This paper presents virtual machining system in order to realize turning process in virtual space. A reliable virtual turning process simulation was developed based on the surface shaping system which is capable of considering geometric model, thermal error model, and vibration model. Accuracy of surface shape resulting from proposed machining simulator was verified experimentally. This paper also developed the watchdog agent that continuously assessed, diagnosed, and predicted performance of products and machines in machining. The Watchdog agent extracted feature signal using time-frequency analysis among various signals from multi-sensor and evaluated machining condition using performance confidence value.

계배 limb bud간충직 연골원성 세포로부터 연골원세포로의 분화과정에서 Ca2+의 역할을 추구해 보기 위하여 Hamburger-Hamilton stage 23/24의 계배 limb bud간충직세포들을 미세배양법으로 배양하면서, Ca2+, calcium ionophore인 A23187, calcium channel blocker인 D600을 각각 농도 및 처리기간을 변화시켜 처리하면서 연골화의 정도를 검정하여, 연골세포 분화에 미치는 Ca2+의 작용양상을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Ca2+은 3 mM의 농도로 배양초기에 처리하였을 때 가장 효과적으로 연골화를 촉진하였으며, A23187(0.05 $\mu$ M) 처리는 세포내로 Ca2+유입을 증가시켜 연골화를 촉진시킨 반면, D6OO(30 $\mu$ M이하) 처리는 세포내로 Ca2+ 유입을 차단시킴으로서 연골화를 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과에 따른 세포내로의 칼슘 유입 변화는 45Ca로 확인하였다. 그러므로 Ca2+에 의한 간충직세포의 연골세포로의 분화촉진 작용은 Ca2+이 연골화의 응집시기에 세포간의 접촉을 유도할 뿐만 아니라 배양 초기에 Ca2+이 세포 내로 들어감으로써 수반되는 일련의 기작에 의한 것임을 알았다.

The scores of TOEFL, TOEIC, and TEPS have been increasingly used for many purposes in Korea. In particular, these test scores are being used as a predictor for determining readiness for and success in college work, or as a measure of the testees' overall English proficiency. Nonetheless, studies have rarely proposed that the validity of the test scores is used for either purpose. As a preliminary step to explore the predictive validity of the test scores, we collected the scores of TOEFL, TOEIC, and TEPS from thirty students of a university as well as their cumulative grade point averages (GPAs). The correlations between the test scores and GPAs show that TOEFL will be most likely to have the highest validity coefficient as a predictor for determining success in college work as well as a measure of overall English proficiency. Although this study has a few limitations such as the small number of participants, their homogeneousness as a group, etc., it provides some insight into the use of the three tests for college admissions and measurement of overall English proficiency and suggests need for conducting further validation studies in these areas.

We have investigated the magnetic properties and the electronic structures of Tc half-monolayer (0.5-ML) on Pd(001) using the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave(FLAPW) energy band method. We calculated the total energies for ferromagnetic and paramagnetic states to determine the stable magnetic state. The calculated results show that the total energy of the ferromagnetic state is lower than that of the paramagnetic one. The overlayer Tc 0.5-ML has considerably large magnetic moment $(2.09\;{\mu}_B)$, while the substrate Pd layers have been negatively polarized. The calculated density of states and total electrons inside the muffin-tin (MT) sphere are presented and discussed in relation with the magnetic properties.

Purpose: Field operation data contains missing values or outliers due to various causes of the data collection process, so caution is required when utilizing RAM analysis results by field operation data. The purpose of this study is to present a method to minimize the RAM analysis error of the field data to improve the accuracy. Methods: Statistical methods are presented for processing of the outliers and the missing values of the field operating data, and after analyzing the RAM, the differences between before and after applying the technique are discussed. Results: The availability is estimated to be lower by 6.8 to 23.5% than that before processing, and it is judged that the processing of the missing values and outliers greatly affect the RAM analysis result. Conclusion: RAM analysis of OO weapon system was performed and suggestions for improvement of RAM analysis were presented through comparison with the new and current method. Data analysis results without appropriate treatment of error values may result in incorrect conclusions leading to inappropriate decisions and actions.

The SiOxNy thin films were prepared on Si(lOO) by reactive RF sputtering method. The reactive gas ratio and the power were used as parameters for depositing SiOxNy thin fims. The properties of ${SiO_x}{N_y}$ thin tilms were investigated by XRD, XPS, refractive index and extinction coefficient analyzer (n'||'&'||'k analyzer), and FfIR. It was found by the results of the x-ray diffraction measurement that SiOxNy thin films were grown to an amorphous structure. From the results of the XPS, and the n'||'&'||'k analyzer, it was found that refractive index was intended to increase with the increasement of the relative nitrogen contents of the ${SiO_x}{N_y}$ thin films.

Myanmar's plant diversity is expected to be very high given the wide variety of climates and the diverse vegetation and geographical features of the country. Since the publication of Kress et al.'s plant checklist in 2003, new and unrecorded species have been constantly reported by various botanists, but much of Myanmar's flora requires more intensive examinations. We conducted joint floristic surveys of several Ywangan areas, including the Panlaung-Pyadalin Cave Wildlife Sanctuary in southern Shan State of Myanmar. The initial identification of seed plant specimens collected from three short floristic expeditions revealed that 23 species were newly recorded species in Myanmar. More than half of these were found to be geographically notable species, which are known to be endemic to neighboring countries such as China (4 spp.), Thailand (6 spp.), and India (2 spp.). A considerable number of these unrecorded species are distributed in the limestone areas of neighboring countries, reflecting the geological characteristics of the survey area. The results of this study reemphasize the need for intensive and continuous research on the flora of Myanmar for a more comprehensive understanding of the distribution patterns of flowering plants in Southeast Asia.

The purpose of this study was to report the effect of a combination of Sa-am five-element acupuncture and eight-principle pharmacopuncture (EPP) for the treatment of an essential tremor (ET). This study reviewed the medical records treated at OO Korean medical hospital for ET by using diverse types of acupuncture without herbal medicine, other types of physical therapy, and western medication related ET or Parkinson's disease and was performed after the approval of the institutional review board (IRB). The three cases that were finally selected were then extracted and reviewed. The three cases that were finally selected involved three women in their 70s to 80s. The evaluation of the progress was made by using the numeric rating scale. A combined treatment, the method of liver excess (肝乘格), from among Sa-am five-element acupuncture, and Hwangyeonhaedoktang EPP at CV23 and CV17, was applied to all cases. In all three cases, the ET was improved, and recurred ETs improved with the same treatment. The results suggest that the combined treatment of Sa-am five-element acupuncture and Hwangyeon-haedoktang EPP may be effective for treating an ET, even though this conclusion is based on only three cases.

A theory for the material transports through ion exchange membrane has been developed on the basis of nonequilibrium thermodynamics by removing the assumption of solvent flow in the previous paper and applied to a detailed study of the ionic transport properties of new charged mosaic membrane(CMM) system. The CMM having two different fixed charges in the polymer membrane indicated unique selective transport behavior then ion-exchange membrane. The separation behavior of ion transport across the CMM with a parallel array of positive and negative functional charges were investigated. It was well-known the analysis of the volume flux and solute flux based on nonequilibrium thermodynamics. Our suggests preferential salt transport across the charged mosaic membranes. Transport properties of heavy metal ions, $Mg^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$and sucrose system across the charged mosaic membrane were estimated. As a result, we were known metal salts transport depended largely on the CMM. The reflection coefficient indicated the negative value that suggested preferential material transport and was independent of charged mosaic membrane thickness.

An acute ethanol load(50mmol/kg , i.p) resulted in an increase in peroxidation and a decrease in the levels of $\alpha$-tocopherol and ascorbate in rat cerebellum. Pretreatement with allopurinol(146$\mu$mol/kg, i.p) prevented the ethnol-induced increment in lipid peroxidation and decrease in $\alpha$-tocopherol content. However, the decrease of ascorbate was of greater magnitude when allopurinol was associated with ethanol. These results suggested that allopurinol. besides its action as a radical scavenger and xanthine oxidase inhibitor, might favor the regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol antioxidant acitviity was studied using ${\gamma}$-radiolysis in aerated ethanolic solutions. Even though allopurinol did not react by itself with $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radicals [H3C-CH(OH)OO] , it enhance the $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radical scavenging properties of $\alpha$tocopherol. The regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol from the $\alpha$-hydroxyethyl-peroxyl radical scavenging properties of $\alpha$-tocophero. The regeneration of $\alpha$-tocopherol from the $\alpha$-tocopherol radical by ascorbate remained as efficient in the presence of allopurinol as in its absence. The effects of allopurinol on the Vitamin E oxidation-reduction mechanism could be involoved in the beneficial effectof allopurinol on the biological cellular damages linked to free radical reactions.
