The ligand binding signals to a wide variety of seven transmembrane cell surface receptors are transduced into intracellular signals through heterotrimeric G-proteins. Recently, there have been reports which show diverse coupling patterns of ligand-activated receptors to the members of Gq family $\alpha$ subunits. In order to shed some light on these complex signal processing networks, interactions between G$\alpha$q family of G protein and neurokinin-2 receptor as well as muscarinic M$_{1}$ receptor, which are considered to be new thearpeutic targets in asthma, were studied. Using washed membranes from Cos-7 cells co-transfected with different G.alpha.q and receptor cDNAs, the receptors were stimulated with various concentrations of carbachol and neurokinin A and the agonist-dependent release of [$^3H$]inositol phosphates through phospholipase C beta-1 activation was measured. Differential coupling of Gaq family of G-protein to muscarinic M$_{1}$ receptor and neurokinin-2 receptor was observed. The neurokinin-2 receptor shows a ligand-mediated response in membranes co-transfected with G$\alpha$q, G$\alpha$11 and G$\alpha$14 but not G$\alpha$16 and the ability of the muscarinic $M_1$ receptor to activate phospholipase C through G$\alpha$/11 but not G$\alpha$14 and G$\alpha$16 was demonstrated. Clearly G$\alpha$/11 can couple $\M_1$ and neurokinin-2 receptor to activate phospholipase C. But, there are differences in the relative coupling of the G$\alpha$14 and G$\alpha$16 subunits to these receptors.

인삼 성분의 열불안정성과 실용성을 고려하여 상압 조건에서 마이크로웨이브 추출실험을 실시하면서 반응 표면분석에 의해 추출조건의 최적화 및 추출특성을 모니터링하였다. 가용성 성분의 수율은 에탄올 농도가 낮고 microwave power가 높을수록, 조사포닌 함량은 에탄올 농도가 높을수록 증가하였다. 그리고 추출물의 가용성성분 함량, 조사포닌 함량, 페놀성화합물 함량, 전자공여작용 등의 추출물 특성을 모두 만족시키는 최적 추출조건을 예측하여 보았을 때, 에탄올 농도 $54{\sim}60%$ 범위, microwave power $41{\sim}90$ W 범위, 추출 시간 4분 이내로 나타났다. 예측회귀식의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 예측된 추출조건의 임의의 최적점에서 실제 추출실험을 실시해 본 결과, 각 반응변수들의 예측값은 실제값과 유사하였다.

고추건조에 있어서 품질의 최적화를 위한 최적건조 공기온도와 상대습도를 수학적 최적화기법에 의하여 찾았다. 얻어진 최적 건조조건을 품질변화 kinetics와 제어변수가 상태변수의 변화에 미치는 영향을 관점에서 분석하였다. Carotenoids의 보존과 갈변억제를 위한 최적 건조조건은 거의 일치하였다. 2단계 건조의 최적 조건은 상대습도는 약 10%의 하한값을 취하면서 첫 번째 단계 건조에서 50%의 하한온도를 취하고 두 번째 단계 건조에서는 고온으로 증가하였다. 두 번째 단계 건조온도와 단계 이동시간은 전체건조 소요시간에 따라 달랐다. 제어변수가 시간에 대해 일정한 경우의 고추건조를 반응표면 분석에 의하여 제어변수의 영향을 살펴볼 때 최적점이 하한의 상대습도에서 목적건조 수분함량 0.2(건물기준)를 얻을 수 있는 가장 낮은 건조온도로 결정됨이 확인되었다. 2단계 건조는 건조 소요시간이 비교적 짧을 때 3-5%의 목적함수 개선의 효과가 있었다.

A field experiment was conducted at the forage experimental plots, Seoul National University, Suweon h m 1995 to 1996 to determine the effect of legume residues as a N source and N fertilizer on corn (Zea mays L.) silage yield, N uptake, and availability of inorganic N in the soil. Corn was grown following (i) red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), (ii) crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.), (iii) alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) and (iv) winter fallow. The plots were split into two rates of fertilizer N (0 and 90kg Nlha) in a split-plot experimental plan. Compared with fallow treatment, legumes depleted soil water in the surface 15cm at corn planting by 17 to 26%. As a result, corn emergence was markedly delayed with legume residues by 8 to 11 days. Corn silage DM yield was significantly reduced in the presence of legume residues by 2.0 to 3.4 and 1.5 to 2.5 tonlha compared with winter fallow treatment at 0 and 90kg fertilizer Nlha, respectively, but no significant difference in the corn DM yield was found between legume residue treatments. There was an overall tendency for increased corn yields with 90kg fertilizer Nlha compared to Okg fertilizer Nlha, although not all yield increases were significantly greater. The corn yield response to applied N suggests that a source of N from legume residues was not sufficient for a succeeding corn crop. There was significantly more N (P

This paper is concerned with optimum design of a center-pillar assembly induced by the high-speed side impact of the vehicle. In order to simulate deformation behavior of the center-pillar assembly, simplified finite element model of the center-pillar and a moving deformable barrier are developed based on results of the crash analysis of a full vehicle model. In optimization of the deformation shape of the center-pillar, S-shaped deformation is targeted to guarantee reduction of the injury level of a driver dummy in the crash test. Tailor-welded blanks are adopted in the simplified center-pillar model to control the deformation shape of the center-pillar assembly. The thickness of each part which constitutes the simplified model is selected as a design parameter. The thickness of parts which have significant effect on the deformation mechanism are selected as design parameters with sensitivity analysis based on the design of experiment technique. The objective function is constructed so as to minimize the weight and lead to an S-mode deformation shape. The result shows that the simplified model can be utilized effectively for optimum design of the center-pillar members with remarkable saving of computing time.

본 연구에서는 말뚝이 근입된 연약지반의 탄소성 해석을 수행하여 말뚝에 작용하는 하향력을 산정하였다. 이때 단독말뚝과 군말뚝(3$\times$3, 5$\times$5)을 대상으로 각각 2차원과 3차원 유한요소해석을, 말뚝주면에서 slip의 유무에 따라 수행하여 그 영향정도를 파악하였다. 하향력의 발생정도는 말뚝주면에서의 마찰계수, 지표면과 말뚝두부에 작용하는 상재하중에 큰 영향을 받는다. 이와 같은 영향인자를 토대로 수치해석 결과, 하향력은 no-slip의 경우가 slip의 경우에 비해서 상당히 과대하게 산정되었으며, 또한 말뚝두부에 하중이 증가함에 따라 하향력은 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 한편 그룹효과가 있는 군말뚝의 하향력은 단독말뚝의 하향력에 비해서 크게 감소 하는 것으로 나타났으며, 수치 및 사례분석을 통해 slip 해석의 적절함을 확인하였다.

High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) using phosphoric acid (PA) doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membranes have been concentrated as one of solutions to the limits with traditional low temperature PEMFCs. However, the amount of reported experimental data is not enough to catch the operational characteristics correlated with cell performance and durability. In this study, design of experiments (DOE) based operational optimization method for high temperature PEMFCs has been proposed. Response surface method (RSM) is very useful to effectively analyze target system's characteristics and to optimize operating conditions for a short time. Thus RSM using central composite design (CCD) as one of methodologies for design of experiments (DOE) was adopted. For this work, the statistic models which predict the performance and degradation rate with respect to the operating conditions have been developed. The developed performance and degradation models exhibit a good agreement with experimental data. Compared to the existing arbitrary operation, the expected cell lifetime and average cell performance during whole operation could be improved by optimizing operating conditions. Furthermore, the proposed optimization method could find different new optimal solutions for operating conditions if the target lifetime of the fuel cell system is changed. It is expected that the proposed method is very useful to find optimal operating conditions and enhance performance and durability for many other types of fuel cell systems.

For electrolysis process using an insoluble electrode, electrochemical performance was greatly affected by the manufacturing method and procedure, such as the firing temperature, pre-treatment, type of precursor solution, coating method, electrode material, etc. Components of the electrode therein is one of the most important factors in electrochemical reaction. To achieve such characteristics, a appropriate ratio of the electrode material should be carefully chosen. The aim of this research was to apply experimental design method in the optimization of electrode component for the maximum generation of oxidants in electrochemical oxidation process. Mixture design, especially expanded simplex lattice design, in DOME (design of mixture experiments) with Design Expert - commercial software - was used to analyze the data. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a high coefficient of determination ($R^2$) value of 0.9470, thus ensuring a satisfactory adjustment of the $3^{rd}$ order special cubic regression model with the experimental data. The application of response surface methodology (RSM) yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the TRO generation concentration and independent variables(mol ratio of 3 electrode components) in a real unit: TRO generation concentration $(mg/L)=TRO\;conc.=98.25{\times}[Ir]+49.71{\times}[Sn]+95.29{\times}[Sb]-16.91{\times}[Ir]{\times}[Sn]-29.47{\times}[Ir]{\times}[Sb]-22.65{\times}[Sn]{\times}[Sb]+703.19{\times}[Ir]{\times}[Sn]{\times}[Sb]$. The optimized formulation of the 3 component electrode for an high TRO (total residual oxidants) generation was acquired at mol ratio of Ir 0.406, Sn 0.210, Sb 0.384 (desirability d value, 1).
