An IE-FFT algorithm is implemented and applied to the electromagnetic (EM) solution of perfect electric conducting (PEC) scattering problems. The solution of the method of moments (MoM), based on the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE), is obtained for PEC objects with closed surfaces. The IE-FFT algorithm uses a uniform Cartesian grid to apply a global fast Fourier transform (FFT), which leads to significantly reduce memory requirement and speed up CPU with an iterative solver. The IE-FFT algorithm utilizes two discretizations, one for the unknown induced surface current on the planar triangular patches of 3D arbitrary geometries and the other on a uniform Cartesian grid for interpolating the free-space Green's function. The uniform interpolation of the Green's functions allows for a global FFT for far-field interaction terms, and the near-field interaction terms should be adequately corrected. A 3D block-Toeplitz structure for the Lagrangian interpolation of the Green's function is proposed. The MFIE formulation with the IE-FFT algorithm, without the help of a preconditioner, is converged in certain iterations with a generalized minimal residual (GMRES) method. The complexity of the IE-FFT is found to be approximately $O(N^{1.5})$and $O(N^{1.5}logN)$ for memory requirements and CPU time, respectively.

Background and Objectives: Intense exercise (IE) induced myocardial fibrosis (MF) showed contradictory findings in human studies, making the relationship between IE and the development of MF unclear. This study aims to demonstrate exercise induced MF is associated with cardiac damage, and inflammation is essential to the development of exercise induced MF. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were submitted to daily 60-minutes treadmill exercise sessions at vigorous or moderate intensity, with 8-, 12-, and 16-week durations; time-matched sedentary rats served as controls. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to measure serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentration. After completion of the exercise protocol rats were euthanized. Biventricular morphology, ultrastructure, and collagen deposition were then examined. Protein expression of interleukin $(IL)-1{\beta}$ and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-1 was evaluated in both ventricles. Results: After IE, right but not left ventricle (LV) MF occurred. Serum cTnI levels increased and right ventricular damage was observed at the ultrastructure level in rats that were subjected to long-term IE. Leukocyte infiltration into the right ventricle (RV) rather than LV was observed after long-term IE. Long-term IE also increased protein expression of proinflammation factors including $IL-1{\beta}$ and MCP-1 in the RV. Conclusions: Right ventricular damage induced by long-term IE is pathological and the following inflammatory response is essential to the development of exercise induced MF.

본 연구에서는 충격반향법(IE)을 활용하여 철근 부식 진전에 따른 콘크리트 손상 상태를 모니터링하였다. 길이 1500 mm, 폭 400 mm, 두께 200 mm를 갖는 세 개의 철근 콘크리트 시험체를 제작하였다. 각 시험체는 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트, 고로 슬래그 미분말, 플라이 애쉬를 혼합한 세 가지 콘크리트 배합을 활용하여 제작하여, 결합재 특성에 따른 손상특성을 관찰하였다. 콘크리트 내 철근 부식은 3% NaCl 용액에서 35일 주기의 습윤 및 건조 포화 과정을 거친 후 0.5 A 전류를 인가하여 가속화되었다. 전류인가 전 습윤-건조반복(철근부식 환경조성 또는 잠재기)단계에서 수집된 초기 IE 데이터는 건조상태가 IE 신호에 미치는 영향이 크기 않음을 보여주었다. 전류를 인가한 후에는 인가 시간 증가에 따라 IE 탁월주파수와 콘크리트 P파속도의 점진적인 감소 특성을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 실험결과는 IE 데이터 모니터링으로 철근 부식으로 인한 콘크리트의 점진적 손상의 주요 특성(내부 손상 개시 및 전파 속도 등)을 포착할 수 있음을 보여준다. 따라서, 철근 부식에 따른 콘크리트의 점진적 손상의 평가 및 예측에 IE 모니터링이 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Over the last four decades, industrial engineering (IE) research in Korea has continued to evolve and expand to respond to social needs. This paper aims to identify research topics in IE research and explore their dynamic changes over time. The topic modeling approach, which automatically discovers topics that pervade a large and unstructured collection of documents, is adopted to identify research topics in domestic IE research. 1,242 articles published from 2001 to 2015 in two IE journals issued by the Korean Institute of Industrial Engineers were collected and their English abstracts were analyzed. Applying the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model led us to uncover 50 topics of domestic IE research. The top 10 most popular topics are revealed, and topic trends are explored by examining the dynamic changes over time. The four topics, technology management, financial engineering, data mining (supervised learning), efficiency analysis, are selected as hot topics while several traditional topics related with manufacturing are revealed as cold topics. The findings are expected to provide fruitful implications for IE researchers.

In this paper a new discharge type ozonizer comprising the superpose operation of silent and surface discharge is presented. The ozonizer consists of two concentric glass tubes with three type of discharge electrodes : the external electrode(EE), the internal electrode(IE) and the central electrode(CE). By varying the structure of IE and materials of CE, we analyzed the characteristics of ozone related different parameters including $O_{3con}$, $O_{3g}$, and $O_{3Y}$. Using Cu made CE it was found the O3con is higher with Cu tape than that with Cu coil wound IE. At Q = 1[l/ min] the values of O3con were found as 3000[ppm] with Cu tape wound IE and 1898[ppm] with Cu coil wound IE. Then using SUS wire made CE with Cu tape wound IE at Q = 1[ι/ min] the maximum value of O3con was found as 5632[ppm]. It was observed that both $O_{3con}$ and $O_{3y}$ are higher with SUS made CE than that with Cu made CE. The maximum values of $O_{3Y}$ were found as 79[g/kWh] with Cu made CE and 170[g/kWh] with SUS wire made CE.

Ultra-pure water (UPW), a highly treated water free of colloidal material and of a conductivity less than 0.06 ${\mu}S$, is an essential component required by modern industry. One of the methods for UPW production is the electrodialysis-ion exchange (ED/IE) system, in which the electrodialysis (ED) process is used as a preliminary demineralization step. The IE step can be replaced with electrodeionization (EDI) to decrease the volume of post-regeneration lyes. In this paper, the electrodialysis process carried out to relatively low diluate conductivity was investigated and the costs of UPW production were calculated. The optimal value of desalination degree by ED in the ED/IE and ED/EDI systems was estimated. UPW unit costs for integrated ED/IE and ED/EDI systems were compared to simple ion exchange and other methods for UPW production (RO-IE, RO-EDI). The minimal UPW unit costs in ED/EDI integrated system were estimated as $0.37/$m^3$ for feed TDS 600 mg/L and $0.36/$m^3$ for feed TDS 400 mg/L at 64 $m^3/h$ capacity, which was lower than in the comparable ED/IE integrated system ($0.42-0.44/$m^3$). The presented results suggest that an ED/EDI integrated system may be economically viable.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of both neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES) and isometrical exercise(IE) to strengthen the quadriceps femoris muscle. The relationships between the strength changes and the relative force and duration of training contractions were also studied. Methods : The subjects were divided into three group. The control group(n=6) received no exercise and/or stimulation. The isometric exercise (IE) group(n=6) performed maximum isometric contractions, and the neuromuscular electrical stimulation(NMES)(n=6) engaged electrically stimulated isometric contractions, three days a week for four weeks. Results : Results showed that both IE group and NMES group were found to have an increase in strength significantly greater(p<0.05) than the control group at 4 week. But between IE group and NMES group were not found to have an difference in strength significantly. Conclusion : The relative increase in isometric strength, using IE and NMES, may be determined by the ability of the subjects to tolerate longer and more forceful contractions. Suggestions for further research and implications for the clinical of IE and NMES for strength-training are discussed.

본 논문에서는 IE의 기본개념과 원리를 소개하였으며, 또한 Design for Environment방법을 통한 IE의 응용에 관해 설명하였다. Fig. 5에서와 같이 IE는 오염사전예방(Pollution Prevention, PP)과 환경친화적 제품설계 (Design for Environment, DFE) 즉, 두 가지 활동의 합으로 간주할 수 있다. 오염사전예방은 주로 현재의 공정과 제품을 개선하므로서 환경오염의 최소화를 이루고자 하는것이며, 예를 들면 누출방지, 에너지절약, 포장개선 등이다. 두 번째 DFE는 오염사전예방의 효과가 1~2년 이내인데 비해 훨씬 장기적인 시간목표를 갖고 있으며 때때로 제품과 공정을 도입하기 전에 관여한다. DFE의 전형적인 활동은 modularity의 개발, 사용원료종류의 최소화(Minimization of materials diversity) 및 공정대체(Process substitution)등이다. IE의 성공적 수행은 PP와 DFE의 두 개념을 적절히 조합시킬 때만이 가능하다. IE가 10년또는 20년후의 소비자의 성향, 법적규제의 변화 및 환경변화 등의 예상을 포함시키므로서 IE의 목표를 달성할 수 있기 때문이다. 현재는 IE개발의 초기단계이며 따라서, 기업체는 주도권을 갖고서 정부 및 관련조직의 지원하에 DFE의 실행을 위해 노력해야한다. 결론적으로 환경적으로 제약적인 세계에서 산업의 관행과 구조는 변화가 있어야한다. 또한 산업체는 물질사용과 환경에 영향을 주는 활동을 규제할 수 있는 기능적인 조직이 산업내에서 활성화되도록 관심을 가져야 할 것이다. 우리나라도 날로 강화되는 환경규제에 능동적으로 대처하고 국내산업의 지속적인 발전을 도모하기 위해서는 환경문제를 고려한 새로운 산업전략의 수립이 필요하며, 이를 위해 산업 전분야에 새로운 IE개념의 도입과 실제적인 DFE의 응용이 이루어질 수 있는 효율적인 체제의 구축과 지원이 있어야 할 것으로 사료된다.
