Leakage studies have been performed frequently, since a fluid-tight seal provided by various dental fill-ing materials has been considered clinically important. The leakage of the various root-end filling materials has been widely investigated mostly dye penetration method. These dye studies cannot offer any information about the quality of the seal of a test material over a long period of time The purpose of this study was to evaluate the microleakage of root end cavities in blood contamination filed amalgam, intermediate restorative material(IRM), light cured glass ionomer cement(GI) and mineral trioxide aggregate(MTA) by means of a modified fluid transport model. Fifty standard human root sections, each 5mm high and with a central pulp lumen of 3mm in diameter, were and filled with our commonly used or potential root end fill ing materials after they were contaminated with blood. At 24h. 72h, 1, 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks after filling, leakage along these filling materials was determined under a low pressure of 10KPa(0.1atm) using a fluid transport model. The results were as follows : 1 MTA group showed a tendency of decreasing percent of gross leakage (20m1/day) in process of time, whereas the other materials showed a tendency of increasing in the process time. 2. At the all time interval, GI group leaked significantly less than amalgam group and IRM group (p＜0.05). 3. At the 4 weeks, the percentage of gross leakage in MTA group decreased to 0% thereafter, the low per-centage of gross leakage was maintained in MTA group until the end of the experiment, whereas the percentage in IRM group increased to 100% 4. At the 12 weeks, percentage of gross leakage was significantly low in MTA group(0%), comparison with GI group(40%), amalgam group(90%) and IRM group(100%), but there was no significant difference between latter two materials.

As part of monitoring technology aimed at verifying the stability of CO₂ geologic storage and mitigating concerns about leakage, a method for measuring the pH and alkalinity of high-pressure fluid samples was established to obtain practical technology. pH measurement for high-pressure samples utilized a high-pressure pH electrode, and alkalinity was measured using the Gran titration method for samples collected with a piston cylinder sampler (PCS). Experimental samples, referencing CO₂-rich water and CO₂ geologic storage studies, were prepared in the laboratory. The PCS controls the piston, preventing CO₂ degassing and maintaining fluid pressure, allowing mixing with KOH to fix dissolved CO₂. Results showed a 6.1% average error in high-pressure pH measurement. PCS use for sample collection maintained pressure, preventing CO₂ degassing. However, PCS-collected sample alkalinity measurements had larger errors than non-PCS measurements, limiting PCS practicality in monitoring field settings. Nevertheless, PCS could find utility in preprocessing for carbon isotope analysis and other applications. This research not only contributes to the field of CCS monitoring but also suggests potential applications in studies related to natural analogs of CCS, CO₂-rock interaction experiments, core flooding experiments, and beyond.

흙의 전단특성을 조사하기 위하여 다양한 전단시험장치가 사용되고 있다. 특히 흙의 무한변형에 따른 잔류전단강도(residual shear strength)를 측정하고자 할 경우 링전단시험장치가 사용된다. 본 연구는 배수, 압밀 및 전단속도 제어가 가능한 비배수전단강도 측정용 링전단시험장치를 사용하여 전단동안 발생하는 누수현상(water leakage)이 전단특성에 미치는 영향성에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험은 비배수조건에서 동일한 수직응력(50 kPa)을 재하하고 전단속도(0.01, 0.1, 1 mm/sec)를 3단계로 구분하여 적용하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 동일한 수직응력에서 비배수전단강도는 전단속도에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 상대적으로 낮은 전단속도(V = 0.01 mm/sec)에서는 변형률 경화 거동(strain hardening behavior)을 보였고 상대적으로 높은 전단속도(V ≥ 0.1 mm/sec)에서는 변형률 연화 거동(strain softening behavior)을 보였다. 시험기 성능평가를 통하여 누수가 발생할 경우 전단속도 크기에 관계없이 전단응력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 누수가 크면 클수록 전단응력이 증가된다. 이러한 실험결과는 전단동안 발생하는 누수로 인한 흙 입자의 재배열과 다짐도의 증가에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 육안조사 및 반복적인 포화와 압밀과정을 통하여 실험오차를 최소화할 수 있는 작업이 필요하다.

If water flows through a narrow passage into a medium that keeps the equilibrium of temperature, it causes small temperature difference and makes a temperature anomaly. The seepage or leakage often observed at old dams is a representative example of bringing about a temperature anomaly. Therefore, temperature measurements have been regarded as one of excellent methods that can detect the situation of seepage or leakage. However, because existing temperature measurement methods are based on a single sensor, the application of the method to the whole structure is nearly not possible in technical and economical phases. This paper introduces a temperature monitoring system using a thermal sensor cable that is comprised of addressable thermal sensors connected in parallel at many positions within a single cable. Through various laboratory and field experiments, it has been proved that the temperature monitoring technique can give an useful information about permeability of a medium or connectivity of fractures which have been regarded as difficult problems.

Advancements in bio-ceramic technology has revolutionised endodontic material science by enhancing the treatment outcome for patients. This class of dental materials conciliates excellent biocompatibility with high osseoconductivity that render them ideal for endodontic care. Few recently introduced bio-ceramic materials have shown considerable clinical success over their early generations in terms of good handling characteristics. Calcium enriched mixture (CEM) cement, Endosequence sealer, and root repair materials, Biodentine and BioAggregate are the new classes of bio-ceramic materials. The aim of this literature review is to present investigations regarding properties and applications of CEM cement in endodontics. A review of the existing literature was performed by using electronic and hand searching methods for CEM cement from January 2006 to December 2013. CEM cement has a different chemical composition from that of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) but has similar clinical applications. It combines the biocompatibility of MTA with more efficient characteristics, such as significantly shorter setting time, good handling characteristics, no staining of tooth and effective seal against bacterial leakage.

이 연구에서는 Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)와 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META) / methyl methacrylate (MMA) & tri-n-butylborane (TBB) 레진을 혼합하여 치근단 역충전 재료로 사용하였을 때의 미세누출을 MTA, 포틀랜드 시멘트와 비교하였다. 발치된 사람 치아의 근관형성 및 충전 후 치근단 절제와 역충전 와동을 형성하였다. MTA, Portland cement, MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB레진을 혼합한 각각의 재료로 치근단을 역충전한 후 methylene blue dye에 72시간 동안 침적하여 염료가 침투한 길이를 10배 현미경 하에서 측정하였다. MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB 레진 혼합 충전 군에서는 포틀랜드 시멘트나 MTA 충전군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 적은 미세 누출을 보였으며, 포틀랜드 시멘트와 MTA 충전군의 미세 누출 정도는 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 이 실험의 결과로 보아 MTA와 4-META/MMA & TBB레진 혼합 재료는 치근단 역충전시 포틀랜드 시멘트나 MTA에 비해 낮은 초기 미세누출을 보여, 치근단 봉쇄 효과가 우수한 것으로 사료된다.

콘크리트 구조물의 시공이음부는 적절한 처리에도 불구하고 누수되는 사례가 빈번히 발생되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 누수 현상이 신 구 콘크리트 간의 부착특성과도 관련이 있을 것으로 보고 이에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 여러가지 조건하에서 부착특성을 평가하기 위해 신 구 콘크리트의 접합부를 모사하는 시편들을 제작하여 접합부의 접착강도, 휨강도 및 쪼갬인장강도를 측정하였다. 주요 실험 변수는 혼화재의 종류 및 혼입률, 접합면의 처리 방법, 지수판의 종류였다. 그 외 신 구 콘크리트 타설 간격의 영향, 강도시험 재령에 따른 영향도 고찰하였다. 실험 결과 혼화재 사용에 따라 부착강도가 어느정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 포졸란 반응에 의해 생성되는 칼슘실리케이트 수화물이 접합부의 공극을 메우기 때문으로 생각된다. 한편, 접합면이 거칠고 건조할수록 부착성능이 향상되었으며, 지수판의 표면 거칠기는 지수판의 부착성능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시험 방법에 따른 부착강도의 차이가 발생하므로 이를 고려한 평가가 요망된다.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the patterns and the risk factors of newly developed vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). Methods : We performed a retrospective review of the 244 patients treated with PVP from September 2006 to February 2011. Among these patients, we selected 49 patients with newly developed VCFs following PVP as the new VCFs group, and the remaining 195 patients as the no VCFs group. The new VCFs group was further divided into 2 groups : an adjacent fractures group and a nonadjacent fractures group. The following data were collected from the groups : age, gender, body weight/height, body mass index (BMI), bone mineral density (BMD) score of the spine and femur, level of initial fracture, restoration rate of anterior/middle vertebral height, and intradiscal cement leakage, volume of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Results : Age, gender, mean body height/weight, mean BMI and volume of PMMA of each of the group are not statistically significantly associated with fractures. In comparison between the new VCFs group and the no VCFs group, lower BMD, intradiscal cement leakage and anterior vertebral height restoration were the significant predictive factors of the fracture. In addition, new VCFs occurrence at the adjacent spines was statistically significant, when the initial fracture levels were confined to the thoracolumbar junction, among the subgroups of new VCFs. Conclusion : Lower spinal BMD, the greater anterior vertebral height restoration rate and intradiscal cement leakage were confirmed as risk factors for newly formed VCFs after PVP.

본 연구에서는 초분광영상을 이용한 표적탐지에 있어 배경 신호 특징에 포함되는 표적 신호가 탐지성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고, 분광각을 기준으로 표적과 유사한 분광반사 특성을 가지는 화소들을 배경 특징화 과정에서 제외함으로써 표적탐지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 초분광 표적탐지를 위해 가장 흔히 이용되는 matched Filter와 adaptive cosine estimator 기법에 대해 실제 항공 초분광영상 자료와 여기에 인공표적을 삽입하여 생성한 모의 자료를 이용한 실험 결과, 배경 특징화를 위한 공분산행렬 계산 시 표적 스펙트럼과 유사도가 높은 표적 유사화소들을 제외함으로써 탐지 성능이 크게 향상될 수 있음이 확인되었다. 분광각외에 다양한 유사도 판정 기준들에 대한 적용성 연구와 함께, 제외되는 표적 유사화소들의 양이 최적으로 결정될 수 있는 방법에 대한 추가 연구가 이루어진다면 사용이 간편하고 성능이 우수한 초분광 표적탐지 기법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
