Nanocomposites reinforced with carbon nanotube fibers exhibit greater stiffness, strength and damping properties in comparison to conventional composites reinforced with carbon/glass fibers. Consequently, most of the nanocomposite research is focused in understanding the dynamic characteristics, which are highly useful in applications such as vibration control and energy harvesting. It has been observed that those nanocomposites show better stiffness when the geometry of nanotubes is straight as compared to curvilinear although nanotube agglomeration may exist. In this work the damping behavior of the nanocomposite is characterized in terms of loss factor under the presence of nanotube agglomerations. A micro stick-slip damping model is used to compute the damping properties of the nanocomposites with multiwall carbon nanotubes. The present formulation considers the slippage between the interface of the matrix and the nanotubes as well as the slippage between the interlayers in the nanotubes. The nanotube agglomerations model is also presented. Results are computed based on the loss factor expressed in terms of strain amplitude and nanotube agglomerations. The results show that although-among the various factors such as the material properties (moduli of nanotubes and polymer matrix) and the geometric properties (number of nanotubes, volume fraction of nanotubes, and critical interfacial shear stresses), the agglomeration of nanotubes significantly influences the damping properties of the nanocomposites. Therefore the full potential of nanocomposites to be used for damping applications needs to be analyzed under the influence of nanotube agglomerations.

멸치초망용 챗대의 유압 권양장치를 개발하기 위하여 모형 챗대와 그물을 실물의 1/5크기로 제작하여 챗대를 권양할 때의 장력을 측정하고, 이를 토대로 권양기 3종을 설계 제작하여 그 성능을 시험한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 챗대를 건양하는데 가장 큰 장력이 작용할 때는 챗대 끝이 수면 하 4m에 있을 때이었고, 이 때 챗대줄에 작용하는 장력은 187.5kgf이었다. 2. 멸치초망 어업에 적합한 권양기의 조건은 어탐중 챗대가 움직이지 않아야 하며, 그 방법으로 감속기나 전자브레이크를 장치하는 것보다 시간 경과에 따른 누수량이 적은 것을 사용하는 것이 바람직하였다. 3. 시험에 사용된 권양기 중 최적의 권양기에 있어서 압력차 $\Delta$P를 130kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$으로 고정하였을 때, 권양기에 감겨지는 챗대줄의 권양속도는 2m/sec로서 재래식 방법보다 0.48m/sec 빠르게 나타났으며, 양망당 약 1.6톤의 멸치를 어획할 수 있다. 4. 권양기 2대를 설치함으로써 조업인원 2명을 절감할 수 있었다.

Benzidine Industry in Korea has started after Japan has banned its production in early 1970's, and it has been in operation in Korea for over 20 years. However, it is not known yet whether any bladder cancer has developed from benzidine exposure. This study was done to screen benzidine-exposed workers for bladder cancer, and to examine the feasibility of employing screening test at the workplace. All the workplaces that manufacture or use benzidine for more than 20 years in Korea have been covered in this study, and they include 2 benzidine manufacturing factories, 5 benzidine using factories, as well as 2 benzidine free factories as an outside control. In total, 516 workers were screened with urine stick test and urine cytology test for the evidence of hematuria and abnormal urothelial cells. Each worker was also asked about risk factors and symptoms of bladder cancer including past medical history, smoking, medication and occupational history Benzidine in the air was measured by personal and area sampling. Out of 516 screened workers, 84(16.3%) workers showed positive hematuria in urine stick test, and 7(1.4%) workers showed degenerative cells in urine cytology tests. Those workers with abnormal urine test results who have been exposed to benzidine fo more than 10 years were further screened, and, in total, 23 workers were examined with intra-venous pyelography and cystoscopy. None of those screened had any evidence of bladder cancer When workers with only past hematuria history were included in the positive hematuria group, 96(18.5%) had positive hematuria. On the multiple logistic regression analysis, positive hematuria was significantly associated with benzidine exposure, history of other occupations with elevated bladder cancer risk, pyuria and glycosuria. The association got stronger as direct benzidine exposure was accounted through individual task analysis, and as exposure duration was accounted with tenure analysis. For those with benzidine exposure with more than 10 years of tenure, the odds of having positive hematuria was elevated 2.14(95%C.I is 1.08 to 4.25) times more than for those without exposure. Even though bladder cancer was not detected for several limitations including short observation period, majority of studied workers with short latency, healthy worker effect, and low sensitivity of single screening test in a cross-sectional study, the study results suggest that hematuria screening is a feasible and very useful test for bladder cancer screening among benzidine exposed workers.

본 논문은 전자식 조정장치 헬리콥터의 비행영역 보호를 위한 하중제안 로직 설계에 대한 결과이다. 헬리콥터는 로터, 동체, 엔진등 구조가 복잡하기 때문에 여러 가지 제약조건에 가지고 비행을 해야 한다. 이 때문에 조종사가 그 제약조건을 고려하여 조종을 하면서 조종사의 작업부하가 증가하고 비행 조종성을 떨어뜨리는 결과가 발생한다. 이러한 헬리콥터의 비행제약조건으로부터 자유롭게 조정 하도록 하여 조종사를 도와주는 기능이 필요하고 본 논문에서는 그 중의 대표적인 제약조건인 하중제약조건에 대한 제한 로직을 전자식 조정장치 헬리콥터에 설계하고자 한다. 하중범위를 벗어나는 비행은 피치 싸이클릭 스틱을 급격하게 입력하여 주로 발생한다. 이때 조종스틱 명령과 피치축 자세명령모델사이에 비행영역제한로직을 추가하여 하중범위를 벗어나지 않도록 하였다. 현재의 하중 값에 대한 자세범위를 동적으로 계산하는 로직을 사용하였고 헬리콥터 모델에 적용하여 시뮬레이션을 통하여 알고리즘을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 정지비행영역, 전진비행영역에서 하중제한로직을 적용하지 않았을 때와 적용하였을 때를 비교한 결과, 하중제한로직을 적용하지 않았을 때는 하중제한 리미트를 20% 이상 초과하였으나 본 연구에서 제한한 로직을 적용하였을 때는 하중제한 리미트가 초과하지 않음을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 시뮬레이션을 통하여 동적으로 할당하는 제한로직이 헬리콥터 전자식 조정장치 제어기에 적합함을 확인하였다.

Background: Dental hygienists are at risk of acquiring infections through exposure to infectious agents. This study explores the frequency of exposure to infectious agents and infection control practices among dental hygienists. Methods: We undertook a cross-sectional survey to examine the exposure to infectious agents and infection control practices among dental hygienists through questionnaire. Data were obtained from 124 dental hygienists attending educational conferences. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the factors that effect infection control practices in relation to age, completion of infection control education, recognition of their own serum hepatitis Ag/Ab status, the number of one day patients, location of clinics, type of clinics, and career years. Result: Of the 124 dental hygienists, 91.7% were exposed to at least one accident such as needle stick injuries during their practices periods. The health screening coverage rate in dental hygienists was 16.5%. The number of one day patients and career years were important in relation to infection control practices among dental hygienists. The adjusted odds ratio estimates for career years were 5.049 times greater(95% Cl 1.238-20.597) for groups with over 4 career years than under 2 career years. That for the number of one day patients were 0.261(95% Cl 0.071-0.955) lower for through 20 up to 30 patients, 0.531(95% Cl 0.102-2.78) lower for through 30 up to 40 patients and 0.498(95% Cl 0.123-2.017) lower for more than 40 patients than under 20 patients. Conclusion: From these results, prevalence of infection control practices among dental hygienists is related to the number of one day patients and career years. Prevention of cross infection and reduction of future transmission should be a priority to dental hygienists for promotion of infection control and further efforts to educate newcomers on infection prevention should be made.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the elevated blood glucose levels in the postoperative period are associated with an increased risk of deep wound infection in diabetic individuals undergoing lumbar spine surgery. Methods: Of 2896 patients who underwent lumbar spine operations by one surgeon between 1993 and 2002, 329(11.4%) were diabetics. The rate of deep wound infections in diabetic patients was 6.4%, versus 3.2% for nondiabetics. 152 patients had their operation before implementation of the protocol and 177 after implementation. Charts of the diabetic patients were reviewed. Mean blood glucose levels were calculated from documented results of finger-stick glucometer testing. Results: Twenty-one diabetic patients suffered deep wound infection. Infected diabetic patients had a higher mean blood glucose level through the first 2 postoperative days than noninfected patients($230{\pm}6.9$ versus $175{\pm}3.8mg/dL$; p<0.003) and had a long operation time($216{\pm}57.9$ versus $167.5{\pm}42.2$ minute; p<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression showed that mean blood glucose level for the first 2 postoperative days, long operation time, and use of the instrumentation(p<0.02) were all related predictiors of deep wound infection. Institution of a protocol of postoperative continuous intravenous insulin to maintain blood glucose level less than 200mg/dL was began in september 1997. This protocol resulted in a decrease in blood glucose levels for the first 2 postoperative days and a concomitant decrease in the proportion of patients with deep wound infection, from 8.3%(11/132) to 5.1%(10/195) (p<0.02). Conclusion: The incidence of deep wound infection in diabetic patients is reduced after implementation of a protocol to maintain mean blood glucose level less than 200mg/dL in the immediate postoperative period.

발전소에서 발생되는 석탄회의 재활용을 위해 석탄회 내의 미연탄소를 제거하기 위한 장치를 개발하여 실험을 수행하였다. 석탄회 중 조림 석탄회가 미연탄소 함량이 높으며 또한 마찰에 의해 정전기적으로 석탄회 내의 미연탄소분은 (+)극성을, 순수 회분은 (-)극성을 띠게 된다는 사실에 근거하여 입도 분급 및 정전기적 분리가 동시에 일어날 수 있는 싸이클론 정전분리장치를 설계하였다. 그리고 분급입도를 조절하기 위하여 싸이클론 내에 vane을 설치하였으며 전극의 형태에 따른 영향을 알아보기 위해 막대형 전극과 Ul(쳔 전극을 설계하여 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 막대전극의 경우 미립분의 회수율이 5-10%증가하였으며 grid전극의 경우 약 15%까지 증가하였다. 그러나 미연탄소 함량은 조립분의 경우 전극 설치 전보다 크게 증가하였으나 미립분의 경우 그다지 변하지 않았다. 따라서 본 시료의 경우 전기장을 형성시킴으로써 같은 미연탄소 함유량을 갖는 정제석탄회의 회수율은 크게 증대시킬 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Controlling the stick and slip motions of the contact lines in a confined geometry comprised of a spherical lens with a flat substrate is useful for manufacturing polymer ring patterns. We used a sphere on a flat geometry, by which we could control the interfaces of the solution, vapor and substrate. By this method, hundreds of concentric ring-pattern formations of a linear conjugated polymer, poly [2-methoxy-5-(2-thylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV), were generated with excellent regularity over large areas after complete solvent evaporation. Subsequently, the MEH-PPV ring patterns played a role as a directed template to organize highly regular concentric rings of single-walled carbon nanotubes(SWCNTs); when a droplet of the SWCNT suspension in water was casted onto the prepared substrate, hydrophobic polymer patterns confined the water dispersed SWCNTs in between the hydrophilicized $SiO_2/Si$ substrate. As the solvent evaporated, SWCNT-rings were formed in between MEH-PPV rings with controlled density. Finally, we used a lift-off process to produce SWCNT patterns by the removal of a sacrificial polymer template with organic solvent. We also fabricated a field effect transistor using self-assembled SWCNT networks on a $SiO_2/Si$ substrate.
