백판지는 포장용기로 사용되기 때문에 인쇄적성 이외에 다양한 후가공적성이 요구 된다. V Varnish Coating도 이러한 후가공적성 중의 하나로서 국내 인쇄소에서는 기계 코팅으로 불리 우며, 목적은 표면에 고분자수지 피막을 입힘으로써 인쇄물의 광택을 높여서 상품가치를 높이고 수운침투와 같은 외부환경의 변화로부터 상품을 안전하게 보관하기 위함이다. arnish C Coating은 인쇄기의 마지막 Unit에서 인쇄와 동일한 방식으로 진행되는데, 코팅액의 배합은 인쇄소와 인쇄물에 따라 상이하다. 본 연구는 Varnish Coating(OI하 기계코팅) 광택향상을 통 한 품질개선 목적으로 수행되었다. 기계 코팅의 특 성 을 파 악 하 기 위 해 서 Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectrometer와 FT -IR Sp e ectrometer를 사용하여 성문운석을 실시해본 결과 코팅액으로 사용되는 광택바니스는 아크 랄과 페놀수지를 툴루엔 계열의 용매에 녹인 용액이고, 흐$\mid$석제로 쓰이는 인쇄바니스는 스티 렌수지를 동일한 용매에 녹인 용액으로 조사되었다. 기계코팅광택 저하현상의 원인파악을 위해서 도공층의 공극구조를 Mercury Porosimeter를 이용하여 파악한 결과 기공의 부피가 상 대적으로 크게 나타났다. 위의 결과를 토대로 기계코팅광택 저하는 코팅액이 과도한 기공부피를 갖는 도공층 내부 로 대부분 홉수되고 표면에 적은 양만이 잔류하기 때문으로 판단하고 해결방안은 도공층의 기공부피를 줄이는 쪽으로 정하였다. Mayor Coater와 QC를 이용하여 Coating Color Formula t tion 번경실힘을 진행하여 도공지 물성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 Double Coating의 Top Color에 서 강력한 상호작용을 하는 Protein과 콜레이를 감량 하고 경질탄산칼숨을 배제하여 기공의 부피를 줄인 경우 기계코팅광택 향상효과가 두드러지게 나타났다. 이러한 Lab 실험을 바탕으로 결정된 Color Formulation에 대한 현장실험을 진행하였고 Lab 평가 및 실인쇄 평가 결과 원하는 수준의 기계코팅광택 향상을 얻을 수 있었다. 몇 차례의 현장실험과 Long-Run Test한 제품들에 대한 물성을 문석한 결과 기계코팅굉택은 인쇄 광택과 같은 경향을 나타냈으며 실협실적으로 간단하게 측정되는 물성 중에서 Air Permeability와 강한 음의 상관관계롤 보였다.

In this study, the tunnel loads acting on the concrete lining are analyzed by comparing three methods - Terzaghi table, Terzaghi formula and Ground-Lining Interaction (G.L.I) model. The tunnel loads are analyzed by FLAC 2D. And the G.L.I model is analyzed under various rock mass ratings, tunnel depths (20~80m) and in-situ stress ratios ($K_0$=0.5~2.0). Terzaghi's method can be applied only to weathered rocks and soils, and cannot reflect the effect of various tunnel depths and in-situ stress ratio. The proposed G.L.I model can not only be applied to various ground conditions, but also relieves the tunnel loads by up to 30%.

Background: Gamma-ray spectrometry helps in radiation shielding problems and different applications of radioisotopes. Experimental arrangements including broad beam geometries are widely used. The aim is to investigate and evaluate the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra via attenuation by environmental materials. Materials and Methods: The photo peak to nominated parts in the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra and the attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$ from broad beam geometries are measured for the materials water, soil, sand and cement at the energies 0.662, 1.25, and 1.332 MeV with a $3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}{\times}3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}$ NaI(Tl) detector. Results and Discussion: The ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra vary according to changes in the effective atomic number $Z_{eff}$ of the attenuator, the photon energy and the solid angle. The peak to total ratios are the most sensitive parts to variations in the experimental conditions and overturn in the region 0.663 MeV to 1.332 MeV. This is indicated as inversion trend. The results are discussed in view of $Z_{eff}$ and the experimental conditions. The intensity build-up is larger at the lower energy and larger scattering angles in agreement with Klein-Nishina formula and other results. The build-up factor B is$${\sim_=}$$1 at high ${\gamma}-energies$ and small scattering angles. Conclusion: The sensitivity to material characteristics decrease gradually from peak: to total, to Compton valley, to Compton plateau ratios. Rigorous collimation is necessary at small energies. Cement, of the largest $Z_{eff}$, is characterized by the maximum broad beam mass attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$. The obtained results provide information to decide for the suitable experimental set-up based on aim of the work.

The cycle of heat engine which produces the maximum power output is constructed when heat sources are finitely constant, and the maximum power as a thermodynamic limit of the engine, is obtained. The characteristics of the maximum power cycle are as follows, which represent the operation conditions and design conditions of the heat engine to produce the maximum power output. In heat exchangers, the temperature profiles of the heat source and the working fluid have the same functional formula and the ratio of the working fluid temperature to the heat source temperature is constant. When heat capacity flow rates(product of the specific heat and the mass flow rate) of the working fluid as well as the heat source are constant, the values of those of working fluid exist between those of two heat sources. The relation of the temperature and the heat capacity flow rate is established without the states of the heat sources and the capacities of heat exchangers, which is ( $T_{h}$/ $T_{H}$)( $C_{h}$/ $C_{H}$)=( $T_{1}$/ $T_{L}$)( $c_{1}$/ $c_{L}$)=1. The capacity of the heat exchanger of hot side is equal to that of cold side regardless of the states of the heat sources and the total capacities of heat exchangers.hangers.ers.

This paper deals with precise analytical state equation modeling of a variable speed refrigeration system (VSRS) for optimum control in state space. The VSRS is described as multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system, which has two controlled variables and two control inputs. First, the Navier-Stokes equation and mass flow rate were applied to each component of the basic refrigeration cycle to build a dynamic model. The dynamic model, represented by a differential equation, was transformed into the state equation formula. Next, a full-order state observer was built to estimate all of the state variables to compose an optimum control system. Then, an optimum controller was designed to minimize an evaluation function that has input energy and control error. Finally, simulations and experiments were conducted to verify the validity of the proposed modeling and designed optimum controller to regulate target temperature and superheat in a 1RT oil cooler system. The results show that the proposed method, state equation modeling and optimum control, is efficient to ensure optimal control performance of the VSRS.

Two-dimensional turbulent plane jet which is under the pressure gradient in the transverse direction is studied numerically. Full Navier-Stokes equations are used to correctly account for the pressure variation in the transverse direction. Using the standard k-.epsilon. turbulence model as a closure relationship, a time marching procedure gives the velocity field. The temperature fields are obtained for two different cases : (1) Hot jet is issued into the cold still air, and (2) Hot jet is issued into the surrounding across which exists a temperature difference. The velocity and temperature fields along with other flow and heat-transfer characteristics for two different pressure gradients are presented. A simple formula that relates the jet trajectory to the pressure gradient is also proposed. The mass flux in the longitudinal direction and the jet halfwidth seem insensitive to the pressure gradient. However, the pressure gradient increases the heat flux in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction.

Background: Renal size is an important indicator in the diagnosis of renal diseases and urinary tract infections in children. Purpose: The purpose of this study is twofold. First, it aimed to measure the renal length and calculate the renal volume of normal Thai children using 2-dimensional ultrasonography (2D-US) and study their correlations with somatic parameters. Second, it aimed to compare the age-specific renal size of normal Thai children with the published data of their Western and Chinese counterparts. Methods: A total of 321 children (150 boys, 171 girls; age, 6-15 years) with a normal renal profile were prospectively recruited. All subjects underwent 2D-US by an experienced pediatric radiologist and the renal length, width, and depth were measured. Renal volume was calculated using the ellipsoid formula as recommended. The data were compared between the left and right kidneys, the sexes, and various somatic parameters. The age-specific renal lengths were compared using a nomogram derived from a Western cohort that is currently referred by many Thailand hospitals, while the renal volumes were compared with the published data of a Chinese cohort. Results: No statistically significant difference (P<0.05) was found between sexes or the right and left kidneys. The renal sizes had strong correlations with height, weight, body surface area, and age but not with body mass index. The renal length of the Thai children was moderately correlated (r=0.59) with that of the Western cohort, while the age-specific renal volume was significantly smaller (P<0.05) than that of the Chinese children. Conclusion: Therefore, we concluded that the age-specific renal length and volume obtained by 2D-US would vary between children in different regions and may not be suitably used as an international standard for diagnosis, although further studies may be needed to confirm our findings.

In this paper, a method for analyzing the damping performance of stay cables incorporating magnetorheological (MR) dampers in the passive control mode is developed taking into account the cable sag and inclination, the damper coefficient, stiffness and mass, and the stiffness of damper support. Both numerical and asymptotic solutions are obtained from complex modal analysis. With the asymptotic solution, analytical formulas that evaluate the equivalent damping ratio of the sagged cable-damper system in consideration of all the above parameters are derived. The main thrust of the present study is to develop an general design formula and a universal curve for the optimal design of MR dampers for adjustable passive control of sagged cables. Two sag-affecting coefficients are derived to reflect the effects of cable sag on the maximum attainable damping ratio and the optimal damper coefficient. For the cable configurations commonly used in cable-stayed bridges, the sag-affecting coefficients are directly expressed in terms of the sag-extensibility parameter to facilitate the control design. A case study on adjustable passive vibration control of the longest cable (536 m) on Stonecutters Bridge is carried out to demonstrate the influence of the sag for the damper design, and to figure out the necessity of adjustability of damper coefficients for achieving maximum damping ratio for different vibration modes.

Cronobacter sakazakii is an opportunistic pathogenic bacterium found in powdered infant formula and is fatal to neonates. Antibiotic resistance has emerged owing to overuse of antibiotics. Therefore, demand for high-yield bacteriophages as an alternative to antibiotics has increased. Accordingly, we developed a modified mass-production method for bacteriophages by introducing a two-stage self-cycling (TSSC) process, which yielded high-concentration bacteriophage solutions by replenishing the nutritional medium at the beginning of each process, without additional challenge. pH of the culture medium was monitored in real-time during C. sakazakii growth and bacteriophage CS01 propagation, and the changes in various parameters were assessed. The pH of the culture medium dropped to 5.8 when the host bacteria reached the early log phase (OD₅₄₀ = 0.3). After challenge, it decreased to 4.65 and then recovered to 4.94; therefore, we set the optimum pH to challenge the phage at 5.8 and that to harvest the phage at 4.94. We then compared phage production during the TSSC process in jar-type bioreactors and the batch culture process in shaker flasks. In the same volume of LB medium, the concentration of the phage titer solution obtained with the TSSC process was 24 times higher than that obtained with the batch culture process. Moreover, we stably obtained high concentrations of bacteriophage solutions for three cycles with the TSSC process. Overall, this modified TSSC process could simplify large-scale production of bacteriophage CS01 and reduce the unit cost of phage titer solution. These results could contribute to curing infants infected with antibiotic-resistant C. sakazakii.

When rock burst occurs, the damaged coal, rock and other fragments can be ejected to the roadway at a speed of up to 10 m/s. It is extremely harmful to personnel and mining equipment, and seriously affects the mining activities. In order to study the energy evolution characteristics, especially kinetic energy, in the process of rock mass failure, this paper first analyzes the energy changes of the rock in different stages under uniaxial compression. The formula of the kinetic energy of rock sample considering the energy from the indenter of the testing machine is obtained. Then, the uniaxial compression tests with different stiffness ratios of the indenter and rock sample are simulated by numerical simulation. The kinetic energy U_d, elastic strain energy U_e, friction energy U_f, total input energy U and surface energy U_θ of crack cracking are analyzed. The results show that: The stiffness ratio has influence on the peak strength, peak strain, U_d, U_e, U_θ, U_f and U of rock samples. The variation trends of strength, strain and energy with stiffness are different. And when the stiffness ratio increases to a certain value, if the stiffness of the indenter continues to increase, it will have no longer effect on the rock sample.
