  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation and progressive cartilage and bone erosion. Korean red ginseng (KRG) has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the secretion of inflammatory cytokines like $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-1, -6, and -8, and $IPN-{\gamma}$. In this study, whether KRG extract has an inhibitory effect on the collagen-inducible development of arthritis in DBA/1J mice was investigated. To induce arthritis, type II collagen emulsified in Complete Freund's Adjuvant was intradermally injected into the base of the tails of mice. Three weeks after the initial injection, a booster injection of type II collagen emulsified in Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant was administered. The oral administration of KRG extract for 8${\sim}$10 weeks at the dose of 300 mg/kg (three days a week) inhibited the development of arthritis in the experimental group, compared to the control group which was given saline. While the administration of KRG extract three times a week demonstrated both preventive and inhibitory effects, the administration of KRG extract once a week had little inhibitory effect. In other studies, the regimen of KRG administration has been shown to decrease the plasma level of inflammatory cytokines like IL-8 and TNF-${\alpha}$, but the plasma levels of these cytokines were not decreased in the present study. The results of the present study suggest that KRG has preventive and inhibitory effects on collagen-induced arthritis.

  • In the current study, the influence of the initial lateral (sweep) shape and the cross-sectional twist imperfection on the lateral torsional buckling (LTB) response of doubly-symmetric steel I-beams was investigated. The material imperfection (residual stress) was not considered. For this objective, standard European IPN 300 beam with different unbraced span was numerically analyzed for three imperfection cases: (i) no sweep and no twist (perfect); (ii) three different shapes of global sweep (half-sine, full-sine and full-parabola between the end supports); and (iii) the combination of three different sweeps with initial sinusoidal twist along the beam. The first comparison was done between the results of numerical analyses (FEM) and both a theoretical solution and the code lateral torsional buckling formulations (EC3 and AISC-LRFD). These results with no imperfection effects were then separately compared with three different shapes of global sweep and the presence of initial twist in these sweep shapes. Besides, the effects of the shapes of initial global sweep and the inclusion of sinusoidal twist on the critical buckling load of the beams were investigated to unveil which parameter was considerably effective on LTB response. The most compatible outcomes for the perfect beams was obtained from the AISC-LRFD formulation; however, the EC-3 formulation estimated the $P_{cr}$ load conservatively. The high difference from the EC-3 formulation was predicted to directly originate from the initial imperfection reduction factor and high safety factor in its formulation. Due to no consideration of geometric imperfection in the AISC-LFRD code solution and the theoretical formulation, the need to develop a practical imperfection reduction factor for AISC-LRFD and theoretical formulation was underlined. Initial imperfections were obtained to be more influential on the buckling load, as the unbraced length of a beam approached to the elastic limit unbraced length ($L_r$). Mode-compatible initial imperfection shapes should be taken into account in the design and analysis stages of the I-beam to properly estimate the geometric imperfection influence on the $P_{cr}$ load. Sweep and sweep-twist imperfections led to 10% and 15% decrease in the $P_{cr}$ load, respectively, thus; well-estimated sweep and twist imperfections should considered in the LTB of doubly-symmetric steel I-beams.

  • Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, is a significant but neglected tropical public health issue in Latin America due to the diversity of its genotypes and pathogenic profiles. This complexity is compounded by the adverse effects of current treatments, underscoring the need for new therapeutic options that employ medicinal plant extracts without negative side effects. Our research aimed to evaluate the trypanocidal activity of Bidens pilosa fractions against epimastigote and trypomastigote stages of T. cruzi, specifically targeting the Brener and Nuevo León strains-the latter isolated from Triatoma gerstaeckeri in General Terán, Nuevo León, México. We processed the plant's aerial parts (stems, leaves, and flowers) to obtain a methanolic extract (Bp-mOH) and fractions with varying solvent polarities. These preparations inhibited more than 90% of growth at concentrations as low as 800 ㎍/ml for both parasite stages. The median lethal concentration (LC50) values for the Bp-mOH extract and its fractions were below 500 ㎍/ml. Tests for cytotoxicity using Artemia salina and Vero cells and hemolytic activity assays for the extract and its fractions yielded negative results. The methanol fraction (BPFC3MOH1) exhibited superior inhibitory activity. Its functional groups, identified as phenols, enols, alkaloids, carbohydrates, and proteins, include compounds such as 2-hydroxy-3-methylbenzaldehyde (50.9%), pentadecyl prop-2-enoate (22.1%), and linalool (15.4%). Eight compounds were identified, with a match confirmed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST-MS) software through mass spectrometry analysis.

  • 진동 충격음 흡수성능을 지니는 샌드위치구조 목질 복합재료 제조용 폴리머는 넓은 온도범위(또는 주파수 범위)에서 높은 손실계수를 지니면서, 동시에 $5{\times}10^7\sim-10^9\;dyne/cm^2$의 탄성율을 지녀야 한다. 본실험에서는 이러한 점탄성 거동율 나타내는 고분자재료의 제조를 목적으로 에폭시 수지/아크릴 수지 상호침투망목고분자(IPNs)를 동시망목형성법으로 합성하였다. 고분자의 동적 점탄성은 Rheovibron을 사용하여 110Hz에서 측정하였으며, 복합체의 손실계수 및 동탄성 계수는 Rheovibron을 개조한 양단지지 강제 휨 진동법으로 주파수 110Hz에서 측정하였다. 동력학적 측정 결과, 손실탄성율의 최대값 온도 및 손실계수의 최대값 온도가 이동하고, 유리전이 영역이 확대되어, 이 IPNs계는 부분 상용계임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 70/30 및 50/50 조성의 Epikote871/P(n-BMA) IPNs는 넓은 온도 범위에서 비교적 높은 손실계수 및 적당한 탄성율을 나타냈다. 또한 이를 적층한 목질 복합체는 넓은 온도 범위에서 비교적 높은 진동흡수 계수를 나타냈다.

  • 본 논문에서는 함정 전투체계의 데이터 파일의 데이터 불일치가 발생했을 때 데이터 복구를 할 수 있도록 레코드 블록 데이터 파일 시스템(RDBS)의 설계 및 활용방안을 제안한다. 함정 전투체계는 다중화를 지원하기 위해 다수의 정보처리장치 저장소에 동일한 파일을 관리하고 있다. 하지만 일부 장비의 유지보수로 인한 사용불가 상태에서 운용하거나 사용자의 운용미숙으로 정보처리장치 간의 데이터 파일의 불일치가 발생할 수 있다. 기존 함정 전투체계는 데이터파일의 변경이력을 관리하지 않으므로 데이터 불일치가 발생했을 때, 가장 최신날짜 기준으로 데이터 파일을 동기화를 진행하였다. 그러나 가장 최신 날짜의 데이터파일이 신뢰도가 가장 높다고 보기 어려우며, 한번 파일동기화가 진행된 이후에는 동기화 이전 데이터로 복구할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서 제안한 RDBS를 활용하여 레코드 블록 단위로 데이터를 저장 및 동기화 하였으며, 레코드 블록 관리로 인한 파일동기화에 발생하는 오버헤드를 줄이기 위해 Rsync알고리즘을 활용하였다. RDBS를 적용한 SW를 모의환경에서 성능시험을 하였으며, 정상 동작확인을 통해 함정 전투체계에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.
