The paper investigates three types of transfer function methods for detecting displacements of winding in a model transformer. To acquire these transfer functions, the measuring method of input voltage, current and its response is used in impulse method. The applied impulse voltages had three rising times, which were short rising time (less than 0.6 ${\mu}s$), medium rising time (about 0.8 ${\mu}s$) and long rising time (about 1 ${\mu}s$) in front waves. Every 10 measurements of voltage and current waves were averaged from 50 measurements of voltage and current waves. These transfer functions were tested in normal, 24mm elevated and 48mm elevated windings conditions and were analyzed with correlation coefficients and spectrum deviations. In the analysis, the results depend on the types of transfer functions and the rising times of input voltages.

When fiber reinforced concrete is manufactured, it is useful to utilize lathe scrap as an aiternative material of steel fiber, because it is not only economical as an by-product of steel manufactures, but also has a very similar composition to that of steel fiber. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the compressive strength and tensile behavior and then propose a material model of lathe scrap reinforced mortar. For this purpose, the lathe scrap reinforced mortars were ma de a ccording to their tota l volume fra ction of 1.5 % for wa ter-binder ra tio of 30 % a nd 40 %, respectively, a nd then the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, direct tensile strength, and stress-strain curve of those were evaluated. Also, based on the experimental results of lathe scrap reinforced mortar the material model for tensile behavior was suggested. It was revealed that the experimental results and the proposed material model corresponded relatively well.

Background: The 3p deletions has been shown to be the most frequent alteration in lung cancers, strongly suggesting the presence of at least one tumor suppressor gene in this chromosomal region. However, no solid candidate for the tumor suppressor gene(s) on 3p has as yet been identified. Recent attention has focused on a candidate 3p14.2 tumor suppressor gene, FHIT, which is located in a region that is homozygously deleted in multiple tumor cell lines and disrupted by the hereditary renal cell carcinoma t(3;8) chromosomal translocation breakpoint FHIT also spans FRA3B, the most common fragile sites in the human genome. In the present study, we have analyzed expression of the FHIT gene in lung cancer cell lines. Methods: RNA from 21 lung cancer cell lines (16 NSCLC, 5 SCLC) were extracted using standard procedures. Random-primed. first strand cDNAs were synthesized from total RNA and PCR amplication of coding exons 5 to 9 was performed. The RT-PCR products were electrophoresed in 1.5% ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels. Results: 12 of 21(57%) lung cancer cell lines exhibited absent or aberrant FHIT expression [7 of 16(44%) of non-small cell lung cancer and 5 of 5(100%) of small cell lung cancer cell lines]. Conclusion: The result shows that abnormal transcription of the FHIT gene is common in human lung cancer cell lines, especially in small cell lung cancer.

Macrophages are a major cellular component of innate immunity and are mainly known to have phagocytic activity. In the tumor microenvironment (TME), they can be differentiated into tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). As the most abundant immune cells in the TME, TAMs promote tumor progression by enhancing angiogenesis, suppressing T cells and increasing immunosuppressive cytokine production. N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) is a tumor suppressor gene, whose expression is down-regulated in various cancers. However, the effect of NDRG2 on the differentiation of macrophages into TAMs in breast cancer remains elusive. In this study, we investigated the effect of NDRG2 expression in breast cancer cells on the differentiation of macrophages into TAMs. Compared to tumor cell-conditioned medium (TCCM) from 4T1-mock cells, TCCM from NDRG2-over-expressing 4T1 mouse breast cancer cells did not significantly change the morphology of RAW 264.7 cells. However, TCCM from 4T1-NDRG2 cells reduced the mRNA levels of TAM-related genes, including MR1, IL-10, ARG1 and iNOS, in RAW 264.7 cells. In addition, TCCM from 4T1-NDRG2 cells reduced the expression of TAM-related surface markers, such as CD206, in peritoneal macrophages (PEM). The mRNA expression of TAM-related genes, including IL-10, YM1, FIZZ1, MR1, ARG1 and iNOS, was also downregulated by TCCM from 4T1-NDRG2 cells. Remarkably, TCCM from 4T1-NDRG2 cells reduced the expression of PD-L1 and Fra-1 as well as the production of GM-CSF, IL-10 and ROS, leading to the attenuation of T cell-inhibitory activity of PEM. These data showed that compared with TCCM from 4T1-mock cells, TCCM from 4T1-NDRG2 cells suppressed the TAM differentiation and activation. Collectively, these results suggest that NDRG2 expression in breast cancer may reduce the differentiation of macrophages into TAMs in the TME.

AM, SM 및 ASA는 수용액중에서 겉보기 1차반응에 따라 분해되었으며 보존온도가 높을수록 분해가 촉진되는 온도 의존성을 나타내었다. AM의 분해경로는 pH 1.22 및 pH 7.0 이상에서는 AM$\longrightarrow$ SM $\longrightarrow$ SA의 경로로 주로 분해되었으며 pH 2.01 - 6.08의 범위에서는 AM $\longrightarrow$ASA$\longrightarrow$SA의 경로로 분해되는 양상을 보였다. 또 pH가 분해에 미치는 영향을 pH-rate profile로 나타낸 결과 AM, SM 및 ASA의 최대안정 pH는 각각 4.0, 3.0, 2.0 부근이 있고 이 조건에서의 분해 반감기는 114, 168, 113 hr로 나타났다. 전체적으로 보면 pH 2.0 이하에서는 ASA가 AM 보다 약간 안정한 편이나 pH 2.0-8.0 사이에서는 AM의 분해속도가 ASA보다 현저히 낮았다. 또 AM은 pH 7.0 이상에서, SM은 pH 6.0 이상에서, ASA는 9.0 이상에서 특수염기촉매반응에 따라 분해가 이루어지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이온강도($\mu$)의 영향으로는 pH 7.0에서 이온강도가 0.115에서 1.0으로 증가할수록 $\mu$$^{1}$2/에 대해 AM의 분해속도정수가 직선적으로 완만하게 감소되었다. 또 완충수용액 중 AM의 가수분해 억제효과를 검토하기 위해 시클로덱스트린류를 첨가하였을 때, $\beta$-시클로덱스트린과 히드록시프로필기-$\beta$-시클로덱스트린은 AM의 분해를 각각 1.6배 및 1.1배 촉진시켜 촉매적으로 작용하였으며 디메칠-$\beta$-시클로덱스트린은 약 3.2배 분해속도를 억제시켜 안정화제로 작용하였다.Zn^{2+}$, soybean trypsin inhibtor에 의해 25～50% 정도, serine proteinase inhibitor인 phenylmethylsulfonyl floride에 의해 80%정도 활성이 억제되는 특성이 있음을 규명하였다.면역환성 (immunoreactivity)이 나타났고 pyramidal cell layer (PCL)와 glia에 SOD-1이 강하게 염색되었다.

공작기계의 가공정도는 공작기계의 운동기구가 가지고 있는 기하오차와 절작작업시 발생하는 진동, 열,절삭력에 의해서 공작기계의 구조계,주축계,이송계의 변형에 의해서 직접적인 영향을 받는다. 또 가공정도는 제품의 정밀도 및 품질에 직접적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 가공정도를 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 공작기계의 오차를 측정/해석하는 방법이 연구되고 있다. 일반적으로,공작기계의 오차는 Quasi-static 오차와 Dynamic오차로 구분할수 있다. Dynamic 오차는 기계의 진동,채터 및 스핀들의 진동에 의해서만 발생하는 오차이며,Quasi-static 오차는 공작기계 구성요소인 안내면,칼럼,볼스크류등의 기하오차와 온도변화에 의한 열변형오차에 의해서 발생한다. 특히,공작기계 및 절삭가공중에 발생하는 열원에 의한 열변형 오차는 공작기계의 기하오차에 비해서 가공정도에 큰 영향을 미치며[1,2],발생오차의 약 40~70% 정도가열변형 오차에 기인한 것으로 알려져 있다[1]. 실제 많은 실험결과를 볼 때 CNC공작기계이 경우는 열변형에 의한 오차는 기하오차에 비해서 매우 크게 나타났다. 이러한 열변형 오차는 공작기계 주위 온도와 공작기계 구성요소(칼럼,이송유니크,스핀들유니트)의 비선형적인 온도 특성에 의해서 주로 발생하고, Time-variant특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 작업중에 발생하는 온도특성에 따른 열변형 오차를 최소화 할 수 있는 방법이 필요하다. 스핀들유니트는 냉각방식을 사용하여 온도변화를 줄이고 있으나 반복적인 작업과 스핀들의 고속회전으로 인해서 복합 적인 온도변화를 발생시킨다. 또, 볼스크류의 지지방식이 양쪽 고정단 형태이기 때문에 조립시 예압(pre-load)을 주어서 열팽창을 보상하고 있으나 공작기계의 반복적인 이송으로 인해서 발생하는 온도변화에 의한 열오차를 보상하는데는 어려움이 있다.됩니다. 생리적 저항력이 없는 어린이들은 이러한 공해와 생활조건의 제일희생자가 되는 것입니다. 엄마들이 "얘는 감기, 비염, 편도선을 달고 삽니다...."

Two experiments, involving a total of 100 crossbred pigs (Hampshire$\times$Landrace$\times$Duroc) aged 5 weeks, were used to evaluate the effect of Roselle (Hibicus sabdariffa Linn.) calyx as an antioxidant and acidifier on growth performance. Experiment 1: growth performance response of pigs fed basal corn-soy diet was compared with that of pigs consuming diets that contained 4, 8 and 12% Roselle in powder form, 4 g/kg acidifier (Fra$^{(R)}$Acid Dry) or 100 mg/kg antibiotic (Aurofac$^{(R)}$). All diets were isocaloric and isonitrogenous. Twenty-four castrated male and twelve female pigs were randomly allocated into 6 treatments which comprised 3 replicates (2 male and 1 female) of 2 pigs each. The results demonstrated no beneficial weight gain and feed intake response among treatments at 7, 9 and 11 weeks of age (p>0.05). However, feed-to-gain ratios (FCR) of Roselle-fed groups were significantly different from the basal-diet group at 7 weeks of age (p<0.05). Pigs fed with 8% Roselle had the lowest FCR. Therefore, 8% was set as an appropriate level of Roselle in feed. Experiment 2 was conducted to determine antioxidant and acidifier properties. Pigs were fed similar diets to Experiment 1 except that Roselle was fed to only one treatment at the level of 8%. Sixty-four piglets, 32 castrated male and female each were randomly allocated into 4 treatments which comprised 4 replicates (2 male and 2 female) of 4 pigs each. Body weight was measured. At 7 and 9 weeks of age, four pigs from each treatment were randomly selected. The pH in their gastrointestinal tract, pepsin activity in stomach mucosa, trypsin activity in the pancreas and protein and fat digestibility in the ileum were measured to investigate acidifier properties. For antioxidant properties, malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione concentration in plasma and liver were used as parameters. The results showed no significant difference in weight gain, pH or pepsin activity among all treatments at both ages (p>0.05). Nevertheless, trypsin activity and fat digestibility of the Roselle-fed group were higher than the basal-diet group at 7 weeks of age (p<0.05). Glutathione in plasma was significantly different between antibiotic-fed and basal-diet groups (p<0.05). Significant differences were found only in some parameters and between the basal-diet group and the other groups. Therefore, it cannot be precisely concluded that Roselle in powder form has clear acidifier and antioxidant properties in postweaning pigs. Further studies should be undertaken to clearly confirm both properties.

Purpose : Fragile sites are points on chromosomes which tend to break non-randomly when exposed to specific chemical agents or conditions of tissue culture. The chromosomal break induced by the antineoplastic drug, 1-${\beta}$-D-arabinofuranosyl-cytosine(Ara-c), was investigated to study the laboratory conditions in which the incidence of chromosomal break could be enhanced. Besides, the fragile sites induced by Ara-C were investigated and compared to the already known locations of the specific chromosomal alterations observed in specific neoplasms. Methods : T-lymphocytes from theree normal males and three females were cultured for 48 hours. Cells from each individual were exposed to the Ara-C for an additional 24 hours. After the caffeine was added during the last six hours culture, the metaphase chromosomes were prepared following the conventional method. A site was considered fragile if it was found to break two or more per 100 chromosomal breaks in more than four of six individuals tested. Results : Ara-C induced 252.1 chromosomal breaks per 100 mitotic cells and this result was significantly higher than that of the control, which induced 25.2 breaks(P<0.05). The incidence of the chromosomal break by Ara-C was higher, if cultured in the MEM-FA, which has no folic acid, than in the RPMI 1640 which contains enough folic acid(P<0.05). The most common break site by Ara-C was 3p14.2(FRA3B). There were 20 fragile sites induced by Ara-C. Among these 20 fragile sites, seven coincided with the locations of the mapped oncogenes, JUN, SKI, REL, N-MYC, FHIT, MET, ETS-1, and FOS. Conclusion : S phase specific chemotherapeutic agent, Ara-C, induced the expression of the chromosomal fragile sites effectively using the T-lymphocyte in vitro. Some of the fragile sites by Ara-C highly coincided with the oncogenes and neoplasm specific chromosome breakpoints. In this regard, the fragile sites reported here could provide the unknown neoplasm related chromosomal alternation points.
