Centella asiatica extract is widely used as a raw material for cosmetics due to its various effects, but it is difficult to expect penetration into the skin due to its high molecular weight and low solubility. In order to solve these problems, lipid-based liposomes of various types were developed to increase skin absorption. Therefore, in this study, we tried to increase the skin absorption rate by preparing transfersomes using surfactants as edge activators in existing liposomes. Liposome and transfersomes containing Span 80 and Tween 20, 60, 80, and 85, respectively, were prepared using a high-pressure homogenizer, and we evaluated the particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, and skin absorption rate. As a result, there was almost no change in the physical properties of particle size, polydispersity index and zeta potential from 25 ℃ to 60 d, and the particle size of transfersomes containing Tween 20, 60, and 80 increased after 60 d at 45 ℃. Madecassoside, main substances of the Centella asiatica extract was used as an standard and madecassoside was measured and calculated when measuring the skin absorption rate using Franz diffusion cells. As a result, formulations containing Tween 20 were the most, whereas formulations containing Span 80 were the least. According to the skin absorption coefficient (Kp) value, all formulations showed 'very fast', and the absorption rate was similar or greater than that of liposomes, except for formulations containing Span 80. Through this, it was confirmed that the larger the HLB value of the nonionic surfactant, the smaller the particle size of the transfersome, and the increased skin absorption rate due to the increased flexibility of the vesicle membrane. Through this study, transfersome using surfactant as an edge activator can be expected to solve local skin problems not only as a cosmetic raw material or product, but also by increasing skin absorption.

The purpose of this experimental study is to investigate the influence of shear span-to-depth ratio on the minimum shear reinforcement ratio of reinforced concrete beams. In this study, 7 reinforced concrete beam specimens were tested. The parameters of experiment are shear span-to-depth ratio(a/d=2.0, 3.0, 4.0) and shear reinforcement ratio($p_v$=0%, 0.183%, and 0.233%). The section of all secimens was 350mm width and 450mm depth. The observed results were compared with the calculated results by the current ACI 318-02 Building Code and the proposed equation. The safety rate of the specimens, L5S2A, L5S3A, L5S4A, and L5S4P specimens were 1.80, 1.25, 1.38, and 1.56 respectively. The test results indicated that the shear behavior of reinforced concrete beams with the minimum shear reinforcement was influenced by the shear span-to-depth ratio.

In this work, we compared the emulsion states having the same composition of liquid paraffin/ Span 80-Tween 80/ pure water and the different mixing paths and temperatures. Routes reaching the final composition in three component phase diagram were composed of three different ways. The average particle size of the emulsion prepared from the different mixing routes showed a significant difference and decreased as the mixing temperature was increased. However, the mixing route affected more in the size of the emulsions than mixing temperature.

Detergency and soil redeposition of wool fabric in 8 nonionic surfactants (Span 20, 40, 60, 80/Tween 20, 40, 60, 80) and 4 solvents (water, petroleum, perchloroethylene(PCE), decamethylcyclopentasiloxane($D_5$)) were studied. Detergency of wool fabric in water was very low with and without surfactants due to the low wetting and difficulty in penetration of water into the fabric. Lipophilic surfactants improved the detergency of wool fabric in petroleum solvent and PCE. The detergency of wool fabric in $D_5$ was similar to that in petroleum solvent without surfactants. When water was solubilized, Span 20 addition to petroleum solvent and PCE increased the detergency of wool fabric. The detergency for $D_5$ was improved with solubilized water, however, it was lowered when the surfactants were added to the system. Therefore, it is important to formulate appropriate detergents which have good solubility and affinity to silicone for $D_5$ charge system. Hydrophilic surfactants were effective for water and lipophilic surfactants were effective for petroleum solvent and PCE in soil redeposition prevention of wool fabric. The soil redeposition prevention effects are not found in $D_5$ with both Span 20 and Tween 20. The same tendency of results in soil redeposition of wool fabric is observed when water is solubilized.

Ductility is very important parameter in seismic design of RC members such as beams where it allows RC beams to dissipate the seismic energy. In this field, the curvature ductility has taken a large part of interest compared to the deflection ductility. For this reason, the present paper aims to propose a general formula for predicting the deflection ductility factor of RC beams under mid-span load. Firstly, the moment area theorem is used to develop a model in order to calculate the yield and the ultimate deflections; then this model is validated by using some results extracted from previous researches. Secondly, a general formula of deflection ductility factor is written based on the developed deflection expressions. The new formula is depended on curvature ductility factor, beam length, and plastic hinge length. To facilitate the use of this formula, a parametric study on the curvature ductility factor is conducted in order to write it in simple manner without the need for curvature calculations. Therefore, the deflection ductility factor can be directly calculated based on beam length, plastic hinge length, concrete strength, reinforcement ratios, and yield strength of steel reinforcement. Finally, the new formula of deflection ductility factor is compared with the model previously developed based on the moment area theorem. The results show the good performance of the new formula.

제 5세대의 안전화약이라고 부르는 에멀젼폭약은 고전적인 폭약의 개념을 불과 수년 사이에 크게 바꾸어 놓았다. 그러나 정밀화학공업이 상당한 수준에 이르고 있는 현시점에 가장 핵심적인 기술에 속하는 에멀젼폭약의 계면활성저에 대한 국내 연구 발표사례는 전무한 실정이다. 에멀젼폭약의 기본 이론인 왁스 성분과 수분과의 상관관계에 결정적인 역할을 하는 계면활성제에 대한 꾸준한 연구결과 HLB 3~9 범위 중 4.3에 속하는 Span80 이라는 S.A.A가 가장 양호한 결과를 나타내었다. 아울러 기존 생산시스템의 작업온도 $90^\circ{C}$보다 훨씬 낮은 $60^\circ{C}$전후에서도 생산이 가능하다는 실험적 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.

A process for the preparation of cobalt oxide powders was developed by the evaporaton of emulsion containing cobalt. The characteristics of powders were examined by means of DTA, X-ray diffracton, SEM, PSA. Cobalt oxide powders were produced by evaporating the emulsion prepared by mixing cobalt sulfate solution and organic phase consisted of kerosene, Span 80 and D2EHPA in the kerosene bath at 16$0^{\circ}C$, then the precursor obtained was calcined at 100$0^{\circ}C$. As the concentration of cobalt ions in the aqueous solution, Span 80 and the stirring speed increased, the mean size of cobalt oxide powders decreased and the size distribution was improved. At the volume ratio of one of the aqueous to organic phase, the finest mean size and the optimum size distribution was obtained. On the other hand the concentration of D2EHPA and liquid paraffin had little effect on the mean size as well as on the size distribution of powders.
