Metal-Induced Crystallization (MIC) of amorphous silicon (a-Si) using aluminum and nickel as catalysts were performed with a variation of metal thickness and temperature. Raman results showed that the crystallization of a-Si depended on the thickness of aluminum while not on nickel. Nickel that forms silicide nodules during annealing simply catalyzed the formation of crystalline silicon (c-Si) while aluminum was consumed and transferred during MIC, which resulted in more complex microstructural characteristics. Crystalline silicons after NIC had elongated shape with a twin along the long axis. Morphological change after Aluminum-Induced Crystallization (AIC) showed more equiaxial grains. The nucleation and growth mechanism of AIC was discussed.

The effects of the magnetic property variation on current-induced magnetization switching in magnetic tunnel junction with perpendicular magnetic anistoropy (PMA) and the soft magnetic polarization-enhancement layers (PELs) inserted between the layers with PMA and the MgO layer was studied. A micromatnetic model was used to estimate the switching time of the free layer by different applied current densities, with changing saturation magnetization ($M_s$) of the PELs, interlayer exchange coupling between PMA layers and PELs. The switching time could be significantly reduced at low current densities, by increasing $M_s$ of PELs and decreasing interlayer exchange coupling.

앵커가 보강된 비탈면에 활동이 발생한 경우에는 활동면을 따라 전단면에 전단응력과 휨 응력이 작용하게 되고, 전단변형의 증가는 앵커의 긴장력 변화를 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 전단에 따른 앵커의 긴장력 변화를 확인하기 위해 앵커의 수직방향으로 전단변형을 유발하여 앵커의 긴장력을 측정하는 방법으로 대형 직접전단시험기를 통해 전단시험을 수행하였다. 전단시험은 앵커 설치 유무, 정착부에서 전단면까지의 이격거리(1D, 2D, 4D) 및 측압(0.1MPa, 0.2MPa)을 변수로 총 8가지 조건에 대해 시험을 실시하였다. 전단시험 결과, 이격거리와 주변지반의 측압은 앵커가 설치된 모형 지반의 전단력 및 앵커의 긴장력에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 전단력 변화는 앵커 두부 및 선단부의 축력변화와 관련이 있음을 규명하였다. 따라서 앵커 두부에서의 긴장력 변화 경향을 분석함으로써, 간접적으로 앵커 정착부에서의 전단변형에 따른 거동을 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

There has been a sustained interest towards the non-contact structural displacement measurement by means of videogrammetric technique. On the way forward, one of the major concerns is the spurious image drift induced by temperature variation. This study therefore carries out an investigation into the temperature effect of videogrammetric technique, focusing on the exploration of the mechanism behind the temperature effect and the elimination of the temperature-caused measurement error. 2D videogrammetric measurement tests under monotonic or cyclic temperature variation are first performed. Features of measurement error and the casual relationship between temperature variation and measurement error are then studied. The variation of the temperature of digital camera is identified as the main cause of measurement error. An excellent linear relationship between them is revealed. After that, camera parameters are extracted from the mapping between world coordinates and pixels coordinates of the calibration targets. The coordinates of principle point and focal lengths show variations well correlated with temperature variation. The measurement error is thought to be an outcome mainly attributed to the variation of the coordinates of principle point. An approach for eliminating temperature-caused measurement error is finally proposed. Correlation models between camera parameters and temperature are formulated. Thereby, camera parameters under different temperature conditions can be predicted and the camera projective matrix can be updated accordingly. By reconstructing the world coordinates with the updated camera projective matrix, the temperature-caused measurement error is eliminated. A satisfactory performance has been achieved by the proposed approach in eliminating the temperature-caused measurement error.

Culture pH change has some important roles in signal transduction and secondary metabolism. We have already reported that acidic pH shock enhanced actinorhodin production in Streptomyces coelicolor. Among many potential governing factors on pH variation, the putative $Na^+/H^+$ antiporter (sha) genes in S. coelicolor have been investigated in this study to elucidate the association of the sha on pH variation and secondary metabolism. Through the transcriptional analysis and overexpression experiments on 8 sha genes, we observed that most of the sha expressions were promoted by pH shock, and in the opposite way the pH changes and actinorhodin production were enhanced by the overexpression of each sha. We also confirmed that sha8 especially has a main role in maintaining cell viability and pH homeostasis through $Na^+$ extrusion, in salt effect experiment under the alkaline medium condition by deleting sha8. Moreover, this gene was observed to have a function of pH recovery after pH variation such as the pH shock, being able to cause the sporulation. However, actinorhodin production was not induced by the only pH recovery. The sha8 gene could confer on the host cell the ability to recover pH to the neutral level after pH variation like a pH drop. Sporulation was closely associated with this pH recovery caused by the action of sha8, whereas actinorhodin production was not due to such pH variation patterns alone.

Brake-induced vibrations of a vehicle such as brake judder are determined by the excitation of brake torque variations and by their transfer to the driver's contact points via suspension, body and steering system. The formation of brake torque variation is mainly determined by static and dynamic disk thickness variations. The vibration transfer from the excitation by brake torque variation to the perception by the driver depends on the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of the components in the transfer path. Optimization of the judder performance can be achieved either by minimizing the excitation or by reduction of the judder sensitivity of the vehicle. In this paper, the optimization process of a front rotor is suggested to reduce brake judder considering the cooling performance of the rotor, the judder sensitivity of the vehicle and durability of the rotor.

담수시 저수되는 수압에 의해 face slab con'c 내부의 응력변화가 발생하여 댐 제체의 안정성에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있으므로 face slab con'c의 내부 응력변화를 측정하기 위하여 매립형 strain gauge가 많이 적용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 ${\circ}{\circ}$댐에 적용된 strain gauge를 이용하여 댐 제체 내 외부 변형을 측정하였다. 그 결과 댐의 안정성 분석과 전체적인 경향을 파악함에 있어서 strain gauge의 계측 값만으로는 한계가 있으므로 관련 계기의 측정값을 함께 검토해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

To investigate the effect of the frequently used anti-obese medicine GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1 (GGT1), in food intake, body weight and food efficiency ratio for high fat diet induced obese male rats. Also, to value the diffences between GyeogshinhaeGihwan 1 and FDA approved Sibutramine in anti-obesity effect. High fat diet induced obese male rats were classified into four groups - positive control group, negative control group, GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1 group and Sibutramine group - and their food intake and body weight were observed for eight weeks. Anti-obesity effect was estimated with food efficiency ratio which is calculated by weight inclose divided by food intake. The result shown in Fig. 2 suggests that the GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1 group is more effective on food intake control than the Sibutramine group. Average weight variation shows an increase in both positive/negative control group and medication group. Also, the result in Fig. 3 indicates that average food efficiency ratio decreases contrary to the average weight variation. In addition, repeatedly estimated variance analysis on average food efficiency ratio of the GyeonushinhaeGihwan 1 group shows (1) the result corollary to the time of observation of food efficiency ratio was effective under 0.05 variance (P-value 0.000). The differences between each groups were not shown under 0.05 variance. Compared to the control group, medication groups were visually more effective on food intake control. Although both groups had a tendency of weight increasing, food efficiency ratio considering food intake and weight variation rate showed a decrease. Especially, the medication group variated less than the control group corollary to the point of time, proving the individuals react less sensitive to the medicine. Moreover, there were no differences in the anti-obesity effect between GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1 group and Sibutramine group studied by repeatedly estimating variance analysis(P-value: 0.610). When considering Sibutramine as an anti-obesity medicine approved by FDA, the point of being classifed in the same group proves the effect of GyeongshinhaeGihwan 1 as an anti-obesity medicine.

This research investigated variation in the improvement of the texture of chicken and pork sausages induced by microbial transglutaminase (MTG). The extractability of myofibrillar proteins from these sausages as well as the ${\varepsilon}-({\gamma}-glutamyl)$lysine (G-L)　content were also investigated. MTG treatment of sausages significantly increased the breaking strength values in both meat types, especially for samples incubated at $40^{\circ}C$. However, values of the breaking strength in both meat types were increased differently. The variation in protein extractability of samples incubated at $40^{\circ}C$ for both meat types could lead to some consideration of the mechanisms and the high accessions of myosin heavy chain (MHC) to MTG. SDS-PAGE analysis showed significant changes in the density of the bands after adding MTG, especially for the pork samples in which the bands disappeared totally. The G-L content in the presence of MTG was double that in control samples of both meat types. This study suggests that the binding ability of myofibrillar proteins with MTG is strong. This leads us to suggest that MTG functions positively with different improvements in the texture of chicken and pork products that are treated mechanically, such as sausages. Variability in gel improvement level between chicken and pork sausages was observed; this resulted from the variation in meat proteins in response to MTG, as well as to the original glutamyl and lysine content.

본 연구는 UHPCC (Ultra High Performance Cementitious Composites)에서 섬유배열 유도의 효율성을 평가하기 위한 연구의 일환으로, 흐름특성을 달리한 다양한 방법으로 UHPCC 부재를 제작하여 휨거동의 변화를 비교하고, 섬유 배열특성과의 상관관계를 정성적으로 분석하였다. 실험을 통해 섬유배열 유도방법에 따라 휨거동의 차이가 크게 나타남을 확인하였다. 일반적인 휨실험체 제작방법으로, 섬유가 주인장방향으로 배열되도록 유도한 경우가 다른 방법으로 제작된 휨실험체에 비해 더 높은 휨인장강도와 낮은 변동성을 보였다. 따라서 실제 UHPCC 부재에서의 재료의 휨인장강도는 실험실 수준에서 측정한 휨인장강도와 비교하여 크게 다를 수 있고, 변동성도 더 크게 나타날 수 있음을 반드시 고려해야 할 것이다. 한편, UHPCC의 유동흐름에 따른 섬유의 배열특성의 변화를 흐름의 종류 및 경계면 효과를 고려하여 정성적으로 예측하였으며, 이러한 예측결과는 실험에서 여러 가지 형태로 유도된 유동흐름에 따른 휨인장거동의 변화를 잘 설명하였다.
