This paper examines a simple one-step and catalyst-free method for synthesizing carbon nanoparticles from aliphatic alcohols and n-hexane with linear molecule formations by using a stable solution plasma process with a bipolar pulse and an external resistor. When the external resistor is adopted, it is observed that the current spikes are dramatically decreased, which induced production of a more stable discharge. Six aliphatic linear alcohols (methanol-hexanol) containing carbon with oxygen sources are studied as possible precursors for the massive production of carbon nanoparticles. Additional study is also carried out with the use of n-hexane containing many carbons without an oxygen source in order to enhance the formation of carbon nanoparticles and to eliminate unwanted oxygen effects. The obtained carbon nanoparticles are characterized with field emission-scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The results show that with increasing carbon ratios in alcohol content, the synthesis rate of carbon nanoparticles is increased, whereas the size of the carbon nanoparticles is decreased. Moreover, the degree of graphitization of the carbon nanoparticles synthesized from 1-hexanol and n-hexane with a high carbon (C)/oxygen (O) ratio and low or no oxygen is observed to be greater than that of the carbon nanoparticles synthesized from the corresponding materials with a low C/O ratio.

Purpose: Isolated capitellar fractures are rare, intra-articular fractures requiring an aggressive management regimen. Review the outcome after open reduction and internal fixation of the capitellar fractures. Materials and Methods: From 1998 to 2004, 4 patients with displaced fractures of the humeral capitellum were treated by open reduction and internal fixation of the capitellar fragments with cannulated screws. By use of the criteria of Bryan and Morrey et al, there were 3 type I fractures, 1 type III fracture. A lateral approach was used. The elbows were immobilized postoperatively for 4 to 28 days We evaluated the range of motion, stability, and pain using the criteria of Mayo score. Results: The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 36 months (mean, 15months). Three patients had a stable, pain-free elbow with good range of motion at follow-up. One patient with a neglected capitellar fracture have felxtion cpontracture of 40 degrees with 100 degrees of further felxion(total arc: 60) due to poor compliance to the postoperative rehabilitation. All fractures healed, and there was no evidence of avascular necrosis or degenerative change. Conclusion: Capitellar fractures, rare in case, gave a good result after open reduction and simple internal fixation with cannulated screws without any problem.

In a situation where worldwide free trade between countries has expanded recently, our country is being rapidly pushed FTA agreements with the financial developed countries such as United States, EU. According to the agreement, the user information of foreign financial companies in Korea is expected to be transfered overseas. In this paper, we need to define the scope and the definition about the transfer of information and analyze the relating domestic and foreign laws preparing for Cross Border Financial Information Transfer. Also, we review the expected issues about the transfer of information divided into institutional and technical sectors and arc presented the policy implication such as differentiation of regulatory information, enactment and amendment of Personal Information Protection Law(Draft) and related regulations, ensuring the safety of financial companies, raise the standard guidelines of the transfer of information. We refers to the needs for policy formulation to differentiate our privacy information from financial information to protect the privacy of users. The proposed countermeasures in this paper is expected to be helpful the measures to prepare for other institutions such as banks and supervisory authorities prepare for the future Cross Border Financial Information Transfer according to PTA.
