  • Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) could induce metabolic disorders through interfering with thyroid homeostasis. Therefore, we evaluated the effects of short term to environmental relevant doses of DEHP on thyroid hormones. Four week old Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were treated with vehicle (corn oil), and DEHP 0.75, 7.5, and 150 mg/kg/day. The rats were treated with once daily by oral gavage and were sacrificed with after 1 week. They were measured body weight and relative thyroid weight, serum thyroid hormones and histological changes of thyroid. There was no difference in body weight between the control and DEHP exposed rats. Relative thyroid weight in DEHP 150 mg/kg/day treated group was significantly lower than control. Serum thyroxine levels was decreased in rats exposed to 0.75 and 150 mg/kg/day DEHP. No histological changes were observed in the thyroid of rats administered DEHP compared to control. Exposure to DEHP at environmental relevant levels, even short-term exposure, can cause hypothyroidism in adolescent rats even the exposure period is relative short.

  • The early detection of intravenous (IV) infiltration is necessary to minimize the injury caused by the infiltration, which is one of the most important tasks for nurses. For detecting early infiltration in patients receiving invasive vein treatment, bioelectrical impedance was measured using multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance. The impedance decreased significantly at infiltration, and then decreased gradually over time after infiltration. The relative impedance at 20 kHz decreased remarkably at infiltration, and then gradually decreased thereafter. In addition, the impedance ratio increased temporarily at infiltration and then gradually decreased over time. Furthermore, the impedance at each frequency decreased quantitatively over time. This indicates that IV solution leaking from the vein due to infiltration accumulates in the subcutaneous tissues. Moreover, slopes of log Z vs. log f differently decreased with increasing log f, indicating that the impedance exhibits different responses depending on the frequency.

  • Korean e-Government web site has been evaluating as a distinguished government, ranked 5th of the 119 countries in the "Global e-government readiness index report 2005" by UN in 2006. However we have to focus poor rate of utilization in proportion to its high evaluation of e-Government ranking. These reason probably did not reflect the requirements of user to build and operate e-Government web site. In this paper we will provide the important factors to consider to build and operate e-Government web site. For this, we analyze the relative importance for evaluation factors of e-Government web site using AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process).

  • This paper presents an optical technique for the three-dimensional (3D) shape inspection of micro solder balls used in ball-grid array (BGA) packaging. The proposed technique uses an optical source composed of spatially arranged light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and the results are derived based on the specular reflection characteristics of the micro solder balls for BGA A vision system comprising a camera and LEDs is designed to capture the reflected images of multiple solder balls arranged arbitrarily on a tray and the locations of the LED point-light-source reflections in each ball are determined via image processing, for shape inspection. The proposed methodology aims to determine the presence of defects in 3D BGA shape using the statistical information of the relative positions of multiple BGA balls, which are included in the image. The presence of the BGA balls with large deviations in relative position imply the inconsistencies in their shape. Experiments were conducted to verify that the proposed method could be applied to inspection without sophisticated mechanism and productivity problem.

  • In this work, we investigated the recently proposed phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PCXI) technique, the so-called single grid-based PCXI, which has great simplicity and minimal requirements on the setup alignment. It allows for imaging of smaller features and variations in the examined sample than conventional attenuation-based x-ray imaging with lower x-ray dose. We performed a systematic simulation using a simulation platform developed by us to investigate the image characteristics. We also performed a preliminary PCXI experiment using an established a table-top setup to demonstrate the performance of the simulation platform. The system consists of an x-ray tube ($50kV_p$, 5 mAs), a focused-linear grid (200-lines/inch), and a flat-panel detector ($48-{\mu}m$ pixel size). According to our results, the simulated contrast of phase images was much enhanced, compared to that of the absorption images. The scattering length scale estimated for a given simulation condition was about 117 nm. It was very similar, at least qualitatively, to the experimental contrast, which demonstrates the performance of the simulation platform. We also found that the level of the phase gradient of oriented structures strongly depended on the orientation of the structure relative to that of linear grids.

  • The integration method of carier concentrations to redcue the discretization error of th box integratio method used in the discretization of the three-dimensional poisson's equation is presented. The carrier concentration is approximated in the closed form as an exponential function of the linearly varying potential in the element. The presented method is implemented in the three-dimensional poisson's equation solver running under the windows 95. The accuracy and the convergence chaacteristics of the three-dimensional poisson's equation solver are compared with those of DAVINCI for the PN junction diode and the n-MOSFET under the thermal equilibrium and the DC reverse bias. The potential distributions of the simulatied devices from the three-dimensional poisson's equation solver, compared with those of DAVINCI, has a relative error within 2.8%. The average number of iterations needed to obtain the solution of the PN junction diode and the n-MOSFET using the presented method are 11.47 and 11.16 while the those of DAVINCI are 21.73 and 23.0 respectively.

  • This study has researched the following conclusion to compare to the existing theory and to examine lateral earth pressure, which have measured to add incremental load on sandy soil, and were different in types of compaction by modeling earth pressure test. Lateral earth pressure by incremental load shows that it is increasing at depth forty four centimeters as 2/3H point for wall high, and under 2/3 H point the variation of earth pressure on incremental load is not conspicuous. Therefor, the more a position of surcharge load is close with fixed wall, the more a variation of lateral earth pressure marks considerably. According to relative compaction density of soil, lateral earth pressure turns up larger effective value for layer compaction test to a thickness of thirty three centimeters than layer compaction test to a thickness of twenty centimeters by the roller.
