Sole-binder formulation has been recently introduced to solve the problems of coating process and printability caused by use of natural polymer However, the decrease of natural polymer application causes another problem in paper coating. Therefore, synthetic thickener is used to get similar effect to natural polymer usage. In this study. low shear viscosity, dewatering of coating colors were measured to evaluate the performance of the alkali sensitive water retention and rheology modifiers. The effects of alkali sensitive thickener on the physical properties of coated paper and printability were also investigated. The gloss and printability of coated paper containing the synthetic flow modifier were similar or superior to those of CMC containing coated paper. This modifier was also effective to improve the problems caused by the use of starch. The results indicated that the flow modifier synthesized with alkali sensitive thickener can reduce the problems of natural polymer and could be a good substitute f3r a natural polymer.

This paper describes a research study on the durability and strength properties of thin quiet-permeable asphalt concrete. Such asphalt mixes have high porosity, which offers significantly better drainages than normal mix designs. However, these materials also exhibit poor durability and strength limiting their use in pavement application. To remedy this, fiber and polymer modifiers have been proposed. All samples were added to modified binder which were prepared with or without the modifiers and fiber using Marshall mix procedures and were experimentally tested using various standardized testing procedures including percent air void for porosity, cantabro test and marshall stability. In general, the results of marshall stability showed that modified mixtures were equivalent to unmodified mixtures. Especially, the result of cantabro tested modified mixtures was superior to unmodified mixtures.

TCR modifying oxides which have negative TCR were added to the $\textrm{RuO}_2$ thick film resistors and how they affect the TCR and resistivity of the systems were investigated. Two types of resistor systems whose ratio of $\textrm{RuO}_2$ to glass were 20/80 and 12/88 were used as standard resistors. It was observed that the modifiers did not always lower the TCR of the resistors and the direction of the TCR change were different from system to system. It was confirmed, however, that the feasibility of optimization of TCR of the resistors. When more than two TCR modifiers were added simultaneously there was no interaction between them. The resultant TCR of the resistor wart just sum of the effects from individual modifier. It was found to be desirable that the amount of addition of the TCR modifiers should be less than 2 to 3 percent.

This paper deals with 111 buildings built between 1962 and 1987, from various parts of the city of Osijek, for which, through the collection of documentation, a database is created. The aim of this paper is to provide the first steps in assessing seismic risk in Osijek applying method based on vulnerability index. This index uses collected information of parameters of the building: the structural system, the construction year, plan, the height, i.e., the number of stories, the type of foundation, the structural and non-structural elements, the type and the quality of main construction material, the position in the block and built-up area. According to this method defining five damage states, the action is expressed in terms of the macroseismic intensity and the seismic quality of the buildings by means of a vulnerability index. The value of the vulnerability index can be changed depending on the structural systems, quality of construction, etc., by introducing behavior and regional modifiers based on expert judgments. Since there is no available data of damaged buildings under earthquake loading in our country, we will propose behavior modifiers based on values suggested by earlier works and on judgment based on available project documentation of the considered buildings. Depending on the proposed modifiers, the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings in the city of Osijek will be assessed. The resulting vulnerability of the considered residential buildings provides necessary insight for emergency planning and for identification of critical objects vulnerable to seismic loading.

This study examines the relationship between city slogan modifiers and slogan attitudes from the perspective of residents in other cities. To examine this relationship, the study focuses on two important characteristics of slogan modifiers : the preference for a slogan modifier and the fit of a slogan modifier. To test the hypotheses, a 2 (low vs. high city knowledge)${\times}2$ (low vs. high slogan modifier preference)${\times}2$ (low vs. high slogan modifier fit) between-subjects factorial design was adopted. A total of 254 undergraduate students at the authors' college participated in the study. Their ages ranged from 19 and 30 (average = 22.3), and 58.3% of the participants were male. According to the results, the high-preference slogan modifier had a greater positive effect on slogan attitudes than the low-preference one. Similarly, the high-fit slogan modifier had a greater positive effect on slogan attitudes than the low-fit one. Also, it was shown that the fit of the slogan modifier had a greater effect on purchase intentions than the preference for the slogan modifier when city knowledge was high. However, contrary to expectations, when city knowledge was low, the standardized coefficient of the preference for the slogan modifier was not significantly different from that of its fit.

Poymer blends of two degradable aliphatic polyesters, relatively expensive material polylactic acid (PLA) and relatively inexpensive material poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), were used in this study. Three different kinds of modifiers were used with various amounts. Diisocyanate type methylenediphenyl 4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were used as modifiers and epoxy type coupling agents also used. The melt flow index (MFI) and dynamic viscoelasticity of various compositions of PLA/PBAT blends were studied. The mechanical property and morphology with respect to the fracture surface of PLA/PBAT blends were also investigated using tensile test and field emission scanning electronic microscopy, respectively. These tests were also used to verify the compatibility of PLA/PBAT and the effect of mechanical properties due to the use of modifiers. Tensile properties of PLA/PBAT blends modified with HDI were improved remarkably.

In this study, to improve the performance of asphalt mixtures for plastic deformation occurring mainly in Korea, complex modifiers were prepared by mixing powders and liquid type modifiers. The main constituents were powdery diatomaceous earth, mica and carbon black, and liquid type solid 70% SBR latex. The tensile strength ratios for the two asphalt mixtures used in the test were above 0.80 for the Ministry of Land Transportation (2017) asphalt mixture production and construction guidelines. The effects of increasing the tensile strength in the dry state was more than 14% when the composite modifier was added. The deformation rate per minute by the wheel tracking test load was an average of 0.07 to 0.147 for each mixture. The strain rate per minute was improved by the modifier, and the dynamic stability was improved by almost 100% from 295 to 590. In addition, the final settling was reduced from 11.38 mm to 9.57 mm. A plastic deformation test using the triaxial compression test showed that the amount of deformation entering the plastic deformation failure zone at the end of the second stage section and in the third stage plastic deformation section was 1.76 mm for the conventional mixture and 1.50 mm for the complex modifier mixture. The average slope of the complex modifier asphalt mixture mixed with the multi-functional modifier was 0.005 mm/sec. The plastic deformation rate is relatively small in the section where the road pavement exhibits stable common performance, i.e. the traffic load.

The screening of 150 Chinese drugs which are most frequently prescribed in Korean traditional medicine showed that at least 30% of the drugs affected barbiturate-induced hypnosis. This effect was mainly attributable to the alteration of drug metabolism. Phytochemical works resulted in the isolation of furanocoumarins, lignans, sesquiterpenes and saponins as drug metabolism modifiers. The structure-activity relationship is discussed.
