  • The seamless integration of the architecture and structure of a tall building plays a key role in establishing a recognizable and iconic design. The structural system developed for Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank Headquarters (SRCBH) utilizes enhanced structural innovations unique to the tower's geometry to improve structural and sustainability performance. SRCBH utilizes a steel diagrid system pulled outside of the enclosure line with diaphragm forces resolved primarily by corner diagonal beams. During the design process the structural systems underwent performance based design and optimization for wind and seismic loading. Resiliency was prioritized for structural design as well as fire resistance. More closely integrating the structure of a building with its architecture and sustainability goals can lead to unique and innovative towers with a timeless expression.

  • 격막 및 무격막 방식의 전해수 처리에 의한 샐러리 및 생굴의 세정처리에 따른 살균 및 저장성 효과를 조사하였다. 샐러리를 대상으로 세정처리에 따른 저장중의 품질변화를 살펴본 결과, 총균수는 전해수 처리구에서 무처리구에 비하여 약 1/200∼1/1,000 수준, 대장균군수는 약 1/100 수준으로 감소하였다. 그리고 수분함량, pH, 경도, 비타민 C 및 잔류염소 함량 등의 변화는 저장 10일째까지 처리구에 관계없이 거의 유사한 경향을 보이거나 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 색도는 모든 처리구에서 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 L값과 a값은 서서히 증가함을 보여 주었으며, 색차($\Delta$E)값은 저장 5일 경과 후부터는 처리구에 관계없이 6 수준으로 초기치와의 차이를 식별할 수 있는 정도로 나타났다. 종합적 기호도는 전해수 처리구는 저장 후 5일째까지는 수도수 및 염소계 세정제로 처리한 샐러리에 비해 다소 양호한 것으로 나타났으나 저장 5일째 이후는 수도수 및 염소계 세정제로 처리한 샐러리와 유사하거나 다소 떨어지는 기호도를 나타내었다. 무격막 시스템으로 제조한 약알칼리성 전해수로 처리한 생굴은 해수로 처리한 시료에 비해 보관 48시간 후 VBN은 약 3 mg%, 총균수는 약 1∼2 log cycle, 대장균은 2 log cycle 정도 낮은 값을 나타내었고 또한, 처리직후 총균수도 해수로 처리한 생굴에 비해 1 log cycle 정도 낮은 초기 수준을 보이며 보관 24∼48시간까지는 뚜렷한 증가를 나타내지 않았다.

  • 현재 PET/CT 검사에서 저선량 CT를 이용한 감쇠 보정을 사용하고 있다. 하지만 환자 호흡으로 인한 횡격막 부근의 저선량 CT 영상과 Emission 영상의 불일치로 감쇠 보정영상에서 Artifact가 발생하는 경우가 있다. 본 연구는 보정방법 중 CTAC Shift를 이용하여 환자의 호흡에 의한 Artifact의 감소를 연구했다. 2012년 3월부터 9월까지 PET/CT Discovery 600 (GE Healthcare, MI, USA) 장비를 이용하여 호흡에 의한 Artifact가 발생한 환자 30명을 대상으로 했다. Artifact가 발생한 환자는 횡격막 부분을 추가검사하였고, 전신 검사 시 Artifact가 발생한 영상을 CTAC Shift를 이용하여 보정했다. Artifact 발생 영상, 추가 검사영상, CTAC Shift 보정 영상의 육안적 평가는 핵의학 전문의 1명과 5년 이상 근무한 방사선사 4명에 의해 1-5점으로 나누어 평가했다. 또한 각 영상의 표준섭취화 계수를 ANOVA를 이용하여 비교했다. Artifact 발생 영상에 비해 추가 검사 영상과 CTAC Shift 보정 영상은 육안적 평가에서 상대적으로 높은 점수를 받았다. 추가 검사 영상과 CTAC Shift 보정 영상은 표준섭취화 계수의 ANOVA 결과, 높은 상관관계를 갖고 있으며, 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. PET/CT 검사 시 환자의 호흡에 의한 Artifact가 발생 할 경우 추가 검사로 인한 검사 시간이 증가하여 환자의 불편 뿐 아니라 피폭도 증가한다. 하지만 추가 검사 없이 CTAC Shift를 이용하여 보정된 영상을 획득한다면 불필요한 피폭 및 추가 검사도 감소하며, 정확한 진단에 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

  • In order to compare numerical analyses made by Song and Kim needed for predicting gas and water filling with experimental results we conducted an experiment to recover a test projectile (43.7 kg with a 155 mm diameter) at a velocity of 775 m/s in a soft recovery system with a length of 179 m using pressurized gas and filled water. The soft recovery system consisting of a series of pressure tubes had a diaphragm, piston, and water plug for filling the pressurized gas and water. We installed a continuous wave Doppler radar system for velocity measurements of the test projectile travelling in the pressure tubes and pressure transducers for measuring the pressure in the soft recovery system. Continuous wave Doppler radar has the advantage of achieving real-time measurements of the velocity of a test projectile. The velocity-time curve of the test projectile, measured using the continuous wave Doppler radar, and the pressure profile were compared with the numerical analysis results. The experiment results show good agreement with the numerical analysis results based on the one-dimensional Euler equation with an HLL Riemann solver.

  • Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the influence of inspiratory muscle exercise using visual biofeedback and inspiratory muscle exercise with diaphragm breathing retraining in stroke patients in regard to inspiratory muscle activity and respiratory function and to provide fundamental information on intervention for improvement of pulmonary function in stroke patients. Methods: The current study measured and analyzed inspiratory muscle activity and pulmonary function of 15 randomly selected subjects in a Biofeedback inspiratory muscle exercise (BIE) group that uses visual feedback and 15 subjects in the Diaphragm breathing exercise (DBE) group that uses breathing retraining before and after intervention. Intervention was performed for 30 minutes, 5 times a week, for 8 weeks. Subjects were measured for muscle activity of upper trapezius muscle and lattisimus dorsi muscle using a surface electromyography system and maximum inspiratory pressure was measured using a respiratory measurement device. For homogeneity test of subjects, independent t-test was performed and ANCOVA was performed for comparison of inspiratory muscle activity and pulmonary function between groups. Results: In the study results, the BIE group showed more significant muscle activity than the DBE group in upper trapezius muscle and lattisimus dorsi muscle (p<0.001). In addition, the BIE group showed more pressure than the DBE group in maximum inspiratory pressure (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on the current study, performing biofeedback respiration exercise simultaneously with breathing retraining in stroke patients can provide more efficient respiratory physical therapy. In addition, it is considered that consistent study on the effectiveness is necessary to further improve clinical availability.

  • Recently many high-rise apartment buildings are constructed using the box system which is composed only of concrete walls and slabs. Commercial softwares such as ETABS used for the analysis of high-rise apartment buildings are employing the rigid diaphragm assumption for simplicity in the analysis procedure. In general the flexural stiffness of floor slabs are ignored in the analysis, This assumption may be reasonable for the estimation of seismic response of framed structures. But in the case of the box system used in the apartment buildings floor slabs has major effects on the lateral stiffness of the structure. So if the flexural stiffness of slabs in the box system is ignored the lateral stiffness may be significantly underestimated, For these reasons it is recommended to use plate elements to represent the floor slabs. In the study A typical frame structure and a box system structure are chosen as the example structure. When a 20 story frame structure is subjected to the static lateral loads the displacements of the roof are 15.33cm and 17.52cm for the cases with and without the flexural stiffness of the floor slabs. And in case of box system the roof displacement was reduced from 16.18cm to 8.61cm The model without the flexural stiffness of floor slabs turned out to elongate the natural periods of vibration accordingly.

  • In recent years a unique drug delivery system named as the transdermal drug delivery system has been developed which can deliver drug particles to the human skin without using any external needle. The solid drug particles are accelerated by means of high speed gas flow through a shock tube imparting enough momentum so that particles can penetrate through the outer layer of the skin. Different systems have been tried and tested in order to make it more convenient for clinical use. One of them is the contoured shock tube system (CST). The contoured shock tube consists of a classical shock tube connected with a correctly expanded supersonic nozzle. A set of bursting membrane are placed upstream of the nozzle section which retains the drug particle as well as initiates the gas flow (act as a diaphragm in a shock tube). The key feature of the CST system is it can deliver particles with a controllable velocity and spatial distribution. The flow dynamics of the contoured shock tube is analyzed numerically using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). To validate the numerical approach pressure histories in different sections on the CST are compared with the experimental results. The key features of the flow field have been studied and analyzed in details. To investigate the performance of the CST system flow behavior through the shock tube under different operating conditions are also observed.

  • The therapy of injecting a fixed amount of a prescribed drug for a predetermined time is an effective treatment in relieving pain during anticancer treatments. Due to recent medical technology development, cancer is currently classified as a disease that can be managed in the patient's lifetime. If patients were able to use a drug delivery system that was portable, sustainable and had an accurate flow control, they would be able to inject medication whenever they need. In this study we developed a piezoelectric micropump for a drug delivery system by designing a pump chamber, check valve and diaphragm. We also developed a driving circuit that consumes low power and to which we applied a variety of signals. We fabricated a portable drug delivery system with this piezoelectric micropump and driving circuit. In addition, through a performance test, we confirmed that the system can precisely control the drug flow rate.

  • The purpose is to develop a system to reduce the organ movement from the respiration during the 3DCRT or IMRT. This research reports the experience of utilizing personally developed system for mobile tumors. The patients clinical database was structured for 10 mobile tumors and patient setup error measurement and immobilization device effects were investigated. The RMRD system is composed of the respiratory motion reduction device utilized in prone position and abdominal strip device(ASD) utilized in the supine position, and the analysis program, which enables the analysis on patients setup reproducibility. Dose to normal tissue between patients with RMRDs and without RMRDs was analyzed by comparing the normal tissue volume, field margins and dose volume histogram(DVH) using fluoroscopy and CT images. And, reproducibility of patients setup verify by utilization of digital images. When patients breathed freely, average movement of diaphragm was 1.2 cm in prone position in contrast to 1.6 cm in supine position. In prone position, difference in diaphragm movement with and without RMRDs was 0.5 cm and 1.2 cm, respectively, showing that PTV margins could be reduced to as much as 0.7 cm. With RMRDs, volume of the irradiated normal tissue (lung, liver) reduced up to 20 % in DVH analysis. Also by obtaining the digital image, reproducibility of patients setup verify by visualization using the real-time image acquisition, leading to practical utilization of our software. Internal organ motion due to breathing can be reduced using RMRDs, which is simple and easy to use in clinical setting. It can reduce the organ motion-related PTV margin, thereby decrease volume of the irradiated normal tissue.
