One of the most important requirements for reinforced concrete constructions is the bond behavior between concrete and reinforcement. For practical application, it is very important to study bond behavior of reinforcing bars in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Thirty six pull-out tests were carried out in order to investigate the bond behaviour between recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RCAC) and deformed bars. RCA replacement ratios (i.e., 0%, 30%, 60% and 100%) and positions of deformed bar (i.e., vertical and horizontal position) were considered as variables in this paper. Each specimen was in the form of a cube, with edges of 150 mm in length and for the pull-out tests, a deformed bar, 13 mm in diameter, was embedded in the center of each specimen. Based on the test results, the bond strength between the RCAC and deformed bars were influenced by both RCA replacement ratios and positions of deformed bars. It was found that under the equivalent mix proportion (i.e., the mix proportions are the same, except for different RCA replacement ratios), the bond strength between the RCAC and the ribbed bar has no obvious relation with the RCA replacement ratio, whereas the positions of deformed bars have a significant effect on the bond behavior between the RCAC and deformed bars. Under the condition of same RCA replacement ratio, the specimen of horizontal reinforcement at upper position (HU type) appear considerably low bond stress.

An intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion of somatostatin 1-28 (SRIF) was used as a thirst-controlling peptide antagonist to investigate whether or not thirst-controlling peptides are involved in the significant decrease in feed intake during the initial stages of feeding large-type goats on dry forage. A continuous ICV infusion of SRIF was conducted at a small dose of $4{\mu}g$ ml/h for 27 h from day 1 to day 2. Goats (n = 5) were fed roughly crushed alfalfa hay cubes for 2 h twice daily and water was given ad libitum. Feed intake was measured during ICV infusion of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) and SRIF. The feed intake during SRIF infusion increased significantly compared to that during ACSF infusion. In comparison to the ACSF treatment, plasma osmolality during the SRIF treatment significantly decreased during the first half of the 2 h feeding period. The factor causing the decrease in plasma osmolality during the ICV infusion of SRIF was a decrease in plasma Na, K, Cl, and Mg concentrations. In comparison to the ACSF infusion treatment, parotid saliva secretion volumes during the 2 h feeding period in the SRIF infusion treatment were significantly larger. While there was no significant difference in cumulative water intake (thirst levels) between the SRIF and the ACSF treatments upon conclusion of the 2 h feeding period, based on the plasma osmolality results it is thought that thirst level increases brought about by alfalfa hay cube feeding in the first half of the feeding period were reduced. It is thought that the somatostatin-induced increases in feed intake during the 2 h feeding period in the present experiment were caused by decreases in plasma osmolality brought about by the somatostatin infusion. As a result, it is suggested that the significant decrease in feed intake during the initial stages of feeding in large-type goats given roughly crushed alfalfa hay cubes, was due to the actions of thirst-controlling peptides.

The influence of basalt fibres on the compressive strength of the geopolymer type binders has been studied. For the experiments 2 types of the basalt fibres were used, namely chopped and spooled fibres. Both types of basalt fibres were 7-10 micron thick in diameter and cut into pieces of 6 mm length. The fibres were mixed with 1% weight to the fly ash powder, followed by the addition of the activator solution (8M NaOH). The pastes obtained were cured at $70^{\circ}C$ for 20 h revealing compact bodies. Compressive strength was measured after 7 days and microstructure observation performed with SEM. The cube bodies ($2{\times}2{\times}2cm$) reveal compressive strength of 47.25(4.03) MPa, while it decreased to 34.0(9.05) MPa in spooled basalt fibres and to 17.33(5.86) MPa in the chopped basalt fibres containing binder, i.e 76% and 36% of the strength without fibres, respectively. The much weaker compressive strength of the chopped fibres containing binder is related to the absence of significant adhesion between the geopolymer binder and the basalt fibres, forming voids instead. Alkali leaching effect of basalt fibres could probably explain the drop in the compressive strength with spooled and chopped fibres, respectively.

발포금속은 1948년에 Sosnik에 의해 알루미늄에 수은을 증발시키는 방법으로 발포 알루미늄을 제조한 이래, 1951년 Elliot에 의해 진보된 방식인 발포 매개체를 용탕에혼입하는 방법으로 발포금속을 제조하기 시작하였다. 현재 이들 선진국가의 생산방법 및 현황은 균질 기공의 조절, 연속주조 방식과 원가절감, 그리고 제조기술의 진보를 통하여 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 실용화를 위해서는 요구특성을 만족하고 동시에 가격 경쟁력을 가진 제조기술의 보유 및 개발과 독특한 특성을활용한 새로운 적용 분야의 개척이 필요하다고 생각되며, 이를 위해 Harvard, MIT, Aachen, HMI 등 구미 유수 대학과 NASA, 미국방성등의 연구기관, ERG, 신강(新鋼) wire등 산업체를 중심으로제조 및 특성평가에 관한 기초연구와 활용방안이 활발히 모색중에 있다. 그리고 일부 자동차 생산 업체를중심으로 발포금속을 적용한 초경량, 에너지 절감형의 자동차 부품 소재,항공기 방열판 등에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 특히 금속 기체의 GASAR 공법은 Lotus 공법으로 Osaka 대학에서 개발되어 열교환기, 항공기, 방열기 등으로 응용이 확대되고 있다 국내에서 완제품생산은 실내장식용 복합패널로서 한소 프라임이 운영상의 문제로 생산을 중단하였으며, 유닉슨(주), 금강(주)에서 Batch식, 금성산업에서 Pot식이 일부 생산 및 연구가 진행되었으나 현재는 본연구실의 협조로 (주) 폼텍에서 발포패널을 주로 생산하고 있고 (주)드림메탈과 (주)아크로폼텍에서일부 생산되고, (주)동일알루미늄에서는 폐 scrap을 이용한 발포 Al 제조가 연구단계에 있다. 생기원에서는 분말 가열 흡음패널이 개발되었으나 강도와 내열성이 낮아 이들 특성을 향상시크는 연구가 진행중이다. 이들 제품은 성능상으로는 동양강판의 흡음패널과 KIMM의 필터용은연구개발이 낮은 수준이며, 본 연구팀과 공동 개발한 (주)폼텍의 복합패널은 10여 가지의 실용특허로 건축마감재로서 오히려 선진국수준을능가한 상태이다, 한편, 발포금속 기능성 개발은, 이들이 가지고 있는 우수한 특성 때문에 군수용으로부터 민수 산업용까지 전분야에 적용이 가능한 소재이므로 수요처를확장하고 있으므로 제품의 균질성, 안정성과 기능성 개발 향상을 위해 지속적이고 체계적인 연구가 필요하다고 생각된다.

We estimate the fractal dimension of the ${\rho}$ Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud Complex, associated with star forming regions. We selected a cube (${\upsilon}$, l, b) database, obtained with J = 1-0 transition lines of $^{12}CO$ and $^{13}CO$ at a resolution of 22" using a multibeam receiver system on the 14-m telescope of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory. Using a code developed within IRAF, we identified slice-clouds with two threshold temperatures to estimate the fractal dimension. With threshold temperatures of 2.25 K ($3{\sigma}$) and 3.75 K ($5{\sigma}$), the fractal dimension of the target cloud is estimated to be D = 1.52-1.54, where $P{\propto}A^{D/2}$, which is larger than previous results. We suggest that the sampling rate (spatial resolution) of observed data must be an important parameter when estimating the fractal dimension, and that narrower or wider dispersion around an arbitrary fit line and the intercepts at NP = 100 should be checked whether they relate to firms noise level or characteristic structure of the target cloud. This issue could be investigated by analysing several high resolution databases with different quality (low or moderate sensitivity).

In this study, 3-(trihydroxysilyl)-1-propanesulfonic acid (THS-PSA) was added to poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA) to improve the separation characteristics toward water vapors in the air. The prepared membranes varying both PSSA_MA and THS-PSA amounts were also synthesized at different cross linking temperatures. Then, in order to investigate the separation characteristics of the resulting membranes, the dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) and vapor permeation experiments were carried out. The increase of cross-linking temperature showed longer time to reach the equilibrium sorption state from the dynamic vapor sorption experiments. PVA/PSSA_MA (3%)/THA-PSA(7%) prepared at $120^{\circ}C$ gave the highest permeability of 480 barrer at $35^{\circ}C$.

We fabricated cube textured Ni substrate for YBCO coated conductor and evaluated the effects of processing parameters on microstructural evolution and texture formation. Ni-rods as an initial specimen were prepared by two different methods, i.e., powder metallurgy(PM) and plasma arc melting(PAM). Subsequently, the rods were cold rolled to 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thick substrate and annealed at temperatures of $700∼1200^{\circ}C$. The texture of the substrate was characterized by pole-figure. It was observed that the texture of substrate made by P/M did not significantly varied with annealing temperature of 600∼$l100^{\circ}C$ and the full-width at half-maximums (FWHM) of both in-plane and out-of-plane were 9$^{\circ}$∼$10^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the texture of substrate made by PAM was more dependent on the annealing temperature and the corresponding values were $9^{\circ}$ ∼$13^{\circ}$ at the temperature range. In addition, recrystallization twin texture, (221)＜221＞, was formed as the temperature increased further. OM profiles showed that the grain size of substrate made by P/M was smaller than that made by PAM and this difference was correlated to the microstructure of initial specimens.

The effects of 3 different strains of Japanese koji (Aspergillus oryzae, A. sojae and A. awamori) in the solid-state fermentation (SSF) of sugarcane bagasse mixed with wheat bran on chemical composition, energy, in vivo digestibility and preference of the fermented bagasse feeds (FBF) in goats were investigated. Diets consisted of lucerne hay cube (basal diet) and unfermented bagasse feed (control), FBF with A. oryzae (O), FBF with A. sojae (S) or FBF with A. awamori (A), which were mixed in a total ration of 7:3 (w/w DM). Three Nubian does were fed each of the diets, i.e. control, O, S and A in the 4 consecutive periods for digestion trials (21-day each). The goats were also used for preference trials (30-min each) of O, S and A. The O was significantly higher in CP content than others (p<0.05). The crude fiber (CF), ADF and cellulose contents of control were significantly lower than those of other diets (p<0.05). The S had significantly higher CF digestibility than control (p<0.05), and it revealed the largest value of all. Digestibilities of NDF, ADF and cellulose in S were significantly higher than those of control (about 10, 18 and 18%, respectively, p<0.05). The DE of S was significantly higher than that of others (p<0.05), though there were no significant differences in DCP and TDN between control and S. The results of preference trials demonstrated that the average intake rate was not significantly different among diets, but O and S are likely to be preferable to A (p<0.1). It was concluded that the SSF of bagasse feeds by Japanese koji can improve the fiber digestion, especially NDF, ADF or cellulose in goats, and there is a marked effect in the feed containing A. sojae, which may lead to the improvement of DE.

Formation of filaments and subsequent dense cores in ISM is one of the essential questions to address in star formation. To investigate this scenario in detail, we recently started a molecular line survey namely 'Filaments, the Universal Nursery of Stars (FUNS)' toward nearby filamentary clouds in Gould Belt using TRAO 14m single dish telescope equipped with a 16 multi-beam array. In the present work, we report the first look results of kinematics of a low mass star forming region L1478 of California molecular cloud. This region is found to be consisting of long filaments with a hub-filament structure. We performed On-The-Fly mapping observations covering ~1.1 square degree area of this region using C18O(1-0) as a low density tracer and 0.13 square degree area using N2H+(1-0) as a high density tracer, respectively. CS (2-1) and SO (32-21) were also used simultaneously to map ~290 square arcminute area of this region. We identified 10 filaments applying Dendrogram technique to C18O data-cube and 13 dense cores using FellWalker and N2H+ data set. Basic physical properties of filaments such as mass, length, width, velocity field, and velocity dispersion are derived. It is found that filaments in L~1478 are velocity coherent and supercritical. Especially the filaments which are highly supercritical are found to have dense cores detected in N2H+. Non-thermal velocity dispersions derived from C18O and N2H+ suggest that most of the dense cores are subsonic or transonic while the surrounding filaments are transonic or supersonic. We concluded that filaments in L~1478 are gravitationally unstable which might collapse to form dense cores and stars. We also suggest that formation mechanism can be different in individual filament depending on its morphology and environment.
