Recently, with the development of technologies for the fourth industrial revolution, convergence and complex technology are being applied to aircraft, electronic home appliances and mobile devices, and the number of parts used is increasing. Increasing the number of parts and the application of convergence technologies such as HW (hardware) and SW (software) are increasing the No Defect Found (NDF) phenomenon in which the defect is not reproduced or the cause of the defect cannot be identified in the subsequent investigation systems after the discovery of the defect in the product. The NDF phenomenon is a major problem when dealing with complex technical systems, and its consequences may be manifested in decreased safety and dependability and increased life cycle costs. Until now, NDF-related prior studies have been mainly focused on the NDF cost estimation, the cause and impact analysis of NDF in qualitative terms. And there have been no specific methodologies or examples of a working-level perspective to reduce NDF. The purpose of this study is to present a practical methodology for reducing NDF phenomena through data mining methods using quantitative data accumulated in the enterprise. In this study, we performed a cluster analysis using market defects and design-related variables of mobile devices. And then, by analyzing the characteristics of groups with high NDF ratios, we presented improvement directions in terms of design and after service policies. This is significant in solving NDF problems from a practical perspective in the company.

Single C-vacancy and pyridine-like N3 defect are usually formed on the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) and they have unique properties for potential applications. In this paper, we use density functional theory to investigate the discrepancies of such two structures from the geometric and electronic aspects. Our results indicate that the existed single vacancy in the SWCNT can lead to somewhat electron localization because of the lone pair electrons; while the N3 embedded SWCNT ( N3-SWCNT) has stronger chemical reactivity and electron localization than the single vacancy SWCNT (SV-SWCNT) due to the great charge transfer between N3 group and C atom on the tube sidewall. Through the investigation of Ag-doping on the above two nano-structures, we found that the single Ag atom is much more stably adsorbed on the N3- SWCNT sidewall compared with SV-SWCNT, forming higher binding energy and higher electron transfer. Our calculation would shed light on the physicochemical property of SWCNT-based material and thus extend their potential applications in many fields.

Recently, a number of recent reports have reported cases of bone marrow defect (BMD) in the mandible. Among the diseases seen by BMD in radiographs, focal osteoporotic bone marrow defect(FOBMD) is asymptomatic, which is discovered incidentally and localized radiolucency. Because it varies in size, shape, trabeculae and border definition, it needs to biopsy to differential diagnose other intraosseous lesions that show radiological bone marrow defects. This cases report discusses the pre-operation considerations in patients planning to implant the mandible and suspected to have FOBMD in radiographs. The following 4 cases in Dental Hospital of Wonkwang University were taken in panoramic and Cone beam computed tomography(CBCT). In all cases, there were radiolucent lesion diagnosed with FOBMD under radiologic differential diagnosis. In three of cases the implant were placed without treatment plan change and one case changed the treatment plan with removable partial denture. BMD is anatomical state that can affect primary stability of implant fixture. During implant placement, it can lead to unexpected results that fixture is fallen into BMD and the nerve may be damaged after implant fixture removal to cause hyperesthesia. Preoperative diagnosis of these lesions by differential diagnosis with panoramic and CBCT can prevent the complications by changing the treatment plan or paying attention to the manipulation during surgery.

Background: Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant epithelial tumor of the salivary gland in the oral cavity. In South Korea, it occurs most frequently in the palate, retromolar area, floor of the mouth, buccal mucosa, and other areas of the oral cavity. MEC is rare in children and adolescents under 20 years of age, but it is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor in this group. Reconstructive surgery is often required due to cystic lesions or resection of malignancy in the oral cavity. Buccal fat pad (BFP) is a flap that is reliable and suitable for reconstructing oral defects because it has a low complication rate and small volume change over time. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 12-year-old female patient with low-grade MEC on light soft palate with no neck metastasis. After tumor resection the palatal mucosal defect was reconstructed with a BFP flap. Conclusion: The purpose of this article is to discuss the features and treatment methods of MEC that is rarely occurring in children, and the usefulness of BFP for reconstruction. Therefore, we will make a precise diagnosis and treatment as we examine the clinical feature and review the literature.

노거수는 사람으로 따지면 노년기에 해당하여 다른 나무에 비해 기후변화 등 환경변화에 취약하며, 강한 바람과 눈 피해로 가지 부러짐, 쓰러짐 등 큰 피해를 받을 수 있다. 이러한 위험요인으로부터 노거수를 건강하게 보존하기 위해서는 체계적인 진단과 정기적인 모니터링이 이루어져야 한다. 다행히 천연기념물로 지정한 노거수를 대상으로는 ｢문화 재보호법｣에 따라 5년마다 정기조사를 실시하고 ｢천연기념물(식물) 상시관리 지침｣에 따라 예방적 모니터링을 하고 있다. 모니터링 항목으로는 나무 생육상태 진단을 위해 수세, 수형, 신초, 잎 크기, 가지고사, 병해충, 토양 건습도 등을 조사하고 있으나 항목은 정성적으로 평가되며, 육안조사 위주의 주관적 판단에 따라 생육진단이 이루어지고 있어 조사자에 따라 평가에 차이가 발생할 수 있다. 객관적인 생육상태 평가를 위해 생장추, 천공저항, 사이고미터(Shigometer), X-ray 등의 방법이 사용되고 있으나 생장추와 천공은 나무에 구멍을 내기 때문에 나무에 물리적 영향을 미치거나 직접적인 부후 확산의 가능성이 있고, 사이고미터는 조사자와 측정 환경에 따른 값의 변화폭이 크고 수목에 따라 정확도에 차이가 있을 수 있다. 천연기념물 노거수나 보호수의 경우 물리적으로 구멍을 뚫는 천공 방식을 적용하는데 한계가 있기 때문에 비파괴적으로 나무 내부를 진단하고 정량적으로 생육상태를 평가할 수 있는 단층촬영방법을 적용할 수 있다. 국내에 관련 연구는 거의 없는 실정으로 본 연구는 내부 단층촬영법을 이용해 노거수 생육상태 평가 연구의 기초자료 구축을 목적으로 한다. 조사는 2018년 3월 ~ 2018년 7월 동안 천연기념물 노거수 및 보호수로 지정된 느티나무, 매실나무, 소나무 10주를 대상으로 PiCUS 장비를 이용해 음파 단층촬영(sonic tomography) 및 전기저항 단층촬영(electric resistance tomography)을 실시하였다. 두 단층촬영 결과를 종합하여 나무 내부의 생육상태를 진단하고 대상 나무의 부후(decay)와 공동(cavity) 유무, 위치, 부후수준, 훼손된 목재 면적(damaged areas) 등을 도출하였다. 음파 및 전기저항 단층촬영법은 노거수 생육현황 조사시 육안조사를 보완하여 생육진단의 정확성을 높이고 측정 결과를 정량화하며 생육상태 모니터링 DB 구축에 도움이 될 수 있을 것이다. 나무 내부단층촬영법은 2000대 초부터 국외를 중심으로 연구가 이루어졌으나 국내 자생 수종을 대상으로 진행된 바가 거의 없으며 노거수 등 직경 1m 이상의 나무를 대상으로 한 연구도 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 나무 내부단층촬영법을 시범 적용한 연구로 후속적으로는 주요 자생 수종에 본 방법을 적용하여 장비의 정확성을 검증하는 기초 연구를 실시하고, 다음 단계로 이를 활용해 노거수 생육상태를 객관적으로 진단할 수 있는 평가기준을 마련하여 천연기념물 노거수와 보호수를 효율적으로 관리해야 할 것이다.

As the 3D laser scanning technology capable of databaseing large sewage box culverts becomes possible, it is necessary to develop a standardization manual that can clearly distinguish the structural and operational defect types of box culver and analyze the defect data. In this study, we collected and analyzed defects in sewage box culverts of 14,827m in total by selecting three districts in Korea. The major defects were surface damages, and their defect densities were 2.17 m2/m, 0.27 m2/m and 0.10 m2/m for aggregate exposure, Steel reinforcement exposure, and Steel reinforcement projecting. In order to support the decision of the box culverment management, it was divided into five grades and each defect code and defect score were allocated. The results of this study are useful for the diagnosis of the sewage box culverts in Korea and it is expected to support a decision making for management.

In this study, the surface passivation process for InP-based quantum dots (QDs) is investigated. Surface coating is performed with poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) and thioglycolic acid. The quantum yield (QY) of a PMMA-coated sample slightly increases by approximately 1.3% relative to that of the as-synthesized InP/ZnS QDs. The QYs of the uncoated and PMMA-coated samples drastically decrease after 16 days because of the high defect state density of the InP-based QDs. PMMA does not have a significant effect on the defect passivation. Thioglycolic acid is investigated in this study for the effective surface passivation of InP-based QDs. Surface passivation with thioglycolic acid is more effective than that with the PMMA coating, and the QY increases from 1.7% to 11.3%. ZnS formed on the surface of the InP QDs and S in thioglycolic acid show strong bonding property. Additionally, the QY is further increased up to 21.0% by the photochemical reaction. Electron–hole pairs are formed by light irradiation and lead to strong bonding between the inorganic and thioglycolic acid sulfur. The surface of the InP core QDs, which does not emit light, is passivated by the irradiated light and emits green light after the photochemical reaction.

This study is a study on the cracking of the main piston surface which is generated in the injection molding machine to generate mold force. The main piston machining process consists of high frequency heat treatment, grinding and super finishing after lathe turning. Scale, defect size, and fracture texture were observed for four cracks on the surface of the piston during the tempering process after high frequency heat treatment using a metallurgical microscope. In this study, it was confirmed that the cracked structure of the piston structure was ferrite and pearlite structure. It was confirmed that cracks progressed to 480 ㎛ and scale layer of 3 ㎛ or less. Surface hardening layer and hardness were min 2.0mm/HRc 58±2 spec 1.6 mm/HRc 56.5~57.5 In addition, cracks on the surface of the piston appear perpendicular to the rolling process. Therefore, it can be assumed that the crack occurred in the low temperature tempering process at 200°C or less after the high frequency heat treatment, not the material defect. Therefore, the temperature should be maintained at 200°C or higher during tempering after high-frequency heat treatment, and the cracking defect on the surface of the piston can be prevented by setting the feed rate to 1.3 mm/s or less during heat treatment.

내염소성 원생동물인 크립토스포리디움, 지아디아 등 병원성 미생물의 제거에 대한 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 정수 처리 공정에서 막여과 시스템이 각광받고 있으며, 이러한 신뢰성을 보증하기 위해 막 완결성에 대한 연구가 중요시되고 있다. 막 완결성 시험은 크게 직접법과 간접법으로 분류되는데, 직접법 중 압력기반의 시험은 버블포인트 이론을 근간으로 병원성 미생물의 최소 크기인 3 μm 크기 이상을 감지할 수 있는 감도로 USEPA Guidance Manual에서 제시하고 있다. 간접법은 온라 인 상태에서 연속적인 운전이 가능하다는 점에서 널리 사용되지만, 직접법에 비해 현저히 낮은 막 손상 감지 감도를 가지고 있 으며, 손상 부위를 특정 지을 수 없는 한계가 있기에 이러한 감지 감도를 개선해야 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 압 력 손실 시험에 의한 막 완결성 시험을 통해 막 파단 형태별, 파단 개수, 초기설정압력값에 따른 압력손실률과 LRVDIT 신뢰 성 범위를 상호 비교함으로써 막 손상에 따른 감도의 결과를 정량화하여 UCL 기준을 나타내어 비교 평가하였다.

Nondestructive testing is a method of inspecting particular target objects without destructing them in industrial sites. Infrared thermal imaging is one of the nondestructive testing techniques. Among them, lock-in infrared thermography technique is a technique to detect a defect by generating a temperature difference of an object using periodic heat waves. This paper deals with the development of lock-in infrared thermography technique by using numerical analysis model for SM45C metal specimens. As a result, the appropriate frequency was determined for defect detection in SM45C metal specimen by using the established thermal behavior mechanism by periodic heat wave.
