목섬유 단열재는 친환경 고단열성에 기인하여 저에너지 및 쾌적하고 안전한 주거 공간 형성을 위한 핵심 건축재료로 고려된다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 접착제로 제조한 단열재용 저밀도섬유판의 폼알데하이드(HCHO) 총휘발성유기화합물(TVOC) 방출 및 화염에 의한 연소 형상을 조사하였다. 멜라민 요소 폼알데하이드(MUF), 페놀 폼알데하이드(PF), emulsified methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (eMDI) 및 라텍스 수지 접착제 등으로 제조한 저밀도섬유판 4종의 HCHO TVOC 방출 특성 및 연소 형상은 각각 챔버법과 화염실험을 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 MUF, eMDI, 라텍스 수지 접착제로 제조한 저밀도섬유판들은 Super $E_0$급의 우수한 HCHO 저방출 성능을 나타냈다. 반면 PF 수지로 제조된 저밀도섬유판은 $E_0$급 성능을 나타내었다. TVOC 방출량은 모든 저밀도섬유판이 국내 실내공기질 기준(이하 $400{\mu}g/m^2{\cdot}h$)을 만족하였으며, 기존 석유계 합성원료 기반의 단열재보다 낮은 수치를 나타냈다. 그중에서도 특히 eMDI 수지 접착제로 제조한 경우에서는 HCHO 및 TVOC 방출량이 각각 $0.14mg/{\ell}$, $12{\mu}g/m^2{\cdot}h$로 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 그러나 eMDI로 제조한 저밀도섬유판에서 방출된 VOC의 성분을 조사한 결과, 톨루엔 성분($3{\mu}g/m^2{\cdot}h$)이 소량 검출되었다. 화염에 의한 연소시험에서는 MUF 수지 접착제로 제조한 저밀도섬유판이 다른 경우에 비하여 연소 후 비교적 가장 양호한 형상을 나타내었다. HCHO 및 TVOC 방출 특성, 연소 형상을 고려하였을 때 단열재용 저밀도섬유판은 MUF 수지 접착제가 가장 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 단판 함수율을 0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 15%, 30%로, 지방산: 글리세롤: MDI의 당량비율을 1:1:2, 1:1:3, 1:1:4, 1:1:5, 1:1:6 으로 달리하여 상태 (비내수)접착력을 조사하였다. 함수율 0%, 3%, 5%, 8%, 15%에서는 지방산 : 글리세롤 : MDI 당량비 1:1:2 일때, KS F 3101(보통합판) 기준 접착력 $7.0kgf/cm^2$를 상회하였으며, 함수율이 커질수록 접착력이 점차 감소하여 각각 $13.7kgf/cm^2$, $1.6kgf/cm^2$, $11.2kgf/cm^2$, $9.8kgf/cm^2$, $7.4kgf/cm^2$ 순으로 나타났다. 함수율 30% 에서는 지방산 : 글리세롤 : MDI 당량비 1:1:6 일 때, 강도 $8.1kgf/cm^2$로 KS 규격 접착력을 만족하였다. KS 규격 접착력을 만족시키기 위해서는 단판의 함수율이 증가할수록 MDI 비율을 높여야 한다.

The dielectric properties of two polyurethanes (PUs) with different hard segments, i.e., aromatic methylene di-p-phenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and aliphatic hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), were investigated in the temperature range of -100 to $100^{\circ}C$ and in the frequency range of 1 Hz to 3 kHz. The ${\alpha}$-relaxations induced by the glass transition of the equivalent soft segments in the two PUs occurred at relaxation times of ${\tau}=3.46{\times}10^{-3}s$ for MDI-PU and ${\tau}=3.39{\times}10^{-2}s$ for HDI-PU at $-20^{\circ}C$, in accord with the temperature-frequency superposition principle, resulting in similar shifting factors. However, different I-relaxations were observed for the two PUs. The I-relaxation of MDI-PU occurred due to the mobility of the chain extenders near $80^{\circ}C$ with a slower shifting rate than the ${\alpha}$-relaxation. On the other hand, I-relaxation arising from both the extender and the unconstrained hard segments of HDI-PU occurred at $70{\sim}100^{\circ}C$, indicating complicated dielectric behavior due to partial interaction with the ${\alpha}$-relaxation at high frequencies. Thus, the I-relaxation of HDI-PU did not follow the superposition principle. The dielectric behaviors of the PUs were mainly influenced by their phase transitions, which were affected by the structure and components of the materials.

Background: Canine adipose-derived stem cells (cADSCs) exhibit various differentiation properties and are isolated from the canine subcutaneous fat. Although cADSCs are valuable as tools for research on adipogenic differentiation, studies focusing on adipogenic differentiation methods and the underlying mechanisms are still lacking. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to establish an optimal method for adipogenic differentiation conditions of cADSCs and evaluate the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and estrogen receptor (ER) signaling in the adipogenic differentiation. Methods: To induce adipogenic differentiation of cADSCs, 3 different adipogenic medium conditions, MDI, DRI, and MDRI, using 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (M), dexamethasone (D), insulin (I), and rosiglitazone (R) were tested. Results: MDRI, addition of PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone to MDI, was the most significantly facilitated cADSC into adipocyte. GW9662, an antagonist of PPARγ, significantly reduced adipogenic differentiation induced by rosiglitazone. Adipogenic differentiation was also stimulated when 17β-estradiol was added to MDI and DRI, and this stimulation was inhibited by the ER antagonist ICI182,780. Conclusions: Taken together, our results suggest that PPARγ and ER signaling are related to the adipogenic differentiation of cADSCs. This study could provide basic information for future research on obesity or anti-obesity mechanisms in dogs.

Sunspots usually appear in a group which can be classified by certain morphological criteria. In this study we examine the moments which are statistical parameters computed by summing over every pixels of contours, in order to quantify the morphological characteristics of a sunspot group. The moments can be additional characteristics to the sunspot group classification such as McIntosh classification. We are developing a program for image processing, detection of contours and computation of the moments using continuum images from SOHO/MDI. We apply the program to count the sunspot numbers from 303 continuum images in 2003. The sunspot numbers obtained by the program are compared with those by SIDC. The comparison shows that they have a good correlation (r=89%). We are extending this application to automatic sunspot classification (e.g., McIntosh classification) and flare forecasting.

A Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) is one of the well-known deep-learning methods in image processing and computer vision area. In this study, we apply CNN to two kinds of flare forecasting models: flare classification and occurrence. For this, we consider several pre-trained models (e.g., AlexNet, GoogLeNet, and ResNet) and customize them by changing several options such as the number of layers, activation function, and optimizer. Our inputs are the same number of SOHO)/MDI images for each flare class (None, C, M and X) at 00:00 UT from Jan 1996 to Dec 2010 (total 1600 images). Outputs are the results of daily flare forecasting for flare class and occurrence. We build, train, and test the models on TensorFlow, which is well-known machine learning software library developed by Google. Our major results from this study are as follows. First, most of the models have accuracies more than 0.7. Second, ResNet developed by Microsoft has the best accuracies : 0.77 for flare classification and 0.83 for flare occurrence. Third, the accuracies of these models vary greatly with changing parameters. We discuss several possibilities to improve the models.

Acacia wood (Acacia mangium Willd.) is the most popular fast growing tree species planted in timber estate in Indonesia and is considered to be very valuable raw materials for structural composite products. The objective of the research was to evaluate the properties of OSB prepared from A. Mangium wood with or without immersing the strands to hot water at $80^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. MDI adhesive was used in 3 levels i.e., 3%, 5%, and 7%. The moisture content of strand was 7%. The results indicated that immersing strands in hot water for 2 hours at $80^{\circ}C$ prior to manufacture OSB improved significantly the mechanical peoperties (i.e., MOR and MOE) of OSB. The higher the adhesive content resulted in the better the dimensional stabilisation (i.e., water absorption and thickness swelling) and the mechanical properties (i.e., MOR, MOE and IB) of OSB. OSB prepared from hot-water immersed strands with 5% adhesive content has met all parameters requirement on the JIS A 5908 (2003) standard.

The study aims to explore the nature, drivers of BAE. In particular, how and why consumers engage with branded mobile apps. Since consumer engagement is a multi-dimensional and complex phenomenon, the authors took an interpretivist paradigm and used a grounded theory approach by interviewing 24 participants. The findings reveal that branded app engagement (BAE) is triggered by mainly three aspects, i.e., media characteristics (Privacy and security, customization, and convenience), brand-related aspects (brand image and product/service quality), and benefits sought (inherent and derived). More importantly, we uncover the underlying mechanism for each factor. Furthermore, the study explains the BAE process in its entirety from an app-centric perspective rather the brand powering the app. Thus, the study offers a fresh perspective and novel insights into the BAE process.
