$Al_2O_3/SiC$ Hybrid-Composite이 일반적인 분말공정에 의하여 제조되었다. 소결시 $\gamma-Al_2O_3에서 $\alpha-Al_2O_3$로의 전이에 seed역할을 하는 $\alpha-Al_2O_3의 첨가는 균일한 미세구조를 발달시켜 강도의 증진을 가져왔다. nano size의 SiC의 첨가는 $Al_2O_3$의 소결성과 입성장에 영향을 미쳐 파괴강도의 증진을 가져왔다. $Al_2O_3/SiC$ nano-Composite에 SiC plates의 첨가는 파괴강도의 감소를 가져왔지만, 상대적으로 파괴인성은 증진되었다. SiC plates에 nitride (BN, $Si_3N_4$ 코팅을 할 경우 crack deflection을 더욱 유발하여 파괴인성이 증진되었다.

A series of soil bin experiment was carried out on sand to investigate if true model theory is applicable to blade-soil system and finally to find mathematical relationship between the dimensionless terms which contain the blade-soil parameters. The following conclusions were derived from the study. 1. It was proved that the draft of the prototype blade can be predicted without distortion by those of model blades with the length scale of 1.2, 2 and 2.4. 2. For the sand, bulk density was found to be a good measure of soil physical properties which are pertinent to predict the draft of the blade-soil system. 3. The mathematical relationship between $D/{\gamma}W$ and d/W, ${\beta}$, and $V^2/Wg$ are as follows ; $$\frac{D}{{\gamma}W^3}=124.98[\frac{d}{W}]^2+7.16[\frac{d}{W}]+0.43 \\ \frac{D}{{\gamma}W^3}=-0.00099{\beta}^2+0.13{\beta}-2.01 \\ \frac{D}{{\gamma}W^3}=0.041[\frac{V^2}{Wg}]^2+0.08[\frac{V^2}{Wg}]+1.3$$

Nitrocarburizing was carried out with various $CH_4$ gas composition with 4 torr gas pressure at $570^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours and post oxidation was carried out with 100% $O_2$ gas atmosphere with 4 torr at different temperatures for various time. In the case of plasma nitrocarburizing, It is that the ratio of ${\varepsilon}-Fe_{2-3}$(N, C) and ${\gamma}^{\prime}-Fe_4$(C, N), which comprise the compound layer phase, depend on concentrations of $N_2$ gas and $CH_4$ such that when the concentration of $N_2$ and $CH_4$ increased, the ratio of ${\gamma}^{\prime}-Fe_4$(C, N) decreased, but the ratio of ${\varepsilon}-Fe_{2-3}$(N, C) increased. The thickness of compound layer consistently increased as gas concentration increased regardless of $N_2$ and $CH_4$ expect when the concentration of $CH_4$ was 3.5 volume%, it decreased insignificantly. When oxidizing for 15min in the temperature range of $460{\sim}570{^\circ}C$, the study found small amount of $Fe_3O_4$ at the temperature of $460{^\circ}C$ and also found that amounts of $Fe_2O_3$. and $Fe_3O_4$ on the surface and amount of ${\gamma}^{\prime}-Fe_4$(C, N) in the compound layer increased as the increased over $460^{\circ}C$, but the thickness of the compound layer decreased. Corrosion resistance was influenced by oxidation times and temperature.

목적 : 방사선조사가 세포내재성 병원균인 Listeria monocytogenes (LM)의 감염에 미치는 영향과 함께 감염면역과 밀접한 관계가 있는 대식세포에서의 $TNF-\alpha$ 및 Nitric oxide (NO) 생산능의 변화와 비장세포에서의 $IFN-\gamma$ 및 IL-2생산능에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 본 실험을 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 실험동물로는 BALB/c 마우스를 사용하였으며 Co-60 원격치료기를 이용하여 방사선을 조사하였다. LM감염에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해서 방사선조사 1일후 $10^5$의 LM균을 복강내에 주사하고 1일, 3일, 5일후에 비장조직에서 LM생균수를 측정하였다. 방사선조사가 마우스의 생체내에서와 시험관내에서의 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산능에 미치는 효과를 관찰하기 위해서 각각 LPS로 유도하여 L929/Actinomycin D assay에 의해 $TNF-\alpha$량을 측정하였다. $IFN-\gamma$의 생성능은 방사선조사후 비장을 적출하여 비장세포액을 제조하여 Concavalin A (Con-A)로 자극한 후 정량검사를 하였다. IL-2의 생성능은 $IFN-\gamma$실험에서와 같이 비장세포를 얻어서 Con-A로 자극하여 CTLL-2세포의 성장촉진능력을 관찰함으로써 판정하였다. 방사선조사가 복강내 대식세포에서 생산되는 NO에 미치는 영향도 관찰하였다. 결과 : 방사선 (300cGy)을 조사한 군에 LM을 감염시킨 1일후 비장으로부터 검출되는 생균수는 대조군에 비해 감소하였으나 감염 3일 5일후의 생균수는 대조군에 비하여 오히려 증가하였다. 시험관내 복강대식세포에 방사선 (100-850cGy)을 조사하면 1일후 생산되는 $TNF-\alpha$의 양은 대조군에 비하여 증가하였으나, 방사선조사 (100-600cGy) 5일후 수집된 복강대식세포에 의한 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산은 오히려 감소하였고. 방사선조사 (300cGy)후 LM감염시 5일후 유도된 생체내 $TNF-\alpha$의 생산도 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. 방사선 (300cGy)을 조사한 마우스로부터 적출한 비장세포로부터 생산되는 $IFN-\gamma$와 IL-2의 양은 대조군에 비해 감소하였다. NO의 양은 100cGy 및 300cGy조사시 대조군에 비해 증가하였으며 그 이상 조사량을 증가하면 점차 감소하였다. 결론 : 방사선조사후 세포내재성 병원균인 LM감염에 대한 초기 저항성의 증가와 감염중반이후의 저항성 감소는 대식세포에서의 초기 $TNF-\alpha$ 생산능 증가후 감소, 그리고 T림프구에서의 $IFN-\gamma$및 IL-2 생산능 감소와 관련이 있을 것으로 사료된다.

신경전달물질을 수송하는 신경전달물질 수송체는 연접전막에서 신경전달물질의 농도를 조절한다. 신경세포에 발현하는 GATs들은 연접에서 억제성 신경전달물질인 GABA의 재흡수에 관여한다. GAT2/BGT1가 어떻게 연접전막에 안정적으로 존재하는지, 어떤 결합단백질과 결합하여 조절을 받는지는 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 GAT2의 C-말단과 특이적으로 결합하는 mammalian Lin-7 (MALS)-2을 분리하였다. GAT2의 C-말단에 존재하는 "T-X-L"아미노산 배열이 MALS-2와의 결합에 필수적으로 관여하였다. 또한 이 단백질간의 결합을 pull-down assay로 확인한 결과 MALS는 glutathione S-transferase (GST)와는 결합하지 않으나 GST-GAT2와는 결합하였다. 또한 생쥐의 뇌 균질액에서 GAT2는 MALS와 함께 침강함을 면역침강으로 확인하였다. 이러한 결과들은 MALS가 GAT2와 결합하여 GAT2를 연접전막에서 안정화시키는 역할을 함을 시사한다.

Studying the effects of gamma radiation on the instrumentation and control (I&C) system of a nuclear power plant is critical to the successful and reliable operation of the plant. In the accidental scenario, the adverse environment of ionizing radiation affects the performance of the I&C system and it leads to inaccurate and incomprehensible results. This paper reports the effects of gamma radiation on the AT89C51RD2, a commercial-off-the-shelf 8-bit high-performance flash microcontroller. The microcontroller, selected for the device under test for this study is used in the remote terminal unit for a nuclear power plant. The custom circuits were made to test the microcontroller under different gamma doses using a ⁶⁰Co gamma source in both ex-situ and in-situ modes. The device was exposed to a maximum dose of 1.5 kGy. Under this hostile environment, the performance of the microcontroller was studied in terms of device current and voltage changes. It was observed that the microcontroller device can operate up to a total absorbed dose of approximately 0.6 kGy without any failure or degradation in its performance.

A powder metallurgy-based rapid consolidation technique, Plasma Pressure Compaction ($P^2C^{(R)}$), was utilized to produce near-net shape parts of gamma titanium aluminides (${\gamma}$-TiAl). Micron-sized ${\gamma}$-TiAl powders, composed of Ti-50%Al and Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb (at%), were rapidly consolidated to form near-net shape ${\gamma}$-TiAl parts in the form of 1.0" (25.4 mm) diameter discs, as well as $3"{\times}2.25"$ ($76.2mm{\times}57.2mm$) tiles, having a thickness of 0.25" (6.35 mm). The ${\gamma}$-TiAl parts were consolidated to near theoretical density. The microstructural morphology of the consolidated parts was found to vary with consolidation conditions. Mechanical properties exhibited a strong dependence on microstructural morphology and grain size. Because of the rapid consolidation process used here, grain growth during consolidation was minimal, which in turn led to enhanced mechanical properties. Consolidated ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples corresponding to Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb composition with a duplex microstructure (with an average grain size of $5{\mu}m$) exhibited superior mechanical properties. Flexural strength, ductility, elastic modulus and fracture toughness for these samples were as high as 1238 MPa, 2.3%, 154.58 GPa and 17.95 MPa $m^{1/2}$, respectively. The high temperature mechanical properties of the consolidated ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples were characterized in air and vacuum and were found to retain flexural strength and elastic modulus for temperatures up to $700^{\circ}C$. At high temperatures, the flexural strength of ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples with Ti-50%Al composition deteriorated in air by 10% as compared to that in vacuum. ${\gamma}$-TiAl samples with Ti-48%Al-2%Nb-2%Cr composition exhibited better if not equal flexural strength in air than in vacuum at high temperatures.

본 연구에서는 A.cycloclast ATCC 21921 균주를 사용하여 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine으로부터 L-carnitine을 생산하는 최적 조건에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 배양액 내에 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine 만을 포함하였을때는 최대 L-carnitine 생산량이 29g/L이었고 전환수율도 30.9 mol%로 매우 낮았다. L-carmtine 생산에 미치는 탄소원의 영향을 관찰한 결과 glycerol을 첨가할 경우 L-carnitine 생산량이 4.6g/L 그리고 전환수율이 88.2 mol%로 $\gamma$-butyrobetaineaks을 포함하였을 때보다 월등히 향상되었다. Betaine, chohne와 같은 quaternary ammonium compounds 들이 L-carnitine 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사해본 결과, 이들에 의하여 L-carntine 생산 속도가 빨라지고 전환수율도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 기질인 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine 농도 3% 이상에서 세포 생장은 저해되고 L-carnitine 생산은 기질 농도 2-3%에서 가장 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 구한 최적 생산 조건, 다시 말해서 glycerol과 choline을 배양액에 포함하고 기질의 농도를 2%^로 하여 플라스크에서 회분식 배양을 하였을 때, 배양 4일 만에 최대 7.2g/L의 L-carrutine을 생산할 수 있었고 이때 $\gamma$-butyrobetaine으로부터 L-carnitine에로의 전환수율은 98.7mol%이었다.

This study is to investigate the phase changes and cold workability after isothermal transformation at $780^{\circ}C$ by using the high temperature gas nitrided (HTGN) STS 430 ferritic stainless steel specimens. The phase diagram of STS 430 steel obtained by calculation showed that the phase appeared at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed as ${\alpha}+{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N{\rightarrow}{\gamma}+Cr_2N+CrN$ with increasing nitrogen concentration. Also, the transformation of ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}Cr_2N$ during heat treatment isothermally at $780^{\circ}C$, nitrogen pearlite with lamellar type was fully formed at the nitrogen permated surface layer for 10 hrs. However, this transformation was not completed for 1 hr, resulting nitrogen pearlite plus martensite. The cold rolled specimen of isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs after high temperature gas nitriding decreased the layer thickness of nitrogen pearlite inducing the deformation of hard $Cr_2N$ phase. the dissolution rate of $Cr_2N$ phase increased rapidly with increasing cold rolling ratio. Specimens with the microstructure of nitrogen pearlite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 10 hrs) were possible to cold rolling without crack formation. However, the mixed structures of nitrogen pearlite + martensite (isothermally transformed at $780^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr) were impossible to cold deformation without cracking.
