The effects of various inotropic interventions on the shape of the steady state length tension relation and the length-dependent activation process in cardiac muscle were studied. The influence of inotropic interventions upon the action potential was also observed. The range of varying muscle length was from the optimal length$(l_{max})$, where the active tension production is maximal, to 0.85 $l_{max}$. Changes in stimulus frequency or in external bathing Ca concentration constituted the inotropic interventions in this experiment. The papillary muscles were isolated from the rabbit right ventricles and perfused with $HCO-_3\;-buffered$ normal Tyrode solution which was aerated with $3%\;CO_2-97%\;O_2$ mixed gas and kept at $35^{\circ}C$. Resting Passive tension at $l_{max}$ was approximately 30% of the total tension and appeared from the muscle length of 0.90 $l_{max}$. The effect of stimulus frequency on the steady state level of developed tension was: As the stimulus frequency was increased from 0.1 to 0.5 Hz, there was little change in developed tension. As the frequency was increased further, to a value of about 3 Hz, tension increased steeply. Further increase of the frequency to 5 Hz had little additional effect on the developed tension. The length-tension curves for isometric peak tension became more steeper with the degree of potentiation by inotropic interventions. The relative steepness of the normalized length-tension curves where tension production was expressed as a percentage of maximal tension developed at $l_{max}$, varied inversely with the level of inotropic state and these curves were not superimposable one another. Thus at the stimulus frequency of 2 Hz or at the external Ca concentration of 8 mM, the relative decline in the developed tension for a given change in muscle length was considerably less than the decline observed at the frequency of 0.5 Hz or at the concentration of 2 mM Ca. Action potential duration was prolonged significantly as the frequency increased from 0.2 to 2 Hz, and this change in action potential duration was not observable on the changes in muscle length. There was a tendency of the hyperpolarization of membrane potential when the muscle length was shortened from $l_{max}$ to 0.95 $l_{max}$. These results support the hypothesis that there is a length-dependence of the activation process.

인원자첨가농도가 6.4$\times$$10^{14}$ 부터 1.25$\times$$10^{17}$ ㎤까지인 n 형씰리콘 단결정들을 (1) 1 MeV 전자선과 (2) 두가지 연구용원자로와 (3) $Co^{6o}$ 감마선원으로 조사하고 이에 따르는 비저항의 변화를 측정하였고 이 측정결과를 Buehler가 제의한 실험식을 적용하여 분석했다. 이 지수실험식은 조사량이 적은 범위내에서는 대부분의 경우 잘 적용되나 1 MeV원자선조사에서는 측정결과와 잘 맞지 않으며 경우에 따라서는 선형변화식이 오히려 더 잘 적용된다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 특히 전자선조사 시료에서 조사량이 많을때 carrier 제거율에 큰 변화가 나타나는데 이것을 결함준위와 Fermi level과의 교환효과로 보고 자세히 살펴보았다. 위의 실험식이 적용되는 범위안에서 손상계수를 계산하고 손상계수에 의해서 n형 씰리콘의 비저항 변화에 미치는 여러가지 방사선원의 상대적효과를 비교하였다. 예컨대 TRIGA Mark II 연구로내의 중성자조사는 1 MeV 전자선 조사에 비하여 약 40배나 더 효과적으로 비저항 변화를 일으킨다는 것이 알려졌다. 조사전의 carrier농도와 손상계수와의 관계도 조사하였고 또 지수실험식의 물리적근거와 조사량이 많을때의 결함준위와 Fermi level와의 교차가 비저항변화에 미치는 효과도 아울러 고찰하였다.다.

방사선 근접치료에서 잘못된 선원의 위치는 정상조직에 불필요한 선량을 조사하게 되므로, 정도관리 항목에서 방사선원의 위치를 검증하는 것은 필수적이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 디지털 line 선량계의 기초 연구로써 polycrystalline mercury (II) iodide (HgI₂)기반의 unit cell 선량계를 제작하고 실리콘다이오드와 재현성, 선형성, 거리의존성에 대한 성능을 비교하였다. 그 결과 재현성은 relative standard deviation (RSD)이 1.21%로 RSD 평가 기준 1.5% 이내를 만족하였다. 선형성 평가는 선형계수 R²가 0.9997로 우수한 결과를 보였다. 거리 의존성은 inverse square value와 비교하였을 때, intensity 50%는 0.035 cm의 차이를 보이며 전체적으로 유사한 경향을 보였다. 본 연구는 HgI₂ 선량계의 성능 평가함으로써 근접치료 정도관리를 위한 디지털 선량계의 적용 가능성을 제시하고 있으며, 본 연구에 대한 결과는 광도전체 물질의 선량계로써의 특성분석에 대한 연구로, 방사선 및 검출기에 대한 모든 분야의 기초 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

상온에서 ${\gamma}$-선 조사에 의해 생긴 황산암모늄$((NH_4)_2SO_4)$단결정 내의 방사선 손상은 몇개의 상자성 중심을 형성한다. X-band 전자스핀 공명분석기(EPR spectrometer)로 전자스핀공명 스펙트럼을 얻었고 피크의 세기가 가장 큰 g = 2.0036인 Gauss 형의 등방성 피크는 $SO_3^-$가 피크임을 알았다. 직교하는 세축 a,b,c로 그 단결정을 회전시키면서 ESR 스펙트럼을 얻어 각도 의존성을 보았다. $g^-$값은 등방성 피크와 무등방성 피크의 상대적 위치로 부터 구하였고 각 상자성종들의 $g^-$값의 3${\times}$3 matrix 원소들을 대각화하여 특성 주 $g^-$값과 방향여현을 얻었다. 이 특성 주 $g^-$값과 방향여현으로 분석한 결과 황산암모늄 단결정내에는 무등방성 피크에 해당하는 $SO_4^-,\;SO_2^-$ 및 전자 과잉중심들의 상자성 결함이 존재함을 확인 하였다.

We present a comparative experimental analysis of the thermal spectroscopic characteristics of a phosphosilicate (P)-based ytterbium-doped fiber (YDF) against an aluminosilicate (Al)-based YDF in the temperature range of 25 to $150^{\circ}C$. We also characterize the fibers as gain media in a cladding-pumped amplifier configuration. While both fibers exhibit comparable trends in their thermal characteristics, there are noticeable distinctions in the fluorescence lifetime reduction rate and the spectral dependence of the transition cross-sections. The P- and Al-based YDFs present thermal lifetime reduction rates of $0.012%/^{\circ}C$ and $0.026%/^{\circ}C$, respectively. In particular, in the spectral region at ~940 nm, the absorption cross-section of the P-based YDF undergoes significantly less thermal change compared to that of the Al-YDF. In the cladding-pumped amplifier configuration operating at a total gain of 10 dB, the Al-based YDF generally performs betters than the P-based YDF in the temperature range of 25 to $75^{\circ}C$. However, it is highlighted that in the high temperature range of over $75^{\circ}C$, the latter shows a less gain reduction rate than the former, thereby yielding higher relative output power by 3.3% for a 1060-nm signal, for example.

We investigated the inducing effects of Rubus coreanus extract (RCE) on apoptosis and its related gene expressions in human breast cancer cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in the presence of 0, 200, 300, and $400{\mu}g/mL$ RCE for 24h. MTT assay demonstrated that relative cell viability measured a decrease in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). This dependency was also found in the increasing levels of cell death by a dual staining with Hoechst 33322 and propidium iodide (p<0.05). These close associations was also observed by different stages of apoptotic processes, as shown by an Apoptosis Detection Kit. To determine whether the alterations in such cell activities obtained above cause the induction of apoptotic genes, PT-PCR was performed expressions of both Bcl-2 and Bax mRNAs. The Bcl-2/Bax ratio which is an important indicator of apoptosis, was found to have significantly decreased dose dependence (p<0.05). Western blot analysis also demonstrated that Caspase-3 significantly increases in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05) in addition to similar alterations of other proteins examined. Taken these results together, the ethanolic RCE used induces a reduction in cell viability along with increased membrane permeability. This leads to a precautious apoptotic process and, subsequently, cell death through the apoptotic pathway involving Bax and Caspase-3 in human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells.

The probe diffusion and friction constants of methyl yellow (MY) in liquid n-alkanes of increasing chain length were calculated by equilibrium molecular dynamics (MD) simulations at temperatures of 318, 418, 518 and 618 K. Lennard-Jones particles with masses of 225 and 114 g/mol are modeled for MY. We observed that the diffusion constant of the probe molecule follows a power law dependence on the molecular weight of nalkanes, DMY${\sim}M^{-\gamma}$ well. As the molecular weight of n-alkanes increases, the exponent $\gamma$ shows sharp transitions near n-dotriacontane ($C_{32}$) for the large probe molecule (MY2) at low temperatures of 318 and 418 K. For the small probe molecule (MY1) $D_{MY1}$ in $C_{12}$ to C80 at all the temperatures are always larger than Dself of n-alkanes and longer chain n-alkanes offer a reduced friction relative to the shorter chain n-alkanes, but this reduction in the microscopic friction for MY1 is not large enough to cause a transition in the power law exponent in the log-log plot of DMY1 vs M of n-alkane. For the large probe molecule (MY2) at high temperatures, the situation is very similar to that for MY1. At low temperatures and at low molecular weights of n-alkanes, $D_{MY2}$ are smaller than $D_{self}$ of n-alkanes due to the relatively large molecular size of MY2, and MY2 experiences the full shear viscosity of the medium. As the molecular weight of n-alkane increases, $D_{self}$ of n-alkanes decreases much faster than $D_{MY2}$ and at the higher molecular weights of n-alkane, MY2 diffuses faster than the solvent fluctuations. Therefore there is a large reduction of friction in longer chains compared to the shorter chains, which enhances the diffusion of MY2. The calculated friction constants of MY1 and MY2 in liquid n-alkanes supported these observations. We deem that this is the origin of the so-called“solventoligomer”transition.

We are sure that Abakanowicz positively assumes a position of members, which are represented the later modern fabric design. In sprite of his pervasive evaluation, we have doubt about his achievement because the preceding research is insufficient about argumentsuch as dependence on intuitive emotion study, conventional analysis of structure and insufficient inquiry of causa efficiens. We agree that basic structure of is dissipation. Though right and left symmetrical structure is similar, also that structure is different. We can't decide whether structure is unification structure, difference structure or mixture structure . We think that the time of confusing argument of his structure is changing period for disorganization trend. The result of this study confirm the research possibility about space organization with restructure analysis and verification for examining essence structure of sample text . The Thesis are concern that the different between paradigmatic appearances and syntagmatic, which exist . So, we can approach the meaning of system and find dominent point about constructional relationship on the works. The meaning of dominent point is understood about sexless trend or Androgyne, which are appeared Abakanowicz forth work period. The relationship structure which is mixed both issue show that inner issue of work is located the highest position. The paper presents confusing manufacture system, which are suggested man-woman sex and mixed meaning. The other result of this study are, 1. being known as Abakan algorism, Abakanowicz has new drafting idiom from his ancient belief. 2. we need to research the body texture of Abakanowicz with the trend of restructure of body study. 3. we need argue about gender study in relative with poster moderntheology related problem of sexlessness people and perfect sex-people.

This study is intended to comparison of the recent ideal number of children and atrial approach for analyzing value system for children that form attitude affecting birth control with earlier study conducted 10 years ago. In general the traditional fertility pattern of Korea may be considered as 'early marriage and high fertility' backed by the confucian value system of a farming-oriented country. A selective attitude favoring sons contributes substantially to fertility. But Korea is now moving toward a late marriage and fertility pattern. This has been due to the repid introduction of western culture and a partial acceptance of western value systems, a relative weakening of traditional value systems, a gradual increase in infant and child servival rates thresh medicines, and a desire to avoid having too many children because of economic poverty. This study showed following results: Ideal number of sons and daughters in urban area was decreased by 0.2 respectively compared to earlier study. In rural area, the number of decrease of sons and daughters was 0.5 and 0.2 respectively. The conception concerning Happiness has changed to wealth from health in previous opinion. Regarding attitude toward having sons, 98 percent of them wanted to have sons positively, moreover 10 percent of them wanted two or more sons. Regarding reasons for the wanting sons, we see that economic and traditional considerations, such as dependance in old age, and inheritance of the family line, are a principle concern of about 56 percent in both areas. The rate of dependence in old age was decreased conspicuously compare to previous study while the rate of helding rituals was increased remarkably in rural area. Among reasons for limiting family size. 'for better living and for better education for their children were main rasons reted 46 percent in urban, 51 percent in rural areas. The rates were not changed compare to previous study. Regarding attitude of those who have no son or children, the rate of re-marriage with second wife was decreased remarkably in rural area and the rate of living without special behaivor for having son was increased compare to previous study.

We present the AKARI far-infrared (FIR) all-sky maps and describe its characteristics, calibration accuracy and scientific capabilities. The AKARI FIR survey has covered 97% of the whole sky in four photometric bands, which cover continuously 50-180 micron with band central wavelengths of 65, 90, 140, and 160 microns. The data have been publicly released in 2014 (Doi et al., 2015) with improved data quality that have been achieved since the last internal data release (Doi et al., 2012). The accuracy of the absolute intensity is ${\leq}10%$ for the brighter regions. Quantitative analysis of the relative intensity accuracy and its dependence upon spatial scan numbers has been carried out. The data for the first time reveal the whole sky distribution of interstellar matter with arcminute-scale spatial resolutions at the peak of dust continuum emission, enabling us to investigate large-scale distribution of interstellar medium in great detail. The filamentary structure covering the whole sky is well traced by the all-sky maps. We describe advantages of the AKARI FIR all-sky maps for the study of interstellar matter comparing to other observational data.
