초음파와 대두유 용매를 병용하여 감 껍질 유래 카로티노이드 함유 대두유를 제조하고 그의 이화학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여, Box-Behnken design과 반응표면분석법을 이용하여 추출물의 카로티노이드 농도 기준 최적 추출조건(온도 62℃, 시간 32 min, 대두유/감 껍질 비율 3.1)을 결정하였고, 이 조건에서 얻은 추출물(카로티노이드 강화 대두유)과 무처리 대두유(control)의 이화학적 특성을 비교하였다. 추출물의 총카로티노이드 함량은 강화되었고, 이러한 카로티노이드 강화 대두유의 색도는 대조구보다 명도는 낮았지만 높은 적색도와 황색도값을 보였다. 대두유의 산화 및 가열 안정성에 대한 초음파 처리와 감 껍질 유래 카로티노이드의 영향은 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 카로티노이드 강화 대두유의 점도와 활성화 에너지는 대조구보다 약간 높았다. 이로써 감 껍질에 초음파-대두유 용매 추출법을 적용하여 황적색의 카로티노이드 강화 대두유의 제조가 가능하였고, 이는 일반 유지 대체제는 물론 첨가물로서도 활용성이 높을 것으로 기대된다.

배관에서의 균열 탐지를 위해서 비틀림 모드 유도초음파 검사법을 적용하였다. 배관에서 비틀림 모드의 생성 및 수신을 위하여 배열형 전자기음향 탐촉자 (EMAT, electromagnetic acoustic transducer)를 설계, 제작하였다. 직경 2.5 인치의 배관에 대해 주파수 2000kHz의 비틀림 모드 유도초음파를 적용하였으며 가진용으로 4개의 배열형 EMAT를 제작하였으며, 별도의 수신용 EMAT를 설계 제작하였다. 실제 중수로 피더관 mock-up에 대해 곡관부에 다양한 깊이의 인공 결함을 가공한 뒤 약 2 hi 거리에서 각각의 탐지능을 실험하였다. 결함 깊이가 관 두께 대비 5% 인 경우에도 결함 신호를 탐지할 수 있었으나 결함의 깊이와 신호 진폭과의 관계성은 나타나지 않았다.

수용액 속에 강력초음파를 조사(照射)하면 공동화기포 (cavitation bubble) 속의 매우 높은 온도의 열에 의해 수증기가 해리되어 OH (hydroxyl radical) 과 H (hydrogen radical) 이 생성되고 그것들이 수용액 속에 함유되어 있는 물질들을 산화 또는 환원시켜 분해시키며, 한편으로는 과산화수소를 생성한다. 따라서 생성된 과산화수소의 양과 유기물질의 초음파 분해반응메카니즘과는 상관관계가 있을 것임을 예측할 수 있으며, 이러한 예측을 확인하기 위해 공기로 포화시킨 증류수와 그 증류수에 각각 TCE, Benzene, 그리고 2,4-DCP 등 세 가지 유기물질들을 용해시킨 수용액으로부터 생성된 과산화수소의 양을 측정하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 생성된 과산화수소의 양은 증류수>TCE수용액>2,4-DCP수용액 >benzene수용액의 순으로 많고 유기물질의 농도가 낮을수록 적어 TCE는 높은 온도의 수용액에서는 고온과 고압인 공동화기포내와 그 공동화기포가 파열될 때 그 주위에서 직접 열분해되고 저농도의 수용액에서는 라디칼반응에 의해 분해되며, 벤젠과 2,4-DCP는 열분해 및 라디칼반응에 의해 분해된다고 제안된 초음파 분해반응메카니즘과 일치함을 나타내었다. 사용한 실험변수인 초음파의 주파수와 음향출력, 그리고 시료물질의 농도 등의 영향은 주파수가 높고 음향출력이 낮을수록 과산화수소의 생성량이 적어 수중에 강력초음파를 조사(照射)하였을 때의 에너지원인 공동화와 이들 변수와의 관계에 대한 초음파이론과 일치하였다.

Objective: Laser ablation is a therapeutic modality used to reduce the volume of large benign thyroid nodules. Unsatisfactory reduction and regrowth are observed in some treated nodules. The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes of laser treatment for solid nodules during a 5-year follow-up period, the regrowth rate, and the predictive risk factors of nodule regrowth. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients with benign, solid, cold thyroid nodules who underwent laser ablation and were followed-up for 5 years. According to the selection criteria, 104 patients were included (median baseline nodule volume, 12.5 mL [25.0-75.0%, 8-18 mL]; median energy delivered, 481.5 J/mL [25.0-75.0%, 370-620 J/mL]). Nodule volume, thyroid function test results, and ultrasound were evaluated at baseline and then annually after the procedure. Results: Of 104 patients, 31 patients (29.8%) had a 12-month volume reduction ratio (VRR) < 50.0% and 39 (37.5%) experienced nodule regrowth. Of these 39 patients, 17 (43.6%) underwent surgery and 14 (35.9%) underwent a second laser treatment. The rate of nodule regrowth was inversely related to the 12-month VRR, i.e., the lower the 12-month VRR, the higher the risk of regrowth (p < 0.001). The mean time for nodule regrowth was 33.5 ± 16.6 months. The 12-month VRR was directly related to time to regrowth, i.e., the lower the 12-month VRR, the shorter the time to regrowth (p < 0.001; R² = 0.3516). Non-spongiform composition increased the risk of regrowth with an odds ratio of 4.3 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8-10.2; p < 0.001); 12-month VRR < 50.0% increased the risk of regrowth with an odds ratio of 11.7 (95% CI 4.2-32.2; p < 0.001). Conclusion: The VRR of thyroid nodules subjected to similar amounts of laser energy varies widely and depends on the nodule composition; non-spongiform nodules are reduced to a lesser extent and regrow more frequently than spongiform nodules. A 12-month VRR < 50.0% is a predictive risk factor for regrowth and correlates with the time to regrowth.

The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/CNT composite is prepared by ultrasound associated sol-gel method. The prepared composite is characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD and TG analysis, and their electrochemical behaviors are investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and charge-discharge test in 1M $LiBF_4$/PC electrolyte. From the results, it is identified that the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ nanoparticles coated on CNT surface have regular size with around 10~30 nm and spinel-framework structure. At the current rate of 20C, the discharge capacities of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/CNT composites with CNT contents of 15, 30 and 50 wt% are 57, 63 and $48mAhg^{-1}$, respectively, which have similar value. The improved electrochemical behavior of the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$/CNT composite electrode is attributed to the addition of CNT with electronic conductivity.

Ultrasonic inspection of heavy walled cast austenitic stainless steel(CASS)welds is very difficult due to complex and coarse grained structure of CASS material. The large size of anisotropic grain strongly affects the propagation of ultrasound by severe attenuation, change in velocity, and scattering of ultrasonic energy. therefore, the signal patterns originated from flaws can be difficult to distinguish from scattered signals. To improve detection and sizing capability of ID connected defect for heavy walled CASS piping welds, the low frequency segmented TRL Pulse Echo and Phased Array probe has been developed. The experimental studies have been performed using CASS pipe mock-up block containing artificial reflectors(ID connected EDM notch). The automatic pulse echo and phase array technique is applied the detection and the length sizing of the ID connected artificial reflectors and the results for detection and sizing has been compared respectively. The goal of this study is to assess a newly developed ultrasonic probe to improve the detection ability and the sizing of the crack in coarse-grained CASS components.

The performance of a downward-irradiation sonoreactor was investigated using calorimetry, KI dosimetry, luminol (Sonochemiluminescence, SCL) method, and aluminium foil erosion method as one of the basic steps for the optimal design of downward-irradiation sonoreactors. The applied frequency was 28 kHz and the input electrical power was 280 - 300 W. The liquid height, from the reactor bottom to the transducer module surface, ranged from 1λ (53.6 mm) to 2λ (107.1 mm). For various liquid heights, the magnitude of calorimetric power and the mass of cavitation-generated I₃^- ion varied significantly. It was found that the additional application of mechanical mixing resulted in higher sonochemical activity, especially in the cavitational active zone, which was induced by violent liquid flow in the reactor. In aluminium foil erosion tests, it was found that less ultrasound energy reached the bottom of the reactor due to the violent liquid flow and no significant sonophysical effect was observed for higher mixing rate conditions (100 and 200 rpm).

Tibial defect, or fracture is very routine musculoskeletal case which brings fully uncomfortable and painful situations to patient. Moreover, it has long hospitalization period because of its risk of non-union. There are many studies using ultrasound, vibration, and laser for bone regeneration to figure out fast bone healing. Among them, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is already known that it is very easy to treat and may have positive effect for bone regeneration. However, LLLT has uncertain energy dose because of scattering and absorption of laser in tissue. In this study, we used interstitial LLLT to treat tibial defect in animal study. The Interstitial LLLT can overcome some limitations caused by laser scattering or absorption in tissue medium. The results were evaluated using u-CT which can calculate X-ray attenuation coefficient and bone volume of bone defect area. These results showed that interstitial LLLT may affect fast bone healing process in early phase.

Struvite precipitation has been proven to be an effective method in removing and recovering ammonia nitrogen (N) and phosphate phosphorus (P) from wastewater. In this study, effects of pH, molar ratios and pre-treatment of effluent of anaerobically digested swine wastewater were investigated to improve struvite crystallization. The magnesium : ammonium : phosphate ratio of 1.2 : 1.0 : 1.0 was found to be optimal, yet the molar ratio in the wastewater was 1 : 74.9 : 1.8. From the analysis, the optimum pH was between 8.0 and 9.0 for maximal phosphate P release and from 8.0 to 10.0 for maximal ammonia N and phosphate P removal from real wastewater. Analysis from Visual MINTEQ predicted the pH range of 7-11 for ammonia N and phosphate P removal and recovery as struvite. For pre-treatment, microwave pre-treatment was ineffective for phosphate P release but ultrasound pre-treatment showed up to 77.4% phosphate P release at 1,000 kJ/L of energy dose. Precipitates analysis showed that phosphorus and magnesium in the collected precipitate had almost same values as theoretical values, but the ammonia content was less than the theoretical value.
