The effects of volume fraction (15-30%) of SiC particulate reinforcements on the corrosion behavior of SiCp/7091 Al composites in the 3.5% NaCl solution were studied by electrochemical techniques and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the amount of SiC particulate reinforcements did not cause much difference in the corrosion behavior of SiCp/7091 Al composites but the corrosion rate was proportional to the amount of SiCp reinforcement. And numerous pits and severe dissolution of the matrix was observed probably due to the discontinuities and galvanic effects between Al matrix and SiC reinforcements.

This study aims to manufacture non-sintering cement(NSC) by adding phosphogypsum(PG) and waste lime(WL) to granulated blast furnace slag(GBFS) as sulfate and alkali activators. This study also investigates the pore structure of NSC Matrix. The result of experiment of pore structure properties, showed no considerable difference for total pore volume by cement mixing ratio but shows a large distinction in distribution of pore diameter. On the whole, pore-diameter of paste of NSC show that occupation ratio of pore diameter below 10mm is larger and is smaller than OPC and BFSC at pore diameter of over 10nm. Such a reason is that the hydrate like CSH gel and ettringite formed dense pore structure of NSC matrix.

The tomography has played a key role in tokamak plasma diagnostics for image reconstruction. The Phillips-Tikhonov (P-T) regularization method was attempted in this work to reconstruct cross-sectional phantom images of the plasma by minimizing the gradient between adjacent pixel data. Recent studies about the comparison of the several tomographic reconstruction methods showed that the P-T method produced more accurate results. We have studied existing Laplacian matrix used in Phillips-Tikhonov regularization method and developed modified Laplacian matrix (Modified L). The comparison of the reconstruction result by the modified L and existing L showed that modified L produced more accurate result. The difference was significantly pronounced when a portion of plasma was reconstructed. These results can be utilized in the Edge Plasma diagnostics; especially in divertor diagnostics on tokamak a large impact is expected. In addition, accurate reconstruction results from received data in only one direction were confirmed through phantom test by using P-T method with modified L. These results can be applied to the tangentially viewing pin-hole camera diagnostics on tokamak.

The intramolecular fundamental vibrations of $CH_3CN$ trapped in solid argon matrix have been reinvestigated by means of FT-IR spectroscopy in the spectral range of 4000-500 $cm^{-1}$. By employing a quantum detector, infrared spectra could be obtained at matrix to solute ratio of 10000, allowing the clarification of the peaks due to monomeric species more clearly. Temperature controlled diffusion was initiated to identify the dimeric and polymeric species in terms of difference spectra. The assignments of monomeric and dimeric species are found, in general, to agree with the earlier work performed at higher concentration (Ar/$CH_3CN$ = 1500) using a dispersive spectrometer. Nonetheless the difficulty of minute differences between the earlier infrared and Raman spectroscopic results could be resolved. Moreover, the previously unnotified peaks due to polymeric species have been identified.

In the battery energy storage system, battery cells are connected in series to increase the operating voltage. Due to the difference in characteristics, the performance degradation of cells is dissimilar. This paper proposes an online DC internal impedance estimation for battery cells in the series string using a matrix-switched capacitor converter, which is already verified as useful for the series balancing of the cells. The simulation in the hardware in the loop test rig shows good accuracy and the feasibility of the proposed method.

Objectives : This study was designed to investigate the relation between the matrix metalloprotease-1 gene polymorphism and facial nerve palsy in Korean population. Methods : This study was carried out on 102 facial nerve palsy patients who were treated with oriental medicine therapy at the department of acupuncture & moxibustion, hospital of Oriental medical college, Daegu Hanny University and 104 healthy control subjects. Blood samples from all subjects were obtained for DNA extraction. We have investigated the genotyping of matrix metalloprotease-1 by using Pyrosequencing. Results : The genotypes of matrix metalloprotease-l gene were G/G homozygotes, A/G heterozygotes and A/A homozygotes. There was no significant difference between the control and facial nerve palsy groups. Conclusion: We concluded that there was no significant association between matrix metalloprotease-1 gene polymorphism and facial nerve palsy in Korean population. However, the findings of this study need to be confirmed in more patients and further studies.

In the present paper we introduce and study Euler sequence spaces of fractional difference and backward difference operators. We make an effort to prove that these spaces are BK-spaces and linearly isomorphic. Further, Schauder basis for Euler fractional difference sequence spaces $e^{\varsigma}_{0,p}({\Delta}^{(\tilde{\beta})},\;{\nabla}^m)$ and $e^{\varsigma}_{c,p}({\Delta}^{(\tilde{\beta})},\;{\nabla}^m)$ are also elaborate. In addition to this, we determine the 𝛼-, 𝛽- and 𝛾- duals of these spaces.

Product ion yields in the in- and post-source decays of three peptide ions, $[Y_5X+H]^+$ (X = Y (tyrosine), K (lysine), and R (arginine)), generated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) were measured at six wavelengths, 307, 317, 327, 337, 347, and 357 nm, using ${\alpha}$-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) as the matrices. The temperatures of the early and late plumes generated by MALDI were estimated via kinetic analysis of the product ion yield data. For both matrices, the temperature drop (${\Delta}T$), i.e. the difference in the temperature between the early and late plumes, displayed negative correlation with the absorption coefficient. This was in agreement with the previous reasoning that deeper laser penetration and larger amount of material ablation arising from smaller absorption coefficient would result in larger extent of expansion cooling. The results support the postulation of the expansion cooling occurring in the plume presented previously.

In this paper, mechanical behavior of unidirectional composites with flexible matrix was predicted by geometrical non-linear finite element analysis. Two typical idealized unit cells of square and hexagonal fiber arrays were modeled and these were subjected to different loadings. The stress-strain behavior of composites was predicted from which the effective properties were calculated. The hyperelasticity of polyurethane matrix was considered using Mooney-Rivlin model. In result, the stress-strain behavior of flexible composites shows non-linearity, especially it is remarkable under transverse normal and shear loading conditions. In this cases, there are great difference between square and hexagonal fiber array models.

Satellite operating agencies are constantly monitoring conjunctions between satellites and space objects. Two line element (TLE) data, published by the Joint Space Operations Center of the United States Strategic Command, are available as raw data for a preliminary analysis of initial conjunction with a space object without any orbital information. However, there exist several sorts of uncertainties in the TLE data. In this paper, we suggest and analyze a method for estimating the uncertainties in the TLE data through mean, standard deviation of state vector residuals and covariance matrix. Also the estimation results are compared with actual results of orbit determination to validate the estimation method. Characteristics of the state vector residuals depending on the orbital elements are examined by applying the analysis to several satellites in various orbits. Main source of difference between the covariance matrices are also analyzed by comparing the matrices. Particularly, for the Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite-2, we examine the characteristics of the residual variation of state vector and covariance matrix depending on the orbital elements. It is confirmed that a realistic consideration on the space situation of space objects is possible using information from the analysis of mean, standard deviation of the state vector residuals of TLE and covariance matrix.
