The closed cycle diesel system is operated in closed circuit system where there is non air breathing with working fluid consisted of the combination of oxygen, argon and recycled exhaust gas for obtaining underwater or underground power sources. this study has been carried out to analysis the performance of closed cycle system by means of investigation on the combustion characteristics of diesel engine MTU8V183TE52 operating in open, semi-closed, and closed cycle modes. The combustion in closed mode starts a little bit earlier than in open cycle mode. The oxygen concentration and fuel consumption at 240kW closed cycle running are 21∼24% by volume and 77∼79kg/h, respectively. The maximum cylinder pressure and ignition delay time are investigated 110bar and 8.9degree. Also, The combustion simulation program has been studied to predict whether or not combustion. The results from numerical prediction for the basic, cylinder averaged quantities such as the cylinder pressure and the heat release showed excellent with the experimental data.

In this paper, CdS thin films, which were widely used window layer of the CdTe and the Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ thin film solar cell, were grown by chemical bath deposition, and effects of pH of reaction solution on the structural and optical properties were investigated. For pH<10.5, as the pH of reaction solution was higher, the deposition rate of CdS films was increased by improving ion-by-ion reaction in the substrate surface and the crystallinity of the films was improved. However, when the pH was higher than 10.5, the deposition rate was decreased because of smaller $Cd^{2+}$ ion concentration in the reaction solution. Also, the crystallinity of the films were deteriorated. The CdS films deposited at lower pH showed poor optical transmittance due to adsorbed colloidal particles, while the transmittance was improved for higher pH.

This paper introduces a novel concept of the pulsed neutron facility (PNF) for maximizing the production of the thermal neutrons and its application to medical use based on prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) using Monte Carlo simulations. The PNF consists of a compact D-T neutron generator, a graphite pile, and a detection system using Cadmium telluride (CdTe) detector arrays. The configuration of fuel pins in the graphite monolith and the design and materials for the moderating layer were studied to optimize the thermal neutron yields. Biological samples - normal and cancerous breast tissues - including chlorine, a trace element, were used to investigate the sensitivity of the characteristic γ-rays by neutron-trace material interactions and the detector responses of multiple particles. Around 90 % of neutrons emitted from a deuterium-tritium (D-T) neutron generator thermalized as they passed through the graphite stockpile. The thermal neutrons captured the chlorines in the samples, then the characteristic γ-rays with specific energy levels of 6.12, 7.80 and 8.58 MeV were emitted. Since the concentration of chlorine in the cancerous tissue is twice that in the normal tissue, the count ratio of the characteristic g-rays of the cancerous tissue over the normal tissue is approximately 2.

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of the bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density of the specially-developed glass samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm³ with the addition of Bi₂O₃, despite the fact the molar volume is decease within 85.43-54.79 cm³/mol. The WinXcom program was used to approximate the effect of Bi₂O₃ on the gamma radiation shielding parameters of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glasses. The ㎛ values decrease with the increase of Bi₂O₃ concentration. The computed data shows that the glass sample with 20 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ content has the greatest radiation attenuation performance in comparison to other selected glasses. The Bi₂O₃-TiO₂-V₂O₅-Na₂O-TeO₂ glass system shows excellent neutron shielding material with high long-term light transmittance and discharge resistance and could be potentially used as transparent radiation-resistant shielding glass applications.

In the present study, six silicone rubber doped by tellurium borate oxides were fabricated using the casting method. The densities of the fabricated silicon rubber-doped by tellurium borate oxides samples were measured using the Archimedes Method. Moreover, the linear attenuation coefficient of silicone rubber doped tellurium borate oxides samples was evaluated experimentally using the hyper pure germanium, and the recorded linear attenuation coefficient values were affirmed using the theoretical Phy-X program. The experimental measurements were performed using the narrow beam transmission method with radioactive isotopes Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60 with energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV. The linear attenuation coefficient values showed an enhancement by 4.73 times, 1.20 time, 1.17, time, and 1.17 time, respectively at gamma photon energies of 59, 661, 1173, and 1332 keV, when the TeO₂ concentration increased in the fabricated composites from 0 to 50 wt%. The enhancement of the linear attenuation coefficient values has a positive effect on the transmission rate values where the half-value thickness and transmission rate were decreased accompanied by an increase in the RPE.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill exercise on oxidative stress in the hippocampal tissue and mitochondrial dynamic-related proteins in rats fed a long-term high-fat diet (HFD). [Methods] Obesity was induced in experimental animals using high fat feed, and the experimental groups were divided into a normal diet-control (ND-CON; n=12), a high fat diet-control (HFD-CON; n=12) and a high fat diet-treadmill exercise (HFD-TE; n=12) group. The rats were subsequently subjected to treadmill exercise (progressively increasing load intensity) for 8 weeks (5 min at 8 m/min, then 5 min at 11 m/min, and finally 20 min at 14 m/min). We assessed weight, triglyceride (TG) concentration, total cholesterol (TC), area under the curve, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance, and AVF/body weight. Western blotting was used to examine expression of proteins related to oxidative stress and mitochondrial dynamics, and immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the immunoreactivity of gp91phox. [Results] Treadmill exercise effectively improved the oxidative stress in the hippocampal tissue, expression of mitochondrial dynamic-related proteins, and activation of NADPH oxidase (gp91phox) and induced weight, blood profile, and abdominal fat loss. [Conclusion] Twenty weeks of high fat diet induced obesity, which was shown to inhibit normal mitochondria fusion and fission functions in hippocampal tissues. However, treadmill exercise was shown to have positive effects on these pathophysiological phenomena. Therefore, treadmill exercise should be considered during prevention and treatment of obesity-induced metabolic diseases.

목적 : 새로운 개념의 macromolecular MR 조영제를 개발하여 자기이완적 특성 및 조직특이성 조영제로서의 가능성을 탐색해 보고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법 : Phthalocyanine (PC)을 상자성 원소의 배위자로 선택하였다. 2.01g (5.2 mmol)의 Phthalocyanine을 0.37 g(1.4mmo1)의 Mn chloride와 $310^{\circ}C$에서 36시간동안 반응시킨 후 혼합물을 크로마토그래피(CHC13/CH3OH 98/2 v/v, Rf, 0.76)로 정제하여 1.04 g (46%)의 MnPC (분자량 2000)를 얻었다. 0.1 mM로 희석시킨 MnPC를 1.5T(64MHz) MR 장비를 이용하여 T1/T2 자기이완율을 측정하였다. MnPC의 MR 영상 특성을 알아보기위해 1.5T MRI에서 스핀반향 기법(TR/TE= 500/14 msec)과 경사에코 기법중 FLASH 기법(TR/TE=80/4 msec, flip angle=60)을 사용하여 매 10분 간격으로 최고 4시간까지 연속적으로 토끼의 간에서 영상을 획득하였다. 농도별 차이를 알아보기위해 MnPC를 20 mM, 50 mM, 100 mM로 희석하여 사용하였다. 결과 : MnPC의 1.5 T(64 MHz)에서의 자기이완율은 Rl : 7.28 $mM^{-1}S^{-1}$, R2=55.56 $mM^{-1}S^{-1}$으로 small molecular weight 조영제인 Gd-DTPA의 Rl(=4.8 $mM^{-1}S^{-1}$), R2(=5.2 $mM^{-1}S^{-1}$) 값과 비교할 때 T1/T2 자기이완율이 매우 컸다. 스핀반향과 FlASH 기법 모두에서 조영증강은 조영제 주사후 약 10분 정도에 최고치에 달한 후 약 2시간 정도까지 유지하였다. MnPC는 small molecular weight의 간특이성 조영제들인 Gd-EOB-DTPA, Gd-BOPTA 및 MnDPDP과 비교할 때 조명증강을 유지하는 시간이 훨씬 더 긴 특성을 보였다. MnPC는 시간 경과에 따라 담도로 배출되었다. 결론 : 새로운 종류의 macromolecular MR agent인 MnPC를 자체 개발하였고 자기이완율을 측정한 결과 T1/T2 효과가 기존의 small molecular Gd-chelate에 비해 매우 큼을 알 수 있었다. MnPC는 간세포에 흡수된 후 담도계로 배출되는 간특이성 조영제임을 확인하였다.

낙동 비소-비스무스 광상에서 산출되는 Pb-Ag-Bi-S계에 광물로는 방연석-마틸다이트(matildite) 고용체, 코살라이트(cosalite) 및 헤이로브스카이트(herovskyite)가 있다. 방연석-마틸다이트 고용체의 경우 자연비스무스와 더불어 황철석내의 틈을 채우면서 산출되는데, 불규칙한 모양을 이룬다. 코살라이트는 석영맥내에서 자연비스무스, 헤이로브스카이트 및 Bi-Te-S계 광물들을 포함하며, 타형의 독립된 결정으로 산출된다. 낙동광상에서 산출되는 마틸다이트는 $Ag_{1.07-1.11}Bi_{1.12-1.20}S_2$의 단성분 조성을 이루는 것므로 이상화학조성에 비해 $0.3{\sim}2.4$mole%의 $Bi_2S_3$가 초과 함유되어 있다. PbS와 $AgBiS_2$를 단성분하는 고용체의 경우 PbS는 약 54 mole% 이하의 함량을 나타내고, 그 이상의 경우는 관찰되지 않는다. 연구지역 코살라이트의 평균화학소성은 $Pb_{1.79}Bi_{2.29}Ag_{0.12}S_5$로서 순수한 코살라이트에 비하여서는 Pb가 결핍되어 있으며, Ag와 Cu를 각각 최대 1.47 wt.%와 0.27 wt.% 함유하고 있다. 헤이로브스카이트는 $Pb_{5.01}Ag_{0.26}Bi_{2.70}S_9$ 조성을 보이는데 $2Pb^{2+}$에 대한 $Ag^++Bi^{3+}$의 쌍치환과 더불어 $3Pb^{2+}$에 대한 $2Bi^{3+}$의 치환이 함께 일어난 것으로 여겨진다. 낙동광상의 Pb-Ag-Bi-S계 광물들의 생성 조건은 대략 $220{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ 온도와 200bar 미만의 압력인 것으로 해석된다.

The purpose of this study was to find out how sleep characteristics by Sasang constitution (SC) appear in Vietnamese immigrant women in Korea, and how sleep aberration by SC affected the quality of life. The number of 217 Vietnamese immigrant women joined this study. We surveyed SC with Korea Sasang Constitutional Diagnostic Questionnaire (KS-15) and sleep characteristics with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI) questionnaire. We evaluated quality of life(QoL) with Euro Quality of Life-5Dimension(EQ 5D) questionnaire. A Chi-square test and a one-way ANOVA test were conducted according to SC, and T test also used to compare PSQI groups. Significant p was .05. The number(rate) of Taeeumin(TE), Soeumin(SE), and Soyangin(SY) were 40(18.4%), 55(25.3%), and 122(56.2%) respectively. The distribution of obstructive factors of sleep were significantly different according to SC(Too Cold in Sleeping, x =13.378, p=.037, Too Hot in Sleeping x²=12.834, p=.046). The distribution of daytime drowsiness(x²=15.379, p=.018) and falling concentration power (x²=17.533, p=.008) was significantly different according to SC. The sleep status of the subjects showed a significant negative correlation with the EQ 5D Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) (r =-.399, p<.001), and the EQ 5D Index (r=-.211, p=.002). In the EQ VAS, TE showed a difference between the good and bad sleeping groups (t=3.955, p<.001). SE showed a difference between the two groups in the EQ 5D Index (t=2.332, p=.037). SY did not show a difference between the two groups. This study reveals that sleeping is closely related with QoL and distribution of obstructive factors of sleep may be different according to SC. Further study to confirm the constitutional difference in race at Vietnam is needed.
