The supernumerary tooth which is extra tooth in comparison to normal dentition is one of the developmental problems. The most common type of supernumerary tooth is mesiodens which may cause several complications like delayed eruption, crowding, spacing et al. Moral Incisor Hypomineralization (MIH) describes the clinical appearance of enamel hypomineralization of systemic origin affecting one or more permanent first molars that associated frequently with affected incisors. We report a case of a 6 - year - old boy who visited our clinic for removal of mesiodentes. The patient was diagnosed by mesiodentes and MIH by clinical examination and radiographic examination. Under local anesthesia, Mesiodentes were removed surgically. The demarcated opacities, a feature of MIH, were observed in the removed mesiodentes. After removal of mesiodentes, the maxillary central incisors erupted normally and in order to manage the teeth affected MIH, follow-up and fluoride varnish application were done every 3 months.

본 연구에서는 강원도 강릉에 위치한 광산배수 처리시설 침전지에서 채취한 철 수산화물 기반의 슬러지를 자연 건조해 제조한 흡착제를 사용하여 인공 불소 수용액 및 실제 광산배수에 적용하여 흡착제의 불소 흡착 특성을 확인하였다. 실험에 사용된 흡착제의 화학적 성분, 광물학적 특성 및 비표면적을 분석한 결과, 주구성광물로 산화 철(Fe₂O₃)이 79.2 wt.%를 차지하며, 결정구조 분석에서 방해석(CaCO₃)과 관련된 피크가 분석되었다. 또한 불규칙한 표면과 216.78 m²·g^-1의 비표면적을 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. 실내 회분식 실험에서는 반응시간, pH, 초기 불소 농도 및 온도 등의 변화가 흡착량 변화에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 동적 흡착실험 결과, 불소의 흡착은 반응 시작 16시간 후 3.85 mg·g^-1의 흡착량을 보이며 흡착량이 증가하다 점차 흡착량의 증가율이 감소하였으며, 등온 흡착실험에서 확인된 흡착제의 이론적 최대 흡착량은 81.01 mg·g^-1으로 분석되었다. 또한 pH가 증가할수록 불소의 흡착량이 감소하는 모습을 보였으며, 특히 흡착제의 영전하점인 pH 5.5 부근에서 급격한 감소량을 나타냈다. 한편 등온 흡착실험의 결과를 Langmuir 및 Freundlich 등온 흡착 모델에 적용하여 사용한 흡착제의 불소 흡착 메커니즘을 유추한 결과, Freundlich 등온 흡착 모델과 더 높은 상관관계(R²=0.9138)로 일치하는 모습을 보였다. Van't Hoff 식을 활용하여 흡착제의 열역학적 특성을 파악하기 위해 25℃에서 65℃까지 온도를 증가시키며 획득한 흡착량 정보로 열역학적 상수 𝚫H°와 𝚫G°을 계산하여 흡착제가 흡열의 흡착 특성을 보이며 반응이 비자발적임을 도출하였다. 마지막으로 약 12.8 mg·L^-1의 불소 농도를 가지는 광산배수에 흡착제를 적용하여 실제 환경에서 흡착제의 적용가능성을 확인한 결과, 약 50%의 불소 제거효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다.

A POM-membrane was fabricated by immobilizing a keggin type polyoxometalate (POM) H5PV2Mo10O40 onto the surface of microporous flat-sheet polymeric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVFD) membrane using a chemical deposition method. The POM-membrane was characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDX to confirm existing of the POM onto the membrane surface. The POM-membrane was used to remove an anionic textile dye (Reactive Black 5 named as an RB5) from aqueous phases with a cross-flow membrane filtration and a batch adsorption system. The dye removal efficiency of the POM-membrane using the cross-flow membrane filtration system and the batch adsorption system was about 88% and 98%, respectively. The influence factors such as contact time, adsorbent dosage, pH, and initial dye concentration were investigated to understand the adsorption mechanism of the RB5 dye onto the POM-membrane. To find the best fitting isotherm model, Langmuir, Freundlich, BET and Harkins-Jura isotherm models were used to analyze the experimental data. The isotherm analysis showed that the Langmuir isotherm model was found to the best fit for the adsorption data (R2 = 0.9982, qmax = 24.87 mg/g). Also, adsorption kinetic models showed the pseudo second order kinetic model was found the best model to fit the experimental data (R2 = 0.9989, q = 8.29 mg/g, C0 = 15 ppm). Moreover, after four times regeneration with HNO3 acid, the POM-membrane showed high regenerability without losing dye adsorption capacity.

Heavy metal fluoride glasses exhibit considerable promise as high transparency materials from the UV to the IR. These glasses are prepared by fusion of the mixture of metal fulorides($ZrF_4$, $BaF_2$, $LaF_3$ etc) at 800-1, 00$0^{\circ}C$ under the inert$(N_2)$ or reactive ($CCl_4$, $Cl_2$) atmosphere following the casting into glass on cooling. Infrared absorption at the 3, 400 cm-1 -OH peak has been measured as a function of thickness for several ZrF-$BaF_2$-LaF and $HfF_4$-$BaF_2$-$LaF_3$ glasses to separate contributions from bulk and surface -OH. For glasses melted under $CCl_4$ reactive atmosphere the peak is due almost entirely to surface-OH. and melting in a closed reactor was best for removing -OH. In ambient atmosphere the -OH peak exhibited no time dependence over a 30 d period indicating a very small rate of surface attack by atmospheric H2O. Removal of -OH absorption processing was generally easier and more complete for the $BaF_2$/ThF4-glasses than for the $ZrF_4$-or $HfF_4$-based glasses.

Azeotropic drying process is routinely applied to enhance nucleophilicity of $[^{18}F]$fluoride ion during the nucleophilic production of PET radiotracers; however, the drying process requires usually 15-25 min. Due to the high demand of employing fluorine-18 ($t_{1/2}=109.8min$) in PET radiopharmaceutical production, several research groups have focused on the method development, obviating tedious removal process of the residual target water ($[^{18}O]H_2O$) for $[^{18}F]$fluoride ion complex to be used in radiofluorination. Some development in radiofluorination in a mixed organic solvent system was demonstrated with various aliphatic substrates, but only kryptand as a phase transfer agent was utilized in the reported method. Here, we extend to investigate the development scope of applicability with basic alkyl ammonium salt as a phase transfer agent through the extensive elution efficiency study and radiofluorination outcome for aliphatic radiofluorination.

Background: Radiation protection is crucial in various fields due to the harmful effects of radiation. Shielding is used to reduce radiation exposure, but gamma radiation poses challenges due to its high energy and penetration capabilities. Materials and Methods: This work investigates the radiation shielding properties of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) samples containing different weight fraction of tungsten carbide (WC), tungsten trioxide (WO₃), and tungsten disulfide (WS₂). Parameters such as the mass attenuation coefficient (MAC), half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number (Z_eff), and macroscopic effective removal cross-section for fast neutrons (Σ_R) were calculated using the Phy-X/PSD software. EpiXS simulations were conducted for MAC validation. Results and Discussion: Increasing the weight fraction of the additives resulted in higher MAC values, indicating improved radiation shielding. PVDF-xWC showed the highest percentage increase in MAC values. MFP results indicated that PVDF-0.20WC has the lowest values, suggesting superior shielding properties compared to PVDF-0.20WO₃ and PVDF-0.20WS₂. PVDF-0.20WC also exhibited the highest Z_eff values, while PVDF-0.20WS₂ showed a slightly higher increase in Z_eff at energies of 0.662 and 1.333 MeV. PVDF-0.20WC has demonstrated the highest Σ_R value, indicating effective shielding against fast neutrons, while PVDF-0.20WS₂ had the lowest Σ_R value. The Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport version 5 (MCNP5) simulations showed that PVDF-xWC attenuates gamma radiation more than pure PVDF, significantly decreasing the dose equivalent rate. Conclusion: Overall, this research provides insights into the radiation shielding properties of PVDF mixtures, with PVDF-xWC showing the most promising results.

A heat pipe residual heat removal system is proposed to be incorporated into the reactor driven subcritical (RDS) facility, which has been proposed by MIT Nuclear Reactor Laboratory for testing and demonstrating the Fluoride-salt-cooled High-temperature Reactor (FHR). It aims to reduce the risk of the system operation after the shutdown of the facility. One of the main components of the system is an air-cooled heat pipe heat exchanger. The alkali-metal high-temperature heat pipe was designed to meet the operation temperature and residual heat removal requirement of the facility. The heat pipe model developed in the previous work was adopted to simulate the designed heat pipe and assess the heat transport capability. 3D numerical simulation of the subcritical facility active zone was performed by the commercial CFD software STAR CCM + to investigate the operation characteristics of this proposed system. The thermal resistance network of the heat pipe was built and incorporated into the CFD model. The nominal condition, partial loss of air flow accident and partial heat pipe failure accident were simulated and analyzed. The results show that the residual heat removal system can provide sufficient cooling of the subcritical facility with a remarkable safety margin. The heat pipe can work under the recommended operation temperature range and the heat flux is below all thermal limits. The facility peak temperature is also lower than the safety limits.

In this study, the treatability of arsenic (As) contaminated water by direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) at different delta temperatures (${\Delta}T$) 30, 40 and $50^{\circ}C$ has been investigated. Two different pore sizes ($0.22{\mu}m$ and $0.45{\mu}m$) of hydrophobic membranes made of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were used. The membrane pore sizes, the operating temperatures, the feed solution As concentration and conductivity have been varied during the experimental tests to follow the removal efficiency and flux behavior. Both membranes tested had high removal efficiency of arsenite (As (III)) and arsenate (As (V)) and all permeates presented As concentration far lower than recommended $10{\mu}g/L$ of world health organization (WHO). As concentration was below detection limit in many permeates. Conductivity reduction efficiency was over 99% and the transmembrane flux (TMF) reached $19L/m^2.h$ at delta temperature (${\Delta}T$) of $50^{\circ}C$ with PVDF $0.45{\mu}m$ membrane. The experimental results also indicated that $0.45{\mu}m$ pore sizes PVDF membranes presented higher flux than $0.22{\mu}m$ pore sizes membranes. Regardless of all operating conditions, highest fluxes were observed at highest ${\Delta}T$ ($50^{\circ}C$).

지르코늄합금 튜브 제조공정은 튜브 산세 시 질산과 불산을 사용하고 있어 세척 시 발생되는 폐수의 주요 오염물질인 질산성질소와 불소성분을 제거하기 위한 폐수처리는, 1차 화학응집처리에 의한 불소성분 제거공정, 황산화탈질반응을 이용한 SOD (Sulfur Oxidation Denitrification)공법에 의한 독립영양탈질공정, 그리고 2차 화학응집처리공정으로 구성되어 있다. 본 연구에서는, 처리공정에서 불소의 농도가 황산화탈질공정(SOD)의 탈질반응에 미치는 영향과 황산화탈질반응을 유지하기 위한 최적 운전조건을 검토하였다. 황산화탈질 반응은 불소농도 20 ppm 이하에서 거의 영향을 주지 않았으며, NaOH로 pH를 조절하는 것보다 NaOH와 $NaHCO_3$를 혼합하여 pH와 알칼리도를 조절해주는 것이 질소제거당량을 높여주는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 황산화탈질미생물에 필요한 미량원소와 알칼리성분이 혼합된 미생물활성화제가 알칼리도를 보충해줄 뿐만 아니라 황산화탈질미생물의 성장과 증식에도 영향을 주었으며, 그 결과 무기계 산업폐수처리 시 필요한 주기적인 미생물 식종 없이 운전이 가능한 결과를 얻었다. 이상의 결과를 통해, 황산화탈질공법(SOD공법)이 산업폐수의 질산성질소제거에 매우 유용한 공법임이 확인되었으며, 미생물활성화제가 황산화탈질미생물의 활성화에 기여함이 밝혀졌다.
