This study used optical and scanning electron microscopy to analyze the surface oxidation phenomenon that accompanies a γ'-precipitate free zone in a directional solidified CM247LC high temperature creep specimen. Surface oxidation occurs on nickel-based superalloy gas turbine blades due to high temperature during use. Among the superalloy components, Al and Cr are greatly affected by diffusion and movement, and Al is a major component of the surface oxidation products. This out-diffusion of Al was accompanied by γ' (Ni3Al) deficiency in the matrix, and formed a γ'-precipitate free zone at the boundary of the surface oxide layer. Among the components of CM247LC, Cr and Al related to surface oxidation consist of 8 % and 5.6 %, respectively. When Al, the main component of the γ' precipitation phase, diffused out to the surface, a high content of Cr was observed in these PFZs. This is because the PFZ is made of a high Cr γ phase. Surface oxidation of DS CM247LC was observed in high temperature creep specimens, and γ'-rafting occurred due to stress applied to the creep specimens. However, the stress states applied to the grip and gauge length of the creep specimen were different, and accordingly, different γ'-rafting patterns were observed. Such surface oxidation and PFZ and γ'-rafting are shown to affect CM247LC creep lifetime. Mapping the microstructure and composition of major components such as Al and Cr and their role in surface oxidation, revealed in this study, will be utilized in the development of alloys to improve creep life.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the body type characteristics of tall adult men aged 20 to 69 years to present base material on body dimensions for men’s clothing companies. The research method comprised statistical analysis of 3D measurements after selecting items from the 8th Korean human body size survey related to the torso body types of 495 adult men who were at least 178cm tall. As a result, six factors were extracted, and the total explanatory variable of the entire factor was shown to be 80.499%. As a result of cluster analysis using this as an independent variable, three types were derived: Type 1, “a normal body type with an oval cross-sectional shape” (37.6%), with a larger vertical size and an oval chest cross-sectional shape compared to other types; Type 2: a “cylindrical thick body shape” (31.1%), which is the first stage of BMI obesity, with narrow shoulders and a cylindrical shape with a round cross-section; Type 3, “a body shape with broad shoulders and developed chest parts” (31.3%), with a horizontal size similar to Type 2 above the waist, but similar to Type 1 below. The results of this study are expected to be used as a basis for a clothing dimension system and clothing development for tall men reflecting the characteristics of the torso.

본 연구는 발효 전후 황백 시료의 항산화 활성, 피부기능 개선 효과 및 항균 활성을 연구하고 그 효능을 평가하여 발효 황백의 피부기능 개선 효능에 대한 자료를 제공하고자 하였다. 항산화 활성을 평가하기 위해 총 플라보노이드, 총 페놀 함량, FRAP, DPPH 라디칼 소거능, reducing power, 아질산염소거능 등을 측정하였고, 피부 기능 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 LPS를 처리한 RAW 264.7 대식세포와 TRF-α/IFN-γ를 처리한 HaCaT 피부표피 세포를 바탕으로 XTT 세포독성평가, NO 생성 억제능 평가, ELISA kit를 이용한 염증성 cytokine의 생성량을 평가 하여 항염증 활성을 평가하였다. 항산화 활성의 측정 결과 발효 전 황백 시료에서는 현저히 낮은 결과를 보였으 나, 발효과정을 거치며 항산화 활성이 증가하는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. XTT 세포독성 평가 결과, RAW 264.7 세포와 HaCaT 세포 모두 3.13, 6.25, 12.5 μg/mL의 농도에서 독성이 없음을 확인하였다. NO 생성 억제능 평가와 ELISA kit를 이용한 실험 결과 황백 시료가 발효됨에 따 라 염증반응 매개물질인 NO의 생성량이 감소하고 IL-6와 IL-1β의 발현이 현저하게 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 발효 전후 황백 추출물의 berberine 및 palmatine의 함량을 분석한 결과 palmatine은 검출되지 않았으며 berberine의 함량은 발효에 따라 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.

일반적인 3-전극 시스템의 순환전압전류법을 사용하여 유기부식억제제인 트리에탄올아민 (TEA)을 첨가하여 SCM440 강에 대한 전류-전압 곡선을 측정하였다. 그 결과 SCM440 강의 C-V특성 은 순환전압전류법으로부터 산화전류에 기인한 비가역 공정으로 나타났다. 확산계수는 부식억제제 TEA 의 농도를 2.5 x 10-4 M에서 5,0 x 10-4 M로 2배로 증가시킴에 따라 확산계수는 각각 2.561 x 10-6 cm2s-1에서 1.707 x 10-6 cm2s-1로 1.5배로 감소하므로 부식억제효과가 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 전 해질 농도변화에 따르는 효과는 전해질 농도를 0.5 N에서 1.0 N로 증가시키면, 확산계수는 각각 5.12 x 10-6 cm2s-1에서 2.56 x 10-6 cm2s-1로 2배로 감소하므로 1.0 N의 전해질의 사용이 적합하였다.

A novel method to characterize the topology of the early-universe intergalactic medium during the epoch of cosmic reionization is presented. The 21-cm radiation background from high redshift is analyzed through calculation of the 2-dimensional (2D) genus. The radiative transfer of hydrogen- ionizing photons and ionization-rate equations are calculated in a suite of numerical simulations under various input parameters. The 2D genus is calculated from the mock 21-cm images of high-redshift universe. We construct the 2D genus curve by varying the threshold differential brightness temperature, and compare this to the 2D genus curve of the underlying density field. We find that (1) the 2D genus curve reflects the evolutionary track of cosmic reionization and (2) the 2D genus curve can discriminate between certain reionization scenarios and thus indirectly probe the properties of radiation-sources. Choosing the right beam shape of a radio antenna is found crucial for this analysis. Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is found to be a suitable apparatus for this analysis in terms of sensitivity, even though some deterioration of the data for this purpose is unavoidable under the planned size of the antenna core.
