The materialism prevalent in the modern industrial society and concern for the destruction of nature have led people to long for the returning to nature and excite their nostalgia for old. These phenomena induced in modern fashion naturalism retrospectivism ethnicism and primitivism. In the following we present our findings in regard the roles and relationships of the tie dying with the modern fashion design. in regard the roles and relationships of the tie dying with the modern fashion design. The common basic themes are founded as follows; 1. Naturalism: The tie dying is from very old times and has evolved in many parts of the world producing their own natural designs and color. They bear the characteristic of nature; the pleasantness smoothness and complexity. 2. Individualism and hand made: No two items produced by the tie dying technique are identical even though they are similar by design and their individuality is to some extent determined by chance. The retrospetivism and individualism are themes relating to the modern fashion. 3. Ethnicism and primitivism: The tie dying brings up the 'ethnic and traditional' to us and their designs and colors present the new images of the ethnic and primitive influences to the modern designs. 4. Ecology recyle and grunge look: The tie dying represent the recycle of the used natural resources such as making the old cloths useful again in new forms by tie dying them. The old clothes thus restored show wrinkled untidy and somewhat loosely fit form. This image of 'grunge look' is one of the central theme of the modern fashion.

In this study, the relationship between tie shape and underbody train gust of high-speed train is numerically investigated. To this end, complex train underbody/railroad model is replaced by simple plate/tie model. And it is tried to find a most important parameter for reduction of underbody train gust through the Taguchi method and orthogonal array. As a result, it is verified that the height of tie is most sensitive to the underbody train gust because of the cavity effect between ties. When the width and distance between ties are decreased, underbody train gust is also reduced. Consequently, the heighter is examined which can give the similar effect of higher tie without replacement of tie. The 5cm heighter can reduce underbody train gust about $73\%$, which value is only $7\%$ less than the higher tie.

In recent, the design of diaphragm which is representative disturbed region in PSC box girder bridge have been performed according to the empirical method or beam theory. But, these methods couldn't be described the behavior of the end diaphragm, and placed reinforcements accurately. As the compressive stress transferred by the web concentrated on the lower parts of diaphragm, it was demonstrated that the basic assumption of 2-D strut-and-tie model for the diaphragm that the compressive stress acts on the upper parts of the diaphragm is wrong. Meanwhile, in this research, after analyzing the variables of end diaphragm, the 2-D strut-and-tie models appropriate to each cases are proposed. And, the problems of 2-D strut-and-tie model were analyzed, so 3-D strut-and-tie model is proposed as well. There is no codes which include the demonstration of safety of 3-D strut-and-tie model. Hence, for nodes, the stresses at the elements which included the singular node in strut-and-tie model were investigated using the finite element analysis. And, the stress states of strut has one direction, so effective stresses were considered at the stage, dimensioning of the model. From the results, 3-D strut-and-tie model could predict the behavior of end diaphragm accurately, and design of reinforcement could be performed economically.

Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) can differentiate into endothelial cells in an inflammatory microenvironment. However, the regulatory mechanisms underlying this process are not entirely understood. Here, we found that TIE2 in BM-MSCs was upregulated at the transcriptional level after stimulation with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα), a major pro-inflammatory cytokine. Additionally, the STAT-binding sequence within the proximal region of TIE2 was necessary for TNFα-induced TIE2 promoter activation. TIE2 and STAT3 knockdown reduced TNFα-induced endothelial tube formation in BM-MSCs. Among the major TNFα-activated MAP kinases (ERK1/2, JNK1/2, and p38 MAPK) in BM-MSCs, only inhibition of the p38 kinase abrogated TNFα-induced TIE2 upregulation by inhibiting the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. These findings suggest that p38 MAP contributes to the endothelial differentiation of BM-MSCs by activating the JAK-STAT-TIE2 signaling axis in the inflammatory microenvironment.

This paper presents an experimental result and suggests the confinement effect of headed cross tie in reinforced concrete(RC) columns subjected to cycling horizontal loads under constant axial load. Five RC columns specimens were manufactured, taking confined type of transverse reinforcement, whether or not using cross tie, end detail of cross tie (hooked or headed), and axial stress in column as major variables, Cyclic horizontal load applied to the columns under constant axial stress and the effect of cross tie to structural capacity of column was evaluated from the test. The column without cross tie failed showing bending deformation of hoop with crack in core concrete at low horizontal load while the column with cross tie showed quite improved strength and ductility by suppressing bending deformation of hoop as well as buckling of longitudinal bar at once even after crack in core concrete. At high lateral displacement, the column with hooked cross tie showed the failure pattern loosing the confining force of cross tie since the $90^{\circ}$ hooked part of cross tie was stretched out and the cracked core concrete lumps were came off. However, the column with headed cross tie showed very stable behavior since the head of cross tie effectively confined the hoop and longitudinal bars even at high lateral displacement.

The reciprocal relationship between the interpersonal tie and the internet dependency is focused in the study. Mainly, chi-squire test and ANOVA are used in testing the hypothesized relationship of the internet dependency with the interpersonal tie before and after using internet. The strong relationship with the internet dependency is found in internet's both-directional communicating function such as chatting, game, gambling, etc. The level of internet dependency is high when individual's tie with friends, colleagues, or neighbors is strong; but it is lower when individual's emotional tie with family members is stronger. It is confirmed that excessive usage of internet damages family relationship. Conversely, it is also clear that the emotional support from family members is essential for preventing or enhancing internet dependency. This implies that internet dependency is not an individual problem, but that it should be treated under the consideration of his/her family system.

In this paper, design and analysis of anchorage zone in prestressed concrete structure using nonlinear strut and tie model is presented. Nonlinear strut and tie model is an analysis and design model which constructs strut and tie model based on nonlinear analysis considering the nonlinear behavior of concrete. Based on the nonlinear strut and tie model, the analysis and design are performed for the anchorage zone having singular concentric tendons, singular eccentric tendons and multiple tendons, respectively. For verification of the model, comparisons are made with experimental results as well as results by linear strut and tie models. from the comparisons, it is shown that the design of the anchorage zone by the nonlinear model is still economical without loosing the degree of safety and the prediction of the ultimate load by the nonlinear model gives better accuracy than by the linear one.

Recently, many design codes including ACI 318-02 recommend the use of a strut-tie model approach for design of structural concrete with D-region(s). However, there are several unclear problems and shortcomings in the codes' strut-tie model approach. A grid strut-tie model approach was proposed to resolve these problems. In this study, the ultimate strengths of 17 deep beams, the most familiar type of D-regions, were evaluated for the validity check of the grid strut-tie model approach. The analytical results obtained by the approach are compared with those by the strut-tie model approach presented by CEB-FIP, AASHTO LRFD, and ACI 318-02.

This paper is about design for diaphragm of prestressed concrete box bridge using strut-tie model. In this paper, equivalent loads for the diaphragm are computed by considering loading conditions on continuous prestressed concrete box bridge and analyses for both longitudinal section and transverse section of the diaphragm an done by considering the equivalent loading and the prestressing. Based on principal stress trajectory obtained from the analyses, strut-tie model for each sections are constructed. By analyzing the constructed strut-tie model for each sections, the amounts and the locations of reinforcement for the diaphragm are obtained. The application of strut-tie model in this paper shows that the design by soul-tie model for the diaphragm of prestressed concrete box bridges can be rationally performed.

Spent nuclear fuel, which can degrade during long-term storage, must be transported intact in normal transport conditions. In this regard, many studies, including those involving Multi-Modal Transportation Test (MMTT) campaigns, have been conducted. In order to transport the spent fuel safely, a tie-down structure for supporting and transporting a cask containing the spent fuel is essential. To ensure its structural integrity, a method for finding an optimum conceptual design for the tie-down structure is presented. An optimized transportation test model of a tie-down structure for the KORAD-21 metal cask is derived based on the proposed optimization approach, and the transportation test model is manufactured by redesigning the optimized model to enable its producibility. The topology optimization approach presented in this paper can be used to obtain optimum conceptual designs of tie-down structures developed in the future.
