  • 본 연구에서는 군남 홍수조절지 여수로의 흐름을 FLOW-3D 모형을 이용하여 모의하였다. 기본계획안에 따라, 월류웨어의 방류능력과 접근수로의 안정성을 검토한 결과 여수로 규모가 적절하지 못하고, 접근수로 내의 흐름은 불안정한 것으로 나타났다. 그래서, 문제점올 해결하기 위한 개선안을 마련하였다. 개선안에 따라 여수로의 흐름을 모의하고, 월류웨어의 방류능력과 접근수로의 안정성을 검토하였다. 그 결과 개선된 여수로의 규모는 적정한 것으로 나타났고, 접근수로의 안정성은 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • The application of composites as an alternative material for marine steel hatch covers is the subject of this study. Two separate approaches are considered; weight reduction approach and strengthening approach. For both approaches Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed using ANSYS software. Critical design parameters of the composite hatch cover and FEA are discussed in details. Regarding the weight reduction approach; steel hatch covers of a bulk carrier were replaced by composite covers and a weight reduction of 44.32% was achieved leading to many benefits including fuel saving, Deadweight Increment and lower center of gravity of the vessel. For the strengthening approach; the foremost hatch cover was strengthened to withstand 150% of the load required by IACS for safer navigation while no change in weight was made between the steel and composite covers. Results show that both approaches are feasible and advantageous.

  • Background: The standard approach in treating cardiac myxoma is the median full sternotomy. With the evolution of surgical techniques, the right minithoracotomy approach has emerged as an alternative method. Since few studies have been published assessing the right minithoracotomy approach, we performed a retrospective study to compare the clinical outcomes of the right minithoracotomy approach with those of the sternotomy approach. Methods: From January 2005 to December 2014, 203 patients underwent resection of a cardiac myxoma. Patients with preexisting cardiac problems were excluded from this study. 146 patients were enrolled in this study; 83 patients were treated using a median sternotomy and 63 patients were treated using a right minithoracotomy. Results: No early mortalities were recorded in either group. Although the cardiopulmonary bypass time and aorta cross-clamp time were significantly shorter in the sternotomy group (p<0.001 and p=0.005), postoperative blood transfusions and arrhythmia events were significantly less common in the thoracotomy group (p=0.004 and p=0.025, respectively). No significant differences were found in the duration of the hospital stay, postoperative intubation time, the duration of the intensive care unit stay, and recurrence. Conclusion: The minimally invasive right minithoracotomy approach is a good alternative method for treating cardiac myxoma because it was found to be associated with a lower incidence of postoperative complications and a shorter postoperative recovery period.

  • This study suggests an alternative to the conventional collaborative filtering method for predicting consumer choice, using case-based reasoning. The algorithm of case-based reasoning determines the similarity between the alternative sets that each subject chooses. Case-based reasoning uses the inverse of the normalized Euclidian distance as a similarity measurement. This normalized distance is calculated by the ratio of difference between each attribute level relative to the maximum range between the lowest and highest level. The alternative case-based reasoning based on similarity predicts a target subject's choice by applying the utility values of the subjects most similar to the target subject to calculate the utility of the profiles that the target subject chooses. This approach assumes that subjects who deliberate in a similar alternative set may have similar preferences for each attribute level in decision making. The result shows the similarity between comparable alternatives the consumers consider buying is a significant factor to predict the consumer choice. Also the interaction effect has a positive influence on the predictive accuracy. This implies the consumers who looked into the same alternatives can probably pick up the same product at the end. The suggested alternative requires fewer predictors than conjoint analysis for predicting customer choices.

  • Robust design is an approach to reducing performance variation of response values in products and processes. In the Taguchl parameter design, the product-array approach using orthogonal arrays is mainly used. However, it often requires an excessive number of experiments. An alternative approach, which is called the combined-array approach, was suggested by Welch et. al. (1990) and studied by others. In these studies, only single response variable was considered. We propose how to simultaneously optimize multiple responses when there are correlations among responses, and when we use the combined-array approach to assign control and noise factors. An example is illustrated to show the difference between the Taguchi's product-array approach and the combined-array approach.

  • In this paper we suggest an efficient evolutionary approach based on topological sort techniques for precedence constrained TSPs. The determination of optimal sequence has much to offer to downstream project management and opens up new opportunities for supply chains and logistics. Experimental results show that the suggested approach is a good alternative to locate optimal solution for complicated precedence constrained sequencing as in optimization method for instance.

  • The primary purpose of the study was to review both domestic and international literature and intervention programs designed from an ecological perspective in dealing with issues on family welfare. This study cites several research evidence that indicates why an ecological model is a relevant alternative to investigate issues in family welfare. The strengths of the ecological approach and limitations of the present study were discussed. Suggestions for future research were made based on the review of literature.

  • This paper presents an alternative inspection method for counting items of a lot(or kit) in production lines or distribution centers. In this inspection, lots are weighed instead of counting all items of the lots in order to reduce the effort required for the 100% manual counting inspection. Inspection errors of this inspection procedure are analyzed and the impact of the variability of item weights on inspection errors are investigated. Two approaches, the cost assessment approach and the bicriterion decision making approach, are presented for the implementation of this inspection procedure.

  • This study investigates the effect of a combination of homeopathic medicine and electro- acupuncture in two patients with breast cancer and severe liver disease who could not receive standard anaesthesia therapy due to liver problems. Specifically, measurable and quantifiable parameters were used to evaluate whether an integrated approach-consisting of electro- acupuncture and a homeopathic medicine diluted above Avogadro's limit (that is, above a potency of 12CH) during the pre-surgical, surgical and post-surgical phases -can improve general well-being of a patient undergoing breast cancer surgery. In breast cancer surgery, we employed an integrated approach consisting of induction with hypnotics and muscle relaxants, followed by maintenance with anaesthetic gas, combined with a homeopathic treatment (Arnica montana 15CH and Apis mellifica 15CH) before and after surgery and an electro- acupuncture treatment performed in the pre- and post-surgical phases without any analgesic/pain relieving medications. Both of the patients treated with the integrated approach improved their overall condition without need for other common pain relieving medicines. Additionally, thanks to their rapid awakening, the patients were not relocated to a protected area and the hospitalization was shorter. A multidisciplinary approach incorporating homeopathic medicine and electro-acupuncture can be a solution for patients who need or ask about a different and/or safer alternative to the standard treatment. This approach can offer a safe, much less expensive, non-invasive and viable alternative for such cases. Moreover it can be useful for an opioids free anesthesia.

  • 더미 역설에 대한 양진주의적 해결전략이란 경계사례를 참인 모순으로 이해하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 전략을 수용하기 위해서는 모순을 인정하지 않는 대안의 가능성을 먼저 고려해야 한다. 대안이 있다면 굳이 모순을 인정할 필요는 없기 때문이다. 이와 관련해서, 벨은 모순을 인정하지 않으면서 양진주의가 갖는 장점을 모두 갖는 대안을 제시한다. 필자는 이 글에서 이러한 벨의 주장이 성립하지 않음을 보일 것이다. 필자의 논의는 주로 울타리 도식(inclosure schema)에 기초한다. 필자는 더미 역설이 울타리 도식을 만족함을 보인 후, 이 도식에 기초해서 절단점의 존재를 거부하는 대안들이 모두 모순을 함축한다는 것을 보일 것이다. 물론, 이러한 대안에는 벨의 대안 역시 포함된다. 그리고 이것은 모호성에 대한 직관 즉, '관용'을 수용하는 한, 양진주의를 받아들여야 한다는 것을 의미한다.
