This paper describes the fabrication method for atomic force microscopy(AFM) tip with multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWNT). For making a carbon nanotube (CNT) modified tips, AC electric field which cause the dielectrophoresis was used for alignment and deposition of CNTs in this research. By dropping the MWNT solution and applying an electric field between an AFM tip and an electrode, MWNTs which were dispersed into a diluted solution were directly assembled onto the apex of the AFM tips due to the attraction by the dielectrophoretic force. In this case, we investigate the effect of the angle between a tip axis and an electrode. Experimental setup were presented, and then CNT attached AFM tips are successfully shown in this paper.

In this paper, we present a restricted tabu search(RTS) algorithm that schedules jobs on identical parallel machines in order to minimize the maximum lateness of jobs. Jobs have release times and due dates. Also, sequence-dependent setup times exist between jobs. The RTS algorithm consists of two main parts. The first part is the MATCS(Modified Apparent Tardiness Cost with Setups) rule that provides an efficient initial schedule for the RTS. The second part is a search heuristic that employs a restricted neighborhood generation scheme with the elimination of non-efficient job moves in finding the best neighborhood schedule. The search heuristic reduces the tabu search effort greatly while obtaining the final schedules of good quality. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better solutions quickly than the existing heuristic algorithms such as the RHP(Rolling Horizon Procedure) heuristic, the basic tabu search, and simulated annealing.

Donor availability is a major limiting factor in heart transplantation. Prolonging donor heart preservation would facilitate distant heart procurement. The setup used was the isolated retrograde perfused nonworking rabbit heart model and 4 hours of preservation at 2oC. And the electron microscopic findings of the myocardium were evaluated after reperfusion for 5 minutes. The following three groups [each group, n=4] were prepared: Group I: the heart was arrested with the St. Thomas Hospital solution [STH] and stored in Ringers lactate solution [RLS]; Group II: the heart was arrested with STH and stored in Modified Collins-Sachs solution [MCS]; Group g: the heart was arrested with and stored in MCS. The result was the most severe myocardial injury in the Group III on electron microscopic study.

Heat transfer coefficient were measured and new correlations were developed for two-phase heat transfer in a horizontal pipe for different patterns. Flow patterns were observed in a transparent circular pipe (2.54 cm I. D. and L/D=96) using an air/water mixture. Visual identification of the flow patterns was supplemented with photographic data and the results were plotted on the flow regime map proposed by Taitel and Dukler and agreed quite well with each other. A two-phase heat transfer experimental setup was built for this study and a total of 150 two-phase heat transfer data with different flow patterns were obtained under a uniform wall heat flux boundary condition. For these data, the superficial Reynolds number ranged from 640 to 35,500 for the liquid and from 540 to 21,200 for the gas. Our previously developed robust two-phase heat transfer correlation for a vertical pipe with modified constants predicted the horizontal pipe air-water heat transfer experimental data with good accuracy. Overall the proposed correlations predicted the data with a mean deviation of 1.0% and an rms deviation of 12%.

심장이식 수술의 성공의 관건은 공여자와 수혜자의 적절한 조합과 이미 정립된 수술수기와 합께 적출된 심장의 효과적인 기능 보존에 달려있다. 심장 보존에 있어서 괄목할 만한 발전이 있었음에도 불구하고 최근의 가장 진보된 방법으로 심 허 혈 상태의 최대 허용기간은 약 4~6시간정도이다 저자는 이식을 위한 적출 심장의 보존 용액 이 갖추어야 할 적정 요건에 대한 자료를 축적하고자, 단순 저온 침적방법에 의거하여, H/S용액(I군)을 대조군으로 하여 저자가 고안한 CK용액(W군)을 기존의 MEC용액( ll군) 및 MUW용액(E군)과 비교 실험하였다. 적출된 가토의 심장을 실험 대상으로 하고 정압형 Langendorff실험모형을 사용하여, 20분간의 평형 상태, 4시간동안의 심장 저장 및 20분간의 재관류시기를 거치게 한 후, 심근 조직을 절제하여 냉동 보관하였다. 실험 계획에 따라 관관류량,좌심실압, 압력 미분치를 측정하였고, 동결 심근조직내의 효소치를 정량 분석하였다. 결론적으로, 저자의 비교 실험에서 MUW용액과 CK용액의 심근보호 능력이 우수하였고, MEC용액은 대조군에 비해 저조하였다. potassium의 농도가 MVW용액보다 낮고()4.2nM/L), 문헌상에서 \ulcorner\ulcorner보호에 유익한 것으로 보고된 각종의 substrate을 첨가하여 제작된 CK용액의 성적이 MUW용액 과 비슷한 수준으로 우수하였는데, 이는 심장보존용액의 전해질 농도의 조정과 첨가물질의 선택 및 조정에 있어서 지속적인 연구와 발전이 필요함을 시사한다고 할 수 있다.

Accelerated life testing (ALT) is a well famous technique in life testing and reliability studies, this is particularly used to induce so high stress leading to failure of the highly reliable units quickly under stipulated duration of time. The step-stress ALT is one of the systematic experimental strategy of ALT applied to fail the units in steps. In this article we focus on two important issues (i) necessity of life tests at higher steps with relevant causes (ii) to develop a new optimum test plan for 3-step SSALT under the modified cumulative exposure model proposed by Khamis and Higgins (1998). It is assumed that the lifetime of test units follows Rayleigh distribution and its scale parameter at constant stress level is assumed to be a log-linear function of the stress. The maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters involved in the step-stress ALT model are obtained. A simulation study is performed for numerical investigation of the proposed new optimum plan 3-step, step-stress ALT. The necessity of the life test units at 3-step step-stress is also numerically examined in comparison to simple step-stress setup.

Small size DC motor control method for portable drug delivery system has been developed to be used for the actuator of insulins pump. The control method gives the controllabilities both in high speed(40-50 revolution per second(rps)) DC motor drive and also in low speed(0.5-1rps). In low speed mode DC motor is controlled to act like stepping motor and in high speed to optimize power consumption. To control both mode modified bang bang control is suggested. Using this method small size DC motor(spec.) speed is controlled from 0.2 rps to 50 rps. Experimental setup is developed using micro-processor(PIC16C73, Micro Chips co., USA), motor turns checking circuitry, small size DC motor for pager(SM1012, Samhong co., Korea) and gear box. Results from experiment meet need for vailable load condition which is require for portable drug delivery system.
