The target in the design of base isolated structures is the selection of isolation system properties so that optimal performance is achieved among seismic levels and performance metrics. To withstand very rare ground motions, isolation system are frequently designed with significant strength or damping, and as a result such devices provide reduced isolation effect for more frequent seismic events. To investigate improvements to the design of isolated structures, a lot of research program is performed. Experimental investigations are presented to characterize smart base isolation capable of progressively exhibiting different hysteretic properties at different stages of response. Shear tests are conducted along the ISO standard, including harmonic characterizations tests. These tests included various input intensities, multi-component excitation. Behavior of the new smart base isolation system is compared with that of linear isolation systems with both nonlinear viscous and bilinear hysteretic energy dissipation mechanisms.

In this study, wind fragility for anchor systems installed at sign structures was developed through Monte Carlo simulation method. The fragility is a conditional limit state probability, presented as a function of the 3-second gust wind speed, based on a relation between statistics of wind loads and anchor system resistances. Advertisement sign attached to concrete wall structure was investigated using probabilistic approach with consideration of anchor type, exposure category, and wind directionality. The results showed that the failure due to tension on anchor bolt was dominant and occurred at a very high wind speed. The fragility methodology described in this paper can be used to develop performance-based design guidelines for advertisement structure in high wind regions as well as to provide information on which to base structural safety or expected loss assessments.

This study investigated structure and function of the reproductive system in Aplysia kurodai by means of anatomical, histological, and histochemical observation. Reproductive system of this species is consisted of ovotestis, small hermaphroditic duct, ampulla, accessory genital mass and large hermaphroditic duct. The ovotestis is composed of a large number of follicles, and both oocytes and spermatocytes matured in the same follicle. The small hermaphroditic duct is a single tube and contains a swelling, the ampulla, which functions as a storage organ for endogenous sperm and an oviduct. The accessory genital mass is connected to both the small and large hermaphroditic duct, and consisted of three glands: albumen, membrane (winding) and mucus gland. The albumen gland is consisted of granular cells producing basophilic and neutral mucopolysaccharides. The membrane and mucus gland are consisted of granular cells producing acidophilc and sulfated mucopolysaccharides. The large hermaphroditic duct is a single tubular gonoduct linking the accessory genital mass to the common genital aperture but is consisted of two parallel compartments. Internally, these two compartments are incompletely divided by internal septum or fold, which are called as the red hemiduct and white hemiduct, respectively. The red hemiduct functions as an oviduct and the white hemiduct functions as a copulatory duct. The reproductive system of A. kurodai is externally comprised a single tube, i.e., monaulic type. However, internal structure of duct is incompletely divided into oviduct and copulatory duct, i.e., the oodiaulic type.
