This paper presents the results of an empirical study in which square rock-like blocks containing two parallel pre-existing rough non-persistent joints were subjected to uniaxial compression load. The main purpose of this study was to investigate uniaxial compressive strength and deformation modulus of jointed specimens. Response Surface Method (RSM) was utilized to design experiments and investigate the effect of four joint parameters, namely joint roughness coefficient (JRC), bridge length (L), bridge angle (${\gamma}$), and joint inclination (${\theta}$). The interaction of these parameters on the uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) and deformation modulus of the blocks was investigated as well. The results indicated that an increase in joint roughness coefficient, bridge length and bridge angle increased compressive strength and deformation modulus. Moreover, increasing joint inclination decreased the two mechanical properties. The concept of 'interlocking cracks' which are mixed mode (shear-tensile cracks) was introduced. This type of cracks can happen in higher level of JRC. Initiation and propagation of this type of cracks reduces mechanical properties of sample before reaching its peak strength. The results of the Response Surface Methodology showed that the mutual interaction of the joint parameters had a significant influence on the compressive strength and deformation modulus.

In order to expand agricultural lands in the western and southern coasts of Korean Peninsula, coarse soils excavated from hillsides have been used as fill materials for reclamation. In order to tackle with the problems and to confirm availability, research on soil improvement involve mixing cement to the fine wet soils. Required undrained shear strength$(C_u)$ for fill material was analysed to be 0.34~1.2 $kgf/cm^2$. It has been known that when cement is added to high water content marine clay its unconfined compression strength increased to 2 $kgf/cm^2$. Consolidation results show that pre-consolidation pressure increased to 1.8 $kgf/cm^2$and 3.4 $kgf/cm^2$ with the addition of 3% and 5% of cement respectively. This result shows that low-height embankments could be constructed without significant compression. Since the effectiveness of improvement may be different site by site, the mix design for each site is necessary in order to optimize it. The process is first to determine aimed shear strength and then optimum mix ratio of cement after carrying out a series of tests.

In order to tackle with the problems and to confirm availability, research on soil improvement involve mixing cement to the fine wet soils. Required undrained shear strength(c$\sub$u/) for fill material was analyzed to be 0.34∼1.2kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. It has been known that when cement is added to high water content marine clay, its unconfined compression strength increased to 2kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Consolidation results show that pre-consolidation pressure increased to 1.8kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 3.4kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ with the addition of 3% and 5% of cement respectively.

SPIHT는 수행속도가 빠르고 효율적인 웨이블릿 기반의 이미지 압축 알고리즘으로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나, SPIHT는 알고리즘을 수행하는 과정에서 발생하는 제로트리 및 계수의 상태를 저장하기 위하여 리스트 구조를 사용하고 있어 추가 메모리를 요구하며, 비트율의 증가에 따라 메모리 요구량이 증가하는 단점을 가진다. 본 논문에서는 SPIHT 알고리즘을 수행하는데 있어 추가 메모리를 요구하지 않는 MZC-BFS 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 peano 코드를 이용하여 완벽한 너비우선 순서에 따라 공간트리를 탐색하며, 부호화 과정에서 이전상태 중요계수 테스트 및 복원과정에서 계수의 LSB를 이용함으로써 SPIHT에서 리스트 문제를 제거한다. MZC-BFS는 SPIHT에 비하여 리스트를 사용하지 않기 때문에 하드웨어 구현이 간단하고 수행속도가 빠를 뿐 아니라 추가 메모리를 요구하지 않기 때문에 하드웨어 제작비용을 절감할 수 있다.

Many materials including cementitious concrete-type materials undergo material property changes during high-rate loading. There is a wealth of research regarding this phenomenon for concrete in compression and tension. However, there is minimal knowledge about how mortar material used in concrete masonry unit (CMU) construction behaves in high-rate shear loading. A series of experiments was conducted to examine the bond strength of mortar bonded to CMU units under high-rate shear loading. A novel experimental setup using a shock tube and dynamic ram were used to load specially constructed shear triplets in a double lap shear configuration with no pre-compression. The Finite Element Method was leveraged in conjunction with data from the experimental investigation to establish if the shear bond between concrete masonry units and mortar exhibits any rate dependency. An increase in shear bond strength was observed when loaded at a high strain rate. This data indicates that the CMU-mortar bond exhibits a rate dependent strength change and illustrates the need for further study of the CMU-mortar interface characteristics at high strain rates.

Objectives : CHUNA therapy that removes compression of dislocated vertebral bones has positive effect, but sometimes improper CHUNA manual therapy may give rise to negative effect. The aim of this study is to make sure that cervical CHUNA manual therapy give positive effect or negative effect to the blood flow velocity of vertebral artery(VA) and basilar artery(BA) by Trancranial Doppler sonography(TCD). Methods : We performed TCD study on 20patients(male 5, female 15, mean ages 38.5 years) with diagnosis like cervical movement related disorder, headache or dizziness. After we measured mean blood flow velocity(Vm) of VA and BA before cervical CHUNA therapy(Pre-CCT) and after cervical CHUNA therapy(Post-CCT), statistically evaluated the results. Results: The patients received cervical CHUNA therapy for TA sequel, HIVD of cervical spine, headache, dizziness, neck stiffness etc. VA Vm was $31.9{\pm}8.0cm/sec$ before CHUNA therapy, but significantly increased $35.0{\pm}8.7cm/sec$ after CHUNA therapy (p < 0.05). But, there was no significant variation of BA Vm between $41.8{\pm}7.5cm/sec$ Pre-CCT and $41.2{\pm}8.5cm/sec$ Post-CCT(p>0.05). Though VA Vm slightly increased after CHUNA therapy in normal range group, there was no significant variation between VA Vm Pre-CCT and VA Vm Post~CCT. In VA Vm decrease group, VA Vm significantly increased after CHUNA therapy(p<0.05). But, there was no significant variation of BA Vm between Pre-CCT and Post-CCT in BA Vm normal range group and BA Vm decrease group(p>0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that cervical CHUNA manual therapy have positive effect on blood flow velocity of VA and BA.

Extruded Mg-Bi binary alloys are known to have an undesirable bimodal grain structure containing a large amount of coarse unrecrystallized grains. Accordingly, to improve the microstructural homogeneity of extruded Mg-Bi alloys, it is necessary to promote the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior during hot extrusion. An effective way to promote DRX is an increase in nucleation sites for DRX through a pre-deformation process before extrusion, such as cold pre-forging and hot pre-compression. However, the application of these pre-deformation processes increases the cost of final extruded Mg products because of an increase in energy consumption and decrease in productivity. Therefore, a low-cost new continuous process with high productivity is required to improve the microstructural homogeneity and mechanical properties of extruded Mg alloys without a drastic increase in the entire process cost. This study proposes a new extrusion method using an extrusion billet with a truncated cone shape (i.e., tapered billet) instead of a conventional extrusion billet with a cylindrical shape. When the hot extrusion of a Mg-5Bi alloy is conducted using the tapered billet, the DRX behavior during extrusion is considerably promoted. The DRX fraction and average grain size of the extruded alloy significantly increase and decrease from 65% to 91% and from 225 ㎛ to 49 ㎛, respectively. Consequently, the extruded Mg-5Bi alloy fabricated using the tapered billet has a finer homogeneous grain structure and higher tensile elongation than the extruded counterpart fabricated using the cylindrical billet.

Over the past few years, the complex and subtle roles of microRNA (miRNA) in gene regulation have been increasingly appreciated. Computational approaches have played one of important roles in identifying miRNAs from plant and animals, as well as in predicting their putative gene target. We present a new approach of comprehensive analysis of the evolutionarily conserved element scores and applied data compression technique to detect putative miRNA genes. We used the evolutionarily conserved elements [19] (see more detail on method and material) to calculate for base-by-base along the candidate pre-miRNA gene region by detecting common conserved pattern from target sequence. We applied the data compression technique [20] to detect unknown miRNA genes. This zipping method devises, without loss of generality with respect to the nature of the character strings, a method to measure the similarity between the strings under consideration [20]. Our experience to using our new computational method for detecting miRNA gene identification (or miRNA gene prediction) has been stratified and we were able to find 28 putative miRNA genes.
