The unbonded prestressed concrete(PSC) members exhibit very different structural behavior from that of bonded PSC members because of having different tendon stress increment. Recently, AASHTO changed the provision of ultimate tendon stress with unbonded tendons, because some researches tried to improve the provision of ultimate tendon stress with unbonded tendons. The purpose of the present study is to compare various Codes with the ultimate failure stresses of prestressing(PS) steels for the unbonded PSC members. To this end, Some national Codes have been collected and analyzed. A series of major influencing variables have been included in the analysis. It was found that the span-depth ratio, neutral axis depth-effective depth ratio, concrete compressive strength, effective prestress, and prestressing steel ratio have great influence on the ultimate failure stress of PS steel in unbonded PSC members. The Comparison indicates that existing formulas including ACI and domestic Code's equations shows some unwarranties. The present study allows more realistic analysis and design of prestressed concrete structures with internal unbonded tendons.

Radiation therapy is highly effective for the management of pediatric malignant central nervous system (CNS) tumors including embryonal tumors. With the increment of long-term survivors from malignant CNS tumors, the radiation-related toxicities have become a major concern and we need to improve the treatment strategies to reduce the late complications without compromising the treatment outcomes. One of such strategies is to reduce the radiation dose to craniospinal axis or radiation volume and to avoid or defer radiation therapy until after the age of three. Another strategy is using particle beam therapy such as proton beams instead of photon beams. Proton beams have distinct physiologic advantages over photon beams and greater precision in radiation delivery to the tumor while preserving the surrounding healthy tissues. In this review, I provide the treatment principles of pediatric CNS embryonal tumors and the strategic improvements of radiation therapy to reduce treatment-related late toxicities, and finally introduce the increasing availability of proton beam therapy for pediatric CNS embryonal tumors compared with photon beam therapy.

Friction in bearing exerts an important effect upon power dissipation and heat generation of spindle system. This paper presents frictional moments derived from rotational axis coordinate system of spindle and frictional characteristics to spindle speed A frictional moment of spindle bearings is derived by work-energy method. Differential sliding moments in outer raceway has a major effect upon frictional resistance; spin sliding moments in inner raceway has a secondary effect. As spindle speed increases, also the frictional moments increase. In high-speed region, ceramic ball bearing 몬 smaller frictional moment than steel ball bearing.

With the objective of studying the response of brain tissue in a transient rotational acceleration of the head, as occurs in car crash, the problem of a cylindrical case containing a prototype brain material of silicone gel and subjected to a rotational acceleration around the axis of the cylinder is analysed. The prototype material is considered to be homogeneous and isotropic, and is modeled alternatively as a linear elastic or a linear viscoelastic solid. The computational model for the present problem consists of a 3-dimensional isoparametric finite element model, wherein large deformations and large strains are treated through the updated Lagrangian approach. A comparison of the results of the present 3-dimensional computations, with the attendant assumptions on material data, is made with the results of independent experimental study. The deformation profiles and the major characteristics of response of the brain material are in good agreement with the test results. Moreover, the study suggests the possibility that the use of more accurate material data may yield very useful results even appropriate for accurate quantification of deformations.

This report presents the development procedure and the results of a prototype star sensor which can be used as one of the attitude sensors of the KITSAT-3. The star sensor is a major attitude sensor that can determine the 3-axis attitude information, by comparing between star corrdinates in the star catalog and the measured corrdinates. The 2 dimensional CCD camera is used for measuring the star corrdinates and the DSP(Digital Signal Processor) technology is applied to the image and signal processing. Using the prototype star sensor with thermoelectri cooling technique, we have succesfully obtained the star images around 4th magnitude at Sobaeksan Astronomy Observatory minimizing night sky effect.

Analytical formulae are presented to approximate the evolution of the semi major axis, the maneuver time, and the final mass fraction for low thrust orbital transfers with circular initial orbit, circular target orbit, and constant thrust directed either always along or always opposite the velocity vector. For comparison, the associated results for high-thrust transfers, i.e. the two-impulse Hohmann transfer, are summarized. All results are implemented in a computer code designed to analyze planar planetary and interplanetary space missions. This implementation yields fast and reasonably accurate approximations to trajectory performance boundaries. Consequently, the approach can provide trajectory analysis for each spacecraft configuration during the conceptual space mission design phase. As an example, a mission from Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) to Jupiter's moon Europa is analyzed.

The most celebrated problem in artificial satellite theory is undoubtedly the critical inclination problem. The KITSAT-1 satellite launched by Arian 42P from Guiana in August 11, 1992 has orbital inclination close to the critical value cos-1(1/rs). In that case, there is a singularity in some perturbation terms and therefore perigee will be fixed because do/dt is equals to zero. But actually the long periodic behaviour in argument of perigee, u is affected by luni-solar gravity andrelativistic effect, etc. Luni-solar gravity induces periodic perturbations in allorbital elements except the semi-major axis, and secular variations in 0, u and M.We have obtained nodal rate and inclination variations in case of the KITSAT-1.In this paper, we will also show the geopotential perturbations in 0, M of the Satellite in CIUding J2, J3, J4, J22 terms.

As the society becomes more industrialized and modernized, we have more chances to experience a serious traumatic event. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has 3 major categories of symptoms such as memory disturbance, hyperarousal and avoidance or numbness. I reviewed the psychobiological evidences in 3 main categories of symptoms and the biological treatment after a brief review of the epidemiology, psychosocial etiology and diagnosis of PTSD. The memory disturbance of PTSD might be developed by the potentiation of the memory pathway mediated by norepinephrine. PTSD induces HPA axis abnormality, it might also develop hippocampal dysfunction, which might contribute to the memory disturbance. The kindling effect develops desensitization, which might develop reexperiencing of the traumatic events and hyperarousal state. Chronic aroused state of locus ceruleus with resultant chronic maladaptive state of norepinephrine system, might develop hyperarousal state. Social avoidance and physical numbing state in PTSD might be caused by serotnin or opiate system. Stress induced analgesia might be developed by opiate reliesed against the acute stress. The biologic research results would help the selective treatment of PTSD.

Corticotropin-releasing actor receptors (CRFRs) activates the hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis, one of the 2 parts of the fight or flight response to stress. Increased CRH production has is associated with Alzheimer's disease and major depression and hypoglycemia. In this study, we report the important structural and chemical parameters for CRFR inhibitors using the derivatives of 8-substituted-2-aryl-5-alkylaminoquinolines. A 3D QSAR study, Comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) was performed. The best predictions were obtained for the best CoMFA model with a $q^2$ of 0.607 with 6 components and $r^2$ of 0.991. The statistical parameters from the generated CoMFA models indicated that the data are well fitted and have high predictive ability. The contour map resulted from the CoMFA models might be helpful in the future designing of novel and more potent CRFR derivatives.

In this paper, a control algorithm for a servo manipulator is focused on. A servo manipulator system has been developed for remotely handling radioactive materials in a hot cell. It is driven by servo motors. The torque from a servo motor is transferred through a reducer to the corresponding axis. The PID control algorithm is a simple and effective algorithm for such application. However, since friction degrades the algorithm's performance, friction has to be considered and compensated. The major aberrations are the positional tracking errors and the limit cycle. The authors have considered a switching term to a conventional PID algorithm to reduce the friction's effect. It has been tested by a hardware test.
