Objective: This study investigated the effects of various concentrations of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) on human whole-blood clotting kinetics, the structure of the blood clots formed, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 release. Materials and Methods: Human whole blood was collected from 5 healthy volunteers and divided into 4 groups: CG (control, 0.5 mL of blood), BN_0.5 (0.5 mL of blood with 0.5 mL of 0.5% NaOCl), BN₃ (0.5 mL of blood with 0.5 mL of 3% NaOCl), and BN_5.25 (0.5 mL of blood with 0.5 mL of 5.25% NaOCl). The effects of NaOCl on clotting kinetics, structure of fibrin and cells, and release of TGF-β1 were assessed using thromboelastography (TEG), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and enzyme-linked immunosobent assay, respectively. Statistical analysis was conducted using the Kruskal Wallis and Mann-Whitney U tests, followed by the post hoc Dunn test. A p value < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results: The blood samples in BN_0.5 and BN₃ did not clot, whereas the TEG of BN_5.25 showed altered clot formation. Samples from the CG and BN₃ groups could only be processed with SEM, which showed that the latter lacked fibrin formation and branching of fibers, as well as clumping of red blood cells with surface roughening and distortion. TGF-β1 release was significantly highest in BN₃ when all groups were compared to CG (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Each concentration of NaOCl affected the release of TGF-β1 from blood clots and altered the clotting mechanism of blood by affecting clotting kinetics and cell structure.

Concrete roof in In-Chon LNG tank #15~18 is a very important structure. Precise control of quality is needed. This roof has 0.6~1.5m thickness, 36.23m radius, and, 12.7m height. So in this structure thermal crack caused by hydration heat should be controled. In this project belite cement plus LSP concrete is used. As a result of ambient temperature rising test and thermal analysis using FEM, this belite cement plus LSP concrete is expected to control the thermal crack well.

We study (n＋3)-dimensional contact three CR submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with Sasakian three structure and investigate some characterizations of $S^{4r＋3}$(a) $\times$ $S^{4s＋3}$(b) ($a^2$＋ $b^2$=1, 4(r ＋ s) = n - 3) as a contact three CR sub manifold of a (4m＋3)-dimensional unit sphere.

If C is a code, an orphan is a coset without any parent. We investigate the structure of orphans of the code BCH(3, m). All weight 5 cosets and all weight 3 reduced cosets are orphans, and all weight 1,2 and 4 are not orphans. We conjecture that all weight 3 unreduced cosets are not orphans. We prove this conjecture for m = 4, 5.

We proved that if a fibred Riemannian space $\tilde{M}$ with cosymplectic structure is conformally flat, then $\tilde{M}$ is the locally product manifold of locally Euclidean spaces, that is locally Euclidean. Moreover, we investigated the fibred Riemannian space with cosymplectic structure when the Riemannian metric $\tilde{g}$ on $\tilde{M}$ is Einstein.

A charge trapping host structure was developed to improve the light-emitting efficiency of green phosphorescent organic light-emitting diodes. N, N'-dicarbazolyl-3,5-benzene(mCP) and a spirobifluorene based triplet host(PHl) were co-deposited as hosts in the emitting layer and the device performance was examined according to the composition mCP and PH1. The results showed that the quantum efficiency could be improved by 30 % using a mixed host of mCP and PH1.

I. M. Gelfand and G. E. Shilov [GS] introduced the Gelfand-Shilov spaces of type S, generalized type S and type W of test functions to investigate the uniqueness of the solutions of the Cauchy problems of partial differential equations. Using the heat kernel method Matsuzawa gave structure theorems for distributions, hyperfunctions and generalized functions in the dual space $(S^s_r)'$ of the Gelfand-Shilov space of type S in [M1, M2 and DM], respectively. Also, we gave structure theorems for ultradistributions, Fourier hyperfunctions in [CK, KCK], respectively.

We introduce the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy minimal structure which is an extension of the intuitionistic fuzzy topological space. And we introduce and study the concepts of intuitionistic fuzzy M -continuity, intuitionistic fuzzy Mopen mappings and several types of intuitionistic fuzzy minimal compactness on intuitionistic fuzzy minimal spaces.

This paper proposes an orthogonal reception structure for OS/SS communication with time-shifted m-sequences, and compares the performances of the proposed and conventional receiver. This structure provides two important characteristics to reference user signal with not only increment of auto-correlation value but also cancel of the cross-correlation value out to zero between the reference user and other user signals. In addition, the structure can be easily implemented with the conventional receiver adding an additional integrator path in parallel and an adder that sums the conventional path output and the new path output signal. Hence, the proposed structure can be applied for channel impulse response measurement, and efficiently used for multi-user interference signal cancellation and channel capacity increment by flexible structural inter-working operation, connection or disconnection, of the new path to conventional receiver structure.

Floating structure such as tension leg platform, semi-submersible and spar are widely used in field of oil exploration and renewable energy system. All of these structures have the base cylinder support structure which have effective rule in overall dynamic of response. So the accurate and reliable modeling is needed for optimum design and understanding the physical background of these systems. The aim of this article is an analytical discussion on stochastic modeling of floating cylinder based support structure but an applicable one. Due to this a mathematical mass-damper-spring system of a floating cylinder of HAWAII WTG offshore wind as an applicable and innovative system is adopted to model a coupled degrees using random vibration in analytical way. A fully develop spectrum is adopted to solve the stochastic spectrum analytically by a proper approximation. Some acceptable assumption is adopted. The simplified but analytical and innovative hydrodynamic analysis of this study not only will help researcher to concentrate more physically on hydrodynamic analysis of floating structures but also can be useful for any quick, simplified and closed form analysis of a complicated problem in offshore engineering.
