The production of interleukin-1(IL-1)and nitric oxide(NO) by cultured fibroblast cells of human nasal turbinate was revealed by biological assay respectively. The cells were incubated for various periods of time in the presence of staphyloccocal toxic shock syndrome toxin-1(TSST-1) and house dust mite(Dermatophagoides farinae, HDM), and the culture supernatants were harvested. There was a little difference in the activities of IL-1beta and the amount of NO produced by the cells when stimulated with 0.002-0.1$\mu$g/ml of TSSTO-1 and 0.02-1$\mu$g/ml of HDM. The shapes of the time course curves for the production of IL-1beta and NO by the cells were different. Groups stimulated with TSST-1 or HDM produced more IL-beta in 2 h than no exposure group(Control). A certain mixed group(TSST-1, 10ng+mite, 100 ng) continued to produce IL-1beta highly throughout the entire incubation period. The cells stimulated with TSST-1 or HDM produced more NO in 2 h and 6 h than that produced in the end of incubation(48 h). Also, the mixed groups were generally similar. There results suggest that induction of IL-1beta by a certain mixed condition(TSST-1+mite) in fibroblast cell in vivo may play a role in inflammation.

Iron excess is known to affect long-term iron accumulation and tissue change such as fibrosis in liver. To determine the changes of expression level of genes associated with fibrosis by short-term iron exposure, we measured liver mRNA levels by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in rats fed dietary carbonyl iron (3%, wt/wt) for 9 weeks. The results showed that the expression of the collagen (I, III) and transforming growth factor (TGF)-$\beta$I mRNAs was enhanced in high-dose iron treated rat, compared to normal-dose iron treated rat. An electron microscopy study revealed that excess iron caused increase of collagen fibrils in liver. The cell shapes and compositions of hepatocytes and extracellular matrix(ECM) in liver were changed by the iron-treatment. Also, necrosised hepatocytes were broadly seen in ECM. Taken together, we suggest that iron overload affects changes of collagen and TGF-$\beta$I gene expression and these changes are associated with liver fibrogenesis.

2개의 종횡비에 의해 특징지어진 3차원 타원체를 사용하여 PP복합체의 충전제 형태와 함량이 열팽창률에 미 치는 영향에 대해 Lee와 Paul에 의해 제안된 이론적인 값과 실험적인 결과값이 비교분석되었다. 충전제의 형태는 구형에 황산바륨을, 섬유형에는 유리섬유를, 판상형에는 운모를 사용하였다. 실험의 결과로서 구형을 갖는 황산바륨 은 종횡비가 1의 값을 갖고 이론과 같이 열팽창률이 감소하였다. 유리섬유의 경우 함량증가에 따라 종횡비는 42, 37, 25, 20으로 감소하였으며 종단방향에선 열팽창률이 감소하였지만 수직방향에서는 증가하였다. 운모의 경우 그 함량증가에 따라 모두 종단방향과 횡단방향에서 감소하고 수직방향에서 증가하였다. 종횡비의 값은 각각, $\rho_\alpha$=13.5, $\rho_\beta$=1.8이었다.

In this study, on-site testing was carried out to investigate the vibration performance of a composite steel-bar truss slab with steel girder system. Ambient vibration was performed to capture the primary vibration parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes). The composite floor possesses low frequency (< 10 Hz) and damping (< 2%). Based on experimental, theoretical, and numerical analyses on natural frequencies and mode shapes, the boundary condition of SCSC (i.e., two opposite edges simply-supported and the other two edges clamped) is deemed more reasonable for the composite floor. Walking excitations by one person (single excitation), two persons (dual excitation), and three persons (triple excitation) were considered to evaluate the vibration serviceability of the composite floor. The measured acceleration results show a satisfactory vibration perceptibility. For design convenience and safety, a crest factor ${\beta}_{rp}$ describing the ratio of peak acceleration to root-mean-square acceleration induced from the walking excitations is proposed. The comparisons of the modal parameters determined by ambient vibration and walking tests reveal the interaction effect between the human excitation and the composite floor.

We discussed four different methods - the single, double and triple Gaussian fits, and the intensity weighted centroid fit - which extract rotation curves from several emis-sion lines(i.e. [OII], $H{\beta}$, [OIII], and $H{\alpha}$) of spiral galaxies. Spatial extents and the shapes of rotation curves derived through various methods applying to each emission lines of a sample galaxy UGC 11635 are all in a good agreement with one another. Linewidths of $H{\beta}$ and $H{\alpha}$ measure from rotation profiles are in a good agreement with $H{\alpha}$ linewidth of Courteau (1992). however, linewidths of [OII] seems to be much broader than $H{\alpha}$, and the profile of [OIII] does not follow the profile of $H{\alpha}$.

The effect of the $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase fraction on the mechanical properties in silicon nitrides was investigated in part 1. In part II, we describe the role of microstructure on the mechanical properties and contact damage of silicon nitrides with coarse/equiaxed and coarse/elongated microstructures. Grain sizes and shapes were controlled by starting powder. Hertzian indentation using spherical indenter was also used to investigate contact damage behavior. Cone cracks from the spherical indentation were suppressed when the silicon nitride contains coarse and elongated grains. Coarse and elongated grains played an important role of cone crack suppression. The size of quasi-plastic zone does not depend on grain size or shape but depends on the fraction of $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase. A quasi-plastic zone was consisting of microcracks by shear stress during indentation.

Silicon, carbon, and B4C powders were used as raw materials for the fabrication of porous SiC. ${\beta}$-SiC was synthesized at $1500^{\circ}C$ in an Ar atmosphere from a silicon and carbon mixture. The synthesized powders were pressed into disk shapes and then heated at $2100^{\circ}C$. ${\beta}$-SiC particles transformed to ${\alpha}$-SiC at over $1900^{\circ}C$, and rapid grain growth of ${\alpha}$-SiC subsequently occurred and a porous structure with elongated plate-type grains was formed. The mechanism of this rapid grain growth is thought to be an evaporation-condensation reaction. The mechanical properties of the fabricated porous SiC were investigated and discussed.

To develop operation scenarios of KT-2 tokamak, 3 operation modes(OH, high ${\beta}$ and high bootstrap) deduced from zero dimensional steady-state power balance are examined with TSC(Tokamak Simulation Code) time-dependent transport .ode. Plasma profiles are evaluated self consistently during simulations and plasma shapes are maintained by feedback control on PF coil currents. Simulations show operation modes which are typical of KT-2 expected discharges are compatible with the KT-2 PF system design specifications[1].

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), PLLA/hydroxyapatite (HA), PLLA/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs)/HA, PLLA/trifluoroethanol (TFE), PLLA/gelatin, and carbon nanofibers (CNFs)/${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate (${\beta}$-TCP) composite membranes (scaffolds) were fabricated by electrospinning and their morphologies, and mechanical properties were characterized for use in bone tissue regeneration/guided tissue regeneration. MWNTs and HA nanoparticles were well distributed in the membranes and the degradation characteristics were improved. PLLA/MWNTs/HA membranes enhanced the adhesion and proliferation of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) by 30% and inhibited the adhesion of gingival epithelial cells by 30%. Osteoblast-like MG-63 cells on the randomly fiber oriented PLLA/TEF membrane showed irregular forms, while the cells exhibited shuttle-like shapes on the parallel fiber oriented membrane. Classical supersaturated simulated body fluids were modified by $CO_2$ bubbling and applied to promote the biomineralization of the PLLA/gelatin membrane; this resulted in predictions of bone bonding bioactivity of the substrates. The ${\beta}$-TCP membranes exhibit good biocompatibility, have an effect on PDLC growth comparable to that of pure CNF membrane, and can be applied as scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 표본점(標本點)의 크기와 형태에 따른 작업(作業) 시간을 비교분석하고 효율성(效率性)을 검정(檢定)하여 적정 표본점 크기와 형태를 선택(選擇)하기 위한 것으로, 지형이 평탄(平坦)하고 임목생립(林木生立)이 고르게 분포된 2개 임분(林分)을 택하여 각각 198 plot, 306 plot를 조사하였다. 표본점 설치방법의 시간상 유리함을 알아보기 위하여 방형(方形)에서는 Blumeleiss-$Me{\beta}$ trommel을 이용하는 방법과 줄자를 이용하는 방법을 비교하였다. 1. 방형(方形)에서는 직접 4면 설치법이 대각선으로 설치하는 방법보다 시간적으로 유리하였다. 2. 원형(圓形)에 있어서는 Blumeleiss-$Me{\beta}$ trommel을 이용한 방법이 줄자를 이용하나 방법보다 유리(有利)하였다. 3. 원형(圓形) 표본점(標本點)이 방형(方形) 표본점(標本點)에 비해 시간적으로 유리하였다. 특히 작은 표본점에서는 원형이 방형에 비해 2배 정도 유리하였지만, 점차 면적이 커지면서 원형 표본점의 시간적(時間的) 유리성(有利性)이 줄어들었다.
