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.

This study has related to lightweight automobiles due to global warming with the reduction of fossil fuel reserves are rapidly progressing around the automobile industry. This study has revealed the relationship for the mechanical properties via the analyzed microstructure, precipitated phase variation of the wheel hub of a commercial vehicle manufactured using molten forging technology using A356 and A357 alloys, which are high-strength Al-Si-Mg base cast aluminum alloys. Differential scanning calorimetry has performed to analyze the precipitation amount of each alloy that influences the mechanical properties of aluminum alloy. The XRD analysis has measured for the microstructure's crystal phase on A356 and A357 alloys. In this paper has evaluated to compare the properties of the A356 alloy and the A357 alloy for the mechanical properties. The A356 alloy has confirmed that a microstructure is finer than A357 alloy, and a quantity of precipitated material is more than A357 alloy. Therefore, this study confirmed that the A356 alloy has better mechanical properties than the A357 alloy.

본 연구는 USCG phase-II의 형식승인 기준인 자연상태 생물군집의 75 % 이상 유지하여야 하는 평가체계에 대비하여 자연생물군집 농축 및 선박평형수관리시스템(Ballast Water Management System, BWMS) 처리 전 후 생물사멸시험을 실시하였다. 자연 식물플랑크톤군집의 농축 조사는 중영양수계인 장목만과 부영양화수계의 마산만에서 동계에 수행하였다. 장목만과 마산만에서 1톤 기준으로 생물을 농축하였을 경우, 10-50 μm 크기 생물 현존량은 4.7 × 10⁴ cells mL-1과 0.8 × 10⁴ cells mL-1 이었고, 농축생물의 생존율은 90.4 %와 88.0 %로 각각 나타났다. 특히 장목만에서는 Skeletonema costatum-like species 같은 체인을 형성하는 소형 규조류가 극우점한 반면, 마산만에서는 <10 μm보다 작은 편모조류 및 체인을 형성하지 않는 대형 와편모조류(Akashiwo sanguinea, Heterocapsa triquetra)가 우점하였다. 이와 같은 우점종 세포크기의 차이로 장목만 농축효율이 마산만보다 높게 나타났다. BWMS 장비를 통과한 처리 당일 생물 사멸률은 장목만이 90.4 %로, 마산만의 93 %보다 약간 낮았고, 장목만에서 BWMS 처리 5일 경과 후, 대조군의 대상생물의 사멸률은 6.7 %로 나타났다. 처리군에서는 >99 %로 대부분 사멸되어, 시험생물로서의 적용 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 동계와 같이 해역내 생물량이 낮을 경우, 주간 8시간 수행한 네트의 생물농축만으로는 USCG Phase II의 형식승인 기준인 500톤 탱크에 1.0 × 10³ cells mL-1 이상으로 자연생물 개체수 밀도를 충족하기는 쉽지 않다는 것을 파악하였고, 이를 보완하기 위해서는 일정기간 자연생물을 대량 배양 및 채집할 수 있는 시스템 도입이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Eugenol is an essential oil found in cloves and cinnamon that is used widely in perfumes. However, the significant anesthetic and sedative effects of this compound have led to its use also in dental procedures. Recently, it was reported that eugenol induces apoptosis in several cancer cell types but the mechanism underlying this effect has remained unknown. In our current study, we examined whether the cytotoxic effects of eugenol upon human melanoma G361 cells are associated with cell cycle arrest and apoptosis using a range of methods including an XTT assay, Hoechst staining, immunocytochemistry, western blotting and flow cytometry. Eugenol treatment was found to decrease the viability of the G361 cells in both a time- and dose-dependent manner. The induction of apoptosis in eugenol-treated G361 cells was confirmed by the appearance of nuclear condensation, the release of both cytochrome c and AIF into the cytosol, the cleavage of PARP and DFF45, and the downregulation of procaspase-3 and -9. With regard to cell cycle arrest, a time-dependent decrease in cyclin A, cyclin D3, cyclin E, cdk2, cdk4, and cdc2 expression was observed in the cells after eugenol treatment. Flow cytometry using a FACScan further demonstrated that eugenol induces a cell cycle arrest at S phase. Our results thus suggest that the inhibition of G361 cell proliferation by eugenol is the result of an apoptotic response and an S phase arrest that is linked to the decreased expression of key cell cycle-related molecules.

Gustave Courbet was a French painter who led the Realist movement in 19th-century French painting. Since After dinner at Ornans in 1849 Courbet’ s subject had been drawn from the actual life or the living human experience, because he believed that art should reflect the realities in actual life. To represent the hero of today, Courbet used “colossal” dimension required of history painting which the Paris Salon esteemed as painter’s highest calling but rejected as unsuitable for a genre painting. And he employed a larger than life-size which is appropriate for a culture hero. He wanted to give everyday subjects the effect of a monumental history painting. This was to be a transgression of the academic principle. In 1855, Courbet submitted fourteen paintings for exhibition at the Universal Exposition. His monumental paintings, The Artist’s Studio and The Burial at Ornans which are his major works of Realism are not admitted to the Universal Exposition. So he decided to organize his own show called The Pavilion of Realism which was a temporary structure that he erected opposite to the Exposition Universe of 1855. In short, he challenged the rigid categories of the Academy not only in a series of his paintings but also in his actual life. The artist disregarded authority and convention of the academy. However, the trace of the academic tradition remains still in Courbet's painting. This means he was not immune from the Salon’s view. In this paper I examine the relation between Courbet and the Paris Salon, focusing on the composition and rhetoric of The Artist’s Studio . As I demonstrate, the composition of the picture relates to the academic history painting’s central composition, especially The Sabine Women of Jacques-Louis David. The Artist's Studio was called allegory by Courbet. Allegory is the principle rhetoric of the academic history painting. In 19th-century salon’s paintings, the purpose of allegory was the personification of an abstract concept. He was interested in the allegory as an indirect or veiled mode of expression rather than the allegorical personifications. He created his own realism simultaneously using the tradition and the difference. In The Artist’s Studio, Courbet's massed figures The Contradiction of Gustave Courbet: on The Painter’s Studio, A Real Allegory Summing up a Seven-Year Phase (1855) Lee, Jaeeun(Sungshin Women's University, Lecturer) locate theirs place in the academic composition and are to be the allegorical personification. The kind of contradiction was due to the Salon’s gaze that controled the mainstream art of 19th-century Paris.

The trace element nutrient selenium discharges its well-known nutritional anti-tumor activity. Converging data from epidemiological, ecological and clinical studies have shown that selenium can decrease the risk for some types of human cancers, especially those of the prostate, lung, and colon. Mechanistic studies have indicated that selenium has many desirable attributes of chemoprevention targeting cancer cells through DNA single strand breaks, the induction of reactive oxygen species. However, there is no reports about the relationship between methylseleninic acid (MSeA), one of methylselenol metabolites and cell cycle arrest in LNCaP human prostate cancer cells. Our data showed that MSeA arrested G1/S pahse of cell cycle arrest and inhibited DNA synthesis in LNCaP cells and those cellular events by MSeA were due to the induction of p27 protein which is a well-known cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. Taken together, cell cycle arrest occurred by MSeA may contribute to the growth-inhibition of prostate cancer cells.

C-S-H phase is one of the main hydrates in hardened cement paste and binds chloride ions. The purpose of this study is to quantify equilibrium amount of chloride adsorption bound by C-S-H phase with various Ca/Si ratios. C-S-H phase can absorb chloride ions with 3 steps. In the C-S-H phase with low Ca/Si ratios, momentary physical adsorption could not be expected. Physical adsorption is strongly dependent on electro-kinetic interaction between surface area of C-S-H phase and chloride ions. In previous research, C-S-H phase showed binding behavior with 3 stages including the stage of instantaneous physical adsorption other stages. Thus, this study examined the equilibrium amount to express chloride binding isotherm of C-S-H with various Ca/Si ratio.

One of main benefits of a dual polarization radar is improvement of quantitative rainfall estimation. In this paper, performance of two representative rainfall estimation methods for a dual polarization radar, JPOLE and CSU algorithms, have been compared by using data from a MOLIT S-band dual polarization radar. In addition, this paper presents evaluation of specific differential phase (Kdp) retrieval algorithm proposed by Lim et al. (2013). Current Kdp retrieval methods are based on range filtering technique or regression analysis. However, these methods can result in underestimating peak Kdp or negative values in convective regions, and fluctuated Kdp in low rain rate regions. To resolve these problems, this study applied the Kdp distribution method suggested by Lim et al. (2013) and evaluated by adopting new Kdp to JPOLE and CSU algorithms. Data were obtained from the Mt. Biseul radar of MOLIT for two rainfall events in 2012. Results of evaluation showed improvement of the peak Kdp and did not show fluctuation and negative Kdp values. Also, in heavy rain (daily rainfall > 80 mm), accumulated daily rainfall using new Kdp was closer to AWS observation data than that using legacy Kdp, but in light rain(daily rainfall < 80 mm), improvement was insignificant, because Kdp is used mostly in case of heavy rain rate of quantitative rainfall estimation algorithm.

四成分系 Cu-Fe-Sn-S 시스템의 相關係에 대한 합성실험에서 두 개의 固溶體 타입의 合成相(Fe, Cu, Sn)1+xS와 Cu2-yFe1+ySnS4가 발견되었으며 이들은 成分四面體 내에서 CuS-FeS-SnS로 표시될 수 있는 reference面의 주위에서 안정한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 煎者는 섬아연석 結晶構造를 갖고 있는 단순황화물 고용체로서 온도함수인 금속과 유황의 비율(9.7-1.0/1.0)에 따라 광범위한 화학적 안정영역을 차지하고 있다. 또산 섬아연석 超格子중에 하나인 테트라헤드라이트 結晶構造를 갖고 있는 후자는 Cu2FeSnS4-FeS conode를 따라 렌즈型의 안정범위를 갖으나 subsolidus 범위(350˚C까지) 내에서 相轉移 현상이 없고 835-862˚C에서 不調和熔融을 한다. 위 두 개의 고용체는 온도변화에 따라 相互溶解度 그리고 관련된 각각의 합성상이 화학조성이 변화하는 소위 Incorporation-type Solid Solution이다. 특히 後者의 경우 섬아연석 subcell을 기본골격으로 하는 超格子의 특징적인 양상을 X-ray 연구에서 찾을 수 있으며 이 패턴을 초격자의 안전성이 높다는 것을 암시해 주고 물리, 화학적 특성이 stoichiometric phase Cu2FeSnS4와 相異하다.
