Decay processes of accumulated charge in e-beam irradiated polymers during elevating temperature are observed using pulsed electro-acoustic measurement system. Since the polymeric materials have many superior properties such as light-weight, good mechanical strength, high flexibility and low cost, they are inevitable materials for spacecrafts. In space environment, however, the polymers sometimes have serious damage by irradiation of high energy charged particles. When the polymers of the spacecraft are irradiated by high energy charged particles, some of injected charges accumulate and remain for long time in the bulk of the polymers. Since the bulk charges sometimes cause the degradation or breakdown of the materials, the investigation of the charging and the decay processes in polymeric materials under change of temperature is important to decide an adequate material for the spacecrafts. By measuring the charge behavior in e-beam irradiated polymer, such as polyimide or polystyrene, it is found that the various accumulation and decay patterns are observed in each material. The results seem to be useful and be helpful to progress in the reliability of the polymers for the spacecraft.

In this research, the degradation rate of physical properties of the Angouran pit bedrock (calc-schist) is first investigated under the specific numbers of freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles. Then, the durability of calc-schist specimens against the F-T cycle number (N) is examined considering the mechanical parameters, and using the decay function and half-time techniques. For this purpose, point load strength (I_S(50)), second durability index (I_d2), Brazilian tensile strength (BTS), and compressive (V_P) and shear (V_S) wave velocities of calc-schist specimens are measured after 0, 7, 15, 40, and 75 N. For comparing the degradation rate of mechanical properties of available rock types on the Angouran mine walls, these tests are also carried out on the limestone and amphibolite schist specimens beside the calc-schist. According to test results, the exponential regression models are developed between the mechanical parameters of rock specimen's and N variable. Also, the long-term durability of each rock type versus N is studied using the decay function and half-time techniques. Results indicated that the degradation rate differs for the above rock types in which amphibolite schist and calc-schist specimens have the highest and least resistance against the N, respectively. The obtained results from this study can play a key role in the optimal design of the mine's final walls.

라디에타소나무 단판적층재(LVL)를 제조함에 있어서, CuAz 및 ACQ 방부처리와 비처리, 수성비닐우레탄 접착제와 페놀변성 리조시놀수지 접착제의 상온경화형 접착제를 적용함에 따른 밀도경사, 접착 강도성능 및 내부후성(방부효력)을 살펴보았다. 결과, LVL의 밀도경사에서 접착층 주변이 원추형으로 밀도가 커지는 경사패턴을 보였다. 접착성은 수성비닐우레탄 접착의 경우, 자비반복시험 후 전층이 박리되거나, 일부 층이 박리하고 할렬 틈새 현상이 일어났다. 페놀변성 리조시놀수지 접착제 접착의 경우, 자비반복시험 후 접착층의 응력이 큰데 연유한 굽음과 상하 접착층 사이의 단판의 수직할렬 현상이 있었으나, 접착층의 박리나 할렬이 거의 발견되지 않아 침지박리접착력은 높은 것으로 판단되었다. 한편, 방부효력시험에 있어서, 수성비닐우레탄 접착제로 적층한 LVL의 경우 갈색부후균에 의한 부후도가 백색부후균보다 크게 나타났다. 페놀변성 리조시놀수지 접착제로 LVL을 제조한 경우에는 갈색부후균에 의한 질량감소가 적었고, 약제를 처리하지 않더라도 그 피해가 낮았으며, 약제처리한 것은 질량감소율 0 수준을 보일 정도로 방부효력이 큰 것을 알 수 있었다.

The feasibility of using stress-wave technique in the transverse direction for the assessment of early stages of decay was investigated using compression test specimens having different annual ring orientations subjected to decay by Tyromyces palustris for various time intervals. Decay detection, quantitative assessment of decay, and the prediction of residual strength of decayed wood with less than five percent weight loss can be feasible using stress-wave parameters (wave velocity, wave impedance, and stress-wave elasticity) and their percent reduction due to decay, measured by stress-wave technique in the transverse direction. The use of stress-wave technique in the transverse direction for the application of this technique to structural members in service is desirable, when considering the easiness of attachment of accelerometers of stress-wave measuring device on the surface of members and also accurate detection of localized decayed areas. In stress-wave technique in the transverse direction, stress-wave parameters measured were different according to the angles between wave propagation path and annual ring, due to the anisotropy of wood structure. Therefore, it is recommended to use percent reduction in stress-wave parameters instead of stress-wave parameters. This evaluation method using percent reduction in stress-wave parameters is ideal when it is impossible to observe annual ring orientation on the transverse surface of wood.

We fabricated two HTS closed coils by using resistive-joint method and the joint resistance of the coil was estimated by field decay technique at 77 K. In addition, we used the Runge-kutta method for the numerical analysis to estimate the decay properties. The joint resistances were evaluated as a function of critical current of HTS closed coil and external field strength of excitation coil. It was observed that joint resistance was independent of critical current and external field strength. It was estimated that joint resistance was 8.0$\times$10$^{-9}$ $\Omega$ to 11.9$\times$10$^{-9}$ $\Omega$ for coils of contact length for 7 cm.

본 실험은 건조되지 않은 목재를 고온의 아마인유에 침지처리함으로써 목재건조와 동시에 발수효과를 얻고자 실시하였다.함수율 90% 이상의 소나무생재를 온도 150℃의 아마인유에서 6시간 침지처리하였을 때 목재함수율은 10%까지 떨어졌으며, 목재 축방향의 깊이에 관계없이 목재단면의 20%에 해당하는 아마인유가 침투하였다. 이때 목재의 강도적 손실은 발생하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 목재표면의 천공처리는 목재의 내부할열방지에 효과적이었고, 아마인유의 깊은 침투를 유도할 수 있었다. 흡수성 시험 결과 처리재는 무처리재에 비하여 높은 발수효과를 나타냈다. 변색균 및 부후균에 대한 항균효력시험은 처리재 자체로서 균에 대한 독성 기작이 없었으나, 백색부후균 및 갈색부후균에 대해서는 무처리재보다 낮은 중량감소율을 나타내는 등 방부효력의 상승이 있었다.

Picosecond time-resolved and static protein fluorescence spectra and absorption spectra of octopus rhodopsin, a photorecepting protein, are measured and compared with those of bacteriorhodopsin, a photon-induced proton pumping protein, to understand the protein conformations and functions of octopus rhodopsin and its deprotonated photocycle intermediate. The bluer and weaker absorption of retinal indicates that octopus rhodopsin is better in thermal noise suppression but less efficient in light harvesting than bacteriorhodopsin. The protein fluorescence of octopus rhodopsin shows the characteristic of Trp only and the uantum efficiency and lifetime variations may result primarily from variations in the coupling strength with the retinal. The stronger intensity by four times and larger red shift by 12 nm of fluorescence suggest that octopus rhodopsin has more open and looser structure compared with bacteriorhodopsin. Fluorescence decay profiles reveal two decay components of 300 ps (60%) and 2 ns (40%). The deprotonation of protonated Schiff's base increases the shorter decay time to 500 ps and enhances the fluorescence intensity by 20%. The fluorescence and its decay time from Trp residues near retinal are influenced more by the deprotonation. The increase of fluorescence intimates that protein structure becomes loosened and relaxed further by the deprotonation of protonated Schiff's base. The driving force of sequential changes initiated by absorption of a photon is too exhausted after the deprotonation to return the intermediate to the ground state of the begun rhodopsin form.

The compressive strength of concrete is commonly used criterion in producing concrete. However, the tests on the compressive strength are complicated and time-consuming. More importantly, it is too late to make improvement even if the test result does not satisfy the required strength, since the test is usually performed at the 28th day after the placement of concrete at the construction site. Therefore, accurate and realistic strength estimation before the placement of concrete is being highly required. In this study, the estimation of the compressive strength of concrete was performed by probabilistic neural network (PNN) on the basis of concrete mix proportions. The estimation performance of PNN was improved by considering the correlation between input data and targeted output value. Adaptive probabilistic neural network (APNN) was proposed to automatically calculate the smoothing parameter in the conventional PNN by using the scheme of dynamic decay adjustment algorithm. The conventional PNN and APNN were applied to predict the compressive strength of concrete using actual test data of a concrete company. APNN showed better results than the conventional PNN in predicting the compressive strength of concrete.

Two-hundred and fifty-five strains of actinomycetes isolated from soil samples were screened for their antagonistic activities against four well-known wood decay fungi (WDF), including a brown rot fungus, Gloeophyllum trabeum and three white rot fungi Donkioporia expansa, Trametes versicolor, and Schizophyllum commune. A dual culture assay using culture media supplemented with heated or unheated culture filtrates of selected bacterial strains was used for the detection of their antimicrobial activity against four WDF. It was shown that Streptomyces atratus, S. tsukiyonensis, and Streptomyces sp. greatly inhibited the mycelial growth of the WDF tested compared with the control. To evaluate the biocontrol efficacy of S. atratus, S. tsukiyonensis, and Streptomyces sp., wood blocks of Pinus densiflora inoculated with three selected Streptomyces isolates were tested for weight loss, compression strength (perpendicular or parallel to the grain), bending strength, and chemical component changes. Of these three isolates used, Streptomyces sp. exhibited higher inhibitory activity against WDF, especially G. trabeum, as observed in mechanical and chemical change analyses. Scanning electron microscopy showed that cell walls of the wood block treated with Streptomyces strains were thicker and collapsed to a lesser extent than those of the non-treated control. Taken together, our findings indicate that Streptomyces sp. exhibits the potential to be used as a biocontrol agent for wood decay brown rot fungus that causes severe damage to coniferous woods.
