Two way grid single-layer domes are of great advantage in fabrication and construction because of the simple fact that they have only four members at each junction. But, from a point of view of mechanics, the rectangular latticed pattern gives rise to a nonuniform rigidity-distribution in the circumferential direction. If the equivalent rigidity is considered in the axial direction of members, the in-plane equivalent shearing rigidity depends only on the in-plane bending rigidity of members and its value is very small in comparison to that of the in-plane equivalent stretching rigidity. It has a tendency to decrease buckling -strength of dome considerably by external force. But it is possible to increase buckling strength by the use of roofing covering materials connected to framework. In a case like this, shearing rigidity of roofing material increases buckling strength of the overall structure and can be designed economically from the viewpoint of practice. Therefore, the purpose of this paper, in Lamella dome and rectangular latticed dome that are a set of 2-way grid dome, is to clarify the effects of roofing covering materials for increasing of buckling strength of overall dome. Analysis method is based on FEM dealing with the geometrically nonlinear deflection problems. The conclusion were given as follows: 1. In case of Lamella domes which have nearly equal rigidity in the direction of circumference, the rigidity of roofing covering materials does not have a great influence on buckling-strength, but in rectangular latticed domes that has a clear periodicity of rigidity, the value of its buckling strength has a tendency to increase considerably with increasing rigidity of roofing covering materials 2. In case of rectangular latticed domes, as rise-span-ratio increases, models which is subjected to pressure -type-uniform loading than vertical-type-uniform loading are higher in the aspects of the increasing rate of buckling- strength according to the rate of shear reinforcement rigidity, but in case of Lamella dome, the condition of loading and rise-span-ratio do not have a great influence on the increasing rate of buckling strength according to the rate of shear reinforcement rigidity.

In-depth understanding of the influence of hot pressing and melt processing on the properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is critical for effective mechanical recycling of TPU scraps. Therefore, this study focused on the effects of hot pressing and melt mixing on molecular weight (MW), polydispersity index (PDI), melt index (MI), characteristic IR peaks, hardness, thermal degradation and mechanical properties of TPU. The original TPU pellet (o-TPU) showed two broad peaks at lower and higher MW regions. However, four TPU film samples, TPU-0 prepared only by hot pressing of o-TPU pellet and TPU-1, TPU-2 and TPU-3 obtained by hot pressing of melt mixed TPUs (where the numbers indicate the run number of melt mixing), exhibited only a single peak at higher MW region. The TPU-0 film sample had the highest $M_n$ and the lowest PDI and hardness. The TPU-1 film sample had the highest $M_w$ and tensile modulus. As the run number of melt mixing increased, the peak-intensity of hydrogen bonded C=O stretching increased, however, the free C=O peak intensity, tensile strength/elongation at break and average MW decreased. All the samples showed two stage degradations. The degradation temperatures of TPU-0 sample (359 $^{\circ}C$ and 394 $^{\circ}C$)were higher than those of o-TPU (342 $^{\circ}C$ and 391 $^{\circ}C$). While all the melt mixed samples degraded at almost the same temperature (365 $^{\circ}C$ and 381 $^{\circ}C$). The first round of hot pressing and melt mixing was found to be the critical condition which led to the significant changes of $M_n$/$M_w$/PDI, MI, mechanical property and thermal degradation of TPU.

Resveratrol (RES) and genistein (GEN) are the dietary natural products known to possess chemopreventive property and also the ability to repair DNA damage induced by mutagens/carcinogens. It is believed that the therapeutic activity of these compounds could be primarily due to their interaction with nucleic acids but detailed reports are not available. We here explore the interaction of these drugs with nucleic acids considering DNA and RNA as a potential therapeutic target. The interaction of RES and GEN has been analysed in buffered solution with DNA [saline sodium citrate (SSC)] and RNA [tris ethylene diammine tetra acetic acid (TE)] using UV-absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The UV analysis revealed lesser binding affinity with nucleic acids at lower concentration of RES (P/D = 5.00 and 10.00), while at higher drug concentration (P/D = 0.75, 1.00 and 2.50) hyperchromic effect with shift in the ${\lambda}_{max}$ is noted for DNA and RNA. A major RES-nucleic acids complexes was observed through base pairs and phosphate backbone groups with K = $35.782\;M^{-1}$ and K = $34.25\;M^{-1}$ for DNA-RES and RNA-RES complexes respectively. At various concentrations of GEN (P/D = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 2.50) hyperchromicity with shift in the ${\lambda}_{max}$ from 260 $\rightarrow$ 263 om and 260 $\rightarrow$ 270 nm is observed for DNA-GEN and RNA-GEN complexes respectively. The binding constant (from UV analysis) for GEN-nucleic acids complexes could not be obtained due to GEN absorbance overlap with that of nucleic acids at 260 nm. Nevertheless a detailed analysis with regard to the interaction of these drugs (RES/GEN) with DNA and RNA could feasibly be understood by FTIR spectroscopy. The NH band of free DNA and RNA which appeared at $3550-3100\;cm^{-1}$ and $3650-2700\;cm^{-1}$ shifted to $3450-2950\;cm^{-1}$ and $3550-3000\;cm^{-1}$ in DNA-RES and RNA-RES complexes respectively. Similarly shifts corresponding to $3650-3100\;cm^{-1}$ and $3420-3000\;cm^{-1}$ have been observed in DNA-GEN and RNA-GEN complexes respectively. The observed reduction in NH band of free nucleic acids upon complexation of these drugs is an indication of the involvement of the hydroxyl (OH) and imino (NH) group during the interaction of the drugs and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) through H-bonded formation. The interaction of RES and GEN with bases appears in the order of G $\geq$ T > C > A and A > C $\geq$ T > G. Further interaction of these natural compounds with DNA and RNA is also supported by changes in the vibrational frequency (shift/intensity) in symmetrical and asymmetrical stretching of aromatic rings of drugs in the complex spectra. No appreciable shift is observed in the DNA and RNA marker bands, indicating that the B-DNA form and A-family conformation of RNA are not altered during their interaction with RES and GEN.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of a shoulder-strengthening exercise on muscle strength of shoulder flexors and extensors of caregivers. Methods: The study consisted of 19 caregivers (2 males and 17 females) employed by Medical Center B. All the participants took part in an 8-week shoulder muscle strengthening exercise, based on previous studies. In the first week, the subjects took part in a stretching exercise enhance the range of motion. In the second week, they participated in an exercise aimed at improving shoulder blade stability. From the third to seventh weeks, a resistance exercise of different intensities was applied in a phased manner. Finally, in the eight week, the subjects took part in plyometric exercise. Peak torque, average power, and total work of shoulder flexors and extensors in both sides were measured before and after the exercise at an angular speed of 120deg/sec using an isokinetic device. Wilcoxon's singed-ranks test was conducted to analyze differences in muscle strength before and after the intervention. Results: After the exercise, there was a significant improvement in peak torque and average power of flexors of the right arm. After the exercise, peak torque, total work, and average power showed a significant improvement in the flexors of the left arm (p<0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference in extensor muscle strength in either arm after the exercise. Conclusion: Shoulder flexors of caregivers are utilized frequently in the workplace. Implementation of extensor-strengthening exercises, in addition to flexor-strengthening exercises, can contribute to reducing the incidence rate of shoulder injuries among caregivers.

물 표면 위의 스테아르산 단분자막을 은을 입힌 유리판에 이전시켜 1층, 3층, 9층 및 21층의 Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) 분자막을 제조하였다. 표면압은 30 mN/m 이었으며 FTIR-RA 분광법을 이용하여 31~72$^{\circ}C$에서 적외선 흡수 스펙트럼을 얻었다. $31^{\circ}C$에서 탄화수소 사슬이 보다 더 수직적인 배향을 나타내고 있었으며 1층의 경우에는 C = O의 피크가 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 은표면에서 이미지 이중극 효과나 금속염을 형성하기 때문으로 본다. 1층과 3층의 경우에는 스테아르산의 트란스 이성질체가 많고 21층의 경우에는 시스형이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 온도 변화에 대한 FTIR-RAS 측정에서 분자층의 수를 증가시키면 사슬의 녹는점이 높아졌으나 1층의 경우는 예외를 나타내는데 이는 1층의 경우 은기판과의 강한 상호작용에 의한 때문이다.

다양한 산업 분야의 구조물은 여러 부구조의 조합으로 구성되며, 시스템의 자유도 또한 무수히 많다. 높은 복잡성을 가지는 구조물의 해석 및 계산 효율을 향상시키기 위해서 해석 모델의 단순화 및 자유도 축소가 요구된다. 지난 50여 년 동안 규모가 큰 공학적 문제를 단순화하기 위해 다양한 부분구조화 기법들이 개발되어 왔다. 이러한 부분구조화 기법들은 Newton-Raphson 알고리즘 등과 같은 반복계산을 동반하는 비선형 구조해석 문제 해석에 매우 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 기 개발된 비선형 부분구조화 기법 중의 하나인 모드미분(modal derivatives)을 이용하여 기하비선형 보의 모델 축소에 적용하고자 한다. 모드미분은 모드 기반 축소 기저의 2차항의 형태로, 선형모드의 조합으로 근사 가능한 변위벡터를 미소변위에 대한 Taylor 급수를 통해 확인할 수 있으며, 시스템의 고유치 문제를 모드 좌표로 미분을 함으로써 얻어진다. 모드미분에는 비선형 접선 강성행렬의 미분을 포함하고 있으며, 이는 유한차분법 등의 근사를 통해 계산할 수 있다. 제안된 방법론은 기하학적 비선형 문제에 우수한 성능을 보이는 동시회전 유한요소법에 적용하였다. 수치예제를 통해 보의 경계가 수평으로 움직일 수 있는 문제에서는 기존의 모드축소기법이 매우 비효율적임을 알 수 있었다. 한편 모드미분을 이용한 축소기법은 다양한 경계조건에 대하여 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 제조한 MCM-41에 Cu의 함량에 따른 NO의 전환율을 고찰하였다. MCM-41은 실리카 원으로 colloid silica를 사용하였고, template로 cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTMACl)를 사용하여 수열 합성하였으며, Cu/MCM-41은 Cu(II) acetylacetonate를 사용해서 Cu의 농도를 5, 10, 20 그리고 40%로 변화시켜 제조하였다. 표면 특성은 pH, FT-IR로 분석하였고, 육방배열의 1차원 기공 구조는 XRD로 고찰하였다. $N_2/77K$ 등온흡착 특성은 BET식과 t-plot을 이용하여 확인하였으며, NO 제거 효율은 가스크로마토그래프를 이용하여 측정하였다. 실험 결과, Si-OH와 Si-O-Si의 stretching vibration peak가 관찰되었으며, (100), (110), (200) 그리고 (210)의 육방배열의 1차원 구조를 확인하였다. Cu 금속이 도입된 MCM-41은 Cu 도입량이 증가할수록 비표면적과 미세기공부피는 감소한 반면에 NO 제거 효율은 증가하였다. 결과적으로 Cu/MCM-41의 Cu의 함량이 증가함에 따라 전체 촉매작용 반응과 NO 제거율이 증가하였다.
