In this study the thermal impact characteristics by forest fire are extensively investigated using temperature controlled ovens. The test conditions for thermal impact damage are simulated according to the characteristics of natural forest fire. The test pieces are suspension porcelain insulators made by KRI in 2005 for transmission lines. In the thermal impact cycle tests with $300\;^{\circ}C$ thermal impact gradient (-70 to $230\;^{\circ}C$), cycling in 10 minute periods, no critical failures occurred in the test samples even with long cycle times. But in tests with thermal impact gradient from room temperature to $200-600\;^{\circ}C$, cycling in 10 to 30 minute periods, there were critical failures of the porcelain insulators according to the thermal impact gradient and quenching method. In the case of thermal impact by forest fire, it was found of that duration time is more important than the cycling time, and the initiation temperature of porcelain insulator failures is about $300\;^{\circ}C$, in the case of water quenching, many cracks and fracture of the porcelain occurred. It was found that the thermal impact failure is closely related to the displacement in the cement by thermal stress as confirmed by simulation. It was estimated that the initiation displacement by the thermal impact of $300\;^{\circ}C$ is about 0.1 %. Above 1% displacement, it is expected that the most porcelain insulators would fail.

Background: Balloon kyphoplasty is the new technique that helps to decrease the pain and improve mobility as well as restore the vertebral body height and kyphotic curve in fractured vertebrae. We evaluated the outcome of balloon kyphoplasty in the reduction of vertebral body height, kyphotic curve and clinical improvement in the patients with painful vertebral compression fractures. Methods: From July 2002 to February 2005, 84 levels of vertebral compression fractures in 66 patients were treated with balloon kyphoplasty. The assessment criteria were the changes over time in visual analogue scale (VAS) and mobility score. We evaluated the vertebral body height and kyphotic curve at preoperative 1 day and postoperative 1 day. Results: Procedures were performed in 66 patients with a total of 84 affected vertebral bodies. The anterior wall height was restored in 74 / 84 (88%) levels with a mean increment of 2.9 mm, and the mid-vertebral body height was restored in 79 / 84 (94%) levels with a mean increment of 4.2 mm. Kyphosis correction was achieved in 60 / 84 (71.4%) from 10.1 degrees to 7.5 degrees. Pain intensity reduced by 60% in one day after operation and by 75-85% in later time. Mobility scores of all patients were improved immediately after the procedure. Cement leakage occurred in 3 levels but there was no clinical problem. Conclusions: Kyphoplasty is an efficient and safe treatment of painful vertebral compression fracture in pain relief, mobility improvement, and reduction of deformity.

Purpose : Eosinophilic granuloma is a rare benign tumor that is characterized histologically by the presence of destructive granulomas containing numerous Langerhans, cells. The most common presentation of eosinophilic granuloma is a painful, immobile scalp mass in the frontal and parietal bones occurring predominantly in children and adolescents or young adults. We report a representative case of eosinophilic granuloma. Methods : A 16-year-old woman complained of an enlarging fixed scalp mass without pain and tenderness which measured $3{\times}4.5cm$ at the frontal area, which had been found incidentally 2 months before. Plain skull x-ray showed a punched-out bone lesion. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a non-enhancing osteolytic lesion. The tumor and surrounding bony edges were completely removed via a bicoronal approach. The bony defect was reconstructed with bone cement. Results : The tumor was involved frontal bone and dura mater. We confirmed the tumor by the documentation of Birbeck's granules by electron microscopy. There is no evidence of local recurrence during postoperative 1.5 years. Conclusion : The present case shows the characteristic feature of frontal bone involvment of the eosinophilic granuloma. The prognosis of eosinophilic granuloma depend on age at diagnosis and number of bones involved. We consider that best choice of treatment for eosinophilic granuloma is surgical excision.

Eighteen Holstein Friesian ${\times}$ Native heifers with an average live weight of $175.4{\pm}27.8kg$ were allotted to 3 dietary groups. All animals were kept individually in a stanchion barn with free access to water and urea-treated rice straw (UTS). The supplemented feeds were as follows: Group (Gr) 1 - concentrate mixture (15% CP) at 1% body weight (BW), Gr 2 - concentrate mixture at 0.7% BW + free licking of multinutrient block (MNB), Gr 3 - as Gr 2 + 0.3% BW ground com. Multinutrient block composed of 20% mineral mixture, 10% urea, 18% molasses, 20% soybean meal, 22% sesame meal, 10% cement, 0.15 million IU and 50 IU/kg MNB of vitamin A and E. The experimental period lasted 12 weeks. The result revealed that MNB enhanced intake of UTS and total dry matter intake. Animals in Gr 3 consumed a higher amount of feed than the other 2 groups, thus resulting in the highest live weight gain and tended to possess the best feed conversion ratio. Heifers in Gr 2 also performed better than Gr 1 although the difference was not significant. Average MNB intake found to be 0.65 kg/day. Feed cost per kg gain was not significantly different amon groups. However if the cost of MNB could be lower, it would benefit the production cost of animals. The advantage of MNB is the safety of using a high level of urea. Although it was supplemented to UTS which also contained non-protein nitrogen (NPN), no toxic sign was shown. The results indicated that MNB could be partially substituted to concentrate mixture and it was even better when used incombination with soluble carbohydrate feed.

This work was conducted to find the operating characteristics of an efficient wet grinding system designed to obtain fine rice husk ash powder. Once the rice husk was combusted and the thermal energy was recovered from the furnace, the ash was fed and pulverized in the grinding system resulting a fine powder to be used as a supplementary adding material to the portland cement. Grinding time (15, 30, 45 min), impeller speed (250, 500, 750 rpm), and mixed ratio (6.7, 8.4, 11.l, 20.9) were three operating factors examined for the performance of a wet-type stirred ball mill grinding system. For the operating conditions employed, mean diameter of fine ash powder, specific energy input, and grinding energy efficiency were in the range of $2.83{\sim}9.58{\mu}m,\;0.5{\sim}6.73kWh/kg,\;and\;0.51{\sim}3.27m^2/Wh$, respectively. With the wet-type stirred ball mill grinding system used in this study, the grinding energy efficiency decreased with the increase in total grinding time, impeller speed, and mixed ratio. The difference in specific surface area of powder linearly increased with logarithm in total number of impeller revolution and the grinding energy efficiency linearly decreased. Grinding time of 45 min, impeller speed of 500 rpm, and mixed ratio of 6.7 were chosen as the best operating condition. At this condition, mean particle diameter of the fine ash, grinding energy efficiency, grinding throughput, and specific energy input were $2.84{\mu}m,\;2.28m^2/Wh,\;0.17kg/h$, and 2.03kWh/kg, respectively. Wet fine grinding which generates no fly dust causing pollution and makes continuous operation easy, is appeared to be a promising solution to the automatization of rice husk ash grinding process.

Mercury is one of the most hazardous air pollutants. Recently, mercury has been a concern in domestic and overseas because it has lethal toxicity, long distance transport, persistence and bioaccumulation in the environment. Stationary combustion sources such as coal-fired power plants, waste incinerators, and cement kilns are the major sources of mercury emissions. The objectives of this study were to measure the concentration for mercury from coal-fired power plants and to calculate emission factor to estimate its emission. The results showed that the mercury concentrations in the flue gas were 1.63-3.03 mg/$Sm^3$ in anthracite-fired power plants (average 2.32 mg/$Sm^3$) and 1.95-3.33 mg/$Sm^3$ in bituminous-fired power plants (average 2.6 mg/$Sm^3$). Mercury emission factor was estimated as 25.74 mg/ton for anthracite-fired power plants and 12.48 mg/ton for bituminous-fired power plants. Because actual measurements are limited in quantity, it is desirable to refine our estimates by extending the actual measurements.

VES-LMC(Very-Early Strength Latex Modified Concrete)는 콘크리트의 내구성 향상에 기여하는 SB라텍스를 첨가한 신속개방형 보수보강재로서로 교면재포장 및 콘크리트포장 보수에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 VES-LMC의 밝은 색상은 운전자에게 시각적 부담을 유발하여 주행성을 저하시킬 수 있어, 심리적 안정 도모를 위해 VES-LMC의 색상을 인접한 아스팔트 포장구간과 유사한 흑색으로 개발할 필요성이 대두 되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 흑색안료인 카본블랙을 시멘트량 대비 2% 첨가한 흑색 VES-LMC에 대한 현장 적용성 및 공용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 현장 적용결과 흑색 VES-LMC는 기존 VES-LMC와 비교하여 작업성, 슬럼프, 공기량 등에는 변화가 없었으며 양생 4시간에서는 20MPa 이상을 발현하였다. 공용성 평가결과 흑색 VES-LMC는 일반콘크리트와 아스팔트포장 구간에 비하여 온도응력발생량이 가장 적은 것으로 평가되었으며, 이것은 콘크리트의 안정성을 의미한다. 특히 결빙시 영하권에서도 상온을 유지하여 도로결빙을 예방하고 융빙을 촉진할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The restorations of the severely damaged teeth by post core have been increased with the developement of endodontic procedures. But high failure rates of these procedures being reported, various restorative modifications were induced for successful treatments. Cast post-core and prefabricated post with core buildups are choice of treatment. The main causes of failure of the restorations are the fracture of post and core, root fracture, and recurrent caries due to microleakage. Recently, the acid etching technique and the use of dentin bonding agent at tooth surface to reduce the possible microleakage at the tooth-restoration interfaces were introduced. The object of this study was to measure and compare the microleakage by the types and cementation methods of post-core. For this study, forty extracted human anterior teeth were selected for specimen. After cleansing and routine endodontic procedures, anatomic crowns of each specimen were removed at the level of 2mm above the cementoenamel junction. Canals were preparated for post insertion and specimens were divided into four groups randomly. Post-cores were fabricated according to method for each group. Microleakage was measured by length of dye penetration at the tooth-restoration interfaces with measuring microscope at 50 magnification. Oneway ANOVA and t-test were performed for statistical analysis of resulting data. The following results were obtained from this study. 1. There wert significant statistical differences in degree of microleakage between each group (p<0.01). 2. Cast post-core cemented with ZPC (Group I) showed the most severe microleakage pattern$(1.5547{\pm}0.0872mm)$, and cast post-core cemented with adhesive resin cement after tooth surface treatment with dentin bonding agent (Group II) showed the least microleakage $(0.1497{\pm}0.0872mm)$. 3. Group IV revealed less dye penetrations than group III, but no statistical significance was seen between two groups.

화력발전소에서 발생되는 플라이애쉬는 콘크리트의 첨가재로 사용되는 것이 석탄회 재활용 방안 중 최선으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 석탄회는 최근 더 이상 매립이 불가능하여 콘크리트에 다량 첨가가 시도되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 현재까지 하이볼륨 플라이애쉬(High Volume Fly Ash: HVFA) 시멘트 콘크리트의 연구분야는 주로 재료적인 분야에 대해서만 수행되어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 하이볼륨 플라이애쉬 시멘트 콘크리트의 구조재료로의 적용을 위해서는 탄성계수, 응력-변형률 관계 및 구조 부재 거동 등에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 이 논문에서는 플라이애쉬 치환율 0, 35 및 50%, 압축강도 20, 40 및 60 MPa 그리고 인장철근비 2수준을 실험변수로 하여 플라이애쉬 시멘트 철근콘크리트 보 18개를 제작하여 이들의 휨거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 플라이애쉬를 첨가하지 않은 일반 콘크리트(FA=0%)와 35, 50% 플라이애쉬 시멘트 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동은 크게 차이나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

최근 들어 국내의 골재수급문제 때문에 육상모래를 많이 사용하게 되는데 이에 이 논문에서는 잔골재율(S/a) 변화를 통하여 콘크리트에 미치는 유동성과 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 이에 플라이애쉬 사용에 따른 영향을 추가적으로 검토하여 70MPa급 고강도 콘크리트를 제조하고자 하였다. 검토결과, 잔골재율 $37{\sim}45%$ 범위에서 잔골재율이 감소할수록 유동성이 증가하였고 S/a=39%에서 최대 강도인 77MPa를 나타내 적정 잔골재율로 판단된다. 또한 플라이애쉬를 시멘트에 대해 20%까지 치환한 경우 사용량이 증가할수록 유동성이 증가하였으며 재령 28일에서 압축강도도 플라이애쉬를 사용하지 않은 경우에 대해 동등이상의 압축강도를 나타내어 시멘트에 대해 $10{\sim}15%$ 치환한 경우가 적정 치환율로 판단된다.
