본 연구에서는 기후변화 고려는 한 나라 또는 한 도시의 경제, 사회, 환경의 조화와 균형을 이루는 지속가능발전의 원칙에 부합하고 그 도시의 규모나 기능, 특징을 최대한 보존할 수 있는 회복력 있는 도시를 만들기 위한 중요한 척도가 되는 것이다. 이러한 관점에서 아일랜드 더블린도시에서 구축·운영되고 있는 대중교통시스템은 녹색교통을 통한 도시의 체계를 잘 보여주고 있다. 따라서 아일랜드, 더블린이 기후변화를 고려한 선제적 대중교통지향적인 도시개발(TOD)을 실현하고 있다는 점에서 더블린이 갖추고 있는 도시기반여건을 바탕으로 연구의 방법을 SWOT분석을 통해 내부상황 요인(강점과 약점)과 외부상황 요인(기회와 위협)으로 분류하여 대중교통지향적인 도시개발 전략과 정책적 시사점을 제시하는 데 목적을 두었다.

Recent generations of smartphones offer accelerometer sensors as a standard feature. While this has led to the development of a number of related applications (apps), there has been no study on their comparative or individual performance against a benchmark. This paper investigates the comparative performance of a number of smartphone accelerometer apps amongst themselves and to a calibrated benchmark accelerometer. A total of 12 apps were selected for testing out of 90 following an initial review. The selected apps were subjected to sinusoidal vibration testing of varying frequency and the response of each compared against the calibrated baseline accelerometer. The performance of apps was quantified using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and test of significance was carried out. The apps were then compared for a realistic dynamic scenario of measuring the acceleration response of a bridge due to the passage of a French Train $\grave{a}$ Grande Vitesse (TGV) in a laboratory environment.

The European Union (EU) Water Framework Directive (WFD) (2000/60/EC) was transposed into Irish law by Statutory Instrument Nos. 722 of 2003, 413 of 2005 and 218 of 2009, which set out a new strategy and process to protect and enhance Ireland's water resources and water-dependent ecosystems. The Directive requires a novel, holistic, integrated, and iterative process to address Ireland's natural waters based on a series of six-year planning cycles. Key success factors in implementing the Directive include an in-depth and balanced treatment of the ecological, economic, institutional and cultural aspects of river basin management planning. Introducing this visionary discipline for the management of sustainable water resources requires a solemn commitment to a new mindset and an overarching monitoring and management regime which hitherto has never been attempted in Ireland. The WFD must be implemented in conjunction with a myriad of complimentary directives and associated legislation, addressing such key related topics as flood/drought management, biodiversity protection, land use planning, and water/wastewater and diffuse pollution engineering and regulation. The critical steps identified for river basin management planning under the WFD include: 1) characterization and classification of water bodies (i.e., how healthy are Irish waters?), 2) definition of significant water pressures (e.g., agriculture, forestry, septic tanks), 3) enhancement of measures for designated protected areas, 4) establishment of objectives for all surface and ground waters, and 5) integrating these critical steps into a comprehensive and coherent river basin management plan and associated programme of measures. A parallel WFD implementation programme critically depends on an effective environmental management system (EMS) approach with a plan-do-check-act cycle applied to each of the evolving six-year plans. The proactive involvement of stakeholders and the general public is a key element of this EMS approach.

Conventional seismic design of concentrically braced frame (CBF) structures suggests that the gusset plate connecting a steel brace to beams and/or columns should be designed as non-dissipative in earthquakes, while the steel brace members should be designed as dissipative elements. These design intentions lead to thicker and larger gusset plates in design on one hand and a potentially under-rated contribution of gusset plates in design, on the other hand. In contrast, research has shown that compact and thinner gusset plates designed in accordance with the elliptical clearance method rather than the conventional standard linear clearance method can enhance system ductility and energy dissipation capacity in concentrically braced steel frames. In order to assess the two design methods, six cyclic push-over tests on full scale models of concentric braced steel frame structures were conducted. Furthermore, a 3D finite element (FE) shell model, incorporating state-of-the-art tools and techniques in numerical simulation, was developed that successfully replicates the response of gusset plate and bracing members under fully reversed cyclic axial loading. Direct measurements from strain gauges applied to the physical models were used primarily to validate FE models, while comparisons of hysteresis load-displacement loops from physical and numerical models were used to highlight the overall performance of the FE models. The study shows the two design methods attain structural response as per the design intentions; however, the elliptical clearance method has a superiority over the standard linear method as a fact of improving detailing of the gusset plates, enhancing resisting capacity and improving deformability of a CBF structure. Considerations were proposed for improvement of guidelines for detailing gusset plates and bracing members in CBF structures.

Marketing practice varies among firms. However, the prescriptive literature emphasises a universal view of practice, a 'one size fits all' view. This paper addresses the issue of explaining diversity in marketing practice in competitive space and in time. Diversity in competitive space reflects the existence of different routes to high performance. Diversity in time reflects some combination of change in the individual firm and change in a population of firms. In the former case, diversity is shaped by organisational change; in the latter by the disbandment and founding of firms in the population. In so far as diversity is the norm, the manner in which practice will be shaped by evolutionary processes is considered. Fnally, the role of the academy as one of the forces driving the evolutionary process is discussed. Miles and Snow's (1978, 1986) work is taken as a main point of departure in the search for explanation and ecological and evolutionary concepts are drawn on for support and to suggest an explanation for the nature of diversity over time.

목 적 : 최근 HHV-8는 면역력이 정상인 소아에서 원발성 감염에 의해 발진이 동반된 발열성 질환을 유발하는 것으로 알려지고 있다. 본 연구는 국내 정상 소아의 항 HHV-8 항체 양성률을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법 : 항 HHV-8 항체의 양성률을 파악하기 위하여 인제의대 상계백병원을 방문한 환자 중에서, 최근 3주간 발열 증상이 없었던 건강한 소아 112명의 혈청을 대상으로 하였다. Lytic 바이러스 항원에 대한 IgG 항체 검사는 간접면역 형광검사법, HHV-8의 ORF에 대한 특이 항체 검사는 peptide mix ELISA 검사법을 사용하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환아는 총 112명이었으며 남아 64명, 여아 48명이었다. 1세 이하의 연령군은 17명이었으며, 2~5세 연령군 24명, 6~9세 연령군 24명, 10~15세 연령군은 47명이었다. HHV-8에 대한 혈청 항체 양성률은 간접 면역 형광검사법으로 3.5%(4/112), ELSIA로는 1.8%(2/112)였다. 결 론 : 국내 소아의 HHV-8 항체의 양성률은 비교적 낮았지만 앞으로 발진이 동반된 발열성 질환에서 HHV-8의 역할에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 보인다.

Applications of energy harvesting from mechanical vibrations is becoming popular but the full potential of such applications is yet to be explored. This paper addresses this issue by considering an application of energy harvesting for the dual objective of serving as an indicator of structural health monitoring (SHM) and extent of control. Variation of harvested energy from an undamaged baseline is employed for this purpose and the concept is illustrated by implementing it for active vibrations of a pipe structure. Theoretical and experimental analyses are carried out to determine the energy harvesting potential from undamaged and damaged conditions. The use of energy harvesting as indicator for control is subsequently investigated, considering the effect of the introduction of a tuned mass damper (TMD). It is found that energy harvesting can be used for the detection and monitoring of the location and magnitude of damage occurring within a pipe structure. Additionally, the harvested energy acts as an indicator of the extent of reduction of vibration of pipes when a TMD is attached. This paper extends the range of applications of energy harvesting devices for the monitoring of built infrastructure and illustrates the vast potential of energy harvesters as smart sensors.
