  • The present study investigates the hemorheological characteristics of blood flow with applying vibration to a non-aggregating red blood cell suspension. In order to obtain the non-aggregating RBC suspension, blood samples were treated with vibration at a specified condition, which viscosities were taken before and after the treatment, respectively. The viscosity of the blood samples after treatment was higher than before treatment. These treated blood samples were forced to flow through a capillary tube that was vibrated perpendicularly to the direction of the flow. The experimental results showed that vibration caused a reduction of the flow resistance of the non-aggregated blood. The reduction of the flow resistance was strongly dependent on both frequency and amplitude of vibration. These results show potential in treating various diseases in the microcirculation associated with blood cell aggregation.

  • Experimental study was conducted to reveal the flow mechanism under rotating stall in an axial flow fan. For this study unsteady pressure was measured using high frequency pressure transducers mounted on the casing wall of rotor passage and total pressure fields were measured at the rotor upstream and downstream. The measured pressure signal was analyzed by Wavelet Transform and Double Phase Locked Averaging Technique. From the result of unsteady pressure field of the casing wall, one period of rotating stall was divided into three zones and the flow characteristics on each zone were described in detail. The pressure field was also analyzed in terms of the pressure distribution along pressure side and suction side of blade tip. From the result of total pressure fields at inlet and outlet of the rotor, the useful information on the characteristics of the stall cell in radial direction was provided.

  • An experimental study was performed for measuring velocity and turbulence intensity in a circular tube for Re= 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000, with swirl and without swirling flow. The velocity fields were measured using PIV techniques and swirl motion was produced by a tangential inlet condition. Some preliminary measurements indicated that over the first 4 diameter, two regions of flow reversal were set up (the so called 2-cell structure). At the highest Reynolds numbers, the maximum values of the measured axial velocity components had moved toward the test tube wall and produce more flow reversal at the conter of the tube. As the Reynolds number increased, the turbulence intensity of swilling flow at the tube inlet also increased.

  • The Vortex-In-Cell(VIC) method combined with panel method is applied to the analysis of incompressible unsteady viscous flow. The dynamics of resulting flow is governed by the vorticity transport equation in Lagrangian form with vortex particle representation of the flow field. A regular grid which is independent to the shape of a body is used for numerical evaluation based on immersed boundary technique. With an introduction of this approach, the development and validation of the VIC method is presented with some computational results for incompressible viscous flow around two or three dimensional bodies such as wing section, sphere, finite wing and marine propeller.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CELL curriculum participation on learning flow, learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, and self-directed learning ability. To this end, in the first semester of 2020, 386 students from K University conducted a pre-post survey and analyzed using SPSS. The main research results are as follows. First, participation in the CELL curriculum showed statistically significant improvement in the student's learning flow, learning motivation, academic self-efficacy, and self-directed learning ability. Second, the analysis by gender showed significant improvement in learning flow, academic self-efficacy, and self-directed learning ability only for female students. Third, in the analysis by grade level, the sophomore showed significant improvement in learning flow and self-directed learning ability, the junior in all variables, and the senior in academic self-efficacy and self-directed learning ability. Fourth, participation impressions and improvements were summarized through interviews of participating students. This study is significant in that it examines the effectiveness of the CELL curriculum and suggests practical measures for systematic operation and support.

  • The Southeast Asian javanica rice variety Tinawen was investigated for efficient protoplast culture and plant regeneration from cell suspension-derived protoplasts using a feeder cell culture method. Feeder cells of both Lolium multiflorum and Oryza ridleyi, either alone, or in combination, were employed and plants were regenerated from protoplast-derived colonies on several plant regeneration media. Dehydration of protoplast-derived colonies was also investigated as a means of enhancing plant regeneration. In the presence of L. multiflorum or O. ridleyi feeder cells, the protoplast plating efficiency ranged from 0.09% to 1.48%, depending on the feeder cell type and the age of the cell suspension. L. multiflorum feeder cells induced approximately 6-fold higher plating efficiency compared with those of O. ridleyi. The plant regeneration frequencies were 19.3-31.7% with L. multiflorum, 13.0-18.0% with O. ridleyi and 18.0-22.0% with a mixture of both in various plant regeneration media when protoplast-derived colonies were dehydrated, while for the non-dehydrated colonies, the values were 2.0-7.0%, 3.0-5.0% and 0-4.0%, respectively. Flow cytometric analysis of 34 protoplast-derived plants showed that the majority of plants were diploids and only 2 plants were tetraploids. The plants which were transferred to glasshouse were fertile.

  • Cytogenetic analyses were carried out with induced hybrid between common carp (Cyprinus carpio) female and crucian carp (Carassius auratus) male. The erythrocytic measurement revealed that cellular and nuclear size of induced hybrids were intermediate between those of paremtal species. The modal chromosome numbers of common carp, crucian carp and its hybid were same as 2n=100. The DNA content of induced hybrids determined based on flow cytometry was 3.7pg/cell which corresponding to intermediate value between the carp (3.6ph/cell) and crucian carp (3.8pg/cell)

  • This study investigates drying condition when a small fan is added to a operating the free-breathing proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) with dry $H_2$ and Air. Polarization tests were conducted on PEMFCs at cell temperatures between 30 and $50^{\circ}C$ under dry operation. In the results, the cell performance strongly depended on the cell temperature and the cathode gas stoichiometric flow rates. The cell performance increases as cell temperature decreases from 50 to $30^{\circ}C$. In the domain where the stoichiometry of air is quite large, reduction of the concentration overpotential compensated the increased internal resistance due to drying. The maximum performance was obtained at the small air flow rate beyond which flooding occurs. This indicates that the fan should be operated in the stoichiometry domain with a well designed cell structure to avoid flooding.

  • Efficient plant regenerationsystem from cell suspension cultures was established in D. acicularis (2n = 90) by monitoring ploidy level and visual selection of the cultures. The highly regenerable cell lines selected maintained original ploidy level and consisted of compact cell clumps with yellowish color and relatively moderate growth, suggesting that it is possible to select visually the highly regenerable cell lines with the original ploidy level. All the regenerated plantlets from the highly regenerable cell cultures exhibited normal phenotypes and no variations in ploidy level were observed by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis.
