In this study, an α-Fe2O3 (hematite) coated porcelain plate was sintered in a temperature range from 1100 oC to 1250 oC using ferrous sulfate. The specimens were investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and UV-visible spectrophotometer. It was confirmed that α-Fe2O3 (hematite) was densely fused to the surface at several tens of μm, the α-Fe2O3 (hematite) was in the form of thin platelet and polyhedra, and no other compounds appeared in the sintering process. In the specimen coated with α-Fe2O3 (hematite), the reflectance spectra show a red absorption band of 560-650 nm. The L* value decreased from 53.18 to 46.94 with the firing temperature. The values of a* and b* were at 19.03 and 15.25 at 1100 oC and gradually decreased with increasing temperature; these values decreased rapidly at 1250 oC to 11.54 and 7.98, respectively. It is considered that the new phases are formed by the phase transition of the porcelain plate (clay), and thus the a* and b* values are greatly influenced.

As an alternative to conventional explosive methods for demolition of concrete structures and rocks, the use of non-explosive demolition agents can be considered to reduce noise, vibration, and dust emissions during the demolition process. In this study, we conduct finite element analysis for crack initiation and propagation caused by the expansion of non-explosive demolition agents in square concrete structures. The predicted crack patterns are compared with the experimental results in the literature. The minimum values of the required expansion pressure of non-explosive demolition agents are also estimated, which depend upon the arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of empty holes on the fragmentation of concrete structures, and discuss the effective arrangement of non-explosive demolition agents and empty holes for fragmentation improvement.

인터넷과 스마트폰의 보급과 함께 사람들은 관심 있는 정보를 포털사이트에서 실시간으로 검색할 수 있게 되었다. 그에 따라 빅데이터가 비정형적으로 형성되고 이를 이용하기 위한 연구 분야가 발전하고 있다. 최근 식품분야 에서도 빅데이터를 활용한 연구의 필요성이 꾸준히 제기 되고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 최대 규모의 포털 사이트인 네이버의 검색 통계를 활용하여, 사람들의 연관 검색어 빈도에 따른 식품안전 사고 원인 식품과 식중독 원인 병원 체들의 관계를 분석하였다. 특히 식중독과 관련된 식품과 식중독 원인 병원체의 포털사이트 키워드 검색 건수와 해당 원인 식품 및 병원체의 뉴스검색 건수를 분석하였으며, 최종적으로 키워드 검색 건수와 실제 식중독 발생 시기의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 일반적으로 식중독 발생 직후 관련 키워드 검색 건수가 증가하는 것으로 나타 났으며, 특별하게 굴과 같은 계절성 식품의 경우 키워드 검색 건수 증가 이후에 식중독 사고가 발생한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 통해 검색 건수가 증가하는 식중독 세균이나 식품들을 식중독 사전 예방적 차원의 정보로 활용할 수 있다면 식중독 사고 발생 가능성을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A press which has a 20 percent share in machine tools is one of the production facilities. Recently hydraulic press is used to reinforce competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. The press by using metal powder makes products without additional process while conventional processing machine makes products after removing unnecessary parts. In this way, large quantity of products can be produced in a short time. Researches to manufacture products by the press have been proceeding after 1970. In this study, structure and displacement analysis for shape parameters for punch used as the component for hydraulic press was investigated and structural stability was identified based on the results.

Boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode has an extremely wide potential window in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, very low and stable background current and high resistance to surface fouling due to weak adsorption. These features endow the BDD electrode with potentially wide electrochemical applications, in such areas as wastewater treatment, electrosynthesis and electrochemical sensors. In this study, the characteristics of the BDD electrode were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and evaluated by accelerated life test. The effects of manufacturing conditions on the BDD electrode were determined and remedies for negative effects were noted in order to improve the electrode lifetime in wastewater treatment. The lifetime of the BDD electrode was influenced by manufacturing conditions, such as surface roughness, seeding method and rate of introduction of gases into the reaction chamber. The results of this study showed that BDD electrodes manufactured using sanding media of different sizes resulted in the most effective electrode lifetime when the particle size of alumina used was from 75~106 μm (#150). Ultrasonic treatment was found to be more effective than polishing treatment in the test of seeding processes. In addition to this, BDD electrodes manufactured by introducing gases at different rates resulted in the most effective electrode lifetime when the introduced gas had a composition of hydrogen gas 94.5 vol.% carbon source gas 1.6 vol.% and boron source gas 3.9 vol.%.

Background: The Pediatric Balance Scale (PBS) was developed to assess of balance ability in children with balance problem. The PBS was translated into Korean and its reliability had been studied. However, it had need to be verified using psychometric characteristics including item fit and rating scale. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate the item fit, item difficulty, and rating scale of the Korean version of PBS using Rasch analysis. Methods: In total, 40 children with cerebral palsy (CP) (boy=17, girl=23) who were diagnosed with level 1 or 2 according to the Gross Motor Function Classification System participated in this study. The PBS was performed, and was verified regarding the item fit, item difficulty, rating scale, and separation index and reliability using Rasch analysis. Results: In this study, the ‘transfer’, and ‘turning to look behind left and right shoulders while standing still’ item showed misfit statistics. in total 40 children with CP. Also, ‘transfer’, ‘standing unsupported with feet together’ and ‘standing with one foot in front’ items showed misfit statistics in diplegia CP group. Regardless of the classification of CP, the most difficult item was ‘standing on one foot’, whereas the easiest item was ‘sitting with back unsupported and feet supported on the floor’. The 4 rating scale categories of PBS were acceptable with all criteria. Both item and person separation indices and reliability showed acceptable values. Conclusion: The PBS has been proven reliable, valid and is an appropriate tool, but it needs to modify the items of PBS according to CP classification.
