We present the results from an extensive spectroscopic survey of the central region of the nearby galaxy cluster Abell 2199 (A2199) at z=0.03. By combining 775 new redshifts from the MMT/Hectospec observations with the data in the literature, we construct a large sample of 1624 galaxies with measured redshifts at R<30', which redsults in high spectroscopic completeness at $r_{petro,0}$<20.5 (77%). We use these data to study the kinematics and clustering of galaxies, focusing on the comparison with those of the intracluster medium (ICM) from Suzaku X-ray observations. We identify 406 member galaxies of A2199 at R<30' using the caustic technique. The velocity dispersion profile of cluster members appears smoothly connected to the stellar velocity dispersion profile of the cD galaxy. The luminosity function is well fitted with a Schechter function at $M_r$<-15. The radial velocities of cluster galaxies generally agree well with those of the ICM, but there are some regions where the velocity difference between the two is about a few hundred kilometers per second. The cluster galaxies show a hint of global rotation at R<5' with $v_{rot}=300-600kms^{-1}$, but the ICM in the same region does not show such rotation. We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the cluster galaxy sample at R<60' and identify 32 group candidates, and examine the spatial correlation between the galaxy groups and X-ray emission. This extensive survey in the central region of A2199 provides an important basis for future studies of interplay among the galaxies, the ICM, and the dark matter in the cluster.

This paper aims at estimating the fracture behavior at the bonded part of composite material. CFRP is manufactured as the type of TDCB. The static analysis of Mode 1 due to the configuartion factor of m is carried out. Four kinds of specimens have the configuartion factor(m) of 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5. As the study result, the displacements at specimens are shown to be similar each other in these four cases. At m of 3.5, the reaction force becomes highest as 412 N and is shown to be improved as much as 14% by comparing m of 2. The data on defection of the bonded interface and reaction force are thought to be contributed to the structural design of CFRP and the safe design.

In this paper, the structural design for composite blade was performed and full scale structural test was conducted to verify the structural design and integrity of composite blade. Firstly, FE analysis was performed using commercial software ABAQUS under conditions of rated wind speed and Case H in IEC 61400-2. Lay-up sequence and ply thickness were designed based on FE results. And to verify the structural design, full scale structural test was conducted according to IEC 61400-2 under identical loading conditions of FE analysis. Finally, the force-deflection and local strain behavior of composite blade were evaluated.

After successful clinical application, arginine deiminase (ADI) has been proposed to be a new cancer therapeutic. In the present study, we examined the effect of ADI in combination with ionizing radiation (IR) on MCF-7 cell growth and clonogenic cell death. Cell growth was inhibited by IR in a dose-dependent manner and ADI enhanced the radiosensitivity. ADI itself did not suppress the growth of MCF-7 cells due to the high level of expression of argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS), which convert citrulline, a product of arginine degradation by ADI, to arginine. Previously, it was suggested that ammonia, another product of arginine degradation by ADI, is the main cause of the growth inhibition of irradiated hepatoma cells contaminated with ADI-expressing mycoplasma [van Rijn et al. (2003)]. However, we found that ammonia is not the only factor that enhances radiosensitivity, as enhancement was also observed in the absence of ammonia. In order to identify the enhancing effect, levels of ASS and proteins related to the cell cycle were examined. ASS was unchanged by ADI plus IR, but p21 (a CDK inhibitor) was upregulated and c-Myc downregulated. These findings indicate that changes in the expressions of cell cycle proteins are involved in the enhancement of radiosensitivity by ADI. We suggest that ADI is a potential adjunct to cancer therapy.

We have developed software for converting the volumetric voxel data obtained from X-ray computed tomography(CT) into computer-aided design(CAD) data. The developed software can used for non-destructive testing and evaluation, reverse engineering, and rapid prototyping, etc. The main algorithms employed in the software are image reconstruction, volume rendering, segmentation, and mesh data generation. The feasibility of the developed software is demonstrated with the CT data of human maxilla and mandible bones.

In order to secure the compatibility of eBook viewers based on EPUB 3.0, IDPF launched an open project of Readium in February 2012, which supports the standard platform for eBook viewers and the related SDK that can be implemented on different OSs. The current EPUB standard, however, does not provide DRM standards to protect eBook copyrights. Therefore, the compatibility of Readium SDK cannot be secured. Even though the Readium project has tried to design a standard reference software in order to apply DRM independently of EPUB standards, it still does not definitely solve compatibility problems of plural DRMs. This paper suggests a compatibility model based on Readium SDK and ContentMudule technology, in which eBook viewers can work together with plural DRM technology.

In this paper, we propose a three-dimensional(3D) active shape models for medical image segmentation. In order to build a 3D shape model, we need to generate a point distribution model(PDM) and select corresponding landmarks in all the training shapes. The manual determination method, two-dimensional(2D) method, and limited 3D method of landmark correspondences are time-consuming, tedious, and error-prone. In this paper, we generate a 3D statistical shape model using the 3D model generation method of a distance transform and a tetrahedron method for landmarking. After generating the 3D model, we extend the shape model training and gray-level model training of 2D active shape models(ASMs) and we use the integrated modeling process with scale and gray-level models for the appearance profile to represent the local structure. Experimental results are comparable to those of region-based, contour-based methods, and 2D ASMs.

The error motion of a machine tool spindle directly affects the surface errors of machined parts. The error motions of the spindle are not desired errors in the three linear direction motions and two rotating motions. Those are usually due to the imperfect of bearings, stiffness of spindle, assembly errors, external force or unbalance of rotors. The error motions of the spindle have been needed to be decreased to desired goal of spindle's performance. The level of error motion is needed to be estimated during the design and assembly process of the spindle. In this paper, the estimation method for the five degree of freedom (5 D.O.F) error motions of the spindle is suggested. To estimate the error motions of the spindle, waviness of shaft and bearings, external force model was used as input data. And, the estimation models are considering geometric relationship and force equilibrium of the five degree of the freedom. To calculate error motions of the spindle, not only imperfection of the shaft, bearings, such as rolling element bearing, hydrostatic bearing, and aerostatic bearing, but also driving elements such as worm, pulley, and direct driving motor systems, were considered.

Japanese pepper (Zanthoxylum piperitum Dc.) tree of selected genotype was propagated by a two-step method. Among the media tested, BTM promoted shoot height growth and DKW revealed as superior to micro-canopy increment Multiple shoot formation was greatest when the single shoot were subcultured on medium containing 0.89 $\mu$M BA alone. The numbers of survival shoots could be markedly increased by acclimatization of the multiplied shoots itself in plastic Petridish (punctured with pin on the top) for two weeks and subsequently transplanting each shoot onto peat plug system. After transplanting the micropropagules onto pots, prickliness characteristics seem to be transmitted to all plane produced from selected genotype.

This case study describes the imaging features of radiography and computed tomography (CT) in four small breed dogs with lung lobe torsion. The medical records, thoracic radiographs and CT images of four dogs with confirmed lung lobe torsion were retrospectively reviewed. Pleural effusion and increased lobar opacity/density were seen on all CT and thoracic radiography in all four dogs. CT revealed narrowed/collapsed bronchus in all four dogs, while this was only appreciated on one thoracic radiography. The vesicular emphysema pattern was seen on four CT but only on three radiographic examinations. The specific findings of lung lobe torsion were vesicular emphysema and a narrowed/collapsed bronchus. These findings were more easily recognized on CT than with thoracic radiographs.
