Purpose: This study was conducted to verify the effects of self-esteem and critical thinking disposition on dental laboratory technology students' field practice stress. Methods: The subjects of the study were 198 dental laboratory technology students with clinical practice experience located in Gyeongsangbuk-do and Gyeongsangnam-do. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, correlation analysis, and linear regression analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 22.0 (IBM). Results: The average self-esteem, critical thinking disposition, and field practice stress scores were 3.76, 3.50, and 2.40, respectively. There was a significant correlation between self-esteem, critical thinking disposition, and field practice stress. It was found that the higher the self-esteem, the lower was the field practice stress. On the contrary, among the sub-items of critical thinking disposition, when intellectual fairness increased, the field practice stress decreased; however, when healthy skepticism increased, the field practice stress increased. Conclusion: Self-esteem and critical thinking disposition were both found to have a substantial effect on field practice stress. Therefore, various educational programs need to increase self-esteem and cultivate critical thinking skills for a successful field practice and field practice stress relief of laboratory technology students.

Magnetization measurements have been carried out on grain aligned Hg-1223 with the applied field parallel to the c-axis. The temperature dependence of the lower critical field H$_{cl}$(T) was determined by considering the effect of the surface barrier on the magnetization. H$_{cl}$(T) have been determined .from magnetic hysteresis loops within the framework of the modified Kim-Anderson critical-state model, where the surface barrier and the lower critical field are explicitly considered. At high temperature, H$_{cl}$(T) is identified as H$_p$(T). This results are agreed with the theory of Bean-Livinston surface barriers.

In this paper, we analyze self field effects of Bi-2223 tape-stacked cable assuming constant current density in the cross section of stacked cable. Generally, the critical current of Bi-2223 tape-stacked-cable in much less than the total summation of critical currents of each tape, which is mainly due to the self magnetic fields of the cable itself. Therefore, to predict the critical current of Bi-2223 tape-stacked-cable, we needs to analyze the self filed effects on the stacked cable as well as critical current density data(J$\_$C/) of one tape. To make it more complex, the critical current degradation of Bi-2223 tape is an-isotropic; the critical current is lower in the normal magnetic field(to the tape surface) than in the parallel field. In the paper, a novel approach to predict the critical current of a Bi-2223 tape-stacked-cable from a J$\_$C/-B curve of one tape is presented with the assumption of constant current density across the stacked cable, The approach basically includes the load analysis of the stacked tapes, and its usefulness is confirmed by the experimental data.

We investigate the effect of surface disorder on the lower critical field (H_c1) of MgB₂ thin films with a thickness of 850 nm, where the disorder on the surface region is produced by the irradiation of 140 keV Co ions with the dose of 1 × 10¹⁴ ions/cm². The thickness of the damaged region by the irradiation is around 143 nm, corresponding to ~17% of the whole thickness of the film, thereby forming the disordered MgB₂ overlayer on the pure MgB₂ layer. The magnetic field dependence of magnetization, M(H), for the pristine MgB₂ thin film and the film with overlayer is measured at various temperatures, and H_c1 is determined from the difference (△M) between the Meissner line and magnetization signal with the criterion of △M = 10^-3 emu. Intriguingly, the film with the disordered overlayer shows a remarkably large H_c1(0) = 108 Oe compared to the H_c1(0) = 84 Oe of pristine film, indicating that the disordered MgB₂ overlayer on the pure MgB₂ layer serves to prevent the penetration of vortices into the sample. These results provide new ideas for improving the superheating field to design high-performance superconducting radio-frequency cavities.

The magnetic properties of the $Y_{1}Ba_{2}Cu_{3-x}Sn_{x}O_{7-y}$ superconductor were studied as a function of Sn concentration by utilizing both the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and torque magnetometer. Unlike the cases where Fe and Co were substituted for Cu, the superconducting transition temperature was maintained above 90 K until x reached the value of 0.36. The lower critical field $H_{c1}(T)$ and upper critical field $H_{c2}(T)$ are measured as a function of temperature and external magnetic field, respectively. By aid of these results, $H_{c1}(0)$.($H_{c2}(0)$), the coherence length ${\varepsilon}_{0}$, the penetration depth ${\lambda}_{0}$, and the Ginzburg-Landau parameter k were oqtained. Flux pinning was also observed in the sample.

Magnetic properties of grain aligned high $T_c\;Y_1Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ superconductor are inverstigated. Grain-aligned superconductors have magnetic anisotropy in the Cu-O layer like single crystals. The lower critical field $H_{c1},$ measured at the temperature range of 2 K up to 77 K, is found to be decreasing linearly as temperature goes up. Moreover, it decreaes more rapidly when the Cu-O layer is perpendicular to the external magnetic field. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility shows that the value of magnetic susceptibility, $4{\pi}\;X,$ is close to -1 at low temperature. The intra grain critical current density $J_c,$ obtained from the Bean's critical state model, is found to be comparable to that of single crystal superconductors.

$MgB_2$ bulk samples were sintered at different ambient. In this work, high purity Ar gas was added with oxygen and hydrogen gas, which can be regarded as impurity in a sense, as a possible dopant in the $MgB_2$. It was found that oxygen in the sintering ambient leads to a decrease in the critical current density $J_c$ at self field and lower fields. However, we can obtained higher $J_c$ at higher fields. It was also noted that $MgB_2$ samples sintered with 5% hydrogen in Ar revealed the increased $J_c$ at all fields compared to those processed in pure Ar ambient. From the XRD and FESEM analysis, the impurity gas in Ar can refine the $MgB_2$ grain size and result in increased grain. boundary, which can act as a strong flux pinning sites in $MgB_2$ samples. Also discussed are the effects of sintering ambient on irreversibility field, $H_{irr}$ and the upper critical field, $H_{C2}$.

In order to provide some insights into the influence of electric field, gas composition, and gas temperature on electron energy distribution and electron transport characteristics, the Boltzmann equation was solved by using cross section data for electron collisions, Critical electric fields for the corona development in dry air and flue gas are 150 and 80 Td, respectively. It was seen that the decrease of critical electric field in flue gas is mainly caused by the $H_2O$ addition through the comparison of ionization and attachment coefficients of gas components. Increase of $O_2$, $H_2O$, and $CO_2$ contents in gas affected discharge characteristics according to their reciprocal characteristics between lowering the ionization threshold and increasing the electro-negativity. As electric field increases, electrons with higher energies in the electron energy distribution also increase. The mean and characteristic electron energies also linearly increase with electric field. The variation of flue gas temperature did rarely affect on the electron energy distribution function and electron transport characteristics, because the gas temperature is several hundreds or thousands times lower than the electron temperature.

Particle motion through a disk type critical orifice placed in a 3.0cm diameter chamber has been studied numerically. In the simulation, the velocity field is solved using Pantankar's SIMPLER algorithm for the compressible flow and convergence of the computation is confirmed if the mass source at each control volume is smaller than $10^{-7}$. The particle motion in the flow field is solved in Lagrangian method. The particle trajectories showed that the particles injected away from the center line are expanded rapidly. At lower pressures, this expansion phenomena are more dominant. At lower pressures, the clear difference in particle and air speed is showed all the way down to the exit plan. It was found that particles with Stokes number of ca.2.5 tend to focus close to the center line very well except the particles travelling near the wall. However, particles with Stokes number greater than ca.2.5 show a tendency to cross the center line.

Presented in this paper is a new method of identifying the critical speed of rotor-bearing systems without actually reaching at the critical speed itself. Using the method, it is not only possible to calculate the critical speed by measuring a series of rotor responses at much lower rotating speeds away from and without reaching at the critical speeds but also the damping ratio and eccentricity of the system can be identified at the same time. Two types of test rotors were tested on the Rotor Dynamics Test Facility at the Rotordyn-amics Lab, KIMM, and the theory has been confirmed experimentally. The method can be adopted to monitor changes of the dynamic characteristics of critical rotating machinery before and after overhauls, repairs, exchanges of various parts, or to detect trends of direction of subtle changes in the dynamic characteristic parameters over a long periods of time.
