It is essential for geotechnical engineers to conduct studies and make predictions about the stability of slopes, since collapse of a slope may result in catastrophic events. The Gaussian process regression (GPR) approach was carried out for the purpose of predicting the factor of safety (FOS) of the slopes in the study that was presented here. The model makes use of a total of 327 slope cases from Iran, each of which has a unique combination of geometric and shear strength parameters that were analyzed by PLAXIS software in order to determine their FOS. The K-fold (K = 5) technique of cross-validation (CV) was used in order to conduct an analysis of the accuracy of the models' predictions. In conclusion, the GPR model showed excellent ability in the prediction of FOS of slope stability, with an R² value of 0.8355, RMSE value of 0.1372, and MAPE value of 6.6389%, respectively. According to the results of the sensitivity analysis, the characteristics (friction angle) and (unit weight) are, in descending order, the most effective, the next most effective, and the least effective parameters for determining slope stability.

The earth's crust is unceasingly undergoing deformations because of the forces acting upon it. The relationship between the tectonic forces and the resulting deformations are found from the states of stresses in the earth's crust induced by these forces. The study has been attempted to analyze the deformations of the overlying sedimentary layers, which are deformed by the magma intrusion along its lower boundary. The elastic model is constructed to analyze the geologic structures, by means of the theory of elasticity, and then the appropriate boundary conditions are given. The solution of the Airy stress function which satisfies the given boundary conditions is derived from the analytic method. The internal stress distributions of the deformed elastic model layer are portrayed by principal stress trajetories, and then the corresponding potential faults and joints systems are predicted from the Coulomb-Mohr failure criterion. The internal displacement distributions are shown by the calculated displacement components vectors, namely horizontal, vertical and net components. Results of the numerical calculations show the developments of some geologic structures as follows; (1) one set of shear joints and or two sets of shear joints which are oppisite directions, and one set of extension joints parallel to the ${\sigma}_1$ direction, (2) one set of high angle thrusts and normal faults, (3) symmetric fold; both limbs are dipping in opposite direction with low angle. The field work at the Wall-A San area, located near Jinju City, in southern Korea, had accomplished to compare the field structures with the predicted ones. The results of the comparison exhibits the developments of joint and fault systems satisfactorily consistent with each others. But the area does not show any type of folding, in spite of the intrusion of a granodiorite massif, this fact is one of the important features of the whole Kyungsang sedimentary basins of Mesozoic age distributed at the south-eastern parts of Korea. For this reason, it is thought that the magma intrusion had occurred with extremly low pressure. The geologic structures have been modified by the erosion and weathering throughout the geologic time, and the conditions of the sedimentary layers (width, thickness and radius of magma) are not the same as before, being intruded by the magma. To enlighten this, it is preferable to study these geologic structures with analyses of various types of rheological models.

한반도 동남부에 발달하는 양산단층의 주 단층대가 울산시 울주군 두동면 천전리 일대에서 확인되었다. 단층대는 폭 약 100 m에 달하며, 주로 남-북 방향으로 거의 수직에 가까운 고각의 단층대를 이루고 있다. 주 단층대는 주로 남-북 방향의 단층비지 및 단층각력과 함께 이들에 둘러싸인 모암의 렌즈들로 구성된다. 고각의 전단면에서 주로 관찰되는 단층조선은 거의 수평으로 주향이동운동이 가장 우세하게 단층대에 남아 있다. 단층전단감각에 의하면 대부분 우향의 주향이동운동이 우세하다. 동시에 동측으로 중각으로 경사하는 소규모 단층들이 고각의 전단면들을 자르며, 동측의 상반이 서쪽으로 이동한 역단층운동을 보이기도 하여, 주 운동인 우향의 주향이동 이후에 동-서 방향의 압축에 의한 역단층운동이 후속하였음을 지시하고 있다. 또한, 주 단층대 내에는 주로 남-북 방향인 단층대와는 달리 북동-남서 내지는 동-서 방향에 가까운 단층대가 국지적으로 발달하고 있다. 이들은 연속적인 우향의 전단변형의 존재를 지시하는 비대칭 습곡과 함께 발달하고 있음이 특징적이다. 따라서 주 단층대는 우향의 연속적인 변형효과와 후기의 동-서 압축에 의한 효과까지 중첩되어 매우 복잡한 단층대의 기하학적인 양상을 보이고 있다. 이들과 함께 단층대를 부정합으로 피복하는 하성역층 또한 단층운동에 의해 잘려져 있어, 제4기 단층운동의 존재를 지시하고 있다. 이들 제4기 단층은 단층대의 중심부이자 서쪽의 유천층군 화산암과 동쪽의 하양층군 퇴적암이 접하는 경계부 단층면 근처에서 발달하고 있다. 따라서 양산단층의 주 단층대와 단층핵 부분의 파악이 제4기 단층과 활성단층을 찾는데 중요함을 보여주는 좋은 예라고 판단된다.

이 연구에서는 각분해 광전자 분광법(angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy: ARPES)을 시용하여 전하밀도파(chargedensity-wave: CDW)를 형성하는 물질인 $CeTe_2$의 전자구조를 연구하였다. $CeTe_2$의 ARPES 데이터에서는 분산적인 띠들이 분명하게 관찰되었다. $CeTe_2$의 일정에너지(constant energy: CE) 맵에서는 4중 대칭성(fourfold symmetry)이 관찰되었으며, 그 형태가 문헌에 있는 $CeTe_2$의 CE 맵과 유사하였다. 이러한 발견은 $CeTe_2$의 CDW 형성이 $2{\times}2$ 형태의 살창 변형에 의한 것임과 4f 전자들이 $CeTe_2$의 CDW 형성에 별다른 기여를 하지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 이 연구로부터 $CeTe_2$에서 페르미 준위 근처의 전자들은 주로 Te(1) 5p와 Ce 5d 전자들이며 Te(1) 5p 전자들에 의한 띠가 CDW 형성에 기여하고 Ce 5d 전자들에 의한 띠는 CDW 상태에서도 페르미 준위를 가로지르는 금속성을 나타낸다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of implant tilting and the loading direction on the displacement and micromotion (relative displacement between the implant and bone) of immediately loaded implants by in vitro experiments and finite element analysis (FEA). Methods: Six artificial bone blocks were prepared. Six screw-type implants with a length of 10 mm and diameter of 4.3 mm were placed, with 3 positioned axially and 3 tilted. The tilted implants were $30^{\circ}$ distally inclined to the axial implants. Vertical and mesiodistal oblique ($45^{\circ}$ angle) loads of 200 N were applied to the top of the abutment, and the abutment displacement was recorded. Nonlinear finite element models simulating the in vitro experiment were constructed, and the abutment displacement and micromotion were calculated. The data on the abutment displacement from in vitro experiments and FEA were compared, and the validity of the finite element model was evaluated. Results: The abutment displacement was greater under oblique loading than under axial loading and greater for the tilted implants than for the axial implants. The in vitro and FEA results showed satisfactory consistency. The maximum micromotion was 2.8- to 4.1-fold higher under oblique loading than under vertical loading. The maximum micromotion values in the axial and tilted implants were very close under vertical loading. However, in the tilted implant model, the maximum micromotion was 38.7% less than in the axial implant model under oblique loading. The relationship between abutment displacement and micromotion varied according to the loading direction (vertical or oblique) as well as the implant insertion angle (axial or tilted). Conclusions: Tilted implants may have a lower maximum extent of micromotion than axial implants under mesiodistal oblique loading. The maximum micromotion values were strongly influenced by the loading direction. The maximum micromotion values did not reflect the abutment displacement values.

We fabricated In₂O₃ zig-zag nanocolumns(ZZNCs) by oblique angle deposition method based on e-beam evaporator for highly sensitive and selective CH₃COCH₃ sensor. Our results indicate that as the ZZNCs layer stacks, the gas response also increases. In comparison to thin films, ZZNCs at 5 layer show a 117-fold enhancement in gas response and a rapid response time (~2 s). When measured with various gases, it showed a high selectivity towards acetone. Under conditions of 80% R.H., exposure to CH₃COCH₃ gas theoretically indicated a detection limit of 1.2 part-per-billion(ppb). These results suggest the potential of In₂O₃ ZZNCs as a breath analyzer for the diagnosis of diabetes.

This study was conducted to develop a root-removed splice grafting system for cucurbitaceous vegetables, mainly watermelon and cucumber seedlings, for the seedlings factories where currently most of seedlings grafting works are carried out by manual works. The major results of the study are as follows. The dimensions of rootstocks and scions, except cotyledon width, of root- removed splice grafting of watermelon and cucumber were shown to be varied within the 2.5-fold range. The growth status of seedlings were not consistent in terms of cotyledon sprouting direction and angle which were considered as one of the important factors for in root-removed splice grafting. The grafting work of root-removed splice for grafted watermelon and cucumber could be divided by four sub-operations: seedling supplying, cutting, clipping and potting, while a part or all root of the rootstock was removed in the seedlings supplying operation. The cutting angles of the rootstock and scion were $34-45^{\circ}$ and $20-45^{\circ}$, respectively, while the stem length of the scion varied from 6 mm to 12 mm. The splices of rootstock and scion were heaped up in parallel and then fixed by a clip. It indicated that the ideal grafting system, adopting conventional grafting processes of seedlings specifications as well as conventionally manual root-removed splice grafting method, performed very well for seedlings gripping and transporting, supplying clip, clipping and discharging grafted seedlings while workers supplied seedlings to the semi-automatical system.

공압모터는 저렴한 가격, 가벼운 무게, 용이한 조립, 중량대비 힘, 위험한 지역에서도 안전한 내부 구조와 더블어 매우 가혹한 환경에서도 작동하기 때문에 여러 분야의 응용에 매우 매력적이다. 이러한 장점에도 불구하고, 공압모터는 빠르고 정확한 응답을 필요로 하는 용도에 있어서 그 사용을 제한하는 여러 가지 바람직하지 않은 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 바람직하지 않은 특성은 공기의 높은 압축성과 공압모터 구동시스템에 존재하는 비선형성에 기인한다. 본 논문에서는 공압모터의 회전각 제어시 강성을 높이기 위해 3-루프 기반 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 제안하였으며 계단 응답과 외란 부하에 대한 응답 특성을 기존 PID 제어기와 비교 하였다. 공압모터 위치제어에 적용하여 본 결과 공압모터의 위치제어 정밀도는 ${\pm}0.05mm$ 이내로 제어할 수 있으며 부하에 대한 강성은 기존 PID제어기 보다 3.5배 향상됨을 보였다.

We have developed a rigorous heat treatment method to improve the biocompatibility of chitosan as a tissue-engineered scaffold. The chitosan scaffold was prepared by the controlled freezing and lyophilizing method using dilute acetic acid and then it was heat-treated at 110$^{\circ}C$ in vacuo for 1-3 days. To explore changes in the physicochemical properties of the heat-treated scaffold, we analyzed the degree of deacetylation by colloid titration with poly(vinyl potassium sulfate) and the structural changes were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD), and lysozyme susceptibility. The degree of deacetylation of chitosan scaffolds decreased significantly from 85 to 30% as the heat treatment time increased. FT-IR spectroscopic and WAXD data indicated the formation of amide bonds between the amino groups of chitosan and acetic acids carbonyl group, and of interchain hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl groups in the C-6 residues of chitosan and the N-acetyl groups. Our rigorous heat treatment method causes the scaffold to become more susceptible to lysozyme treatment. We performed further examinations of the changes in the biocompatibility of the chitosan scaffold after rigorous heat treatment by measuring the initial cell binding capacity and cell growth rate. Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) adhere and spread more effectively to the heat-treated chitosan than to the untreated sample. When the cell growth of the HDFs on the film or the scaffold was analyzed by an MTT assay, we found that rigorous heat treatment stimulated cell growth by 1.5∼1.95-fold relative to that of the untreated chitosan. We conclude that the rigorous dry heat treatment process increases the biocompatibility of the chitosan scaffold by decreasing the degree of deacetylation and by increasing cell attachment and growth.
