Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) is being considered as a technology to replace the conventional manufacturing process of titanium alloys. However, coarse β grains, which can extend through several deposited materials, result in strong textures and anisotropy. As a solution, we study the plastic deformation effects of ultrasonic needle peening (UNP) on the microstructure. UNP treated materials deform plastically and the dislocation density increases. Fine α+α' grains with low aspect ratio are observed in the UNP treated specimens. UNP treated WAAM Ti-6Al-4V alloys have higher strength and lower elongation than those characteristics of WAAM Ti-6Al-4V alloys. Due to UNP treatment, the z-axis directional specimens exhibit a greater effect of reducing elongation than do the x-axis directional specimens. The UNP treatment produces fine grains in proportion to the number of times UNP is performed, thereby increasing strength. UNP processes produce a large number of dislocations in the WAAM Ti-6Al-4V alloys, with the most dislocations being formed at the surface.

본 연구는 정수압 처리와 초음파 처리가 20일 숙성기간 동안 돈육의 삼겹살과 목살 부위의 품질특성에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 다양한 품질특성을 관찰한 결과 정수압에서 숙성하고 초음파 처리한 돈육은 부위별로 효과의 차이는 있지만, 품질향상에 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 또한, 초음파 처리했을 때 특히 고기의 연도와 관계가 있는 pH, 보수력, 경도 품질을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서 이용한 저온 정수압 숙성 및 초음파 처리공정은 낮은 온도에서 돈육을 빠른 시간안에 숙성하는데 적용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The primary purpose of this paper is to know which formulation of FET standard among the diverse drafting approaches best serves the interests of both States and investors. In this respect, the paper first will have a review of general categorization of FET in a number of IIAs. Subsequently, it will focus on the two most controversial formulations of FET: (1) as a standalone clause and (2) with reference to the minimum standard of treatment under customary international law. In light of this, it will discuss the impact of the various FET drafts on the decisions of arbitral tribunals dealing with this standard. Lastly, the paper will also explore the most recent approaches to the formulation of FET to see if they are capable of brining clarity in the overall discussion of FET’s formulation as well as interpretation. In short, these recent constructions of FET clauses may best serve these interests as they bring clarity.

In this study, AlSi10Mg powders with average diameters of 44 μm are additively manufactured into bulk samples using a selective laser melting (SLM) process. Post-heat treatment to reduce residual stress in the as-synthesized sample is performed at different temperatures. From the results of a tensile test, as the heat-treatment temperature increases from 270 to 320oC, strength decreases while elongation significantly increases up to 13% at 320oC. The microstructures and tensile properties of the two heat-treated samples at 290 and 320oC, respectively, are characterized and compared to those of the as-synthesized samples. Interestingly, the Si-rich phases that network in the as-synthesized state are discontinuously separated, and the size of the particle-shaped Si phases becomes large and spherical as the heat-treatment temperature increases. Due to these morphological changes of Si-rich phases, the reduction in tensile strengths and increase in elongations, respectively, can be obtained by the post-heat treatment process. These results provide fundamental information for the practical applications of AlSi10Mg parts fabricated by SLM.

본 연구는 갯방풍의 생장 및 생리활성화합물 함량에 대한 NaCl 농도 및 처리 시기의 효과를 조사하기 위해 수행되었다. 첫 번째 실험에서 갯방풍 묘는 온실에서 호글랜드(EC 1.5dS·m -1 , pH 6.5) 배양액에 NaCl 40, 80, 120, 160, 200mM 을 첨가하여 담액식 수경재배 시스템에 정식 후 30일 동안 재배되었다. 두 번째 실험에서 갯방풍은 수확 10일 전, 5일 전에 양액에 NaCl 50, 100, 150, 200mM을 첨가하여 담액식 수경 재배 시스템에서 50일 동안 재배되었다. 두 실험 모두 NaCl 처리를 하지 않은 것을 대조군으로 사용했다. 식물 생장과 광합성 특성, 총 페놀함량, 총 플라보노이드 함량, 항산화 활성이 조사되었다. NaCl 농도가 80mM 이상일 때 갯방풍의 생육이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 두 번째 실험에서 엽수, 엽면적, 지상부와 지하부 건물중 같은 생육 특성은 수확 10일 전 50mM NaCl에서 유의적으로 우수했다. 광합성률은 대조구와 50mM NaCl 처리에서 가장 높게 나타났으며, 처리 시기와 관계없이 NaCl 농도가 100mM 이상일 때 유의적으로 감소하였다. 또한, 100mM 이상의 NaCl 농도에서 잎의 가시적 피해가 관찰되었다. 총 페놀함량 및 플라보노이드 함량은 수확 5일 전 200mM 처리에서 가장 높았다. 그러나, 항산화 활성은 대조구와 수확 10일 전 50mM 처리에서 가장 높았다. 결론적으로, 수경재배 시 양액에 수확 10일 전 50mM의 NaCl을 처리하는 것이 고품질 갯방풍 생산에 효과적이었다.

Powder quality, including high flowability and spherical shape, determines the properties of additively manufactured products. Therefore, the cheap production of high-quality powders is critical in additive manufacturing. Radio frequency plasma treatment is an effective method to fabricate spherical powders by melting the surface of irregularly shaped powders; in the present work, mechanically milled Zr powders are spheroidized by radio frequency plasma treatment and their properties are compared with those of commercial Zircaloy-2 alloy powder. Spherical Zr particles are successfully fabricated by plasma treatment, although their flowability and impurity contents are poorer than those of the commercial Zircaloy-2 alloy powder. This result shows that radio-frequency plasma treatment with mechanically milled powders requires further research and development for manufacturing low-cost powders for additive manufacturing.

Worldwide, oral cancer accounts for 2%–4% of all cancer cases. It is estimated that more of 90% of all oral neoplasms are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). The aims of this study were to evaluate follow-up outcomes in patients with OSCC invading the mandibular body bone who underwent primary radical resection and reconstructive surgery by fibular free flap or CAD-CAM T-mesh with pathological study on two cases. In this article, two cases of mandibular reconstruction in patients with OSCC invading the mandibular body bone are reported. A 68-year-old male patient visited the authors’ clinic with pain on the left mandibular region. After wide excision and segmental mandibulectomy on the mandibular OSCC, a enterocutaneous fibular free flap from right leg was used to cover the intraoral mucosal defect. The other 51-year-old female patient visited the authors’ clinic with pain on the right mandibular region. After wide excision and segmental mandibulectomy on the mandibular OSCC, reconstruction was done with a reconstruction plate and a fibula free flap from right leg. Unfortunately, fibular free flap was lost due to infection of the flap at post-operative 1month, secondary reconstruction using a custom-made type T-mesh and iliac PCBM was done to repair on the mandibular defect after four years postoperatively. The customized CAD-CAM T-mesh was made prior to the operation according to mirror image of remained jaw. Patients with OSCC invading the mandibular body bone are required an accurate segmental mandibulectomy immediate reconstructive surgery with various methods and followed by adjuvant radiation with or without chemotherapy in order to improve the quality of life through the restoration of the oral function and esthetics after surgery. Postoperative CCRT was determined according to the final pathologic findings such as lymph node metastasis and main lesion free margin safety, and this has an essential relationship in the prognosis of postoperative recurrence. We reviewed reliable treatment options on two patients of OSCC in mandible with pathologic findings.Worldwide, oral cancer accounts for 2%–4% of all cancer cases.

본 연구는 케일(Brassica oleracea L. var. acephala)의 노지 재배 시, 생육 초기에 노출될 수 있는 건조 스트레스 조건에서 Glutamate (Glu)의 스트레스 경감 및 생육 회복 효과를 구명하기 위해 실시하였다. 건조 조건(D)에 노출된 케일에 5㎛ Glu 용액을 경엽처리하였다(D+Glu). Glu 처리 전 및 처리 후 4, 8일 차(0, 4, 8DAT)의 생육과 엽록소 함량을 측정하고 식물 체내의 ABA와 Glu, Pro의 함량을 분석하여 정상 환경 및 D, D+Glu 처리구 간의 비교를 실시하였다. 엽록소 함량의 경우, 8DAT에서 D+Glu 처리구는 일정한 수준을 유지한 반면에, D처리구는 14% 감소하였다. 엽면적으로 대표되는 생장 또한 D+Glu 처리구가 D 처리구에 비해 높게 나타났다. 또한 4, 8일차의 ABA 함량이 D 처리구에서 D+Glu 처리구에 비해 44.13, 49.18% 높게 나타났으며, 체내 아미노산 대사 및 건조저항성 지표인 Glu, Pro 함량은 D 처리구에 비해 D+Glu 처리구에서 보다 높은 수준을 유지하였다. 이러한 결과를 통해, Glu 처리에 의해 건조 스트레스가 경감되고 생육이 회복될 수 있다고 판단된다.
