This paper focuses on the properties analysis of 9mm bullet dual structure core to substitute current lead core by environment-friendly combination of W-Cu-Ni system high density composite materials. So the four combination samples were made of dual core with the different center of gravity location backward or forward compare to that of lead type bullet, and we experimented about the performance of 9mm bullet dual structure core. In the experimental results, the outer shape of core of four environment friendly samples on the target maintain marginally, while the current lead core bullets are completely crushed after hitting the target. The penetration depth of environment friendly samples excel seven times to lead type bullet and the three out of four samples with forward adjusted center of gravity penetrate deep as twice as ones backward. The impact tolerance of all four samples satisfies military specification, however, more firing tests are required to improve reliability of scattering distribution.

This paper presents a chamber pressure model development of K2 rifle by applying Gaussian mixture model. In order to materialize a real recoil force of a virtual reality shooting rifle in military combat training, the chamber pressure which is one of major components of the recoil force needs to be investigated and modeled. Over 200,000 data of the chamber pressure were collected by implementing live fire experiments with both K100 and M193 of 5.56 mm bullets. Gaussian mixture method was also applied to create a mathematical model that satisfies nonlinear, asymmetry, and deviations of the chamber pressure which is caused by irregular characteristics of propellant combustion. In addition, Polynomial and Fourier Regression were used for comparison of results, and the sum of squared errors, the coefficient of determination and root-mean-square errors were analyzed for performance measurement.

Major influence factors for piercing depth of concrete against small caliber bullet are target's property such as compression strength of concrete and bullet's property such as the velocity and weight of it. In particular about the bullet's property, velocity and incidence angle could be controlled by specific position or distance between targets and shooter, but the angle of yaw of bullet dose not. Because the the angle of yaw of bullet causes lower piercing force of bullet, some errors on piercing depth of concrete could be appeared by live fire test for the evaluation of protective performance. Therefore, we have checked the error canceling effect on the piercing depth of concrete by single shot and barrage of small caiber bullets. As a result, we identified that the error of piercing depth by the angle of yaw of bullet could be cancelled by barrage.

Recently, the demand has increased for protective clothing materials capable of shielding the wearer from bullets, fragment bullets, knives, and swords. It is therefore necessary to develop light and soft protective clothing materials with excellent wearability and mobility. To this end, research is being conducted on hybrid design methods for various highly functional materials, such as carbon nanotube (CNT) sheets, which are well known for their low weight and excellent strength. In this study, a hybrid protective material using CNT sheets was developed and its performance was evaluated. The material design incorporated a bonding method that used a binder for interlayer combination between the CNT sheets. Four types of binders were selected according to their characteristics and impregnated within CNT sheets, followed by further combination with aramid fabric to produce the hybrid protective material. After applying the binder, the tensile strength increased significantly, especially with the phenoxy binder, which has rigid characteristics. However, as the molecular weight of the phenoxy binder increased, the adhesive force and strength decreased. On the other hand, when a 25% lightweight-design and high-molecular-weight phenoxy binder were applied, the backface signature (BFS) decreased by 6.2 mm. When the CNT sheet was placed in the middle of the aramid fabric, the BFS was the lowest. In a stab resistance test, the penetration depth was the largest when the CNT sheet was in the middle layer. As the binder was applied, the stab resistance improvement against the P1 blade was most effective.

To improve gun hit probability and to correct miss distance between target and bullet. It assumes that a radar tracks both the targets and bullets fired by a gun system. This papers describes an adaptive algorithm developed for processing the large number of radar measurements. The gun-order computation is enhanced by feedback from the ballistic estimator.

Violence in our society, combined with improving transport system, resulted in increased numbers of patients with cardiac wounds reaching the hospital alive. Most patients with penetrating cardiac injury, rather than blunt injury, present with a syndrome of either hemorrhagic shock or cardiac tamponade. And they should be operated upon as soon as possible. Often the atrioventricular valves and other important cardiac structures are also damaged by the penetrating instruments or missile. Both intracardiac communications and atrioventricular fistulas may result in significant left-to-right shunts accompanied by congestive heart failure, necessitating surgical correction. Usually, retained cardiac foreign bodies, which are almost always bullets or fragments of missiles, may lie within a cardiac chamber or in the myocardium. Emboli of bullets or other missiles from distant sites to the right side of the heart are numerous enough to require attention. Recently we experienced a case with intracardiac foreign body due to penetrating cardiac injury. A 19 year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to penetrating anterior chest wound by iron segment. The roentgenogram of the chest revealed a radio-opaque metallic shadow in left lower chest around the cardiac apex, mild blunting of left costophrenic space, but no cardiomegaly. During operation the foreign body was noted to be present in the cardiac chamber by the portable C-arm fluoroscopy. But during the manipulation it moved into left inferior pulmonary vein from left ventricle by way of left atrium. So we could manage to remove it from left inferior pulmonary vein by direct approach to the vein. It was iron segment, sized 0.lcm x0.6cmx0.5cm, with sharp margins. The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery except for chylopericardium and was discharged.

The ballistic efficiency of alumina tiles with various sizes, shapes, and target configurations was measured by the thick backing plate technique. The ballistic efficiency of square tiles roughly 8 mm thick struck by 12.7mm diameter bullets rapidly increased with tile size up to about 100mm, then tended to saturate. Circular shape tiles had lower ballistic efficiencies than those of square shape tiles for the same width and thickness. Small tiles (50mm) that were recessed in aluminum wells had a significantly higher ballistic efficiency than tiles placed on a flat surface. However, the difference in the ballistic efficiency between the two target configurtions became small at larger tile sizes. All the results could be explained by the effect of reflected waves at edges and the propagation of resulting cracks on the penetration process.

Changing trends in anticancer research have altered the treatment paradigm to the extent that it is difficult to investigate any anticancer drugs without mentioning immunotherapy. Thus, we are finally contemplating tumour regression using magic bullets known as immunotherapy drugs. This review explores the possible options and pitfalls in tumour regression by first elucidating the features of cancer and the importance of tumour microenvironments. Next, we evaluated the trends of anticancer therapeutics regulating tumour microenvironment. Finally, we introduced the concept of tumour regression and various targets of tumour microenvironment, which can be used in combination with current immunotherapy for tumour regression. In particular, we emphasize the importance of regulating the neurological manifestations of tumour microenvironment (N) in addition to inflammation (I) and hypoxia (H) in cancer.

The characteristics of an atmospheric pressure plasma jet (APPJ) in He discharge are measured with electrical and optical diagnostics methods. The discharge phenomenon in one cycle of the APPJ was diagnosed using intensified charge coupled device (ICCD) imaging. The gate mode images show that the propagation of plasma bullets happens only when the applied voltage on the inner conductor is positive. Moreover, the Schlieren image of the plasma jet shows that the laminar flow is changed into a turbulent flow when the plasma jet is turned on, especially when the gas flow rate increases.
