Previous studies have shown that the drying shrinkage of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is greater than that of natural aggregate concrete (NAC). Drying shrinkage is the fundamental reason for the cracking of concrete, and tensile creep caused by the restraint of drying shrinkage plays a significant role in the cracking because it can relieve the tensile stress and results in the delay of cracking occurrence. However, up till now, all research has been focusing on the compressive creep of RAC. Therefore, in this study, a uniaxial restrained shrinkage cracking test was executed to investigate the tensile creep properties caused by the restraint of drying shrinkage of RAC. The mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, and Young's modulus of RAC were also investigated in this study. The results confirmed that the tensile creep of RAC caused by the restraint of shrinkage was about 20-30 % larger than that of NAC.

3-dimentional precast recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) finite element models were developed by means of the platform OpenSees to implement sophisticated nonlinear model subjected to seismic loads. Efforts were devoted to the dynamic responses (including dynamic characteristics, acceleration amplifications, displacements, story drifts) and capacity curve. In addition, this study extended the prediction on dynamic response of precast RAC model by parametric study of material properties that represent the replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Principles and assumptions that represent characteristics of precast structure and influence of the interface between head of column and cast-in-place (CIP) joint on the stiffness of the joints was put forward and validated by test results. The comparison between simulated and tested results of the precast RAC frame shows a good correlation with most of the relative errors about 25% in general. Therefore, the adopted assumptions and the platform OpenSees are a viable approach to simulate the dynamic response of precast frames made of RAC.

Soluble or cell-bound IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP) does not bind IL-1 but rather forms a complex with IL-1 and IL-1 receptor type I (IL-1RI) resulting in signal transduction. Synthetic peptides to various regions in the Ig-like domains of IL-1RAcP were used to produce antibodies and these antibodies were affinity-purified using the respective antigens. An anti-peptide-4 antibody which targets domain III inhibited 70% of IL-$1\beta$-induced productions of IL-6 and PGE2 from 3T3-L1 cells. Anti-peptide-2 or 3 also inhibited IL-1-induced IL-6 production by 30%. However, antipeptide-1 which is directed against domain I had no effect. The antibody was more effective against IL-$1\beta$ compared to IL-$1\alpha$. IL-1-induced IL-6 production was augmented by coincubation with PGE2. The COX inhibitor ibuprofen blocked IL-1-induced IL-6 and PGE2 production. These results confirm that IL-1RAcP is essential for IL-1 signaling and that increased production of IL-6 by IL-1 needs the co-induction of PGE2. However, the effect of PGE2 is independent of expressions of IL-1RI and IL-1RAcP. Our data suggest that domain III of IL-1RAcP may be involved in the formation or stabilization of the IL-1RI/IL-1 complex by binding to epitopes on domain III of the IL-1RI created following IL-1 binding to the IL-1RI.

이 논문에서는 웹 온톨로지를 위한 오라클 보안 모델 기반의 구현 모델을 제안한다. 최근 웹 온톨로지에 대한 접근 제어를 위해 관계형 데이터베이스 보안 모델을 이용한 접근 제어 모델이 개발되고 있으며 대표적인 접근제어 모델이 RAC 보안 모델이다. 그러나 RAC 보안 모델은 관계형 데이터베이스의 표준 보안 모델에 기반을 두고 있으며 실제 관계형 데이터베이스 관리시스템의 구현 모델은 개발되어 있지 않다. 이 논문에서는 이러한 RAC 보안 모델의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 현재 가장 널리 사용되며 다양한 보안 정책을 제공하는 RDBMS인 오라클 기반의 구현 모델을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 RAC 구현 모델의 구현 및 평가에 대하여 기술한다. 특히, 제안하는 구현 모델은 오라클에서 제공하는 VPD 보안 모델을 이용하며 높은 실용성과 활용성을 제공한다.

CDK2 is a key regulator of cell cycle progression. In this study, we screened for miRNAs targeting CDK2 using a luciferase-3'-untranslated region reporter assay. Among 11 hit miRNAs, miR-509-3p reduced CDK2 protein levels and significantly inhibited cancer cell growth. Microarray, Western blotting, and luciferase reporter analyses revealed additional targets of miR-509-3p, including Rac1 and PIK3C2A. Overexpression of miR-509-3p induced G1 cell-cycle arrest and inhibited colony formation and migration. RNAi experiments indicated that the growth-inhibitory effects of miR-509-3p may occur through down-regulation of CDK2, Rac1, and PIK3C2A. Targeting of multiple growth regulatory genes by miR-509-3p may contribute to effective anti-cancer therapy.

The computational flow analysis using LES technique was introduced to investigate the flow field improvement of an indoor RAC chassis consisting of a rear-guider, a stabilizer and a cross-flow fan. This unsteady three-dimensional numerical analysis was carried out by the commercial SC/Tetra software. The edge blocks were adopted in this study as a tool for the flow field improvement of an indoor RAC. In view of the results so far achieved, the edge blocks cause the center of an eccentric vortex to be stable along all length of a cross-flow fan, and then, the static pressure and the velocity vector show a stable distributions. In consequence, because the edge blocks eliminate a reverse flow near the edges, an exhausting flow becomes to be stable and uniform.

극성용매(L; ANT, MFA, DMSO, DMF, DMA)에서 $\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane)$^{2+}$의 화학평형 관계를 상온에서 분광광도법으로 연구하였다. ANT, MFA, DMSO, DMF, DMA일 때 평행상수 $K_1$은 각각 31.0, 27.5, 21.3 15.9, 6.4이었으며 $K_2$는 $K_1$보다 적은 값이었다. $\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-dacane)$^{2+}$ + L $\leftrightharpoons$ [$\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane){\cdot}L]$^{2+}$ : $K_1$[$\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane){\cdot}L)$^{2+}$ + L $\leftrightharpoons$ [$\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane){\cdot}$L_2$)$^{2+}$; $K_2$.ACT에서 Ni(II)-macrocycle 착이온의 d-d흡수에너지 ($cm^{-1}$와 환원 반파전위 ($E_{1/2}$, V vs. SCE)사이의 상관성을 조사하였다. d-d 전이에너지를 크게하는 거대고리 리간드일수록 착이온의 반파전위는 좀더 양의 값으로 이동하였다. Ni(rac-1[14]7-diene)$^{2+}$, Ni(meso-1[14]7-diene)$^{2+}$, Ni(1[14]4-diene)$^{2+}$, $\alpha$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane)$^{2+}$, $\beta$-Ni(rac-[14]-decane)$^{2+}$, Ni(meso-[14]-decane)$^{2+}$ 착이온의 환원반파전위는 각각 -1.419, -1.431, -1.450, -1.473, -1.480 (V vs. SCE)이었다. 몇 가지 용매에서 Ni(meso-[14]-decane)$^+$ 이성질체의 d-d전이에너지($\nu_{max},\;cm^{-1}$) 변화와 용매의 유전상수(${\varepsilon}/{\varepsilon}_0$) 관계를 고찰하였으며 ${\varepsilon}/{\varepsilon}_0$가 클수록 $\nu_{max}(cm^{-1})$는 증가하였다.

The first ORF of the ARV S1133 S1 segment encodes the nonstructural protein p10, which is responsible for the induction of cell syncytium formation. However, p10-dependent signaling during syncytium formation is fully unknown. Here, we show that dominant negative RhoA, Rho inhibitor C3 exoenzyme, ROCK/Rho-kinase inhibitor Y-27632 and Rac1 inhibitor NSC23766 inhibit p10-mediated cell fusion. p10 over-expression is concomitant with activation and membrane translocation of RhoA and Rac1, but not cdc42. RhoA and Rac1 downstream events, including JNK phosphorylation and transcription factor AP-1 and $NF-{\kappa}B$ activation, as well as MLC expression and phosphorylation are simultaneously activated by p10. p10 point mutant T13M possessed 20% fusion-inducing ability and four p10 fusion-deficient mutants V15M, V19M, C21S and L32A reduced or lost their ability to activate RhoA and Rac1 signaling. We conclude that p10-mediated syncytium formation proceeds by utilizing RhoA and Rac1-dependent signaling.
