As the Korean society ages, the number of women who specialize in community health care is expected to increase. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and structure the nature of suffering due to job stress among female community health care professionals, and to provide basic data supporting the performance of female health care professionals. To use Parse's theory of human becoming, nine female health care professionals were selected in the community. After forming the "you and me" relationship, the researcher recorded the participants' distress through honest conversations. It was converted to the structure of human becoming through the extraction-synthesis and discovery interpretation process. Through conceptual interpretation, the structure of the experience was developed. At the results, the female health care professionals were the process of overcoming difficulty due to poor working conditions and conflict in roles between work and family through their skills and communication reinforcements in hopes for change. The stable national welfare policies must be established to sustain jobs with female community health care experts through improved working conditions.

In case of the seabed around and under gravity structures such as submerged breakwater is exposed to a large wave action long period, the excess pore pressure will be generated significantly due to pore volume change associated with rearrangement soil grains. This effect will lead a seabed liquefaction around and under structures as a result from decrease in the effective stress. Under the seabed liquefaction occurred and developed, the possibility of structure failure will be increased eventually. Lee et al.(2016) studied for regular waves, and this study considered for irregular waves with the same numerical analysis method used for regular waves. Under the condition of the irregular wave field, the time and spatial series of the deformation of submerged breakwater, the pore water pressure (oscillatory and residual components) and pore water pressure ratio in the seabed were estimated and their results were compared with those of the regular wave field to evaluate the liquefaction potential on the seabed quantitatively. Although present results are based on a limited number of numerical simulations, one of the study's most important findings is that a more safe design can be obtainable when analyzing case with a regular wave condition corresponding to a significant wave of irregular wave.

LED는 기존의 발광원에 비해 훨씬 높은 파워와 효율성으로 인해 최근 들어 각종 조명이나 교통신호 등에서 사용이 급증하고 있다. LED 재료를 위해 지금까지 여러가지가 연구되어 왔는데, 갈륨 질화물 (Gallium Nitride, GaN)에 기반한 시스템이 최근들어 가장 큰 관심을 받고 있다. GaN 방식은 열적으로 매우 안정성이 있고, 1.9 ~ 6.2 eV 범위의 넓은 밴드의 Gap, 그리고 인듐이나 알루미늄과 결합하여 청, 녹, 백색등의 다양한 빛을 발생할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 예를 들어 청색 LED는 광학 방식의 기록매체에, 백색 LED는 기존의 조명램프의 대체용으로 활용이 가능하다. 이러한 장점 덕분에 GaN기반 LED 시장은 1994년에 최초로 상용화 된 이래 최근 급격한 성장을 보여 왔다. 그러나 GaN은 다른 III~V 타입의 반도체 재료와는 달리 재료가 성장하기 위해 사파이어와 같은 별도의 기판을 필요로 하는 문제가 있다. 이것은 결국 전위발생과 같은 격자의 부조화 같은 문제를 야기하여 결국 LED의 성능을 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 HVPE(Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy) 방법이 개발되었는데, 이 방법은 시간당 100 미크론의 매우 빠른 성장속도로 높은 두께의 레이어를 만드는 장점이 있다. 이렇게 성장된 GaN 레이어는 베이스 기판에서 쉽게 분리되어 활용이 가능하다. 그러나 HVPE 기술은 성장 공정에서 두께를 균일하게 만들도록 제어하는 것이 매우 어렵다는 문제가 있다. 따라서 HVPE 방식에서는 이러한 조건을 만족시키기 위해 반응현상에 대한 물리적 해석을 토대로 공정조건을 정밀하게 설계해야 한다. 이를 위해 최근에 실험 또는 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 이러한 공정조건을 향상시키기 위한 여러 연구가 진행되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 연구의 일환으로 반응로에 투입되는 여러 기체의 유량과 존별 주변온도 조건을 입력변수로 하고, 이들이 GaN 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. HVPE 시스템에서 가장 이상적인 목표는 반응기체가 층류유동을 유지하면서 대부분의 반응이 기판위에서 이뤄지며, 기판위에서 성장되는 재료의 두께가 균일하게 되는 것이다. 입력변수들이 이러한 결과에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 지 분석하기 위해 전산유체역학(CFD, Computational Fluid Dynamics)을 수행하는 상용코드 FLUENT를 사용하였다. 보다 실제에 가까운 해석을 위해서는 기체간의 화학반응을 포함해야 하나, 해석의 편의와 효율을 위해 본 연구에서는 열 및 유동해석만을 수행하였다. 한편 실제 반응로의 우수성은 성장속도와 두께분포의 균일도를 통해 평가된다. CFD 해석을 통해 이들을 분석하기 위해 기존에 수행한 실험조건을 해석하고 해석결과의 유동패턴/압력분포를 실험결과의 성장속도/두께분포와 비교하고, 이중에서 관련성이 높은 해석결과변수를 우수성 평가에 활용하였다. 기존의 실험결과를 토대로 이러한 중요 결과변수와 함께 이들에 대한 목표값이 도출되고 나면, 입력 공정조건 - 사용기체의 유량과 주변온도 조건 - 에 대해 실험계획(DOE,Design of Experiment)을 수립하고 목표성능을 구현하기 위한 최적설계를 수행할 수 있다. 일반적으로 CFD를 통해 최적의 설계나 공정조건을 탐색하는 작업은 1회의 CFD 계산시간이 매우 오래 소요되기 때문에 쉽지 않다. 그러나 본 연구에서는 CFD와 DOE의 적절한 조합을 통해 적은 수의 해석을 가지고도 원하는 결과를 효율적으로 얻는 것이 가능함을 입증하고자 한다. 본 발표에서는 아직 이러한 연구가 완성되지 않은 시점에서 제반 연구개요를 소개하고 현 시점까지의 연구 결과 및 향후 계획을 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, the reasons of damages and the case study are review in which bridge pier with debris accumulation, and safety Influence factors by debris around the bridge piers are review. Also experiment Is conducted for the characteristic of flow around piers by different area and angle of debris and the basic characteristics was review for safe design of bridge and embankments. As result of review of several standards of design, hydraulic structure's freeboard is simply decided by discharge, so it needs more detail standards. And as result of experiment, in the case of that water depth is deep and velocity is slow, variation of water depth Is more increase as increasing of debris. Therefore the variation regime of flow characteristics like velocity and water depth by debris is more large in the stream of small or medium size, which streams have large water depth and slow velocity so Froude Number Is expressed as small in the flood. Also when Froude Number is about 0.5, the water elevation is over freeboard in the standard if the debris over 20%. Therefore when hydraulic structure is constructed in the stream of small or medium size, it need to conduct more detail experiments about influence of debris, distribution of velocity and variation of elevation, and than the more safe freeboard will be presented using the experimental results.

Late Cretaceous (90.5 Ma), epithermal gold-silver vein mineralization of the Weolseong and Samchang mines in the Sulcheon area, 60 km southeast of Taejeon, can be separated into two distinct stages (I and II) during which fault-related fissures in Precambrian gneiss and Cretaceous (102 Ma) porphyritic granite were filled. Fluid inclusion and mineralogical data suggest that quartz-sulfide-electrum-argentite-forming stage I evolved from initial high temperatures $({\approx}340^{\circ}C})$ to later lower temperatures $({\approx}140^{\circ}C})$ at shallow depths of about 400 to 700 m. Ore fluid salinities were in the range between 0.2 and 6.6 wt. % eq. NaCl. A simple statistic model for fluid-fluid mixing indicates that the mixing ratio (the volumetric ratio between deep hydrothermal fluids and meteoric water) systematically decreased with time. Gold-silver deposition occurred at temperatures of $230{\pm}40^{\circ}C$ mainly as a result of progressive cooling of ore-forming fluids through mixing with less-evolved meteoric waters. Measured and calculated hydrogen and oxygen isotope values of hydrothermal fluids indicate meteoric water dominance, approaching unexchanged meteoric water values. The geologic, mineralogic, and geochemical data from the Weolseong and Samchang mines are similar to those from other Korean epithermal gold-silver vein deposits.

Waste salt generated from a pyro-processing for the recovery of uranium and transuranic elements has high volatility at vitrification temperature and low compatibility in conventional waste glasses. For this reason, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) suggested a new method to de-chlorinate waste salt by using an inorganic composite named SAP ($SiO_2-Al_2O_3-P_2O_5$). In this study, the de-chlorination behavior of waste salt and the microstructure of consolidated form were examined by adding $B_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$ to the original SAP composition. De-chlorination behavior of metal chloride waste was slightly changed with given compositions, compared with that of original SAP. In the consolidated forms, the phase separation between Si-rich phase and P-rich phase decreases with the amount of $Al_2O_3$ or $B_2O_3$ as a connecting agent between Si and P-rich phase. The results of PCT (Product Consistency Test) indicated that the leach-resistance of consolidated forms out of reference composition was lowered, even though the leach-resistance was higher than that of EA (Environmental Assessment) glass. From these results, it could be inferred that the change in the content of Al or B in U-SAP affected the microstructure and leach-resistance of consolidated form. Further studies related with correlation between composition and characteristics of wasteform are required for a better understanding.

Softening effects of enzyme following pre-treatments were examined. Four pre-treatments: raw (R), heat (H), heat and freeze-thawing (HFT), heat and freeze-drying (HFD) were applied to carrot. Subsequently, each treated sample was immersed in 10% celluclast enzyme solution for up to 6 h and then their properties were compared. The minimum and the maximum color change was observed in HFD and H, respectively. R showed no change in hardness after 6 h immersion, indicating that the enzyme did not penetrate the carrot. The number and size of pores were greater in samples undergone HFT or HFD as observed by microstructure analysis using SEM, and HFD caused 99.5% reduction in hardness after 6 h immersion. After 6 h immersion post-HFT or 3 h immersion post-HFD, the hardness was less than $20,000N/m^2$, indicating tongue ingestion was possible, and the samples retained their original shape and easily collapsed by spoon pressing.

Shear behavior dependent on the shape and roughness of rock joints can greatly influence the stability of the ground and rock structures. The efficient design of rock structures requires understanding of the shear behavior due to joints and accurate calculation of the shear strength. This work reports numerical shear tests using PFC2D on No. 1 (JCR-1), with smooth joints, and No. 7 (JRC-7) and No. 9 (JRC-9), with relatively rough joints, for the 10 shapes of standard joint profiles proposed by Barton and Choubey (1977). The aim was to investigate the shear behavior of rock joints with respect to their roughness. The results show the maximum shear stress to be about 3.2 to 5.0 times greater in the rougher JRC-7 and JRC-9 joints than in smoother JRC-1. The maximum shear displacement was approximately 4.1 to 5.8 times greater at the first normal stress than at the second. The rougher joints showed friction angles of the rock joints that were approximately 1.8 to 3.9 times greater than that in the smooth joint. Overall, increasing the rock joint roughness increased the maximum shear stress and friction angle.

This paper presents an improved computational framework for the direct-solution-based finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI) algorithm. The FETI-local algorithm is further improved herein, and localized Lagrange multipliers are used to define the interface among its subdomains. Selective inverse entry computation, using a property of the Boolean matrix, is employed for the computation of the subdomain interface stiffness and load, in which the original FETI-local algorithm requires a full matrix inverse computation of a high computational cost. In the global interface computation step, the original serial computation is replaced by a parallel multi-frontal method. The performance of the improved FETI-local algorithm was evaluated using a numerical example with 64 million degrees of freedom (DOFs). The computational time was reduced by up to 97.8% compared to that of the original algorithm. In addition, further stable and improved scalability was obtained in terms of a speed-up indicator. Furthermore, a performance comparison was conducted to evaluate the differences between the proposed algorithm and commercial software ANSYS using a large-scale computation with 432 million DOFs. Although ANSYS is superior in terms of computational time, the proposed algorithm has an advantage in terms of the speed-up increase per processor increase.
