  • Mushrooms are a recognized component of the human diet, with versatile medicinal properties. Some mushrooms are popular worldwide for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. However, some species are dangerous because they cause toxicity. There are many reports explaining the medicinal and/or toxic effects of these fungal species. Cases of serious human poisoning generally caused by the improper identification of toxic mushroom species are reported every year. Different substances responsible for the fatal signs and symptoms of mushroom toxicity have been identified from various poisonous mushrooms. Toxicity studies of mushroom species have demonstrated that mushroom poisoning can cause adverse effects such as liver failure, bradycardia, chest pain, seizures, gastroenteritis, intestinal fibrosis, renal failure, erythromelalgia, and rhabdomyolysis. Correct categorization and better understanding are essential for the safe and healthy consumption of mushrooms as functional foods as well as for their medicinal use.

  • 잠재적인 파괴위험 가능성이 있는 270여 개소의 절개사면을 조사하여 지반구성, 사면 높이 및 경사도 현황을 파악하였다. 위험 절개사면의 84% 이상이 암반사면 혹은 혼합사면이었으며, 위험 사면의 높이는 대략 10∼30인 경우가 72% 이오T다. 또한, 일부 붕괴 사면에 대해서는 다양한 방법에 의한 역해석을 실시하여 사면파괴의 원인을 분석하였다. 사면 파괴의 주원인은 하절기의 집중호우에 의한 것이 대부분이었으나, 건설 중의 발파진동도 공사 중의 사면 안정성에 영향을 주고 있다.

  • The internal leaks of RCS pressure boundary valves may cause thermal fatigue crack because of the TASCS in RCS branch line. After experienced unisolable piping failures in several PWR plants, many studies have peformed to understand these phenomena and various methods were applied to ensure the structural integrity of piping. In this paper, the cause of unisolable piping failures and the alternatives to prevent recurrence of failure were reviewed. Also, the severity of piping failure including susceptibility of valve leaks was evaluated for the Westinghouse 2-loop plant. The length of turbulent penetration on RHR inlet piping was measured and, thermal fluid analysis and fatigue analysis was performed for this piping. As a means of ensuring the structural integrity, temperature monitoring and specialized UT and other alternatives were compared for the further application.

  • Nonlinear transient analysis is executed to obtain the temperature distribution, and to evaluate the thermal stress of brake drum by using FEA(finite element analysis). The result induces the reason why hair crack and the cause of drum failure occurs and the way how stress of drum decreases. The temperature of drum is in proportion to the drum thickness and it processes nonlinear changes at every points of drum. The higher bulk temperature raises, the more stress difference between inner surface and outer surface makes and the highest bulk temperature is at the corner section. It is necessary for the diminishment of the drum stress to make air flow, between drum and rim, move lively and use the materials of higher conductivity. The hair crack and the cause of drum failure seem to be started at the near corner section.

  • Intussusception is common cause of intestinal obstruction in children. Most of intussusceptions can be treated with non-operative reduction using air or barium. However, about 10% patients need operative treatment due to failure of reduction, peritonitis, and recurrence after reduction. We introduce our experience of laparoscopic surgery for intussusception. From April 2010 to March 2013, we reviewed 57 children who diagnosed intussusception. Twelve patients underwent an operation. The cause of operation was 7 of failure of air reduction and 5 of recurrence after air reduction. Median age was 21.5 months (range: 5.0~57.7 months) and 11 children (91.7%) underwent successful laparoscopic reduction. Median operating time was 50 minutes (range: 30~20 minutes) and median hospital days was 4.5 days (range: 3~8 days). One patient had a leading point as a heterotopic pancreas and underwent bowel resection through conversion. There was neither intra-operative nor postoperative complication. Laparoscopic reduction for intussusception can bring an excellent cosmetic effect with high success rate.

  • The 242 patients were operated due to chronic empyema in Hanyang University Hospital From Jan, 1983 to Aug, 1991, we operated 17 patients by modified.Schede`s thoracoplasty with myoplasty and we concluded to next scentences. 1. The age of patients were varied from 28 to 65[Average 39.1] and male preponderance was seen[more than 3 times]. 2. The preoperative cause of disease were tuberculosis in 14 patients[3 patients were associated with aspergillosis, and 1 patient was associated vrith actinomycosis], lung abscess in 2 patients, and haemophilia in 1 patient. 3. The Preoperative duration of empyema were varied from 1 month to 30 years[Average 49.8 month], and the duration from pulmonary resection to thoracoplasty were 1 month to 13.5 years[Average 55 month] except 3 patients, who were operated pneunectomy with thoracoplasty at the same time. 4. The total number of thoracoplasty were 19, because in 2 patients, we operated 2 steps, and we failed in 6 cases, so the success rate was 68.5%. 5. In failure analysis of 6 cases, the cause were obliteration failure in 3 cases, inadequete drainage in 1 case, and in the other 1 case was mixed type. 6. From 1990 to 1991, there were no death associated with operation and there were 1 failure, so the success rate was greatly improved. 7. The bronchopleural fistula or spontaneous rupture of trachea were seen in 12 cases, and the success rate was high in absent cases.

  • Based on the results of Probabilistic Safety Assessment(PSA) for a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Common Cause Failure(CCF) events have been recognized as one of the main contributors to the risk. Also, the CCF data and estimation method used in domestic PSA models have been pointed out as an issue with respect to the quality. The existing method of MGL and non-staggered testing even widely used were considered conservative in estimating the safety and had a limited capability in uncertainty analyses. Therefore, this paper presents the CCF estimation using a new generic data source and Alpha factor method. The analyses showed that Alpha factor and staggered method are effective in estimating the CCF contribution and risk insights of reference plant. This method will be a common bases for the optimization of new design for the construction plants as well as for the updating of safety assessment on the operating nuclear power plants.

  • The article by Tae-Gu Kim et al. conducted elastic FE modeling, which was inappropriate for fracture of elastic-plastic chain material (11.3% of elongation). FE analysis results and the findings in the fracto-graphic analysis did not tally but contradicted each other. The article identified "incorrect installation"/bending forces as the root cause while FE results of the chain under bending forces showed very low stresses at fracture locations but the highest stress in the middle of shank of the chain. The article's "step-like topographies indicating the fracture due to bending moment rather than uniaxial tension" lacked scientific support. The load value carried by each chain section under bending/incorrect installation was only half of that under tension, thus the article using same load value in FE simulation comparison for bending and tension was incorrect. The real cause of the chain fracture was likely improper checking the lifted load or/and using the wrong chain with much lower safety working load.

  • 본 논문에서는 전력케이블 및 그 부속설비에 대한 사고원인을 분석한 사례를 서술하였다. 사고원인을 정밀하게 분석하기 위해서 케이블 외관의 육안검사 단계부터 케이블 해체 단계까지 전기적 검사 및 화학적 검사를 실시하였다. 분석결과, 전력케이블은 시공방법을 준수하지 않아서 수축튜브의 마감부위에 전계가 집중되어 가압 이후 지속적인 부분방전이 발생하여 케이블에 누적된 스트레스로 인해 발생한 고장으로 추정되었다.

  • A major concern on high-energy centrifugal pump is the potential for interaction of two-phase flow phenomena with mechanical response of the pumping elements. The other concern is the pressure pulsations created from trailing edge of the impeller blade and flow separation and recirculation at partial load in centrifugal pumps. These interactions generating between rotor and casing cause dynamic pulsation on pump and exciting pipeline vibration. The higher severity responses, the more lead to failure of pump and system components. Finally, it cause severe axial vibration of single stage pump due to the hydraulic instability in flow condition below BEP.
