The authors performed an experimental study on the retention force in cavities with various depth and width. We used the simple model cavities which were cylindrically formed to eliminate the unexpected influence during experiment, and obtained following results. 1. The retention force in the cavities with parallel wall was vigorous even in the small cavity and increased considerably followed by extending the cavity size. 2. The ratention force resulted more vigorously by that the depth became deeper than that the distance between the lateral walls became longer. 3. Compared with the retention force in the cavities which had the same frictional lateral surface, it was more vigorous in the deeper cavity than in the cavity which was longer distance between the lateral surfaces.

Application of anchored or strutted wall system for the earth retention of excavation works in a populated urban area or a poor soil deposit can be limited due to various restrictions. Since the strut becomes longer in a wide excavation site, the stability of an earth retaining wall is decreased, the wall deformation is increased, and the ground settlement is also increased due to an increased buckling or bending deformation of struts. Especially, in a populated urban area, the installation of anchors can be problematic due to the property line of adjacent structures or facilities. Thus, a new concept of earth retaining system like Self-Supported diaphragm Wall can solve several problems expected to occur during excavation in the urban area. In this study, Numerical analyses of counterfort diaphragm wall was introduced and the monitored data from the site was compared with the original results of numerical analyses. Also, in the case of the deep excavation applied the counterfort diaphragm wall, numerical analyses was performed to predict the wall deformation and the reinforcement to reduce the wall deformation was suggested.

The effects of various supporting arrangements have been investigated on an excavation support system using a numerical tool. The purpose of providing different supporting arrangements was to limit the pile wall deflection in the range of 0.5% to 1% of the excavation depth. Firstly, a deep excavation supported by sheet pile wall was modeled and the effects of sheet pile wall thickness, excavation depth and distance to adjacent footings from sheet pile wall face were explored on the soil deformation and wall deflection. Further analysis was performed considering six different arrangements of tieback anchors and struts in order to limit the wall deflections. Case-01 represents the basic excavation geometry supported by sheet pile wall only. In Case-02, sheet pile wall was supported by struts. Case-03 is a sheet pile wall supported by tieback anchors. Likewise, for the Cases 04, 05 and 06, different arrangements of struts and tieback anchors were used. Finally, the effects of different supporting arrangements on soil deformation, sheet pile wall deflection, bending moments and anchor forces have been presented.

Purpose : To observe the effect of retention enema therapy Gamihongdeung-tang on experimentally induced endometriosis. Methods : Rats with surgically induced endometriosis were administered in Gamihongdeung-tang rectally. After treatment for 40 days, the serum concentrations of progesterone, estradiol, tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$(TNF-${\alpha}$),　interleukin(IL)-2,　IL-4, IL-6 and IL-10 were measured. Results : The size of the ectopic uterine implants in the treated group was much smaller than that in the control group. The concentration of estradiol was significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. The IL-4, IL-6 levels were significantly lower in the experimental groups than the control groups. TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-2 levels were lower and IL-10 level was higher in the experimental groups than in the control groups but the difference was not significent. The progesterone level was similar in the experimental and control group. Conclusion : These results indicate that Retention enema therapy with Gamihongdeung-tang reduces the size of ectopic uterine implants at the serosal wall and inhibits the growth of ectopic uterine implants. This suggests that retention enema therapy with Gamihongdeung-tang is an effective treatment for endometriosis.

A new earth retention system(Innovative Prestressed Wale System) has been developed and introduced. IPR earth retention system provides an economical benefit, construction easiness, good performance and safety. IPS is a prestressed wale by using a steel wire, which provides a high stiffness to resist the earth pressure. In order to investigate the applicability and the safety of new IPS system, field tests were performed. A new IPS system applied in a trench excavation performed successfully. Basic principles and mechanism of IPS system and measure performance were presented and discussed.

A new type of compliant press-fit pin has been developed and evaluated for use packaging of electronic telecommunications equipments. Main requirements for design are defined the upper limit of pin insertion force and the lower limit of pin retention force. Upper limit of pin insertion force is set to protect the copper plate of the inner PTH wall. Lower limit of pin retention force is set to satisfy a wire-wrapping specification. Results are represented by insertion force and retention force variations according to the front angle, rear angle and material, etc.

An equivalent retention has been experimentally observed in thermal field-flow fractionation (ThFFF) for different polymer-solvent systems. It is shown that iso-retention between two sets of polymer-solvent systems can be obtained by adjusting the temperature difference (ΔT) according to the difference in the ratio of ordinary diffusion coefficient to thermal diffusion coefficient. This method uses a compensation of field strength (ΔT) in ThFFF at a fixed condition of cold wall temperature. It is applied for the calculation of molecular weight of polymers based on a calibration run of different standards obtained at an adjusted AT. The polymer standards used in this study are polystyrene (PS), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and polytetrahydrofuran (PTHF). Three carrier solvents, tetrahydrofuran (THF), methylethylketone (MEK) and ethylacetate (ETAc) were employed. Though the accuracy in the calculation of molecular weight is dependent on the difference in the slope of log λ vs. log M which is related to Mark-Houwink constant a, it shows reasonable agreement within about 6% of relative error in molecular weight calculation for the polymer-solvent systems having similar a value.

A model test was performed to evaluate the stability of a new earth retention system with a prestressed wale. For the model test, the dimensional analysis of a full-scaled earth retention system with prestressed wales was performed. Details of the dimensional analysis of the new earth retention system were presented in this paper. Based on the results of the dimensional analysis, the model-scaled earth retention system with a prestressed wale was simulated. The lateral earth pressures on the wall, the lateral deflection of the prestressed wale, the sectional force on members of the prestressed wale system, and the loads of struts were measured during construction simulation. The measured results were evaluated and compared with those of the design criterion. From the measurements, the behavior of this earth retention system was investigated.

The retention of a molten pool vessel cooled by internal vessel reflooding and/or external vessel reactor cavity flooding has been considered as one of severe accident management strategies. The present numerical study investigates the effect of both internal and external vessel mixed cooling on an internally heated molten pool. The molten pool is confined in a hemispherical vessel with reference to the thermal behavior of the vessel wall. In this study, our numerical model used a scaled-down reactor vessel of a KSNP (Korea Standard Nuclear Power) reactor design of 1000 MWe (a Pressurized Water Reactor with a large and dry containment). Well-known temperature-dependent boiling heat transfer curves are applied to the internal and external vessel cooling boundaries. Radiative heat transfer has been considered in the case of dry internal vessel boundary condition. Computational results show that the external cooling vessel boundary conditions have better effectiveness than internal vessel cooling in the retention of the melt pool vessel failure.
