An experiment has been carried out to investigate the aerodynamic effect of surface roughness on the characteristics of the turbulent separation and reattaching flow downstream of a backward-facing step. The distributions of boundary layer parameters, forward-flow fraction and turbulent stresses in the region near the reattachment point are measured with a split film sensor. It is demonstrated that the streamwise distributions of the forward-flow fraction in the recirculation and reattachment regions are similar, independent of the roughness. The reattachment length is found to be only weakly affected by the roughness. It is also shown that the velocity profile on the rough surface approaches to that of the equilibrium turbulent boundary layer faster than that on the smooth surface in the redeveloping region after reattachment.

Polyphosphazene-bound Wittig reagents such as $[NP(OC_6H_5)_{1.7}(OC_6H_4P(Ph)_2$=$CHCH_2CH_2CH_3)_{0.3}]_n$ were synthesized by treating $[NP(OC_6H_5)_{1.7}(OC_6H_4Br)_{0.3}]_n$ with n-butyllithium, diphenylchlorophosphine, and n-butyl iodide. Polymeric reactions were carried out according to the reaction conditions with cyclic primers such as [$N_3P_3(OC_6H_5)_5(OC_6H_4P(Ph)_2$)]. The desired alkene and polymer-bound phosphine oxide were prepared successfully by the reaction of polyphosphazene-bound Wittig reagents with benzophenone.

The stabilized Michelson interferometer was developed in order to measure micro dynamic displacement at the surface of solids due to elastic wave propagation. The stabilizer was designed to compensate light path disturbances using a reference mirror driven by piezoelectric actuator. Using stabilizer, the effect of external vibration was reduced and the quadrature condition was satisifed. As the results, the output of photodetector had maximum sensitivity and linearity. The minimum detectable displacement was 0.3nm at the band width of 10 MHz. The epicentral displacements due to the glass capillary breaks and the steel ball drop impact were measured using the developed interferometer and the results were compared with the calculated one.

In this paper, we analyzed the radiation patterns of a monopole antenna mounted on the complex structures by using FDTD method associated with 3-D PML absorbing boundary condition. In order to validate the proposed FDTD code, the radiation patterns of monopole antenna mounted on cylinders and spheres were compared with the exact solutions of $Carter^{[1]}$ and $Harrington^{[2]}$. For all case considered, the predicted radiation pattern exhibited excellent agreement with exact solution. To be able to model the more complex structures, the proposed FDTD methods are combined with BRL-CAD. And this procedures is applied to predict the radiation patterns of a wire antenna attached to the top of a Blackhawk helicopter.

Structures requiring chemical resistance are usually coated with surface protecting agents, but the cost for maintenance and re-construction is incurred due to the low durability. Therefore, in this study, sulfur was polymerized and the performance was examined so that it could be used as the concrete surface protecting agents for structures requiring chemical resistance. The evaluation results indicated that for the spray of the sulfur polymer surface coating agents, the application of the gravity type was appropriate; and for the number of coating times, about 3 cycle spray gave the best results. For the surface condition of the concrete to be coated with the surface protecting agents, outstanding quality was obtained above room temperature ($20{\sim}30^{\circ}C$), and the bond strength increased as the temperature increased. The evaluation results of the strength characteristics depending on the filler content of the surface protecting agents indicated that about 20~40% filler mixing contributed to the strength improvement as it reduced the shrinkage of the sulfur polymer. Also, the mixing of silica showed larger increase in the bond strength than the mixing of fly ash, and the most outstanding bond strength characteristics could be obtained by the mixing of both silica and fly ash. In the case of the chemical resistance, the strength reduction was minimized and outstanding chemical resistance was obtained when the fly ash and silica were substituted by 20%, respectively. The performance evaluation of the chloride ion penetration indicated that for the specimens coated with the sulfur polymer surface protecting agents, the chloride ion penetration resistance increased by 29~48% compared to the specimen without the coating of the surface protecting agent. The examination of the coating condition of the surface protecting agents, compressive strength, bond strength, chemical resistance, and salt damage resistance indicated that in the range of this study, the optimal level was when the silica and fly ash were substituted by 20%, respectively, as the filler for the sulfur polymer.

We evaluated the effects of various factors (e.g., serum, inhibitors of protein synthesis, and cytoskeleton and protein kinases) on early PMA-induced THP-1 cell adhesion using an adhesion assay with Sulforhodamine B (SRB) staining, which was used to assess the proliferation of the attached cells. THP-1 cell adhesion to a plastic substrate was detected 1 hr after exposure to Phorbol 12-Myristate 13-Acetate (PMA) and peaked after 18 hr. At concentrations > 25 nM PMA, the level of adhesion did not change. Based on our preliminary results, we used 25 nM PMA and 5 hr of culture as standard assay conditions. Early PMA-induced cell adhesion was not affected by the presence of serum or PD 98059 in the culture medium, but was affected by the addition of PKC inhibitors and cycloheximide. In the presence of actin inhibitor with PMA, the cell adhesion increased when comparing with PMA treatment only. Thus, early PMA-induced adhesion of THP-1 cells does not require serum in the culture medium, MAP-kinase activation, or actin polymerization, but does require de novo protein synthesis and PKC activation. Our SRB-based cell adhesion assay may be used to screen other PKC inhibitors.

Although the construction joints of a concrete structure are properly treated with some measures, leakage has frequently occurred. A series of tests on the bond characteristics between new and old concrete were carried out in this study, assuming that the leakage at the construction joints has certain relationship with the bond of concrete. To assess the bond characteristics under various conditions, a number of specimens were made that have an interface between new and old concrete and bond strength, flexural strength and splitting tensile strength were measured. Main test variables are type and amount of mineral admixtures, treatment method of the interface and type of waterstops. In addition, the effects of placing interval between the concrete and of the age of the strength tests were investigated. The test results showed a slightly increased bond strength when applying mineral admixtures, which can be attributed to the interface filled with the calcium silicate hydrate that is formed by pozzolanic reaction. On the other hand, the bond strength was higher when the interface was treated rough and dry, and the roughness of a waterstop affected the bond capacity of the waterstop. Also, an assessment is required that considers the type of strength test because the bond strength varied according to the test methods.

In this paper, we achieved the study which determined the excellent diagnostic condition and searched the exposure condition with the minimum radiation exposure level having the equal diagnostic ability. To accomplish these study, chest phantom images with lesions and without ones were evaluated at various exposure conditions. With respect to the phantom with lesions and without ones, we obtained the chest PA imaging applied by photographing parts of DR apparatus and the images processed as histogram equalization and edge enhancement method. The images were acquired at the exposure conditions of 2.0, 2.5, 3.2, 4.0 and 5.0mAs. The morphological analysis was performed by ROC curves using the images obtained at each exposure condition. The exposure conditions with the most excellent diagnostic ability and with the equal diagnostic capability having the minimum radiation exposure level were determined by means of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy.
