A single lap shear test was used to investigate the effects of the ratio of a catalyst to a self-healing agent and curing temperature on the bond performance of autonomic polymer composites. DCPD (dicyclopentadiene), ENB (5-ethylidene-2-norbornene), and their mixture were used as self-healing agents and bis(triclohexylphosphine) benzyllidine ruthenium (IV) dichloride Grubbs' catalyst was used as a catalyst. During the experiments, the catalyst ratios of 1.0wt% and 0.5wt% were applied to DCPD, the catalyst ratio of 0.lwt% was applied to ENB, and the catalyst ratio of 0.5wt% was applied to the mixtutes of DPCD and ENB. In addition, the curing temperatures of $25^{\circ}C$, $60{\circ}C$, and $80^{\circ}C$ were considered. According to the results, the higher catalyst ratio and the longer curing time were required to obtain more stabilized bond shear strength of DCPD. ENB with a lower catalyst ratio was cured faster than DCPD. Unlike DCPD, ENB stabilized after a steady fall from its peak as the curing time increased. Moreover, the mixtures of DCPD and ENB revealed similar curing behavior to ENB, but the increase in mixture ratio of ENB to DCPD caused curing process to be faster. Also the increase in curing temperature caused the bond shear strength to be higher and the curing time to be quicker.

The high predictive performance of fire detector models is essentially needed to assure the reliability of fire and evacuation modeling in the process of Performance-Based fire safety Design (PBD). The main objective of the present study is to measure input information in order to predictive the accurate activation time of fixed temperature heat detectors adopted in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) as a representative fire model. To end this, Fire Detector Evaluator (FDE) which could be measured the device properties of detector was used, and the spot-type fixed temperature heat detectors of two thermistor types and one bimetal type were considered as research objectors. Activation temperature and Response Time Index (RTI) of detectors required for the fire modeling were measured, and then the RTI was measured for ceiling jet flow and vertical jet flow in consideration of the install location of detectors. The results of fire modeling using measured device properties were compared and validated with the experimental results of full-scale compartment fires. It was confirmed that, in result, the numerically predicted activation time of detector showed reasonable agreement with the measured activation time.

The age and growth of the skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis were determined using otoliths sampled from a Korean tuna purse seine fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean from January 2005 to September 2006. A total of 312 otoliths were used to estimate the ages of skipjack tuna, which ranged from 1 to 7 years. The relationships between otolith ring radius (R) and fork length (FL) for female, male, and sex combined were FL = 19.74R + 1.50 ($r^2=0.54$), FL = 17.66R + 6.35 ($r^2=0.47$), and FL = 18.83R + 3.36 ($r^2=0.53$), respectively. The back-calculated fork lengths of each age ($FL_{year}$) were $FL_1=36.2cm$, $FL_2=43.3cm$, $FL_3=48.3cm$, $FL_4=52.6cm$, $FL_5=56.5cm$, $FL_6=60.8cm$, and $FL_7=63.2cm$. The relationships between fork length (FL) and total weight (TW) for female, male, and sex combined were $TW=0.00001FL^{3.19}(r^2=0.95)$, $TW=0.00001FL^{3.17}(r^2=0.95)$, and $TW=0.000009FL^{3.23}(r^2=0.95)$, respectively. The von Bertalanffy growth parameters of skipjack tuna estimated in this study were $L_{\infty}=77.4cm$, K = 0.176/year, and $t_0=-2.569years$.

The congestion of railway vehicle and station shows up to 220%. Especially, transfer resistance of passenger increase rapidly by the collision of circulation. So increment of travel time, occurrence of safety accidents act as a factor that inhibits the utilization of urban railway station. In this paper, to improve traveling speed and comfort of urban rail passengers, urban transit passenger guidance system using congestion management model is proposed. The congestion management model that can mitigate a recurring/non-recurring congestion is constructed and the preliminary design of the system (middleware system, control system, guidance drive system) is carried out. Passenger Guidance System is configured by step for changing the external data into a form usable by the algorithm, step to perform the congestion management algorithm using the real-time data and historical data, step to control device based on the value that is calculated by congestion management algorithm, step to drive the device based on the information in the control system and circulation guidance devices. In the future, detail design will be performed based on the preliminary design. A prototype of the various devices according to the station structures and locations will be made. The control module of guidance device will be developed.

The development of the electrical, electronic, and telecommunication industries has increased the share of electricity in total energy consumption. With the enforcement of the Act on the Promotion of the Development, Use, and Diffusion of New and Renewable Energy in 2021, the mandatory supply ratio of new and renewable energy is expected to expand, and the amount of waste cables generated in the stage of replacing and discarding cables used in the industry is also expected to increase. The purpose of this study was to quantify the environmental burden of waste cable recycling through the life cycle assessment (LCA) method. The results showed that the higher the amount of glue contained in the waste cable, the greater was the amount of fine dust and greenhouse gases generated. In addition, by assigning weights to 10 environmental burden items, it was confirmed that the marine aquatic eco-toxicity potential (MAETP) and human toxicity potential (HTP) had the greatest environmental burden. The main causes were identified as heptane and ethanol, which were the glue contained in the waste cable and the cleaning solutions used to remove them. Therefore, it is necessary to refrain from using glue in the cable production process and reduce the environmental burden by reducing the use of waste cable cleaning solutions used in the recycling process or using alternative materials.

In this study, we wanted to know the change in the craniovertebral angle before and after stretching and muscle tone according to rest time immediately after stretching. 57 students in their 20s and 30s were targeted, and the craniovertebral angle was compared before and after stretching. Static manual stretching was applied for stretching, and after 30 seconds, it was repeated three times with a break time of 10 seconds, and before stretching, immediately after, two minutes after, and five minutes after stretching were measured using muscle tone measuring equipment. As a result, there was no significant difference in craniovertebral angle before and after stretching, and the change in muscle tone according to the rest time after stretching was more significant after 5 minutes than before stretching. It is more effective to take five minutes to rest after stretching, reduce muscle tone than working immediately after stretching.

Purpose: Detection of TSH-binding inhibitor immunoglobulin (TBII) in patients with hyperthyroidism is an important result of Graves' disease (GD) and hyperthyroidism treatment. This has been made out an inspection by commercial radio-receptor assays. To increase the sensitivity and the specificity of the assay, many results of the assay were reported. In this study we evaluated the clinical usetulness of TBII assays by the Comparative method. Material and Methods: We were measured by using healthy control group (n=30, male=20, female=10) of Seoul National University Hospital Healthcare System Gangnam Center from January to March in 2009. Similarly, We were measured by using hyperthyroid (TSH<$0.05\;{\mu}IU/mL$, FT4>1.80 ng/dL) experimental group (n=58, male=14, female=44) of division of endocrinology and metabolism department of internal medicine Seoul National University Hospital from January to March in 2009. We made a comparative study of each two assays from the first generation to the third generation. We were used of TSAb assay as a measurement of GD diagnostic technique. Results: The specificity of healthy control group was 100% according to the generation. (Specificity=100%, n=30) The sensitivity of hyperthyroid experimental group were the first generation RSR<%> (79.3%, n=58), RSR (51.7%, n=58), the second generation RSR-CT (93.1%, n=58), BRAHMSCT (98.3%, n=58), the third generation ELISA (94.6%, n=56), ECLIA (97.7%, n=58) and TS-Ab<%> (93.5%, n=46). Conclusion: We were used of TSAb assay as a measurement of GD diagnostic technique, The result of data showed a high correlation between the third generation TBII assay and the second generation TBII assay ($R^2$=0.923). Instead of the first generation assay, the second generation assay can be more useful in clincal diagnosis.

The dissipation patterns of a boscalid in cucumber under greenhouse condition was investigated to establish pre-harvest residue limit (PHRL) and biological half-life. Initial concentration of boscalid in cucumber at standard application rate was $7.29\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ and decreased to $0.04\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ after 15 days with half-life of 1.9 day, while the initial concentration was $14.69\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ and decreased to $0.11\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ after same period with half lift of 2.0 day at double application rate. PHRL was suggested by prediction curve derived from the decay curve of boscalid at double rate treatment. For example, $10.39\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ was calculated for 10 days before harvest, and $1.73\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ for 5 days. Dilution effect was major factor far the decrease of boscalid residue due to fast increasement of weight of cucumber during cultivation. Final residues level of boscalid was predicted based on the dissipation curve and guideline on safe use, when boscalid was used to control powdery mildew and gray mold. At standard rate application, $1.26\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $1.33\;mg\;kg^{-1}$ were calculated as final residue levels for control powdery mildew and gray mold, respectively, which are above the MRL(Meximum Residue Limit).

An analytical method for detecting metamifop residue in paddy water, soil, and rice with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. Water was extracted with ethyl acetate before analyzing by HPLC. Soil residues were extracted with acetone under acidic condition and after purifying with $Extrelut^{(R)}$ NT, and silica SPE, the residue was analyzed by HPLC. For residue analysis in rice, the procedure involved extraction with acetone, purification with $Extrelut^{(R)}$ NT, partitioning between acetonitrile/hexane, purification with silica SPE cartridge, and analysis by HPLC. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1.0 ng, limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 3.0 ng, and method limit of quantitation (MLOQ) were 0.001 mg/L for paddy water, 0.01 mg/kg for rice and soil, respectively. Standard calibration curve shows linearity from 0.05 mg/kg to 5.0 mg/kg ($R^2=0.9999$). The recoveries in fortified paddy water were $91.3{\pm}3.5%$ (0.01 mg/L level) and $93.2{\pm}6.3%$ (0.05 mg/L level). The recoveries in fortified paddy soils were $92.5{\pm}4.0%$ (0.1 mg/kg level) and $92.7{\pm}4.0%$ (0.5 mg/kg level) in soil A, while, $102.3{\pm}4.4%$ (0.1 mg/kg level) and $98.9{\pm}7.9%$ (0.5 mg/kg level) in soil B, respectively. The recoveries in fortified rice were $93.0{\pm}6.9%$ (0.1 mg/kg level) and $85.0{\pm}3.5%$ (0.5 mg/kg level). This method was proved to be effective and can be used to determine the metamifop residue in paddy water, paddy soil, and rice.
