This study has been performed to investigate normal synaptic organizations in the subesophageal ganglion and terminaiion of antennal receptor cells in the ipsilateral subesophageal gan91ion of Pieris rapae. The various normal synaptic organizations in subesophageal ganglion could be differentiated into the five types. The proximal removal of a left antenna resulted in the weakly-dark, semidark and dark degenerations in the type I bostons of the ipsilateral subesophageal ganglion. Therefore, it was concluded that the axon terminals of the receptor cells projecting from the antenna into the brain form the type 1 synapses together with the dendrites in the ipsilateral subesophageal ganglion.

The neuronal cytoskeleton is essential for establishment of neuronal polarity, but mechanisms controlling generation of polarity in the cytoskeleton are poorly understood. The nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, Fer, has been shown to bind to microtubules and to interact with several actin-regulatory proteins. Furthermore, Fer binds p120 catenin and has been shown to regulate cadherin function by modulating cadherin-${\beta}$-catenin interaction. Here we show involvement of Fer in neuronal polarization and neurite development. Fer is concentrated in growth cones together with cadherin, ${\beta}$-catenin, and cortactin in stage 2 hippocampal neurons. Inhibition of Fer-p120 catenin interaction with a cell-permeable inhibitory peptide (FerP) increases neurite branching. In addition, the peptide significantly delays conversion of one of several dendrites into an axon in early stage hippocampal neurons. FerP-treated growth cones also exhibit modified localization of the microtubule and actin cytoskeleton. Together, this indicates that the Fer-p120 interaction is required for normal neuronal polarization and neurite development.

The effects of pressure during solidification on macro-and micro-structures have been studied in pure aluminium and Al-Si alloys. The application of pressure during solidifcation accelerated both equiaxed and columnar dendritic-growth due to stimulating of equiaxed survival and faster preferential growth of primary dendrites against the parallel direction of heat flow. Burden-Hunt model was modified to express the significant changes of CET behaviours under pressure. A further point to be noted was that greatly fine eutectic silicon flakes ($0.5\;{\times}\;13{\mu}m$) with the decrease of halo layers ($7{\mu}m$) of aluminium riched phases in the periphery of primary silicon particles were observed when pressure was applied during solidification.

Single crystals of zinc tungstates were grown by the Czochralski method. To obtain the seed crystals various methods were employed including 4 points platinum wirse which dipped the melt and the capillary action from the melt led the 3 differently oriented seeds such as [100], [010] and [001] directions. Optimum growing conditions were observed as neck diameter 2mm rotation speed 50-60 rpm maximum diameter 15mm and pulling rate 0-10 mm/hr. Dendrites covered on the olidified surface in a platinum crucible were turned out to be [001] direction because obviously this crystal has the strong [001] preferential growth habit. The (100) and (010) planes of single crystals showed the slip planes and the (010) plane showed the perfect cleavage surface.

During the past decade, substantial research effort has been directed into the development of rechargeable lithium batteries. Although some improvements in cycle life and efficiency have been achieved, the reversibility of the lithium electrode remains as a significant problem in aprotic solvent based electrolyte. The major problems limiting cycle life are short circuits resulting from growth of lithium dendrites, and macroscopic shape changes during the recharge process. As an anode material of lithium rechargeable battery, amorphous carbon materials have been studied extensively because of their high electrochemical performance. The polyacene materials prepared from phenol refine at relatively low temperature(550∼750$^{\circ}C$) show a highly Li-doped state up C$_2$Li state without liberation of Li cluster. So it has largely layered distance 4${\AA}$. The Li storage mechanism as well as the large hysterisis observed in the voltage-capacity profile of the amorphous carbone materials are still the subjects of controversy. We prepared each polyacene material various temperature and investigated electrochemical property. The mole ratio of [H]/[C] is 0.027∼0.015 range.

Many age-dependent neurodegenerative diseases are associated with the accumulation of abnormally folded proteins within neurons. One of the major proteolytic pathways in the cell is the autophagy pathway, which targets cytoplasmic contents and organelles to the lysosomes for bulk degradation under various physiological and stressful conditions. Although the importance of autophagy in cellular physiology is well appreciated, its precise roles in neurodegeneration remain largely unclear. Recent studies indicate that components of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) are important in the autophagy pathway. Reduced activity of some ESCRT subunits leads to the accumulation of autophagosomes and failure to clear intracellular protein aggregates. Interestingly, rare mutations in CHMP2B, an ESCRT-III subunit, are associated with frontotemporal dementia linked to chromosome 3 (FTD3). Mutant CHMP2B proteins seem to disrupt the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes in cell culture models. These findings suggest a potential mechanism for the pathogenesis of FTD3 and possibly other neurodegenerative diseases as well.

In order to simultaneously enhance the strength and plasticity in nanostructured / ultrafine-grained alloys, a strategy of introducing multiple length scales into microstructure (or called bimodal composite microstructure) has been developed recently. This paper presents a brief overview of the alloy developement and the mechanical behavior of ultrafine-grained Ti-Fe-based alloys with different length-scale phases, i.e., micrometer-sized primary phases (dendrites or eutectic) embedded in an ultrafine-grained eutectic matrix. These ultrafine-grained titanium bimodal composites could be directly obtained through a simple single-step solidification process. The as-prepared composites exhibit superior mechanical properties, including high strength of 2000-2700 MPa, large plasticity up to 15-20% and high specific strength. Plastic deformation of the ultrafine-grained titanium bimodal composites occurs through a combination of dislocation-based slip in the nano-/ultrafine scale matrix and constraint multiple shear banding around the micrometer-sized primary phase. The microstructural charactersitcs associated to the mechanical behaivor have been detailed discussed.

일반적으로 에어로졸 상의 고체입자에 대한 분리기술은 크게 전기집진기술과 여과집진기술, 습식기술 등으로 나눌 수 있다. 최근 연료의 탈황으로 인해 배출되는 먼지의 비저항성이 높아져 전기집진기술의 효율이 크게 떨어져 여과집진기술로 조금씩 대체되어가고 있다. 그러나 여과집진기술의 경우, Flow Gas 포집기작의 영향이 지배적이지 못한 l㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대한 제어가 효과적이지 못한 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 1㎛ 미만의 입자들에 대해 정전기력을 부여해서 전기적응집에 의한 입자성장을 유도하여 여과집진시에 필터 표면에 Dendrites Structure를 형성하게끔 유도하여 AP 증가율을 낮추고자 한다. 이에 따른 직접적인 효과는 탈진회수의 감소로 탈진시 소요되는 동력비의 감소와 탈진시 마모나 파손되는 여과포의 수명연장으로 실제 산업공정에 적용시 운전유지비의 감소효과를 꾀할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Semisolid A356 slurries were prepared by electromagnetic stirring casting and by inoculation of Al-5Ti-B master alloy. As stirring time and addition of Al-5Ti-B are different, the grain size of the primary phase is different. Through the experiment of rheocast in a Buhler horizontal die casting machine, it was found that the finer the equiaxed primary dendrites, the smoother the die filling and better cast quality. Small equiaxed primary dendrite also results in less liquid segregation on the surface.

상업용 자동차 축전지 극판재료로 각형의 초정 Pb 재료에 적은 부피 분율의 Cu상을 가지는 Pb-Cu 합금을 응고시킬 때 각형의 초정 Cu 수지상이 석출되었다. 중요한 응고변수인 냉각속도와 Cu조성의양에 따른 각형의 Cu상의 형태변화를 조사하기 위하여 Pb-1wt%Cu, pb-3wt%Cu, Pb-5wt%Cu, Pb-9wt%Cu, Pb-12wt%Cu, 등의 5가지 합금이 선택되어 노냉, 공냉, 금형냉, 수냉의 4가지 냉각방법을 이용하여 실험하였다. 일반적으로 냉각속도와 Cu성분이 증가함에 따라 Cu상의 각형정도가 감소하였으며 결국 가장 빠른 냉각인 수냉각시에는 수지상 형태가 정출되지 않고 구형의 형태가 정출 되었다.
