The purpose of this study was (a) to develop carbon nanotube-based shock absorbers for reducing potentially harmful impact forces and excessive foot pronation, and (b) to briefly determine how the effects of carbon nanotube-based shock absorbers on biomechanical variance during drop landing. A university student(age: 24.0 yrs, height: 176.2 cm, weight: 679.5 N) who has no musculoskeletal disorder was recruited as the subject. Hardness, specific gravity, tensile strength, elongation, 100% modulus, tear strength, split tear strength, compression set, resilience, vertical GRF, and loading rate were determined for each material. For each dependent variable, a descriptive statistics was used for different conditions. The property test results showed that tensile strength, tear strength, split tear strength, compression set, and resilience in carbon nanotube-based shock absorbers were greater than general Ethylene Vinyl Acetate(EVA). These indicated that resistance against variable strength in developed carbon nanotube-based shock absorbers were greater than general EVA. In vertical GRF of CNTC was less than those of EVA during drop landing and loading rate of CNTC was greater than EVA. It seems that the use of CNT can be a effective way of reducing and controlling shock from impact.

Present paper was attempted to investigate the effects of the light on the sclerotium formation of some isolates of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum(Lib.) do Bary from lettuce, cucumber and rape. The investigations were performed in the both aspects inducing sclerotial primordia from the mycelial colony and developing such primordia. The cultures were grown on potato-dextrose agar and were treated with day-light fluorescent lamps. In the continuous light illumination for 21 days, numbers of sclerotial primordia and matured sclerotia were increased with increasing the light intensity up to about 500 Lux, but on the contrary the dry-weight of matured sclerotia was decreased. In the 800 Lux illumination, induction of the primordia was extremely depressed, and then matured sclerotia were almost not produced. Short-time illumination for 48 hours, although the light intensity was as high as 5000 Lux, increased the numbers of sclerotial primordia and matured sclerotia. Dry-weight of matured sclerotia, however, was slightly increased only at low intensity of 160 Lux. On the other hand, the light shock which u·as alternatively on-of light every one minute for 48 hours increased the number and dry-weight of sclerotia produced, but the former was more effective at 500 Lux shock and the later more effective at 160 Lux shock.

The heat shock responses of Campylobacter jejuni were studied by examination of their survival rates and synthesis of heat shocd proteins. When C. jejuni cells were treated at the sublethal temperatures of 48.deg.C for 30 minutes, most of the cells maintained their viabilities and synthesized the heat shock proteins of 90, 73, and 66 kD in molecular weight. By the method of two-dimensional electrophoresis, the heat shock proteins of C. jejuni were identified to be Hsp90, Hsp73, and Hsp66. During the heat shock at 48.deg.C, the heat shock proteins were induced from about 5 minutes after the heat shock treatment. Their synthesis was continued upto 30 minutes, but remarkably retarded after 50 minutes. When C. jejune cells were heat shocked at 51.deg.C for 30 minutes, the survival rates of the cells were decreased by about $10^{3}$ fold and synthesis of heat shock proteins and normal proteins was also generally retarded. The cells exposed to 55.deg.C for 30 minutes died off by more than $10^{5}$ cells and the new protein synthesis was not observed. But when C. jejuni cells were heat-shocked at the sublethal temperature of 48.deg.C for 15 to 20 minutes and then were exposed at the lethal temperature of 55.deg.C for 30 minutes, their viabilities were higher than those exposed at 55.deg.C for 30 minutes without pre-heat shock at 48.deg.C. Therefore, the heat shock proteins synthesized at the sublethal temperature of 48.deg.C in C. jejuni were thought to be responsible for thermotolerance. However, when C. jejuni cells heat-shocked at various ranges of sublethal and lethal temperatures were placed back to the optimum temperature of 42.deg.C, the multiplication patterns of the cells pretreated at different temperatures were not much different each other.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of knee joint muscle fatigue and overweight on shock absorption during single-leg landing of adult women. Written informed consent forms, which were approved by the human subject research and review committee at Dong-A University, were provided to all subjects. The subjects who participated in this study were divided into 2 groups: a normal weight group and an overweight group, consisting of 15 young women each. Both the normal weight group and the overweight group showed that use soft landing and ankle dominant strategy. The peak vertical ground reaction force, the knee joint absorption power, and eccentric work done, as the increase of knee joint muscle fatigue level, showed a decrease. And the hip joint absorption power and eccentric work done, as the increase of weight, was less than the overweight group showed the normal weight group. In conclusion, the accumulation of the knee joint muscle fatigue and the increase of body weight may lead to an increased risk of injury during landing.

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of heat shock treatments on the phytochemicals including antioxidants and anticancer materials in kale (Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala) sprouts. In study I, kale sprouts grown under the growing system for four days were soaked at 40, 50, or $60^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 10, 30, or 60 seconds, and in study II, kale sprouts were soaked at $50^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 10, 20, 30, 45, or 60 seconds. After the heat shock treatments, the sprouts were transferred into normal growing conditions and recovered there for two days. Fresh and dry weights, electrolyte leakage, total phenolic concentration, antioxidant capacity, total flavonoid concentration, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity, and glucosinolates content of the sprouts were measured before and after the heat shock treatments. As a result, there was a significant decrease in the fresh and dry weight of kale sprouts treated with heat shock compared with control at harvest in study I. Especially, heat shock at $60^{\circ}C$ lead to more pronounced growth inhibition compared with heat treatments at 40 and $50^{\circ}C$. Electrolyte leakage by cell collapse was the highest in the sprouts exposed to $60^{\circ}C$ distilled water, which agreed with the growth results. Heat shock at $50^{\circ}C$ significantly induced the accumulation of phenolic compounds. In study II, fresh weight of kale sprouts at $50^{\circ}C$ heat shock showed a significant decrease compared with the control at one and two days after the treatment. However, the decrease was minimal and dry weight of kale sprouts was not significantly different from that in control. In contrast, the heat shock-treated kale sprouts had higher level of total phenolic concentration than control at harvest. Heat shock treatments at $50^{\circ}C$ for 20 seconds or more showed at least 1.5 and 1.2 times higher total phenolic concentration and antioxidants capacity than control, respectively. The change of the total flavonoid concentration was similar with that of antioxidants. PAL activity after 24 hours of heat shock was higher in all the heat shock-treated sprouts than that in control suggesting heat shock may stimulate secondary metabolic pathway in kale sprouts. Seven glucosinolates were identified in kale sprouts and soaking the sprouts with $50^{\circ}C$ water for 20 seconds had a pronounced impact on the accumulation of total glucosinolates as well as two major glucosinolates, progoitrin and sinigrin, at harvest. In conclusion, this study suggests that heat shock using hot water would be a potential strategy to improve nutritional quality of kale sprouts by inducing the accumulation of phytochemicals with antioxidant and anticancer properties.

The responses of C. jejuni to ethanol shock were studied for their survival. synthesis of ethanol shock proteins, and increased survival at higher concentration of ethanol upon prior treatments of ethanol. When C. jejuni were shocked with ethanol at 1. 3. and 5% for 60. 30 and 10 minutes, respectively. those cells synthesized the ethanol shock proteins of 90, 66, 60, 45, and 24 kd in molecular weight. When the C. ,jejuni shocked with 1 and 3% ethanol were exposed to 3 and 5% ethanol for 30 minutes. their survival rates were increased by $10^1$~$10^2$ as compared with those of the cells without ethanol-shock. In the same way. C. ,jejuni shocked with 5% ethanol for 10 minutes :.bowed about 102 times higher survival rates than the cells without ethanol-shock. This result suggests that C jejuni shocked with I-5% ethanol for 10-30 minutes synthesized five kinds of ethanol shock proteins. and that the shock proteins contributed to increase ethanol tolerance for their survival at the higher concentrations of ethanol.

This experiment was performed to estimate the changes on blood flow of the oral structures in hemorrhagic shock. Rabbits were anesthetized by intravenous injection of nembutal(30mg/kg). The Femoral artery was exposed and cannulated with polyethylene tubing filled with heparinized saline. Hypovolemic shock was induced by collecting the bloos of which amount was equaled as 2 % of body weight through arterial cannula for about 30 minutes. During hemorrhage, arterial blood pressure was recorded on recorder. In hypovolemic shock, arterial blood pressure decreased from 116.2±4.1 mmHg to 62.6±4.0 mmHg. Distribution of blood flow in oral tissues decreased to 30-50 % of control group. But blood flow of the masseter muscle was increased and the mandibular angle was not changed.

Main role of landing gear is to absorb the energy which is generated by aircraft lanidng and ground maneuvering. Generally, in order to absorb the impact energy during landing, oleo-pneumatic type shock absorber is used for aircraft landing gear. Oleo-pneumatic type shock absorber has a good energy absorbing efficiency and is light in weight because its structure is relatively simple. For the landing gear development, it is necessary to conduct drop test in order to verify shock absorbing performance. In the drop test, first, gas spring curve verification tests are conducted. Then, limit and reserve energy absorption drop tests are performed based on the STANAG 4671. The drop tests results with performance analysis results are presented.
