흙의 전단특성을 조사하기 위하여 다양한 전단시험장치가 사용되고 있다. 특히 흙의 무한변형에 따른 잔류전단강도(residual shear strength)를 측정하고자 할 경우 링전단시험장치가 사용된다. 본 연구는 배수, 압밀 및 전단속도 제어가 가능한 비배수전단강도 측정용 링전단시험장치를 사용하여 전단동안 발생하는 누수현상(water leakage)이 전단특성에 미치는 영향성에 대하여 조사하였다. 실험은 비배수조건에서 동일한 수직응력(50 kPa)을 재하하고 전단속도(0.01, 0.1, 1 mm/sec)를 3단계로 구분하여 적용하였다. 실험결과에 따르면, 동일한 수직응력에서 비배수전단강도는 전단속도에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, 상대적으로 낮은 전단속도(V = 0.01 mm/sec)에서는 변형률 경화 거동(strain hardening behavior)을 보였고 상대적으로 높은 전단속도(V ≥ 0.1 mm/sec)에서는 변형률 연화 거동(strain softening behavior)을 보였다. 시험기 성능평가를 통하여 누수가 발생할 경우 전단속도 크기에 관계없이 전단응력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 누수가 크면 클수록 전단응력이 증가된다. 이러한 실험결과는 전단동안 발생하는 누수로 인한 흙 입자의 재배열과 다짐도의 증가에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 육안조사 및 반복적인 포화와 압밀과정을 통하여 실험오차를 최소화할 수 있는 작업이 필요하다.

기후변화는 이미 지속 가능한 수자원 관리에 영향을 미치고 있다. 기후변화가 댐 저수지의 물 공급에 미치는 영향은 일반적으로 지구 기후 모델 결과 기반으로 생성된 기후변화 시나리오를 사용하여 수행되고 있다. 그러나 기후변화를 추정하기 때문에 시나리오는 미래에 발생할 수도 있는 상황을 가정하는 한계로 인하여 본질적으로 불확실성을 내포하고 있다. 이러한 문제에 대한 대책으로 의사결정 스케일링 접근법을 본 연구에 적용하였다. 연구대상지는 충주, 용담, 합천, 섬진강 댐이다. 강우 유출 모형(IHACRES)과 HEC-ResSim기반 댐 운영 모형을 결합하여 댐 이수 안전도를 분석하였다. 이 수안전도 분석은 안정적인 댐 운영에 목적을 두고 그 결과에 따라 구조적 또는 비구조적 이수공급 계획을 수립하는데 활용하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이수안전도 분석으로 댐이 안전하게 운영될 수 있는지를 평가하고 장래 댐 운영 중 발생할 수 있는 잠재적인 위험을 식별하기 위함이다. 1995년 부터 2014년까지 관측된 강수량과 온도를 기준으로 49개의 기후스트레스 시나리오(분위 수 기준 7개의 강수 시나리오와 0℃부터 6℃도까지 1℃ 간격의 7개의 온도 시나리오)를 적용하였다. 그 결과 홍수기 강우 변동이 비홍수기의 강우 증가보다 수위 상승에 더 큰 변화를 가져왔다. 따라서 이수 안전도는 1분위 강우 의존성이 매우 높은 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 강수 및 온도를 결합한 시나리오에서 댐 용수 공급 신뢰도는 개별 강수 및 온도 시나리오 신뢰도 변화의 합계보다 더 큰 변화가 모의되었다. 이러한 차이는 강수량의 감소와 증가가 각각 물과 에너지가 제한된 증발량의 발생으로 초래하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 수행한 의사결정 스케일링을 통한 이수안전도 평가는 댐 운영의 효율성 향상을 도모할 것으로 평가된다.

The flow properties of water added com-cob-mix(CCM) were studied in order to provide basic information for designing its pumping system. For the study, a model system similar to actual situation was constructed. From the experiment, it can be concluded that the flow properties of the water added CCM has close relationship with its moisture content as follows; 1. The pressure drop caused by friction was very low when the moisture content of water added CCM was more than 70%. However, when the moisture content of the material is about 60%, the pressure drop increases up to 10 kPa/m at low pumping speed, and 20 kPa/m at high pumping speed, respectively. 2. The water added CCM having about 65% moisture content showed pseudo-plastic flow characteristics. 3. As the moisture content of the material decreases, the shear stress increases more rapidly than the shear rate does. Finally, below approximately 60% moisture, the shear stress becomes a linear relationship with the shear rate. 4. It was possible to pump the material having the moisture content down to 58% through a pipe having 80 mm diameter by a pump operating at 234 rpm. However, by either increasing the diameter of the pipe or decreasing the pumping speed, it can be possible to pump the material having lower moisture content than 55%.

We investigated physiological changes in the freshwater cichlid, fish Maylandia lombardoi in response to different calcium concentrations in rearing water. Four different calcium concentrations (0, 2, 4 and 8 mM) were prepared in rearing water by the addition of ionized calcium (CaO) to examine the effect of various calcium concentrations in rearing water on physiological changes in the cichlid fish, M. lombardoi. Total calcium concentrations in plasma and body increased in a calcium concentration-dependent manner and reached the maximum at 8-mM calcium concentration. Stress-related cortisol was significantly decreased in the 8-mM group compared to the control group (0 mM). Lysozyme activity also significantly decreased in the 8-mM group. These results suggest that CaO in rearing water increases calcium uptake in fish and affects the body by decreasing stress and improving immunity in fish.

This paper was investigation of the stres corrosion cracking(SCC) mechanism and the properties of corrosion fracture surface of glass fiber reinforced plastics(GFRP) produced by hand lay up(HLU) method in synthetic sea water. Test material is GFRP, that was used vinylester type epoxy acrylate resin and an unsaturated polyester as the matrix and the chopped strand mat(CSM) type E-glss fiber as the reinforcement. The slow strain rate test(SSRT) was performed on dry, wet and saturated wet specimens in sea water. Here the pH concentration of synthetic sea water was 8.2 and the strain rate is 1 x $10^{-6}$($sec^{-1}$) and test temperature ranges varied from $-60^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$. It could be confirmed the fact that wet specimens tested at a particular test temperature ranges were appeared the eviences of SCC such as con-planar, mirror and hackle zone. Moreover, SCC of GFRP in sea water was characterised by falt fracture surfaces with only small amounts of fiber pull-out, in partial.

Traditionally, 5 kinds of fruits with "ja(子)" in their name, including Rubus coreanus, Schisandra chinensis, Lycinum chineuse, Torilidis fructus, and Cuscuta seed, collectively called Oja(五子), are long known to enhance stamina. In the present study, we replaced tosaja with gyeolmyeongja(Cassiae semen ) and examined the effects of extracts from these fruits on andropause. This study investigated the antioxidant effect and testosterone synthesis of Oja water extract on Leydig TM3 cells. To investigate whether hydrogen peroxide induces oxidative stress in Leydig cells, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide(MTT) assay, nitric oxide assay, and testosterone assay were performed on mouse Leydig TM3 cells. The results were obtained as follows: Leydig TM3 cells viability was assessed by a modified MTT assay, and the protection effect of Oja water extract against hydrogen peroxide-induced cell oxidative stress were examined by mitochondrial activity. Oja water extract could efficiently protect cytotoxicity induced by H₂O₂. Oja water extract promoted testosterone synthesis. These results suggest that Oja water extract has protective roles and promotes steroidogenesis in Leydig cells through its anti-oxidant action.

The effects of waterborne arsenic (As) exposure on bioaccumulation and antioxidant defenses were examined in the liver and gills of tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, under thermal stress. Tilapia were exposed to different As concentrations (0, 200, and $400{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) at three water temperatures (20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$) for 20 days. After As exposure, higher levels of As accumulation were observed in the gills compared with the liver in elevated water temperatures. In terms of the antioxidant response, glutathione (GSH) levels and the activities of glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione S-transferase (GST) significantly decreased in the liver and gills of tilapia exposed to As for 20 days, regardless of the As concentration (200 and $400{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$) or water temperature. These enzyme activities exhibited greater fluctuations in the liver and gills of tilapia after As exposure in water warmer than $20^{\circ}C$. The present findings suggest that the simultaneous stress of temperature change and As exposure can accelerate As accumulation and alter the antioxidant enzymes activities of tilapia.

A water jet propeller is a key component that generates propulsion during the start of a naval vessel. When failure or breakage occurs, the vessel cannot operate. Recently, a flow analysis and structural analysis were conducted to understand the cause of damage to a bolt on a water jet. In particular, the stress and strain acting on the fastening bolt (impeller shaft and tail shaft) were examined to determine the extent of misalignment between the impeller shaft and the tail shaft of the water jet propeller. The study determined that stress and strain were concentrated on the impeller shaft and the tail shaft bolt. The alignment of the propeller impeller shaft and the tail shaft increased significantly in response to the tail shaft bolt. Failure of the tail shaft bolt fastening can lead to misalignment between the impeller shaft and the tail shaft.

Here, upon acute (96 h) and chronic (14 days) exposure, ingestion of polystyrene NPs (100 nm) and physiological, biochemical, and cholinergic modulations were analyzed in the water flea Moina macrocopa exposed to different concentrations (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 ㎍ l^-1). Exposed NPs were observed in the internal organs (e.g., digestive tract and foregut) of the water flea. Chronic exposure to the relatively high concentrations resulted in significant decreases in survival, body length, and the total number of molts, whereas reproduction parameter was not affected. Significant increase in oxidative stress biomarker (malondialdehyde) and decrease in the intracellular content of endogenous antioxidant (glutathione) and enzymatic activity of antioxidant enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione S-transferase) were detected in response to relatively high concentrations of NPs. Transcriptional expression of the hsp70 gene was increased in response to relatively high concentrations of NPs, whereas acetylcholinesterase activity was lowered by the same concentrations of NPs. Taken together, NPs exposure would be a significant modulator on physiological and biochemical metabolism of water flea.

This research addresses experimentally the relationship between the excitation frequency and both hoop and axial wall stresses in a water storage tank. A low-density polyethylene tank with six different aspect ratios (water level to tank radius) was tested using a shake table. A laminar box with sand represents a soil site to simulate Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). Sine excitations with eight frequencies that cover the first free vibration frequency of the tank-water system were applied. Additionally, Ricker wavelet excitations of two different dominant frequencies were considered. The maximum stresses are compared with those using a nonlinear elastic spring-mass model. The results reveal that the coincidence between the excitation frequency and the free-vibration frequency of the soil-tank-water system increases the sloshing intensity and the rigid-like body motion of the system, amplifying the stress development considerably. The relationship between the excitation frequency and wall stresses is nonlinear and depends simultaneously on both sloshing and uplift. In most cases, the maximum stresses using the nonlinear elastic spring-mass model agree with those from the experiments.
