Most of the work reported concerned the semi-solid processing of low melting point alloys, and in particular light alloys of aluminum and magnesium. The purpose of this paper is to develop a semi-solid microstructure of Cu alloys using electromagnetic stirring applicable for squirrel cage rotor of induction motor. The size of primary solid particle and the degree of sphericity as a function of the variation in cooling rate, stirring speed, and holding time were observed. By applying electromagnetic stirring, primary solid particles became finer and rounder relative to as-cast sample. As the input frequency increased from 30 to 40 Hz, particle size decreased. The size of primary solid particle was found to be decreased with increasing cooling rate. Also, it decreased with stirring up to 3 minutes but increased above that point. The degree of sphericity became closer to be 1 with hold time. Semi-solid microstructure of Cu alloys, one of the high melting point alloys, could be controlled by electromagnetic stirring.

본 연구에서는 고압 환경에서 합성된 결정 입자의 크기에 원시료(starting materials)의 상(phase)이 미치는 영향을 확인했다. 상이 다른 두 가지 원시료인 비정질 시료와 나노파우더 시료를 이용해 알루미늄이 부화된 고압의 환원환경에서 삼원계 시스템인 브리지마나이트-페리클레이스-칼슘 페라이트(calcium ferrite)상의 MgAl₂O₄을 합성했다. 시료는 40 GPa 2000 K의 압력온도 조건에서 20 시간 동안 가열하여 합성했다. 합성된 시료는 비정질 시료를 이용한 경우 입자 크기가 50-200 nm였으며, 나노파우더를 이용한 경우 ~500 nm로 나타났다. 이러한 차이는 1) 시료가 합성된 2000 K의 온도가 낮아 비정질 시료의 경우 결정 성장보다 결정핵 성장이 더 우세하게 나타났거나 2) 시료에 존재할 수 있는 산화 환원반응 상태의 차이로 생각된다. 추후 다원계 시스템에 대한 고압 실험을 수행할 때 비정질 시료보다 나노파우더를 원시료로 이용하는 것이 결정 성장에서 더 유리할 것으로 생각된다.

자연산 바지락 (Ruditapes philippinarum) 개체군의 생식 주기와 수온-먹이섭이 및 절식조건에 따른 생식소 발달의 인위적 제어 결과를 조직학적 관찰에 의해 조사하였다. 곰소만 자연산 바지락 개체군의 생식소 발달에 따른 암수 개체의 생식주기는 초기활성기 (4-5월), 완숙기 (4-8월), 부분산란기 (5-10월), 퇴화 및 비활성기 (8-3월)의 연속적인 5단계로 구분할 수 있었다. 수온에 따른 생식소 발달의 인위적 제어 실험에서, 바지락은 저수온 (10$^{\circ}C$) 에 의해 억제되었다. 19$^{\circ}C$ 및 22$^{\circ}C$의 고수온에 노출시킨 실험구에서 생식소 발달은 고수온에 의해 촉진되었는데, 자연산 개체군의 것보다 약 1달 빠르게 나타났다. 고수온-먹이섭이 실험구에서, 작은개체 실험구의 생식소 발달 단계가 큰개체구 실험보다 더 빠르게 나타났으며, 저수온 (10$^{\circ}C$)의 것보다 더 빠르게 나타났다 (p=0.01). 암, 수 모든 개체들에서 고수온 (22-28$^{\circ}C$)-절식구 실험구의 생식소 발달관계가 고수온-섭이 실험구의 것들보다 더 빠른 것으로 나타났다. (paired sample t-test, p=0.004). 42일 경과 후 암컷과 수컷의 먹이섭이-고수온 실험구에서, 고수온-작은개체 실험구 조건이 큰개체의 생식소 발달보다 더 민감하게 나타났다. 그러나 저수온-수컷개체 실험구는 암컷 개체들의 실험구보다 반응이 좀 더 민감하게 나타났다. 전반적으로 고수온 실험구의 성적성숙이 저수온구보다 빠르게 나타났으며, 암수 개체 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다 (paired sample t-test, p=0.001). 42일 경과 후 절식 실험구에서, 고수온-수컷 큰개체 실험구의 생식소 발달이 고수온-암컷 큰개체 실험구의 것들보다 빠르게 나타났다. 그러나 작은 개체들의 생식소 발달 단계는 먹이섭이 실험구와 절식 실험구사이에 동일한 양상을 보였다. 산란 성기중 암수 개체들의 경우는 고수온-절식 실험구의 생식소 발달이 암컷과 수컷의 성 및 개체의 크기에 관계없이 고수온-먹이섭이 실험구의 것들보다 더 빠르게 나타났으며, 암수간 유의한 차를 보였다(paired sample t-test, p=0.004).

Three Holstein steers, fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas, were used in a replicated $3{\times}3$ Latin square design to determine the digestibility of dietary nitrogen in total digestive tract by three methods, 1) mobile nylon bag (MNB); 2) total fecal collection (TFC); and 3) washed fecal sample after freezing and thawing through a sieve with a pore size of $45{\mu}m$ (WFS). A basal diet of oaten hay-barley was supplemented with one of the following protein sources; soybean meal, fish meal or blood meal. Steers were fed at a level of 2% of body weight. The experimental diets were contained approximately 1.85% nitrogen. There were no differences (p>0.05) among the diets on DM, NDF and nitrogen disappearances, and the diet results were pooled to assess the methods. Total tract disappearances of dry matter and neutral detergent fiber were 61.6, 71.1 and 78.9 and 25.3, 63.2 and 64.6 for MNB, TFC and WFS methods, respectively. The lower digestibility of DM and NDF in the MNB method could be a result of low ruminal incubation time. The TFC method had the lower (p<0.05) determination of nitrogen disappearance in the total digestive tract than the MNB and WFS methods. On the other hand, nitrogen disappearance in the total digestive tract determined by the WFS technique was comparable to that in MNB technique, as there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between the methods. It is shown that the disappearance of dietary nitrogen in the total digestive tract could be estimated in the intact animals by using washed fecal sample prior to freezing and thawing.

Three phase hollow fiber-liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME), which is faster, simpler and uses a more environmentally friendly sample-preparation technique, was developed for the analysis of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) in human urine. For the effective simultaneous extraction/concentration of NSAIDs by three phase HF-LPME, parameters (such as extraction organic solvent, pH of donor/acceptor phase, stirring speed, salting-out effect, sample temperature, and extraction time) which influence the extraction efficiency were optimized. NSAIDs were extracted and concentrated from 4 mL of aqueous solution at pH 3 (donor phase) into dihexyl ether immobilized in the wall pores of a porous hollow fiber, and then extracted into the acceptor phase at pH 13 located in the lumen of the hollow fiber. After the extraction, 5 ${\mu}L$ of the acceptor phase was directly injected into the HPLC/UV system. Simultaneous chromatographic separation of seven NSAIDs was achieved on an Eclipse XDB-C18 (4.6 mm i.d. ${\times}$ 150 mm length, 5 ${\mu}m$ particle size) column using isocratic elution with 0.1% formic acid and methanol (30:70) at a HPLC-UV/Vis system. Under optimized conditions (extraction solvent, dihexyl ether; $pH_{donor}$, 3; $pH_{acceptor}$, 13; stirring speed, 1500 rpm; NaCl salt, 10%; sample temperature, $60^{\circ}C$; and extraction time, 45 min), enrichment factors (EF) were between 59 and 260. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ) in the spiked urine matrix were in the concentration range of 5-15 ng/mL and 15-45 ng/mL, respectively. The relative recovery and precision obtained were between 58 and 136% and below 15.7% RSD, respectively. The calibration curve was linear within the range of 0.015-0.96 ng/mL with the square of the correlation coefficient being more than 0.997. The established method can be used to analyse of NSAIDs of low concentration (ng/mL) in urine.

High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels show excellent toughness when trace amounts of transition elements are added. In steels, prior austenite grain size (PAGS), which is often determined by the number of added elements, is a critical factor in determining the mechanical properties of the material. In this study, we used two etching methods to measure and compare the PAGS of specimens with bainitic HSLA steels having different Nb contents These two methods were nital etching and picric acid etching. Both methods confirmed that the sample with high Nb content exhibited smaller PAGS than its low Nb counterpart because of Nb's ability to hinder austenite recrystallization at high temperatures. Although both etching approaches are beneficial to PAGS estimation, the picric acid etching method has the advantage of enabling observation of the interface containing Nb precipitate. By contrast, the nital etching method has the advantage of a very short etching time (5 s) in determining the PAGS, with the picric acid etching method being considerably longer (5 h).

이부프로펜은 비스테로이드성 소염진통제(Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs; NSAIDs)의 대표적인 성분이다. 이부프로펜은 결정성이 크기 때문에 난용성이며, 따라서 생체이용률(bioavailability)도 낮다. 이와 같은 난용성을 개선하기 위해서는 이부프로펜의 입도를 감소시킬 필요가 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 이부프로펜의 분쇄조건을 최적화하는데 있다. 이부프로펜을 분쇄하기 위하여 유성밀을 사용하였으며, Box-Behnken 방법을 이용하여 분쇄변수들의 최적조건을 구하였다. 이부프로펜 분쇄생성물의 물성을 조사하기 위하여 입도, 결정크기 및 인장강도 측정에는 각각 입도분석기, XRD, tensile/compression tester를 사용하였다. 분쇄 최적조건은 밀회전수는 290 rpm, 시료장입량은 24.6 g, 분쇄시간은 10분이었으며, 이 조건에서 이부프로펜 분쇄생성물의 입도는 $13.5{\mu}m$이었다. 이부프로펜은 분쇄 후 결정크기가 감소하였다. 이부프로펜 분쇄생성물의 정제의 상대밀도가 0.85~0.90인 범위에서 그 정제의 인장강도는 $12{\sim}14Kg_f/cm^2$ 이었다.

The Monte-Carlo (MC) technique is very efficient solution for statistical problem. Various MC methods can easily be applied to statistical circuit performance analysis. Recently, as the number of process parameters and their impact, has increasingly affected circuit performance, a sufficient sample size is required in order to consider high dimensionality, profound nonlinearity, and stringent accuracy requirements. Also, it is important to identify the performance of circuit as soon as possible. In this paper, Fast MC method is proposed for efficient analysis of circuit performance. The proposed method analyzes performance using enhanced-precision Latin Hypercube Sampling Monte Carlo (LHSMC). To increase the accuracy of the analysis, we calculate the effective dimension for the low discrepancy value on critical parameters. This will guarantee a robust input vector for the critical parameters. Using a 90nm process parameter and OP-AMP, we verified the accuracy and reliability of the proposed method in comparison with the standard MC, LHS and Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC).

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze health service utilization, and its related factors in low income families who earned half of the average Korean household income. Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive survey study in which a nationwide randomization sampling technique was used. The data were collected from July 12 to August 7, 1999, and the total sample size was 5,819 individuals, belonging to 1.753 households. Results: 1) In the utilization of health services for the last 3months, the pharmacy was the type of service that was the most utilized (32.0%), and the health center was the one that was the least utilized (10.3%). About 29% (29.2%) of the respondents could not utilize the health service at all. and 19.8% of the respondents terminated their medical treatments half way to completion because of financial difficulty (89.4%). 2) Analysis of the data using logistic regression showed that living with spouse, level of education, occupation, and income had statistically significant effects on health service utilization. Conclusion: The parameters of health care policies are equity and efficacy for health status, and the health service utilization by low income families. The conclusive resolution for these is the improvement of public health centers for an increased utilization rate of their services.
