Eucalyptus pellita is one of the fast-growing tree species and has become predominant in Indonesian forest plantations. Meanwhile, tree breeding programs with clone development are the best way to provide greater genetic advantages. A better understanding of genetic control on growth and basic density in E. pellita is important for increasing wood productivity and quality. In this study, growth characteristics (tree height, diameter, and volume), basic density and its genetic parameters (heritability, genetic gain and genetic correlation) were determined. The number of clones tested in both trials was 50, divided into 5 blocks, and 5 trees/plot. The results showed that there were significant differences in growth and basic density among clones. There was an interaction between genetics and the environment further indicating the existence of unstable clones. The high heritability was found in tree height (0.82-0.86), diameter (0.82-0.90), and basic density (0.91-0.93). This implies that E. pellita has good opportunities for genetic improvement to increase wood productivity and quality. In addition, the results of genetic correlations among growth characteristics (height, diameter, and volume) and basic density showed positive moderate to highly significant value. It is suggested that these characters may be used to the advantage of the breeder for bringing improvement in these traits simultaneously. Therefore, this study provides important information of the genetic improvement of wood quality in E. pellita in Indonesia.

In order to study the shearing characteristics of anti-vibration sheet metal which has been bonded by resin, a blanking die of 40.02mm was manufactured to blank a material and it is used to reduce vibrational noise. The variables employed in this study were 1) Clearance 2) types of stripper plate, and 3) types of the die design technique. These variables were used to study the effects on burr height, diameter of product, and camber height. Lastly, the effect of the position of the rubber during blanking was observed. In the case of burr height from experimental investigation, the push-back die, combined with a movable stripper plate, resulted in the concentration of additional pressure between the cutting edges, meaning the crack initiation was delayed. This result was not affected by lubrication, although appropriate lubrication is preferred to enable a longer lasting die in terms of wear, which results from the presence of adhesive as the sheet metal is blanked. In the comparison of diameter measurement, the push-back die, combined with the back pressure from the knock-out plate showed a favorable precision. The use of the push back die with a fixed stripper plate, with a $4.5\%$ clearance, showed better accuracy in the diameter measurement. For comparing camber height, the push back die resulted in less cambering than the drop-through die. Also, the larger the clearance, the greater was the camber height. Considering experimental results, the shearing of anti-vibrational sheet metal is best achieved when the rubber is laying on the top, blanked with a fixed-stripper plate in a push-back die, with a $4.5\%$ clearance.

The importance of forests and trees in climate change mitigation and soil nutrient cycling cannot be overemphasized. This study assessed the above-ground carbon stock of two exotic and two indigenous tree species - Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis, Khaya grandifoliola and Nauclea diderrichii and their litter impact on soil nutrient content of an arboretum within the University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Data were collected from equal sample plots from the four species' compartments. Tree growth variables including total height, diameter at breast height, crown height, crown diameter and merchantable height were measured for the estimation of above-ground carbon stock. Soil samples were collected from a depth of 0-30 cm from each compartment and analyzed for particle size distribution, organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, exchangeable bases, exchangeable acidity, cation exchange capacity, base saturation, pH, Manganese, Iron, Copper and Zinc. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test for significant difference (p<0.05) in the carbon contents of the four species and the soil nutrient contents of the different species' compartments. Pearson correlation was used to assess the relationships between the carbon contents, growth parameters and soil parameters. The highest and lowest carbon stock per hectare was observed for G. arborea (151.52 t.ha^-1) and K. grandifoliola (45.45 t.ha^-1) respectively. Cation exchange capacity and base saturation were highest and lowest for soil under G. arborea and K. grandifoliola respectively. The pH was highest and lowest for soil under G. arborea and T. grandis respectively. Carbon stock correlated positively with dbh, crown diameter, merchantable height and Zn and negatively with base saturation. The study revealed that G. arborea and N. diderrichii can effectively be used for reforestation and afforestation programmes aimed at climate change mitigation across Nigeria. Therefore, policies to encourage and enhance their planting should be encouraged.

고체 수송관(standpipe, 내경 0.025 m)으로 연결된 2 단 기포 유동층(내경 0.1 m, 높이1.2 m)에서 붕괴 속도에 대한 하단 층 높이의 영향을 조사하였다. 기체로는 공기를 사용하였고, 고체로는 입도가 큰 입자(< $1000{\mu}m$, 겉보기 밀도 $3625kg/m^3$)와 입도가 작은 입자(< $147{\mu}m$, 겉보기 밀도 $4079kg/m^3$)를 혼합한 입자를 사용하였다. 작은 입자의 혼합비, 하단 유동층의 층 높이, 상단 유동층 분산판을 실험 변수로 고려하였다. 붕괴 속도는 하단 유동층의 정체 층 높이가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 그러나 작은 입도의 혼합비가 증가하면 이 효과가 감소하였다. 이 효과는 층 높이 증가에 따른 고체 수송관 압력 강하의 증가 때문이 아니라, 수송관 출구를 막는 농후상 굵은 입자 층 높이의 증가 때문으로 보였다. 상단 유동층 분산판 압력 강하의 증가는 붕괴 속도를 조금 감소시켰다. 붕괴 속도를 예측하는 개선된 상관식을 제안하였다.

본 연구는 5차 국가산림자원조사(National Forest Inventory, NFI) 표본점 자료를 이용하여 충청도 지역에 분포하는 주요 수종에 대한 수고-흉고직경 생장모델을 개발하고자 하였다. 충청도 지역 고정표본지 내에서 수고와 흉고직경이 측정된 주요 수종의 총 임목 본수는 2,681본이었으며, 무작위로 생장모델의 개발을 위해 90% 자료와 모델 타당성 검정을 위해 10% 자료로 나누어서 분석하였고, 본 연구에서 제시된 최종모형의 추정된 계수는 100% 자료를 이용하였다. 8개 주요 수종에 대한 생장모델들의 적합성 검정은 결정계수($R^2$), 추정치의 오차인 평균제곱근오차(RMSE), 평균편의(MD), 절대평균편의(AMD)와 직경급별로 평균편의(MD)를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면, 6개 주요 생장식의 결정계수는 모두 94% 이상의 높은 설명력을 나타냈으며, 특히 C-R 생장모델과 Weibull 생장모델은 다른 모델에 비해 좋은 결과를 나타냈다. 직경급 30 cm 이하에서는 소나무, 리기다소나무, 굴참나무, 신갈나무가 상대적으로 가장 작은 평균편의를 나타낸 반면, 직경급 30 cm 이상에서는 신갈나무, 상수리나무, 졸참나무가 큰 평균편의를 나타냈다. 또한 본 연구의 결과로 제시된 6개 주요 생장식에서 추정한 수고를 임목자원평가 프로그램에 적용하여 간재적을 분석한 결과, 직경급 30 cm까지는 큰 차이를 보이지 않지만, 30 cm 이상인 대경목의 경우 추정된 간재적은 큰 차이를 보이므로, 생장모델 선정에 주의를 기울여야 한다.

Purpose: Several methods of the nipple reduction have been reported. However, the methods described previously are difficult or have some demerits. This study proposes a simple technique for reduction of the nipple height as well as diameter. Methods: The purposed nipple height is marked. A pentahedral design of excision was marked around the nipple. Local anesthetic solution was infiltrated and a 4 - 0 Nylon traction suture was applied at the nipple apex. Excision of the nipple inside both two triangles and a rectangle was made. Remaining two flaps were approximated using 5 - 0 Nylon simple interrupted sutures. However, a part of wound closure was not done in the central area of the nipple. Results: 83 patients(166 nipples) underwent this procedure from December 1999 to December 2008. Follow up ranged from 6 months to 2 years with a mean of 10 months. 78 patients were female and 5 patients were male. No major complication occurred and remaining scars were very inconspicuous. Conclusion: This simple technique has the advantage of nipple reduction in both height and diameter, and provides good aesthetic outcomes.

Stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) is an alternative material for strengthening of structural elements similar to fiber reinforced polymer (FRP). Finite element (FE) method based Numerical investigation for evaluation of axial strength of SSWM strengthened plain cement concrete (PCC) and reinforced cement concrete (RCC) columns is presented in this paper. PCC columns of 200 mm diameter with height 400 mm, 800 mm and 1200 mm and RCC columns of diameter 200 mm with height of 1200 mm with different number of SSWM wraps are considered for study. The effect of concrete grade, height of column and number of wraps on axial strength is studied using finite element based software ABAQUS. The results of numerical simulation are compared with experimental study and design guidelines specified by ACI 440.2R-08 and CNR-DT 200/2004. As per numerical analysis, an increase in axial capacity of 15.69% to 153.95% and 52.39% to 109.06% is observed for PCC and RCC columns respectively with different number of SSWM wraps.
