A simple constitutive model for viscoelastic suspensions is discussed in this paper. The model can be used to predict the rheological properties (relative viscosity and all stresses) for viscoelastic suspensions in shear and elongational flow, and the constitutive equations combine a 'viscoelastic' behaviour component and a 'Newtonian' behaviour component. As expected, the model gives a prediction of positive first normal stress difference and negative second normal stress difference; the dimensionless first normal stress difference strongly depends on the shear rate and decreases with the volume fraction of solid phase, but the dimensionless second normal stress difference (in magnitude) is nearly independent of the shear rate and increases with the volume fraction. The relative viscosities and all the stresses have been tested against available experimental measurements.

물을 반응매체로 하고 스티렌과 부틸메타크릴레이트 (BMA)를 단량체로 하여 $65^{\circ}C$에서 $95^{\circ}C$ 사이의 선택된 온도에서 현탁중합을 실시하였다. 소수성 실리카를 안정제로, azobisisobutyronirile (AIBN)을 개시제로 선택하였다. 안정제의 최적 분산은 pH 10에서 이루어졌으며 반응은 pH 7에서 진행하였다. TGA 및 EDS 측정으로 사용한 실리카의 90%는 안정제로 10%는 입자 내로 유입되는 것으로 분석되었다. 안정제의 농도가 증가할수록 평균입경은 감소하였다. 분자량은 안정제의 농도가 1.67 wt%에 이르며 증가하였다. 개시제의 농도 및/혹은 반응온도의 상승에 따라 반응속도는 증가하였으나 분자량은 감소하였다. 입자의 입경은 개시제의 농도 및 반응온도에 거의 무관하였다. BMA의 비가 증가하면서 유리전이온도는 감소하였으며 불규칙한 형상의 입자가 증가하였다. 카본블랙을 함유하는 스티렌/BMA의 중합반응은 반응완료에 보다 많은 시간이 소요되었다. 소수성 실리카를 안정제로 하는 현탁중합반응을 이용하여 카본블랙을 함유하는 평균입경이 $1-30{\mu}m$의 구형 폴리(스티렌-BMA) 공중합체 복합체 입자를 합성할 수 있다는 사실을 확인하였다.

The Present study was conducted to investigate the effects of Ginseng extract on the tension-area curve for stearic acid monolayer. At the same time, the effects of Ginseng extract on osmotic and mechanical fragility of human red cells and histamine release from rabbit leukocytes were studied, The results are summarized as follows. 1. The Ginseng alcohol extract was found to expand liquid expanded phase of stearic acid monolayer, thus it is speculated that this agent may be acting as a surface active substance. 2. Osmotic hemolysis was inhibited by the Ginseng alcohol extract and the same effect was also observed in the presence of Ginseng saponin. However, the Ginseng alcohol extract was found to decrease hematocrit ratio of the RBC suspension, therefore, the inhibition of the osmotic hemolysis by this agent may be secondary effect to the reduced cell volume. 3. The mechanical hemolysis was also inhibited by the Ginseng alcohol extract but the inhibition was independent of changes in hematocrit ratio. 4. Histamine release from rabbit leukocytes was significantly increased in vitro in the presence of the Ginseng alcohol extract.(p<0.05)

The bi-modal tram guided by the magnetic guidance system has two car-bodies and three axles. Each axle of the vehicle has an independent suspension to lower the floor of the car and improve ride quality. The turning radius of the vehicle may increase as a consequence of the long wheel base. Therefore, the vehicle is equipped with the All-Wheel-Steering(AWS) system for safe driving on a curved road. Front and rear axles should be steered in opposite directions, which means a negative mode, to minimize the turning radius. On the other hand, they also should be steered in the same direction, which means a positive mode, for the stopping mode. Moreover, only the front axle is steered for stability of the vehicle upon high-speed driving. In summary, steering angles and directions of the each axle should be changed according to the driving environment and steering mode. This paper proposes an appropriate AWS control algorithm for stable driving of the bi-modal tram. Furthermore, a multi-body model of the vehicle is simulated to verify the suitability of the algorithm. This model can also analyze the different dynamic characteristics between 2WS and AWS.

The final reduction drive in tactical vehicles has a wear-pad that helps to maintain adequate end floating when the hub assay operates. The input axis and sun gear move repeatedly with the axis when tactical vehicle is operating. The hub assay is designed so that the wear pads won't seize during operation. Seizure of the wear pads during operation results in oil leakage. In our study, the fault mechanism was analyzed to prevent the seizure of the wear pads and an optimal design for the shape and material of the wear-pad was explored. We then observed the changes in temperature, shape, and material of several important parts.

The microstructure of highly aggregated colloidal dispersions was investigated by probing the rheological behavior of magnetic suspensions. The dynamic moduli as functions of frequency and strain amplitude are shown to closely resemble that of colloidal gels indicating the formation of network structure. The two types of characteristic critical strain amplitudes, γ_c and γ_y, were characterized in terms of the changing microstructure. The amplitude of γ_c indicates the transition from linear to nonlinear viscoelasticity and depends only on particle volume fraction not magnetic interactions. The study of scaling behavior suggests that it is related to the breakage of interfloc, i.e., floc-floc structure. However, yielding strain, γ_y, was found to be independent of particle volume fraction as well as magnetic interaction. It relates to extensive deformation resulting in yielding behavior. The scaling of elastic constant, G_e, implies that this yielding behavior and hence γ_y is due to the breakage of long-range interfloc interactions. Also, the deformation of flocs due to increase strain was indicated from the investigation of the fractal nature.

Peroxiredoxin 6 (PRDX6) is a bifunctional protein with both glutathione peroxidase and calcium-independent phospholipase activity. Recently, we reported that PRDX6 plays an important role in dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. However, the relationship between PRDX6 function and emotional behavior remains elusive. In the present study, we examined depression- and anxiety-like behaviors in PRDX6-overexpressing transgenic (PRDX6-Tg) mice using the forced swim test, tail suspension test, open field paradigm, and elevated plus-maze. PRDX6-Tg mice exhibited depression-like behaviors and low anxiety. In particular, female PRDX6-Tg mice exhibited anxiolytic behavior in the open field test. Furthermore, the serotonin content in the cortex and 5-hydroxytryptophan-induced head twitch response were both reduced in PRDX6-Tg mice. Interestingly, levels of dopa decarboxylase expression in the cortex were decreased in male PRDX6-Tg mice but not in female mice. Our findings provide novel insights into the role of PRDX6 in 5-HT synthesis and suggest that PRDX6 overexpression can induce depression-like behaviors via downregulation of the serotonergic neuronal system.

발효홍어(홍어회)에 존재하는 박테리아 집단의 다양성을 확인하기 위해, 박테리아의 16S rDNA 절편들을 증폭하고 클로닝하여 라이브러리를 구축하였다. 삽입 서열의 염기서열을 결정한 후, BLAST 분석에 의해 미생물 동정을 하였다. 동일한 삽입서열 빈도를 계산하였을 때, 발효홍어(홍어회)에는 uncultured bacterium clone 054E11.b가 57.1% 나타남으로써 우점균으로 존재하고 있다고 추정하였다. 또한 발효홍어(홍어회) 현탁액을 한천배지에 도말하여 형성된 집락을 콜로니 PCR을 수행하였을 때, Pseudomonas sp. KC-EPS13 등 12 종의 박테리아가 동정되었다. 배양 의존적 방법과 배양 비의존적 방법으로 홍어회를 분석하였을 때, Psychrobacter sp. J466만이 두 가지 방법에서 모두 검출되었고 나머지 박테리아들의 균총은 상이하였다.

세균갈색무늬병 병원균의 접종에 의해 심한 병징을 보이는 느타리 균주와 매우 약한 병징을 보이는 균주를 모균주로 선발하고, 각각의 모균주로부터 얻은 단핵균주의 교배를 통해 F1 교잡균주를 얻었다. 세균갈색무늬병 발병도가 다른 11개의 F1균주와 모균주의 자실체 표면의 소수성과 발병도를 조사하였다. 발병도와 소수성 사이의 상관계수는 2번의 독립된 실험에서 각각 0.68과 070이었다. 자실체의 발병도와 버섯재배사에서 조사한 발병율 사이의 상관계수는 각각 046과 0.52이었다. GFP을 발현시킨 Pseudomonas tolaasii을 자실체표면에 접종 후 공초점현미경으로 관찰한 결과 발병도가 낮은 균주의 자실체 표면에서보다 높은 균주의 자실체 표면에서 보다 많은 세균의 집단화가 관찰되었는데, 이 결과는 발병도가 높은 균주의 갓 표면에서 더많은 세균이 증식하였음을 의미한다. 이상의 결과는 느타리 자실체 표면의 소수성이 세균갈색무늬병 발병도에 영향을 미치는 것을 암시한다. 즉 세균현탁액 방울이 갓 표면에 오래 유지되면 더 심한 병징이 형성된다.
