The quantity, process and kinetics of di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) migration in the 30/70 and 40/60 poly(vinylchloride) (PVC)/DEHP blends were investigated using gas chromatograph. A thin and flexible PVC sheet was soaked in surrounding medium (SM) of water/ethanol mixture and acetonitrile with constant stirring to release DEHP. By observed concentration of DEHP in the SM, it is found that acetonitrile is more intense in DEHP migration than water/ethanol mixture. In addition the amount of extracted DEHP is proportional to the leaching temperature and added ratio of DEHP. The behavior of DEHP migration from flexible PVC sheets was described by the Ficks's law with $2.72-10.1\;{times}\;10^{-10}$ cm²/s of the diffusion coefficients.

Cube textured Ni substrate were fabricated for YBCO coated conductors from the initial specimens prepared by powder metallurgy (P/M) and casting and the effects of annealing temperature and reduction ratio on texture formation and microstructural evolution were evaluated. The initial specimens were rolled and then annealed in the temperature at $600^{\circ}C{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$. A strong cube texture formed for P/M substrate, and the degree of texture did not significantly vary with annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the texture of casting substrate was more dependent on the annealing temperature and twin texture and several minor texture components started to form at $1000^{\circ}C$.

Since chemical structures of ginsenoside as active ingredient of Panax ginseng are known, accumulating evidence have shown that ginsenoside is one of bio-active ligands through the diverse physiological and pharmacological evaluations. Chemical structures of ginsenoside could be divided into three parts depending on diol or triol ginsenoside: Steroid- or cholesterol-like backbone structure, carbohydrate portions, which are attached at the carbon-3, -6 or -20, and aliphatic side chain coupled to the backbone structure at the carbon-20. Ginsenosides also exist as stereoisomer at the carbon-20. Bioactive ligands usually exhibit the their structure-function relationships. In ginsenosides, there is little known about the relationship of chemical structure and biological activity. Recent reports have shown that ginsenoside $Rg_3$, one of active ginsenosides, exhibits its differential physiological or pharmacological actions depending on its chemical structure. This review will show how ginsenoside $Rg_3$, as a model compound, is functionally coupled to voltage-gated ion channel or ligand-gated ion channel regulations in related with its chemical structure.

Knowledge of the physical locations of access point of WLAN is becoming increasingly important with the rise of location-based services. In this article, we propose a new AP localization method using neural network approach. Basic theory and properties are derived for precise outdoor AP localization using GPS location information and RSSI. Rules for neural network model are derived and simulation has finally been done to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The simulation results show that the proposed method can result in AP localization with very. low error probability.

To apply HTS to AC devices, it is necessary that study theoretically and experimentally to analyze the AC losses. It should be investigated the theoretical mechanisms precede the actual experiments. Because the AC losses cause some complicated troubles in AC machines, we can design the machines properly. In this study, firstly we analyze the basic cause of AC losses by investigating the several loss factors, secondly measure the AC losses of HTS by using Magnetization. Technique and this results show that AC losses of HTS is tenuous than those of general materials used in power system. Consequently we can compare the actual results with the theoretical results. And we find that AC losses of HTS are related to the amplitude of external magnetic field and the frequency. Through this study, we find that it is possible to apply the results by Magnetization. Technique to the AC power system, to the design of AC machine, to design of HTS proper to the foretold AC losses.

The lchthyofauna was investigated at the nine sites in the Tam-jin River from September 10, 1990 to October 12, 1993. The fishes were collected by means of a casting net and hooks. The collected fishes were classified into 34 species of 26 genera in 13 families. In the present study 3species of Acanthogobius hasta, Macropodus chinensis and Channa argus were newly collected. Among the 34 species, 12 were known to be endemic species in korean waters they are Rhodeus uyekii, Acheilognathus yamatsutae, Acanthorhodeus gracilis, Sarcocheilichtys variegatus wakiyae, Squalidus chankaensis tsuchigae, Squalidus japonicus, Squalidus gracilis, Microphysogobio yaluensis, Cobitis longicorpus, Pseudobagrus koreanus, Liobagrus mediadiposalis, Odontobutis platycephala. The dominant species were Zacco platypus, Zacco temmincki and Acheilognathus yamatsutae.

In order to compare the accuracy of impression technique using the addition silicone putty and improved heavy body material, impression were taken for the natural 6 maxillary anterior teeth, and for the metal mast model that has full arch shape with 4 cylindrical abutment teeth. Marginal gingiva was retracted by routine method using retraction cord, and two techniques were tried to compare the length of impression materials in the gingival sulcus. This was aimed to see the effect of viscosity and hydraulic pressure of impression materials for the subgingival impression. Impressions for the full arch-shaped metal master model were taken to compare the linear stability of the different impression materials and their related techniques. The conclusions were as belows : 1. The one-step impression technique showed longer extension of impression material in gingival sulcus than two-step impression technique. 2. High viscosity and hydraulic pressure of impression material were useful to take subgingival impression. 3. There was no statistically significant difference for the two-dimensional accuracy of impression technique, but two-step technique showed better trend than one-step technique.

This paper describes the test results of magnetic field distributions of superconducting MRI magnet in an insert dewar. To get a very high homogeneous magnetic field, various shim coils are installed besides the main magnet. The operating currents of each shim coils are obtained from the exact measurements of the magnetic field. In this paper, we report the test results of the magnetic field distribution measurements with various shim coils.

Cells are constantly exposed to endogenous and exogenous stresses that can result in DNA damage. In response, they have evolved complex pathways to maintain genomic integrity. RUNX family transcription factors (RUNX1, RUNX2, and RUNX3 in mammals) are master regulators of development and differentiation, and are frequently dysregulated in cancer. A growing body of research also implicates RUNX proteins as regulators of the DNA damage response, often acting in conjunction with the p53 and Fanconi anemia pathways. In this review, we discuss the functional role and mechanisms involved in RUNX factor mediated response to DNA damage and other cellular stresses. We highlight the impact of these new findings on our understanding of cancer predisposition associated with RUNX factor dysregulation and their implications for designing novel approaches to prevent cancer formation in affected individuals.

From the data of solar wind observation by ACE spacecraft orbiting the Earth-Sun Lagrangian point, we selected 48 forward interplanetary shocks(IPSs) occurred in 2000, maximum solar activity period. Examining the profiles of solar wind parameters, the IPSs are classified by their shock drivers. The significant shock drivers are the interplanetary coronal mass ejection(ICME) and the high speed stream(HSS). The IPSs driven by the ICMEs are classified into shocks driven by magnetic clouds and by ejectas based on the existence of magnetic flux rope structure and magnetic field strength. Some IPSs could be formed as the blast wave by the smaller energy and shorter duration of shock drivers such as type II radio burst. Out of selected 48 forward IPSs, $56.2\%$ of the IPSs are driven by ICME, $16.7\%$ by HSS, and $16.7\%$ of the shocks are classified into blast-wave type shocks. However, the shock drivers of remaining $10\%$ of the IPSs are unidentified. The classification of the IPSs by their driver is a first step toward investigating the critical magnitudes of the IPS drivers commencing the magnetic storms in each class.
