Dental composites have improved significantly in physical properties over the past few decades. However, polymerization shrinkage and stress is still the major drawback of composites, limiting its use to selected cases. Much effort has been made to make low shrinking composites to overcome this issue and silorane-based composites have recently been introduced into the market. The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric polymerization shrinkage kinetics of a silorane-based composite and compare it with conventional methacrylate-based composites in order to evaluate its effectiveness in reducing polymerization shrinkage. Five commercial methacrylate-based (Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350 and Gradia X) and a silorane-based (P90) composites were investigated. The volumetric change of the composites during light polymerization was detected continuously as buoyancy change in distilled water by means of Archemedes' principle, using a newly made volume shrinkage measurement instrument. The null hypothesis was that there were no differences in polymerization shrinkage, peak polymerization shrinkage rate and peak shrinkage time between the silorane-based composite and methacrylate-based composites. The results were as follows: 1. The shrinkage of silorane-based (P90) composites was the lowest (1.48%), and that of Beautifil composite was the highest (2.80%). There were also significant differences between brands among the methacrylate-based composites. 2. Peak polymerization shrinkage rate was the lowest in P90 (0.13%/s) and the highest in Z100 (0.34%/s). 3. The time to reach peak shrinkage rate of the silorane-based composite (P90) was longer (6.7 s) than those of the methacrylate-based composites (2.4-3.1 s). 4. Peak shrinkage rate showed a strong positive correlation with the product of polymerization shrinkage and the inverse of peak shrinkage time (R = 0.95).

The purpose of this study was to measure the volumetric polymerization shrinkage kinetics and stress of a silorane-based dental restorative composite and compare it with those of conventional methacrylate-based dental composites. Two methacrylate-based composites (Z250, Z350 flowable) and one silorane-based composite (P90) were investigated. The volumetric polymerization shrinkage of the composites during light curing was measured using a laboratory-made volume shrinkage measurement instrument based on the Archimedes' principle, and the polymerization stress was also determined with the strain gage method. The shrinkage of silorane-based composites (P90) was the lowest, and that of Z350 flowable was the highest. Peak polymerization shrinkage rate was the lowest in P90 and the highest in Z350 flowable. The time to reach peak shrinkage rate of P90 was longer than those of the methacrylate-based composites. The polymerization shrinkage stress of P90 was lower than those of the methacrylate-based composites.

This study selected 22 male subjects to examine the maintenance period of static and ballistic stretching applied to rectus femoris, divided them into 11 static stretching group and 11 ballistic stretching group and analyzed changes in median frequency and in maximal voluntary isometric contraction before stretching and at 30 sec, 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, and 10 min after stretching. Median frequency showed significant differences in changes according to time and groups after the test of main effects. It was reduced after 3 min. in both static stretching and ballistic stretching groups and then increased again. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction showed significant differences in changes according to time and groups from the results of the main effect test. Static stretching group was reduced at 3 min after the experiment and then increased after that and ballistic stretching group was reduced at 5 min after the experiment and then increased again. In conclusion, changes were shown according to time after stretching and the effects of ballistic stretching were maintained a little longer than those of static stretching.

폴리프로필렌(PP)/폴리카보네이트(PC) 블렌드의 유변학적 고찰을 통해 블렌드의 수 축현상과 분상상의 변형의 연관성을 연구했다. 블렌드의 수축현상은 압축과정에서 변형됐던 분산상이 고온에서 다시 원래의 무변형 상태로 복귀하면서 나타나는 탄성변형의 풀림으로 추정되고 압출팽윤의 데이터와도 부합된다. 압출온도를 최대한 낮게 해서(25$0^{\circ}C$) 제조한 블 렌드의 경우가 최대한 높게 한 경우 (29$0^{\circ}C$)보다 수축이더 큰 사실을 설명하기 위하여 순수 PC와 PP의 전단점도비와 신장점도비를 측정 비교한 결과 두 값이 공히 높은 온도의 경우 가 오히려 작게 되어 점성에 의한 분산상의 전단변형이나 신장변형이 수축의 원인이 아니라 는 것을 알아다. 한편 법선응력과 전단응력의 데이터로부터 얻은 물질풀림시간의 비는 낮은 온도의 경우가 작아서 수축현상이 분산상의 탄성에 의한 변형이라는 것을 확인했다.

후두전적출술은 상부 소화관의 연속성을 변형시킴으로써, 식도운동의 장애를 가져올 수 있으며, 술 후에 연하곤란을 호소하는 경우는 10% 가량 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 식도내압검사를 통하여, 후두전적출술이 상부식도괄약근의 휴지기와 최대 압력에 어떠한 변화를 주는가 및 술 후 인두와 상부식도괄약근의 조화성 여부와, 만일 상부식도괄약근의 기능에 변화가 생긴다면, 그 영향이 식도체부 및 하부식도괄약근의 운동성에 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 알아보기 위함이다. 식도내압검사는 8개의 내관을 가진 폴리에틸렌 도관으로, 후두전적출술을 받은 환자군 14명과 정상인 12명을 대상으로, stational pull-through 방법으로 시행하였다. 환자군에서 상부 식도괄약근은, 휴지기 압력, 최대 수축압력, 이완정도, 괄략운동의 조화성 및 괄약근의 길이 등이, 정상 대조군 보다 의미있게 감소되었다. 환자군에 있어서 식도체부의 운동성은 주로 근위부 식도체부에서, 수축력, 수축기간 및 연동파의 전파시간이 대조군에 비하여 의미있게 감소되었고, 연동운동시 동시 수축도 3례에서 관찰되었다. 하부 식도괄약근의 기능은 환자군과 대조군이 의미있는 차이를 보이지 않았다.

폴리아크릴로니트릴을 NaOH로 가수분해시키면 carboxylate anion과 carboxamide기가 생성되며, 물을 흡수할 경우 sodium carboxylate기의 해리로 팽윤이 크게 일어나므로 고흡수성을 지니게 된다[l]. 일반적으로 섬유가 팽윤을 하면 수축하며, 가수분해된 폴리아크릴로니트릴 섬유는 흡수되는 물 속의 염의 농도 또는 pH에 따라 팽윤도가 다르기 때문에 가수분해된 시간과 pH조건 변화에 따라서 수축하는 정도가 다르다. 과거의 연구결과에 의하면 아크릴 섬유는 2M HCI에서 최소의 길이로 수축하며, 2M NaOH에서 최대의 길이가 나타난다고 하였다[2].

In this dissertation, the shrinkage and durability of shotcrete were examined. Analysis and comparison of shrinkage against the strength of shotcrete was investigated after performing actual shotcrete shooting for each mix of different percentage of expansive agent. The research on restrained shrinkage with different percentages of expansive agent used (3%, 7%, 11% and 15%) shows that the maximum shrinkage in all samples occurred in between 13-15 hrs after shotcrete shooting. And it is noticed that increasing the percentage of expansive agent can lower the shrinkage. And hence, the 15% of expansive agent not only lowered the shrinkage But it also lowered the strength.

Square slices of sea tangle was dried in constant condition of thickness (1.54mm), air temperature $(50^{\circ}C)$, relative humidity $(30\%)$ and air velocity (0.4m/s). The shrunk surface area and the shrinking rate were investigated. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1) Comparing the shrinking of transverse section with that of vertical section, the transverse section was proceeded more double shrinkage than vertical section. 2) The shrunk surface area curve showed nearly a linear shrinkage up to 90min of drying time. 3) The shrinking rate was rapidly increased in first falling rate period, and was largest in the early period of second falling rate period.

The aim of this study was to investigate difference of the muscle activation patterns of the upper body during wheelchair cycle ramps ascent of different slopes for disabled with spinal cord injury. Three subjects who is disabled with spinal cord injury participated in this study. Surface electromyography (EMG) data (reaction time [RT], onset-offset time, and peak value of muscle activation) were collected biceps, triceps, upper trapezius, anterior deltoid, latissimus dorsi, and upper rectus abdominal muscles during wheelchair cycle ramps ascent ($0^{\circ}$, $3^{\circ}$, and $6^{\circ}$). For latissimus dorsi muscle, RT and peak value of muscle activation was were increased and offset time was delayed as the slope increased (p < 0.05). These results indicate that wheelchair cycle ramps ascent might cause excessive overuse of latissimus dorsi muscle.

On contraction of the muscles, marked changes in X-ray reflections are observed, suggesting that conformational changes of contractile molecules and the movement of myosin heads during muscle contraction. It was found that the successive twitches decreased not only the time needed to the peak tension after the onset of stimulation but also the time needed to the maximum change of the X-ray intensity. However, the difference of the time between the peak tension and the maximum intensity change$(T_i-I_i)$ is nearly the same at any twitch.
