The behavior of composite piles composed of steel pipe pile in the upper part and concrete pile in the lower part by a mechanical splicing joint was examined by field lateral load tests and bending tests. A total of 7 piles including two instrumented piles for bending test were installed. The soil profile consists of soft clay with weak silt with shallow groundwater level. Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the basic soil characteristics and the strength parameters. This paper presents the composite pile behavior with various portions of the upper steel pile: 0, 20, 30, and 45% of the pile embedded pile length. Three-point bending tests were performed to investigate the stress-strain relation at the mechanical joint. Based on these test results, the behavior of composite piles with various upper steel pile length are evaluated and the stability of mechanical joints are examined. Through comparisons with results of field load tests, it was found that lateral load carrying capacity of the composite piles increased and deflections of the composite piles decreased with increasing the upper steel piles. The mechanical joint was proved to retain its structural stability against the tested load conditions. Economical benefits of composite pile of this kind can be gained by setting adequately the length of the upper steel pipe piles.

Large PHC piles with a diameter of 1,000mm or larger were recently introduced for the first time in Korea. This paper presents full-scale static and dynamic pile load tests performed on two 1,000mm PHC piles and two composite piles with steel pipe piles of the same diameter in the upper portion, installed by driving and pre-boring. The objectives of the tests include evaluating pile drivability, load-settlement relation, allowable bearing capacity, and the stability of mechanical splicing element for the composite pile(a.k.a. non-welding joint). The performance of the large diameter PHC piles were thought to be satisfactory compared to that of middle sized PHC piles with a long history of successful applications in the domestic and foreign markets.

The human $B_{12}$ trafficking chaperone hCblC is well conserved in mammals and non-mammalian eukaryotes. However, the C-terminal ~40 amino acids of hCblC vary significantly and are predicted to be deleted by alternative splicing of the encoding gene. In this study, we examined the thermostability of the bovine CblC truncated at the C-terminal variable region (t-bCblC) and its regulation by glutathione. t-bCblC is highly thermolabile ($T_m={\sim}42^{\circ}C$) similar to the full-length protein (f-bCblC). However, t-bCblC is stabilized to a greater extent than f-bCblC by binding of reduced glutathione (GSH) with increased sensitivity to GSH. In addition, binding of oxidized glutathione (GSSG) destabilizes t-bCblC to a greater extent and with increased sensitivity as compared to f-bCblC. These results indicate that t-bCblC is a more sensitive form to be regulated by glutathione than the full-length form of the protein.

Applications of REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes require joints with a simple manufacturing process, low resistance and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we successfully developed a copper diffusion joint between Cu-stabilized REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes that meets the above requirements without solder simply by applying flux, heat and pressurization. After a 3 min thermocompression process at approximately 150 δ and 336 MPa in air, two tapes were directly connected between Cu stabilizers by copper diffusion, which was proven by microstructure analysis. The specific resistivity of the copper diffusion joint reached 5.8 nΩ·cm² (resistance of 0.4 nΩ for a 306 mm splicing length) at 77 K in the self-field. The axial tensile stress reached 200 N without critical current degradation. The results show promise for the preparation of copper diffusion joints to be used in coils, attached tapes, and wire/cable terminals.

This study presents a dry precast concrete (PC) beam-column connection, and its target seismic performance level is set to be emulative to the reinforced concrete (RC) intermediate moment resisting frame system specified in ACI 318 and ASCE 7. The key features include self-sustaining ability during construction with the dry mechanical splicing method, enabling emulative connection performances and better constructability. Test specimens with code-compliant seismic details were fabricated and tested under reversed cyclic loading, which included a PC beam-column connection specimen with dry connections and an RC control specimen. The test results showed that all the specimens failed in a similar failure mode due to plastic deformations in beam members, while the hysteretic response curve of the PC specimen showed comparable and emulative performances compared to the RC specimen. Seismic performance evaluation was quantitatively addressed, and on this basis, it confirmed that the presented system can fully satisfy all the required performance for the intermediate RC moment resisting frame.

철근 콘크리트 구조물에 다양한 종류의 철근 이음 방법이 개발되고 이를 현장에서 적용하여 왔다. 지난 여러 연구들에 따르면 철근의 직경이 굵어지고 철근의 강도가 커질 경우, 원가 효율 면에서 기계적 이음이 겹침이음보다 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 고강도 철근(SD600)에 대한 에폭시 충전형 기계적 이음장치를 제시하고 실험을 실시하였다. 이형 철근을 원형 튜브형 강재로 된 커플러에 삽입하고 고강도 에폭시 충전재를 커플러 안으로 주입하면 커플러 안에서 충전재가 경화되면서 이음 장치가 구성된다. 에폭시의 압축강도, 커플러의 길이, 철근의 지름 등에 따른 에폭시 충전형 기계적 이음장치에 대한 일방향 인장시험을 수행하였으며, 실험체의 파괴하중 및 파괴 양상을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 실험체의 실제 파괴하중은 에폭시 충전재의 예상 파단 내력의 약 2배 이상으로 나타나 강재 커플러의 구속으로 인하여 경화 에폭시 충전재의 파괴하중이 크게 증가했다는 것을 확인하였다.

The use of spliced reinforcing bars in sustainable concrete members to manage inadequate bars length is a common practical issue which is may be due to some limitations. The lap splicing means two bars overlapped in parallel with specified length called the splice length in order to provide the required bond between the two bars. The bond between sustainable concrete and spliced steel bars is another important issue. The normal strength sustainable concrete specimens of sizes 1700×150×150 mm with tension reinforcement lap spliced were selected according to testing device length limitations. These members were designed to fail in flexure in order to investigate the lap spliced tension bars effect. The selected lap spliced tension bars were of 10 mm size with smooth and deformed surfaces in order to investigate the surface nature accompanied with the splice nature. The sustainable concrete mechanical properties and mix workability were also studied. This study reveals that the effect of number of spliced bars on the response of beams reinforced with smooth bars is found to be more obvious than deformed one. Finite element modeling in three dimensions was carried out for the tested beams using ABAQUS software. A parametric study is carried out using finite elements on considering the following parameters, concrete compressive strength, load type and opening in cross section (hollow section) for weight reduction purposes.The laboratory and numerical results show good agreements in terms of ultimate load and deflection with an average difference of 10% and 15% in ultimate load and deflection respectively.

융착 접속 기술을 이용하여 다중모우드 광섬유와 단일 모우드 광섬유내에 유전체 박막 거울을 제작하였다. $45{\circ}$ 유전체 거울이 내장된 광섬유는 극소형이며, 광학적인 손실이 매우 작고(1.3 ${\mu}m$에서, 다중 모우드 광섬유의 경우 0.2dB, 단일 모우드 광섬유의 경우 0.5dB), 기계적 강도가 우수한 결합기로 사용될 수 있다. 반사율은 파장에 따라 변화하며, 편광에 매우 민감하였다. 백색광을 사용하여 유전체 거울로부터 반사되는 출력 파워를 원거리 스캔하며 측정하였을 때 출력 빔의 모양은 거의 원형 대칭으로써 최대 파워의 5%에서 측정된 종횡비는 1.09이었다. 다이오우드 레이저 광원을 사용하여 측정한 다중모우드 광섬유 결합기의 광분파율은 종래의 FBT(Fused Biconical Taper) 결합기보다 입력 광신호의 결합 조건에 따른 변화가 훨씬 적어서 사용하는 광통신 시스템의 모우드 잡음에 덜 민감하다. 광섬유 축에 수직하게 증착된 다층 유전체 거울들의 반사율 스펙트럼 특성을 측정하였으며, 행렬 해석법을 사용하여 실험 결과를 분석, 고찰하였다.

OCT4, also known as POU5F1 (POU domain class 5 transcription factor 1), is a transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of pluripotency in embryonic stem cells and is one of the reprogramming factors required for generating induced pluripotent stem cells. The human OCT4 encodes three isoforms, OCT4A, OCT4B, and OCT4B1, which are generated by alternative splicing. Currently, the functions and expression patterns of OCT4B remain largely unknown in malignancies, especially in human glioblastomas. Here, we demonstrated the function of OCT4B in human glioblastomas. Among the isoform of OCT4B, OCT4B-190 ($OCT4B^{19kDa}$) was highly expressed in human glioblastoma stem cells and glioblastoma cells and was mainly detected in the cytoplasm rather than the nucleus. Overexpression of $OCT4B^{19kDa}$ promoted colony formation of glioblastoma cells when grown in soft agar culture conditions. Clinical data analysis revealed that patients with gliomas that expressed OCT4B at high levels had a poorer prognosis than patients with gliomas that expressed OCT4B at low levels. Thus, $OCT4B^{19kDa}$ may play a crucial role in regulating cancer cell survival and adaption in a rigid environment.
