The weakening and softening behavior of soft clay subjected to cyclic loading due to the build-up of excess pore water pressure is well-known. During the design stage of the foundation of highways and coastal high-rise buildings, it is important to study the mechanical behavior of marine soils under cyclic loading as they undergo greater settlement during cyclic loading than under static loading. Therefore, this research evaluates the cyclic stress-strain and shear strength of untreated and treated marine clay under the effects of wind, earthquake, and traffic loadings. A series of laboratory stress-controlled cyclic triaxial tests have been conducted on both untreated and treated marine clay using different effective confining pressures and a frequency of 0.5 and 1.0 Hz. In addition, treated samples were cured for 28 and 90 days and tested under a frequency of 2.0 Hz. The results revealed significant differences in the performance of treated marine clay samples than that of untreated samples under cyclic loading. The treated marine clay samples were able to stand up to 2000 loading cycles before failure, while untreated marine clay samples could not stand few loading cycles. The untreated marine clay displayed a higher permanent axial strain rate under cyclic loading than the treated clay due to the existence of new cementing compounds after the treatment with recycled tiles and low amount (2%) of cement. The effect of the effective confining pressure was found to be significant on untreated marine clay while its effect was not crucial for the treated samples cured for 90 days. Treated samples cured for 90 days performed better under cyclic loading than the ones cured for 28 days and this is due to the higher amount of cementitious compounds formed with time. The highest deformation was found at 0.5 Hz, which cannot be considered as a critical frequency since smaller frequencies were not used. Therefore, it is recommended to consider testing the treated marine clay using smaller frequencies than 0.5 Hz.

C-shaped canal configuration is very difficult to treat because that clues about preoperative canal anatomy cannot be ascertained from clinical crown morphology and limited information can be derived from radiographic examination. This study was done to get more informations about the root and canal configuration of C-shape root by 3-dimensionally reconstructing for the purpose of enhancing success rate of endodontic treatment. 30 mandibular molars with C-shaped root were selected. Six photo images from occlusal, apical, mesial, distal, buccal, lingual directions and radiographic view were taken as preoperative ones to compare them with 3-D image. After crown reduction to the level of 1-2mm over pulpal floor was performed, teeth were stored in 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solution for the removal of pulp tissue and debris. They were cleaned under running water, allowed to bench dry and embedded in a self-curing resin. This resin block was serially ground with a microtome (Accutom-50, Struers, Denmark) and the image of each level was recorded by digital camera (FinePix S1-pro, Fuji Co., Japan). The thickness of each section was 0.25mm. Photographs of serial sections through all root canal were digitized using Adobe Photoshop 5.0 and then minimum thickness of open and closed sites were measured (open site is the surface containing occluso-apical groove closed site is oppsite). After dizitization using 3-D Doctor (Able software Corp, USA). 3D reconstruction of the outer surface of tooth and the inner surface of pulp space was made. Canal classsification of C-shaped roots was performed from this 3-D reconstructed image. The results were as follows : 1. Most C-shape rooted teeth showed lingual groove (28/30). 2 According to Vertuccis' calssification, type I, II, III, IV, VII were observed. but also new canal types suck as 2-3-2, 1-2-3-2. 2-3-2-1, 2-3-2-3 were shown. 3 There was little difference in minimum thickness on coronal and apical portions, but open site were thinner than closed site on mid portion. Conclusively, 3D reconstruction method could make the exact configurations of C-shape root possible to be visualized and analyzed from multi-directions. Data from minimum thickness recommend cleaning and shaping be more carefully done on dangerous mid portion.

Purpose : This study examined the non-toxic and the anti-oxidative effect of Dioscoreae Rhizoma on PC12 cells. Sanyak(Dioscoreae Rhizoma; chinese yam, shan yao) is well-known for its curing power for kidney, lung, spleen. Tonifies and augments the spleen and stomach. Tonifies the lung gi and augments the kidney yin. Tonifies the kidneys and also stabilizes and binds. it also binds the essence and treats spermatorrhea, frequent urination, and vaginal discharge. We are therefore interested in whether Dioscoreae Rhizoma is capable of causing abnormal apoptosis processes, and whether this condition can be rectified through Dioscoreae Rhizoma herb treatment. Methods : We used aqueous extract to treat PC12 cells with different concentrations treated with a water or a MeOH extract of Dioscoreae Rhizoma (0, x10, x20, x40, x80). The MTT (3, (4, 5-dimethyl-thiazol) 2, 5-diphenyl-tetraxolium bromide) reduction assay was employed to quantify the differences in cell activity and viability. The Bax expression level was monitored using western-blotting techniques. The patterns of the changes in expression were scanned and analyzed. Results : Bax and GSK-3${\beta}$ promotes cell death and down-regulated during the development of the PC12 cells. This is indicated that Dioscoreae Rhizoma is capable of inducing apoptosis in PC12 cells. The induced cell death and significantly inhibited by Dioscoreae Rhizoma, which can be explained by the increase in the inhibition of Bax and GSK-3${\beta}$ expression. It was also shown that Dioscoreae Rhizoma inhibits the release of $H_2O_2$ and prevents lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, the accumulation of wild type Bax protein significantly downregulated in a dose-dependent manner upon treatment with Dioscoreae Rhizoma. Conclusion : In conclusion, Dioscoreae Rhizoma can induce apoptosis via a Bax-dependent pathway or GSK-3${\beta}$ dependent pathway in PC12 cells into anti-oxidant and protective effect.

In this study, the adhesive strength of three commercial polycarboxylate cements to ten types of dental casting alloys, such as gold, palladium, silver, indium, copper, nickel, chromium, and human enamel and dentine were measured and compared with that of a conventional zinc phosphate cement. The $8.0mm{\times}3.0mm$ cylindrical alloy specimens were made by casting. The enamel specimens were prepared from the labial surface of human upper incisor, and the dentine specimens were prepared from the occulusal surface of the human molar respectively. Sound extracted human teeth, which had been kept in a fresh condition since, extraction, were mounted in a wax box with a cold-curing acrylic resin to expose the flattened area. The mounted teeth were then placed in a Specimen Cutter (Technicut) and were cut down under a water spray, and then the flat area on the all specimens were ground by hand with 400 and 600 grit wet silicone carbide paper. Two such specimens were then cemented together face-to-face with freshly mixed cement, and moderate finger pressure was applied to squeeze the cement to a thin and uniform film. All cemented specimens were then kept in a thermostatic humidor cabinet regulated at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C.$ and more than 95 per cent relative humidity and tested after 24 hours and 1 week. Link chain was attached to each alloy specimen to reduce the rigidity of the jig assembly, and then all the specimens were mounted in the grips of the Instron Universal Testing Machine, and a tensile load was delivered to the adhering surface at a cross head speed of 0.20 mm/min. The loads to which the specimens were subjected were recorded on a chart moving at 0.50 mm/min. The adhesive strength was determined by measuring the load when the specimen separated from the cement block and by dividing the load by the area. The test was performed in a room at $23{\pm}2^{\circ}C.$ and $50{\pm}10$ per cent relative humidity. A minimum of five specimens were tested each material and those which deviated more than 15 per cent from the mean were discarded and new specimens prepared. From the experiments, the following results were obtained. 1) It was found that the adhesive strength of the polycarboxylate cement to all alloys tested was considerably greater than that of the zinc phosphate cement. 2) The adhesive strength of the polycarboxylate cements was superior to the non precious alloys, such as the copper, indium, nickel and chromium alloys, but it was inferior to the precious gold, silver and palladium alloys. 3) Surface treatment of the alloy was found to be an important factor in achieving adhesion. It appears that a polycarboxylate cement will adhere better to a smooth surface than to a rough one. This contrasts with zinc phosphate cements, where a rough helps mechanical interlocking. 4) The adhesion of the polycarboxylate cement with enamel was found superior to its adhesion with dentine.

PURPOSE. To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide pretreatment and heat activation of silane on the shear bond strength of fiber-reinforced composite posts to resin cement. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The specimens were prepared to evaluate the bond strength of epoxy resin-based fiber posts (D.T. Light-Post) to dual-curing resin cement (RelyX U200). The specimens were divided into four groups (n=18) according to different surface treatments: group 1, no treatment; group 2, silanization; group 3, silanization after hydrogen peroxide etching; group 4, silanization with warm drying at $80^{\circ}C$ after hydrogen peroxide etching. After storage of the specimens in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, the shear bond strength (in MPa) between the fiber post and resin cement was measured using a universal testing machine. The fractured surface of the fiber post was examined using scanning electron microscopy. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and post-hoc analysis with Tukey's HSD test (${\alpha}=0.05$). RESULTS. Silanization of the fiber post (Group 2) significantly increased the bond strength in comparison with the non treated control (Group 1) (P<.05). Heat drying after silanization also significantly increased the bond strength (Group 3 and 4) (P<.05). However, no effect was determined for hydrogen peroxide etching before applying silane agent (Group 2 and 3) (P>.05). CONCLUSION. Fiber post silanization and subsequent heat treatment ($80^{\circ}C$) with warm air blower can be beneficial in clinical post cementation. However, hydrogen peroxide etching prior to silanization was not effective in this study.

최근 환경과 건강에 대한 현대인들의 관심이 높아짐에 따라 인체에 유익한 친환경적인 건축 재료의 연구와 개발이 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 이중 황토에 관한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있으나 강도적인 측면과 건조수축에 의한 균열, 특히 황토의 물에 약한 성질 등으로 아직 건축 재료로써 황토의 활용도는 미비하고 한정적인 실정이다. 현재의 건축 구조물에 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 재료 중의 하나인 시멘트 콘크리트는 경제적이고 재료를 비교적 쉽게 구할 수 있으며 형상가공의 용이성과 적당한 압축강도가 쉽게 얻어지는 이유로 건축, 토목 재료로서 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 하지만 환경문제들을 저감하기 위한 목적으로 최근에 전통적 재료인 황토에 관련된 많은 연구들이 진행되고 있으며, 이에 따른 건축 재료도 개발되고 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 환경 친화적이고 수급이 용이하며 천연재료의 성질을 그대로 지니고 있는 비소성 황토와 산업부산물인 고로슬래그에 각종 자극제를 혼합한 비소성 시멘트를 이용하여 미래에 시멘트를 대체할 수 있는 건축 재료의 기초적인 특성을 제시하고자 한다.

국내 화력발전소의 석탄회 발생량은 매년 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 특히 Fly Ash보다 상대적으로 생산량이 15 % 정도로 적은 저회의 경우 적은 생산량에도 불구하고 재활용률이 낮아 발전소에 단순 매립되어 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 발전소 마다 매립장이 포화상태에 있고, 새로운 매립장 건설이 어려운 상황이다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해서는 매립석탄회를 토목 공사에의 대규모 적용을 촉진하는 방안이 가장 합리적인 방안이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 산업폐기물인 석탄재와 항만 준설을 하면서 대량으로 매립되고 있는 준설토를 혼합한 혼합토의 표층고화처리공법에 대한 적용성을 검토하기 위해서 유동성 및 일축압축시험을 통한 역학적 거동 특성을 연구하였다. 시험결과, 유동성은 준설토와 석탄회 혼합토의 경우 함수비 91-92%에서 유동성 200 mm를 확보하여 우수했고, 준설토 100 %와 모래와 석탄회의 혼합토는 상대적으로 낮은 유동성을 나타냈다. 일축압축강도 역시 준설토와 석탄회의 혼합토는 28일 강도에서 요구 강도 159 kN/㎡을 만족하면서 우수한 결과를 나타냈으나, 그 외 시료들은 요구 강도를 만족하지 못하는 결과를 나타냈다. 본 연구에서는 시멘트와 양생 기간에 따른 압축강도 거동 예측식을 제시하였다.

현장의 목적에 따라 유동성 채움재(Controlled Low-Strength Material, CLSM)의 유동성과 재령일에 따른 강도 특성은 다르게 요구될 수 있으며, 본 연구에서는 현장에 맞는 유동성 채움재의 배합설계가 가능하도록 다중회귀분석을 이용하여 유동성 채움재의 배합 비율로써 강도 및 플로우 특성을 예측하고자 하였다. CSA 팽창재, 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트, 플라이애시, 모래, 실트, 물 그리고 급결제로 구성된 유동성 채움재의 배합비에 따라 플로우값 그리고 12시간 및 7일 강도를 측정하였다. 유동성 채움재의 재료비율을 독립변수로, 측정된 각 특성을 종속변수로 선정 후, 통계 분석 프로그램인 SPSS Statistics 23을 통하여 다중회귀분석을 수행하였으며, 독립변수항이 1~3차식으로 이루어진 회귀모형의 회귀계수를 추정하였다. 회귀분석 결과, 플로우값은 3차식의 모형, 12시간 및 7일 강도는 1차식의 모형으로 설명하는 것이 가장 적절한 것으로 판단하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 CLSM의 플로우값 및 강도 특성에 대한 회귀모형을 통하여, 실험을 수행하기 전, 요구되는 특성에 맞는 배합비를 추정할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
