이 논문에서는 경주시 양남면에 분포하는 해발고도 약 45 m의 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층의 형성시기를 추정하기 위하여, 퇴적층을 구성하고 있는 석영에 대한 단일입자 OSL(Single Grain Optically Stimulated Luminescence) 연대측정을 실시하였다. 실험에 사용된 총 1200개의 석영입자 중, 93개의 입자가 연대측정에 적합한 OSL 신호특성을 보였으며, 이들의 등가선량은 50-610 Gy까지 넓은 분포를 보인다. 이 자료를 중심연대모델(Central Age Model)과 최소연대모델(Minimum Age Model)을 이용하여 분석하면, 각각 $83{\pm}4ka$와 $60^{+3}{_{-7}}ka$의 연대가 도출되지만, 이들 연대는 MIS 5a시기로 보고된 기존의 제2해안단구의 OSL 연대와 층서적으로 불일치한다. 단일입자 OSL 분석결과들을 혼합연대모델(Finite Mixture Model)에 적용하면, 분석된 입자들 중 $6{\pm}4%$의 석영입자가 MIS 7의 퇴적시기 $194{\pm}24ka$)를 지시함을 알 수 있다. 결론적으로, 수렴단층 노두 해안단구 퇴적층이 MIS 7 시기에 형성되었을 가능성을 배제할 수 없으며, 이 퇴적층은 일반적으로 적용되는 다입자 OSL(multiple grain OSL) 연대측정법을 적용하기에 적합하지 않은 시료로 판단된다.

구획실 내 프로판 가스화재에 대해 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용한 수치계산을 수행하고 실험과의 비교를 통해 적용된 연소모델 예측성능을 평가하였다. 검토된 연소모델은 FDS v5.5.3의 혼합분율 연소모델과 FDS v6.6.3의 Eddy Dissipation Concept (EDC) 모델이며, EDC 모델에서 화학반응기구는 1-step Mixing Controlled, 2-step Mixing Controlled, 3-step Mixing Controlled 및 Mixing Controlled 반응과 유한화학반응이 혼합된 3-step Mixed 반응을 적용하였다. 구획실 내부의 온도에 대해서는 각 연소모델들 간의 예측성능 차이는 그다지 크지 않음을 확인하였다. 연소모델 차이에 의한 $O_2$와 $CO_2$ 농도에 대한 예측성능 차이보다는 CO에 대한 예측결과 차이가 크게 나타났다. CO 농도에 대해서는 EDC 3-step Mixing Controlled 모델이 가장 높게 예측하며 혼합분율 연소모델은 실험보다는 낮게 예측하였다. EDC 3-step Mixed 모델이 가장 예측성능이 좋았지만 EDC 2-step Mixing Controlled 모델도 충분히 합리적인 수준으로 예측하고 있음을 확인하였다. EDC 1-step Mixing Controlled 모델에 기존에 제안된 CO 수율을 적용할 경우 CO 농도에 대해서 너무 과소 예측하며 CO 예측 정확도를 높이기 위해 수율을 높이면 $CO_2$ 농도에 대한 합리적인 예측이 어려워지는 문제점이 있었다.

A high resolution scheme for solving gas-liquid two-phase flows with cavitation is described. This scheme uses the curvilinear coordinate grid and solves the density based momentum equations for mixture of gas-liquid medium with a preconditioning method to treat both compressible and incompressible flow characteristics. The present preconditioned method is based on the Runge-Kutta explicit finite-difference scheme, and is improved by using the diagonalization, the flux difference splitting and the MUSCL-TVD schemes to save computational effort and to increase stability and resolvability, especially at gas-liquid contact surfaces. A homogeneous equilibrium cavitation model is used to treat the gas-liquid two-phase medium in cavitating flow as a locally homogeneous pseudo-single-phase medium. Therefore, it is easy to solve cavitating flow, including wave propagation, large density changes and incompressible flow characteristic at low Mach number. Some numerical results obtained by the present scheme are shown.

A screening study was performed in order to resolve the flow, combustion and emission characteristics of the gas furmace with co-axial diffusion flane burner. A control-valume based finite-difference method with the power-law scheme was employed for discretization. Numerical procedure for the differential equation was used by SIMPLEST to enclosute rapid converge. A k-.varepsilon. model was incorporated for the closure of turbulence. The mass fraction and mixture fraction were calculated by cinserved scalar method. An equilibrium analysis was employed to determine the concentration of radicals in the product stream and conserbation equations were them solved for N amd NO by Zelovich reaction scheme. The method was exercised in a simple one-dimensional case first, to determine the effects of air ratio, temperature and residence time on NO formation and applied to a furnace with co-axial diffusion flame burner.

By utilizing a semi-empirical soot model, the applicability of the laminar flamelet concept for simulating the formation and oxidation of soot in the laminar diffusion flame has been studied. The source terms for two transport equations of the soot formation and oxidation are calculated in the mixture fraction/scalar dissipation rate space for laminar flamelets and stored in a library. In this study, emphasis is given to the interaction associated with radiation and soot formation. The radiative heat loss is obtained by solving the radiative transfer equation using the unstructured grid finite volume method with the WSGGM. The calculated temperatures and soot volume fractions agree relatively well with the experimental data and the previous numerical results of Kaplan et al. using the detailed chemistry.

The cavitating flow simulation is of practical importance for many engineering systems, such as pump, turbine, nozzle, Infector, etc. In the present work, a solver for two-phase flows has been developed and applied to simulate the cavitating flows past hydrofoils. The governing equation is the two-phase Navier-Stokes equation, comprised of the continuity equation of liquid and vapor phase. The momentum and energy equation is in the mixture phase. The solver employs an implicit, dual time, preconditioned algorithm using finite difference scheme in curvilinear coordinates. An experimental data and other numerical data were compared with the present results to validate the present solver. It is concluded that the present numerical code has successfully accounted for two-phase Navier-Stokes model of cavitation flow.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare statistical methods to control response bias in nursing activity surveys. Methods: Data were collected at a medical unit of a general hospital. The number of nursing activities and consumed activity time were measured using self-report questionnaires. Descriptive statistics were used to identify general characteristics of the units. Average, Z-standardization, gamma regression, finite mixture model, and stochastic frontier model were adopted to estimate true activity time controlling for response bias. Results: The nursing activity time data were highly skewed and had non-normal distributions. Among the 4 different methods, only gamma regression and stochastic frontier model controlled response bias effectively and the estimated total nursing activity time did not exceeded total work time. However, in gamma regression, estimated total nursing activity time was too small to use in real clinical settings. Thus stochastic frontier model was the most appropriate method to control response bias when compared with the other methods. Conclusion: According to these results, we recommend the use of a stochastic frontier model to estimate true nursing activity time when using self-report surveys.

In medical or public health research, it is common to encounter clustered or longitudinal count data that exhibit excess zeros. For example, health care utilization data often have a multi-modal distribution with excess zeroes as well as a multilevel structure where patients are nested within physicians and hospitals. To analyze this type of data, zero-inflated count models with mixed effects have been developed where a count response variable is assumed to be distributed as a mixture of a Poisson or negative binomial and a distribution with a point mass of zeros that include random effects. However, no study has considered a situation where data are also censored due to the finite nature of the observation period or follow-up. In this paper, we present a weighted version of zero-inflated Poisson model with random effects accounting for variable individual follow-up times. We suggested two different types of weight function. The performance of the proposed model is evaluated and compared to a standard zero-inflated mixed model through simulation studies. This approach is then applied to Medicaid data analysis.

The estimated probabilistic model of wind data based on the conventional approach may have high discrepancy compared with the true distribution because of the uncertainty caused by the instrument error and limited monitoring data. A sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm-based finite mixture modeling method has been developed in the companion paper and is conducted to formulate the joint probability density function (PDF) of wind speed and direction using the wind monitoring data of the investigated bridge. The established bivariate model of wind speed and direction only represents the features of available wind monitoring data. To characterize the stochastic properties of the wind parameters with the subsequent wind monitoring data, in this study, Bayesian inference approach considering the uncertainty is proposed to update the wind parameters in the bivariate probabilistic model. The slice sampling algorithm of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is applied to establish the multi-dimensional and complex posterior distribution which is analytically intractable. The numerical simulation examples for univariate and bivariate models are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. In addition, the proposed Bayesian inference approach is used to update and optimize the parameters in the bivariate model using the wind monitoring data from the investigated bridge. The results indicate that the proposed Bayesian inference approach is feasible and can be employed to predict the bivariate distribution of wind speed and direction with limited monitoring data.

An aim of the study is to develop an efficient numerical simulation technique that can handle the two-scale analysis of fluid permeation filters fabricated by the partial sintering technique of small spherical ceramics. A solid-fluid mixture homogenization method is introduced to predict the mechanical characters such as rigidity and permeability of the porous ceramic filters from the micro-scale geometry and configuration of partially-sintered particles. An extended finite element (X-FE) discretization technique based on the enriched interpolations of respective characteristic functions at fluid-solid interfaces is proposed for the non-interface-fitted mesh solution of the micro-scale analysis that needs non-slip condition at the interface between solid and fluid phases of the unit cell. The homogenization and localization performances of the proposed method are shown in a typical two-dimensional benchmark problem whose model has a hole in center. Three-dimensional applications to the body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell models are also shown in the paper. The 3D application is prepared toward the computer-aided optimal design of ceramic filters. The accuracy and stability of the X-FEM based method are comparable to those of the standard interface-fitted FEM, and are superior to those of the voxel type FEM that is often used in such complex micro geometry cases.
