BACKGROUND: Glucosamine hydrochloride (GlcN HCl) has been shown to inhibit cell growth and matrix synthesis, but not with N-acetyl-glucosamine (GlcNAc) supplementation. This effect might be related to an inhibition of critical growth factors (GF), or to a different metabolization of the two glucosamine derivatives. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the synergy between GlcN HCl, GlcNAc, and GF on proliferation and cartilage matrix synthesis. METHOD: Bovine chondrocytes were cultivated in monolayers for 48 h and in three-dimensional (3D) chitosan scaffolds for 30 days in perfusion bioreactors. Serum-free (SF) medium was supplemented with either growth factors (GF) $TGF-{\beta}$ ($5ng\;mL^{-1}$) and IGF-I ($10ng\;mL^{-1}$), GlcN HCl or GlcNAc at 1mM each or both. Six groups were compared according to medium supplementation: (a) SF control; (b) SF + GlcN HCl; (c) SF + GlcNAc; (d) SF + GF; (e) SF + GF + GlcN HCl; and (f) SF + GF + GlcNAc. Cell proliferation, proteoglycan, collagen I (COL1), and collagen II (COL2) synthesis were evaluated. RESULTS: The two glucosamines showed opposite effects in monolayer culture: GlcN HCl significantly reduced proliferation and GlcNAc significantly augmented cellular metabolism. In the 30 days 3D culture, the GlcN HCl added to GF stimulated cell proliferation more than when compared to GF only, but the proteoglycan synthesis was smaller than GF. However, GlcNAc added to GF improved the cell proliferation and proteoglycan synthesis more than when compared to GF and GF/GlcN HCl. The synthesis of COL1 and COL2 was observed in all groups containing GF. CONCLUSION: GlcN HCl and GlcNAc increased cell growth and stimulated COL2 synthesis in long-time 3D culture. However, only GlcNAc added to GF improved proteoglycan synthesis.

$SF_6$ has been widely used in high voltage power equipment, such as gas insulated switchgear (GIS) and gas insulated transmission line (GIL), because of its excellent insulation and arc extinguishing performance. However, $SF_6$ faces two environmental problems: greenhouse effect and high liquefaction temperature. Therefore, to find the $SF_6$ substitute gases has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this paper, the liquefaction characteristics of $SF_6$ substitute gases were studied. Peng-Robinson equation of state with the van der Waals mixing rule (PR-vdW model) was used to calculate the dew point temperature of the binary gas mixtures, with $SF_6$, $C_3F_8$, $c-C_4F_8$, $CF_3I$ or $C_4F_7N$ as the insulating gas and $N_2$ or $CO_2$ as the buffer gas. The sequence of the dew point temperatures of the binary gas mixtures under the same pressure and composition ratio was obtained. $SF_6/N_2$ < $SF_6/CO_2$ < $C_3F_8/N_2$ < $C_3F_8/CO_2$ < $CF_3I/N_2$ < $CF_3I/CO_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/N_2$ < $C_4F_7N/N_2$ < $c-C_4F_8/CO_2$ < $C_4F_7N/CO_2$. $SF_6/N_2$ gas mixture showed the best temperature adaptability and $C_4F_7N/CO_2$ gas mixture showed the worst temperature adaptability. Furthermore, the dew point temperatures of the $SF_6$ substitute gases at different pressures and the upper limits of the insulating gas mole fraction at $-30^{\circ}C$, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-10^{\circ}C$ were obtained. The results would supply sufficient data support for GIS/GIL operators and researchers.

In case that W/B is 20%, 30%, 40% respectively, the effects of additive and shrinkage reducing agent on the autogenous shrinkage for high strengthen concrete through the substitution of FA and SF analysis were obtained as following conclusions. When the ratio of FA increased, the compressive strength of high strengthen concrete is decreased in the early times. As the ratio of SF increase, the compressive strength also increased. Comparing with PC(Portland Cement) for 7 days curing, the strength is 13.8% of FA10 + SR0.5 and 19.2% of FA15 + SR0.5 decreased when W/B is 20%, and 6.1% of SF7.5 + SR0.5, 4.8% of SF15 + SR0.5, the strength are increased. In case that W/B is 30%, 13.1% of FA10 + SR0.5 19.1% of FA15 + SR0.5 the strength is decreased and 4.1% of SF 7.5 + SR0.5, 7.2% of SF15 + SR0.5 the strength are increased. In case of W/B 40%, 4.3% of FA10 + SR0.5, and 8.7% of FA15 + SR0.5, the strength is decreased and 3.3% of SF7.5 + SR0.5, 6.3% SF15 + SR0.5 the strength is increased. When the ratio of SR is 0.5%, autogenous shrinkage strain of OPC concrete appeared $-417{\times}10-6$ in 56days curing, the shrinkage strain is decreased 23.7%. The reducing effects of autogenous shrinkage when the mineral and shrinkage agent are used are the same as ones when only shrinkage agent used.

3차원 형상과 모션을 추정하기 위한 통계학적 최적화 알고리즘들이 다양하게 개발되고 있다. 그렇지만 통계적 접근은 카메라의 기하학적 위치나 관측시야각 등의 설정에 따른 SfM(Shape form Motion)의 민감한 영향을 분석하는데는 한계가 있다. 본 논문은 SfM의 모호성을 예측하기 위해 카메라 촬영 구성 요소를 이용하여 관측행렬의 불확실성을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 SfM 알고리즘의 최종적인 복원 성능을 예측하는데도 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 또한 합리적인 복원 결과를 기대할 수 있도록 카메라 촬영 구성을 설정하기 위한 직접적인 가이드라인을 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 중요하다. 실험결과는 이러한 카메라 촬영 구성을 이용하여 관측행렬의 불확실성에 대한 정량적 추정을 실험적으로 검증하고 본 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인한다.

Objectives: The present study aimed at investigating the effects of Schisandrae Fructus (SF) on menopause symptoms in ovariectomized mice. Methods: 6 weeks old female mice were ovariectomized (OVX), and the OVX mice were fed with a three doses of SF (25, 100, and 400 mg/kg, respectively) or $17{\beta}$-estradiol (E2, 0.5 mg/kg) 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Body weight was measured at every week and uterus weight was also measured at the end of experiment. Lipids and osteocalcin levels in serum were analyzed. Results: The uterine weight was not changed in SF treated group, while E2 intake increased the reduced uterine weight by OVX. Although Body weight was increased since two weeks after ovariectomy compared with sham operated group, there was no change in SF or E2 treated group compared with OVX. But LDL was significantly reduced in SF (400 mg/kg) or E2 fed mice and SF or E2 treatment decreased enhanced osteocalcin level by OVX. Conclusion: These results indicated that SF would be effective in the improvement of LDL level and osteoporosis on menopause.

스페이서 표면 파티클에 의한 오염의 영향은 SF6GIS의 절연내력을 현저히 감소시킨다. 이와 관련해서 우리는 평행평판전극 구성으로 SF6가스중에서 금속 및 비금속 파티클의 위치 및 형태를 변화시키면서 교류전압에서 섬락전압 특성과 파괴 기구에 대해서 연구했다. 주된 결과는 $\circled1$파티클 위치에 대한 섬락전압 감소의 영향은 갭중간에서 가장 적고 전극에서 미소간극 분리된 경우의 영향이 가장 커다. $\circled2$ 섬락전압 감소가 크게 되는 금속 파티클 일수록 FOV 포화 현상은 낮은 압력 영역으로 이동된다. $\circled3$0.6[mm]이하의 비금속 파타클은 섬락전압에 그의 영향을 미치지 않는다.

화학적으로 안정한 과불화합물을 처리하기 위해서는 많은 양의 에너지를 필요로 한다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 저전력 아크 플라즈마 시스템을 개발하였다. 분해대상은 $CF_4$, $SF_6$, $NF_3$가 플라즈마 토치로 직접 주입되었으며, 아크 플라즈마 토치의 열효율을 측정하여 실출력을 계산하였다. 실출력과 폐기체 유량 변화 그리고 추가적인 반응가스에 의한 분해효율을 확인하였다. 또한 열역학적 평형조성 분석을 수행하여 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 토치의 열효율은 60~66%의 결과를 보였으며 폐가스 유량이 증가함에 따라 분해효율이 감소하였고 입력전력이 늘어남에 따라 분해효율이 상승되었다. 추가적인 반응 가스가 없이 $CF_4$, $SF_6$, $NF_3$의 분해효율은 입력전력이 3 kW, 폐가스 유량이 70 L/min인 조건에서 각각 4, 15, 90%를 보였다. 반응가스로 산소와 수소를 이용하여 분해효율을 급격하게 증가시킬 수 있었으며, 실험 결과 산소보다 수소를 사용하였을 경우가 분해효율 상승효과와 부산물 제어에 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다. 수소의 경우, 발생되는 부산물은 불화수소산이었으며 이는 일반적인 습식 스크러버를 이용하여 처리가 용이한 물질이다. 수소를 이용한 화학반응에서 입력전력이 3 kW, 폐가스유량이 100 L/min인 조건에서 $CF_4$가 25%, $SF_6$가 39%, $NF_3$가 99%의 분해효율을 각각 나타냈다.

Dialysis is the rate-limiting step in the preparation of aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution. However, the traditional practice of dialyzing SF solution for at least 48 h to remove LiBr is not based on empirical evidence. The aim of the present study was to systematically measure LiBr content in SF solutions dialyzed for varying lengths of time and assess the potential toxicity of residual lithium ions in cells. Complete removal of lithium ions was not achieved even after 72 h of dialysis, with a residual lithium ion content in the solution of 22.85 mg/l. SF films prepared from solutions dialyzed for 8 and 24 h had predominantly random coil or b-sheet structures, respectively. The residual lithium had little cytotoxicity in NIH3T3 fibroblast cells, but viability was compromised in cells grown on SF film prepared from solution dialyzed for 24 h.
