In this study, the analytic investigation of the unsteady flow in the intake and exhaust pipes has been carried out using the method of characteristics in one direction to predict volumetric efficiency. Based on the calculated volumetric efficiency, three zone predictive analysis using Wiebe function was applied to predict the engine performance and the results were compared with experiment. Mixture in the cylinder is subdivided into three zones during combustion process in this analysis; adiabatic core zone, thermal boundary layer zone and unburned zone. In each zone, pressure, temperature and gas composition have been calculated. In conclusion, it is possible to take account of the intake and exhaust pipe tuning effect in predicting the engine performance, by the analytic solution of the unsteady flow in the pipes, and comparison of prediction with experimental results shows a good agreement on the pressure variation in the intake and exhaust pipes which has a direct influence on the volumetric efficiency and performance of the engine.

Objective: The prognostic value of the volume and density of skeletal muscles in the abdominal waist of patients with colon cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the association between the automated computed tomography (CT)-based volume and density of the muscle in the abdominal waist and survival outcomes in patients with colon cancer. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 474 patients with colon cancer who underwent surgery with curative intent between January 2010 and October 2017. Volumetric skeletal muscle index and muscular density were measured at the abdominal waist using artificial intelligence (AI)-based volumetric segmentation of body composition on preoperative pre-contrast CT images. Patients were grouped based on their skeletal muscle index (sarcopenia vs. not) and muscular density (myosteatosis vs. not) values and combinations (normal, sarcopenia alone, myosteatosis alone, and combined sarcopenia and myosteatosis). Postsurgical disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using univariable and multivariable analyses, including multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression. Results: Univariable analysis showed that DFS and OS were significantly worse for the sarcopenia group than for the non-sarcopenia group (P = 0.044 and P = 0.003, respectively, by log-rank test) and for the myosteatosis group than for the non-myosteatosis group (P < 0.001 by log-rank test for all). In the multivariable analysis, the myosteatotic muscle type was associated with worse DFS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.89 [95% confidence interval, 1.25-2.86]; P = 0.003) and OS (aHR, 1.90 [95% confidence interval, 1.84-3.04]; P = 0.008) than the normal muscle type. The combined muscle type showed worse OS than the normal muscle type (aHR, 1.95 [95% confidence interval, 1.08-3.54]; P = 0.027). Conclusion: Preoperative volumetric sarcopenia and myosteatosis, automatically assessed from pre-contrast CT scans using AI-based software, adversely affect survival outcomes in patients with colon cancer.

국내 간척지에서 생장한 양마(kenaf)의 생장특성을 이해하기 위하여 전보(이 등, 2007)와 동일한 시료를 이용하여 생장기간과 높이에 따른 조직 및 구성 세포의 비율, 섬유 길이 및 도관 직경을 광학현미경을 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한, 세포벽 중의 셀룰로오스 상대결정화도와 결정 폭을 X선회절법으로 측정하였다. 양마의 구성 비율은 사부 10~15%, 목부 66~82%, 수 7~19% 정도였는데, 줄기 높이와 생장기간에 따른 차이를 보였다. 사부내에서는 사부방사조직이 약 50%, 인피섬유가 약 20%, 피층, 사관 등 기타 요소가 30% 정도인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 목부의 구성 비율은 목부섬유가 약 75%, 방사조직이 약 15%, 도관이 약 10%를 차지하였다. 양마목부의 세포벽 비율은 기부 30.92%, 최상부 46.40%로 최상부가 기부보다 높게 나타났다. 인피섬유의 길이는 줄기 기부에서 약 2.8 mm이고 높이가 증가할수록 감소되며 생장기간이 길어지면 다소 증가하는 경향을 보인 반면, 목부섬유 길이는 생장기간과 줄기 높이에 관계없이 약 0.9 mm의 안정된 값을 나타내었다. 도관의 방사 및 접선방향 직경은 생장기간이 길어질수록 증가하였고, 줄기 높이가 높아질수록 감소하였다. 상대결정화도는 사부에서 70~79%, 목부에서 50~56%로 사부가 높았고, 줄기 기부가 상부보다 다소 높게 나타났다. 셀룰로오스 결정 폭은 사부와 목부에서 약 3 nm로 거의 차이가 없었다. 결론적으로 각 조직과 조직 구성 요소의 비율 및 세포의 치수는 양마의 줄기 높이와 생장기간에 따라 차이를 보였지만 셀룰로오스의 결정구조는 차이가 없는 것으로 확인되었다.

Recently the automobile engine has been developed in achieving the high performance, fuel economy, and emission reduction. In a conventional spark ignition engine the fuel and air are mixed together in the intake system, inducted through the intake valve into the cylinder, and then compressed. Under normal operating conditions, the combustion is initiated towards the end of the compression stroke at the spark plug by an electric discharge. Following inflammation, a flame develops and propagates through this premixed fuel-air mixture. Therefore the state of mixture is very important in the combustion and emission characteristics. In this study the combustion and emission characteristics were tested and analyzed with changing the mixture composition and engine operating parameters in order to improve the combustion and performance in engine.

Excess molar volumes (Vm E ) of binary liquid mixtures: xC6H5CH3 + (1-x1)CH3CN or + (1-x1)C6H5NO2, or + (1-x1)C2H5NO2 have been determined as a function of mole fraction of C6H5CH3 (x) at a temperature of 303.15 K over a entire range of composition. The densities of the binary liquid mixtures were determined by pycnometrically. The VmE values of the mixtures have been found to be negative over the whole composition in order of C6H5CH3 + C6H5NO2, < C6H5CH3 + CH3CN, and < C6H5CH3 + C2H5NO2. The negative magnitude of VmE suggests the presence of intermolecular interaction in the three binary liquid mixtures.

Food and feeding habits of Labeobarbus intermedius were studied from the newly constructed Ribb Reservoir, Ethiopia during the dry (December-March) season and wet season (June-August) of 2021. The objective of the study was to determine the diet composition, seasonal variation, and ontogenetic dietary shift in the diets of the dominant cyprinid fish in Ribb Reservoir. In this study, frequency of occurrence and volumetric analysis methods were used to present the results. From a total of 203 fish samples, 132 (65%) guts contained food items. Macrophytes (29.4%), phytoplankton (27.2%), detritus (14.8%), and insects (13.6%) were the major food items in the diets volumetrically. During the dry season, L. intermedius was mainly dependent on phytoplankton (58.2%), insects (15.2%), and zooplankton (13.7%) volumetrically. Whereas, macrophytes (50.3%) and detritus (23.3%) were the dominant food items in the wet season. The frequency occurrence and volumetric contribution of the diets of L. intermedius varied significantly (χ² test, p < 0.05) between seasons. Schoener's diet overlap index revealed a slight ontogenetic dietary shift in the diets of L. intermedius. While insects, nematodes, and zooplankton were the main diets of small-sized L. intermedius, macrophytes and detritus were ingested by large-sized L. intermedius. Generally, L. intermedius fed both plant and animal-origin food items and is considered an omnivorous feeder in Ribb Reservoir.

An elastic-plasticity model during the austenitic decomposition was derived and implemented to incorporate the two important deformation behaviors observed during the phase transformations: the volumetric strain and transformation induced plasticity due to the temperature change and phase transformation. To obtain transformed phase volume fractions during cooling, the fourth order Runge-Kutta method was used to solve the Kirkaldy's phase kinetics model which is function of temperature, austenitic grain size and chemical composition. The volumetric strain was calculated by considering the densities of constituent phases, while the transformation induced plasticity was based on the micro-plasticity due to the volume mismatch between soft austenitic phase and other harder phases. The constitutive equations were implemented into the implicit finite element software and a simple boundary value problem was chosen as a model problem to validate the effect of transformation plasticity on the deformation behavior of steel under cooling from high temperature. It was preliminary concluded that the transformation plasticity plays a critical role in relaxing the developed stress during forming and thus reducing the magnitude of springback.

Glass systems based on Ca, Sr, Ba, and Zn modified alumino-boro silicates were investigated in order to improve the dielectric and mechanical properties of a typical LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic) which was developed for high frequency highly-integrated modules. The glass was prepared by a typical melting procedure and then mixed with cordierite fillers to fabricate glass/ceramic composite-type LTCC materials. The amount of cordierite filler was fixed at 50 volumetric%. For an optimal glass composition of 7.5% CaO, 7.5% BaO, 5% ZnO, 10% $Al_2O_3$, 30% $B_2O_3$, and 40% $SiO_2$ in mole ratio, the resultant LTCC composite showed a dielectric constant of 5.8 and a dielectric loss ($tan{\delta}$) of 0.0009 after firing at $900^{\circ}C$. An average bending strength of 160MPa was obtained for the optimal composition.
