  • We present physical properties of $24{\mu}m$ galaxies detected by AKARI and Spitzer and their evolution between redshifts 0.4 < z < 2. Using multi-wavelength data from X-ray to radio observations in NEP Deep Field (for AKARI) and Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field (for Spitzer), we derive photometric redshift, stellar mass, star-formation rate (SFR), dust extinction magnitude and rest-frame luminosities/colors of the $24{\mu}m$ galaxies from photometric SED fitting. We infer the SFRs from rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity and total infrared luminosity calibrated against Herschel photometric data. For both survey fields, we obtain complete samples with stellar mass of > $10^{10}M_{\odot}$ and SFR of > $30M_{\odot}/yr$ up to z = 2. We find that specific SFRs evolves with redshift at all stellar masses in NON-power-law galaxies (non-PLGs) as star-formation dominant luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs). The correlations between specific SFR and stellar mass in the Spitzer and AKARI galaxy samples are well consistent with trends of the main sequence galaxies. We also discuss nature of PLGs and their evolution.

  • The essential oil fraction was obtained from the underground parts o of Ligusticum chuanxiong (Umbelliferae) by steam distillation, and its main components, Z-ligustilide and butylidene phthalide, were isolated by column chromatography. Its essential oil fraction and the isolated main components were examined for effects on their anti-inflammatory properties in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells to develop a new natural anti-inflammatory drug. The results showed that the L. chuanxiong essential oil fraction and its main components, Z-ligustilide and butylidene phthalide, inhibited the production of nitric oxide significantly in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. LPS-induced interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) production was also decreased in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, western blot analysis revealed that the L. chuanxiong essential oil fraction and also its main components, Z-ligustilide, and butylidene phthalide reduced the expression levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS).

  • A change of three-dimensional vortical structures on the wake behind a road vehicle has been investigated according to the existence of an air spoiler. To reconstruct the three-dimensional velocity fields, two-dimensional PIV(particle image velocimetry) measurements were performed for lots of the x-y, y-z and z-x planes. Since the isovorticity surface does not represent exactly the vortical structures within the recirculation region due to strong shear flows, the velocity component normal to the x-y plane is obtained by interpolating those velocities in the z-x plane. Then, the ${\lambda}_2-definition$ is applied to visualize the vortices in the recirculation region. As a result, it is found that the air spoiler weakens C-pillar vortices and produces strong wing-tip vortices. Inside the recirculation region, the height and volume of coherent vortices are increased relatively when an air spoiler is equipped. On the other hand, two small coherent vortices are observed in case that an air spoiler is absent.

  • The chromatographic separation of the MeOH extract of the aerial parts from Aster hispidus (Compositae) led to the isolation of eight compounds. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods to be ${\beta}-amyrin$ (1), oleanolic acid (2), (2R)-1, 2-O-(9Z, 12Z, $15Z-dioctadecatrienoyl)-3-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranosyl\;glycerol$ (3), trans-phytol (4), 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid (5), kaempferol (6), 3,5-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (7), 3,4-dicaffeoyl quinic acid (8) and kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (9). Compounds 1, $3{\sim}6$ and 9 showed non-specific moderate cytotoxicity against five human tumor cell lines $(5.44{\sim}23.51\;{\mu}g/ml)$. The other compounds were of marginal activity against tested five human cancer cell lines $(9.05{\sim}>30.0\;{\mu}g/ml)$.

  • The specimens made by Z2CND18.12N austenitic stainless steel were conducted on a 100 kN closed loop servo hydraulic tension-compression testing machine with a digital controller. Uniaxial tension and uniaxial ratcheting effect tests were carried out at $25^{\circ}C$. Moreover, Uniaxial tension tests were conducted at $150^{\circ}C$, $250^{\circ}C$ and $350^{\circ}C$. Based on these experimental data, the prediction models of stress-strain curve and the relationship of ratcheting strain and number of cycles were established by the algorithm principle of BP neural network. The results indicated that the predicted results of neural network model were in well agreement with experimental data. It was found that the BP neural network model had high validity and accuracy.

  • Serratia marcescens IRBG500 and Herbaspirillum seropedicae Z67 grow endophytically in rice. The ability of these bacteria to colonize rice grown under increased nutrient availability was assessed in variety IR72 using strains marked with transposon-based gusA. The endophytic colonization was monitored via bacterial enumeration and histochemical visualization of GUS expression of bacteria in plant tissues. Rhizoplane and endophytic colonization by both bacteria was significantly inhibited in the rice plants grown in the presence of 10 mM $NH_4Cl$. In contrast, the addition of 10 mM $KNO_3$ showed no adverse effect on colonization. Increasing the concentration of $Ca^{2+}$ to 5 mM significantly reduced endophytic colonization by both bacterial strains, whereas the addition of 0.5 mM $Fe^{2+}$ substantially lowered the colonization of roots by S. marcescens IRBG500 but showed no effect on colonization by H. seropedicae Z67. Taken together, these finding suggest that, like in legume-rhizobial symbiosis as well as plant-pathogen interactions, nutrient status, particularly $NH_4^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations in the surrounding medium, plays an important role in the regulation of endophytic infection and colonization processes in rice.

  • If ${\psi}$ is analytic on the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and ${\varphi}$ is an analytic self-map of $\mathbb{D}$, the weighted composition operator $C_{{\psi},{\varphi}}$ is defined by $C_{{\psi},{\varphi}}f(z)={\psi}(z)f({\varphi}(z))$, when f is analytic on $\mathbb{D}$. In this paper, we study normal, cohyponormal, hyponormal and normaloid weighted composition operators on the Hardy and weighted Bergman spaces. First, for some weighted Hardy spaces $H^2({\beta})$, we prove that if $C_{{\psi},{\varphi}}$ is cohyponormal on $H^2({\beta})$, then ${\psi}$ never vanishes on $\mathbb{D}$ and ${\varphi}$ is univalent, when ${\psi}{\not\equiv}0$ and ${\varphi}$ is not a constant function. Moreover, for ${\psi}=K_a$, where |a| < 1, we investigate normal, cohyponormal and hyponormal weighted composition operators $C_{{\psi},{\varphi}}$. After that, for ${\varphi}$ which is a hyperbolic or parabolic automorphism, we characterize all normal weighted composition operators $C_{{\psi},{\varphi}}$, when ${\psi}{\not\equiv}0$ and ${\psi}$ is analytic on $\bar{\mathbb{D}}$. Finally, we find all normal weighted composition operators which are bounded below.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop a program for anger management based on self-efficacy. Methods: In this study, four types of approaches to enhance anger control were developed; 1) a role play for vicarious experiences; 2) an assertive training for anger expression; 3) a 30-minute long education program & a 20-minute long telephone call coaching for verbal persuasion; and 4) a booklet for anger management and self care behaviors. One group pretest-posttest design was used for evaluating the program. Study subjects were 6 cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The group were received a 4-week intervention, 60 ~ 90 minutes a day weekly, and measured the variables at baseline, 4 weeks later. Anger-in, anger-out, and anger-control were measured by STAXI-K. Data was analysed by Wilcoxon using SPSS/WIN 12.0 program. Anger situation was analysed according to primary anger-thoughts and secondary anger-thoughts based on cognitive theories of anger. Results: The program for anger management consisted of a role play, assertive training, education, telephone call coaching and a booklet. The program revealed significantly less Anger-in (Z = -1.997, p = .046), anger-out (Z = -2.207, p = .027). No difference, however, was found in anger control (Z= -1.826, p=.068). Conclusion: This evaluation suggested that more assertive training and longer intervention may be needed to maximize anger control.

  • Today most companies are designing their automobile shapes by using 3 dimensional CAD software, CATIA. And they used to design 2 dimensional press dies to do some elastic work on their products, but they are currently trying to make use of dimensional software, Pro-Engineer. In this case, they have to change the 3 dimensional product design data to the proper format data for the following process. This paper will show the data loss and the deformation during data transfer between CATIA and Pro-Engineer, and then suggest a solution for these problems. Product's surface will be automatically placed by automatic press tipping angle setting in CATIA to prevent the product from being stuck in the press die. The 2 dimensional section view which is based on the tipping angle setting is created by Z-map. And, to remove the data loss and the data deformation in pro-Engineer, the product surface are delivered to the next process after it is changed to the 2 dimensional Z-map curves in CATIA. finally, this paper suggests an algorithm to develop the automatic design program for the press layout which regenerates product shape surface from the previous process.
