A mixture of two different types of polyimide, one having an alkyl side chain and ordinarily used for homeotropic alignment, and the other without a side chain and ordinarily used for planar alignment, is deposited and baked at high temperatures. When the resulting cell is filled with a nematic liquid crystal, it is found that the pretilt angle is a function of the baking temperature or mixing ratio, and can be controlled continuously over the range 0 to 90.

We studied the nematic liquid crystal (NLC) aligning capabilities using the new alignment material of a SiC (Silicon Carbide) thin film. SiC thin film exhibits good chemical and thermal stability. The good thermal and chemical stability make SiC an attractive candidate for electronic applications. A homeotropic alignment of nematic liquid crystal by ion beam (IB) exposure on the SiC thin film surface was achieved. The about $87^{\circ}$ of stable pretilt angle was achieved at the range from $30^{\circ}$ to $45^{\circ}$ of incident angle. The good LC alignment is maintained by the ion beam alignment method on the SiC thin film surface until annealing temperature of $300^{\circ}C$. Consequently, homeotropic alignment effect of liquid crystal and the good thermal stability by the ion beam alignment method on the SiC thin film layer can be achieved.

Elliptical galaxies today appear aligned with the large-scale structure of the Universe, but it is still an open question when they acquire this alignment. Observational data are currently insufficient to provide constraints on the time evolution of intrinsic alignments, and hence existing models range from assuming that galaxies gain some primordial alignment at formation, to suggesting that they react instantaneously to tidal interactions with the large-scale structure. Using the cosmological hydrodynamical simulation Horizon-AGN, we measure the relative alignments between the major axes of galaxies and eigenvectors of the tidal field as a function of redshift. We focus on constraining the time evolution of the alignment of the main progenitors of massive z = 0 elliptical galaxies, the main weak-lensing contaminant at low redshift. We show that this population, which at z = 0 has a stellar mass above 10^10.4 M_⊙, transitions from having no alignment with the tidal field at z = 3, to a significant alignment by z = 1. From z = 0.5, they preserve their alignment at an approximately constant level until z = 0. We find a mass dependence of the alignment signal of elliptical progenitors, whereby ellipticals that are less massive today (10^10.4 < M/M_⊙ < 10^10.7) do not become aligned till later redshifts (z < 2), compared to more massive counterparts. We also present an extended study of progenitor alignments in the parameter space of stellar mass and galaxy dynamics, the impact of shape definition, and tidal field smoothing.

This study introduced the concept of Primacy Effect for the analysis of the observation characters by time so as to analyze the characters of information which the users observing the lobby in a public space get when they encounter the space. From the viewpoint that the first impression on any space can motivate the judgement of space and continuous activities, the time range with the observation characters which can be regarded as Primacy Effect was analyzed in the aspects of continuity and saccade. First, with the case of alignment by time on three times of continuous observation, the perception attributes of subjects were shown to be very different among one another depending on which time range was applied for alignment. Second, the subjects with low average value of continuous observation times were found to be relatively stable in "ii~iii time ranges" and the time range of "0~5.10 seconds" was known to be the time range of relatively stable analysis for the characters of subjects' primacy effect to be analyzed. Third, the change of the amount of acquired information could be examined concretely through the analysis of observation attributes by time range, and the time range of "iii time range" showed more stable changing characters than other time ranges. Fourth, in the "iii time range" set up as a proper time range for the analysis of primacy effect had higher average value of 3.9 times of observation frequency compared with 6 times of continuous observation. As a grand average, 6 times(19.3) of average observation value was between 3 times(21.3) and 9 times(16.9), which enabled to set up 6 times of continuous observation as the number of observation times for stable analysis of primacy effect.

Knee is a middle joint in lower extremity and has relationship with hip joint and ankle joint alignment. Therefore the knee joint alignment is very important in aspect of biomechanically. Knee joint alignment depend upon patellar stability. Instability of the patellofemoral articulation, in the form of patellar subluxation or dislocation may be associated with a number of factors. Normal range of patellofemoral angle is very different by the reporter and by the gender also.

In-situ photopolymerization of alkyl acrylate monomers in the presence of a nematic fluid provides a cellular matrix of liquid crystalline droplets in which the chemical structure of the encapsulating polymer exerts control over the alignment (anchoring) of the liquid crystalline molecules. Control is obtained by variation of the alkyl side chains and through copolymerization of two dissimilar monofunctional acrylates. Two monofunctional acrylates with opposing tendencies on copolymerization provide control over the tunability of anchoring over a wide temperature range. Using various acrylates we show that a uniform vertical alignment can be achieved over a large area. Utilizing this technique and a nematic with negative dielectric anisotropy, we have fabricated highly flexible liquid crytal based devices, with high contrast and fast response time, without using any alignment layer.

A few organosilicon compounds (OC) - both cyclic and linear siloxanes with different structure of the substituents - have been synthesized. Properties of the LC anchoring on OC films have been measured. The OC investigated provide the homogeneous planar alignment with LC tilt angle in the range from $0.7^{\circ}$ to $1.9^{\circ}$. An increase of the microrelief depth results in a small increase of the tilt angle. The azimuthal anchoring is better for the films of the OC without molecular microrelief or the OC comprising polar groups.

We investigate nematic liquid crystal (NLC) alignment on ion-beam exposed ZnO films. ZnO is optically transparent material in the visible range. We optimized the deposition parameters such as deposition temperature and gas ratio for high transmittance and resistivity. Using ion-beam treated ZnO films, LC cells are fabricated and the conditions such as exposure energy and time for uniform alignment are found. The NLC molecules align parallel to the ion-beam exposure direction. The electro-optic and response characteristics show the possibility of application of this method in liquid crystal display.

Background: Shoulder stabilization commonly involves two components: the glenohumeral stabilization exercise (GSE) and scapular stabilization exercise (SSE). Despite the fact that the shoulder stabilization has advantageous merit, to our knowledge, only a few studies have compared the superior of the GSE and the SSE. Objects: The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of GSE in patients with nonspecific shoulder pain. Methods: Thirty subjects with nonspecific shoulder pain were randomly divided into an experimental group and control group, each with 15 patients. The experimental group used an GSE, whereas the control group did SSE. All subjects were measured in shoulder stability, scapular symmetric alignment, pain, muscle power, and range of motion before and after the intervention. Results: GSE resulted in significantly better shoulder stability (p=.046, from $8.67{\pm}7.54$ score to $13.93{\pm}9.40$) in the experimental group compared with SSE in the control group. However, no significant effects were observed for scapular symmetric alignment including the angles of inferior scapular distance (p=.829) and inferior scapular height difference (p=.735), pain (p=.113), muscle power including shoulder flexion (p=.723) and abduction (p=.897) and range of motion including shoulder flexion (p=.853) and abduction (p=.472). Conclusion: These findings suggest that GSE may be more effective in increasing the shoulder stability than the SSE in patients with nonspecific shoulder pain, probably through a centralization effect on the shoulder mechanism.

This paper introduces the characteristics of SnO2 inorganic film deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering as an alternative alignment layer for liquid crystal display (LCD) applications. The pretilt angle of the SnO2 layer was shown to be a function of the ion beam(IB) incident angle, a planer alignment of nematic liquid crystal was achieved. The about $1.8^{\circ}$ of stable pretilt angle was achieved at the range from 1500 ~ 2500eV of incident energy. To characterize the film shows atomic force microscopy (AFM) on the IB irradiated SnO2 surfaceand the X-ray phtoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the liquid crystal(LC) alignment on the IB irradiated $SnO_2$ surface was due to the reformation of Sn-O bonds. Also, Figure 1 shows that The alignment capability of the IB irradiated SnO2 layers is maintained until annealing temperature of $200^{\circ}C$. Comparable electro-optical characteristics to rubbed polyimide were also achieved.
