Effect of activation energy and crystallization kinetics of polyethylenes (PEs) on the dynamics and stability has been investigated by changing rheological properties and crystallization rate in film casting process. The effect of changes of these properties has been shown using a typical example of short-chain branching (SCB) in linear polyethylenes. SCBs in linear polymers generally lead to the increase of the flow activation energy, and to the decrease of the crystallization rate, making polymer viscosity lower in the case of equivalent molecular weight. In general, the increment of the crystallinity of polymers under partially crystallized state helps to enhance the process stability by increasing tension, and lower fluid viscoelasticity possesses the stabilizing effect for linear polymers. It has been found that the fluid viscoelasticity plays a key role in the control of process stability than crystallization kinetics which critically depends on the cooling to stabilize the film casting process of short-chain branched polymers operated under the low aspect ratio condition.

본 논문에서는 한 개의 선형 제약식 하에서 의사결정변수가 상한 값을 갖는 오목 함수 최소화 문제를 다룬다. 제시된 분지 한계 해법은 단체를 분할 단위로 사용하였다. 오목함수를 가장 단단하게 하한추정하는 볼록덮개함수를 단체 상에서 유일하게 구할 수 있기 때문이다. 분지가 일어날 때마다 후보 단체로부터 1 차원 낮은 2 개의 하위 단체들이 생성된다. 이 때 후보 단체에 포함되어 있던 가능해 집합은 각각의 하위 단체로 분할된다. 한계 연산 절차는 선형인 볼록 덮개 함수를 목적 함수로 하는 선형계획법을 부문제로 정의하고 해를 구한다. 부문제의 최적 목적함수 값으로부터 최적 오목목적함수의 하한과 상한을 갱신하고, 원문제의 최적해를 포함하지 않는 단체들을 고려 대상에서 제외시킨다. 본 해법의 최대 장점은 하위 단체로 분할될수록 부문제들의 크기가 점점 작아진다는데 있다. 이것은 한계 연산의 계산량이 줄어든다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구의 결과는 배낭 제약식 유형의 제약식 하에서의 오목 함수 최소화 문제의 해법을 개발하는데 응용될 수 있을 것이다.

The wrinkling of thin sheet metal induced by compressive instability is one of major defects in sheet metal forming processes. compressive instability is influence by many factors such as mechanical properties of the sheet material geometry of the sheet contact conditions and plastic anisotropy. The analysis of compressive instability in a plastically deforming body is rather difficult because the effects of the above-mentioned factors are rather complex and the instability behavior may show swide variations even for small deviations of the factors. in this work the bifurcation theory is introduced for the finite elemental analysis of the instability behavior of a thin sheet with initially sound geometry and property. All the above-mentioned factors are conveniently considered by the finite element method. The instability limit is found by introducing a criterion scheme into the incremental analysis and the post-bifurcation behavior is analyzed by introducing the branching scheme. Wrinkling initiation and growth in the deep drawing process are analyzed.

This research study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of different rice cultivars in abnormal temperature conditions (low temperature) for ripening period abnormalities, and to investigate the physiological causes behind the abnormalities. Four Korean high quality japonica-type rice cultivars, Jinbu (JB), Junamjosaeng (JJ), Geumyoung (GY), Hwawang (HW) were used in the experiment. The following day after flowering, they were then moved into two phytotrons under natural daylight with 65% RH but controlled at different temperatures - one at $19/29^{\circ}C$ (night/day) and the other at $13/23^{\circ}C$ as the low - temperature study on ripening. For the cultivars at $13/23^{\circ}C$ (low temperature study), JB and JJ had a ripening rate of 93% which is similar to the ripening rates of cultivars at $19/29^{\circ}C$ at 45 days after heading (DAH). In contrast, GY and HW recorded lower ripening rates of 86% and 57% respectively. However, when the cultivars at $13/23^{\circ}C$ were harvested at 61 DAH (when the accumulated temperature reached $1100^{\circ}C$), the difference in ripening rates compared to the 4 cultivars of $19/29^{\circ}C$ harvested at 45 DAH was not obvious (JB 94%, JJ 97%, GY 97%, HW 88%). Starch content showed little difference among the 4 cultivars at different temperature conditions while amylose content was higher for cultivars at $13/23^{\circ}C$ compared to those at $19/29^{\circ}C$. In addition, the enzyme activities of starch biosynthesis were about 5~10 days slower in cultivars at $13/23^{\circ}C$ compared to cultivars at $19/29^{\circ}C$. The grain-filling rate showed highly significant correlations with the enzyme activities of Sucrose synthase ($R^2=0.70^{***}$), ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase ($R^2=0.63^{***}$), UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase ($R^2=0.36^{***}$), Starch synthase ($R^2=0.51^{***}$), and Starch branching enzyme ($R^2=0.59^{***}$). Among the enzymes, Sucrose synthase activity had the highest correlation coefficient with grain-filling rate. In conclusion, the activity of enzymes such as Sucrose synthase, UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase, ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase, Starch synthase, Starch branching enzyme in starch biosynthesis is proven to be highly related to the grain filling process. Notably, the decrease in the activity of Sucrose synthase and Starch branching enzyme and the late increase in ADP glucose pyrophosphorylase activity at low temperature in the ripening stage are considered to be disadvantageous as they delay ripening and increased amylose content.

Shoot branching is an essential agronomic trait that impacts on plant architecture and yield. Shoot branching is determined by two independent steps: axillary meristem formation and axillary bud outgrowth. Although several genes and regulatory mechanism have been studied with respect to shoot branching, the roles of chromatin-remodeling factors in the developmental process have not been reported in rice. We previously identified a chromatin-remodeling factor OsVIL2 that controls the trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3) at target genes. In this study, we report that loss-of-function mutants in OsVIL2 showed a phenotype of reduced tiller number in rice. The reduction was due to a defect in axillary bud (tiller) outgrowth rather than axillary meristem initiation. Analysis of the expression patterns of the tiller-related genes revealed that expression of OsTB1, which is a negative regulator of bud outgrowth, was increased in osvil2 mutants. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that OsVIL2 binds to the promoter region of OsTB1 chromatin in wild-type rice, but the binding was not observed in osvil2 mutants. Tiller number of double mutant osvil2 ostb1 was similar to that of ostb1, suggesting that osvil2 is epistatic to ostb1. These observations indicate that OsVIL2 suppresses OsTB1 expression by chromatin modification, thereby inducing bud outgrowth.

Objective : During the trans-condylar or trans-jugular approach for the lesion of cranio-cervical junction(CCJ), its necessary to identify the accurate locations of vertebral artery(VA), internal jugular vein(IJV) and its related lower cranial nerves. These neurovascular structures can also be damaged during the operation for vascular tumor or traumatic aneurysm around extra-jugular foramen, because of their changed locations. To reduce the neurovascular injury at the operation for CCJ, morphometric relationship of its surrounding neurovascular structures based on the tip of the transverse process of atlas(C1 TP), were studied. Materials & Methods : Using 10 adult formalin fixed cadavers, tip of mastoid process(MT) and TPs of atlas and axis were exposed bilaterally after removal of occipital and posterior neck muscles. Using standard caliper, the distances were measured from the C1 TP to the following structures : 1) exit point of VA from C1 transverse foramen, 2) branching point of muscular artery from VA, 3) entry point of VA into posterior atlanto-occipital membrane(AOM), 4) branching point of C-1 nerve. In addition, the distances were measured from the mid-portion of the posterior arch of atlas to the entry point of the VA into AOM and to the exit point of the VA from C1 transverse foramen. After removal of the ventrolateral neck muscles, neurovascular structures were exposed in the extra-jugular foraminal region. Distances were then measured from the C1 TP to the following structures : 1) just extra-jugular foraminal IJV and lower cranial nerves, 2) MT and branching point of facial nerve in parotid gland. In addition, distance between MT and branching point of facial nerve was measured. Results : The VA was located at the mean distance of 12mm(range, 10.5-14mm) from the C1 transverse foramen and entered into the AOM at the mean distance of 24mm(range, 22.8-24.4mm) from the C1 TP. The mean distance from the mid portion of the C1 posterior arch was 20.6mm(range, 19.1-22.3mm) to the entry point of the VA into AOM and 38.4mm(range, 34-42.4mm) to the exit point of the VA from C1 transverse foramen. Muscular artery branched away from the posterior aspect of the transverse portion of VA below the occipital condyle at the mean distance of 22.3mm(range, 15.3-27.5mm) from the C1 TP. The C-1 nerve was identified in all specimens and ran downward through the ventroinferior surface of the transverse segment of VA and branched at the mean distance of 20mm(range, 17.7-20.3mm) from the C1 TP. The IJV was located at the mean distance of 6.7mm(range, 1-13.4mm) ventromedially from the lateral surface of the C1 TP. The XI cranial nerve ran downward on the lateral surface of the IJV at the mean distance of 5mm(range, 3-7.5mm) from the C1 TP. Both IX and X cranial nerves were located in the soft tissue between the medial aspect of the internal carotid artery(ICA) and the medial aspect of the IJV at the mean distance of 15.3mm(range, 13-24mm) and 13.7mm(range, 11-15.4mm) from the C1 TP, respectively. The IX cranial nerve ran downward ventroinferiorly crossing the lateral aspect of the ICA. The X cranial nerve ran downward posteroinferior to the IX cranial nerve and descended posterior to the ICA. The XII cranial nerve was located between the posteroinferior aspect of the IX cranial nerve and the posterior aspect of the ICA at the mean distance of 13.3mm(range, 9-15mm) ventromedially from the C1 TP. The distance between MT and C1 TP was 17.4mm(range, 12.5-23.9mm). The VII cranial nerve branched at the mean distance of 10.2mm(range, 6.8-15.3mm) ventromedially from the MT and at the mean distance of 17.3mm(range, 13-21mm) anterosuperiorly from the C1 TP. Conclusion : This study facilitates an understanding of the microsurgical anatomy of CCJ and may help to reduce the neurovascular injury at the surgery around CCJ.

Evaluation of rolling contact fatigue damage as well as material development for roll of rolling mill is being studied until quite recently. In this paper, a focus has been imposed on evaluating the rolling contact fatigue damage. In order for this, the accumulating process of rolling contact damage using the ferritic, pearlitic and bainitic DCI has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique. The main finds are; 1) The graphite in DCI is considered to be a cause of interfering in the redistribution of stress. Eventually, it results in the branching of crack. 2) The evaluation of rolling contact fatigue damage can be estimated in terms of the change of residual stress and/or a half-value breadth on surface during rolling contact.

The tests of stress corrosion cracking in structural carbon steel were carried out under the conditions of acid fog and general water. As the result of measurement SCC rupture time under acid fog was observed to be much shorter than that of general water at the same stress level. Therefore, acid fog drops the SCC strength in structural carbon steel due to strong corrosion. In the SCC process by acid fog, crack initiation was caused by pit corrosion and local stress concentration, and distinctive feature of crack growth shows branching since crack grows to the corrosion direction. Moreover, corrosion products were observed by clevage corrosion on the crack surfaces.
