  • The distribution of shaft resistance is measured by the static load test with the strain gauge or stress gauge, so that the long-term load distribution must be considered for the pile design. However, the measurement by strain gauge generally assumes the 'zero reading', which is the reading taken at 'zero time' with 'zero' load and the residual stress, which is the negative skin friction(or the negative shaft resistance) caused by the pile construction, is neglected. Therefore, the measured value by strain gauge is different from the true load-distribution because residual stresses were neglected. In this study, the three drilled shafts were constructed, and the strain measurements were carried out just after shaft construction. As a result of this study, it is shown that the true load-distribution of drilled shaft is quite different with known load distribution and the true load-distribution of drilled shaft changed from the negative skin friction to the positive skin according to the load increment.

  • This investigation was performed to isolate and identify Staphylococcus sp. from air at the 25 sites in one hospital in Daegu. Drug sensitivity tests bacteriologically were also studied. The results are summarized as follows: 1. In gram staining of isolated colonies, the number of staphylococci strains was 959(70.2%) among 1367 collected in the morning, and 653(66.2%) among 987 collected in the afternoon. 2. The number of isolates was slightly higher in samples collected from the outpatient treatment rooms and wards in the main building than in samples from the other sites. 3. In biochemical tests of 1612 strains of isolates gram positive cocci, the number of coagulase positive strains was 584(36.2%) and coagulase negative 1028(63.8%). In experiments on growth on mannitol agar containing 7.5% NaCl and mannitol fermentation tests, the number of mannitol fermentation strains was 423(30.8%) and nonfermenter was 951(59.2%). 4. In antibiotic sensitivity tests of 746 identified strains of staphylococci, coagulase positive strains showed resistance in. higher portions to penicillin(89.7%), chloramphenicol(64.6%), gentamycin (52.1%) and tetracycline(45.2%), whereas in lower portions to kanamycin(39.2%) and apmicillin(33.1%). 5.

  • This paper proposes a model that considers the parity-time symmetric structure as a state detection circuit for sensor applications using a stretchable inductor. In particular, to obtain a more practical computer simulation result, the stretchable inductor model was applied to this study model by referring to previously reported experimental results. The resistance component and phase component were controlled through the negative differential resistance circuit used in this study. In addition, the imbalance of the circuit caused by a change in the characteristics of the stretchable inductor could be compensated for using a negative differential resistance circuit. In particular, an analysis of the frequency characteristics of the sensor driving circuit of the parity-time symmetric structure proposed in this study confirmed that the Q-factor could be increased up to 20 times compared to the conventional resonant circuit.

  • The mechanism of the inner resistance in a rubber crawler system has been investigated to reduce the power requirement (Kitano et al. 1994). The rolling resistance of the track roller, which is one of the major inner resistances, was measured for seven different vertical loads. The rolling resistance changed periodically and could be classified into three types. In case of the vertical load less than 500N, the rolling resistance was almost constant. For the vertical load greater than 500N, the maximum value of the rolling resistance increased. Further more in case of the vertical load greater than 1200N, negative resistance appeared. Analytical simulation of the travel resistance based on experimental results and static equilibrium equations derived from three-dimension mechanical model for the rubber crawler system. It was found that the simulation method was carried out to evaluate the travel resistance occurred by the rolling resistance of the track roller. The rolling resistance for each track roller arrangement and effects of the lug phase in the right and left rubber crawler could be estimated quantitatively.

  • Resistance switching memory cells were fabricated using atomically dispersed Pt-$SiO_2$ thin film prepared via RF co-sputtering. The memory cell can switch between a low-resistance-state and a high-resistance-state reversibly and reproducibly through applying alternate voltage polarities. Percolated conducting paths are the origin of the low-resistance-state, while trapping electrons in the negative U-center in the Pt-$SiO_2$ interface cause the high-resistance-state. Intermediate resistance-states are obtained through controlling the compliance current, which can be applied to multi-level operation for high memory density. It is found that the resistance value is related to the capacitance of the memory cell: a 265-fold increase in resistance induces a 2.68-fold increase in capacitance. The exponential growth model of the conducting paths can explain the quantitative relationship of resistance-capacitance. The model states that the conducting path generated in the early stage requires a larger area than that generated in the last stage, which results in a larger decrease in the capacitance.

  • Bacterial pathogens were isolated from 36 dogs with respiratory signs, that were submitted to Veterinary Clinics in Jeju, including Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital in Cheju National University. Of 36 isolates, 16 (44.4%) bacterial pathogens were Gram-positive and 20 (55.6%) were Gram-negative. Gram-positive bacteria identified with API Staph were 12 S. intermedius (33.3%), 2 S. aureus (5.6%), 1 S. haemolyticum (2.8%), and 1 S. xylosus (2.8%). Gram-negative organisms identified with API 20E or API NE included 8 Bordetella bronchiseptica (22.2%), 6 Escherichia coli (16.7%), 4 Pasteurella spp. (11.1%), 1 Enterobacter intermedius (2.8%), and 1 Oligella ureolytica (2.8%). Both Staphylococcus spp. isolates and Gram-negative pathogens were resistant to one or more antibiotics, including ampicillin (AM), amoxicillin/clavulanic acid (AMC), chloramphenicol (C), cefazolin (CZ), erythromycin (E), gentamicin (GM), kanamycin (K), lincomycin (L), oxacillin (OX), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (SXT), and tetracycline (TE). All Staphylococcus spp. were susceptible to AMC, OX and VA, while many isolates were highly resistant to L (87.5%), E (68.8%), P (62.5%), and AM (56.3%). Antibiotic-resistant patterns of staphylococcal isolates were shown ranges from single to 9-resistant patterns. Resistant rates to antibiotics of Gram-negative bacteria were usually higher than those of Staphylococcus spp. in this study. Most Gram-negative bacteria were highly resistant to L (90.0%), AM (85.0%), E (85.0%), P (85.0%), OX (80.0%), and CZ (75.0%). B. bronchiseptica isolates showed 5 to 8 antibiotics-resistant patterns and Pasteurella spp., 2 to 8-resistant patterns. In particular, all 6 E. coli isolates were resistant to more than 9 different kinds of antibiotics, including one strain resistant to all antibiotics tested.

  • Antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from both quarter teat-tip swabs and their quarter milk samples were evaluated in smallholder dairy farms in northern Thailand with excessive use of antibiotics (HIGH) compared with normal use (NORM). Results from teat-tip swab samples showed that the percentage of Bacillus spp. resistance to overall antibiotics was significantly lower in the NORM group than that of the HIGH group, whereas, the resistance percentage of coagulase-negative staphylococci in the NORM group was higher than that of the HIGH one. The overall mastitis-causing bacteria isolated from milk samples were environmental streptococci (13.8%), coagulase-negative staphylococci (9.9%), Staphylococcus aureus (5.4%), and Corynebacterium bovis (4.5%). Both staphylococci and streptococci had significantly higher percentages of resistance to cloxacillin and oxacillin in the HIGH group when compared to the NORM one. An occurrence of vancomycin-resistant bacteria was also observed in the HIGH group. In conclusion, the smallholder dairy farms with excessive use of antibiotics had a higher probability of antibiotic-resistant pattern than the farms with normal use.

  • The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) effects of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/carbon black composite materials were investigated by enhancing adhesive characteristics of electrodes and controlling HDPE chemical crosslinking. When the silver paste was used as an electrode for the same 45 wt% HDPE/carbon composites, the resistance was over 1 $\Omega$, which should be compared with the resistance of 0.2 $\Omega$ for the dendritic copper electrode. In general, the silver-paste electrode exhibited higher electrical resistance than cupper electrode due to the interfacial resistance between the electrode and PTC composites. The HDPE/carbon composite exhibited typical PTC characteristics maintaining a constant resistance up to vicat point and showing a maximum at the melting point of HDPE. The crosslinked HDPE significantly decreased the negative temperature coefficient (NTC) phenomena, and desirably showed a constant or slightly increasing feature of electrical resistance in the high temperature region.

  • Smart work, which utilizes ICT technology to work without time and space constraints, has been difficult to introduce and spread despite a lot of research and investment based on the 'smart work vitalization strategy' that began in 2010. Although the environment of COVID-19 in 2019 was an opportunity to promote the adoption of smart work. After that, many companies ended or reduced the adoption of smart work again. This study was initiated to examine the factors that resist the introduction of smart work based on the innovation resistance model and to suggest alternatives. As a result of this study, relative advantage showed a strong effect on both introduction resistance and introduction intention. However, it was confirmed that perceived risk and complexity did not directly negatively affect introduction intentions, but had a negative effect on introduction intentions through mediating resistance to introduction. Through the results of this study, it was confirmed that if the practical benefits of smart work were emphasized and negative attitudes were reduced, the resistance to introduction would be lowered and the intention to introduce it would be positively affected.
