  • A novel poly(vinylchloride)-based membrane sensor using $N^1$,$N^3$,$N^5$-tris(2-(2,3-dihydroxybenzylamino)-ethyl)cyclohexane-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (CYCOENCAT, L) as ionophore has been prepared and explored as $Fe^{3+}$ selective electrode. The membrane electrode composed of ionophore, poly(vinylchloride) and o-nitropheyloctyl ether in the optimum ratio 4:33:63 gave excellent potentiometric response characteristics, and displayed a linear log[$Fe^{3+}$] versus EMF response over a wide concentration range of $1.0{\times}10^{-5}-1.0{\times}10^{-1}$ M with super nernstian slope of 28.0 mV/decade and the detection limit of $8.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M. The proposed ion selective electrode showed fast response time (< 15 s), wide pH range (3.0-7.0), high non-aqueous tolerance (up to 20%) and adequate long life time (120 days). It also exhibited very good selectivity for $Fe^{3+}$ relative to a wide variety of alkali, alkaline earth, transition and heavy metal ions. Further, the analytical applicability of the sensor was tested as an indicator electrode in the potentiometric titration of $Fe^{3+}$ with EDTA.

  • This paper examines the temperature characteristics of an Optical CT (optical current transformer) using the Faraday effect for measuring high current in a super high voltage-power apparatus. It is performed as follows by the sensor for embodying Faraday effect. $\cdot$ A single-mode optical fiber capable of maintaining a polarization state is used. $\cdot$ A light source is applied at 1310[nm] to a Laser Diode. $\cdot$ The Linear of Faraday effect to a large current is evaluated and $\cdot$ A possible application using an Optical CT was shown. An Influence of Faraday effect to the surrounding temperature measured -40~50[$^{\circ}C$], and the characteristic of the current sensitivity was reported. An application using the results of the temperature compensation system was used in order to compensate for surrounding temperatures. A possibility of applying Optical CT for electric power apparatus was advanced further. We were able to confirm that this temperature calibration method can minimize the fluctuation of the output signal depending on the temperature conditions.

  • In the conventional crystallization method, thepoly-Si TFTs show poor device-to-device uniformity because of the random location of the grain boundaries. However, our new crystallization method introduced in this paper employed substrate-embedded seeds on the highly ordered anodic alumina template to control both the location of seeds and the number of grain boundaries intentionally. In the process of excimer laser crystallization (ELC), a-Si film deposited on the anodic alumina by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) is transformed into fine poly-Si grains by explosive crystallization (XC) prior to primary melting. At the higher energy density, the film is nearly completely melted and laterally grown by super lateral growth (SLG) from remained small part of the fine poly-Si grains as seeds at the Si/anodic alumina interface. Resultant grain boundaries have almost linear functions of the number of seeds in concavities of anodic alumina which have a constant spacing. It reveals the uniformity of. device can be enhanced prominently by controlling location and size of pores which contains fine poly~Si seeds under artificial anodizing condition.

  • A low-profile flow sensor has been designed, fabricated, and characterized to demonstrate the feasibility for monitoring hemodynamics in cerebral aneurysm. The prototype device is composed of three micro-membranes ($500-{\mu}m$-thick polyurethane film with $6-{\mu}m$-thick layers of nitinol above and below). A novel super-hydrophilic surface treatment offers excellent hemocompatibility for the thin nitinol electrode. A computational study of the deformable mechanics optimizes the design of the flow sensor and the analysis of computational fluid dynamics estimates the flow and pressure profiles within the simulated aneurysm sac. Experimental studies demonstrate the feasibility of the device to monitor intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics in a blood vessel. The mechanical compression test shows the linear relationship between the applied force and the measured capacitance change. Analytical calculation of the resonant frequency shift due to the compression force agrees well with the experimental results. The results have the potential to address important unmet needs in wireless monitoring of intra-aneurysm hemodynamic quiescence.

  • Statement of Problem: Recently, resin cements have become more widely used and have been accepted as prominent luting cements. Current resin cements exhibit less microleakage than conventional luting cements. However, the constant contact with water and exposure to occlusal forces increase microleakage even in resin cements inevitably. Most bonding resins have been modified to contain a hydrophilic resin such as 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) to overcome some of the problems associated with the hydrophobic nature of bonding resins. By virtue of these modifications, bonding resins absorb a significant amount of water, and there may also be significant stresses at bonding interfaces, which may adversely affect the longevity of restorations. Therefore the reinforcement of water stability of resin cement is indispensable in future study. Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the influence of water retention on microleakage of two resin cements over the period of 6 months. Materials and Methods: 32 extracted human teeth were used to test the microleakage of a single full veneer crown. Two resin cements with different components and adhesive properties - Panavia F (Kuraray Co., Osaka, Japan) and Super-Bond C&B (Sun Medical Co., Kyoto, Japan)- were investigated. The storage medium was the physiological saline solution changed every week for 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. One group was tested after storage for 1 day. At the end of the each storage period, all specimens were exposed to thermocycling from $5^{\circ}C$ to $55^{\circ}C$ of 500 cycles and chewing simulation of 50,000 cycles, and then stained with 50% silver nitrate solution. The linear penetration of microleakage was measured using a stereoscopic microscope at ${\times}40$ magnification and a digital traveling micrometer with an accuracy of ${\pm}3{\mu}m$. Values were analyzed using two-way ANOVA test, Duncan's multiple range tests (DMRT). Results : Statistically significant difference of microleakage was shown in the 3-month group compared with the1-day or 1-month group in both systems (p<0.05) and there were statistically significant differences in microleakage between the 3-month group and the 6-month group in both systems (p<0.05). The two systems showed different tendency in the course of increased microleakage during 3 months. In Panavia F, microleakage increased slowly throughout the periods. In Super-Bond C&B, there was no significant increase of microleakage for 1 month, but there was statistically significant increase of microleakage for the next 2 months. For the mean microleakage for each period, in the 3-month group, microleakage of Super-Bond C&B was significantly greater than that of Panavia F. On the other hand, in the 6-month group, microleakage of Panavia F was significantly greater than that of Super-Bond C&B (p<0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitation of this study, water retention of two different bonding systems influence microleakage of resin cements. Further studies with the longer observation periods in viro are required in order to investigate water stability and the bonding durability of the resin cement. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS Microleakage at the Cement-tooth interfaces did not necessarily result in the failure of the crowns. But it is considered to be a major factor influening the longerity of restorations. Further clinical approaches for decreasing the amount of microleakage are required.

  • This study was conducted to find out the effect of several improvers such as triple super phosphate, slaked lime, wollastonite and gypsum for reducing Cd content in brown rice. Several improvers were applied to two different types of soils which are contaminated with copper-zinc mine wasted and sludge.(Soil I contained Cd : 7.88, Cu : 57.9, Zn : 175.0 ppm, Soil II contained Cd : 3.95, Cu : 30.2, Zn :124.0 ppm) In general, effects of improvers on reducing content of Cd, Cu and Zn in brown rice were greater in soil I than soil II. In soil I, the Cd content of brown rice was reduced to 0.4ppm below by application of triple superphosphate, fused phosphate, slaked lime and gypsum, 98, 225, 190 and 276Kg/10a, respectively. Triple superphosphate was more effective than fused phosphate in reducing uptake of Cd, Cu and Zn by applying them as an equal amount of phosphorous, also to equal alkalinity, slaked lime had the highest effect. Negatively linear effect was found between soil pH and Cd and Zn content in brown rice. As to above results, it was no doubt that triple superphosphate, fused phosphate and slaked lime would be applied to reduced heavy metals in brown rice. The slaked lime, triple super phosphate and fused phosphate were available to reduce uptake of Cd, Cu and Zn by rice plant grown in the soil contaminated with mine waste and sludge.

  • Seven year old ginseng was investigated for yield , the relationship between yield and percent missing plant and red ginseng quality. Yield was 2.06 kg/kan (3.3 m2) and percent missing plant was 27.1%. The highest yield plot showed 3.58 kg/kan and potential yield appeared to be 4.5 kg/kan. Yields of 1st, End and 3rd line showed significant negative linear correlation with percent missing plant. Potential yield without missing plant was in decreasing order of 1>2)3>5) 4 and negatively correlated with unit yield decrease per percent missing plant. Potential yield of 1st line was 6.56 kg/tan. Soft X-ray absorbtion characteristics was not different from that of 6 year old ginseng. Red ginseng grade and percent occurence of red ginseng quality factors were not different from those of 6 years old ginseng. The weight of red ginseng per root was much greater than that of 6 years ginseng. In view of yield and quality of fresh and red ginseng the production of red ginseng from 7 years old ginseng appears to be economically feasible.

  • 반세기가 지나는 동안 우리는 반도체의 크기가 계속해서 작아지는 것을 경험해왔다. 반도체 디바이스들의 차원이 100 nm 이하로 작아지면서, 나노와이어나 나노튜브로 이루어진 나노 소자들은 필연적으로 양자효과[1] 같은 저차원효과가 나타나게 된다. 특히 1차원 반도체 구조에서는 전자상태 밀도의 변화에 수반되는 전자-포논의 상호작용이 감소되어 전자이동도가 증가할 것으로 예측되었고, 이러한 이동도의 증가는 그동안 나노와이어나 나노튜브의 전기 전도도 증가가 일어난 실험적 데이터를 설명하는 이론적 받침이 되었다[2]. 한편 일차원 반도체 구조 체에서는 채널의 저차원화에 따른 전기장의 불균일성이 심화되고 이로 인하여 벌크와 매우 다른 전기수송 특성이 나타날 수 있는데 이러한 점이 그동안 간과되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 양자효과를 배제한 정전기적인 저차원 효과만으로도 전기 전도도가 증가할 수 있음을 보이고자 한다. 우리는 푸아송 방정식과 표동-확산 방정식을 SILVACO사의 ATLAS 3D 시뮬레이터를 이용하여 풀었다. 이 시뮬레이션에 사용된 실리콘 나노와이어는 길이를 $2{\mu}m$로 고정시키고 다양한 정사각형 단면적을 가진 구조로 하였다. 여기서 정사각형의 한변을 10nm 에서 100 nm까지 변화시켰다. 실리콘 채널의 도핑농도가 $1{{\times}}1016cm-3$일 경우, 낮은 전압, 즉 < 0.5 V 이하 영역에서는 벌크와 같은 선형적인 전류-전압 특성이 나타나지만, 그 이상의 전압 영역에서는 전류-전압 그래프가 위로 휘어지며(super-linear) 전기전도도가 확연히 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 예를 들어 2 V에서는 벌크에 비하여 흐르는 전류가 2배나 더 향상되었다. 이런 비선형적인 성질은 높은 전압을 인가하였을 때 나노와이어 채널 전반에 걸쳐 charge neutrality가 깨지게 되고 전하밀도가 증가하여 전도도 증가가 일어나는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 이 결과는 기존의 나노선에서의 전기전도도 증가 현상을 설명할 수 있는 대안을 제공할 수 있다.

  • Gas turbines operating in dusty or sandy environment polluted with micron-sized solid particles are highly prone to blade surface erosion damage in compressor stages and molten sand attack in the hot-sections of turbine stages. Commercial/Military fixed-wing aircraft engines and helicopter engines often have to operate over sandy terrains in the middle eastern countries or in volcanic zones; on the other hand gas turbines in marine applications are subjected to salt spray, while the coal-burning industrial power generation turbines are subjected to fly-ash. The presence of solid particles in the working fluid medium has an adverse effect on the durability of these engines as well as performance. Typical turbine blade damages include blade coating wear, sand glazing, Calcia-Magnesia-Alumina-Silicate (CMAS) attack, oxidation, plugged cooling holes, all of which can cause rapid performance deterioration including loss of aircraft. The focus of this research work is to simulate particle-surface kinetic interaction on typical turbomachinery material targets using non-linear dynamic impact analysis. The objective of this research is to understand the interfacial kinetic behaviors that can provide insights into the physics of particle interactions and to enable leap ahead technologies in material choices and to develop sand-phobic thermal barrier coatings for turbine blades. This paper outlines the research efforts at the U.S Army Research Laboratory to come up with novel turbine blade multifunctional protective coatings that are sand-phobic, sand impact wear resistant, as well as have very low thermal conductivity for improved performance of future gas turbine engines. The research scope includes development of protective coatings for both nickel-based super alloys and ceramic matrix composites.
