This study focuses on design tendencies in office buildings of public institutions after tightening up Korea's building energy performance criteria. Important office design criteria and recommendations pay attention to the issues such as building orientation, greening buildings, building form, space and envelop by intensifying building energy performance related laws, government guidelines and evaluation systems. The design tendencies explored in this research are as follows. Office buildings mainly face south and have various types of indoor and roof green spaces not for ecological reasons but for the rest. Building depth becomes thinner and atria are inserted into office buildings to improve daylighting and natural ventilation. Building cores are located on north or west and east sides acting as buffer spaces to reduce heat loss and to block solar radiation. Office building envelop design includes various creative ideas to control or utilize solar energy as like three dimensional or double structured skin and window size variation to cope with the intensity of solar radiation. Further, solar energy generation systems are integrated with building component such as roofs, sun screens and windows. This study demonstrates that government's reinforcement of the building energy performance criteria drives the change in design methods and approach.

Caltech's Linde-Robinson Laboratory was originally built in 1932 featuring a Spanish mission-style design, whose function was to facilitate a solar observatory with a coelostat solar telescope dome and a solar shaft extending from the roof to more than 36.58m below the ground. The building has now been transformed into a cutting-edge center for research and instruction in global environmental science that retains its original character while setting new standards in energy efficiency and green design. It is the first LEED Platinum lab in the USA for renovation of a historical research building, consuming only one-sixth of the energy that the lab's comparable laboratories do. This work introduces various energy and environmental strategies hired for its sustainable rehabilitation and, especially, examines the functional validity of solar telescope daylighting by a coelostat. Observations were made on the llumination of underground floors, where illuminances of 40~50 lx were measured.

We investigated the reproductive behavior of Octopus minor, order Octopoda, class Cephalopoda under laboratory conditions. Each mature female octopus was kept in an aquarium with a plastic tube for shelter, and one mature male was introduced for the purpose of copulation. Before spawning, the female coated the roof of the shelter with a light-green material, upon which it then fixed its eggs one by one. This spawning behavior lasted 1 to 3 days. Fertilized females spawned 54 eggs on average, ranging from 21 to 112 eggs at 72 to 98 days after copulation. The attached eggs were 18.1-19.0 mm in length, 5.0-6.1 mm in width, and 0.30-0.38 g in weight. The mother octopods did not feed; they attended to the eggs by using their arms to rub the egg surfaces and used their funnel to blow sediments off of the eggs. At water temperatures of $20.9-21.5^{\circ}C$, the fertilized eggs hatched within 73 to 90 days after being spawned. The effective cumulative water temperature was $1,569-1,892^{\circ}C$. At the end of incubation, the body weight of the mother octopods was reduced to approximately 56% of the initial weight, and most mother octopods died soon after the young hatched.

This paper aims at developing the knowledge on the seismic behavior of dowel beam-to-column connections, typically employed in precast buildings in Europe. Despite the large diffusion of the industrial buildings, a high seismic vulnerability was exhibited by these structures, mostly due to the connection systems deficiencies, during some recent earthquakes (Emilia 2012, Turkey 2011). An experimental campaign was conducted on a typical dowel connection between an external column and a roof beam. In this paper, the performed cyclic shear test is described. According to the experimental results, the seismic response of the system is evaluated in terms of strength, stiffness and failure mechanism. Moreover, the complete damage pattern of the test is described by means of the instrumentations records. The connection failure occurred due to the concrete cover failure in the column (splitting failure). Such a mechanism corresponds to a negligible energy dissipation capacity of the connection, compared to the overall seismic response of the structure. The experimental results are also compared with the results of a similar monotonic shear test, as well as with some literature relationships for predicting the strength of dowel connections under horizontal (seismic) loads.

Energy conversion soda-lime-silica glasses doped with Eu3+ were produced and they were used to build small scale modules of $100\times100cm$ simulating the roof of glass house with which the rearing state of a small number of young and grown vegetables was observed. The vegetables selected for the study were eggplant, kale, and pimento. The width and length of their leaves along with the photosynthesized ability and chlorophyl content were measured to observe the growing state of the vegetables in the given periods of time. It was found that the vegetables grown under the photo-conversion glass made panels had higher values of the leaf width and length by 5 to 30% than them under the commercially available ordinary glass panels depending on the kind of vegetables. The photosynthesized abilities were also shown much higher for the vegetables under the conversion glass panels than for the non-conversion ones.

최근 비정상성을 띄는 강우 사상으로 인해 도심지에서는 유출량이 증가하여 많은 피해를 보이고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 투수성 포장재, 옥상 녹화, 침투 트렌치, 빗물 정원 등의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이를 유역에 속해 있는 전체 도심지에 적용하기에는 많은 자원이 소비된다. 이에 본 연구는 서울시의 청계천 유역을 대상으로 강우유출 모형인 SWMM을 이용하여 소유역 별로 투수성 포장재와 옥상 녹화 사업을 적용하여 유출저감 효과를 분석하였다. 적용된 강우는 강우강도에 따라 각 시설들이 갖는 한계점을 분석하기 위해 서울(108) 지점을 기준으로 재현기간 80년, 지속기간 24시간에 대해 초과확률 50%에 해당하는 Huff 3분위를 채택하였고, 투수성 포장재와 옥상녹화는 서로 적용 위치가 달라 두 가지 사업의 조합을 통해 각각의 효과를 분석하였다. 또한 사업 우선순위를 위해 소유역별 사회, 환경적인 자료를 취합하여 우선순위화 하였다. 이를 통해 한정된 자원 내에서 최적의 개발 지역을 선정하여 최대한의 효과를 도모하고자 한다.

Hospital architecture must be planned as a therapeutic space. Numerous studies have proven that exposure to nature has a healing effect. However, research on the architecture itself about this issue is still insufficient. This study analyzed Le Corbusier's Venice hospital project and its architectural configurations with nature. Le Corbusier had been interested in blurring the interior/exterior line to draw nature inside. In his projects, nature was conceived in an abstract sense as "something green." However, in the hospital project, natural elements including vegetation, the lagoon, and light, and the landscape scenery they created, were considered in the harmony of the architectural space. The architectural spaces with courtyards, pilotis, and roof gardens provided views and direct access to nature, and in the interior spaces, the connections to these external spaces and the permeation of views of nature and sunlight were incorporated. Many spaces provided the possibility to actually encounter nature, with a variety of indoor/outdoor space configurations rather than a merely passive placing of some natural elements. This project is considered to be an important reference for contemporary hospital architecture, since the architectural space and nature connected through various spatial configurations also in healthcare programs. As Le Corbusier emphasized, sunlight, vegetation, and also architectural space should be an essential factor in therapeutic hospital architecture planning.

The rocks of the five storied stone pagoda in the Jeongrimsaji temple site are 149 materials in total with porphyritic biotite granodiorite. They include pegmatite veinlet, basic xenolith and evenly developed plagioclase porphyry. This stone pagoda has comparably small fracture and cracks which are farmed in the times of rock properties, but surface exfoliation and granular decomposition are in process actively since the rocks are generally weakened from the influence of air contaminants and acid rain. Structural instability of constituting rocks in the 4th roof materials are observed to occur from distortion and tilt. Such instability is judged to threat stability of the upper part of the stone pagoda. Also, chemical weathering is operating even more as the contaminants, ferro-manganese hydroxides eluted from water-rock interaction on the rock surface. Most of the rock surface is covered with yellowish brown, dark black and light gray contaminants, and especially occur in the lower part of the roof rocks on each floor. The roof underpinning rocks are severe in surface pigmentation from manganese hydroxides and light gray contaminants. The surface of rocks lives bacteria. algae, lichen, or moss and diverse productions in colors of light gray, dark Bray and dark green. Grayish white crustose lichen grows thick on the surface with darkly discolored by fungi and algae in the first stage on basement rocks, and weeds grows wild on the upper part of each roof rocks. This stone pagoda must closely observe the movements of the upper part rock materials through minute safety diagnosis and long term monitoring for structural stability. Especially since the surface discoloration of rocks and pigmentation of secondary contaminants are severe, establishment of general restoration and scientific conservation treatment are necessary through more detailed study for this stone pagoda.
