In this study, to evaluate the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced cement composites by strain rate, hydraulic rapid loading test system was developed. And compressive and tensile strength of the hooked steel fiber and polyamide fiber reinforced cement composite were evaluated. As a result, the compressive strength, strain capacity and elastic modulus were increased with increasing strain rate. The effect of compressive strength by type and volume fraction of fibers was not significant. The dynamic increase factor(DIF) of the compressive strength was higher than that of the CEB-FIP model code 2010 and showed a trend similar to that of ACI-349. The tensile strength and strain capacity were increased with increasing strain rate. The hooked steel fibers were drawn from the matrix. The tensile strength and strain capacity of hooked steel fiber reinforced cement composites were increased as the strain rate increased. The tensile strength and deformation capacity of the fiber reinforced cement composites were increased. And, hooked steel fibers were drawn from the matrix. On the other hand, because the bonding properties of polyamide fiber and matrix is large, polyamide fiber was cut-off with out pullout from matrix. The strain rate effect on the tensile properties of polyamide fiber reinforced cement composites was found to be strongly affected by the tensile strength of the fibers.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio vulnificus are Gram-negative human pathogens, which exert their virulence through quorum sensing (QS) regulation. The infection of these pathogens have been known to be mediated by biofilm formation in many cases and this study carried out the time-course analysis of biofilm formation depending on the QS regulation in P. aeruginosa and V. vulnificus. In P. aeruginosa, our results demonstrated that QS-deficient mutant better attached to surface at initial stage of biofilm formation, but poorly proceeded to the maturation of the biofilm structure, while wild type less attached at initial stage but developed highly structured biofilm at late stage. Because of this, the quantitative comparison of biofilm formation between wild type and the QS mutant showed the reversion; the QS mutant formed more biofilm until 10 h after inoculation than wild type, but wild type formed much more biofilm after 10 h than QS mutant. V. vulnificus has been reported to form more biofilm with the mutation on QS system. When we performed the same time-course analysis of the V. vulnificus biofilm formation, the reversion was not detected even with prolonged culture for 108 h and the QS mutant always forms more biofilm than wild type. These results indicate that the QS regulation negatively affects the attachment at early stage but positively facilitates the biofilm maturation at late stage in P. aeruginosa, while the QS regulation has a negative effect on the biofilm formation throughout the biofilm development in V. vulnificus. Based on our results, we suggest that the developmental stage of biofilm and bacterial species should be considered when the QS system is targeted for biofilm control.

To know the features of Amyloodinium sp. parasitized in Black seabream, Acanthopagrus schlegeli, morphology and reproduction type of the parasite were investigated. Infection mode and histopathology of the parasites were also studied. In the developmental and morphological observation, the parasite passed through parasitic and non-parasitic phases with three developmental stages termed trophont, tomont, and dinospore. The trophont, 30-$80{\mu}m$ ovoidal or pyriform, for the vegetative stage had a spherical nucleus with $1.5{\mu}m$ in diameter, many food vacuoles and starch grains in cytoplasm. The tomont, 80-$90{\mu}m$ spherical, for the reproductive stage resorbed a stalk, secreted a cyst wall and reproduced within it. A dinospore, small 10-$15{\mu}m$ biflagellated, for the infestation stage had a stigma. The parasite was propagated for 15 days by serial passage in Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Trophonts began to detach from the fish about 3 days after infection and was completed within 5 days at $25{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. It took from 3 to 5 days to reproduce at the same temperature. Reinfected fish showed that parasites penetrated under the epithelia of gill filament and gill lamellae causing hyperplasia and degeneration at infected area.

Intrusive Vehicle Detectors have excellent detection performance compared to other types of detector, but disadvantages of high installation and maintenance costs, short life time due to greater damage to roads and paving materials. In contrast, Non-Intrusive Vehicle Detectors attached to the stationary pole have advantages because it does not damage the road surface and easy and less expensive to maintain. Despite these advantages, Non-Intrusive type detectors are still not been widely used in traffic signal control systems because of the low detection performance. In this study, a FMCW(Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar Vehicle Detector was designed as an alternative detector for the signalized intersection, and the performance evaluation was presented by purpose applicability.

복합레진의 중합시 발생하는 수축과 응력은 와동의 형태에 의하여 영향을 받으며 이는 수복재는 물론 접착계면의 물성을 결정하는 요인이 된다. 본 연구는 다양한 C-factor를 갖는 와동에 상아질 접착제 Clearfil SE Bond(Kuraray)를 도포하고 혼합형 복합레진인 Clearfil AP-X(Kuraray)와 미세혼합형의 Esthet-X(Dentsply)를 충전하여 미세인장강도 및 변연누출을 측정 평가함으로써 중합수축이 수복물과 치아계면에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 시행하였다. 98개의 Bovine 하악전치를 이용하여 표면의 상아질을 #600 SiC paper로 연마한 대조군 및 와동의 넓이를 조절하여 C-factor 2.3, 3.0, 3.7이 되도록 제작한 실험군 와동에 복합레진을 충전한 후 37의 증류수에 24시간 보관하였다. 저속 diamond saw(Buehler)를 이용하여 1mm 두께로 수직절단 후 고속 diamond point(#104 Shofu)를 이용하여 단면적 1mm$^2$가 되도록 hour-glass모양으로 형성하여 시편을 제작하였고, Universal testing machine(EZ-Test; Shimadzu, Japan)에 시편을 부착하고 cross head speed 1mm/min으로 인장력을 가하여 미세인장 결합강도를 측정하였다. 각 C-factor에 따른 변연누출실험을 위하여 복합레진이 수복된 치아를 37$^{\circ}C$의 증류수에 24시간 보관한 후 와동을 제외한 부위에 nail varnish를 도포하고 3mol/L silver nitrate용액에 24시간 암보관한 다음 수세하여 현상액에 24시간 경과시킨 후 치아의 장축에 따라 절단하여 침투된 색소의 정도를 광학현미경상에서 40배로 관찰하였다. 각각의 실험결과는 ANOVA/Tukey's test 및 Kruskal-Wallis non-parametric independent analysis와 Mann-Whitney U test에 의하여 통계 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 대조군에 있어서 혼합형 복합레진의 미세인장 결합강도는 미세혼합형에 비하여 높았으며, 실험군 사이에는 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 2.모든 복합레진의 미세인장 결합강도는 와동의 C-factor증가에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, 혼합형 복합레진의 실험군은 대조군에 비하여 낮게 나타났으며, 미세혼합형 복합레진에서는 유의차를 보이지 않았다. 3. 절단측 및 치은측 변연부의 미세누출정도는 혼합형 복합레진이 미세혼합형에 비하여 대체로 높게 나타났다. 4. 모든 실험군에서 미세누출은 C-factor증가에 따라 증가하였고 절단측에 비하여 치은측 변연이 높게 나타났으나 통계학적 유의차는 보이지 않았다. C-factor의 변화에 대하여 필러함량과 탄성계수가 높은 혼합형 복합레진이 미세혼합형에 비하여 더 민감한 결과를 보인다. 이는 복합레진 수복시 재료의 선택과 중합수축의 적절한 조절이 중요한 요소임을 시사한다.

In this study, an assessment is made for the helicopter vibration reduction of composite rotor blades using an active twist control concept. The piezoceramic shear actuation mechanism along with elastic couplings of composite blades is used for vibration reduction. The rotor blades are modeled as composite box-beams with actuator layers bonded on the outer surfaces of the thin-walled section. The governing equations of motion for helicopter blades are obtained using Hamilton's principle. A time domain unsteady aerodynamic theory with free wake model is used to obtain the airloads. Various rotor configurations with different elastic couplings with appropriate actuator placement are used to investigate the hub vibration characteristics. Numerical results show that a substantial reduction of $N_b$/rev hub vibration can be achieved using the optimal control algorithm.

배추 생산에 있어서 수확, 운반, 적재 작업은 가장 노동이 집약적으로 요구되는 작업들이다. 최근, 여러 종류의 양배추 수화기가 일본과 유럽에서 개발되었다. 하지만 국내에서 재래되는 배추는 크기와 형태에 있어 양배추와는 달라 기 개발 기종의 도입이 어렵다. 또한 수확작업의 생력화 효과는 운반, 정선, 적재 작업과 밀접하게 연계되어 있어 출하시의 작업체계를 고려하여 수화에 따른 수집.반출 시스템을 개발하여야 한다. 수확시의 배추는 중량이 25~45 N 정도로 다 작물에 비하여 무겁고 부피가 크기 때문에 수확작업의 기계화를 위해서는 수확장치와 더불어 연속적으로 수확되는 배추를 적절하게 수집하여 적재하고 반출하는 시스템의 개발이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 수확작업의 생력화 효과를 높이고 생력화 시스템 비용의 절감을 목적으로 작업자 1인에 의해 작업할 수 있는 반자동 형태의 트랙터 부착형 배추 수집, 적재, 반출시스템 시작기를 개발하였다. 시작기는 배추 이송장치, 적재장치, 팔렛 및 반출장치의 3개 부분과 PLC를 이용한 주 제어기로 구성하였다. 배추 수집용기로는 대략 70개의 배추를 담을 수 있는 크기가 1,050 mm$\times$1.050mm$\times$1,000mm 인 접이식 메쉬 팔렛을 사용하였으며 하단부에 롤러 안내판을 부착하여 적재한 팔렛의 배출이 용이하도록 하였다. 팔렛을 제외한 전체 시작기의 중량은 235 N 이였으며 크기는 3,940mm$\times$520mm$\times$1,630mm 이었다. 본 연구는 수확장치의 기능 및 생력화 효과를 극대화하고 배추의 손상정도를 최소화하는 시스템을 구성하고자 하였다. 이송장치는 트랙터 부착시 횡공간 점유율을 최소화하도록 하였으며 적재장치는 적재시 배추의 손상을 줄이고 배추가 놓이는 자세를 능동적으로 조절할 수 있도록 주름관을 부착하였다. 시작기의 실내시험 결과 이송장치는 0.18 m/s~0.36 m/s의 범위에서 적재장치는 0.4 m/s~2.4 m/s 범위에서 안정적으로 구동하였으며 두 장치를 동시에 구동하여 시험한 결과 이송장치는 0.26 m/s~0.36 m/s, 그리고 적재장치는 0.9 m/s~2.4 m/s 에서 적정하게 안정적으로 구동하였다. 적재장치의 성능에 있어서 1~3단 적재시에는 주름관을 이용하여 적재하고 4~5단 적재시에는 자유낙하에 의한 적재를 수행할 경우 인력에 의한 적재와 거의 동등한 적재량을 보였으며 손상정도는 거의 무시할 정도였다. 트랙터가 0.3 m/s로 주행하는 경우 노지로부터 배추를 뽑아 이송하는 뽑기벨트의 적정속도가 0.46 m/s인 점을 고려할 때 배추 이송 컨베이어는 0.34 m/s 이상의 속도를 유지할 필요가 있었으며 적재 컨베이어는 2 m/s~2.4 m/s의 속도에서 안정적으로 작동하였다. 배추의 주간 거리가 대략 30~40 cm 인 점을 감안하면 적재장치는 초당 1개의 적재성능을 보였다. 실내에서 수행한 시스템의 성능은 배추에 큰 손상없이 전반적으로 성공적으로 구동하였으나 향후 노면이 고르지 못한 포장에서의 성능 시험이 필요하다.

RFID(Radio Frequency IDentification) is an emerging technology which brings enormous productivity benefits in applications where objects have to be identified automatically. But despite of RFID's advantage, it is not easy to realize the RFID technology in business world. The failure to read RFID tags is the most urgent problem that should be solved for RFID application. Specially, in metal and liquid material, recognition rate of RFID tag is lower than others. Though some special tags for metal and liquid have been invented, it has not prevalent in business world on account of high price. In this paper, styrofoam pad is suggested to improve recognition rate of RFID tag for metal pipe which is used in fish cultivating industry. We makes experiment using Taguchi method and analyze the effects on styrofoam thickness, attachment location of tag, and angle of antenna.

The posterior root of medial meniscus maintains normal meniscal function by circumferential hoop tension and prevents extrusion of meniscus and progression of osteoarthritis. A complete tear of posterior root of medial meniscus leads to loss of hoop tension, it is important to repair it and preserve the function of the medial meniscus. Recently, a variety of arthroscopic assisted reduction and repair techniques have been used. We create an arthroscopic all-inside suture technique using a 18 gauge spinal needle and suture anchor that is easier and more convenient compared with the previous techniques. So we report this technique with a review of current literatures.
