  • PZT thick films were fabricated on alumina substrates by a screen printing method. They were sintered at $750^{\circ}C{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$ for 1 h under air or Pb atmosphere. Pyrochlore was observed as a second phase in PZT thick films sintered in air at temperatures of $950^{\circ}C$ and higher. PZT thick films sintered under Pb atmosphere showed denser microstructure, higher dielectric constant, and better-developed P-E hysteresis curve than the films sintered in air. PZT thick films sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ under Pb atmosphere showed the typical ferroelectric hysteresis with remanent polarization of $29.8{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field of 48.4 kV/cm.

  • A simple HPLC method using UV detection was developed and validated for the determination of levodropropizine (LDP) In dog plasma. The sample was prepared for injection using a liquid-liquid extraction method with 1-phenypiperazine as the internal standard. The mobile phase was methanol - diethylamine solution (0.05 M) (20:80, v/v, pH adjusted to 3.0 with $H_3PO_4$) with a detection wavelength of 240 nm. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) of LDP in a biological matrix was determined to be 25.25 ng/mL. The calibration curve was linear across the concentration range of 25.25 to 2020 ng/mL. The intra-day and inter-day precision values (CV%) were within 7% and accuracy (R.E. %) was within 6% of the nominal values for medium (252.5 ng/mL) and high (2020 ng/mL) LDP concentrations. For the LDP concentration at the LOQ, the intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were within 20% and 10%, respectively. The average absolute recovery for LDP was 70.28%. This method was successfully used to analyze plasma samples in a steady-state bioavailability study of a newly developed sustained-release LDP tablets (SR) using immediate-release tablets (IR) as the reference. The relative bioavailability of the SR was determined to be $106.3\;{\pm}\;12.8%$ (n=6). The $C_{max}$ of the SR was significantly lower (p<0.05), and the $t_{max}$ was significantly longer than that of the IR (p<0.05). The results of ANOVA and two one-sided tests indicated that the SR exhibited acceptable sustained release properties and was bioequivalent to the IR.

  • Determining plant moisture characteristics is an essential study not only for cultivation, but also for ex-situ conservation. In this study, employing pressure-volume curve we examined moisture characteristics of Rhododendron micranthum, known as rare plant, with the aim of its ex-situ conservation. Several individuals growing in Mt. Worak, Youngwol-gun Yeonha-ri and Bongwa-gun Seokpo-ri were selected for this study, from which we collected leaves. The original bulk osmotic pressure at maximum turgor(${{\Psi}_o}^{sat}$)was -1.5 MPa in those of Mt. Worak and Seokpo-ri, which is somewhat lower than that of Yeonha-ri(-1.2 MPa). It appeared that the osmotic pressure at incipient plasmolysis(${{\Psi}_o}^{tlp}$) of leaves collected in both Mt. Worak and Seokpo-ri were -1.29 MPa, and -1.26 MPa, respectively, which are lower than that of Yeonha-ri(-1.02MPa). Maximum bulk modulus of elasticity($E_{max}$) was 14.0 MPa, 8.67 MPa in leaves collected from both Seokpo-ri and Mt. Worak, respectively, those value of which were approximately 3 times higher than that of Yeonha-ri(4.00 MPa). The values of $RWC_{tlp}$(Relative water content at incipient plasmolysis) of leaves collected in three areas, were roughly 83%, suggesting that Rhododendron micranthum has relatively high capability of containing water. Our finding on moisture characteristics of Rhododendron micranthum is similar to those of other Rhododendron spp. We suggest that individuals growing in both Worak and Seokpo-ri, are preferable to those in Yeonha-ri for ex-situ transplantation since those individuals are found to have better drought resistance.

  • Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) is recognized as a promising material in future civil engineering projects due to its outstanding mechanical and durability properties. However, the lack of local UHPC materials and official standards, especially for prestressed UHPC structures, has limited the application of UHPC. In this research, a large-scale prestressed bridge girder composed of nonproprietary UHPC is produced and investigated. This work has two objectives to develop the mixing procedure required to create UHPC in large batches and to study the flexural behavior of the prestressed girder. The results demonstrate that a sizeable batch of UHPC can be produced by using a conventional concrete mixing system at any precast factory. In addition, incorporating local aggregates and using conventional mixing systems enables regional widespread use. The flexural behavior of a girder made by this UHPC is investigated including flexural strength, cracking pattern and development, load-deflection curve, and strain and neutral axis behaviors through a comprehensive bending test. The experimental data is similar to the theoretical results from analytical methods based on several standards and recommendations of UHPC design.

  • This paper describes the simple fabrication of an electrode modified with electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) for the simultaneous electrocatalytic detection of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA), and uric acid (UA). ERGO was formed on a glassy carbon (GC) electrode by the reduction of graphene oxide (GO) using linear sweep voltammetry. The ERGO/GC electrode was formed by subjecting a GO solution ($1mg\;mL^{-1}$ in 0.25 M NaCl) to a linear scan from 0 V to -1.4 V at a scan rate of $20mVs^{-1}$. The ERGO/GC electrode was characterized by Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. The electrochemical performance of the ERGO/GC electrode with respect to the detection of DA, AA, and UA in 0.1 M PBS (pH 7.4) was investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and amperometry. The ERGO/GC electrode exhibited three well-separated voltammetric peaks and increased oxidation currents during the DPV measurements, thus allowing for the simultaneous and individual detection of DA, AA, and UA. The detection limits for DA, AA, and UA were found to be 0.46, 77, and $0.31{\mu}M$ respectively, using the amperometric i-t curve technique, with the S/N ratio being 3.

  • Prazosin hydrochloride is an antihypertensive drug with selective ${\alpha}_1$-adrenoreceptor blocking effects. A simple high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of prazosin in human plasma. A reversed-phase C18 column was used for the separation of prazosin and terazosin (internal standard) with a mobile phase composed of water, acetonitrile and triethylamine(75:25:0.1, V/V;pH5.0) at a flow rate of 1.5 ml/min. the fluorescence detector was set at excitation and emissionwavelengths of 250 and 370 nm, respectively. Intra-and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification of 0.5 ng/ml. Good recovery (>80%) was seen in plasma. Prazosin was stable in human plasma under various storage conditions. This method was used successfully for a pharmacokinetic study in plasma after oral administration of a single 2-mg dose as prazosin base to 16 healthy volunteers. The maximum plasma concentration of prazosin was 23.1 ${\pm}$ 16.5 ng/ml at 2.1 h, and the mean area under the curve and elimination half-life were calculated to be 108.4 ${\pm}$ 74.2 ng ${\cdot}$hr/ml and 2.5 ${\pm}$ 0.6 h, respectively.

  • We attempted to fabricate carbon nanotube field effect transistor (CNT-FET) using single walled carbon nanotube(SWNT) on the heavily doped Si substrate used as a bottom gate, source and drain electrode were fabricated bye-beam lithography on the 500 nm thick $SiO_2$ gate dielectric layer. We investigated electrical and physical properties of this CNT-FET using Scanning Probe Microscope(SPM) and conventional method based on tungsten probe tip technique. The gate length of CNT-FET was 600 nm and the diameter of identified SWNT was about 4 nm. We could observed gating effect and typical p-MOS property from the obtained $V_G-I_{DS}$ curve. The threshold voltage of CNT-FET is about -4.6V and transconductance is 47 nS. In the physical aspect, we could identified SWNT with phase mode of SPM which detecting phase shift by force gradient between cantilever tip and sample surface.

  • 공기통풍 건조시 공기흐름(airflow)에 대한 곡물저항(grain resistance)은 송풍시스템에서 fan의 선정시 매우 중요하다. 지금까지는 공기흐름에 대한 곡물저항은 주로 Shedd의 curve에 준하여 정해졌다. 그러나 실제의 경우 곡물수확 또는 건조시 기계적 원인에 의하여 미세립자(fine material)가 생성된다. 이에 본 연구에서 밀(red hard winter wheat)을 대상으로 송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량이 정압강하(static pressure drop)에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 이러한 변수가 포함된 수학적 모델을 개발하였다. 독립변수는 0.051로부터 $0.203m^3/m^2.sec$에 이르는 7단계의 각각 다른 송풍량과 3단계의 함수율 (11, 13, 15%w.b), 4단계의 미세립자량(0, 2, 4, 8%)이고, 종속변수는 정압강하이다. 정압강하와 test bed에서의 송풍량은 micromanometer를 사용하여 측정하였다. 결과는 독립변수(송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량)는 모두 정압강하에 significant하게 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 규정된 범위내에서 함수율이 증가함에 따라 정압강하는 최고 45% 까지 감소되었고, 반면 미세립자량이 증가함에 따라 정압강하는 최고 195%까지 증가되었다. 수집된 data로서 다음과 같은 regression equation이 개발되었다($P=AV+BV^2+C(MO)V+D(FM)V$). 본 연구의 결과는 공기송풍시스팀에서 송풍량, 함수율, 미세립자량이 정압강하에 미치는 영향을 규명하였고, 에너지 절약적 송풍시스템을 설계하는 데 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다.

  • It is the aim of this study to investigate the influence of the factors in the sprayer nozzle for the travelling distance and to get nozzle design data in relation to the nozz1e with and without swirl plate. The factors of sprayer nozzle are composed of the spraying pressure, the helical angle of swirl plate, the helical groove depth of swirl plate, the distance of vortex chamber the slope of nozz1e cap, the curvature of nozzle cap and the hole diameter of nozz1e cap. The travelling distance and the size of sprayed particle are experimeted indoors by the factorial arrange-ment according to the 5 each level of the above factors. The results of this stupy are summarized as follows; 1. In the nozzle with swirl p1ate there were remarkable significance among factors each other, while without swirl plate were no significance. 2. The helical angle and groove depth in the nozzle with swirl plate were the highest effective factors. The effect of helical angle was very remarked in the quadratic curve with minium value. 3. The correlation betweenthe travelling distance and the sprayed particle size was no high and under 250 micron in the case with swirl plate, and there was higher correlation in the case without swirl plate. 4. The new ideal development of the swirl plate using of the most effective helical angle and groove depth will probably show the possiblities to make effective travelling distance over 8 meters and more over and to make average particle diameter under 300 micron.
