  • MONTE-CARLO 시뮬레이션 방법을 이용하여 AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET의 Q-2DEG에서의 전자 에너지, 전자의 비행거리, 계곡 내 전자 점유분포, 전자의 평균 속도 등 각각의 천이특성을 전계를 달리하여 계산하였다. 전계가 강할수록 전자가 (100)계곡으로 급격하게 천이하며 속도 오버슈트가 급격하게 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 즉 속도 오버슈트와 같은 비정상상태를 포함한 전자 전달 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET와 같은 Q-2DEG를 이용한 이종접합 디바이스에서 속도 오버슈트가 전자의 고이동도를 얻는 중요한 요소가 될수 있음을 알 수 있다. 전계가 증가함에 따라 (100)계곡으로 천이하는 전자는 현저하게 증가하였다. 전자 천이 지속 시간은 전계 E=7KV/cm의 경우 1.4psec에서 전계 E=12KV/cm의 경우 0.7psec로 감소하였다. 전계 E=12KV/cm의 경우 Q-2DEG 전자는 천이 지속 시간동안의 속도 최대값이 실온에서 정상상태 속도 보다 거의 8배의 값을 갖는다. 속도 오버슈트에의한 Q-2DEG에서의 속도 향상은 서브 마이크로 게이트 단위의 AlGaAs/GaAs MODFET의 고이동도에 영향을 끼칠 수 있다. GaAs 벌크와 Q-2DEG에서의 속도 특성을 비교하여 전계 7KV/cm를 가했을 경우 2DEG의 속도 최대값은 GaAs 벌크에 비해 더 큰 값을 얻었다. GaAs에 비해 Q-2DEG에서의 산란이 덜 일어 남으로써 속도 오버슈트가 Q-2DEG에서 더 일찍 일어나며 GaAs 벌크 전자는 Q-2DEG 전자에 비해 전계에 의한 영향을 덜 받음을 알수 있으며, GaAs에 비하여 Q-2DEG는 속도천이하는 동안 속도 값이 더 크고 빠르게 천이하는 사실로써 GaAs 벌크를 이용한 디바이스보다 Q-2DEG를 이용하는 것이 더 큰 전자 이동도를 얻을 수 있으리라 생각한다.

  • 지하매질의 유동특성을 알기 위한 직접적인 방법은 아직도 현장수리시험에 의존하고 있다. 열극암반에서 유동모델의 개념정립을 위하여는 열극체계분포와 특히, 수리시험해석결과가 중요시되고 있다. 국내에서 수행되고 있는 수리시험은 조사공구간별에 따른 수리전도도를 방사상의 정상류로 가정하여 결과를 해석하고 있다. 또한 시험대상 매질을 균질한 대수층 또는 단순한 기하학적 형태의 매질로 간주하며 구간별 투수량계수는 시험구간을 가로지르는 각 열극의 투수량계수의 합과 같다고 가정한다. 국내 기존의 수리시험 및 해석방법으로는 수리학적 경계면의 영향(boundary effects)이나 유동로의 기하학적 형태(flow geometry)에 대한 자료를 얻기가 힘들며, 일정한 조사공 주변을 벗어나면 투수성열극의 연결성에 대한 정보를 구할 수 없다. 열극특성을 고려한 지하수유동 해석을 위하여 단일공 정압주입시험을 실시하였으며, 비정상류해석방법을 통하여 유동차원(flow dimension)에 대한 분석을 시도하였다. 시추시에는 단일패커시험을 일정구간별로 시행하였으며, 조사공의 시추후에는 이중패커에 의한 구간별 시험을 실시하였다. 비정상류해석으로 구한 수리전도도값은 정상류해석의 결과와 큰 차이(10배 이내)는 없었으나, 정압하에서 도출된 유동량변화곡선에서 유동차원분석이 가능하였다. 상부구간(<10m 깊이)의 단일 및 이중패커시험결과는 모두 정상류의 유동차원이 나타났으며, 이는 영향반경의 경계면이 open system임을 알 수 있다. 15m 깊이에서 도출된 유동량변화곡선은 1차원 유동상태에서 3차원(구상유동)으로 변화하였다. 하부구간(25m 깊이)의 시험결과는 closed system 특성이 관찰되었으며, 이는 조사구간에서 연결된 열극이 수리적으로 격리되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 현장수리시험으로부터 보다 많은 자료를 도출하기 위하여는 무엇보다도 수리시험장비의 보완이 필요하다. 특히 조사구간을 완벽하게 분리할 수 있는 패커장비와 미세한 유동량변화를 계측할 수 있는 유량계의 확보가 필수적이며, 조사구간의 압력변화를 자동기록할 수 있는 계측기기가 필요하였다.

  • Purpose : This study was undertaken to show the clinical results of combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia in primary hepatoma Materials and Methods : Between December 1989 and March 1993, 50 patients with hepatomas were treated by combined radiotherapy and hyperthermia. Among them, we analyzed retrospectively 33 patients who received the complete course of treatment. The ages of the patients ranged from 36 to 75(mean age: 55.5 years). Twenty-six patients ($78.8\%$) were men, and 7 ($21.2\%$ were women. According to Child's classification, nine patients ($27.3{\%}$) were A group, 9 ($27.3\%$) were B group, 15 ($45.4\%$) were C group. Radiation therapy was done by a 6 MV and 15 MV linear accelerator. Patients were treated with daily fractions of 150-180 cCy to doses of 2550 cGy -4950 cGy (median : 3000 cGy). Local hyperthermia was done by 8 MHZ RF capacitive heating device (Cancermia. Green Cross Co., Korea), 50-60 min/session, 1-2 sessions/wk, and 8.5 sessions (median number)/patient. We analyzed the prognostic factors including age, sex, tumor type, Child's classification, $\alpha$-fetoprotein, liver cirrhosis, ascites, portal vein invasion, esophageal varix, number of hyperthermia, chemotherapy, total bilirubin level, Karnofsky perfomance status. Results : The overall 1-year survival was $24.2\%$, with a mean survival of 10months. Of 33 patients, tumor regression (PR+MR) was seen in $30.4\%$, no response was seen in $52.2\%,\;17.4\%$ patient was progressed. In patients who had tumor regression, the overall 1-year survival was $42.1\%$ with a mean survival of 14 months. Factors influencing the survival were sex (p=0.05), tumor type (p=0.0248), Child's classification (p=0.0001), liver cirrhosis (p=0.0108), ascites (p=0.0009), and Karnofsky perfomance status (p=0.0028). Complications developed in 28 patients, including 18 hot pain,5 fat necrosis, 3 transient fever, 2 nausea and vomiting. Conclusion : In this study, the results suggests that combined radiotherauy and hyperthermia may improve the survival rate of hepatoma.

  • Taurine, a ${\beta}-amino$ acid, plays an important role as a neuromodulator and is necessary for the normal development of the brain. Since de novo synthesis of taurine in the brain is minimal and in vivo studies suggest that taurine dose not cross the blood-brain barrier, we examined whether the choroid plexus, the blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier, plays a role in taurine transport in the central nervous system. The uptake of $[^3H]-taurine$ into ATP depleted choroid plexus from rabbit was substantially greater in the presence of an inwardly directed $Na^+$ gradient taurine accumulation was negligible. A transient in side-negative potential gradient enhanced the $Na^+-driven$ uptake of taurine into the tissue slices, suggesting that the transport process is electrogenic, $Na^+-driven$ taurine uptake was saturable with an estimated $V_{max}$ of $111\;{\pm}\;20.2\;nmole/g/15\;min$ and a $K_M\;of\;99.8{\pm}29.9\;{\mu}M$. The estimated coupling ratio of $Na^+$ and taurine was $1.80\;{\pm}\;0.122.$ $Na^+-dependent$ taurine uptake was significantly inhibited by ${\beta}-amino$ acids, but not by ${\alpha}-amino$ acids, indicating that the transporter is selective for ${\beta}-amino$ acids. Since it is known that the physiological concentration of taurine in the CSF is lower than that in the plasma, the active transport system we characterized may face the brush border (i.e., CSF facing) side of the choroid plexus and actively transport taurine out of the CSF. Therefore, we examined in vivo elimination of taurine from the CSF in the rat to determine whether elimination kinetics of taurine from the CSF is consistent with the in vitro study. Using a stereotaxic device, cannulaes were placed into the lateral ventricle and the cisterna magna of the rat. Radio-labelled taurine and inulin (a marker of CSF flow) were injected into the lateral ventricle, and the concentrations of the labelled compounds in the CSF were monitored for upto 3 hrs in the cisterna magna. The apparent clearance of taurine from CSF was greater than the estimated CSF flow (p<0.005) indicating that there is a clearance process in addition to the CSF flow. Taurine distribution into the choroid plexus was at least 10 fold higher than that found in other brain areas (e. g., cerebellum, olfactory bulb and cortex). When unlabelled taurine was co-administered with radio-labelled taurine, the apparent clearance of taurine was reduced (p<0.0l), suggesting a saturable disposition of taurine from CSF. Distribution of taurine into the choroid plexus, cerebellum, olfactory bulb and cortex was similarly diminished, indicating that the saturable uptake of taurine into these tissues is responsible for the non-linear disposition. A pharmacokinetic model involving first order elimination and saturable distribution described these data adequately. The Michaelis-Menten rate constant estimated from in vivo elimination study is similar to that obtained in the in vitro uptake experiment. Collectively, our results demonstrate that taurine is transported in the choroid plexus via a $Na^+-dependent,saturable$ and apparently ${\beta}-amino$ acid selective mechanism. This process may be functionally relevant to taurine homeostasis in the brain.

  • 광학 보상 휨 액정디스플레이(OCB-LCD)는 빠른 응답속도와 광 시야각 특성 때문에 응용 분야가 많다. 하지만 OCB-LCD는 초기에 splay 상태로 배열되어 있고 계조 구동은 bend 상태에서 이루어지기 때문에 초기 splay 상태에서 bend 상태로의 빠른 전이가 필요하다. 기존에 순간적으로 고전압을 인가하는 방식과 달리 본 연구에서는 임계 전압과 광경화성 반응성 단량체의 고분자화를 통한 표면 선경사각 형성으로 초기 상태부터 bend 상태를 갖는 OCB-LCD를 제조하였다. 제조된 액정 셀의 전기 광학적 및 전기적 특성을 분석한 결과 본 연구에서 제조된 셀은 기존 OCB 셀에 비해 고 선경사각으로 인한 고속응답 특성을 보여주었고 액정 단량체에 의해 형성된 배향막 위의 고분자 층 형성에 따른 잔류 DC 값은 0.1 V 보다 적었다.

  • 싱크홀 발생의 주요 원인인 하수관거 배면의 공동 탐지를 위해 비파괴검사 방법 중 하나인 충격반향법을 적용한 실내 모형 실험을 수행하였다. 콘크리트 하수관의 모의를 위해 얇은 두께의 콘크리트 평판 시험체를 제작하였고 주변지반은 모래로 조성하였으며 공동의 모사를 위해 스티로폼 박스를 모래에 매립하였다. 콘크리트 판 배면이 공동인 경우와 완전히 모래에 밀착된 경우로 나누어 실험이 진행되었으며 일정한 타격 강도의 유지를 위해 새롭게 제작된 타격 장치를 사용하여 획득 자료의 신뢰성을 높였다. 측정된 반사파는 고속 푸리에 변환과 국소 푸리에 변환을 사용하여 주파수 특성 및 시간 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 푸리에 스펙트럼의 형상으로는 공동의 유무를 판별할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 공진 시간이라고 명한 새로운 지표를 제안하였다. 이는 공진 주파수가 일정 강도를 초과하는 지속 시간으로 정의하였다. 공진 시간은 공동의 유무를 효과적으로 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 나아가 공동유무를 구분할 수 있는 공진 시간을 제시하였다. 실제 현장 조건에서의 검증과 보다 광범위한 적용성의 확보를 위해 다양한 지반 조건에 대한 추가 실험과 실제 하수관에 대한 현장 실험 등을 진행할 예정이다.

  • Objective : Clinical and radiological results of posterior dynamic stabilization using interspinous U (ISU, $Coflex^{TM}$, Paradigm Spine $Inc.^{(R)}$, NY, USA) were analyzed in comparison with posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) in degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). Methods : A retrospective study was conducted for a consecutive series of 61 patients with degenerative LSS between May 2003 and December 2005. We included only the patients completed minimum 24 months follow up evaluation. Among them, 30 patients were treated with implantation of ISU after decompressive laminectomy (Group ISU) and 31 patients were treated with wide decompressive laminectomy and posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF; Group PLIF). We evaluated visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for clinical outcomes (VAS, ODI), disc height ratio disc height (DH), disc height/vertebral body length ${\times}100$), static vertebral slip (VS) and depth of maximal radiolucent gap between ISU and spinous process) in preoperative, immediate postoperative and last follow up. Results : The mean age of group ISU ($66.2{\pm}6.7$ years) was 6.2 years older than the mean age of group PLIF ($60.4{\pm}8.1$ years; p=0.003). In both groups, clinical measures improved significantly than preoperative values (p<0.001). Operation time and blood loss was significantly shorter and lower in group ISU than group PLIF (p<0.001). In group ISU, the DH increased transiently in immediate postoperative period ($15.7{\pm}4.5%{\rightarrow}18.6{\pm}5.9%$), however decreased significantly in last follow up ($13.8{\pm}6.6%$, p=0.027). Vertebral slip (VS) of spondylolisthesis in group ISU increased during postoperative follow-up ($2.3{\pm}3.3{\rightarrow}8.7{\pm}6.2$, p=0.040). Meanwhile, the postoperatively improved DH and VS was maintained in group PLIF in last follow up. Conclusion : According to our result, implantation of ISU after decompressive laminectomy in degenerative LSS is less invasive and provides similar clinical outcome in comparison with the instrumented fusion. However, the device has only transient effect on the postoperative restoration of disc height and reduction of slip in spondylolisthesis. Therefore, in the biomechanical standpoint, it is hard to expect that use of Interspinous U in decompressive laminectomy for degenerative LSS had long term beneficial effect.

  • Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have generated a strong interest in the development of solid-state devices owing to their low cost and simple preparation procedures. Effort has been devoted to the study of electrolytes that allow light-to-electrical power conversion for DSSC applications. Several attempts have been made to substitute the liquid electrolyte in the original solar cells by using (2,2',7,7'-tetrakis (N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9-9'-spirobi-fluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) that act as hole conductor [1]. Although efficiencies above 3% have been reached by several groups, here the major challenging is limited photoelectrode thickness ($2{\mu}m$), which is very low due to electron diffusion length (Ln) for spiro-OMeTAD ($4.4{\mu}m$) [2]. In principle, the $TiO_2$ layer can be thicker than had been thought previously. This has important implications for the design of high-efficiency solid-state DSSCs. In the present study, we have fabricated 3-D Transparent Conducting Oxide (TCO) by growing tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) nanowire (NWs) arrays via a vapor transport method [3] and mesoporous $TiO_2$ nanoparticle (NP)-based photoelectrodes were prepared using doctor blade method. Finally optimized light-harvesting solid-state DSSCs is made using 3-D TCO where electron life time is controlled the recombination rate through fast charge collection and also ITO NWs length can be controlled in the range of over $2{\mu}m$ and has been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Structural analyses by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal that the ITO NWs formed single crystal oriented [100] direction. Also to compare the charge collection properties of conventional NPs based solid-state DSSCs with ITO NWs based solid-state DSSCs, we have studied intensity modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS), intensity modulated photocurrent spectroscopy (IMPS) and transient open circuit voltages. As a result, above $4{\mu}m$ thick ITO NWs based photoelectrodes with Z907 dye shown the best performing device, exhibiting a short-circuit current density of 7.21 mA cm-2 under simulated solar emission of 100 mW cm-2 associated with an overall power conversion efficiency of 2.80 %. Finally, we achieved the efficiency of 7.5% by applying a CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite sensitizer.

  • Modern solid-state gyroscopes (HRG) with hemispherical resonators from high-purity quartz glass and special surface superfinishing and ultrathin gold coating become the best instruments for precise-grade inertial reference units (IRU) targeting long-term space missions. Designing of these sensors could be a notable contribution into development of Korea as a space nation. In participial, 40mm diameter thin-shell resonator from high-purity fused quartz, fabricated as a single-piece with its supporting stem has been designed, machined, etched, tuned, tested, and delivered by STM Co. (ATS of Ukraine) several years ago; an extremely-high Q-factor (upto 10~20 millions) has been shown. Understanding of the best way how to match such a unique sensor with inner glass assembly of the gyro means how to use the high potential in a maximal extent; and this has become the urgent task. Inner quartz glass assembly has a very thin indium (In) layer soldered the resonator and its silica base (case), but effects of internal resonances between operational modal pair of the shell-cup and its side (parasitic) modes can notable degrade the potential of the sensor as a whole, instead of so low level of resonator's intrinsic losses. Unfortunately, there are special combinations of dimensions of the parts (so-called, "resonant sizes"), when intensive losses of energy occurs. The authors proposed to use the length of stem's fixture as an additional design parameter to avoid such cases. So-called, a cyclic scheme of finite element method (FEM) and ANSYS software were employed to estimate different combinations of gyro assembly parameters. This variant has no mismatches of numerical origin due to FEM's discrete mesh. The optimum length and dangerous "resonant lengths" have been found. The special attention has been paid to analyses of 3D effects in a cup-stem transient zone, including determination of a difference between the positions of geometrical Pole of the resonant hemisphere and of its "dynamical Pole", i.e., its real zone of oscillation node. Boundary effects between the shell (cup) and 3D short "beams" (inner and outer stems) have been ranged. The results of the numerical experiments have been compared with the classic model of a quasi-hemispherical shell band with inextensional midsurface, and the solution using Rayleigh's functions of the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ kinds. To guarantee the truth of the recommended sizes to a designer of the real device, the analytical and FEM results have been compared with experimental data for a party of real resonators. The consistency of the results obtained by different means has been shown with errors less than 5%. The results notably differ from the data published earlier by different researchers.

  • Slot coating process, in continuous and patch modes, has been applied for the many precise coating products, e.g., flat panel displays and second batteries. However, manufacturing uniform coating products is not a trivial task at high-speed operations because various flow instabilities or defects such as leaking, bubbles, ribbing, and rivulets are frequently observed in this process. It is no wonder, therefore, that many efforts to understand the various aspects of dynamics and coating windows of this process have been made both in academia and industry. In this study, as the first topic, flow dynamics within the coating bead in slot coating process has been investigated using the one-dimensional viscocapillary model by lubrication approximation and two-dimensional model by Flow-3D software. Especially, operability windows in both 1D and 2D cases with various slot die lip designs have been successfully portrayed. Also, effects of process conditions like viscosity and coating gap size on slot coating window have been analyzed. Also, some experiments to find minimum coating thickness and coating windows have been conducted using slot die coater implemented with flow visualization device, corroborating the numerical results. As the second topic, flow dynamics of both Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids in patch or pattern slot coating process, which is employed in manufacturing IT products such as secondary batteries, has been investigated for the purpose of optimal process designs. As a matter of fact, the flow control in this system is more difficult than in continuous case because od its transient or time-dependent nature. The internal die and die lip designs for patterned uniform coating products have been obtained by controlling flow behaviors of coating liquids issuing from slot. Numerical simulations have been performed using Fluent and Flow-3D packages. Flow behavior and pressure distribution inside the slot die has been compared with various die internal shapes and geometries. In the coating bead region, efforts to reduce irregular coating defects in head and tail parts of one patterned coating unit have been tried by changing die lip shapes. It has been concluded that optimal die internal design gas been developed, guaranteeing uniform velocity distribution of both Newtonian and shear thinning fluids at the die exit. And also optimal die lip design has been established, providing the longer uniform coating layer thickness within one coating unit.
