The frequency window method has been extended to include strong coupling and multiple connections between the primary structure and the secondary structures. The rational polynomial expansion of the eigenvalue problem and the analytical methods for its solution are novel and distinguish this work from other eigenvalue analysis methods. The key results are the identification of parameters which quantify the resonance and coupling characteristics; the derivation of analytical closed-form expressions describing the fundamental modal properties in the frequency windows; and the development of an iterative procedure which yields accurate convergent results for strongly-coupled primary-secondary structures.

The discharge characteristics of the oxidizer injector of liquid rocket engine were investigated. The discharge performance was obtained numerically which agreed quantitatively with the measured data. The discharge coefficient is proportional to the cavitation number for cavitating flow and constant for non-cavitating flow. The Reynolds number, however, affects little the discharge coefficient. The discharge coefficient decreased slightly as the Reynolds number increased because the friction loss decreased relatively at high Reynolds number flow.

The objective of this paper is to quantify economic values of parcel service attributes (safety, reliability, quickness, and kindness and customer service) using the contingent choice method and to investigate impact factors (such as sex, age, and education), which influence choice of desirable parcel services. As empirical results, the marginal willingness-to-pay for multiple attributes of parcel service is calculated as about 2,349.6 KRW for the safety attribute, about 829.3 KRW for the reliability attribute, about 588.5 KRW for the quickness attribute, and about 358.8 KRW for the kindness and customer service attribute, according to the estimation model without covariates. The overall results indicate that the safety attribute ranks highest among parcel service attributes, followed by the reliability attribute, quickness attribute, and kindness and customer service attribute. These results can be useful in the decision-making process for establishing desirable pricing policies for parcel service.

국내외 발생하는 재난 중 70% 이상이 물과 관련된 재해로 분류되며, 집중호우와 태풍으로 인한 하천범람 및 내수침수 등으로 많은 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 특히 최근 발생하는 피해 양상은 과거에 발생하지 않았던 극한 강우로 인해 돌발적으로 발생하는 경우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있어 이에 따라 사전에 예측하여 미리 대비하는 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 선제적인 홍수 대비 시스템의 구축 여부는 정확한 하천 흐름 예측을 필요로 한다. 하지만 하천의 흐름은 댐붕괴, 제방붕괴, 하천 하상의 변동 등 다양한 상황에서 급격한 흐름의 변동이 발생하며, 이는 하천 흐름 예측에 장애물로 작용하여 정확도를 떨어뜨리는 요인이 된다. 특히 국내에는 산악지형과 수공구조물에 의한 불연속 단면이 다수 존재하고 있어 그 예측 결과에 대한 정확성에 대한 요구가 더욱 부각되고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 해당 문제를 해결하기 위한 다양한 기법들이 개발되어 실무에 적용되고 있으나 어떤 기법이 국내 하천특성에 적합한지 파악할 수 없으며, 그 정확성과 안정성에 측면에서 여전히 많은 문제점을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 불연속 흐름이 빈번하게 발생하는 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 확인하고자 유량보존특성을 만족하는 유한체적기법 중 국내외적으로 다수 사용되었던 기법들을 비교 및 평가하였다. 불연속 흐름의 대표적인 예제로서 'Dam-break problem'과 충격파 해석 및 홍수기와 갈수기에 따른 하천 하상의 마름/젖음에 대한 평가를 할 수 있는 Toro's Riemann problems에 적용하여 비교하였으며 그 결과 값을 정량적인 수치로 나타내었다. 이를 통해 국내 하천 특성에 적합한 수치 기법을 선정하였으며. 향후 국내하천 환경을 만족할 뿐만 아니라 하천 종사자들의 요구에도 부합한 하천흐름해석 모형의 개발 시 많은 기여가 될 것이라 판단된다.

Purpose: This study aimed to quantitatively measure the movement of tumors in real-time and evaluate the treatment accuracy, during the treatment of a liver tumor patient, who underwent radiosurgery with a Synchrony Respiratory motion tracking system of a robot CyberKnife. Materials and Methods: The study subjects included 24 liver tumor patients who underwent CyberKnife treatment, which included 64 times of treatment with the Synchrony Respiratory motion tracking system ($Synchrony^{TM}$). The treatment involved inserting 4 to 6 acupuncture needles into the vicinity of the liver tumor in all the patients using ultrasonography as a guide. A treatment plan was set up using the CT images for treatment planning uses. The position of the acupuncture needle was identified for every treatment time by Digitally Reconstructed Radiography (DRR) prepared at the time of treatment planning and X-ray images photographed in real-time. Subsequent results were stored through a Motion Tracking System (MTS) using the Mtsmain.log treatment file. In this way, movement of the tumor was measured. Besides, the accuracy of radiosurgery using CyberKnife was evaluated by the correlation errors between the real-time positions of the acupuncture needles and the predicted coordinates. Results: The maximum and the average translational movement of the liver tumor were measured 23.5 mm and $13.9{\pm}5.5\;mm$, respectively from the superior to the inferior direction, 3.9 mm and $1.9{\pm}0.9mm$, respectively from left to right, and 8.3 mm and $4.9{\pm}1.9\;mm$, respectively from the anterior to the posterior direction. The maximum and the average rotational movement of the liver tumor were measured to be $3.3^{\circ}$ and $2.6{\pm}1.3^{\circ}$, respectively for X (Left-Right) axis rotation, $4.8^{\circ}$ and $2.3{\pm}1.0^{\circ}$, respectively for Y (Crania-Caudal) axis rotation, $3.9^{\circ}$ and $2.8{\pm}1.1^{\circ}$, respectively for Z (Anterior-Posterior) axis rotation. In addition, the average correlation error, which represents the treatment's accuracy was $1.1{\pm}0.7\;mm$. Conclusion: In this study real-time movement of a liver tumor during the radiosurgery could be verified quantitatively and the accuracy of the radiosurgery with the Synchrony Respiratory motion tracking system of robot could be evaluated. On this basis, the decision of treatment volume in radiosurgery or conventional radiotherapy and useful information on the movement of liver tumor are supposed to be provided.

In this paper, equivalent circuit model and novel model parameter extraction method of a silicon(Si) substrate are presented. Substrate coupling through Si-substrate is quantitatively investigated by analyzing equivalent circuit with operating frequency and characteristic frequencies (i.e., pole and zero frequency) of a system. For the experimental verification of the equivalent circuit and parameter extraction method, test patterns are designed and fabricated in standard CMOS technology with various isolation distances, substrate resistivity, and guard-ring structures. Then, these are measured in l00MHz-20GHz frequency range by using vector network analyzer. It is shown that the equivalent-circuit-based HSPICE simulation results using extracted parameters have excellent agreement with the experimental results. Thus, the proposed equivalent circuit and parameter extraction methodology can be usefully employed in mixed-signal circuit design and verification of a circuit performance.

기후변화로 인한 자연재해는 해마다 크게 증가하고있으며, 홍수 및 가뭄의 강도와 빈도 증가, 지구온난화로 인한 하천 건천화 등 많은 문제들이 대두되고 있다. 특히, 물 순환과정의 핵심요소로 설명되는 유출량의 변동은 용수 공급과 홍수 대응 및 관리, 하천생태계 유지를 위한 환경에 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서, 갈수량, 풍수량 등을 산정하여 하천별 유황특성을 결정하는 방법을 사용하고 있으나, 이와같은 지표는 계측자료가 과소한 경우 하천의 유황특성을 세부적으로 이해하고 정량적으로 제시하는데에 한계가있다. 따라서, 미계측 유역에서 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT)과 같은 수리해석모델이 광범위하게 이용되고있으며, SWAT 모델은 유역의 수치표고모형, 토양 특성, 토지이용 현황, 기상 현황, 유역의 매개변수 등을 반영하여 모델이 구동되고 있다. 하지만, 광범위하게 이용되고 적용성이 입증된 모델임에도 불구하고 입력자료의 불확실성 및 조사되지 않은 영농활동 등으로 인해 결과에 불확실성이 내포되어있으며, 불확실성을 줄이기 위해 실측된 하천의 유량 자료를 이용하여 검정 및 보정작업을 거치고 있다. 모델의 보정 방법으로는 SWAT-CUP과 같은 프로그램 이용되고 있지만, 모델에서 이용되는 매개변수로는 보정할수 있는 범위가 한정적이기 때문에 모델의 정확성을 높이는데에 한계가 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 선암천 유역을 대상으로 모델의 매개변수를 보정하지 않고도 머신러닝 기법을 이용하여 모델의 결과를 향상시켰다. 보정 결과, 유량의 경우 R²가 0.42에서 0.91으로 향상되었으며, 특히 고유량 구간에서의 정확성이 매우 향상되었다. 본 연구에서 평가된 SWAT+머신러닝 결합 모형은 향후 모델 구동에 필요한 입력자료가 부족한 경우와 빠른 검정 및 보정 작업이 필요할 경우 활용될수 있을것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the stabilization of an edge flame and the intensity variation of a diffusion branch were investigated using a multi-slot combustor under conditions of high temperature and small fuel-concentration gradient (FCG). The combustor consists of three narrow channels: a quartz channel and two side-heating combustors. For the accuracy of this experimental study, quantitative analysis was carried out for each boundary condition. Stable edge flames could be observed under high-temperature conditions by controlling the FCG and fuel dilution ratio. Moreover, it was found that the intensity of the diffusion flame was increased by increasing the temperature of the mixture. On the contrary, the intensity of the diffusion flame was decreased by increasing the dilution ratio. It was also found that a propane flame is more sensitively affected by these experimental parameters than a methane flame.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a simultaneous analytical method for berberine and palmatine, which are representative substances of Phellodendron amurense, and to evaluate the antioxidant activity. We evaluated the specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ) of analytical methods for berberine and palmatine using high-performance liquid chromatography. Our result showed that the correlation coefficients of the calibration curve for berberine and palmatine exhibited 0.9999. The LODs for berberine and palmatine were 0.32 to 0.35 µg/mL and the LOQs were 0.97 to 1.06 µg/mL, respectively. The inter-day and intra-day precision values for berberine and palmatine were from 0.12 to 1.93 and 0.19 to 2.89%, respectively. The inter-day and intra-day accuracies were 98.43-101.45% and 92.39-100.60%, respectively. In addition, the simultaneous analytical method was validated for the detection of berberine and palmatine. Moreover, we conducted FRAP and NaNO2 scavenging activity assays to measure the antioxidant activities of berberine and palmatine, and both showed antioxidant activity. These results suggest that P.amurense could be a potential natural resource for antioxidant activity and that the efficacy can be confirmed by investigating the content of the berberine and palmatine.

The objective of this study was to develop a sensitive method for the identification and determination of nitrovin in fishery products by using a solid-phase extraction (SPE), as performed with a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The samples were extracted with a mixture of acetonitrile and water, and were then defatted with acetonitrile saturated hexane, after which further clean-up was accomplished with SPE on the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) cartridges. The analytes were subsequently ionized in the positive mode of an electrospray ionization (ESI), and where thereby detected in a process of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). The linearity (expressed as correlation coefficients) of the matrix calibration curves was > 0.985. The limit of the quantification for the nitrovin was measured at 0.001 mg/kg. The accuracy (expressed as average recovery) was noted between 72.1 and 122%. The precision (expressed as coefficient variation) was noted from 2.9 to 16.9%. According to the CODEX CAC/GL-71 guideline accuracy, precision, linearity, and limit of detection were determined in three matrices (which were flatfish, eel and shrimp). The proposed method was suitable for analyzing the associated nitrovin residues. This application and result can also be a factor to contribute to the non-detection drugs management in fishery products.
