We have made a comparison of three cone models (an asymmetric cone model, an ice-cream cone model, and an elliptical cone model) in terms of space weather application. We found that CME angular widths obtained by three cone models are quite different one another even though their radial velocities are comparable with one another. In this study, we investigate which cone model is proper for halo CME morphology and whether cone model parameters are similar to observations. For this, we look for CMEs which are identified as halo CMEs by one spacecraft and as limb CMEs by the other ones. For this we use SOHO/LASCO and STEREO/SECCHI data during the period from 2010 December to 2011 June when two spacecraft were separated by $90{\pm}10$ degrees. From geometrical parameters of these CMEs such as their front curvature, we classify them into two groups: shallow cone (5 events) and near full-cone (28 events). Noting that the previous cone models are based on flat cone or shallow cone shapes, our results imply that a cone model based on full cone shape should be developed. For further analysis, we are estimating the angular widths of these CMEs near the limb to compare them with those from the cone models. This result shows that the angular widths of the ice-cream cone model are well correlated (CC = 0.81) with those of observations.

A real-scale combustion test was conducted on a vinyl flooring in a divided space, with 50 mL of an inflammable liquid sprayed on it. The combustion behavior of the vinyl flooring was studied in real time, and the carbonization patterns of the surface and cross-sections of the carbonized vinyl floor were analyzed. When the flame ignited by gasoline reached its peak, a continuously flaming region, intermittent flaming region, plume region, etc., were formed. The combustion of 50 mL gasoline on vinyl flooring took 26 s, and a halo pattern was observed. This test involved spraying kerosene evenly on the vinyl flooring and attempting to ignite the flooring using a gas torch, which failed. After the combustion of the vinyl flooring was complete, its carbonized range was measured to be 600 mm in length and 380 mm in width, and the carbonized area was 1000 ㎟. Heat transformed the coated layer of surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring into a carbonized layer, which became harder. The analysis of cross-section of the boundary surface of the carbonized vinyl flooring using a stereoscopic microscope showed that the vinyl flooring was bubbling, and that the white boundary layer at the bottom of the coated layer had disappeared.

We measure the topology of the galaxy distribution using the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR7), examining the dependence of galaxy clustering topology on galaxy properties. The observational results are used to test galaxy formation models. A volume-limited sample defined by Mr<-20.19 enables us to measure the genus curve with amplitude of G=378 at 6h-1Mpc smoothing scale, with 4.8% uncertainty including all systematics and cosmic variance. The clustering topology over the smoothing length interval from 6 to 10h-1Mpc reveals a mild scale-dependence for the shift and void abundance (A_V) parameters of the genus curve. We find strong bias in the topology of galaxy clustering with respect to the predicted topology of the matter distribution, which is also scale-dependent. The luminosity dependence of galaxy clustering topology discovered by Park et al. (2005) is confirmed: the distribution of relatively brighter galaxies shows a greater prevalence of isolated clusters and more percolated voids. We find that galaxy clustering topology depends also on morphology and color. Even though early (late)-type galaxies show topology similar to that of red (blue) galaxies, the morphology dependence of topology is not identical to the color dependence. In particular, the void abundance parameter A_V depends on morphology more strongly than on color. We test five galaxy assignment schemes applied to cosmological N-body simulations to generate mock galaxies: the Halo-Galaxy one-to-one Correspondence (HGC) model, the Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) model, and three implementations of Semi-Analytic Models (SAMs). None of the models reproduces all aspects of the observed clustering topology; the deviations vary from one model to another but include statistically significant discrepancies in the abundance of isolated voids or isolated clusters and the amplitude and overall shift of the genus curve. SAM predictions of the topology color-dependence are usually correct in sign but incorrect in magnitude.

The antimicrobial action of various dental cements evaluated against common micro-organisms most frequenty found within the components of the normal bacterial flora of oral cavity. They include Streptococcus mutans (2 strains), Lactobacillus acidophilus, Actinomyces viscosus, and Streptococcus sanguis. The test was done by the use of brain heart infusion (BHI) agar plates. A standard mix of each cement was made and placed on the plates which were seeded with a standard culture of microorganisms. After incubation, the halo of bacterial growth inhibition around the cement was identified and its size was measured. Some of the cements tested had obvious antibacterial effect. The cements listed in decreasing order of effectiveness are 1) zinc phosphate and oxyphosphate, 2) silicate, 3) zinc oxide-eugenol, 4) calcium hydroxide, and 5) carboxylate.

Cosmology is entering an era of percent precision with large surveys, demanding accurate simulations. In this paper, we aim to study the effects of initial conditions on the results of cosmological simulations, which will help us to make percent-level accuracy simulations. For this purpose, we use a series of cosmological N-body simulations with varying initial conditions. We test the influence of the initial conditions, namely the pre-initial configuration (preIC), the order of the perturbation theory, and the initial redshift, on the statistics associated with the large scale structures of the universe such as the halo mass function, the density power spectrum, and the maximal extent of the large scale structures. We find that glass or grid pre-initial conditions give similar results. However, the order of the Lagrangian perturbation theory used to generate the initial conditions and the starting epoch of the simulations play a crucial role, especially at high redshift (z ~ 2-4). The initial conditions have to be chosen with care, taking into account the specificity of the simulation.

우주론의 표준모형에서는 어느 정도 큰 규모에서 물질의 분포가 균일하고 등방하다고 가정한다. 본 연구는 어떤 규모에서 물질의 분포가 균일한지 은하의 관측 자료를 이용하여 조사하였다. 관측 자료로는 SDSS Data Release 7의 적색편이 값이 0.16에서 0.47사이에 있는 105,831개의 LRGs의 목록을 사용하였다. LRGs의 목록을 이용해서 일정한 적색편이 구간에 있는 은하들을 택하여, 이를 2차원 면으로 간주하고, 각 은하를 중심으로 원을 만들어 원의 면적에 대한 원 내부에 있는 은하들의 개수의 증감을 이용하여 균일성을 조사하였다. 정확한 비교를 위해 LRGs의 목록과 동일한 수의 은하를 무작위적으로 뿌린 Random catalog와 표준모형을 기반으로 만들어진 Horizon Run 3의 N-body simulation 의 결과로부터 얻어낸 halo mock catalog를 각각 비교하였다.

In order to give pulp surfaces anti-bacterial functionality and photo-catalytic deodorant ability, functional pulps was made using a surface modification method with Ag nano-colloidal solution and $TiO_2$ filler. Hygiene paper was made with the specially modified pulp, and anti-bacterial and deodorant tests were carried out. The Ag nano-colloidal solution was coated on the surface of the pulp using the high pressurized gas phase squirt through the spray nozzle mounted on the hybridization system. The surface modified functional pulp was hybridized with the optimum ratio of $TiO_2$(fine particle) to pulp(core particle) under the condition of $6,000{\sim}10,000$ rpm for $3{\sim}7$ minutes in the system. The anti-bacterial functionality of the hygiene paper was confirmed by the halo test in which the formation of the clear zone around the hygiene paper sample was observed. The inhibition growth test using MIC bioscreen C showed the inhibition growth effect of the bacteria as the reaction time was increased. The photo-catalytic effect measurement of the $TiO_2$ for 4 hours of the reaction showed $50{\sim}60%$ of decomposition rate, reaching over 60% for 5 hours of the reaction.

We present a new quasi-stellar object (QSO) selection algorithm using a Support Vector Machine, a supervised classification method, on a set of extracted time series features including period, amplitude, color, and autocorrelation value. We train a model that separates QSOs from variable stars, non-variable stars, and microlensing events using 58 known QSOs, 1629 variable stars, and 4288 non-variables in the MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) database as a training set. To estimate the efficiency and the accuracy of the model, we perform a cross-validation test using the training set. The test shows that the model correctly identifies ~80% of known QSOs with a 25% false-positive rate. The majority of the false positives are Be stars. We applied the trained model to the MACHO Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) data set, which consists of 40 million lightcurves, and found 1620 QSO candidates. During the selection, none of the 33,242 known MACHO variables were misclassified as QSO candidates. In order to estimate the true false-positive rate, we crossmatched the candidates with astronomical catalogs including the Spitzer Surveying the Agents of a Galaxy's Evolution (SAGE) LMC catalog and a few X-ray catalogs. The results further suggest that the majority of the candidates, more than 70%, are QSOs.

향 비듬 샴푸에 대한 비중이 증가되는 현 샴푸시장에서 향 비듬력을 측정할 수 있는 간단한 in vitro 실험법의 요구가 증대되고 있다. 기존의 향 비듬력의 측정을 위하여 사용되고 있는 방법으로는 Pityrosporum ovale에 대한 MIC test와 halo test가 널리 쓰이고 있으나, Pityrosporum 배지의 자체 탁도 때문에 균의 성장 여부를 육안으로 관찰하기 어렵고, 종이 디스크와 두피와의 차이에 의하여 실제 사용과 효과가 다르다는 단점이 있었다. 저자들은 임상 실험을 거치기 전 간단히 향 비듬력을 측정할 수 있는 in vitro 방법으로 skin disk diffusion method를 개발하였다. SDDM에서는 종이 디스크 대신 기니픽의 피부 조직을 사용하고, 향 비듬 제제의 처리 후 세척 단계를 포함시켜 실제 사용과의 차이를 줄였다. SDDM의 유용성을 확인하기 위하여 향 비듬 제제로 2.0% ketoconazole, 분산된 상태의 zinc pyrithion, 분자화 기술로 활성을 높인 ZPT에 대해 기존의 in vitro 시험법과 함께 향 비듬력을 측정하였다. 결과는 SDDM 시험에서만 20% ketoconazole 제제와 분자화된 0.5% ZPT제제의 억제대가 비슷한 것으로 나타나 임상 시험에서 두 제제 모두 비듬에 대해 개선 효과가 있었으며 향 비듬 효과에 차이가 없다는 결과와 일치하였다. 본 시험의 결과로 SDDM이 향 비듬 샴푸와 같은 wash-off 제품의 효능 측정에 간단하고 효과적인 적절한 in vitro 시험법으로 생각되어 SDDM 시험과 임상 시험결과를 소개한다.
