    Notes: A systematic study of the effect of sputtering conditions, for each layer of the magneto-optical SiN 500 A(ring)/TbFeCo 200 A(ring)/SiN 200 A(ring)/Al 600 A(ring) disks, such as power and Ar gas flow rate on the noise levels (NL) and carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) was performed for the 532 nm high density storage media in this work. The NL dropped to its minimum value of −71.3 dB as the sputtering power for the first SiN increased from 0.5 to 1.5 kW. With a further increase in sputtering power to 2.5 kW, it sharply increased to −64.5 dB. This was ascribed to the smooth and dense surface of the first layer at 1.5 kW, as was observed in the atomic forces microscopy images. The spherical, isotropic, fine grains with a diameter of about 0.2–0.7 μm at 1.5 kW were found, while the longitudinal, directional granular features with a length of 2.5 μm were seen at 2.5 kW. The highest CNR of 46.3 dB was observed at 0.6 kW with a constant sputtering Ar gas flow rate of 25 sccm for the magneto-optical layer. The sputtering conditions for other layers are as follows: 1.5 kW with sputter Ar/N2 gas flow rate of 30 sccm/11 sccm for the first and third SiN layer, and 0.6 kW with 25 sccm of Ar for the Al reflection layer. This is due to the smooth surface morphologies of the magneto-optical layer at this optimum sputtering pressure, as previously reported in similar research. To obtain a high readout signal, the phase compensation for the elliptic laser beam has been considered. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background In most epidemiological survey studies, only subjective symptoms and past medical history of asthma have been used as diagnostic criteria. Even though a questionnaire survey can be performed in a large population study at low cost, limitations such as lack of objectivity and poor predictability in non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness cannot be avoided.Objectives The purpose of this study was to elucidate the prevalence of current asthma based on questionnaires and methacholine bronchial provocation test, and the prevalence of atopy in Korea.Methods We performed modified ATS respiratory questionnaires and allergen skin-prick test with 10 common inhalant allergens among 3219 subjects aged 7–19 years in Seoul and a rural part of a small city, Chungju in Korea. Methacholine bronchial provocation tests were also performed among those who had asthma symptoms according to the questionnaire. The criteria of asthma was presence of both asthma symptoms and non-specific bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Atopy was defined as when an allergen induced weal size is same or larger than that caused by histamine.Results The prevalence of asthma based on questionnaires and methacholine bronchial provocation tests was 4.6%, while the prevalence of wheeze was 8.2% and 19.3% of total population complained of one or more respiratory symptoms related to asthma on the questionnaires. There was no significant difference according to age, sex and living area. The mean prevalence of atopy was 35.0% and the most common allergens were Dermatophagoides farinae (30.9%), Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (27.5%), cat fur (20.4%) and cockroach (11.8%). The atopy prevalence in Chungju area was higher than that in Seoul and males showed a higher prevalence than females. The asthma prevalence was higher among atopies (6.8%) than among non-atopies (2.7%). None of questionnaire items were enough to predict the presence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in terms of sensitivity, specificity and positive predictive value.Conclusion The prevalence rate of current asthma in Korea was 4.6% and the prevalence rate of atopy in Korea was 35.0%. Questionnaire-based surveys are not enough to predict the actual prevalence of asthma.

    Notes: Abstract Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) precursor particles were obtained by homogeneous precipitation in a nitrate salt solution by a reaction involving the thermal decomposition of urea. Chemical analysis indicated that solid phases were initially precipitated with sequential iron ion content. The precipitate formed was an amorphous mixed iron oxide phase. The complex composition and the thermal decomposition of the precipitate were studied by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy. Precipitate morphology was observed by SEM and TEM. Fine-grained single-phase yttrium iron garnet (YIG:Y3Fe5O12) powders were obtained by calcination of the precipitate at 1200 °C. YFeO3 intermediate compound was formed at 600 °C prior to the final crystallization of YIG.
