The out-of-phase thermo-mechanical fatigue (OP TMF) in a <001> oriented single crystal nickel-based superalloy CMSX-4 has been studied. OP TMF life was less than a half of low cycle fatigue(LCF) life in spite of a small hysteresis loop area of OP TMF compared to that of LCF. The failure was caused by the initiation of a crack at the oxide-layered surface followed by its planar growth along the <100> ${\gamma}$ channel in both LCF and OP TMF. However, deformation twins appeared near the major crack of OP TMF. The multiple groups of parallel twin plates on {111} planes provided a preferential path for crack propagation, which caused a significant decrease in OP TMF life. Additionally, the analysis on the surface crack morphology revealed that the tensile strain at the minimum temperature of OP TMF was found to accelerate the crack propagation.

미강유(RBO), 팜스테아린(PS), 고올레인산 해바라기씨유(HO)를 기질로 사용하여 24 hr, $65^{\circ}C$의 조건하에 회분식 반응기(batch type reactor)에서 TLIM을 이용한 interesterification을 통해 생성된 저트랜스 쇼트닝의 이화학적 특성을 살펴보았다. DSC 분석결과를 살펴보면, SFC 함량 변화는 commercial shortening과 low-trans shortening(LTS) 간에 거의 유사하게 측정되었고, slip melting point는 각각 35.5, $34.8^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. 지방산 조성 분석 결과, LTS는 전체 지방산 조성의 90% 이상이 C16:0(33.7 wt%), C18:1(45.7 wt%), C18:2(13.4 wt%)로 구성되어 있으며 이 중 트랜스지방산은 시중 유통 쇼트닝보다 3배 이상 적은 0.5 wt%로 미량 검출되었다. Sn-2 position에 위치한 지방산 조성은 C16:0이 36.6 wt%, C18:1이 43.5 wt%로 나타났다. LTS의 주요 TAG 조성으로는 POO, POP, PLO 등으로 나타났고, 반응 전과 반응 후의 TAG 조성을 비교해 보면, OOO와 PPP의 area%는 각각 27.65에서 6.97 area%로, 11.97에서 3.36 area%로 감소한 반면 POO는 15.94에서 29.05 area%로, PLO는 6.44에서 13.05 area%로 증가되었다. ${\alpha},\;{\gamma}\;{\delta}$-Tocopherol 분석 결과 LTS의 total tocopherol은 12.37 mg/100 g, ${\gamma}$-oryzanol 함량은 0.43 mg/100 g을 나타냈으며, total phytosterol 함량은 251.38 mg/100 g으로 나타났다. Commercial shortening과 LTS의 texture analyzer를 통한 hardness 측정 결과, commercial shortening은 157.41 g, LTS는 157.00 g으로 두 시료의 hardness가 비슷하게 측정되었다. LTS의 polymorphic form을 측정하기 위해 x-ray duffraction을 사용하였다. 일반적으로 쇼트닝이나 마가린은 ${\beta}'$형 결정일 때 바람직하다고 여겨지는데, LTS의 분석 결과 ${\beta}$형이 함께 공존하고 있지만, ${\beta}'$형이 우세하게 나타났다.

엽산과 유사한 구조를 가져 관절염 치료제로 쓰이는 methotrexate (MTX)의 당뇨병 쥐에서의 신독성 기전을 구명할 목적으로 실험동물 정상군과 STZ로 당뇨를 유발한군에 MTX률 투여하여 신장 독성을 유발하여 혈중 생화학적 변화를 관찰하고 free radical의 생성계와 해독계의 활성에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 혈중 신장기능 지표 효소 및 신장조직의 지질과산화 함량이 정상군에 MTX를 투여한 군에 비해 당뇨쥐에 MTX를 투여한 군에서 현저히 증가하였다. 당뇨쥐에 MTX를 투여함으로써 활성산소 생성계인 phase I 단계 중 cytosol 효소계 활성이 정상쥐에 MTX를 투여한 군에 비하여 현저히 증가하였고, phase II 단계 중 glutathione S-transferase의 활성이 정상쥐에 MTX를 투여하였을때에 비하여 당뇨쥐에 MTX를 투여하였을때 현저히 감소하였다. 신조직 중 glutathione의 함량 또한 당뇨쥐에 MTX를 투여했을때 현저히 감소하였고 이러한 결과는 $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase와 glutathione reductase의 활성을 감소시킨 결과로 생각된다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼때 당뇨쥐에 MTX를 투여하면 신독성이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었고, 그 기전은 cytosol계 효소 활성을 증가시켜 MTX의 대사계를 촉진시킴으로 독성물질의 생성을 증가시키고, 이로 인한 신조직중의 지질과산화 함량의 증가는 glutathione의 함량 감소에 의해 나타나는 결과로 사료되어진다.

The effects of pre-heat treatment(Q/T) on microstructure and hardness of STD11 and STD61 tool steel nitrided by micro-pulse plasma were investigated. The quenching temperature for obtaining matrix hardness of STD11 and STD61 steel on range of HRC 50 to HRC 60 desired for machine parts is about $1070^{\circ}C$ and $1020^{\circ}C$ respectively. The hardness of STD11 and STD61 quenched at the temperature was HRC 63 and HRC 56 respectively. The nitrided case depth of STD11 and STD61 nitrided at $550^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours was independent of pre-heat treatment condition and the depth was approximately $100{\mu}m$. However, hardness and compactness of nitrided layer on Q/T treated specimen were higher than the annealed specimen. The case depth increased linearly with the increase of nitriding temperature, however, the hardness of nitrided layer decreased with the increase of temperature. Phase mixture of ${\gamma}-Fe_4N$ and ${\varepsilon}-Fe_{2-3}N$ was detected by XRD analysis in the nitrided layer formed at the optimum nitriding condition. The optimum nitriding temperature was approximately $490^{\circ}C$ which was $10^{\circ}C$ lower than the tempering temperature for preventing softening behavior of STD11 and STD61 matrix during nitriding process and the surface hardness of nitrided layer obtained by optimum pre-heat treatment condition was about Hv1400.

Elephant garlic (Allium ampeloprasum var. ampeloprasum), which belongs to the Alliaceae family along with onion and garlic, has a flavor and shape similar to those of normal garlic but is not true garlic. Additionally, its properties are largely unknown, and its processing and product development have not been reported. In this study, we focused on using elephant garlic to produce a new type of vinegar, for which the market is rapidly growing because of its health benefits. First, we evaluated the effects of elephant garlic addition on acetic acid fermentation of rice wine by Acetobacter pasteurianus. In contrast to normal garlic, for which 2% (w/v) addition completely halted fermentation, addition of elephant garlic enabled slow but successful fermentation of ethanol to acetic acid. Metabolite analysis suggested that sulfur-containing volatile compounds were less abundant in elephant garlic than in normal garlic; these volatile compounds may be responsible for inhibiting acetic acid fermentation. After acetic acid fermentation, vinegar with elephant garlic did not have any sulfur-containing volatile compounds, which could positively contribute to the vinegar flavor. Moreover, the amino acid profile of the vinegar suggested that nutritional and sensory properties were more enhanced following addition of elephant garlic. Thus, elephant garlic may have applications in the development of a new vinegar product with improved flavor and quality and potential health benefits.

The SMT is a subsystem of the UFFO (Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory) pathfinder onboard the Lomonosov spacecraft planed to be launched in November 2011. The UFFO is designed for extremely fast observation of optical afterglow of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). This study is primarily concerned with performance measurement of the SMT optical system under the integration and test phase. SMT is a 100mm Ritchey-Chretien type telescope with a motorized slewing mirror and a $256{\times}256$ pixels Intensified Charge-Coupled Device (ICCD) of 22.2${\mu}m$ in pixel size. SMT is designed to operate over the wavelength coverage between 200 nm and 650 nm. It has 17 arcmin FOV (Field of View), providing 4arcsec in detector pixel resolution. In this study, we describe the integration and test process of the SMT optical system and interim performance measurement results with motorized slewing mirror and ICCD.

In this paper the effect of aging heat treatment to the Corrosion behavior for the Nimonic 80A superalloy was studied by AC Impedance methods. Tested solution was 3.5% with tempera-ture $25^{\circ}C$ Electro-chemical corrosion test were carried out for the Nimonic 80A super-alloy which solution heat treated at $1080^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours followed by aging heat treated at $650^{\circ}C,\;700^{\circ}C,\;750^{\circ}C\;800^{\circ}C$ and $850^{\circ}C$ with 16hours under vacuum environment. The obtained results were as follows; 1. Base metal and solution-treated materials were exhibited similar corrosion tendency as Ran-dle equivalent cell. The value of passive film resistance was 579 ohms for the base metal and 124,770 ohms for the solutionized metal such a difference was arose by the ${{\gamma}_^'}$ precipitate on the metal surface during heat treatment. 2. The measure value of $R_p$ for heat-treated at $650^{\circ}C,\;700^{\circ}C,\;800^{\circ}C$and $850^{\circ}C$ were 97,943, 93, 111, 26,961, 15,798 and 11,780ohm respectively. Which indicated that the passive film resistance Rp was reduced as aging temperature increased due to the growth of grain size and sensitization at the grain boundary. 3. The similar tendency was exhibited for corrosion behavior of the electro-chemical corrosion polarization method and AC impedance method and confirmed that AC impedance method was useful tool for corrosion research.

Primary pro-inflammatory cytokines are a trio: tumor necrosis- $\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$), interleukine-$\beta$ (IL-$\beta$), and interleukine-6 (IL-6). These cytokines initiate and regulate the acute-phase inflammatory response during infection, trauma, or stress and appear to play an important role in the immune process. Nitric oxide (NO) is a multi-functional mediator, which plays an important role in regulating various biological functions in vivo. NO production by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in macrophages is essential for the defense mechanisms against microorganisms and tumor cells. However, over-expression of iNOS by various stimuli, resulting in over-production of NO, contributes to the pathogenesis of septic shock and some inflammatory and auto-immune disease. Solvent fractions of sage ( Salvia officinalis L.), which is cultivated in Jeju-Do, was assayed for their effects on TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages. Hexane and ethylacetate (EtOAc) fraction of sage inhibited the protein and mRNA expression of TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 in LPS stimulated RAW 264.7 cells at the concentration of 100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. Also, incubation of RAW 264.7 cells with the fraction of hexane or EtOAc (50 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$) inhibited the LPS induced nitrite accumulation and the LPS/IFN-${\gamma}$ induced iNOS protein. And this inhibition of iNOS protein is concordant with the inhibition of iNOS mRNA expression. Above results suggest that extract of sage may have anti-inflammatory activity through the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-$\alpha$, IL-1$\beta$, IL-6), iNOS and NO.
