Caprylic/Capric triglyceride-in-water emulsions stabilized by Nikkol HCO-60 and HCO-10 were prepared using emulsion inversion point method at different HLB values. Emulsions with various droplet sizes were formed, and emulsion inversion point was detected by electrical conductivity. The change in emulsion droplet sizes and long term stability were monitored using laser scattering method and visual method. The droplet sizes and stability of emulsions were affected by HLB of surfactant. At emulsion inversion point, the water volume fraction increased as the HLB of surfactants decreased. According to our analysis, this resulted from a tendency of forming the W/O (water-in-oil) emulsion as the HLB of surfactants was decreased. The emulsion inversion point was clearly detected by the microscope and the electric conductivity meter. Nanometer-sized emulsion was obtained at the optimum HLB by using emulsion inversion point method. The main pattern of instability of emulsions in HLB 12 and 13 systems was Ostwald ripening. However, The patterns of instability of emulsions below 11 of HLB systems were Ostwald ripening and coalescence. All emulsions produced with surfactants in the range of HLB 8-13, creaming caused by density difference between water phase and oil phase.

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of wa-song (Orostachys japonicus A. Berger) extracts on the oxidative stability of edible oil. Wa-song was dried from hot air (HWE) and freeze (FWE), and then they were extracted by hot water. The different levels (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 mL) of HWE and FWE were added to soybean oil and lard. The chromaticity of edible oils was generally increased with prolonged heating time and HWE was higher than FWE. The anisidine value showed significant increase during heating for 48 hrs. After heating for 48 hrs, it was lower than control, except for HWE added sample of 0.5 and 1.0 g/100 mL, FWE added sample of 1.0 g/ 100 mL. In lard, it was lower in sample added wa-song extract than control. The acid value was not significant by added amount of wa-song. Its value in HWE added sample was lower than FWE, after heating for 48 hrs. POV was lower HWE than FWE, also. After heating for 24 hrs, TBA values in soybean oil containing HWE and FWE added sample was lower than control. In lard, its value in HWE and FWE added sample was lower than control during heating for 12~48 hrs. Therefore, those results suggested that HWE has higher antioxidant activity than FWE added sample, and then oxidative stability of HWE in edible oil was more potential for lard during its heating.

The thermal stability and mechanical properties of Nephila clavata and Bassaniana decorata spider silks were measured and compared with those of aramid and polyester fibers. The thermal stability of the spider silk was lower than those of the commercial aramid and polyester fibers. However, the mechanical properties of the spider silk were far superior to that of the polyester fiber. The effect of the water content of the spider silk on its thermal stability and mechanical property was examined by conducting the silk to heat treatment at 100℃ under vacuum for various times. The results indicated that spider silk subjected to heat treatment for 1.5 hr had excellent thermal stability and mechanical property.

본 연구는 마샬 시험기를 이용하여 아스팔트 혼합물의 균열저항성을 평가할 수 있는 보다 간편하고 합리적인 측정시스템을 개발하는데 목적이 있다. 균열저항성 평가를 위한 파라메타로서 파괴에너지를 이용하였다. 마샬 시험기는 기본적으로 공시체 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용하여 수직변형률을 측정하는 시스템이며, 이 같은 외부 수직변형률 측정방식은 하중 스트랩 부분에서 발생하는 국부적인 변형으로 인해 측정오차를 야기할 가능성이 있다. 따라서 추가적인 계측 시스템을 설치하지 않고 기본적인 마샬 시험기를 이용하여 혼합물의 파괴에너지를 측정하기 위해서는 공시체 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용한 수직변형률 측정값이 파괴에너지 산정에 적용가능한지 여부를 검증하여야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 공시체 중앙부분에서의 수평변형률과 외부에 거치한 LVDT를 이용한 수직변형률을 측정하는 두 가지 방식의 간접인장강도실험을 수행하여 그 차이를 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 외부 수직변형률 측정의 문제점으로 지적되었던 하중 스트랩 부분에서 발생하는 국부적인 변형은 파괴시점 이전에는 극히 적은 것으로 나타나 파괴에너지 계산에 오차를 유발하지 않음을 보여주었다. 또한 외부 수직변형률 측정의 실험변동성을 확인한 결과, 변동계수가 15% 이하로 마샬시험기를 이용한 균열저항성 평가시스템에 이용 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

Calcia (CaO) stabilized cubic-HfO2 is studied by density functional theory (DFT) with generalized gradient approximation (GGA). When a Ca atom is substituted for a Hf atom, an oxygen vacancy is produced to satisfy the charge neutrality. The lattice parameter of a 2×2×2 cubic HfO2 supercell then increases by 0.02 Å. The oxygen atoms closest to the oxygen vacancy are attracted to the vacancy as the vacancy is positive compared to the oxygen ion. When the oxygen vacancy is located at the site closest to the Ca atom, the total energy of HfO2 reaches its minimum. The energy barriers for the migration of the oxygen vacancy were calculated. The energy barriers between the first and the second nearest sites, the second and the third nearest sites, and the third and fourth nearest sites are 0.2, 0.5, and 0.24 eV, respectively. The oxygen vacancies at the third and fourth nearest sites relative to the Ca atom represent the oxygen vacancies in undoped HfO2. Therefore, the energy barrier for oxygen migration in the HfO2 gate dielectric is 0.24 eV, which can explain the origin of gate dielectric leakage.

to malignant transformation. Oral leukoplakia is a common premalignant lesion in oral mucosa and the incidence of cancer progression into SCC has been reported to be 0~43%. The genetic alterations of oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes and DNA repair genes occur during carcinogenesis. In order to evaluate the role of epithelial cells in the early stage of carcinogenesis, we analyzed the alterations of genetic heterogeneity in epithelial cells of oral leukoplakia samples, using Laser capture microdissection(LCM). The incidence rate of microsatellite instability(MSI) and loss of heterozygosity(LOH) were analysed from the DNA of epithelial cells from 16 leukoplakia samples using adjacent fibroblasts as a normal control. In this study, LOH was found in epithelial cells of all 16 cases of leukoplakias while MSI has been observed in 3 cases. Interestingly, the fibroblasts showed LOH and MSI in some cases, which was confirmed by DNA sequencing. Taken together, this study showed that leukoplakia has multiple genetic alterations in fibroblasts as well as in epithelial cells, suggesting that interaction between epithelial cells and fibroblasts might be involved in the early step of carcinogenesis.

In manufacturing industry, cutting parameters have an influence on reducing the production cost and time and deciding the quality of a final product However, owing to governmental regulations and the change of owner's cognizance, the machining safety becomes important in those fields relatively. The paper presents an intelligent operation planning system considering machining safety for milling operations. The main issue of the system is to determine the cutting parameters in achieving a balanced consideration of productivity and worker's safety. The detailed algorithm and functions of the developed system is introduced and then discussed.
