In this study, the quality changes of Hoelen was investigated, which were color differences, browning degrees, total phenolic compounds and electron donating abilities to optimize drying condition using hot air and far infrared drying by changing conditions such as temperatures, air velocities and radiation distances. In color values, ${\Delta}b\;value$ decreased with increasing temperatures, while ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}a$ and ${\Delta}E\;value$ increased. The browning degrees showed the similar tendency with the color values. Total phenolic components of Hoelen decreased with increasing drying temperature and air velocity, and decreasing radiation distance. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in the changes of electron donating abilities (EDA) of Hoelen among drying methods and conditions. As a result, the hot air drying was more effective method than the far infrared was.

PURPOSE. Surface color is one of the main criteria to obtain an ideal esthetic. Many factors such as the type of the material, surface specifications, number of firings, firing temperature and thickness of the porcelain are all important to provide an unchanged surface color in dental ceramics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the color changes in dental ceramics according to the material type and glazing methods, during the multiple firings. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three different types of dental ceramics (IPS Classical metal ceramic, Empress Esthetic and Empress 2 ceramics) were used in the study. Porcelains were evaluated under five main groups according to glaze and natural glaze methods. Color changes (${\Delta}E$) and changes in color parameters (${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}a$, ${\Delta}b$) were determined using colorimeter during the control, the first, third, fifth, and seventh firings. The statistical analysis of the results was performed using ANOVA and Tukey test. RESULTS. The color changes which occurred upon material-method-firing interaction were statistically significant (P<.05). ${\Delta}E$, ${\Delta}L$, ${\Delta}a$ and ${\Delta}b$ values also demonstrated a negative trend. The MC-G group was less affected in terms of color changes compared to other groups. In all-ceramic specimens, the surface color was significantly affected by multiple firings. CONCLUSION. Firing detrimentally affected the structure of the porcelain surface and hence caused fading of the color and prominence of yellow and red characters. Compressible all-ceramics were remarkably affected by repeated firings due to their crystalline structure.

In this research, the three-dimensional structural and colorimetrical modeling of yarn-dyed woven fabrics was conducted based on the Kubelka-Munk theory (K-M theory) for their accurate color predictions. In the K-M theory for textile color formulation, the absorption and scattering coefficients, denoted K and S, respectively, of a colored fabric are represented using those of the individual colorants or color components used. One-hundred forty woven fabric samples were produced in a wide range of structures and colors using red, yellow, green, and blue yarns. Through the optimization of previous two-dimensional color prediction models by considering the key three-dimensional structural parameters of woven fabrics, three three-dimensional K/S-based color prediction models, that is, linear K/S, linear log K/S, and exponential K/S models, were developed. To evaluate the performance of the three-dimensional color prediction models, the color differences, ${\Delta}L^*$, ${\Delta}C^*$, ${\Delta}h^{\circ}$, and ${\Delta}E_{CMC(2:1)}$, between the predicted and the measured colors of the samples were calculated as error values and then compared with those of previous two-dimensional models. As a result, three-dimensional models have proved to be of substantially higher predictive accuracy than two-dimensional models in all lightness, chroma, and hue predictions with much lower ${\Delta}L^*$, ${\Delta}C^*$, ${\Delta}h^{\circ}$, and the resultant ${\Delta}E_{CMC(2:1)}$ values.

This paper proposes a O(E) polynomial-time algorithm that has been devised to simultaneously solve edge-coloring problem and graph classification problem both of which remain NP-complete. The proposed algorithm selects an edge connecting maximum and minimum degree vertices so as to determine the number of edge coloring ${\chi}^{\prime}(G)$. Determined ${\chi}^{\prime}(G)$ is in turn either ${\Delta}(G)$ or ${\Delta}(G)+1$. Eventually, the result could be classified as class 1 if ${\chi}^{\prime}(G)={\Delta}(G)$ and as category 2 if ${\chi}^{\prime}(G)={\Delta}(G)+1$. This paper also proves Vizing's planar graph conjecture, which states that 'all simple, planar graphs with maximum degree six or seven are of class one, closing the remaining possible case', which has known to be NP-complete.

화학 결합을 이해하는 중요한 방법 중 하나는 결합이 가지는 고유한 진동 모드를 분석하는 것이다. 진동 모드의 변화를 관측함으로써 다양한 외부 자극과 분자의 상호작용에 대한 연구도 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전기장이 가해진 물 분자의 진동 모드 변화를 분석함으로써 전기장과 물분자의 상호작용이 화학 결합에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 물 분자의 특정 O-H 결합 방향으로 전기장을 걸어주었을 때 신축 진동수의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 결합의 변화를 분석했다. 전기장에 따른 결합의 진동수 변화를 vibrational Stark effect (VSE)라 하고 그 정도를 Stark tuning rate ${\Delta}{\mu}$ ($={\Delta}v/{\Delta}E$, ${\Delta}v$ :진동수의 변화, ${\Delta}E$: 전기장의 변화)로 정의한다. 이때 Stark tuning rate에 영향을 미치는 요소는 전기장에 의한 (1) 분자 구조 변화(geometric effect)와 (2) 전자 구조의 분극현상(polarization effect)으로 나누어 생각해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서 물 단일체, 이중체, 사중체의 O-H 결합에 대해 살펴본 결과, VSE 효과에 주로 영향을 미치는 것은 전기장에 의한 구조 변화인 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 전기장이 주는 전자 구조 분극 효과는 크지 않지만 이를 통해 유발되는 구조 변화에 의해 진동수 (또는 화학 결합의 세기)가 크게 변한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 수소 결합 안정화로 인해 구조 변화가 쉬운 물 이중체, 사중체에서 VSE 효과가 크게 나타났다. 추가적으로 물 클러스터에서 형성되는 내부 전기장과 O-H 결합의 포텐셜 비조화성(anharmonicity)이 VSE에 주는 영향에 대한 연구도 수행하였다.

Purpose: The effect of accelerated aging on color stability of various dual-cured self-adhesive resin cements were evaluated in this study. Materials and Methods: Color stability was examined using three different brands of dual-cured self-adhesive resin cements: G-CEM LinkAce (GC America), MaxCem Elite (Kerr), and PermaCem 2.0 (DMG) with the equivalent color shade. Each resin cement was filled with Teflon mold which has 6 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness. Each specimen was light cured for 20 seconds using light emitting diode (LED) light curing unit. In order to evaluate the effect of accelerated aging on color stability, color parameters (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, CIE $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) and color differences (${\Delta}E^*$) were measured at three times: immediately, after 24 hours, and after thermocycling. The $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values were analyzed using Friedman test and ${\Delta}E^*$ values on the effect of 24 hours and accelerated aging were analyzed using t-test. These values were compared with the limit value of color difference (${\Delta}E^*=3.7$) for dental restoration. One-way ANOVA and Scheff's test (P<0.05) were performed to analyze each ${\Delta}E^*$ values between cements at each test period. Result: There was statistically significant difference in comparison of color specification ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) values after accelerated aging except $L^*$ value of G-CEM LinkAce (P<0.05). After 24 hours, color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) values were ranged from 2.47 to 3.48 and $L^*$ values decreased and $b^*$ values increased in all types of cement and MaxCem Elite had high color stability (P<0.05). After thermocycling, color change's tendency of cement was varied and color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) values were ranged from 0.82 to 2.87 and G-CEM LinkAce had high color stability (P<0.05). Conclusion: Color stability of dual-cured self-adhesive resin cements after accelerated aging was evaluated and statistically significant color changes occurred within clinically acceptable range.

The Langmuir adsorption isotherms of the under-potentially deposited hydrogen (UPD H) and the over-potentially deposited hydrogen (OPD H) at the single crystal Pt(100)/0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M LiOH aqueous electrolyte interfaces have been studied using the phase-shift method. The phase-shift profile $({-\varphi}\;vs.\;E)$ for the optimum intermediate frequency can be used as a useful method to estimate the Langmuir adsorption isotherm $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$ at the interfaces. The equilibrium constant (K) for the OPD H and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{ads})$ of the OPD H at the Pt(100)/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ aqueous electrolyte interface are $1.5\times10^{-4}$ and 21.8 kJ/mol, respectively. At the Pt(100)/0.5 LiOH aqueous electrolyte interface, K transits from 1.9(UPD H) to $6.8\times10^{-6}$(OPD H) depending on the cathode potential (E) and vice versa. Similarly, ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ transits -1.6 kJ/mol (UPD H) to 29.5 kJ/mol (OPD H) depending on E and vice versa. The transition of K and ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ is attributed to the two distinct adsorption sites of the UPD H and OPD H on the Pt(100) surface. The UPD H and the OPD H at the Pt(100) interfaces are the independent processes depending on the H adsorption sites rather than the sequential processes for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reactions.

The electrode kinetic parameters at the Pd/0.5 M LiOH electrolyte interface have been qualitatively studied using the phase-shift method. The phase shift $(\phi)$ depends on both the cathode potential (E>0) and frequency (f), and $\theta$ is inversely proportional to the fractional surface coverage $\theta$. At an intermediate frequency (10 Hz), the phase-shift profile $(\phi\;vs.\;E)$ can be related to the fractional surface coverage $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$. The phase-shift method can be used to estimate or plot the Frumkin adsorption isotherm. The rate (r) of change of the free energy of adsorption with $({\theta})$ is 22.3 kJ/mol. The equilibrium constant (K) for adsorption and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{\theta})$ of the adsorbed hydrogen atom $(H_{ads})$ are $3.7\times10^{-3}{\Delta}G_{\theta}>-8.4kJ/mol$, respectively. For 1$0.38>\theta>0$, the energy liberation or the exothermic reaction for hydrogen adsorption at the Pd cathode can be occurred. The electrode kinetic parameters $(r,\;K,\;{\Delta}G_{\theta}$ depend on the fractional surface coverage $({\theta})$ or the phase shift $(\phi)$.

The temperature-corrected values of blood gas analysis were compared to uncorrected values in 40 cases of open heart surgery under moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. The results were as follows. 1. The corrected value of pH was significantly higher than uncorrected value, and it's relationship was ${\Delta}pH=-0.015$ ${\Delta}Temp+0.005$(r=0.81, P<(0.01). 2. The corrected value of $PCO_2$ was lower than uncorrected value, and it's relationship was ${\Delta}PCO_2=1.11$ ${\Delta}Temp+1.81$(r=0.50, P<0.01). 3. The corrected value of $PO_2$ was lower than uncorrected value, and it' s relationship was ${\Delta}PO_2=5.21$ ${\Delta}Temp-1.45$(r=0.32, P<0.01). But there was no clinical significance. 4. The corrected values of $HCO_{3^-}$, base excess, $CO_2$ content and oxygen saturation were similar with uncorrected values. In summery, the values of pH and $PCO_2$were significantly changed by temperature-correction. Because of the neutral point of water (pH=pOH) rises as temperature falls and it change in parallel with the changes in blood pH, a corrected pH of 7.4, $PaCO_2$ of 40mmHg during deep hypothermia would reflect a profound respiratory acidosis. Therefore, the use of the uncorrected value at $37^{\circ}C$ is more preferable and valid means of assessing acid-base management regardless of actual patient temperature.

Pulmonary edema is a major cause of mortality due to acute lung injury (ALI). The involvement of protein kinase C-${\delta}$ (PKC-${\delta}$) in ALI has been a controversial topic. Here we investigated PKC-${\delta}$ function in ALI using PKC-${\delta}$ knockout (KO) mice and PKC inhibitors. Our results indicated that although the ability to produce proinflammatory mediators in response to LPS injury in PKC-${\delta}$ KO mice was similar to that of control mice, they showed enhanced recruitment of neutrophils to the lung and more severe pulmonary edema. PKC-${\delta}$ inhibition promoted barrier dysfunction in an endothelial cell layer in vitro, and administration of a PKC-${\delta}$-specific inhibitor significantly increased steady state vascular permeability. A neutrophil transmigration assay indicated that the PKC-${\delta}$ inhibition increased neutrophil transmigration through an endothelial monolayer. This suggests that PKC-${\delta}$ inhibition induces structural changes in endothelial cells, allowing extravasation of proteins and neutrophils.
