Air-drying tests were carried out on green taun (Pometia pinnata f glabra) for 25-mm and 50-mm thickness to elucidate drying characteristics on air-drying rate, time and defects in spring and air-drying calendar. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The air-dried lumber for 25-mm thickness from an initial average moisture content (MC) of $58.3{\pm}3.5$ percent reached 30 percent MC in 17 days, 25 percent MC in 24 days, 20 percent MC in 38 days and 15 percent MC in 84 days. 2. The air-dried lumber for 50-mm thickness from an initial average MC of $59.6{\pm}5.0$ percent reached 30 percent MC in 39 days, 25 percent MC in 55 days and 20 percent MC in 84 days. 3. Air-drying calendar that could be useful in estimating drying times for each month developed by the use of climatological data for Suwon. Total number of effective air-drying days during a year were 243.5 days and the major determinant of the effect air-drying days was temperature. 4. The air-drying rates for 25-mm and 50-mm coated lumber were slight1y slower than those of uncoated lumber. The number and total length of both end checks and surface checks for end coated lumber were less severe than those of uncoated lumber.

무선망을 통한 개인별 고속 멀티미디어 서비스의 필요성이 커짐에 따라 데이터 전송 속도의 고속화 및 많은 가입자의 수용이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 앞으로 이와 같은 멀티미디어 서비스용 이동 통신 시스템의 구현을 위해서는 기지국에 스마트 안테나 기술을 적용하여야 할 것이다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 MC-CDMA(Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access)와 DS-CDMA(Direct Sequence) 방식에 스마트 안테나를 적용한 시스템의 BER 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 적응 빔 형성(Adaptive Beamforming) 기법 및 신호 스펙트럼 대역폭에 따른 MC-CDMA와 DS-CDMA의 특성을 주파수 선택적 Rayleigh 페이딩에서의 역 방향 링크 채널을 가정하여 모의 실험 하였다. 스마트 안테나의 빔 폭을 적게 할수록 전체적으로 BER 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었고 MC-CDMA 시스템의 경우 사용자 수가 급격히 증가하더라도 DS-CDMA에 비하여 BER 성능이 훨씬 우수함을 확인하였다.

Purpose : This study was aimed at investgating the effect of McKenzie exercise on temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) and body balance. Methods : Thirty subjects with TMJD were selected. They were randomly assigned to one of two groups (15 in each group) : namely the conservative treatment group and McKenzie exercise group. The conservative treatment group were treated physical therapy for 6 weeks (3 times a week). The McKenzie exercise group performed McKenzie exercise for 6 weeks (3 times a week). We measured mouth opening, pain, muscle activation and body balance before and after exercise by using the maximum mouth opening MMO), visual analog scale (VAS), electromyography and Biodex Balance System, respectively. Results : We found statistically significant differences in pain and mouth opening in the conservative treatment group and McKenzie exercise group before and after (p<.05). Conclusion : We confirmed the effect of McKenzie exercise on TMJD. Thus we thought these results could be used as basic data and reference for TMJD. But we need more study effect of McKenzie exercise on TMJD and body balance.

Melanocortin 4 receptor: (MC4R) and Myostatin (MSTN) are two important growth trait-related genes in animals. In this study, we showed that two SNPs, MC4R-719A>G and MSTN-519C>T, found in the promoters of the MC4R and MSTN genes, respectively, are both associated with growth traits in Spinibarbus hollandi. Furthermore, we observed that there were significant associations between the expression levels of the MC4R and MSTN genes and these two growth trait-related SNPs. The expression level of MC4R gene in brain was lower in GG genotype fish with extremely high growth performance than that in AA genotype fish with extremely low growth performance. Expression level of the MSTN gene in muscle was lower in TT genotype fish with extremely high growth performance than that in CC and CT genotype fish with lower growth performance. The results indicated that these SNPs located in the promoters of MC4R and MSTN are associated with growth-related traits through modification of gene expression levels. The MSTN and MC4R SNPs may have useful application in effective marker-assisted selection aimed to increase output in S. hollandi.

Timber structures are susceptible to structural damages caused by variations in moisture content (MC), inducing severe durability deterioration and safety issues. Therefore, it is of great significance to detect MC levels in timber structures. Compared to current methods for timber MC detection, which are time-consuming and require bulky equipment deployment, Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT)-enabled stress wave sensing combined with statistic machine learning classification proposed in this paper show the advantage of the portable device and ease of operation. First, stress wave signals from different MC cases are excited and received by PZT sensors through active sensing. Subsequently, two non-baseline features are extracted from these stress wave signals. Finally, these features are fed to a statistic machine learning classifier (i.e., naïve Bayesian classification) to achieve MC detection of timber structures. Numerical simulations validate the feasibility of PZT-enabled sensing to perceive MC variations. Tests referring to five MC cases are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results present high accuracy for timber MC detection, showing a great potential to conduct rapid and long-term monitoring of the MC level of timber structures in future field applications.

In this study, a cross section stochastic sampling (S.S.) capability is implemented into both the McCARD continuous energy Monte Carlo code and MIG multiple-correlated data sampling code. The ENDF/B-VII.1 covariance data based 30 group cross section sets and the SCALE6 covariance data based 44 group cross section sets are sampled by the MIG code. Through various uncertainty quantification (UQ) benchmark calculations, the McCARD/MIG results are verified to be consistent with the McCARD stand-alone sensitivity/uncertainty (S/U) results and the XSUSA S.S. results. UQ analyses for Three Mile Island Unit 1, Peach Bottom Unit 2, and Kozloduy-6 fuel pin problems are conducted to provide the uncertainties of k_eff and microscopic and macroscopic cross sections by the McCARD/MIG code system. Moreover, the SNU S/U formulations for uncertainty propagation in a MC depletion analysis are validated through a comparison with the McCARD/MIG S.S. results for the UAM Exercise I-1b burnup benchmark. It is therefore concluded that the SNU formulation based on the S/U method has the capability to accurately estimate the uncertainty propagation in a MC depletion analysis.

본 연구에서는 복합형 지지방식으로 개발된 MC앵커에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. MC앵커는 선단 정착장치가 확장되어 천공된 공벽에 지압력이 발휘됨에 따라 인발력 증대와 그라우팅이 제대로 이루어지지 않을 경우에도 앵커체가 지반에서 탈락하지 않는 특성이 있다. 또한, 앵커강선과 더불어 보강철근을 삽입하여 인장손실을 감소시키는 동시에 시공성을 높이고 앵커강선의 손실이 발생하였을 때 네일의 역할을 기대할 수 있어 장기적인 안정성 향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 그러나, MC앵커와 같은 복합형 앵커는 마찰형 앵커와 지지구조가 다르기 때문에 지반과 그라우트의 마찰력에 의한 인발력 산정방식은 적합하지 않다. 특히, 국내의 경우에는 복합형 앵커에 대하여 지반특성을 고려한 설계법이 명확하게 정립되어 있지 않아 복합형 앵커의 인발력이 과소 또는 과대 평가되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 복합형 앵커의 일종인 MC앵커의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 강도변화가 심한 셰일지반을 대상으로 총 9개소에서 시험앵커를 시공하여 인발, 인장 및 장기변위를 측정하였다. 또한, 시험결과를 일반 마찰형 앵커의 경우와 비교, 분석하여 MC앵커의 거동 특성을 평가하였으며, 시험결과 셰일층에서 MC앵커는 일반 마찰형 앵커에 비해 인발력 증대효과를 확인할 수 있었다.

황이 포함된 중형기공성 탄소 담체(S-MC)에 화학적으로 고정화된 $H_5PMo_{10}V_2O_{40}$ ($PMo_{10}V_2$) 촉매를 제조하고, 이를 Benzyl alcohol 산화반응에 적용해보았다. 먼저 주형물질로 SBA-15, 탄소 전구체로 p-Toluenesulfonic acid를 이용하여 S-MC 지지체를 제조하였다. 이후, $PMo_{10}V_2$ 촉매가 화학적으로 고정화될 수 있는 위치를 제공하기 위해 S-MC 지지체의 표면이 양전하를 띠도록 개질시켰다. 전체적으로 음전하를 띠는 $[PMo_{10}V_2O4_{40}]^{5-}$를 이용함으로써 $PMo_{10}V_2$를 양이온을 띠는 S-MC 표면에 화학적으로 고정화하였다. 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$가 분자수준으로 균일하게 분산되었음을 확인하였다. Benzyl alcohol의 기상 산화반응에서 $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매는 무담지 상태의 $PMo_{10}V_2$보다 높은 전화율 및 수율을 나타냈다. $PMo_{10}V_2$/S-MC 촉매의 반응 활성이 향상된 이유는 화학적 고정화를 통해 $PMo_{10}V_2$이 S-MC 지지체에 고르게 분산되었기 때문이다.

Objective : Moutan Cortex (the root bark of Paeonia suffruticosa Andr.) is widely used in oriental medicine as a remedy for inflammation. However, as yet there is no clear explanation of how MC(Moutan Cortex) affects the production of inflammatory cytokine. This study was to determine the effects of Essence extracted MC on the mast cell-mediated inflammatory responses. Method : We observed the effect of MC on compound 48/80-induced histamine release of rat peritoneal mast cells and the effect of administering MC on PCA in rat. We measured the amount of inflammatory cytokine production induced by the phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore(A23187) in the human mast cell line (HMC-1) incubated with various concentrations of MC. The TNF-$\alpha$ protein levels were analysised by Western blot. The TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6 and IL-8 secreted protein levels were measured by the ELISA assay. The TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA levels were measured by the RT-PCR analysis. NF-$\kappa$B, phospho-I$\kappa$B and MAPKs were exmined by Western blot analysis. The NF-$\kappa$B promoter activity was examined by luciferase assay. Result : 1. Enzyme immunoassay indicated that MC suppressed histamine secretion of rat peritoneal mast cells. 2. In PCA dependent on IgE, MC had anti-allergic effect of the internal surface of rat skin. 3. Western blot indicated that MC decreased TNF-$\alpha$ protein levels. 4. ELISA indicated that MC decreased TNF-$\alpha$, IL-6 but MC had no significant effect on IL-8 in HMC-1 cells. 5. RT-PCR indicated that MC decreased TNF-$\alpha$, IL-8 but MC had no significant effect on IL-6 in HMC-l cells. 6. Western blot indicated that MC suppressed the induction of MAPKs, NF-$\kappa$B & phospho-I$\kappa$B activity in HMC-1 cells. 7. Luciferase assay indicated that MC suppressed the PMA plus A23187-induced NF-$\kappa$B promoting activityin HMC-1 cells. Conclusion : In this study, we have found that MC is an inhibitor of NF-$\kappa$B, MAPKs & cytokines on the mast cell-mediated inflammatory responses.
