Fines such as silt or clay are usually mixed with granular particles in natural or reclaimed soils which are slightly cemented. Such fines contained within weakly cemented soils may influence permeability and also mechanical behavior of the soils. In this study, a series of unconfined compression tests on weakly cemented sands with fines are carried out in order to evaluate the effect of fines on unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of cemented soils. Two different cement ratios and fine types were used and fine contents varied by 5, 10, and 15%. Two types of specimens were prepared in this testing. One is the specimen with the same compaction energy applied. The other is the one with the same dry density by varying compaction energy. When the same amount of compaction energy was applied to a specimen, its density increased as a fine content increased. As a result, the UCS of cemented soils with fines increased up to 2.6 times that of one without fines as an amount of fines increased. However, when the specimen was prepared to have the same density, its UCS slightly decreased and then increased a little as a fine content increased. Under the same conditions, a UCS of the specimen with silt was stronger than the one with kaolin. As a cement ratio increased, a UCS increased regardless of fine type and content.

Cross and reciprocal hybrids from intrageneric crosses between Rhodeus uyekii and R. notatus were analyzed morphometrically using truss and classical dimensions, erythrocyte size using blood smears, and cytogenetically using flowcytometry, then compared with the parental species. Although the morphometric assessment based on body proportions indicated that the hybrids were generally intermediate between the maternal and paternal species, the morphometric characters of cross and reciprocal hybrids included at least 14 paternal-like and 7 maternal-like, and 13 paternal-like and 5 maternal-like characters, respectively (P<0.05). The pigmentation of the hybrids was intermediate in some respects, and resembled that of the parental species. The DNA content of the cross and reciprocal hybrids, based on flow cytometry analysis, was significantly different from the parental species. The characterization of morphometric traits and the cytogenetic analysis of hybrids of R. uyekii and R. notatus used in this study may be useful for distinguishing genotypes in commercial Acheilognathinae aquaculture.

Candida (also known as Pseudozyma) antarctica lipase B (CAL-B) has been intensely studied in academic and industrial fields. However, the research related to its homologous enzymes has been rarely reported. In the current investigation, protein sequence similarity search of CAL-B has been conducted and six homologous protein sequences were identified. After the syntheses of their codon-optimized genes, the synthetic genes have been cloned into a periplasmic expression vector to express in Escherichia coli. Among six homologous sequences, four sequences were successfully expressed in E. coli. The hydrolytic activities of the expressed proteins towards 4-nitrophenyl acetate and 4-nitrophenyl butyrate were measured and compared with those of CAL-B to identify whether the expressed proteins work as a hydrolase. It has been revealed that the expressed proteins can hydrolyze the substrates and the specific activities were determined as $(1.3-30){\times}10^{-2}{\mu}mol/min/mg$, which are lower than those of CAL-B. Among these homologous enzymes, Pseudozyma hubeiensis SY62 exhibits the comparable enantioselectivity to that of CAL-B towards the hydrolysis of (${\pm}$)-1-phenylethyl acetate.

A filamentous form of mollicute-like bacterium was detected during a routine health survey of wild adult kuruma shrimp Penaeus japonicus. The kuruma shrimp were native to Japan and were imported to Korea. The histology showed no pathological changes. Transmission electron microscopy revealed extensive infections of hepatopancreatic epithelial cell by a pleomorphic, filamentous intracellular bacterium. The filamentous bacterium was of about 60 nm in diameter and 300 nm to more than $1{\mu}m$ in length. Teh morphology of bacteria were filamentous and branched with terminal blebs, or knobs, on the branches. They lacked the cell wall, and were bounded by the plasma membrane. They contained typical prokaryotic ribosomes and fibrillar DNA-like strands. No additional internal structure has been observed. They are considered to be mollicutes, based upon the morphological appearance and upon the cellular location.

This paper presents experimental results on detailing of boundary element transverse reinforcement, proposed to alleviate placement detailing of special shear wall experiencing difficulty in construction at the sites due to recently reinforced seismic regulations, according to the type and placement interval of transverse reinforcement. As a result of experiment, crack and destruction aspects of SSWR series specimen that employed the proposed detailing of transverse reinforcement showed similar trend as SSW series specimen that used closed hoop. Predicted maximum strength values were exceeded. Also as a result of comparing energy dissipation ability, SSWR2 specimen that follows alleviated placement detailing was found to have similar seismic performance as special shear wall SSW2 specimen based on the existing design standard. As it satisfies the deformation angle condition of 1.5% provided in the design standard, SSWR2 can be used as the main lateral force resistance element in structures.

Linear mixed model has often been utilized for genetic association analysis with family-based samples. The correlation matrix for family-based samples is constructed with kinship coefficient and assumes that parental phenotypes are independent and the amount of correlations between parent and offspring is same as that of correlations between siblings. However, for instance, there are positive correlations between parental heights, which indicates that the assumption for correlation matrix is often violated. The statistical validity and power are affected by the appropriateness of assumed variance covariance matrix, and in this thesis, we provide the linear mixed model with flexible variance covariance matrix. Our results show that the proposed method is usually more efficient than existing approaches, and its application to genome-wide association study of body mass index illustrates the practical value in real data analysis.

본 연구에서는 여주 외 5개 지점에서 유사 이동이 활발한 시기인 홍수기 및 저 평수기(홍수전 후)에 부유사와 하상토를 측정하고 이를 통해 유사량 특성을 파악하였다. 시료분석은 그 목적에 따라 여과법, BW관법, 체분석법으로 $Od{\acute{e}}n$ Curve와 입도분포곡선 등을 작성하여 총유사량 추정시 이용하였다. 또한 총유사량을 추정하는 데 있어 에너지 개념을 이용한 Ackers & White(1973년), Engelund & Hansen(1967년), Yang(1973년, 1979년)의 방법과 확산-이송 개념의 Modified Einstein(1955년) 방법을 적용하였다. 연구결과, 유량-부유사농도, 부유사량, 총유사량 관계에 있어 동일 유량에 대한 변동성과 추정방법에 따른 총유사량의 상충을 볼 수 있었다. 이는 강우사상별 특성 및 하천의 수리 및 유사특성에 따른 원인과 추정방법에 대한 서로 다른 제한된 범위의 자료들을 적용한 데에서 오는 오류로 판단된다.

We investigated effects of a topical treatment of methoprene(0.5-5.0$\mul$/egg), a juvenLle horm mane analogue, on embryo development in the gypsy moth, Lymantri$\alpha$ dispar. Methoprene lowered egg hatching rate, and also reduced the mean wet weights of hatched 1st instar larvae w with the most effect shown at the highest concentration. The differences in protein(p < 0.01) and carbohydrate(p < 0.05) contents between control and methoprene(5$\mul$/ egg) treatment g groups were observed during embryo development.

SOFC cell 하나의 전위차는 약1.1V이기 때문에 발전용으로 사용하기 위해서는 수많은 단전지를 직렬로 연결하는 구조가 필요하다. 이러한 stack의 디자인에서 발생하는 문제를 획기적으로 개선한 형태가 하나의 지지체에 셀을 직렬로 연결함으로 전극의 선폭 및 단위 셀 간의 간격이 기존 평판형, 원통형에 비해 대폭 축소되어 전극 및 연결재의 저항손실을 최소화할 수 있는 Segmented형 SOFC이다. Segmented SOFC에 적용하기 위한 세라믹 다공성 지지체는 연료와 공기에서의 화학적 안정성, 셀의 구성소재와 반응이 없으며 열팽창계수가 유사해야하는 특성을 가져야하는데 그 중에서도 지지체로써 적절한 기계적 강도와 높은 가스투과도가 요구되어진다. 본 연구에서는 고온에서 안정한 Spinel의 MgAl2O4를 주성분으로 하는 다공성 지지체를 압출 성형하여 평관형으로 제조하였으며 활성탄을 기공형성제로 사용하여 연료의 공급이 원활하도록 약 30%의 기공율을 가지는 다공성 세라믹 지지체를 제조하였다. 제조된 세라믹 지지체에 연료극(NiO/YSZ), 전해질(TZ8Y), 공기극(LSM)을 코팅하여 실제 SOFC에 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

대화체는 문어체와는 달리 화자와 청자 사이의 질의/응답으로 이루어진 형태의 문장들을 가지며, 생략과 대용어가 빈번히 발생하는 특징을 갖는다. 이러한 대화 형태에서 어떠한 한 문장에는 화자가 전달하고자 하는 의도를 포함하고 있다. 이러한 대화체 문장들을 번역하는 것은 단순한 언어적 분석에 의한 번역으로서는 많은 번역상의 오류가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 대화체 문장들의 올바른 번역을 위해서는 대화의 상황을 반영하는 문맥 정보가 부가적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문맥 정보로서 화행을 사용하여 대화체 기계번역을 수행하고자 한다. 화행(Speech Act)이란 화자에 의해 의도되어 발화 속에 포함된 언어적 행위를 나타내며, 이러한 화행을 분석함으로써 화자의 의도를 파악하고 이를 통해 올바른 번역을 수행할 수 있게 된다. 본 기계번역 시스템에 포함된 화행 분석 과정에서는 대화를 화행으로 모델링한 담화 문법과 유사한 형태의 재귀적 대화 전이망(Recursive Dialog Transition Network)을 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 호텔 예약 영역에서의 기계번역 시스템에 대한 간단한 소개와 화행의 종류 및 분석 방법과 이를 통한 기계번역 방식에 대해 살펴보도록 하겠다.
