To fully understand shear mechanisms and composite effects of circular concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) columns, systematic numerical investigations were conducted in this paper by improved finite element models. The triaxial plastic-damage constitutive model of the concrete and the interactions between the concrete and steel tube were considered. Afterwards, the critical and upper bound shear span ratios of the circular CFST column under lateral shear loading were determined. The composite effects between the two materials were analyzed by comparing the shear resistance with plain concrete column and hollow steel tube. In addition, a method that predicts the shear bearing capacity of a circular CFST column was proposed. The confining effects on the concrete core and the restraining effects on the steel tube were considered in this method. The proposed formula can predict more accurate results than the methods in different codes and references.

Fly ash, plastic waste, and clay are mineral materials and residues commonly found in Malaysia. In this study, these materials were fully utilized as raw materials for synthesizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Recycled polypropylene, previously used as a food container, served as a carbon source. Fly ash and clay were explored as potential substrates for CNTs growth. The recycled polypropylene was thermally decomposed at 900 ℃ in an inert environment for 90 minutes. Carbon atoms released during this process were deposited on fly ash and clay substrates, which had been immersed in a ferrocene solution to provide a metal catalyst for CNTs growth. The deposited products were characterized using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Morphological analysis revealed that both fly ash and clay were coated with fiber-like structures, confirmed to be CNTs based on a diffraction peak around 26° from the XRD pattern. In conclusion, clay and fly ash demonstrate the potential to be utilized as substrates for CNTs formation.

The hydraulic anisotropic behavior of unsaturated soil has not been fully explored in relation to the grain-size distribution. The present study conducted laboratory assessments to examine the hydraulic anisotropy condition of statically compacted specimens in various initial states. The investigation incorporated the concept of hydraulic anisotropy by employing two discrete forms of soil stratification: horizontal-layering (HL) and vertical-layering (VL). The examined soils comprised sandy silt and silty sand, exhibiting either unimodal or bimodal soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC). This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between the hydraulic anisotropy ratio and soil properties. The present study established a correlation between the hydraulic anisotropy ratio and several soil parameters, including fine content, dry density, plastic limit, and liquid limit. The study results indicate a non-linear relationship between the percentage of fine and dry density in soils with unimodal and bimodal soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) and hydraulic anisotropy ratio.

The demand for flexible electronic systems such as wearable computers, E-paper, and flexible displays has increased due to their advantages of excellent portability, conformal contact with curved surfaces, light weight, and human friendly interfaces over present rigid electronic systems. This seminar introduces three recent progresses that can extend the application of high performance flexible inorganic electronics. The first part of this seminar will introduce a RRAM with a one transistor-one memristor (1T-1M) arrays on flexible substrates. Flexible memory is an essential part of electronics for data processing, storage, and radio frequency (RF) communication and thus a key element to realize such flexible electronic systems. Although several emerging memory technologies, including resistive switching memory, have been proposed, the cell-to-cell interference issue has to be overcome for flexible and high performance nonvolatile memory applications. The cell-to-cell interference between neighbouring memory cells occurs due to leakage current paths through adjacent low resistance state cells and induces not only unnecessary power consumption but also a misreading problem, a fatal obstacle in memory operation. To fabricate a fully functional flexible memory and prevent these unwanted effects, we integrated high performance flexible single crystal silicon transistors with an amorphous titanium oxide (a-TiO2) based memristor to control the logic state of memory. The $8{\times}8$ NOR type 1T-1M RRAM demonstrated the first random access memory operation on flexible substrates by controlling each memory unit cell independently. The second part of the seminar will discuss the flexible GaN LED on LCP substrates for implantable biosensor. Inorganic III-V light emitting diodes (LEDs) have superior characteristics, such as long-term stability, high efficiency, and strong brightness compared to conventional incandescent lamps and OLED. However, due to the brittle property of bulk inorganic semiconductor materials, III-V LED limits its applications in the field of high performance flexible electronics. This seminar introduces the first flexible and implantable GaN LED on plastic substrates that is transferred from bulk GaN on Si substrates. The superb properties of the flexible GaN thin film in terms of its wide band gap and high efficiency enable the dramatic extension of not only consumer electronic applications but also the biosensing scale. The flexible white LEDs are demonstrated for the feasibility of using a white light source for future flexible BLU devices. Finally a water-resist and a biocompatible PTFE-coated flexible LED biosensor can detect PSA at a detection limit of 1 ng/mL. These results show that the nitride-based flexible LED can be used as the future flexible display technology and a type of implantable LED biosensor for a therapy tool. The final part of this seminar will introduce a highly efficient and printable BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates. Energy harvesting technologies converting external biomechanical energy sources (such as heart beat, blood flow, muscle stretching and animal movements) into electrical energy is recently a highly demanding issue in the materials science community. Herein, we describe procedure suitable for generating and printing a lead-free microstructured BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator on plastic substrates to overcome limitations appeared in conventional flexible ferroelectric devices. Flexible BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator was fabricated and the piezoelectric properties and mechanically stability of ferroelectric devices were characterized. From the results, we demonstrate the highly efficient and stable performance of BaTiO3 thin film nanogenerator.

수중폭발을 받게 되는 해군 함정이나 충격하중을 받게 되는 초고속선의 구조에 대한 내충격 파손해석을 거시해석(global or macro analysis)과 미시해석(fine or micro analysis)의 두 단계로 나누어 수행하였다. 거시해석은 이중근사기법(DAA : Doubly Asymptotic Approximation)을 이용하였다. 심한 충격하중을 받는 구조는 주로 세 가지 파괴모드를 나타내는데 이는 충격후기에 주로 나타나는 동소성좌굴(Dynamic plastic buckling)에 기인하는 소성대변형과 충격초기에 주로 나타나는 인장 파괴(Tensile tearing failure)와 횡전단파괴(Transverse shear failure)가 있다. 본 논문의 미시해석에서는 잠수구조의 종보강재에 충격압력이 가해진 경우에 대하여 응력파(stress wave)의 파급과 이 응력파와 균열과의 상호작용에 의한 동적응력강도계수 $K_I(t)$의 계산함으로써 인장 파괴모드(Tensile tearing failure mode)해석을 수행하였다. 특히, 동적응력강도계수 $K_I(t)$의 계산에 있어서 실험적 방법으로 널리 사용되는 shadow optical method of caustic로부터 개발된 numerical caustic method를 사용하였다. 본 논문의 충격파손해석 수치 예로서 해석모델을 완전잠수주상체로 잡고 거시해석을 수행한 후 이로부터 구한 충격압력을 입력자료로 하여 종보강재에 대하여 미시해석을 수행하였다.

본 연구에서는 저온기에 참외재배 단동 플라스틱 온실에서 지붕 환기팬을 이용하여 환기할 때 작물에 스트레스를 적게 주면서 바깥 공기를 하우스 내부로 균일하게 유입할 수 있는 방법으로 하우스 전체길이에 대해 측창안쪽부분에 비닐을 부착하는 방법을 개발하였다. 지면으로부터 측창이 최대한 열렸을 때 높이의 10cm 아래까지 비닐을 설치하였다. 측창 개선에 의한 온실 환경 개선 및 참외 수량증대 효과를 검증하기 위하여 개선 측창형태와 관행의 측창형태를 비교하였다. 2017년 2월 25일 까지는 두 시험구 모두 환기를 하지 않았는데, 2월 중순 하우스 내 기온이 $40^{\circ}C$를 넘어섰다. 따라서 2월 중순부터는 하우스 환기를 시작해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 대조구에서의 기온이 4월 하순부터 $30^{\circ}C$를 넘어섰다. 그러므로 측창 안쪽에 부착한 비닐을 4월 하순, 늦어도 5월 상순에는 제거해야 할 것으로 판단된다. 4월 중순에 처리구에서의 지온은 생육 적온 범위인 $20^{\circ}C$를 넘어선데 비해 대조구에서는 여전히 $20^{\circ}C$보다 낮게 나타났다. 4월 하순이 되어서야 대조구의 지온도 $20^{\circ}C$를 넘어서는 것으로 나타났다. 전기사용량은 처리구 47.2kWh, 대조구 48.3kWh로 처리 간에 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 처리구에서의 참외 상품수량은 5,094kg으로 대조구 4,113kg에 비해 23.9% 많았다. 상품과율은 처리구 73.5%, 대조구 73.9%로 차이가 없었다.

팽창형 강관 록볼트의 설치 전 단면 형상은 ${\Omega}$형이어서, 팽창 중 거동은 기하학적 비선형 특성을 보인다. 기존 팽창형 강관 록볼트의 정착 거동에 관한 연구는 주로 이론적 방법이었다. 하지만 이론적 방법은 팽창형 강관 록볼트의 등방 팽창을 가정하므로, 실제 거동을 지나치게 단순화하였다. 본 연구에서는 강관 팽창 거동의 비선형성과 다양한 영향 특성을 고려한 수치해석을 이용하여, 팽창형 강관 록볼트의 정착 거동을 모사하였다. 본 해석을 통해 강관의 팽창 과정, 접촉응력 분포, 평균 접촉 응력 및 접촉 면적의 변화를 분석하였다. 암반의 탄소성 조건에 따라 강관의 접촉응력이 다르게 나타났는데, 탄성 조건의 암반에 설치된 강관에 비해 탄소성 조건의 암반에 설치된 강관에서 작은 접촉응력이 발생했다. 또한 암반의 강성에 따라 팽창형 강관 록볼트의 정착 거동이 달라졌다. 주어진 해석 조건에서 암반 강성이 0.5 GPa 이하 일 때 강관은 완전히 펴지지만, 암반 강성이 0.5 GPa보다 클 때 완전히 펴지지 않았다. 강관이 완전히 펴진 경우 암반 강성이 증가함에 따라 접촉응력의 크기가 증가했지만, 강관이 완전히 펴지지 않은 경우 암반 강성이 증가함에 따라 접촉응력의 크기가 감소했다.

기존 강구조 모멘트연성골조시스템의 기둥-보 접합부는 노스리지 지진과 고베 지진시 충분한 내진성능을 발휘하지 못하고 접합부에서 취성파괴가 발생하였다. 본 논문은 기존 접합부의 형상을 변화하여 H형강보 웨브의 고장력볼트 전단접합과 H형 플랜지의 리브보강 유무를 변수로 한 실대형 실험을 실시하였다. 실험목적은 보웨브의 2면전단접합으로 고장력 볼트수 감소와 시공성 향상을 기대하며, 리브플레이트 보강을 통해 내진성능을 향상시키고자 한다. H형강 보웨브의 2면전단접합과 리브플레이트로 보강한 접합부 실험결과, 기존 접합부보다 초기강성, 에너지 소산능력 및 소성회전능력이 높게 나타났으며, 내력상승률 및 변형능력은 전단탭의 위치로 인해 인장측과 압축측이 다소 차이를 보이고 있으나 전체적으로 우수한 내진성능을 나타냈다. 그리고 모든 시험체가 층간변위비 4%, 총소성회능력 약 0.029rad이상 및 접합부 최대내력이 원단면보 전소성모멘트의 약 130% 이상을 상회하여 중급모멘트연성골조이상의 설계가 가능하리라 사료된다.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is the most common malignant salivary gland tumor which compromises about 6$\sim$8% of all tumors followed by the adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) and adenocarcinoma. Most deaths from salivary carcinomas are caused by recurrent or metastatic lesions that are resistant to conventional therapy. Therefore, knowledge of cellular properties and tumor-host interactions that influence the vascular metastasis is important for the design of more effective therapy of salivary carcinomas. Neoangiogenesis is essential for tumor growth, which is postulated to be fundamentally dependent on the induction of stromal neovascularization. However, how neovascularization takes place in live tissue has not been fully established, especially in recruitment and differentiation of endothelial cells in the salivary gland tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a heparin-binding, dimeric polypeptide growth factor known to exert its mitogenic activity specifically on endothelial cells. VEGF has been shown th be directly involved in angiogenesis, which in essential for the pathogenesis of many solid tumors. von Willebrand factor (vWF) is a large multimeric protein synthesized by megakaryocytes and endothelial cells that enable platelets to adhere to exposed subendothelium and, as well, to respond to changes in the blood flow. Recent studies suggest that increased levels of vWF correlate with progression of disease, metastasis, or survival time and thus may have a prognostic significance. vWF is explained as an acute phase proteins which is increased in cancer or as a result of increased endothelial cell synthesis associated with tumor-induced angiogenesis. Due to adhesive properties of vWF, its increased concentrations may also contribute metastasis of tumor. In this study, we determined the mRNA expression of VEGF and vWF in salivary ACC, MEC and pleomorphic adenoma by in situ hybridization. As a result, stronger expression of VEGF and vWF was seen in salivary ACC and MEC which has more invasive nature than the salivary benign tumor.

A 73-year-old Korean female patient with a fully edentulous mandible was planned to have five implant fixtures installed in the anterior mandible for the fixed prosthesis. After 3-dimensional (3D) computed tomographic scanning was transferred to OnDemand3D$^{(R)}$ (Cybermed Co., Seoul, Korea) software program for the virtual planning, five fixtures of MK III Groovy RP implants of Branemark System$^{(R)}$ (Nobel Biocare AB Co., Goteborg, Sweden) were installed in the anterior mandible between both mental foramens using In2Guide$^{(R)}$ (CyberMed Co., Seoul, Korea) mucosa-supported surgical template with Quick Guide Kit$^{(R)}$ (Osstem Implant Co., Seoul, Korea) systems. Fixture installations were completed successfully without any complications, such as mental nerve injury, bony bleedings, fenestrations and other unexpected events. Postoperative computed tomographic scans were aligned and fused to the planned implant, then angular and linear deviations were compared with the planned virtual implants. The mean angular deviation between the planned and actual implant axes was $3.42{\pm}1.336^{\circ}$. The mean distance between the planned and actual implant at the neck area was $0.544{\pm}0.290$ mm horizontally and $0.118{\pm}0.079$ mm vertically. The average distance between the planned and actual implant at the apex area was $1.166{\pm}0.566$ mm horizontally and $0.14{\pm}0.091$ mm vertically. These results could be considered more precise and accurate than previous reports, and even our recent results. The entire procedures of this case are reported and reviewed.
