The purpose of this study were to investigate the chemical composition, mean particle size, linear thermal expansion coefficient and metal-bonding strength of the regular opaque powder and core powder. In this study, 4 types of ceramic powders, namely Duceram Jacket Opaque powder, Duceram Opaque powder, Vita Hi-Ceram powder, Vita VMK Paint On-88 powder were used. Chemical composition was evaluated by EDS(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectrophotometer, Oxford QX-2000, England), particle size was measured by MALVERN Instruments(MALVERN Instruments SB. OC., U.S.A.. ad linear thermal expansion coefficient was measured by dilatometer(Motoyama, Japan). Bond strength was measured by the Universal tsting machine(Istron Co., Ltd., U.S.A.). The Results were as follows : 1. Through recognition of the relative difference in chemical composition between the core powder and the regular opaque powder, the difference in the proportion of $Al_2O_3$ in each type of material is demonstrated ; Duceram Jaket Opaque powder : 30.16%, Duceram Opaque powder : 16.60%, Vita Hi-Ceram : 63.64%, Vita VMK Paint-On 88 : 16.16%. 2. There was no significant difference in the proportion of metal-bonding materials between the core powder and the regular opaque powder. 3. In the regular opaque powder, alkaline materials were incoporated in order to increase the coefficient of thermal expansion. 4. In the particle size analysis, there was no significant difference in mean particle size or in the particle size distribution between the core powder and the regular opaque powder. 5. In the thermal expansion test for temperature range of $25-600^{\circ}C$, the regular opaque powder had higher coefficient of thermal expansion than that of core powder. 6. In the 4 point flexural bending test, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean bond strength between the core powder and the opaque powder among the Duceram products.

The aims of this study were to evaluate the adequate thickness of opaque resins for situations such as an oral black cavity and discolored tooth structure, as well as the translucency of each opaque material at various thicknesses. Six opaque-shade composite resins (Z-350 OA3, Amelogen Universal A2O, Esthet-X A2O, Esthet-X A4O, Charmfil UO and Aelite Universal OA3) were prepared in metal molds with a hole of 8 mm in diameter and various thicknesses (0.5mm, 1.0mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0 mm and 4.0mm). Four backgrounds (white tile, black tile, C4 shade porcelain and opaque resin itself) were used to determine the translucency parameter (between black and white backgrounds). and to mimic a black oral cavity (between black and opaque resin backgrounds) and a discolored tooth structure (between C4 and opaque resin backgrounds). Color measurements were made by a colorimeter to determine the CIELAB values of each specimen with each background and to calculate the translucency parameter and ${\Delta}E^*$ value difference among the specimens on the backgrounds. The translucency parameter and ${\Delta}E^*$ obtained between black and opaque resin backgrounds decreased in similar pattern as thickness increased. A C4 background was masked by resin thicknesses of 0.5-1.0mm, while a black background required thicknesses of 1.0-2.0mm. Adequate knowledge about differences in the optical character like translucency of the materials used is essential, together with the accumulated experience of the individual clinician.

Statement of problem Metal-ceramic restorations have been used extensively by dental clinicians for nearly 40 years. Strength an functional ability of metal-ceramic restorations are proved to be satisfying, However esthetics and biocompatibility of metal alloy which is used in metal-ceramic restoration is not ideal. Using pure gold as an alternative, have advantage of esthetics, biocompatibility over conventional metal alloy. But there had been little article which studied on the color effect of pure gold on fual porcelain color. Purpose The purpose of this study was to spectrophotometrically evaluate the difference between color of metal alloy(Au-Pt, Ni-Cr) and pure gold, during color masking procedure with opaque porcelain and to analyze the differences, Material and Methods Three types of metal - base metal(Ni-Cr), high gold alloy(Au-Pt), pure gold(GES) - specimen were fabricated 1cm in diameter. Four steps were established - after finishing, after pre-coditioning, after application of first opaque porcelain(0.08mm in thickness), after application of second opaque porcelain(0.15mm in thickness)- and tested color with spectrophotometer every each steps and analyzed with $CIEL^*a^*b^*$ color order system. One-Way ANOVA test was used to and out if there were significant differences between groups tested and Shaffe multiple comparison was used to identify where the differences were. Results 1. After finishing and pre-conditioning, pure gold(GES) group showed most high values in $L^*,a^*,b^*$. 2. After application of first opaque porcelain(0.08mm in thickness), after application of second opaque porcelain(0.15mm in thickness), pure gold(GES) group showed the least difference in $L^*,a^*,b^*$ values and the lowest ${\Delta}E$ value(${\Delta}E$=0.63). 3. After application of first opaque porcelain and after application of second opaque porcelain differences that were significant (P<0.05) between groups were found only in $a^*$ values. 4. Base metal alloy group showed the lowest $a^*$ value in test after application of first opaque porcelain and the highest value in test after application of first opaque porcelain Conclusion Pure gold group and high gold group showed higher $a^*$ values than base metal group when tested after 0.08mm thickness of opaque porcelain was applied and pure gold group showed much similar $L^*,a^*,b^*$ values between 0.08mm thickness and 0.15mm thickness of opaque porcelain. This meant that pure gold was more easily masked by opaque porcelain than the other two groups.

본 연구에서는 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity와 배경색 차단 능력을 평가하였다. 24개의 배경 시편 (직경 5.5 mm, 두께 3 mm)을 Tescera ATL Root dentin Mustard로 제작하고 배경판 레진 상에 7종의 opaque shade 복합레진 (Universal composite, Filtek Z350, Charisma, Clearfil ST, Palpaque Estelite, Esthet-X, Metafil Flo)과 통상적인 복합레진인 Estelite Sigma를 3.0 mm 적층 수복하였다. 적층된 opaque shade 복합레진의 표면 색상을 측정한 후, 적층한 두께가 0.5 mm가 될 때까지 0.3 mm 간격으로 적층된 면을 연마하면서 각 두께에서의 표면 색상을 측정하였다. 연마 후 각 두께에서 측정된 opaque shade 복합레진의 표면 색상과 적층 전의 배경판 색상, 그리고 연마전의 표면 색상 간의 색차를 계산하여 두께에 따른 배경색 차단 능력을 평가하였다. 또한 1 mm 두께의 시편을 제작하고 opacity를 측정하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. Opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity는 Clearfil ST, Metafil Flo, Filtek Z350, Palpaque Estelite, Universal composite, Charisma, Esthet-X 순으로 감소하였다 (p < 0.05). Opaque shade 복합레진의 두께의 감소에 따라 $L^*$ 값은 감소하는 양상을, $a^*$ 값은 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 연마 전 표면 색상과 연마 후 각 두께에서의 색차 (${\Delta}E^*$)는 Clearfil ST 군은 모든 군에서, Metafil Flo 군은 1.0 mm 이상에서 3 이하의 색차를 보였다. 배경 색상에 대한 각 opaque shade 복합레진의 색차는 모든 두께에서 10 이상의 색차를 보였으며, Clearfil ST와 Metafil Flo가 가장 큰 색차를 보였다 (p < 0.05). 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 opaque shade 복합레진들은 제조사에 따라 서로 다른 opacity와 색상을 가진다. 따라서 재료의 선택에 있어 적용하고자 하는 병소의 특성에 따라 opaque shade 복합레진의 opacity와 색상에 대한 충분한 고려가 필요하리라 사료된다.

The effects of packaging materials on preserving the functional component of pine bud beverage stored under UV (ultraviolet) light exposure conditions were studied. The order of UV light blocking properties of the selected packages was: opaque can> opaque PET (polyethylene terepthalate) with green lamination=transparent PET with 10% PEN (polyethylene naphthalate) blending> transparent PET, and did not depend on film thickness in specified range. At 20${^{\circ}C}$, the order of preserving degree of original color and endobornyl acetate, which is quality index of pine bud beverage, was the same as above. Exposure to UV light can cause of deterioration of functional food components, but green color lamination and blending of PEN materials with transparent PET help to preserve the UV sensitive pine bud beverage components. However, the treated PET bottles have poorer preservation capabilities than the opaque cans. Transparent PET with PEN blending, in particular, will be very useful packaging material for colorful functional beverage preservation by helping to protect the ingredients while attracting consumer attention.

Purpose: This study was investigated the bonding strength of two kinds of Ni-Cr alloy with respect to the condition of surface treatment. Methods: The surface treatment was performed on the two kinds of Ni-Cr alloy (B alloy and R alloy) specimens, which were sandblasted with $50{\mu}m$, $110{\mu}m$, and $250{\mu}m$ aluminium oxide and were treated with opaque application (paste and wash opaque). The roughness on the surfaces of the specimens was observed. The metal-ceramic interfaces were analyzed with EPMA in order to ionic diffusion, and the shear test was performed. Results: The BA250 specimen, which has higher surface roughness, showed the highest bonding strength in B specimens. In R specimens, the bonding strength of RA110 specimen was the highest. Conclusion: B specimen formed a mechanical bond between metal-ceramic interfaces; however, in the case of R specimen, a chemical bond was formed between that interfaces. There was no significant statistical difference between the bonding strengths of two types of specimens (p>0.05).

The essential requirement of a material to be used for engineering purposes at nuclear establishments is its ability to attenuate the most penetrating ionizing radiations, gamma $({\gamma})-rays$. Mostly, high-Z materials such as heavy concrete, lead, mercury, and their mixtures or alloys have been used in the construction of nuclear establishments and thus termed as nuclear engineering materials (NEM). The NEM are classified into two categories, namely opaque and transparent, depending on their behavior towards the visible spectrum of EM waves. The majority of NEM are opaque. By contrast, various types of glass, which are transparent to visible light, are necessary at certain places in the nuclear establishments. In the present study, ${\gamma}-ray$ shielding behaviors (GSB) of six glass samples (transparent NEM) were evaluated and compared with some opaque NEM in a wide range of energy (15 keV-15 MeV) and optical thickness (OT). The study was performed by computing various ${\gamma}-ray$ shielding parameters (GSP) such as the mass attenuation coefficient, equivalent atomic number, and buildup factor. A self-designed and validated computer-program, the buildup factor-tool, was used for various computations. It has been established that some glass samples show good GSB, thus can safely be used in the construction of nuclear establishments in conjunction with the opaque NEM as well.

비교적 접근이 용이한 육상 및 천해에서 석유의 생산은 이미 완료되었거나 대부분이 진행 중이기에 석유 생산 지역이 점차 심해로 확장되고 있다. 심해와 같은 저온환경에서 석유생산이 이루어지면 석유의 부존환경과 다른 온도와 압력에 노출되어 생산시스템에 다양한 고형물이 집적되어 석유가 안정적으로 생산되지 못하게 하는 유동안정성 확보 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 고형물 중 왁스는 온도에 민감하기 때문에 왁스의 집적을 예측하고 제어하기 위해서는 오일 내 왁스가 석출되기 시작하는 온도인 왁스생성 온도의 정확한 측정이 요구되나 표준화된 측정법이 존재하지 않아 다양한 방법이 제안되고 있는 실정이다. 이 연구에서는 점도측정법, 시차주사열량법, 필터막힘점측정법, 압력필터측정법을 적용하여 불투명 오일의 왁스생성온도를 측정하고, 이를 검증하기 위해 고형물생성유도장치와 가스크로마토크래피를 이용하였다. 이 연구결과를 통해 오일특성에 따른 왁스생성온도 실험법을 체계화한다면 불투명 오일의 왁스생성온도 측정법 표준화하는데 주요자료로 이용할 수 있어 왁스에 의한 유동안정성 확보 문제를 예측하고 해결하는데 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The material world around human is normally composed of opaque one, with which human has made the spaces. The opaque material to make space has played a role to control the relationship among people and has produced socio-cultural things since the history started. The opening of opaque material(wall) connects one space with the other. Therefore, the meaning of opening is a connection among people who are in different spaces in terms of sociology. In conjunction with this, socio-cultural situation has been deployed differently. In the traditional european domestic space, the glass has been applied to this opening since they found the glass. It disconnects two spaces physically but connects them visually. Therefore, without blocking the opening visually, the glass became to protect people with their interior space from outside environment. The important thing is that the application of the glass in a building had been restricted because of opening size. However, after Industrial Revolution with the advanced technology of architecture, the glass came to be applied to the building and it became widen. So, the concept of glass window became to be the one of glass wall. This change made a transformation of visual character between two spaces which are separated with glass wall. This means that the glass wall gave two directional visibility while the glass window gave one directional visibility from inside to outside of space. This is because the amount of the natural light to the interior space increased due to widen glass in a space. This gave a change of visual authority and the space of surveillance(interior space) became to the one of communication. The space of surveillance, Michel Foucault mentioned in his book surveillance and punishment, is a very private one that is not visually permeable from the people outside, while the space of communication is a public one which needs other eyes. In the space of publicity, there needs a rationality, morality and ethics because of public surveillance and in the space of privacy, there restores a desire for sex and assaults.
