Objectives: Several toxins and molecules are able to damage the liver, causing the hepato-toxicity. This disorder can be protected naturally, by some essential oils obtained from different plants. In this review we are cited some of these compounds that have been tested by their hepatoprotective effect. Methods: We reviewed 83 articles published between 1981 and 2018 in English via three databases Sciencedirect, Springer and PubMed. So, we have used the keywords: Hepatoprotective effect, liver disease, plants and essential oils. Results and conclusion: In this work, we classified the plants; contain the essential oils, in alphabetical order as a table containing the scientific, family names, information plants, the experimental assay and the results obtained from the hepatoprotective studies. We have described 27 species belonging to 12 families: Lamiaceae (7 species), Asteraceae (6 species), Umbellifereae (3 species), Apiaceae (3 species) are the main families which enclose the species that was studied. The study also includes the major compounds isolated from some of these essential oils. The most of those compounds belong to terpene class essentially cineol, carvacrol and thymol. Thus, the different essential oils that have been cited in this review were shown that have an antioxidant activity.

Interoperability has been the problem of CAD/CAM systems. Starting from 1980's, national and international organizations have addressed the issue through development and release of standards for the exchange of geometric and nongeometric design data. To CAD/CAM vendors, the task of interpreting and implementing these standards falls into their products. This task is a balancing action between users' needs, available development resources, and the technical specifications of standards. This paper explores an area of CAD/CAM systems development, particularly the implementation of the effective exchange files translators'. A new approach is introduced, which proposes to enclose all the translation operations concerning each exchange format to a separate DLL, thus making a 'plug-in.' Then, this plug-in could be used together with the CAD/CAM system or with specialized translation software. This approach allows to create new translators rapidly and to gain the reliable, high-efficiency, and reusable program code. The second part of the paper concerns the possible problems of translators' development. These difficulties often come from the exchange standards' misunderstanding or ambiguity in standards. All examples come from the authors' practice experiences of dealing with CAD/CAM systems.

The incidence of melioidosis cases caused by the gram-negative pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei (BP) is seeing an increasing trend that has spread beyond its previously known endemic regions. Biofilms produced by BP have been associated with antimicrobial therapy limitation and relapse melioidosis, thus making it urgently necessary to understand the mechanisms of biofilm formation and their role in BP biology. Microbial cells aggregate and enclose within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) to form biofilm. The transition mechanism of bacterial cells from planktonic state to initiate biofilm formation, which involves the formation of surface attachment microcolonies and the maturation of the biofilm matrix, is a dynamic and complex process. Despite the emerging findings on the biofilm formation process, systemic knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation in BP remains fractured. This review provides insights into the signaling systems, matrix composition, and the biosynthesis regulation of EPSs (exopolysaccharide, eDNA and proteins) that facilitate the formation of biofilms in order to present an overview of our current knowledge and the questions that remain regarding BP biofilms.

최근 이동 통신과 GPS 기술의 발달로 위치 기반 서비스에 대한 요구 및 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이동체 색인에 관한 기존 연구는 시간 도메인에 따라 과거 궤적 색인과 현재 및 미래 위치 색인으로 분류된다. 그러나 실세계 응용에서는 과거 궤적뿐만 아니라 현재 및 미래 위치 검색을 모두 요구하므로 모든 시간 도메인에 대한 질의를 지원하는 통합 색인을 개발해야 한다. 이 논문에서는 이동체의 과거 궤적을 표현하는 3차원 공간상의 선분과 이동체의 현재 및 미래 위치를 표현하는 시간에 대한 선형 함수를 하나의 색인에 구성함으로써 이동체의 과거, 현재, 미래의 위치 데이터가 통합된 새로운 색인인 PCR-tree(Past, Current R-tree)을 제안한다. PCR-tree 는 노드 내에 포함된 과거, 현재, 미래 위치 데이터에 대한 새로운 경계 영역을 가지며 색인의 모든 엔트리에 대한 단일 인터페이스를 제공한다. 그리고, 제안된 색인과 색인 실험 도구를 구현하여 모든 시간 도메인에 대한 질의 처리가 가능함을 보인다.

This study primarily concerns the cases recently held as to the formation of contract under the CISG. In order to put forward the most plausible direction to interpret the rules on the formation of contract under the CISG, it particularly deals with the followings. First, it scrutinizes the rules on the formation of contract, focusing on the requirements of offer and acceptance, the time when such offer and acceptance become effective, the issues on the battle of forms. Second, it introduces two recent interesting cases regarding the formation of contract and provides legal and practical advice to the contracting parties when they intend to conclude a contract under the CISG as a governing law. The followings are practical points that the parties should consider when they enter into contract. First, as any signature or intial made in the offer could be regarded as an acceptance, the parties are required to clarify the meaning of such signature or initials before the conclusion of contract. Second, it is not necessarily required one's signature for an offer to become effective but his name. Third, standard terms cannot be incorporated into the contract simply by reference to web-page or other documents. In order for such terms to be incorporated, it may be necessary to enclose them in the offer or to bring the other party's attention to them. Forth, one should remember that an acceptance by act become effective not when such act is complete, but when it is performed.

Histological observations of the barbels of torrent catfish (Amblycipitidae) in Korea are reported. The bullhead torrent catfish (Liobagrus andersoni) and Korean torrent catfish (L. obesus) have eight obvious barbels in two pairs each on the maxilla and mandible. Each barbel is composed of an epidermis, dermis, and central cartilagerod. The epidermis of the maxillary and mandibular barbels of the bullhead torrent catfish is thicker than that of the Korean torrent catfish (P<0.05) and is formed of stratified epithelium that contains many cutaneous taste buds and a few small club cells. There are many taste buds on the upper part of each barbel. The dermis consists of loose connective tissue fibers that enclose blood vessels and bundles of nerve fibers. The barbels of these fish can be categorized into stiff and flexible types and are accessory, feeding, and sensory structures. Our results validate the barbels as gustatory receptor organs for these fishes.

This study was performed to identify and quantify the asbestos fibers released from two types of asbestos-cement slate roofs. One is a plant roof installed in 1987 which contained 15% chrysotile, and the other is a residential roof installed before 1983 which contained 12% chrysotile. The concentrations of asbestos fibers in air surrounding asbestos-cement slate roofs and in the falling water harvested from the same roofs on rainy days ranged from 0.0012 to 0.0018 f/mL and from 1,764 f/L to 10,584 f/L, respectively. The concentration of inorganic fibers in the soil around asbestos-cement slate roofs was from 217 to 348 f/g. With the above results, the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) for the risk assessment of the asbestos fibers released from asbestos-cement slate based on US EPA IRIS (Integrated risk information system) model is within 5.5E-06 ~ 6.5E-06 levels which indicates that the levels do not exceed "the acceptable risk(1.0E-05)" recommended by WHO. The asbestos concentration in air, drained rainfall and soil around the plant slate roof was higher than that around residential slate roof, but the excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) from residential slate was higher than that from plant slate. This suggested that the enclose and encapsulation of residential roofs have priority in removal policy to minimize the exposure risk.

메탄 하이드레이트는 메탄가스를 포함하고 있는 얼음 같은 고체 상태 물질이며 물분자들이 가스 분자들을 둘러싸고 있는 clathrate 혼합물이다. 낮은 온도와 높은 압력의 환경에서 탄화수소 가스는 하이드레이트를 형성하며 이러한 형성 조건으로 인하여 극지방의 육성 퇴적층과 약 300 m 이상 수심이 깊은 해저 퇴적층 내에서 발견된다. 메탄 하이드레이트의 매장량은 정확히 예측하기는 어려우나 그 양은 엄청날 것으로 예상되며, 이와 같은 이유로 향후 천연가스 공급원으로서 주된 역할을 할 것으로 기대하고 있다. 그러나 그 생산 기술은 아직도 취약하며, 또한 메탄 하이드레이트의 해리에 의하여 발생하는 대기 온난화 문제도 심각한 환경 문제로서 대두되고 있다. 이와 같은 관점에서 본 논문에서는 메탄 하이드레이트 생산 기술 현황과 환경에 미치는 영향 등을 분석하여 메탄 하이드레이트의 실체와 연구 방향을 밝히고자 한다

다충유전체주로 부터 전자장산란 문제를 해석하기 위하여 혼합유한요소방법을 적용하였다. 실질적으로 펀미분방정식의 해가 주어지는 무경계화된 영역은 국소경계영역으로 나누어지게 되고, 나머지 무경 계영역은 경계적분방정식으로 나타내게 된다. 나누어진 국소표면은 원천, 비균질성과 비등방성을 포함 하도록 정의한다. 따라서, 정의된 국소경계영역에서 미분볍이 사용된다. 또한 나머지 경계영역에서 경계 적분방정식이 단지 자유공간Green 함수를 사용하도록 수식화 될 것이다. 그 결과로서, 국소경계는 경계조건을 갖는 경계값 문제로 나타나게 되고, 유한요소법으로 해석된다. 제시된 방법의 장점은 전자장 산란연구에 보다 간략하고, 효율적이다. 결과의 타당성은 다른방볍(경계 요소법)파 비교하여 입증하였다. 확장된 수치해석의 예로서 임의의 단면을 갖는 손실유전체주의 산란장을 해석하여 제시했다.

본 연구의 목적은 불포화 토양내 유기독성물질의 삼계평형분포에 미치는 함수율(0.3~1.255%)과 온도 ($4{\sim}40^{\circ}C$)의 영향을 정량화 하는데 있다. 본 실험에 사용한 토양은 한국토양의 주종을 이루고 있는 마사토이며, 유기독성물질로써는 Dichlolomethane과 1, 1, 1-Trichloloethane을 사용하였다. 토양내 수분이 분포하는 모양에 따른 두가지 가정(가정 1. 토양수분이 토양입자의 표면을 완전히 둘러싸고 있다. 가정 2. 부분적으로 둘러싸고 있다.)에 기초하여 구한 두 모델과 실험결과를 비교하였다. 이 실험의 결과 함수율이 증가함에 따라 $K_{eff}$ 값은 급격히 감소하는 것을 알았다. 또한 온도가 증가함에 따라 $K_{eff}$ 값은 감소하였는데, 함수율이 낮을수록 이러한 온도의 영향은 더욱 크게 나타났다. $K_{eff}$ 값은, 모델II를 이용하여 구한 예측치와 더 잘 일치하였다. 이 결과로부터 토양의 함수율이 매우 낮을 경우, 토양수분은 부분적으로 토양입자를 둘려싸고 있다는 가정이 타당함을 실험적으로 증명할 수 있게 되었다.
