ZnO nanostructure was fabricated by catalyst-free method using Zn powder in air. The growth temperature was controlled from 450$^{\circ}$C to 600$^{\circ}$C, and the structural and optical properties were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photoluminescence (PL), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and cathodoluminescence (CL). From all samples both ZnO tetrapods and clusters were observed. No significant dispersion was observed from the ZnO tetrapods, however, ZnO clusters show considerable change in density and size. From the EDX results, atomic composition difference was found. The clusters have O-deficiencies, while tetrapods have stoichiometric composition. Strong luminescence was observed at room temperature. From room temperature PL, UV emission at 380 nm and green emission at 500 nm were observed, and the intensity ratio ($I_{uv}/I_{green}$) increased as growth temperature increases. CL measurements show that the UV emission is closely related with tetrapods and the green emission is dominated from the clusters.

This study was conducted to provide basic understanding regarding possible enamel erosion by three kinds of fist-aid antipyretic and analgesic medicines over a period of time, with comparison and analysis of the resulting deciduous teeth surface and microhardness changes. The analysis was performed using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the surface erosion and changes. The Kruskal-Wallis test show differences in surface erosion and changes after 3, 5 and 8 days of treatment as well as before and after the treatment in each group. According to the results, there was no significant difference in the early deciduous teeth enamel surface microhardness (p>0.01). However there were signigicant changes after 3, 5, and 8 days (p<0.01). Calcim (Ca) and phosphorous (P) analysis using EDX showed significant differences in the enamel characteristics according to each tissue area after 8 days (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in any of the areas for P content (p>0.05). In the surface observation with the SEM treatment with Children's Tylenol$^{(R)}$ tablet, which has the lowest pH, looked the roughest, followed by Brufen syrup for children and Children's Tylenol$^{(R)}$ suspension. Based on these results, it should be considered that antipyretic and analgesic medicines for children, which have lower pH values, may cause tooth erosion. Hence, it is necessary to give special attention to oral hygiene in young children or infants by brushing their teeth after such drugs are administered.

현재 고온 및 부식 침식 환경에 사용되는 재료는 부품의 내구성 및 신뢰성이 수명에 절대적인 영향을 준다. 따라서 내열성, 내식성의 문제를 해결하기 위한 재료의 개발과 함께 표면특성 향상을 위한 코팅기술이 지속적으로 발전되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기접점재료의 중요한 특성인 저항 고온 고강도 고내식의 특성을 가지는 차세대 복합소재로써 Mo-Cu를 Magnetron Sputtering 법을 이용하여 박막을 제조하였다. Sputtering 변수로는 파워, 온도, Gas, 공정시간, 조성으로 정하였고 변수에 따른 박막의 특성을 분석하였다. 분석으로는 내열, 내식, 경도, XRD, SEM, EDX, EPMA, 면저항을 측정 하여 조건별 비교 분석하였다.

본 논문은 당뇨병의 지표물질인 glucose의 농도를 극미량의 시료를 사용하여 정량 할 수 있는 방법을 개발하기 위하여 효소 고정화 전극을 제작하였다. 전극은 실리콘 웨이퍼상에 마이크로 크기의 전극을 반도체 공정을 이용하여 제작하였고, 전기 화학적 방법으로 마이크로 전극에 전도성 고분자 Polypyrrole(PPy) 및 glucose oxidase(GOx)를 고정화한 고감도의 전기화학 전극을 개발하였다. 도전성 고분자의 전기 화학적 중합은 순환 전압 전류법으로 하였으며, 용액의 액성에 따른 효소의 표면 전하를 이용하여, 도전성 고분자를 코팅한 전극에 일정한 전압을 인가하고 GOx를 도우핑 하였다. 제작된 전극은 시간대 전류법으로 glucose의 농도에 따른 감도 측정결과 마이크로 리터의 시료에 $5{\mu}A$/decade를 얻었다. 전극의 표면분석은 Scanning electron microscopy(SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX)를 이용하였다.

The properties variation by deterioration of the 600V grade heat-resistant polyvinyl chloride insulated wire(HIV) was analyzed. The weight variation of the thermal deteriorated HIV was about 42% at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and over. From the analysis result of the metallurgical microscope photographs it shows that the sorface of normal wire showed the elongated structures. However the elongated structures did not appear at $900^{\circ} and over and we could observe that particles were grown. The grown oxidized substances in the thermally deteriorated electric wire were observed by SEM. The CuL, CuK, $CuK_b$, OK and CIK spectra of the thermally deteriorated HIV at $300^{\circ}C$ were uniform regardless of the scanning length, but the spectra of CIK could not found at above $700^{\circ}. At the DTA analysis, the endothermic reactions were occurred around $3006{\circ}C\; and\; 400^{\circ}C$ and the exothermic reactions were occurred around $470^{\circ}, respectively.

To develop an effective adsorbent for radio active Carbon Dioxide, $^14CO_2$, which is discharged to nearby atmosphere from nuclear power plants of CANDU type, we made some preliminary adsorbents and tested their abilities of $CO_2$ removal. The chemical agents used was LiOH and we supported or impregnated it on the surface or the internal volume of activated Carbon(GW-H). The physical and chemical properties of various adsorbents were measured using methods such as XRD, BET. SEM images were taken to investigate the change of surface morphology of the adsorbents. Finally, amount of $CO_2$ adsorption of them were verified under specific conditions. We found that mechanical mixing of LiOH and activated Carbon showed the maximum $CO_2$ removal ability, while surface activation of activated Carbon by Nitric Acid-treatment enhanced its $CO_2$ removal efficiency to some degree.

After clinical and laboratory tests of a 12-year-old warmblood horse (castrated male, 540 kg) displaying symptom of pain, a diagnosis of intestinal obstruction due to foreign substances like sand was made and an abdominal section and enterotomy were conducted to confirm and extract the intestinal stone (enterolith) on the right dorsal part of the ascending colon. The extracted intestinal stone was around 2.9 kg and greenish brown rugby ball sized ($22cm{\times}10cm$) stone. Analysis of the element components (EDX) using a scanning electron microscope revealed percentages of C (30.08%), O (39.85%), Mg (3.89%), P (11.15%), and Ca (11.16%) at a magnification of 400. This was the first example of a successful extraction and treatment of intestinal stone in a horse domestically and thereby has its significance.

In this paper, we studied the short circuit current and molten mark of polyvinyl chloride insulated flexible cords(VFF). The calory decreased remarkably with increase of current. The surface structure and composition of a strand wire were analyzed by stereoscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of a strand wire showed columnar and void. The intensity of CuL spectrum increased in melted mark.
