  • Let R be a commutative ring and let M be an R-module. Let X = Spec(M) be the prime spectrum of M with Zariski topology. Our main purpose in this paper is to specify the topological dimensions of X, where X is a Noetherian topological space, and compare them with those of topological dimensions of $Supp_{R}$(M). Also we will give a characterization for the irreducibility of X and we obtain some related results.

  • Detoxifying enzymes are present in most epithelial cells of the human gastrointestinal tract where they protect against xenobiotics which may cause cancer. Induction of examples such as glutathione S-transferase (GST) and its thiol conjugate, glutathione (GSH) as well as NAD(P)H: quinoneoxidoreductase (NQO1) facilitate the excretion of carcinogens and thus preventing colon carcinogenesis. Pterostilbene, an analogue of resveratrol, has demonstrated numerous pharmacological activities linked with chemoprevention. This study was conducted to investigate the potential of pterostilbene as a chemopreventive agent using the HT-29 colon cancer cell line to study the modulation of GST and NQO1 activities as well as the GSH level. Initially, our group, established the optimum dose of 24 hours pterostilbene treatment using MTT assays. Then, effects of pterostilbene ($0-50{\mu}M$) on GST and NQO1 activity and GSH levels were determined using GST, NQO1 and Ellman assays, respectively. MTT assay of pterostilbene ($0-100{\mu}M$) showed no cytotoxicity toward the HT-29 cell line. Treatment increased GST activity in the cell line significantly (p<0.05) at 12.5 and $25.0{\mu}M$. In addition, treatment at $50{\mu}M$ increased the GSH level significantly (p<0.05). Pterostilbene also enhanced NQO1 activity significantly (p<0.05) at $12.5{\mu}M$ and $50{\mu}M$. Hence, pterostilbene is a potential chemopreventive agent capable of modulation of detoxifiying enzyme levels in HT-29 cells.

  • 최근 새만금 방조제 건설이 완료됨에 따라 주변 연안지역의 지형에 많은 변화가 감지되었다. 본 연구대상지는 격포해수욕장으로서 새만금 사업 준공 후 연안침식에 따른 모래 유실 등으로 인해 양빈사업 등이 검토되고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 연안지형 변화 탐지를 위한 UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) 활용기술을 제시하는 것으로서 총 3회에 걸쳐 UAV 영상을 촬영하였다. 영상촬영은 DJI Inspire 2 UAV를 활용하였으며 VRS(Virtual Reference Service) 측량성과와 연계하여 Pix4D Mapper SW를 통해 정사영상과 수치표면모델(DSM; Digital Surface Model)을 제작하였다. 먼저 2018. 6. 29 ~ 2018. 12. 10 사이의 지형변화 탐지를 수행한 결과 침식과 퇴적의 최대값은 각각 2.56m와 2.24m로 나타났으며 평균적으로는 0.01m의 퇴적이 발생하였다. 그리고 2018. 6. 29 ~ 2019. 6. 14 동안의 침식과 퇴적의 최대값은 각각 2.31m와 2.28m로 나타났으며 평균값은 0.02m의 침식이 발생하였다. 또한 2018. 12. 10 ~ 2019. 6. 14 사이에는 침식과 퇴적의 최대값이 각각 2.28m와 2.55m로 나타났으며 평균값은 0.03m의 침식이 발생하였다. 지형변화를 보다 상세히 모니터링하고자 퇴적과 침식구간을 나누어 분석을 수행한 결과, 2018. 6. 29 ~ 2018. 12. 10 사이에는 0.5m 이내의 침식과 퇴적구간 면적이 각각 13,324.4m2와 14,667.3m2로 퇴적구간의 면적이 1,342.9m2 만큼 높게 나타났으며, 2018. 12. 10 ~ 2019. 6. 14 사이에는 0.5m 이내의 침식과 퇴적구간 면적이 각각 16,176.6m2와 11,723.0m2로 침식구간의 면적이 4,453m2 만큼 높게 나타났다. 또한 2018. 12. 10 ~ 2019. 6. 14 사이에는 0.5m 이내의 침식과 퇴적구간 면적이 각각 16,821.6m2와 11,126.4m2로 침식구간의 면적이 5,695.2m2 만큼 크게 분석되었다. 이와 같이 UAV 영상 기반의 연안지형 모니터링을 수행할 경우 시계열 지형변화를 효과적으로 모니터링할 수 있으며, 이러한 업무는 새만금 방조제 건설에 따른 지형변화의 영향평가 등 다양한 연안업무에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Seeds of broomrape (Orobanche cernua) were exposed to 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 mM NaCl solutions during their preconditioning period (14 days of moisture) under laboratory conditions and induced to germinate by synthetic germination stimulant (GR24). There was significant reduction in seed germination with increased salt concentration as shown in 35.2, 32.5, 23.6, 14.3, and 9.2% germination, respectively. Exposure of Orobanche cernua seeds to 0.0, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 M levels of NaCl for 9 hours resulted in 29.4, 21.3, 20.5, and 17.4% germination, respectively. Water preconditioned seeds showed Heavier protein profile bands of 6.5-14.2 KDa than those of dry seeds. Seeds treated with 0.75 M NaCl showed profile similar with that of water preconditioned ones, plus an extra band at 29-36 KDa. The protein profiles of 1.0 and 1.5 M NaCl treated seeds showed weaker bands with the absence of 29-36 KDa band.

  • Let $\cal{B}$ be a reflexive Banach space of functions analytic on the open unit disc and M be an invariant subspace of the multiplication operator by the independent variable, $M_z$. Suppose that $\varphi\;\in\;\cal{H}^{\infty}$ and $M_{\varphi}$ : M ${\rightarrow}$ M, defined by $M_{\varphi}f={\varphi}f$, is the operator of multiplication by ${\varphi}$. We would like to investigate the spectrum and the essential spectrum of $M_{\varphi}$ and we are looking for the necessary and sufficient conditions for $M_{\varphi}$ to be a Fredholm operator. Also we give a sufficient condition for a sequence $\{w_n\}$ to be an interpolating sequence for $\cal{B}$. At last the commutant of $M_{\varphi}$ under certain conditions on M and ${\varphi}$ is determined.

  • With the goal of increasing the survivorship of the prosthesis and anticipating primary stability problems of new prosthetic implants, finite element evaluation of the micromotion, at an early stage of the development, is mandatory. This allows assessing and optimizing different designs without manufacturing prostheses. This study aimed at investigating, using finite element analysis (FEA), the difference in the prediction of the primary stability of cementless hip prostheses implanted into a $Sawbones^{(R)}$ 4th generation, using the manufacturer's mechanical properties and using mechanical properties close to that of human bone provided by the literature (39 papers). FEA was carried out on the composite $Sawbones^{(R)}$ implanted with a straight taper femoral stem subjected to a loading condition simulating normal walking. Our results show that micromotion increases with a reduction of the bone material properties and decreases with the augmentation of the bone material properties at the stem-bone interface. Indeed, a decrease of the cancellous Young modulus from 155MPa to 50MPa increased the average micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ up to $41{\mu}m$ (+42%), whereas an increase of the cancellous Young modulus from 155MPa to 1000MPa decreased the average micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $5{\mu}m$ (-83%). A decrease of cortical Young modulus from 16.7GPa to 9GPa increase the average global micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $35{\mu}m$ (+33%), whereas an increase of the cortical Young modulus from 16.7GPa to 21GPa decreased the average global micromotion from $29{\mu}m$ to $27{\mu}m$ (-7%). It can also be seen that the material properties of the cancellous structure had a greater influence on the micromotion than the material properties of the cortical structure. The present study shows that micromotion predicted at the stem-bone interface with material properties of the $Sawbones^{(R)}$ 4th generation is close to that predicted with mechanical properties of human femur.

  • This study suggests basic data for fire-resistant compartments to prevent fires from spreading in a traditional markets. As representative combustible goods handled in traditional markets, bedding and bags were chosen. The fire loads could be calculated using the porosity of the materials based on a standard normal distribution. The bedding and bag porosity were 98.7%, and 94.39%, respectively. The the fire load of bedding is $29.9kg/m^2$, and that of bags is $65.61kg/m^2$.
