In order to improve the cracking resistance of reinforced concrete and give full play to the advantages of prefabricated assembly structure in construction, prestressed reinforced concrete composite beam (PRCC) is proposed. Through the bending static test of seven I-shaped beam specimens, the bending failure modes and bearing capacity of PRCC and reinforced concrete composite beam are compared and analyzed, and the effects of prestress size, prestressed reinforcement layout and prestress application sequence on the flexural behavior of PRCC beams are studied. The results show that the cracking load and ultimate load of PRCC beams significantly increased after prestressing, and prestressed tendons can effectively control the crack development. With the increase of prestressing degree, the deformation resistance and bending stiffness of PRCC beams are increased. The application sequence of prestress has little influence on the mechanical properties of PRCC beams. The crack width, stiffness and normal section bearing capacity of PRCC beam are analyzed, and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

Aims: To evaluate anti-cancer activity of Asparagus racemosus (AR) leaf extract on UOK146, a renal cell carcinoma cell line, and explore its mechanism of action. Materials and Methods: Dried AR leaves were extracted with chloroform and dissolved in DMSO. This extract was applied to UOK146 and cell death was estimated by MTT assay. In addition PRCC-TFE3 fusion transcripts were detected by real time PCR. Results: Extract was found to be cytotoxic with an $IC_{50}$ of 0.9 mg/ml as estimated by dose response curve. Antitumor activity of the permissible doses of the extract was assessed by the down regulation of PRCC-TFE3 fusion transcript (38%) responsible for oncogenicity of the UOK146 cell line. No increment in the BAX, a proapoptotic marker level was observed. Conclusions: Evidence of antiproliferative effect, PRCC-TFE3 fusion transcript inhibition and static BAX level clearly indicate that AR extract provides or elicits an apoptosis independent anticancer effect on RCC cells by some specific mechanism of regulation.

Regeneration of the periodontal tissue destroyed by periodontal disease is one of the final goals of periodontal therapy. In the past few years, periodontists have used various alloplastic grafting materials in an attempt to regenerate bone lost from periodontal disease. These materials have used widely because they have shown to be nontoxic, biologically compatible with surrounding host tissue and chemically similar to bone. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Porous Resorbable Calcium Carbonate and Porous Replamineform Hydroxyapatite on the regeneration of the alveolar bone and the healing of roots transplanted into the periodontally diseased extraction sockets of dogs. The experimental chronic periodontitis was induced by elastic ligatures on the 2nd and 3rd mandibular premolars of 2 adult dogs for 8weeks after surgically creating periodontal defect. The extracted root were split in half along the long-axis, and the extend of plaque exposure was marked on the root surfaces with burs. The roots were inserted in extraction sockets with Porous Resorbable Calcium Carbonate(PRCC) in left side and with Porous Replaminefrom Hydroxyapatite(PRH) in right side. The flaps were sutured to cover the sockets completely. The animals were sacrificed after 12 weeks of healing, and the specimens were examined histologically. The results were as follows: 1. No inflammatory reactions were observed in either groups. 2. Hoot resorption was observed in both groups while the general outline of the roots were maintained. 3. PRCC was almost completely resorbed and replaced with new bone, while R.H.A. was not resorbed & remained encased in newly-formed C-T and alveolar bone. 4. PRH was encapsulated with alveolar bone which has been deposited from apical & lateral area of the sockets, while the coronal portion of the sockets were filled with C-T. 5. In both groups, the resorbed portions of the roots were replaced with new bone. These results suggest that either PRCC or PRH may not interfere with bone formation or healing in extraction sockets, and in some degree, retard the root resorption. Because the roots maintained in anatomy, we think that graft materials prevent the root resorption.

This paper presents a method of statistical analysis and sensitivity analysis of creep and shrinkage effects in PSC box girder bridges. The statistical and sensitivity analyses are performed by using the numerical simulation of Latin Hypercube sampling. For each sample, the time-dependent structural analysis is performed to produce response data, which are then statistically analyzed. The probabilistic prediction of the confidence limits on long-term effects of creep and shrinkage is then expressed. Three measures are examined to quantify the sensitivity of the outputs to each of the input variables. These are rank correlation coefficient(RCC), partial rank correlation coefficient(PRCC) and standardized rank regression coefficient(SRRC) computed on the ranks of the observations. Probability band widens with time, which indicates an increase of prediction uncertainty with time. The creep model uncertainty factor and the relative humidity appear as the most dominant factors with regard to the model output uncertainty.

프리스트레스트 콘크리트 박스 거더 교량의 장기거동의 정확한 예측은 시공중 및 완공후의 사용성 확보를 위해서 매우 중요하다. 이러한 장기거동은 콘크리트의 크리프와 건조수축등의 확률특성에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 박스거더 교량에서의 크리프와 건조수축효과의 불확실성 및 민감도 해석에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 콘크리트의 크리프와 건조수축효과의 불확실성은 입력이자의 변동성을 고려하여 산출한다. 불확실성 및 민감도 해석은 Latin Hypercube 샘플링 기법에 의해 수행하며, 각 샘플에 대하여 시간 의존적 구조해석을 하여 그 결과를 통계학적으로 분석한다. 본 연구에서는 각 입력인자의 구조해석 결과에 대한 민감도를 정량화 하기 위하여 3가지 즉, RCC, PRCC 와 SRCC 상관계수를 사용하여 민감도 해석을 수행하였다. 현재, 주로 교량설계시 사용되는 ACI모델, CEB-FIP모델과 도로교 표준시방서 모델의 민감도 분석을 수행한결과 크리프 모델 자체의 불확실성과 상대습도가 시간에 따른 변형에 가장 중요한 영향인자인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 장기거동에 영향을 미치는 주요인자를 도출하는 합리적인 해석기법을 정립하였으며, 이로부터 좀 더 합리적인 모델정립에 유용한 토대가 될 것으로 사료된다.

동적섭식경로모델 DYNACON에 대한 입력변수의 민감도 분석을 장반감기 핵종 $(^{137}Cs,\;^{90}Sr)$에 대해 침적시점의 함수로 평가하였다. 또한 장, 단기간 음식물 (곡류, 엽채류, 우유) 오염에 대한 입력변수의 영향이 고찰되었다. 입력변수는 LHS 기법으로 표본 추출되었으며, 민감도 지수는 PRCC로 나타냈다. 핵종과 음식물의 종류에 따른 민감도 지수는 침적시점 뿐 아니라 장, 단기간 오염에 있어서도 뚜렷이 다르게 나타났다. 작물의 성장기 침적의 경우 장, 단기간 오염 모두 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수가 중요하였다. 또한 작물의 비성장기 침적의 경우 단기간 오염에 있어서도 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수가 중요하였다. 장기간 오염의 경우 잎흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수의 영향은 줄고 뿌리흡수에 의한 오염 관련변수의 영향이 증가하였다. 특히 이러한 현상은 작물의 성장기 침적에 비해 비성장기 침적의 경우에, $^{l37}Cs$ 침적에 비해 $^{90}Sr$ 침적의 경우에 보다 뚜렷하였다. 목초의 성장기 침적의 경우 우유로의 핵종 전달계수, 젖소의 일일 목초 섭취량과 같은 가축 특성 관련변수가 상대적으로 우유의 오염에 중요한 입력변수로 나타났다.

This paper proposes an advanced turbo receiver with joint inter-carrier interference (ICI) self cancellation and channel equalization for multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems over rapidly time-varying channel environment. The ICI caused by impairment of local oscillators and carrier frequency offset (CFO) is the major problem for MIMO-OFDM communication systems. The existing schemes (conjugate cancellation (CC) and phase rotated conjugate cancellation (PRCC)) that deal with the ICI cancellation and channel equalization can't provide satisfactory performance over time-varying channels. In term of error rate performance and low computational complexity, ICI self cancellation is the best choice. So, this paper proposes a turbo receiver to deal with the problem of joint ICI self cancellation and channel equalization. We employ the adaptive phase rotations in the receiver to effectively track the CFO variations without feeding back the CFO estimate to the transmitter as required in traditional existing scheme. We also give some simulations to verify the proposed scheme. The proposed schene outperforms the existing schemes.

유리질산 및 불산이 제거된 산세폐액으로부터 Ni을 회수하기 위하여 컬럼식 연속추출장치에 의한 연속실험을 수행하였다. 먼저 Ni 회수 실험에 앞서 폐액중 다량 함유되어 있는 Fe나 Cr을 효과적으로 침전 제거하기 위해서는 중화제로 $CaCO_3$가 적절하며 이대 Ni은 전혀 침전되지 않는다. 한편 컬럼식 연속추출장치에 의한 No의 추출특성을 살펴보면 pulse velosity(Amplitude$\times$Frequency)가 증가함에 따라 수상과 유기상의 혼합효과가 증대되어 Ni의 추출율이 높아지고 이에 딸 HETS도 감소하고 있으나, pulse velosity가 임계치 이상으로 증가하게 되면 수상과 유기상의 강력한 혼합에 의해 원판과 원판사이에 분리층이 형성되지 못하고 컬럼 전체가 완전한 혼합 형태로 되어 추출율이 낮아지고 HETS도 길어지게 된다. 유기상에 추출된 Ni은 탈거시 탈거액으로 2M ${H}_{2}{SO}_{4}$액을 사용하면 효과적으로 농축 회수할 수 있다. 그리고 ${H}_{2}{SO}_{4}$용액중 $NiSO_4$의 용해도는 ${H}_{2}{SO}_{4}$ 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하여 2M ${H}_{2}{SO}_{4}$ 용액에서는 55 gr/$\ell$ 정도로 나타나고 있으며, 이같은 $NiSO_4$의 과포화특성을 이용하면 탈거액의 증발과정을 거치지 않고 $NiSO_4$결정을 얻을 수 있다.

Background: Renal cancer is a serious public health problem which may be under reported and registered in our setup, since the Karachi cancer registry documented only 43 cases out of 4,268 incident cancer cases over 3 year duration. Therefore we aimed to determine the clinicopathologic characteristics of adult renal tumors in our setup. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in histopathology department, Liaquat National Hospital and included total of 68 cases of adult renal tumors over 4 years. Detailed histopathologic characteristics of tumors were analyzed. Results: Mean age of patients was 56.4 (18-84) years. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was the most common cell type (78%) cases; followed by transitional/urothelial carcinoma (12.5%), leiomyosarcoma (4.7%), oncocytoma (1.6%), squamous cell carcinoma (1.6%) and high grade pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma (1.6%). Among 50 RCC cases; 62% were conventional/clear cell RCC (CCRCC) type followed by papillary RCC(PRCC), 24%; chromophobe RCC(CRCC), 6% and sarcomatoid RCC(SRCC), 8%. Mean tumor size for RCC was 7.2 cm. Most RCCs were intermediate to high grade (60% and 40% respectively). Capsular invasion, renal sinus invasion, adrenal gland involvement and renal vein invasion was seen in 40%, 18%, 2% and 10% of cases respectively. Conclusions: We found that RCC presents at an earlier age in our setup compared to Western populations. Tumor size was significantly larger and most of the tumors were of intermediate to high grade. This reflects late presentation of patients after disease progression which necessitates effective measures to be taken in primary care setup to diagnose this disease at an early stage.
