Silk is produced by a variety of insects, but only silk made by terrestrial arthropods has been examined in detail. To fill the gap, this study was designed to understand the silk spinning system of aquatic insect. The larvae of caddis flies, Hydatophylax nigrovittatus produce silk through a pair of labial silk glands and use raw silk to protect themselves in the aquatic environment. The result of this study clearly shows that although silk fibers are made under aquatic conditions, the cellular silk production system is quite similar to that of terrestrial arthropods. Typically, silk production in caddisworm has been achieved by two independent processes in the silk glands. This includes the synthesis of silk fibroin in the posterior region, the production of adhesive glycoproteins in the anterior region, which are ultimately accumulated into functional silk dope and converted to a silk ribbon coated with gluey substances. At the cellular level, each substance of fibroin and glycoprotein is specifically synthesized at different locations, and then transported from the rough ER to the Golgi apparatus as transport vesicles, respectively. Thereafter, the secretory vesicles gradually increase in size by vesicular fusion, forming larger secretory granules containing specific proteins. It was found that these granules eventually migrate to the apical membrane and are exocytosed into the lumen by a mechanism of merocrine secretion.

In this paper, I revisit and problematize "blackness" in THH by building on Toni Morrison's call for the theorization of "blackness" in American literature. THH has received much critical attention in the decades that followed its revival, but this paper argues that the meaning of "Africanist presence" has not been adequately addressed in 19th-century women writers' works. This paper is an effort to fill in this gap, and examines the ways in which "blackness" informed and shaped this most popular text of 19th-century America. This paper argues that THH demonstrates contemporary America's fear of "blackness," and rather than celebrating Capitola's feminist credentials or criticizing the lack of sensitivity to racial issues in THH, shows that the significance of the text lies in the ways in which it prophesies an impending national crisis mediated through the disruptive force of Capitola and Black Donald. THH certainly reiterates the popular, contemporary racial paradigms and excludes blacks from the conceptualization of "manhood," and it may seem that the issue of race is subsumed under gender issues when the text continuously privileges gender over race. However, at the same time, Black Donald and Capitola's disruptive energies signify the fear of explosive "blackness," and the disruptive stirrings of "blackness" permeate the novel as the energy that might rupture the seemingly tranquil order of antebellum South. The novel encodes and reflects the fear of blackness in the minds of its readers, and the popularity of this novel foretells nothing less than the explosion of Civil War.

Calcareous soil is originated from marine biogenic sediments and weathering of carbonate rocks. The formation history for calcareous sediment includes complex physical, biological and chemical processes. It is preferably selected as the major fill materials for hydraulic reclamation and artificial island construction. Calcareous sands possess inter pores and complex shape are liable to be damaged at normal working stress level due to its fragile nature. Thus, the engineering properties of calcareous soil are greatly affected by its high compressibility and crushability. A series of triaxial shear tests were performed on calcareous sands derived from South China Sea under different test conditions. The effects of confining pressure, particle size, grading, compactness, drainage condition, and water content on the total amount of particle breakage for calcareous soil were symmetrically investigated. The test results showed that the crushing extent of calcareous sand with full gradation was smaller than that a single particle group under the same test condition. Large grains are cushioned by surrounding small particles and such micro-structure reduces the probability of breakage for well-graded sands. The increasing tendency of particle crushing for calcareous sand with a rise in confining pressure and compactness is confirmed. It is also evident that a rise in water content enhances the amount of particle breakage for calcareous sand. However, varying tendency of particle breakage with grain size is still controversial and requires further examination.

Dynamic Stall is a flow phenomenon which occurs on the retreating side of helicopter rotor blades during forward flight. It also occurs on blades of stall regulated wind turbines under yawing conditions as well as during gust loads. Time scales occurring during this process are comparable on both helicopter and wind turbine blades. Dynamic Stall limits the speed of the helicopter and its manoeuvrability and limits the amount of power production of wind turbines. Extensive numerical as well as experimental investigations have been carried out recently to get detailed insight into the very complex flow structures of the Dynamic Stall process. Numerical codes have to be based on the full equations, i.e. the Navier-Stokes equations to cover the scope of the problems involved: Time dependent flow, unsteady flow separation, vortex development and shedding, compressibility effects, turbulence, transition and 3D-effects, etc. have to be taken into account. In addition to the numerical treatment of the Dynamic Stall problem suitable wind tunnel experiments are inevitable. Comparisons of experimental data with calculated results show us the state of the art and validity of the CFD-codes and the necessity to further improve calculation procedures. In the present paper the phenomenon of Dynamic Stall will be discussed first. This discussion is followed by comparisons of some recently obtained experimental and numerical results for an oscillating helicopter airfoil under Dynamic Stall conditions. From the knowledge base of the Dynamic Stall Problems, the next step can be envisaged: to control Dynamic Stall. The present discussion will address two different Dynamic Stall control methodologies: the Nose-Droop concept and the application of Leading Edge Vortex Generators (LEVoG's) as examples of active and passive control devices. It will be shown that experimental results are available but CFD-data are only of limited comparison. A lot of future work has to be done in CFD-code development to fill this gap. Here mainly 3D-effects as well as improvements of both turbulence and transition modelling are of major concern.

The influence of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) thin films degraded under high temperature and damp heat on the performance deterioration of Cu(In,Ga)$Se_2$ (CIGS) solar cells was investigated. CIGS solar cells with AZO/CdS/CIGS/Mo structure were prepared on glass substrate and exposed to high temperature ($85^{\circ}C$) and damp heat ($85^{\circ}C$/85% RH) for 1000 h. As-prepared CIGS solar cells had 64.91% in fill factor (FF) and 12.04% in conversion efficiency. After exposed to high temperature, CIGS solar cell had 59.14% in FF and 9.78% in efficiency, while after exposed to damp heat, it had 54.00% in FF and 8.78% in efficiency. AZO thin films in the deteriorated CIGS solar cells showed increases in resistivity up to 3.1 times and 4.4 times compared to their initial resistivity after 1000 h of high temperature and damp heat exposure, respectively. These results can be explained by the decreases in carrier concentration and mobility due to diffusion or adsorption of oxygen and moisture in AZO thin films. It can be inferred that decreases in FF and conversion efficiency were caused by an increase in series resistance, which resulted from an increase in resistivity of AZO thin films degraded under high temperature and damp heat.

Paper mill sludges are discharged around 870,000 M/T annually. Only 30% of the paper mill sludge have been recycled and the rest has been disposed by land fill, incineration, ocean abandonment and other ways. Because of overall prohibition of sludge disposal by London Dumping Convention in 2012, a urgent counter measure for paper mill sludge must be provided. In this paper, some basic experiments were carried out to develop a tray cell pot using paper mill sludge for increasing the recycling potential of the wasted sludge. To establish the manufacturing parameters, the tray cell pots were made with three types of materials including virgin pulp, old news paper and corrugated board mixed in a blend tank of a molding machine. The bending force and moisture content of the produced tray cell pots was measured to confirm the application capability. The tray cell pot could be manufactured under the condition of over 20% of virgin pulp, 40% of old news paper added. However, the corrugated board could not be used because of the glutinous substance included. The produced tray cell pot absorbed water very easily and the bending force decreased rapidly. The waterproof material must be used to applicate the produced tray cell pot in plant growing fields.

CFRD (콘크리트 표면 차수벽형 석괴댐)에서 수행한 전기비저항 탐사 결과, 하부에서 매우 낮은 비저항대가 관측되었다. 일반적으로 CFRD 형식의 댐은 내부 포화가 발생하지 않는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 금번 조사에서 하부 20m 깊이에서 일정하게 저비저항대가 발견되어 이에 대한 검토를 위해 3차원 해석을 수행하였다. 탐사 당시의 수위는 댐 정상부에서 10m 정도 내려가 있는 상태였다. 첫 탐사 이후 6개월이 지난 후에 이루어진 탐사에서도 비슷한 양상을 보이고 있었다. 이에 대한 해석을 위해서 조사 댐의 모양을 대상으로 3차원 순산 모델링을 수행하고, 이에 대한 2차원 역산 해석을 적용하여 기존 해석 방법의 오류 가능성을 검토하였다. 또한 비저항 조사가 많이 적용된 중심코아 형 댐의 경우의 사례와 비교하였다. 해석 결과, 3차원 댐체 구조에 대한 2차원 역산 해석은 저수부의 수위와 밀접한 관련을 갖는 것으로 보이며, 3차원의 사다리꼴 기하구조로 인하여 댐 내부에 비저항의 이상대가 존재할 경우에도 그 민감도가 떨어지는 것으로 분석되었다.

본 논문은 폐기물의 하중과 침출수위의 변화를 고려할 수 있는 컴퓨터 프로그램 CONSOL을 이용하여 폐기물 매립이 진행되는 동안과 이후의 해안 폐기물 매립장의 압밀침하량을 분석하였다. 또한, 이들 변화된 기초점토지반 강도특성하에서 매립지 기초지반을 포함한 제체사면의 안정성 해석을 수행하였으며, 현장 침하계측자료와 본 논문의 이론적 침하량을 비교 검토하였다. 그 결과, 단계별 폐기물 매립이 실시됨에도 침출수위가 함께 상승할 경우 점토지반의 강도를 향상시키는 유효응력 증가가 거의 없어 매립높이가 증가할수록 안정성이 확보되기 어려운 것으로 나타났으며, 그 결과 매립경사구배를 낮추거나 배수공법에 의한 침출수위를 절감시키는 등의 보완 작업이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 압밀해석으로부터 구한 침하량은 실측침하량 자료와 비교적 잘 일치하였다.

지중매설구조물의 하중저감과 관련하여 미국과 캐나다에서는 점토, 이토, 지푸라기 등의 압축재를 이용한 유도고랑 관거(induced-trench)기법에 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 일본과 노르웨이 등에서는 압축재로서 EPS 블럭을 이용한 하중 저감 방안에 대한 현장 시험시공을 통한 연구가 수행된 바 있다. 이와 같이 아칭효과를 극대화시키는 재료인 EPS 블록을 이용한 고성토 매설구조물 구축공법은 작용하중 저감에 따른 경제적인 구조물 단면의 선정, 구조물의 안정성 증대, 시공의 용이성 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 연성 관거인 파형강관에 대한 토압 저감을 대상으로 아칭재인 EPS의 아칭 효과에 따른 토압 저감 효과를 분석하였다. 일련의 EPS를 이용한 하중 저감 평가시험이 수행되었으며, 현장 시험을 기초로 한 수직 토압 저감효과는 일반적인 연성관거에 비해 약 35∼40% 정도인 것으로 평가되었다.
