We have revisited Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations for clumpy molecular clouds. Instead of introducing a three-dimensional geometry to implement clumpy structure, we have made use of its stochastic properties in a one-dimensional geometry. Taking into account the reduction of spontaneous emission and optical depth due to clumpiness, we have derived the excitation conditions of clumpy clouds and compared them with those of three-dimensional calculations. We found that the proposed approach reproduces the excitation conditions in a way compatible to those from three-dimensional models, and reveals the dependencies of the excitation conditions on the size of clumps. When bulk motions are involved, the applicability of the approach is rather vague, but the one-dimensional approach can be an excellent proxy for more rigorous three-dimensional calculations.

Scale and rust generation in water pipes is a common phenomenon when cast iron water pipes have been used for a long time. A physical water treatment device is known among various means for suppressing rust in a water pipe, and a zinc ionization device for putting zinc metal into a pipe and emitting the zinc cation into water is one of such devices. This research measured the amount of zinc ion generated, which is known to exhibit an effect of inhibiting rust and scale generation in a pipe, and examined the scale and rust inhibition effect of the ionization device installed for ground or building water supply. In the case of distilled water, the concentration of zinc ion increased by circulating water in the ionization device several times, and it was verified to be hundreds of μg/L, and in the case of discharging ground or tap water, it was verified to be tens of μg/L. In addition, a verification pipe was installed to confirm the change inside the pipe before and after installation of the zinc ionization device, and the internal condition of the pipe was observed 3 months to several years after installation. It was confirmed that the corrosion area of the surface of the pipe was no longer increased by installing a corrosion inhibitor, and if the pipe was already filled with corrosion products, the amount of corrosion products gradually decreased every year after installation. The phenomenon of fewer corrosion products could be interpreted as expanding the space in the pipe due to the corrosion product as Fe2O3 adhered to the inner surface of the pipe and turned into a smaller black Fe3O4. In addition, we found that scale such as CaCO3 together in the corrosion by-products gradually decreased with the attachment of the ionization device.

We present an updated version of the multilayer spectral inversion (MLSI) recently proposed as a technique to infer the physical parameters of plasmas in the solar chromosphere from a strong absorption line. In the original MLSI, the absorption prole was constant over each layer of the chromosphere, whereas the source function was allowed to vary with optical depth. In our updated MLSI, the absorption prole is allowed to vary with optical depth in each layer and kept continuous at the interface of two adjacent layers. We also propose a new set of physical requirements for the parameters useful in the constrained model tting. We apply this updated MLSI to two sets of Hα and Ca ii line spectral data taken by the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) from a quiet region and an active region, respectively. We nd that the new version of the MLSI satisfactorily ts most of the observed line proles of various features, including a network feature, an internetwork feature, a mottle feature in a quiet region, and a plage feature, a superpenumbral bril, an umbral feature, and a fast down ow feature in an active region. The MLSI can also yield physically reasonable estimates of hydrogen temperature and nonthermal speed as well as Doppler velocities at different atmospheric levels. We conclude that the MLSI is a very useful tool to analyze the Hα line and the Ca ii 8542 line spectral daya, and will promote the investigation of physical processes occurring in the solar photosphere and chromosphere.

A theoretical model has been studied to describe the sound radiation analysis for structure vibration noise of tire under the action of random moving line forces. When a tire is analyzed, it had been modeled as curved beams with distributed springs and dashpots that represent the radial, tangential stiffness and damping of tire, respectively. The reaction due to fluid loading on the vibratory response of the curved beam is taken into account. The curved beam is assumed to occupy the plane y=0 and to be axially infinite. The curved beam material and elastic foundation are assumed to be lossless Bernoulli-Euler beam theory including a tension force(T), damping coefficient (C) and stiffness of foundation(κ2) will be employed. The expression for sound power is integrated numerically and the results examined as a function of Mach number(M), wave-number ratio(γ) and stiffness factor(ψ). The experimental investigation for structure vibration noise of vehicle tire under the action of random moving line forces has been made. Based on the STSF(Spatial Transformation of Sound Field) techniques, the sound power and sound radiation are measured. Results strongly suggest that operation condition in the tire material properties and design factors of the tire govern the sound power and sound radiation characteristics.

In this study, the performance was checked and the optimal conditions were found by machining the inner surface of a round pipe using the magnetic abrasive finishing method. In this experiment, an AL 6063 pipe was used as a sample. To check the performance of magnetic abrasive finising, the machining effect of different abrasive particle mixing ratio, rotation speed, and magnetic pole arrangement was analyzed through surface roughness (Ra) and weight removal measurement. The optimum mixing ratio was 3:1 of electrolytic iron to magnetic abrasive particles, the rotational speed was 1600rpm, and the best surface roughness was obtained in the N-S-N arrangement of magnetic poles.

Spirodelae Herba (SH) and Perilla Frutescens (PF) extracts have been widely used in clinical practice with various disorders for thousands of years. There are some reports regarding the anticancer effects of SH and PF each by each, but their mixture have not been investigated and their mechanisms also have not been clear. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anticancer mechanisms and their effects of the mixture of SH and PF extracts on head and neck cancer cell line. Head and neck carcinoma KB cells were treated with SH, PF and their mixture. Anticancer effects were investigated by searching cancer cell death pathway; apoptosis and autophagy, which have been regarded to be effective and safe methods. Apoptosis, which is termed a programmed cell death, was observed by TUNNEL assay. Autophagy, which is termed a type II programmed cell death, was observed by acridine orange red staining. Additionally, the protein expressions associated with apoptosis and autophagy were detected for their mechanism by western blots. The mixture of SH and PF extracts induced autophagic and apoptotic cell death simultaneously in cancer cells. And 0.4 mg/ml of the mixture with SH and PF extracts down-regulated the expression of mTOR, however, the expressions of ATG5 and LC3-II, which induced autophagy, up-regulated. The mixture of SH and PF extracts also down-regulated the expressions of Bcl-2, but up-regulate the expressions of PARP-1 cleavage, Caspase-9 cleavage, Caspase-3 cleavage and BAX, which induced apoptosis. Taken together, these results suggested that the mixture of SH and PF extracts induce autophagic and apoptotic cell death simultaneously in head and neck cancer cells and it could be used as an alternative for anti-cancer drugs.

Observations of line of sight (LOS) Doppler velocity and non-thermal line width in the o-limb solar corona are often used for investigating the Alfven wave signatures in the corona. In this study, we compare LOS Doppler velocities and non-thermal line widths obtained simultaneously from two dierent instruments, Coronal Multichannel Polarimeter (CoMP) and Hinode/EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS), on various o-limb coronal regions: aring and quiescent active regions, equatorial quiet region, and polar prominence and plume regions observed in 2012{2014. CoMP provides the polarization at the Fe xiii 10747 A coronal forbidden lines which allows their spectral line intensity, LOS Doppler velocity, and line width to be measured with a low spectral resolution of 1.2 A in 2-D o limb corona between 1.05 and 1.40 RSun, while Hinode/EIS gives us the EUV spectral information with a high spectral resolution (0.025 A) in a limited eld of view raster scan. In order to compare them, we make pseudo raster scan CoMP maps using information of each EIS scan slit time and position. We compare the CoMP and EIS spectroscopic maps by visual inspection, and examine their pixel to pixel correlations and percentages of pixel numbers satisfying the condition that the dierences between CoMP and EIS spectroscopic quantities are within the EIS measurement accuracy: 3 kms􀀀1 for LOS Doppler velocity and 9 kms􀀀1 for non-thermal width. The main results are summarized as follows. By comparing CoMP and EIS Doppler velocity distributions, we nd that they are consistent with each other overall in the active regions and equatorial quiet region (0.25  CC  0.7), while they are partially similar to each other in the overlying loops of prominences and near the bottom of the polar plume (0.02  CC  0.18). CoMP Doppler velocities are consistent with the EIS ones within the EIS measurement accuracy in most regions ( 87% of pixels) except for the polar region (45% of pixels). We nd that CoMP and EIS non-thermal width distributions are similar overall in the active regions (0.06  CC  0.61), while they seem to be dierent in the others (􀀀0:1  CC  0.00). CoMP non-thermal widths are similar to EIS ones within the EIS measurement accuracy in a quiescent active region (79% of pixels), while they do not match in the other regions ( 61% of pixels); the CoMP observations tend to underestimate the widths by about 20% to 40% compared to the EIS ones. Our results demonstrate that CoMP observations can provide reliable 2-D LOS Doppler velocity distributions on active regions and might provide their non-thermal width distributions.

비무장지대는 한반도 동-서 248km를 횡단하는 군사분계선을 기준으로 남, 북 각각 2㎞씩 무장이 금지된 지역이다. 그 중 남쪽으로 2㎞ 떨어진 경계를 남방한계선이라고 한다. 비무장지대는 정전협정 이후 자연천이과정을 거치며 독특한 생태계를 형성한 지역으로 보전가치가 높다. 그러나 남방한계선 철책주변과 일부 지역은 군작전수행을 위한 각종 시설이용과 제초작업으로 인한 훼손이 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 훼손된 불모지 식생복원을 위한 기초자료 마련을 목적으로 시행되었다. 불모지 식생구조 파악을 위해 지표종을 중심으로 식생군락을 분류한 결과 뱀딸기군락, 비비추군락, 기린초-돌나물군락, 가락지 나물군락, 양지꽃군락, 꿀풀군락, 구절초-그늘사초군락, 산구절초군락, 질경이-토끼풀군락, 좀씀바귀-매듭풀군락 등 10개 군락으로 구분되었다. 남방한계선 내 불모지는 군사적 활동으로 인한 토양침식, 지형변화, 산불 등 인위적인 교란이 지속적으로 발생하기 때문에 교란된 환경에 대한 적응성이 높은 종을 중심으로 식생이 발달하는 특성을 나타냈다. 분류된 군락 내 우점종은 대부분 우리나라 전국에 분포하는 종으로 길 또는 길가, 나지, 훼손지, 초지 등 주변에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 식물로 구성되어 있다. 현재 비무장지대 불모지 식생은 나지에서 초본식생으로 발달하는 천이 초기의 형태를 보인다. 불모지 내 분포하는 우점종은 특별한 유지·관리 없이도 자생할 수 있으므로 향후 복원소재 개발에 활용하거나 복원 종 선정 등에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Salivary gland adenocarcinoma(AdCa NOS) is one of the major causes of mortality among malignant salivary gland tumors. New therapeutic measure are needed to improve the outcome for patients with AdCa NOS because current therapy does not significantly improve survival rates. Transglutaminase 2(TGase 2) was implicated in forming cross-linked protein polymer, apoptosis and matrix interaction. And also TGase 2 expression is up-regulated in proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells. shRNA which has emerged as an effective method to target specific genes for silencing has provided new opportunities for cancer therapy. But there has been rarely reported using shRNA-TGase 2 transfection in AdCa NOS. The purpose of this study were to examine the specific inhibition of TGase 2 mRNA and protein expression by siRNA transfection of TGase 2 through RT-PCR and immunoslot blotting, and to study proliferation, migration and invasion assay of SGT cell line from AdCa NOS. Cell cycle analysis showed that the downregulation of shRNA-TGase 2 caused the accumulation of cells in the sub-G0/G1 phase. In migration assay, suppressing shRNA-TGase 2 inhibited the capacity of the cells to migrate compared to parental cells. In invasion assay, cells transfected with shRNA-TGase 2 decreased in invasion when compared to SGT and vector transfected cells. shRNA-TGase 2 expressing plasmids efficiently downregulated TGase 2 mRNA and TGase 2 protein expression. It suggested that the shRNA-TGase 2 targeting system against TGase 2 could have a therapeutic potentiality for malignant salivary gland tumors, especially in inhibiting and/or preventing cancer cell proliferation, migration and invasion.

Thermal external cracks can be initiated at the parting line, which is the dividing line that splits the core and cavity halves of a molded exhaust manifold-turbine housing. The fatigue cracks are often resulted from hot-cold cycle loads called by thermal shock cycles, and are accompanied by large plastic strains. This paper investigated the effects of parting lines of the integrated exhaust manifold-turbine housing and compared the magnitude of plastic strains directly correlated to low cycle fatigue damages or cracks. The finite element results showed that the plastic strains at runner junctions including parting line was calculated by 0.68%, which is approximately 60% higher than that of the turbine housing considering no parting line. So, if the analysis target is less than 0.50 % of plastic strain amplitude, the fatigue damages or cracks could be expected by considering the parting lines in integrated exhaust manifold-turbocharger.
