Purpose: This study was done to examine the threshold value of estimated height loss at which the risk of osteoporosis increases and to verify its discriminative ability in the detection of osteoporosis. Methods: It was conducted based on epidemiological descriptive methods on 732 Korean women at a public healthcare center in Seoul between July and November 2010. ANOVA, Pearson correlation, logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve were used for data analysis. Results: There was an age-related correlation between bone mineral density (lumbar spine: F=37.88, p<.001; femur: F=54.27, p<.001) and estimated height loss (F=27.68, p<.001). Estimated height loss increased significantly with decreasing bone mineral density (lumbar spine: r=-.23, p<.001; femur: r=-.34, p<.001). The odds ratio for the point at which the estimated height loss affects the occurrence of osteoporosis was found to increase at a cut-off value of 2 cm and the area under ROC curve was .71 and .82 in lumbar spine and femur, respectively. Conclusion: The optimal cut-off value of the estimated height loss for detection of osteoporosis was 2 cm. Height loss is therefore a useful indicator for the self-assessment and prognosis of osteoporosis.

Laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen were experimentally investigated to determine heat-loss-related self-excitation regimes in the flame stability map and elucidate the individual flame characteristics. There exists a critical lift-off height over which flame-stabilizing effect becomes minor, thereby causing a normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.01 Hz). Air-coflowing can suppress the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation through increase of a Peclet number; meanwhile it can enhance the normal heat-lossinduced self-excitation through reducing fuel concentration gradient and thereby decreasing the reaction rate of trailing diffusion flame. Below the critical lift-off height. the effect of flame stabilization is superior, leading to a coflow-modulated heat-loss-induced self-excitation with O(0.001 Hz). Over the critical lift-off height, the effect of reducing fuel concentration gradient is pronounced, so that the normal heat-loss-induced self-excitation is restored. A newly found prompt self-excitation, observed prior to a heat-loss-induced flame blowout, is discussed. Heat-loss-related self-excitations, obtained laminar lifted propane coflow-jet flames diluted with nitrogen, were characterized by the functional dependency of Strouhal number on related parameters. The critical lift-off height was also reasonably characterized by Peclet number and fuel mole fraction.

본 논문에서는 half-height W/C(Waveguide)를 이용하여 Ka-band 대역의 위성통신용 전력합성기를 설계하였다. 낮은 삽입 손실과 포트간 아이솔레션 특성이 좋은 방향성 겨랗ㅂ기를 위성 통신용 전력합성기로서 채택하였다. half-height W/C를 이용하여 설계된 전력합성기는 full-height W/G를 사용하여 설계된 전력삽성기에 비하여 작은 부피와 무게를 가지기 때문에 크기와 무게면에서 많은 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDTD(Finite-Difference Time-Domain)를 이용하여 half-height W/G 전력 합성기를 분석하고 설계 하였으며 full-height W/G로 구성된 전력 증폭기와 성능을 비교하였다. 또한 최적의 차수로 설계된 half-height 전력합성기를 제작하여 측정하였다. 설계된 half-height 전력합성기는 Ka-band 위성 통신용 대역(20.255~21.255 GHz)에서 삽입손실 0.3dB 이하, 반사손실 20 dB 이상, 포트간 분리도 20 dB 이상, 출력 포트간 위상차가 5$^{\circ}$ 이내의 특성을 만족하도록 설계되었다.

The effects of squealer rim height on three-dimensional flows and aerodynamic losses downstream of a high-turning turbine rotor blade have been investigated for a typical tip gap-to-chord ratio of h/c=2.0%. The squealer rim height-to-chord ratio is changed to be $h_{st}/c$=0.00(plane tip), 1.37, 2.75, 5.51, and 8.26%. Results show that as $h_{st}/c$ increases, the tip leakage vortex tends to be weakened and the interaction between the tip leakage vortex and the passage vortex becomes less severe. The squealer rim height plays an important role in the reduction of aerodynamic loss when $h_{st}/c{\leq}2.75%$. In the case of $h_{st}/c{\geq}5.51%$, higher squealer rim cannot provide an effective reduction in aerodynamic loss. The aerodynamic loss reduction by increasing $h_{st}/c$ is limited only to the near-tip region within a quarter of the span from the casing wall.

The effect of tip clearance height on the three-dimensional flow and aerodynamic loss in the wake region of a high-turning turbine rotor cascade has been investigated with a miniature cone-type five-hole probe. Distributions of velocity magnitude, secondary velocity vectors, and total-pressure loss coefficient are presented for three tip gap-to-span ratios of h/s = 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 percent. The result shows that with the increment of h/s, tip leakage vortex tends to be intensified and aerodynamic loss due to the leakage vortex is increased as well. In the case of h/s = 1.0 percent, aerodynamic loss in the tip-leakage flow region is found dominant in comparison with that in the passage vortex region. With increasing h/s, mass-averaged secondary loss coefficient has a greater portion in the mass-averaged total-pressure loss coefficient.

A geometrically asymmetric trapezoidal fin with variable fin base thickness and height is optimized based on the fixed fin base height using a one-dimensional analytic method. The temperature profile along the normalized X position in the fin is presented. For the fixed fin base height, the optimum heat loss, fin length and efficiency as a function of inside fluid convection characteristic number, fin base thickness and height, fin shape factor, convection characteristic numbers ratio and ambient convection characteristic number are represented. One of the results shows that the effect of fin base height and ambient convection characteristic number on the optimum values is remarkable.

화점높이 변화에 따른 회오리 화염의 질량감소속도와 공기유입속도를 알아보기 위하여 회오리 화염 연구에서 많이 사용되고 있는 인화성 액체인 메탄올과 노말 헵탄을 사용하였다. 용기의 재질은 스테인레스로 100mm ${\times}$ 100mm ${\times}$ 50mm 크기의 사각형으로 제작하여 연소실험에 사용하였다. 외부로부터 화염으로 의 공기유입속도는 화점의 높이를 0cm에서 30cm로 변화시켰을 때, 0cm의 높이에서 가장 빠른 공기유입속도를 나타냈으며, 동일한 화점의 높이에서는 다점풍속기의 높이가 30cm인 경우에 가장 빠른 평균 공기유입속도와 최대 공기유입속도를 나타내었다. 또한 메탄올과 노말 헵탄의 회오리 화염의 결과로부터 질량감소속도는 노말 헵탄이 메탄올에 비해 1.33~1.58배, 외부로부터 화염으로의 공기유입속도는 노말 헵탄이 메탄올에 비해 4.38~5.44배 각각 빠름을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 회오리 화염에서 질량감소속도와 외부에서 화염으로의 공기유입속도는 화점의 높이가 증가할수록 감소하며, 같은 실험조건에서 시료의 고위/저위 발열량이 높을수록 증가한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

연구 계획: 증례 보고 목적: 탈출된 요추 추간판이 자연 소실된 이후 추간판 간격이 감소된 증례를 보고하고자 한다. 선행 문헌의 요약: 보존적 치료를 통한 탈출된 요추 추간판의 자연 소실이 보고되었다. 대상 및 방법: 요추 추간판 탈출증으로 진단된 3명의 환자를 외래 추시를 통해 보존적 치료를 시행하였다. 내원 당시에 관찰되었던 방사통은 호전 되었으나, 만성적인 요통을 호소하였다. 원인 파악을 위해 MRI 촬영을 다시 시행하였다. 결과: 보존적 치료로 탈출된 요추 추간판이 자연 소실 되었지만, 추간판 간격의 현저한 감소가 관찰되었다. 결론: 요추 추간판 탈출증이 추간판 간격 감소의 위험요인 중 하나일 수 있다. 요추 추간판 탈출증을 진단 받은 환자의 경우 탈출된 요추 추간판이 자연 소실되더라도 만성 요통이 발생 할 수 있음을 인지하는 것이 중요하다.

In recent years the recording density of hard disks has increased significantly largely due to the decreasing flying height. As a result of decreased flying height, the reliability issue become more critical. In this work the relationship between hard disk surface damage and data loss was investigated by using an actual hard disk drive. The purpose of this research was to identify the key factor which leads to data loss. It was shown that data loss is directly related to the physical damage of the Co-magnetic layer and there was no data loss when only carbon protective coating was damaged by the diamond tip.
