  • Cesium and strontium are two important fission products and the removal/speciation of these two cations with several inorganic/bio-materials is an interesting topic to discuss. It is to be noted that inorganic materials are found to be fairly effective and efficient in the removal/speciation of these cations. Moreover, these solids are to be found promising as they show fairly good radiation and temperature stability. Hence, they play an important role in the radioactive waste management studies. However, various studies reveal that in addition to inorganic materials various biosorbents can also be employed in the removal/speciation of these ions. But the radiation and temperature stability of these bio-sorbents and dead biomasses are still the topic lying among the researchers to be investigated.

  • Calculations are presented for the structures of various conformers of the bare proline and proline –($H_2O$) cluster. The effects of hydrogen bonding with a water molecule on the relative stability of the low energy conformers of proline are examined. Microsolvation by a water molecule is predicted to affect the relative stability, structures and the infrared frequencies of the conformers to a large degree.

  • This paper describes the theoretical background and underlying principles behind the American Institute of Steel Construction Load and Resistance Factor Design (AISC LRFD) Specification for the analysis and stability design of steel frames. Various analysis procedures that can take into consideration the effects of member instability, frame instability, member-frame interaction, geometric imperfections, and inelasticity are reviewed. Design approaches by which these factors can be incorporated in the design of steel moment frames are addressed. Current specification guidelines for member and frame design in the U.S. are summarized. Examples are given to illustrate the validity of the design equations. Some future directions for the analysis and stability design of steel frames are discussed.

  • In order to evaluate the static stability of hybrid carbody structures of Korean Tilting Train eXpress(TTX) caused by degradation of composites under ground environments, T300/AD6005 graphite/epoxy composite specimens were exposed to accelerated environmental conditions including ultraviolet radiation, temperature and moisture fer 2000 hours. It was found that the stiffness and strength of composites after aging were lower than those of unexposed specimens, and decreased as the aging time increases. The values of the degraded properties were used in the static analysis to check the static stability of hybrid carbody structures caused by environmental degradation of composites. The results shown that the structural stability of hybrid carbody structures was affected by the degradation of composites after exposure to accelerated aging environments.

  • The diffusion of the pollutants released into atmosphere is dependent on its chemical reaction, topography and micrometeorological characteristics. The purpose of the study is to investigate how much micrometeorological characteristics such as stability, wind speed and mixing height affect the diffusion of the air pollutants. For this purpose, this paper let 1) the basic theory be K-theory, 2) eddy diffusivity and wind speed be dependent on mixing height and stability, and 3) Grout method be used for numeric calculation. The result was 1) the more unstable condition, the higher mixing height and the higher wind speed we, the lower pollutants concentration appears, 2) the most intensive effect on the distribution of the pollutant concentration is the atmospheric stability.

  • Armor block is used to reduce wave energy. To do this, the stability of coastal structure is enhanced. It is very expensive to develop a new type armor block. So, the research of new type armor block is very short. We develope truncated tetrahedron type armor block(new type block) which have a hole in center part. In this study, the stability of new type armor block is investigated by hydraulic model test. In the result, the stability coefficient($K_D$) of new type armor block is 11.8. this value is more superior than value of tetrapod.

  • N,N-bis(2-salicylaldehyde)dipropylenetriamine(5- Hsaldipn), N,N-bis( 5-bromosalicyl-aldehyde) dipropylenetriamine (5-Brsaldipn), N,N-bis(5-chlorosalicy laldehyde )dipropylene-triamine(5-Clsaldipn), N,N-bis(2-hydroxy- $5-methoxy-benzaldehyde)dipropylenetriamine(5-OCH_3saldipn)$ and N,N-bis (2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde)dipropylenetriamine $(5-NO_2saldipn)$ were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectrometry, NMR spectrometry and mass spectrometry. Their proton dissociation constants were determined in 70% dioxane/30% water solution by potentiometric. Stability constants of the complexes between these ligands and the metal ions such as Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) were measured in dimethyl sulfoxide by a polarographic method. Stability constants for the ligands were in the order of $5-OCH_3$ > 5-H > 5-Br > 5-Cl > $5-NO_2$ saldipn. Enthalpy and entropy changes were obtained in negative values.

  • In this study, a documentary survey, face mapping, and stability analysis were performed on the collapsed colluvial soil slope. The purpose of this paper is to identify the cause of slope failure and determine slope stability for similar areas. Boring samples were extracted from the slump and laboratory tests were performed to find out the cause of slope failure. In addition, the limit equilibrium method was used in order to determine the stability of the slope. As a result of this investigation and the analysis of data, the type of collapse and cause of slope failure have been shown to have a strong correlation with the natural geographical and geological features which make up the collapse profile of the study area. These results will help to develop guidelines for formulating countermeasure methods.

  • The thermal buckling analysis of curved continuous welded rail (CWR) is studied for the lateral buckling prevention. This study includes a thermal buckling theory which accounts for both thermal and vehicle loading effects in the evaluation of track stability. The parameters include rail size, track lateral resistance, track longitudinal and torsional stiffnesses, initial misalignment amplitude and wavelength, track curvature, tie-ballast friction coefficient and truck center spacing. Parametric studies are performed to evaluate the effects of the individual parameters on the upper and lower critical buckling temperatures. The results show that the upper critical buckling temperature is highly affected by the uplift due to vehicle loads. This study provides a guideline for the improvement of stability for dynamic buckling in curved CWR track.

  • The stability analysis of coronal magnetic structures is important for studying the initiation of solar flares and eruptions. In order to understand the flare onset process, we first reconstructed the 3D coronal magnetic structures of active region 12371 with an M6.5 flare using a nonlinear force-free field (NLFFF) model based on vector magnetic fields. The NLFFFs successfully produce the observed sigmoidal structure which is composed of two branches of sheared arcade loops. The stability analysis were examined for three representative MHD instabilities: the kink, the torus, and the double arc instabilities. Our stability analysis shows that the two branches of sheared arcade loops are quite stable against the kink and torus instabilities, but unstable against the double arc instability before the flare occurrence. Finally, we discuss a probable onset process of the M6.5 flare.
