This study is a theoretical bioeconomic analysis to analyze the effectiveness of Marine Protected Area (MPA) implemented in different stock spatial distributions: Closed System, Source-Sink System, and Density-dependent System. In the analysis, an economic impact of vessel activities is also included and a joint effectiveness of MPA and input control is investigated as well. Results of the analysis show that total fisheries stocks are increased in all systems. However, total harvests are decreased when MPA is implemented in the closed system and in the sink patch of source-sink system. On the contrary, total harvests are increased or decreased according to the rate of stock migration and the level of fisheries stocks in the source patch of source-sink system and in the density-dependent system. Specifically, total harvests are increased more significantly as the rate of migration increases and the level of stock increases higher. In addition, the increase in fishing efforts is restricted due to the increase in fishing cost. Therefore, fishing efforts could not be increased greatly in the fishable area. When input control is combined with MPA, the total stocks could be more increased.

The purposes of this study were to evaluate the microtensile bond strength of one-step adhesives accord ing to various dentin surface treatments and to observe the interface between resin(Z-100$^{TM}$) and dentin under SEM. In this study forty-five non-caries extracted human molars and three adhesive systems were used ; AlI-Bond 2(AB), One-Up Bond F(OU), AQ-Bond(AQ). ; In Group 1, 2, 3, AB was used and tooth surfaces were treated by smearing(S), ultrasonic cleansing(US), etching(E) respectively. In Group 4. 5, 6, One-Up Bond F was used and tooth surfaces were also treated as the same way above. In Groups 7, 8, 9, AQ Bond was used and tooth surfaces wet$.$e treated as the same way. Each specimen was prepared for microtensile bond testing, and were stored for 24hrs in 37$^{\circ}C$ distilled water. After that, microtensile bond strength for each specimen was measured. Specimens were fabricated to examine the failure patterns of interface between resin and dentin and observed under the SEM. The results were as follows ; 1.

A polymer reinforced grouts using ordinary portland cement mortar and water soluble polymer{polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), styrene-butadiene rubbre(SBR), etylene-vinyl acetate copolymer(EVA)} were made. The mechanical properties of the hardened specimens were investigated through the observation of the microstructure and application of fracture mechanics. When the PVA, SBR and EVA was added with 1.5 wt% to the grouts, the compressive strength were about 54 MPa, 63 MPa and 68 MPa respectively, and the flexural strength was about 11 MPa, 12.8 MPa, and 13.6 MPa respectively, and Young's modulus was about 3.8 GPa, 4.4 GPa and 4.6 GPa respectively, and critical stress intensity was about 0.73 MNm-1.5, 0.85 MNm-1.5 and 0.9 MNm-1.5 respectively. It can be considered that the strength improvement of polymer mortar grouts may be due to the removal of macropores and the increase of various fracture toughness effects, such as grain bridging, frictional interlocking and polymer bridging.

This paper presents results of an experimental program for evaluating the mechanical properties of green strain-hardening cementitious composite (SHCC) using recycled material. Recycled poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber, fly ash, and recycled sand from waste concrete are used as materials for green SHCC. Test results indicated that average tensile strength of five dumbbell-shaped specimen is 4.76MPa and average compressive and flexural strength of three specimens are 38MPa and 7.40MPa, respectively.

The present work aims to estimate channel, shell, tube and tube sheet stresses of shell and tube oil cooler stemmed from various parameters. These parameters involve size, thickness and dimension of shell and tube oil cooler, including fluid temperature. The main purpose of the present work is to ensure safety of design products and also develop new products rapidly. For stress evaluation of oil coolers, first of all, the maximum pressure on the shell-side and on the tube side is fixed with 3.1MPa and 1.5MPa, respectively. Secondly, the pressure on each side varies from 2MPa to 3.1MPa on the shell side and tram 0.6MPa to 2MPa on the tube side. Various parameters under these conditions are employed to estimate design stresses on each side of oil cooler. These basic information related to stresses will be useful for a designer or manufacturer of an oil cooler.

In this study, to investigate autogenous shrinkage behavior of 120MPa UHSC at early ages, free and restrained shrinkage tests are performed for various strength levels(50MPa, 80MPa, 120MPa). For 120MPa, the effect of fly ash on autogenous shrinkage was also investigated. In order to assess the potential for early-age cracking in concrete and a mixtures susceptibility to shrinkage cracking, restrained ring test was carried out. Test results show that autogenous shrinkage of UHSC was much higher than that of HSC, VHSC and fly ash delayed cracking age in UHSC by decreasing autogenous shrinkage.

Purpose : Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active metabolite of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), is a potent inhibitor of inosine-monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a new immunosuppressive drug used. It was reported that MPA protected neurons after excitotoxic injury, induced apoptosis in microglial cells. However, the effects of MPA on hypoxic-ischemic (HI) brain injury has not been yet evaluated. Therefore, we examined whether MPA could be neuroprotective in perinatal HI brain injury using Rice-Vannucci model (in vivo) and in rat brain cortical cell culture induced by hypoxia (in vitro). Methods : Cortical cells were cultured using a 18-day-pregnant Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats and incubated in 1% $O_2$ incubator for hypoxia. MPA ($10{\mu}g/mL$) before or after a HI insult was treated. Seven-day-old SD rat pups were subjected to left carotid occlusion followed by 2 hours of hypoxic exposure (8% $O_2$). MPA (10 mg/kg) before or after a HI insult were administrated intraperitoneally. Apoptosis was measured using western blot and real-time PCR for Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3. Results : H&E stain revealed increased brain volume in the MPA-treated group in vivo animal model of neonatal HI brain injury. Western blot and real-time PCR showed the expression of caspase-3 and Bax/Bcl-2 were decreased in the MPA-treated group In in vitro and in vivo model of perinatal HI brain injury, Conclusion : These results may suggest that the administration of MPA before HI insult could significantly protect against perinatal HI brain injury via anti-apoptotic mechanisms, which offers the possibility of MPA application for the treatment of neonatal HI encephalopathy.
