Obesity is psychological and socioeconomic problems as well as health problems related to physical disease and disorder. The obesity epidemic, including a marked increase in the prevalence of obesity among pregnant women, represents a critical public health problem throughout the world. Gung-Gui-Tang (GGT), a prescription of traditional Korean medicine, has been used to treat dizziness due to loss of blood as well as static blood after childbirth. However, the therapeutic potential of GGT on postpartum obesity has not been fully elucidated in an experimental model. In our research, GGT inhibited the increases of body weight and adipose tissues in postpartum mice fed a high-fat diet. GGT also inhibited the elevations of plasma lipid profiles such as triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and glutamate pyruvate transaminase. Overall, these results provide evidence that GGT can help to inhibit postpartum obesity and open new perspective to recover the shape of mother into the moment of conception.

Barrier ribs for PDP(plasma display panel) are commonly utilized to have uniform height and width and to prevent opical crosstalk between adjacent cells. The requirements for such barrier ribs are uniform height and shape, low outgassing rate and low porosity, high aspect ratio, and fine resolution. In this study, we are studied about that to make efficiency of material and high quality barrier ribs for PDP. As a result, could got high barrier ribs of $140{\mu}m$ evenly in 1th phenomenon using watersoluble UV curing resin and know that flatness of upper part is also very good.

In this study the heat transfer and fluid flow of the molten pool in stationary gas tungsten arc welding using argon shielding gas were investigated. Transporting phenomena from the welding arc to the base material surface, such as current density, heat flux, arc pressure and shear stress acting on the weld pool surface, were taken from the simulation results of the corresponding welding arc. Various driving forces for the weld pool convection were considered, self-induced electromagnetic, surface tension, buoyancy, and impinging plasma arc forces. Furthermore, the effect of surface depression due to the arc pressure acting on the molten pool surface was considered. Because fusion boundary has a curved and unknown shape during welding, a boundary-fitted coordinate system was adopted to precisely describe the boundary for the momentum equation. The numerical model was applied to AISI 304 stainless steel and compared with the experimental results.

In this study, a plasma flat fluorescent lamp having a new structure was fabricated by screen printing technique. Coplanar types of silver electrodes with a dielectric layer were screen-printed on a rear glass plate, and then fired at $550^{\circ}C$ and $580^{\circ}C$, respectively. Phosphor was spin-coated on the dielectric layer with firing at $490^{\circ}C$. Several types of lamps were designed and its properties wee investigated with electrode shape, gas pressure, etc.

A new type ac plasma display panels(PDPs) cells are designed and tested electrically and optically. One cells have the structure of sin discharge path shape and small electrode area. The other cells have the non-symmetric structure with a same electrode area. They show a higher luminous efficienccy and a lower power consumption about 30% improvement than the conventional standard ac PDP cells.

The preparation of composite powders for plasma spraying by an in-house designed mechanofusion process is investigated. Results show that dry particle coating depends on the chemical and mechanical properties of powders. In metal/oxide and metal/oxide/carbide powder mixtures, fine ceramic particles coat the surface of the metallic coarser particles. A nearly rounded shape of the final composite particles is induced by the mechanical energy input with no formation of new phases. However with the carbide/metal powdered system, only an intimate mixture of components is achieved. It is suggested that the coating mechanism is governed by agglomeration and rolling phenomena.

In this paper, a multi-scale model is applied to the simulation of thrombus growth. This model includes macroscale model and microscale model. The former is used to model the plasma flow with Navier-Stokes equations, and the latter is used to model the platelets adhesion and aggregation, thrombus motion, and the surface expansion of thrombus. The force acting on platelets and thrombus from plasma is modeled by the drag force, and the forces from biochemical reactions are modeled by the adhesion force and the aggregation force. As more platelets are merged into the thrombus, the thrombus surface expands. We proposed a thrombus growth model for simulating the expansion of thrombus surface and tracking the surface by Level Set Methods. We implemented the computational model. The model performs well, and the experimental results show that the shape of thrombus in level set expansion form is similar with the thrombus in clinical test.

Ag conductive thick film has been used in bus and address electrodes of PDP (Plasma display panel). In PDP fabrication, the firing temperature of electrode is normally $550{\sim}580^{\circ}C$. For the application of PDP industry, we investigated an Ag conductive thick film with firing temperature. Low melting glass frit was used in the conductive thick film. The thermal properties of Ag and frit were determined by a hot stage microscopy. Based on the our results, we suggest that the Ag conductive thick film should be considered of the firing temperature which is correlated to the shrinkage, conductivity, and shape of thick film.
