인화점은 공기와 섞인 가연성 증기의 농도가 발화하기에 충분할 때의 최저 온도로, 가연성 액체 용액의 화재 및 폭발 위험성을 분석하는데 사용되는 주된 물리적 특성치이다. 단일 성분의 인화점 정보는 여러 문헌에서 얻을 수 있으나, 가연성 이성분계 혼합물의 인화점은 충분히 제공되어 있지 않다. 본 연구의 목적은 이성분계 가연성 액체 혼합물인 아세트산-포름산계의 인화점을 측정하고, 산출하는 것이다. 인화점 측정은 Cleveland 개방식 장치를 사용하였고, 실험값은 van Laar 식과 Wilson 식을 활용한 최적화 기법에 의해 산출된 값과 비교하였다. 그리고 라울의 법칙에 의해 산출된 값과 비교되었다. 그 결과, 최적화 기법에 의한 산출값이 Rauolt의 법칙에 의한 산출값보다 실험값에 보다 근접하였다.

최근에 정보네트워크 사용자의 급증에 따라 DDS(Distributed Database System)는 VAN(Value Added Network)상에서 구현되었다. DDS는 지역적으로 분산된 작업환경에서 중앙집중식 데이터베이스 구축보다 여러 측면에서 장점이 있으나 불합리한 설계는 컴퓨터 및 네트워크 자원의 비효율적 사용에 의한 비용의 증가와 데이터 유지를 위한 복잡도의 증가를 야기한다. DDS 설계시 각 사이트에서 적절한 컴퓨터를 선택하는 문제와 단편화된 데이터를 적절한 사이트에 할당하는 문제가 중요하다. VAN 상에서 컴퓨터 선택과 데이터 파일의 할당은 응답대기시간(waited response time)과 투자비용(investment cost)의 상관관계를 반드시 고려하여 결정되어야 하므로, 본 논문에서는 각 컴퓨터와 파일의 할당의 영향에 따라 두 목적함수의 상관관계를 고려한다. 특히, 응답대기 시간에 대한 보다 실제적인 평가를 위해 M/M/1 큐잉 시스템을 기초로 하여 설계한다. 제안된 설계모델은 경험적 탐색법 중의 하나인 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)의 적용을 통해 효율적인 해의 탐색을 시도하고 제안된 수학적 모델과 알고리즘의 성능 검토를 위해 모의실험 및 결과분석을 한다.

Background: Recovery from fatigue is important in maintaining night workers' health. This study compared the course of self-reported recovery after 2-week 12-hour schedules consisting of either night shifts or swing shifts (i.e., 7 night shifts followed by 7 day shifts) to such schedules consisting of only day work. Methods: Sixty-one male offshore employees-20 night workers, 16 swing shift workers, and 25 day workers-rated six questions on fatigue (sleep quality, feeling rested, physical and mental fatigue, and energy levels; scale 1-11) for 14 days after an offshore tour. After the two night-work schedules, differences on the $1^{st}$ day (main effects) and differences during the follow-up (interaction effects) were compared to day work with generalized estimating equations analysis. Results: After adjustment for confounders, significant main effects were found for sleep quality for night workers (1.41, 95% confidence interval 1.05-1.89) and swing shift workers (1.42, 95% confidence interval 1.03-1.94) when compared to day workers; their interaction terms were not statistically significant. For the remaining fatigue outcomes, no statistically significant main or interaction effects were found. Conclusion: After 2-week 12-hour night and swing shifts, only the course for sleep quality differed from that of day work. Sleep quality was poorer for night and swing shift workers on the $1^{st}$ day off and remained poorer for the 14-day follow-up. This showed that while working at night had no effect on feeling rested, tiredness, and energy levels, it had a relatively long-lasting effect on sleep quality.

Amberlite XAD-2 및 XAD-7 수지에 대한 페놀과 그 할로겐 일치환체들에 대한 흡착성을 분포계수를 측정하여 조사하였다. XAD 수지에 대한 페놀의 흡착은 Langmuir 등온흡착으로 설명될 수 있었으며, 이 때의 흡착은 분자의 크기에 따르는, 즉 분산상호작용에 기인하는 전형적인 물리흡착임을 알았다. 고분자 합성수지에 대한 페놀류의 흡착에너지는 Lennard-Jones potential로 계산하였다. 이 때 고분자 수지의 반지름은 수지의 최소기본단위의 van der Waals 부피로부터 계산하였으며 페놀류의 분자 반지름도 같은 방법으로 구하였다. 페놀유도체들의 흡착성은 각 수지에 대한 시료의 Stacking factor (F)-고분자 수지와 페놀류사이의 van der Waals 부피로부터 구한 평형거리의 보정인자-로부터 흡착에너지를 구하고 뱃치법으로 측정한 흡착엔탈피값과 비교함으로써 설명할 수 있었다. 각 수지에 대한 페놀이온의 흡착엔탈피는 쌍극자 작용력이나 하전-쌍극자 상호작용보다 분산상호작용이 주 요인인 것으로 나타났다.

Objectives: It is known that bioactive materials interact with the dentin to undergo biomineralization. The exact role of moisture in this interaction is unknown. Here, we investigate the effects of dentin moisture conditions on the dislocation resistance of two bioactive root canal sealers (MTA Fillapex [Angelus Solucoes Odontologicas] and GuttaFlow BioSeal [Colténe/Whaledent AG]) at 3 weeks and 3 months after obturation. Materials and Methods: Mandibular premolars (n = 120) were prepared and randomly divided into 3 groups based on the dentin condition: group 1, dry dentin; group 2, moist dentin; group 3, wet dentin. Each group was divided into 2 subgroups for root canal filling: MTA Fillapex and GuttaFlow BioSeal. Dislocation resistance was evaluated by measuring the push-out bond strength at 3 weeks and 3 months. Failure modes were examined under a stereomicroscope. Data were statistically analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of 5%. Results: Moist dentin resulted in higher bond strength values for both materials at both time points. This was significantly higher than wet and dry dentin for both the sealers at the 3 months (p < 0.05), while at 3 weeks it was significant only for GuttaFlow Bioseal. The different moisture conditions demonstrated similar trends in their effects on the dislocation resistance of the 2 root canal sealers. Conclusions: The dentin moisture conditions had a significant impact on its interaction with the bioactive materials tested. Maintaining moist dentin, but not dry or wet dentin, may be advantageous before the filling root canals with bioactive sealers.

단결정의 덩어리 시료로부터 박리된 NbSe₂와 FeSe 박막을 이용한 동종 초전도 vdW 접합을 만들고 저온전도측정을 통해 JJ 효과를 확인하였다. 각 물질의 초전도 틈을 측정하였으며 기존 결과와 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. FeSe 접합의 경우 NbSe₂ 접합과 다르게 JJ가 구현되지 않는 경우가 다수 발생하는데 이는 NbSe₂와 구분되는 FeSe의 특성때문으로 보이며 일관성있는 JJ 구현을 위해서 저온 접합이나 접합 각도 의존성을 통한 향후 연구가 필요하다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 본 연구 결과는 FeSe 2차원 결정을 이용해 JJ가 잘 구현될 수 있음을 실험적으로 보인 첫 사례로서 그 의의를 갖는다.

It is suggested that magnetosonic waves (also known as equatorial noise) can scatter radiation belt electrons in the Earth's magnetosphere. Therefore, it is important to understand the global distribution of these waves between the proton cyclotron frequency and the lower hybrid resonance frequency. In this study, we developed an empirical model for estimating the global distribution of magnetosonic wave amplitudes and wave normal angles. The model is based on the entire mission period (approximately 2012-2019) of observations of Van Allen Probes A and B as a function of the distance from the Earth (denoted by L^*), magnetic local time (MLT), magnetic latitude (λ), and geomagnetic activity (denoted by the Kp index). In previous studies the wave distribution inside and outside the plasmasphere were separately investigated and modeled. Our model, on the other hand, identifies the wave distribution along with the ambient plasma environment-defined by the ratio of the plasma frequency (f_pe) to the electron cyclotron frequency (f_ce)-without separately determining the wave distribution according to the plasmapause location. The model results show that, as Kp increases, the dayside wave amplitude in the equatorial region intensifies. It thereby propagates the intense region towards the wider MLT and inward to L^* < 4. In contrast, the f_pe/f_ce ratio decreases with increasing Kp for all regions. Nevertheless, the decreasing aspect differs between regions above and below L^* = 4. This finding implies that the particle energy and pitch angle that magnetosonic waves can effectively scatter vary depending on the locations and geomagnetic activity. Our model agrees with the statistically observed wave distribution and ambient plasma environment with a coefficient of determination of > 0.9. The model is valid in all MLTs, 2 ≤ L^* < 6, |λ| < 20°, and Kp ≤ 6.

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has increased the workload of healthcare workers (HCWs), impacting their health. This study aimed to assess sleep quality using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and identify factors associated with poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 1000 frontline HCWs were recruited from various healthcare facilities in Vietnam between October 2021 and November 2021. Data were collected using a 3-part self-administered questionnaire, which covered demographics, sleep quality, and factors related to poor sleep. Poor sleep quality was defined as a total PSQI score of 5 or higher. Results: Participants' mean age was 33.20±6.81 years (range, 20.0-61.0), and 63.0% were women. The median work experience was 8.54±6.30 years. Approximately 6.3% had chronic comorbidities, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. About 59.5% were directly responsible for patient care and treatment, while 7.1% worked in tracing and sampling. A total of 73.8% reported poor sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression revealed significant associations between poor sleep quality and the presence of chronic comorbidities (odds ratio [OR], 2.34; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.17 to 5.24), being a frontline HCW directly involved in patient care and treatment (OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.16 to 2.16), increased working hours (OR, 1.84; 95% CI,1.37 to 2.48), and a higher frequency of encountering critically ill and dying patients (OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.95). Conclusions: The high prevalence of poor sleep among HCWs in Vietnam during the COVID-19 pandemic was similar to that in other countries. Working conditions should be adjusted to improve sleep quality among this population.

In this study a cantilevered carbon nanotube(CNT) switch was investigated with the linear and the nonlinear structural models incorporating the electrostatic force and van der Waals interactions between the CNT and ground surface. Due to the applied voltage and van der Waals interactions the CNT deforms statically and dynamically and finally pull into the surface. When the nonlinear model is considered in case of the relatively large gap between the CNT and the surface, the static pull-in voltage was increased due to the nonlinear hardening effect. Also the dynamic response was investigated with the different external dc and ac voltages. The CNT shows various dynamic behaviors and instabilities including dynamic pull-in. Based on this study, further research on the dynamic and nonlinear stability of CNT nanodevices should be requested to develop the new type of nano switches or nano-memory.

In this paper, we propose a method to avoidance obstacle in which we assume that obstacle has an unstable limit cycle in the chaos trajectory surface. In order to avoid the obstacle, we assume that all obstacles in the chaos trajectory surface in which has an unstable limit cycle with Van der Pol equation. In this paper show also that computer simulation results are satisfy to avoid obstacle in the chaos trajectory with Chua's circuit equation of one or multi obstacle has an limit cycle with Van der Pol (VDP) efuation and compare to rate of cover in one robot which have random walk and Chua's equation.
