When the vertical load-bearing members in high-rise structures fail locally, the beam-column joints play an important role in the redistribution of the internal forces. In this paper, a static laboratory test of three full-scale flush flange beam-reinforced connections with side and cover plates (CP-FBSP connection) with double half-span steel beams and single L-shaped columns composed of concrete-filled steel tubes (L-CFST columns) was conducted. The influence of the side plate width and cover plate thickness on the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure was thoroughly analyzed. The failure mode, vertical force-displacement curves, strain variation, reaction force of the pin support and development of internal force in the section with the assumed plastic hinge were discussed. Then, through the verified finite element model, the corresponding analyses of the thickness and length of the side plates, the connecting length between the steel beam flange and cover plate, and the vertical-force eccentricity were carried out. The results show that the failure of all the specimens occurred through the cracking of the beam flange or the cover plate, and the beam chord rotations measured by the test were all greater than 0.085 rad. Increasing the length, thickness and width of the side plates slightly reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructures. The vertical-force eccentricity along the beam length reduced the progressive collapse resistance of the substructure. An increase in the connecting length between the beam flange and cover plate can significantly improve the progressive collapse resistance of substructures.

The genus Chroomonas is a group of blue-green colored cryptomonads. This study describes two freshwater Chroomonas species for the first time in South Korea: Chroomonas nordstedtii Hansgirg and Chroomonas coerulea (Geitler) Skuja. We examined the morphology and ultrastructure of these species by light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. These two Chroomonas species were blue-green colored and ovate to oval-shaped. Chroomonas nordstedtii was characterized by two Maupas ovals with hexagonal periplast plates, whereas C. coerulea was characterized by one eyespot with rectangular periplast plates. A molecular phylogeny with data from nuclear SSU rRNA and chloroplast rbcL genes revealed that Korean C. nordstedtii formed a distinct clade with NIES-708, NIES-1004 from Japan, and UTEX 2779 from Colorado, USA, while C. coerulea formed a clade with ACOI 1366 from Portugal.

This study was undertaken to isolate and to identify a fungal pathogen Monilinia sp. KV-27 associated with apple anthracnose. Rotted Fuji apples were used for the isolation of the fungus. The infected tissues were sterilized with 70% ethanol, washed with sterilized distilled water and were transferred to 50 ml containing potato dextrose broth (PDB) flasks. The peripheral hyphae of the fungal colony which developed from the infected tissues were isolated on to potato dextrose agar (PDA). On PDA plates the fungus grew well at $25^{\circ}C$ and occupied more than half of a 9 cm petri dish within 5 days. The fungal cultures on PDA were used for morphological observation and identification of the fungus. Conidiophores were produced on the gray to whitish sporodochial structures scattered on PDA plates. These conidiophores gave rise to chains of conidia, which were branched and easily detached in water. These structures were dark brown to black and consisted of hyphal masses. Conidia produced on PDA plates were hyline or light colored, lemon shaped or ellipsoidal ($10-13{\times}8.5-11{\mu}m$) in size.

항공기 구조물 표면에 발생하는 외부 충격은 크랙과 같은 손상을 발생시킬 수 있으며 이는 차후 큰 결함을 야기하기 때문에 충격과 손상을 탐지하고 위치를 추정하는 것은 구조 안정성 모니터링에 있어 중요한 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 능동, 수동 센싱기법을 조합한 L-형상 압전체 센서 배열을 사용하여 충격과 손상을 탐지할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였다. 수동 센싱기법으로 1개 센서군 당 3개의 센서를 L-형상으로 배치하여 충격 발생 각도를 추정하고 2개의 센서군을 사용하여 충격위치를 탐지하는 방법을 도입하였다. 이 수동 센싱기법을 유도초음파 기반의 능동 센싱기법에 확대 적용하여 동일한 압전소자로 충격 탐지와 더불어 손상을 탐지할 수 있는 방법을 개발하였다. 이 기법은 방향에 따른 파동의 속도 변화와 같은 구조물에 대한 정보 없이도 위치 추정이 가능하여 비등방성 구조 내에서도 정확한 충격 및 손상 위치 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 개발된 기법을 날개 형태 구조물 및 CFRP 판에 적용하여 실험적으로 정확한 충격 및 손상 위치를 추정할 수 있음을 증명하였다.

In this study, a species of Rhabdocoela is reported from Korea for the first time. The kalyptorhynch Alcha sinensis Wang & Hu, 2019, was collected from the intertidal zone of Anmyeon Island. Compared to the original study on A. sinensis and previous studies on A. evelinae, we provide additional detail of these two species through pictures of the stylet and a improved description of the prostate stylet type III, which is composed of a bowtie-shaped base and two pairs of heteromorphic plates with fringed or serrated edges. Two plates are also provided with a rounded "blade". Also, we discuss the importance of the prostate stylet type III as a diagnostic character. After a thorough comparison of the descriptions of A. evelinae Marcus, 1949, and A. sinensis, we conclude that the Korean specimens belong to the latter species. Finally, we discuss the difficulties of interpreting diagnostic characters of the small and complex prostate stylet type III within the genus Alcha.

Background: Sternal fractures are relatively rare, and caused mainly by blunt anterior chest wall trauma. In most cases, sternal fractures are treated conservatively. However, if the patient exhibits problematic symptoms such as intractable chest wall pain or bony crepitus due to sternal instability, surgical correction is indicated. But no consensus exists regarding the most appropriate surgical method. We analyzed the results of surgical fixation in cases of sternal fracture in order to identify which surgical method led to the best outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients with sternal fractures from December 2008 to December 2011, and found 19 patients who underwent open reduction and internal fixation of the sternum with a longitudinal plate (L-group) or a T-shaped plate (T-group). We investigated patients' characteristics, clinical details regarding each case of chest trauma, the presence of other associated injuries, the type of open reduction and fixation, whether a combined operation was performed, and postoperative complications. Results: Of the 19 patients, 10 patients (52.6%) were male, and their average age was 56.8 years (range, 32 to 82 years). Seven patients (36.8%) had isolated sternal fractures, while 12 (63.2%) had other associated injuries. Seven patients (36.8%) were in the L-group and 12 patients (63.2%) were in the T-group. Three patients in the L-group (42.9%) showed a loosening of the fixation. In all patients in the T-group, the fracture exhibited stable alignment. Conclusion: Open reduction and internal fixation with a T-shaped plate in sternal fractures is a safer and more efficient treatment method than treatment with a longitudinal plate, especially in patients with a severely displaced sternum or anterior flail chest, than a longitudinal plate.

Recently, in recognition of their outstanding structural performance, the use of Concrete Filled Steel Tube (CFT) columns has been increased. New shape welded built-up square tube was developed by the authors for broader usability using thin steel plates which were bent to be L-shaped (Channel) and each unit members were welded to form square steel tube as an cost-efficient use of expensive steel. In addition, since the rib placed at the center of the tube width acts as an anchor; higher load capacity of buckling is achievable. In order to apply the new shape built-up square columns, the structural behavior and stress distribution with parameter width of thickness (b/t), with and without rib were predicted. The New shape welded built-up square tube effectively delayed the local buckling of the steel tube, which led to a greater strength and ductility than regular HSS.

본 논문에서는 Reissner-Mindlin 평판이론에 근거한 계층적 $C^{\circ}$-평판요소가 제안되었다. 적분형 르장드르 형상함수에 근거한 계층요소를 제안하는 이유는 종래의 h-version 유한요소법의 개념 을 사용하여 전단구속 효과등에 대한 해의 정확도 및 수치안정성을 확보할 수 있는 요소를 만드는데 여전히 어려움이 수반되기 때문이다. 적응적 체눈 p-세분화와 선택적 형상함수 차수 p의 분포를 사용하는 hp-version 유한요소법을 사용하여 내부주변은 자유단의 개구부를 갖고, 외부주변이 단순지지된 L-형 평판해석을 수행하였는데 종래의 h-version 유한요소법에 비해 우월한 수렴성과 전단구속을 피할 수 있는 등의 알고리즘 효율성을 보여 주고 있다.

본 연구에서는 기존 소규모 철골조에서 나타나는 현장상세 노출형 주각부와 이를 보완한 상세를 가진 약축방향 주각부에 대한 반복 가력 실험을 통해 다양한 상세를 가진 약축방향 노출형 주각부의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 실험변수는 베이스 플레이트의 두께, 앵커볼트의 개수와 매립깊이, 그리고 리브 플레이트의 유무이다. 앵커볼트의 부착성능이 주각부 내진성능에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 본 연구에서는 원형강봉과 나사산이 있는 L형 갈고리 앵커볼트를 사용하였다. 실험결과, 앵커볼트의 부착성능과 베이스 플레이트의 항복유무는 주각부의 에너지 소산능력에 영향을 끼치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 베이스 플레이트가 현행 기준에서 제시하고 있는 최소 두께를 만족하더라도 강재 기둥이 소성모멘트에 도달하기 전 베이스 플레이트가 항복할 경우, 주각부의 구조성능이 저하될 수 있는 소지가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 현행 구조기준에 따라 접합부 성능을 조사한 결과, 제안된 약축방향 주각부 상세는 부분 강접합으로 가정할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기존의 원형강봉에 비해 부착성능이 우수한 나사산이 있는 L형 갈고리 앵커볼트는 반강접 노출형 주각부에 사용가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Indigenous lactobacilli were isolated from vaginas of Korean women for possible use in ecological treatment of bacterial vaginosis. Vaginal swab samples were obtained from a gynecological clinic and streaked on Rogosa SL agar plates to select the most predominant lactobacilli in each sample. The preliminary identification of the isolates as lactobacilli was based on microscopic observation of Gram-positive rod-shaped cell morphology. The initial characterization was performed on 108 isolates in terms of their cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH), antimicrobial activity, and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) production capability, and 10 isolates were then selected for further molecular identification. For a rapid procedure to identify lactobacilli, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analyses of the l6S rRNA genes were applied. The 10 selected lactobacilli and 9 different reference strains of Lactobacillus spp. were characterized by PCR-RFLP where the amplified l6S rDNA was digested with 7 different restriction endonucleases prior to analysis. DNA sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene of one particular isolate, KLB 46, that had been identified as L. crispatus by the PCR-RFLP analysis, further confirmed its identity as L. crispatus.
