  • A vast amount of experimental and analytical research has been conducted related to the seismic behavior and performance of concrete filled steel tubular (CFT) columns. This research has resulted in a wealth of information on the component behavior. However, analytical and experimental data for structural systems with CFT columns is limited, and the well-known behavior of steel or concrete structures is assumed valid for designing these systems. This paper presents the development of an analytical model for nonlinear analysis of composite moment resisting frame (CFT-MRF) systems with CFT columns and steel wide-flange (WF) beams under seismic loading. The model integrates component models for steel WF beams, CFT columns, connections between CFT columns and WF beams, and CFT panel zones. These component models account for nonlinear behavior due to steel yielding and local buckling in the beams and columns, concrete cracking and crushing in the columns, and yielding of panel zones and connections. Component tests were used to validate the component models. The model for a CFT-MRF considers second order geometric effects from the gravity load bearing system using a lean-on column. The experimental results from the testing of a four-story CFT-MRF test structure are used as a benchmark to validate the modeling procedure. An analytical model of the test structure was created using the modeling procedure and imposed-displacement analyses were used to reproduce the tests with the analytical model of the test structure. Good agreement was found at the global and local level. The model reproduced reasonably well the story shear-story drift response as well as the column, beam and connection moment-rotation response, but overpredicted the inelastic deformation of the panel zone.

  • To evaluate the quality of Kochujang with starch syrup (SS), mixture of wheat flour (WF) and SS were used as a source of starch. Moisture content was no great difference between samples and was slowly increased during aging. pH of Kochujang was slowly decreased and that of C group (using mixture of WF 50% and SS 50%) was the lowest in 50days. Titrable acidity was increased at initial stage, but mostly decreased about 40~50 days. The content of reducing sugar was increased till 25days. The content of amino nitrogen was increased till 60 days and sample with more WF was showed high value.

  • Modification of polylactic acid (PLA) and 10% maleic anhydride (MAH) with 15% dicumyl peroxide (DCP) based on MAH weight was conducted in the kneader at $160^{\circ}C$ and 30~70 rpm, for 15 min. The resulting MAH-modified PLA (PLA-MA) was then evaluated as a compatibilizer for PLA-wood flour (WF) composites. The FTIR and $^1H$-NMR analysis gave evidence of PLA-MA formation. After kneading and reacting with MAH and DCP, the number (Mn) and the weight average (Mw) molecular weights of PLA decreased as compared to the original PLA. The presence of WF in the composites decreased the tensile strength and several other physical properties. The higher the WF loading resulted in the greater the reduction of tensile strength. An addition of 10% PLA-MA as a compatibilizer to the composites improved the tensile strength and several other physical properties, increased the flow temperature, and decreased the melt viscosity. The improved composite revealed 1.42 times increased in tensile strength but not over PLA alone, and absorbed considerably less water compared to those of the composites free-compatibilizer.

  • Water factory 21(WF 2) in Orange County California, is a advanced wastewater treatment(AWT) plant designed to reclaim biologically treated munidpal wastewater for injection into a seawater barrier system. Processes included are lime treatment air stripping, filtration, activated carbon adsorption, reverse osmosis(RO), and chlorination. The effectiveness of each treatment process is presented including pretreatment, RO dimineralization. The data collected show that the processes, including RO, used at WF-21 are capable of producing a very high quality water on a reliable basis. Treatment reduced all contaminants, to levels below national primary drinldng water regulation maximum contaminant levels. It was found that lime clarified secondary effluent can be used as feedwater to a RO dimineralizer. Experiments with new low pressure membrane(250psi) show great potential for reducing RO cost.

  • Crude extract of young dangyuja (Citrus grandis Osbeck) fruit was investigated for its antioxidant activity as measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity. Among the samples, including 4 Citrus species and various solvent-extracted-fractions of young dangyuja fruit, the water-extracted fraction (WF) and butanol-extracted fraction (BF) showed the greatest DPPH free radical scavenging activity. WF and BF were further examined for their antioxidant activities by three different in vitro assays. The cell viability tests using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) reduction assay showed that both fractions significantly reduced $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity in HepG2 cells dose-dependently. Generation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) was also reduced in cells pretreated with both fractions. In addition, BF showed a higher level of lipid peroxidation inhibitory capacity than WF in $H_2O_2$-treated HepG2 cells. Taken together, these results indicate that young dangyuja fruit can be used as an easily accessible source of natural antioxidants.

  • In this study, polyester DTY faille(yoryu) and N/NP microfiber fabrics were pretreated (desizing, scouring and shrinking) by Continuous Scouring and Shringking Equipment with rota-drum and conveyor type in which types were different with retaining method. The results were as follows. The shrinkage ratio of wp/wf direction of DTY fabrics scoured by conveyor type was 1.5/23% higher than those by rota-drum type at $97^\circ{C}$ with 10min. treatment. In this case, The shrinkage ratio of wp/wf direction by those types was about 15/27%, respectively. The shrinkage ratio of wp/wf direction of N/NP microfiber fabrics scoured by conveyor type was 1.5/23% higher than that by rota-drum type at $97^\circ{C}$ with 10min. treatment. The size add-on of DTY fabrics scoured at $97^\circ{C}$ with 10min. treatment by conveyor type and by rota-drum type were 0.15% and 0.42%, respectively. The size add-on of DTY fabric treated by rota-drum type decreased until 9min. of treated time, but increased after 9min. The size add-on of N/NP microfiber fabrics treated by conveyor type was decreased by increasing temperature and treated time, while the size add-on of that treated by rota-drum type was decreased until 6min. treated time and increased after 6min. The size add-on of N/NP microfiber fabrics treated by conveyor type at $97^\circ{C}$ for 10min. was 0.3% lower than that by rota-drum type.

  • 실리콘 산화막 위에 구리 확산 방지막으로서 W-N 박막을 $NH_3$ 펄스 플라즈마를 이용한 원자층 증착방법으로 형성하였다. 플라즈마 원자층 증착방법 (PPALD)은 일반적인 원자층 증착방법(ALD)의 성장 기구를 그대로 따라 간다. 그러나 일반적인 ALD 방법에 의해 증착한 W-N 박막에 비해 PPALD 방법으로 증착한 W-N 박막은 F 함유량과 비저항이 감소하였고 열적 안정성에 대한 특성도 향상되었다. 또한 $WF_6$ 가스는 실리콘 산화막과 반응을 하지 않기 때문에 $WF_6$ 가스와 $NH_3$ 가스를 사용해서 ALD 증착방법으로 실리콘 산화막 위에 W-N 박막을 증착하기 어려운 문제점(8,9)을 $NH_3$ 반응종으로 실리콘 산화막 표면을 먼저 변형시켜 $WF_6$ 가스가 산화막과 반응을 할 수 있게 함으로써 ALD 방법으로 W-N 박막을 실리콘 산화막 위에 증착 할 수 있었다.

  • For the effective use of soymilk residue(SR), by-product of soymilk production, Wheat Doenjang made of Wheat flour-SR koji(WFSR koji) and soybean was manufactured. As the results, the contents of reducing sugar were increased till 50 days in all samples and decreased thereafter during aging of the mash. The contents of amino nitrogen were prominently increased till 50 days, but increasing ratio was slightly slowdowned thereafter. The higher the mixing ratio of SR was, the less the contents of reducing sugar and amino nitrogen were. The contents of total acid were also prominently increased till 40 days, but were slowdowned thereafter and the differences among all treatments were small. As the mixing ratio of SR was increased, the yellowness and the redness were increased and the lightness was decreased in 80 days aged samples. In sensory evaluation of 90 day aged samples, control [WFSR koji 100 (WF: SR ; 100 : 0), soybean 100] was the best in soy sprout Doenjang soup. As the mixing ratio of SR was increased, the taste was dropped slightly but no significant differences were obtained between control and sample A[WFSR koji 125 (WF: SR ; 100 : 25), soybean 75], sample B[WFSR koji 150(WF: SR ; 100 : 50), soybean 50] and sample C[WFSR koji 175 (WF: SR ; 100 : 75), soybean 25], sample C and sample D[WFSR koji 200(WF: SR ; 100 : 100), soybean 0].

  • Alteration in the syntesis or enhanced inactivation of nitric oxide(NO) can induce impairment of endothelial cell function. Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM) is characterized by impaired endothelial function and vascular disease. NO is produced through L-arginine pathway To elucidate the hypothesis that the decreased production on NO in IDDM reflects vascular damage and the NO production can be manipulated by either dietary fat(7% of kg diet) or the oral supplementation with L-arginine(2g/kg bw), plasma markers for vascular endothelial damage and plasma lipid profiles were measured in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic or normal Sprague-Dawley rats were fed 6 different experimental diets for 4 weeks(SO : soybean oil, SOA: soybean oil + L-arginine supplementation, BT : beef tallow, BTA_ beef tallow + L-arginine supplementation, OV olive oil, OVA : olive oil + L-arginine supplementation). Plasma glucose, total cholesterel, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride were measured. Endothelial markers, plasma von Willebrand factor(vWf), thromboxane B$_2$, and 6-keto PGF1$\alpha$ of aorta were measured by ELISA. Plasma NO production was evaluated through the measurement of nitrite by EIA. Feeding saturated fatty acid(SFA, BT) increased relative liver size(RLS) in diabetic rats compared to either polyunsatunted fatty acid(PUFA, SO) or monounsaturated fatty acid(MUFA, OV) The supplementation of L-arginine inhibited the liver and kidney enlargement in olive oil find diabetic rats. Plasma glucose was lower in diabetic animal find the olive oil compared to fed beef tallow and the supplementation L-arginine decreased it in diabetic rats find beef tallow significantly(p < 0.05). Plasma TXB$_2$ levels were increased due to diabetes and the value of beef tallow group showed highest value. Plasma vWf concentration of beef tallow group was higher value in normal rats and was elevated more in diabetes. In diabetic groups, the vWf concentration of olive oil group was lower than beef tallow or soybean oil group. The supplementation of L-arginine in diabetic rats decreased plasma TXB$_2$ and vWf levels significantly(p < 0.05). NO production was higher in normal olive oil fed rats and was tend to be decreased in diabetic rats and the supplementation of L-arginine recovered to normal value(p < 0.05), Olive oil supplemented with L-arginine tended to lower plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol after 4 week treatment. These results suggest that generalized vascular endothelial changes based on plasma TXB$_2$and vWf occurs in diabetic rats. and olive oil with L-arginine supplementation contributes to a better control of the hyperglycemia, endothelial changes and hypercholesterolemia accompanying diabetes as compared with beef tallow or soy bean oil in this rat model.

  • In this paper, we propose an effective method to block illegal gambling advertisement on social media. With the increase of smartphone and internet usage, users can easily access various information while sharing information such as text and video with a large number of others. In addition, illegal sports gambling advertisements are also continue to be transmitted on SNS. To avoid most surveillance networks, users are easily exposed to illegal sports gambling advertisement images by including phrases in the images that indicate illegal sports gambling advertisements. In order to cope with these problems, we proposed a method to actively block illegal sports gambling advertisements in a way different from the conventional passive methods. In this paper, we select words frequently used for illegal sports gambling, classifies them into three groups according to their importance, calculate WF for each word using weighted formula by degree of relevance and frequency, and then sum the WF of the words in the image. Blocking, warning, and passing were determined by cv, the total of WF. Experimenting with the proposed method, 193 out of 200 experimental images were correctly judged with 96.5% accuracy, and even though 7 images were illegal sports gambling advertisements. Further research is needed to block 3.5% of illegal sports betting ads that cannot be blocked in the future.
