폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)/talc 컴파운드를 talc의 조성을 20wt%로 하여 마스터뱃취(master-batch, MB)와 사출기를 이용한 직접 제조법으로 각각 제조하였다. MB는 talc 함량을 50wt%로 하여 소형 혼합기(mini compounder)로 $200^{\circ}C$에서 제조하였다. SEM-EDS를 이용하여 PP/talc 컴파운드의 talc 분산정도를 평가하였다. MB를 이용하여 제조한 컴파운드의 talc 분산성이 우수하게 나타났다. PP/talc 컴파운드의 유변학적 특성을 동적유변측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. MB를 이용한 MB-PP 컴파운드가 직접 제조한 컴파운드보다 shear thinning과 탄성특성이 증가하였다. G'-G" plot의 기울기 변화로부터 talc 분산성 정도를 확인하였고, 탄성특성 증가를 확인하기 위해 Van Gurp-Palmen 분석을 이용하였다.

Palm Oil Fuel Ash(POFA)는 콘크리트의 물리적 특성 및 내구성을 향상시키기 위해 일정량 시멘트를 치환하여 사용된다. 그러나 높은 강열감량과 각진 입자 형상으로 인해 POFA를 사용한 콘크리트의 워커빌리티가 감소한다. 본 연구에서는 micro-POFA를 혼입한 시멘트 페이스트의 초기 물리적, 수화 특성에 감수제 종류 및 사용량이 미치는 영향을 mini-slump 실험, 초기 압축 강도, TGA, XRD, SEM을 이용하여 검토하였다. micro-POFA 치환율이 증가함에 따라 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성은 감소하였으며, 감수제의 사용량이 증가할수록 시멘트 페이스트의 유동성은 증가하였다. 또한, 감수제의 사용은 시멘트 페이스트의 초기 압축 강도를 저하시켰으며, 사용량이 증가할수록 압축 강도 저하가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 미세분석을 통해 감수제가 C-S-H 형성을 억제하고 상대적으로 Ca(OH)₂의 생성량을 증가시켰기 때문이라고 사료된다.

Within the frame of the EMPIrE test, four monolithic mini-plates were irradiated in the ATR reactor. In two of them, the monolithic U(Mo) foil had been PVD-coated with Zr before the plate manufacturing. Extensive microstructural characterizations were performed on a fresh archive mini-plate, using Optical Microscopy (OM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) combined with Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), Electron Backscattered Diffraction (EBSD) and Focused Ion Beam (FIB)/Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) with nano EDS. A particular attention was paid to the examination of the U(Mo) foil, the PVD coating, the cladding/Zr and Zr/U(Mo) interfaces. The Zr coating has a thickness around 15 ㎛. It has a columnar microstructure and appears dense. The cohesion of the cladding/Zr and Zr/U(Mo) interfaces seems to be satisfactory. An almost continuous layer with a thickness of the order of 100-300 nm is present at the cladding/Zr interface and corresponds to an oxidized part of the Zr coating. At the Zr/U(Mo) interface, a thin discontinuous layer is observed. It could correspond to locally oxidized U(Mo). This work provides a basis for interpreting the results of characterizations on EMPIrE irradiated plates.

Experimental studies of laser micromachining on Mo diaphragm using piezo Q-switched Nd:YAZ laser have been performed. Application of miniaturized micorcolumn electron gun arrays as a potential electron beam lithography or portable mini-scanning electron microscope (SEM) application have recently extensively examined. The conventional microcolumn fabrication technique would give a limitation on the minimization of aberration, In this paper, we obtained 20~30 $\mu \textrm m$aperture of laser micromachining on Mo diaphragm using piezo Q-swithed Nd:YAG laser. The geometrical figures, such as the diameter and the preciseness of the drilled aperture are dependent upon the total energy of the laser pulse train, laser pulse width, and the diameter of laser spot in addition to the materials-dependent parameters.

A neural network based model is developed for the structural analysis of masonry infilled steel frames, which can account for the non-linearities in the material properties and structural behaviour. Using the data available from the analytical methods, an ANN model with input parameters consisting of dimension of frame, size of infill, properties of steel and infill was developed. It was found to be acceptable in predicting the failure modes of infilled frames and corresponding failure load subject to limitations in the training data and the predicted results are tested using the available experimental results. The study shows the importance of validating the ANN models in simulating structural behaviour especially when the data are limited. The ANN model was also compared with the available experimental results and was found to perform well.

현재 다이아몬드 공구에서 극세선에 브레이징 공정을 이용하여 다이아몬드를 접합하는 기술은 국내외 적으로 전무한 상태이다. 이 연구는 금속 와이어에 다이아몬드를 브레이징을 실시하여 최적의 와이어 브레이징 공정법을 개발 하는데 있다. 다이아몬드와 금속필러메탈 접합 계면에서의 금속성분과 탄화물의 거동을 분석하며, 브레이징에 따른 와이어의 물성 변화를 관찰하였다. 금속필러로는 Ag-Cu-5Ti(wt.%)을 사용하였으며, 와이어는 스테인리스를 이용하였다. 브레이징 공정은 진공 접합 장치를 이용하여 $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$에서 유지시간 $5{\sim}30$분로 실시하였다. 브레이징된 다이아몬드는 $900{\sim}950$도, 유지시간 10분 사이에서 각각 건전한 계면과 표면을 얻을 수 있었으며, 계면에서 Ti-rich상과 화합물이 확인되었다. 또한 열처리 따른 와이어의 최적의 건전한 상태를 고찰 하였다. 다이아몬드와 Ag계 브레이징 필러의 계면에서의 미세조직 및 화학반응의 메커니즘은 SEM, EPMA, XRD를 이용하여 분석하였다.

Objective The present study aimed to investigate relationship among cognitive factors (working memory and processing speed) and fluid reasoning (Gf) in psychiatric patients using a standardized clinical tool. Methods We included the responses of 115 heterogeneous patients who were diagnosed with the MINI-Plus 5.0 and WAIS-IV/WMS-IV was administered. For our analysis, structured equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to evaluate which cognitive variables are closely related to the Gf. Results The results showed that the visual working memory was the strongest predictor of the Gf compared to other cognitive factors. Conclusion Processing speed was capable of predicting the Gf, when visual working memory was controlled. The inter-relationship among the Gf and other cognitive factors and its clinical implications were further discussed.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different 3D dental resins, using a manufacturer recommended printer and a third-party printer, on cellular responses of human gingival cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three NextDent resins (Denture 3D+, C&B MFH and Crowntec) were used to produce specimens on printers NextDent 5100 (groups ND, NC and NT, respectively) and Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K (groups PD, PC and PT, respectively). Human gingival fibroblasts were cultured and biocompatibility was evaluated on days 1, 3 and 7. IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations were evaluated at 3 days using ELISA. Surface roughness was evaluated by a contact profilometer. SEM and fluorescence micrographs were analyzed at days 1 and 7. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS and mean differences were tested using ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests (P < .05). RESULTS. There was an increase in cellular viability after 7 days in groups PC and PT, when compared to group PD. ND group resulted in higher concentration of IL-6 when compared to PT group. SEM and fluorescence micrographs showed less adhesion and thinner morphology of fibroblasts from group PD. No significant differences were found regarding surface roughness. CONCLUSION. The use of different printers or resins did not seem to influence surface roughness. NextDent 5100 and Phrozen Sonic Mini 4K produced resins with similar cellular responses in human gingival fibroblasts. However, Denture 3D+ resin resulted in significantly lower biocompatibility, when compared to C&B MFH and Crowntec resins. Further testing is required to support its long-term use, required for complete dentures.

The objective of the present study was to investigate the efficacy of physical water treatment (PWT) technologies using different catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling in a once-through flow system with mini-channel heat exchanger. Effects of flow velocity and water hardness on the effectiveness of PWT technologies were experimentally studied. The artificial water hardness varied from 5.0 to 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ as CaCO$_{3}$. For 10 mo1/m$^{3}$ solution, fouling resistance reduced by 13-40$\%$ depending on flow velocity and types of PWT devices. On the other hand, fouling resistance reduced by 21-29$\%$ depending on the PWT devices for 5 mo11m3 solutions. The PWT device using alloy of Cu and Zn as catalyst (CM2) was slightly more effective than the others. SEM photographs of scale produced from the 10 mol/m$^{3}$ solution at 1.0 m/s indicated that calcium carbonate scales without PWT devices were needle-shaped aragonite, which is sticky, dense and difficult to remove. Scales with the PWT devices showed a cluster of spherical or elliptic shape crystals. Both the heat transfer test results and SEM photographs strongly support the efficacy of PWT technologies using catalytic materials and an electronic anti-fouling device in the mitigation of mineral fouling.

This paper reports the influence of number of layers and length of GFRP sheets wrapped onto RCC beams for strengthening. Twelve beams of size $700mm{\times}150mm{\times}150mm$ were cast and tested. Two beams without GFRP and ten beams wrapped in different lay-up patterns with one and two layers of GFRP sheets was subjected to three point loading test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test. Initial crack load, ultimate failure load and types of failure have been observed and noted. Experimental results indicate a significant increase in initial and ultimate load carrying capacity of GFRP wrapped beams compared to unwrapped beams. The failed control specimen was retrofitted using U wrap scheme and tested under three point loading.
