Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate difference in fascicle behavior of the medial gastrocnemius during the locomotion with varying intensities, such as gait and one-legged and two-legged vertical jumping. Methods : Six subjects (3 males and 3 females; age: $27.2{\pm}1.6yrs.$, body mass: $62.8{\pm}9.8kg$, height: $169.6{\pm}8.5cm$) performed normal gait (G) at preferred speed and maximum vertical jumping with one (OJ) and two (TJ) legs. While subjects were performing the given tasks, the hip, knee and ankle joint motion and ground reaction force was monitored using a 8-infrared camera motion analysis system with two forceplates. Simultaneously, electromyography of the triceps surae muscles, and the fascicle length of the medial gastrocnemius were recorded using a real-time ultrasound imaging machine. Results : Comparing to gait, the kinematic and kinetic parameters of TJ and OJ were found to be significantly different. Along with those parameters, change in the medial gastrocnemius (MG) muscle-tendon complex (MTC) length ($50.57{\pm}6.20mm$ for TJ and $44.14{\pm}5.39mm$ for OJ) and changes in the fascicle length of the MG ($18.97{\pm}3.58mm$ for TJ and $20.31{\pm}4.59mm$ for OJ) were observed. Although the total excursion of the MTC and the MG fascicle length during the two types of jump were not significantly different, however the pattern of length changes were found to be different. For TJ, the fascicle length maintained isometric longer during the propulsive phase than OJ. Conclusion : One-legged and two-legged vertical jumping use different muscle-tendon interaction strategies.

Because of the important role LD converters play in the production of high quality steel, various dynamic models have been attempted in the past by many researchers not only to understand the complex chemical reactions that take place in the converter process but also to assist the converter operation itself using computers. And yet no single dynamic model was found to be completely satisfactory because of the complexity involved with the process. The process indeed involves dynamic energy and mass balances at high temperatures accompanied by complex chemical reactions and transport phenomena in the molten state. In the present study, a mathematical model describing the dynamic behavior of LD converter process has been developed. The dynamic model describes the time behavior of the temperature and the concentrations of chemical species in the hot metal bath and slag. The analysis was greatly facilitated by dividing the entire process into three zones according to the physical boundaries and reaction mechanisms. These three zones were hot metal (zone 1), slag (zone 2) and emulsion (zone 3) zones. The removal rate of Si, C, Mn and P and the rate of Fe oxidation in the hot metal bath, and the change of composition in the slag were obtained as functions of time, operating conditions and kinetic parameters. The temperature behavior in the metal bath and the slag was also obtained by considering the heat transfer between the mixing and the slag zones and the heat generated from chemical reactions involving oxygen blowing. To identify the unknown parameters in the equations and simulate the dynamic model, Hooke and Jeeves parttern search and Runge-Kutta integration algorithm were used. By testing and fitting the model with the data obtained from the operation of POSCO #2 steelmaking plant, the dynamic model was able to predict the characteristics of the main components in the LD converter. It was possible to predict the optimum CO gas recovery by computer simulation

천연제올라이트와 불가사리를 목분과 함께 혼합 소성한 펠렛형 Zeolite-StarFish 세라믹(ZSF 세라믹)을 이용하여 산성광산배수 내 중금속의 제거특성 및 영향인자를 파악하고자 하였다. ZSF 세라믹에 의한 중금속의 제거반응은 초기 3시간까지 빠른 속도로 진행되었으며 높은 알칼리 상태를 나타내었다. 중금속 제거를 위한 ZSF 세라믹의 최적 소성온도는 $800{\sim}1,000^{\circ}C$로 파악되었으며 소성시간에 따른 중금속 제거효율의 변화는 거의 나타나지 않았다. ZSF 세라믹의 최적 투여농도는 1.0~1.2 %임을 알 수 있었고, 1.0 % 이상의 ZSF 세라믹의 투여농도 조건에서는 Pb 85.5 %를 제외한 Al, As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn 대부분의 중금속이 95 % 이상의 높은 제거효율을 나타내었다. 목분의 배합비가 증가할수록 중금속 제거효율은 증가하였으며 목분의 적정 배합비는 10 %로 파악되었다. 회분식 실험을 통해 불가사리 소재의 ZSF 세라믹은 산성광산배수 내 중금속을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 처리제임을 알 수 있었으며, 특히 목분을 첨가한 다공성 ZSF 세라믹을 통해서는 산성광산배수 내 중금속의 제거효율을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있었다.

$^{123}I$, which is applied for the thyroid and other in vivo kinetic study, has a special role in life sciences. The 159 KeV $\gamma-ray$ from $^{123}I$ is almost ideally appropriate for the current imaging instrumentation. Its decay mode (electron capture) and short half-life (13.3 hr) reduced the burden of radiation dose to the patients, and its chemical property makes it easy to synthesize the labelling compounds. In this experiment, the production of $^{123}I$ via the nuclear reaction $^{124}Te(p,2n)^{123}I$ with 28 MeV protons was sutdied. $TeO_2$ is used as a target material, because it has good physical properties. The target was prepared with $TeO_2$ powder and was molten into a ellipsoidal cavity (a=14 mm, b=10 mm, $270.8mg/cm^2$ thick) of pure platinum. The irradiation was carried out in the external proton beam with incident energies range from 28 MeV to 22 MeV, and current was $30{\mu}A$. The loss of $TeO_2$ target was significantly reduced by using $4\pi-cooling$ system in irradiation. The dry distillation method was adopted for the separation of $^{123}I$ from irradiated target, and when it was kept 5 minutes at $780^{\circ}C$, its result was quantitative. The loss of the target material $(TeO_2)$ was below 0.2% for each production run and $^{123}I$ from the dry distillation apparatus was captured with 0.01 N NaOH in $Na^{123}I$ form, then the pH of the solution was adjusted to $7.5\sim9.0$ with HC1/NaOH. The $Na^{123}I$ solution was passed through $0.2{\mu}m$ membrane filter, and sterilized under high pressure and temperature for 30 minutes. The production of $^{123}I$ is acceptable for clinical application based on the quality of USP XXI.

The only compounds with antagonistic activity via AT$_1$receptor, one of two subtypes of angiotensin II (AII) receptor, have been demonstrated to block the vasoconstriction effects of AII and thereby provide therapeutic potential. This initiated the search for compounds with high specific affinity to AT$_1$receptor and their effective screening methods. The radioligand binding assay for the AII receptor is regarded as the primary method for the evaluation of AT$_1$receptor antagonists for their activity. In this paper, we characterized the liver AT$_1$receptor and describe the efficient method of the radioligand binding assay using rat liver as a source of AT$_1$receptor. Equilibrium binding studies with rat adrenal cortex, adrenal medulla, liver and bovine adrenal showed that the specific bindings of [$^3$H] AII were saturable in all tissues and the Scatchard plots of those data were linear, suggesting a single population of binding sites. Hill slopes were very near to the unity in all tissues. Kinetic studies of [$^3$H) AII binding in rat liver homogenates yielded two association rate constants, 4.10$\times$10$^{7}$ M$^{-1}$ min$^{-1}$ and 4.02$\times$10$^{9}$ M$^{-1}$ min$^{-1}$ , with a single dissociation rate constant, 7.07$\times$10$^{-3}$ min-$^{-1}$ , possibly due to the partial dissociation phenomenon. The rank order of inhibition potencies of [$^3$H] AII binding in rat liver was AII>Sarile>Losartan>PD 123177. Rat liver homogenates revealed to have very high density of homogeneous population of the AT$_1$receptor subtype, as the specifically bound [$^3$H] AII was not inhibited by PD 123177, the nonpeptide antagonist of AT$_2$. The results of this study demonstrated that the liver homogenates from rats could be the best receptor preparation for the AT$_1$receptor binding assay and provide an efficient system for the screening of newly synthesized candidate compounds of AT$_1$receptor antagonist.

생물체내에 내분비계 기능을 방해하고 생식능력 감소, 암 등을 유발하는 내분비계장애물질이 상수나 폐수, 지표수, 토양 등에서 검출이 증가하는 추세이다. 본 연구에서는 토양 내 내분비계장애물질을 산화공유결합반응을 유도, 토양 유기물화 시켜 제거하기 위하여 망간 산화물인 버네사이트를 촉매로 이용하였다. 수산화 작용기를 갖는 내분비계장애물질인 bisphenol A, 2,4-dichlorophenol 및 17${\beta}$-estradiol을 각각 50, 100, 1.5 mg/L의 농도로 하여 수용액 상에서의 버네사이트 촉매 반응을 관찰한 결과, 모두 60분 이내에 99% 이상 제거되었다. 특히 bisphenol A는 5분 내에 96%이상 제거되는 등 가장 높은 제거효율을 나타냈다. 또한 산화공유결합반응은 버네사이트 표면에서 일어나는 반응으로 버네사이트의 양, 즉 반응 표면적이 넓어질수록 일차반응속도상수가 선형적으로 증가함을 확인하였다. 토양 슬러리 상에서의 각 물질의 반응성을 확인한 결과, 수용액상보다 빠르게 변환되었는데, 이는 버네사이트에 의해 생성된 페녹시 라디칼이 토양유기물과 교차결합하여 더욱 빠르게 제거되었기 ��문으로 판단된다. 이러한 수용액 및 토양에서의 빠른 반응으로 비추어 볼때, 버네사이트를 이용한 유기물화 기술은 수용액 뿐만 아니라 토양 내 내분비계장애물질의 효과적인 처리 방법이 될 것으로 보인다.

Current methods for evaluating unsignalized intersections, and estimating level-of-service (LOS) is determined from efficiency-based criteria such as little or no delay to very long delays. At present, similar procedures to evaluate intersections using safety-based criteria do not exist. The improvement of sight distances at intersections is the most effective way of improving intersection safety. However, a set of procedures is necessary to account for the limitations in current methodology. Such an approach would build upon such methods, but also account for: deficiencies in the current deterministic solution for the determination of intersection sight distances; opportunity for an accident and severity of an accident; and cost-effectiveness of attaining various levels of sight distances. In this research, a model that estimates the degree of safety at two-way stop-controlled intersections is described. Only crossing maneuvers are considered in this study because accidents caused by the crossing maneuvers are the dominate type among intersection accidents. Monte Carlo methods are used to estimate the hazard at an intersection as a function of roadway features and traffic conditions. Driver`s minimum gap acceptance in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the crossing vehicles and headway distribution on the major road are used in the model to simulate the real intersectional maneuvers. Other random variables addressed in the model are: traffic speeds; preception-reaction times of both drivers in the crossing vehicles and drivers in oncoming vehicles on the major road; and vehicles on the major roads. The developed model produces the total number of conflicts per year per vehicle and total potential kinetic energy per year per vehicle dissipated during conflicts as measurements of safety at intersections. Based on the results from the developed simulation model, desirable sight distances for various speeds were determined as 350 feet, 450 feet and 550 feet for 40 mph, 50 mph and 60 mph prevailing speed on the major road, respectively. These values are seven to eight percent less than those values recommended by AASHTO. A safety based level-of-service (LOS) is also developed using the results of the simulation model. When the total number of conflicts per vehicle is less than 0.05 at an intersection, the LOS of the intersection is `A' and when the total number of conflicts per vehicle is larger than 0.25 at an intersection, the LOS is `F'. Similarly, when the total hazard per vehicle is less than 350, 000 1b-ft2/sec2, the LOS is `F'. Once evaluation of the current safety at the intersection is complete, a sensitivity analysis can be done by changing one or more input parameters. This will estimate the benefit in terms of time and budget of hazard reduction based upon improving geometric and traffic characteristics at the intersection. This method will also enable traffic engineers in local governments to generate a priority list of intersection improvement projects.

본 논문은 글로우방전 질량분석법(Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry: GDMS)을 이용하여 구리 박막내의 미량 불순물의 농도분석과 음의 기판 바이어스에 대한 구리 박막내의 불순물의 농도변화에 대해서 고찰하였다. 구리 박막은 실리콘 기판 위에 비질량 분리형 이온빔 증착장비를 이용하여 기판 바이어스를 걸지 않은 경우와 -50 V의 기판 바이어스를 걸은 상태에서 증착하였다. 전기를 통하지 않는 분석 샘플의 경우, 직류(DC) GDMS에 의한 분석시, 샘플 표면에서의 charge-up 효과에 의해 분석에 어려움이 있었지만, 본 실험에서는 간편하게 분석이 가능하도록 샘플을 알루미늄 포일(foil)로 감싸서 구리 박막으로부터 실리콘 기판 뒤의 샘플 홀더까지 전기적 접촉이 이루어지도록 하였다. 구리 타겟과 증착된 구리 박막들에 대한 GDMS 분석결과에 의해서, 전체적으로 박막내의 불순물의 양이 음의 기판 바이어스에 의해 줄어듦으로써 구리 박막의 전체 순도를 높일 수 있다는 것을 알게 되었다. 음의 기판 바이어스에 의한 불순물들의 농도변화는 각각의 불순물의 이온화 포텐셜의 차이에 의한 것으로, 박막 증착시 플라즈마내의 Penning ionization effect와 본 논문에서 제시한 이온화 과정에 의해 각 불순물의 농도변화가 설명되어질 수 있었다. 또한, 기판 위에서의 구리 이온들의 충격에 의한 cleaning effect도 박막내의 불순물의 농도변화에 기여했다고 판단된다.
