Mechanisms and conditions for rounding of AUC particles were examined during AUC precipitation. Rounding of AUC particle was possible only by external circulation using pump, not by internal circulation using agitator. The rate of AUC rounding $(dn_p/dt)$ was proporational to operation conditions such as magma density $(M_t:g-U/{\iota}l)$, turn over ratio $(T_o)$ and impeller tip velocity of pump (U); $ dn_p/dt{\propto}M_t{\cdot}T_o{\cdot}U^2$. The validity of this relationship was qualitatively confirmed by comparing the expermental results. Two rounding mechanisms were suggested. One is crack formation mechanism and the other etch-pit formation mechanism on the surface of AUC particle. It was found that the crack formation is more dominant at the initial stage and the etch-pit formation at the final stage of the AUC precipitation.

The antiviral mechanism of KT5720 is known to inhibit the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), on the VSV infection in BHK-21 cell cultures. The virus inducted CPE (cell rounding) was almost completely suppressed by KT5720 at 5 uM. The inhibitor, however, did not affect the replication of the virus and the synthesis of viral macromolecules. Immunological studies showed the viral matrix (M) protein displayed intimate association with the cytoskeletal components and probably the cell rounding. KT5720, did not block the cytoskeletal disruption, while the cell rounding was suppressed. These observations suggest that the interaction between the viral M protein and the cytoskeletal components may not be enough to cause the morphological change of the cell. And, the KT5720-sensitive function may be involved in developing the VSV-induced CPE, but not essential for the virus replications.

A computer simulation model for investigating a two-dimensional (2-D) rounding mechanism in a centerless grinding process is described. This model includes the interference phenomena and the concept of machining elasticity. Since initial contact points are used as a reference, the result of this simulation is not affected by the location of the reference circle center and the radius of the reference circle. Also, details of the machining factor are studied by using process variables (grinding wheel speed, wheel specification, workpiece speed, dressing condition, etc.). The effect of the threshold grinding force on the size of ground workpiece is investigated. For the verification of this method, simulation results are compared with the experimental work.

In the present study, the flow field in a square container with various comer rounding is studied to investigate drain flow characteristics. An attempt has been made to understand the mechanism that is responsible for vortex suppressing by the different radius of rounding at the comer. For this purpose, flow visualization studies using PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry) are employed to determine the flow patterns in a square tank. Results are obtained when there is no draining and with draining. The flow field is visualized both in horizontal and vertical planes.

In the present study, the flow field in a square container with various corner rounding is studied to investigate drain flow characteristics. An attempt has been made to understand the mechanism that is responsible for vortex suppressing by the different radius of rounding at the corner.

Studies of preparation condition and characteristics of AUC(ammonium uranyl carbonate) were carried out to optimize AUC process with different reactor sizes and precipitation methos. As results four types of precipitates with different chemical compositions and morphologies were obtained from the reaction of {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{2 } {CO }_{3 } }} with {{{{ {UO }_{2 }( {NO }_{3 }) { }_{2 } }} solution. A phase diagram has been made and crystal structure and chemical composition of each phase have been characterized by using SEM X-ray IR and thermal analysis. It was found that ammonium uranyl carbonate {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{4 } {UO }_{2 } {(CO }_{3 }) { }_{3 } }} with monoclinic crystal morphology could be syn-thesized when the mole ratio of in {{{{ {(NH }_{4 }) { }_{2 } {CO }_{3 }/ {UO }_{2 } {(NO }_{3 }) { }_{2 } }} in the solution was higher than 5 Also a mechanism and a precipitating condition on rounding of the AUC particle were examined in the course of the AUC pre-cipitation. The rounding of the AUC particle was possible only by external circulation using pump not by internal circulation using agitator.

This study surveys the fiber behavior in yarn formation and the physical properties of Solo-spun yarn. The specimens were made by six types of Solo-spun rollers with fixed twist multiplier. The physical properties such as yarn count, evenness, strength, and breaking elongation of these yarns were compared with the properties of ring spun yarns and analysed with the mechanism of Solo-spun yarn formation. The grooves on the surface of Solo-spun roller divide the web and interfere the twist propagation. These phenomena cause the uneven draft and the fly of fiber, so the Solo-spun yarn becomes finer than fing-spun yarn and the yarn breaking strength and elongation deteriorate, but these demerits can be improved with rounding the protruded edge of Solo-spun roller grooves.

Rocking behavior of shallow foundation reduces the superstructure load during earthquake. However, because of deficiency of understanding of rocking mechanism and soil permanent deformation, it has not been applied to real construction. In this study, slow cyclic tests were conducted for embedded shallow foundations with various slenderness ratio via centrifuge tests. From the variation of earth pressure 'soil rounding surface' phenomenon which makes maximum overturning moment equal to ultimate moment capacity was observed. Rocking and sliding behavior mechanism was evaluated. Also, nonlinear behavior and energy dissipation increase as rotation angle increases. And ultimate moment capacity of embedded foundation is larger than that of surface foundation. Finally, adequate ultimate moment capacity can be suggested for seismic design through this study.

The effect of mycolactone, a recently reported apoptosis-inducing factor, was investigated in SCC15 oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) cell line. Mycolactone rapidly induced cell death in OSCC cells in 2days, which was similar to that found in apoptotic cell such as detaching from culture plate and rounding-up of cells. Apoptotic cells were increased 4hrs after mycolactone treatment and more than half of cells showed apoptosis after 72hrs. Caspase 3 activation a biochemical evidence of apoptosis, was determined by Western blotting. Caspase 3 activation was started at 2hrs that lasted until 8hrs after mycolactone treatment. The expression of bcl-2 family genes was determined to explain the mechanism of apoptosis found in OSCC cells. The expressions of bad, bak, and bax (pro-apoptotic genes) and bcl-w and bcl-2 genes (anti-apoptotic genes) were not changed by mycolactone treatment. The expression of bcl-xi was decreased 8 hrs after mycolactone treatment. Mcl-1 expression was initially increased at 2 hrs which was decreased 8 hrs after mycolactone treatment. The down-regulation of these two anti-apoptotic genes might explain the mycolactone-induced apoptosis in OSCC cells. In this study, mycholactone was revealed to induce cell death in OSCC cells apoptosis and the apoptosis mechanism of OSCC cells was shown to be down-regulation of anti-apoptotic genes, bcl-xi and mcl-1. These results suggested the applicability of mycolactone for the development of an anti-cancer drug candidate by inducing apoptosis of OSCC cancer cell.
