The present study addresses experimental results to investigate the details of the near field flow structures produced in the under-expanded, dual, coaxial, swirling, jet. The sonic/supersonic swirling jets are emitted from the sonic inner nozzle and the outer annular nozzle produce the co-swirling and counter swirling against the primary swirling jet, respectively. The interactions between both the secondary annular swirling and primary inner supersonic swirling jets are quantified by the pitot impact and static pressure measurements and visualized by using the Schliern optical method. The experiment is performed for different swirl intensity and pressure ratio. The results obtained show that the secondary co-swirling jet significantly changes the inner under-expanded swirling jet, such as the recirculation zone, pressure distribution, through strong interactions between both the swirling jets and the effects of the secondary counter-swirling jet is similar to the secondary co-swirl jet case.

For the Y5V characteristic MLCC which is very prone to crack, it is important to to find out the basic cause of the crack. After finding out the crack origin, the materials and processes should be developed to remove the crack. The microstructures of the cracks were investigated using the fractographic method for the various types of cracks such as an exterior crack, a cyclic thermal shock crack, and an piezo-electric crack. It was found out that the crack origin was the pore at the end of the Ni inner electrode after bake-out. Even though the three dimensional crack shapes were different, the crack origins were seemed to be similar. The exterior crack could grow from the origin with the aids of residual and applied stress. FEM (finite element method) analysis was used to calculate the stress distribution of residual and applied stress. And the concept of fracture mechanics was applied for the explanation of the crack initiation and propagation from the stresses concentration.

Pathophysiological oxidative stress results in neuronal cell death mainly due to the generation reactive oxygen species (ROS). In low oxygen situation such as hypoxia and ischemia, excessive ROS is generated. Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) is a traditional medicine used for the incipient stroke. In this report we show that CR water extracts $(1\;{\mu}g/ml)$ exhibited protective effects of neuronal cell death in a hypoxic model (2% $O_2/5%\;CO_2,\;37^{\circ}C,$ 3 hr) of cultured rat cortical cells. We further show that CR water extracts significantly reduced the intensity of green fluorescence after staining with $H_2DCF-DA$ on one hour and three days after hypoxic shock and in normoxia as well. Our results indicate that CR water extracts prevent neuronal death by suppressing ROS generation.

The use of electromagnetic energy and non-equilibrium plasma for enhancing ignition and combustion stability is receiving increased attention recently. The conventional technologies have adapted the electrical devices to make the electromagnetic field, which resulted in various safety issues such as high-maintenance, additional high-cost system, electric shock and explosion. Therefore, an electrodeless microwave technology has an advantage for economic and reliability compared with conventional one because of no oxidation. However, the application of microwave has been still limited because of lack of interaction mechanism between flame and microwave. In this study, an experiment was performed with jet diffusion flames induced by microwaves to clarify the effect of microwave on the combustion stability and pollutant emissions. The results show that microwave induced flames enhanced the flame stability and blowout limit because of abundance of radical pool. However, NOx emission was increased monotonically with microwave intensity except 0.2 kW, and soot emission was reduced at the post flame region.

Despite advances in technology, crushing accidents still occur during emergency evacuations of crowded public spaces. To prevent crushing accidents, it is necessary to understand the flow of pedestrians during evacuation scenarios through experiments. Since experiments with humans can generate real accidents, we performed experiments on rodents to approximate human behavior. To trigger an emergency evacuation response, we applied electrical stimulation to the feet of the rodents. Although electrical stimulation has been applied to mice in many experiments, studies on the intensity and pattern of electric stimulation required to evoke a rapid evacuation response in mice is still lacking. In this study, we experimentally investigated how the evacuation flow of mice changes according to the amplitude, event, and duration of electric stimulation.

본 논문에서는 고강도 집속형 초음파의 주파수 특성(파형)에 따른 초음파 공동 현상을 억 제하는 효과를 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 세가지 파형, 즉, 정현파(1 MHz, 5 MPa), 주파수 변조파(10 ㎲ 동안 1 MHz에서 6 MHz까지 선형적으로 증가, 5 MPa), 비대칭 충격파(기 본 주파수 1 MHz, 양압 12 MPa, 음압 -4 MPa)를 고려하였다. 동일한 강도(833 W/㎠)를 가지는 각 초음파에 노출된 초기 반경이 1 ㎛인 물 속에 있는 공기 기포의 반응을Gilmore bubble dynamic model 및 Church's rectified gas diffusion equation을 이용하여 예측하였다. 기포 진동의 크기는, 정현파에 노출된 경우와 비교하여, 주파수 변조된 초음파의 경우 현저히 감소하였고, 비대칭 충격파의 경우 약간 감소함을 볼 수 있었다. 흥미롭게도 주파수 변조파에 대한 기포의 반응은 변조된 초음파의 주파수 성분이 기포의 공진 주파수(3 MHz) 이상에서는 거의 동일하게 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 이 사실은 주파수 변조를 현재의 1 MHz부터 6 MHz까지에서 1 MHz부터 3 MHz까지로 줄여도 유사한 공동 억제 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 암시한다. 실용적으로, 비교적 좁은 밴드 폭을 가지는 범용 초음파 변환기를 이 용하여 초음파의 공동 현상 억제 효과를 얻기 위한 주파수 변조를 구현할 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과는 초음파의 적절한 주파수 성분 조절로 초음파의 공동 현상을 일정 수준 억제할 수 있음을 시사한다.

본 연구는 저산소증에서 반하가 대뇌신경세포에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 $E_18$의 배양 흰쥐 대뇌신경세포를 반하로 전처리한 후, LDH assay와 tryphan blue 염색으로 세포 생존율을 측정하였고, $H_2DCF-DA$, JC-1 염색으로 MMP, ROS 및 RNS 변화를 조사하였다. 이에 반하는 저산소증으로 유발된 대뇌신경세포를 2.5 ${\mu}g/ml$까지 농도의존적으로 세포 생존률을 증가시켰으며, 시간에 따른 생존율을 살펴보면 저산소증 유발 후 1 시간에는 별 차이를 보이지 않았지만 3 일, 5 일 후에는 각각 10.2%, 17.8%로 매우 유의한 증가를 보였다. 저산소증에서 반하가 MMP에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 저산소증 유발직전과 유발 후 1 일, 3 일, 5 일에 JC-1으로 염색하고 미토콘드리아의 염색강도를 측정한 결과 적색형광은 실험군에서 전반적으로 대조군에 비하여 강하게 염색되는 미토콘드리아의 비율을 증가시킨 반면 녹색형광은 대조군과 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 즉 반하가 저산소증으로 유발된 MMP의 소실을 감소시킴을 알 수 있다. 또한 반하는 전반적으로 $H_2DCF-DA$에 염색되는 세포 비율을 현저하게 낮추는 것으로 나타나 저산소증으로 유발된 ROS 및 RNS의 생성을 유의성 있게 감소시켰다. 따라서 반하는 저산소증에서 ROS의 생성을 억제하고 MMP의 소실을 막아 세포의 에너지고갈을 방지함으로서 신경세포를 보호하는 것으로 이해된다.

Tunnel lighting design and operation are both regulated based on luminance in and out of Korea these days. However, domestic tunnel lighting is operated by internal lighting depending on external brightness by using an illuminometer applying the conversion factor on luminance. The purpose of tunnel lighting is to alleviate the visual shock occurring from the rapid change from external brightness to internal brightness when entering a tunnel. However, when looking at the tunnels operated based on an illuminometer, it is not a system where the driver can measure the brightness within his or her viewing angle when entering the tunnel. It is general to install and operate the illuminometer on the roof of an administrative office near the tunnel; however, this method is not structured to connect with the internal lighting by checking the brightness of the viewing scope of the driver, thus is not structured to properly apply the viewing conditions of the driver. Rather, it should be in a method for extracting the luminance value within the viewing scope of the driver pursuant to tunnel lighting standards and in connection with internal lighting. This research seeks to find the difference between operations based on luminance and operations based on intensity of Illuminance in road tunnels through field measuring, and to suggest the necessity of operating based on luminance with the resulting value.

The epithelium of odontogenic cyst seems to be in a specific status of cellular proliferation and cytodifferentiation. With the identification of various genes, which play essential roles in the specific stages of cellular proliferation and differentiation, the cellular conditions of odontogenic cyst epithelium need to be reevaluated. This study aimed to estimate the degree of proliferating, differentiating and apoptotic activities of odontogenic cyst epithelium using antisera of PCNA, Ki-67, MPM-2, transglutaminase C, heat shock protein 70 and $ApopTag$^{(R)}$. method in 19 cases of odontogenic cysts. Cellular changes of the cyst epithelium were measured by intensity of each immunohistochemical staining. Results were as follows: 1. The proliferating activity of the cyst epithelium was slightly lower than that of normal oral mucosal epithelium, with the use of primary antibodies against PCNA, Ki-67, and MPM-2. And the proliferating activity of the epithelium in OKC group was even higher than that of the epithelium in non-OKC group. 2. The odontogenic cysts showed weakly positive reaction with transglutaminase C, but strongly positive reaction with HSP 70. 3. Occasionally, only a few apoptotic cell was observed in the superficial keratin layer of OKC. 4. The hyperplastic cyst epithelium infiltrated with mild inflammatory cells showed diffusely positive reaction with different proliferating factors. From the above results, we presumed that the endogenous proliferating and differentiating activity of the cyst epithelium was slightly lower than that of normal oral mucosal epithelium, and also supposed that the cyst epithelium could be reactivated for the further proliferation by the exogenous factors, such as inflammatory reaction and any chemicophysical irritations.
