It is known that the relative dielectric constant of insulating polyethylene matrix composites with conducting materials (such as carbon black and metal powder) increases as the conducting material content increases below the percolation threshold. Below the percolation threshold, dielectric properties show an ohmic behavior and their value is almost the same as that of the matrix. The change is very small, but its origin is not clear. In this paper, the dielectric properties of carbon black-filled polyethylene matrix composites are studied based on the effect medium approximation theory. Although there is a significant amount of literature on the calculation based on the theory of changing the parameters, an overall discussion taking into account the theory is required in order to explain the dielectric properties of the composites. Changes of dielectric properties and the temperature dependence of dielectric properties of the composites made of carbon particle and polyethylene below the percolation threshold for the volume fraction of carbon black have been discussed based on the theory. Above the percolation threshold, the composites are satisfied with the universal law of conductivity, whereas below the percolation threshold, they give the critical exponent of s = 1 for dielectric constant. The rate at which the percentages of both the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss factor for temperature increases with more volume fraction below the percolation threshold.

N-channel poly-Si TFT, processed by Solid Phase Crystalline(SPC) on a glass substrate, has been investigated by measuring its electrical properties before and after stressing. It is observed that the threshold voltage shift due to electrical stress varies with various stress conditions. Threshold voltages measured in 1.5um and 3um poly-Si TFT’s are 3.3V, 37V respectively. With the threshold voltage shift, the degradation of transconductance and subthreshold swing is also observed.

We have observed the short-channel effect, narrow-channel effect and small-geometry effect in terms of a variation of the threshold voltage. For a short-channel effect the threshold voltage was largely determined by the DIBL effect which stimulates more carrier injection in the channel by reducing the potential barrier between the source and channel. The effect becomes more significant for a shorter-channel device. However, the potential, field and current density distributions in the channel along the transverse direction showed a better uniformity for shorter-channel devices under the same voltage conditions. The uniformity of the current density distribution near the drain on the potential minimum point becomes worse with increasing the drain voltage due to the enhanced DIBL effect. This means that considerations for channel-width effect should be given due to the variation of the channel distributions for short-channel devices. For CCDs which are always operated at a pinch-off state the channel uniformity thus becomes significant since they often use a device structure with a channel length of > 4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and a very high drain (or diffusion) voltage.

Pain is a common and important clinical symptom, and treatments aimed at relieving pain have a central position in medical practice. Recently Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) has been effectively used to control acute and chronic conditions that produce pain. But the mechanism of analgesia resulting from TENS remains obscure. In order to investigate the analgesic effect of TENS and it's action mechanism, TENS was applied in 40 rabbits with different frequencies, low frequency (2Hz) and high frequency (100Hz), for 20 minutes. And the pain threshold was measured by the temperature before and after stimulation, and an attempt was made to antagonize the stimulation effect with naloxone pretreatment (0.4 mg/kg) The results are as follows: 1) Both low frequency and high frequency TENS resulted in increasing the pain threshold significantly (Both p<0.01). 2) Naloxone pretreatment could antagonize the effect of increasing the pain threshold with low frequency TENS significantly (p<0.01), but not with high frequency TENS. Plasma beta-endorphin was measured by radioimmunoassay using an Beta-Endorphin Kit (Immunonuclear Corporation, Stillwater, Minnesota, USA) and Automatic Gamma Scintillation Counter (Micromedic System 4/2000) before and after stimulation. An attempt was made to reverse the stimulation effect with naloxone pretreatment (0.4 mg/kg). The results are as follows: 1) Low frequency TENS resulted in increasing the level of plasma beta.endorphin significantly (p<0.01), but high frequency TENS did not. 2) Naloxone pretreatment could reverse the effect of increasing the plasma beta-endorphin level with low frequency TENS significantly (p<0.01).

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of iontophoresis on transdermal delivery of procaine hydrochloride in healthy volunteers, as well as to the synergic effect of high voltage current or ultrasound on the efficacy of transdermal delivery of iontophoresis. Forty healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to four groups topical application group (TA), iontophoresis group (IT), pre-treatment of high voltage current stimulation with iontophoresis (HVS + IT), and pre-treatment of ultrasound application with iontophoresis (US + IT). All subjects received procaine iontophoresis on the forearm using direct current with 4 mA f3r 15 minutes. All subject was measured the duration of local anesthesia, pressure pain threshold, pain perception threshold using rectangular wave at 0.2 ms, 1 ms, 50 ms of rectangular current stimulation after procaine iontophoresis. For comparisons of the sensory characteristics and efficacy of iontophoresis between the groups, an one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis were used. The significant difference the duration of local anesthesia were found between the groups (p<0.001). The local anesthetic duration of IT, HVS+IT were significantly longer than TA. Meanwhile, the local anesthetic duration of US+IT was significantly longer than HVS+IT, IT and TA group (p<0.05). Also, the pressure pain threshold, pain perception threshold at 0.2 ms, 1 ms, 50 ms were significant difference between the groups (p<0.001). All sensory characteristics including pressure pain threshold, pain perception threshold of IT, HVS+IT was significantly increased than TA, whereas, US+1T was significantly increased HVS+1T, IT and TA (p<0.05). This study showed that the procaine iontophoresis have increase the duration of local anesthesia concomitantly pressure pain threshold and pain perception threshold of sensory nerve fibers such as $A-{\beta}$, $A-{\delta}$ and C fiber. This findings suggest that the iontophoresis enhanced the transdermal delivery of drug ions in vivo. The combination of ultrasound application and iontophoresis synergized the transdermal delivery of drug ions. It is suggests that an electric field, mechanical and heating property of ultrasound may contribute to synergic effect due to temporary changes of structure in the stratum corneum.

건설서비스 양허하한선 인하 문제는 국내 중 소 건설업체의 이해관계와 밀접하게 연관되어 있는 바, 국내 관련 제도 및 건설시장에 미치는 영향에 대한 세부적 분석이 필요하다. 특히 중 소 건설업체를 위한 '지역제한입찰제도' 및 '지역의무공동도급제도' 등에 영향을 미치고, 궁극적으로는 이들 업체의 수주시장에도 변화가 예상되므로 이에 대한 사전적 검토가 필수적이다. 그러나 이러한 양허하한선을 낮출 경우 우리나라의 건설산업에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대한 연구는 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건설서비스 양허하한선 조정으로 인한 실제 수주시장의 변화를 전망해 보고 그 실질적인 효과를 분석하여 '건설서비스 양허하한선 인하' 문제에 대한 기본 입장 정립의 근거 자료를 제시하고자 한다. 현재 WTO GPA의 적용을 받는 우리나라의 양허하한선은 정부발주공사의 경우는 500만 SDR(74억원)이며, 지자체와 기타공사의 경우에는 1,500만 SDR(222억원)이다. 정부는 지방자치단체 및 공기업 등 기타기관의 건설서비스 양허하한선에 대하여 '지역의무공동도급제도' 등을 고려하여 높은 수준을 유지하는 것이다. 우리나라의 지방정부기관 및 공기업의 건설서비스의 양허하한선은 일본과 함께 현재 1,500만 SDR로서, 여타국의 500만 SDR에 비해 월등히 높게 설정된 상황이며 최근 미국을 중심으로 EC 등 주요 회원국은 지방정부기관 및 공기업의 하한선을 외국의 경우와 같이 500만 SDR로 인하할 것을 요구하고 있다. 분석결과 이러한 500만 SDR로의 개방 확대는 '07년 기준으로 총 2조 105억원 규모의 시장이 축소되어, 이는 지역업체들에게 부담을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 지역업체들의 수주 비중은 규모가 작은 공사일수록 높아지므로, 총 2조 105억원 규모의 시장감소(공동도급 1조 6,802억원, 단독도급 3,407억원)는 지역업체 수주활동에 적지 않은 영향을 미칠 것으로 분석된다.

본 논문에서는 굽은 비선형 도파로를 이용한 솔리톤 결합기의 동작 특성에 대해 알아 보았다. 이 굽은형 솔리톤 결합기는 기존의 솔리톤 결합기와 마찬가지로, 비선형 도파로에서의 솔리톤 방출의 문턱값 효과로 인해 매우 날카로운 스위칭 특성을 갖는다. 또한 이 결랍기의 굽은 구조는 솔리톤 방출을 위해 요구되는 최소 입력 파워의 문턱값을 낮추어 준다. 굽은형 솔리톤 결합기를 통한 파의 전송을 보다 정확하고 실제적으로 수치 해석하기 위해 비선형성의 포화 효과와 매질에서의 손실을 고려하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 포화 효과와 손실을 고려하는 것이 비선형 도파로 소자의 해석과 설계에 있어서 매우 중요하다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 이러한 굽은 구조의 적용은 포화 효과와 손실을 고려했을 때, 낮은 문턱값 파워를 가지고 공간 솔리톤을 방출시키는데 유용하다.

The most critical health effect of lead exposure is the neurodevelopmental effect to children caused by the increased blood lead level. Therefore, the endpoint of the risk assessment for lead-contaminated sites should be set at the blood lead level of children. In foreign countries, the risk assessment for lead-contaminated sites is conducted by estimating the increased blood lead level of children via oral intake and/or inhalation (United States Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA), or by comparing the estimated oral dose to the threshold oral dose of lead, which is derived from the permissible blood lead level of children (Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment, RIVM). For the risk assessment, USEPA employs Integrated-Exposure-Uptake-Biokinetic (IEUBK) Model to check whether the estimated portion of children whose blood lead level exceeds 10 µg/dL, threshold blood lead level determined by USEPA, is higher than 5%, while Dutch RIVM compares the estimated oral dose of lead to the threshold oral dose (2.8 µg/kg-day), which is derived from the permissible blood lead level of children. In Korea, like The Netherlands, risk assessment for lead-contaminated sites is conducted by comparing the estimated oral dose to the threshold oral dose; however, because the threshold oral dose listed in Korean risk assessment guidance is an unidentified value, it is recommended to revise the existing threshold oral dose described in Korean risk assessment guidance. And, if significant lead exposure via inhalation is suspected, it is useful to employ IEUBK Model to derive the risk posed via multimedia exposure (i.e., both oral ingestion and inhalation).
