  • This study aims to investigate the mechanism of action of the cinnamon bark essential oil (CB), when used singly and also in combination with piperacillin, for its antimicrobial and synergistic activity against beta-lactamase TEM-1 plasmid-conferred Escherichia coli J53 R1. Viable count of bacteria for this combination of essential oil and antibiotic showed a complete killing profile at 20 h and further confirmed its synergistic effect by reducing the bacteria cell numbers. Analysis on the stability of treated cultures for cell membrane permeability by CB when tested against sodium dodecyl sulfate revealed that the bacterial cell membrane was disrupted by the essential oil. Scanning electron microscopy observation and bacterial surface charge measurement also revealed that CB causes irreversible membrane damage and reduces the bacterial surface charge. In addition, bioluminescence expression of Escherichia coli [pSB1075] and E. coli [pSB401] by CB showed reduction, indicating the possibility of the presence of quorum sensing (QS) inhibitors. Gas-chromatography and mass spectrometry of the essential oil of Cinnamomum verum showed that trans-cinnamaldehyde (72.81%), benzyl alcohol (12.5%), and eugenol (6.57%) were the major components in the essential oil. From this study, CB has the potential to reverse E. coli J53 R1 resistance to piperacillin through two pathways; modification in the permeability of the outer membrane or bacterial QS inhibition.

  • 정보통신기술의 발달과 전자기기의 사용량 증가에 따른 전자파장애의 발생이 점차 사회 문제화되면서 그 대책이 요구됨에 따라 전자파 흡수체에 대한 관심도 증가되고 있는데 본 연구에서는 전자파 흡수체로 알려진 NiCuZn 페라이트의 조성비 및 소결온도 변화에 따른 복소유전율과 복소투자율의 주파수 의존 특성을 알아보고 전자파 흡수성능에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. NiCuZn 페라이트의 조성 중 $Fe_2O_3$및 ZnO를 각각 49.0, 34.0mol%로 고정하고 NiO 및 CuO의 구성비를 변화시켜 측정한 결과 NiO의 구성비가 8.5~9.5 mol%의 범위에서, 소결온도는 $1080^{\circ}C$에서 초투자율 및 유전율이 크고 $loss tangent(=\mur"/\mur')$가 약 2 MHz~9.5 GHz 주파수 대역에서 1 이상을 보이며 전파흡수 성능이 가장 우수하게 나타났다.나타났다.

  • The purpose of this study was to analyze how the fiber properties and mixing ratio of softwood and hardwood pulp affect on roundness of printed image. Softwood pulp and hardwood pulp were refined to 400 and 600ml CSF by Valley beater and handsheets of 70 g/$m^2$ basis weight were made at different mixing ratios of hardwood and softwood pulp. The roundness, dot area, and shape of the printed dot were measured by Image Analyzer. The depths and shapes of the acridine orange penetration into paper were measured by CLSM. With higher mixing ratio of hardwood pulp, the paper showed higher air-permeability and better formation, especially at lower freeness. The roundness of the printed image became better and the dot size became smaller when the amount of hardwood pulp increased. Penetration depth of acridine orange by CLSM became greater and roundness increased to real circle when the amount of hardwood pulp increased. It was thought that higher mixing ratio of hardwood fibers resulted in efficient penetration by better formation with uniform micro-pore distribution and it increased roundness. It was thought that fiber properties and mixing ratio affected the structure of paper and the shape of the printed dot. This study showed that the measurement of depth of the liquid penetration into paper without destruction and contact was feasible. Moreover, this method showed that the shape of the liquid penetration was measurable.

  • 연직배수재를 타설한 지반의 압밀은 배수재 근처 지반의 투수성에 큰 영향을 받으므로 스미어 영역의 투수성이 방사방향 압밀속도를 지배한다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 이론해와 수치해석을 이용하여 스미어 영역의 압밀특성을 기준으로 새로운 방사방향 압밀해석을 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안방법에 의한 압밀해석결과는 비교란점토의 압밀특성을 기준으로 압밀해석을 하는 기존방법 보다 불확실성이 큰 $k_h/k_s$에 큰 영향을 받지 않고 신뢰성 있는 결과를 주는 것으로 관찰되었다. PVD를 설치한 부산신항만 연약지반에 대해 압밀해석 결과와 현장 계측데이터를 비교해 본 결과, 제안방법은 부산신항만 압밀속도를 잘 예측하였으며 스미어 영역의 크기는 $3d_w$ 정도로 추정되었다.

  • The contribution of light in high-energy film dosimetry was examined using six commercially available solid water substitute phantoms. As six commercially available phantoms; RMI-451, Mix-DP, WE211, WE211-Black, PMMA and PMMA Black were evaluated in this study. It is difficult to evaluate the contribution of Cerenkov radiation and the optical permeability to the relative and/or absolute dosimetry using unpacked film in these phantoms. Therefore the contribution of Cerenkov radiation was estimated by the comparison between film densities in the shielded side (shutting off the light) and unshielded sides on a phantom. The effect of optical permeability was measured under ambient light by the time scale method. The results suggest that the use of black colored phantoms may improve the accuracy of dose measurement in film dosimetry.

  • PURPOSES : This study is to construct the regression models of drainage asphalt concrete specimens and to provide the appropriate coefficients of hydraulic conductivity prediction models. METHODS: In terms of easy calculation of the hydraulic conductivity from porosity of asphalt concrete pavement, the estimation model of hydraulic conductivity was proposed using regression analysis. 10 specimens of drainage asphalt concrete pavement were made for measurement of the hydraulic conductivity. Hydraulic conductivity model proposed in this study was calculated by empirical model based on porosity and the grain size. In this study, it shows the compared results from permeability measured test and empirical equation, and the suitability of proposed model, using regression analysis. RESULTS: As the result of the regression analysis, the hydraulic conductivity calculated from the proposal model was similar to that resulted from permeability measured test. Also result of RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) analysis, a proposed regression model is resulted in more accurate model. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed model can be used in case of estimating the hydraulic conductivity at drainage asphalt concrete pavements in fields.

  • With the development of electromagnetic communication technology and increased use of electromagnetic wave, the countermeasure of EMI(Electromagnetic Interference) becomes more important socially, and interest for the electromagnetic wave absorber has also increased. In this paper, we have studied characteristics of frequency dependency on complex permittivity and complex permeability according to the changes of composition rate and sintering temperature of NiCuZn ferrite also known as electromagnetic wave absorber and further looked into effect of electromagnetic wave absorption properties. From the measurement where the composition of Fe$_2$O$_3$ and ZnO of NiCuZn ferrite was fixed at 49 and 34 mol% respectively while composition of NiO and CuO has been varied at each test, we found out that initial permeability and permittivity were high and the absorbing ability of electromagnetic wave recorded best with loss tangent(${\mu}$r"/${\mu}$r′) displays more than 1 within the frequency band of 2MHz~9.5MHz when the composition ratio of NiO was ranged around 8.5~9.5 mol% and the sintering temperature was 1,080$^{\circ}C$.

  • The shield effect of 4 layered shield case was investigated in this paper. The material of the case was non-oriented SiFe sheet with a thickness of 0.5mm. The size of the case was 100mm wide, 100mm high and 300mm long. Relative permeability of SiFe sheet was needed to calculate shield effect. It was obtained from the measurement by a ferrite yoke and from the calculation by eddy current FEM analysis. Three configurations were used to connect both ends of SiFe sheet. First one is a connection by double-welded butt. Second one is to put the sheet the same material above the confronted both ends of the sheet to avoid a leakage magnetic flux. The last one is ideally without any connection. The shield effect of the second one agreed well with the last one and showed the shield effect of -40dB.

  • 본 연구는 최근 개발된 합성실리카 그라우트재의 공학적 특성을 규명한 것으로서 연구에 사용된 그라우트재는 보통포틀랜드시멘트를 주로 사용하였으며, 응결재인 합성실리카, 실리카졸, 규산나트륨 3호에 대한 특성을 분석하였다. 공학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 육안관측, SEM촬영, 일축압축강도시험과 현장적용성 시험 등을 실시하였다. 이상과 같은 일련의 시험들에 의한 결과, 일반적인 규산나트륨 3호의 겔보다 합성실리카의 겔이 단시간(6~24시간)내에 일축압축강도가 3~6배정도의 고강도로 나타났다. 특히 JS-CGM Grouting에 의한 현장적용성 평가에 있어서 합성실리카 그라우트재는 차수공법용 주입재로써 상당한 투수계수 저감효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 비정질 F $e_{81}$ $B_{13.5}$S $i_{3.5}$ $C_2$리본에서 중성자 조사 후 X-선 회절, 상온에서의 자기이력곡선, 자화의 온도의존성 그리고 복소 투자율 측정하고, 결함에 의한 자기 특성과 관련하여 분석하였다. 중성자 조사량은 열 중성자( $n_{th}$)와 고속 중성자( $n_{f}$)가 각각 6.95$\times$$10^{18}$ $n_{th}$$cm^{-2}$ 과 4.56$\times$$10^{16}$ $n_{f}$$cm^{-2}$ 이었다. 중성자 조사된 시료의 X-선 회절상의 변화는 보이지 않았다. 중성자 조사 후, 복소 투자율의 자기이완특성에서 자벽운동에 의한 부분은 감소하였고, 자화회전에 의한 자기이완 주파수는 좀더 높은 주파수 영역으로 이동하였는데 , 이는 pinning력이 증가된 것을 반영한다. 자기이력곡선에서는 중성자 조사 후의 시료의 softness는 좋아지는 한편 포화자화값은 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, Curie 온도가 감소하는 결과가 나왔다. 자기 softness 향상은 자화회전에 의한 것이라 여겨진다.다.다.다.
