The propose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the variuos antiseptic solutions and distilled water on physical properties of endodontic gutta-percha cone. The antiseptic solutions were 70% isoprophyl alcohol, 5% NaOCl and 2.5% NaOCl, as control gutta-percha cones, did not stored antiseptic solution was used. Observation periods were 1, 5, 10, 20, and 30 days. In each group,. the 15 gutta-percha cones used. A tensile strength and elongation rate measurements were performed with Instron (Instron 4501), cross - head speed was set 10 inch / min. The data were statistically analyzed and the results were as followed. 1. The tensile strength of the gutta-percha cones, stored in distilled water, were slightly decreased (p<0.05). Elongation rate was not significantly different 2. The tensile strength of the gutta-percha cones, stored in 70% isopropyl alcohol, were increased (p<0.01) except 1 day group. 3. The tensile strength of the gutta-percha cone, stored in 2.5% NaOCl, were decreased (p<.0.05). Elongation rate significantly decreased (p<0.01). 4. The tensile strength of the gutta-percha cone, stored in 5% NaOCl, were decreased (p<0.05). Elongation rate significantly decreased (p<0.01). These results showed that the changes of physical properties (tensile strength and elongation rate) in gutta-percha cone were developed after a day' when gutta-percha cone were stored at 70% isopropyl alcohol, 2.5% or 5% NaOCl. So, It was concluded that gutta-percha cone must have been used at least within one day, when they were stored at the above antiseptics. I thought that the study of substantial effects on endodontic treatment due to changes of physical properties in gutta-percha cone will be needed.

The time of seed collection is regarded as one of major concerns to obtain sound seeds. The physical and germinal aspects of Cryptomeria japonica D. Don (Taxodiaceae) seeds were analyzed to determine the optimum harvesting time in Korea. Cones were picked every 10 days from the $30^{th}$ of July to the $30^{th}$ of October in both 2005 and 2006. Seeds were collected from picked cones. Seed size and weight were not significant in two consecutive years. The 1,000-seed weight was 3.3 g for cones picked at the $18^{th}$ of August and 5.3 g for cones picked at the $30^{th}$ of September. The size of seeds was increased as the time of collection from the $18^{th}$ of August to the $30^{th}$ of September: from 19.3 mm to 21.3 mm in length and from 15.8 mm to 18.5 mm in width. Average germination rates in 2005 was 18.3% and 19.6% in 2006. The highest germination rate was 34.3% from seeds collected at the $30^{th}$ of September in 2005. In 2006, the highest germination rate was 31.7% for seeds collected at the same date as the 2005 seeds. After the end of September, germination rate was decreased in both years. The results implied that the best cone picking time for Korean C. japonica seeds is around the end of September.

Objectives : The warm needling technique is the method combining the effects of acupuncture needle with those of moxibustion. We need to standardize the characteristics of the warm needling technique, in order to get more systematic and objective results in operation and effects and then get more clinical abilities in these fields. Methods : In this study, using labview system on the warm needling technique, we measured and compared partial temperature changes according to the kind of needle. We studied relations of moxa cones of various sizes with the peak combustion temperature. Results and Conclusions: When we measured the warm needling's partial temperature, temperature measured at 1 and 2 cm below the head, according to the kind of needle, gold needle got the higher result on the peak than SS304 stainless steel needle. In the case of combustion of the moxa cones, cones weighing 0.4 g and 0.8 g, respectively, and the apex ignition method with gold needle showed the higher result than the apex ignition method with stainless steel needle, when we measured the effective stimulus time at 2 cm below the head and the mean temperature during the effective stimulus time. Although more research to standardize the characteristics of the warm needling technique will be needed, we suggest, according to these results, that warm needling of gold needle combined with moxa cone of 0.4 or 0.8 g is effective.

Pinus densiflora, the Korean Red Pine, is the predominant tree species of the cool, temperate forests of northeast Asia, occurring in pure stands across Korea, Japan, and parts of northern China and Russia. Pinus densiflora leaves, pollen, and bark have been widely used for traditional medicine, or edible purposes. However, pine cones contain many bioactive phytochemicals, but they are rarely used as natural raw materials. This study was conducted to evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of pine cone extracts and its possbility of natural sources were evaluated. Pine cones were extracted with 80% methanol, concentrated and then partitioned with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was used as a sample. The Pine cone Ethyl acetate Fraction (PEF) showed no toxicity to RAW 264.7 cells at a concentration of less than $50{\mu}g/ml$. PEF inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO) in RAW 264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Also, It suppressed the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and transcription of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}B$). These results suggest that pine cones can be used as an effective natural material for anti-inflammatory agent.

Tracers are one of the critical factors for improving the performance of velocimetry. Silver and gold nanoparticles as tracers with localized surface-plasmon resonance are analyzed for their scattering properties. The scattering cross sections, angular distribution of the scattering, and equivalent scattering cross sections from 53° and 1.5° half-angle cones at 532 nm are calculated, with particle sizes in the nanoscale range. The 53° and 1.5° half-angle cones used as examples correspond respectively to the collection cones for microscope objectives in microscopic measurements and camera lenses in macroscopic measurements. We find that there is a transitional size near 35 nm when comparing the equivalent scattering cross sections between silver and gold nanoparticles in water at 532 nm. The equivalent scattering cross section of silver nanoparticles is greater or smaller than that of gold nanoparticles when the particle radius is greater or smaller than 35 nm respectively. When the radius of the plasmonic nanoparticles is smaller than about 44 nm, their equivalent scattering cross sections are at least ten times that of TiO₂ nanoparticles. Plasmonic nanoparticles are promising for velocimetry applications.

Pine trees, which account for 23% of the forested area of the Republic of Korea, are highly vulnerable to fire in comparison to broad-leaved trees due to the presence of consistent water tube sections throughout the year and resin that is composed of approximately 20% oil. In addition, the pattern of forest fires is determined by weather, topographic conditions, and fluctuation in moisture content. Therefore, when fire breaks out in pine tree forests during the dry season (January to March), it is difficult to extinguish, and it quickly spreads. In this study, the combustion characteristics of pine needles, pine cones, and pine branches in the water tube sections of living pine trees were compared and analyzed in accordance with the moisture content as per the ISO 5660-1. The monthly moisture content was analyzed from January to March, and it was found to be the lowest in March, with 53.6% for pine needles, 51.9% for pine branches, and 10.9% for pine cones. In particular, pine cones were more vulnerable to fire as compared to pine needles and pine branches because their moisture content was more than five times lower than that of pine needles and branches. The ignition time, which affects the speed of flame propagation, was the most rapid in March, and the fastest ignition time was for pine cones, at 19 seconds, followed by 34 seconds for pine needles, and 256 seconds for pine branches. The pine branches were the last to be ignited due to the effect of density, according to the thickness and specific gravity of the specimen. The peak heat release rate, which is a measurable index of fire intensity, was analyzed for pine cones and found to be 184.28 kW/m² , while the mean effective heat of combustion was 19.79 MJ/kg, and the total heat release rate was 39.7 MJ/m² , and these values were higher than those of pine branches and pine needles. Thus, we determined that the flame propagation speed and fire intensity according to the moisture content can be used to evaluate the risk of fire to the water tube section of pine trees. It is suggested that because of the combustion characteristics of the pine cone in March, that is when the forest is most vulnerable to fires.

본 연구는 레진모형 만곡근관에서 여러 가지 엔진구동형 Ni-Ti 파일로 근관성형 후, 같은 경사도를 가진 수종의 거타퍼챠콘을 적용시 근관내 삽입깊이에 대해 비교, 분석해보고자 시행하였다. 레진 모형근관으로 J자의 근관형태가 재현된 ENDO-TRAINING BLOCK 50개를 사용하여 각각 10개씩 1) ProFile .04 taper #25, 2) ProFile .06 taper #25, 3) ProTaper F2, 4) HEROShaper .04 taper #25, 5) HEROShaper .06 taper #25 파일로 최종 근관성형 하였다. 거타퍼챠콘은 META (META Biomed, Korea), Sure-Endo(SUREDENT, Korea) 그리고 DiaDent(DiaDent Group International Inc., Canada)의 .04 및 .06 경사도의 콘을 사용하였으며 선택된 거타퍼챠콘의 직경 및 경사도를 측정하였다. ProFile과 HEROShaper로 성형한 레진블록에는사용된 Ni-Ti 파일의 경사도에 맞는 제조회사별 .04및 .06경사도의 거타퍼챠콘을 10개씩 근관에 적용하였으며, ProTaper로 성형한 레진블록에는 경사도와 무관하게 제조회사별 .04 및 .06 경사도의 거타퍼챠콘을 10개씩 적용하였다. 거타퍼챠콘을 근관내 적용한 상태에서 스캐너를 이용하여 이미지를 얻은 후 이미지 분석 프로그램을 사용하여 근첨에서 거타퍼챠콘 첨부까지의 거리를 측정하였고 다음의 결과를 얻었다. HEROShaper를 이용하여 근관성형 한 경우 ProFile 및 ProTaper보다 거타퍼챠콘의 근관내 적합성이 우수하게 나타났으며, 근관성형시 .04 taper HEROShaper로 근관성형 후에는 META 거타퍼챠콘 및 Sure-Endo 거타퍼챠콘을, .06 taper HEROShaper로 근관성형 후에는 DiaDent 거타퍼챠콘을 마스터콘으로 사용시 근관내 적합성이 우수하게 나타났다. 따라서 근관성형 후 사용한 Ni-Ti 파일과 같은 경사도를 가진 거타퍼챠콘이 근관에 알맞게 위치되는 것은 아니며 근관충전시 적절한 마스터콘의 선택이 필요함을 시사한다.

Notwithstanding a considerable body of references in the literature on the buckling response of conical shell structures, it seems imperative to provide further insight on the buckling response of locally imperfect steel cones. This paper contains different simulations including non-linear FE analysis and discusses the influence of dent imperfection on the buckling load of these structures subject to external pressure. Data of the present work are evaluated against available experimental results, codes and recommendations and the effect of the local damages is exhaustively set forth. It is also found that the employed FE program can reliably predict the structural response of locally damaged conical shells.
