Isoflavones have received much attention because of their health-related and clinical benefits such as estrogenic and anti-oxidative activities as well as triggering of natural killer cell activity. However, there are few publications reporting the pharmacokinetic profiles together with physicochemical properties of main isoflavones. Therefore, the pharmacokinetic parameters of main aglycones, daidzein, glycitein and genistein after oral administration of soybean extracts were investigated and the physicochemical properties of soybean extracts were characterized. It was observed that angle of repose was $46^{\circ}$ and tap density, bulk density and porosity were 10.12, 4.3 and $0.86\;g/cm^3$ and the mean $AUC_{last}$ of daidzein, glycitein and genistein was $11.376\;{\mu}g{\cdot}h/mL$, $3.045\;{\mu}g{\cdot}h/mL$ and $0.825\;{\mu}g{\cdot}h/mL$, respectively. Cell viability was 60% at a concentration of 10 mg/mL. Taken together, it was suggested that isoflavones were contained in the soybean products and had an antioxidant activity and this study would be the basis to control the quality of soybean products and study of the bioequivalence between soybean products in future.

Plasma sprayed ceramic coatings are widely used in various industrial fields to improve their properties or to reduce the production cost. The ceramic powders for plasma spray coating have been mainly manufactured by spray drying or fused+crushed process. In this study, chromium oxide which has better mechanical properties than those of the other ceramic was selected and agglomerated chromium oxide powders for plasma spray coating were produced by spray drying process with a various processing condition. The large hollow powders and the harsh surfaced powders are formed at high slurry feed rate more than 163 g/min. and low binder concentration less than 2wt%, respectively. These powders cause the considerable decrease of flowability and apparent density. The powders produced by spray drying process have the spherical shape with the mean size of 45 ${\mu}m$, but these are shown lower apparent density and flowability than the powders produced by fused+crushed powders. The plasma spray coated layers by spray dried powders are shown a different microstructure with that by fused+crushed powders in porosity shape, but their properties such as density, hardness and bond strength are similar.

The present study aims to examine the influence of flame spray distance on the thermal behavior of micro-metal particles and the morphological characteristics of $Ni_{20}Cr$ layers coated on the preheated SCM415 substrates by using the conventional flame spray system. Commercially available nickel-based $Ni_{20}Cr$ particles with a mean diameter of $45{\mu}m$ were used. In addition, CFD simulations using a commercial code (FLUENT ver. 6.3.26) were conducted to estimate temperature and velocity distributions of the continuous and discrete phases before impact on the substrate. From FE-SEM images of coated layers on the substrates, it was observed that as the spray distance decreased, the metal particle morphology showed splash-like patterns and such a short stretch shape, resulting from higher particle momentums and the impact of partially melted particles. Moreover, it was found that the spray distance should be considered as one of important parameters in controlling the porosity and the adhesion strength.

In this paper, wave propagations in sigmoid functionally graded (S-FG) plates are studied using new Higher Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT) based on two-dimensional (2D) elasticity theory. The current higher order theory has only four unknowns, which mean that few numbers of unknowns, compared with first shear deformations and others higher shear deformations theories and without needing shear corrector. The material properties of sigmoid functionally graded are assumed to vary through thickness according sigmoid model. The S-FG plates are supposed to be imperfect, which means that they have a porous distribution (even and uneven) through the thickness of these plates. The governing equations of S-FG plates are derived employed Hamilton's principle. Using technique of Navier, differential equations of S-FG in terms displacements are solved. Extensive results are presented to check the efficient of present methods to predict wave dispersion and velocity wave in S-FG plates.

Microsotructure designed porous ceramics of calcium hydroxyapatite $(Ca_{10}(PO_4)_6(OH)_2)$ were prepared by hydrothermal method. The particle size, shape, and the micro-pore size of the porous hydroxyapatite ceramics could becontrolled. The hydroxyapatite was non-stoichiometric apatite with calcium deficient compositions (Ca/P ratio < 1.67). The composition of non-stoichiometric hydroxyapatite ceramics could be controlled from 1.50 to 1.63 in Ca/P ratio. The hydroxyapatite ceramics preparedc at $105^{\circ}C$ under the saturated vapor pressure for 20h were composed of rod-shaped crystals with about 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ in length with the mean aspect ratio of 40. The porous ceramics of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite had about 45% porosity with the inter-connecting pore structure. Porous hydroxyapatite ceramics prepared hydrothermally had the compressive strength of about 10 to 30 MPa. In addition, porous ceramics of $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate ($\beta-Ca_3(PO_4)_2$) were prepared from the calcium deficient hydroxyapatite.

Since the amplitudes of spin echo train in nuclear magnetic resonance logging (NMRL) are small and the signal to noise ratio (SNR) is also very low, this paper puts forward an improved de-noising algorithm based on wavelet transformation. The steps of this improved algorithm are designed and realized based on the characteristics of spin echo train in NMRL. To test this improved de-noising algorithm, a 32 points forward model of big porosity is build, the signal of spin echo sequence with adjustable SNR are generated by this forward model in an experiment, then the median filtering, wavelet hard threshold de-noising, wavelet soft threshold de-noising and the improved de-noising algorithm are compared to de-noising these signals, the filtering effects of these four algorithms are analyzed while the SNR and the root mean square error (RMSE) are also calculated out. The results of this experiment show that the improved de-noising algorithm can improve SNR from 10 to 27.57, which is very useful to enhance signal and de-nosing noise for spin echo train in NMRL.

This paper introduces a method to reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) microstructure of two-phase materials, e.g., porous materials such as highly irradiated nuclear fuel, from two-dimensional (2D) sections via a multi-objective optimization genetic algorithm. The optimization is based on the comparison between the reference and reconstructed 2D sections on specific target properties, i.e., 2D pore number, and mean value and standard deviation of the pore-size distribution. This represents a multi-objective fitness function subject to weaker hypotheses compared to state-of-the-art methods based on n-points correlations, allowing for a broader range of application. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated on synthetic data and compared with state-of-the-art methods adopting a fitness based on 2D correlations. The method here developed can be used as a cost-effective tool to reconstruct the pore structure in highly irradiated materials using 2D experimental data.

Bulk graphite is manufactured using graphite scrap as the filler and phenolic resin as the binder. Graphite scrap, which is the by-product of processing the final graphite product, is pulverized and sieved by particle size. The relationship between the density and porosity is analyzed by measuring the mechanical properties of bulk graphite. The filler materials are sieved into mean particle sizes of 10.62, 23.38, 54.09, 84.29, and 126.64 ㎛. The bulk graphite density using the filler powder with a particle size of 54.09 ㎛ is 1.38 g/㎤, which is the highest value in this study. The compressive strength tends to increase as the bulk graphite density increases. The highest compressive strength of 43.14 MPa is achieved with the 54.09 ㎛ powder. The highest flexural strength of 23.08 MPa is achieved using the 10.62 ㎛ powder, having the smallest average particle size. The compressive strength is affected by the density of bulk graphite, and the flexural strength is affected by the filler particle size of bulk graphite.

본 연구는 밭토양 내수성입단의 계절별 특성을 밝히고 파쇄프랙탈차원을 이용하여 대공극률과의 관계를 구명코자 수행하였다. 대상 토양은 토성이 다른 세 지점으로 고평통 (Fine, Typic Hapludalfs), 규암통 (Fine silty over coarse silty, Fluvaquentic Eutrudepts), 중동통(Coarse loamy, Typic Udifluvents)으로 경기도에 위치하였다. 봄, 여름, 가을에 불교란 시료를 채취하고 내수성입단과 대공극률, 토양이화학성을 측정하였다. 내수성입단은 파쇄프랙탈차원($D_f$), 기하평균지름(GMD), 중량평균지름(MWD)의 세 가지로 계수화하였다. $D_f$는 MWD보다 GMD와 상관이 높게 나타났고, 무차원의 입단파쇄과정에 근거하여서 실험에 사용한 입단크기와 전처리과정의 영향을 덜 받아 내수성입단의 계수화에 적절하다고 판단할 수 있었다. 계절적으로 내수성입단은 여름>봄>가을순으로 나타났고 생물활성과 토양수분의 영향으로 파악할 수 있었다. $D_f$ 3.1이하의 토양에서 $D_f$와 대공극률과역의 상관관계를 나타냈으며 특히 $99{\mu}m$ 이상의 공극률과 상관이 높았으며 $D_f$ 3.1이상의 토양에서는 상관이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 $D_f$ 3.1이하의 토양에서는 대공극률과 포화수리전도도의 누승함수 적합도가 높게 나타났다. 따라서 내수성입단의 파쇄프랙탈차원은 입단화에 의한 대공극형성과 해석에 유용하다고 판단할 수 있었다.
