불가피하다. 일반적으로 연약지반 안정화 처리를 위해 압밀촉진공법으로 선행재하공법이 사용되고 있으나 선행재하공법은 공사기간이 매우 길고, 재하용 성토재료를 확보해야 하는 단점이 있기 때문에 이를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 전기삼투공법 등이 사용되고 있다. 전기삼투공법은 금속성 전극재가 사용되기 때문에 시공 및 경제적 측면에서 불리하다. 따라서 금속성 전극재를 대신하기 위해 기존 플라스틱 드레인 보드(PBD)에 전기를 공급할 수 있도록 나노기술을 이용한 플라스틱 전극재가 개발되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 플라스틱 전극재의 간격에 따른 연약지반의 개량 효과와 전기적 특성을 확인하기 위한 모형실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 지반개량 효과는 전극간 거리가 길수록 최대 49% 감소하였고 전기적 특성은 전극간 거리에 따른 압밀침하에 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to design a model with the structural stability so as not to lose the operational function due to structural plastic or fail of a sliding blast door by blast pressure to this aim, a numerical simulation was performed using full-size experiments and M&S (Modeling & Simulation) of the sliding blast door. The sliding blast door ($W3,000{\times}H2,500mm$) under the blast load is in the form of a sliding type 2-way metal grill, which was applied by a design blast pressure (reflected pressure $P_r$) of 17 bar. According to the experimental results of a real sliding blast door under blast load, the blast pressure reached the sliding blast door approximately 4.3 ms after the explosion and lasted about 4.0 ms thereafter. The maximum blast pressure($P_r$) was 347.7 psi (2,397.3 kPa), it is similar to the UFC 3-340-02 of Parameter(91 %). In addition, operation inspection that was conducted for the sliding blast door after real test showed a problem of losing the door opening function, which was because of the fail of the Reversal Bolt that was installed to prevent the shock due to rebound of the blast door from the blast pressure. According to the reproduction of the experiment through M&S by applying the blast pressure measurement value of the full-size experiments, the sliding blast door showed a similar result to the full-size experiment in that the reversal bolt part failed to lose the function. In addition, as the pressure is concentrated on the failed reversal bolt, the Principal Tensile Failure Stress was exceeded in only 1.25 ms after the explosion, and the reversal bolt completely failed after 5.4 ms. Based on the result of the failed reversal bolt through the full-size experiment and M&S, the shape and size of the bolts were changed to re-design the M&S and re-analyze the sliding blast door. According to the M&S re-analysis result when the reversal bolt was designed in a square of 25 mm ($625mm^2$), the maximum pressure that the reversal bolt receives showed 81% of the principal tensile failure stress of the material, in plastic stage before fail.

Adsorption characteristics of three endocrine disruptors, amitrol, nonylphenol, and bisphenol-A, were evaluated depending on the type and service duration of activated carbon (AC). Bituminous coal-, wood-, and coconut-based coals were tested. Bituminous coal-based AC (BCAC) had the greatest sorption capacity for the three chemicals tested, followed by wood-based AC (WAC) for nonylphenol and coconut palm-based AC (CAC) for bisphenol-A. During the column test, amitrol removal efficiency increased over time, indicating that hydrophilic endocrine disruptors are biodegraded in the AC column. Removal efficiencies of hydrophobic compounds such as nonylphenol and bisphenol-A decreased over time since the main removal mechanism was adsorption. The order of the amitrol removal was: BCAC-5.9 yr, CAC-3.l yr > BCAC-2.2 yr > BCAC-virgin > CAC-virgin > WAC-virgin > WAC-3.l yr. In general, used AC had greater removals than virgin AC. The order of the bisphenol-A removal was: CAC-virgin > BCAC-2.2 yr > CAC-3.l yr > WAC-virgin > BCAC-5.9 yr > WAC-3.l yr. The order of the nonylphenol removal was: BCAC-virgin > WAC-virgin > CAC-3.1 yr, WAC-3.1yr> BCAC-2.2 yr > BCAC-5.9 yr > CAC-3.1 yr. Bituminous coal AC performed the best over time. Endocrine disruptors such as these three compounds appear to be removed effectively by activated carbon through biodegradation and adsorption. Wood and coal based among the virgin ACs and 3.1 years used wood base among the used ACs appeared the lowest carbon usage rate(CUR) for nonylphenol removal by prediction model. Virgin and used coconut base ACs except BCAC had the lowest CUR for removal Bisphenol-A. Biodegradation of nonylphenol and Bisphenol-A did not occurred during the 9,800 bed volume experiment period. BCAC had the highest biodegradation capacity of 46% for amitrol among virgin ACs and the used coal based ACs had 33-44% higher biodegradation capacity than virgin's for amitrol so biodegradation is the effective removal technology for hydrophilic material such as amitrol.
