Fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) composites have drawn increasing attentions worldwide for decades due to its outstanding properties. Stress concentration factor (SCF) as an essential parameter in materials science are critically considered in structure design and application, strength assessment and failure prediction. However, investigation of stress concentration in FRP composites has been rarely reported so far. In this study, three resource-conserving analyses (Isotropic analysis, Orthotropic analysis and Finite element analysis) were introduced to plot the $K_T^A-d/W$ curve for E-glass/epoxy composite plate with the geometrical defect of circular hole placed centrally. The plates were loaded to uniaxial direction for simplification. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out via ACP (ANSYS composite prepost module). Based on the least squares method, a simple expression of fitting equation could be given based on the simulated results of a set of discrete points. Finally, all three achievable solutions were presented graphically for explicit comparison. In addition, the investigation into customized efficient SCFs has also been carried out for further reference.

The palmitoyl acyl carrier protein (ACP) specific thioesterase (EC 3.1.2.14) from Iris pseudoacorus was purified and characterized. The thioesterase which was very unstable in relatively high salt concentrations was eluted using a co-gradient of Triton X-100 and low concentration of KCl or Na-phosphate from Q-Sepharose, DEAE-Sepharose, and hydroxyapatite chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis showed a single band with a molecular weight of 35,000. The native molecular weight of approximately 37,000 was estimated by Sephacryl S-200 chromatography, indicating that the enzyme is a monomer. The thioesterase activity was inhibited about 75% and 50% by N-ethylmaleimide (2 mM) and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (2 mM). respectively. The N-ethylmaleimide-inactivation was protected by sodium palmitate but the inactivation with phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride was not protected. Oxidation of thiols by 2 mM 5.5'-dithio-bis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid) resulted in 65% inactivation of the enzyme. These results suggest that a cysteinyl residue is essential to the catalytic reaction of the enzyme. The enzyme activity was increased by sodium citrate and also by $Cu^{2+}$

In order to testify the urate lowering effects of Daihwangmudan-tang(DMT), ICR mice were injected monosodium urate into the abdominal cavity and then DMT was administered on 2 and 4 days after Injection. Uric acid and triglyceride were measured as hematological indices of gout, and some genes related with this change were identified by ACP based GeneFishing PCR method and direct sequencing. From this experiment, DMT highly decreased the blood levels of uric acid and significantly suppressed and lowered the acute increment of triglyceride level. There were 11 differentially expressed genes(DEG) having relations with positive actions of DMT, and 4 major genes in the middle of DEGs were sequenced; Mfap 2, jagged 2, Hsd17b7, DkkI-1, These genes were supposed that several mechanisms through interleukin 1 and T-cell anergy, LDL cholesterol metabolism, wnt pathway would be related with the anti-inflammation effect against gout.

ACP(Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process)의 금속전환로에 $U_3O_8$을 공급하기 위하여 20 kgHM/batch의 $UO_2$ 펠릿(pellets)을 처리할 수 있는 건식분말화 장치가 개발되고있다. 건식분말화 장치는 500 $^{\circ}C$온도에서 공기를 공급하여 일정한 입도범위의 균질한 $U_3O_8$을 만든다. 이런 건식 분말화 장치의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 반웅로에 불어 넣어주는 공기의 유량을 증가시킬 필요가 있다. 하지만 공기와 반응하여 생성되는 $U_3O_8$ 입자는 그 크기가 최소 3 ${\mu}$m 정도로 매우 미세하여，반응로 출구를 통해 외부로 빠져나갈 가능성 이있다. 이를 방지하기 위해 분말화 장치 출구 바깥에는 필터가 설치되어 있으나 공기와 함께 $U_3O_8$ 입자가 계속해서 빠져 나갈 경우 입자로 인해 필터가 막혀 제 기능을 할 수 없게 된다. 따라서 건식 분말화 장치는 미세한 $U_3O_8$ 입자가 반응로 밖으로 빠져나가지 않도록 입구에서의 공기 유량을 일정 수준 이하로 조절해주는 것이 필요하다. 이 연구의 목적은 초기 유량으로부터 유량을 점점 증가시키면서 시간변화에 따른 입자 거동 특성을 해석하며， 결과로부터 주어진 크기의 타원입자에 대해 최대 허용 공기 유량을 결정하고자한다. 이 해석을 위해 유동과 입자를 동시에 해석할 수 있는 ANSYS-CFX 5.7.1과 ANSYS-CFX 10.0 두 가지의 소프트웨어가 사용되었다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 좀더 정확한 유량 한계치 계산을 위해 추가로 수행되어야 할 해석에 대해 제안하였다.

Objective : Though modern medicine has made various studies in cancer treatment, the results of the treatments are not satisfactory. Considering this, Oriental medicine can be a breakthrough in treatment of cancer, and therefore, its constant research eagerly needed. According to preceding studies, Hangamjedoktang (Kangaizhidu-tang) with Hagocho appeared to be statistically significant against cancer, and therefore to seek a better medication for cancer, Holotrichia which seemed to be effective against cancer was added to the formula, and herbs which showed an anti-tumor effect in preceding studies composed Hangamyagjaebang. The efficacy of both Hangamjedoktang with Holotrichia (HJJ) and Hangamyagjaebang (Kangaiyaocaijang) (HM) was compared. Methods : To examine the anti-cancer effect of HJJ and HM, inhibitory effect on solid tumor growth in mice induced by Sarcoma-180 (s-180), change of body and organ weight in tumor bearing mice and the activity of machrophages and lymphocytes in the spleen were examined. Results : 1. In the HJJ and HM treated groups, tumor growth was markedly decreased. 2. HJJ and HM increased the activity of ALP which is produced from the splenocytes transplanted with S-180. 3. HJJ and HM increased the ACP activity of the macrophages of the mice transplanted with S-180. Conclusion : These results suggest that HJJ and HM are good candidates for new drugs for cancer therapy.

EU는 세계 3위의 어업생산지역임에도 불구하고 가공어류와 양식수산물에 대한 세계 최대의 소비시장을 가진 탓에 만성적인 수산물 공급부족을 겪고 있다. 이에 따라 EU는 일찍부터 제3국과의 어업협정을 통한 원양어장 진출을 적극적으로 추진해 왔다. EU의 원양어장 진출정책을 시기별로 분류하면 1세대 유형에서부터 4세대 유형으로 구분가능하다. 수역별로는 크게 유럽북부와 남부수역으로 분리되어 있으나, 어업협정 유형으로는 북유럽형, 발틱형, 북미형, 중남미형, 그리고 ACP형으로 세분화 할 수 있다. EU는 특히 대부분의 쌍무어업협정을 아프리카, 인도양, 서태평양 연안국들과 맺고 있어, 이들 국가와의 쌍무적 어업관계가 EU 원양어업정책에 있어 매우 중요하다. 최근 원양어장의 자원부족현상이 점차 심각해짐에 따라 EU 위원회는 그들의 공동어업정책 개혁안에 제3국과의 어업협력강화 방안을 수립하였다. 이는 연안국과의 어업관계를 단순입어에서 동반자적 입어관계로 발전시키는 한편, 어업 외적인 부문의 협력을 포함하는 포괄적 접근 정책을 추진하고 있다. 이러한 EU의 움직임은 단순한 어획쿼터할당에 대한 입어료지급 방식은 조업국과 연안국 간의 신뢰관계 증진에 그다지 도움이 되지 못한다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 조업국은 연안국에 대한 자원관리기술을 지원해 주고, 자원평가에도 공동으로 참여함으로써 양국간 협력적 수산자원관리정책을 지향하도록 하여야 한다는 것을 시사하고 있다.

Many ligands have been experimentally designed and tested for their activities as inhibitors against bacterial enoyl-ACP reductase (FabI), ENR. Here the binding energies of the reported ligands with the E. coli ENR-$NAD^+$ were calculated, analyzed and compared, and their molecular dynamics (MD) simulation study was performed. IDN, ZAM and AYM ligands were calculated to have larger binding energies than TCL and IDN has the largest binding energy among the considered ligands (TCL, S54, E26, ZAM, AYM and IDN). The contribution of residues to the ligand binding energy is larger in E. coli ENR-NAD+-IDN than in E. coli ENR-$NAD^+$-TCL, while the contribution of $NAD^+$ is smaller for IDN than for TCL. The large-size ligands having considerable interactions with residues and $NAD^+$ have many effective functional groups such as aromatic $\pi$ rings, acidic hydroxyl groups, and polarizable amide carbonyl groups in common. The cation-$\pi$ interactions have large binding energies, positively charged residues strongly interact with polarisable amide carbonyl group, and the acidic phenoxyl group has strong H-bond interactions. The residues which have strong interactions with the ligands in common are Y146, Y156, M159 and K163. This study of the reported inhibitor candidates is expected to assist the design of feasible ENR inhibitors.

Numerous biochemical molecules have been implicated in the development of muscular atrophy. However, control mechanisms associated with muscular disease are not clear. The present study was conducted to investigate gene expression profiles of rat muscle during the denervation to atrophy transition processes. We isolated total RNA from rats suffering from partial muscle atrophy (P) and electromyostimulated atrophy (PE) and synthesized cDNA using annealing control primers. Using 20 ACPs for PCR, we cloned 18 DEGs using TOPO TA cloning vector, sequenced, and analyzed their identities using BLAST search. Sequences of 14 clones significantly matched database entries, while one clone was ESTs, and 3 clones were unidentified. Different expression profiles of selected DEGs between P and PE were confirmed. The troponin T, Fkbp1a, RGD1307554, Phtf1, Atp1a1 and Commd3 were highly expressed genes in the P and PE groups, while Krox-25 and TCOX2 were only expressed genes in the P group, the Sv2b and Marcks were only expressed genes in PE group. also, Cox8h was highly expressed genes in PE groups. The ASPH, ND1, and ARPL1 were highly expressed genes in the P and PE groups. List of genes obtained from the present study might provide an insight for the study of mechanism regulating muscle atrophy and electrostimulated muscle atrophy transitions. These data suggest that troponin T, Fkbp1a, RGD1307554, Phtf1, Atp1a1, and Commd3 are potentially useful as clinical biomarkers of age-related muscle atrophy and dysfunction.
