The state-based peridynamics is considered a nonlocal method in which the equations of motion utilize integral form as opposed to the partial differential equations in the classical continuum mechanics. As a result, the enforcement of boundary conditions in solid mechanics analyses cannot follow the standard way as in a classical continuum theory. In this paper, a new approach for the boundary condition enforcement in the state-based peridynamic formulation is presented. The new method is first formulated based on a convex kernel approximation to restore the Kronecker-delta property on the boundary in 1-D case. The convex kernel approximation is further localized near the boundary to meet the condition that recovers the correct boundary particle forces. The new formulation is extended to the two-dimensional problem and is shown to reserve the conservation of linear momentum and angular momentum. Three numerical benchmarks are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed approach.

Four compounds, including two novel macrolides, were isolated from an endophyte Streptomyces sp. Is9131 of Maytenus hookeri. Spectral data indicated that these compounds were dimeric dinactin (1), dimeric nonactin (2), cyclo-homononactic acid (3), and cyclo-nonactic acid (4). Bioassay results showed that dimeric dinactin had strong antineoplastic activity and antibacterial activity.

Energy efficiency is critical for Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) since sensor nodes usually have very limited energy supply from battery. Sleep scheduling and nodes cooperation are two of the most efficient methods to achieve energy conservation in WSNs. In this paper, we propose an adaptive energy optimization approach for target tracking applications, called Energy-Efficient Node Coordination (EENC), which is based on the grid structure. EENC provides an unambiguous calculation and analysis for optimal the nodes cooperation theoretically. In EENC, the sleep schedule of sensor nodes is locally synchronized and globally unsynchronized. Locally in each grid, the sleep schedule of all nodes is synchronized by the grid head, while globally the sleep schedule of each grid is independent and is determined by the proposed scheme. For dynamic sleep scheduling in tracking state we propose a multi-level coordination algorithm to find an optimal nodes cooperation of the network to maximize the energy conservation while preserving the tracking performance. Experimental results show that EENC can achieve energy saving of at least 38.2% compared to state-of-the-art approaches.

The ethanol production of Trichoderma reesei was improved by genome shuffling in our previous work. Using RNA-Seq, the transcriptomes of T. reesei wild-type CICC40360 and recombinant strain HJ48 were compared under fermentation conditions. Based on this analysis, we defined a set of T. reesei genes involved in ethanol production. Further expression analysis identified a series of glycolysis enzymes, which are upregulated in the recombinant strain HJ48 under fermentation conditions. The differentially expressed genes were further validated by qPCR. The present study will be helpful for future studies on ethanol fermentation as well as the roles of the involved genes. This research reveals several major differences in metabolic pathways between recombinant strain HJ48 and wild-type CICC40360, which relates to the higher ethanol production on the former, and their further research could promote the development of techniques for increasing ethanol production.

The status of corn genetic diversity in the uplands of Sarangani in Southern Philippines was investigated using 12 morphological traits subjected to multivariate statistical analyses. Information about traditional farming, post-harvest and storage practices were also elicited especially in relation to losses of traditional varieties, a phenomenon known as genetic erosion. While a handful of farmers still plant traditional corn varieties in the remotest areas, a significant number had already shifted to genetically modified corn. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) reduced the 12 morphological traits into 5 principal components and identified ear length and ear weight to be major contributors to variation. Cluster Analysis, on the other hand, formed two distinct groups but failed to give information about intra-cluster variability among the 32 collected corn accessions. These results warrant that more informative morphological traits and that molecular markers will be used to obtain a better picture of genetic diversity in Sarangani upland corn. Molecular analysis is also needed to establish genetic identities of these cultivars and to detect gene introgression from GM varieties into the gene pool of farmers' corn varieties. These analyses are imperative for the conservation of traditional corn varieties before they disappear in the Sarangani uplands because of shifting priorities of upland farmers.

Several energy saving techniques in cellular wireless networks such as active base station (BS) selection, transmit power budget adaptation and user association have been studied independently or only part of these aspects have been considered together in literature. In this paper, we jointly tackle these three problems and propose an integrated framework, called dynamic cell reconfiguration (DCR). It manages three techniques operating on different time scales for ultimate energy conservation while guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) level of users. Extensive simulations under various configurations, including the real dataset of BS topology and utilization, demonstrate that the proposed DCR can achieve the performance close to an optimal exhaustive search. Compared to the conventional static scheme where all BSs are always turned on with their maximum transmit powers, DCR can significantly reduce energy consumption, e.g., more than 30% and 50% savings in uniform and non-uniform traffic distribution, respectively.

구리 현릉의 능상석조물은 주로 자철석계열의 흑운모화강암으로 구성되었으며 풍화도가 높다. 손상 특성으로는 미생물 및 토사 유입과 흑색오염물의 발생률이 높게 나타났다. 봉분 부재에 대한 손상도 평가 결과, 토사(50.5%)와 지의류(47.6%)의 피도가 주요 요인으로 나타났으며 북면에서 지의류 외의 생물생육(8.6%)이 두드러진다. 표면오염물은 광물산화와 부재간 이음부에서 석고가 생성되었고 주요 변색양상인 흑색은 유기물에 의한 것으로 해석되었다. 각 단위 부재별 초음파 측정 결과, 평균 2,195 m/s의 속도로 심한풍화(HW)가 진행된 상태이며 대부분 부재에서 4~5등급에 도시되었다. 따라서 현릉의 능상석물에 대한 보존처리가 필요한 상태로 판단된다. 훼손을 촉진하는 토사 및 높은 점유율을 보이는 지의류 등 생물오염 세척과 상당한 풍화가 진행된 부재에 대한 강화 및 접합 충전이 요구된다. 또한 Ca를 주성분으로 하는 보수물질과 백화에 대한 제거 및 재처리 여부에 대한 논의가 필요하다 .

본 연구는 국가지정 동산문화재에 대하여 국가가 직접 수행하는 정기조사를 중심으로 국가지정 지류문화재의 보존상태 및 보존환경을 파악하고 보존관리 방안을 모색하고자 수행하였다. 조사대상은 2014~2015년도에 문화재보존과학센터와 미술문화재연구실이 공동조사한 내용으로 제한하였다. 지류문화재는 재질상 온 습도, 빛 등 외부환경의 영향을 받기 쉽고 물리적 힘에 의해서도 쉽게 손상될 수 있으므로 안정적인 보존환경이 매우 중요하다. 그러므로 문화재보호법에 의해 시행되는 동산문화재 정기조사를 통하여 오염, 찢어짐, 꺾임, 마찰, 결손 등 보존처리가 시급한 문화재이다. 따라서 처리시기를 놓침으로써 돌이킬 수 없는 상황에 이르지 않도록 철저히 관리해야 하며 처리 후 관리상황에 대해서도 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하다. 이와 같이 정기조사를 통해 문제점이 노출된 국가지정 문화재들을 중심으로 안료, 재질, 구조분석 등 정밀조사 추진, 문화유산 보존관리 데이터 축적을 정기조사와 병행하여 별도 추진할 필요가 있음이 판단되었다. 이러한 국가지정 문화재의 상세한 데이터들은 향후 국가지정 지류문화재의 보다 합리적인 보존관리 체계 구축의 기반이 될 것이며, 정기조사 방법의 지속적인 개선 역시 가능하게 할 것이다.

청주 비중리 석조여래삼존상 및 석조여래입상은 6세기 고구려 불상의 양식을 갖춘 중요한 국가지정문화재(보물)이다. 이들 석불상의 보존현황 파악 및 보존계획 수립을 위해 보존과학적 조사를 수행하였다. 석조여래삼존상 및 석조여래입상의 구성암석은 세립 내지 중립의 전형적인 흑운모화강암으로, 0.2(×10^-3 SI unit) 미만의 낮은 대자율 분포, 구성광물에서 서로 유사한 특성을 보여 동일한 기원의 암석으로 판단된다. 석조여래삼존상은 인근 노두의 암석과 광물 조성 및 입도, 전암대자율, 지구화학적 특성이 매우 유사하였으므로 성인적 동질성이 높은 것으로 해석된다. 한편 비중리 석조불상에서는 물리적, 화학적, 생물학적 요인이 복합적으로 작용하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 특히 석조여래삼존상과 여래입상 모두 전면에서 탈락이, 후면에서 균열과 박리박락이 우세한 경향을 보였다. 야외에 위치한 석조여래입상에서는 입상분해와 흑색조류가 발달하여 열악한 보존환경과 함께 풍화를 가속화하고 있다. 초음파속도를 이용한 비파괴 물성진단 결과, 석조여래삼존상과 여래입상의 풍화등급은 완전 풍화된 상태(CW)로 나타나 매우 낮은 물성을 지시하였다.
