Non Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) has gained a lot of significance over the years as a means of income generation. Forests are playing a vital role in the supply of these products, however, due to their continuous extraction, the population of many species might have depleted. Very little information is known about community structure and population status of NTFPs. No specific studies have been made to find out the occurrence, availability of species and population status in the forests, supplying the resources. The present study has been carried out in community forests of the naturally occurring NTFPs in the temperate forest of the Ziro valley of Arunachal Pradesh. The main aim is to determine community structure, species composition and population status of NTFPs. Three forest stands viz., Nyilii, Dura and Gyachi were selected which are used by the Apatani tribe for extraction of the NTFPs. For evaluation of species composition and community characteristics, the sampling of the vegetation was done using the quadrat method. A total 137 species representing 68 families and 116 genera were recorded. Herbs represent the maximum diversity with 71 species followed by 35 shrub species and 31 tree species. The families Asteraceae and Rosaceaeae exhibited maximum representation followed by Urticaceae. The species under Fagaceae, Lauraceae, Rosaceae and Rutaceae were found to be important NTFP yielding species. Highest species richness was recorded in Nyilii having 124 species, while lowest in Dura with 102 species. Density of tree, shrub and herb ranged between 376 to $456\;individuals\;ha^{-1}$, 2848 to $3696\;individuals\;ha^{-1}$ and 31.44 to $36.64\;individuals\;m^{-2}$, respectively. The total basal area was found to be highest ($51.64m^2\;ha^{-1}$) in Dura followed by Nyilii ($25.32m^2\;ha^{-1}$) and lowest in Gyachi ($22.82m^2\;ha^{-1}$). In all the three study stands the species diversity indices showed the trend, herbs > shrubs > trees while the evenness index showed the trend as shrubs > herbs > trees. The overall species similarity index was highest (82.35%) between Dura and Gyachi. About 80% of the total recorded species showed clumped distribution while, no regular distribution was shown by any species. The three selected stands harbor about 50 important NTFP yielding species which are being used commonly by the Apatani people in their day to day life. Among the three study sites, overall diversity of NTFP was found highest in the Nyilii stand while the density of population was found better in Dura and Gyachi stands. The population of many species was found to be low due to continue harvesting without any sustainable management by the communities. All the selected forest stands have the potentiality to grow the high value NTFP yielding species and if managed properly, they can support the livelihood and economy of the local communities.

In this study linear and nonlinear dynamic stability characteristics of a medium-size high-speed turbocharger, whose rotor is supported by two 3-lobe journal bearings, are analyzed to evaluate and identify the effects of its bearing design variables. The rotor has the rated speed of 40,500 rpm and maximum continuous speed of 45,000 rpm. At first, utilizing the linear stability analysis method, bearing designs of yielding stable or unstable LogDecs as small as possible are searched by manipulating with machined bearing clearances and preloads. As next, utilizing the nonlinear analysis method, limit cycles of the rotor responses at the rated and maximum continuous speeds are simulated to check their acceptances. Results have shown that for the turbocharger rotor-bearing system considered, the 3-lobe journal bearing design with a smaller machined clearance and a larger preload are preferred for the stable rotor responses. More importantly, since there exists a good correlation between the linear and nonlinear stability analysis results, it is concluded that firstly the linear stability analysis method may be applied to screen quickly the ranges of bearing designs for stable or least unstable solutions and then, lastly the nonlinear stability analysis method may be deployed to check an absolute motion stability in terms of the limit cycle.

현행 강구조 설계기준은 일반 구조용 강재의 이론과 실험에 의한 결과에 근거를 한다. 그러나 오스테나이트계 스테인리스 강재는 일반 구조용 강재와 달리 연속항복 현상이 일어난다. 설계기준강도를 결정짓는 옾셋강도는 현행 설계기준의 판폭두께비 제한값에 영향을 미친다. 단주압축 실험결과 0.2% 옾셋강도를 설계기준강도로 하면 허용응력도 설계법과 한계상태 설계법에서 정하고 있는 판폭두께비의 규정을 모두 만족하였다. 또한 일반 구조용 강재와 달리 판폭두께비를 만족시키지 못하는 경우에도 최대내력에 도달하기 전에 국부좌굴이 발생하지만 급격한 내력저하는 일어나지 않았다.

Given the widespread use of the Finite Element Method in strength analysis, automatic mesh generation is an important component in the computer-aided design of parts and assemblies. For a given resolution of geometric accuracy, the purpose of mesh generators is to discretize the continuous model of a part within this error limit. Sticking to this condition often produces many small elements around small features in spite that these regions are usually of little interest and computer resources are thus wasted. Therefore, it is desirable to selectively suppress small features from the model before discretization. This can be achieved by low-pass filtering a CAD model. A spatial function of one dimension higher than the model of interest is represented using the Fourier basis functions and the region where the function yields a value greater than a prescribed value is considered as the extent of a shape. Subsequently, the spatial function is low-pass filtered, yielding a shape without the small features. As an undesirable effect to this operation, all sharp corners are rounded. Preservation of sharp corners is important since stress concentrations might occur there. This is why the LPF (low-pass filtered) model can not be directly used. Instead, the distances of the boundary elements of the original shape from the LPF model are calculated and those that are far from the LPF model are identified and removed. It is shown that the number of mesh elements generated on the simplified model is much less than that of the original model.

An energy method of analysis is presented which can be used to study the inelastic lateral-distortional buckling of hot-rolled I-sections continuously restrained at the level of the tension flange. The numerical modelling leads to the incremental and iterative solution of a fourth-order eigenproblem, with very rapid solutions being obtainable, so as to enable a study of the factors that influence the strength of continuously restained I-beams to be made. Although hot-rolled I-sections generally have stocky webs and are not susceptible to reductions in their overall buckling loads as a result of cross-sectional distortion, the effect of elastic restraints, particularly against twist rotation, can lead to buckling modes in which the effect of distortion is quite severe. While the phenomenon has been studied previously for elastic lateral-distortional buckling, it is extended in this paper to include the constitutive relationship characteristics of mild steel, and incorporates both the so-called 'polynomial' and 'simplified' models of residual stresses. The method is validated against inelastic lateral-torsional buckling solutions reported in previous studies, and is applied to illustrate some inelastic buckling problems. It is noted that over a certain range of member slenderness the provisions of the Australian AS4100 steel standard are unconservative.

Submicron ${\alpha}-SiC$ powder with $Al_2O_3$ addition was hot-pressed under the controlled heating and pressurizing schedule. $SiO_2$ layer on ${\alpha}-SiC$ powder was effective for the sintering of ${\alpha}-SiC$ powder when $Al_2O_3$ was used as an additive. Applying of pressure under the controlled schedule accelerated the rearrangment of SiC grains, yielding 98% of theoretical density of SiC even at $1900^{\circ}C$. Flexural strength of the specimen containing 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ was increased as increasing the hot-pressing temperature up to $2050^{\circ}C$ and maximum value was 800 MPa, while the flexural strength of the specimen containing 10 wt% $Al_2O_3$ was decreased as increasing the hot-pressing temperature above $2000^{\circ}C$ due to the formation of continuous grain boundary phase. Fracture toughness of the specimens was in the range of $3.5~4.5\;MNm^{-3/2}$ regardless of the amount of $Al_2O_3$ addition.

Lovastatin은 근사형성 균류인 Aspergillus terreus가 생합성하는 이차대사산물로 강력한 고지혈증 치료제로 널리 이용되는 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 lovastatin 고생산변이주를 이용하여 포자배지 최적화를 통한 miniature 배양 방법을 확립하고자 하였다. 우선 miniature 배양에 필수적인 효과적인 포자 형성 방법을 개발하고자 포자 형성 배지의 통계학적 배지 최적화를 수행하였다. Miniature 배양의 inoculum으로 이용되는 대량의 포자를 획득하기 위해 Plackett-Burman 실험법을 이용하여 포자 형성을 향상시키는 성분을 조사한 결과, glucose, sucrose, yeast extract 그리고 $KH_2PO_4$가 주목할 만한 효과를 보였다. 상기 성분의 최적 농도를 확인하기 위해 반응표면분석법 (RSM)을 이용한 결과, PDA 포자 형성 배지와 비교하여 볼 때, 최적 성분 농도에서 포자 형성이 약 190배 증가하였다. 최적화된 포자형성 배지를 이용하여 lovastatin 고생산성 변이주의 대량 선별을 위한 miniature 배양 방법을 확립하기 위해 기존의 실험 과정에 'PaB (adaptation)'라는 한 번의 계대배양을 더 추가한 결과 생산균주의 안정성과 재현성이 큰 폭으로 증가하는 주목할 만한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 단기간에 가능한 한 다량의 균주를 스크리닝하기 위해 성장배양과 생산배양 모두 조업부피가 7 ml인 tube를 이용해 miniature 배양을 반복 수행하여, lovastatin 생산성과 배양형태가 훌륭한 변이주를 선별할 수 있었는데, 이 균주는 7 ml tube배양과 250 ml flask배양 (조업부피 50 ml) 모두에서 생산성이 높은 것으로 보아 산소 의존도가 비교적 낮고 생산 안정성이 높은 균주인 것으로 판단되었다. 한편 miniature 배양을 이용해서 lovastatin 고생산성을 보이는 균주를 신속 선별하기 위해서는 균주의 적절한 배양형태 유도가 매우 중요한 것으로 관찰되었다. 즉 생산배양으로의 고활성 균주의 접종을 위해서, 또한 생산배양에서 pellet의 배양형태 유도를 위해서 성장배양 시에는 반드시 고농도의 균사모양을, 생산배양 시에는 직경 1 mm 이하의 pellet모양의 배양 형태를 유지해야만, 생산균주가 lovastatin을 안정적으로 고생산할 수 있는 것으로 관찰되었다. 초기에 선별된 균주를 이용하여 miniature 배양에 의해 고속 균주선별 실험을 반복함으로써 고생산성 균주들을 다량 선별할 수 있었는데, 이들의 lovastatin 생산성을 조사한 결과, 기존의 flask 배양대비 오차범위가 $\pm$20% 이내의 생산성을 보이는 균주가 초기 선별시의 32%에 비해 81%로 크게 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 lovastatin 고생산성, 고안정성 균주의 고속 스크리닝을 위해서 본 연구에서 개발한 tube를 이용한 miniature 배양이 기존의 flask 배양을 대체할 수 있는 훌륭한 배양방법임을 제시해 준다.

Lodging is a serious issue in rice production, because it drastically decreases the biomass production and grain yield. Since the Green Revolution, the lodging resistance has been increased by lowering the moment of above-ground parts due to the short culm by the semi-dwarf gene sd1. However, it has been pointed out that sd1 alone has suppressive effects for biomass production and yield. To increase rice yield, the long-culm and large panicle type varieties with a superior lodging resistance need to be developed. To improve the lodging resistance and yield of these type varieties, it would be effective to identify novel alleles for these traits underlying natural variations in rice and to pyramid these alleles to a single rice variety. In order to perform this strategy, we have developed new rice lines derived from crosses among varieties with superior alleles. At first, TULT-gh-5-5 was selected from a cross between strong culm and high biomass variety Leaf Star and high-yielding variety Takanari, and TUAT-32HB was selected from a cross between high-yielding variety Akenohoshi and Takanari. Then, we developed the super thick-culm and super grain-bearing line, LTAT-29 derived from a cross between TULT-gh-5-5 and TUAT-32HB. In the current study, to identify the QTLs and genes relating to the strong culm and the high yield of LTAT-29, we performed QTL analysis using SNPs markers with $F_2$ population derived from a cross between LTAT-29 and Takanari. LTAT-29 has never lodged throughout the growth period despite it had long culms and heavy panicles. LTAT-29 had a larger outer diameter of the culm and twice the size of the section modulus than Takanari. As a result, the bending moment at breaking of LTAT-29 was significantly larger than that of Takanari. Brown rice yield of LTAT-29 was $9.2t\;ha^{-1}$ about 10% higher than that of Takanari due to the larger number of spikelets per panicle. LTAT-29 had a greater number of secondary branches per panicle. In the $F_2$ population between LTAT-29 and Takanari, we found continuous frequency distributions in the section modulus and the spikelet number per panicle. Two QTLs increased the section modulus by the alleles of LTAT-29 were detected on Chr.1L and Chr.2L. One QTL increased the spikelet number per panicle of Takanari by the allele of LTAT-29 was detected on Chr.1L, and two QTLs increased the number of secondary branches per panicle by the alleles of LTAT-29 were detected on Chr.1L and Chr.4L. It was found that the alleles of these QTLs were the japonica type originated from Leaf Star or Akenohoshi. The novel QTLs for the traits related to super thick-culm and super grain-bearing and their combinations could be utilized for improving the lodging resistance and yield in rice varieties.
