Structural inertial interaction is a representative the effect of dynamic soil-foundation-structure interaction (SFSI), which leads to a relative displacement between soil and foundation, period lengthening, and damping increasing phenomena. However, for a system with a significantly heavy foundation, the dynamic inertia of the foundation influences and interacts with the structural seismic response. The structure-to-foundation mass ratio (MR) quantifies the distribution of mass between the structure and foundation for a structure on a shallow foundation. Although both systems exhibit the same vertical factor of safety (FS_v), the MR and corresponding seismic responses attributed to the structure and foundation masses may differ. This study explored the influence of MR on the permanent deformation and seismic response of soil-foundation-structure system considering SFSI via numerical simulations. Given that numerous dimensionless parameters of SFSI described its influence on the structural seismic response, the parameters, except for MR and FS_v, were fixed for the sensitivity analysis. The results demonstrated that the foundation inertia of heavier foundations induced more settlement due to sliding behavior of heavily-loaded systems. Moreover, the structural inertia of heavier structures evidently exhibited foundation rocking behavior, which results in a more elongated natural period of the structure for lightly-loaded systems.

Purpose: This pilot study aims to conceptualize a new green marketing mix for retail consumers based on Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) model. Moreover, it also aims to conceptualize a testable research model of new green marketing mix with consumers' green purchasing behavior, and to validate the measurement model with traditional as well as modern suggested validating techniques. Research design, data and methodology: A pilot test data from 75 respondents of retail buyers of energy-efficient electric appliances in Pakistan were tested for the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) by examining a measurement model of the construct through different validation techniques (like Composite Reliability, McDonald's Omega (ω), rho (ρA), HTMT, etc.) as heretofore these scales were not validated through these modern methods. Results: The results revealed that the instrument has a certain degree of reliability and validity through different validating techniques. All the measurement items reach the suggested threshold values. Conclusions: Therefore, this study conceptualized an integrated framework of all the three stakeholders of the environment (government, companies, and public or consumers) to achieve environmental sustainability. Hence, future studies can extend these findings and conduct a full-scale study to establish an empirical relationship between the 5G's of green marketing for retailing businesses and consumers' green purchase behavior.

목적 : 얇은 박막을 위에 얹은 TLD 선량계의 반응 값에 영향을 미치는 인자를 조사하였고, 특히, 금속박막을 얹은 TLD 선량계의 광자에너지와 표면 흡수선량에 대한 의존성을 조사하였다. 방법 및 재료 : 본 연구에서는 TLD-100과 TLD-100 위에 얹은 Slt은 물질로는 주석, 금, 그리고 TE 플라스틱 판을 사용하였다. 각 금속 박막의 두께는 0.1 mm, TE 플라스틱 판의 두께는 1 mm였고 각 박막의 면적은 TLD-100의 면적과 같이 하였다. 방사선치료에 많이 산이는 6 MV에서 15 MV사이의 광자에너지에 대한 TLD-100의 반응감도와 금박막을 얹은 TLD-100의 반응감도, 그리고 주석 박막을 얹은 TLD-100의 반응감도를 비교해 보았다. 결과 : 금속 박막을 얹은 TLD의 경우 표면 흡수선량의 증가가 명백히 나타나고, 금 박막을 얹은 TLD의 경우 10MV에서 정상 TLD보다 약 1.83배 정도 과잉 반응하는 것으로 관측되었으며, 흡수선량에 따른 반응감도의 변화는 주석을 얹은 TLD의 경우가 가장 작았다 금속 박막을 얹은 TLD의 일반 TLD에 대한 상대 반응감도는 에너지에 대한 의존성을 거의 나타내지 않았다. 그리고 311은 박막의 조직에 대한 등가 두께에 따라 반응감도가 증가하였다. 결론 : 금속박막을 얹은 TLD 선량계의 반응값이 고 에너지(6-15 MV)에 대한 의존성을 거의 나타내지 않았으며, 흡수선량에 대한 선형성도 뛰어난 것으로 관측되었다. 따라서 금속박막을 얹은 TLD 선량계는 매우 작은 크기의 광자빔과 표면흡수선량의 측정에 매우 적합한 것으로 사료된다.

의약물질은 다양한 경로를 통해 수질환경으로 유입된다. 수계에 의약물질은 ppt에서 ppb 단위의 낮은 농도로 종종 검출되고 있으므로 적절한 관리방안과 기술적 대안을 찾기 위해 최적화된 미량분석기술을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. LC-MS/MS 최적화에 있어서 단변수 변화분석이 선호되어 왔다. 그러나 분석기기의 독립변수들은 서로 영향을 주고받기 때문에 여러 독립변수를 동시에 변화시키는 방법을 통해 최적조건을 탐색해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 반응표면 분석법을 최근 문제가 되고 있는 항생제 설파메톡사졸의 LC-MS/MS 분석에 활용하였다. 먼저 선별실험을 통해 최적화 대상 독립변수를 조각화에너지(Fragmentation Energy)와 충돌전압(Collision Voltage)으로 선정하였다. 조각화에너지와 충돌전압을 동시변화시키고 각 조건의 반응을 다항식으로 모사하였다. 회귀분석결과 상관계수 $R^2$값은 0.9947를 나타내어 높은 정확도를 보였으며, 무작위 조건에서 반응의 예측값과 관측값 사이의 오차율이 3.41%로 작은 차이를 보였다. 따라서 RSA에 의해 도출된 모델이 조각화에너지와 충돌전압의 변화에 의한 LC-MS/MS의 반응을 성공적으로 모사하는 것으로 사료되었다. 이때 모델을 통해 확인된 최적조건은 조각화에너지 116.6과 충돌전압 10.9 eV이다. 이러한 반응표면분석법은 고체상 추출조건 및 액체크로마토그래피 조건의 최적화에 확장되어 활용될 수 있다.

The calibration methods of neutron-measuring devices such as the neutron survey meter have advantages and disadvantages. To compare the calibration factors obtained by the shadow cone method and semi-empirical method, 10 neutron survey meters of five different types were used in this study. This experiment was performed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI; Daejeon, South Korea), and the calibration neutron fields were constructed using a $^{252}Californium$ ($^{252}Cf$) neutron source, which was positioned in the center of the neutron irradiation room. The neutron spectra of the calibration neutron fields were measured by a europium-activated lithium iodide scintillator in combination with KAERI's Bonner sphere system. When the shadow cone method was used, 10 single moderator-based survey meters exhibited a smaller calibration factor by as much as 3.1-9.3% than that of the semi-empirical method. This finding indicates that neutron survey meters underestimated the scattered neutrons and attenuated neutrons (i.e., the total scatter corrections). This underestimation of the calibration factor was attributed to the fact that single moderator-based survey meters have an under-ambient dose equivalent response in the thermal or thermal-dominant neutron field. As a result, when the shadow cone method is used for a single moderator-based survey meter, an additional correction and the International Organization for Standardization standard 8529-2 for room-scattered neutrons should be considered.

It is well known that polycrystalline ceramics fabricated via the templated grain growth method along a desired crystallographic direction, generally along [001], exhibits enhanced piezoelectric response. Generally, the piezoelectric properties of textured ceramics depend on the degree of texture, as piezoelectric properties peak in single crystals. Therefore, understanding the relationship between the degree of texture and piezoelectric properties is fundamental. Here, we present state-of-the-art textured piezoceramics by focusing on critical issues such as the quality of templates used for texturing and proper evaluation of the degree of texture analysis. The relationship between the degree of texture and its impact on the properties of textured materials is exclusively defined by the Lotgering factor (L.F.) calculated from the X-ray diffraction profiles. Additionally, we show that L.F. is not a suitable indicator of the degree of texture, contrary to previous interpretations. This statement was further supported by the fact that the true degree of texture can be better quantified by the multiples of random distribution. This argument was justified by comparing the quantitative values of the degree of texture obtained from both methods to those of the piezoelectric charge coefficient of textured and random ceramics.

Structural control through integration of passive damping devices within the building structure has been increasingly implemented internationally in the last years and has proven to be a most promising strategy for earthquake safety. In the present paper an alternative configuration of an innovative energy dissipation mechanism that consists of slender tension only bracing members with closed loop and a hysteretic damper is investigated in its dynamic behavior. The implementation of the adaptable dual control system, ADCS, in frame structures enables a dual function of the component members, leading to two practically uncoupled systems, i.e., the primary frame, responsible for the normal vertical and horizontal forces and the closed bracing-damper mechanism, for the earthquake forces and the necessary energy dissipation. Three representative international earthquake motions of differing frequency contents, duration and peak ground acceleration have been considered for the numerical verification of the effectiveness and properties of the SDOF systems with the proposed ADCS-configuration. The control mechanism may result in significant energy dissipation, when the geometrical and mechanical properties, i.e., stiffness and yield force of the integrated damper, are predefined. An optimum damper ratio, DR, defined as the ratio of the stiffness to the yield force of the hysteretic damper, is proposed to be used along with the stiffness factor of the damper's- to the primary frame's stiffness, in order for the control mechanism to achieve high energy dissipation and at the same time to prevent any increase of the system's maximum base shear and relative displacements. The results are summarized in a preliminary design methodology for ADCS.

The stability of cable-stayed bridges is an important factor considered during design. In recent years, the novel spatial diamond-shaped bridge pylon has shown its advantages in various aspects, including the static response and the stability performance with the development of cable-stayed bridge towards long-span and heavy-load. Based on the energy approach, this paper presents a practical calculation method of the completed state stability of a cable-stayed bridge with two spatial diamond-shaped pylons. In the analysis, the possible transverse buckling of the girder, the top pylon column, and the mid pylon columns are considered simultaneously. The total potential energy of the spatial diamond-shaped pylon cable-stayed bridge is calculated. And based on the principle of stationary potential energy, the transverse buckling coefficients and corresponding buckling modes are obtained. Furthermore, an example is calculated using the design parameters of the Changtai Yangtze River Bridge, a 1176 m cable-stayed bridge under construction in China, to verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method in practical engineering. The critical loads and the buckling modes derived by the proposed method are in good agreement with the results of the finite element method. Finally, cable-stayed bridges varying pylon and girder stiffness ratios and pylon geometric dimensions are calculated to discuss the applicability and advantages of the proposed method. And a further discussion on the degrees of the polynomial functions when assuming buckling modes are presented.

K-REM［1］, which is under development as a realistic evaluation model of large break LOCA, is applied to the analysis of cold leg guillotine break of Ulchin 3&4. Fuel parameters on which statistical analysis of their effects on the peak cladding temperature (PCT) are made and system parameters on which the concept of limiting value approach (LVA) are applied, are determined from the single parameter sensitivity study. 3 parameters of fuel gap conductance, fuel thermal conductivity and power peaking factor are selected as fuel related ones and 4 parameters of axial power shape, reactor power, decay heat and the gas pressure of safety injection tank (SIT) are selected as plant system related ones. Response surface of PCT is generated from the plant calculation results and on which Monte Carlo sampling is made to get plant application uncertainty which is statistically combined with code uncertainty to produce the 95th percentile PCT. From the break spectrum analysis, blowdown PCT of 1350.23 K and reflood PCT of 1195.56 K are obtained for break discharge coefficients of 0.8 and 0.5, respectively.
