Purpose: The objective of this study is to review researches regarding factors that potentially affect adolescent calcium (Ca) metabolism, and to suggest a potential modeling approach for optimizing gastrointestinal Ca absorption and peak bone mass. Background: Optimal gastrointestinal Ca absorption is a key to maximizing peak bone mass in adolescents. Urine Ca excretion in adolescents rises only after bone accretion is saturated, indicating that higher intestinal Ca absorption and bone retention is necessary to ensure maximum bone accretion. Hence, maximizing peak bone mass is possible by controlling the factors influencing gastrointestinal Ca absorption and bone accretion. However, a mechanism that explains the unique adolescent Ca metabolism has not yet been elucidated. Review: Dietary factors that enhance gastrointestinal Ca absorption may increase the available Ca pool usable for bone accretion, and a specific hormone may direct optimal Ca utilization to maximize peak bone mass. IGF-1 is an endocrine hormone whose levels peak during adolescence and increase fractional Ca absorption and bone Ca accretion. Prebiotics, generally obtained from dietary sources, have been reported to exert a beneficial effect on Ca absorption via microbiota activity. We selected and reviewed three candidates that could be used to propose a comprehensive Ca metabolic model for optimal Ca absorption and peak bone mass in adolescents. Modeling: Modeling has been used to investigate Ca metabolism and its regulators. Herein, we reviewed previous Ca modeling studies. Based on this review, we proposed a method for developing a comprehensive model that includes regulatory effectors of IGF-1 and prebiotics.

The aims of this study was to determine the mechanical properties of steel-fiber reinforced concrete under direct tensile loading, and also to insestigate the mechanism fiber reinforcement in order to improve the possible applications of steel-fiber reinforced concrete. In this study the major variables of experimental investigation were fiber conntents, and the lengths and diameters of fibers. The major results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption capability of steel-fiber reinforced concrete under direct tensile loading were improved as increasing of fiber contents. 2. The direct tensile strength of steel-fiber reinforced concrete was not influenced by the lengths of fiber, but was decreased as increasing of fiber diameters. 3. The direct tensile strength of steel-fiber reinforced concrete was not influenced by the fiber aspect-ratio, but this was because the fiber contents were below the critical value of fiber content. 4. The correlation of direct tensile strength and combined parameter, Vf l/d, was not good. 5. Mutiple cracking and post-crack resistance were investigated at stress-strain curves in direct tensile test. 6. The effect of fiber reinforcement can be influenced by fiber orientation and the bond strength between fiber and matrix. 7. The improvement of mechanical properties of steel-fiber reinforced concrete under direct tensile loading can be theoretically explained by the concept of composite materials.

CdSe 양자 구슬 구조의 X선 회절 무늬를 조사하여 그 결정 구조가 육각 결정 구조임을 밝혔고, 선형 흡수 스펙트럼으로부터 양자 구속 효과에 의한 흡수 봉우리들이 나타남을 확인하였다. 에너지가 낮은 에너지 준위보다 높은 에너지 준위에 많은 전자-양공 짝을 만들었을 때, 낮은 에너지 준위에 대한 흡수 봉오리의 흡수 계수 변화가 작게 일어남을 관찰함으로써 띠내 전이의 선택률이 잘 지켜지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이로부터 실험에 사용된 CdSe 양자 구슬 구조가 크기 및 모양의 불규칙성으로 인한 불균일계라기 보다는 균일계로 기술되어짐을 밝혔다.

This paper discusses the effect of varying LiBr solution circuits flow rates for a direct fired double effect commercial absorption chiller in the parallel flow configuration. The effects of solution flow rates have been investigated for generator, condenser, solution heat exchanger, absorber and evaporator. According to the result of this work, it was found that sensible heat rate of generator increases and refrigerant vapor generated in that decreases when inlet solution flow rate of that increases. As solution flow rate of absorber increases, the degree of superheat increases because of decreasing solution heat exchanger efficiency. The flashing vapor at the top of absorber increases in proportion to the degree of superheat whileas decreases cooling capacity inversely.

Zinc is an essential trace element. Previos methods for the determination of zinc in serum have been difficult and reported findings must be treated with caution. The normal range of zinc in serum varies significantly according to different methods and author. The scope of this work was to establish the normal range of zinc in serum values in healthy Korean persons. Methods are described for the determination of zinc in serum diluted ten-fold with deionised water using Hitachi Model 207, atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The values of zinc in serum of 23 healthy Korean persons by atomic absorption spectroscopy ranged from 87.6 to $131.2\;{\mu}g/100\;ml$ with the mean value $109.1\;{\mu}g/100\;ml$ and standard deviation 10.86. In this method, satifactory result was obtained with regard to the coefficient variation and recoveries of added zinc in the measurenents.

Ultrasonic relaxation measurements for imidazole and its derivative in phosphate buffer exhibit a high peak of absorption at neutral pH. Near neutral pH, protolysis and hydrosis may be neglected and the essential reaction only consists of a direct proton-exchange. The kinetics constants and the volume changes for the proton transfer reaction with the protonated imidazole and 2-methylimidazole have been determined at 25℃. The kinetics constants are 7.2×108s-1M-1for imidazole and 1.7×108s-1M-1 for 2-methylimidazole. The kinetics constants are used to estimate the spectrum of relaxation times and acoustic relaxation amplitude associated with intermolecular and intramolecular proton-exchange reactions in bilogical media. It is concluded that the magnitude of the acoustic absorption reasonalbly attributable to the perturbation of proton-transfer equilibria between imidazole and inorganic phosphate is comparable in magnitude with the acoustic absorption observed in some intact tissues.

The purpose of this study is to verify the interaction between food and ampicillin which is one of the aminopenicillins known to be absorbed by a specified dipeptide transporter in the small intestine. The absorption of ampicillin was measured in the presence of the high carbohydrate food, high fat food, and high protein food, and compared with that in the presence of the control normal food. In situ single-pass perfusion method was chosen in these experiments using two jejunal segments in the rat. Reduction in the absorption of ampicillin was not shown, when both high carbohydrate food and high fat food were co-perfused with ampicillin. When the high protein food was co-perfused with ampicillin, the difference of $C_{out}/C_{in}$ of ampicillin ratio was $0.084\;{\pm}\;0.082$, showing a trend of reduced absorption without a significance. Further, glyclysarcosine (Gly-Sar) which is a stable dipeptide in the small intestine was used in order to see the direct competitive inhibition with ampicillin on the dipeptide transporter. The difference of $C_{out}/C_{in}$ ratio was $0.078\;{\pm}\;0.020$ in the presence of 10 mM Cly-Sar, showing a significant inhibition of ampicillin absorption (p < 0.02). It suggests that dietary di- and tripeptides, the digestive products of protein food, might have influence on the absorption of ampicillin, and that ampicillin could be given at the lasting state for better absorption.

Temporal variations of optical properties of urban aerosol in Seoul were estimated by the Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds (OPAC) model, based on hourly aerosol sampling data in Seoul during the year of 2010. These optical properties were then used to calculate direct radiative forcing during the study period. The optical properties and direct radiative forcing of aerosol were calculated separately for four chemical components such as water-soluble, insoluble, black carbon (BC), and sea-salt aerosols. Overall, the coefficients of absorption, scattering, and extinction, as well as aerosol optical depth (AOD) for water-soluble component predominated over three other aerosol components, except for the absorption coefficient of BC. In the urban environment (Seoul), the contribution of AOD (0.10~0.12) for the sum of OC and BC to total AODs ranged from 23% (spring) to 31% (winter). The diurnal variation of AOD for each component was high in the morning and low in the late afternoon during the most of seasons, but the high AODs at 14:00 and 15:00 LST in summer and fall, respectively. The direct negative radiative forcing of most chemical components (especially, $NO_3{^-}$ of water-soluble) was highest in January and lowest in September. Conversely, the positive radiative forcing of BC was highest in November and lowest in August due to the distribution pattern of BC concentration.

We review the observational evidence for the existence of a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM). We expect that the morphology of this material is similar to that of cosmic rays and magnetic fields in large-scale structure, i.e., filaments connecting clusters of galaxies. Direct evidence for the WHIM, either in emission or absorption, is weak.
