Physical characteristics of stem (ile., length and diameter) and branch, and detachment force of mature and immature fruits of 12 species of the Lycium chinese Mill at a cultivar were determined. The number of stems and branches were counted after the first and second pruning of each plant. Length and diameter of the stem were average of 113.5 cm and 9.5 mm for 12 species of the Lycium chinese Mill, respectively. Average number of stem and number of branch after the first and second pruning in each plant were 5, 30, and 61, respectively. Diameter of major and minor axis of the fruit was average of 13.8mm and 8.3mm, respectively, and the sphericity of fruits was average of 0.7 for 12 species of Lycium chinese Mill. Detachment force of mature and immature fruits was average of 1 N and 2.7 N, respectively, for 12 species of the Lycium chinese Mill. The maximum and minimum detachment force of the mature fruits was 2.06 N and 0.39 N, respectively, and that of the immature fruits was 3.72 N and 1.27 N, respectively. The force-weight ratio showed a decreasing trend as the weight of fruit increasing for all samples.

Supersonic coaxial, axisymmetric, jets issuing from various kinds of dual coaxial nozzles were experimentally investigated. Four different kinds of coaxial, dual nozzles were employed to characterize the major features of the supersonic, coaxial, dual jets. Two convergent-divergent supersonic nozzles with an impinging angle in the jet axis of the annular jets were designed to have the Mach number 2.0 and used to compare the coaxial jet flows with those discharging from two sonic nozzles. The primary pressure ratio was changed in the range from 4.0 to 10.0 and the assistant jet ratio from 1.0 to 4.0. The results obtained show that the assistant jets from the annular nozzle affect the coaxial jet flows and an increase of both the primary jet pressure ratio and assistant jet pressure ratio produces longer supersonic length of the dual, coaxial jet.

The reproduction of animals is a way to maintain their species and demands a large amount of energy. The golden hamsters are seasonal breeders whose reproductive activities are regulated by photoperiod (length of day time in a day). The photic information received is transported to the pineal gland via many steps. Melatonin produced by the pineal gland affects the reproductive neuroendocrine system to manage reproductive activities. The major regulator neurons, secreting gonadotropin-releasing hormone, integrate all kinds of information to govern the reproductive frame hypothalamuspituitary-gonad axis. The elements impinging on the neurons are recently outspread. Thus the present review is to briefly survey the elements discovered newly and subjected to the active research realm and their correlations, focusing on the regulation of reproduction in mainly male golden hamsters as a representative animal.

Tumble flow test rig has been used as the useful tool in the developing intake system because major flow pattern induced by intake port of DOHC engine is tumble. Angular momentum of in-cylinder tumble flow can not be directly measured by impulse torque meter in the test rig like that of in-cylinder swirl flow due to rotational axis of the flow. Therefore the adaptor to transform tumble to swirl flow must be adapted in the test rig. In this study, using the commercial CFD code STAR-CD, we studied the effects on measured results due to the variation of the major design variables in the adaptor, tube length(L), tube diameter(D) and cylinder height(H). The effect of the attached angle($\theta$) of the test head to the adaptor also was simulated.

The fish influx and behavioral properties at a set-net off Goseong, South Korea were investigated using an imaging sonar. As a result, the average influx of fish was 33.9% at day time and 66.1% at night time, respectively, which indicated that a majority of fish entered into a playground in the set-net at night. The fish behavioral properties such as target (fish) length, range, orientation and major-axis angle were examined and compared among survey dates (4, 5, and 6 June 2019) using the statistical analysis tool (analysis of variance, ANOVA). The behavioral properties presented differently sometime of survey dates. This is preparatory study to support fish behavior properties in a set-net. It is expected that more elaborated behavioral information of fishes in the set-net is beneficial for designing and deploying a set-net fishing gear as well as general fish behavior research in the future.

Mechanical and physical properties of various parts of jujube (Zizyphus jojoba Miller) such as fruits, leaves, secondary branches, and leafy stems were measured and analyzed. The physical dimensions of the fruits were measured using a digital caliper, and the detachment force of the fruit and leafy stems was measured using a force gauge. The physical characteristics of the secondary branches such as the modulus of elasticity and the torsional rigidity were tested using a universal testing machine (UTM). The physical characteristics of leafy stems such as length and weight were also measured using a digital caliper and a digital scale, respectively. The detachment force of leafy stems and the area of the leaf also measured. The terminal velocities of the jujube fruits, leaves, and leafy stems were measured using a custom made terminal velocity experiment system. Diameter of the major and minor axis of the jujube fruit, weight of the fruit, and detachment force of the fruit stem was average of 32.02 mm, 23.92 mm. 10.0 ${\times}$ 10$\^$6/ ㎥, 8.99 g, and 5.43 N. respectively. The detachment forces of the jujube fruits increased and the force-to-weight ratio of the jujube fruits decreased as the weight of the jujube fruits increased. The modulus of elasticity of the secondary branches of the jujube was average of 7.01 ${\times}$ 10$\^$8/ N/㎡ and decreased as diameter of the secondary branches increased. The average torsional rigidity of the secondary jujube branches was 5.2 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-/ N/㎡, and the torsional rigidity decreased as the secondary branch diameter increased. The distribution of the torsional rigidity data associated with the diameter of the branches, however. widely scattered and it was difficult to find any relationship between the diameter of the branches and the torsional rigidity of tile branches. The weight of the leafy stems, number of loaves attached to the leafy stems, diameter of the stem side of the leafy stems, diameter of the leafy stem end was average or 0.7 g, 6.6 ea, 12.2 cm, 4.5 mm, and 2.7 mm, respectively. The major and minor axis of the .jujube loaves, area of leaves, weight of the leaves. and detachment force of the leaves was average of 5.7 cm, 3.3 cm, 12.98 cm$^2$, 0.20 g, and 4.39 N, respectively. The terminal velocity of the .jujube fruits increased as the weight of the fruits increased. The terminal velocity of the leafy stems, however, did not show a relationship with the weight of the leafy stems and the number of leaves attached to the leafy stem. The terminal velocity, however, slightly increased as the length of the leafy stems increased.

Lodging is classified as root lodging caused by the loss of supporting force in the root, bending caused by the deformation of the stem and breaking where the stem breaks down as loads exceeding critical elasticity were applied. This research excluded breaking which is not in a state of equilibrium and tried to partition the level of lodging using an algebraic model in root lodging and stem lodging, or bending. When a vertical load was applied, the deformation of the stem of rice plant showed the form of a quadratic equation. The trace of the panicle neck in the process of lodging was an ellipse-shape. When loading was pure root lodging, the trace of the panicle neck became a circle of which culm length is the radius. When it was a pure stem lodging, the trace of the panicle neck is an ellipse of which major axis is culm length and minor axis is 0.64* culm length. When both stem lodging and root lodging occurred in a natural setting, the partitioning of lodging can be calculated by a formula using eccentricity of an ellipse, S=e*100/0.768(S is the ratio of stem lodging in the whole lodging, e is eccentricity of the ellipse). This method is expected to be useful in simple lodging partitioning. We could also calculate the partitioning of stem lodging and root lodging as units of angles as an accuracy method, by using a straight line calculated by differentiating a quadratic equation of stem deformation at the origin of the coordinates. These two methods for dividing root and stem lodging showed different values. However, each of them showed almost same values with different lodging degree in one plant.

본 연구에서는 심층혼합처리공법에 관하여 저자들에 의해 수행된 국내/외 설계, 시공 및 품질관리에 대한 평가와 고찰을 수행하였고, 추후 DCM 공법의 발전을 위한 개선 사항들을 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과, 실내배합실험 시 강도에 대한 단면적 보정이 필요하고, 외삽법 적용 시 실제와 다른 결과가 도출될 수 있으므로 주의가 요구됨을 알 수 있었다. 설계 시 개량율과 개량형식 등을 모두 고려하여 적용 가능한 설계법을 선정해야 하며, 안전율이 적용된 허용압축강도는 안정성 검토를 위한 기준치를 의미하는 것이지 설계 지반정수가 아님을 확인하였다. 응력분담비의 경우 관행적인 값을 적용하기 보다는 설계 조건을 반영한 실험 및 이론적 응력분담비를 산정해야 경제적인 설계를 수행할 수 있었다. 시공 시 선천공이 예상되는 경우 증가된 함수비가 원지반 대비 크지 않은 경우 함수비 증가를 고려하지 못한 결과를 사용하여도 큰 문제가 발생하지 않는 경우도 있었다. 또한, 개량길이 대비 선단처리 길이의 비율이 높은 경우 시공 시 단위길이당 설계 시멘트량이 적게 주입될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 품질관리 시 개량체 코어링은 1축 개량체는 D/4~2D/4, 다축 개량체는 D/4 지점이 최적인 것으로 평가되었다. 품질관리를 위한 항목으로 개량체의 일축압축강도와 더불어 TCR을 고려하는 기준이 국내 실정에 더 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

주입액의 점성도와 응력상태에 따른 균열전파 특성을 분석하기 위해 실험실 규모의 수압파쇄시험을 실시하였다. 시험에 사용된 시료는 시멘트 몰탈을 사용하여 제작되었으며, 각 변의 길이가 20 cm인 정육면체 형태이다. 제작된 시료는 최대강도를 갖기 위해 수중에서 약 1달간 양생과정을 거쳤다. 독립적인 가압시스템을 가지고 있는 진삼축압축장치로 시료에 압력을 가하여, 실제의 지반에서 작용하는 원위치응력 상태를 재현하였다. 시추 환경 재현을 위해 시료에 소형 시추공을 천공한 후, 일정한 주입속도로 수압파쇄시험을 실시하였다. 수압파쇄시험 과정에서 시추공에 주입된 유체의 압력을 실시간으로 측정하였으며, 동시에 미소파괴음(AE) 신호를 측정하였다. 수압파쇄시험의 모든 과정이 끝난 후 생성된 균열의 형태를 육안으로 관찰하였다. 일차파쇄압력은 주입액의 점성도 증가에 따라 지수형태를 보이며 증가하였다. 수압파쇄시험으로 인해 생성된 균열의 형태는 최대주응력과 최소주응력의 차이인 편차응력의 크기에 따라 서로 다른 양상을 보였다. 낮은 편차응력의 조건에서는 단일의 균열이 아닌 다중 균열이 생성되거나, 균열 성장과정에서 방향이 휘어지는 경향을 보였고, 이에 반해 높은 편차응력의 조건에서 생성된 균열은 단일 면상의 균열이 발생하였다. AE 분석에서도 편차응력이 클수록 미세균열이 단일 면상으로 집중되어 발생되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 연구결과는 수압파쇄 방법을 이용한 암반파쇄에서 편차응력이 클 때보다 작을 때 더 복잡한 균열이 발생된다는 것을 보여준다. 따라서 셰일가스를 개발할 때 생산량을 높이기 위해서는 복잡한 균열을 발생시킬 수 있는 편차응력이 작은 조건에서 수압파쇄가 적용되는 것이 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
