탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotubes; CNTs)는 우수한 물성으로 인하여 전자소자, 에너지 저장매체, 투명전도막, 복합재료 등 매우 다양한 분야에 응용이 가능할 것으로 예측되고 있으며, 더욱이 이러한 특성은 구조변형, 화학적 도핑뿐만 아니라 표면처리를 통해서 제어가 가능하다고 알려져 있다. 이를 위해 기존에는 열처리를 통하여 CNTs를 표면처리한 결과들이 보고되었으나, 고온에서 장시간의 공정이 요구되는 열처리 공정의 단점을 보완하기 위하여 플라즈마 처리를 통해 상온에서 단시간의 공정으로 CNTs를 표면처리하는 방법이 제시되었다. 특히 최근에는, 향후 산업적 응용을 목적으로 종래의 진공 환경에서 벗어나 대기압 연속공정 개발을 위한 대기압 플라즈마 기반의 표면처리 공정에 대하여 관심이 집중되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 대기압에서 플라즈마를 안정적으로 방전 및 유지 할 수 있는 플라즈마 토치 시스템을 구축하였고, 이를 이용하여 수직배향 CNTs를 표면 처리함으로써 그 영향을 살펴보았다. CNTs는 $SiO_2$ 웨이퍼 위에 증착한 철 촉매를 이용하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 수직배향 합성하였으며, 원료가스로는 아세틸렌을 사용하였다. 대기압 플라즈마 장치의 경우 고전압 교류 전원장치를 이용하여 토치타입으로 제작하였다. 플라즈마는 아르곤과 질소가스를 시용하여 방전하고, 기판과의 거리 및 처리시간을 변수로 CNTs를 표면처리하였다. 플라즈마 처리 전후 접촉각 측정을 통하여 소수성이었던 CNTs 표면이 친수성으로 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 Raman 분석을 통하여 대기압 플라즈마의 처리조건에 따른 CNTs 의 구조적 결함 발생 정도를 정량화 시킬 수 있었다. 이를 통하여 대기압 플라즈마를 이용할 경우, CNTs의 구조적 손상을 최소화 하면서 효율적으로 표면특성을 변화시킬 수 있는 처리조건을 도출하였다.

In this study, elastoplastic finite element analysis with multi-body treatment was used to elucidate the mechanical phenomena occurring from pre-stressing of die-system. A finite element analysis model with detailed conditions is proposed. The effects of die pre-stressing slope on the circumferential components of the pre-stressed die inserts were evaluated. The role of tight fitting between the supporter and die case was also emphasized because it has a significant effect on the undesirable change in the target slope of machined inner surface of the die case around the die insert. The two mechanical problems include the one between die-insert and die case and the other between supporter and die case, and their correlation is minimized to establish the optimum design in the die structural design stage because it cannot be quantitatively controlled owing to various factors affecting the die structural behavior during die pre-stressing.

The polyimide(PI) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) ultra thin films were prepared by imidizing the PAAS LB films of PMDA and benzidine system with a thermal treatment at $250^{\circ}C$ for 30min, where the PAAS LB films were formed on substrates by using LB technique. The thicknesses of one layer of PAAS and PI LB film that deposited at the surface pressure of 27mN/m were 20.9 and 4A, respectively. At low electric field, ohmic conduction($I^{\propto}$ V) was observed and the calculated electrical conductivity was about $4.23{\times}10^{-15}{\sim}9.81{\times}10^{-15}S/cm$. The dielectric constant of LB film was about 7.0.

This paper deals with the modal analysis of rotational shell structures by means of the numerical solution technique known as the Generalized Differential Quadrature (G. D. Q.) method. The treatment is conducted within the Reissner first order shear deformation theory (F. S. D. T.) for linearly elastic isotropic shells. Starting from a non-linear formulation, the compatibility equations via Principle of Virtual Works are obtained, for the general shell structure, given the internal equilibrium equations in terms of stress resultants and couples. These equations are subsequently linearized and specialized for the rotational geometry, expanding all problem variables in a partial Fourier series, with respect to the longitudinal coordinate. The procedure leads to the fundamental system of dynamic equilibrium equations in terms of the reference surface kinematic harmonic components. Finally, a one-dimensional problem, by means of a set of five ordinary differential equations, in which the only spatial coordinate appearing is the one along meridians, is obtained. This can be conveniently solved using an appropriate G. D. Q. method in meridional direction, yielding accurate results with an extremely low computational cost and not using the so-called "delta-point" technique.

The phenomena of oil whip in steam turbines take place for the unbalance force between a rotor shaft and bearing oil film. The several parameters that affect onset of oil whip have been well known. However, the major parameter of oil whip is shaft mis-alinement. A oil whip causes the high vibration and the shutdown of rotor system. We mostly stop the steam turbine to adjust a shaft re-alinement concerning oil whip. In this case, it needs many costs for maintenance and long shutdown times. In this study, we study and observe the oil whip of the 300MW steam turbine in many years and we conduct the field test for another steam turbine for reducing vibration from oil whip. The results of this study are that a oil whip takes place with a particular rotating speed or a particular turbine output and the oil temperature change is a very effective method for on-line oil whip treatment.

In this study, lignin, a lignocellulosic biomass, was chemically modified to produce polyethyleneimine-grafted lignin (PKL) with maximum hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] adsorption capacity. Changes in the physicochemical properties due to the cationization of lignin were confirmed through elemental analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and moisture stability evaluation. Alginate (Alg) beads containing PKL (Alg/PKL) were prepared by incorporating cationic lignin into the Alg matrix to apply the prepared PKL in a batch-type water treatment process. The optimal Alg/lignin mixing ratio was selected to increase the Cr(VI) adsorption capacity and minimize lignin elution from the aqueous system. The selected Alg/PKL beads exhibited an excellent Cr(VI) removal capacity of 478.98 mg/g. Isothermal adsorption and thermodynamic analysis revealed that the Cr(VI) removal behavior of the Alg/PKL beads was similar to that of heterogeneous chemical adsorption. In addition, the bulk adsorbent material in the form of beads exhibited adsorption behavior in three stages: surface adsorption, diffusion, and equilibrium.

This study aimed to elucidate causes of corrosion of heat transport pipes and air vents installed under a manhole of heat transport facilities and suggest effective anticorrosive measures by applying paints or adhesive tapes. It was found that air vent corrosion was attributed to corrosion under insulation caused by the inflow of water and the enrichment of chloride ions. The infiltrated water caused a hydrolysis of polyurethane foam (PUF) insulation by concentrating chloride ions at the interface between a pipe and the PUF. As insulator deteriorated, more chloride ions were eluted as confirmed by ion chromatograph (IC) analysis. As an effective method to prevent air vent corrosion, different types of paints and adhesive tapes with higher corrosion resistance on chloride ions were applied and environmental resistance tests were performed with those samples. Based on environmental test results of samples exposed to 10% HCl solution, it was revealed that a wax tape was the most adequate from a viewpoint of stability at operating condition, environmental resistance, surface treatment, and field applicability.

Rapid diagnosis of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is essential for guiding clinical treatment and preventing the spread of MRSA infections. Herein, we present a simple and rapid MRSA screening test based on the aggregation effect of mannose-binding lectin (MBL)-conjugated gold nanoparticles (AuNP), called the MRSA probe. Recombinant MBL protein is a member of the lectin family and part of the innate immune system. It can recognize wall teichoic acid (WTA) on the membrane of MRSA more specifically than that of methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) under optimized salt conditions. Thus, the MRSA probe can selectively bind to MRSA, and the aggregation of the probes on the surface of the target bacteria can be detected and analyzed by the naked eye within 5 min. To demonstrate the suitability of the method for real-world application, we tested 40 clinical S. aureus isolates (including 20 MRSA specimens) and recorded a sensitivity of 100%. In conclusion, the MRSA probe-based screening test with its excellent sensitivity has the potential for successful application in the microbiology laboratory.

Many mouse models of rheumatoid arthritis have been identified, but only a limited number are present for axial spondyloarthritis (AxSpA). Collagen Ab-induced arthritis (CAIA) is one of the most widely used mouse models of arthritis, and it is complement-dependent. We found that mice developing CAIA also developed spinal lesions similar to those found in AxSpA. To induce CAIA, mice were injected intraperitoneally at day 0 with anti-collagen Abs, followed by LPS injection at day 3. CAIA mice demonstrated a significant kyphosis through the spine, as well as hypertrophic cartilage and osseous damage of the intravertebral joints. Immunohistochemical staining of the kyphotic area revealed increased complement C3 deposition and macrophage infiltration, with localization to the intravertebral joint margins. Near Infrared (NIR) in vivo imaging showed that anti-collagen Abs conjugated with IRDye^® 800CW not only localized to cartilage surface in the joints but also to the spine in arthritic mice. We report here a novel preclinical mouse model in which, associated with the induction of CAIA, mice also exhibited salient features of AxSpA; this new experimental model of AxSpA may allow investigators to shed light on the local causal mechanisms of AxSpA bone and soft tissue changes as well as treatment.

최근 토모테라피의 빗면 조사 빔(tangential beam)을 이용하여 전자 빔과 광자 빔의 인접 조사 없이도 치료에 필요한 선량을 균일하게 전달할 수 있다는 결과가 보고되면서, 토모테라피를 이용한 피부암 치료가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 토모테라피 치료 빔은 선형가속기 빔과는 다른 물리적인 특성을 갖고 있으며, 여러 가지 동적 요소들이 결합되어 빔을 조사하므로 기존에 사용하고 있는 팬톰 이외의 독립적인 도구를 사용하여 피부 선량을 검증할 필요가 있다. 피부 선량 검증을 위하여 영상 기반 치료용 팬톰에 선량 측정 기능을 추가한 새로운 팬톰을 개발하였으며, 열형광선량계(LiF, TLD-100)와 GafChromic EBT필름을 팬톰에 삽입하여 전달된 피부 선량을 측정하였다. 팬톰의 반지름 방향으로 피부 영역을 포함하여 깊이 35 mm 영역까지 균일한 선량을 전달했을 때, 필름으로 측정한 특정 점에서의 선량은 계산 선량에 대하여 평균 약 2% 정도 낮게 나타났으며 처방 선량보다 최대 ${\pm}14%$까지 더 높거나 낮은 선량이 전달된 영역이 나타나는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 치료 계획 시스템의 계산 결과와 비교하였을 때, 조사 영역에서 측정한 선량 분포의 균일성이 감소하였으며 팬톰 내에 삽입한 테플론에 의한 선량 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 토모테라피의 치료 빔을 이용하여 피부암과 같이 굴곡이 있는 낮은 깊이에 위치한 표적에 선량을 전달하는 경우, 연속적으로 회전하며 조사되는 빗면 조사 빔의 특성과 치료 계획 시스템의 선량 계산 방식에 따라서 피부 선량의 오차가 허용 범위보다 더 크게 나타날 수 있으므로 치료전 측정을 통한 피부 선량 검증이 필요하다.
