  • In this study, fatigue properties and crack growth characteristics of a polycarbonate (PC) were examined during cyclic loading at various mean stress (${\sigma}_{amp}$) and stress amplitude (${\sigma}_{mean}$) conditions. Different S vs. N and da/dN vs. ${\Delta}K$ relations were obtained depending on the loading condition. The higher fatigue strength and the higher resistance of crack growth are seen for the PC samples cyclically loaded at the higher mean stress and lower stress amplitude due to the low crack driving force. Non-linear S - N relationship was detected in the examination of the fatigue properties with changing the mean stress. This is attributed to the different crack growth rate (longer fatigue life): the sample loaded at the high mean stress with lower stress amplitude. Even if the higher stress amplitude, the low fatigue properties are obtained for the sample loaded at the higher mean stress. This was due to the accumulated strain energy to the sample, where severe plastic deformation occurs instead of crack growth (plasticity-induced crack closure). Shear bands and discontinuous crack growth band (DGB) are observed clearly on the fracture surfaces of the sample cyclically loaded at the high stress amplitude, where the lower the ${\sigma}_{mean}$, the narrower the shear band and DGB. On the other hand, final fracture occurred instantly immediately after the short crack growth occurs in the PC sample loaded at the high mean with the low ${\sigma}_{amp}$, i.e., tear fracture, in which the shear bands and DGB are not seen clearly.

  • We performed systematic observations of the H $\small{I}$ $Br{\alpha}$ line ($4.05{\mu}m$) in 51 nearby (z<0.3) ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs), using AKARI near-infrared spectroscopy. The $Br{\alpha}$ line is predicted to be the brightest among the H ${\small{I}}$ recombination lines in ULIRGs with visual extinction higher than 15 mag. We detected the $Br{\alpha}$ line in 33 ULIRGs. In these galaxies, the relative contribution of starburst to the total infrared luminosity ($L_{IR}$) is estimated on the basis of the ratio of the $Br{\alpha}$ line luminosity ($L_{Br{\alpha}}$) to $L_{IR}$. The mean $L_{Br{\alpha}}/L_{IR}$ ratio in LINERs or Seyferts is significantly lower (~50%) than that in H $\small{II}$ galaxies. This result indicates that active galactic nuclei contribute significantly (~50%) to $L_{IR}$ in LINERs, as well as Seyferts. We also estimate the absolute contribution of starburst to $L_{IR}$ using the ratio of star formation rates (SFRs) derived from $L_{Br{\alpha}}$ ($SFR_{Br{\alpha}}$) and those needed to explain $L_{IR}$ ($SFR_{IR}$). The mean $SFR_{Br{\alpha}}/SFR_{IR}$ ratio is only 0.33 even in H $\small{II}$ galaxies, where starburst is supposed to dominate the luminosity. We attribute this apparently low $SFR_{Br{\alpha}}/SFR_{IR}$ ratio to the absorption of ionizing photons by dust within H $\small{II}$ regions.

  • Objectives: Among the many intervention programs for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is one of the few approaches that has succeeded in demonstrating clinical efficacy in randomized control trials. Here, we investigate the clinical efficacy of ESDM intervention in young children with ASD in a community setting within Japan. Methods: All subjects were children with ASD who received ESDM intervention during the study period. Each ESDM session lasted 75 min and occurred once per week for at least 12 weeks. The outcome measures consisted of the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development (K-test), Aberrant Behavior Checklist-Japanese version (ABC-J), and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale (CGI-S). Results: Twenty-seven subjects (29.4±6.4 months old) received ESDM intervention that lasted for 8.0±2.6 months on average. The score on Language and Social developmental quotient on the K-test increased significantly after the intervention. The total scores on the ABC-J and CGI-S significantly decreased after completion of the ESDM intervention. Conclusion: Our results suggest that ESDM intervention could reduce the severity of distinct clinical features of ASD, such as impairments in social interaction and communication assessed by the K-test, and maladaptive behavior rated by the ABC-J and CGI-S. We believe that the ESDM adapted to each institution might become one of the standard options for children with ASD in Japan.

  • 연약지반의 특성에 부합하는 이론을 이용하여 침하량을 합리적으로 예측하는 것은 건설방재적 관점에서도 대단히 중요하다. 특히, 준설매립지반과 같은 초연약지반의 압밀거동 모사를 위해서는 비선형 유한변형 압밀이론을 적용할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 인천 송도지역 준설토의 침강 및 압밀특성을 파악하기 위하여 침강압밀시험, 자중압밀시험 및 CRS 압밀시험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 PSDDF를 이용한 수치해석의 입력치로 사용하여 준설매립지반의 거동을 해석하였다. 본 지역의 준설토는 통일 분류법에 의해 저압축성 실트(ML)로 분류되었으며, Yano법 및 수치해석을 통하여 얻어진 최종 체적변화비는 각각 1.56, 1.17로 나타났다. 이러한 결과의 차이는 계면고가 상대적으로 높고 투수성이 큰 해당 구간 준설매립토의 토질 특성에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.

  • This study aimed at determining the current knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of layer and pig farmers to antimicrobial usage and its consequences. Description of such KAP could provide insights useful for promoting the rational use of antimicrobials in livestock. From May 2014 to February 2016, a survey involving 251 respondents in Chiang Mai, Lamphun, and Chonburi provinces, Thailand, was conducted by using a validated questionnaire. More than half (51.0%) of the respondents incorrectly believed that antimicrobial drug efficacy could not be reduced by using sub-recommended dosages, 61.2% had misconceptions about non-therapeutic antimicrobial use, and 66.9% inaccurately felt that antimicrobials were also effective for virus and fungi. Over half (50.6-55.2%) did not see the need to follow instructions or advice of veterinarians. Moreover, only 10.4% regularly relied on responses to drugs sensitivity tests when evaluating the effectiveness of antimicrobials. Overall, assessment of KAP regarding antimicrobial usage indicated that the majority of respondents had low levels of knowledge of antimicrobials, neutral rather than positive attitudes, and employed poor practices in the use of antimicrobials. The results indicate improvements in KAP could be helpful in developing more effective interventions by farmers, reduce antibiotic usage, and slow the growth of antimicrobial resistance.

  • Large amounts of orange juice are produced in Japan every yea.. Accompanied by the production of orange juice, large amount of juice residues are also generated in nearly the same amounts with juice. Although, at present, some of these residues are marketed as a feed for cattle after drying and mixing with lime, the marketing price is lower than its production cost and the difference is paid by the consumers as a part of the price of orange juice. In the present work, we developed new innovative use of orange juice residue, a biomass waste, as adsorption gel for removing toxic heavy metals such as lead. arsenic, selenium and so on as well as radioactive elements such as uranium and thorium from environments. The major components of orange juice residue are cellulose. hemicellulose and pectin, which are converted into pectic. acid, an acidic polysaccharide, by means of saponification with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. In the previous work, we found that crosslinked pectic acid gel strongly an selectively adsorbs lead over other metals such as zinc an copper. On the other hand. it is well known that polysaccharides such as cellulose can be easily phosphorylated and that phosphorylated polysaccharides have high affinity to uranium and thorium as well as some trivalent metals such as ferric iron and aluminum. Taking account of the noticeable characteristics of these polysaccharides, 2 types of adsorption gels were prepared from orange juice residue: one is the gel which was prepared by saponificating the residue followed by crosslinking with epichlorohydrin and another is that prepared by crosslinking the residue followed by phosphorylation. The former gel exhibited excellent adsorptive separation behavior for lead away from zinc owing to high content of pectic acid while the latter gel exhibited that for uranium and thorium. Both types of adsorption gels exhibited high affinity to ferric iron, which enables selective and strong adsorption for some toxic oxo-anions of arsenic (V and III), . selenium and so on via iron loaded on these gels. These results demonstrate that biomass wastes such as orange juice residue can be effectively utilized fer the purpose of removing toxic heavy or radioactive metals existing in trace or small amounts in environments.

  • 미세플라스틱 관련 대부분의 연구에서는 미세플라스틱(MP)을 5mm 미만의 플라스틱 입자로 정의하고 있다. 미세플라스틱은 자연계에 광범위하게 분포함으로써 인간과 환경에 잠재적 위험성이 높아지고 있는 물질이다. 특히 미세플라스틱은 인간을 포함하여 살아있는 생명체에게 물리적 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라 신진대사와 호르몬 등과 같은 생태적 기능에 심각한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 환경에서 미세플라스틱의 근원, 경로 및 영향에 대한 이해를 돕기 위해 수행되었다. 미세플라스틱은 본질적으로 1 차 및 2 차 미세플라스틱으로 분류되며, 물리적 및 화학적 특성에 따라 분류되기도 한다. 미세플라스틱의 주요 경로는 강우유출수와 폐수를 통한 배출이며, 하천과 하구역을 거쳐 해양과 같은 대규모 수역으로 이동한다. 미세플라스틱은 폐수 처리 과정에서 크게 제거되기 때문에 폐수처리장 유출수의 미세플라스틱 농도는 강우유출수 내 농도보다 상대적으로 낮게 나타난다. 그러나 폴리머의 분포 측면에서는 폐수가 강우유출수보다 다양한 폴리머 종류를 포함하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 폐수와 강우유출수에서 발견되는 일반적인 폴리머 유형은 폴리프로필렌(PP), 폴리염화비닐(PVC), 폴리스티렌(PS), 폴리에틸렌(PE) 및 폴리에틸렌테레프탈레이트(PET) 등으로 나타났다. 환경에서 지속적으로 배출이 증가하고 있는 미세플라스틱의 수는 인간과 다른 생명체에게 미래 위험을 줄 수 있다. 그 동안 미세플라스틱에 대한 연구 결과물의 수가 증가함에도 불구하고 환경에 미치는 영향을 완화하기 위한 구체적 규제 및 관리 전략을 수립하기에는 많은 추가 연구가 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

  • 최근 강우유출수를 비용효율적으로 관리하기 위해 저영향개발 (Low Impact Development, LID)과 자연기반해법(Nature-based solution, NBS)를 도입하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 LID 시설 중 도심지 내 적용가능하고 유입부에 침강지가 조성된 침투도랑(IT)과 소규모 인공습지(SCW) 등 2개의 시설에 대해 효율성을 평가하였다. 효율성 평가는 장기간의 모니터링을 통한 자료를 이용하여 수행하였다. 분석결과 하절기 기간은 식생의 흡입 등의 생물학적 활동으로 인하여 SCW의 효율이 더 높았으나, 동절기 기간에는 식물의 고사로 인하여 IT의 효율이 더 높은것으로 분석되었다. 침강지 내 퇴적물의 분석결과 SCW 침강지 내 식생에 의한 정화작용 및 미생물등의 생물학적 처리기작으로 인하여 COD와 TN의 저감효율이 높은것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구에서는 침강지 시설을 조성한 LID 시설에 대해 비교하였으며, 자연과 유사한 자연기반해법을 LID 시설에 적용할 경우 기존 시설보다 처리효율이 우수한것으로 나타났다.

  • 최근 강우시 수계로 유출되는 비점오염물질로 인한 수질오염의 문제를 해결하고자 저영향개발(Low Impact development, LID)을 적용하고 있다. LID 시설 중 침투도랑 (Infiltration trench, IT) 과 침투화분 (Infiltration Planter, IP) 은 높은 침투율 및 침강지를 통한 오염물질 제거와 식생을 통한 영양염류 저감효율이 높다. 따라서 본 과제에서는 장기간 모니터링을 통한 침투도랑(IT)과 침투화분(IP)의 영양염류 오염물질 제거효율에 대해 분석하였다. 침투도랑(IT)과 침투화분(IP) 두 시설 모두 TSS 약 84%, TP 약 76%이상으로 제거효율이 높은것으로 나타났는데 이는 인의 화합물과 퇴적물간의 이온교환으로 인한 것으로 나타났다. 질소의 경우 침투화분시설(IP)의 제거효율이 침투도랑(IT)에 비해 약 28% 높은것으로 분석되었다. 이는 침투도랑(IT) 내 여재와 침강지에서의 침전을 통한 입자성 질소를 제거하는데 효과적이었으며, 암모늄질소(NH4-N)와 아질산염 질소(NO2-N)의 감소 및 질소(NO3-N)의 증가는 질산화 및 탈질산화로 인한것으로 나타났다. 침투도랑(IT 모니터링 이벤트 중 강우강도가 11mm/hr로 강한 강우사상에서의 TN 및 TP의 저감효율은 각 34% 및 55%로 저감효율이 낮았으나, 5mm이하의 강우강도에서의 저감효율은 약 100%로 높은것으로 분석됬다. 반면 침투화분시설(IP)은 최대 강우강도 27mm/hr에서도 TN 및 TP의 저감효율은 97%이상으로 높은것으로 나타났다. 두 시설 모두 영양염류의 제거효율은 좋은것으로 나타났으나, 시설용량 및 HRT가 높고 시설 내 식생이 적용된 침투화분시설(IP)이 영양염류 제거효율이 더 높은것으로 분석되었다.
