It is well known when porous calcium phosphate ceramics are used as a bone graft substitute, new tissues or blood vessels are grown into the porous implant due to their excellent biocompatibility. In this study, the ${\beta}$-crystalline form of calcium metaphosphate, $Ca(PO_{3})_{2}$ is prepared by the controlled thermolysis of monocalcium phosphate, $Ca(H_{2}PO_{4})_{2}$. The diameter of cylindrical pores formed during cooling was controlled by a holding time at the melting point of a monocalcium phosphate and by the change of a recrystallization temperature, to obtained the most appropriate size (about $200{\mu}m$) of pores. It was observed that the increasing holding time at the melting point of monocalcium phosphate results in the decreases of pore sizes.

The influence of polyethylene glycol derivatives on heparin release from cylindrical monolithic type silicone segment devices was examined in physical saline solution. This water-soluble carrier caused the devices to absorb the water in aqueous media. The release rate of heparin from the devices was increased as molecular weight of polyethylene glycol was increased. Water soluble carrier incorporated into silitone segment devices permits controlled release of heparin that otherwise would be released extremly slowly from the polymer. Heparin released from the silicone segment containing polyethylene glycol showed the first-order kinetics. Without changing the release-pattern, the release rate of heparin could be controlled by varing molecular weight of polyethylene glycol, the water-soluble carrier and depleting polyethylene glycol on the outlayer of devices. The mechanism of release probably showed the creation of pore or microdomine through the devices secondary to the swelling.

Cylindrical specimens with different levels of density have been submitted to uniaxial compression tests with loading and unloading cycles. The analysis of the elastic loadings shows a non linear elasticity which can be mathematically represented by means of a potential law. Results are explained by assuming that the total elastic strain is the contribution of two terms one deriving from the hertzian deformation of the contacts among particles and another that takes into account the linear elastic deformation of the powder skeleton. A simple model based in an one pore unit cell is presented to support the mathematical model.

The cylindrical ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were prepared using amorphous alumina and pore generating agent. Its were immersed in aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH, Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH and HNO$_3$, and Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and HNO$_3$. The pellets thus were hydrothermally treated at 20$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in autoclave, and were investigated morphologies and changes of crystal pore characteristics, $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms, active sites and mechanical strength etc. According to the preparation method, acicular platelet pseudo-boehmite crystals of 0.1~0.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size were transformed into acicular pseudo-boehmite cristals of 0.5~2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ size having the same crystal structure. When ${\gamma}$-alumina pellets were immersed in aqueous solution of the mixture of Fe(NO$_3$)$_3$.9$H_2O$ and $CH_3$COOH and then were hydrothermally treated, pore volume between 100 $\AA$ and 1000 $\AA$ was increased from 0.34 ㏄/g to 0.86 ㏄/g, and the gap of $N_2$ adsorption and desorption hysteresis loop was decreased due to increasement of pore size. New active site that could adsorb the C-H functional group was created on the catalist. Also, mechanical strength of catalyst was increased from 1.06 ㎫ to 1.36 ㎫.

The micropyles on the prefertilized and artificial fertilized eggs of Epinephelus fasciatus were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The micropyles ($6.6{\pm}0.41\;{\mu}m$) of E. fasciatus eggs were found in the animal pole and theirs shape were observed as a flat crateriform of cylindrical shape. The micropylar vestibule arranged by 6~7 thickened spiral annuli on the ridge and contributed to differentiate and form fertilization cone for blocking to polyspermy by presenting swollen vestibule structure. As E. fasciatus eggs was pelagic, so chorionic surface was an uneven structures such as circular and fillar form nodules. Especially, various pores (0.15~0.55 ${\mu}m$, 230~270 pores) distributed at the only around micropyles, those pores radiately exhibited regular projection structures showing gill filament-shape. These ultrastructural characters of E. fasciatus eggs can be utilized in a taxonomical cue of grouper species.

Soil tests are generally conducted using a membrane to measure a pore water pressure. However, it has also been recognized that the membrane penetrates into the specimen by the change of the confining pressure, and it results in the erroneous measurement in the pore water pressure and the volumetric strain. This study examined the effectiveness of the correction equation of the membrane penetration on the basis of the experimental data acquired during the isotropic unloading and the cyclic shear process using the hollow cylindrical shear test equipment. The results showed that the membrane penetration by the correction equation could be overestimated when the mean effective stress was lower than 20kPa in this study. The limitations originated from the sudden increase near the zero effective stress, and in order to prevent the overestimation in low effective stress condition, the use of the constant a was proposed in this study. Furthermore, the correction equation for the membrane penetration had to be applied carefully when the initial relative density was high and the density changes were occurred by the relocation of the soil particle by the liquefaction.

The coefficient of consolidation of clay deposit is one of the most important properties in the design of ground improvement. The in-situ value of $c_h$ is generally estimated by pore pressure dissipation using piezocone. Many researchers have suggested theoretical formula for its estimation. This study attempts to find out the validity of the existing theoretical formula in Korea and to find out the characteristics of $c_h$ related to the mechanical properties of clay. Piezocone tests and laboratory tests were performed at the site of pilot project of ground improvement at Yangsan-Mulgeum, Gyeongnam. Comparison of the estimated values of $c_h$using piezocone tests results and those from laboratory consolidation tests are carried out. Results show that Torstensson(cylindrical cavity theory) and Teh & Houlsby solutions derive similar values of $c_h$. And $c_h$ from oedometer test shows values similar to the above two methods. The value from either of the above two methods[Torstensson(cylindrical) or Teh & Houlsby] is recommended to be used as $c_h$.

The relative permeabilities, distribution coefficients and diffusion coefficient of some salts which are important components in blood plasma through a poly(HEMA) membrane were measured. The crosslinker which was used for preparing the membrane was tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), the weight percentage of the latter was about 2.8. We found that the diffusion coefficients ($D_m$) of the solutes decrease exponentially with increasing molecular weight, and also that $D_m$'s decrease linearly (except urea) with cylindrical radius (a). These facts were explained by a sieve pore flow model. The relative permeability and diffusion coefficient of urea at various temperature were larger than those of other solutes such as glycine, ${\beta}$-alanine, D-glucose, saccharose and maleic acid. The result indicates that the poly(HEMA) membrane might be suitable for hemodialysis application.

This paper investigates the effect of the width of failure and tension crack (TC) on the stability of cohesive-frictional soil slopes in three dimensions. Working analytically, the slip surface and the tension crack are considered to have spheroid and cylindrical shape respectively, although the case of tension crack having planar, vertical surface is also discussed; the latter was found to return higher safety factor values. Because at the initiation of a purely rotational slide along a spheroid surface no shear forces develop inside the failure mass, the rigid body concept is conveniently used; in this respect, the validity of the rigid body concept is discussed, whilst it is supported by comparison examples. Stability tables are given for fully drained and fully saturated slopes without TC, with non-filled TC as well as with fully-filled TC. Among the main findings is that, the width of failure corresponding to the minimum safety factor value is not always infinite, but it is affected by the triggering factor for failure (e.g., water acting as pore pressures and/or as hydrostatic force in the TC). More specifically, it was found that, when a slope is near its limit equilibrium and under the influence of a triggering factor, the minimum safety factor value corresponds to a near spherical failure mechanism, even if the triggering factor (e.g., pore-water pressures) acts uniformly along the third dimension. Moreover, it was found that, the effect of tension crack is much greater when the stability of slopes is studied in three dimensions; indeed, safety factor values comparable to the 2D case are obtained.
