Coffee (Coffea spp.) is one of the most important agricultural commodities, being widely consumed in the world. Various beneficial health effects of coffee have been extensively investigated, but data on habitual coffee consumption and its bio-physiological effect have not been clearly explained as well as it is not proved the cause and effect between drinking coffee and its bio-physiological reactions. We made the dialyzed coffee extract (DCE), which is absorbable through gastrointestinal tract, in order to elucidate the cellular effect of whole small coffee molecules. RAW 264.7 cells, a murine macrophage lineage, were directly treated with DCE, i.e., DCE-2.5 (equivalent to 2.5 cups of coffee a day), DCE-5, and DCE-10, for 12 hours, and their protein extracts were examined by immunoprecipitation high performance liquid chromatography (IP-HPLC). RAW 264.7 cells differently expressed the inflammation-related proteins depending on the doses of DCE. RAW 264.7 cells treated with DCE showed marked increase of cathepsin C, cathepsin G, CD20, CD28, CD31, CD68, indicating the activation of innate immunity. Particularly, the macrophage biomarkers, cathepsin G, cathepsin C, CD31, and CD68 were markedly increased after DCE-5 and DCE-10 treatments, and the lymphocyte biomarkers, CD20 and CD28 were consistently increased and became marked after DCE-10 treatment. On the other hand, RAW 264.7 cells treated with DCE showed consistent increase of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory factor, but gradual decreases of different pro-inflammatory proteins including $TNF{\alpha}$, COX-2, lysozyme, MMP-2, and MMP-3. In particular, the cellular signaling of inflammation was gradually mitigated by the reduction of $TNF{\alpha}$, COX-2, IL-12, and M-CSF, and also the matrix inflammatory reaction was reduced by marked deceases of MMP-2, MMP-3, and lysozyme. These anti-inflammatory expressions were consistently found until DCE-10 treatment. Therefore, it is presumed that DCE may have dynamic effects of innate immunity activation and pro-inflammation suppression on RAW264.7 cells simultaneously. These effects were consistently found in the highest dose of coffee, DCE-10 (equivalent to 10 cups of coffee a day in man), that might imply the small coffee molecules were accumulated in RAW 264.7 cells after DCE-10 treatment and produce synergistic cytokine effects for innate immunity activation and anti-inflammatory reaction concurrently.

Aerodynamic configurations of bridge decks have significant effects on the aerostatic torsional divergence and flutter forsuper long-span bridges, which are onset for selection of suitable bridge decksfor those bridges. Based on a cable-stayed bridge with double main spans of 1500 m, considering typical twin-box, stiffening truss and closed-box section, which are the most commonly used form of bridge decks and assumed that the rigidity of those section is completely equivalent, are utilized to investigate the effects of aerodynamic configurations of bridge decks on aerodynamic instability performance comprised of the aerostatic torsional divergence and flutter, by means of wind tunnel tests and numerical calculations, including three-dimensional (3D) multimode flutter analysis and nonlinear aerostatic analysis. Regarding the aerostatic torsional divergence, the results obtained in this study show twin-box section is the best, closed-box section the second-best, and the stiffening truss section the worst. Regarding the flutter, the flutter stability of the twin-box section is far better than that of the stiffening truss and closed-box section. Furthermore, wind-resistance design depends on the torsional divergence for the twin-box and stiffening truss section. However, there are obvious competitive relationships between the aerostatic torsional divergence and flutter for the closed-box section. Flutter occur before aerostatic instability at initial attack angle of $+3^{\circ}$ and $0^{\circ}$, while the aerostatic torsional divergence occur before flutter at initial attack angle of $-3^{\circ}$. The twin-box section is the best in terms of both aerostatic and flutter stability among those bridge decks. Then mechanisms of aerostatic torsional divergence are revealed by tracking the cable forces synchronous with deformation of the bridge decksin the instability process. It was also found that the onset wind velocities of these bridge decks are very similar at attack angle of $-3^{\circ}$. This indicatesthat a stable triangular structure made up of the cable planes, the tower, and the bridge deck greatly improves the aerostatic stability of the structure, while the aerodynamic effects associated with the aerodynamic configurations of the bridge decks have little effects on the aerostatic stability at initial attack angle of $-3^{\circ}$. In addition, instability patterns of the bridge depend on both the initial attack angles and aerodynamic configurations of the bridge decks. This study is helpful in determining bridge decksfor super long-span bridges in future.

This paper investigates the effects of soaking on a lime stabilized high plasticity clay and evaluates the implications for pavement design. In this context, the soil was stabilized by 4%, 6% and 9% hydrated lime. The soil was pulverized in two different gradations so that representative field gradations could be simulated. Both soil pulverization levels passed the relevant field gradation criteria. Curing durations were chosen as 7 days, 28 days and 56 days. Two groups of samples were prepared and were tested in unconfined compression test apparatus to measure the strength and secant modulus at failure values. One of the groups was tested immediately after curing. The other group of samples were first cured and then subjected to soaking for ten days before testing. Visual observations were made on the samples during the soaking period. The results showed the superiority of fine soil pulverization over coarse soil pulverization for unsoaked conditions in terms of strength and modulus values. Soaking of the samples affected the unconfined compressive strength and modulus values based on lime content, curing duration and soil pulverization level. In soaked samples, fine soil pulverization resulted in higher strength and modulus values compared to coarse soil pulverization. However, even with fine soil pulverization, effects of soaking on modulus values were more significant. A new term named as "Soaking Influence Factor (SIF)" was defined to compare the reduction in strength and modulus due to soaking. The data was compared with the relevant design guidelines and an attempt was made to include Soaking Influence Factors for strength and modulus (SIFS and SIFM) into pavement design processes. Two equations which correlated secant modulus at failure to unconfined compressive strength were proposed based on the samples subjected to soaking. The results of this study showed that in order to decrease the diverse effects of soaking for lime stabilized soils, soil pulverization level should be kept as fine as possible in the field. Importance of proper drainage precautions in the pavements is highlighted for better performance of the pavements.

시멘트의 주 원료인 시멘트 클링커는 주원료로서 석회석을 사용하여 제조되며, 석회석의 품위에 따라 부원료의 사용이 변화되고, 시멘트 클링커의 생산에도 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트 클링커 원료인 석회석의 CaO 함량의 변화가 Raw Mill 분쇄성과 시멘트 클링커의 소성성에 미치는 영향성을 파악하기 위하여, 석회석 CaO 함량을 변화시킨 조합원료의 분쇄시간 측정으로 분쇄성을 비교 검토하였고, 분쇄된 조합원료를 1350~1500℃의 범위에서 소성하여 소성성 지수 계산에 의한 시멘트 클링커의 소성성을 파악하였다. 석회석의 품위가 낮을수록 조합원료의 분쇄성은 저하하였고, 석회석의 CaO 함량이 낮을수록 소성온도에 따른 F-CaO의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 그에 따라 높은 B.I. 값이 계산되어, 낮은 시멘트 클링커 소성성을 나타내었다. 또한, 시멘트 클링커의 광물분석 결과에서는 소성온도의 증가로 F-CaO 값이 저하하는 경우, Belite 함량의 감소와 그에 따른 Alite 함량의 증가가 관찰되었다. Alite의 경우 석회석 CaO 함량이 증가함에 따라 R형의 비율은 감소하고 M형의 비율이 증가하였다.

영역 만족도와 삶의 만족도의 상관관계에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 다양한 영역 만족도를 종합적으로 고려하여 개별 영역 만족도가 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감 각각에 미치는 영향력을 살펴본 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 게다가 관련 연구들은 대부분 서구 문화권에서 진행되어 왔으며 문화비교 연구는 많이 이뤄지지 않았다. 이에 본 연구에서는 각 영역 만족도(건강한 라이프스타일, 가족관계, 외모, 재정상황, 학업 성적에 대한 만족도)가 개인의 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감과 어떤 관계를 가지는지 살펴봄과 동시에, 문화별로 어떤 특정 영역이 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 더 잘 예측하는지 한국과 캐나다 두 문화권의 대학생 참가자들을 대상으로 알아보았다. 그 결과, 두 문화에서 다섯 영역의 만족도는 삶의 만족도 및 정서적 안녕감과 정적 상관관계를 보였다. 흥미롭게도, 다섯 영역을 종합적으로 고려했을 때, 문화별로 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 예측하는 가장 중요한 요인들에 차이가 있었다. 한국인의 경우 건강한 라이프스타일이 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감을 가장 잘 설명하는 요인으로 나타났다. 반면, 유럽계 캐나다인의 경우 외모 만족도가 삶의 만족도와 정서적 안녕감 모두를 예측하는 가장 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며, 다음으로는 건강한 라이프스타일 만족도가 행복 요소들을 가장 잘 설명하였다. 본 연구 결과는 개인의 주관적 안녕감의 예측에 있어, 문화 공통적으로 영향을 끼치는 삶의 영역이 있으며, 더불어 문화의 특성에 따라 더 좋은 예측력을 가지는 삶의 영역도 있음을 보여준다.

Objective: Hyperketonemia remains a major metabolic issue of serious milk production and a major health concern in early lactation cows. Oral supplementation of glucose precursors (GP) can be used to prevent hyperketonemia in dairy cows. The objective of this study was to compare the beneficial effects of orally supplementing a mixture of GP on metabolic health indicators and milk production status of primiparous (PP) and multiparous (MP) dairy cows. Methods: Twenty-eight Holstein cows were blocked by expected date of parturition, previous lactation yield, and parity. The cows were randomly allocated to one of the four treatment groups (n = 7 cows/group) based on their parity and GP supplementation: i) PP cows fed basal diet only (PP-CON), ii) PP cows with oral supplementation of GP (PP-GP), iii) MP cows fed basal diet only (MP-CON), and iv) MP cows with oral supplementation of GP (MP-GP). Glucose precursor (glycoline liquid) was orally drenched (300 mL/d) in GP cows from 7 days prepartum through 7 days postpartum. Other than GP supplementation, all cows were fed similar pre- and postpartum basal diets. Results: In both pre- and postpartum periods, serum glucose concentration was increased, whereas β-hydroxybutyrate and free fatty acids were decreased in GP cows compared with the CON cows. Milk yield and milk components were statistically not different between GP and CON cows over the first 9 week of lactation. The yield of actual milk, energy-corrected milk, 63-days cumulative milk, colostrum yield, and calf birth weight remained higher in MP cows compared with PP cows. Conclusion: Oral drenching of GP around calving can be recommended to successfully improve the metabolic health and reduce the negative effects of hyperketonemia not only in MP but also in PP dairy cows.

Leaf discs and apical meristems were cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with cytokinin and auxin at different concentrations. Callus production was observed in all tested media after six days of incubation. Callus produced in the presence of high concentration of NAA (2.0mg/1) was fragile in texture and yellow in colour. Highest callus formation was observed from leaf discs in the medium supplemented with 1.0mg/1 NAA and 0.5 mg/l BAP in dark at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Percentage of callus formation was 95% and mean callus fresh weight was 654.88 43.53 mg. Shoots were induced from the callus after 4 weeks in 1/2MS medium supplemented with BAP and kinetin both at 0.5mg/1. When elongated shoots were separated and transferred into multiplication medium (MS+0.5mg/1 BAP+0.5mg/1 kinetin) multiplication rate was 6.4 after 6 weeks. Higher concentrations of BAP caused callus production at the base. Direct shoot induction was observed from apical meristems in MS medium in the presence of 0.175 mg/1 IAA + 2.25mg/1 BAP and 0.175 mg/1 IAA + 3.0 mg/1 BAP in 16 hour day at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Explants (apical meristems) elongated to form a single shoot forming a callus at the base. Adventitious buds were sprouted out from the base. Percentage explants which producing shoots was 28.57 and 65.5 respectively. Multiple shoot induction was also observed in the same media. Highest multiple shoot production was observed in the presence of 0.175 mg/l IAA and 3.0mg/l BAP, Mean number of shoots per explant was 5.36 and the mean shoot length was $16.66{\pm}4.15$mm. Shoots (20 30m length) were tested for root induction. Excised shoots were transferred into rooting media, which contains different concentrations of NAA and IAA. Best rooting performance was observed in 1/2MS medium supplemented with 0.1mg/1 NAA after 10 days of incubation in 16 hr photoperiod at $25{\pm}1{\circ}C$. Mean number of roots per shoot was 6 and the mean root length was 252mm. Rooted plantlets were transferred into sterile coir dust:sand (1:4) mixture and maintained in a humid chamber for two weeks, They were gradually exposed to the natural environment. After three weeks they were transferred to pots containing coir dust:sand (1:2) mixture for further development where the 90% survival was observed.

최근 투명 디스플레이 및 유연 소자의 활용도가 증가함에 따라 우수한 유연성과 강성을 갖는 폴리머 소재 기판의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그러나 폴리머는 열에 취약하여 공정 중 온도 및 열 제어가 필수적이다. 이러한 폴리머 기판 활용의 단점을 해결하기 위해 본 연구에서는 레이저 기반의 선택적 가공 기술에 적용할 수 있는 폴리머 기판 내 레이저 가공영역의 온도 측정 시스템을 제안한다. 레이저 가공 영역의 국부적인 온도 변화 측정을 통해 폴리머 기판의 공정 조건을 최적화하는 가능성을 제시한다. 이를 위해 플랑크 흑체 복사 원리를 기반으로 한 PDPT(Photodiode based Planck Thermometry)를 설계 및 제작하여 레이저가 입사되는 영역의 온도를 측정하였다. PDPT는 비파괴/비접촉식 온도측정 시스템으로, 레이저가 입사되는 국부적인 온도 상승을 실시간으로 측정할 수 있다. 해당 시스템을 활용하여 폴리머 기판의 레이저 가공 공정에서 발생하는 가공영역의 온도 변화를 관측하였다. 본 연구 결과, 제안된 레이저 기반 온도측정 기술은 레이저 가공 공정 중 실시간 온도 측정이 가능하며, 이를 통해 최적의 생산 조건을 확립할 가능성을 보여주고 있다. 또한, 해당 기술은 열 제어가 필수적인 미세 레이저 가공 및 3차원 프린팅과 같은 다양한 레이저 기반 공정에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
