배 경: 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 호흡곤란은 일반적으로 폐활량에 반비례하나 유사한 폐기능에서도 서로 다른 호흡곤란을 호소한다. 본 연구는 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자에서 우심실박출계수와 호흡곤란의 정도와 연관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 한다. 방 법: 호흡곤란의 정도는 Medical Research Council (MRC) 호흡곤란척도로 분석하였고, MRC 4/5도인 중증군 24명과, MRC 2/3도인 중등증군 16명을 비교 분석하였다. 심전도게이트 일회통과법을 이용한 방사성동위원소 심조영술을 이용하여 우심실 박출계수를 구했으며, 안정시 동맥가스분석 및 폐기능검사를 시행하였다. 결 과: 기저 폐기능에서 잔기량의 예측치 평균이 (%) 중증군에서($210{\pm}87$) 중등증군($160{\pm}27$)에 비해 유의하게 증가되었으나(P < 0.03), 폐활량 및 확산계수 등에서는 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 우심실 박출계수(%)는 중증군에서($25{\pm}8$) 중등증군($35{\pm}6$)에 비해 유의하게 감소되었으나(P < 0.001), 동맥혈가스는 두 군 사이에 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 다중회귀분석을 통해 우심실 박출계수가 독립적으로 호흡곤란에 영향을 미치는 인자로 밝혀졌다. 결 론: 만성폐쇄성폐질환에서 우심실 박출계수가 호흡곤란의 정도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다.

c-BN(cubic boron nitride) is known to have extremely high hardness next to diamond, as well as very high thermal and chemical stability. The c-BN in the form of film is useful for wear resistant coatings where the application of diamond film is restricted. However, there is less practical application because of difficult control of processing variables for synthesis of c-BN film as well as unclear mechanism on formation of c-BN. Therefore, in the present study, the structural characterization of c-BN thin film were investigated using $B_4C$ target in r.f. magnetron sputtering system as a function of processing variables. c-BN films were coated on Si(100) substrate using $B_4C$ (99.5% purity). The mixture of nitrogen and argon was used for carrier gas. The deposition processing conditions were changed with substrate bias voltage, substrate temperature and base pressure. Fourier transform infrared microscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze crystal structures and chemical binding energy of the films. In the case of the BN film deposited at room temperature, c-BN was formed in the substrate bias voltage range of -400 V~ -600 V. Less c-BN fraction was observed as deposition temperature increased and more c-BN fraction was observed as base pressure increased.

We examine how the mass assembly of central galaxies depends on their location in the cosmic web. The HORIZON-AGN simulation is analysed at z~2 using the DISPERSE code to extract multi-scale cosmic filaments. We find that the dependency of galaxy properties on large-scale environment is mostly inherited from the (large-scale) environmental dependency of their host halo mass. When adopting a residual analysis that removes the host halo mass effect, we detect a direct and non-negligible influence of cosmic filaments. Proximity to filaments enhances the build-up of stellar mass, a result in agreement with previous studies. However, our multi-scale analysis also reveals that, at the edge of filaments, star formation is suppressed. In addition, we find clues for compaction of the stellar distribution at close proximity to filaments. We suggest that gas transfer from the outside to the inside of the haloes (where galaxies reside) becomes less efficient closer to filaments, due to high angular momentum supply at the vorticity-rich edge of filaments. This quenching mechanism may partly explain the larger fraction of passive galaxies in filaments, as inferred from observations at lower redshifts.

SiC particles, 8.3 ${\mu}m$ in volume average diameter, were chlorinated in an alumina tubular reactor, 2.4 cm in diameter and 32 cm in length, with reactor temperature varied from 100 to $1200^{\circ}C$. The flow rate of the gas admitted to the reactor was held constant at 300 cc/min, the mole fraction of chlorine in the gas at 0.1 and the reaction time at 4 h. The chlorination was negligibly small up to the temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. Thereafter, the degree of chlorination increased remarkably with increasing temperature until $900^{\circ}C$. As the temperature was increased further from 900 to $1200^{\circ}C$, the increments in chlorination degree were rather small. At $1200^{\circ}C$, the chlorination has nearly been completed. The surface area of the residual carbon varied with chlorination temperature in a manner similar to that with the variation of chlorination degree with temperature. The surface area at $1200^{\circ}C$ was 912 $m^{2}/g$. A simple model was developed to predict the conversion of a SiC under various conditions. A Langmuir-Hinshelwood type rate law with two rate constants was employed in the model. Assuming that the two rate constants, $k_{1}$ and $k_{2}$, can be expressed as $A_{1e}^{-E_{1}/RT}$ and $A_{2e}^{-E_{2}/RT}$, the four parameters, $A_{1}$, $E_{1}$, $A_{2}$, and $E_{2}$ were determined to be 32.0 m/min, 103,071 J/mol, 2.24 $m^{3}/mol$ and 39,526 J/mol, respectively, through regression to best fit experimental data.

사용후핵연료의 건식 재가공을 위한 핵연료 원격 제조공정중 분말제조를 위한 산화 및 OREOX(산화 환원공정)열처리 공정으로부터 $^{85}Kr$ 및 $^{14}C$ 핵분열기체의 방출거동을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 특히 사용후핵연료의 평균 연소도가 $27,000{\sim}65,000\;MWd/tU$ 범위내에서 연소도 변화에 따른 핵분열기체의 방출 분율은 측정한 실험결과와 ORIGEN 코드로부터 계산된 초기 inventory를 상호 비교하여 구하였다. $500^{\circ}C$ 1차 산화공정(voloxidation)에서 $^{85}Kr$ 및 $^{14}C(^{14}CO_2)$의 시간에 따른 방출거동은 $UO_2$ 핵연료의 $U_3O_8$으로의 분말화 정도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 보이며, 입계(grain-boundary)에 분포된 핵분열기체가 대부분 방출되는 것으로 여겨진다. 산화분말을 이용한 OREOX 공정으로부터 핵분열기체의 높은 방출율은 $700^{\circ}C$의 환원공정에서 온도 증가에 의한 기체 확산 및 $UO_2$으로의 환원에 의한 U 원자 이동성 증가에 의존하며 주로 inter-grain 및 intra-grain에 분포된 핵분열기체가 방출된 것으로 판단된다. 일차 산화공정시 $^{85}Kr$ 및 $^{14}C$ 핵분열기체의 방출 분율은 핵 연료 연소도가 증가함에 따라 높게 나타났고 방출 분율 범위는 총 inventory의 $6{\sim}12%$정도며, 산화분말의 OREOX 공정처리시 잔류 핵분열기체 대부분이 방출되는 것으로 보인다. 아울러 사용후핵 연료로부터 핵분열기체의 제거를 위해서는 고온 환원분위기보다는 산화에 의한 분말화가 더 효과적인 것으로 여겨진다.
