The company Daewoo Precision Industries imported fine blanking press of 40 tons from Switzerland with fine blanking tool in order to produce the fuse part of bomb in 1978 at first in Korea. About 1985 the first fine blanking tool for producing the door lock parts was manufactured in the company Gold Star (now LG). And then this technology was grown up with the growth of automobile industries in Korea. Now 31 companies are closely related to the fine blanking technology and there are total 146 fine blanking presses in Korea. The developments of fine blanking technology in industries have been oriented to the production of precise fine blanking parts, the reduction of die roll height on fine blanking parts, the production of complex fine blanking parts with progressive fine blanking tool including forming and forging technology, the production of high-strength steel fine blanking parts and so on. Some R&D activities in KITECH were introduced.

Recently, multifunctional nanomaterials have been developed as nanotherapeutic agents for cellular imaging and targeted cancer treatment because of their ease of synthesis and low cytotoxicity. In this study, we developed a multifunctional, two-component nanorod consisting of gold (Au) and nickel (Ni) blocks that enables dual-fluorescence imaging and the targeted delivery of small interfering RNA (siRNA) to improve cancer treatment. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) peptides were attached to the surface of a Ni block via a histidine-tagged LHRH interaction to specifically bind to a breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. The Au block was modified with TAMRA-labeled thiolated siRNA in order to knock down the vascular endothelial growth factor protein to inhibit cancer growth. These two-component nanorods actively targeted and internalized into MCF-7 cells to induce apoptosis through RNA interference. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using two-component nanorods as a potential theranostic in breast cancer treatment, with capabilities in dual imaging and targeted gene delivery.

For years, the gold standard in facial rejuvenation has been the face lift. However, exploring new, less complex procedures for achieving the same goal is currently drawing interest. Rejuvenation of the perioral area is a difficult task for plastic surgeons because of the minimal effect that face lift procedures have over this region and the lack of published material on the subject. In this article, the descended mouth corner anguloplasty technique is presented. It is a 20-minutes lift technique that can correct this typical feature of the ageing mouth. The authors have treated 71 patients using the technique with consistently good results, with just one requiring revision. They conclude that this procedure by itself and in combination with other small operations or even a full face lift can rejuvenate the ageing face.

A density functional theory method with the local basis set was employed to perform slab calculations to study thiolate-induced surface reconstruction structures of butylthiolates (ButS) with c($4{\times}2$) superlattice of the Au(111) surface. The slab calculations indicate that the most stable adsorption structure is the ButS-Au (adatom)-SBut complex form, which is in good agreement with the reported experiments and theoretical results for thiolates with shorter alkyl chains. The cis form of ButS-Au (adatom)-SBut motifs is preferred by 0.11 eV with respect to the trans form, and by 0.15 eV over the mixed cis-trans configurations due to the steric hindrance between adjacent butyl groups. It appears that the motif of Au adatom on the Au(111) surface is favored even for butylthiolate.

Even if transmissions through normal channel between ubiquitous devices and terminal readers are encrypted, any extra sources of information retrieved from encrypting module can be exploited to figure out the key parameters, so called side channel attack. Since side channel attacks are based on statistical methods, making side channel signal weak or complex is the proper solution to prevent the attack. Among many countermeasures, shielding the electromagnetic signal and adding noise to the EM signal were examined by applying different thicknesses of thin films of ferroelectric (BTO) and conductors (copper and gold). As a test vehicle, chip antenna was utilized to see the change in radiation characteristics: return loss and gain. As a result, the ferroelectric BTO showed no recognizable effect on both shielding and adding noise. Cu thin film showed increasing shielding effect with thickness. Nanometer Au exhibited possibility in adding noise by widening of bandwidth and red shifting of resonating frequencies.

To investigate the effect of mercuric chloride on the pectoral muscel cells during chick embryogensis, chicken embryos were treated with mercuric chloride. Monoclonal antibodies against myosin were prepared for the localization of differentiation of thick filaments detected by the use of protein A-gold complex as a cytochemical marker. The effect of mercuric chloride was appeared not only to be ascribed with the reduced formation of myofibrilogenesis but also associated with induced change of morphology by the inhibition of protein synthesis.

This paper presents some simple thinking on an age-old question that given a bridge of a certain span and loading, from the point of view of the structural efficiency, where should the bridge deck be positioned? Generally, this decision is made for other reasons than structural efficiency such as aesthetics and the analyst is often presented with a fait accompli. Using the recently invented Evolutional Structural Optimisation (ESO) method, it is possible to demonstrate that having the deck at different vertical locations can lead to a very different mass and shape for each structural form resembling cable-stayed and cable-truss bridges. By monitoring a performance index which is the function of stresses and volume of discretised finite elements, the best optimised structure can be easily determined and the bridge deck positioning problem can be efficiently solved without resorting to any complex analysis procedures.

Panoramic radiographs and computed tomography (CT) play a paramount role in the accurate diagnosis, treatment planning, and prognostic evaluation of various complex dental pathologies. The advent of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has revolutionized the practice of dentistry, and this technique is now considered the gold standard for imaging the oral and maxillofacial area due to its numerous advantages, including reductions in exposure time, radiation dose, and cost in comparison to other imaging modalities. This review highlights the broad use of CBCT in the dentomaxillofacial region, and also focuses on future software advancements that can further optimize CBCT imaging.

The number of laparosocpic liver resection performed every years has been increasing. There is a trend than more major hepatectomy and complex liver resection is being reported. However there has been a major obstacles in many centers because open liver resection is still considered as a gold standard and many surgeons are still getting used to the old method of liver resection. To start a new procedure, education and training is essential in order to achieve a good outcome without compromising the safety of the patients. A gradual progression is crucial in order to avoid dreadful complication. The development of the consensus meeting and difficulty score has facility the understanding of safe practice in the development of laparoscopic liver resection. In a long run, development of registry system will improve transparency and safety of this operation.

한반도 금은광화작용은 중생대 대보화성활동(약 200~130 Ma)과 불국사화성활동(약 120~60 Ma)의 관입시기에 따라 다양한 지질환경에서 형성된 상이한 금속비의 광상이 배태되고 있으며, 각각 서로 다른 정치깊이를 반영하여 광상성인적 유형뿐만 아니라 시 공간적 분포를 보이고 있다. 맥의 산상, 광물학적, 유체포유물 및 동위원소 연구결과에 의하면, 쥬라기 광상은 성인적으로 페그마타이트와 밀접한 연관성을 보이며, 낮은 금은비(Ag/Au ratio)의 금단일형 광상(197~127 Ma)으로 비교적 단순한 광물조합과 높은 금함량의 에렉트럼이 산출된다. 이러한 유형의 광상은 심부기원의 전형적인 괴상 단성맥의 구조를 보이며, 심부(>3.0kb)의 환경조건에서 마그마 기원의 고온성 광화 유체(약 300~45$0^{\circ}C$, $\delta$$^{18}$ O; 5~10$\textperthousand$)로부터 $CO_2$비등현상과 황화작용의 침전 메카니즘에 의해서 형성되었다. 반면, 백악기 금-은광상들은 주로 전형적인 복성맥의 구조를 보이고, 비철금속의 황화광물이외에도 다양한 함은.함은황염 광물조합에 기인한 높은 금은비의 금은혼합형 광상(108~71 Ma) 또는 은단일형 광상(98~71 Ma)으로 산출된다. 이러한 유형의 광상들은 천부의 지질환경(<1.0 kb)에서 지표수의 혼입에 따른 순환수 기원의 비교적 낮은 온도 광화유체(약 200~35$0^{\circ}C$, $\delta$$^{18}$ O; -10~5$\textperthousand$)로부터 비등 및 냉각작용에 의한 복합적인 침전 메카니즘으로 형성되었다. 즉, 쥬라기 금단일형 광상에 속하는 태창 보련 삼황학 대흥광산은 전형적인 심열수~중열수광상으로, 백악기 금은혼합형 광상에 속하는 무극 금왕 금봉 덕음광산과 백악기 은단일형 광상에 속하는 전주일 월유 은적광산은 중열수~천열수광상으로, 가사도광산은 전형적인 화산성 저유황형 천열수광상으로 각각 구분된다. 중생대 대보 화성암체와 불국사 화성암체의 지구조적 특성에 따른 정치심도의 차이는 광화유체의 온도, 압력, 조성 및 기원뿐만 아니라, 유체의 진화과정 및 금-은 광물의 침전 메카니즘을 좌우하며, 결과적으로 금-은광상의 금속비에 직접적인 영향을 준 것으로 해석된다.
