X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a process that enables mammalian females to ensure the dosage compensation for X-linked genes. Investigating the mechanism of XCI might provide deeper understandings of chromosomal silencing, epigenetic regulation of gene expressions, and even the course of evolution. Studies on mammalian XCI conducted with mice have revealed many fundamental findings on XCI. However, difference of murine and human XCI necessitates the further investigation in human XCI. Recent success in reprogramming of differentiated cells into pluripotent stem cells showed the reversibility of XCI in vitro, X chromosome reactivation (XCR), which provides another tool to study the change in X chromosome status. This review summarizes the current knowledge of XCI during early embryonic development and describes recent achievements in studies of XCI in reprogramming process.

The effects of thermomechanical treatments on microstructure and fatigue properties of 7050 Al alloy were investigated. The precipitation kinetics changed to a faster rate due to cold deformation employed in this special TAHA thermomechanical treatments including pre-aging, plastic deformation and two step final-aging. The G.P. zones in the under-aged condition were cut by dislocations and dissolved during the plastic deformation. During the low cycle fatigue, the T6' condition showed cyclic hardening behavior whereas the TMT5, TMT27 and T76 conditions showed cyclic softening at above 0.7% total strain amplitudes. The ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value of TMT27 was improved more than two times, compared with that of T76 condition. The T6' with small shearable precipitates resulted in the markedly high ${\Delta}K_{th}$ value. This is thought to be resulted from dislocation reversibility and roughness-induced crack closure due to planarity of slip.

The studies of reversible and 2-primal rings have done important roles in noncommutative ring theory. We in this note introduce the concept of quasi-reversible-over-prime-radical (simply, QRPR) as a generalization of the 2-primal ring property. A ring is called QRPR if ab = 0 for $a,b{\in}R$ implies that ab is contained in the prime radical. In this note we study the structure of QRPR rings and examine the QRPR property of several kinds of ring extensions which have roles in noncommutative ring theory.

Tungsten trioxide thin films are successfully synthesized by a sol-gel method using tungsten hexachloride as precursors. The structural, chemical, and optical properties of the prepared films are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The electrochemical and electrochromic properties of the films before and after heat treatment are also investigated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and in situ transmittance measurement system. Compared to as-prepared films, heat-treated tungsten trioxide thin films exhibit a higher electrochemical reversibility of 0.81 and superior coloration efficiency of $65.7cm^2/C$, which implies that heat treatment at an appropriate temperature is a crucial process in a sol-gel method for having a better electrochromic performance.

The studies of reversible and NI rings have done important roles in noncommutative ring theory. A ring R shall be called QRUR if ab = 0 for a, b ∈ R implies that ba is contained in the upper nilradical of R, which is a generalization of the NI ring property. In this article we investigate the structure of QRUR rings and examine the QRUR property of several kinds of ring extensions including matrix rings and polynomial rings. We also show that if there exists a weakly semicommutative ring but not QRUR, then Köthe's conjecture does not hold.

We, in this paper, study the commutativity of skew polynomials at zero as a generalization of an ${\alpha}-rigid$ ring, introducing the concept of strongly skew reversibility. A ring R is be said to be strongly ${\alpha}-skew$ reversible if the skew polynomial ring $R[x;{\alpha}]$ is reversible. We examine some characterizations and extensions of strongly ${\alpha}-skew$ reversible rings in relation with several ring theoretic properties which have roles in ring theory.

This thesis presents a analysis method of hybrid synthesis petri net for automated manufacturing systems in discrete event dynamic system. There are many errors that can happen to petri net modeling of complex systems because petri net modeling process has so many steps. A new matrix analysis method presented in this thesis can confirm the property of petri net such as boundedness, liveness and reversibility, modify errors which can be occurred in modeling.

A reversible scalar phenomena in amorphous As$_{40}$ Ge$_{10}$ Se$_{15}$ S$_{35}$ have been investigated by blue-pass-filtered Hg lamp and He-Ne laser. Annealing causes the shift of the absorption edge to shelter wavelengths approximately 0.17ev, also illumination moves it to longer wavelengths about 0.05 ~ 0.07eV and it increases the refractive index maximum 0.3. Therefore the thermalbleaching(TB) and photodarkening(PD) effects have been understood by the results related to optical absorption characteristics. TB could be estimated as increasing the stabilization of amorphous chalcogenide films since absorption slope of extended regions(U) was not changed by annealing. On the other hand, PD could be understood as due to the enhancement of disorder since the slope of Urbach’s tail(1/F) around an absorption edge were decreased by illumination.ion.n.

Recently, advances in nano-material researches have opened the door for various transparent conductive materials, which include carbon nanotube, graphene, Ag and Cu nanowire, and printable metal grids. Among them, Ag nanowires are particularly interesting to synthesize because bulk Ag exhibits the highest electrical conductivity among all metals. Here we reviewed recently-published research works introducing various devices from organic light emitting diode to tactile sensing devices, all of which are employing AgNW for a conducting material. They proposed methods to enhance the stretchability and reversibility of the transparent electrodes, and apply them to make various flexible and stretchable electronics. It is expected that Ag nanowires are applicable to a wide range of high-performance, low-cost, stretchable electronic devices.

To solve low cycle efficiency of the zinc anode in Zn-air batteries by corrosion, this study examined the effects of Al as a cathodic protection additive to Zn. The Al-mixed Zn anodes were produced by mixing Zn and Al powder (1, 2, and 3 wt. %). To compare the effects of the Al additive, Si was selected under the same conditions. The morphology and elemental composition of the additives in the Zn were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry. The anti-corrosion effects of the Al and Si-mixed Zn anodes were examined by linear polarization. Cyclic voltammetry and charge-discharge tests were conducted to evaluate the electrochemical performance of the Al and Si-mixed Zn anodes. As a result, the Al-mixed Zn anodes showed highest corrosion resistance and cycling performance. Among these, the 2 wt.% Al-mixed Zn anodes exhibited best electrochemical performance.
