As concrete ages, the surrounding environment is expected to have growing influences on the concrete. As all the impacts of the environment cannot be considered in the strength-estimating model of a nondestructive concrete test, the increase in concrete age leads to growing uncertainty in the strength-estimating model. Therefore, the variation of the model error increases. It is necessary to include those impacts in the probability model of concrete strength attained from the nondestructive tests so as to build a more accurate reliability model for structural performance evaluation. This paper reviews and categorizes the existing strength-estimating statistical models of nondestructive concrete test, and suggests a new form of the strength-estimating statistical models to properly reflect the model uncertainty due to aging of the concrete. This new form of the statistical models will lay foundation for more accurate structural performance evaluation.

Tensile and J-R tests were carried out to estimate the effects of dynamic strain aging(DSA) on SA106Gr.C piping steel. Tensile tests were performed under temperature range RT to $400^{\circ}C$ md strain rates from $1.39{\times}10^{-4}\;to\;6.95{\times}10^{-2}/s$. Fracture toughness was tested in the temperature range RT to $350^{\circ}C$ and load-line displacement rates 0.4 and 4mm/min. The effects of DSA on the tensile properties were clearly observed for phenomena such serrated flow, variation of ultimate and yield stress, and negative stram rate sensitivity. However, the magnitude of serration and strength increase by DSA was relatively small. this may be due to high ratio of Mn to C. In addition, crack initiation resistance, Ji and crack growth resistance, dJ/da were reduced in the range of $200-300^{\circ}C$, where DSA appeared as serrated flow and UTS hardening. The temperature corresponding to minimum fracture resistance was shifted to higher temperature with increasing loading rate.

The microstructure, electrical and dielectric properties, and stability against DC accelerated aging stress of the varistors, which are composed of quaternary system $ZnO-Pr_6O_{11}CoO-Cr_2O_3-based$ ceramics, were investigated for different $La_2O_3$ contents. The increase of $La_2O_3$ content led to more densified ceramics, whereas abruptly decreased the nonlinear properties by incorporating beyond 1.0mol%. The highest nonlinearity was obtained from 0.5mol% $La_2O_3$, with the nonlinear coefficient of 81.6 and the leakage current of $0.1{\mu}A$. The varistors doped with 0.5mol% $La_2O_3$ exhibited high stability, in which the variation rates of breakdown voltage, nonlinear coefficient, leakage current, dielectric constant, and dissipation factor were -1.1%, -3.7%, +100%, +1.4%, and +8.2%, respectively, for stressing state of $0.95V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24h$.

Thyristor breakdown voltage variation acceleration aging test was investigated. The breakdown voltage was deceased after 1000 hours acceleration aging test. It temperature rising caused by electric field concentration at the edge beveling region of the thyristor was confirmed using Silvaco device simulation. The local temperature rising is driving force for the defect propagation. Consequently, propagated defects of the beveling region seems to decrease thyristor's breakdown voltage.

This study was conducted to identify the effect of chilling temperature (-3 and $6^{\circ}C$) and aging (1- and 7-day) on objective meat quality, collagen solubility, and free amino acids in pork (longissimus muscle of Yorkshire). Warner-Bratzler (WB)-shear force indicated that variation in chilling temperature had no detectable effect on meat tenderness and tenderization during the 7-day aging period. Among the 13 detected free amino acids, only 3 amino acids (histidine, valine, leucine) were significantly affected by the temperature treatment (p<0.05). Collagen solubility was significantly increased at $6^{\circ}C$ treatment (p<0.05). There was a significant linear relationship (r=0.67, p<0.05) between changes in free amino acids and WB-shear force during the 7-day aging period. These results confirmed that chilling conditions had significantly affected collagen solubility, and meat tenderization occurred in direct proportion to an increase in free amino acids.

필댐의 코어죤은 차수 기능을 담당하는 댐의 중요한 요소이다. 따라서 코어죤의 물성 및 거동 특성은 댐의 안정성 해석에 있어서 아주 중요한 요소이나, 지금까지 실제 댐 코어의 물성에 대한 연구는 아주 드물었다. 댐 코어의 물성은 표면파 탐사 또는 경험식과 같은 간접적인 방법에 의해 획득되거나 추정되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 기존 댐의 해체 과정에서 수행된 현장 및 실내시험 결과의 분석을 통하여, 댐 건설 후 코어죤 물성의 시간적 변화와 깊이별 특성에 대해 직접적으로 조사를 수행하였다. 실제 댐 코어의 전단파 속도와 전단탄성계수가 측정되었고, 기존의 경험식과 비교하였다. 아울러, 일련의 실내실험을 통하여 동적물성의 에이징 특성도 연구하였다.

Precipitation and strengthening mechanisms in squeeze cast Mg-8.5wt%Li-4.5wt%Al have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), in-situ and ex-situ X-ray diffraction analysis and hardness measurement. Special emphasis was placed on the investigation of the precipitation behavior by the DSC technique. Microstructural and calorimetric analysis showed that ${\theta}$ and ${\delta}$ precipitates in the b.c.c. ${\beta}$ phase matrix, forming two exothermic peaks at the temperature ranges of $130^{\circ}C{\sim}180^{\circ}C$ and $236^{\circ}C{\sim}280^{\circ}C$. ${\theta}$ and ${\delta}$ dissolve into the matrix forming an endothermic peak at the temperature range of $280^{\circ}C{\sim}352^{\circ}C$. The as-cast microstructure consists of ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$ and ${\delta}$. Peak strength was obtained after aging for 1 hour at $50^{\circ}C$. The aging time required for the peak strength decreased as the aging temperature increases. The hardness decrease during overaging was due to the coarsening of ${\theta}$ precipitates. Microhardness measurement showed that variation of the hardness of ${\beta}$ matrix was more pronounced than that of the ${\alpha}$ phase, indicating that the ${\beta}$ phase is more responsible for the strengthening of the Mg-8.5wt%Li-4.5wt%Al alloy.

Objective: The length of anterior-posterior commissure (AC-PC) in racial groups, age, gender of patients with deep brain stimulation (DBS) and pallidotomy were investigated. Methods: From January 1996 to December 2003, 211 patients were treated with DBS and pallidotomy. There were 160 (76%) Caucasians, 35 (17%) Hispanics, 12 (5%) Asians and 4 Blacks (2%). There were 88 males and 52 females in DBS-surgery group and 44 males, 27 females in pallidotomy group. Mean age was 58 year-old. There were 19 males and 19 females and mean age was 54.7 years in the control group. Measurements were made on MRI and @Target software. Results: The average AC-PC distance was 24.89 mm (range 32 to 19), which increased with aging until 75 years old in Caucasian and also increased with aging in Hispanic, but the AC-PC distance peaked at 45 years old in Hispanic. The order of AC-PC distance were $24.6{\pm}2$ mm in Caucasian, $24.6{\pm}2.24$ mm in Asian, 24.53 mm in Black, $23.6{\pm}1.98$ mm in Hispanic. The average AC-PC distance in all groups was 24.22 mm in female who was mean age of 56.35, 25.28 mm in male who was mean age of 60.19 and $24.5{\pm}2$ mm in control group that was excluded because of the difference of thickness of slice. According to multiple regression analysis, the AC-PC distance was significantly correlated with age, race, and gender. Conclusion: The AC-PC distance is significantly correlated with age, gender, and race. The atlas of functional stereotaxis would be depended on the Variation of indivisual brain that can influenced by aging, gender, and race.

Titanium hydride potassium perchlorate (THPP)는 항공우주분야에서 일반적으로 널리 사용되는 불꽃점화장치중 하나이다. 현 연구에서는 THPP에 수분 열 노화를 가했을 때, 연소과정에 끼치는 영향과 변화된 결과들을 실험적으로 밝혀내었다. 우선, Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)와 isoconversional method를 적용하여 노화된 THPP 시료의 반응개시지연 및 최대반응속도의 저하를 확인하였다. 반응속도 파라미터는 첫 번째 반응에서 Viton에 의해 낮아지며 후에 잔류한 $KClO_4$의 영향으로 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)를 통해 노화된 THPP 시료에서 산화제 성분은 감소하고 연료산화효과가 두드러짐을 확인하였다. 또한 NASA Chemical Equilibrium with Applications (CEA)을 사용하여 얻은 이론발열량이 DSC로부터 구한 실험적 발열량과 비슷한 경향을 따르므로 실험적으로 구한 발열량 트렌드가 타당함을 검증할 수 있었다.

New biochemical and genetic markers will be required to be more successful in the prevention of coronary heart disease. Postprandial lipid metabolism has received considerable attention since it was shown that postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins are independently involved in the development of atherosclerosis. Multiple genes and environmental factors work in concert to alter these lipid. In this paper, postprandial lipemia, genetic variation and cardiovascular risk will be reviewed.
