Antibodies raised against the purified p-subunit of $\beta$-conglycinin were used in immunohistochemical studies to monitor the pattern of $\beta$-conglycinin mobilization in the cotyledons during soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] seed germination. Western blot analysis revealed that the break down of the $\beta$-subunit of $\beta$-conglycinin commenced as early as 2 days after seed imbibition (DAI). Concurrent with the degradation of the $\beta$-subunit of $\beta$-conglycinin, accumulation of 48, 28, and 26 kD proteolytic intermediates was observed from 2 to 6 DAI. Western blot analysis also revealed that the acidic subunit of glycinin was mobilized earlier than the basic subunit. The basic glycinin subunit was subjected to proteolysis within 2 DAI resulting in the appearance of an intermediate product approximately 2 kD smaller than the native basic glycinin subunit. In contrast to the major seed storage proteins, lipoxygenase was subjected to limited proteolysis and was detected even after 8 DAI. The first sign of $\beta$-conglycinin breakdown was observed near the vascular strands and proceeded from the vascular strands towards the epidermis. Protein A-gold localization studies using thin sections of soybean cotyledons and antibodies raised against the $\beta$-subunit of $\beta$-conglycinin revealed intense labeling over protein bodies. A pronounced decrease in the protein A-gold labeling intensity over protein bodies was observed at later stages of seed germination. The protein bodies, which were converted into a large central vacuole by 8 DAI, contained very little 7S protein as evidenced by sparse protein A-gold labeling in the vacuoles.

A ground anchor system is used as a load carrying element for soil structure stability The conventional systems with ground anchors bring about the anchorage loss of wedges when anchors are installed for the support of soil structures. Hence we developed the new type of anchor system using both the spacing apparatus and spring (length 60mm, diameter 6mm). In this system, we can directly check the condition of wedges and PS strands and modify the problems with the slip and anchorage of wedges under construction. For demonstrating the superiority of this system, we carried out a series of both laboratory and field test. Consequently, we can obtain satisfactory result (18.99% reduction to the loss of conventional systems). Moreover, the replacement of wedges is easy and simple when retensioning of strands.

Existing method protruding strands that are embedded in PHC pile to connect pile head and foundation slab shows poor constructibility. As this causes crack and damage in pile head and casualties often occurs in construction site during the work, alternative method called one-cutting method, in which pile above the ground surface and strands embedded in pile are completely cut and pile head is reinforced with rebar for connection with foundation slab, is currently adopted. However, the capacity of details for these methods are not mechanically proved. In this study, in order to suggest proper details of reinforcement for one-cutting method, failures due to lack of shear resistance between infilled concrete and PHC pile are analyzed through experiments and embedded depth with infilled concrete inside PHC pile is suggested. Assuming that slip failure strength is 0.4MPa, which is obtained from experiment conservatively, to have rebar yielded before slip failure, minimum depth of infilled concrete for PHC 450 and PHC 500, need to be 600mm above, and for PHC 600, 1,000mm above.

The present paper is a study on the risk analysis of complex electrical fire by the partial disconnection and tracking. First, in order to analysis the single cause of electrical fire risk by the partial disconnection, the thermal characteristic has been measured by the change in the number of strands and the rated current of a wire. And then, in order to analysis the electrical fire risk by complex cause, an experiment on the accelerated tracking has been carried out in a condition of partial disconnection and confirmed the fire relation between partial disconnection and tracking. From the experiment, if the partial wire disconnection acts as a single cause, the existing thermal characteristics generated by the flowing current has appeared more clearly by the increase in the flowing current due to the complex action of tracking. Accordingly, the disconnection of strands has appeared by the complex cause due to the drastic temperature increase which was not generated in the single cause. Namely, it has been confirmed that if the partial disconnection and tracking act complexly rather than the risk of electrical fire by the existing partial disconnection, relatively its risk has been increased in large.

While the utilization of wood as a raw material in related industries has been increasing with the population increasing, the availability of wood from natural forests has continued to decline. An alternative to this situation is the manufacture of particleboard from non-wood lignocellulose materials through the modification of sandwich particleboard (SPb) using bamboo strands as reinforcement. In this study, strandsof belangke bamboo (Gigantochloa pruriens W) and tali bamboo (Gigantochloa apus) were utilized. The non-wood particles included sugar palm fibers, cornstalk, and sugarcane bagasse. The board was made in a three-layer composition of the face, back, and core in a ratio of 1: 2: 1. The binder used was 8% isocyanate resin. The sheet was pressed at a temperature of 160℃ for 5 min under a pressure of 3.0 N/㎟. Testing included physical and mechanical properties based on the JIS A 5908 (2003) standard, while acoustic testing was based on ISO 11654 (1997) standards. The results showed that using bamboo strands as reinforcement has an effect on the mechanical and physical properties of SPb. Almost all the types of boards met the JIS A 5908 (2003) standards, with the exception of thickness swelling (TS) and internal bond (IB) parameters. Based on the thickness swelling parameter, the C-type board exhibited the best properties. Overall, the B-type board thatused a belangke bamboo strand for the surface and sugarcane bagasse as the core underwent the best treatment. Based on the acoustical parameter, boards using a tali bamboo strand for the surface and sugar palm fiber as the core (E-type board) exhibited good sound absorption properties.

In this paper, we propose a technique that can express low-resolution hair and fur simulations in high-resolution without noise using ConvNet and geometric images of strands in the form of lines. Pairs between low-resolution and high-resolution data can be obtained through physics-based simulation, and a low-resolution-high-resolution data pair is established using the obtained data. The data used for training is used by converting the position of the hair strands into a geometric image. The hair and fur network proposed in this paper is used for an image synthesizer that upscales a low-resolution image to a high-resolution image. If the high-resolution geometry image obtained as a result of the test is converted back to high-resolution hair, it is possible to express the elastic movement of hair, which is difficult to express with a single mapping function. As for the performance of the synthesis result, it showed faster performance than the traditional physics-based simulation, and it can be easily executed without knowing complex numerical analysis.

In this study, the transfer length of strand was measured for three types of HCS member(H200, H320, and H400) manufactured by the pretension method. Strain gauges were attached in longitudinal direction at regular intervals on the sides of the HCS members, and the strain was measured during the cutting process of HCS. The stain at the cutting point was zero, and gradually increases in the central direction of the member, converging to a constant value after passing the transfer length. In the case of H200 members in which the strands were arranged one by one, the transfer lengths were formed within the range of the design equation (up to 762 mm). The transfer length of the H320 member and the H400 member, in which three strands were arranged, was higher than the design range (850 mm or more).

Conventional RC beams for crossing small and medium-sized rivers do not have a cross-sectional area, so the floating debris is accumulated and disasters such as damage to bridges occur. To improve this, the PSC method was invented. However, this also had problems such as transverse curvature, increase in dead weight due to cross-sectional shape, and negative moment generated during serialization, so it was necessary to develop a new type of girder. Therefore, it was intended to propose a LIT(Leton Interaction Thrust) girder bridge that is safer and has better performance than the conventional PSC girder with improved section efficiency. Unlike existing girder bridges, the LIT girder has the feature that the change in the strands of the entire girder occurs only in the vertical direction when the first tension is applied because the tendon arrangement is symmetrical by applying the raised portion. In addition, slab continuation generates a secondary moment that is advantageous to the continuous point, effectively controlling the negative moment and preventing the corrosion of the tendon. The dimensions of the cross section were determined, and the arrangement of the strands was designed to conduct structural analysis and detailed analysis. As a result of the structural analysis, the stress of the girder showed results within the allowable compressive stress, and the deflection showed the result within the allowable deflection. showed results. In addition, a detailed analysis was performed to examine the stress distribution around the girder body and the anchorage area and the stress distribution of the embossed portion, and as a result, the stress of the girder body due to the tension force showed a stable level.

The purpose of this study was to investigate a method for the strength enhancement of wale in temporary retaining structures. Tests on the wale structures strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) strips and prestressed with seven wire strands were conducted. From this test, it is found that the flexural stiffness and strength of the wales strengthened with CFRP strips and seven wire strands were significantly improved compared to the unstrengthened one. The ultimate tensile strains of attached CFRP strips on the steel beam were in the range of 8,000 and $11,000{\mu}{\epsilon}$, and it is noticed that the bonding ability with steel and CFRP strips is good. In this paper, a new method for enhancing the strength of wale in retaining structures is suggested.

Forty-two preoperative CT scans with renal cell carcinoma were reviewed and compared with pathologic findings to evaluate the differential points between stage I and II. Regardless of whole body staging, perirenal fat infiltrations were seen in 9 cases and the other 33 cases showed no infiltration onto perirenal fat tissue. We retrospectively reviewed them by comparing tumor size and CT findings, following three view points, lobulating contour of tumor margin, thickening of Gerota's fascia and strands in perirenal fat tissue. The size of them was 2-15 cm, size of the stage I tumors was 2-15 cm and that of stage II was 6-15 cm. In stage I(n=33), 25 cases(76%) showed smooth margin, and the others(n=8) showed lobulating contours. Thickening of Gerota's fascia was observed in 7 cases(21%) and strands in perirenal fat tissue in 14(42%). Of these, only one positive finding was seen in 7 cases(21%), 2 findings in 6(18%), 3 findings in 3 (9%) and nothing in 17cases(51%). In stage II(n=9), 3 cases(34%) showed smooth margin, and the others(n=6) showed lobulating contours. Thickening of Gerota's fascia were observed in 5 cases(55%) and strands in perirenal fat tissue in 9(100%). Of these, one finding was seen in 2 cases(22%), 2 findings in 3(33%), 3 findings in 4 (44%). In conclusion, it is insufficient to evaluate the perirenal fat infiltration in renal cell carcinoma with only one positive finding of 3 view points; lobulation of tumor margin, thickening of Gerota's fascia, strands in perirenal fat tissue. But if all these findings are shown, it is helpful to determinate perirenal fat infiltration of renal cell carcinoma.
