In this research, evaluation of adhesion in tension property of SBR-modified concrete to ordinary portland cement concrete was conducted with uniaxial direct tensile bond test which was proposed by Kuhlmann. A test set-up was fabricated in order to minimize the eccentric force by introducing a joint which might fully rotate. The main experimental variables were cement-latex ratios, surface preparations and moisture levels. The results obtained were as follows: The LMC specimen at 15% latex-cement ratio increased the adhesion in tension by range of 37% compared to that of conventional cement concrete. This might be due to latex film formed between cement paste and aggregate. The effects of surface preparation on bond of latex modified concrete to conventional concrete were significant at the conditions by sand paper and wire brush. A better bond could be achieved by rough surface rather than smooth. The saturated and surface dry (SSD) condition were considered to be the most appropriate moisture level followed by wet, finally by dry. Thus, a proper surface preparation and moisture level are quite necessity in order to obtain better bonding at LMC overlay.

The purpose of this study is an evaluation of the performance of a detector under radiographic irradiation condition by fabricating the polycrystalline $HgI_2$ film detector. The polycrystalline $HgI_2$ film detectors with thickness of 210 and $320\;{\mu}m$ were fabricated by screen print technology. Measurements of X-ray sensitivity and dark current were performed for two detectors. And measurements of the linearity of X-ray response and reproducibility were performed for the detector of thickness $320\;{\mu}m$. For applied electric field strengths from 0.05 to $2\;V/{\mu}m$ to the detector of thickness $320\;{\mu}m$, the X-ray sensitivities were measured from 233 to $1,408{\times}106\;electrons/mR{\cdot}mm^2$. And the dark currents were measured from 3.2 to $118\;pA/mm^2$. Compared with values reported by Zhong Su et al., the X-ray sensitivities exhibit about two times larger than the X-ray sensitivities measured by Zhong Su et al. And the dark currents exhibit about nine times larger than the dark currents measured by Zhong Su et al. The linearity of X-ray response acquired 0.988 as a coefficient of correlation (r). Reproducibility acquired 0.002 as a coefficient of variation. This study provides the performance data of fabricated polycrystalline $HgI_2$ film detector available for an active matrix flat panel imager under radiographic irradiation condition.

The intrauterine irradiation is essential to achieve adequate tumor dose to central tumor mass of uterine malignancy in radiotherapy. The complications of pelvic organ are known to be directly related to radiation dose and physical parameters. The simulation radiation and medical records of 203 patients who were treated with intrauterine irradiation from Feb. 1983 to Oct. 1983, were critically analized. The physical parameters to include distances between lateral walls of vaginal fornices, longitudinal and lateral angles of tandem applicator to the body axis, the distance from the external os of uterine cervix to the central axis of ovoids were measured for low dose rate irradiation system and high dose rate remote control afterloading system. The radiation doses and dose distributions within cervical area including interesting points and bladder, rectum, according to sources arrangement and location of applicator, were estimated with personal computer. Followings were summary of study results ; 1. In distances between lateral walls of vaginal fornices, the low dose rate system showed as $4\~7cm$ width and high dose rate system showed as $5\~6cm$. 2. In horizontal angulation of tandem to body axis, the low dose rate system revealed mid position$64.6\%$, left deviation $19.2\%$and right deviation $16.2\%$. 3. In longitudinal angulation of tandem to body axis, the mid position was $11.8\%$ and anterior angulation $88.2\%$ in low dose rate system but in high dose rate system, anterior angulation was $98.5\%$. 4. Down ward displacement of ovoids below external os was only $3\%$ in low dose rate system and $66.7\%$ in high dose rate system. 5. In radiation source arrangement, the most activities of tandem and ovoid were 35 by 30 in low dose rate system but 50 by 40 in high dose rate system. 6. In low and high dose rate system, the total doses an4 TDF were 50, 70 Gy and 141, 123, including 40 Gy external irradiation. 7.

The accuracy of ultrasonography for determining the presence of a functional corpus luteum in subestrous dairy cows was investigated, using a radioimmunoassay for progesterone in plasma. Luteal status (high or low progesterone concentrations) was diagnosed in 534 cows, using B-mode transrectal ultrasonography. Accuracy of ultrasonography was 96.3% and 88.8% in the cows with and without functional corpus luteum, respectively. In 362 cows diagnosed with functional corpus luteum by ultrasonographic examination, 20 cows were diagnosed with the non-functional corpus luteum by analysis of plasma progesterone concentrations (false positive). In 172 cows with non-functional corpus luteum by ultrasonographic examination, 13 cows were diagnosed with the functional corpus luteum based on plasma progesterone assay (false negative). Most of the corpus luteum with well-defined border and homogeneous echotexture were diagnosed with functional corpus luteum. All cows that were not detected a corpus luteum by ultrasonographic examination were diagnosed as non-functional corpus luteum. The corpus luteum of cows that were diagnosed with false positive appeared homogeneous echotexture and above 15 mm in diameter, but the corpus luteum was the non-functional corpus luteum within Day 5 (Day 0 is ovulation day) or after Day 19. The corpus luteum of cows that were diagnosed with false negative appeared heterogeneous echogenicity and below 15 mm in diameter, but the corpus luteum was the functional corpus luteum after Day 5 or around Day 17. It was concluded that accuracy of ultrasonography was excellent for determining the presence of a functional corpus luteum in subestrous dairy cows. The corpus luteum that was diagnosed with false positive or false negative was the developing or regressing states. Thus, ultrasonography was required a serial examination of two or three times accurately diagnosing these corpus luteum.

Geochemical and ecological properties of remediated soil and gas exhausted from a low-temperature thermal desorption (LTTD) process were analyzed to assess the environmental impact of LTTD treatment. Soil characteristics were examined with regard to the chemical (EC, CEC, and organic matter) and the ecological (dehydrogenase activity, germination rate of Brassica juncea, and growth of Eisenia andrei) properties. The exhaust gases were analyzed based on the Air Quality Act in Korea as well as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and mixed odor. Level of organic Organic matter of the soil treated by LTTD process was slightly decreased compared to that of the original soil because the heating temperature ($200^{\circ}C$) and retention time (less than 15 minutes) were neither high nor long enough for the oxidation of organic matter. The LTTD process results in reducing TPH of the contaminated soil from $5,133{\pm}508$ mg/kg to $272{\pm}107$ mg/kg while preserving soil properties. Analysis results of the exhaust gases from the LTTD process satisfied discharge standard of Air Quality Law in Korea. Concentration of VOCs including acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde and valeraldehyde in circulation gas volatilized from contaminated soil were effectively reduced in the regenerative thermal oxidizer and all satisfied the legal standards. Showing ecologically improved properties of contaminated soil after LTTD process and environmentally tolerable impact of the exhaust gas, LTTD treatment of TPH-contaminated soil is an environmentally acceptable technology.

환경오염과 이상기후의 영향으로 인한 수자원의 고갈과 함께 국내의 경우 수자원 개발 계획 및 수요량을 감안할 때 향후 7 년 내에 물부족 현상을 겪을 것이라는 보고가 있 었으며, 환경부담을 줄이기 위해 폐수의 배출기준은 강화되고 있다. 이러한 상황에서 제조 특성상 타 업종에 비해 폐수 발생량이 높은 편인 국내의 제지산업은 여러 해전부터 이에 대 한 방안을 모색하여 왔다. 일반적으로 폐수 수질 관리와 청수 사용량의 절감을 위해 고가의 폐수 처리 장치를 설치하거나 폐수 재활용을 통해 공정을 극도로 폐쇄화하는 방안으로 연구 가 진행되어 왔다. 이 중 용수의 재활용이 가장 경제적인 방법이지만, 재활용이 지속될수록 각종 무기염과 콜로이드성 유기물질이 축적되어 각종 약품의 효능 저하, 탈수속도의 저하 및 생산 제품의 품질 악화 등의 문제를 유발한다고 알려져 있다. 이를 해결하고자 하는 노 력으로 펄프 원료에 따른 공정수 내 용해성 물질의 분석과 재활용 횟수에 따른 각종 SS와 D DS의 축적 정도에 대한 기초 연구가 수행되었으며, 고폐쇄화된 공정에서 성능을 발휘할 수 있는 첨가제의 개발과 적용 방법에 대한 연구도 수행된 바 있다.여러 지종 가운데 골판지 원지는 용수의 재활용률이 상당히 높은 지종이기 때문에 공정수의 재활용이 진행될수록 열악한 저급 원료로부터 각종의 다양한 물질이 용출 혹은 배 출되며, 이러한‘물질은 골판지 원지의 강도 발현에 더욱 악영향을 미칠 것으로 판단되었다. 미세분으로 구성된 SS의 경우 이미 많은 연구를 통해 특성이 파악되었기 때문에 본 연구에 서는 ss를 제외한 공정수를 두 가지로 크게 나누어 고려하였다. 즉, ss로 측정되지 않지만 닥도를 유발할 수 있는 미세 무기물질과, 용해성의 무기염, 첨가제 및 추출물 둥으로 이루어 진 용해성 성분으로 나누어 분석하였으며, 또한 각각이 초지 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보 고자 하였다.을 해석코자 하였으며, 그 방법으 로 수치해석기법을 도입하였다. 또 실제 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화를 측정하여 유리전이온도 의 도달 깊이와 비교하였다. 지필의 압축 정도는 롤의 직경과 닙 폭을 이용하여 MD 방향으 로 함수화하였으며, 열전달 계수로는 겉보기 값을 사용하였다. 이때 지펼은 균질한 것으로 가 정하였다. 함수율은 유리전이온도를 좌우하는 가장 큰 인자이나 본 연구에서는 항온항습처리 를 통해 유입지의 함수율을 고정시켰으며 캘린더링 시 함수율의 변이는 없다고 가정하였다. 그 결과 열침투깊이가 증가할수록 지필은 보다 변형되기 쉬운 상태가 되어 주어진 압력 조건에 대해 소성변형 정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 캘린더링 전후에 두께 변화를 측정하여 정량적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 수치해석기법을 통해 같은 압력 조건에서 온도가 증 가함에 따라 혹은 같은 온도 조건에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 지필 내의 유리전이온도의 침투 깊이가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이는 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화의 측정 결과와 일치하였 다. 또 NRT가 증가함에 따라서도 유리전이온도 침투 깊이가 증가하였다.합편에 비해 일부 우수한 양상을 보였지만 본 실험의 범위내에서는 통계적 정량적 차이를 제시할 수는 없었다. 향후 보다 광범위한 동물 실험이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.된다.하고도 완전교정술 도달 확률이 높은 치료전략이라는 사실을 입증하였으며 주대동맥폐동맥혈관부행지의 크기나 숫자가 단일화하기 쉬운 형태학적 특징을 지닌 경우에는 조기에 일단계완전교정술을 시행하여 양호한 결과를 얻을 수 있다는 사실을 발견하였다. 반면 본 환아군 중 단일화술을 먼저 시도한 군에서는 비록 단계적인 단일화를 시도한 군에서 단일화술과 관계된 수술사망율이 약간 낮기는 하였으나 완전교정술까지 완료될 가능성에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 이 경우 보다 정련된 적응 환자의 선택을 통한 단일화 우선전략의 시도와 장기 추

다이아몬드에 버금가는 높은 경도뿐만 아니라 높은 화학적 안정성 및 열전도성 등 우수한 물리화학적 특성을 가진 입방정 질화붕소(cubic Boron Nitride)는 마찰.마모, 전자, 광학 등의 여러 분야에서의 산업적 응용이 크게 기대되는 자료이다. 특히 탄화물형성원소에 대해 안정하여 철계금속의 가공을 위한 공구재료로의 응용 또한 기대되는 재료이다. 특히 탄화물형성원소에 대해 안정하여 철계금속의 가공을 위한 공구재료로의 응용 또한 크게 기대된다. 이 때문에 각종의 PVD, CVD 공정을 이용하여 c-BN 박막의 합성에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 진행되어 많은 성공사례들이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이러한 c-BN 박막의 유용성에도 불구하고 아직 실제적인 응용이 이루어지지 못한 것은 증착직후 급격한 박리현상을 보이는 c-BN 박막의 밀착력문제때문이다. 본 연구에서는 평행자기장을 부가한 ME-ARE(Magnetically Enhanced Activated Reactive Evaporation)법을 이용하여 c-BN 박막을 합성하고, 합성된 c-BN 박막의 밀착력에 미치는 공정인자의 영향을 규명하여, 급격한 박리현상을 보이는 c-BN 박막의 밀착력 향상을 위한 최적 공정을 도출하고자 하였다. BN 박막 합성은 전자총에 의해 증발된 보론과 (질소+아르곤) 플라즈마의 활성화반응증착(activated reactive evaporation)에 의해 이루어졌다. 기존의 ARE장치와 달리 열음극(hot cathode)과 양극(anode)사이에 평행자기장을 부여하여 플라즈마를 증대시켜 반응효율을 높혔다. 합성실험용 모재로는 p-type으로 도핑된 (100) Si웨이퍼를 30$\times$40 mm크기로 절단 후, 100%로 희석된 완충불산용액에 10분간 침적하여 표면의 산화층을 제거한후 사용하였다. c-BN 박막을 얻기 위한 주요공정변수는 기판바이어스 전압, discharge 전류, Ar/N가스유량비이었다. 증착공정 인자들을 변화시켜 다양한 조건에서 c-BN 박막의 합성하여 밀착력 변화를 조사하였다. 합성된 박막의 결정성 분석을 FTIR을 이용하였으며, Bn 박막의 상 및 미세구조관찰을 위해 투과전자현미경(TEM;Philips EM400T) 분석을 병행하였고, 박막의 기계적 물성 평가를 위해 미소경도를 측정하였다. 증착된 c-BN 박막은 3~10 GPa의 큰 잔류응력으로 인해 증착직후 급격한 박리현상을 보였다. 이의 개선을 위해 증착중 기판바이어스 제어 및 후열처리를 통해 밀착력을 수~수백배 향상시킬 수 있었다. c-BN 박막의 합성을 위해서는 증착중인 박막표면으로 큰 에너지를 갖는 이온의 충돌이 필요하기 때문에 기판 바이어스가 요구되는데, c-BN의 합성단계를 핵생성 단계와 성장 단계로 구분하여 인가한 기판바이어스를 달리하였다. 이 결과 그림 1에서 나타낸 것처럼 c-BN 박막의 핵생성에 필요한 기판바이어스의 50% 정도만을 인가하였을 때 잔류응력은 크게 경감되었으며, 밀착력이 크게 향상되었다.

Recently, Hybrid Navigation Systems combining Omega, NNSS, Loran C and Dead reckoning etc. served to give us highly accurate ship's position, and a number of ships are equipped with these navigation systems. In order to evaluate for the accuracy of this navigation system observations of Loran C, 5970 and 9970 chains and Radar at the same time were made on board m.s Jeonbuk 401 and 403 training ships of Gunsan Fisheries Collage at nine stations in the yellow sea from July, 1982 to June, 1983, and then were done by the Hybrid Navigation System combining Dead reckoning and Loran C at the same areas. The authors investigated the accuracy of the Hybrid Navigation System based on measurements of the relative positional error which is defined as the difference between the position fixed by this system or the Loran C system, and the one by the Radar. The obtained results are as follows; 1. The mean standard deviation of the time difference of Loran C were about 0.21$\mu$s in 9970 chain and about 0.06$\mu$s in 5970 chain, and the fluctuation of the time difference of Loran C in 5970 chain was smaller than that in 9970 chain. 2. The positional error between two positions by Radar and the Hybrid Navigation System in 9970 chain was about 0.4 miles, and between two positions by Radar and Loran C was about 0.51 miles. The Hybrid Navigation System was therefore more accurate than Loran C System. 3. The positional error between two positions by Radar and Hybrid Navigation System in 5970 chain was about 0.4 miles, and between two positions by Radar and computer simulation of Loran C was about 0.98 miles. Consequently, Hybrid Navigation System was more accurate than computer simulation of Loran C system.

Synthesis of the non-swelling property micas was carried out by hydrothermal method. In order to artificially induce the diffusion of ions, a rotating system was attached to the hydrothermal apparatus and by adding 0.7 mm zircon beads, synthesis of the non-swelling property micas could be performed in a low temperature area. The hydrothermal conditions for the preparation of micas were a reaction temperature of $260^{\circ}C$, for 72 hrs, using $1K_2O,\;1Al(OH)_3,\;4Mg(OH)_2\;and\;6SiO_2$ as the starting materials and a 8M-KOH solution as the hydrothermal solvent. The micas obtained under these conditions were a plate shape with a size of $2.89{\mu}m$ and showed a whiteness of over 97 %. Also, through the FT-IR analysis, because the absorption peak of the $Mg_3OH$ vibration was observed at approximately $3700cm^{-1}$, it could be known that it was phlogopite of non-swelling property showing the chemical composition of $KMg_3AlSi_3O_{10}(OH)_2$. This result was very consistent with the EDS analysis where O (41.34 %), Mg (3.88 %), Al (11.45 %), Si (17.62 %) and K (25.71%) elements were detected.
