As tunnel ventilation has recently been playing a major role in the tunnel construction and maintenance, longitudinal ventilation systems with jet fans have been utilized a great deal because they are economical and effective. However, due to the length of tunnels and heavy traffic, it is hard to take the field measurements. In this study, therefore, the computer simulation and the model experiment of producing a wind tunnel were carried out simultaneously and the results were compared. The ultimate objective of this research was to interpret the air flow pattern inside the tunnel with a jet-fan was set up, and to offer the useful data for jet-fan installation and operation. The experiment was carried out with varying the jet-fan diameters, location of installation, the discharge velocity. Result showed that as the initial static pressure came up with the negative pressure, the tunnel air flowed into the inside of tunnel from outside due to the entrainment-effect and the backflow-phenomenon by separation-effect was observed in the lower half part of the tunnel. As the jet-fan was getting closer to the tunnel wall, the entrainment-effect caused by the interaction with the wall was increased; however, the mixing distance and irregular flow section became longer, and also the air pressure loss generated by wall friction was large.

Objective: The use of tannin extract and other phytochemicals as dietary additives in ruminants is becoming more popular due to their wide biological actions such as in methane mitigation, bypass of dietary protein, intestinal nematode control, among other uses. Unfortunately, some have strong astringency, low stability and bioavailability, and negatively affecting dry matter intake and digestibility. To circumvent these drawbacks, an effective delivery system may offer a promising approach to administer these extracts to the site where they are required. The objectives of this study were to encapsulate acacia tannin extract (ATE) with native starch and maltodextrin-gum arabic and to test the effect of encapsulation parameters on encapsulation efficiency, yield and morphology of the microparticles obtained as well as the effect on rumen in vitro gas production. Methods: The ATE was encapsulated with the wall materials, and the morphological features of freeze-dried microparticles were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. The in vitro release pattern of microparticles in acetate buffer, simulating the rumen, and its effect on in vitro gas production was evaluated. Results: The morphological features revealed that maltodextrin/gum-arabic microparticles were irregular shaped, glossy and smaller, compared with those encapsulated with native starch, which were bigger, and more homogenous. Maltodextrin-gum arabic could be used up to 30% loading concentration compared with starch, which could not hold the core material beyond 15% loading capacity. Encapsulation efficiency ranged from $27.7%{\pm}6.4%$ to $48.8%{\pm}5.5%$ in starch and $56.1%{\pm}4.9%$ to $64.8%{\pm}2.8%$ in maltodextrin-gum arabic microparticles. Only a slight reduction in methane emission was recorded in encapsulated microparticles when compared with the samples containing only wall materials. Conclusion: Both encapsulated products exhibited the burst release pattern under the pH conditions and methane reduction associated with tannin was marginal. This is attributable to small loading percentages and therefore, other wall materials or encapsulation methods should be investigated.

The outrigger system with a core is widely used for lateral load resisting system of tall building. Recently, structural systems in tall building are adopted to eccentric core and offset outrigger or one-armed outrigger system by trends in planning buildings of irregular type. Therefore, the performance of outrigger system with eccentric core in tall building is evaluated by 50-stories examples which are analyzed for variables such as layout of core and outrigger, arm length of outrigger and depth of outrigger and belt wall.

Tracheid structure of aerial system in five species of Ophioglossaceae and one species of Osmundaceae was examined with light and scanning electron microscopy. The species were Botrichium multifidum var. robustrum, B. ternatum, strictum, B. virginianum, Ophioglossum vulgatum, and Osmunda japonica. Three types of tracheids could be recognized by the pattern of secondary wall thickening; helical, irregular reticulate and circular bordered pitted tracheids. Among them, the appearance of circular bordered pitted tracheids supported that ophioglossaceous plants might have phylogenetic relationship with progymnosperm-seed plant line. Circular and elliptical bordered pits in shape were observed in five ophioglossaceous species; the former was subdivided into large and small types in size. In conclusion, three types of bordered pits were found: (1) large circular type- O. vulgatum, (2) small circular type- B. multifidum var. robustrum, B. ternatum and (3) elliptical type-B. strictum, B. virginianum. B. strictum and B. virginianum belong to subgenus Osmundopteris had the elliptical bordered pits. Therefore, this group might be interpreted as the most primitive in this family; however, such suggestion did subgenus Osmundopteris was classified into the most advanced group.

The author observed the effect of x-ray irradiation on the development of the mandible in the fetuses and growing albino rats. The fetuses were irradiated on the 7½th day of gestation, 100, 200, 300, and 400 rads of x-ray respectively. The experimental animals were sacrificed on the 18½th day of gestation, and first week, second week and third week after parturition. The results were as follows; 1. The mandible of the 18½th day fetuses showed irregular bone trabeoulae, osteoclasts and osteocyte degeneration on the 300 and 400 rads x-ray irradiated fetuses. 2. In the mandible of the first week rats, there was marked osteocyte degeneration and a lot of osteoclast. 3. In the mandible of the 2nd and 3rd week rats bone remodeling was evident. The 3rd week rats also showed alteration of blood vessel wall.

Magnetite deposit of Pocheon Iron Mine is a contact replacement skarn deposit embedded in the carbonate rocks (limestone and dolomite) which are intruded by granite porphyry. The shape of ore bodies is sweet potato-like and/or irregular massive form; D-ore body, the biggest one is of $180m{\times}40m{\times}200m$ in size. The ore is in general of high grade. The location of the ore bodies is controlled by the fault which strikes north south and dips $60^{\circ}$ to $70^{\circ}$ to the west. A regular distribution of mineralized zones is recognized in order of outward (hanging wall side) from granite porphyry as follows: compact fine-grained skarn, limesilicates, magnetite ore body, marble, limesilicates, pyritized meta-sediments.

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a congenital vascular malformation In the lung, various synonyms including Pulmonary cavernous vascular malformation, Pulmonary arteriovenous aneurysm, Cavernous hemangioma of the lung0 Pulmonary telangiectasia, Pulmonary hamartoma, etc. The pathogenesis of its symptoms is that unoxygenated, desaturated arterial blood enters into the pulmonary venous system directly. Recently we have experienced one case of the pulmonary arteriovenous fistula which was diagnosed as the pulmonary cystic lesion of the lung preoperatively in 20 years old, 61 kg, male patient. Operation was revealed well circumscribed cystic lesion filled with blood, subpleural and anterior mediobasal location, and bright red colored aspirates on two times needle aspirations. Microscopic finding shows ill circumscribed vascular lesion composed of varying sized blood vessels with irregular thickening of wall and final pathological diagnosis is Pulmonary Arteriovenous Fistula. Basal segmentectomy was done and the patient shows good postoperative course.

This is a report of a case of tuberculous esophageal perforation, which was surgically treated.. The patient was 32-year-old Korean female patient, who complained swallowing difficulty for` 4 weeks duration. Esophagogram was shown irregular filling defects in the upper one third of esophagus, about 4 cm in length. It was noticed that a small amount of contrast media was leaked out from the involved area of esophagus into the right mediastinum. It was highly suggested that abscess formation was due to perforation of esophageal cancer. Esophagoscopy revealed no definitive evidence of perforation of esophagus, but punch biopsy specimen of esophageal mucosa was shown acute and chronic inflammatory changes. Operation was performed under impression of esophageal cancer. In the right-sided upper mediastinum, a walnut-sized abscess cavity which was connected with esophagus through a fistulous tract was noted. A portion of cavity submitted for frozen section was shown tuberculous inflammation. The abscess cavity, fistula tract, and involved esophageal wall were removed. The perforated esophagus was closed layer by layer. The tuberculous changes were confirmed by histopathologic examination postoperatively. The postoperative course was uneventful.

This is a report of leiomyoma in the esophagus. patient had suffered from mild intermittent dysphagia on eating without any other complaints. This complaint had been going for 45 days, but was not progressed. The esophagogram revealed an ovoid walnut-sized smooth filling defect in the midportion of the esophagus. The mucosal folds of the esophagus were not destroyed. A benign intramural tumor of the esophagus, such as leiomyoma, was suspected with X-ray finding and clinical features. On Aug. 13, 1976 a thoracotomy was performed at right 4th intercostal space. A firm, irregular shaped mass in the wall of the esophagus was enucleated by blunt dissection without any injury of the mucosa of the esophagus. The diagnosis of leiomyoma was confirmed with histopathological finding. Postoperative course was uneventful.

Esophageal leiomyoma is a very rare disease. We present a patient who underwent enucleation of esophageal leiomyoma through a left thoracotomy. The patient was suffered from substernal pain and chest discomfort for 4 months.The esophagogram revealed irregular ovoid smooth filling defect in just proximal portion of G-E junction with the normal mucosal folds. Chest CT demonstrated well-defined, polypoid tumor mass on the anterolateral wall of the distal esophagus. Esophagoscopy revealed normal intact mucosal patterns with swollen hard protruded tumor mass lesion from the just proximal portion of G-E junction. In June, 1993, patient underwent enucleation of esophageal leiomyoma through the left thoracotomy. A horseshoe and spiral shaped, whitish firm tumor mass was noted on the distal esophagus, and the tumor mass was enucleated by blunt dissection carefully. The esophageal leiomyoma was confirmed with histopathological examination. The postoperative course was smooth and uneventful.
