This paper deals with a design problem of simulation for MIME (multi indenture and multi echelon) with lateral transshipment. Especially, we consider lateral transshipments in case that (S-1, S) ordering policy is used in multi echelon repair system. Some rules for ordering spare parts in lateral transshipments between the lowest-level units are studied and are implemented by an activity diagram in object-oriented method. By numerical examples, we compare regular (S-1, S) ordering policy and (S-1, S) policy with lateral transshipment.

In this paper, we prepared new type of hydrophilic block copolymers that exhibit the long-ranged lateral ordering in thin film. It was previously demonstrated that poly(ethyleneoxide-b-styrene) and poly(ethyleneoxide-b-metharylate-b-styrene) block copolymer thin films have a high degree of lateral ordering after solvent annealing process. In these cases, the relative humidity plays an important role in long-ranged lateral ordering. However, the origin of the humidity effect on the orders of these hydrophilic block copolymers is not fully understood. To investigate the effect of the humidity further, we prepared other hydrophilic poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide-b-styrene)(PDMA-b-PS) block copolymers via RAFT polymerization. As with PEO-containing block copolymers, PDMA-b-PS block copolymers exhibit the long-ranged lateral ordering after solvent annealing process.

The optical properties of InP/GaP short-period superlattice (SPS) structures grown at various temperatures from $400^{\circ}C$ to $490^{\circ}C$ have been investigated by using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and emission wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL measurements. The PL peak energy for SPS samples decreases as the growth temperature increases. The decreased PL energy of ~10 meV for the sample grown at $425^{\circ}C$ compared to that for $400^{\circ}C$-grown sample is due to the CuPt-B type ordering, while the SPS samples grown at $460^{\circ}C$ and $490^{\circ}C$ exhibit the significant reduction of the PL peak energies due to the combined effects of the formation of lateral composition modulation (LCM) and CuPt-B type ordering. The SPS samples with LCM structure show the enhanced carrier lifetime due to the spatial separation of carriers. This study represents that the bandgap energy of InP/GaP SPS structures can be controlled by varying growth temperature, leading to LCM formation and CuPt-B type ordering.

There is the uncertainty of demands at each retailer in the supply chain. To satisfy customers' demand, retailer must have enough inventory. Nevertheless, stockout is occurred for some retailers. A lateral transshipment policy can be effectively used to deal with stockout. The new lateral transshipment policy, referred to service level adjustment (SLA), is suggested. The difference between SLA and previous policies is the integration of an emergency lateral 'transshipment with a preventive lateral transshipment to efficiently respond customers' demand in the proposed policy. Additionally, the service level to decide the quantity of products is considered. Simulation experiment is executed to treat stochastic factors in the two-echelon supply chain. The proposed policy can reduce total cost and is more effective to the change of demand, penalty cost, and ordering cost than the currently used policies.

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1, 6-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to investigate the effects of barbiturates on the fluidity of model membranes of phosphatidycholine (SPMVPC), phosphatidylserine (SPMVPS), and phosphatidylinositol (SPMVPI) fractions of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV) isolated from bovine cerebral cortex. In a dose-dependent manner, barbiturates decreased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I'/I) of Py-3-Py and increased the anisotropy(r), rotational relaxation time (P), limiting anisotropy $(r_infty)$, and order parameter (S) of DPH in SPMVPC, SPMVPS and SPMVPI. This indicates that barbiturates decreased both the lateral and rotational diffusion of the probes in SPMVPC, SPMVPS and SPMVPI. The relative potencies of barbiturates in ordering the membranes were in the order: pentobarbital > hexobarbital > amobarbital > phenobarbital. This order correlates well with the anesthetic potencies of barbiturates and the potencies for enhancement of $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid-stimulated chloride uptake. Thus, it is strongly suggested that a close relationship might exist between the membrane ordering effects of barbiturates and the chloride fluxes across SPMV.

Objective: To investigate the clinical application of differential subsampling with Cartesian ordering (DISCO) contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance angiography for anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap transplantation, using operative findings as a reference. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients (21 males and nine females; mean age ± standard deviation, 45.5 ± 15.6 years) who were scheduled to undergo reconstruction with ALT flaps between June 2020 and June 2021 were included in the prospective study. Before ALT flap transplantation, patients were scanned using CE-DISCO imaging. All acquired DISCO images of the 60 lower limbs (both sides from each patient) were analyzed using maximum intensity projection and volume rendering methods. Two experienced radiologists were employed to examine the patterns of the lateral circumflex femoral artery (LCFA), its branches, and perforators and their skin termini, which were compared with the operative findings. Results: Using CE-DISCO, the patterns of the LCFA and its branches were clearly identified in all patients. Four different origins of the LCFA were found among the 60 blood vessels: type I (44/60, 73.3%), type II (6/60, 10.0%), type III (8/60, 13.3%), and type IV (2/60, 3.3%). Owing to a lack of perforators entering the skin, two patients did not undergo ALT flap transplantation. For the remaining 28 patients, the ALT flaps in 26 patients were successfully operated without flap reselection during the operation, while the remaining two patients underwent other surgical procedures due to the thin diameter of the perforator or injury of the perforator during the operation. The success rate of flap transplantation was 92.8% (26/28). All transplanted flaps exhibited good blood supply and achieved primary healing without infection or delayed healing. Conclusion: CE-DISCO imaging can be an effective method for preoperative perforator imaging before ALT flap transplantation.

Fluorescence probes located in different membrane regions were used to evaluate the effects of chlorpromazine HCl on structural parameters (transbilayer lateral mobility, annular lipid fluidity, protein distribution, and lipid bilayer thickness) of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMVs) isolated from bovine cerebral cortex. The experimental procedure was based on the selective quenching of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) by trinitrophenyl groups, radiationless energy transfer from the tryptophan of membrane proteins to Py-3-Py, and energy transfer from Py-3-Py monomers to 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid (ANS). In this study, chlorpromazine HCl decreased the lateral mobility of Py-3-Py in a concentration dependent-manner, showed a greater ordering effect on the inner monolayer than on the outer monolayer, decreased annular lipid fluidity in a dose dependent-manner, and contracted the membrane lipid bilayer. Furthermore, the drug was found to have a clustering effect on membrane proteins.

Time-of-flight impact-collision ion scattering spectroscopy (TOF-ICISS) was applied to study the geometrical structure of epitaxially grown MgO layers on a TiC(001). The hetero-epitaxial MgO layer was able to be deposited by thermal evaporation of magnesium onto the TiC(001) surface and subsequent exposure of oxygen at room temperature. A slight heating of the substrate at around $300^{\circ}C$ was necessary to overcome a thermal barrier for the ordering. The well-ordered MgO structure was confirmed with the 1$\times$1 LEED pattern. TOF-ICISS was useful in studying interface structure between oxide and substrate. The results revealed that the MgO layer is formed at the on-top sites of the TiC(001) substrate and the lateral lattice constant of MgO layer is the same as that of the TiC substrate. The MgO was deposited within two layers on the most parts of the surface.

The structure of current guides is largely illogical and without any rational use of color ordering. The shade guides are generally made of plastic (rather than the actual composite material) and do not accurately depict the true shade. translucency. or opacity of the composite resin after polymerization. To solve this problem, information based on evaluations of natural teeth and material that use the same method and experimental conditions is necessary. The present investigation measured the color of natural maxillary anterior teeth in vivo and compared the results with those of composite resins. 269 Korean subjects were selected for this study. Intact central incisor. lateral incisor. and canine were selected. The clinical crowns were free of caries or restorations. The middle site of the coronal portion on the labial surface of the tooth was measured by Chroma Meter. The five light activated. resin-based materials (Amelogen, Denfil, Elitefil, Spectrum, Z100) were used in this study. Resin composite was condensed into plastic mold with a diameter of 8mm and a thickness of 4mm. pressed between glass plates to flatten the surfaces. and polymerized using a Visilux II visible light activation unit. The surfaces were polished sequentially on wet sandpaper. Color measurements of each specimen were accomplished by Chroma Meter. A computer program that compares each tooth color with each composite resin color was written and the minimum CIELAB color difference ($\Delta$E$^*$) between tooth and each material was calculated. Under the conditions of this study: 1. Teeth tend to become darker with advancing age. 2. Canines were darker. more yellow. and less green than incisors. 3. The teeth from the women were lighter. more green. and less yellow than the male teeth. 4. In general. composite resins were lighter. more green. and less yellow than teeth. Deficiencies were noted in Hues in YR range. 5. Mean color differences between the five composite resin products and teeth were detectable to the naked eye($\Delta$E$^*$>1.0). 6. In comparing the mean $\Delta$E$^*$ values of materials. Spectrum showed the least followed by Z100, Elitefil, Amelogen, Denfil in increasing order.

초격자는 동종의 III-V 삼원 합금층을 성장하는 동안 스피노달 분해(spinodal decomposition)로 인한 원자배열(atomic ordering)과 상분리phase separation)에 의해서 발생하는데 MBE (molecular beam epitaxy)과 MOVPE (metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy)를 이용하여 성장시킬 때 주로 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 성장온도에 따른 InP/GaP SPS (short-period superlattices) 구조의 광학적 특성 변화를 시료의 온도와 여기광의 세기를 이용하여 분석하였다. 시료는 MBE 장비를 이용하여 성장하였으며, SPS층은 659쌍의 GaP(2.9 ${\AA}$)과 InP(3.1 ${\AA}$)로 이루어져 있고, GaP 층을 처음에 증착한 뒤, InP 층을 증착 하였다. 성장시 온도를 $400^{\circ}C$, $425^{\circ}C$, $460^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $490^{\circ}C$로 변화를 주어 성장하였다. 이들 시료를 GT400, GT425, GT460 그리고 GT490이라 하였고 이에 대한 광학적 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 10 K에서 PL 피크는 GT400 시료는 634 nm, GT425 시료는 636 nm, GT460 시료는 680nm, 그리고 GT490 시료는 692 nm에서 나타났으며, GT425 시료의 PL 세기가 가장 강하게 나타나고 GT400 시료의 PL 세기가 가장 약하게 나타났다. 그러나 260 K에서 PL 세기는 GT460 시료가 가장 강하게 나타나고 GT425 시료가 가장 약하게 나타났다. 성장온도가 증가함에 따라 밴드갭이 감소하는 것은 특정 성장온도($460^{\circ}C$) 이상에서 LCM (lateral composition modulation)이 형성되는 것으로 설명할 수 있다. GT400 시료와 GT425 시료의 PL 피크가 1.94 eV와 1.95 eV로 비슷하고, GT460 시료와 GT490 시료의 PL 피크가 1.82 eV과 1.79 eV로 비슷하게 나타난 것은 $460^{\circ}C$이상에서 성장한 시료에서 LCM 구조 형성으로 설명할 수 있다.
