This paper describes the varying material model, the analysis method and the software development for reinforced concrete circular columns confined by spiral or hoop transverse steel reinforcement and subjected to eccentric loading. The widely used Mander model of concentric loading is adapted here to eccentric loading by developing an auto-adjustable stress-strain curve based on the eccentricity of the axial load or the size of the compression zone to generate more accurate interaction diagrams. The prediction of the ultimate unconfined capacity is straight forward. On the other hand, the prediction of the actual ultimate capacity of confined concrete columns requires specialized nonlinear analysis. This nonlinear procedure is programmed using C-Sharp to build efficient software that can be used for design, analysis, extreme event evaluation and forensic engineering. The software is equipped with an elegant graphics interface that assimilates input data, detail drawings, capacity diagrams and demand point mapping in a single sheet. Options for preliminary design, section and reinforcement selection are seamlessly integrated as well. Improvements to KDOT Bridge Design Manual using this software with reference to AASHTO LRFD are made.

강수지표의 변화시점(change point) 분석을 이용하여 기후의 특성이 점진적 또는 급진적으로 변화하는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 강수지표를 크게 총량(amount), 극치(extremes)와 빈도(frequency)로 구분하였고, 각각의 지수를 RIA(Rainfall Index for Amount), RIE(Rainfall Index for Extremes)와 RIF(Rainfall Index for Frequency)로 정의하였다. 계산된 강수지표의 시간에 따른 변화를 알아보기 위하여 BCP(Bayesian Change Point)를 적용하였다. 분석 결과, 남한지역의 강수지표는 연 강우일수와 200년 빈도 확률 강수량을 제외하고는 모두 증가 하는 것으로 확인되었다. RIA는 울릉도 지점에서 변화지점의 유의성에 대해 매우 명확한 모습을 보였고 RIE는 제천, 서귀포와 구미 등에서 비교적 유의한 결과가 확인되었다. 또한, 1990년대 이후에 변동지점의 개수가 증가하고 있으며, 변동지점의 횡적인 폭 또한 비교적 넓어지고 있었다. 이러한 사실에 근거하여 볼 때 강수에 대한 정상성 가정에 대한 재고가 필요하리라 판단되었다.

In order to design storage-based non-point source management facilities, the aspect of statistical features of the entire precipitation time series should be considered since non-point source pollutions are delivered by continuous rainfall runoffs. The 3-parameter mixed exponential probability density function instead of traditional single-parameter exponential probability density function is applied to represent the probabilistic features of long-term precipitation time series and model urban stormwater runoff. Finally, probability density functions of water quality control basin overflow are derived under two extreme intial conditions. The 31-year continuous precipitation time series recorded in Busan are analyzed to show that the 3-parameter mixed exponential probability density function gives better resolution.

Ten subjects who were going to wear conventional complete dentures were selected for this study. Theree subjects were women and seven were men. The average age was 63.1 years(range : 44 to 76 years). With the Height tracer (extraoral tracing device) in place the subject was instructed to go through the entire range of mandibular movements. The extreme lateral pathway of the incisor point, the so-called Gothic arch, was thereby inscribed by the stylus on the tracing plate. The mandibular movements in this study were peformed voluntarily by the subject(self guided technique) and guided by the dentist(chin-point technique and bimanual technique). The Gothic arch tracings were analysed and the Gothic arch angles and eccentric movement distances were measured. The results were as follows : 1. The apex position of the Gothic arch tracings of mandibular movements in edentulous patients varied both anterioposteriorly and mediolaterally. 2. The Gothic arch tracing had some lateral deviation during protrusion. 3. The average Gothic arch tracing angle was $136.7{\pm}12.0^{\circ}$ by subjects self guided technique, $135.7{\pm}5.9^{\circ}$ by chin-point technique, $136.6{\pm}6.5^{\circ}$ by bimanual technique. But there were no statistical differences in the reliability among the three techniques. 4. The average mandibular eccentric movements were irregular and the mandibular eccentric movement distances varied with a wide range.

Recently, MRI(magnetic resonance imager) scanner is continually used for medical diagnosis and many biomedical researches. When it operates, however, intense noise is generated. The SPL(sound pressure level) of the noise approaches 130 dB especially in 3 T(Tesla) MRI. Meanwhile, more than 3 T MRI scanners have been developed to get higher-resolution images, so louder noise is expected in the future. The intense noise makes patients feel nervous and uncomfortable. Moreover, it could possibly cause hearing loss to patient in extreme cases. For this reason, some active noise control systems have been researched. One of them used feedback Filtered-X LMS(FXLMS) algorithm which is able to control only narrowband noises and possible to diverge in severe case. In this paper, we determine the property of MRI noise. Using the property, we applied a method of open-loop and adaptive control for reducing MRI noise at target point inside bore. We verified performance of the method with computer simulation and preliminary experiment. The results demonstrate that the method can effectively reduce MRI noise at target point.

Objective : There has been no known report on the pain shock after administering Korean bee-venom therapy. Three accounts of pain shock were observed at the Sangji university affiliated Oriental medicine clinic from July 2001 through September 2001. This thesis will inform clinical progression and cautions on administering Korean bee-venom therapy. Methods: We were able to witness different patterns of pain shock during the treatment of degenerative knee joint, progressive oral paralysis, and A.L.S. In order to reduce heat toxicity of the bee venom, needling points were first massaged with the ice for 10 minutes before injecting $0.1{\sim}0.2cc$ of the bee venom. Points of injection were ST36, LI11, LI4 and others. Pain shock occurred after injecting on inner xi-an, outer xi-an and LI4. The phenomena associated with pain shock was recorded in chronological order and local changes were examined. Results: Through examining 3 patients with the pain shock, we managed to observe clinical progression, duration, and time linked changes on specific regions. We also managed to determine sensitive needling points for the pain shock. Conclution: Following results were obtained from 3 patients with the pain shock caused by Korean bee-venom therapy from July 2001 to September 2001. 1. Either positive or negative responses were shown after the pain shock. For case 1, extreme pain was accompanied with muscular convulsion and tremble, ocular hyperemia, delirium, stiffening of extremities, and hyper ventilation which all suggest positive responses. For case 2 and 3, extreme pain was accompanied with facial sweating, asthenia of extremities, pallor face, dizziness, weak voice, and sleepiness which are the signs of negative responses. 2. The time required to recover to stable state took nearly an hour (including sleeping time) and there was no side effect. 3. Precautions required to prevent the pain shock includes full concentration from the practitioner, accurate point location, precise amount of injection, physiological condition and psychological stability of the patient 4. Coping with the pain shock should be similar with a needle shock, and since extreme pain is accompanied, sufficient psychological rest must be provided. 5. Pain shock occurs because the patient cannot tolerate stimulation on the needling point. Thus, symptoms were similar to the needle shock in addition to excruciating pain. Further investigation and research must be done to have better understanding of an immune response and the pain shock associated with Korean bee-venom therapy.

Particle-phase organic tracers (molecular markers) have been shown to be an effective method to assess and quantify the impact of sources of carbonaceous aerosols. These molecular markers have been used in chemical mass balance (CMB) models to apportion primary sources of organic aerosols in regions where the major organic aerosol source categories have been identified. As in the case of all CMB models, all important sources of the tracer compounds must be included in a Molecular Marker CMB (MM-CMB) model or the MMCMB model can be subject to biases. To this end, the application of the MM-CMB models to locations where reasonably accurate emissions inventory of organic aerosols are not available, should be performed with extreme caution. Of great concern is the potential presence of industrial point sources that emit carbonaceous aerosols and have not been well characterized or inventoried. The current study demonstrates that emissions from industrial point sources in the St. Louis, Missouri area can greatly bias molecular marker CMB models if their emissions are not correctly addressed. At a sampling site in the greater St. Louis Area, carbonaceous aerosols from industrial point sources were found to be important source of carbonaceous aerosols during specific time periods in addition to common urban sources (i.e. mobile sources, wood burning, and road dust). Since source profiles for these industrial sources have not been properly characterized, method to identify time periods when point sources are impacting a sampling site, needs to avoid obtaining biases source apportionment results. The use of real time air pollution measurements, along with molecular marker measurements, as a screening tool to identify when point sources are impacting a receptor site is presented.

트위터는 2006년 10월에 출시된 이래로 지속적으로 성장하고 있다. 특히 방문자 수 등의 수치적인 성장과 함께 마이크로 블로깅(micro blogging)이라는 새로운 소셜 네트워크의 양식을 확산시키고 있다. 국내에서도 me2day 등 '토종' 서비스가 등장했을 뿐 아니라, 향상된 모바일 디바이스의 인터넷 접근성이 마이크로 블로그의 확산을 자극 할 것으로 예측된다. 이런 맥락에서 본 연구는 마이크로 블로그라는 새로운 매체에 대한 예비 연구를 시도한다. 이를 위해, 국내 상황에 초점을 맞추어 국내 트위터 사용자 로그를 수집, 분석했다. 특히, 트위터라는 '외산' 서비스의 언어적, 문화적 장벽에도 불구하고 이를 극단적으로 활발하게 이용하는 "익스트림 헤비 유저"에 주목하여, 이들은 도대체 누구이며 왜, 어떤 방식으로 마이크로 블로그를 이용하는지 검토했다. 먼저, 무작위 추출 방식으로 일정 수준의 표본을 수집하여 팔로우와 메시지 작성 활동의 전반적인 양상을 검토하였다. 여기서 로렌츠 커브를 적용하여 활동의 쏠림 현상을 확인하였고, 이 곡선을 토대로 국내 트위터 강참여자 집단인 익스트림 헤비 유저 그룹을 도출하였다. 본 연구에서 확보한 표본 가운데에는 총 6명의 익스트림 헤비 유저가 있었고, 이들의 2010년 1월 중 일주일치의 실제 트위터 로그를 추가로 수집하여 분석하였다. 결과적으로 이들은 모바일과 데스크탑에서 다수의 클라이언트를 이용하여 다양한 방식으로 트위터에 접근하고 있었으며, 인터넷 이용 시간과 유사한 패턴으로 이용하되, 생활 속에서 "촘촘한(micro)" 시간 간격으로 꾸준히 많은 양의 메시지를 작성하고 있었다. 중요한 정보, 특별한 이벤트나 감정을 다룰 뿐 아니라, 습관적으로 트위터를 이용하고 있었으며 무엇보다 이들은 마치 SMS나 인터넷 메신저처럼 일종의 '대화의 도구'로써 트위터를 이용하고 있었다. 수집기간 중 이들이 작성한 트윗의 68%가 대화형에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 나머지 중 24%는 리트윗으로, 가상적으로(virtually) 연결된 '사람' 및 '관계'가 발화의 지배적인 동인(trigger)으로 작용하고 있음을 확인하였다.

수문자료의 계절성은 수자원관리의 관점에서 매우 중요한 요소로서 계절성의 변동은 댐의 운영, 홍수조절, 관개용수 관리 등 다양한 분야와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 수문빈도해석을 위해 POT 자료와 같은 부분기간치계열을 사용함으로써 자료의 확충, 계절성 확보, 발생빈도모형의 구축 등이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 POT 자료의 장점을 효과적으로 빈도해석에 연계시키는 방법론으로서 POT 자료로부터 계절성을 추출하고 이를 빈도해석과 연계시켜 Bayesian 기법을 기반으로 하는 비정상성 빈도해석 모형을 구축하였다. 서울지점의 관측 자료로부터 98% Threshold를 적용하여 POT 자료를 추출하였으며, GEV 분포에 대한적합성을 검토하였다. 위치 및 규모매개변수의 계절적변동성을 Fourier 급수로 표현하고, Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo 모의를 통해 매개변수들의 사후분포를 추정하였으며, 사후분포와 Quantile 함수를 이용하여 재현기간에 따른 확률강수량을 추정하였다. 계절성을 고려한 비정상성빈도해석 결과 7~8월의 비정상성 확률강수량과 기존 정상성빈도해석의 결과가 유사한 값을 나타내고 있으며 동시에 계절성을 반영한 확률강수량의 거동을 효과적으로 모의가 가능하였다.

Demand for new nondestructive evaluations is growing to detect tensile crack growth behavior to predict long term performance of materials and structure in aggressive environments, especially when they are in non-visible area. Acoustic emission technique is well suited to these problems and has drawn a keen interests because of its dynamic detection ability, extreme sensitivity and location of growing defects. In this study, we investigated the strength of fire resistance steel for frame structure by tensile test after degradation treatment and analysed acoustic emission signals obtained from tensile test with time frequency analysis methods. In the T and TN specimens(under $600^{\circ}C$-10min ) consisting of ferrite and pearlite structure, most of acoustic emission events were produced near yield point, mainly due to the dislocation activities during the deformation. However, B specimen under $600^{\circ}C$-10min had a two peak which was attribute to the presence of martensite phase. The first peak is before yield point and the second after yield point. The sources of second acoustic emission peak were the debonding of martensite-martensite interface and the micro-cracking of brittle martensite phase. In $600^{\circ}C$-30min to $700^{\circ}C$-60min, many signals were observed before yield point and were decreased after yield point.
