Recently, we can see an increasing amount of dam damage or failure due to aging, earthquakes occurrence and unusual changes in weather. For this reason, dam safety is gaining more importance than ever before in terms of disaster management at a national level. Therefore, the government is trying to come up with an array of legal actions to secure consistent dam safety. Other dam management organizations are also taking various institutional and technical measures for the same purpose. In this study, Dam Safety Management System, KDSMS, has developed for consistent and efficient dam safety management. The KDSMS consists of dam and reservoir data, a hydrological information system, a field inspection and data management system, a instrumentation and monitoring system including earthquake monitoring, a field investigation and safety evaluation system, and a collective information system. The KDSMS is a kind of enterprise management system which has been developed to deal with safety management of each field, research center, and headquarter office and their correlation as well as detailed safety information management.

Telemetry ground station use very high gain directional antenna systems that are sensitive to interference from other RF communication systems, Without appropriate interference protection, these systems could be severely impacted or even rendered useless for mission support. In ECC, we suggested ans interference analysis method between LTE-TDD system and telemetry ground station using 2.3GHz. In this paper, based on the interference analysis scenario considered in Electronic Communication Committee, We have derived mutual coexistence separation distance between telemetry ground station and LTE-TDD system(Base station, User equipment) in Spatial domain.

Improper backfill materials and compaction controls under pipelines have become one of the major causes of failure in many sewage pipeline systems. A study on backfill materials and compaction controls has been considered for a long time. However, structural supporters under the pipe were recently concerned because of pipeline repair and maintenance. This paper presents a prefabricated plastic foundation for supporting a sewage pipe system and increasing the performance function of the pipes. Several analytical models for the plastic foundations were investigated using finite-element program, ABAQUS, for checking safety. Comparing with the results of analyses, some of economic design sections based on the sizes of pipe diameters, 600mm, 700 and 600mm, were evaluated. These results could be applied to a pipeline system with a prefabricated plastic foundation with respect to pipe diameters and buried depths.

자동차 차체부품에 적용되는 플라스틱 소재는 강도와 내마모성, 내충격성의 충분한 물성확보가 필요하며, 이에 플라스틱 소재의 기계적 특성 향상을 위해 유리 섬유가 다량 함유된 복합소재적용이 증가하고 있다. 반면 플라스틱이 고강도화함에 따라 제품 성형을 위한 사출 금형을 손상시키는 사례가 빈번하게 발생하고, 소재의 유동성 저하에 따른 사출 불량이 증가하고 있어 고강성 플라스틱 복합소재에 대응하는 고경도, 고내마모 특성이 부여된 사출 금형의 개발이 시급한 실정이다. 특히 사출 금형에 사용되는 소재는 기존 소재에 비해 우수한 내마모성과 함께 고광택을 유지하는 것이 더욱 중요해졌으며, 이에 따라 유럽, 일본과 국내 연구진에 의해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 일본에서 개발되어 국내에도 소개된 래디칼 질화는 기존 질화법에 표면의 화합물 층만을 제어하는 것으로 다소의 표면 광택 효과는 있으나, 플라스틱 사출에 그대로 적용하기에는 무리가 따르므로 그 용도가 극히 제한적이다. 본 연구에서 적용한 나노 질화기술은 0.1torr 이하의 고진공에서 고밀도의 플라즈마 에너지를 발생시키는 방법으로 화합물층이 없는 나노 크기의 질화층을 소재 표면에 형성시키는 기술로서, 처리 후에도 표면의 색상 및 광택의 변화가 없는 것을 특징으로 한다. 또한 표면 경도 및 피로 특성을 향상시킴으로써 금형의 내구 수명을 향상시킬 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구에서는 KP4 금형 소재를 사용하여 플라즈마 이온 질화 시험 조건에 따른 소재의 경도 및 내마모 특성을 파악하고, 미세 조직 분석 및 XRD 분석 등을 통해 내마모 특성 향상에 대한 기본 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 인장시험을 통해 인장강도, 항복강도 및 연신율을 파악하고, 이를 토대로 고주기 피로시험을 실시함으로써 S-N curve를 얻고, 이를 통해 피로 강도 및 피로 수명에 미치는 나노 질화 처리의 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 플라즈마 이온 질화 시험은 질소와 수소 비율($N_2:H_2$), 진공도, Screen bias voltage, Bias voltage를 변화시켰으며, 챔버 온도는 $400^{\circ}C$로 고정하였으며, 처리시간도 3시간으로 고정하였다. 질소와 수소의 비율은 3:1일 때 최고의 내마모 특성을 보였으며, 진공도는 내마모 특성에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다. KP4의 초기 경도값은 약 302 Hv인 반면 최적의 나노 질화처리를 거친 시편에서는 800Hv 이상의 Vickers 경도값을 보였다. SEM 미세조직 분석과 EPMA를 통한 성분 분석을 시행한 결과 표층으로부터 약 $1.5{\mu}m$의 나노질화층을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we introduce the design consideration of the EMI and lightning induced transient protection circuit for RS-170a video signal on the avionics equipment. Avionics equipment is subject to the risk of malfunction or physical damage due to indirect lightning effect from lightning strike or electromagnetic interference from external environment. So in order to protect the avionics equipment from these effects, we should analyze the effect of electromagnetic interference and lightning strike on aircraft and apply protection design for each avionics device, but protection circuit may cause signal distortion if signal level is low and frequency is high. In this paper, we introduce common protection design for EMI and indirect lightning effect, and consideration for minimize signal distortion caused by protection circuit for RS-170a. In addition, we show some example of improvements to the actual equipment design using consideration discussed in this paper.

The purpose of this study is to examine the ethnic phenomenon in the multi-layered context, based upon data collected from my fieldwork in Asella Town, Ethiopia. The town has experienced few ethnic conflicts at the collective level because of ecological conditions, the numerical balance between the two major ethnic groups-i.e., the Oromo and the Amhara-, frequent ethnic intermarriages as well as effects of a unique sociocultural practice of 'breast-feeding.' However, despite positive influences of such a practice, the local community has continuously witnessed discrimination and threats by the dominant ethnic group. Most of my informants feel that ethnic intermarriage contributes to: (i) enforcement of bonds among both ethic groups and community members, (ii) acquisition of different ethnic cultures, (iii) cultivation of the spirit of tolerance among people, and (iv) production of the superior second generation that has hybrid/multiple ethnic identities. However, some informants harbor negative attitudes towards ethnic intermarriage because they perceive it as a selfish choice of two parties and damages ethnic identity. Most informants consider ongoing Oromonization as natural, whereas others insist that it should be understood in the context of coercion, superficiality and survival strategy.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) is the most common causative agent of community-acquired pneumonia in school-aged children. An 8-year-old boy who had been diagnosed with autism looked severely ill when he presented to our hospital due to dyspnea and lethargy. He had fever and cough 7 days prior to hospitalization. He had signs and symptoms of severe respiratory distress. The percutaneous oxygen saturation was 88% at high oxygen supply. Chest radiography showed diffusely increased opacity with moderate pleural effusion. He was intubated immediately and admitted to the intensive care unit. Under the clinical impression of mycoplasmal pneumonia, intravenous clarithromycin was started. Laboratory findings showed leukocytosis, hepatitis, decreased renal function, and presence of serum MP immunoglobulin (Ig) M (+) IgG (+) and sputum MP polymerase chain reaction (+). On hospital day 2, the patient developed multiple organ failure with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) was performed with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and was weaned successfully. This is the first reported case of an ARDS due to MP infection complicated by multiple organ failure that was successfully treated with ECMO and CRRT in South Korea.

Recently, due to the expansion of urban infrastructure using underground spaces in urban areas, many adjacent constructions and excavations have been made carried out between existing facilities, and complaints related to the stability of existing facilities due to close construction have become significant issues. In this study, it was closely reviewed for the existing metro tunnel structure in the new Dongbuk urban metro railway to determine the behavioral characteristics of tunnel structure according to adjacent tunnel construction. Also, it was analysed the evaluation of the safety zone and excavation method for metro tunnel structure. And after a detailed damage assessment, track irregularities and structural calculation by using a numerical analysis, stability of the metro tunnel structure according to nearby tunnel excavation was evaluated to be secured for safety. This study is expected to be applied as practical reference to review the evaluation of safety effects of existing tunnel structure and buildings according to adjacent construction in complex deep urban tunnelling.

A transverse fracture is the most common type of displaced patella fracture requiring surgery. These fractures are commonly fixed with parallel Kirschner wires or screws that cross the fracture line, often with an additional tension band. Nevertheless, conventional fixation methods of patella fractures have prevalent complications caused by the protrusion of wires or pins. These complications necessitate additional surgery for hardware removal, increase medical cost, and can limit the function of the knee joint. This paper reports cases treated with a minimally invasive load-sharing percutaneous suture of the patella tendon. The procedure provides reliable fixation for transverse patella fractures, minimizes soft tissue injuries, preserves blood flow, and reduces postoperative pain. In addition, the procedure also reduces the irritation and pain caused by the internal fixture, thereby reducing the risk of restricted knee joint movement.
