일반적으로 인장 시험에 주로 사용되는 납작한 형태의 금속 재료에 천천히 인장력을 가하고 그 힘을 증가시키면 어느 순간에 루더스 밴드(Luders band)라고 불리는 소성 변형의 띠가 갑자기 발생한다. 이 띠들은 일정 각도를 가지고 평행하게 발생하며, 여러 연구자들에 의해 특정 경계조건에 대하여 이 띠가 발생하는 조건과 그 각도에 대한 많은 연구가 선행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 평면 응력 조건에서 이루어진 Thomas(1961)의 연구를 기반으로 하고 $J_2$ 소성 변형 조건, 힘의 평형방정식, 그리고 구성방정식을 이용하여 평면 변형 조건에서 발생하는 밴드의 각도를 해석적으로 유도하였다. 이 결과는 음향텐서를 이용한 기존의 연구 결과와 일치함을 확인하였다.

Galectin-3 is a ${\beta}$-galactoside-binding lectin that plays a role in neuroinflammation through cell migration, proliferation, and apoptosis. In the present study, regulation of galectin-3 was examined in the brain of mice infected with the Daniel strain of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) at days 7 and 81 post-infection by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemistry revealed that galectin-3 was mainly localized in ionized calcium-binding adapter 1-positive macrophages/activated microglia, but not in Iba-1-positive ramified microglia. Galectin-3 was also weakly detected in some astrocytes in the same encephalitic lesions, but not in neurons and oligodendrocytes. Collectively, the present findings suggest that galectin-3, mainly produced by activated microglia/macrophages, may be involved in the pathogenesis of virus induced acute inflammation in the early stage as well as the chronic demyelinating lesions in Daniel strain of TMEV induced demyelination model.

We examined the microfabrics of omphacite and garnet in foliated eclogite to determine the influence of the layered structure on seismic observations in subduction zone. The analyzed eclogite, from the Lanterman Range, northern Victoria Land, Antarctica, is characterized by layering in which the modal abundances of garnet and omphacite vary. For garnet, the low aspect ratios, similar angular distribution of long axes relative to the foliation in both layers, uniform grain size distribution, near-random crystallographic preferred orientations (CPOs), and misorientation angle distributions are indicative of passive behavior during deformation. In contrast, omphacite shows relatively high aspect ratios, a low angle between the long axes of crystals and the foliation, a wide grain-size distribution, and distinctive CPOs, suggesting dislocation creep as the main deformation mechanism. The results of fabric analyses are consistent with strain localization into omphacite or omphacite-rich layers rather than garnet or garnet-rich layers. The single-crystal seismic anisotropy of garnet is very weak ($AV_P=0.2%$, $AV_S=0.5-0.6%$), whereas that of omphacite is much stronger ($AV_P=3.7-5.9%$ and $AV_S=2.9-3.8%$). Seismic anisotropy of the omphacite-rich layers shows an increase of 329% for $AV_P$ and 146% for $AV_S$ relative to the garnet-rich layers. Our results demonstrate the importance of the layered structure in strain localization and in the development of the seismic anisotropies of subducting oceanic crust.

Broad studies have addressed the issue of structural element damage identification, however, rubber bearing, as a key component of load transmission between the superstructure and substructure, is essential to the operational safety of a bridge, which should be paid more attention to its health condition. However, regarding the limitations of the traditional bearing damage detection methods as well as few studies have been conducted on this topic, in this paper, inspired by the model updating-based structural damage identification, a two-stage bearing damage identification method has been proposed. In the first stage, we deduce a novel bearing damage localization indicator, called element relative MSE, to accurately determine the bearing damage location. In the second one, the prior knowledge of bearing damage localization is combined with sailfish optimization (SFO) to perform the bearing damage estimation. In order to validate the feasibility, a numerical example of a 5-span continuous beam is introduced, also the noise robustness has been investigated. Meanwhile, the effectiveness and engineering applicability are further verified based on an experimental simply supported beam and actual engineering of the I-40 Bridge. The obtained results are good, which indicate that the proposed method is not only suitable for simple structures but also can accurately locate the bearing damage site and identify its severity for complex structure. To summarize, the proposed method provides a good guideline for the issue of bridge bearing detection, which could be used to reduce the difficulty of the traditional bearing failure detection approach, further saving labor costs and economic expenses.

본 논문에서는 유한요소해석을 통해 연소시험 과정 중 발생한 내열 구조품의 파단현상이 분석되었다. 구조 불안정성은 소성변형으로 인한 것으로 이는 급격한 열하중의 변화에서 비롯된 것이다. 한편 소성변형 국부화 현상을 이해하기 위해 구성방정식에 연속체 파손변수가 포함되었으며 또한 Armstrong-Frederick과 Phillips 경화식을 이용, 이중후방응력 구성방정식이 제안되었다. 따라서 본 모델은 광범위한 소성변형거동을 해석할 수 있는 토대를 마련하였다. 수치해석을 통해 소성변형 집중 현상은 지배적인 후방응력의 전개에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 물체 내에서의 파손 현상은 소성변형 집중을 가속화하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The accurate modeling of boundary conditions is important in simulations of the discrete element method (DEM) and can affect the numerical results significantly. In conventional triaxial compression (CTC) tests, the specimens are wrapped by flexible membranes allowing to deform freely. To accurately model the boundary conditions of CTC, new flexible boundary algorithms for 2D and 3D DEM simulations are proposed. The new algorithms are computationally efficient and easy to implement. Moreover, both horizontal and vertical component of confining pressure are considered in the 2D and 3D algorithms, which can ensure that the directions of confining pressure are always perpendicular to the specimen surfaces. Furthermore, the boundaries are continuous and closed in the new algorithms, which can prevent the escape of particles from the specimens. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is validated by biaxial and triaxial simulations of granular materials. The results show that the algorithms allow the boundaries to deform non-uniformly on the premise of maintaining high control accuracy of confining pressure. Meanwhile, the influences of different lateral boundary conditions on the numerical results are discussed. It is indicated that the flexible boundary is more appropriate for the models with large strain or significant localization than rigid boundary.

Purpose: This study was carried out to investigate the spatiotemporal localization of the amygdaloid nucleus innervating the rat stomach using PRV-BaBlu, which has been known to be an excellent type of neurotracer with the ability to transpass the neuronalsynaptic cleft. Methods: Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats (250~300 g) that were injected with PRV-BaBlu into the stomach were randomly divided into 3, 4 and 5 day groups (each group n=30). $2{\mu}l$ of PRV-BaBlu, a genetically modified strain of PRV-Bartha with the lac-Z gene,was injected into the rat stomach and immunostained with a mouse anti-${\beta}$-galactosidase at 3, 4 and 5 days after the virus injection. Results: The PRV-BaBlu infected the neurons in the amygdaloid nucleus, and the degree of viral infection in experimental animals showed a tendency to increase significantly with time (p<0.05). The neurons between the left and right amygdaloid nucleus significantly differ (p<0.05). Conclusion: This showed that PRV-BaBlu was an excellent neurotracer for localizing the amygdaloid nucleus, and the amygdaloid nucleus has a sensory input and motor output on stomach movement, influencing emotional behavior.

Experiments have demonstrated that the addition of a moderate amount of V to $Fe_{52}Co_{(20-x)}B_{20}Si_4Nb_4V_x$ amorphous alloy enhances the plasticity of the alloy. In particular, $Fe_{52}Co_{17.5}B_{20}Si_4Nb_4V_{2.5}$ alloy withstood a maximum of 8.3% strain prior to fracture along with a strength exceeding 4.7 GPa. Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy conducted on the $Fe_{52}Co_{17.5}B_{20}Si_4Nb_4V_{2.5}$ alloy exhibited evidence of compositional modulation, indicating that nm-scale phase separation had occurred at local regions. In this study, the role played by nm-scale phase separation on the plasticity was investigated in terms of structural disordering and shear localization in order to better understand the structural origin of the enhanced plasticity shown by the developed alloy.

Epicoccum nigrum produces epipyrone A (orevactaene), a yellow polyketide pigment. Its biosynthetic gene cluster was previously characterized in E. nigrum KACC 40642. The YES liquid culture of this strain revealed high-level production of epicoccamide (EPC), with an identity that was determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and molecular mass search using the SuperNatural database V2 webserver. The production of EPC was further confirmed by compound isolation and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. EPC is a highly reduced polyketide with tetramic acid and mannosyl moieties. The EPC structure guided us to localize the hypothetical EPC biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in E. nigrum ICMP 19927 genome sequence. The BGC contains genes encoding highly reducing (HR)-fungal polyketide synthase (fPKS)-nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), glycosyltransferase (GT), enoylreductase, cytochrome P450, and N-methyltrasnferase. Targeted inactivation of the HR-fPKS-NRPS and GT genes abolished EPC production, supporting the successful localization of EPC BGC. This study provides a platform to explore the hidden biological activities of EPC, a bolaamphiphilic compound.
