  • 본 연구에서는 레이놀즈응력모형을 이용하여 매끄러운 하상-거친 하상의 횡방향 연속구조를 갖는 개수로 흐름을 수치모의하였다. 개발된 모형을 이용하여 평균유속 및 난류량을 계산하고 기존의 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 레이놀즈응력모형이 매끄러운 하상-거친 하상의 횡방향 연속구조를 갖는 개수로 흐름에서의 평균유속과 난류구조를 비교적 유사하게 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 이차흐름 벡터도를 계산한 결과 매끄러운 하상에서는 상향류가, 거친 하상에서는 하향류가 나타나는 격자형 이차흐름이 발생하였으며, 이와 같은 격자형 이차흐름은 평균유속 및 난류량 분포에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 와도 방정식의 각 항을 비교하여 개수로 흐름에서의 이차흐름의 성인(成因)을 분석하였다.

  • Major human Nucleoside diphosphate kinases (NDPKs) exist as hetero-oligomers, consisting of NDPK-A and NDPK-B, rather than homo-oligomer. To investigate their biological function depending on the oligomeric structure in vivo, we characterized the biochemical properties of cellular NDPK. Cellular NDPKs, which are made up of a unique combination of isoforms, were purified from human erythrocyte and placenta. We found that cellular NDPK and recombinant isoforms NDPKs have their own distinct biochemical properties in autophosphorylation, stability toward heat or urea, and DNA binding. Cellular NDPK was found to have unique characteristics rather than the expected additive properties of recombinant isoforms. The mutations in the dimeric interface of NDPK-B (R34G, N69H or K135L) caused defective DNA binding and simultaneously reduced the enzymatic stability These results suggest that the oligomeric interaction could play a major role in the stability of catalytic domain and might be related to the regulation of various cellular functions of NDPK.

  • 국내 중소규모 건축구조물 기초에 적용 사례가 없는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 신소재 재료로 구성된 셀룰러 기초 매트리스가 건축구조물 기초 공법의 대안으로 정착되기 위해서는 국내 지반 및 현장 조건에 맞게 개량된 공법 개발 및 검증이 필요하다. 본 연구를 통해서 셀룰러 기초 매트리스의 기초적인 설계 및 시공 방법을 제시하였다. 셀룰러 기초 매트리스의 기초보강효과는 연약지반 대상으로 안정성 평가와 검증이 되어야 하기에 국내 중소규모 건축구조물 기초에 적용 실적이 풍부한 소일백공법과 성능 비교 평가를 수행하였다. 매트리스 보강 후 평판재하시험 결과, 원지반과 비교하여 침하량은 38.4% 감소, 지지력은 159% 증가하였으며, 소일백공법과는 동일한 지반보강효과 및 지반안정성을 확인하였다.

  • Recently, nonthermal bioplasma has been attracted by researchers due to their potentials to modulate cellular functions resulting in changes of biomolecular electron band structures as well as cell morphologies. We have investigated the secondary electron emission characteristics from the surface of the erythrocyte, i.e., red blood cell (RBC) with and without the nonthermal bioplasma treatment in morphological and biomolecular aspects. The morphologies have been controlled by osmotic pressure and biomolecular structures were changed by well known reactive oxygen species. Ion-induced secondary electron emission coefficient have been measured by using gamma-focused ion beam (${\gamma}$-FIB) system, based on the quantum mechanical Auger neutralization theory. Our result suggests that the nonthermal bioplasma treatment on biological cells could result in change of the secondary electron emission coefficient characterizing the biomolecular valence band electron energy structures caused by the cell morphologies as well as its surface charge distributions.

  • Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) are ectopic lymphoid tissues involved in chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and cancer. They exhibit almost all the characteristics of secondary lymphoid organs (SLO), which are associated with adaptive immune responses; as such, they contain organized B-cell follicles with germinal centers, distinct areas containing T cells and dendritic cells, high endothelial venules, and lymphatics. In this review, we briefly describe the formation of SLO, and describe the cellular subsets and molecular cues involved in the formation and maintenance of TLS. Finally, we discuss the associations of TLS with human diseases, especially autoimmune diseases, and the potential for therapeutic targeting.

  • In this work we report methods of formation of three-dimensional structures of particles in a liquid crystal host. We found that, under the appropriate conditions, the particles are captured and dragged by the moving isotropic/nematic front during the phase transition process. This movement of the particles can be enhanced significantly or suppressed drastically with the influence of an electric field and/or with changing the conditions of the phase transition, such as the rate of cooling. As a result, a wide variety of particle structures can be obtained ranging from a fine-grained cellular structure to stripes of varying periods to a course-grained "root" structures. Changing the properties of the materials, such as the size and density of the particles and the surface anchoring of the liquid crystal at the particle surface, can also be used to control the morphology of the three-dimensional particle network and adjust the physical properties of the resulting dispersions. These particle structures may be used to affect the performance of LCD's much as polymers have been used in the past.

  • Fibrobacter succinogenes, a Gram-negative, anaerobic ruminal bacterium is a major fibre digesting species in the rumen. It intensively degrades plant cell walls by an erosion type of mechanism, burrowing its way through the complex matrix of cellulose and hemicellulose with the release of digestible and undigested cell wall fragments. The enzymes involved in this process include a combination of glucanases, xylanases, arabinofuranosidase(s) and esterases. The genome of the bacterium has been sequenced and this has revealed in excess of 100 putative glycosyl hydrolase, pectate lyase and carbohydrate esterase genes, which is greater than the numbers reported present in other major cellulolytic organisms for which genomes have been sequenced. Modelling of the amino acid sequences of two glycanases, CedA and EGB, by reference to crystallized homologs has enabled prediction of the major features of their tertiary structures. Two dimensional gel electrophoresis in conjunction with mass spectroscopy has permitted the documentation of proteins over expressed in F. succinogenes grown on cellulose, and analysis of the cell surfaces of mutant strains unable to bind to cellulose has enabled the identification of candidate proteins with roles in adhesion to the plant cell wall substrate, the precursor to cellulose biodegradation.

  • To improve the quality of the product and the cost efficiency, the joining of A356 alloy to an Al-18wt%Si alloys has been performed by centrifugal casting. The influence of the mold preheating temperature, the pouring temperature and the rotational velocity of the mold on the microstructures of the shell in the centrifugal casting was investigated using the experimental and simulation methods. In the present study, the cellular automaton (CA) technique and the finite volume method (FVM) were adopted to simulate the evolution of the macro structures and to calculate the temperature profiles, respectively. The evolution of the microstructures was also simulated using a modified cellular automaton (MCA) model. The optimal rotational speed of the mold for obtaining the sound shape of the shell was estimated experimentally to be over 1200 rpm. For the uniform microstructure, the outer shell needs to be cast with higher preheated mold temperature and lower pouring temperature, and the melt was poured at lower temperature in the inner shell. In order to obtain the sound shape of the joining, the different materials were poured simultaneously.

  • 유선 Relay Station(RS)은 셀룰러 시스템의 기지국(Base Station; BS)과 Radio-over-Fiber(RoF) 형태로 연결되어 시스템의 용량을 증대시키고 음영 지역을 축소시키는 역할을 수행할 수 있다. 무선 멀티홉 시스템과는 달리 별도의 대역으로 BS와 RS 간 신호 전송을 함에 따라, 주파수 재사용으로 인한 간섭의 영향을 크게 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 RS를 활용하는 셀룰러 시스템에서 안테나 어레이를 부가적으로 사용하는 경우 전송 용량 측면에서의 이득을 산출하고, 셀 내에 배치하는 안테나 어레이의 구성에 따른 성능 변화를 분석한다. 특히 성능 향상을 최대화하는 RS 위치의 선정, 주어진 안테나 원소 개수에 따른 배치 형태 결정, 안테나 원소의 개수 증가에 따른 성능 이득을 실험적으로 평가함으로써, 유선 RS와 안테나 어레이의 통합 활용 방안을 제시한다.

  • The effect of welding condition on the microstructures of the weld metal in A7N01 welded by $CO_2$ laser was investigated. The number of ripples was increased with decreasing power and increasing welding speed. In the bead without ripple lines, the subgrain microstructures distribution from the fusion line toward the center of the bead were in the order of cellular, dendritic and equiaxed dendrite. However, in the bead with ripple lines, cellular and dendritic were formed between the fusion boundary and the ripple line. Inaddition, those structures were also observed between the ripple line. Equiaxed dendrites were formed only at the center line region. Cellular and dendritics formed near the ripple line were larger than those formed near the fusion boundary. The cooling rates estimated by the dendrite arm spacing were in the range of 200 to 1150oC/s. Cooling rate was increased with decreasing the power and increasing the welding speed. Mg and Zn segregated at the boundaries of cellulars and dendritics, Mg was segregated more than Zn. The segregation of Mg and Zn decreased with increasing cooling rate. Hardness of the weld metal was lower than that of the base metal in all welding conditions and increased as the cooling rate increased.
