본 연구에서는 비지지길이 양단에 계단식 단면 변화를 가지는 보에 대해 횡-비틀림 좌굴강도를 합리적으로 산정하기 위 한 새로운 모멘트 구배 수정계수를 개발, 제안하였다. 제안된 식은 건물과 교량에 사용된 보의 양단에 개별 지지만 존재하는 경우와, 슬래브 등이 타설되어 상부플랜지에 연속적인 횡방향 지지가 존재하는 경우로 구분되어 연구되었다. 새로운 모멘트 구배 수정계수식을 개발하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프로그램이 활용되었으며, 제안식은 기존에 발표된 식들과 비교 분석되었다. 구조물에 발생가능한 대부분의 하중조건이 본 연구에 고려되었으나, 본 논문에서는 하나의 집중하중과 등분포하중이 작용하는 경우를 중점으로 기술되었다. 본 연구에서는 비지지길이와 보작용시 적용 가능하도록 식이 개발 제안되었다. 본 논문을 통해 제안된 새로운 모멘트 구배 수정계수식들은 건물과 교량의 설계 및 유지관리 기술자들이 간편하고 경제적인 설계를 유도하는 데 크게 기여할 것이다.

The pathotypes of Cercospora beticola, causal agent of sugar beet leaf spot disease, were identified by application of pathogenicity test using 100 isolates obtained from the provinces with intensive sugar beet cultivation. For the identification of pathotypes, five sugar beet cultivars were used each with different resistance factors. Cultivar reactions were determined by inoculation of cultivars with the isolates under controlled conditions and measuring disease severity on the $15^{th}$ day according to the 1-9 KWS Scale. Based on the reactions of the five cultivars, a total of 15 pathotypes were detected. All employed sugar beet cultivars were resistant to Pathotype no:1 comprising most of the isolates. Genetic diversity of the causal agent was characterized by AFLP reaction. The products acquired at the end of AFLP reaction were detected by means of Beckman CEQ 8800 DNA Capillary Series Analysis and the results obtained were evaluated according to the similarity index UPGMA. For the genetic analysis of C. beticola isolates, 9874 polymorphic fragments of sizes between 100 and 500 bp were analysed which were generated by nine primers. The dendrogram derived from AFLP analysis depicted the existence of five different subgroups. The polymorphism rate among isolates was 91.13% and the dendrogram distribution of the pathotypes obtained by pathogenicity indicated that pathotypes were not discriminated and did not compose any groups.

태양전지의 효율을 증가시키는 방법에는 표면 패시베이션, 접촉면적의 가변, back contact의 두께 가변 등이 있다. 특히, back contact 두께의 가변을 통하여 open circuit voltage의 감소를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이라고 전망 되고 있다. open circuit voltage 은 회로가 개방된 상태로, 무한대의 임피던스가 걸린 상태에서 빛을 받았을 때 태양전지의 양단에 전위차가 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 back contact 두께 가변에 따른, open circuit voltage의 변화를 확인하고 분석하는 것에 그 일차적인 초점을 두었다. 또한, open circuit voltage 뿐만 아니라, short circuit current density, fill factor, series resistance 등의 분석을 하였으며, efficiency를 계산하여 back contact 두께의 가변에 따른 소자 특성의 변화 분석을 통하여 최적화된 back contact위 두께를 연구하였다. 접촉면적에 따른 소자의 성능 변화는 후면 $SiN_X$ 70nm가 open circuit voltage를 15mV ~ 20mV 감소시키는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그 이유는 $SiN_X$가 너무 두꺼우면 BSF 덜 형성되기 때문이다. 최종적으로 $SiN_X$ 두께를 얇게하면 open circuit voltage 의 감소를 최소화 할 수 있을 것이라는 판단을 할 수 있다. 이에, back contact인 $SiN_X$ 두께 가변에 따른 open circuit voltage의 변화를 확인하였다. $SiN_X$ 두께가 증가함에 따라, Positive charges 와 Hydrogen 함유량이 증가하며, 이에 BSF 두께 감소하였다. 또한, $SiN_X$ 두께가 감소함에 따라 Doping barrier로서 역할을 못하게 되어 후면에 n+층 형성되어 open circuit voltage가 급격히 하락하였다. 본 연구에서는 back contact인 $SiN_X$ 두께를 10nm, 30nm, 50nm, 80nm 로 가변하며 실험을 진행하였다.

This paper considers the steering characteristics of a four-row tracked vehicle crawling on extremely cohesive soft soil, where each side is composed of two parallel tracks. The four-row tracked vehicle (FRTV) is assumed to be a rigid body with 6-DOF. A dynamic analysis program for the tracked vehicle is developed using the Newmark-${\beta}$ method based on an incremental-iterative scheme. A terra-mechanics model of an extremely cohesive soft soil is implemented in the form of the relationships of the normal pressure to the sinkage, the shear resistance to the shear displacement, and the dynamic sinkage to the shear displacement. In order to investigate the steering characteristics of the four-row tracked vehicle, a series of dynamic simulations is conducted with respect to the distance between the left and right tracks (pitch), steering ratios, driving velocity, reference track velocity, lengths of the tracks, and properties of the cohesive soft soil. Through these numerical simulations, the possibility of using a kinematic steering ratio is explored.

In this article, different frequently adopted modeling aspects of linear and nonlinear dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) are studied on a pile-supported integral abutment bridge structure using the open-source platform OpenSees (McKenna et al. 2000, Mazzoni et al. 2007, McKenna and Fenves 2008) for a 2D domain. Analyzed approaches are as follows: (i) free field input at the base of fixed base bridge; (ii) SSI input at the base of fixed base bridge; (iii) SSI model with two dimensional quadrilateral soil elements interacting with bridge and incident input motion propagating upwards at model bottom boundary (with and without considering the effect of abutment backfill response); (iv) simplified SSI model by idealizing the interaction between structural and soil elements through nonlinear springs (with and without considering the effect of abutment backfill response). Salient conclusions of this paper include: (i) free-field motions may differ significantly from those computed at the base of the bridge foundations, thus put a significant bias on the inertial component of SSI; (ii) conventional modeling of SSI through series of soil springs and dashpot system seems to stay on the safer side under dynamic conditions when one considers the seismic actions on the structure by considering a fully coupled SSI model; (iii) consideration of abutment-backfill in the SSI model positively affects the general response of the bridge, as a result of large passive resistance that may develop behind the abutments.

Uniform spreading of injection current in light-emitting diodes (LEDs) is one of the crucial requirements for better device performances. It is reported that non-uniform current spreading leads to low output power, high current crowding, heating, and reliability degradation of the LED device. This paper reports on the effects of different surface and electrode geometries in the LEDs. To increase the output power of LEDs and reduce the series resistance, a rectangular-type LED (RT-LED) with a centered island cathode has been fabricated and investigated by comparison with a conventional LED (CV-LED). The performances of RT-LEDs were prominently enhanced via uniform current spreading and low current crowding. Performances in terms of increased output power and lower forward voltage of simulated RT-LEDs are much superior to those of CV-LEDs. Based on these results, we investigated the correlation between device geometries and optical characteristics through the fabricated CV and RT-LEDs. The measured output power and forward voltage of the RT-LEDs at 100 mA are 64.7% higher and 8% smaller compared with those of the CV-LEDs.

Reinforced soil and Expanded Polystyrenes (EPS) mixture (RSEM) is a geomaterial which has many merits, such as light weight, wide strength range, easy for construction, and economic feasibility. It has been widely applied to improve soft ground, solve bridge head jump, fill cavity in pipeline and widen highway. Reutilizing dredged sediment to produce RSEM as earthfill can not only consume a large amount of waste sediment but also significantly reduce the construction cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need understand the basic stress-strain characteristics of reinforced dredged sediment-EPS mixture (RDSEM). A series of cyclic triaxial tests were then carried out on the RDSEM and control clay. The effects of cement content, EPS beads content and confining pressure on the cyclic stress-strain behaviour of RDSEM were analyzed. It is found that the three stages of dynamic stress-strain relationship of ordinary soil, vibration compaction stage, vibration shear stage and vibration failure stage are also applicative for RDSEM. The cyclic stress-strain curves of RDSEM are lower than that of control clay in the vibration compaction stage because of its high moisture content. The slopes of backbone curves of RDSEMs in the vibration shear stage are larger than that of control clay, indicating that the existence of EPS beads provides plastic resistance. With the increase of cement content, the cyclic stress-strain relationship tends to be steeper. Increasing cement content and confining pressure could improve the cyclic strength and cyclic stiffness of RDSEM.

Precast concrete structures are erected from individual prefabricated components, which are assembled on-site using different types of connections. In the present design of these structures, beam-to-column connections are assumed pin jointed. Bolted billet beam to-column connections have been used in the precast concrete industry for many years. They have many advantages over other jointing methods in component production, quality control, transportation and assembly. However, there is currently limited information concerning their detailed structural behaviour under vertical loadings. The experimental work has involved the determination of moment-relative rotation relationships for semi-rigid precast concrete connections in full-scale connection tests. The study reported in this paper was undertaken to clarify the behaviour of such connections under symmetrical vertical loadings. A series of full-scale tests was performed on sample column for which the column geometry and bolt arrangements conformed to successful commercial practice. Proprietary hollow core floor slabs were tied to the beams by 2T25 tensile reinforcing bars, which also provide the in-plane continuity across the connections. The contribution of the floor strength and stiffness to the flexural capacity of the joint is currently neglected in the design process for precast concrete frames. The flexural strength of the connections in the double-sided tests was at least 0.93 times the predicted moment of resistance of the composite beam and slab. The secant stiffness of the connections ranged from 0.94 to 1.94 times the flexural stiffness of the attached beam. In general, the double-sided connections were found to be more suited to a semi-rigid design approach than the single sided ones. The behaviour of double sided bolted billet connection test results are presented in this paper. The behaviour of single sided bolted billet connection test results is the subject of another paper.

Lateral epicondylitis is caused by repeated use of the wrist, which causes inflammation and pain in the wrist extensor and tendon of the humerus. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) caused by repetitive resistance exercise affects the tendons connected in series with the muscle, leading to lateral epicondylitis. Although micro-current stimulation has been suggested as a possible treatment for tendinitis, there are insufficient studies on specific variables such as frequency. In this study, 15 healthy adult males and females developed DOMS in the wrist extensor and tendon in the humerus. The experimental group consisted of a low frequency group applying 20 Hz and a high frequency group applying 100 Hz according to the micro-current frequency. Each subject underwent an experiment for 5 days after DOMS, and the recovery rates were compared by measuring AROM, GPT, MST, PPT, and VAS. As a result, the 20 Hz group showed significant changes in AROM, MST, and VAS compared to the control group on the 4th day, and the recovery rate was also higher than that of the 100 Hz group. On the 5th day, recovery rate of 100 Hz group was higher than 20 Hz in AROM and PPT, and MST showed higher recovery rate than 20 Hz group, but there was no significant difference. These results indicate that microcurrent stimulation is effective for the treatment of delayed myalgia and tendon inflammation and that the 100 Hz group has faster recovery than the 20 Hz group.

산화제 과잉 예연소기는 고온/고압/산화제 과잉의 환경이며, 이러한 환경에 금속은 급격한 산화가 발생할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온/고압/산화제 과잉의 환경을 모사할 수 있는 설비를 구축하고 여러 금속 재질에 대해 내산화성 평가를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 온도가 높고 압력이 높은 조건에서 금속재질의 변색, 표면 거칠기에 변화와 금속 표면의 박리 현상이 관찰되었고 무게 변화도 확인하였다. 모든 실험 결과를 종합하였을 때 산화제 과잉 예연소기는 금속 재질에 대한 내산화 코팅이 필수적으로 요구되며, 사용 금속으로는 Cr과 Ni의 함유량이 가장 높은 XM-19를 활용하는 것이 좀 더 구조적 안정성을 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단한다.
