This paper documents an experimental study of dynamic response of reinforced concrete beams following instantaneous removal of a bearing column. Four half-scale specimens representing two-span beam bridging across the removed column were tested. The test boundary conditions simulated rotational and longitudinal restraints imposed on a frame beam by the neighboring structural components. The gravity loads were simulated by attaching mass blocks on the beams at three locations. Dynamic loading effects due to sudden removal of a column were simulated by quickly releasing the supporting force at the middle of the specimens. The experimental study investigated the load-carrying capacity of beams restrained longitudinally at the boundaries and dynamic impact on forces. The tests confirmed the extra flexural strength provided by compressive arch action under dynamic loading. The tests also indicated that the dynamic amplification effects on forces were much lower than that assumed in the current design guideline for progressive collapse.

The permanent scatterer SAR interferometry (PSInSAR) technique has been developed more recently and has been applied to monitor slow but consistent ground subsidence. Since PSInSAR has the advantages in terms of baseline and temporal decorrelation, PSInSAR technique using X-band may also provide useful information about a ground deformation in detail. We developed our codes for a persistent scatterer analysis, and then apply to ERS-1/2 C-band data over Las Vegas in order to validate our new developed algorithm. Based on this test, PS technique using X-band observation such as TerraSAR-X or KOMSAT 5 will be developed.

Employing tilted forms in tall buildings is a relatively new architectural phenomenon, as are the cases with the Gate of Europe Towers in Madrid and the Veer Towers in Las Vegas. This paper studies structural system design options for tilted tall buildings and their performances. Tilted tall buildings are designed with various structural systems, such as braced tubes, diagrids and outrigger systems, and their structural performances are studied. Structural design of today's tall buildings built with higher strength materials is generally governed by lateral stiffness. Tilted towers are deformed laterally not only by lateral loads but also by dead and live loads due to their eccentricity. The impact of tilting tall buildings on the gravity and lateral load resisting systems is studied. Comparative evaluation of structural systems for tilted tall buildings is presented.

The characteristics of neighborhood correlation images for change detection were explored at different spatial resolution scales. Bi-temporal QuickBird datasets of Las Vegas, NV were used for the high spatial resolution image analysis, while bi-temporal Landsat $TM/ETM^{+}$ datasets of Suwon, South Korea were used for the mid spatial resolution analysis. The neighborhood correlation images consisting of three variables (correlation, slope, and intercept) were evaluated and compared between the two scales for change detection. The neighborhood correlation images created using the Landsat datasets resulted in somewhat different patterns from those using the QuickBird high spatial resolution imagery due to several reasons such as the impact of mixed pixels. Then, automated binary change detection was also performed using the single and multiple neighborhood correlation image variables for both spatial resolution image scales.

목적 : 방사선치료 시 자세 및 치료부위의 재현성을 유지하기 위해 Port film을 통한 정도관리가 이루어져 왔으며 Mega Voltage Imaging (MVI) System(mvis)이 출현한 이후로 많은 발전을 이루어 현재는 필름과 Electronic portal Image Device(EPID)를 통한 정도관리가 함께 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 현재 사용하고 있는 EPID 시스템의 소개와 amorphous silicon (aSi) type EPID가 Intersity Modulated Radiation Therapu(IMRT)에서 film dosimetry를 대체할 수 있는지에 대한 가능성을 분석하였다. 대상 및 방법 : Varian 21EX의 aSi type EPID와 Varian 6EX의 LC type EPID를 통해 FDD, Gantry 회전에 따른 재현성 분석과 EPID 출/입시 FDD에 따른 시간분석을 하였으며 Alderson Rando phantom을 이용하여 Couch & Gantry rotation에 따른 영상획득 가능범위를 분석하였다. aSi type EPID를 대상으로 Las Vegas phantom과 물팬텀으로 공간분해능과 대조도 분해능을 비교하였으며 Dynamic Multileaf collimator(DMLC)영상에 대해 저감도 측정용 필름과 EPID로 분석하여 IMRT의 정도관리 적용가능성을 시험하였다. 결과 : aSi type EPID와 LC type EPID 재현성은 출/입시 1mm 이내로 우수하게 나타났으나 Gantry 회전에 따른 재현성은 각각 ${\pm}3\;mm,\;{\pm}2\;mm$였으며 EPID의 출/입시 focus detector distance(FDD)에 따른 시간분석은 14초에서 17초로 측정되었다. Las Vegas phantom을 이용한 공간분해능과 대조도분해능 비교 시 표면과 물 팬텀 10, 20 cm 깊이에서 측정해 보았을 때 EPID가 선량율과 영상획득시간, 영상획득방법, frame수에 따라 달라짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, EPID로 영상획득 가능 범위를 분석해보면 film보다 손쉬운 측정이 가능한 것으로 나타났다. 저감도측정용 필름과 EPID를 통해 DMLC측정을 통한 IMRT 정도관리 결과 필름과 같은 값을 나타내었다. 결론 : EPID에 관한 여러 가지 평가를 통한 적절한 정보제공을 통해 EPID 사용, 관리 시 필요한 정보를 획득 할 수 있었으며 EPID를 통해 얻은 영상이 digital data라는 점에 착안해 적절한 정도관리가 어려운 IMRT의 분야에서 필름을 통한 주기적 점검의 대체수단으로 사용가능성이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 point-dose 측정시 사용하는 diode나 전리조(lonization chamber)를 통해 평가하기 어려운 IMRT의 sliding window영상에 대한 적절한 평가와 MLC에서 leaf사이의 누설선량과 소조사면에서의 DMLC 움직임에 대한 정확한 평가가 기대된다.

The U.S. Department of Energy conducts the Solar Decathlon competition as a student-based achievement that encourages sustainable design with energy efficiency and solar energy technologies. In the 2020 competition, the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) team designed, fabricated, and constructed a net-zero modular house that applies innovative and highly efficient building technologies. This paper focused on the lessons learned during the early phases of this ongoing modular project. The research methodology included obtaining feedback from key project participants using a well-structured questionnaire. The results showed that the major items/challenges in the project's planning phase included selecting the modular size, planning the construction system, planning the materials and procurement, estimating costs and duration, selecting a fabricator, collaboration and communication, safety, and planning module transportation. These findings will help modular practitioners and future Solar Decathlon competition participants better understand how and what factors they should consider most during the early phases through the lessons learned.

Robert Venturi's theories like 'Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture' and 'Symbolism of Architecture' had a major impact on architects in postmodern culture and we could have his contextual understandings in those theories. In his early books, "Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture" and "Learning from Las Vegas", Robert Venturi showed theories related to context several times. But with looking at existing books or papers, we could barely see well-organized studies about his contextual understandings. So this study shows contextual approaches and thoughts with those theories, 'Complex and contradictory architecture', 'Architectural order and conventional architecture', 'Discontinuity in internal and external architecture', and 'Symbolism of architecture' in his two books. In those four theories, Venturi's contextual understandings are as fellows. To begin with, he developed contextual theories in architecture, understanding a whole building embracing each architectural factor, with architectural thoughts of complexity and contradiction. Second, he stressed architectural order to link each contradictory factor and used conventional architecture, as for existing common and ordinary things, to make available communication. Conventional factors were applied to urban viewpoints. Given the fact that contemporaries shared those factors, we could see contextual understandings in his approach. On top of that, unlike modern architects, he understood that functions of the inside and the outside were two different things. Based on contextual thoughts, he tried applying 'facade' that is one side providing an interface between in and out of a building to surroundings. Last, he wanted to express any meaningful connection between present and past, using symbolism in architecture. Presented by symbolism of architecture, architectural functions, architectural uses, historical meaning, ordinary factors, or something were also based on sharing in contemporary people. As the methodology to show these contextual factors, Venturi used an approach of symbolism.

The originator of the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation method was Dr. Herman Kabat, a man who received the bachelor of science degree from New York University in 1932. In 1936 he moved to the University of Minnesota where he served as instructor in physiology and also studies medicine. He received his medical doctorate in 1942. When Dr. Karbat meet Sister Kenny suggested that certain change. She does not receptive his ideas. So that he decided to pursure the treatment of patients. Upon the establishment of the Karbat- kaiser Institute to be opened in 1946. Margaret Knott, the first physical therapist to be employed by him and to become his head physical therapist. In 1948 Vallejo center was opened. Dr. Kabat developed the PNF method combined motions to ascertain the effectiveness of maximal resistance and stretch in facilitating the response of a weak distal muscle. He identified mass movement patterns that were spiral and diagonal in character in 1965. Margaret Knott presented lecture at tile APTA Annual Conference in Las Vegas. The title was In the groove. On December 18, 1978 she passed away at her home in Vallejo. Marie-Louise Mangold is director of the Kaiser Foundation Rehabilitation Center now. She is the Vice President of International Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation Association. About 20 physical therapist working teaching and study at KFRC in Vallejo. PNF neuromuscular mechanism becomes integrated and efficient without awareness of individual muscle action, reflex and a multitude of other neurophysiological reactions. The principles of PNF are visual consideration, verbal consideration, and proprioceptive input consideration with tactile stimulation, joint receptors, appropriate facilitation, stretch reflex normal timing, irradiation, pattern of movement.
