Perovskite $Pb(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3[PNN-PZT]$ ceramics were synthesized by conventional ceramic processing technique. In order to modify piezoelectric properties for sensor application in this system, NiO addition was considered to provide $Ni^{+2}$ as an acceptor, which was known to occupy with B site in the structure. The effect of NiO addition up to $8\;mol\%$ on the following piezoelectric properties as well as sintering properties was investigated. When NiO added more than $1\;mol\%$, average grain size was decreased and second phase was found to form. Moreover, the second phase caused decrease in relative dielectric constant $(\varepsilon_{33}T/\varepsilon0)$, electro-mechanical coupling factor $(k_p)$, and piezoelectric charge constant $(d_{33})$, while increasing mechanical quality factor $(Q_m)$. When $1\;mol\%$ NiO was added, density, dielectric properties and piezoelectric properties were abruptly increased.

연구 목적: 본 연구의 목적은 색소체인 크롬염화물을 지르코니아에 첨가함으로써 지르코니아의 색상 및 물리적 성질, 그리고 미세구조가 어떻게 변화하는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 크롬염화물의 함량이 지르코니아 분말에 각각 0.06, 0.12, 0.25 wt%가 되도록 측량하고 알코올에 녹여 액상상태의 크롬염화물을 준비하였다. 지르코니아 분말과 각각의 액상상태의 크롬염화물을 혼합하고 혼합된 분말을 이용하여 디스크형태의 지르코니아 시편을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편은 $1450^{\circ}C$에서 완전소결 후 색상 및 물리적 성질, 그리고 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 색상은 분광측색장치를 이용하여 국제조명위원회 (CIE) ISO 기준인 D65 광원, SCE 방식으로 측정하여 $L^*$, $C^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ 값으로 분석하였다. 밀도는 아르키메데스 법으로 측정하였고, 주사전자현미경과 X선 회절 분석기를 이용하여 시편의 미세구조 및 결정상을 관찰하였다. 파괴인성은 압흔 형성법(Vickers indentation법)을 이용하여 시편에 압흔 형성 후, 광학현미경으로 압흔의 크기를 측정하고 이를 이용하여 파괴인성을 구하였다. 결과는 일원배치분산분석 (one-way ANOVA)으로 통계처리 하였고, Tukey test로 사후 검정하였다. 결과: 1. 크롬염화물을 첨가하여 지르코니아의 색상을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 크롬염화물 첨가 함량이 증가함에 따라 지르코니아 색상은 백색계통의 갈색에서 짙은 색의 갈색으로 변하였다. 2. 크롬염화물의 첨가는 시편의 밀도를 점점 감소시켰으며, 크롬염화물이 첨가되지 않은 시편과 비교 시, 크롬염화물의 첨가량이 증가할수록 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다 (P<.05). 3. 크롬염화물이 첨가된 시편은 첨가되지 않는 시편에 비해 결정립 크기가 증가하였다. 4. X-선 회절 분석결과, 크롬염화물의 첨가 여부와 첨가 함량에 상관없이 지르코니아 결정상의 차이점은 관찰되지 않았다. 5. 지르코니아에 크롬염화물을 첨가 시 크롬염화물의 첨가 함량에 따라 파괴인성값은 감소하였고, 특히 0.25 wt%의 크롬염화물을 첨가 시 가장 낮은 파괴인성 값을 보였다 (P<.05). 결론: 이상의 결과로 크롬염화물을 액체상태로 첨가하여 지르코니아의 색상을 조절할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 제작한 유색 지르코니아의 색상은 자연치아 색상과 다소 차이가 있지만, 본 소재는 임상에서 사용되는 완전도재관 코어 (Core) 재료로써 사용할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Background: The aim of our present study was to compare quality of life (QoL) between intermediate-stage (BCLC-B) HCC patients who had undergone either liver resection or transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE). Materials and Methods: A total of 102 intermediate-stage HCC patients participated in our study, including 58 who had undergone liver resection and 44 who had undergone TACE. Baseline demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, and long-term outcomes, such as tumor recurrence, were compared and analyzed. QoL was assessed using the Short Form (SF)-36 health survey questionnaire with the mental and physical component scales (SF-36 MCS and PCS). This questionnaire was filled out at HCC diagnosis and 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 months after surgery. Results: For the preoperative QoL evaluation, the 8 domains related to QoL were comparable between the two groups. The PCS and MCS scores were significantly decreased in both the TACE and resection groups at1 month after surgery, and this decrease was greater in the resection group. These scores were significantly lower in the resection group compared with the TACE group (P<0.05). However, these differences disappeared at 3 and 6 months following surgery. One year after surgery, the resection group showed much higher PCS scores than the TACE patients (P=0.018), and at 2 years after surgery, the PCS and MCS scores for the resection group were significantly higher than those for the TACE group (P<0.05). Eleven patients (19.0%) in the resection group and 17 (38.6%) in the TACE group suffered HCC recurrence (P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that tumor recurrence (HR=1.211, 95%CI: 1.086-1.415, P=0.012) was a significant risk factor for poorpostoperative QoL in the HCC patients.Conclusions: Due to its effects on reducing HCC recurrence and improving long-term QoL, liver resection should be the first choice for the treatment of patients with intermediate-stage HCC.

The most important industrial application of gamma radiation in characterizing green compacts is the determination of the density. Examples are given where this method is applied in manufacturing technical components in powder metallurgy. The requirements imposed by modern quality management systems and operation by the workforce in industrial production are described. The accuracy of measurement achieved with this method is demonstrated and a comparison is given with other test methods to measure the density. The advantages and limitations of gamma ray densitometry are outlined. The gamma ray densitometer measures the attenuation of gamma radiation penetrating the test parts (Fig. 1). As the capability of compacts to absorb this type of radiation depends on their density, the attenuation of gamma radiation can serve as a measure of the density. The volume of the part being tested is defined by the size of the aperture screeniing out the radiation. It is a channel with the cross section of the aperture whose length is the height of the test part. The intensity of the radiation identified by the detector is the quantity used to determine the material density. Gamma ray densitometry can equally be performed on green compacts as well as on sintered components. Neither special preparation of test parts nor skilled personnel is required to perform the measurement; neither liquids nor other harmful substances are involved. When parts are exhibiting local density variations, which is normally the case in powder compaction, sectional densities can be determined in different parts of the sample without cutting it into pieces. The test is non-destructive, i.e. the parts can still be used after the measurement and do not have to be scrapped. The measurement is controlled by a special PC based software. All results are available for further processing by in-house quality documentation and supervision of measurements. Tool setting for multi-level components can be much improved by using this test method. When a densitometer is installed on the press shop floor, it can be operated by the tool setter himself. Then he can return to the press and immediately implement the corrections. Transfer of sample parts to the lab for density testing can be eliminated and results for the correction of tool settings are more readily available. This helps to reduce the time required for tool setting and clearly improves the productivity of powder presses. The range of materials where this method can be successfully applied covers almost the entire periodic system of the elements. It reaches from the light elements such as graphite via light metals (AI, Mg, Li, Ti) and their alloys, ceramics ($AI_20_3$, SiC, Si_3N_4, $Zr0_2$, ...), magnetic materials (hard and soft ferrites, AlNiCo, Nd-Fe-B, ...), metals including iron and alloy steels, Cu, Ni and Co based alloys to refractory and heavy metals (W, Mo, ...) as well as hardmetals. The gamma radiation required for the measurement is generated by radioactive sources which are produced by nuclear technology. These nuclear materials are safely encapsulated in stainless steel capsules so that no radioactive material can escape from the protective shielding container. The gamma ray densitometer is subject to the strict regulations for the use of radioactive materials. The radiation shield is so effective that there is no elevation of the natural radiation level outside the instrument. Personal dosimetry by the operating personnel is not required. Even in case of malfunction, loss of power and incorrect operation, the escape of gamma radiation from the instrument is positively prevented.
