In this paper, the advanced explicit algorithm is proposed to simulate the stress-erection process analysis of Strarch system. The Strarch(Stressed-Arch) system is a unique and innovative structural system and member prestress comprising prefabricated plane truss frames which are erected by a post-tensioning stress-erection procedure. The flexible bottom chord which have sleeve and gap detail are closed by the reaction force of prestressing tendon. The prestress imposing to the tendon will make the Strarch system to be erected. This post tensioning process is called as "stress-erection process". During the stress-erection process, the plastic rigid body rotation is occurred to the flexible top chord by the excessive amount of plastic strain, and the structural characteristic becomes to be unstable. In this study, the large deformational beam-column element with plastic hinge is used to model the flexible top chord, and the advanced Dynamic Relaxation method(DRM) are applied to the unstable problem of stress-erection process of Strarch system. Finally, the verification of proposed explicit algorithm is evaluated by analysing the stress-erection of real project of Strarch system.

This study uses an explicit numerical algorithm to evaluate the ultimate load capacity analysis of a unit Strarch frame, accounting for the initial imperfection effects of the stress-erection process. Displacement-based filament beam element and an explicit dynamic relaxation method with kinetic damping are used to achieve the analysis. The section is composed of the finite number of filaments that can be conveniently modeled by various material models. Ramberg-Osgood and bilinear kinematic elastic plastic material models are formulated to analyze the nonlinear material behaviors of filaments. The numerical results obtained in the present study are compared with the results of experiment for stress-erection and buckling of unit Strarch frames.

In this study, the explicit numerical algorithm was proposed to simulate the stress erection process and ultimate-load analysis of the strarch (stressed arch) system. The strarch system is a unique and innovative structural system and member prestress comprising prefabricated plane truss frames erected through a post-tensioning stress erection procedure. The flexible bottom chord, which has sleeve and gap details, is closed by the reaction force of the prestressing tendon. The prestress imposed on the tendon will enable the strarch system to be erected. This post-tensioning process is called "stress erection process." During this process, plastic rigid-body rotation occurs to the flexible top chord due to the excessive amount of plastic strain, and the structural characteristic is unstable. In this study, the dynamic relaxation method (DRM) was adopted to calculate the nonlinear equilibrium equation of the system, and a displacement-based finite-element-formulated filament beam element was used to simulate the nonlinear behavior of the top chord sections of the strarch system. The section of the filament beam element was composed by the amount of filaments, which can be modeled by various material models. The Ramberg-Osgood and bilinear kinematic elastic plastic material models were formulated for the nonlinear material behaviors of the filaments. The numerical results that were obtained in the present study were compared with the experiment results of the stress erection and with the results of the ultimate-load analysis of the strarch unit frame. The results of the present studies are in good agreement with the previous experiment results, and the explicit DRM enabled the analysis of the post-buckling behaviors of the strarch unit frame.

The optimal cultural conditions for production of the bluish purple prgment by the cultivation of Streptomyces californicus KS-89 were determined with various substrates. The carbon and nitrogen sources on the production of pigment indicated that soluble strarch and glycerol as carbon sources and sodium glutamate sodium nitrate as nitrogen sources given a mzimum yield of the pigment at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. The addition of ferrous sulfate was essential. The highest production of pigment was observed with cultivation in a medium containing 2.0% soluble starch 1% glycerol 0.5% sodium glutamate 0.05% sodim nitrate 0.001% L-proline 0.025% K2HPO4 0.005% MgSO4 .7H2O, 0.04% FeSO4.7H2O, 0.001% thiamine.HCl and pH7.0.

Structures of the adventitious root meristem induced from callus culture of tobaco (Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC 82) leaves were investigated by light and transmission electron microscopy. Structural differences between in vitro root and callus cells were also examined by the microscopy. The submicroscopic features of the in vitro root cells were as follows. Intercellular spaces were not developed and nuclei with two nucleoli were observed occasionally. Plasmodesmate were found in groups or sing1y on transverse and longitudinal walls. Amyloplast solely filled with starch grains, with one to five electron - dense bands, was surrounded by single membrane. in the callus cells, vacuolization of central part in the cytoplasm having mitochondria with swollen cristae and starch grains like those of in vitro root cells was a distinct feature. Vesicles which were found between cell wall and plasma membrane may be arisen by a process of protoplasmic invagination. By comparing of ultrastructures between the cells of callus and in vitro roots we found that the distinct differences lied on thickened cell walls and hypertrophed vacuoles in the former, and less thickened cell walls and several small vacuoles in the later.
