Due to the construction technique (or the construction culture) growth in and out of Korea, newly-developed insulation have been continuously released. Furthermore, all legislation and regulation that World follows are gradually becoming unified. (e.g. FTA(Free Trade Agreement) with the United States was contracted, and inevitable FTA contraction with EU and China). In addition, insulation type, with the purpose are becoming unified. Accordingly, KS F 2803 legislated in 1966 about the Domestic Insulation Standard including traditionally used insulation(Rockwool, Fiberglass, Polystrene, Polyurethan, Perlite) has to be amended by considering International Standard and the alternatives. This reference is going to make description for solution of contradiction.

The optimal design and combustion analysis of the gas generator for Liquid Rocket Engine (LRE) were performed. A fuel-rich gas generator in open cycle turbopump system was designed for 10ton$_{f}$ in thrust with RP-1/Lox propellant. The optimal design was done for maximizing specific impulse of main combustion chamber with constraints of combustion temperature and power matching required by turbopump system. Design variables were selected as total mass flow rate to gas generator, O/F ratio in gas generator, turbine injection angle, partial admission ratio, and turbine rotational speed. Results of optimal design show the dimension of length, diameter, and contraction ratio of gas generator. Also, the combustion test was conducted to evaluate the performance of injector and combustion chamber. And the effect of the turbulence ring was investigated on the mixing enhancement in the chamber.r.

The use of mathematical modelling in the study of epidemiological disorders continues to grow substantially. In order to better support global policy initiatives and explain the possible consequence of an outbreak, mathematical models were constructed to forecast how epidemic illnesses spread. In this paper, fractional derivatives and (${\varpi}$ - F_𝓒)-contractions are used to explore the existence and uniqueness solutions of the novel coronavirus-19 model.

A solvent extraction technique, using bis (2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid, (HDEHP), as the extractant, was employed to examine some characteristical difference between lighter and heavier parts of 4f series. Some difference in temperature dependencies of the distribution ratios between the two groups were observed for the aqueous systems of H$_2$SO$_4$ and HCI. This experimental results were tentatively assigned as the difference in the ability of formation of inner coordination complex with HDEHP derived from the lanthanon contraction.

Porous mullites were fabricated using $Al(OH)_3$ and amorphous $SiO_2$ as starting materials by reaction sintering method. The molar ratios of alumina and silica varied from stoichiometric mullite composition to silica-rich and alumina-rich compositions. $AlF_3$ of 0, 1, 5, 10 wt% wad added to each composition, and the effects of composition and the additive for the formation of mullite were examined. The temperature of mullite formation decreased as the amount of $AlF_3$ increased, and themullite phase was formed in the stoichiometric composition in addition of 5 wt% $AlF_3$ at $1250^{\circ}C$ and porous whiskered mullite were synthesized in the sample sintered at $1300^{\circ}C$ and higher temperature. The effect of temperature on the mullite formation was not observed for the sample with 5 wt% or higher content of $AlF_3$, and the body showed little contraction after sintering.

The electromagnetic and thermal properties of a heavy fermion $CeNi_2Ge_2$ are investigated using first-principle methods with local density approximation (LDA) and fully relativistic approaches. The Ce f-bands are located near the Fermi energy $E_F$ and hybridized with the Ni-3d states. This hybridization plays important roles in the characteristics of this material. The fully relativistic approach shows that the 4f states split into $4f_{7/2}$ and $4f_{5/2}$ states due to spin-orbit coupling effects. It can be found that within the LDA calculation, the density of states near the Fermi level are mainly of Ce-derived 4f states. The Ni-derived 3d states have high peaks around -1.7eV and spreaded over wide range around the Fermi level. The calculated magnetic of $CeNi_2Ge_2$ with LDA method does not match with that of experimental result because of strong correlation interaction between electrons in f orbitals. The calculations show that the specific heat coefficient underestimates the experimental value by a factor of 19.1. The discrepancy between the band calculation and experiment for specific heat coefficient is attributed to the formation of a quasiparticle. Because of the volume contraction, the exchange interaction between the f states and the conduction electrons is large in $CeNi_2Ge_2$, which increases the quasiparticle mass. This will result in the enhancement of the specific hear coefficient.

To elucidate the physiological characteristics of histamine receptor of the isolated renal artery in dog, effects of various receptor blockers and $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ channel blockers on the contractile responses of histamine were investigated in the isolated renal artery of dog. The results were summarized as follows: 1. Histamine caused the contraction in the isolated renal artery of dog, and the contractile responses increased between the concentration of $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ and $10^{-2}M$ in dose-dependent manner. 2. The contractile response induced by histamine ($10^{-3}M$) was not blocked by pretreatment with atropine ($10^{-6}M$), phentolamine ($10^{-6}M$), propranolol ($10^{-6}M$) or cimetidine ($10^{-6}M$), but was completely blocked by pretreatment with pyrilamine ($10^{-6}M$). 3. The contractility induced by histamine ($10^{-3}M$) was decreased in the $Ca^{{+}{+}}$ free medium. 4. The contractile response induced by histamine ($10^{-3}M$) was markedly inhibited by pretreatment with papaverine ($5{\times}10^{-5}M$) or verapamil ($5{\times}10^{-5}M$). 5. After the pre-contraction induced by norepinephrine ($10^{-7}M$) or prostaglandin $F2{\alpha}$ ($5{\times}10^{-6}M$), the contractile response induced by the additional treatment of histamine ($10^{-3}M$) was markedly increased compared with that of histamine ($10^{-3}M$) alone.

A computer-based low back muscle evaluation system was designed to simultaneously acquire, process, display, quantify, and correlate electromyographic(EMG) activity with muscle force, and range of motion(ROM) in the lumbar muscle of human. This integrated multi-channel system was designed around notebook PC. Each channel consisted of a time and frequency domain block, and T-F(time-frequency) domain block. The captured data in each channel was used to display and Quantify : raw EMG, histogram, zero crossing, turn, RMS(root mean square), variance, mean, power spectrum, median frequency, mean frequency, wavelet transform, Wigner-Ville distribution, Choi-Williams distribution, and Cohen-Posch distribution. To evaluate the performance of the designed system, the static and dynamic contraction experiments from lumbar(waist) level of human were done. The experiment performed in five subjects, and various parameters were tested and compared. This system could equally well be modified to allow acquisition, processing, and analysis of EMG signals in other studies and applications.

Delayed healing associated with distal limb wounds is highly challenging in equine clinical practice. This study aimed to evaluate healing rates between chronic non-granulating wounds of horse distal limbs that were treated with maltodextrin/ascorbic acid gel alone or in combination with povidone-iodine 1% solution and those treated with povidone-iodine 1% only throughout the study period (35 days) in clinical settings. The study was conducted on 18 adult horses (3-15 years old). Based on the treatment regimen utilized, the horses were divided into three groups (n = 6), with each group having a similar mean wound area. The percentages of wound contraction, epithelialization, and overall wound healing were determined weekly for each wound. By the end of the study, the total wound healing percentage was significantly increased between the study groups (p < 0.05). The use of maltodextrin/ascorbic acid gel resulted in considerable wound contraction, rapid epithelialization, and complication-free wound healing. Based on the findings of this study, maltodextrin/ascorbic acid gel, independently or in combination with a 1% povidone-iodine solution, might be applied as a safe and effective wound healing promoting agent in horses with chronic non-granulating wounds.

In the present study, we observed change in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$$([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ as measured with the fluorescent $Ca^{2+}-indicator$ fura-2 in association with force development of the rat basilar arteries during activation by$K^+$ depolarizing solution and U46619, a thromboxane analogue, in the absence and the presence of calcitonin-gent related peptide (CGRP). CGRP (30 and 100 nM) caused a concentration-dependent inhibition of U46619-induced contraction with decrease in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, whereas it did not exert any effect on the $K^+$ (90 mM)-induced contraction and increase in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, Further, $[Ca^{2+}]_i-force$ relationships were determined by plotting the ratio of $F_{340}/F_{380}$ $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ as a function of the force induced by U46619, and the results were compared with those obtained in the presence of CGRP. The curves obtained in the presence of CGRP (30 and 100 nM) were significantly moved to downward without right shift of the curves suggesting that CGRP inhibited the U46619-induced contraction only by mediation of reduction in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ with out any change in the sensitivity of contractile apparatus to $Ca^{2+}$. The CGRP-induced attenuation of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ and force development was significantly inhibited under pretreatment with CGRP $(8{\sim}37)$ fragment (100 nM), a CGRP1 receptor antagonist. Both the reduced contraction and reduction in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ caused by CGRP were fully reversed by pretreatment with charybdotoxin (100 nM) and iberiotoxin (100 nM), large conductance $Ca^{2+}-activated$ $K^+$ channel blockers, but not by apamin (300 nM), a small conductance $Ca^{2+}-activated$ $K^+$ channel blocker, and glibenclamide ( 1 ${\mu}M$), an ATP-sensitive $K^+$ channel blocker. In conclusion, it is suggested that the CGRP1 receptor, upon activation by CGRP, are coupled to opening of $Ca^{2+}-activated$ $K^+$ channel and cause to decrease in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$, thereby leading to vasodilation of the rat basilar artery. However, it is not defined that the mechanism underlying vasodilation whether the $K^+$ channel blockers, charybdotoxin and iberiotoxin directly block the CGRP receptors and that CGRP-evoked relaxation is dependent on the cyclic AMP or $K^+$ channel opening or both actions.
