The objective of this study was to determine if MWF(metalworking fluids) mass sampled on PVC filter lose during flowing airstream and desiccating and to present direction to correct the underestimated MWF mass. Flowing airstream caused MWF sampled on PVC filter to be breakthrough and lost. Loss of MWF on PVC filter increased in proportion to time of flowing airstream. Meanwhile, loss of MWF was observed during desiccating without flowing airstream. Vapor pressure of MWF is so low that it would not normally be thought to evaporate. However, MWF mist sampled on PVC filter has so great a surface area that loss by flowing airstream and evaporation can be appreciable. Loss between fresh and used MWF was also different. Those study results mean that NIOSH method(#0500 method) to take airborne MWF mist with PVC filter is not valid. Media to sample airborne MWF accurately still have not been introduced. It seems to be needed to estimate how much MWF on PVC filter may be lost during sampling. Regression model between sampling time including 1 day desiccating and total loss of MWF was "Total loss(%)=18.4%+0.06 sampling time(p=0.000, r2=49.6%)". This model help correct MWF lost when one measures airborne MWF using NIOSH # 0500 method.

절삭유(Metalworking Fludis, MWF) 노출로 인한 건강상의 장애는 암, 호흡기질환, 피부질환이다. MWF는 20여가지 이상의 화학물질이 혼합된 고분자의 화합물로서 상온에서 쉽게 증발되지 않는다. 이러한 특성으로 공기 중 MWF미스트의 측정과 분석은 PVC필터를 이용한 중량법이 국제적으로 공인되어 이용되고 있다. 그러나 사업장에서 MWF는 사용과정에서 분산되면 표면적이 커지고 증발하기 쉬운 상태로 된다. 본 연구는 실험실에서 MWF미스트 발생장치를 제작하여 MWF미스트가 필터에 채취되고 분석되는 과정에서 손실되는 양과 원인을 정량적으로 분석하였다. 즉 챔버에서 MWF가 채취된 PVC필터를 깨끗한 공기로 일정시간동안(10 ~ 240 분) 접촉하고 건조하여 각각의 과정(공기접촉, 건조기간)에서의 손실을 평가하였다. 공기와의 접촉 10분 후에 손실된 MWF양은 원래양의 12.4% - 21.8%였다. 전과정에서 손실된 양의 53.3%가 공기의 접촉초기에 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. PVC필터에 채취된 MWF의 손실은 건조과정에서 일어난 것을 확인하였다. PVC필터에 채취된 MWF의 손실에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석하기 위한 다중회귀분석에서 MWF의 특성(사용중인 것과 사용하지 않는 것)이 유의한 예측변수였다. 이 연구 결과에 따르면, 국제적으로 공인된 증량법에 의한 공기중 MWF측정은 과소평가되는 것으로 판단된다.

Plastic pipes Wrapped with synthetic filter are recently used for drainage or Collecting of Underground water. But it's use is possible only for small size of diameter less than 300mm, because large size plastic pipes are not readily availabe. For large diameter infiltration gallery, porous concrete pipes are now used, but it's heavy weight brings difficulties in making, moving and setting of the pipes. With it's conventional method of filter setting, fine sands are brought into the pipes to make trouble to lifting pumps and channels Therefore, initial construction cost and maintenance cost become high. To solve-this problem, new method is developed and tested. Small PVC pipes(diameter 14mm) are assembled at the site of construction to newly devised I beam type circls. The size of circular inpiltration gallery is optionally determined by I beam type circle which support small PVC pipes and is made of PVC amterial. This gallery are wrappd with syntheitc filter to prevent sand instruction. In this test, the diameter of 300, 400, 500mm were used. I beam type circles were made with PVC plated with thickness. t=6, 9, 12mm. Water quantity collected through the PVC circulor gallery are measured and the strengths of the gallery. 1. Allowable setting depth of gallery pipe below graund for the case of t=6mm, D=500mm is 2.72m. 2. Collected water quantity depends on soil texture, depth of water grandient of water surface, filter material angle of setting etc. 3. About 126% of water quantity collected from the one gallery pipe measured in two gallery pipes of two parallel installation.

Recently, pilot studies showed an evidence of reduction of airborne hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), on PVC filter during air sampling and storage. However, the information on this in the field was limited. Thus, we studied the reduction behaviors of airborne Cr(VI) on PVC filters during sampling and storage at three field electroplating operations. Regression between sampling time and the reduction (ratio of Cr(VI) to total Cr concentrations) was not statistically significant (p>0.05). However, the reductions in samples collected for 240 ～ 340 minutes were significantly higher than those for 30 - 60 minutes. On the other hand, another experiment showed a good correlation (r=0.96) between sampling time and the reduction without an exceptional value. Storage temperature was not a factor affecting the reduction of Cr(VI) collected on PVC filter. The loss of Cr(VI) samples stored in alkali solution (2% NaOH/3% Na$_2$CO$_3$) was significantly lower than that stored in vial according to NIOSH method (p<0.05). Thus, dipping Cr(VI) samples into alkali solution was a storage method to minimize tile reduction.

Hexavalent chromium may reduce on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) filter during sampling and storage of sample. Recently, new or modified filters for preventing Cr(VI) from the reduction has been introduced. Thus, this study was performed to compare the reduction behaviors of Cr(VI) on several sampling filters and to find the most appropriate filter for airborne Cr(VI) sampling in plating operation. The results were as follows. 1. There were statistically significant differences among PVC, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). glass fiber (GF) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filters in recovery rates of spiked Cr(VI) samples by storage time(p<0.05). There was no significant difference between PVC and PTFE filters(p>0.05). The PVC and PTFE filters showed higher recoveries than GF and PVDF filters(p<0.05). 2. The quartz fiber(QF) filter treated with an alkali solution(2% NaOH/3% Na$_2$CO$_3$, 1% NaOH) showed a significantly higher recovery of Cr(VI) by storage time than other filters(GF and QF filter)(p<0.05). There was no difference in recovery of Cr(VI) between alkali-treated and untreated GF it filters(p>0.05). But the QF filters treated with two alkali solution showed a significantly higher recovery than the untreated QF filter(p<0.05). There was no significant difference in recovery of Cr(VI) between QF filters treated with 1% NaOH and 2% NaOH/3% Na$_2$CO$_3$(p>0.05). In conclusion, treatment of QF fillers with alkali solution was most effective in protecting from the reduction of Cr(VI).

Penicillin sensor was prepared by immobilizing penicillinase (Pcase) on $H^{+}$-selective carboxylated poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC-COOH) membrane or cellulose filter membrane. The immobilization techniques are as follows. Pcase was immobilized with GTH on $H^{+}$-selective PVC-COOH membrane or some amount of BSA was dropped on that membrane. Another method to make immobilization is to mix type I Pcase with GTH and drop on a cellulose filter membrane. According to immobilization techniques, there were some differences in response properties of enzyme electrodes, however, all electrodes responded to Pcase-resistant penicillin derivatives. Pcase immobilized on cellulose filter membrane with $H^{+}$-selective PVC membrane eletrode was more stable and more sensitive to penicillinase-resistant penicillin derivatives than any other immobilization techniques.

심전도 신호의 QRS 영역은 심장의 질환을 판단하는 중요한 자료로 쓰이는데, 여러 종류의 잡음으로 인해 이를 분석하는데 어려움을 준다. 또한 일반인들의 건강상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 하는 헬스케어 시스템에서는 신호의 실시간 처리가 필요하다. 그리고 생체신호의 특성상 개인 간의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 일반적인 ECG 신호의 판단 규칙에 따라 진단을 수행함으로써 성능하락이 나타날 수밖에 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서는 최소한의 연산량으로 QRS를 검출하고 환자의 특성에 맞게 부정맥을 분류할 수 있는 알고리즘의 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 형태연산을 통한 효율적인 QRS 검출과 개인별 정상신호 분류를 위해 해쉬 함수를 적용하여 프로파일링 하였으며, 검출된 QRS 폭과 RR 간격을 이용하여 심실조기수축(PVC)을 분류하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 제안한 방법의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스를 통해 기존 방법과 부정맥 분류 성능을 비교하였다. 성능평가 결과, R파는 평균 99.77%, 정상 신호 분류에 대한 에러율은 0.65%, PVC는 각각 93.29%로 기존 방법에 비해 약 5% 우수하게 나타났다.

Objectives: This study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy and precision of airborne metal analysis using polyvinyl chloride(PVC) membrane filter by pretreatment methods. Methods: A total of 75 spiked PVC samples for Cr, Fe and Mn ranged from 6 ug/sample to 40 ug/sample were used to evaluate recovery rates for three pretreatment methods: acid extraction, hot plate ashing and microwave digestion. For Mn, an additional 75 spiked mixed cellulose ester(MCE) membrane filters were analysed to compare the recovery rates of PVC samples. All samples were analysed with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer(ICP-OES) and manganese samples were additionally analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometer(AAS). Results: The overall mean recovery rates of PVC samples for Cr, Fe and Mn were 90% or higher regardless of pretreatment methods, but there were statistically significant differences in recovery rates for Cr(p<0.05) and Mn(p<0.01) samples by pretreatment methods. The biases and the coefficient variations of PVC samples for three metals pretreated with three kinds of pretreatment methods ranged from 1.7% to 4.7% and from 1.6% to 6.5%, respectively. The manganese PVC samples pretreated by microwave digestion and analyzed with ICP-OES had the lowest bias at 1.9% and also showed lower bias than the bias for MCE samples, 2.7%. Conclusions: In order to accurately analyze the metals sampled with PVC membrane filters, microwave digestion and ICP-OES can be recommended.

Premature ventricular contractions are the most common of all arrhythmias and may cause more serious situation like ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in some patients. Therefore, the detection of this arrhythmia becomes crucial in the early diagnosis and the prevention of possible life threatening cardiac diseases. Most methods for detecting arrhythmia require pp interval, or the diversity of P wave morphology, but they are difficult to detect the p wave signal because of various noise types. Thus, it is necessary to use noise-free R wave. So, the new approach for the detection of PVC is presented based on the rhythm analysis and the beat matching in this paper. For this purpose, we removed baseline wandering of low frequency band and made summed signals that are composed of two high frequency bands including the frequency component of QRS complex using the wavelet filter. And then we designed R wave detection algorithm using the adaptive threshold and window through RR interval. Also, we developed algorithm to classify PVC using RR interval. The performance of R wave and PVC detection is evaluated by using MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate average detection rate of 99.76%, sensitivity of 99.30% and specificity of 98.66%; accuracy respectively for R wave and PVC detection.
