Fourier transform 적외선 분광기를 사용하여 원적외선 (<200 cm-1) 영역과 중간적외선 (400-4000 cm-1) 영역에서 열수기원 일라이트의 층간 결합상태와 화학조성간의 관계를 해석하였다. 중간 적외선 영역에서는 2M1 다형의 Al-O-Al 및 Al-O-Si 결합이 1Md 형의 것보다 강한 것으로 나타났다. 원적외선 영역에서는 세 종류의 K-O 결합이 111-114, 135-143 및 167-168 cm-1에서 인지되었다. 2M1과 1Md 다형간의 가장 큰 차이는 2M1형의 층간결합이 1Md형보다 상대적으로 강하여 K가 층간에 보다 강하게 결합되어 있다는 점이며, 두 다형의 층간결합의 상태는 서로 상이하다. K-Oinner band는 (OH) stretching band의 진동수가 높을수록 커지며, (OH) stretching band는 팔면체의 양이온 (Fe+Mg)의 함량에도 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effects of upper trapezius muscle stretching in more tensed position (MTP) and less tensed position (LTP) on the change of range of motion (ROM) for neck rotation, and the ROM for conjunct neck motions at end-range of neck rotation toward the painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain. Eighteen patients with unilateral neck pain were recruited for the study's MTP group, and 18 age-, weight- and gender-matched patients with unilateral neck pain were recruited for LTP group. The ROM changes in active neck primary and conjunct motions were measured using a cervical ROM inclinometer in the sitting position. Our results showed that both upper trapezius stretching method in MTP and LTP were significantly effective in increasing the ROM of neck rotation toward painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain. However, a significantly greater increase in the ROM for neck rotation and a further decrease in conjunct neck extension during neck rotation toward the painful side were shown in MTP group, compared to LTP group. The upper trapezius stretching in MTP is useful in increasing the ROM of neck rotation and decreasing the range of conjunct neck extension during neck rotation toward the painful side in patients with unilateral neck pain.

Background: Posterior capsule tightness (PCT), commonly seen in overhead athletes, is a soft tissue adaptation that is also noted in non-throwers. PCT is associated with scapular and humeral kinematic alterations, significant restriction of shoulder internal rotation (IR) range of motion (ROM), and significant scapular anterior tilting. Sleeper and cross-body stretches (CBS) are suggested for PCT and IR deficits, and have been modified since introduction. A novel modified sleeper stretch (NMSS) was designed in this study to prevent the risk of anterior translation of the humeral head. Though the effects of posterior shoulder stretching exercise have been widely studies, to the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have investigated the effectiveness of posterior shoulder exercises in decreasing scapular anterior tilting. Objects: To compare the immediate effects of two posterior shoulder stretching exercises (NMSS and CBS) on scapular anterior tilting and shoulder IR ROM. Methods: Thirty-two subjects with anteriorly tilted scapula and IR deficits [mean age: 24.3 ± 2.5 years; 15 males and 17 females] participated in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either the NMSS or CBS groups. Scapular anterior tilting (at rest and at shoulder 60° active IR) and shoulder IR ROM were measured before and immediately after intervention. Results: Scapular anterior tilting significantly decreased, while the shoulder IR ROM significantly increased in both groups. However, there was no significant group-by-time interaction effect or significant difference between the groups. Conclusion: Both stretching exercises were effective in restoring shoulder IR ROM and decreasing scapular anterior tilting.

The adsorptions of gaseous $H_2O\;and\;D_2O\;on\;Na^+-,\;Ca^{2+}-,\;and\;Al^{3+}$ montmorillonites at various temperatures were undertaken. Break down of ir hydroxyl stretching bands into four Gaussian components was made by means of manual technique. Resonance theory of water to form silanol hydroxyl group was supported by $3625cm^{-1}$ band for OH and $2680cm^{-1}$ band for OD which depend on amounts of water adsorbed. The broad bands at about $3400 cm^{-1}\;and\;2475cm^{-1}$ were assigned to stretching band of silanol OH hydrogen bonded to adsorbed water. The prominent $3230 cm^{-1}$ band together with component around $2345 cm^{-1}$ were attributed to adsorbed $H_2O\;and\;D_2O$ respectively. The chemical nature of the hydrogen bonding between adsorbed water and neighboring surface OH was explained adequately in terms of electrostatic interaction.

Infrared absorption spectra of alkyl alcohols in the OH stretching region were obtained from varying the concentrations of alcohols in $CCl_4$. The OH stretching bands were broadened and shifted to lower frequencies due to the hydrogen-bond formation. Three bands were obtained from the breakdown of these bands by the simplex method. Each band was assigned to various types of hydrogen-bonded OH groups. The electronic structures and interaction energies of dimeric and trimeric alcohols were calculated by semi-empirical MO(CNDO/2, INDO) methods. These results were in good agreement with those of deconvoluted ir spectra. The EDA(electron donor-acceptor) effect of alkyl group on hydrogen-bond formation was in the decreasing order of butyl > propyl > ethyl > methyl group. On the other hand, the experimental results were in the order : propyl > ethyl > butyl > methyl group. This seemed to be ascribed to the bulkiness of butyl alcohol.

A new series of $dioxo-di-{\mu}-oxo-dimolybdate(V)(*image)$, has been prepared by the reaction of pyridinum oxoisothiocyanato-molybdate(V) with 1, 6-diaminohexane-N, N, N', N'-tetraacetic acid derivatives containing amine carboxyl groups. The properties and possible molecular structure of these complexes were discussed by elemental analysis, spectroscopic studies and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The infrared spectra of these complexes show two strong Mo=$O_t$ stretching modes in the $900-965cm^{-1}$, MoO$_2$Mo stretching bands at around 450∼500 and $740-765 cm^{-1}$ to symmetrical and asymmetrical O-bridge stretching, a coordinated $COO^-$ asymmetrical band in the $1600-1635 cm^{-1}$. The complexes synthesized were yellow or orange and diamagnetic.

Purpose: The isolated exercise therapy and its effect for the treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is not well known. The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical effect of stretching and strengthening exercise program on the patients' muscle function and range of motion, pain and gait in the management of the early stage PTTD. Materials and Methods: From October 2006 to March 2007, 14 patients with early stage PTTD (stage I or IIa) without surgical intervention were randomly assigned into two groups and we analyzed their clinical results. All patients were female and one who have sprained the same ankle during the program and one who withdrew from the program due to her private reason were excluded. At the last, the exercise group (EG) was seven and the control group (CG) was five. Mann-Whitney U test was used for the comparison of pain, ROM, muscle power, AOFAS score and 5 minute walking test of both groups. Wilcoxon-signed rank test was used for the comparison between the pre and post exercise program in EG. Results: The pain was significantly reduced in EG compare to CG and only the dorsiflexion was significantly increased in EG in the analysis of ROM. The dorsi flexion and plantar flexion power were significantly increased in EG. Conclusion: Our 6 weeks stretching and strengthening exercise program showed noticeably improved clinical result, and therefore it is recommended as one of the useful treatment option in the management of early stage PTTD.

Background: Various methods are used for recovery of knee flexion range of motion (ROM) due to a tightened rectus femoris muscle (RFM) or limited inferior glide of the patella. Stretching methods are common interventions for restoring the tightened RFM length. Also patellar inferior gliding (PIG) technique can recover tightened RFM length too. However, effect of applying the PIG to passive knee flexion (PKF) has not been studied. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combining PIG with RFM stretching for improving knee flexion ROM in subjects with RFM tightness. Methods: Twenty-six subjects with RFM tightness were recruited. Two different methods of knee stretching were tested: 1) PKF during modified Thomas test (MTT) and 2) PKF with PIG during MTT. The passive stretching forces was controlled by hand-held dynamometer. The knee flexion ROM angle was measured by a MTT with ImageJ software. Differences between the conditions with and without PIG were identified with a paired t-test. Results: The knee flexion ROM was significantly greater for PKF with PIG ($114.44{\pm}9.33$) than for PKF alone ($108.97{\pm}9.42$) (p<.001). Conclusion: A combination of passive knee flexion exercise and PIG can be more effective than PKF in increasing knee flexion ROM in individuals with RFM tightness.

The PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) fibers were prepared using the wet spinning processing. To improve ${\beta}$-phase crystalline which closely related piezoelectric property PVDF wet spun fibers conducted post treatment. Post treatment is consisted of heat stretching and annealing process. The heat stretching and annealing conditions were controlled by changing temperature between glass transition temperature and melting temperature. From these experimental data, the resulting crystal structure of the ${\beta}$-phase crystalline was confirmed by FT-IR and XRD experiments. From these analysis results, optimum stretching and annealing conditions of the wet spun PVDF fibers were founded to increase high ${\beta}$-phase crystalline. Furthermore results showed that thermal processing had a direct effect on modifying the crystalline microstructure and also confirmed that heat stretching and annealing could increase the degree of crystallinity and ${\beta}$-phase crystalline. Finally, piezoelectric constant ($d_{11}$) of the post heat treated PVDF fibers reinforced composite were measured to investigate the feasibility for the sensing materials.

Coated sheet steels have been increasingly used in automotive industry for improving corrosion resistance. One of the arised concerns is frictional behavior of coated sheet steel in stamping process. But analyses of the frictional behavior are complex and difficult. A tensile strip test has been developed for evaluating friction under the condition which simulate the stretching of sheet. Tests are conducted under different die radius and lubrication conditions. Electro-galvanized steel sheets show a lower coefficient of friction than bare steel sheets whose coated layers have been chemically removed. The coefficients of friction are independent of die radius.
