The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of expansion joint spacing (slab size) on the life cycle costs of owning Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) airfield pavements. Previous research has shown that slab size has a statistically significant impact on pavement performance. A probabilistic life cycle cost analysis was performed to determine if the effect of slab size on pavement performance would affect the total cost of ownership of PCC pavements. Data from 48 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) inspections of military and civilian airfields were used to develop probability-of-distress-by-condition curves, which were then used to develop probabilistic cost-of-repair-by-condition curves. A present worth life cycle cost analysis was then performed for various slab sizes, using construction costs, rehabilitation costs, and maintenance costs. Maintenance costs were determined by assuming a condition deterioration rate appropriate for each slab size and applying the cost-by-condition curves. The probabilistic cost-of-repair-by-condition curves indicated that smaller slabs are more expensive to repair on a unit cost basis. Life cycle cost analysis showed that larger slabs have a higher total cost of ownership than smaller slabs due to a faster rate of deterioration.

합성 성페로몬의 담배나방(Helicoverpa assulta (G.))에 대한 생물학적 활성을 알아보기 위하여 촉각전도 측정, 반응 행동 관찰 및 야외 유인실험을 하였다. 담배나방 성페로몬의 주성분인 Z9-16:Aid와 Z11-16:Aid 는 모두 수컷에서 큰 촉각전도반응을 보였으며 이들의 혼합 비율은 촉각전도반응 크기에 영향을 주지 않았다. 담배나방 암컷은 두 페로몬 주성분에 대해서는 촉각전도반응을 나타내지 않았으며, 기주식물인 고추기름에만 큰 촉각전도반응을 보였다. 처리량이 0.01~10 일때는 페로몬의 양이 증가함에 따라서 촉각전도 반응도 증가했으나 100을 처리했을 때에는 오히려 반응의 크기가 줄어들거나 10처리시와 같았다. 풍동에서 담배나방 수컷은 일련의 규칙적인 반응행동들을 나타냈다. 이 반응 행동들은 성페로몬의 두 주성분 비율에 따라 달랐으며, 미량 성분인 16:1 Aid와 Z9-16:Ac 를 첨가했을 때에는 교미행동까지 나타냈다. 야외에서 트랩을 이용하여 유인력을 검정한 결과 Z9-16:Aid와 Z11-16:Aid의 비율이 20~25:1 일 때 유인력이 가장 컸으며 여기에 Z9-16:OH가 첨가되었을때에는 다른 성분의 비율에 관계없이 유인력이 아주 낮았다. 함성 성페로몬의 유인력은 미교미암컷의 유인력보다 강한 것으로 판명되었다

Unlike the innuence of Beethoven on Eliot, that of Bartók has been relatively ignored. Like-for-like parallels between particular poems and specific píeces of music by both of these composers can be dubious enlerprises, and il will here be inlended 10 avoid such an approach. This article will inslead look al critical work which has been done on the string quarlets of Barlók as a more general voice behind the composition of FOllr QuortelS. As a necessary adjuncl, I1 will also consider Ihe degree to which Eliol would have been familiar with these pieces, by examining Iheir performance history and reception in Britain, as well as inlelleclUal comment generated about them in sources familiar to Eliot. Through some parallel analysis of the poetry and Ihe music, and wilh reference to readings, including Eliot's own, of FOllr QllorlelS, il will also be 311empted 10 show how the principlc of motivic development provides an important connection hetween Eliot’s and Bartók’s compositional techniqucs.
