In this study, three kinds of bainitic steel plates are manufactured by varying the chemical compositions and their microstructures are analyzed. Tensile and Charpy impact tests are performed at room and low temperature to investigate the correlation between microstructure and mechanical properties. In addition, heat affected zone (HAZ) specimens are fabricated by a simulation of welding processes, and the HAZ microstructure is analyzed. The base steel that has the lowest carbon equivalent has the highest volume fraction of acicular ferrite and the lowest volume fraction of secondary phases, so the strength is the lowest and the elongation is the highest. The Mo steel has a higher volume fraction of granular bainite and more secondary phases than the base steel, so the strength is high and the elongation is low. The CrNi steel has the highest volume fraction of the secondary phases, so the strength is the highest and elongation is the lowest. The tensile properties of the steels, namely, strength and elongation, have a linear correlation with the volume fraction of secondary phases. The Mo steel has the lowest Charpy impact energy at $-80^{\circ}C$ because of coarse granular bainite. In the Base-HAZ and Mo-HAZ specimens, the hardness increases as the volume fraction of martensite-austenite constituents increases. In the CrNi-HAZ specimen, however, hardness increases as the volume fraction of martensite and bainitic ferrite increases.

BACKGROUND: Prohexadione-calcium (PC) is a plant growth regulator of cyclohexanedione family acting on inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis and has been used to regulate shoot elongation of turfgrass in the golf course during the summer season. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of PC on the inhibition of shoot elongation, growth, and nitrogen uptake in Zoysia matrella. METHODS AND RESULTS: Treatments were as follows; non-treatment, control (TE 0.01 a.i. g/m²/100 mL), 0.0025PC (PC 0.0025 a.i. g/m²/100 mL), 0.005PC (PC 0.005 a.i. g/m²/100 mL), 0.01PC (PC 0.01 a.i. g/m²/100 mL) and 0.02PC (PC 0.02 a.i. g/m²/100 mL). Visual quality and chlorophyll content were not significantly different. As compared to non-treatment, shoot length and clipping yield in 0.005PC, 0.01PC and 0.02PC treatments were decreased by 29-36% and 65-82%, respectively, and those of 0.0025PC were not significantly different. N uptake of Z. matrella after applying PC was decreased by 28.9-77.8% than that of non-treatment. Inhibition effects of PC treatment in Z. matrella were not significantly different from those of control. CONCLUSION(S): These results indicated that the application of prohexadione calcium inhibited shoot elongation, clipping yield and N uptake amount in Z. matrella, and trinexapac-ethyl could be replaced with prohexadione-calcium in turfgrass management.

In the present study, blow forming characteristics of commercially roiled AZ31 alloy sheets were investigated. Two different kinds of AZ31 sheets were originally fabricated by using direct casting and strip casting methods respectively. Both sheets have similar grain sizes of about $7{\mu}m$ with a relatively equiaxed structure after rolling. A series of tensile tests were carried out to get flow behavior in terms of temperature and strain rate. Also, grain size effect was investigated by annealing as-received sheet at elevated temperatures. Elongation increased with temperature increment as well expected. However, the differences in tensile test condition did not give much difference in elongation even at the temperature range where a large elongation would be expected with such as fine grain of $7{\mu}m$. Blow forming experiments showed that forming condition did not result in higher difference in dome height. However, the interesting feature from this study was that formability of this AZ31 alloy got different with stress condition. Firstly, biaxial stress condition might result in lower temperature and strain rate dependencies compared to uniaxial tension results for both DC and SC sheets. Secondly, DC showed slower grain growth in uniaxial tension than in biaxial stress state while SC has much higher grain growth rage in uniaxial tension than in bulging.

Every year fish skin, bone and intestines are discarded as processing waste material. The use of fish processing waste material is more economical and environmental-friendly. The leather-like material was produced using shark intestine. Physical charactistics such as tensile strength, elongation, tongue tearing strength, and bursting strength of the leather-like material were measured, and compared with those of a commercial leather product. The values of tensile strength, elongation, tongue tearing strength, and bursting strength of the leather-like material were $3.3kg/mm^2$, $53\%$, 13.0kg/mm and $18kg/cm^2$, respectively. Elongation $(l09\%)$ of the leather-like material coated with lacquer was higher than that of a commercial leather material, and the other factors were similar. The tensile strength and tongue tearing strength of the leather-like material was higher than those of shoes leather, but bursting strength was lower. These results suggested a potential value to use the leather-like material from shark intestines as a substitute for commercial leathers.

This research was performed to determine the temperature requirements for embryo growth and radicle emergence of Hepatica asiatica Nakai, a perennial herb native to Korea. Seed viability, embryo growth, and radicle emergence were monitored in seeds exposed to various temperatures (10, 15, $20^{\circ}C$ and $30{\rightarrow}15^{\circ}C$). Laboratory experiments at various temperatures revealed that (1) embryo elongation occurred effectively between 10 and $15^{\circ}C$; (2) radicle emergence occurred only at $15^{\circ}C$; (3) a warm stratification (2-8 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$) was not required for embryo elongation and radicle emergence, and led to inhibition of radicle emergence; (4) application of gibberellic acid ($GA_3$) promoted embryo growth, but not radicle emergence. These results suggested that H. asiatica seeds have two separate mechanisms to overcome dormancy, either by $GA_3$ (morphological dormancy) or temperature (physiological dormancy), and warm stratification is not involved in breaking radicle dormancy. These findings indicate that H. asiatica seeds have morphophysiological dormancy.

The effects of silica-silane in CIIR vibration isolation compound were investigated regarding mechanical and dynamic properties. Addition of silica-silane in the compound resulted in higher tear resistance strength and elongation at break than the control, which was increased by 13% and 14%, respectively. Other values such as tensile strength and hardness did not show significant changes. Viscoelastic property results supported that the improvement of tear resistance strength and elongation at break resulted from the formation of 3-dimensional network structure between silica and CIIR. The mechanism of the tear resistance strength and elongation at break improvement was discussed.

Silk has been used extensively in textile applications because of its good luster and feel. However, the low elongation and elastic recovery of silk has limited its use in a wider variety of textile applications. In this study, silk textile samples were made with a highly twisted silk/polyurethane core-spun yarn. They were immersed in water and dried at different temperatures, and the effect of treatment temperature on the mechanical properties of the silk textile was examined. It was found that the water temperature strongly affected the morphology and mechanical properties of the silk textile, whereas the drying temperature did not. As the water temperature was increased, the weft silk yarn became tangled and the interval between warp yarns decreased, resulting in shrinkage of the silk textile. When the silk textile was immersed in water at high temperature (i.e., $100^{\circ}C$), the elongation of the textile increased eight-fold as compared to an untreated silk textile. The maximum elastic recovery ratio of the silk textile was 96.7%.

A comparative study of three absorbable suture materials of chromic catgut, Dexon II (a polyglycolic acid suture with a polycaprolate coating system) and Coated Vicryl (a polyglactin 910 suture with a glycolide-lactide-calcium stearate coating system) was undertaken in terms of tensile strength, breaking elongation, appearances of the suture materials in the subcutaneous layer of rats and of tissue reaction in the intramuscular layer of rats. The initial tensile strength of chromic catgut and the tensile strength after 21 days were about 1.55 kg and 0.19 kg, respectively. Those of Dexon II were about 2.01 kg and 0. 20 kg, respectively. Those of Coated Vicryl were about 2.39 kg and 0.48 kg, respectively. Coated Vicryl showed the highest tensile strength among the three materials during the whole period. On the other hand, Dexon II showed the highest breaking elongation among the three materials during the first week. But the breaking elongation of Dexon II rapidly continuously decreased during the whole period. The appearances of the suture materials in the subcutaneous layer of rats showed that chromic catgut was the fastest among the three materials, whereas it formed comparatively much connective tissue. The intramuscular absorption rate and tissue reaction of Dexon II were similar to those of Coated Vicryl. The intramuscular absorption rate of these was fairly late when compared with chromic catgut. And the tissue reaction appearance of these showed the formation of a granuloma with foreign body giant cells, macrothages and epitheloid cells by the 28th day in the experimental period.

Background: For normalization of displaced anatomical structure by large cyst, two-step procedure (decompression and enucleation afterward) has been recommended. However, the histological transformation after cystotomy for decompression was shown frequently in secondary enucleation. Therefore, analyses about effects and histological changes after decompression have been necessary. Methods: 48 cases diagnosed as large odontogenic cyst in the jaw and treated by decompression and secondary enucleation were retrospectively analyzed in clinical, rediographical, and histological aspects. Results: In dentigerous cyst, decompression was much useful. Impacted permanent teeth were erupted and reduction rate was higher than that of odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) and apical periodontal cyst. In OKC, among the 29 cases, 11 cases showed no-keratosis, proliferation and rete-ridge elongation after decompression. 4 cases showed no-keratosis, only. 7 cases showed orthokeratosis and rete-ridge elongation and 6 cases showed reteridge elongation, only. 1 case had no change. And the recurrence rate for OKCs was 10.3%. For all odontogenic cysts in this study, dysplasia was not found in cystic lining after decompression. Conclusions: This study implied that decompression for large odontogenic cyst was useful treatment modality because it was conservative treatment and recurrence rate was low although long treatment period was required.

The effects of thermomechanical and duplex aging treatment on precipitation behavior were investigated for the 8090 aluminium alloy by tensile test, hardness test, plane-strain fracture toughness test and electron microscope. Both pre-aging stretch and duplex aging with pre-aging stretch were effective to homogenize the distribution of S' phase in this alloys. The latter makes more homogeneous distribution of S' phase than that of the former, but the sizes of S' phase in both specimens are almost same. The size and distribution of 0' phase were not changed by thermomechanical or duplex aging treatment. The strength was increased by thermomechanical treatment, but the elongation was decreased. Duplex aging treatment couldn't change the strength and elongation. Pre-aging stretch and duplex aging with pre-aging stretch have same effect on the strength and elongation. The increase of strength by thermomechanical treatment in 8090 alumunium alloy was caused by homogeneously precipitated S' phase.
