  • 본 연구는, 픽사의 에 나타난 부모와 자녀 캐릭터 사이의 갈등구도를, MBTI의 유형역동이라는 관점에서 비교 분석하고자 했다. 이에, 캐릭터의 성격유형과 심리기능의 위계를 추론하고, 유형역동에 의한 갈등과 화해의 구조를 분석하였다. 작품 분석을 통해 도출된 결론은: (1) 부모의 사고기능이 자녀의 직관기능을 구속하는 구조로, '현실과 가능성의 충돌'로 은유됨. (2) 보완 역할 캐릭터의 외향적 심리기능이, 결핍 캐릭터의 미발달된 3차기능을 보완하면서, 유형발달에 기여함. (3) 에서는, 갈등주체에 의한 직접적 단방향의 보완을 이루며, (4) 에서는, 갈등주체가 아닌 거울캐릭터에 의한 간접적 쌍방향의 상호보완을 이루는 방법론의 차이를 보인다.

  • When the vibration troubles occur on the ship structure during the sea trial, the rectification work is very restricted because of in-situ limitation. Usually the finite element method is used to improve vibration characteristics of the structure, but it takes lots of time and effort in modeling the structure and adjusting the finite element model in order to consider appropriate boundary conditions of a complex ship structure. Therefore, experimental methods have been in general suggested to obtain proper countermeasures without time-consuming in modeling. In this paper, FRF(frequency response function) synthesis method is applied to estimate natural frequency of the modified ship structure, which is obtained from experimental and numerical methods.

  • We present a theoretical formalism by which the global and the local mass functions of dark matter substructures (dark subhalos) can be analytically estimated. The global subhalo mass function is defined to give the total number density of dark subhalos in the universe as a function of mass, while the local subhalo mass function counts only those sub halos included in one individual host halo. We develop our formalism by modifying the Press-Schechter theory to incorporate the followings: (i) the internal structure of dark halos; (ii) the correlations between the halos and the subhalos; (iii) the subhalo mass-loss effect driven by the tidal forces. We find that the resulting (cumulative) subhalo mass function is close to a power law with the slope of ${\~}$ -1, that the subhalos contribute approximately $10\%$ of the total mass, and that the tidal stripping effect changes the subhalo mass function self-similarly, all consistent with recent numerical detections.

  • In this paper, the estimation of the structure of a logic circuit under test is made from the observation of the input-output correlation function by use of M-sequence, from which we can estimate whether or not any fault exist in the logic circuit. Especially, investigation was made in case of the 2_stage logic circuit. We checked theoretically the sequence of correlation function, and we have shown that the correlation function is a function of period of M-sequence only, land the appearing number of correlation function in a period is a constant value depending on the logic circuit only. And by computer simulations we have shown that the structure of the circuit under test can be estimated from the observation of sequence of correlation function.

  • High temperature requirement A (HtrA) and its homologues constitute the HtrA familiy proteins, a group of heat shock-induced serine proteases. Bacterial HtrA proteins perform crucial functions with regard to protein quality control in the periplasmic space, functioning as both molecular chaperones and proteases. In contrast to other bacterial quality control proteins, including ClpXP, ClpAP, and HslUV, HtrA proteins contain no regulatory components or ATP binding domains. Thus, they are commonly referred to as ATP-independent chaperone proteases. Whereas the function of ATP-dependent chaperone-proteases is regulated by ATP hydrolysis, HtrA exhibits a PDZ domain and a temperature-dependent switch mechanism, which effects the change in its function from molecular chaperone to protease. This mechanism is also related to substrate recognition and the fine control of its function. Structural and biochemical analyses of the three HtrA proteins, DegP, DegQ, and DegS, have provided us with clues as to the functional regulation of HtrA proteins, as well as their roles in protein quality control at atomic scales. The objective of this brief review is to discuss some of the recent studies which have been conducted regarding the structure and function of these HtrA proteins, and to compare their roles in the context of protein quality control.

  • We present a new description of envelope-function equation of the superlattice (SL). The SL wave function and corresponding effective-mass equation are formulated in terms of a linear combination of Bloch states of the constituent material with smaller band gap. In this envelope-function formalism, we review the fundamental concept on the motion of a wave packet in the SL structure subjected to steady and uniform electric fields F. The review confirms that the average of SL crystal momentums K = ($k_x,k_y,q$), where ($K_x,k_y$) are bulk inplane wave vectors and q SL wave vector, included in a wave packet satisfies the equation of motion = $_0+Ft/h$; and that the velocity and acceleration theorems provide the same type of group velocity and definition of the effective mass tensor, respectively, as in the Bulk. Finally, Schlosser and Marcus's method for the band theory of metals has been by Altarelli to include the interface-matching condition in the variational calculation for the SL structure in the multi-band envelope-function approximation. We re-examine this procedure more thoroughly and present variational equations in both general and reduced forms for SLs, which agrees in form with the proposed envelope-function formalism. As an illustration of the application of the present work and also for a brief investigation of effects of band-parameter difference on the subband energy structure, we calculate by the proposed variational method energies of non-strained $GaAs/Al_{0.32}Ga_{0.68}As$ and strained $In_{0.63}Ga_{0.37}As/In_{0.73}Ga_{0.27}As_{0.58}P_{0.42}SLs$ with well/barrier widths of $60{\AA}/500{\AA}$ and 30${\AA}/30{\AA}$, respectively.

  • A study was conducted to assess the nutritive value of two diets based on a low-energy variety of wheat, RAC C1 and their effects on intestinal mucosal structure and function in broiler chickens. The diets were fed with or without microbial enzyme supplement to male and female broiler chickens. The digesta viscosity was reduced (p<0.001) through supplementation with a microbial enzyme in male and female chicks. Enzyme supplementation also improved the dietary apparent metabolizable energy content (p<0.001) and had slight but non-significant positive effects on chick growth and feed conversion ratio. Intestinal mucosal structure and enzyme function were not affected by microbial enzyme supplement. Male chicks consumed more feeds (p<0.001), attained higher final body weight (p<0.001) and were more efficient at feed utilization (p<0.01) than the female chicks. Except for duodenal villus surface area and ileal protein content, intestinal mucosal structure and enzyme activities were similar between the two sexes and dietary treatment groups. The study showed an improvement in the nutritive value of the diets in the presence of the microbial enzyme supplement.

  • A procedure to determine the realizable optimal positions of rigid supports is suggested to get a maximum fundamental natural frequency. a measured frequency response function based substructure-coupling technique is used to model the supported structure. The optimization procedure carries out the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis with respect to the stiffness of supports. As a result of such stiffness optimization, the optimal rigid-support positions are shown to be determined by choosing the position of the largest stiffness. The optimally determined support conditions are verified to satisfy the eigenvalue limit theorem. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the optimal support positions of a plate model are investigated. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can effectively find out the optimal support conditions of the structure just based on the measured frequency response functions without any use of numerical model of the structure.
