Mass transport near grain boundary in a magnetite bi-crystal has been estimated at 823 K by finite element method. Mass transport near grain boundary strongly depends on the diffusivities along grain boundary. If grain boundary diffusion has the same oxygen activity dependence as lattice diffusion, there is no mass transport between grains and grain boundary. On the other hand, mass transport between grains and grain boundary is observed in the case that grain boundary diffusion has different oxygen activity dependence.

We presents an hazard zonation mapping technique in karst terrain and its assessment. From the detailed engineering geological mapping. Controlling factors of sink hole and limestone cave formation were discussed and 4 main hazard factors affecting hazard potential are identified as follows: prerequisite hazard factor(distributions of pre-existing sink holes and cavities), geomorphological hazard factors(slope gradient, vegetation, and drainage pattern etc.) geological hazard factors(lithology, fracture patterns and geological structures etc.) and hydraulic conditions(hydraulic head, annual fluctuation of ground water table and composition of g/w water). From the construction of hazard zonation map along the Jecheon-Maepo area, and vertical cross-sectional hazard zonations specific tunnel site we suggest hazard zonation rating systems.

Ferromagnet/Semiconductor heterostructures have attracted much attention because of their potential applications in spintronic devices. We investigated the electronic structures and magnetism of monolayer Fe on $CuGaSe_2(001)$ by using the all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method within a generalized gradient approximation. We considered the monolayer Fe deposited on both the CuGa atoms terminated (CuGa-Term) and the Se atom terminated (Se-Term) surfaces of $CuGaSe_2(001)$. The calculated magnetic moment of the Fe atom on the CuGa-Term was about $2.90\;{{\mu}_B}$. Those of the Fe atoms on the Se-Term were in the range of $2.85-2.98\;{{\mu}_B}$. The different magnetic behaviors of the Fe atoms on two different surfaces were discussed using the calculated layer-projected density of states.

The main intention of the current paper is to characterize certain properties of *-conformal Ricci solitons on non-coKähler (𝜅, 𝜇)-almost coKähler manifolds. At first, we find that there does not exist *-conformal Ricci soliton if the potential vector field is the Reeb vector field θ. We also prove that the non-coKähler (𝜅, 𝜇)-almost coKähler manifolds admit *-conformal Ricci solitons if the potential vector field is the infinitesimal contact transformation. It is also studied that there does not exist *-conformal gradient Ricci solitons on the said manifolds. An example has been constructed to verify the obtained results.

Purpose: To report the use of multiband accelerated echo-planar imaging (EPI) for resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI) to achieve rapid high temporal resolution at 3T compared to conventional EPI. Materials and Methods: rs-fMRI data were acquired from 20 healthy right-handed volunteers by using three methods: conventional single-band gradient-echo EPI acquisition (Data 1), multiband gradient-echo EPI acquisition with 240 volumes (Data 2) and 480 volumes (Data 3). Temporal signal-to-noise ratio (tSNR) maps were obtained by dividing the mean of the time course of each voxel by its temporal standard deviation. The resting-state sensorimotor network (SMN) and default mode network (DMN) were estimated using independent component analysis (ICA) and a seed-based method. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed between the tSNR map, SMN, and DMN from the three data sets for between-group analysis. P < 0.05 with a family-wise error (FWE) correction for multiple comparisons was considered statistically significant. Results: One-way ANOVA and post-hoc two-sample t-tests showed that the tSNR was higher in Data 1 than Data 2 and 3 in white matter structures such as the striatum and medial and superior longitudinal fasciculus. One-way ANOVA revealed no differences in SMN or DMN across the three data sets. Conclusion: Within the adapted metrics estimated under specific imaging conditions employed in this study, multiband accelerated EPI, which substantially reduced scan times, provides the same quality image of functional connectivity as rs-fMRI by using conventional EPI at 3T. Under employed imaging conditions, this technique shows strong potential for clinical acceptance and translation of rs-fMRI protocols with potential advantages in spatial and/or temporal resolution. However, further study is warranted to evaluate whether the current findings can be generalized in diverse settings.

제일원리적 에너지 띠 계산 방법인 전 전자 총 퍼텐셜 선형보강평면파동(all-electron full-potential linearized augmented plane ave) 방법에 일반기울기근사(generalized gradient approximation)를 채용하여 Ag(001) 표면 위에 [110] 방향으로 놓인 Fe 선의 전자구조와 자성을 이론적으로 연구하였다. Fe 선의 원자당 자기모멘트는 $3.02\;{\mu}_B$로 Cu(001) 위에 놓인 Fe[110] 선의 값($2.99\;{\mu}_B$) 보다 약간 컸다. Fe 선의 자기모멘트가 상당히 증가한 것은 이웃한 결합수가 줄어들고 그 결과로 Fe-d 전자상태의 띠폭이 줄어들어 국소화 되고 스핀분리가 증가하였기 때문이다. Fe-d 전자상태의 띠 폭은 약 1.6eV였으며 스핀분리는 약 3.2 eV였다.

We described the above-ground plant species composition and measured a range of soil physico-chemical properties and the composition and size of the soil seed bank in the remnant natural vegetations on the flood plains of the Han River within Seoul, South Korea. We used analysis of variance and multivariate analyses to analyse the data and S${\o}$rensen's similarity index to compare the composition of the vegetation and seed banks. The soils were circum-neutral and composed of mainly sand and silt fractions with a very limited clay component; a gradient based on sand/clay proportions was identified. The soil seed banks varied markedly between- and within-sites and had much greater species diversity than the above-ground vegetation. Two of the major dominants in the vegetation (Miscanthus saccariflorus and Phragmites australis) were found at very low densities in the seed bank. The site differences appeared to be correlated with the sand-clay gradient, suggesting that the soil properties differentially affected seed inputs into the soil, or that the processes than controlled sediment deposition during floods was also important in differentially affecting seed deposition. Lastly, there was relatively little similarity between the vegetation, dominated mainly by perennials, and the seed bank which contained a relatively large proportion of annuals and biennials. This result suggests that after disturbance caused by flooding there is the potential for many other species to colonize. This may impinge on the regeneration potential of the sites and cause concern for the future conservation of these important remnants of natural vegetation.

Background: Abnormal activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) plays an important role in UV-induced wrinkle formation, which is a major dermatological problem. This formation occurs due to the degeneration of the extracellular matrix (ECM). In this study, we investigated the cutaneous photoprotective effects of Ultraflo L treated ginseng leaf (UTGL) in hairless mice. Methods: SKH-1 hairless mice (6 weeks of age) were randomly divided into four groups (8 mice/group). UTGL formulation was applied topically to the skin of the mice for 10 weeks. The normal control group received nonvehicle and was not irradiated with UVB. The UV control (UVB) group received nonvehicle and was exposed to gradient-UVB irradiation. The groups (GA) receiving topical application of UTGL formulation were subjected to gradient-UVB irradiation on $0.5mg/cm^2$ [GA-low (GA-L)] and $1.0mg/cm^2$ [(GA-high (GA-H)] of dorsal skin area, respectively. Results: We found that topical treatment with UTGL attenuated UVB-induced epidermal thickness and impairment of skin barrier function. Additionally, UTGL suppressed the expression of MMP-2, -3, and -13 induced by UVB irradiation. Our results show that topical application of UTGL protects the skin against UVB-induced damage in hairless mice and suggest that UTGL can act as a potential agent for preventing and/or treating UVB-induced photoaging. Conclusion: UTGL possesses sunscreen properties and may exhibit photochemoprotective activities inside the skin of mice. Therefore, UTGL could be used as a potential therapeutic agent to protect the skin against UVB-induced photoaging.

최근 빈번하게 발생하는 노후 필댐의 붕괴 사고로 인해 안전관리에 대한 사회적 관심이 높아지고 있다. 지금까지 국내에서는 설계 당시 보수적인 설계기준에 근거한 설계 홍수량을 기준으로 필댐의 안정성을 단순하게 평가하고 있다. 하지만 해외 주요 국가에서는 사건수 분석 기법과 같은 체계적인 위험도 평가 기법을 도입하여 이미 오랜 기간 동안 필댐을 관리 운영하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 노후화된 국내 필댐의 체계적인 위험도 분석을 위해 사건수 분석 기법을 이용한 미공병단 내부 침식 평가 기법을 적용하여 필댐의 내부 침식에 대한 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률을 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과는 지반공학적 시스템 반응 확률이 결함의 존재 확률과 동수경사의 크기에 가장 큰 영향을 받으며 노후된 필댐의 위험도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있음을 보여준다.

본 연구에서는 대표적인 강자성 금속인 Fe에 비자성 원소가 치환된 비교적 단순한 B2 구조의 FeX(X = Al, Si, Ni, Ga, Ge, Sn) 합금의 자기변형계수를 제일원리계산으로 수행하여 Fe 기반 합금이 희토류 원소 기반 자기변형 물질인 Terfenol을 대체할 수 있는 가능성을 탐색하였다. 계산방법으로 자성 연구에 가장 적합한 것으로 알려져 있는 총퍼텐셜 선형보강 평면파(Full-potential Linearized Augmented Plane Wave; FLAPW) 방법을 사용하였으며 일반화 물매근사(generalized gradient approximation: GGA)을 도입하여 전자 상호간의 교환-상관 퍼텐셜을 기술하였다. B2 구조의 FeX(X = Al, Si, Ni, Ga, Ge, Sn)의 합금들 중에 FeSi와 FeGe은 비자성 상태가, 그 외 나머지 합금은 강자성 상태가 안정된 것으로 계산되었다. FeAl, FeNi, FeGa, FeSn의 자기변형계수 는 각각 -5, +6, -84, -522ppm으로 계산되어 FeSn은 큰 자기변형을 가질 수도 있음을 예측하였다.
