It is the "maturity rule" that concrete of the same mix, at the same maturity, has the same strength. In this study, the Nurse-Saul function which was proposed to account for the effects of temperature and time on strength development is used in computing maturity. After existing various functions to relate concrete strength to the maturity value are considered, new strenth-maturity function is proposed. Tests are conducted in order to compare prediction value with measured concrete strength. The constants in proposed prediction equation are determined by standard specimens(cylinders) test, and the equation is adopted to predict strength of slab. The slab was cast in the laboratory from the same batch of mole, and cores are cut from slab in order to estimate the actual strength. Tehese values are used to compare with proposed equation. equation.

The strength development of concrete is influenced by temperature and cement type which greatly affect hydration degree of cement. There is not pertinent concrete strength management methods for estimating the in-place strength of concrete. One such method is the maturity concept. The maturity concept is based on the fact that concrete gains strength with time as a result of the cement hydration and, thus the rate of hydration, as in any chemical reaction, depends primarily on the concrete temperature during hydration. Thus, the strength of concrete is function of its time-temperature history. This goals of the present study are to investigate a relationship between strength of high-fluidity concrete and maturity that is expressed as a function of an integral of the curing period and temperature, predict strength of concrete.

Objectives: The study aimed to analyze the factors affecting the maturity of dental biofilm, which was assessed with quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital(QLF-D), in a sample of Korean older adults. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 67 participants, aged 65 years and older. All participants completed a questionnaire and tests to measure their manual dexterity and handgrip strength, which are parameters that indicate hand function abilities. To evaluate dental biofilm maturity, 804 surfaces of six index teeth were imaged using QLF-D and then quantified as ${\Delta}R$ values. All data were collected from May 25, 2017 to April 30, 2018. The independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance, and step-wise multiple linear regression were performed to analyze the factors associated with the maturity of dental biofilm (${\Delta}R$). Results: The multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that the factor most strongly related to dental biofilm maturity(${\Delta}R$) was manual dexterity (${\beta}=-0.326$), followed by handgrip strength (${\beta}=-0.303$) and use of interdental cleaning devices (${\beta}=-0.283$) (p<0.05). Conclusions: Manual dexterity, handgrip strength, and use of interdental cleaning devices are factors that can predict dental biofilm maturity in adults aged 65 years or older. Therefore, the hand function of a patient should be evaluated first, before assessing the oral hygiene status of the patient or providing him/her with oral health education, and the dental hygienist should provide differentiated oral hygiene care depending on the patient's hand function ability. Finally, dental hygienists should help older adults to recognize the importance of auxiliary oral hygiene devices such as interdental brushes and keep motivating them to use the devices more frequently.

성숙도는 콘크리트의 양생 온도이력에서 구해지는 것으로 초기강도 예측을 위한 하나의 유용한 지표가 될 수 있다. 즉 성숙도 이론은 배합이 동일할 때 성숙도 값이 같으면 강도값은 같다는 이론이다. 본 연구에서는 성숙도 법칙의 이론적 전개과정을 살펴보고 그 값을 계산하기 위하여 가장 널리 알려진 Nurse-Saul함수를 검토하였다. 또한 성숙도 함수와 기준온도(datum temperature) 설정을 위한 일련의 포괄적인 실험연구를 수행하였다. 성숙도를 강도값에 연관시키기 위한 여러 가지 성숙도-강도함수를 비교해보고 그 장단점을 분석해 보았으며 이를 통하여 유용한 강도예측함수를 제안하였다. 성숙도 이론의 적용에 있어서 고려해야 할 변수들을 도출하기 위하여 양생조건과 시멘트의 종류, 그리고 물-시멘트비등을 달리 하였으며 이 경우에는 습도나 초기양생온도 등이 변수로 채택되었다. 마지막으로 제안된 함수의 타당성과 정확성을 검증하기 위하여 콘크리트 슬래브를 타설하고 시간단계별로 콘크리트 코아를 채취하여 예측된 강도값과 비교하여 보았다. 본 논문은 실제 콘크리트 구조물의 초기강도 예측을 위해 매우 유용할 것으로 사료되며 현장품질관리에 효율적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The exiting studies on the strength prediction by maturity method is mainly focused on concrete using OPC, meanwhile the study on the concrete mixing blast furnace slag powder (BFSP) is insufficient. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships between compressive strength and equivalent age by existing Maturity functions, i.e., Nurse-saul function Arrhenius function. This study also compared and examined the strength prediction of concrete mixing BGSP using ACI model and Logistic Curve prediction equation. Therefore, it is intended that fundamental data are presented for quality management and process management of concrete mixing BFSP.

The strength development of concrete is influenced by temperature and cement type which greatly affect hydration degree of cement. There is not pertinent concrete strength management method in korea. There are several methods for estimating the in-place strength of concrete. One such method is the maturity concept. The maturity concept is based on the fact that concrete gains strength gradually as a result of chemical reactions between cement and water; and for a specific concrete mixture, strength at any age and at normal conditions is related to the degree of hydration. The rate of hydration and, therefore, strength development of a given concrete will be a function of its temperature. Thus, strength of concrete depends on its time-temperature history. The goals of the present study are to investigate a relationship between strength of high-strength concrete and maturity that is expressed as a function of an integral of the curing period and temperature and predict strength of concrete.

The Fuji variety of apple, introduced in Japan, has excellent storage quality and good taste, such that it is the most commonly cultivated apple variety in Gunwi County, North Gyeongsang Province, Korean Peninsula. Accurate prediction of harvest maturity allows farmers to more efficiently manage their farm in important aspects such as working time, fruit storage, market shipment, and labor distribution. Temperature is one of the most important factors that determine plant growth, development, and yield. This paper reports on the beta distribution (function) model that can be used to simulate the the phenological response of plants to temperature. The beta function, commonly used as a skewed probability density in statistics, was introduced to estimate apple harvest maturity as a function of temperature in this study. The model parameters were daily maximum temperature, daily optimum temperature, and maximum growth rate. They were estimated from the input data of daily maximum and minimum temperature and apple harvest maturity. The difference in observed and predicted maturity day from 2009 to 2012, with optimal parameters, was from two days earlier to one day later.

콘크리트의 강도발현을 양생온도와 재령의 함수로 나타내는 적산온도 방법은 시멘트 콘크리트의 강도추정에 폭넓게 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 열경화성인 불포화 폴리에스터 수지를 결합재로 한 경량 폴리머 모르터를 대상으로 하여 적산온도법에 의한 초기강도 추정방법을 구명하였다. 폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 가사시간 및 강도발현성에 영향을 미치는 촉매 및 촉진제 첨가량을 변화시켜 실험하였으며, 또한 적산온도 이론식에 사용되는 기준온도를 산출하였다. 적산온도는 추정된 기준온도를 적용시킨 적산온도 이론식에의해 산출하였으며 경량폴리머 모르터의 압축강도는 적산온도-압축강도의 관계로부터 추정할 수 있었다. 이 연구에서 얻어진 적산온도법에 의한 경량 폴리머 모르터의 강도추정식은 열경화성 수지를 이용한 각종 폴리머 모르터나 콘크리트에도 적용가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aims to figure out the characteristics of corporate life cycle and resource input in terms of the sustainability diagnosis of pharmaceutical companies in Korea. Research design, data, and methodology: Using the Gompertz model under the assumption that companies have finite resources, this study tries quantitative interpretation of life cycle and resource input pattern for longevity companies with 25 years of experience among 158 pharmaceutical companies listed on Korean stock market based on maturity of revenue. Results: The study found revenue maturity through Gompertz model was statistically correlated with enterprise value. According to the life cycle analysis, more than 95% of 59 pharmaceutical companies were in the growth and maturity phase and have an average life cycle of 88 years and an average remaining life of 52 years. Regarding maturity profile of resource input, maturity of employees was generally high more than 60% and this meant there was jobless growth in Korean pharmaceutical industry. Conclusion: This study demonstrated there is a high statistical correlation between the maturity of a company's resource input and its revenue and enterprise value. It is believed that these results could be utilized as a basis for high fidelity function that predict revenue and enterprise value based on resource input information.
