The purposes of this thesis are to grasp the aspect of injuries by violence which is the recent social issue, analyze the relationship with socioeconomic factors and provide it as the basic material of policy development and prevention. With the specimen in-depth investigation materials of injured patients of emergency room which is injuries examination system based on medical institution, this thesis compared injuries by violence with aspect of other injuries and conducted logistic regression analysis after controlling gender, age, educational level and occupation mutually. Women showed more danger to be exposed to injuries by violence than men. The less the age was, the more danger by violence was. The more academic background was, the less rate to be exposed to violence was. For occupations, there were dangerous in order of service workers, shop and market sales workers, unemployed, elementary occupations. In conclusion, Some differences of socioeconomic factors made an effect on the danger of injuries by violence victim.

A single specimen of Strophidon sathete (1,302 mm in total length), belonging to the family Muraenidae, was collected in a danish seine off the southern coast of Jejudo Island in April, 2019 for the first time. It was characterized by having unpatterned coloration and thin body, snout slightly rounded, three superorbital pores, four infraobital pores, and six mandibular pores. This species is distinguishable from morphologically similar Gymnothorax albimarginatus inhabiting Korean waters by having all fins dark (vs. fins dark posteriorly with white margin for latter), body depth 1.8~3.1% in total length (vs. 3.2~5.7%), and no dark band on head in less than 50~70 cm (vs. exist). We add Strophidon sathete to the Korean fish fauna and propose a new Korean name, "Ga-neun-gom-chi" for the species because the body is relatively thinner than other similar moray species (G. albimarginatus) in Korea.

In the present work, we investigated the effects of the carbon potential on the formation of carbide at the carburized surface and anti-pitting fatigue strength in the supercarburized steels. Two low carbon steels with different Cr concentrations were adopted and the repeated supercarburizing treatment carried out with the different carbon potential conditions. The microstructure and carbides at the supercarburized surface were observed by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. The microhardness test was performed and the hardness distribution and the effective case depth at the supercarburized surface were discussed. The roller pitting fatigue test was carried out and the fatigue strength was evaluated with different the carbon potential conditions. The microstructure of the fatigue specimen surface was observed by means of scanning electron microscope and scanning transmission electron microscope. Depending on the chemical composition of the steels and the carbon potential condition, the resistance of temper softening and pitting failure was influenced due to the carbide distribution and the formation of coarse network carbide. Thus, it was confirmed that the control of the carbide formation is a key factor to improve the anti-pitting fatigue strength in the supercarburized steels.

The use of recycled aggregate in concrete is gaining much attention due to the growing need for sustainability in construction. In the present study, Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is made using both natural and recycled aggregate (crushed recycled concrete aggregate from building demolished waste) and performance of recycled aggregate based SCC for the bond behaviour of reinforcement is evaluated. The major factors that influence the bond like concrete compressive strength (Mix-A, B and C), diameter of bar ($D_b=10$, 12 and 16 mm) and embedment length of bar ($L_d=2.5Db$, $5D_b$ and full depth of specimen) are the parameters considered in the present study in addition to type of aggregates (natural and recycled aggregates). The mix proportions of Natural Aggregate SCC (NASCC) are arrived based on the specifications of IS 10262. The mix proportions also satisfy the guidelines of EFNARC. In case of Recycled Aggregate SCC (RASCC), both the natural coarse and fine aggregates are replaced 100% by volume with that of recycled aggregates. These mixes are also evaluated for fresh properties as per EFNARC. The hardened properties like compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength are also determined. The pull-out test is conducted as per the specifications of IS 2770 (Part-1) for determining the bond strength of reinforcement. Bond stress versus slip curves were plotted and a typical comparison of RASCC is made with NASCC. The fracture energy i.e., area under the bond stress slip curve is determined. With the use of recycled aggregates, reduction in maximum bond stress is noticed whereas, the normalised maximum bond stress is higher in case of recycled aggregates. Based on the experimental results, regression analysis is conducted and an equation is proposed to predict the maximum bond stress of RASCC. The equation is in good agreement with the experimental results. The available models in the literature are made use to predict the maximum bond stress and compare the present results.

Although bladder cancers are very common, little is known about their molecular pathogenesis. It is known that p53 alteration is found in about 60% of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, necessiating aggressive therapy and poor outcome. We examined the nuclear expression of p53 protein, using D07 monoclonal antibody in the urine samples from 31 patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder to investigate the correlation of p53 overexpression with histologic grades and depth of invasion. The positive rate of p53 protein was 27% in superficial bladder tumor, but increased up to 71% in the invasive bladder carcinomas. The overexpression of p53 protein increased according to Mostofi grading system from 18% in grade I, 45% in grade II, and up to 100% in grade III. The p53 expression tended to be higher in the invasive and high grade bladder cancers than in the superficial and low grade ones(p<0.05). These results suggest that immunohistochemical analysis of the urine specimen in the bladder cancer patients could be a useful method of screening for the presence of p53 mutant protein. The mutant p53 protein expression may be an indicator of bladder cancer with more proliferative potential and/or aggressive biologic behavior.

The aim of this study was to compare wear resistance of resin denture teeth opposing various restorative materials. The wear resistance of conventional acrylic resin teeth(Trubyte Biotone) and three high-strength resin teeth(Bioform IPN, Endura, SR-Orthosit-PE) opposing different restorative materials(gold alloys, dental porcelain, composite resin) was compared. Wear tests were conducted with a sliding-induced wear testing apparatus which applied 100,000 strokes to the specimen in a mesio-distal direction under conditions of 100 stroke/min and constant loading of 1Kgf/tooth. Wear resistance of the resin denture teeth was evaluated by the following criteria : 1) wear depth, 2) weight loss, and 3) SEM observation. Results were as follows. 1. When opposed to gold alloys and composite resin, high-strength resin teeth showed superior wear resistance compared to acrylic resin teeth. But, in cases opposing dental porcelain, differences between the wear of the high-strength and acrylic resin teeth were not statistically significant (p<0.05). 2. When comparing wear resistance among high-strength resin teeth, opposing gold alloys, Endura was slightly more resistant and while in cases opposing dental porcelain, SR-Orthosit-PE was showed to be slightly resistant(p<0.05). 3. The wear of high-strength resin teeth was greater by 5 to 7 times when opposing porcelain and 2 to 3 times when opposing composite resin compared to gold alloys(p<0.05). 4. SEM observations of the wear surface showed that wear of resin teeth opposing gold alloys is a fatigue type of wear and wear of resin teeth opposing dental porcelain is fatigue and abrasion type of wear. Trubyte Biotone showed more severe fatigue type of wear than high-strength resin teeth. In conclusion, the use of dental porcelain should seriously be considered as restorative material in cases opposing resin denture teeth and improvement seems to be needed on resin teeth in the areas of wear resistance.

The purpose of this study is to investigate shear strengthening effects and behaviour of RC beams strengthened in shear by Carbon Fiber Mesh(CFM) and mortar for fixing CFM to concrete. Test parameters in experiment are shear span-to-depth ratio, layout of CFM and number of clip. From the test, it was shown that the governing failure patten was the bond failure between cover mortar and RC beam initiated at about 60% of maximum strength. And the strength of CFM was developed up to 19.6% of it's maximum tensile strength when the specimen reached to failure. The most effective enhancement using CFM and mortar were to attach CFM diagonally to concrete in a/d of 1.0 and increase the number of cilps in a/d of 1.5, respectively.

Background The depth of graft harvest and the residual dermis available for reepithelization primarily influence the healing of split-skin graft donor sites. When the thigh region is chosen, the authors hypothesize based on thickness measurements that the anterolateral region is the optimal donor site. Methods Full-thickness skin specimens were sampled from the anteromedial, anterior, and anterolateral regions of human cadavers. Skin specimens were cut perpendicularly with a custom-made precision apparatus to avoid the overestimation of thickness measurements. The combined epidermal and dermal thicknesses (overall skin thickness) were measured using a digital calliper. The specimens were histologically stained to visualize their basement membrane, and microscopy images were captured. Since the epidermal thickness varies across the specimen, a stereological method was used to eliminate observer bias. Results Epidermal thickness represented 2.5% to 9.9% of the overall skin thickness. There was a significant difference in epidermal thickness from one region to another (P<0.05). The anterolateral thigh region had the most consistent and highest mean epidermal thickness ($60{\pm}3.2{\mu}m$). We observed that overall skin thickness increased laterally from the anteromedial region to the anterior and anterolateral regions of the thigh. The overall skin thickness measured $1,032{\pm}435{\mu}m$ in the anteromedial region compared to $1,220{\pm}257{\mu}m$ in the anterolateral region. Conclusions Based on skin thickness measurements, the anterolateral thigh had the thickest epidermal and dermal layers. We suggest that the anterolateral thigh region is the optimal donor site for split-skin graft harvests from the thigh.

Recent test results on reduced beam section (RBS) steel moment connections show that specimens with a bolted web connection tend to perform poorly due to premature brittle fracture of the beam flange at the weld access hole. A review of previous test results indicates that the higher incidence of base metal fracture in bolted-web specimens is related, at least in part, to the web bolt slippage and the high stress concentration at the weld access hole with the lowest material toughness. The practice of providing web bolts uniformly along the beam depth based on the classical beam theory is questioned in this paper. A new seismic design procedure, which is more consistent with the actual load path identified from the analytical and experimental studies, is proposed together with improved connection details. A test specimen designed following the proposed procedure exhibited a cyclic connection rotation capacity sufficient for special moment frames without fracture.
