The mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites (CFRPs) are greatly dependent on the interfacial adhesion between the carbon fibers and the epoxy matrix. Introducing nanomaterial reinforcements into the interface is an effective approach to enhance the interfacial adhesion of CFRPs. The main purpose of this work was to introduce graphitic nanofiber (GNFs) between an epoxy matrix and carbon fibers to enhance interfacial properties. The composites were reinforced with various concentrations of GNFs. For all of the fabricated composites, the optimum GNF content was found to be 0.6 wt%, which enhanced the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and fracture toughness (KIC) by 101.9% and 33.2%, respectively, compared with those of neat composites. In particular, we observed a direct linear relationship between ILSS and KIC through surface free energy. The related reinforcing mechanisms were also analyzed and the enhancements in mechanical properties are mainly attributed to the interfacial interlocking effect. Such an effort could accelerate the conversion of composites into high performance materials and provide fundamental understanding toward realizing the theoretical limits of interfacial adhesion and mechanical properties.

대용량 화학 및 청정에너지의 운반체인 수소는 석유화학 산업 및 연료전지 등에서 많이 활용되는 중요한 산업용 기체이다. 특히 수소는 주로 증기개질 및 가스화를 통해 화석 연료에서 생성되며 부산물로 이산화탄소가 발생한다. 따라서 고순도 수소를 얻기 위해서는 이산화탄소를 제거해야 한다. 본 총설에서는 배러 단위[1 Barrer = 10^-10 cm³ (STP) × cm / (cm² × s × cmHg)]로 보고된 이산화탄소로부터 수소를 분리하는 프리스탠딩 고분자 분리막 및 혼합매질 분리막에 초점을 맞추었다. 최근 보고된 다양한 논문들을 분석하여 분리막의 구조, 형태, 상호 작용 및 제조 방법에 대해 논의하고 구조-물성 관계를 이해하여 향후 더 나은 분리막 소재를 찾는 데 도움이 되고자 한다. 다양한 분리막의 성능 및 특성 검토를 통해 수소/이산화탄소 분리에 대한 Robeson 성능 한계선을 제시하고, 가교, 혼합 및 열처리 등의 기술을 사용하여 분리 특성을 개선하는 다양한 혼합매질 분리막에 대해 논의하였다.

Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2; 72-kDa gelatinase; 72-kDa type IV collagenase; gelatinase A) plays an important role in normal physiological processes and in many pathologic processes such as arthritis and metastasis of cancer. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-2 (TIMP-2) binds to proMMP-2 or mature MMP-2 at a 1:1 ratio and inhibits the catalytic activity of MMP-2. We demonstrated that the baculovirus/insect cell system does not have TIMP-2 activity. The human proMMP-2 free of TIMP-2 was expressed in the expression system and purified by one-step affinity chromatography using gelatin-Sepharose. The free proMMP-2 was autoactivated to the mature MMP-2 and autodegraded into smaller molecular weight forms in the absence of external activator. The activation and autodegradation of the proMMP-2 was much more rapid in the presence of 4-aminophenylmercuric acetate (APMA). Addition of TIMP-2 inhibits both APMA-induced activation and autodegradation of the free proMMP-2. However, an increasing concentration of TIMP-2 more readily inhibited activation of the free proMMP-2 than autodegradation. These results demonstrate that TIMP-2 plays roles in inhibition of both activation and autodegradation of the free proMMP-2 in addition to inhibition of the catalytic activity of MMP-2.

The authors present a unique case of osteonecrosis of a cortical half of a fibula free flap that has not been reported in the literature yet. This complication was associated with the impairment of the vascularization of periosteum in the cortical half of fibula that was fixated with a nonlocking reconstructive 2.0-mm plate and screws but other factors could have been involved. The patient was submitted to excision of a cemento-ossifying fibroma that resulted in a left hemimaxilectomy mesoinfrastructure defect classified as the Cordeiro type 2B. The 42-year-old female patient was submitted to reconstruction with an osteomusculocutaneous fibula free flap plus a segment of fibula graft. The two bone segments of the free flap used to reconstruct the anterior and left alveolar crest were fixated with a reconstructive 2.0-mm plate of matrixMANDIBLE system. The only reported complication was an oronasal fistula that healed with conservative treatment and the referred osteonecrosis of the external cortical half of the fibula free flap with plate exposure at 2.5 years postoperatively. Surgical excision of the osteonecrosed cortical half of the fibula with the plate and screws was performed, while the other cortical underwent bone union as corroborated by computed tomography scans.

자유 및 강제진동하중이 작용하는 양단지지된 변단면 들보의 우한 진폭 운동을, 축방향 및 전단변형과 회전관성을 고려한 유한요소를 이용하여 추적하였다. 수정된 조화하중 행렬을 도입하여 조화하중이 작용하는 변단면 들보와 비조화하중이 작용하는 들보의 유한진폭의 운동을 비선형해석을 하였다. 여러가지 경계조건에 대한 고유진동수와 변위를 계산한 예들은 제안된 방법이 효과적이며 유효함을 보여준다.

The antiferroelectric liquid crystal display (AFLCD) is a unique display that can at demonstrate a moving image perfectly the passive matrix driving scheme. We optimised driving the waveform and introduced a dual-driving method. Also, by improving this driving method and using line inversion method, we realize the AFLC display of high image quality with $160(RGB){\times}240$, 32768 colors, crosstalk free and flicker free contrast ratio is greater than 60:1, and the brightness is above 200 $cd/m^2$.

This paper describes the theory and verification of a method which utilizes the free decay response of a structure to determine its vibration parameters. The theory of the method is base on the formulation of a system matrix, contains information characterizing the complete set of modal parameters of the system, and its eigen-solution problem. The applicability of the method is verified by simulated free decay response data of a cantilever bean The method described was used to determined the parameters related to the first five generated modes of vibration of a cantilever beam. It involves two very close natural frequencies which could not be identified using a frequency sweep test(peak amplitude) because of interference between modes.

Sensor localization has become an essential requirement for realistic applications over wireless sensor networks (WSN). In this paper we propose an ad hoc localization algorithm that is infrastructure-free, anchor-free, and computationally efficient with reduced communication. A novel combination of distance and direction estimation technique is introduced to detect and estimate ranges between neighbors. Using this information we construct unidirectional coordinate systems to avoid the reflection ambiguity. We then compute node positions using a transformation matrix [T], which reduces the computational complexity of the localization algorithm while computing positions relative to the fixed coordinate system. Simulation results have shown that at a node degree of 9 we get $90\%$ localization with $20\%$ average localization error without using any error refining schemes.

In this paper, the stability of a flexible missle, idealized as a free-free beam, is evaluated by using the finite element method. For the study, heavy machinery part is modeled as a concentrated mass and the thrust, which is controlled by a feedback sensor located at a predetermined position, is considered as a constant follower force. The aerodynamic forces, the structural damping, the cross sectional variation servo lag effect are neglected in this study. With unconstrained variational principle, the finite element method is applied to the nondimensionalized beam eqution. The matrix eigenvalue equation is obtained and the eigenvalues are calculated by a computer for the stability analysis. The stability is evaluated by the inspection of the eigenvalues are calculated by a computer for the stabilith analysis. The stabilith is evaluated by the inspection of the eigenvalues of the problem. For the study, the behaviors of the eigenvalues at various thrusts and the effects of the magnitudes and positions of the concentrated mass and directional control constant are analyzed.

When the input-output record is available, the identification of a bilinear system is considered. It is assumed that the input is noise free and the output is contaminated by an additive noise. It is further assumed that the covariance matrix of the noise is known up to a factor of proportionality. The extended generalized total least squares (e-GTLS) method is proposed as one of the consistent estimators of the bilinear system parameters. Considering that the input is noise-free and that bilinear system equation is linear with respect to the system parameters, we extend the GTLS problem. The extended GTLS problem is reduced to an unconstrained minimization problem, and is solved by the Newton-Raphson method. We compare the GTLS method and the e-GTLS method in the point of the accuracy of the estimated system parameters.
