Fine polymeric fibers have been gaining interest from the energy harvesting/storage, tissue, and bioengineering industries because of advantages such as the small diameter, high porosity, permeability, and similarities to a natural extracellular matrix. Electrospinning is one of the most popular methods used to fabricate polymeric fibers because it is not as limited in regards to the materials selection, and it does not require expensive or complex equipment. However, electrospun fibers have a severe aerodynamic instability because the small diameter fibers are able to pass through the atmospheric layer when there is a high electric field. As a result, electrospun fibrous mats have serious difficulties with controlling its shape and geometric properties. In this study, a hybrid nano/microfibrous mat is presented that is fabricated using electrospinning with two different solvent-based PCL solutions. This provides control of the fiber diameter, mat porosity, and mechanical properties. Various hybrid fibrous mats were fabricated after an experimental investigation of the effects of solvent on fiber diameter. It was then demonstrated that the mechanical properties and porosity of the fabricated various hybrid mats could be successfully controlled.

The flexural behavior test of UHPC segmental box girder which has 160 MPa compressive strength and 15.4 m length was carried out. The effect of steel fibers in combination with reinforcing bars on improving the ductile performance of UHPC box girder was evaluated by comparing the flexural behavior of the UHPC segmental box girders made by the two kinds of mixing portion. The test variables are volume fraction of steel fibers and the arrangement of reinforcing bars. The behavior of UHPC box girder BF2 composed of 1% volume fraction of steel fibers and longitudinal reinforcing bars in web and upper flange with stirrup showed the similar ductile behavior with the girder BF1 composed of 2% volume fraction without stirrup in elastic stress region. But BF1 had the better stiffness and showed the more ductile behavior in inelastic stress region. Segmental interfaces of UHPC box girder have not any crack and slide until the final flexural collapse load.

A selective medium which allows growth of only cellulolytic bacteria was developed. The medium composed of 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 0.005% yeast extract, minerals and agar. Colony formation on this medium indicates overall activities of cellulose utilization. A subsequent test with Congo Red dye could distinguish extracellular cellulolysis from intracellular type.

In this study, the concrete in which the hybrid fiber with different volume and rate was intermixed in high fluidity concrete. However, Fiber Ball is frequently caused by the decrease in the dispersion of the fiber. The research has been conducted primarily study of single fiber or hybrid fiber, such as different length of single fiber. Therefore, we investigate the mechanical properties of concrete was mixed with a combination of various fibers been produced domestically. Its purpose being to provide basic data for evaluating the impact hybrid fibers on the fluidity of concrete.

실내공간에 존재하는 먼지입자를 제거하는데 적용되는 대표적인 방법들로는 섬유상 필터를 이용한 먼지입자 여과 기술과 전기집진기를 이용한 여과 기술이 있다. 섬유상 필터를 이용한 여과 기술은 입자의 관성충돌(inertial impaction), 차단(interception) 및 확산(diffusion) 메카니즘을 이용한 기술로써, 입자포집 효율이 아주 우수한 반면 압력손실이 큰 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 개선하기 위하여 개발된 필터로써 정전부착(electrostatic deposition) 메카니즘을 이용한 정전여과필터(electret filter)라고 것이 있는데, 이것은 섬유 자체에 정전 하전을 주입시킨 특수한 필터이다.

최근 노동 집약적인 성격의 섬유 산업에서는 AI를 통해 공정에 들어가는 시간과 비용을 줄이고 품질을 최적화 하려는 시도를 하고 있다. 그러나 섬유 방사 공정은 데이터 수집에 필요한 비용이 크고 체계적인 데이터 처리 시스템이 부족하여 축적된 데이터양이 적다. 또 방사 목적에 따라 특정 변수 위주의 조합에 대한 데이터만을 우선적으로 수집하여 데이터 불균형이 발생하며, 물성 측정환경 차이로 인해 동일 방사조건에서 수집된 샘플 간에도 오차가 존재한다. 이러한 데이터 특성들을 고려하지 않고 AI 모델에 활용할 경우 과적합과 성능 저하 등의 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 물성 단위 및 허용오차를 고려한 이상치 처리 기법과 데이터 불균형 정도 및 물성과의 상관성을 고려한 오버샘플링 기법을 물성 예측 모델에 적용한다. 두 기법들을 모델에 적용한 결과 그렇지 않은 모델에 비해 물성 예측 오차와 방사 공정 데이터에 대한 모델의 적합도가 개선됨을 보인다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of routine liver ultrasonography on the basis of the scoring system according to the morphological parameters of liver ultrasound images and the histopathological results of liver biopsy. The morphological parameters of the liver through ultrasonography were divided into liver surface, liver edge and liver parenchyma. Pathologic results of liver biopsy were classified as mild fibrosis(F1), significant fibrosis(F2), severe fibrosis(F3), and cirrhosis(F4). In conclusion, routine ultrasound examination showed a sensitive predictive factor for fibrosis with mild fibrosis (F1) to severe fibrosis (F3) were liver edge>liver parenchyma>liver surface. However, the predictive factors for detecting cirrhosis (F4) were liver parenchyma>liver surface>liver edge. The use of three variable combinations rather than individual variables in routine ultrasonography may be useful in evaluating the degree and progress of liver fibrosis.

Environmental pollution from waste and the climate crisis, due to rising global average temperatures, are reaching critical levels threatening human survival. Research is ongoing across various fields to solve this problem, with a key focus on developing eco-friendly, carbon-neutral materials. Our study aimed to integrate natural fibers, known for their environmentally friendly properties and lower carbon emissions, with carbon fibers. In general, combining high-strength and low-strength materials results in intermediate properties. However, we found that certain properties in our study exceeded those of typical carbon fiber composite materials. To validate this, we produced both carbon fiber composite materials and carbon fiber/natural fiber hybrid composite materials. We then compared their mechanical properties using a range of specific tests. Our results revealed that the hybrid composite material exhibited superior bending strength and fracture toughness compared to the carbon fiber composite material. We also identified the underlying mechanisms contributing to this strength enhancement. This breakthrough suggests that the use of hybrid composite materials may allow the production of stronger structures. Moreover, this can play a significant role in mitigating environmental pollution and the climate crisis by reducing carbon emissions, a major contributing factor to these global challenges.

In the geosynthetics-reinforced piled embankment the effects of soft soil stiffness, friction angle of the fill material, tensile stiffness of geosynthetics, and height of the embankment on the load transfer soil arch measured by the critical height were numerically investigated. Results from parametric studies show that the magnitude of the soft soil stiffness is the most influencing factor on the critical height. The contour charts of the critical height with respect to the combination of the soft soil stiffness and other parameters were presented. The charts show that the critical height sensitively varies with the combination of the soft soil stiffness and the height of embankment. Under the sufficiently low stiffness of soft soil, the critical height sensitively varies with the friction angle of the fill material. Once the geosynthetic layer is placed, however, the magnitude of the tensile stiffness of the geosynthetic layer hardly influences the critical height of the soil arch.
