반도체 검출기는 입사되는 X선 에너지에 의하여 이온화되어 발생하는 전자 전공쌍을 수집함으로 방사선 정보를 확인하는 선량계로써 많은 연구와 활용이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, X선 에너지에 의하여 반도체 검출기에서 발생하는 전기적 신호량이 높지 않기 때문에 누설 전류의 저감이 필수적이다. 누설 전류를 저감시키기 위한 방안으로 반도체 층과 전극 층의 Schottky Contact 구조의 설계, Insulating Layer의 사용, 높은 비저항의 반도체 물질 연구 등이 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 기존에 누설 전류 저감을 위하여 Insulating Layer를 전극층과 반도체 층 사이에 형성하는 연구에 있어서 Insulating Layer와 반도체 층의 계면 사이에서 발생하는 Charge Trapping으로 인하여 생성되는 신호의 Reproducibility 저하, 동영상 적용의 제한 등의 문제점을 겪어왔다. 이에 본 논문에서는 누설 전류를 저감시킴과 동시에 Charge Trapping의 최소화를 이루기 위하여 Insulating Layer의 두께 최적화 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 Insulating Layer는 검출기 표면에 입사하는 X선 정보 손실을 최소화 시키는 동시에 누설 전류와 Charge Trapping을 최소화 시키는 방법으로써 CVD방법으로 검출기 표면에 균일하게 Insulating Layer를 코팅하였다. Insulating 물질은 Parylene을 사용하였으며, 그 중 온도, 습도 등 외부환경에 영향을 적게 받는 type C를 사용하였다. 증착에 사용한 장비의 진공도는 Torr로 설정하여 증착되는 Parylene의 두께가 약 $0.3{\mu}m$가 되게 하였으며, 실험에는 반도체 물질 PbO를 사용하였다. Parylene의 절연 특성은 Dark Current와 Sensitivity를 측정한 SNR을 이용하여 Parylene코팅이 되지 않은 동일 반도체 검출기와의 신호를 비교하였으며 또한 Parylene를 다층 제작한 검출기의 수집 신호량을 비교하였다. 제작한 검출기의 X선 조사 시의 수집 전하량 측정 결과, 100 kVp, 100mA, 0.03s의 X선 조건에서 $1V/{\mu}m$의 기준 시, Parylene를 코팅하지 않은 PbO 검출기의 Dark current는 0.0501 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.6422 nC/mR-cm2, SNR은 12.184이었으며, Parylene단층의 두께인 $0.3{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 Dark current는 0.04097 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.53732 nC/mR-cm2으로 Dark current가 감소되고 sensitivity도 감소하였지만 SNR은 13.1150으로 높아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Perylene이 $0.6{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 경우, Dark Current는 0.04064 nA/cm2, Sensitivity는 0.31473 nC/mR-cm2, SNR은 7.7443으로써 Insulating Layer가 없는 시편보다 SNR이 약 40% 낮아진 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Parylene이 $0.9{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 경우 Dark current는 0.0378 nA/cm2, Sensitivity 0.0461 nC/mR-cm2로 Insulating Layer가 없는 시편에 비해 SNR은 약 1/12배 감소한 1.2196이었고, Parylene이 $1.2{\mu}m$로 증착된 시편의 SNR은 1.1252로서 더 감소하였다. 따라서 Parylene을 다층 코팅한 검출기일수록 절연 효과의 영향이 커짐으로써 SNR 비교 시 수집되는 신호량이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 반도체 검출기의 누설 전류를 저감시킴과 동시에 신호 수집율에 영향을 최소화시키기 위하여 Insulating Layer의 두께를 적절하게 설정하여 적용하면 Insulating Layer가 없는 검출기에 비해 누설전류를 최소한으로 줄일 수 있고 신호 검출효율이 감소하는 것을 방지할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Wogonin (5,7-dihydroxy-8-methoxyflavone) is a down-regulator of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression, contributing to anti-inflammatory activity in vivo. For further characterization of modulatory activity on ploinflammatory gene expression in vivo, the effect of wogonin was examined in this experiment using animal models of skin inflammation. By topical application, wogonin inhibited an edematic response as well as ploinflammatory gene expression against contact dermatitis In mice. Wogonin inhibited ear edema ($19.4-22.6\%$) at doses of $50-200\;{\mu}g$/ear and down-regulated interleukin-$1{\beta}$ induction ($23.1\%$) at $200{\mu}g$/ear in phenol-induced simple irritation. Wogonin ($2{\times}50-2{\times}200{\mu}g$/ear) also inhibited edematic response ($51.2-43.9\%$) and down-regulated ploinflammatory gene expression of cyclooxygenase-2, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interferon-$\gamma$, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and inducible nitric oxide synthase with some different sensitivity against picryl chloride-induced delayed hypersensitivity reaction. All these results clearly demonstrate that wogonin is a down-regulator of ploinflammatory gene expression in animal models of skin inflammation. Therefore, wogonin may have potential for a new anti-inflammatory agent against skin inflammation.

A Contact-type Linear Encoder-like Capacitive Displacement Sensor (CLECDiS) has been developed to measure displacements at high accuracy within a long measurement range. In this paper, we have worked on improving the performance and reliability of the sensor. The performance increase can be done by introducing the smaller electrode patterns of $4{\mu}m$ width. In order to improve the reliability of the sensor we have changed the electrode layers from chrome-gold to chrome-gold-chrome and re-design its supporting structure. The newly-designed sensor is fabricated and tested to show that its sensitivity is $35pF/{\mu}m$, which implies that its resolution may be 0.36nm if SNR (Signal-to-Noise-Ratio) is 80.1dB. It is about ten times of that $(3.14pF/{\mu}m)$ of its previous version with 10${\mu}m$ electrodes. The total measurement range remains the same as the previous one; 15mm. The calibration experiments show its improved performance and reliability.

The present experiment was designed to investigate the effects of behavioral, response to immune function in response to electric footshock in mice. Mice were subjected to electric footshock for 3 days(two sessions a day, 11 times of shock for about 31 minutes a session). The humoral immune response was measured using mice immunized with rat RBC. The cell-mediated immune responses were evaluated by contact hypersensitivity to 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene(DNFB) and by phytohemagglutin(PHA)-stimulated splenocytes proliferation assay. In stressed group, electric footshock suppressed significantly anti-rat RBC antibody production(p<0.05), but enhanced significantly $T_{48}$ relative to $T_{24}$ in contact hypersenstivry (P<.01) and T-cell proliferation response(P<.05) by PHA stimulation elative to control group. T-cell proliferation response by PHA stimulation was significantly correlated to the movement than the sensitivity and coping behavior in the mouse, in response to the electric footshock. These data supper the importance of behavioral response in stress-induced changes of immune functions.

The bond mechanism for reinforcing bars in concrete is equivalent to the normal contact and friction between the inclined ribs and the surrounding concrete. Based on the contact density model for the computation of shear transfer across cracks, an open-slip coupled model was developed for simulating three-dimensional bond behavior for reinforcing bars in concrete. A parameter study was performed and verified by simulating pull-out experiments of extremely different boundary conditions: short bar embedment with a huge concrete cover, extremely long bar embedment with a huge concrete cover, embedded aluminum bar and short bar embedded length with an insufficient concrete cover. The bar strain effect and splitting of the concrete cover on a local bond can be explained by finite element (FE) analysis. The analysis shows that the strain effect results from a large local slip and the splitting effect of a large opening of the interface. Finally, the sensitivity of rebar geometry was also checked by FE analysis and implies that the open-slip coupled model can be extended to the case of plain bar.

The long-term stability of rock engineering is significantly affected by the time-dependent deformation behavior of rock, which is an important mechanical property of rock for engineering design. Although the hard rocks show small creep deformation, it cannot be ignored under high-stress condition during deep excavation. The inner mechanism of creep is complicated, therefore, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between microscopic creep mechanism and the macro creep behavior of rock. Microscopic numerical modeling of sandstone creep was performed in the investigation. A numerical sandstone sample was generated and Parallel Bond contact and Burger's contact model were assigned to the contacts between particles in DEM simulation. Sensitivity analysis of the microscopic creep parameters was conducted to explore how microscopic parameters affect the macroscopic creep deformation. The results show that the microscopic creep parameters have linear correlations with the corresponding macroscopic creep parameters, whereas the friction coefficient shows power function with peak strength and Young's modulus, respectively. Moreover, the microscopic parameters were calibrated. The creep modeling curve is in good agreement with the verification test result. Finally, the creep curves under one-step loading and multi-step loading were compared. This investigation can act as a helpful reference for modeling rock creep behavior from a microscopic mechanism perspective.

Brittle materials are very weak for impact because of typical characteristics which happen to be easily fractured with low fracture toughness and crack sensitivity. When brittle materials are subjected to impact due to small spheres, high contact pressure is occurred to impact surface and then local damage on specimen is developed, since there are little plastic deformations due to contact pressure compared to metals. This local damage is a dangerous factor which gives rise to final fracture of structures. In this research, the crack propagation process of soda lime glass by impact of small sphere is explained and the effects of the constraint conditions of impact spheres and materials for the material damage were studied by using soda-lime glass. that is the effects for the materials and sizes of impact ball, thickness of specimen and residual strength. Especially, this research has focused on the damage behavior of ring crack, cone crack and several kinds of cracks.

This study conducted a survey to find out dermatitis patients' preferred garment performance and their sentiment in spring/summer knitwears. SPSS 12.0 program was used for factor analysis, frequency analysis, T-test, ANOVA, and Duncan test. The result was as follows; First, in garments, patients required 'health hygiene', 'practicality in use care', 'skin contact' and 'easy movement'. Especially, 'skin contact' is an important property to be considered in patients' clothes. Second, in garment sensitivity, patients importantly considered 'modesty', 'feminine', 'boldness', 'decency', 'easy movement', 'youth', and 'simplicity'. Third, patients preferred simple and modest plain knitwear in light color with thin and soft fabric such as plain knit. And especially, dot pattern in knitwears should be avoided. Fourth, the preferred style of patients was that 'appropriately fit with suitable ease.' They also preferred 'front closed,' ; 'boat neckline' and 'V neckline'; 'raglan sleeve' and 'set-in sleeve'. For hem trim, they preferred 'rib'. Male preferred simple and plain style with round collar of 'tubular trim' and 'rib trim', while female preferred sophisticated and characteristic style with setin sleeve.

In this study, the theory and application of phase-shifting shadow moire topography is focused on the non-contact measurement of object surfaces for practical use in the field of production engineering. Shadow moire topography has been studied during last few decades in the area of the optical physics, and now its mathmatical theory has been established. Generally, in case of the classical shadow moire topography, the sensitivity is a few tenths of millimeter in best cases. Here we tried the application of phase-shifting method to the conventional shadow moire topography. But the reference grating and the deformed grating are mutually dependent because it is impossible to obtain uniform phase shifts on the whole Held. Therefore it is difficult to use a phase-shifting method in shadow moire topography. However, it was shown that constant phase-shifting was able to be measured by moving both the grating and light source. Finally we obtained a better result by using this procedure and applied the phase-shifting shadow moire to three dimensional object measurement.
