In general, a single gas flow through a converging nozzle is choked when the pressure communications between the downstream and upstream flowfields are broken by the sonic condition of Mach number, M=1. A similar phenomenon may occur In two streams of different stagnation properties flowing side by side in a converging nozzle. In this case, the limiting condition of M=1 for flow choking is no longer applied to such a compound compressible flow. The compound choking phenomenon can be explained by means of a compound sound wave at the nozzle exit. In order to detail the flow characteristics involved in such a compound choking of the two streams, the two-dimensional, compressible, Wavier-Stokes equations have been solved using a fully implicit finite volume method and compared with the results of the one-dimensional theoretical analysis. The computational and theoretical results show that the compound sound wave can reasonably explain the compound choking phenomenon of the two streams in the convergent flow channel.

The inhibitory compound (Compound S) against Ralstonia solanacearum and its conversion product (Compound S') were isolated from the culture filtrate of Bacillus subtilis JW-1 using a series of chromatography procedures. The structures were elucidated as alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-epoxycyclohexyl-4-one)alanine and alanyl-L-${\beta}$-(2,3-dihydroxycyclohexyl-4-one)alanine, respectively on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data, including $^1H$, $^{13}C$, $^1H-^1H$ correlation spectroscopy and heteronuclear multiple bond correlation spectroscopy. The compound S exhibited a broad antimicrobial activity against $G^+$, $G^-$ bacteria, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans. The activity loss of the conversion product revealed that the epoxy function was essential for activity of Compound S.

Compound hazards (CHs) are two or more extreme climate events combined which occur simultaneously in the same region at the same time. Compared to individual hazards, the combination of hazards that cause CHs can result in greater economic losses and deaths. While several extreme climate events have been recorded across Asia for the past decades, many studies have only focused on a single hazard. In this study, we assess the spatiotemporal pattern of dry compound hazards which includes drought, heatwave, fire and wind across Asia for the last 42 years (1980-2021) using the historical data from ERA5 Reanalysis dataset. We utilize a daily spatial data of each climate event to assess the occurrence of such compound hazards on a daily basis. Heatwave, fire and wind hazard occurrences are analyzed using daily percentile-based thresholds while a pre-defined threshold for SPI is applied for drought occurrence. Then, the occurrence of each type of compound hazard is taken from overlapping the map of daily occurrences of a single hazard. Lastly, a multivariate assessment are conducted to quantify the occurrence frequency, hotspots and trends of each type of compound hazard across Asia. By conducting a multivariate analysis of the occurrence of these compound hazards, we identify the relationships and interactions in dry compound hazards including droughts, heatwaves, fires, and winds, ultimately leading to better-informed decisions and strategies in the natural risk management.

Ginsenosides, the major active ingredients of ginseng, show a variety of biomedical efficacies such as anti-aging, anti oxidation and anti-inflammatory activities. To understand the effects of compound K (20-O-D-glucopyranosyl-20 (S)-protopanaxadiol), one of the major metabolite of ginsenosides on the skin, we assessed the expression level of ∼ 100 transcripts in compound K-treated HaCaT cells using cDNA microarray analysis. Compound K treatment induced differential expression of 21 genes, which have been reported to be involved in the organization of ECM structure as well as defense responses in human skin cells. One of the most interesting findings is 2-fold increase in hyaluronan synthase2 (HAS2) gene expression by compound K. We found that change in expression of HAS2 gene represents a specific response of HaCaT cells to compound K because hyaluronan synthase 1, 3 was not changed by treatment with compound K. We also demonstrated that the compound K effectively induced hyaluronan synthesis in human skin cells and hairless mouse skin. The human clinical study indicates that topical application of compound K-containing oil-in-water emulsion showed improvement of xerosis, wrinkle and fine lines in the aged skin. We concluded that compound K has anti-aging effects by the induction of HAS2 gene expression and following hyaluronan synthase.

This paper was focused on the wear characteristics of ion-nitrided metal and with ion-nitride processing, which is basically concerned with the effects of carbon content in workpiece and added carbon content gas atmosphere on the best wear performance. Increased carbon content in workpiece increases compound layer thickness, but decreases diffusion layer thickness. On the other hand, a small optimal amount of carbon content in gas atmosphere increase compound layer thickness as well as diffusion layer thickness and hardness. Wear tests show that the compound layer of ion-nitrided metal reduces wear rate when the applied wear load is small. However, as the load becomes large, the existence of compound layer tends to increase wear rate. Compressive residual stress at the compound layer is the largest at the compound layer, and decreases as the depth from the surface increases. It is found in the analysis that under small applied load, the critical depth where voids and cracks may be created and propagated is located at the compound layer, so that the adhesive wear is created and the existence of compound layer reduces the amount of wear. When the load becomes large, the critical depth is located below the compound layer and delamination, which may explained by surface deformation, crack nucleation and propagation, is created and the existence of compound layer increases wear rate. For the compound layer, at added carbon contents of 0 percent and 0.5 at. percent, the $\varepsilon$ monophase is predominant. But at 0.7 at. percent added carbon, the $\varepsilon$ monophase formation tends to be severely inhibited and r' and $Fe_3C$ polyphase formation becomes dominant. This increased hard $\varepsilon$ phase layer was observed to be more beneficial in reducing friction and wear.

The objective of this study was to prepare bioactive ginseng yogurts containing compound K, which is transformed from ginsenosides, and to investigate the compound's cytotoxicity against tumor cells. Milk containing ginseng was fermented by Bifidobacteria KK-I and KK-2, and their activities for transforming ginsenosides to compound K were measured. Among the tested concentrations of ginseng in the milk, compound K was effectively produced in the 3% and 6% ginseng yogurts fermented for 48 hrs. These fermented ginseng yogurts were extracted with BuOH, and their cytotoxicities against tumor cells were examined. The BuOH extract of the yogurt made from the 3% ginseng milk showed cytotoxic activity against P388 and HeLa tumor cells. However, the nonfermented ginseng milk did not exhibit cytotoxicity against these cells. Therefore, we deem that the ginseng yogurt, which contained compound K, could be developed as a potential fermented drink product.

Compound surface modeling is widely used for die cavities and punches. A compound surface is defined in 3-D space by specifying the topological relationship of several anlytic surface elements and a sculptured surface. A constructive solid gemonetry scheme is employed to model the analytic compound surface. the desired compound surface can be accomplished by specifying topological reationship in terms of boolean relations between pimitives and the sculptured surfaces. Additionally, a method is presented for checking and avoiding the tool interference occuued in machining the compound surface. Using this method. the interference of concave, convex, and side region can be checked easily and avoided rpapidly.

When saponin extracts of dried ginseng and red ginseng were anaerobically incubated with human intestinal microflora, these extracts were metabolized to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively. However, when these extracts were incubated with commercial lactic acid bacteria, these did not metabolize these ginsenosides to compound K or ginsenoside $Rh_2$. Among some intestinal bacteria isolated from human feces, Bacteroides C-35 and C-36 transformed these saponin extracts to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively. These bacteria also transformed water extracts of dried ginseng and red ginseng to compound K and ginsenoside $Rh_2$, respectively, similarly with that of the saponin extracts. Among transformed ginsenosides, compound K and 20(S)-ginsenoside $Rh_2$ exhibited the most potent cyotoxicity against tumor cells.

The enzyme-like catalytic functions of metal complex phthalocyanine derivatives those containing carboxylic acid groups could be applied as odor-removing systems and antibacterial systems. Pyromellitic dianhydride and 4-nitrophthalimide were used as starting material for synthesizing dinitro-tetracarboxylic acid iron phthalocyanine(compound 1). Then diamino-tetracarboxylic phthalocyanine(compound 2) was obtained by reduction of compound 1. For the formation of covalent bond with cellulose fiber, cyanuric chloride was introduced to the amino group of compound 2 by condensation reaction compound 3. The exhaustion method was employed for adsorbing compound 3 on cotton fiber. K/S values of each fabrics were measured by a CCM system and deodorizing rates were tested by a detector tube method for ammonia gas. K/S values of treated cotton fiber with compound 3 were arranged from 2.1 to 4.2 at $90^{\circ}C$ of exhaustion temperature. Deodorizing rates provided result of 81%, 84%, 88%, 91%, by passing time of 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, 120 min, respectively.

본 연구에서는 이방성 Nd-Fe-B계 자성분말과 바인더로 polypropylene을 사용하여 compound를 제조한 후 사출성형에 의해 이방성 Nd-Fe-B 레진본드자석을 제조하여 자성분말의 함량, 인가자장 및 사출성형 온도에 따른 자기적 특성 및 유변학적 특성을 조사하였다. Torque sensor에 의해 측정한 본 연구에 사용된 이방상 Nd-Fe-B계 자성분말의 최대 분말함량은 70.7vol%이었다. Compound의 자성분말 함량이 증가함에 따라 레진본드자석의 잔류자속밀도와 최대자기에너지적은 증가하여 54vol%에서 최대값을 보인후 다시 감소하였고, 보자력은 변화가 없었다. 54vol% 자성분말 함량 이상에서 잔류자속밀도와 최대자기에너지적이 다시 감소하는 것은 사출성형시 자성분말의 배향도 저하에 기인한다. 이것은 compound의 자성분말 함량이 증가함에 따라 compound의 유동성이 저하되어 사출성형시 자성분말의 이방화를 어렵게 만들기 때문이다. 사출성형 온도가 증가함에 따라 레진본드자석의 자기적 특성은 증가하였다. 이는 성형온도가 증가함에 따라 compound의 유동성이 향상되어 자성분말의 배향도가 증가되었기 때문이다. 따라서 사출성형에 의해 이방성 Nd-Fe-B계 레진본드자석 제조시 자기적 특성을 향상시키기 위해서는 compound의 자성말 함량 뿐만 아니라 compound의 유동성이 중요하게 고려되어야 한다.
