The objective of this study is theoretical and empirical evaluation of the flexural performance of concrete filled pretensioned spun high strength concrete pile with ring type composite shear connectors (CFP pile). The specimens are comprised of standard CFP pile, PHC pile+composite shear connector+filed concrete (CFP-N-N), standard CFP pile with $1^{st}$ reinforcements (H13-8ea), and standard CFP pile with $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ reinforcements(H19-8ea). Flexural performance evaluation results showed that the ductility is improved with increased steel ratio, which leads to the increased maximum load by 46.4% (with $1^{st}$ reinforcement) and 103.9% (with $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ reinforcements) compared to standard CFP ( CFP-N-N). Comparing with the predicted ultimate limit state values of the CFP pile design method and the experimental results, the design method presented in this study is reasonable since safety factor of 1.23 and 1.40 times for each reinforcement step are secured.

This study was performed to investigate THMs formation by chloramination as a secondary disinfection in drinking water distribution system. As the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio increased from 1:1 to 4:1, the THMs concentration had actually no change in the breakpoint curve of pH 6, 7. At pH 8, THMs level was not augmented at between 1:1 and 5:1. In the $Cl_2/NH_3-N$ ratio of more than 5:1 and 6:1 respectively, THMs level was raised. Only the chloroform of THMs was insignificantly detected by both preformed chloramine and preammoniation applications, which was probably attributed to the stoichiometrically unstable equilibrium in the preparation of chloramine, whereas $CHCl_3$, $CHCl_2Br$ and $CHClBr_2$ of THMs were found in the application of free chlorine. However it turned out that the THMs levels by chloramine was incomparably inferior to that of free chlorine.

The four-layered(metal/insulator/n epi-layer/p+) controlled inversion devices have been fabricated. The I-V curve showed two characteristic states―an On state and an OFF state which were separated by a negative resistance region. The switching voltage and the holding voltage were about 5.0V and 2.5V, respectively. The switching voltage of the device was decreased by photo illumination while the holding voltage remained unaffected.

Statistical fatigue properties of metallic materials are increasingly required for reliability design purpose. In this study, static and fatigue tests were conducted and the normal, log-normal, two -parameter Weibull distributions at the 5% significance level are compared using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. Parameter estimation were compared with experimental results using the maximum likelihood method and least square method. It is found that two-parameter Weibull distribution and maximum likelihood method provide a good fit for static and fatigue life data. Therefore, it is applicable to the static and fatigue life analysis of the spheroidal graphite cast iron. The P-S-N curves were evaluated using log-normal distribution, which showed fatigue life behavior very well.

Fatigue reliability problems are nowadays actively considered in the design of mechanical components. Recently, Dimension Reduction Method using Kriging approximation (KDRM) was proposed by the authors to efficiently calculate statistical moments of the response function. This method, which is more tractable for its sensitivity-free nature and providing the response PDF in a few number of analyses, is adopted in this study for the reliability analysis. Before applying this method to the practical fatigue problems, accuracies are studied in terms of parameters of the KDRM through a number of numerical examples, from which best set of parameters are suggested. In the fatigue reliability problems, good number of experimental data are necessary to get the statistical distribution of the S-N parameters. The information, however, are not always available due to the limited expense and time. In this case, a family of curves with prediction interval, called P-S-N curve, is constructed from regression analysis. Using the KDRM, once a set of responses are available at the sample points at the mean, all the reliability analyses for each P-S-N curve can be efficiently studied without additional response evaluations. The method is applied to a spring design problem as an illustration of practical applications, in which reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) is conducted by employing stochastic response surface method which includes probabilistic constraints in itself. Resulting information is of great practical value and will be very helpful for making trade-off decision during the fatigue design.

A chemiluminescence method has been developed to determine vitamin $P_1$ in aqueous solution which is based on the enhancement of the intensity of lucigenin using lucigenin-$H_2O_2$ as chemiluminogenic system. The effects of experimental parameters such as concentrations of lucigenin, pH and concentrations of $H_2O_2$ were studied. The present method allows the determination of vitamin $P_1$ over the range $7.5{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}5.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$. The detection limit was $5.7{\times}10^{-7}mol/L$. The relative standard deviation was 0.75 % for 10 determinations of $7.5{\times}10^{-5}mol/L$ vitamin $P_1$. The correlation coefficient of the working curve was 0.9984 (S/N=3).

The purpose of this study is to evaluate on the applicability of Load Duration Curve (LDC) method using Maintenance of Variance Extension types 2 method and sampling data for efficient total maximum daily loads at the Nakbon-A unit watershed in Korea. The LDC method allows for characterizing water quality data such as BOD, TOC, T-N and T-P in this study at different flow regimes(or quarters). BOD usually exceeded the standard value (exceedance probability 50%) at low flow zone. On the other hand, TOC, T-N, T-P usually exceeded the standard value at dry and low flow zone. Seasonally all water quality variables usually exceeded the standard value at Q1(Jan-Mar) and Q2(Apr-Jun) zones. Improvement of effluent control from wastewater treatment plants are effective to improve BOD and T-P.

The affinity of mequitazine, a non-sedating antihistamine, for muscarinic receptors was evaluated in the guinea-pig ventricle and ileum by in vitro binding techniques and functional studies. In binding studies, [$^3$H]quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) identified a single class of muscarinic receptors with similar apparent $K_{D}$ value of about 100 pM in two tissues. Mequitazine inhibited [$^3$H]QNB binding to muscarinic receptors competitively. Analysis of the mequitazine inhibition curve of [$^3$H]QNB binding to ventricular microsome and ileal homogenate indicated the presence of a single homogeneous binding site with Ki value of 25 nM and 18 nM, respectively. In functional studies, mequitazine caused parallel rightward shifts of concentration-response curves for carbachol and histamine in the isolated guinea-pig ileum. The slope values obtained from Schild plot analysis for the antagonistic action of mequitazine on muscarinic and histamine $H_1$-receptors were not significantly different from unity. The p $A_2$values of mequitazine for muscarinic and histamine $H_1$-receptors were about 7.6 ( $K_{M}$= 25.1 nM) and 8.88 ( $K_{H}$= 1.32 nM), respectively. These results indicate that the muscarinic receptor blocking action of mequitazine is 15 times less potent than the $H_1$receptor blocking action, but high concentration of this drug may cause the peripheral muscarinic receptor blocking effect.t.t.t.

New HPLC method was developed for determination of some flavonoids such as naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, rutin, quercitrin, naringenin, hesperetin and apigenin and their contents in citrus juice and citrus peel from citrus varieties Brown in Cheju. Detection was at 280nm and reverse phase ${\mu}$-Bondapak C-18 column was used. Water/methanol/acetic acid as the mobile phase was better than water/acetonitrile/acetic acid. Flavonoids were more stable in 20% n,n-dimethylformamide in methanol(20% DMF) than methanol and pH 12 adjusted by 1N-sodium hydroxide solution. Standard flavonoid solutions were injected three times consecutively and the reproduciability was 0.236 to 3.550%, Correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.9946 to 0.9999. The exiraction efficiency of hesperidin from citrus peel was evaluated with different extraction method such as reflux, ultra-sonicating method, using three solvents (aqueous solutions with pH12 adjusted by 1N-sodium hydroxide, methanol and 20% DMF), respectively. The reflux for 4 hour in 20% DMF was the most efficient of the tested methods and solvents, and recovery percentage were 78.0∼130.0%. Flavonoids were determined in citrus juice. Naringin was 68.2mg/100$m\ell$ in Natsudaidai, Hesperidin were 85.6mg/100$m\ell$ in Sankyool and Neohesperidin was 25.3mg/100$m\ell$ in Dangyooja. Flavonoids were determined in citrus peel. Naringin was 110mg/g in Dangyooja, Hesperidin was 242mg/g in Hungjin and Neohesperidin was 87.9mg/g in Dangyooja.

Although Serkowski used a single value K=1.15 in representing all the observed interstellar linear polarization curves by his empirical relation $p({\lambda})/P_{max}$=exp (-K $1n^2({\lambda}_{max}/{\lambda})$), where $p_{max}$ is the maximum polarization at wavelength ${\lambda}_{max}$, we have noticed a meaningful variation in K from observations of 72 stars. By comparing K's with $P_{max}/E_{B-V}\;and\;with\;{\lambda}_{max}$, we have examined how the shape of the polarization curve is related with the degree of grain alignment on one hand, and with grain sizes on the other. We have shown that correlations between K, $P_{max}/E_{B-V}\;and\;with\;{\lambda}_{max}$, are consistent with the idea of Davis-Greenstein mechanism for grain alignment.
