One of the shortcomings of seismic bridge design codes is the lack of clarity in defining the role of different seismic isolation systems with linear or nonlinear behavior in terms of R-factor. For example, based on AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design, R-factor for all substructure elements of isolated bridges should be half of those expressed in the AASHTO standard specifications for highway bridges (i.e., R=3 for single columns and R=5 for multiple column bent) but not less than 1.50. However, no distinction is made between two commonly used types of seismic isolation devices, i.e., elastomeric rubber bearing (ERB) with linear behavior, and lead rubber bearing (LRB) with nonlinear behavior. In this paper, five existing bridges located in Iran with two types of deck-pier connection including ERB and LRB isolators, and two bridge models with monolithic deck-pier connection are developed and their R-factor values are assessed based on the Uang's method. The average R-factors for the bridges with ERB isolators are calculated as 3.89 and 4.91 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are not in consonance with the AASHTO guide specifications for seismic isolation design (i.e., R=3/2=1.5 for the longitudinal direction and R=5/2=2.5 for the transverse direction). This is a clear indicator that the code-prescribed R-factors are conservative for typical bridges with ERB isolators. Also for the bridges with LRB isolators, the average computed R-factors equal 1.652 and 2.232 in the longitudinal and transverse directions, respectively, which are in a good agreement with the code-specified R-factor values. Moreover, in the bridges with monolithic deck-pier connection, the average R-factor in the longitudinal direction is obtained as 2.92 which is close to the specified R-factor in the bridge design codes (i.e., 3), and in the transverse direction is obtained as 2.41 which is about half of the corresponding R-factor value in the specifications (i.e., 5).

와동 형성시 C-factor와 충전방법이 복합레진 수복물에서의 수축 응력에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 발거된 소구치를 대상으로 C-factor가 3.6과 1.0인 와동을 각각 형성한 후 hybrid형 복합레진인 $Z-250^{TM}$(3M ESPE U.S.A.)과 flowable형 복합레진인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$(3M ESPE U.S.A.)를 사용하여 layering을 시행하고 광중합하면서 strain gauge법을 이용하여 치질에서의 수축 응력을 측정하였다. 시편을 절단하여 레진과 상아질 사이 계면의 접착상태를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. C-factor에 따른 수축 응력을 측정한 결과 C-factor가 3.7인 제 1군과 제 2군 그리고 제 5군이 900초 후 각각 0.11, 0.07, 0.07 MPa로 C-factor가 1.0인 제 3군과 제 4군의 0.05와 0.04 MPa에 비해 크게 나타났다(P<0.05). 1,800초 후에는 제 1군, 제 5군, 제 2군, 제 3군, 제 4순으로 크게 나타났으나 제 2군과 제 3군 그리고 제 3군과 제 4군 사이에는 유의성이 없었다. 2. 재료에 따른 수축 응력의 차이는 C-factor가 3.7인 와동의 경우 hybrid형 레진인 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$이 flowable 레진인 $Filtek\;flow^{TM}$에 비해 수축 응력이 크게 나타났으나(P<0.05), C-factor가 1.0인 와동의 경우 재료의 차이에 따른 수축응력의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3. Layering에 따른 수축 응력은 Filtek $Z-250^{TM}$을 layering 없이 bulk 충전한 제 1군에 비해 flowable 레진을 layering한 제 5군이 전 측정 시간대에 걸쳐 수축 응력이 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 4. C-factor가 3.7인 제 1군과 제 2군 제 5군은 900초까지 수축 응력이 증가하다 이후 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 5. C-factor가 1.0인 와동의 경우 충전용 레진 종류에 관계없이 레진과 와동벽 사이에 긴밀한 접착 상태를 보였으나 C-factor가 3.7인 와동의 경우 부분적으로 틈이 관찰되었다. 전반적으로 와동저에 비해 와동벽에서 틈이 더 많이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 보면 복합레진 수복시 수축응력에 따른 합병증을 예방하기 위해 C-factor를 크지 않게 와동을 설계, 형성하여야 하며 C-factor가 클 경우 flowable 레진을 이장하는 등 재료적인 면에서의 선택과 적용법이 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

Let a and b be nonnegative integers with 2 $\leq$ a < b, and let G be a Hamiltonian graph of order n with n > $\frac{(a+b-5)(a+b-3)}{b-2}$. An [a, b]-factor F of G is called a Hamiltonian [a, b]-factor if F contains a Hamiltonian cycle. In this paper, it is proved that G has a Hamiltonian [a, b]-factor if $\delta(G)\;\geq\;\frac{(a-1)n+a+b-3)}{a+b-3}$ and $\delta(G)$ > $\frac{(a-2)n+2{\alpha}(G)-1)}{a+b-4}$.

As the mechanism underlying glucose metabolism regulation by oxymatrine is unclear, this study investigated the effects of oxymatrine on pyroptosis in INS-1 cells. Flow cytometry was employed to examine cell pyroptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Cell pyroptosis was also investigated via transmission electron microscopy and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release. Protein levels were detected using western blotting and interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 secretion by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The caspase-1 activity and DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 protein (Nrf2) were also assessed. In the high glucose and high fat-treated INS-1 cells (HG + PA), the caspase-1 activity and LDH content, as well as Nod-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3, Gsdmd-N, caspase-1, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD, IL-1β, and IL-18 levels were increased. Moreover, P65 protein levels increased in the nucleus but decreased in the cytoplasm. Oxymatrine attenuated these effects and suppressed high glucose and high fat-induced ROS production. The increased levels of nuclear Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the HG + PA cells were further elevated after oxymatrine treatment, whereas cytoplasmic Nrf2 and Keleh-like ECH-associated protein levels decreased. Additionally, the elevated transcriptional activity of p65 in HG + PA cells was reduced by oxymatrine, whereas that of Nrf2 increased. The results indicate that the inhibition of pyroptosis in INS-1 cells by oxymatrine, a key factor in its glucose metabolism regulation, involves the suppression of the NF-κB pathway and activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Statistical analysis technique was applied to operating parameters and removal efficiency data sets obtained from advanced wastewater treatment plant during 1 year. Through factor analysis three factors derived varimax rotation were selected each plant. Three components explained 96%, 87% of the total variance of the process, respectively. The components on $A_2O$ Plant were identified in the following order : 1) Shortening the SRT during high-flow period, 2) Keeping biomass high on winter 3) factor was related to DO. On DNR plant, we defined them as follows: factor 1, Prolonged the SRT during high-flow period; factor 2 was related to sludge return; factor 3, Influent BOD during low-DO period. This technique was believed to assist operators in identifying priorities to improve operation efficiency.
