Radiation damping due to wave propagation in unbounded domains may cause a significant reduction of structural vibrations when excited near resonance. Here a novel matrix-valued algebraic Pad$\acute{e}$-like stiffness formulation in the frequency-domain and a corresponding state equation in the time domain are elaborated for a soil-structure interaction problem with a layered soil excited in a transient manner by a flexible rotor during startup and shutdown. The contribution of radiation damping caused by a soil-layer upon a rigid bedrock is characterized by the corresponding amount of critical damping as it is used in structural dynamics.

We present recent human-vehicle interaction (HVI) research conducted in the area of defense and military application. Research topics discussed in this paper include: training simulation for overland navigation tasks; expertise effects in overland navigation performance and scan patterns; pilot's perception and confidence on an overland navigation task; effects of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) supervisory control on F-18 formation flight performance in a simulator environment; autonomy balancing in a manned-unmanned teaming (MUT) swarm attack, enabling visual detection of IED (Improvised Explosive Device) indicators through Perceptual Learning Assessment and Training; usability test on DaViTo (Data Visualization Tool); and modeling peripheral vision for moving target search and detection. Diverse and leading HVI study in the defense domain suggests future research direction in other HVI emerging areas such as automotive industry and aviation domain.

Recently, decades of robust researches on degenerative brain disorder have been highlighted on the interactive connection of gut and brain. In terms of inflammatory cytokine production, others have shown that Nucleotide-Binding Oligomerization Domain Containing 2 (NOD2) is involved with Leucine-Rich Repeat Kinase 2 (LRRK2). HEK293T cells were transiently co-transfected with Myc-tagged LRRK2 and Flag-tagged NOD2 and then followed by co-immunoprecipitation assay. In this study, we provide the novel finding of physical protein-protein interaction between NOD2 and LRRK2. G2019S variant has shown stronger interactions against NOD2 than those of wild type LRRK2. In an axis of NOD2-LRRK2 communication, it is believed to pave a new way in the understanding of the bidirectional molecular mechanism of brain disorder, including Parkinson's disease into gut inflammatory disease, including Crohn's disease.

We present a monolithic semi-implicit algorithm for solving fluid-structure interaction problem at small structural displacements. The algorithm uses one global mesh for the fluid-structure domain obtained by gluing the fluid and structure meshes which are matching on the interface. The continuity of velocity at the interface is automatically satisfied and the continuity of stress does not appear explicitly in the global weak form due to the action and reaction principle. At each time step, we have to solve a monolithic system of unknowns velocity and pressure defined on the global fluid-structure domain. Numerical results are presented.

In this study, the behavior characteristics of a hydrostatic thrust bearing used in hydraulic equipment was analyzed using a commercial finite element program, ADINA. The solid domain was modeled with the fluid domain simultaneously to solve the fully coupled problem, because this is a problem where a fully coupled analysis is needed in order to model the fluid-structure interaction(FSI). The results such as bearing deformation, stress, film thickness and lifting bearing force were obtained through FSI analysis, and then they were compared with the results calculated from the classical method, a single step sequential analysis. It was found that the result difference between two analyses was increased according to the injection pressure. Therefore, in case of high pressure loading, it is desirable to conduct the FSI analysis to examine the deformation characteristics of a hydrostatic slipper bearing.

The energetics of defects in the presence of domain walls in $LiNbO_3$ are characterized using density-functional theory calculations. Domain walls show stronger interactions with antisite defects than with interstitial defects or vacancies. As a result, antisite defects act as a strong pinning center for the domain wall in $LiNbO_3$. Analysis of migration behavior of the antisite defects across the domain wall shows that the migration barrier of the antisite defects is significantly high, such that the migration of antisite defects across the domain wall is energetically not preferable. However, further study on excess electrons shows that the migration barrier of antisite defects can be lowered by changing the charge states of the antisite defects. So, excess electrons can enhance the migration of antisite defects and thus facilitate domain wall movement by weakening the pinning effect.

The transactivation potential of HIV-1 Vpu was identified from the yeast two-hybrid screening process. The helix II domain of HIV-1 Vpu protein and mutant Vpu protein lacking the transmembrane domain exhibited transactivation of the LacZ and Leu2 reporter genes carrying LexA upstream activating sequences, but full-length HIV-1 Vpu and the helix I domain of HIV-1 Vpu did not. The helix II domain of HIV-1 Vpu consists of a number of acidic amino acids, and is especially rich in glutamic acid, a characteristic of many transcription factors. This result suggests that protein-protein interaction may occur through the acidic helix II domain of HIV-1 Vpu.

Phytochromes are red and far-red light absorbing photoreceptors for photomorphogenesis in plants. The red/far wavelength reversible biliproteins are made up of two structural domains. The light-perceiving function of the photoreceptor resides in the N-terminal domain, whereas the signal transducing regulatory function is located within the C-terminal domain. The characteristic role of the phytochromes as phtosensory molecular switches is derived from the phototransformation between two distinct spectral forms, the red light absorbing Pr and the far-red light absorbing Pfr forms. The photoinduced Pr Pfr phototransformation accompanies subtle conformational changes throughout the phytochrome molecule. The conformational signals are subsequently transmitted to the C-terminal domain through various inter-domain crosstalks and induce the interaction of the activated C-terminal domain with phytochrome interacting factors. Thus the inter-domain crosstalks play critical roles in the photoactivation of the phytochromes. Posttranslational modifications, such as the phosphorylation of Ser-598, are also involved in this process through conformational changes and by modulating inter-domain signaling.

Bacteriophage lambda integrase carries out the site-specific recombination of lambda. Integrase contains two DNA binding domains with distinct sequence specificity, namely arm-type binding and core-type binding domains. The amino-terminal arm-binding domain is structurally related to the three-stranded $\beta-sheet$ family of DNA-binding domains. Integrase binding to the high affinity arm-type site by the amino-terminal domain facilitates Int binding to the low affinity core-type site, where the cleavage and strand exchange occurs. The amino-terminal domain of Int also modulates the core-binding and catalysis through intramolecular domain-domain interaction and/or intermolecular interactions between Int monomers. In addition, the amino-terminal domain interacts cooperatively with excisionase during excision. This indicates that amino-terminal domain of Int plays an important role in formation of proper higher-order nucleoprotein structure required for lambda site-specific recombination.

본 연구는 다수준 포함 교수법(multi-level instruction)을 적용한 초등과학 프로그램을 개발하고, 이를 적용한 수업 과정에서 나타나는 학생들 간의 언어적 상호작용을 분석한 것이다. 이러한 연구 목적을 달성하기 위하여 경기도 H시의 B초등학교 5학년 27명을 대상으로 이질적인 4명의 학생으로 소집단을 구성하였고, 매 차시마다 2개 소집단의 수업 과정을 녹화하였다. 5학년 2학기 '1. 우리의 몸' 단원을 대상으로 다수준 포함 교수법을 적용한 초등과학 프로그램을 개발하였다. 언어적 상호작용은 크게 인지적 영역과 정의적 영역 두 가지 측면으로 분석하였다. 인지적 영역은 응답, 질문, 의견제시, 의견받기로 정의적 영역은 행동참여, 분위기 조절로 세분화하여 분석하였다. 다수준 포함 교수법을 적용한 초등과학 프로그램에서 학생들의 언어적 상호작용 분석 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 인지적 영역과 관련된 언어적 상호작용이 정의적 영역과 관련된 상호작용에 비해 많이 일어났다. 둘째, 인지적 영역에서는 중위수준 아동의 언어적 상호작용 빈도가 가장 높았고, 정의적 영역에서는 상위수준 아동의 빈도가 가장 높았다. 인지적, 정의적 영역에서 모두 하위수준 아동의 빈도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 인지적, 정의적 영역에서 상위-중위수준 아동 사이에는 언어적 상호작용의 빈도에 차이가 없었다. 그리고 상위-하위수준 아동보다 중위-하위수준 아동에게서 유의하게 차이가 있는 상호작용 유형이 더 많았다. 중위-하위수준 아동은 행동 참여를 제외한 모든 영역에서 유의한 차이가 있었다. 넷째, 시간이 지날수록 전반적으로 아동들의 언어적 상호작용의 빈도가 증가하고 있었다. 또한 성취수준에 관계없이 활발한 상호작용이 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있었다.
