In this paper we present the optimal replacement policies following the expiration of combination warranty. We consider two types of combination warranty policies: renewing warranty and non-renewing warranty. The criterion used to determine the optimal replacement period is the expected cost rate per unit time from the user'perspective. The optimal maintenance period following the expiration of combination warranty is obtained. Some numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.

Recently, there are problems due to the exhaustion of natural aggregate resources, and strict restrictions. In this study, the possibility of using Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel slag as a substitutive material of fine aggregate is determined from the properties of mechanical and durability for the concrete that is made with Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel slag. According to the test results, when the mixing rate of Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel Slag aggregates concrete is adjusted, up to 50% of its aggregates by mixing rate can be mixed with general aggregates. The optimum mix ratio is considered to be 40%. The freezing and thawing resistance of Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel Slag aggregates concrete is identical to that of general aggregates concrete, while the carbonation resistance is found to be same as or lower than that of general aggregates concretes.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of fiber on engineering properties of Fiber-Reinforced Soil. Engineering properties of soil reinforced with discrete randomly oriented inclusion depend on soil density, particle size, grading, fiber length, tensile strength and stiffness of fiber, mixing ration of fiber, confining stress, etc.. in this paper, the influence of fiber shape, fiber length, fiber diameter, fiber content, cement content and curing duration on engineering characteristics(compaction, shear & permeability) were evaluated for typical soils produced from construction works through uniaxial compression tests and triaxial compression tests. From the experimental results, it was also investigated if there is an optimal range of fiber lengths and fiber contents for the tested soils and tested mono-filament fibers.

Lane markings such as edgelines, centerlines, and lines that delineate lanes generally provide drivers with the various information for safe driving. Drivers can easily recognize the lane markings through the color differences between the markings and road surfaces during the daytime. However, it is a bit difficult for drivers to perceive them during the nighttime due to the lack of artificial lights. Although the glass beads with the 1.5-refractive index have been used to improve the visibility of the lane markings during the nighttime, it is still difficult for drivers to recognize the lane markings properly, especially during the rainy nighttime, which may often lead to traffic accidents. To improve the retroreflectivity and visibility of the lane markings during the rainy nighttime, the high refractive beads with the 2.4-refractive index are essentially required, but they do not work appropriately during the dry nighttime. Thus, the mixed materials with the 1.5, 1.9, and 2.4-refractive beads should be considered for the satisfactory implementation of the lane markings. This study reveals the best mixing rates of the beads by conducting benefit-cost analysis under various weather conditions in Korea. The analysis results show that the lane markings with the 100% of the 2.4-refractive beads provide the highest visibility of lane markings regardless of the roadway conditions, but the benefit-cost (B/C) ratio of the bead mixture is merely 0.46. The best mixing rate of the beads, from the highest B/C ratio viewpoint, was identified as the mixture with a 80% of 1.5-refractive beads and a 20% of 2.4-refractive beads. Some limitations and future research agenda have also been discussed.

염색체의 구조적 이상으로 인한 습관성 유산과 기형아의 출산을 예방하기 위해 착상전 배아에서 할구를 분석하여 정상적인 핵형을 가진 배아만을 이식하는 착상전 유전자 진단 (preimplantation genetic diagnosis, PGD)의 성공적인 임상 적용이 보고되고 있으며, 그 적용 범위가 확대되고 있다. 그러나 일반적인 간기의 핵상을 이용한 PGD에서는 형광직접보합법 probe의 제약으로 보인자와 정상적인 핵형을 구분할 수 없는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 보다 정확한 PGD를 위해 생쥐 배아를 이용하여 분리한 할구에서 중기 염색체상을 획득하기 위해 미세소관 (microtubule) 형성 저해제를 처리하였으며, 이를 통해 확립된 방법을 인간의 PGD에 적용하고자 하였다. 과배란이 유도된 ICR 생쥐에서 4- 또는 8-세포기 배아를 수획하여 colcemid, nocodazole, vinblastine을 각각 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0$\mu$M을 처리하고, hoechst 33342로 염색하여 핵상을 관찰하여 최적의 농도를 결정하였다. 또한 각 미세소관 형성 저해제를 혼합 처리하여 가장 높은 중기 염색체상을 획득할 수 있는 혼합 처리를 결정하였다. 이렇게 결정된 혼합 처리 방법을 인간의 체외 수정 및 배아 이식술에서 획득된 3PN 배아에 처리하여 중기 염색체를 획득하였다. Colcemid, nocodazole, vinblastine 모두 1 $\mu$M이 최적 농도임을 확인할 수 있었다 (각각 96.3%, 92.0%, 98,4%). 미세소관 형성저해제를 혼합 처리하였을 경우 nocodazole과 vinblastine (각각 1$\mu$M)을 혼합 처리했을 때 중기 염색체 획득률(97.3%)이 가장 높았다. 인간의 3PN 배아에 1$\mu$M의 nocodazole과 vinblastine을 혼합 처리한 후, 113개의 할구를 분석하여 44개(38.9%)의 할구에서 중기 염색체를 확인할 수 있었다. 본 실험 결과를 통해 중기 염색체를 획득하기 위하여 미세소관 형성 저해제를 처리하는 방법은 생쥐의 배아에서는 효과적이지만, 인간의 배아에서는 그 효율이 다소 낮음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 이 방법을 개선하여 인간의 할구에서 중기 염색체의 획득률을 높이고, 이를 염색체의 구조적 이상에 대한 착상전 유전자 진단에 적용한다면, 보인자와 정상의 핵상을 구분하여 정상의 핵상만을 갖는 배아의 이식을 통하여 더욱 정확한 착상전 유전자 진단을 시행할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

태양전지에서 SiNX층은 반사방지막 역할과 태양전지 소자 보호 역할 2가지를 동시에 하고 있다. 태양전지에서 반사방지막은 굴절률 1.97, 두께 76 nm가 이론적으로 최적의 상태이다. PECVD장비를 이용하여 SiNx 층을 증착하였다. SiNX층 증착 시에 RF 파워와 혼합 가스를 변화한 후 굴절률을 측정하였다. RF 파워는 100~400 W로 변화시켰고 혼합가스 변화는 SiH4가스와 N2, H2, N2+H2 가스 각각을 같이 넣어 주면서 증착하였다. SiNX 가스 자체에 N2가 80%섞여 있는 가스를 사용하기 때문에 SiH4 가스자체 만으로도 SiNx층을 형성 할 수 있다. RF파워 300 W, SiH4 50 sccm, 기판 온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 공정시간 63초에서 굴절률 1.965, 두께 76 nm를 갖는 SiNx층을 형성 할 수 있었고 개방전압: 0.616 V, 전류밀도: 37.78 mA/$cm^2$, 충실도:76.59%, 효율: 17.82%로 가장 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있었다.

The Purpose of this Paper is the development of the day-to-day dynamic combined model on the evaluation of traveller's traffic information for multi-mode and multi-class environments. Information is assumed to be provided for multi-mode such as bus and automobile. and multi-class such as a driver with and without route guidance equipment when they depart for their trips. The information provision strategies have been developed in the base of user equilibrium, system optimum and in between them. The Sioux Falls network is used for the evaluation of the model and information provision strategies. In the numerical analysis, a Braess' paradox for the information provision, which is the increase of travel time even though the number of information usage level and user are increased, has been occurred so that these kinds of information strategies should be implemented with special care.

This study was carried out to design the optimum mixing ratio of aggregate, cyclic aggregate, and binder (moisture, emulsified asphalt, and emulsion type additives) and produce recycling cold asphalt paving mixture satisfying site work standard. The cyclic aggregate satisfying KS F 2572 was collected from waste asphalt by adequate processing. As the moisture content increased, the shearing strength was decreased. The maximum marshall stability was shown at the 3.0 wt% moisture content. So the optimum moisture content was 3.0 wt%. The marshall stability and flow value with the amount of emulsified asphalt was satisfied in the range of 0.5~2.5 wt%, and the porosity was satisfied in the range of 0.7~2.5 wt%. So the optimum amount of emulsified asphalt was 1.6 wt%. The optimum amount of emulsion type additive was 0.1 wt% in the light of marshall stability and degree of saturation of recycling cold asphalt mixture.
