As a pilot experiment for developing the monitoring system for oil spill from storage tank, previous approach of monitoring contaminated oil from mixed soil sample had the limitation that it cannot reflect the real situations of the contamination. In this study, more realistic contamination condition and water contents were considered. Fluorescence intensity was not affected by water contents. To acquire the stability of media, sand, Ca-bentonite, alumina, Fe-oxide, bead and silica were tested. Only sand was suitable to our system. These results should provide basic information for constructing reliable monitoring system.

Pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis is a rare clinical entity and it is called catamenial pneumothorax if the recurrence of pneumothorax is related to the period of menstruation. Several hypotheses about its pathogenesis are suggested including spontaneous rupture of the bulla, endometrial implants of the visceral pleura, and passage of air from the genital tract through endometrial fenestration of the diaphragm. Pneumothorax is associated with chest pain and dyspnea within 72 hours of the onset of menses in young women and developed usually at right side. We report a case of 32-year-old woman who had bilateral pneumothorax and thoracic endometriosis confirmed histopathologically in the visceral pleura by thoracotomy.

This study aims to address the fire characteristics of Double-skin facade using the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). To end this, Double-skin facade was classified into the four structures, that is Box, Shaft-box, Corridor, Multistory, through PyroSim program which was based on FDS, and further each structure of fire characteristics were analyzed numerically as well as comparatively in the current study. This study also examined smoke movement, smoke density, smoke detectors, and visibility in order to closely identify the each structure of fire characteristics. The results of the study discovered that the Box structure did not significantly affect smoke which was rising in the other rooms, except for the fire room whereas the Corridor structure had positive effects on Double-skin facade horizontally. In addition, the Shaft-box structure showed the fastest vertical movement by means of the shaft, on the other hand, rising smoke influenced the other rooms as well. The Multistory structure along with rising smoke had a great impact on the other divided rooms in a vertical way.

In this paper, the unsteady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations coupled with energy equation were solved to find out the optimal location of electrical heat trace for anti-freeze of water inside the pipe for fire protection. Since the conduction equation of pipe was coupled with the natural convection of water, the analysis of conjugate heat transfer was conducted. A commercial code (ANSYS-FLUENT) based on SIMPLE-type algorithm was used for investigating the unsteady flows and temperature distributions in water region. From the numerical experiments, the isotherms and the vector fields in water region were obtained. Furthermore, it was found that the lowest part of the pipe cross-section was an optimal position of electrical heat trace assuming the constant thermal expansion coefficient of water since the minimum temperature of the water with the position is higher than those with the other positions.

By the activation of environment-friendly river works, application of vegetation mats is increasing, however, evaluation techniques for hydraulic stability of vegetation mats are not presented. This study is conducted to develop the objective test method for vegetation mats. Two kind of vegetation mats are tested by the real scale experiments, and hydraulic quantities are measured and analyzed to evaluate acting shear stresses. To evaluate soil loss, Terrestrial 3D LiDAR measurement is conducted and soil loss index are calculated from changes of bed elevation. Quantified evaluation for permissible shear stresses is conducted by graphical method for acting shear stresses and soil loss index. By the results of precision survey, changes of sub soil are limited to local range in stable cases and relatively large changes of sub soil which is similar to natural river bed are detected in unstable cases. From the study, evaluation of permissible shear stresses by ASTM D 6040 is avaliable in the failure mechanism and failure criteria by soil loss index.

In this paper, the rotated hexagonal lattice model (RHLM) was proposed, which is applied to pedestrian flow, and developed the simulation model for the pedestrian counterflow. RHLM is an upgrade version of the square lattice model(SLM) and hexagonal lattice model(HLM). The simulation was performed at the hexagonal lattice $20{\times}20$ and evaluated by different speed, density and flow conditions. Simulation results are compared with SLM and show that RHLM can replicate the characteristics of pedestrian traffic more effectively and reliably than any other existing models from several perspectives. First, RHLM can explain the shortest-path movement of pedestrians and more realistic avoidance motion. If they cannot move straight direction, they can move shorter distance from previous position to destination. Second, RHLM reflects the characteristics that the pedestrian can move with higher capacity and the speed of pedestrian flow is hard to zero.

Natural drought is a three-dimensional phenomenon that simultaneously evolves in time and space. To evaluate the link between meteorological and hydrological droughts, we defined a drought event from a three-dimensional perspective and analyzed the propagation characteristics in time and spaces. Overall results indicated that 77 % of the total cases of spatio-temporal droughts was propagated based on the single category relationship between meteorological and hydrological drought events, while 23 % was affected by multiple meteorological drought events to the occurrence of hydrological drougts. Especially, it turned out that the hydrological drought was caused by the spatio-temporal effects of the propagation of four meteorological drought events generated due to long-term lack of precipitation in 1994-1995. In addition, the meteorological drought caused by the lack of precipitation in the summer of 2001 lasted for several months, and was propagated to the hydrological drought in April 2002.

1차원구속 반도체인 nanowires (NWs)는 전기적, 광학적으로 일반 bulk구조와 다른 특성을 가지고 있어서 현재 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 일반적으로 NWs는 Au 등의 금속 촉매를 이용하여 성장을 하게 되는데 이때 촉매가 오염물로 작용을 해서 결함을 만들어서 bandgap내에 defect level을 형성하게 된다. 본 연구는 Si (111) 기판 위에 GaAs NWs 와 InAs NWs를 촉매를 이용하지 않고 성장 하였다. vapour-liquid-solid (VLS)방법으로 성장하는 GaAs NWs는 Ga의 droplet을 이용하게 되는데 Ga이 Si 기판위에 자연 산화막에 존재하는 핀홀(pinhole)로 이동하여 1차적으로 Ga droplet 형성하고 이후 공급되는 Ga과 As은 SiO2 보다 GaAs와 sticking coefficient 가 좋기 때문에 Ga drolept을 중심으로 빠른 선택적 성장을 하게 되면서 NWs로 성장을 하게 된다. 반면에 InAs NWs를 성장 할 시에 droplet 방법으로 성장을 하게 되면 NWs가 아닌 박막 형태로 성장을 하게 되는데 이것으로 InAs과 GaAs의 $SiO_2$와의 sticking coefficient 의 차이를 추측을 할 수 있다. InAs NWs는 GaAs NWs는 달리 native oxide를 이용하지 않고 InAs 과 Si 사이의 11.5%의 큰 lattice mismatch를 이용한다. 이종의 epitaxy 방법에는 크게 3종류 (Frank-van der Merwe mode, Stranski-Krastanov mode, Volmer-Weber mode)가 있는데 각기 다른 adatom 과 surface의 adhesive force로 나누어지게 된다. 이 중 Volmer-Weber mode epitaxy는 adatom 의 cohesive force가 surface와의 adhesive force보다 큰 경우 성장 되는 방식으로 InAs NWs 는 이 방식을 이용한다. 즉 droplet을 이용하지 않는 vapour-solid (VS) 방법으로 성장을 하였다. 이 때 In 의 migration을 억제하기 위해서 VLS mode 의 GaAs NWs 보다 As의 공급을 10배 이상 하였다. FE-SEM 분석 결과 GaAs NWs는 Ga droplet을 확인 할 수 있었고 InAs NWs는 droplet이 존재하지 않았다. GaAs와 InAs NW는 density와 length가 V/III가 높을수록 증가 하였다.

This paper presents a mews event reenactment system (NERS), which generates virtual character animations in a quick and convenient manner. Thus, NERS can be used to produce computer graphics(CG) scenes of news events that are hard to photograph, such as fire, traffic accident, cases of murder, and so on. By using plenty of captured motion data and CG model data this system produces an appropriate animation of virtual characters straightforwardly without any motion capturing device and actors in the authoring stage. NERS is designed to be capable of making virtual characters move along user-defined paths, stitching motions smoothly and modifyingthe positions and of the articulations of a virtual character in a specific frame. Therefore a virtual character can be controlled precisely so as to interact with the virtual environments and other characters. NERS provides both an interactive and script-based (MEL: Maya Embedded Language) interface so that user can this system in a convenient way. This system has been implemented as a plug-in of commercial CG tool, Maya (Alias/wavefront), in order to make use of its advanced functions
