In a $2{\times}2$ factorial experiment the hypotheses tested were that the metabolic acid load caused by benzoic acid (BA) added to the feed affects bone mineralization of weanling pigs, and that a wide dietary calcium (Ca) to phosphorus (P) ratio in phytase-supplemented feeds with a marginal P concentration has a positive effect on bone mineralization. The four experimental diets, which contained 0.4% P and were supplemented with 1,000 FTU phytase/kg, contained either 5 g BA/kg or no BA and either 0.77% Ca or 0.57% Ca. The 68 four-week-old Large White pigs were fed the experimental diets ad libitum for six weeks and were then slaughtered. Benzoic acid increased feed intake (p = 0.009) and growth rate (p = 0.051), but did not influence the feed conversion ratio (p>0.10). Benzoic acid decreased the pH of the urine (p = 0.031), but did not affect breaking strength and mineralization of the tibia (p>0.10). The wide Ca:P ratio decreased feed intake (p = 0.034) and growth rate (p = 0.007) and impaired feed the conversion ratio (p = 0.027), but increased the mineral concentration in the fat-free DM of the tibia (p = 0.013) without influencing its breaking strength (p>0.10). The observed positive effect of the wide Ca:P ratio on bone mineralization may be attributed, at least in part, to the impaired feed conversion ratio, i.e. to the higher feed intake and consequently to the higher mineral intake per kg BW gain. The negative impact on animal performance of the wide dietary Ca:P ratio outweighs its potentially positive effect on bone mineralization, precluding its implementation under practical feeding conditions.

연약지반을 매립한 지반에 굴착을 시행할 경우 흙막이 벽체를 설치하더라도 굴착에 따른 굴착배면 지반의 지하수 유출로 배면지반에 지반파괴가 발생한다. 이를 최소화하기 위해 지반파괴 저감 대책으로 억지말뚝을 적용한 실내모형 실험을 시행하여 무보강일 경우와 억지말뚝 보강시를 비교하여 침하량이 약 3배 정도 차이가 발생하는 보강효과를 확인하였다(Kim, 2014). 금번 연구에서는 이런 억지말뚝의 보강효과 확인에 따른 적정한 억지말뚝 간격비의 평가를 시행하였다. 말뚝 간격비를 0.66(억지말뚝 5개)과 0.76(억지말뚝 3개)로 구분하여 실험한 결과 억지말뚝 적용이 굴착시 지반파괴 저감에 대하여 효과는 있으나 일정간격 이상 좁은 경우 오히려 하중으로 작용할 수 있어 설계시 적절한 간격비의 조정이 필요함을 알 수 있었으며, 본 연구에서는 지반파괴의 저감효과가 있으면서 굴착배면의 하중으로도 작용하지 않는 적정 간격비는 0.7~0.8 정도가 적합하다고 판단되었다.

In this study, it was tried to analyze the effects of welding parameters on the weld penetration and aspect ratio when a STS316L pipe was welded in a horizontal position by GTAW. Experiments were systematically designed using a L18 orthogonal array, and the effects of welding parameters were statistically analyzed by ANOVA(Analysis of Variance). The shielding gas type has the largest effect on both the penetration and aspect ratio. The welding current type and shielding gas flow rate have a little effect on the penetration, whereas the electrode tip angle has a little effect on the aspect ratio. When welded at a selected welding condition, which is composed of He shielding gas, pulse current of 300/45 A, electrode tip angle of 90o, and shielding gas flow rate of 30 l/min, the estimated interval at least 95 % confidence was $1.99{\pm}0.18mm$ for the penetration and $0.31{\pm}0.04$ for the aspect ratio. From the confirmation experiments, the average penetration and aspect ratio were well agreed with the estimation as 1.96 mm and 0.30, respectively. Additionally, the effects of the welding speed and welding current on the penetration and aspect ratio were experimented and analyzed by linear regression. The penetration was linearly increased with the decrease of the welding speed and with the increase of the welding current, but the aspect ratio showed a tendency to a little decrease with the increase of both the welding speed and current.

This study describes the effect of the critical pressure ratio of a control valve on the performance of an air spring system composed of an air spring, auxiliary chamber, control valve and mass in order to suggest a more efficient design for an air spring system. The critical pressure ratio of the control valve is assumed to have a fixed value, but the critical pressure ratio of the control valve is known to have various values between 0.05 and 0.6, and the effect of the variation of the critical pressure ratio on the performance of the air spring system has not yet been reported. The analysis derives nonlinear and linear governing equations of the air spring system, including the critical pressure ratio of the control valve. This simulation study is presented to show that the impedance and transmissibility characteristics of the air spring system change due to variations in the critical pressure ratio of the control valve as well as its sonic conductance. As a result, the critical pressure ratio of the control valve should be maintained as large as possible to improve the vibration isolation characteristics of the air spring system.

본 연구에서는 남자 고등부 태권도 선수들을 대상으로 하여 등장성운동과 등척성 등장성운동을 혼합하여 복합 훈련을 실시한 차이를 알아보기 위하여 등속성 근 기능 중 최대우력, 동측근력비율, 양측근력비율, 근지구력을 분석한 결과를 다음과 같은 결론으로 나타내었다. 첫째, 최대우력은 좌우측 신굴근 모두에서 등장성 운동집단에 비하여 복합 훈련집단이 유의하게 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 동측근력비율, 근지구력은 두 집단 간에 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 운동전후에 차이에 있어서는 두 집단 모두 유의하게 증가하였다. 셋째, 양측근력비율은 두 집단 간에 유의한 차이는 나타나지 않았지만, 운동전후에 차이에 있어서는 두 집단 모두 유의하게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과로서 태권도 선수들의 경기력 증가를 위한 주요 체력요소인 평형능력, 근 지구력의 향상을 위한 방법으로 등장성 운동과 복합훈련 중 어떠한 방법으로 실시하여도 근 기능을 향상 시킬 수 있는 운동법으로 생각된다. 그러나 등척성 운동과 등장성 운동을 복합적으로 실시하였을 경우 최대우력이 등장성운동을 실시한 집단에 비하여 유의하게 증가하는 현상으로 보면 태권도 발차기의 파워를 보다 증가시키기 위해서는 등장성 운동과 등척성을 복합적으로 실시하는 운동방법이 보다 효과적인 방법으로 생각된다.

The stress dependence of ultrasonic wave velocity is known as the acoustoelastic effect. This effect is useful for stress monitoring if the acoustoelastic coefficient of a subject medium is known. The acoustoelastic coefficients of metallic materials such as steel have been studied widely. However, the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete has not been well understood yet. Basic constituents of concrete are water, cement, and aggregates. The mix proportion of those constituents greatly affects many mechanical and physical properties of concrete and so does the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete. In this study, influence of the water-cement ratio (w/c ratio) and the fine-coarse aggregates ratio (fa/ta ratio) on the acoustoelastic coefficient of concrete was investigated. The w/c and the fa/ta ratios are important parameters in mix design and affect wave behaviors in concrete. Load-controlled uni-axial compression tests were performed on concrete specimens. Ultrasonic wave measurements were also performed during the compression tests. The stretching coda wave interferometry method was used to obtain the relative velocity change of ultrasonic waves with respect to the stress level of the specimens. From the experimental results, it was found that the w/c ratio greatly affects the acoustoelastic coefficient while the fa/ta ratio does not. The acoustoelastic coefficient increased from $0.003073MPa^{-1}$ to $0.005553MPa^{-1}$ when the w/c ratio was increased from 0.4 to 0.5. On the other hand, the acoustoelastic coefficient changed in small from $0.003606MPa^{-1}$ to $0.003801MPa^{-1}$ when the fa/ta ratio was increased from 0.3 to 0.5. Finally, it was also found that the relative velocity change has a linear relationship with the stress level of concrete.

The magneto impedance (MI) behaviors of patterned $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwire were investigated with respect to its shape variation. After preparing $Co_{30}Fe_{34}Ni_{36}$ microwires using electrodeposition and photolithography methods, impedance measurements were conducted to compare the MI ratios of the devices with different aspect ratios. As a result, the anisotropy field and transverse permeability were found to be strongly affected by the aspect ratio of the device. The external field value at the maximum impedance and maximum sensitivity of the device was found to increase with increasing device width, which was attributed to the increased transverse anisotropy with decreasing aspect ratio. While an increase in the thickness also contributed to an increase in the MI ratio, a variation in the thickness not only increased the anisotropic field, but the variation in the MI ratio was as also affected by the skin effect. Conversely, the MI ratios of the present devices were hardly affected by variations in the length. Considering the typical aspect ratios of our devices, it was expected that the length effect would emerge when the aspect ratio was reduced to less than 10. Nevertheless, our results show that for the practical application of MI devices, the MI characteristics can be optimized by tailoring the aspect ratio of the devices.

Objectives: To find out the effects GGT1, an antiobestic drug widely used clinics, has on the amount of feed intake, the amount of change in the body weight and the food efficiency ratio using the data from the hGHTg obese male rats. Also, to evaluate in terms of antiobestic effects, the difference between GGT1 and reductil (sibutramine), which has been approved by the FDA of the United States. Methods: We measured the change in body weight and the amount of feed intake for 8 weeks by categorizing the hGHTg obese male rats into three groups: the control group, the GGT1 group, and the reductil (RD) group. We also evaluated the antiobestic effect by calculating the food efficiency ratio, which is the increase of bodyweight divided by the amount of feed intake. Results: In case of body weight, moderate slope of the curve in the graph of GGT1 group could mean that the weight is decreasing as time flows. In case of food efficiency ratio, the p-value was 0.745 in a test for determining if an interaction exists between the group and the point of measurement, meaning that it does not exist; also, the p-value in a test for the effect of level of repetition in food efficiency ratio according to the point of measurement equaled 0.002. Conclusion: The drug-treated groups had a greater inhibitory effect in feed intake than the control group. The results showed the food efficiency ratio had a tendency to decrease. The GGT1 group in particular was under a greater effect than the RD group.

콘크리트 부재는 직접 인장력에 저항하도록 설계되지는 않는 것이 일반적이나, 부재의 균열강도 등을 산정하기 위해서는 반드시 확인하여야 하는 재료 특성 중의 하나이다. 콘크리트의 인장강도 시험방법은 주로 직접인장, 휨인장, 쪼갬인장의 3가지로 구분하고 있으나, 이 중 직접인장시험법은 시험체에 순수인장력을 가력할 수 있는 실험방법상의 문제로 거의 수행되지 못하여 온 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는 직접인장시험방법의 검토 및 시험체의 세장비, 크기 등이 직접인장강도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 단부 보강편을 이용한 직접인장강도의 실험은 RILEM 및 U.S.Bureau of Reclamation의 규정을 사용하였으며, 총 4가지 종류의 세장비와 2가지 크기의 시험체에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험의 결과는 동일변수의 쪼갬인장강도 및 휨인장강도와 비교$.$분석을 실시하였으며, 이를 신뢰성있는 선행 연구자들의 연구결과와 비교하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.
