The majority of connections in moment resisting frames are considered as being fully-rigid. Consequently, the real behavior of the connection, which has some level of flexibility, is ignored. This may result in inaccurate predictions of structural response. This study investigates the influence of flexibility of the extended end-plate connections in the steel moment frames. This is done at two levels. First, the actual micro-behavior of extended end-plate moment connections is explored with respect to joint flexibility. Then, the macro-behavior of frames with end-plate moment connections is investigated using modal, nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses. In all models, the P-Delta effects along with material and geometrical nonlinearities were included in the analyses. Results revealed considerable differences between the behavior of the structural frame with connections modeled as fully-rigid versus those when flexibility was incorporated, specifically difference occurred in the natural periods, strength, and maximum inter-story drift angle.

A finite element (FE) model for analyzing slender reinforced high-strength concrete (HSC) columns under biaxial eccentric loading is formulated in terms of the Euler-Bernoulli theory. The cross section of columns is divided into discrete concrete and reinforcing steel fibers so as to account for varied material properties over the section. The interaction between axial and bending fields is introduced in the FE formulation so as to take the large-displacement or P-delta effects into consideration. The proposed model aims to be simple, user-friendly, and capable of simulating the full-range inelastic behavior of reinforced HSC slender columns. The nonlinear model is calibrated against the experimental data for slender column specimens available in the technical literature. By using the proposed model, a numerical study is carried out on pin-ended slender HSC square columns under axial compression and biaxial bending, with investigation variables including the load eccentricity and eccentricity angle. The calibrated model is expected to provide a valuable tool for more efficiently designing HSC columns.

This study was performed to analyze the effects of ultra fine pulverization (UFP) on the physicochemical properties of sweet potato starch (SPS). The average diameter and specific surface area of the SPS was decreased from 22.94 to 10.25 $\mu$m and from 0.879 to 1.909 $m^2$ /g throughout UFP, respectively, and the damaged starch content was increased from 13.7 to 99.2%. The pulverized sweet potato starch (PSPS) had higher swelling power, solubility, and transmittance values than the SPS. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the SPS had a C-type pattern, which disappeared in PSPS. The rapid visco analysis (RVA) characteristics, peak viscosity, break down, and set back of SPS ceased to exist in PSPS. According to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves, the peak temperature ($T_p$) and gelatinization enthalpy ($\Delta$E) of SPS were $71.95^{\circ}C$ and 10.40 J/g, respectively, while these remained undetected in PSPS. The enzymatic digestibilities of SPS and PSPS were 61.7 and 84.7%, respectively.

Pure $BiFeO_3$ (BFO) and (Eu, V) co-doped $Bi_{0.9}Eu_{0.1}Fe_{0.975}V_{0.025}O_{3+{\delta}}$ (BEFVO) thin films were deposited on $Pt(111)/Ti/SiO_2/Si(100)$ substrates by chemical solution deposition. The effects of co-doping were observed by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrical properties of the BEFVO thin film were improved as compared to those of the pure BFO thin film. The remnant polarization ($2P_r$) of the BEFVO thin film was approximately $26{\mu}C/cm^2$ at a maximum electric field of 1,190 kV/cm with a frequency of 1 kHz. The leakage current density of the co-doped BEFVO thin film ($4.81{\times}10^{-5}A/cm^2$ at 100 kV/cm) was two orders of magnitude lower than of that of the pure BFO thin film.

A robust element is essential for successful design of steel frames with Direct analysis (DA) method. To this end, an innovative and efficient curved-quartic-function (CQF) beam-column element using the fourth-order polynomial shape function with end-springs in series is proposed for practical applications of DA. The member initial imperfection is explicitly integrated into the element formulation, and, therefore, the P-${\delta}$ effect can be directly captured in the analysis. The series of zero-length springs are placed at the element ends to model the effects of semi-rigid joints and material yielding. One-element-per-member model is adopted for design bringing considerable savings in computer expense. The incremental secant stiffness method allowing for large deflections is used to describe the kinematic motion. Finally, several problems are studied in this paper for examining and validating the accuracy of the present formulations. The proposed element is believed to make DA simpler to use than existing elements, which is essential for its successful and widespread adoption by engineers.

Despite its disadvantages, soft story can reduce the damage to the upper floors by concentrating drift in that specific story provided that large drifts are avoided. Gapped-Inclined Brace (GIB) with reduced P-delta effects and the control of soft story stiffness makes it possible to take advantage of the soft story in buildings and increase their capacity for energy dissipation. OpenSees software is used in this study to validate and modify the GIB model's shortcomings. Also, the analysis method for this element is changed for design. The modified element is evaluated in 3D analysis. Finally, to retrofit an existing building, this element is used. Based on the Iranian seismic code, a six-story reinforced concrete building is modelled and studied with 3D analysis. In this building, the construction shortcomings and elimination of infills on the ground floor cause the formation of a soft story. Results of nonlinear static analysis, nonlinear dynamic, and incremental dynamic analysis using both components of seismic acceleration applied to the structure at different angles and the fragility curves indicate the improvement of the retrofitted structure's performance using the modified element to reach the required performance level following the retrofit code.

Highly luminescent and monodisperse InP quantum dots (QDs) were prepared by a non-organometallic approach in a non-coordinating solvent. Fatty acids with well-defined chain lengths as the ligand, a non coordinating solvent, and a thorough degassing process are all important factors for the formation of high quality InP QDs. By varying the molar concentration of indium to ligand, QDs of different size were prepared and their absorption and emission behaviors studied. By spin-coating a colloidal solution of InP QD onto a silicon wafer, InP QD thin films were obtained. The thickness of the thin films cured at 60 and $200^{\circ}C$ were nearly identical (approximately 860 nm), whereas at $300^{\circ}C$, the thickness of the thin film was found to be 760 nm. Different contrast regions (A, B, C) were observed in the TEM images, which were found to be unreacted precursors, InP QDs, and indium-rich phases, respectively, through EDX analysis. The optical properties of the thin films were measured at three different curing temperatures (60, 200, $300^{\circ}C$), which showed a blue shift with an increase in temperature. It was proposed that this blue shift may be due to a decrease in the core diameter of the InP QD by oxidation, as confirmed by the XPS studies. Oxidation also passivates the QD surface by reducing the amount of P dangling bonds, thereby increasing luminescence intensity. The dielectric properties of the thin films were also investigated by capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) device. At 60 and $300^{\circ}C$, negative flat band shifts (${\Delta}V_{fb}$) were observed, which were explained by the presence of P dangling bonds on the InP QD surface. At $300^{\circ}C$, clockwise hysteresis was observed due to trapping and detrapping of positive charges on the thin film, which was explained by proposing the existence of deep energy levels due to the indium-rich phases.

전자파는 열적 또는 비열적 작용에 의해 신경조직에 다양한 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 미세한 전자파에 노출되기 전에 칼슘통로차단제인 nimodipine 처리를 한 토끼의 EEG를 측정함으로써 전자파 조사시 중추신경계의 반응 및 그것에 대한 nimodipine의 영향을 평가하려고 하였다. 10마리씩 이루어진 두 집단의 토끼에 각기 10dBm, 20dBm의 전력밀도를 가진 2,450 MHz의 전자파를 10분간 조사한 후 EEG 신호를 측정하여 전자파에 노출되지 않은 다른 10 마리의 토끼의 EEG 신호와 비교하였다. 그다음 20 dBm의 전자파에 노출시키기 전에 nimodipine을 정맥주사한 토끼의 뇌파를 생리식염수만 주사한 토끼의 뇌파와 비교하였다. 10dBm의 전자파 조사시에는 뇌파의 변화가 없었으나, 20 dBm의 전자파 조사시 EEG 전압의 감소 및 delta bank의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band 의 현저한 감소와 alpha 및 beta band의 증가를 알아낼 수 있었다. 그러나 국소적인 혈관 주위 염증반응 이외의 뇌세포의 이상소견은 관찰되지 않았다. 그리고 이러한 변화는 nimodipine 처리에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았다. 전자파조사시 nimodipine처리한 토끼의 뇌파에서 처리하지 않은 토끼와의 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 못했기 때문에 이러한 효과는 열적 효과로 보여진다.

Phenethyltosylate와 치환 피리딘의 반응속도를 전기전도법으로 아세트니트릴 용매에서 50, 60, 및 70$^{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. 이 반응에서의 피리딘의 치환기 효과를 검토한 결과 피리딘의 전자주는 능력이 강할 수록 반응은 빨랐다. $E_{\alpha}$와 ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$ 사이에는 동속관계가 성립되었고 동속온도는 240$^{\circ}$K 였다. Bronsted 도시는 4-아미노피리딘을 제외하고는 1ogk=0.22pKa-3.7l (r=0.986)의 직선이 얻어졌다. Hammett 식에서도 역시 4-아미노피리딘을 제외하고 logk=-1.33${\sigma}$+0.08 (r=-0 987)의 직선이었다. 이와 같이 4-아미노피리딘의 편차는 용매효과와 공명효과 및 ${\sigma}$ 값 그 자체에 기인된다고 생각된다. 이상의 결과로서 본 반응은 전이상태에서 C…N 결합형성에 의하여 반응이 결정되는 $S_N2$ 반응메카니즘으로 진행된다는 것을 알았다.

활성탄과 제올라이트에 대한 $H_2$, $CH_4$, CO, $CO_2$에 대한 흡착평형 실험을 정적부피법에 의해 수행하였다. 활성탄과 제올라트를 이용한 4탑 PSA 공정을 통하여 다성분 혼합기체($H_2$ 72.2%, $CH_4$ 4.06%, CO 2.03%, $CO_2$ 21.6%)로부터 수소를 분리하는 연구를 수행하였다. 흡착평형 실험결과 각각의 기체들에 대하여 dual-site langmuir(DSL) 모델이 잘 예측을 하였으며, 활성탄과 제올라이트의 충전비율에 따른 파과특성을 살펴본 결과 최적의 활성탄 층의 높이는 전체 탑 길이 80 cm 중 55 cm로 나타났다. PSA 공정에서 공정 변수인 총 주기시간($T_c$), 세정기체 공급압력차(${\Delta}P$) 그리고 흡착압력이 공정효율에 미치는 영향을 실험과 전산모사를 통해 그 결과를 비교하였다.
