We carried out these experiments to examine the effects of element substitution of Co and La-Co for Sr-ferrite. The calcined properties of Co and La-Co element substitution were examined, and also the sintered magnetic properties were measured with the stoichiometric condition. The magnetic properties of $(La-Co)_{0.3}-SrM$ composition are as follows; $(M_s)$: 71.08 emu/g, $iH_c$: 4.38 kOe and $B_r$ : 4.18 kG, $iH_ c$ :4.35 kOe, $BH_{max}$: 4.3 MGOe. The $BH_{max}$ value was increased up to 10 % compared with conventional values. Our results imply that the magnetic properties of Sr-ferrite can be improved by the substitution of those elements.

Purpose: Various studies to solve the problem of increased energy consumption in the buildings are being carried out recently. Especially, the economic feasibility and insulation performance of the air-cap have been verified so that various studies regarding the reduction of building energy consumption have been carried out. However, previous studies regarding the air-cap were only carried out based on the verification of its insulation performance according to the size and attachment position of the air-cap. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to suggest a detachable air-cap module for improving the performance of the windows, evaluate the performance based on cooling, heating and light environments and verify its effectiveness through a real-scale testbed. Method: In this study, the energy saving performance in the circumstance where there is no attachment of an air-cap (Case 1), the circumstance where there is the attachment of air-cap on the glass surface of window (Case 2) and the circumstance where there is the attachment of an air-cap on the window frame (Case 3) were compared in order to verify the performance of the detachable air-cap module (Case 4), and the electricity consumption of cooling, heating and lighting equipment to maintain the appropriate indoor temperature and Illuminance for each case was calculated and utilized as indicators for the performance evaluation. Result: The result of this study is as follows. 1) In this study, the detachable air-cap module which was easily detachable through the principle of the magnet was suggested. 2) When Case 4 is applied, the electricity consumption of cooling and heating equipment can be reduced by 27.5%, 13.2% and 3.4% in comparison with Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 respectively. 3) When the air-cap is applied to the window, the lighting energy consumption increases by 4 % in comparison to the non application of the air-cap, and this factor or aspect should be considered when applying the air-cap. 4) According to the performance evaluation result in consideration of cooling, heating and light environments, Case 4 demonstrates an energy saving ratio of 22.6%, 10.6% and 2.7% in comparison to Case 1, Case 2 and Case 3 respectively, indicating that it is effective for improving the performance of windows.

Observation is one of the important aspects in science and science education. However. observation has so many varieties that the purpose and the meaning of scientific observations used in science education are different in persons, contexts, and subjects. In this study, we tried to understand the natures of scientific observation and investigated students' observational activities using four observation tasks: candle, double pendulum, iron filings around bar magnet, two electric bulbs connected in series. We required the subjects to observe the given tasks and described what did they observe. Based on students' observational descriptions, students' observational activities could be classified in four categories: primitive, interpretive, operational, and interfered observation. Also, we could find that some of the descriptions were non-observational activities such as predicting and questioning and so on. Finally, implications for the teaching of observation in science education are suggested.

Field trials evaluating selected commercially available mosquito traps variously baited with light, carbon dioxide, and/or octenol were conducted from 18-27 September 2000 in a malarious area near Paekyeon-ri (Tongil-Chon) and Camp Greaves in Paju County, Kyonggi Province, Republic of Korea. The host-seeking activity for common mosquito species, including the primary vector of Japanese encephalitis, Culex tritaeniorhynchus Giles. was determined using hourly aspirator collections from a human and propane lantern-baited Shannon trap doting hours when temperatures exceeded $15^{\circ}C$. The total number of mosquitoes and number of each species captured during the test was compared using a block design. Significant differences were observed for the total number of mosquitoes collected, such that, the Mosquito MagnetTM with octenol > Shannon trap > ABC light trap with light and dry ice > Miniature Black Light trap (manufactured by John W. Hock) $\geq$ New Jersey Trap > ABC light trap with light only. Significant differences in numbers collected among trapes were noted for several species including: Aedes vexans (Meigen), Anopheles lesteri Baisas and Hu. An. sinensis Weidemann, An. sineroides Yamada, An. yatsushiroensis Miyazaki. Culex pipiens pallets Coquillett L., Cx. orientalis Edwards and Cx. tritaeniorhynchus. Host-seeking activity for most common species showed a similar bimodal pattern. Results from these field trap evaluations can significantly enhance current vector and disease surveillance efforts especially for the primary vector of Japanese encephalitis, Cx. tritaeniorhunchus.

The Electronic compass made as a pilot model in this research is comprised of a three axis magnetic sensor, an accustar clinometer, and a fiber optic gyro sensor. The results confirming the output character, performance, and the accuracy of the deviation corrects of each sensor are as follows: 1) As for the output character of the three axis magnetic sensor, the magnetic field showed a cosine curve on the X axis, a - sine curve on the Y axis, and constant figures on the Z sensor. The horizontal component H and the vertical component V of the terrestrial magnetism calculated from the output voltage were 33.2${\mu}$T and 23.95${\mu}$T respectively. 2) When the fiber optic gyro sensor is fixed on the electromotive rotation transformation and has made a clockwise rotation with the speed of 10/sec, 20/sec, and 30/sec, the relationship between the output and the rotation angle of the fiber optic gyro sensor showed proportionally constant values. 3) When the magnetic field was induced with a magnet, the deviation before the correction was significant at a high of 25. However, the deviation after the correction using Poisson correction was in the 2 range, significantly lower than before the correction. It was confirmed that automatic deviation corrects are possible with the electronic compass made as a pilot model in this research.

Statement of problem: Conventional mandibular complete denture lacks in support and stability for edentulous patients to use. Purpose: To enhance support and stability of mandibular complete denture, 2 implants were inserted on the inter-mental foramina space of edentulous patients. With 2 magnetic attachments on the inner side of the overdenture, we gave immediate loads and evaluated the stability of the implants, the responses of the supporting tissues, and the satisfaction of the patients. Material & methods: 6 edentulous patients (5 male, 1 female) each recieved 2 SLA implants in the inter-mental foramina region and implants were immediately loaded with overdenture with magnet attachments. To evaluate the implants stability and the peri-implant tissues, clinical exams, RFA tests and radiographic exams were preformed at the 1 week, 2wks, 6wks, 12wks, and 24wks. post- surgery. Results: The mean surgery time was $45.7{\pm}7.7mins$., while the denture delivery time was $45.5{\pm}12.6mins$. Only 2 of 14 implants were failed. Survived implants that remained were clincally and radiographically stable. Mean ISQ values were relatively stable, showing $69.71{\pm}5.55$, $69.00{\pm}9.48$, $67.92{\pm}7.86$, $67.92{\pm}9.58$, $70.08{\pm}7.61$, $71.92{\pm}6.43$ at the 1 wk, 2 wks, 6 wks, 12 wks, 24 wks. follow up check. Crestal bone changes were $-1.18mm{\pm}0.68mm$, $-1.35{\pm}0.69mm$, $-1.47{\pm}0.68mm$ at the 6wks, 12wks, 24wks. follow up check. Bleeding on probing(BOP index) was not significant. Conclusion: Mandibular ovedentures with 2 magnetic attachments over two interforaminal implants on edentulous patients for immediate function is a recommendable novel treatment for edentulous patients which shows stability on the implants and supporting tissue.

This paper presents the study about MGV(Magnetic guidance vehicle) with up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit. Previous MGV needs the landmarks to get the driving information and additional sensor to recognize the landmarks except for localization sensor. Previous MGV requires at least 2 drive units when common fixed differential drive unit is used because it occurs the problems with driving control and localization error from imbalance of the MGV's weight. To solve such problems, we propose the MGV using up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit. Proposed MGV recognizes the driving information from the pattern which is consisted of both pole of magnet without landmarks and additional sensors, and it control the backward movement using up-and-down rotating type differential drive unit instead of common drive units. Proposed MGV considers KF(Kalman filter) to improve the localization accuracy. To verify the performance of proposed method, we designed MGV for the experiment. As the results, we can confirm the performance of propoesed method to recognize the pattern and to control the backward movement. With respect to localization, proposed method has the less RMSE about 5.6904 mm than previous method.

For understanding of anatomy, physiology, and diseases of human TMJ, it is required to evaluate quantitatively the movement of the disc and condyle head of mandible. The histologic section of cadaver TMJ were examined, and the magnification of the MR image and its details of anatomy were evaluated. And then a quantitative analytic method, by comparing the Sectograph and the MR image of vital human TMJ, was proposed. For this study, 15 subjects(Male, 24~35years) were selected from a prosthodontic examination randomly, and each subject’s five interocclusal rubber registration records were made on the ICP, and 5, 10, 15, and 20mmjaw opening positions. All subjects were radiographed with a Denar Quint Sectograph Image System(Denar Corp., USA), and imaged with a MRP-20EX MR Image System(0.2T, Permanent Magnet Type, Hitachi Medical Corp., Japan) using an 100mm diameter bilateral type surface coil. These images were traced on the acetate tracing paper, and analyzed In this study, the findings led to the following conclusions. 1. In comparison of the histologic section of autopsy specimen with the MR image at the same section, the size(dimension) of MR image was 70% of the real one. It was possible to recognize the shape of articular disc, anterior and posterior attachments, and adjacent soft tissues, because of the excellent reproducibility of anatomical structure. 2. When we compared the amount of joint space on MR image with that of joint space on sectograph, the amount of joint space on sectograph was significantly greater than that of joint space on MR image, except at the top of condylar head. 3. The position of minimum joint space on sectograph at intercuspal position didn't coincide with the middle position of articular disc on MR image, and was approximately in the anterior third of posterior band of articular disc. 4. The amount of condylar movement on MR image at opening movement was greater than that of articular disc movement. From Intercuspal position to 5mm jaw-opening movement, the condylar movement showed hinge one, and over the range 5mm jaw-opening it suggested hinge & translatory one. 5. In terms of area variation of articular disc measured on MR image in sagittal plane, the area of posterior band increased with increasing the amount of Jaw opening, but the area of anterior band decreased conversely.

Effects of powdered activated carbon impregnated by iron oxide nano particle (Impregnated PAC) on the microfiltration (MF) membrane system performance in NOM removal from water were investigated in this study. A fluidized bed column was employed as a pretreatment of MF membrane process. The Impregnated PAC bed was stably maintained at an upflow rate of 63 m/d without leakage of the Impregnated PAC particles, which provided a contact time of 29 minutes. A magnetic ring at the upper part of the column could effectively hold the overflowing discrete particles. The Impregnated PAC column demonstrated a significant enhancement in the MF membrane performance in terms of fouling prevention and natural organic matter (NOM) removal. Trans-membrane pressure of the MF membrane increased to 41 kPa in 98 hours of operation, while it could be maintained at 12 kPa with the Impregnated PAC pretreatment. Removal of NOM determined by dissolved organic carbon and UV254 was also enhanced from 46% and 51% to 75% and 84%, respectively, by the pretreatment. It was found that the Impregnated PAC effectively removed a wide range of different molecular-sized organic compounds from size exclusion analysis.
