Experimental study was conducted for lapping process after WEDMed specimen. In order to decide the lapping depth of the specimen, the number of the grain size was increased from 400, 600 to 800 to obtain the better surface. Observation of scanning electron microscope, hardness test, surface roughness test and energy dispersive spectrum(EDS) analysis were used for this experimental study. From the comparison and analyses of the results of between the wire-cut electrical discharge machining and the lapping, the following results were obtained. The surface roughness after lapping was found to be improved as increasing the number of lapping process like 1st, 2nd, 3rd lapping and the number of grain size such as 400, 600, 800. The surface hardness after increasing the lapping depth of the specimen was slowly increased. It was found that after 3rd lapping process the hardness was reached the hardness of original base material. It was found that the small amount of coating components within 3% was remained after the 1st lapping process, compared to that approximately 16% after WEDM process.

Mechanically alloyed $TbCu_7 -type \;Sm_{12.5}Fe_{87.5-x}Ti_x$(x=0, 2.5, 5, 7.5),and their nitrides have been studied systematically by X-ray diffraction, A.C. initial susceptibility, and pulsed magnetization measurement. In this series, the volume expansion by nitriding is 5.6%~7.3%, and the increment of the Curie temperature is in the range of 21$0^{\circ}C$~35$0^{\circ}C$. With increasing Ti content, the remanence decreases linearly due to the substitution of non-magnetic Ti, and the coercivity decreases rapidly from 34.6 kA/cm (43.5 kOe) for $\chi$=0 to 14.3 kA/cm (18 kOe) for $\chi$=7.5. In the $Sm_{12.5}Fe_{87.5-x}Ti_xN_y$ series, the best magnetic properties were obtained from .7Ti7Ny series, the best magnetic properties were obtained from $Sm_{12.5}Fe_{87.5}N_y$($\chi$=0) with $_iH_c$=34.6 kA/cm (43.5 kOe), $B_r=0.75 \;T, \;and (BH)_{max}=113.8 kJ/m^3$(10.9 MGOe).

This study investigated the ultimate lateral load capacity of shear walls constructed with several types of structural foam sheathing. Sixteen tests were conducted and the results were compared to the published design values commutated by the manufactures for each test series. The sheathing products included 12.7 mm (1/2 in) SI-Strong, 25.4 mm (1 in) SI-Strong, 12.7 mm (1/2 in) R-Max Thermasheath, and 2 mm (0.078 in) ThermoPly Green. The structural foam sheathing was attached per the manufacturers' specification to one side of the wood frame for each wall tested. Standard 12.7 mm (1/2 in) gypsum wallboard was screwed to the opposite side of the frame. Simpson HDQ8 tie-down anchors were screwed to the terminal studs at each end of the wall and anchored to the base of the testing apparatus. Both monotonic and cyclic testing following ASTM E564 and ASTM E2126, respectively, were considered. Results from the monotonic tests showed an 11 to 27 percent smaller capacity when compared to the published design values. Likewise, the test results from the cyclic tests showed a 24 to 45 percent smaller capacity than the published design values and did not meet the seismic performance design criteria computation.

We investigated the additional (secondary) cooling effect of casted strips on the magnetic properties of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets. The Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets were fabricated with the casted strips prepared without and with additional cooling. Additional cooling was achieved by blowing Ar gas at various pressures (0.1, 0.3, and 0.6 MPa) on the free-side surface of the strips during the strip-casting process. The higher magnetic properties of $H_c$, $B_r$, and $(BH)_{max}$ of the final Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets were obtained for 0.1 MPa rather than for 0.0 MPa. The best microstructure of the columnar grains in the casted strips was produced with the aid of a lower pressure of gas on the free-side surface. It was found that the microstructure of the strips affects the distribution of grains grown in the sintered magnets. This report demonstrates that the improved magnetic performance of Nd-Fe-B sintered magnets was achieved via additional gas cooling.

Evapotranpiration (ET) is one of the important factor in Hydrological cycle and irrigation planning. In this study, temperature-based artificial neural network (ANN) model for daily reference crop ET estimation was developed and compared with reference crop evapotranpiration ($ET_0$) from FAO-56 Penman-Monteith method (FAO-56 PM) and parameter regionalized Hargreaves method. The ANN model was trained and tested for 10 weather stations (5 inland stations and 5 costal stations) and two input climate factors, maximum temperature ($T_{max}$), minimum temperature ($T_{min}$), and extraterrestrial radiation (RA) were used for training and validation of temperature-based ANN model. Monthly reference ET by the ANN model also compared with parameter regionalized Hargreaves method for ANN model applicability evaluation. The ANN model evapotranspiration demonstrated more accordance to FAO-56 PM evapotranspiration than the $ET_0$ from parameter regionalized Hargreaves method(R-Hargreaves). The results of this study proposed that daily reference crop ET estimated by the ANN model could be used in the condition of no sufficient climate data.

A γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing microorganism was isolated from galchi (hairtail fish, Trichiurus lepturus) jeotgal, a Korean salted and fermented seafood. The G144 isolate produced GABA excessively when incubated in MRS broth containing monosodium glutamate (MSG, 3%, w/v). G144 was identified as Lactobacillus brevis through 16S rRNA and recA gene sequencing. gadB and gadC encoding glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and glutamate/GABA antiporter, respectively, were cloned and gadB was located downstream of gadC. The operon structure of gadCB was confirmed by reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction. gadB was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and recombinant GAD was purified and its size was 54.4 kDa as evidenced by SDS-PAGE results. Maximum GAD activity was observed at pH 5.0 and 40℃ and the activity was dependent on pyridoxal 5'-phophate. The K_m and V_max of GAD were 8.6 mM and 0.01 mM/min, respectively.

The paper presents the surface-modified NACA 2412 airfoil performance with variable cavity characteristics such as size, shape and orientation, by numerically investigated with the pre-validation study. The study attempts to improve the airfoil aerodynamic performance at 30 m/s with a variable angle of attack (AOA) ranging from 0° to 20° under Reynolds number (R_e) 4.4×10⁵. Through passive surface control techniques, a boundary layer control strategy has been enhanced to improve flow performance. An intense background survey has been carried out over the modifier orientation, shape, and numbers to differentiate the sub-critical and post-critical flow regimes. The wall-bounded flows along with its governing equations are investigated using Reynolds Average Navier Strokes (RANS) solver coupled with one-equational transport Spalart Allmaras model. It was observed that the aerodynamic efficiency of cavity airfoil had been improved by enhancing maximum lift to drag ratio ((l/d) max) with delayed flow separation by keeping the flow attached beyond 0.25C even at a higher angle of attack. Detailed investigation on the cavity distribution pattern reveals that cavity depth and width are essential in degrading the early flow separation characteristics. In this study, overall general performance comparison, all the cavity airfoil models have delayed stalling compared to the original airfoil.

Quantifying the changes of soil microbial biomass and activity of enzymes are important to understand the dynamics of active soil C and N pools. The dynamics of soil microbial biomass C and N and the activity of enzymes over entire growth period of soybean-(Glycine max (L) Merr.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) sequence on a Typic Haplustert as influenced by organic manure and inorganic fertilizer N were investigated in a field experiment. The application of farmyard manure at 4 to 16 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}\;y^{-1}r^{-1}$ along with fertilizer nitrogen at 50 or 180 $kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ increased the mean soil microbial biomass from 1.12 to 2.05 fold over unmanured soils under soybean-wheat system. Irrespective of organic and chemical fertilizer N application, the soil microbial biomass was maximum during the first two months at active growing stage of the crops and subsequently declined with crop maturity. The mean annual microbial activity was significantly increased when manure and chemical fertilizer at 8 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$ and 50/180 N $kg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$, respectively were applied. The C turnover rate decreased by 47 to 72 % when the level of farmyard manure was increased from 4 to 8 and 16 $Mg{\cdot}ha^{-1}$. There were significant correlations between biomass C, available N, dehydrogenase, phosphatase and yield of the crops.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and attitude about organ donation and organ transplantation among the organ donation candidates. Methods: The subjects were 91 candidates who are enrolled in organ transplantation center in general hospitals for organ donation or transplantation. The knowledge and attitude instruments about organ donation and transplantation by Matten, et al. (1991) were utilized. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 14.0: descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The mean score of knowledge was relatively low ($9.61{\pm}3.47$, out of 21.0). The mean score of attitude was relatively high ($4.24{\pm}0.97$, of max score 5). There was significant difference (p<.05) in knowledge according to academic career, registered period as a candidate, the intention to participate in an organ donation education. There was significant difference (p<.05) in attitude according to occupation, family's consent, and recommendation to family. The relationship between knowledge and attitude was not stylistically significant (r=.043, p=.683). Conclusion: These findings suggest that nurses should develop educational programs to increase knowledge and positive attitude toward the organ donation and transplantation.
