신선농산물의 호홉속도를 측정하는 방법 중 하나인 개방계(open system) 호흡속도 측정시스템은 소정의 농도로 조정된 혼합기체를 측정대상시료에 흘려 보내며 측정하는 방법이다. 개방계 측정법의 장점은 혼합 기체조성 영역에서 정확한 호흡속도를 얻을 수 있으며 방치시간이 필요 없으므로 반복 측정이 용이한 것 등이다. 그러나 개방계 측정법은 공급되는 혼합기체의 농도와 유속이 일정하여야 하며 연속으로 호흡속도 측정용 챔버의 혼합기체 공급측과 배기측에서 기체시료를 수집하여 매우 미세한 기체농도의 차이를 측정할 수 있어야 하고 기체 시료 수집에 상당한 주의가 요구된다. 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위하여 개방계 호흡속도 측정 시스템을 자동화하였다. 자동화된 호흡속도 측정 시스템은 혼합기체 발생장치, 온도조절이 가능한 기체기밀용 챔버와 G.C로 구성되어 있다. 환경기체조성을 위한 혼합기체발생장치는 $N_2$, $O_2$, $CO_2$ 압축 실린더에서 공급되는 기체를 압력 조절기를 통해서 일차압력을 조정하고 정밀 압력 조절기를 이용하여 0.1~0.2 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 정압을 유지시켰다. 압력이 일정해진 기체는 metering valve를 이용하여 각 기체의 유량을 소정의 비율로 제어할 수 있도록 하였으며 각각의 기체는 gas mixed cell에서 실험 농도의 환경기체조성으로 혼합되어 항온기내의 호흡속도 측정 챔버($25^{\circ}C$)로 공급될 수 있도록 하였다. 호흡속도 측정용 챔버는 개스킷이 장착된 아크릴 재질이며 온도 조절이 가능한 항온기로 구성되어 있다. 호흡속도 측정용 챔버와 G.C간의 기체흐름은 three way solenoid valve에 의하여 제어되며 전원의 on/off에 따라 공급측의 가스와 배기측의 가스가 선택적으로 G.C에 공급될 수 있도록 구성하였다. 측정 대상 챔버의 기체는 제어된 유로를 따라 multi-position valve를 통과하여 G.C에서 분석되도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 개방계 호흡속도 자동 측정 시스템의 성능 실험에서 혼합기체발생장치에서 조제된 혼합 기체의 농도를 설정치와 비교한 결과 $O_2$와 $CO_2$의 농도에서 평균오차 0.2%로 정밀한 것으로 나타났으며 호흡속도 측정용 챔버의 혼합기체 공급측과 배기측의 가스 농도를 3회 반복 측정한 결과 재현성에서는 0.1%이하의 편차로 나타났다. 개방계 호흡속도 자동 측정 시스템을 이용하여 환경기체조성하에서 토마토의 호흡속도를 측정하는 실측 실험을 수행한 결과 2$0^{\circ}C$에서 12.7~42.1mg$CO_2$/kg.hr였으며 12$^{\circ}C$에서 2.5~8.2mg$CO_2$/kg.hr로 일반적으로 보고되고 있는 토마토 호흡속도와 일치하는 결과를 나타내었다.

본 연구의 목적은 액체 혼합물의 끓음에 대한 예비 화학교사의 인식을 알아보는 것이다. 이를 위해 사범대학에 재학 중인 예비 화학교사 65명을 대상으로 에탄올 수용액의 끓는점과 가열 곡선 유형, 용액이 끓을 때의 기포 속 입자 모형 등에 대한 설문조사를 실시하고, 이 중 9명을 면담하였다. 그 결과, 50% 몰분율의 에탄올 수용액의 끓는점에 대한 예비교사의 인식은 ‘78-100 ℃ 구간에서 끓기 시작한다’는 과학적인 응답이 52.3%이었고, ‘에탄올 끓는점인 78 ℃에서 끓기 시작한다’고 생각하는 응답이 35.4%이었다. 전자의 경우, 물과 에탄올의 부분 증기압력의 합이 순수한 에탄올의 증기압력보다 작고, 물의 증기압력보다 커진다는 과학적인 설명에 비해 ‘끓을 때 에탄올 분자가 물 분자와의 인력이나 진로 방해 등을 통해 순수한 끓는점보다 높아진다’고 생각하는 설명이 많았다. 후자의 경우, 에탄올이 먼저 끓는데, 끓는점은 물질의 고유성질이므로 혼합물이 되어도 변하지 않는다고 생각하였다. 액체 혼합물의 가열 시 온도변화에 대해서는 끓기 시작하면서 온도가 증가하다가 일정한 온도가 된다고 생각하는 응답자가 69.2%이었으나 이들은 에탄올이 끓으면서 기화되어, 액체상에 물의 비율이 높아지기 때문에 점점 끓는점이 증가하게 된다는 설명을 하거나, 에탄올은 상태 변화하지만 액체로 남아있는 물이 열에너지를 흡수하기 때문에 혼합액체의 온도가 증가한다는 설명을 제시하였다. 상당수의 예비교사는 두 개의 일정한 온도 구간이 나타난다는 응답을 하였는데 이들은 액체 혼합물의 각 성분이 자신의 고유한 끓는점에서 상태변화를 한다고 생각하고 있었다. 또한, 액체 혼합물의 증발과 끓음 상황에서 기체상에서의 입자 모형을 분석한 결과, 증발 상황에서는 대부분의 예비교사가 기체상에 물과 에탄올이 동시에 존재하는 모형을 그렸으나, 끓음 상황에서는 기체상에 에탄올만 존재하는 모형을 그리는 비율이 증가하였다. 결과를 바탕으로 예비교사들이 혼합액체의 끓음에 대해 가지고 있는 대체적 개념과 이들의 인식 개선을 위한 시사점을 논의하였다.

The BNCT(Boron Neutron Capture Therapy) facility has been developed in Hanaro(High-flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor), a research reactor of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. A typical tangenial beam port is utilized with this BNCT facility. Thermal neutrons can be penetrated within the limits of the possible maximum instead of being filtered fast neutrons and gamma rays as much as possible using the silicon and bismuth single crystals. In addition to, the liquid nitrogen (LN$_2$) is used to cool down the silicon and bismuth single crystals for the increase of the penetrated thermal neutron flux. Neutron beams for BNCT are shielded using the water shutter. The water shutter was designed and manufactured not to interfere with any other subsystem of Hanaro when the BNCT facility is operated. Also, it is replaced with conventional beam port plug in order to cut off helium gas leakage in the beam port. A circular collimator, composed of $\^$6/Li$_2$CO$_3$ and polyethylene compounds, is installed at the irradiation position. The measured neutron flux with 24 MW reactor power using the Au-198 activation analysis method is 8.3${\times}$10$\^$8/ n/cm$^2$ s at the collimator, exit point of neutron beams. Flatness of neutron beams is proven to ${\pm}$ 6.8% at 97 mm collimator. According to the result of acceptance tests of the water shutter, the filling time of water is about 190 seconds and drainage time of it is about 270 seconds. The radiation leakages in the irradiation room are analyzed to near the background level for neutron and 12 mSv/hr in the maximum for gamma by using BF$_3$ proportional counter and GM counter respectively. Therefore, it is verified that the neutron beams from BNCT facility in Hanaro will be enough to utilize for the purpose of clinical and pre-clinical experiment.

We tried to extract bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) from the freeze-dried bovine cortical bone (FBCB) for bone graft, which were defatted with chloroform-methanol for 20 days, freeze-dried at $-80^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. Two kg of FBCB were pulverized in a wheel mill to $0.5-2.0mm^3$ cubic in size. The bone particles were demineralized in 0.6N HCI for 10 days at chloroform-methanol$4^{\circ}C$ and defatted with chloroform-methanol for 6 hours at room temperature, which was going to be defatting and demineralized cortical bone (DDM). For extracting BMP, DDM was agitated continuously through 72 hours with magnetic stirrer at $4^{\circ}C$ into 12 times of volume of 6 M guanidine hydrochloride (Gdn-HCl) solution containing proteinase inhibitors to protect BMP such as 2mM N-ethylaleimide, 1mM iodoacetic acid, 1mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and a sterilizer, 1mM sodium azide. The extraction procedure was repeated for three times. All extracted solution was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 30 min and then, the supernatant was dialyzed with 12 times of volume of deionized water at $4^{\circ}C$ for 24-72 hours, which cut off below 6,000-8,000 molecular weight. The dialyzed specimen contained crude-BMP was centrifuged, freeze-dried, and weighted. Through these processing, we could obtained $84.9\%$ as FBCB, $17.8\%$ as DDM and $0.71\%$ as crude-BMP from the wet cortical bone without cancellous bone, marrow and muscles. The crude-BMP were obtained $68.3\%$ from the first extraction, $29.6\%$ from secondary and $2.1\%$ from tertiary, respectively. It was suggested that high yield of crude-BMP migth be explained by three-time repetition of the extraction processing for crude-BMP with Gdn-Hcl sol.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of self-reported cigarette smoking status and investigate factors associated with the accuracy self-reported and measured urinary cotinine in Korean adults. Methods: We used data from the $1^{st}$ Korean National Environmental Health Survey (2009-2011) among adults aged ${\geq}19$ years (N=6,246). The survey examined self-reported smoking status, and urinary cotinine was regarded as the biomarker of exposure to tobacco smoke. Urinary cotinine was analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version 20.0, which uses the sample weight and calculates variance estimates to adjust for the unequal probability of selection into the survey. Results: We calculated a cut-off point (53.3 ug/L) by using a ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve. The smoking prevalence was 24.6% based on self-reported data and 28.2% based on urinary cotinine concentrations. When we assessed the agreement between self-reported and urinary cotinine, we found an average agreement of 97.7% among self-reported smokers and 94.5% among self-reported non-smokers. Among self-reported smokers, factors affected the discrepancy were age, household economic status and average number of cigarettes smoked per day. On the other hand, gender, former smoking experience, and exposure to SHS (second hand smoke) were associated with discrepancies among self-reported non-smokers. Conclusion: These results suggest that self-reported data on smoking status provide a valid estimate of actual smoking status. In future research, we will conduct a continuous monitoring study for reliability verification of the data to reduce potential interpretation errors.

Silicon microwire array is one of the promising platforms as a means for developing highly efficient solar cells thanks to the enhanced light trapping efficiency. Among the various fabrication methods of microstructures, deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) process has been extensively used in fabrication of high aspect ratio microwire arrays. In this presentation, we show precisely controlled Si microwire arrays by tuning the DRIE process conditions. A periodic microdisk arrays were patterned on 4-inch Si wafer (p-type, $1{\sim}10{\Omega}cm$) using photolithography. After developing the pattern, 150-nm-thick Al was deposited and lifted-off to leave Al microdisk arrays on the starting Si wafer. Periodic Al microdisk arrays (diameter of $2{\mu}m$ and periodic distance of $2{\mu}m$) were used as an etch mask. A DRIE process (Tegal 200) is used for anisotropic deep silicon etching at room temperature. During the process, $SF_6$ and $C_4F_8$ gases were used for the etching and surface passivation, respectively. The length and shape of microwire arrays were controlled by etching time and $SF_6/C_4F_8$ ratio. By adjusting $SF_6/C_4F_8$ gas ratio, the shape of Si microwire can be controlled, resulting in the formation of tapered or vertical microwires. After DRIE process, the residual polymer and etching damage on the surface of the microwires were removed using piranha solution ($H_2SO_4:H_2O_2=4:1$) followed by thermal oxidation ($900^{\circ}C$, 40 min). The oxide layer formed through the thermal oxidation was etched by diluted hydrofluoric acid (1 wt% HF). The surface morphology of a Si microwire arrays was characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, Hitachi S-4800). Optical reflection measurements were performed over 300~1100 nm wavelengths using a UV-Vis/NIR spectrophotometer (Cary 5000, Agilent) in which a 60 mm integrating sphere (Labsphere) is equipped to account for total light (diffuse and specular) reflected from the samples. The total reflection by the microwire arrays sample was reduced from 20 % to 10 % of the incident light over the visible region when the length of the microwire was increased from $10{\mu}m$ to $30{\mu}m$.

Purpose: If the survival of patients suffering from severe blunt trauma is to be improved, appropriate interventions should be taken immediately. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical utility of end-tidal carbon dioxide ($ETCO_2$) as a surrogate marker for predicting both the need for intervention and the prognosis. Methods: This is a prospective observational study. Nasal cannula was applied to measure $ETCO_2$, and the following parameters, which are known to be related to the prognosis for a patient, were recorded: injury severity score (ISS), revised trauma score (RTS), arterial blood gas (ABG), lactate, and hemoglobin (Hb). To evaluate the outcome, we investigated the details of emergent interventions and expired patients. Results: A total of 93 patients were enrolled in this study. Emergent intervention was significantly associated with systolic blood pressure (sBP, p-value=0.001), $ETCO_2$ (p-value<0.001), serum lactate level (p-value<0.001), pH (p-value< 0.003), $HCO_3$ (p-value=0.004), base excess (p-value<0.002), ISS (p-value<0.001) and RTS (p-value=0.005). In the multivariate logistic regression, only $ETCO_2$ (odds ratio (OR): 0.897, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.792-0.975, p-value= 0.048) and ISS (OR: 1.132, 95% CI: 1.053-1.233, p-value=0.002) were associated with emergent intervention whereas $ETCO_2$ (p-value=0.973) and ISS (p-value=0.511) were not statistically significant in predicting the survival of patients in the univariate analysis. An optimal ETCO cut-off of 29 mmHg on the ROC curve was determined, with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) being 0.824 (0.732-0.917)]. Conclusion: This study has revealed that $ETCO_2$, which can be rapid and easily measured through a nasal cannula, and the ISS may be prognostic indicators of emergent interventions in Emergency Departments.

Processing a large area substrate for liquid crystal display (LCD) or solar panel applications in a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) reactor is becoming increasingly challenging because of the size of the substrate size is no longer negligible compared to the wavelength of the applied radio frequency (RF) power. The situation is even worse when the driving frequency is increased to the Very High Frequency (VHF) range. When the substrate size is still smaller than 1/8 of the wavelength, one can obtain reasonably uniform process results by utilizing with methods such as tailoring the precursor gas distribution by adjustingthrough shower head hole distribution or hole size modification, locally adjusting the distance between the substrate and the electrode, and shaping shower head holes to modulate the hollow cathode effect modifying theand plasma density distribution by shaping shower head holes to adjust the follow cathode effect. At higher frequencies, such as 40 MHz for Gen 8.5 (2.2 m${\times}$2.6 m substrate), these methods are not effective, because the substrate is large enough that first node of the standing wave appears within the substrate. In such a case, the plasma discharge cannot be sustained at the node and results in an extremely non-uniform process. At Applied Materials, we have studied several methods of modifying the standing wave pattern to adjusting improve process non-uniformity for a Gen 8.5 size CCP reactor operating in the VHF range. First, we used magnetic materials (ferrite) to modify wave propagation. We placed ferrite blocks along two opposing edges of the powered electrode. This changes the boundary condition for electro-magnetic waves, and as a result, the standing wave pattern is significantly stretched towards the ferrite lined edges. In conjunction with a phase modulation technique, we have seen improvement in process uniformity. Another method involves feeding 40 MHz from four feed points near the four corners of the electrode. The phase between each feed points are dynamically adjusted to modify the resulting interference pattern, which in turn modulate the plasma distribution in time and affect the process uniformity. We achieved process uniformity of <20% with this method. A third method involves using two frequencies. In this case 40 MHz is used in a supplementary manner to improve the performance of 13 MHz process. Even at 13 MHz, the RF electric field falls off around the corners and edges on a Gen 8.5 substrate. Although, the conventional methods mentioned above improve the uniformity, they have limitations, and they cannot compensate especially as the applied power is increased, which causes the wavelength becomes shorter. 40 MHz is used to overcome such limitations. 13 MHz is applied at the center, and 40 MHz at the four corners. By modulating the interference between the signals from the four feed points, we found that 40 MHz power is preferentially channeled towards the edges and corners. We will discuss an innovative method of controlling 40 MHz to achieve this effect.
