The study covers the behavior of reinforced concrete deep beams loaded under 4-point bending, failed by shear and repaired using bonding glass fiber reinforced plastics fabrics (GFRP) patches. Two rehabilitation methods have been used to highlight the influence of the composite on the ultimate strength of the beams and their failure modes. In the first series of trials the work has been focused on the reinforcement/rehabilitation of the beam by following the continuous configuration of the FRP fabric. The patch with a U-shape did not provide satisfactory results because this reinforcement strategy does not allow to increase the ultimate strength or to avoid the abrupt shear failure mode. A second methodology of rehabilitation/reinforcement has been developed in the form of SCR (Strips of Critical Region), in which the composite materials reinforcements are positioned to band the inclined cracks (shear) caused by the shear force. The results obtained by using this method lead a superior out come in terms of ultimate strength and change of the failure mode from abrupt shearing to ductile bending.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to review relevant clinical studies to investigate the effectiveness of herbal medicines for IgA (Immunoglobulin A) nephropathy in children. Methods Studies on herbal treatment for IgA nephropathy were searched and analyzed through electronic databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, CiNii, J-STAGE, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System and Science ON. Studies included Randomized controlled trials and case series. Results We selected nine studies and analyzed the findings. In most studies, improvement of IgA nephropathy was observed after treatment, and was evaluated using factors as 24 hour urine protein, hematuria, Scr (serum creatinine) and BUN (blood urea nitrogen). The most commonly used herbs for IgA nephropathy were Poria cocos (茯苓), Astragalus membranaceus (黃芪), and Rehmannia glutinosa (生地黃). Conclusions Based on the results of the clinical studies, we identified that herbal medicine is an effective treatment for IgA nephropathy. However, additional systematic clinical studies are necessary to prove its effect and safety.

NOx와 먼지 동시 제거용 기능성 여과포 개발의 일환으로 $V_2O_5/TiO_2$ 계열의 상용촉매를 사용하여 P-84, Nomex, PTFE 여과포에 코팅하였다. 사용된 코팅 방법은 Sol-gel법, Spray 법 그리고 Dip 코팅 방법이었으며 코팅방법이 여과포의 NOx 제거 반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. NOx 제거반응실험은 여과포의 작동온도에 맞는 $100-250^{\circ}C$의 반응온도범위에서, 공간속도 $5,000hr^{-1}$, 산소농도 6%, $NH_3/NO$ 몰비는 1.0의 조건하에서 수행되었다. 본 연구에서 시도된 세 가지 코팅 방법 중 촉매량의 조절 및 균일한 코팅이 용이한 Sol-gel법에 의해 제조된 기능성여과포가 가장 좋은 NOx 전환율을 나타냈다.
