Rubber chemicals such as accelerators, antidegradants, vulcanizing agents, processing agents and retarders are very important to the production and protection of tires and rubber goods. The use of accelerators and antidegradants are evaluated in various tire components. This paper will focus on how to vulcanize tires economically and maintain the physical properties of each tire component without severe degradation due to oxygen, heat and ozone. Also, new non-nitrosoamine accelerators and non-staining antiozonants will be discussed. Lastly, the future requirements of antidegradants and accelerators in the tire industry will be reviewed. Tires have been vulcanized with Sulfenamides as primary accelerators and either Guamdine's or Thiurams as secondary accelerators to achieve proper properties at service conditions. However, interior components such as the carcass can be vulcanized with Thiazoles as a primary accelerator to cure faster than the external components. Using the combination of Sulfenamide with secondary accelerators in a tire tread compound and the combination of a Thiazole and Guanidine in a carcass compound will be presented with performance data. Uniroyal Chemical and another Rubber Chemical Manufacturer have developed, "Tetrabenzyl Thiuram Disulfide," (TBzTD) as a non-Nitrosoamine accelerator, which could replace Nitrosoamine generating Thiurams. This new accelerator has been evaluated in a tread compound as a secondary accelerator. Also, Flexsys has developed N-t-butyl-2-benzothiazole Sulfenamide (TBSI) as a non-Nitrosoamine accelerator which could replace 2-(Morpholinothio) -benzothiazole (MBS), a scorch delayed Sulfendamide accelerator. TBSI has been evaluated in a Natural Rubber (NR) belt skim compound vs. MBS. An optimum low rolling resistant cure system has been developed in a NR tread with Dithiomorpholine (DTDM). Also, future requirements for developing accelerators will be discussed such as the replacement of DTDM and other stable crosslink systems. Antidegradants are divided into two different types for use in tire compounds. Internal tire compounds such as apex, carcass, liner, wire breaker, cushion, base tread and bead compounds are protected by antioxidants against degradation from oxygen and heat due to mechanical shear. The external components such as sidewall, chafer and cap tread com-pounds are protected from ozone by antiozonants and waxes. Various kinds of staining and non-staining antioxidants have been evaluated in a tire carcass compound. Also, various para-phenylene diamine antiozonants have been evaluated in a tire sidewall compound to achieve the improved lifetime of the tire. New non-staining antiozonants such as 2, 4, 6-tris-(N-1, 4-dimethylpentyl-p-phenylene diamine) 1, 3, 5 Trizine (D-37) and un-saturated Acetal (AFS) will be discussed in the tire sidewall to achieve better appearance. The future requirements of antidegradants will be presented to improve tire performance such as durability, better appearance and longer lasting tires.

Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) includes a group of organic acids found in natural foods such as sugarcane (glycolic acid), milk (lactic acid), apples (malic acid) and oranges (citric acid). Earlier studies demonstrated the effect of AHAs on the skin by diminishing the adhesiveness of the corneal layer and increasing the viable epidermal thickness. Recent data suggest that AHAs have some effects on the dermal component of skin and even affect the aging process of the skin. A previous study revealed increased collagen production by treatment with glycolic acid among AHAs in vitro. However, the mechanism of the regulation of collagen production by glycolic acid was unclear. In present study, we tried to demonstrate the effect of glycolic acid on human dermal fibroblasts and to unveil the mechanism of regulation of collagen production by glycolic acid in human dermal fibroblasts: proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis and degradation by collagenases in fibroblasts. Our results suggested that glycolic acid had no effect on proliferation and cytotoxicity of adult human dermal fibroblasts. However, glycolic acid not only induced the increase of the collagen synthesis in human dermal fibroblasts at lower concentration than 0.1 % but also inhibited MMP-2 activity of human dermal fibroblast in the range between 0.01 and 0.4% and MMP-9 activity of human dermal fibroblast in the range between 0.06 and 0.09%. In summary, our results suggest that glycolic acid may increase wrinkle reduction partially by both increase in collagen synthesis and decrease in collagen degradation.

인공지능, 딥러닝, 머신러닝 등이 괄목할만한 발전을 이루면서 2016년경부터 100여개의 언어를 비롯하여 가장 보편적으로 사용되어 온 Google Translate (구글기계번역기)는 자연언어처리(NLP) 분야와 외국어 학습 등 언어활용 분야에 독보적인 역할을 하고 있다. 본 논문은 구글기계번역기, Google Translate에 있어서, 영어모국어화자가 가진 통사문법적-범주적 지식의 중요성과 그 영향력에 대해 살펴보고자 한다. Jackendoff (1999)는 맹인을 위한 독서기계(Reading Machine)등을 구축하려면 통사구조적 지식과 문법적 분해력(parsing)이 매우 중요하고, 적어도 현재의 컴퓨터는 엄청난 발전을 이루기는 하였으나, 인간의 두뇌를 따라갈 수 없다는 결론을 내렸다. Jackendoff가 논의했던 몇 가지 어휘항목과 통사구조적 중의성을 활용하여, Google Translate 기계발음번역기를 통해 그의 주장을 확인하는 실험을 실시하고, 그 결과를 분석하는 것이 이 논문의 목표이다. 이 연구는 Jackendoff의 주장처럼 L1 화자가 내재화한 통사문법적, 범주-구조적 지식은 NLP, 혹은 "독서기계"등의 구축에서 중요하며, 이는 Chomsky (1986, 2005)등에서 논의된 내재적언어 (I-language)의 핵심이라는 점을 시사한다.

In the summers of 1997 and 1998 and in February of 2000 we made 570 measurements of the ambient geomagnetic field 120 cm above the pavement surface of State Route 130, south of Pahoa, the island of Hawaii using a three-component fluxgate magnetometer. We measured at every 15.2 m (50 feet) interval covering a distance of 6, 310 m (20, 704 ft) where both historic and pre-historic highly magnetic basalt flows underlie. We also collected 197 core samples from eight road cuts, 489 specimens of which were subject to AF demagnetizations at 5 - 10 mT level up to a maximum field of 60 mT. We observed significant inclination anomalies ranging from a minimum of $31^{\circ}$ to a maximum $40^{\circ}$ where a uniform inclination value of $36.7^{\circ}$ (International Geomagnetic Reference Field, IGRF) was expected. Since the mean of the observed inclinations is approximately $35^{\circ}$ we assume that the study area is slightly affected by the magnetic terrain effect to a systematically shallower inclinations for being located in the regionally sloping surface of the southern side of the island (Baag, et al., 1995). We observed inclination anomalies showing wider (spacial) wavelength (160 - 600 m) and higher amplitudes in the historic lava flows area than in the northern pre-historic flows. Our observations imply that preexisting inclination anomalies such as those that we observed would have been interpreted as paleosecular variation (PSV). These inclination anomalies can best be attributed to concealed underground highly magnetic dikes, channel type lava flows, on-and-off hydrothermal activities through fissure-like openings, etc. Both the within- and between-site dispersions of natural remanent magnetization (NRM) are largest (up to ${\pm}7^{\circ}$) above the flows of 1955, while the area of pre-historic flows in the northern part of the study area exhibit the smallest dispersion. Nevertheless, mean inclinations of each historic flow of 1955 and 1790 are almost identical to that of the corresponding present field, whereas mean of NRM (after AF demagnetization) inclinations for each of the four pre-historic lava flow units is twelve to thirteen degrees lower than the present field inclination. We observed three cases of very large inclination variations from within a single flow, the best fitting curves of which are linear, second and third order polynomials each from within a single flow, whereas no present field variations are observed. This phenomena can be attributed to the notion that local magnetic anomalies on the surface of an active volcano are not permanent, but are transient. Therefore we believe that local magnetic anomalies of an active volcano may be constantly modified due to on going subsurface injections and circulations of hot material and also due to wide spacial and temporal distribution of highly magnetic basaltic flows that will constantly modify the topography which will in turn modify the local ambient geomagnetic field (Baag, et al., 1995). Our observations bring into question the general reliability of PSV data inferred from volcanic rocks, because on-going various geologic and geophysical activities associated with active volcano would continuously deflect and modify the ambient geomagnetic field.

This study was designed to identify, describe and classify orientations of cancer patient's family members to death and to identify factors related to their attitudes on death. Death to the male is understood as a comprehensive system and believed to be highly subjective experience. Therefore attitude on death is affected by personalities. As an attempt to measure the subjective meaning toward death, the unstructured Q-methodology was used. Korean Death Orientation Questonaire prepared by Kim was used. Item-reliability and Sorting-reliability were tested. Forty five cancer patients' family members hospitalized in one university medical center in Seoul were sampled. Sorting the 65 Q-itmes according to the level of personal agreement ; A forced normal distribution into the 11 levels, were carried out by the 45 P-samples. The demographic data and information related to death orientation of the P-sample was collected through face to face in depth interviews. Data was gathered from August 30 till September 22, 1995. The Z-scores of the Q-items were computed and principal component factor analysis was carried out by PC-QUANL Program. Three unique types of the death orientation were identified and labeled. Type I consists of twenty P-samples. Life and death was accepted as people's destiny, They firmly believed the existence of life after life. They kept aloof from death and their concern was facing the and of the life with dignity, They were in favor of organ donation. Type II consists of Nine P-Samples. They considered that death was the end of everything and did not believed the life after life. They were very concerned about the present life. Type III consists of Sixteen P-samples. They regarded the death as a natural phenomena. And they considered that the man is just a traveller and is bound to head for the next life which is believed to be free of agony, pain or darkness. They neither feared death nor its process. Their conserns were on the activities to prepare themselves for the eternal-life after death. Thus, it was concluded that there were three distinctiven type of attitudes on death among cancer patient family members, and their death attitudes were affected by demographic and socio-cultural factors such as sex, education, and religion.

최근에 종양을 예방하거나 치료하기 위하여 안전하고 효과적인 항암화합물의 개발이 절실하게 요구되고 있다. 그 중에서 전통약재로부터 유래된 천연화합물은 항암후보소재로 관심의 대상이 되어왔다. 본 연구에서 사용된 aesculetin은 약용식물로 널리 알려진 산초나무의 주요 성분이다. Aesculetin은 항염증 및 항균과 같은 다양한 생물학적 효과를 가진다고 보고되었다. 그러나 세포침윤과 관련된 효과는 아직 발견되지 않았다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 사람섬유아육종세포(HT1080)에서 항산화와 기질금속단백질분해효소(MMPs)에 대한 aesculetin의 효과를 조사하였다. 항산화 효과에 대한 연구에서 aesculetin은 DPPH radical에 대한 소거능뿐 만 아니라 환원력이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 우선, MTT 실험을 이용하여 HT1080세포에서 aesculetin의 2 μM 이하의 농도에서 독성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. MMP-2와 MMP-9의 활성과 단백질 발현 수준에 대한 aesculetin의 억제효과는 gelatin zymography와 western blot을 이용하여 조사되었다. Aesculetin은 세포침윤과 관련된 MMP-9의 활성의 억제효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 더욱이, aesculetin은 TIMP-1의 단백질 발현 수준을 증가시켰으나, PMA로 자극된 MMP-9의 단백질 발현 수준을 감소시켰다. 더불어 aesculetin은 농도의존적으로 암전이와 관련된 세포침윤을 현저하게 억제하였다. 위의 결과들을 바탕으로, aesculetin은 세포침윤과 관련된 MMP의 활성과 발현의 억제를 통해 세포침윤을 예방할 수 있는 소재로서 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 디지털화된 형태로 취득 및 저장된 홀로그램 신호를 부호화하는 새로운 기술을 제안한다. 디지털 홀로그램의 독특한 특성을 파악하여 적절한 형태의 데이터로 변환한 후에 현재 널리 사용되고 있는 표준 압축 기술들에 적용하고자 한다. 전처리과정 이후에 부호화를 위해 추출된 홀로그램은 위치적인 다시점 특성을 이용하여 분할된다. 분할된 홀로그램은 2차원의 여러 시점에서 객체를 촬영한 것과 유사한 특성을 보인다. 시각적으로 잡음과 유사한 형태로 관찰되는 홀로그램의 회절 패턴은 그 자체로써 압축에 이용하기 어렵다. 따라서 홀로그램 생성 원리와 유사하면서 고속 변환이 가능한 2차원 DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform)를 이용하여 분할된 홀로그램을 주파수 변환한다. 주파수 변환된 분할 영역들은 시간적 및 공간적 상관도에 따라서 3차원 스캔 과정을 거치면서 하나의 비디오 스트림으로 구성된다. 비디오 스트림의 한 프레임에 해당하는 분할된 영역들은 다양한 범위를 가지는 계수들로 구성되는데 이를 재구성한 후에 부호화 알고리즘을 이용하여 압축한다. 실험 결과를 살펴보면 제안한 알고리즘은 기존의 기술에 비해서 16배 이상의 높은 압축율에서 더 좋은 복원 성능을 보였다.

As in the past, we are concerned today with the magnitudes of mineral resources and the adequacy of these resources to meet future needs. In looking at global resource issues, we should consider the need for the resource, its supply, and the environmental consequences of using it. The need for a resource can become a resource dependency, specially as the global population expands and each of us becomes Increasingly dependent upon hundreds of natural materials. Therefore, our great mineral consumption makes the human population a true “Geologic Force”, which will be even more significant in the future when the global population is projected to reach alarming proportions. Although our supplies of mineral resources probably will be sufficient for the 21st century, the uneven distribution of minerals in the Earth's crust almost certainly will continue to be a major problem. The most likely result will be major shifts in both prices and sources of supply of many mineral resources. As for energy resources, we must avoid an obsessive dependency on one fuel and expand instead to other energy resources. Finally, because the use of resources affects the environment, we need to focus on resource exploitation and global pollution, particularly in regard to ground water and arable land. We must manage our resources so as to be in balance with our environment. And the accelerated industrialization of South Korean economy over the last three decades has resulted in the mass consumption of mineral commodities. South Korea has around 50 useful mineral commodities for the mineral industry, among 330 kinds of minerals described. The component ratio of the mining industry sector of the gross national production(GNP) in South Korea dropped from 1.2% in 1971 to 0.34% in 1997 due to the rapid growth of other industries in the country. During the period from 1971 to 1997, the average growth rate of mineral consumption in South Korea was 9.13% yearly and that of GMP per capita was 14.97%. The mineral consumptions per capita showed a continual increase during the last 30 years as follows(parenthesis: GW per capita); 0.99 metric tons in 1997($289), 3.83 metric tons in 1989($5, 210), 6.11 metric tons in 1995 ($10, 037), and 6.66 metric tons in 1997($9, 511). The total amount of mineral consumption in South Korea was 33 million tons of 32 mineral commodities in 1971, and 306 million metric tons of 47 mineral commodities in 1997.
