The aim of the current work is to describe the flexural behaviour of simply supported concrete beams with tension reinforcement spliced at mid-span. The parameters included in the study were the type of the concrete, the splice length and the configuration of the hooked splice. Fifteen beams were cast using an ordinary concrete mix and two fiber reinforced concrete mixes incorporating steel and polypropylene fibers. Each concrete mix was used to cast five beams with continuous, spliced and hooked spliced tension steel bars. A test beam was reinforced on the tension side with two 12 mm bars and the splice length was 20 and 40 times the bar diameter. The hooked bars were spliced along 20 times the bar diameter and provided with 45-degree and 90-degree hooks. The test results in terms of cracking and ultimate loads, cracking patterns, ductility, and failure modes are reported. The results demonstrated the consequences due to short splices and the improvement in the structural behaviour due to the use of hooks and the confinement provided by the steel and polypropylene fibers.

This paper presents the comparison between SFT response with linear and nonlinear cables. The dynamic response analysis of submerged floating tunnel (SFT) is presented computationally with linear and nonlinear tension legs cables. The analysis is performed computationally for two wave directions one at 90 degrees (perpendicular) to tunnel and other at 45 degrees to the tunnel. The tension legs or cables are assumed as linear and non- linear and the analysis is also performed by assuming one tension leg or cable is failed. The Response Amplitude Operators (RAO's) are computed for first order waves, second order waves for both failure and non-failure case of cables. For first order waves- the SFT response is higher for sway and heave degree of freedom with nonlinear cables as compared with linear cables. For second order waves the SFT response in sway degree of freedom is bit higher response with linear cables as compared with nonlinear cables and the SFT in heave degree of freedom has higher response at low time periods with nonlinear cables as compared with linear cables. For irregular waves the power spectral densities (PSD's) has been computed for sway and heave degrees of freedom, at $45^0$ wave direction PSD's are higher with linear cables as compared with nonlinear cables and at $90^0$ wave direction the PSD's are higher with non-linear cables. The mooring force responses are also computed in y and z directions for linear and nonlinear cables.

The research program is directed at studying the behavior and the strength of reinforced concrete slabs subjected to certain combination of punching shear and in-plane tension. Major variables to be investigated are the shear span to depth ratio of reinforced concrete slabs and the degree of the in-plane tensile force which is acting tangent to the slabs. The experimental results are used for understanding of the degree of the interaction between the two loadings, and for developing a new practical design equation.

Rollers in the continuous process systems are ones of key components that determine the quality of web products. The condition of rollers (e.g. eccentricity, runout) should be consistently monitored in order to maintain the process conditions (e.g. tension, edge position) within a required specification. In this paper, a new diagnosis algorithm is suggested to detect the defective rollers based on the frequency analysis of web tension signals. The kernel of this technique is to use the characteristic features (RMS, Peak value, Power spectral density) of tension signals which allow the identification of the faulty rollers and the diagnosis of the degree of fault in the rollers. The characteristic features could be used to train an artificial neural network which could classify roller conditions into three groups (normal, warning, and faulty conditions) The simulation and experimental results showed that the suggested diagnosis algorithm can be successfully used to identify the defective rollers as well as to diagnose the degree of the defect of those rollers.

Rollers and rolls in the continuous process systems are noes of key components that determine the quality of web products. The condition of rollers and rolls(ex. eccentricity wear) should be consistently monitored in order to maintain the process conditions (ex. tension, edge position) within a required specification. In this paper, a new diagnosis technique is suggested to detect the defect of rollers/rolls (ex. eccentricity, wear) based on frequency domain analysis of web tension signal. The kernel of this technique is to use the spectrum amplitude of tension signal which allows to identify the fault rollers/rolls and to also diagnose the degree of fault in corresponding rollers and rolls. The experimental results proved that the suggested diagnosis technique can be successfully used to identify the defect rollers and rolls as well as to diagnose the degree of the defect of those rollers. The suggested technique can be applied to monitor and diagnose the shape of rollers and rolls in various multi-span web transport systems.

This study was investigated under the postulation that activation of intracellular calcium- calmodulin complex during ischemia-reperfusion leads to myocardial injury. The protective effects of calcium channel blocker, diltiazem and calmodulin inhibitors, trifluoperazine, flunarizine and calmidazolium from ischemic injury in rat hearts were observed by using Langendorff apparatus when the antagonists were infused for 3 min in the beginning of ischemia. Thereby, an increase in resting tension developed during 30-min ischemia was analyzed with regard to [1] the degree of cardiac functional recovery following 60-min reperfusion, [2] changes in biochemical variables evoked during 30-min ischemia. The results obtained were as follows: l. In the ischemic group, the resting tension was increased by 4.1*0.2 g at 30-min ischemia. However, the increase in resting tension was markedly reduced not only by pretreatment with diltiazem [3.3 p M] but also with calmodulin inhibitors, trifluoperazine [3.3 p M], flunarizine [0.5 p M] and calmidazolium [0.5 p M], respectively. 2. Recovery of myocardial contractility, +dF /dt and coronary flow were much reduced when evoked by reperfusion in the ischemic group. These variables were significantly improved either by pretreatment with diltiazem or with calmodulin inhibitors. 3. The resting tension increment evoked during ischemia was significantly inversely correlated with the degree of cardiac function recovered during reperfusion. 4. Following 30-min ischemia, the production of malondialdehyde and release of lysosomal enzyme were much increased in association with a decrease in creatine kinase activity. 5. The increases in malondialdehyde production and release of free lysosomal enzyme were suppressed by pretreatment with calmodulin inhibitors as well as diltiazem. Likewise, the decrease of creatine kinase activities was prevented by these calcium antagonists. With these results, it is indicated that a increase in resting tension observed during ischemia has an inverse relationship to the cardiac function recovered following reperfusion, and further, the later may be significantly dependent on the degree of biochemical alterations occurred during ischemia such as decrease in creatine kinase activity, increased production of malondialdehyde and increased release of free lysosomal enzyme. Thus it is concluded that calmodulin plays a pivotal role in the process of ischemic injury.

본 연구는 정신신체장애, 불안장애 및 우울장애 환자들 간에 alexithymia의 정도를 비교하기 위해서 실시되었다. 연구대상은 정신과 외래에 내원 하였거나 타과에서 정신과에 자문의뢰된 정신신체장애 환자 100명(긴장성 두통환자 47명 포함), 불안장애환자 52명, 우울장애환자 50명으로 하였다. 조사방법은 반체계적 면담용 평가도구인 Alexithymia provoked Response Questionnaire(APRQ)를 사용하였다. 정신신체장애환자들은 불안장애 및 우울장애환자들보다 alexithymia의 정도가 더 낮았으나 세 군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 반면 긴장성 두통환자들은 불안장애 및 우울장애환자들에 비해 alexithymia의 정도가 각각 유의하게 더 높았다. 우울장애환자들이 불안장애환자들보다 aluithymia의 정도가 더 높았으나 양군간에 유의한 차이는 없었다. 성별, 연령, 교육수준, 종교 및 직업유무와 같은 인구학적 특징들은 조사대상 모든 군에서 alexithymia와 유의한 관계가 없었다. 이 결과들은 일반적으로 정신신체장애환자들이 alexithymia를 보인다는 기존 보고와 다르게 정신신체장애 중 긴장성 두통과 같은 특정 정신신체장애환자들에서 alexithymia가 현저함을 시사한다. 따라서 긴장성 두통환자들에서의 치료전략으로 감정표현을 유도하는 특수한 형태의 면담방법이 개발될 필요가 있다.

It is well known that mammalian alveolar membrane is covered with a very thin layer of surfactant film which characteristically reduces surface tension of alveolar membrane, and maintains alveolar stability. Since Clements in 1957 demonstrated that the surfactant is extractable by mincing the lung tissue in saline, various studies on the subject have been succeeded by many workers. However, the effect of radiation on the surfactant is not well clarified. Present study was attempted to observe the effect of x-irradiation on the activity of surfactant in rabbits. X-ray in dose of 300 r, 600 r or 900 r was irradiated to the chest of rabbits. The lung was removed from normal or irradiated rabbits sacrificed by arterial blood shedding, and lung-saline extract, adding 3 grams of lung tissue to 50 mili-liters of saline, was prepared by means of Vertis homogenizer. Tension-area diagram of lung extract was recorded automatically by a modified Langmuir-Wilhelmy balance with a synchronized recording system designed in this department. The surface tension of lung extract was measured at 1st, 2 nd, 3 rd, 7 th and 15 th post-radiation day in 300 r irradiated group, at 3 rd, 7 th and 15 th post-radiation day in 600 r irradiated group, 3 rd and 7 th post-radiation day in 900 r irradiated group respectively. For the histo-pathological study, lung tissue preparations were made in all irradiatiated groups on the day of experiment and in normal group. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The minimal surface tension, maximal surface tension and stability index of normal rabbits lung extracts were 7.68 dynes/cm, 38.84 dynes/cm, and 1.39 respectively. 2. The activity of surfactant was depressed prominently by x-irradiation. However, increase in the dose of x-irradiation did not show any significant change in the degree of surfactant activity suppression. The most marked depression in surfactant was observed at the third post-radiation day in all irradiated groups. 3. Activity of surfactant depressed by x-irradiation showed a tendency of recovering to normal on 15 th post-radiation day. 4. The tendency of change in activity of surfactant following x-irradiation was somewhat correlative with histo-pathological changes. But the degree of depression of surfactant by x-irradiation did not correspond to the degree of histo-pathological changes, and recovery of lung tissue from radiation damage, tissue edema and congestion, seemed to be followed by restoration of surfactant activity. 5. The width of the tension-area diagram was measured at the surface area of 40% in lung extract of normal and x-irradiated rabbits. And it was found that the changes of the width corresponded well with that of minimum surface tension and of stability index in all normal and x-irradiated groups.
