In the present study the behavior of fire and the residual strength of fire-ignited RC slabs are investigated by experimental tests and numerical simulations. The fire tests of RC slabs were carried out in a furnace using the ISO 834 standard fire. The load capacity of the cooled RC slabs that were not loaded during the fire tests was evaluated by additional 3 point bending tests. The influence of the proportion of PP (polypropylene) fibers in the RC slabs on the structural behavior of the RC slabs after the fire loading was investigated. The results of the fire tests showed that the maximum temperature of concrete with PP fiber was lower than that of concrete without PP fiber. As the concrete was heated, the ultimate compressive strength decreased and the ultimate strain increased. The load-deflection relations of RC slabs after fire loading were compared by using existing stress-strain-temperature models. The comparison between the numerical analysis and the experimental tests showed that some numerical analyses were reliable and therefore, can be applied to evaluate the ultimate load of RC slabs after fire loading. The ultimate load capacity after cooling down the RC slabs without PP fiber showed a considerable reduction from that of the RC slabs with PP fiber.

For more than 10 years, the laser process has been studied for dismantling work; however, relatively few research works have addressed the effect of high-power fiber laser cutting for thick sections. Since in the nuclear sector, a significant quantity of thick material is required to be cut, this study aims to improve the reliability of laser cutting for such work and indicates guidelines to optimize the cutting procedure, in particular, nozzle combinations (standoff distance and focus position), to minimize waste material. The results obtained show the performance levels that can be reached with 10 kW fiber lasers, using which it is possible to obtain narrower kerfs than those found in published results obtained with other lasers. Nonetheless, fiber lasers appear to show the same effects as those of $CO_2$ and ND:YAG lasers. Thus, the main factor that affects the kerf width is the focal position, which means that minimum laser spot diameters are advised for smaller kerf widths.

An erbium doped fiber amplifier(EDFA) pumped by aingle 1.48$\mu$m LD was fabricated, and its gain and noise characteristics were measured. As a signal source, 1548 nm wavelength DFB LD was used. The small signal net gain of the EDFA module was 21.8 dB with maximum gain coefficient 0.7dB/mW for the erbium fiber length of 17.6 m, the pump power of 58 mW, and an input signal power of -25 dBm, respectively. The saturation power of the EDFA was 1 dBm for the input signal power of -5 dBm and the noise figure, measured by using an optical spectrum analyzer, was 5.8 dB for the input signal power of -40 dBm.

The squeeze casting process is considered as an attractive way to form the primary product of near net shape metal matrix composites for wide use in automobile industry. To understand for infiltration limit in squeeze casting processes, the SAFFIL short fiber preform of volume fraction $10%{\sim}23%$ were fabricated by vaccum pumping and speed control press, and the optimal condition for fiber preform fabrication had been experimentally obtained. The composite materials were fabricated by forced infiltration of molten metals such as Al6061, Al7075, pure Al, AC8A, and Al2024. The infiltration distance and deformation of fiber preform are observed, and tensile strength were measured from at the room temperature.

$Holstein\;{\times}\;indigenous$ multiparous dairy cows were offered diets with increasing roughage neutral detergent fiber (NDF) contents to determine the effects on intake, milk yield and compositions. Roughage NDF contents were 15, 18, 21 and 24% dry matter (DM), and concentrate NDF content was 10% DM. Experimental treatments were isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets. Maximum and minimum temperature humidity index during the experimental period were 85.9 and 76, respectively. Intakes of DM, crude protein and net energy, 4% fat corrected milk, milk protein and average daily gain decreased with increasing roughage NDF contents (p<0.05). Intakes of ether extract (p<0.01) and dietary NDF (p>0.05) and milk fat (p<0.01) increased with increasing roughage NDF contents. The results support the conclusion that higher DM intake, optimal milk yield and compositions can be maintained with lower roughage NDF diets for dairy cows under tropical conditions.

2.7vol%TiNi/6061 Al composites with TiNi shape memory alloy as reinforcement were fabricated by vacuum hot press. It was investigated by OM, SEM, EPMA and XRD analysis for the behavior of diffusion layer formation on various heat treatment condition. Thickness of diffusion layer was increased proportionally according to heat treatment time. The layer was formed by the mutual diffusion of TiNi and Al. The diffusion rate from TiNi fiber to Al matrix was faster than that of reverse diffusion path. The more diffused layer was formed in Al matrix. The diffusion at interface layer was consisted of $A1_3$Ti, $Al_3$Ni analyzed by EPMA, XRD results.

그룹 속도 분산 (GVD; group velocity dispersion)과 비선형 효과의 상호 작용에 의해 왜곡되는 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexing) 신호를 보상하기 위해 광 위상 공액기 (OPC; optical phase conjugator)와 분사 제어 (DM; dispersion management)가 적용된 광전송 링크에서의 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)의 최적치와 유효 입사 전력 범위를 도출하였다. 실제 광전송 시스템의 융통적 설계를 위해 한 쪽 반 전송 구획에서의 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber) 중계 구간(span) 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)이 랜덤하게 분포하는 광전송 링크를 고려하였다. precompensation으로 전체 분산을 조절하는 링크의 최적 NRD는 10 ps/nm이고 이 경우 유효 입사 전력 범위는 -8~1 dBm인 것을 확인하였다. 또한 postcompensation으로 전체 분산을 조절하는 링크의 최적 NRD는 -10 ps/nm이고, 유효 입사 전력 범위는 -7.5~1 dBm인 것을 확인하였다.

단일 모드 광섬유의 그룹 속도 분산과 자기 위상 변조에 의해 왜곡된 파장 분할 다중 신호의 효율적인 보상을 위한 새로운 광전송 링크 기술을 제안하였다. 제안된 전송 링크는 WDM 송신이나 수신단 근처에 광 위상 공액기(OPC; optical phase conjugator)가 위치하고 각 중계 구간의 SMF 길이와 RDPS(residual dispersion per span)가 인위적으로 분포하는 구조이다. 시스템 성능을 개선하여 유효 입사 전력 범위와 유효 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)을 늘릴 수 있는 최적의 링크 구조는 OPC가 WDM 수신단에 가깝게 위치하고 후치 보상(postcompensation)에 의해 NRD를 결정하고 중계 구간이 증가할수록 SMF 길이와 RDPS를 점진적으로 감소시키는 링크라는 것을 확인하였다.

광 위상 공액기 (OPC; optical phase conjugator)가 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)로 이루어진 전체 전송 거리 1000 km의 50 km 간격으로 250 km부터 750 km까지 존재하는 광전송 랭크에 inline 분산제어 (DM; dispersion management)를 통해 $24{\times}40$ Gbps WDM 채널의 신호 왜곡을 보상하기 위한 최적의 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)을 OPC 위치별로 도출하였고, 최적 NRD가 적용된 경우의 WDM 채널의 성능 개선 정도를 NRD = 0 ps/nm로 고정된 전송 링크에서의 수신 성능과 비교하였다. 최적 NRD는 OPC가 전체 전송 거리의 중간인 500km로부터 이동된 정도에 따라 결정되어야 하고, 최적 NRD의 결정과 적용에 있어 OPC가 500km로부터 수신부쪽으로 이동되는 경우보다 송신부쪽으로 이동되는 경우가 더욱 안정적이고 효과적임을 확인하였다. 또한 0 ps/nm로 NRD가 고정된 전송 랭크에 비해 최적 NRD로 셜계된 전 송 랭크에서의 WDM 채널의 눈 열림 패널티 (EOP; eye opening penalty)가 OPC 위치에 따라 1.5 dB부터 3dB까지 개선되는 것을 확인하였다.

Objective: The objective of this experiment was to determine the net energy (NE) value of 6 wheat bran and 1 wheat shorts by indirect calorimetry and establish the NE prediction equations of wheat bran fed to growing barrows. Methods: Forty-eight growing barrows (28.5±2.4 kg body weight) were allotted in a completely randomized design to 8 dietary treatments that included a corn-soybean meal basal diet, 6 wheat bran diets and 1 wheat shorts diet. The inclusion level of wheat bran or wheat shorts in diets is 30%. Results: The addition of wheat bran reduced the apparent total tract digestibility (ATTD) of nutrients (p<0.05). The ATTD of gross energy, crude protein (CP) and dry matter (DM) in the wheat shorts were greater than that in the wheat bran. Addition of wheat bran or wheat shorts had no effect on total heat production and fasting heat production. The NE of wheat bran was negatively correlated with neutral detergent fiber (r = -0.84; p<0.05) and acid detergent fiber (r = -0.83; p<0.05), while it was positively correlated with CP (r = 0.92; p<0.01). The NE values of wheat bran ranged from 6.79 to 8.15 MJ/kg DM, and the NE value of wheat shorts was 12.47 MJ/kg DM. The ratio of NE to metabolizable energy for wheat bran fed to growing pigs was from 66.0% to 71.7%, whereas the value for wheat shorts was 83.7%. Conclusion: The NE values of wheat bran ranged from 6.79 to 8.15 MJ/kg DM, and the NE value of wheat shorts was 12.47 MJ/kg DM. The NE value of wheat bran can be well predicted based on energy content and proximate analysis.
