Unbonded Post-Tensioned (UPT) precast concrete systems have been shown to provide excellent seismic resistance. In order to improve understanding of the dynamic response of UPT systems, a series of snap back tests on four UPT systems was undertaken consisting of one Single Rocking Wall (SRW) and three Precast Wall with End Columns (PreWEC) systems. The snap back tests provided both a static pushover and a nonlinear free vibration response of a system. As expected the SRW exhibited an approximate bi-linear inertia force-drift response during the free vibration decay and the PreWEC walls showed an inertia force-drift response with increased strength and energy dissipation due to the addition of steel O-connectors. All walls exhibited negligible residual drifts regardless of the number of O-connectors or the post-tensioning force. When PreWEC systems of the same strength were compared the inclusion of further energy dissipating O-connectors was found to decrease the measured peak wall acceleration. Both the local and global wall parameters measured at pseudo-static and dynamic loading rates showed similar behaviour, which demonstrates that the dynamic behaviour of UPT walls is well represented by pseudo-static tests. The SRW was found to have Equivalent Viscous Damping (EVD) between 0.9-3.8% and the three PreWEC walls were found to have maximum EVD of between 14.7-25.8%.

동해안 지역에서 산불로 고사된 소나무의 5년에 걸친 경시적 재질 변화를 역학성능을 중심으로 조사하였다. 고사에 따른 재질열화로 가장 크게 영향 받는 역학성능은 충격 휨 흡수에너지였다. 따라서 고사 초기의 재질변화를 예측하는 지표로 활용이 가능할 것으로 밝혀졌다. 고사 경과에 따라 변재의 재질열화가 심재에 비해 두드러지게 진행되었다. 열화의 정도는 충격 휨 흡수에너지가 가장 컸으며 압축강도가 가장 작았다. 고사 이후의 외관 변화와 역학성능의 열화진행 정도로 볼 때 산불피해 소나무의 유효한 활용을 위한 적정 벌채 시기는 산불발생 1년 이내가 바람직한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Silk is a unique natural biopolymer with outstanding biocompatibility, high mechanical strength, and superior optical transparency. Due to its excellent properties, silk has been widely reported as an ideal biomaterial for several biomedical applications. Recently, fluorescent silk protein, a variant of native silk, has been reported as a biophotonic material with the potential for bioimaging and biosensing. Despite the realization of fluorescent silk, the traditional degumming process of fluorescence silk is crude and often results in fluorescence loss. The loss of fluorescent properties is attributed to the sensitivity of silk fibroin to temperature and solvent concentration during degumming. However, there is no comprehensive information on the influence of these processing parameters on fluorescence evolution and decay during fluorescent silk processing. Therefore, we conducted a spectroscopic study on fluorescence decay as a function of temperature, concentration, and duration for fluorescent silk cocoon degumming. Sodium carbonate solution was tested for degumming the fluorescent silk cocoons with different concentrations and temperatures; also, sodium carbonate solution is combined with Alcalase enzyme and triton x-100 to find optimal degumming conditions. Additionally, we conducted a molecular dynamics study to investigate the fundamental effect of temperature on the stability of the fluorescent protein. We observed degumming temperature as the prime source of fluorescent intensity reduction. From the MD study, fluorescence degradation originated from the thermal agitation of fluorescent protein Cα atoms and fluctuations of amino acid residues located in the chromophore region. Overall, degumming fluorescent silk with sodium carbonate and Alcalase enzyme solution at 25 ℃ preserved fluorescence.

A numerical approach based on a potential flow method is developed to simulate the unsteady interaction between propeller and rudder. In this approach, a panel method is used to solve the flow around the rudder and a vortex lattice method is used to solve the flow around the propeller, respectively. An iterative procedure is adopted to solve the interaction between propeller and rudder. The effects of one component on the other are evaluated by using induced velocities due to the other component at every time step. A fully unsteady wake alignment algorithm is implemented into the vortex lattice method to simulate the unsteady propeller flow. The Rosenhead-Moore core model is employed during the wake alignment procedure to avoid the singularities and instability. The Lamb-Oseen vortex model is adopted in the present method to decay the vortex strength around the rudder and to eliminate unrealistically high induced velocity. The present methods are applied to predict the performance of a cavitating horn-type rudder in the presence of a 6-bladed propeller. The predicted cavity patterns compare well with those observed from the experiments.

We have intensively carried out numerical calculations on flare predictions from the solar activity data for photospheric sunspots, chromospheric flare and plages, coronal X-ray intensities and 2800MHz radio fluxes, by using multilinear regression method. Intensities of solar flares for the next day have been predicted from the solar data between 1977-1982 and 1993-1996. Firstly, we have calculated flare predictions with the multilinear regression method, by using separate solar data in growth and decay phase of sunspot area and magnetic field strength from the whole data on solar activities. Secondly, the same operations as above have been made for the remaining data after removal of the data with large deviation from the mean calculated by the above prediction method. we have reached a conclusion that average hit ratio of correct predictions to total predictions of flares with class of M5 over has been as high as 70% for the first case and that of correct prediction number to total observation number has been shown as 61%.

In this paper, we obtained the monodomain alignment of nematic liquid Crystal(NLC) in the cell fabricated by transcription alignment method on polyimide(PI) surface with side chain. It is considered that the LC alignment produced by the transcription alignment method is attributed to a memory effect of the NLC on PI surfaces. Also we observed that the generated pretilt angle of NLC is about $3.7^{\circ}$ with transcription alignment on PI surface. Next, we measured that the voltage-transmittance characteristics of transcription-aligned TN-LCD are almost same compared to rubbing-aligned TN-LCD. Also, we measured that the curve of transcription-aligned TN-LCD is less sharp than that of the rubbing-aligend TN-LCD in the decay time characteristics. It is considered that the response time characteristics of transcription-aligned TN-LCD are attributed to the weak anchoring strength between the LC molecules and the polymer surface.

The density and strength of wood is affected by degradations and defects, such as voids and knots. Old wooden structures such as traditional cultural properties have been deteriorated by these types of defects. They were evaluated by a visual observation that is difficult to evaluate the inner deterioration in structures. In this study, three nondestructive testing techniques were investigated to detect the wooden structural members. Ultrasonic stress wave tests, drilling resistance tests and visual inspections were used to examine the structural wood members. Patterns of Resistograph using by drilling resistance tests could indicate the features of internal wood such as voids, knots, decay, fungi, and so on. The technique just like as ultrasonic stress wave tests, however, difficult to detect exactly area where small amounts of internal deterioration in logs are. In spite of results of ultrasonic stress wave test, the internal deterioration of wooden structural members could be evaluated by the relationship between ultrasonic stress wave tests and drilling resistance tests.

비열 살균 기술인 high voltage PEF를 이용하여 당근 주스를 처리하였을 때 당근주스의 살균력과 저장 중 품질 변화를 관찰하였다. 전기장의 세기를 50, 60, 70kV/cm에서 처리 시간을 달리하여 당근주스를 처리한 결과 전기장의 세기가 증가함에 따라 일반 세균과 효모 및 곰팡이 모두 감소하였다. 효모 및 곰팡이는 65 kV/cm, $200{\mu}s$ 처리시 모든 균이 사멸되었고 일반세균은 멸균에까지 이르지는 못하였으나 70 kV/cm $200{\mu}s$ 처리 후 4 log cycle 정도 감소되었다. 고전압 펄스 전기장 처리에 사용되는 펄스 파형인 square wave pulse와 exponential decay pulse가 살균효과에 미치는 차이를 비교하기 위하여 각각 4.25와 6.25의 pH에서 PEF 처리를 하여 실험하였다. 그 결과 square wave pulse를 이용한 PEF의 살균효과가 exponential decay pulse를 이용하였을 때보다 우수하였으며 처리 시간이 길어질수록, 당근주스의 pH가 낮을수록 두 파형 사이의 살균효과는 더 큰 차이를 나타내었다. 온도 및 pH의 병합처리가 PEF의 살균효과에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 온도 및 pH를 달리하여 55kV/cm, $132{\mu}s$의 조건에서 PEF 처리한 결과 병합 처리시 살균효과가 눈에 띄게 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. PEF 처리한 당근주스의 저장 시 품질변화를 관찰한 결과 pH 와 열처리를 PEF와 병합하여 처리한 후 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장한 당근 주스에서만 pH, $^{\circ}Brix$, 산도, 색도 그리고 ${\alpha}-,\;{\beta}-carotenes$함량에 눈에 띄는 차이를 나타나지 않았으며, 28일 동안 균의 생육을 관찰할 수 없었다.
