In locations where the cost of concrete is relatively high, or in situations where the weight of concrete members is to be kept to a minimum, it may be economical to use hollow R.C. members. The ductility of circular hollow R.C. columns with one layer of longitudinal and spiral reinforcement placed near the outside face of the section and the steel tube placed on the inside face of the section is investigated. Such hollow sections are confined through the wall thickness since the steel tube is placed. In this study, moment-curvature analyses are conducted with Mander's confined concrete stress-strain relationship. The variables influenced on the ultimate strain is the ratio and yield strength of confining reinforcement and the compression strength for confined concrete. From this ultimate strain - the transverse reinforcement ratio relationship, the transverse reinforcement ratio for circular hollow reinforced columns with confinement is proposed. The proposed transverse reinforcement ratio is confirmed by experimental results.

In this paper, alternative natural refrigerant R290(Propane), R600(Butane), R717(Ammonia), R1270(Propylene) for freon refrigerant R22 were used working fluids for 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system. The operating parameters considered in this study included evaporation temperature, condensation temperature, subcooling degree, superheating degree, mass flow rate ratio of inter-cooler. The main results were summarized as follows : The COP of 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system increases with the increasing subcooling degree and mass flow rate ration of inter-cooler, but decreases with the increasing evaporating temperature, condensing temperature and superheating degree. Therefore, subcooling degree, mass flow rate ratio of inter-cooler of 2-stage compression and 1-stage expansion refrigeration system using natural refrigerants have an effect on COP of this system. The COP of natural refrigerants was higher than the COP of freon R22 in this study, so points to be considered are the security, the attached facilities for natural refrigerants than COP.

In the $(Pb_{1-x}M_x)[(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_yTi_{0.95-y}]O_3$ system, where M=Ca and Sr, the piezoelectric properties were evaluated to examine the possibility of application to piezoelectric transformer. A Rosen-type piezoelectric transformer was formed, then the electrical properties of voltage step-up ratio, frequency characteristics etc. were analysed. The morphotropic phase boundary was determined to be y=0.475 in $Pb[(Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_yTi_{0.95-y}]O_3$ system and the piezoelectric properties of this composition was kp=0.59, Qm=1600 and $\varepsilon_r$=1150. Moreover, when 1-2 mol% of Sr are substituted, enhanced piezoelectric properties of kp=0.61, Qm=1600 and $\varepsilon_r$=1400 were shown. The temperature rising (ΔT) of a piezoelectric transformer with $Pb[Mn_{1/3}Sb_{2/3})_{0.05}Zr_{0.475}Ti_{0.475})]O_3 $ composition was $10^{\circ}C$, and the voltage step-up ratio was 500 when the output voltage was 4000V, whereas the ΔT was below $3^{\circ}C$ and the resonant frequency variation ($\Delta f_r$) as a function of load resistance was below 5% when the output voltage was 2000 V. These characteristics are superior to the properties of materials, which were substituted by Ca or without substitution.

The effect of BRL 34915, a $K^{+}$ channe$Na^{+}$l opener, on renal function was investigated in anesthetized dog. BRL 34915, when given into the vein, elicited the decrease of urine volume accompanied with the reduction of renal plasma flow (RPF), osmolar clearance ($C_{osm}$) and amounts of sodium excreted into urine ($E_{na}$), whereas reabsorption rate of sodium in renal tubules ($R_{na}$), ratio of $K^{+}$ against $Na^{+}$ in urine ($K^{+}$ /$Na^{+}$) were elevated significantly with a partial fall of mean arterial pressure (MAP). BRL 34915 injected into a renal artery produced the diuretic action along with the increase in RPF $C_{osm}$, $E_{na}$ and amounts of potassium excreted in urine ($E_{k}$), and the decrease in $R_{na}$, reabsorption rate of potassium in renal tubules ($R_{k}$), free water clearance ($C_{H20}$) and $K^{+}/Na^{+}$ ratio in only ipsilateral kidney, however changes of the renal function were not observed in control kidney. BRL 34915 given into carotid artery exhibited the same aspect as changes of renal function induced by intravenous BRL 34915. These results suggest that BRL 34915 has dual effects, renally acting diuretic and centrally acting antidiuretic action.n.

The purpose of this study is to develop a growth prediction model that can predict growth and development information influencing the production of citrus fruits: the growth model algorithm that can predict floral leaf ratio, number of fruit sets, fruit width, and overweight depending on the main period of growth and development with consideration of the applied weather factors. Every year, large scale of manpower was mobilized to investigate the production of outdoor-grown citrus fruits, but it was limited to recycling the data without an observation supporting system to systemize the database. This study intends to create a systematical database based on the basic data obtained through the observation supporting system in application of an algorithm according to the accumulated long term data and prepare a base for its continuous improvement and development. The importance of the observed data is increasingly recognized every year, and the citrus fruit observation supporting system is important for utilizing an effective policy and decision making according to various applications and analysis results through an interconnection and an integration of the investigated statistical data. The citrus fruit is a representative crop having a great ripple effect in Jeju agriculture. An early prediction of the growth and development information influencing the production of citrus fruits may be helpful for decision making in supply and demand control of agricultural products.

This paper reports the variations of varistor voltage, nonlinear exponent, leakage current, and dissipation factor against surge stress of ZnO-P $r_{6}$ $O_{11}$-CoO-C $r_2$ $O_3$-E $r_2$ $O_3$(ZPCCE)-based varistors manufactured with the variations of sintering temperature. It was found that the variations of electrical parameters against surge stressing current of 100 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$(8x20 ${\mu}\textrm{s}$) is not so large under the surge stress of 700 times. Among varistors, specially the varistor sintered at 134$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited the smallest variations, with %$\Delta$ $V_{lmA}$=+0.23%, %$\Delta$$\alpha$=+0.23%, %$\Delta$ $I_{L}$=0%, %$\Delta$tan$\delta$=-6.94%. The clamping voltage ratio( $V_{c}$/ $V_{lmA}$) of all varistors was less than 2.2.2.2.2.2.2.

$BaTiO_3$를 기본조성으로 하는 PTC 써미스터는 Curie 온도이상에서 저항이 급격히 상승하는 산화물 반도체 세라믹이다. 이러한 성질을 이용하여 degaussing 소자, 정온 발열체, 온도센서, 전류 제한소자 등 상업적으로 여러 분야에서 연구되고 있다. 또한 원가절감 등을 위하여 Ni 내부전극을 사용하여 환원 분위기에서 소결하는 칩 타입에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Sm 함량(0.1at%~1.0at%)을 달리한 $BaTiO_3$(Si, Mn, Ca) 계를 선택하여 3%$H_2/N_2$ 분위기에서 1200~$1260^{\circ}C$, 2h 소결한 후 공기 중에서 재산화 처리하고 재산화 시간에 따른 PTC 특성 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 재산화 온도와 시간은 각각 $800^{\circ}C$와 0.5h~10h으로 하였다. Sm 함량을 달리하여 환원 분위기에서 소결한 시편의 미세구조와 PTC 특성과의 상관관계를 관찰한 결과, 소결온도가 낮을수록 PTC 특성은 좋아졌으며, 상온 비저항은 Sm 함량이 높아질수록 낮아졌다. 또한 Sm 함량이 높아질수록 jumping ratio$(R_{max}/R_{25^{\circ}C})$는 낮아졌다. 재산화 시간에 따른 PTC 특성은 다소 떨어졌지만 소결온도에 따라 달리 나타났다. Jumping ratio$(R_{max}/R_{25^{\circ}C})$는 Sm을 0.7 at% 첨가한 계에서 재산화를 1시간 처리한 시편에서 가장 우수하였다.

The construction of Reinforced Concrete (R/C) buildings with unreinforced masonry infills is part of the traditional building practice in many countries with regions of high seismicity throughout the world. When these buildings are subjected to seismic motions the presence of masonry infills and especially their configuration can highly influence the seismic damage state. The capability to avoid configurations of masonry infills prone to seismic damage at the stage of initial architectural concept would be significantly definitive in the context of Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering. Along these lines, the present paper investigates the potential of instant prediction of the damage response of R/C buildings with various configurations of masonry infills utilizing Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs). To this end, Multilayer Feedforward Perceptron networks are utilized and the problem is formulated as pattern recognition problem. The ANNs' training data-set is created by means of Nonlinear Time History Analyses of 5 R/C buildings with a large number of different masonry infills' distributions, which are subjected to 65 earthquakes. The structural damage is expressed in terms of the Maximum Interstorey Drift Ratio. The most significant conclusion which is extracted is that the ANNs can reliably estimate the influence of masonry infills' configurations on the seismic damage level of R/C buildings incorporating their optimum design.

TiAlN thin films were prepared by a multi target r.f magnetron sputtering system under different conditions. We have investigated the resistivity and T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) characteristics of TiAlN films deposited on $Al_2O_3$ and glass substrates by sputtering in an $Ar:N_2$ gas mixture. We used Al and Ti metal as Target Material and $Ar:N_2$ gas as working gas. We varied the partial pressure ratio of $N_2/Ar$ from 0.2/7 to 1.0/6.2 (SCCM). And the R.F power of Ti and Al Target also were varied as 160/240, 200/200 and 240/160(W). In this experiment, we can get the precision thin film resistor with a very low T.C.R. (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance) below 25 ppm ${\Omega}/^{\circ}C$.
