  • Plants are unable to relocate themselves to a more favorable location and thus have to deal with developmental programs and environmental cues wherever they happen to be. It is yet largely unknown how plant cells coordinate cellular activities and architectures to accomplish developmental processes and respond to environmental changes. By identifying and establishing a new cellular model system, we have discovered that two neighboring cell types in the abscission zone (AZ) of Arabidopsis flowers coordinate their activities to ensure a precise "cut" through a highly restricted area of plant tissue to bring about organ separation. From this perspective, we further discuss the essence of cellular coordination in AZ, the key molecules controlling the organ separation, and relevant implications.

  • Degradation characteristics of filament-winded composites due to accelerated environmental aging have been evaluated under high temperature, water immersion and thermal impact conditions. Two kinds of laminated composites coated by an urethane resin have been used: carbon-fiber reinforced epoxy(T700/Epon-826, CFRP) and glass-fiber reinforced phenolic (E-glass/phenolic, GFRP). For tensile strength of $0^{\circ}$ composites, CFRP did high reduction by 25% under the influence of high temperature and water while CFRP showed little degradation. However for water-immersed $90^{\circ}$ composites both CFRP and GFRP showed high reduction in tensile strength. Bending strength and modulus of $90^{\circ}$ composites were largely reduced in water-immersion as well as high temperature environment. Urethane coating on the composite surface improved the bending properties by 20%, however hardly showed such improvement for water-immersed $90^{\circ}$ composites.

  • As concrete ages, the surrounding environment is expected to have growing influences on the concrete. As all the impacts of the environment cannot be considered in the strength-estimating model of a nondestructive concrete test, the increase in concrete age leads to growing uncertainty in the strength-estimating model. Therefore, the variation of the model error increases. It is necessary to include those impacts in the probability model of concrete strength attained from the nondestructive tests so as to build a more accurate reliability model for structural performance evaluation. This paper reviews and categorizes the existing strength-estimating statistical models of nondestructive concrete test, and suggests a new form of the strength-estimating statistical models to properly reflect the model uncertainty due to aging of the concrete. This new form of the statistical models will lay foundation for more accurate structural performance evaluation.

  • In this paper, we examined 10 domestic samples of three different model using thermal, humidity freeze, thermal-endurance and damp heat test under IEC61215 photovoltaic module environmental endurance test condition. Three was almost no changes on power generation. Insulation resistance capacity was much higher than judgement standard but, showed unstable results depending on environmental test items. On external appearance test, there were two models which showed bubble, humidity penetration, seal melted frame phenomenon. From this results, the degree of aging under the external environment is a main cause that shortens photovoltaic module life time. So it is considered that the efforts for finding optimum condition of manufacturing process should be needed.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Acanthopanax sessiliflorus is a native Korean plant and used as a traditional medicine or an ingredient in many Korean foods. The free radical theory of aging suggests that cellular oxidative stress caused by free radicals is the main cause of aging. Free radicals can be removed by cellular anti-oxidants. MATERIALS/METHODS: Here, we examined the anti-oxidant activity of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract both in vitro and in vivo. Survival of nematode C. elegans under stress conditions was also compared between control and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract-treated groups. Then, anti-aging effect of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus extract was monitored in C. elegans. RESULTS: Stem extract significantly reduced oxidative DNA damage in lymphocyte, which was not observed by leaves or root extract. Survival of C. elegans under oxidative-stress conditions was significantly enhanced by Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem extract. In addition, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem increased resistance to other environmental stresses, including heat shock and ultraviolet irradiation. Treatment with Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem extract significantly extended both mean and maximum lifespan in C. elegans. However, fertility was not affected by Acanthopanax sessiliflorus stem. CONCLUSION: Different parts of Acanthopanax sessiliflorus have different bioactivities and stem extract have strong anti-oxidant activity in both rat lymphocytes and C. elegans, and conferred a longevity phenotype without reduced reproduction in C. elegans, which provides conclusive evidence to support the free radical theory of aging.

  • 10년 이상 보관된 니트로셀룰로오스 (Nitrocellulose, 니트로셀룰로오스) 재질의 화약용기 안전 검사를 진행하는 과정 중 화약이 보관되어진 용기에 균열이 발생한 것을 확인하여 고장 원인 분석 시험을 실시하였다. 고장이 발생한 데에 영향을 준 요인을 선별하기 위해 먼저 고장수목분석(Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)을 통해 고장 요인 및 원인에 대해 탐구하였으며, 보관 시 발생할 수 있는 내·외부적인 요인 및 환경에 대한 영향성을 확인한 결과 열에 의해 화학 반응이 가속화되어 발생한 화약용기의 물성 변화가 고장의 원인인 것으로 추정하였다. 이를 확인하기 위해 자연 노화된 화약용기를 이용하여 열충격시험, 양립성 시험 등의 환경시험을 수행하여 고장의 원인 분석을 수행하였으며, 가속노화시험을 통해 고장 재현 시험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 앞선 고장수목분석 결과와 같이 열과 화약에 의해 화학 반응이 가속화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 화약용기의 물성이 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 열 노화에 의한 수명 추정을 위해 아레니우스 모델(Arrhenius Model)을 이용하여 화약용기의 사용 수명을 추정하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 시멘트와 유사한 경화반응을 나타내어 붕괴된 비탈면의 복구공사에 사용되고 있는 표층안정재를 노후된 저수지의 보강재료로 활용하기 위해 실내시험과 모형시험, 프로그램 해석을 실시하여 보강효과를 분석하였다. 실내시험을 통해 혼합비에 따른 점착력과 내부마찰각의 변화를 분석한 결과, 표층안정재의 혼합비는 9%가 적절한 것으로 나타났다. 실내시험 결과를 토대로 혼합비 9%를 적용하여 모형시험과 프로그램 해석을 실시한 결과, 표층안정재를 사용한 경우에는 제내지 비탈면의 일부와 제체 아래에서만 물의 흐름이 발생하여 제체 내부에서 물의 흐름을 감소시킬 수 있으며, 침투유량은 약 42%, 제체 내부에서의 포화면적은 약 73% 감소시킬 수 있어 노후된 저수지의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 EPDM 고분자애자의 염무량 변화(salt:l0g, 25g, 50g, deionized water: 1000g)에 따른 표면방전과 환경적인 변화(salt fog 및 clean fog 그리고 raim)에 대한 누설전류 파형의 결과를 알아보았다. 기본파 및 3고조파 그리고 5고조파의 변화양상을 과전초기로부터 섬락시에 이르기까지 나타내었다. 표면열화의 진단기법을 개발하기위해서 누설전류파형의 주파수 스펙트럼을 이용하였고, 고분자애자의 표면열화에대한 환경적인 영향(clean fog, salt fog, rain)을 연구 하였다. 염분량의 변화시 기본파에 대한 저주파 고조파인 3고조파 및 5고조파에 대한 백분율(왜곡도)의 변화를 이용하여 표면 열화상태 및 정도를 정량화(a standard capacity)하여 나타내었다. 기본파에 대한 고조파 백분율인 왜곡율은 고분자 애자의 표면조건을 평가하는데 필요한 지시자라는 사실을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objectives: It is well known that genetic factors and environmental factors play major role in aging skin. In general, son and daughter take after their parents in appearance. But comparability of skin properties in Korean family has not been well estimated. So we evaluated the correlation of skin properties in Korean mother-daughter pairs. Methods: 10 couples of mother and daughter pair(n=20) participate in this study. Mothers and daughters were aged $50.6{\pm}2.459$ and $23.8{\pm}2.15$ years, respectively. Skin moisture, sebum, skin color and elasticity is measured using non-invasive method : Corneometer CM825, Sebumeter(MPA580), Mexameter MX18, Cutometer MPA580. Statistical analysis program we used is Minitab 14 Korea. Results: The Skin moisture of mother group was significantly higher than daughter group. And skin elasticity(R2) of the daughter group was significantly higher than mother group. In the results of correlation analysis between mother and daughter pairs, skin elasticity(R2) had high positive correlation(r=0.729, p=0.026). But skin moisture, sebum, melanin index, erythema index and skin elasticity(R5) did not be confirmed a significant correlation. Conclusions: Skin elasticity(R2) is the only factor that showed high positive correlation significantly in mother and daughter pairs. Mother and daughter share the genetic factors and environmental factors that influence skin aging. So, mother's aging pattern will be a good guide for anti-aging of daughters.
