Persimmon wood (Diospyros kaki) is a seasonal fruit-producing plant with a beautiful dark pattern in its wood that is suitable for high-quality furniture, sculptures and musical instruments. The utilization of persimmon wood can be improved by determining its anatomical characteristics, such as juvenile and mature wood. This study aimed to determine the boundaries between juvenile and mature wood and observe the anatomical properties of juvenile and mature wood and their variations in the axial direction. Three 30-year-old persimmon (D. kaki) trees grown in Karo, North Sumatra, Indonesia, were used in this study. The boundary between juvenile and mature wood was determined by measuring the fiber length and vessel element length from near the pith to near the bark. Anatomical observations were conducted in the juvenile and mature wood areas. The results showed that the average boundaries between juvenile and mature wood were 44.11 mm from the pith and were not significantly different in the axial direction of the trees. Furthermore, the wood anatomy categories of juvenile and mature wood differed significantly in terms of fiber diameter, fiber proportion, vessel proportion, and axial parenchyma proportion. In the axial direction, vessel diameter, ray parenchyma frequency, and ray parenchyma proportion at the base, middle, and top of the tree were significantly different.

이번 실험의 목적은 이축 굴곡 강도 시험의 복합레진에서의 적용가능성을 위해 기존의 3점 굴곡 강도 시험과 이축 굴곡 강도 시험을 이용하여 치과용 광중합형 레진의 강도를 측정하고, 이를 Weibull modulus를 이용하여 상대적 신뢰도를 비교하는 것이다. 이번 실험에 사용된 재료는 $MICRONEW^{TM},\;RENEW^{(R)}$ (Bisco, Schaumburg, USA)의 두 가지 광중합형 수복 재료이다. 이축 굴곡 강도 측정에는 International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 6872 규정에 따라 piston-on-3-ball test를 사용하였으며 검사 시편은 직경이 각각 12 mm (지지원의 반지름 3.75 mm), 16 mm (지지원의 반지름 5 mm), 두께가 각각 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm인 여섯 개의 군으로 나누어 제작하였으며 각 군당 시편을 20개씩 제작하였다. $MICRONEW^{TM}$와 $RENEW^{(R)}$의 실험 결과, 이축 굴곡 강도가 3점 굴곡 강도보다 높은 평균값을 나타내었고 이축 굴곡 강도의 모든 군이 3점 굴곡 강도보다 높은 Weibull modulus 값을 보여, 이축 굴곡 강도 시험이 상대적으로 실험적 오차의 영향을 적게 받는 방법으로 신뢰 할 수 있었다. 또한 이축 굴곡 강도 시험에서 시편의 두께가 2 mm일 때 가장 높은 Weibull modulus를 나타내었으며 이축 굴곡 강도시험군 중, $MICRONEW^{TM}$의 두께 2 mm군에서는 지지원의 반지름에 따른 굴곡 강도의 통계학적 유의차이가 없었고 (p>0.05), 이를 제외한 모든 군에서 시편의 두께와 지지원의 반지름에 따른 굴곡 강도의 통계학적 유의차이가 있었다 (p<0.05). 위의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 두께 2 mm군에서 이축 굴곡 강도는 기존의 3점 굴곡 강도 시험보다 우수한 것으로 추천할 수 있는 방법이다.

Poorly designed reinforced concrete (RC) columns of actual moment-resisting frame (MRF) buildings can undergo Axial Compression Ratios (ACR) so high as their demand exceeds their capacity, even for serviceability gravity load combinations, this lack commonly leads to insufficient seismic strength. Nonetheless, many seismic design codes do not specify limits for ACR. The main contribution of this research is to investigate the need to limit the ACR in seismic design. For this purpose, three prototype 6 and 11-story RC MRF buildings are analyzed in this paper, these buildings have columns undergoing excessive ACR, according to the limits prescribed by standards. To better that situation, three types of alterations are performed: retrofitting the abovementioned overloaded columns by steel jacketing, increasing the concrete strength, and reducing the number of stories. Several finite element analyses are conducted using the well-known software SAP2000 and the results are used for further calculations. Code-type and pushover analyses are performed on the original and retrofitted buildings, the suitability of the other modified buildings is checked by code-type analyses only. The obtained results suggest that ACR is a rather reliable indicator of the final building strength, hence, apparently, limiting the ACR in the standards (for early stages of design) might avoid unnecessary verifications.

Electrostatic micro-motors can be divided into three classes: (i) salient type side drive motor, (ii) radial gap type wobble motor, (iii) axial gap type wobble motor. The working mechanism, torque evaluation, fabrication, and operational characteristics of each micro motors are compared. It is proved that axial gap type wobble motor has the bigger generating torque than that of the other type. The gear ratio of wobble motors increases the driving torque at the cost of a decreasing angular speed and decreases the friction because of the rolling motion instead of sliding at the bearing. Techniques for characterizing micro-motors performance are presented.

An axially marching numerical method is developed for the simulation of the internal waves produced by translation of a submersed vehicle in a density-stratified ocean. The method provides for the direct solution of the primitive variables [$\upsilon,\;p,\;\rho$] for the nonlinear and steady state three-dimensional Euler's equation with a non-constant density term in the vehicle-fixed cartesian co-ordinate system. By utilizing a known potential flow around the vehicle for an estimate of the axial velocity gradient, the present parabolic algorithm local upstreamwise disturbances and axial velocity variation.

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of various treatments; bifocal spectacles, orthokeratology, atropine, and time spent in outdoors; in slowing down the myopia progression for Asian adolescents (6-18age). Methods: The research focused on examining the most effective treatment in controlling myopia based on the literature sources that have been published. Through meta-analysis of various research papers that already has been done in this field, a lot of data was collected. For each treatment, the difference in axial length and spherical equivalent over time was measured and recorded. To quantitatively record the difference, both axial length and spherical equivalent was determined by value of control group value of treatment group. The paper compared the effectiveness of each treatment based on the data that was measured. Results: Adolescents who chose to spend time outdoors in order to slow down myopia progression had axial length difference of 0.03 mm and spherical equivalent difference of 0.17 D. Adolescents that used atropine had axial length difference of 0.36 mm and spherical equivalent difference of 0.92 D. Bifocal spectacle resulted in axial length difference of 0.21 mm and spherical equivalent difference of 0.59 D, and for orthokeratology 0.23 mm and 0.04 D, respectively. Axial length wise, myopia was most controlled by the atropine since there was a greatest difference between the group that got the treatment and the group that did not have the treatment. According to the spherical equivalent difference data, myopia was most controlled by atropine. Conclusion: Atropine showed the most effective result in controlling myopia among the four treatment. Again, compared to other three treatment, using atropine appeared to have greatest ability in slowing down myopia progression since adolescents who were treated with atropine had greatest difference from adolescents in the control group that had the same condition but didn't get the treatment. However, every treatment was only used for 2 or 3 years which is quite short time period to measure the long term effect of the four treatments. Also, since atropine is a pharmaceutical method to control myopia, it may harm adolescents' eyes compared to optical or environmental treatment.

Energy-saving block and invisible multiribbed frame composite wall (EBIMFCW) is an important shear wall, which is composed of energy-saving blocks, steel bars and concrete. This paper conducted seismic performance tests on six 1/2-scale EBIMFCW specimens, analyzed their failure process under horizontal reciprocating load, and studied the effect of axial compression ratio on the wall's hysteresis curve and skeleton curve, ductility, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, bearing capacity degradation. A formula for calculating the peak bearing capacity of such walls was proposed. Results showed that the EBIMFCW had experienced a long time deformation from cracking to failure and exhibited signs of failure. The three seismic fortification lines of the energy-saving block, internal multiribbed frame, and outer multiribbed frame sequentially played important roles. With the increase in axial compression ratio, the peak bearing capacity and ductility of the wall increased, whereas the initial stiffness decreased. The change in axial compression ratio had a small effect on the energy dissipation capacity of the wall. In the early stage of loading, the influence of axial compression ratio on wall stiffness and strength degradation was unremarkable. In the later stage of loading, the stiffness and strength degradation of walls with high axial compression ratio were low. The displacement ductility coefficients of the wall under vertical pressure were more than 3.0 indicating that this wall type has good deformation ability. The limit values of elastic displacement angle under weak earthquake and elastic-plastic displacement angle under strong earthquake of the EBIMFCW were1/800 and 1/80, respectively.

In case of the continuous welded rail(CWR) track is supported by the railway bridge, the additional axial force is occurred in the CWR due to the track-bridge interaction. In the various design codes such as Korean code, European code, UIC code, etc, three important loads(temperature variation in the bridge-deck, braking/acceleration and the bending of the bridge-deck resulted from the passing train) are treated as the independent loading case. In other words, the additional axial force can be obtained by summing up the three different values calculated by the three independent analysis. However, this analysing method may have an error because the behavior of the longitudinal resistance between the rail and the bridge-deck is under the highly nonlinear. Therefore, in order to exactly analyse the track-bridge interaction, nonlinear loading history and the change of the longitudinal resistance owing to the loading history must be considered in the analysis process. In this study, the loading history effect on the track-bridge interaction is investigated considering the resonable combination of three loads and the longitudinal resistance change.
