This paper examines the thermal post-buckling behaviors of graphene-reinforced metal matrix composite (GRMMC) laminated cylindrical panels which possess in-plane negative Poisson's ratio (NPR) and rest on an elastic foundation. A panel consists of GRMMC layers of piece-wise varying graphene volume fractions to obtain functionally graded (FG) patterns. Based on the MD simulation results, the GRMMCs exhibit in-plane NPR as well as temperature-dependent material properties. The governing equations for the thermal post-buckling of panels are based on the Reddy's third order shear deformation shell theory. The von Karman nonlinear strain-displacement relationship and the elastic foundation are also included. The nonlinear partial differential equations for GRMMC laminated cylindrical panels are solved by means of a singular perturbation technique in associate with a two-step perturbation approach and in the solution process the boundary layer effect is considered. The results of numerical investigations reveal that the thermal post-buckling strength for (0/90)_5T GRMMC laminated cylindrical panels can be enhanced with an FG-X pattern. The thermal post-buckling load-deflection curve of 6-layer (0/90/0)_S and (0/90)_3T panels of FG-X pattern are higher than those of 10-layer (0/90/0/90/0)_S and (0/90)_5T panels of FG-X pattern.

The general pharmacological properties of EPO were investigated in various animals administering intravenously and in vitro system. The results were as follows. 1. Central nervous system: EPO at doses of 70, 700, 7000 U/kg showed no effect In mice on general behavior, on strychnine- and pentetrazol-induced convulsion and on acetic acid-induced writhing syndrome. The hexobarbital-induced sleeping time in mice was slightly reduced by EPO at a dose of 7000 U/kg but did not change at doses of 70, 700 U/kg. The body temperature in rats was slightly decreased by EPO at doses of 700, 7,000 U/kg but the change was in normal physiological range. 2. Respiratory and cardiovascular system: EPO showed no effect on respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rate, femoral blood flow, and electrocardiogram in anesthetized dogs at doses of 70, 700, 7000 U/kg. 3. Smooth muscle: EPO at concentrations of 70, 700 U/ml had no effect on the contractile response of isolated guinea pig ileum to histamine and acetylcholine. 4. Water and electrolytes excretion: EPO at dose above 700 U/kg increased urine volume in rats but did not affect the concentrations of $Na^{+},\;K^{+},\;Cl^{-}$ in urine. 5. Gastrointestinal system: EPO(70, 700, 7000 U/kg) had no effect on the intestinal charcoal meal propulsion 6. Blood coagulation system: The administration of EPO(70, 700, 7000 U/kg) had no effect on the plasma prothrombin time(PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) in mice. Platelet aggregation induced by ADP and collagen was not influenced by EPO(70 U/ml, 700 U/ml). The overall results obtained indicated that EPO exerts almost no serious pharmacological effect even at a 100-fold clinical dose(7000 U/kg).

본 연구에서는 새집증후군 원인가스 중 하나인 벤젠 가스 흡착특성을 향상시키기 위하여 활성탄소섬유에 함산소불소화 처리를 실시하였다. 함산소불소화 처리된 활성탄소섬유 표면특성 및 기공특성은 X-선광전자분광기(XPS)와 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) 분석을 통해 확인하였으며, 벤젠 가스 흡착 특성은 가스크로마토그래피(GC)로 평가하였다. XPS 결과로부터 불소분압이 증가함에 따라 활성탄소섬유 표면의 불소관능기가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 함산소불소화 처리 후 모든 샘플의 비표면적은 감소하였으나, 불소 분압이 0.1 bar일 때 그 미세기공 부피비가 증가하였다. 함산소불소화 처리된 활성탄소섬유는 11 h 동안 100 ppm의 벤젠 가스를 모두 흡착하였으며, 이는 미처리 활성탄소섬유와 비교하여 벤젠 가스 흡착효율이 약 2배 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of upper extremity exercise and Bandage on the edema and range of motion. Complex decongestive physiotherapy was one of the latest methods to deal with the limitation of range of motion and the edema that were the prime problems of patients with lymphedema. Methods : Twenty patients undergone mastectomy were participated in this study voluntarily. They had lymphedema on upper extremity and partial limitation of range of motion. The subjects had been treated with upper extremity home exercise and complex decongestive physiotherapy with Bandage for 4 weeks. The measure of these patients with upper extremity edema was included: the volume, arm circumfenence and range of motion. These were measured two times: before the treatment, after 4 weeks of the treatment. Results : The upper extremity edema of patients treated home exercise group and complex decongestive physiotherapy group with Bandage was definitely decreased (p<0.05). Moreover, the upper volume of those who were the same condition also significantly shrank and patients' arm circumferences of upper arm breathtakingly diminished as well (p<0.05). But home exercise group patients' arm circumferences of forearm was not remarkable(p>0.05). However, patients' range of motion who were treated with upper extremity exercise were evidently increased when compared to that of the before treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion : Complex decongestive physiotherapy and bandage performed by physical therapist increased the ROM of upper arm and reduced the edema in patients with lymphedema.

Purpose: Autologous fat grafting is a popular procedure for the correction of the soft tissue depression and deformity. But there are several issues required to be carefully considered in relation to this procedure, mainly about the unpredictability and the low survival rate of the grafted fat due to absorption and partial necrosis. Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) is a lysophospholipid mediator that has been proposed to promote angiogenesis and to regulate the differentiation of adipose derived stromal cells (ASCs). In this study, we analyzed the viability of the grafted fat tissue mixed with S1P into each 12 nude mice (cann.cg-fox1nu/crlori) compared to the group of mice grafted fat tissue only. Methods: Human aspirated fat was grafted subcutaneously into the backs of 8-week-old nude mice with or without S1P. Eight weeks later, the grafted fat was harvested and the weight and volume were checked. The fat was stained with hematoxylin-eosin and 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole. Results: S1P group weighed significantly more than the control group (p=0.009), and the volume from the S1P group was considerably larger than that of the control group (p=0.004) either. In histological features, the surviving layer of the S1P group was thicker than the control group and microvasculature appeared to be prominent in the S1P group, especially in the outer layers. Conclusion: These findings suggest that S1P plays a vital role in the soft tissue augmentation, potentially providing a novel point of the control in adipose tissue for microfat graft.

촤-가스화 반응은 반응온도, 반응가스 부분압력, 시스템 총 압력, 입자크기 등 운전조건뿐만 아니라 촤의 화학적 조성 및 물리적 구조의 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 두 종류의 역청탄 촤를 이용하여 반응온도 1,000-$1,400{^{\circ}C}$에서 $CO_{2}$ 가스화시 입자크기의 영향을 관찰하였다. 실험실 규모의 고정식 반응기를 이용하여 대기압 하에서 실험을 수행하였으며 반응가스인 $CO_{2}$(40 vol%)가 반응기에 공급되면 촤와 반응하여 CO를 생성하였다. 촤의 탄소 전환율을 측정하기 위하여 비분산적외선 방식의 CO/$CO_{2}$ 센서가 장착된 실시간 가스분석기를 이용하였다. 실험결과 동일한 온도에서 입자크기가 감소할수록 가스화 반응성은 증가하였으며 온도가 증가할수록 반응성에 미치는 입자크기의 영향은 더욱더 크게 증가하였다. 또한 반응성이 낮은 촤에서 입자크기의 영향은 다소 적게 나타났다. 입자크기와 석탄 종류는 반응모델에도 영향을 주었다. Shrinking core model은 반응성이 낮은 석탄을 잘 묘사했으며 반대로 Volume reaction model은 반응성이 높은 석탄을 잘 묘사하였다.

본 연구는 습식형 기포콘크리트의 단열성능 향상을 위한 소수성 에어로겔 기술 융합의 기초연구이다. 주요 실험변수는 에어로겔 혼입양으로서 기포 부피 대비 0%에서 40%로 변화하였다. 실험결과 에어로겔 혼입 기포 콘크리트의 압축강도는 일반 기포콘크리트에 비해 약 17%~34% 낮았다. 에어로겔이 기포 콘크리트 열전도율 저감에 미치는 영향도 미미하였는데, 이는 소수성 에어로겔의 비균질 분포 및 부분적 응집 때문이다. 따라서 에어로겔 혼입 기포콘크리트의 강도 및 열전도율 향상을 위해서는 에어로겔에 친수성을 부여하는 기술이 요구된다.

The effect of BRL 34915, a $K^{+}$ channe$Na^{+}$l opener, on renal function was investigated in anesthetized dog. BRL 34915, when given into the vein, elicited the decrease of urine volume accompanied with the reduction of renal plasma flow (RPF), osmolar clearance ($C_{osm}$) and amounts of sodium excreted into urine ($E_{na}$), whereas reabsorption rate of sodium in renal tubules ($R_{na}$), ratio of $K^{+}$ against $Na^{+}$ in urine ($K^{+}$ /$Na^{+}$) were elevated significantly with a partial fall of mean arterial pressure (MAP). BRL 34915 injected into a renal artery produced the diuretic action along with the increase in RPF $C_{osm}$, $E_{na}$ and amounts of potassium excreted in urine ($E_{k}$), and the decrease in $R_{na}$, reabsorption rate of potassium in renal tubules ($R_{k}$), free water clearance ($C_{H20}$) and $K^{+}/Na^{+}$ ratio in only ipsilateral kidney, however changes of the renal function were not observed in control kidney. BRL 34915 given into carotid artery exhibited the same aspect as changes of renal function induced by intravenous BRL 34915. These results suggest that BRL 34915 has dual effects, renally acting diuretic and centrally acting antidiuretic action.n.

This paper presents the reverse recovery characteristic according to the change of switching states when Si diode and SiC diode are used as clamp diode and proposes a method to minimize the switching loss containing the reverse recovery loss in the neutral-point-clamped inverter at low modulation index. The previous papers introduce many multiple circuits replacing Si diode with SiC diode to reduce the switching loss. In the neutral-point-clamped inverter, the switching loss can be also reduced by replacing device in the clamp diode. However, the switching loss in IGBT is large and the reduced switching loss cannot be still neglected. It is expected that the reverse recovery effect can be infrequent and the switching loss can be considerably reduced by the proposed method. Therefore, it is also possible to operate the inverter at the higher frequency with the better system efficiency and reduce the volume, weight and cost of filters and heatsink. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical analysis and experiment results.
