Primary cilia, single hair-like appendage on the surface of the most mammalian cells, were once considered to be vestigial cellular organelles for a past century because of their tiny structure and unknown function. Although they lack ancestral motility function of cilia or flagella, they share common ground with multiciliated motile cilia and flagella on internal structure such as microtubule based nine outer doublets nucleated from the base of mother centrioles called basal body. Making cilia, ciliogenesis, in cells depends on the cell cycle stage due to reuse of centrioles for cell division forming mitotic spindle pole (M phase) and assembling cilia from basal body (starting G1 phase and maintaining most of interphase). Ciliary assembly required two conflicting processes such as assembly and disassembly and balance between these two processes determines the length of cilia. Both process required highly conserved transport system to supply needed substance to grow tip of cilia and bring ciliary turnover product back to the base of cilia using motor protein, kinesin and dynein, and transport protein complex, IFT particles. Disruption of ciliary structure or function causes multiple human disorder called ciliopathies affecting disease of diverse ciliated tissues ranging from eye, kidney, respiratory tract and brain. Recent explosion of research on the primary cilia and their involvement on animal development and disease attracts scientific interest on how extensively the function of cilia related to specific cell physiology and signaling pathway. In this review, I introduce general features of primary cilia and recent progress in understanding of the ciliary length control and signaling pathways transduced through primary cilia in vertebrates.

목적: 일차성 및 이차성 부갑상선기능항진증 환자에서 Tc-99m-sestamibi double-phase 스캔이 병변의 국소화에 보이는 성적을 비교 분석하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 수술로 확진된 14예의 단일 병변과 2예의 다발성 병변을 가지는 총 16명의 18개의 일차성 병변과 11명의 44개의 이차성 병변을 대상으로 Tc-99m-sestamibi 스캔 소견에서의 섭취 정도, 지연 스캔에서의 섭취 변화 등의 영상을 분석하고 진단율을 알아보았다. Tc-99m-sestamibi double-phase 스캔은 LEM (Seimens, Germany) 카메라를 사용하여 얻었으며 740 MBq을 순간 주사한 후 평행 그리고 바늘구멍 조준기를 사용하여 기저 및 지연 영상을 각각 얻었다. 남녀비는 일차성 2명 및 이차성 질환의 3명을 제외한 모든 증례가 여자였으며 (M:F=5 :22) 연령분포는 $29{\sim}65$세로 평균 49.1세였다. 결과, 일차성 병변의 경우는 총 18병변 중 13예는 선종, 5예는 부갑상선증식증이었으며 이차성 병변의 경우는 모두 부갑상선증식증이었다. 일차성 병변은 조직 소견상 선종으로 진단된 13예를 스캔 상에서 모두 발견한 반면 부갑상선증식증에서는 5예중 2예(40%)만이 스캔에서 발견되었다. 또한 일차성 병변 중 3예에서는 기저 스캔에 비하여 지연 스캔에서 섭취의 감소를 보였다. 일차성 병변에서 Double phase 스캔에 의한 민감도는 58.8% (10/17), 특이도 83.3% (10/12), 양성 예측률 83.3% (10/12) 및 정확도 75.9% (22/29)였으며 이차성 병변에서는 민감도 37.5% (15/40), 특이도 50% (2/4), 양성 예측률 88.2% (15/17) 그리고 정확도 38.6% (17/44)였다. 일차성 및 이차성 병변 모두에서의 전체적인 민감도는 43.9% (25/57), 특이도는 73% (12/16), 양성 예측률 86.2% (25/29) 및 정확도 53.4% (39/73) 였다. 그 외에 일차성 및 이차성 부갑상선 병변 간에 무게의 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 결론: Tc-99m-sestamibi 스캔은 일차성 부갑상선 병변의 국소화에 높은 민감도 및 특이도를 보이지만 일부에서는 지연스캔상의 섭취가 감소하므로 기저 스캔 영상을 참조하는 것이 진단에 도움을 줄 수 있으며 이차성 병변의 경우, 전반적으로 낮은 예민도를 보이지만 이소성 병변을 수술 전에 검사함으로써 수술의 성공률을 높이는 데 도움을 줄 수 있으므로 계속된 연구가 필요하겠다.

Concept of primary solidification mode control was adopted to obtain optimal solidification crack resistance, hot ductility, corrosion resistance and toughness for austenitic stainless steel. By controlling primary solidification phase as primary $\delta$ and containing no ferrite at room temperature, optimal solidification crack resistance, hot ductility, corrosion resistance and cryogenic toughness could be obtained. The optimum chemical composition of austenitic stainless steel ranges 1.46~1.55(Creq/Nieq ratio) calculated by Schaeffler's equation.

Phase transformation phenomenon at high temperature was investigated by using designed TiAl-Nb alloys with addition of the ${\beta}$ stabilizer. Examination of dendritic morphologies in arc-melted button ingot could reveal the crystallography of the primary solidification phase. It was found that the addition of ${\beta}$ stabilizer(Nb) shifted the high temperature region of the binary Ti-Al phase diagram to the high Al composition side so that ${\beta}$ phase forms as a primary crystal even at higher Al composition compared with the binary Ti-Al system. The ${\beta}$ was found to be the primary solidification phase for alloys with Al content less than about 52 at.%. The composition of ${\beta}$ solidification in Ti-Al-Nb ternary system could be determined from the partial liquidus projection which was constructed by observing the microstructure of arc-melted buttons. The Ti-46Al-(6, 8)Nb composition was selected for ${\beta}$ solidification and the directional solidification was performed by a floating zone-type DS apparatus at the growth rate 30 mm/hr respectively.

Generally, a single phase H-bridge converter feeding a single primary track is employed in conventional inductive power transfer systems. However, these systems may not be suitable for some high power applications due to the constraints of the semiconductor switches and the cost. To resolve this problem, a novel dual coupled primary tracks IPT system consisting of two high frequency resonant inverters feeding the tracks is presented in this paper. The primary tracks are wound around an E-shape ferrite core in parallel which enhances the magnetic flux around the tracks. The mutual inductance of the coupled tracks is utilized to achieve adjustable power sharing between the inverters by configuring the additional resonant capacitors. The total transfer power can be continuously regulated by altering the pulse width of the inverters' output voltage with the phase shift control approach. In addition, the system's efficiency and the control strategy are provided to analyze the characteristic of the proposed IPT system. An experimental setup with total power of 1.4kW is employed to verify the proposed system under power ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 with a transfer efficiency up to 88.7%. The results verify the performance of the proposed system.

The present paper deals with the numerical simulation for the spray characteristics with swirling turbulent flows and dilution flows from swirl injectors in a simplified can type of gas turbine combustor. The main objective is to investigate the characteristics of swirling turbulent flows with dilution flows and to provide the qualitative results for the spray characteristics such as the droplet distribution and Sauter Mean Diameter(SMD). The gas-phase equations based on Eulerian approach were discretized by Finite Volume Method, together with SIMPLE algorithm and the Reynolds -Stress-Model. The liquid-phase equations based on Lagrangian method were used to predict the droplet behavior. The results of preliminary test are generally in good agreement with experimental data, and show that the anisotropy exists in the primary zone due to swirl velocity and injected air from primary injector, and then gradually decays due to turbulent mixing and consequently near-isotropy occurs in the region between primary and dilution zones. For the spray characteristics, it is indicated that the swirling flows of primary jet region increase the droplet atomization. In addition, it is showed that the swirling flows at the inlet region lead the air-fuel mixture to be distributed near the igniter and can significantly affect the spray behavior in the primary jet region.

This study aimed to extend the retention of flavor in coffee-containing milk beverage by microencapsulation. The core material was caramel flavor, and the primary and secondary coating materials were medium-chain triglyceride and maltodextrin, respectively. Polyglycerol polyricinoleate was used as the primary emulsifier, and the secondary emulsifier was polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate. Response surface methodology was employed to determine optimum microencapsulation conditions, and headspace solid-phase microextraction was used to detect the caramel flavor during storage. The microencapsulation yield of the caramel flavor increased as the ratio of primary to secondary coating material increased. The optimum ratio of core to primary coating material for the water-in-oil (W/O) phase was 1:9, and that of the W/O phase to the secondary coating material was also 1:9. Microencapsulation yield was observed to be approximately 93.43%. In case of in vitro release behavior, the release rate of the capsules in the simulated gastric environment was feeble; however, the release rate in the simulated intestinal environment rapidly increased within 30 min, and nearly 70% of the core material was released within 120 min. The caramel flavor-supplemented beverage sample exhibited an exponential degradation in its flavor components. However, microcapsules containing flavor samples showed sustained flavor release compared to caramel flavor-filled samples under higher storage temperatures. In conclusion, the addition of coffee flavor microcapsules to coffee-containing milk beverages effectively extended the retention of the coffee flavor during the storage period.

In this study, the nano-deformation behavior of semi-solid Al-Si alloy was investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation as a part of the research on the surface crack behavior in thixoformed automobile parts. The microstructure of the grain-size controlled Al-Si alloy consists of primary and eutectic regions. In eutectic regions the crack initiation begins with initial fracture of the eutectic silicon particles and inside other intermetallic phases. Nano-deformation characteristics in the eutectic and primary phase of the grain-size controlled Al-Si alloy were investigated through the molecular dynamics simulation. The primary phase was assumed to be single crystal aluminum. It was shown that the vacancy occurred at the zone where silicon molecules were.
