In this study, the freezing process of L-shaped pipe exposed to the outside was investigated numerically by considering the mushy zone of freezing water. From the numerical results, it was found that the flow was outwardly directed due to the influence of the L-shaped bending part in the outside exposed part of the pipe, and the ice was formed in the shape of longitudinal corrugation on the wall surface of the pipe after the bending part. It is confirmed that this phenomenon is caused by the venturi effect due to the freezing as seen in connection with the velocity distribution in the pipe. It is found that the remelting phenomenon at the end of the freezing section occur simultaneously during the process of forming the ice in the pipe section. In regard of the factors affecting freezing, it was found that the thickness of the freezing layer is increased as the exposed pipe surface temperature is decreased, and the pipe surface temperature had a significant effect on the change of the freezing layer thickness. At the same time, it was found that the freezing layer becomes relatively thin when the water inflow rate is increased. This phenomenon was caused by reducing the exposure time of freezing water due to the vigorous flow convection of the water fluid.

Cilia are highly specialized organelles that extend from the cell membrane and function as cellular signaling hubs. Thus, cilia formation and the trafficking of signaling molecules into cilia are essential cellular processes. TULP3 and Tubby (TUB) are members of the tubby-like protein (TULP) family that regulate the ciliary trafficking of G-protein coupled receptors, but the functions of the remaining TULPs (i.e., TULP1 and TULP2) remain unclear. Herein, we explore whether these four structurally similar TULPs share a molecular function in ciliary protein trafficking. We found that TULP3 and TUB, but not TULP1 or TULP2, can rescue the defective cilia formation observed in TULP3-knockout (KO) hTERT RPE-1 cells. TULP3 and TUB also fully rescue the defective ciliary localization of ARL13B, INPP5E, and GPR161 in TULP3 KO RPE-1 cells, while TULP1 and TULP2 only mediate partial rescues. Furthermore, loss of TULP3 results in abnormal IFT140 localization, which can be fully rescued by TUB and partially rescued by TULP1 and TULP2. TUB's capacity for binding IFT-A is essential for its role in cilia formation and ciliary protein trafficking in RPE-1 cells, whereas its capacity for PIP₂ binding is required for proper cilia length and IFT140 localization. Finally, chimeric TULP1 containing the IFT-A binding domain of TULP3 fully rescues ciliary protein trafficking, but not cilia formation. Together, these two TULP domains play distinct roles in ciliary protein trafficking but are insufficient for cilia formation in RPE-1 cells. In addition, TULP1 and TULP2 play other unknown molecular roles that should be addressed in the future.

SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) technique for monitoring aircraft structural health and damage, EHM (Engine Health Monitoring) for monitoring aircraft engine performance, and APM (Application Performance Management) is used for each function. APMS (Airplane Performance Monitoring System) is a program that comprehensively applies these techniques to identify the difference between the performance manual provided by the manufacturer and the actual fuel mileage of the aircraft and reflect it in the flight plan. The main purpose of using APMS is to understand the performance of each aircraft, to plan and execute flights in an optimal way, and consequently to reduce fuel consumption. First, it is to check the fuel efficiency trend of each aircraft, check the correlation between the maintenance work performed and the fuel mileage, find the cause of the fuel mileage increase/decrease, and take appropriate measures in response. Second, it is to find the cause of fuel mileage degradation in detail by checking the trends by engine performance and fuselage drag effect. Third, the APMS is to be used in making maintenance work decisions. Through APMS, aircraft with below average fuel mileage are identified, the cause of fuel mileage degradation is identified, and appropriate corrective actions are determined. Fourth, APMS data is used to analyze the economic analysis of equipment installation investment. The cost can be easily calculated as the equipment installation cost, but the benefit is fuel efficiency improvement, and the only way to check this is the manufacturer's theory. Therefore, verifying the effect after installation and verifying the economic analysis is to secure the appropriateness of the investment. Through this, proper investment in fuel efficiency improvement equipment will be made, and fuel efficiency will be improved.

Two piperazine-templated metal sulfate complexes, $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Ni(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, I and ($C_4N_2H_{12}$) $[Co(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$, II, have been synthesized by hydro/solvothermal reactions and their crystal structures analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Complex I crystallizes in the monoclinic system, $P2_1/n$ space group, a=12.920(3), b=10.616(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.09(1)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.030$ for 3683 reflections; II: monoclinic $P2_1/n$, a=12.906(3), b=10.711(2), $c=13.303(2){\AA}$, ${\beta}=114.10(2)^{\circ}$, Z=4, $R_1=0.032$ for 4010 reflections. The crystal structures of the piperazine-templated metal(II) sulfates demonstrate zero-dimensional compound constituted by diprotonated piperazine cations, metal(II) cations and sulfate anions. The structures of complex I and II are substantially isostructural to that of the previously reported our piperazine-templated copper(II) sulfate complex $(C_4N_2H_{12})[Cu(H_2O)_6](SO_4)_2$. The central metal(II) atoms are coordinated by six water molecules in the octahedral geometry. The crystal structures are stabilized by three-dimensional networks of the $O_{water}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ and $N_{pip}-H{\cdots}O_{sulfate}$ hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and sulfate anions and protonated piperazine cations. Based on the results of thermal analysis, the thermal decomposition reactions of the complex I was analyzed to have three distinctive stages whereas the complex II proceed through several stages.

본 연구에서 사용된 바이오폴리머는 미생물로부터 추출한 ${\beta}$-glucan 및 xanthan gum 이 주성분인 친환경 신소재이며, 토양에 처리하면 강도 증진을 통한 제방의 침식 및 유실 감소뿐만 아니라 토양 내 수분보유력을 증가시키는 것으로 보고되어 있다. 그러나 바이오폴리머가 제방에 적용되었을 때 주변 식생에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 미흡한 상황이다. 본 연구는 가뭄 조건에서 토양 내 바이오폴리머 혼합 유무에 따라 Camelina sativa L. (Camelina)의 생육에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 각각 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1%의 바이오폴리머가 혼합된 토양에서 발아로부터 25일간 가뭄 처리 후 표현형을 관찰한 결과, 혼합된 바이오폴리머 농도가 높을수록 가뭄 피해가 감소하였다. 특히 25일 동안의 가뭄 처리된 0.5% 바이오폴리머 혼합구에서 신장, 엽장, 엽폭이 대조구 보다 각각 약 30, 70, 170% 증가하였다. 이후 재급수를 통한 바이오폴리머 혼합구의 회복률 또한 약 80% 높게 나타났다. 식물의 근권 발달을 보기 위해 20일 동안 가뭄을 처리하였으며, 대조구에 비해 바이오폴리머 혼합구에서 측근 형성 및 발달이 약 40% 감소한 것을 확인하였다. Camelina에 가뭄 처리하여 기공전도도, 전해질 유출도, 상대적 수분함량 등 생리적 반응을 조사한 결과, 바이오폴리머의 혼합이 가뭄으로 인한 피해를 각각 약 50, 70, 50% 감소시켰다. 바이오폴리머가 가뭄 조건 하에서 식물의 생장에 미치는 영향을 분자수준에서 알아보기 위해 Reverse Transcription- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR)을 통한 유전자 발현양상을 분석하였다. 수분수송 관련 유전자 (aquaporin)인 PIP1;4, 2;1, 2;6 및 TIP1;2, 2;1 발현이 바이오폴리머 혼합구 및 가뭄 처리된 Camelina 잎에서 더 높게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 종합하였을 때, 바이오폴리머는 가뭄 조건에서 토양 내 수분보유력을 유지시킴으로써 Camelina의 양 수분의 흡수 및 생육에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 보인다.

배경: Phospholipase C(PLC)는 세포의 성장, 분화, 변형(transformation)과 관련된 세포내 신호 전달과정에 중추적인 역할을 하는 효소이다. 이들 중 PLC-$\gamma$는 tyrosine kinase의 인산화에 의해 주로 활성화되는 데, 최근에 phosphatidic acid(PA), phosphatidy-linositol 3, 4, 5-trisphosphate($PIP_3$), tau 단백에 의한 활성화 기전이 밝혀진 바 있다. 특히 tau 단백은 bovine brain에서 arachidonic acid와 함께 PLC-$\gamma$를 활성화시키는 것으로 알려져 PLC-$\gamma$와 $PLA_2$ 사이의 cross-talk이 이루어질 가능성이 제시되고 있다. 최근 보고에 의하면 tau 단백과 같은 기전으로 PLC-${\gamma}1$ 활성화시키는 단백이 bovine lung에서 발견되었고, 이 활성화 단백을 정제 및 클론하여 AHNAK 단백임이 확인된 바 있다. 또한 PLC-${\gamma}1$이 유방암, 대장암, 위암 등에서 증가되어 있어 발암 과정과 연관되어 있음이 보고되어 왔으나 PLC-${\gamma}1$의 활성화 단백인 AHNAK 단백에 대해서는 질병과 관련되어 연구된 것이 아직 없는 실정이며 저자 등은 폐암 조직과 정상 폐조직에서 AHNAK 단백의 발현 양상을 연구하여 폐암의 발암과정에 AHNAK 단백이 관여함을 밝히고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 아주대학교 병원에 내원하여 폐암으로 수술을 받은 환자의 폐암 조직과 동일 환자의 정상 폐조직에서 AHNAK 단백의 발현양상을 western blot 분석과 면역조직화학적 염색방법을 통하여 조사하였다. 결과: 14예의 편평상피암 세포조직 중 8예 (57.1 %)와 14예의 선암 세포조직 모두에서 정상 대조군에 비해 AHNAK 단백의 발현이 증가하였고, 70 kDa~200kDa의 여러가지 분자량을 가지는 띠모양으로 나타났다. 면역조직화학적 염색에서도 정상 폐조직보다 폐암 조직내에서 강한 발색반응을 보였다. 결론: PLC-${\gamma}1$의 활성화 단백인 AHNAK 단백이 폐암 조직에서 정상 조직보다 과발현된 것은, AHNAK 단백이 PLC-${\gamma}1$을 활성화시켜 폐암의 발생 기전에 관여할 수 있음을 뒷받침한다고 하겠다.

본 연구에서는 탄소섬유, 탄화규소섬유 그리고 하이브리드섬유를 강화재로 하여 TGCVI와 PIP 혼합 공정으로 $C_f/SiC$, $SiC_f/SiC$, $C_f-SiC_f/SiC$의 세라믹복합재를 제조하였다. 열충격싸이클시험, 3점 굴곡시험과 Oxy-Acetylene 토취 시험후에 그들의 기계적물성, 산화저항성과 내삭마성을 평가하였다. $C_f/SiC$복합재는 온도 증가에 따라서 기계적물성의 감소와 준 연성의 파단모드, 그리고 높은 삭마량을 보였다. $SiC_f/SiC$복합재는 $C_f/SiC$ 복합재에 비하여 강한 기계적물성, 낮은 삭마량을 그리고 취성의 파단모드를 나타냈다. 한편 하이브리드 복합재는 가장 우수한 기계적물성과 $SiC_f/SiC$보다는 연성의 파단모드 그리고 $C_f/SiC$ 보다 낮은 삭마량의 결과를 나타냈다. Oxy-Acetylene 토취 시험 중에 SiC매트릭스는 산화되어 $SiO_2$층을 형성하였으며, 특히 이 층은 $C_f-SiC_f/SiC$와 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합재에서 섬유의 추가적인 삭마를 막는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 낮은 기공율을 갖는 하이브리드 복합재를 제조한다면, $C_f/SiC$의 산화로 인한 기계적물성의 감소와 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합재의 취성 파단모드의 개선으로 고온 산화분위기에서 고온열구조재로의 적용이 높을 것으로 기대한다.

국내에서 처음으로 도입한 기상 항공기에 탑재한 G-band 수증기 라디오미터(GVR) 관측으로 산출된 가강수량의 품질 관리 방법을 제안하였다. GVR 빔의 연직 최단 경로 자료만 사용하기 위해 기상 항공기의 자세 정보(pitch와 roll 각도)를 활용하였고, GVR 가강수량이 20 mm 이상의 자료를 제거하는 방법을 품질 관리에 적용하였다. GVR 가강수량이 20 mm 이상으로 증가할 때, 웜로드(Warm load) 평균 전력과 스카이로드(Sky load) 평균 전력의 차이가 0에 가까이 수렴하는 특성을 확인하였고, 이는 COMS (Communication, Ocean and Meteorological Satellite)의 운형, 운정고도, 운량자료와 구름통합관측기기(CCP), 강수입자 측정기(PIP)로 측정된 강수 및 구름 입자 크기로 확인한 하층운과 중층운에 의한 높은 밝기온도 때문으로 판단된다. 구름 많은 날의 품질 관리 적용 전후의 GVR 가강수량을 LDAPS (Local Data Assimilation and Prediction System) 가강수량과 정량적으로 비교하였는데 RMSD (Root Mean Square Difference)는 2.9 mm에서 1.8 mm로 감소하였고, KLAPS (Korea Local Analysis and Prediction System)와의 RMSD는 5.4 mm에서 4.3 mm로 감소하여 향상된 정확도를 보였다. 또한 품질 관리를 적용한 GVR 가강수량과 드롭존데 가강수량 관측 자료을 활용하여 COMS 가강수량과도 정량적으로 비교평가함으로써 본 연구에서 제안한 GVR 가강수량의 품질 관리 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.

SPIN90 was identified to farm molecular complex with $\betaPIX$, WASP and Nck. This complex shows that SPIN90 interacts with Nck in a manner dependent upon cell adhesion to extracellular matrix, but $SPIN90{\cdot}{\beta}PIX{\cdot}WASP$ complex was stable even in suspended cells. This suggests that SPIN90 serves as an adaptor molecule to recruit other proteins to Nck at focal adhesions. SPIN90 was phosphorylated by ERK1, which was, itself, activated by cell adhesion and platelet-derived growth factor. Such phosphorylation of SPIN90 likely promotes the interaction of the $SPIN90{\cdot}{\beta}PIX{\cdot}WASP$ complex and Nck. It thus appears that the interaction of the $SPIN90{\cdot}{\beta}PIX{\cdot}WASP$ complex with Nck is crucial for stable cell adhesion and can be dynamically modulated by SPIN90 phosphorylation that is dependent on cell adhesion and ERX activation. SPIN90 directly binds syndapin I, syndapin isoform II-1 and II-s via its PRD region in vitro, in vivo and also associates with endocytosis core components such as clathrin and dynamin. In neuron and fibroblast, SPIN90 colocalizes with syndapins as puntate form, consistent with a role for SPIN90 in clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway. Overexpression of SPIN90 N-term inhibits receptor-mediated endocytosis. Interestingly, SPIN90 PRD, binding interface of syndapin, significantly blocks internalization of transferrin, demonstrating SPIN90 involvement in endocytosis in vivo by interacting syndapin. Depletion of endogenous SPIN90 by introducing $\alpha-SPIN90$ also blocks receptor-mediated endocytosis. Actin polymerization could generate farce facilitating the pinch-out event in endocytosis, detach newly formed endocytic vesicle from the plasma membrane or push out them via the cytosol on actin tails. Here we found that SPIN90 localizes to high actin turn over cortical area, actin-membrane interface and membrane ruffle in PDGF treated cells. Overexpression of SPIN90 has an effect on cortical actin rearrangement as filopodia induction and it is mediated by the Arp2/3 complex at cell periphery. Consistent with a role in actin organization, CFP-SPIN90 present in actin comet tail generated by PIP5 $kinase\gamma$ overexpression. Therefore this study suggests that SPIN90 is functional linker between endocytosis and actin cytoskeleton.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase Cδ (PLCδ) plays an important role in many cellular responses and is involved in the production of second messenger. The present study was conducted to characterize the catalytic and regulatory properties of the PLCδ of Misgurnus mizolepis (ML-PLCδ). The ML-PLCδ gene was cloned and expressed under according to the method of the previous report (Kim et al., 2004), and its recombinant protein was purified by successive chromatography using Ni2+-NTA affinity column. The recombinant ML-PLCδ showed a concentration-dependent PLC activity to phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) or phosphatidylinositol (PI). Its activity was absolutely Ca2+-dependence, which was similar to mammalian PLCδ isozymes. The Ca2+ concentration yielding maximal activation of ML-PLCδ was 100 μM. However, the activity was decreased interestingly by a polyamine, such as spermine and spermidine. In vitro assay using cholate-micelle cell, ML-PLCδ activity was inhibited in dose-dependent manner by sphinogosine but increased by phosphocholine . In the lipid-binding assay, ML-PLCδ was strongly bound to LPA, PI(3)P, PI(4)P, PI(5)P, PI(3,5)P2, PI(4,5)P2, PI(3,4,5)P3 and PA, but it showed the low affinity to S1P, PI(3,4)P2 and PS. Taken together our results, it is suggested that the general catalytic and regulatory properties of ML-PLCδ are similar with those of mammalian PLCδ1 isozymes, but the N-terminal extended piscine phospholipase Cδ1 (ML-PLCδ) might reflect some distinctions in regulatory properties and inositol-lipid binding specificity between piscine ML-PLCδ and mammalian PLCδ isozymes.
