The authors present a case in which an organized chronic subdural hematoma(CSDH) was incidentally found in a 9-year-old boy with no significant medical history after a pedestrian traffic accident. Preoperative magnetic resonance(MR) imaging showed calcification on the inner membrane and an irregular heterogeneous structure in the hematoma cavity. The findings from the preoperative brain computed tomogram(CT) and MR image were very useful for making the preoperative diagnosis and surgical decision. In choosing the proper surgical strategy for removing the organized CSDH, it was thought that burr hole trephination would present unnecessary difficulties. Thus, craniotomy was selected and the organized CSDH was successfully removed with no complications.

In this work, superharmonic and subharmonic resonance of rotating stiffened FGM truncated conical shells exposed to harmonic excitation in a thermal environment is investigated. Utilizing classical shell theory considering Coriolis acceleration and the centrifugal force, the governing equations are extracted. Non-linear model is formulated employing the von Kármán non-linear relations. In this study, to model the stiffener effects the smeared stiffened technique is utilized. The non-linear partial differential equations are discretized into non-linear ordinary differential equations by applying Galerkin's method. The method of multiple scales is utilized to examine the non-linear superharmonic and subharmonic resonances behavior of the conical shells. In this regard, the effects of the rotating speed of the shell on the frequency response plot are investigated. Also, the effects of different semi-vertex angles, force amplitude, volume-fraction index, and temperature variations on the frequency-response graph are examined for different rotating speeds of the stiffened FGM truncated conical shells.

Metabolomic studies using human urine have shown that human metabolism is altered by a variety of environmental, cultural, and physiological factors. Comprehensive information about normal human metabolite profiles is necessary for accurate clinical diagnosis of disease and for disease prevention and treatment. In this study, metabolite correlation analyses, using $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate statistics, were performed on human urine to compare metabolic differences based on gender and/or obesity in healthy human subjects. First, we applied partial least squares discriminant analysis to the NMR spectral data set to verify the data's ability to discriminate by gender and obesity. Then, the differences in metabolite-metabolite correlation between male and female, and between normal and high body mass index (obese) subjects were investigated through pairwise correlations. Creatine and several metabolites, including isoleucine, trans-aconitate, and trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), exhibited different quantitative relationships depending on gender. Dimethylamine had a different correlation with glycine and TMAO, based on gender. The correlation of TMAO with amino acids was considerably lower in obese, compared to normal, subjects. We expect that the results will shed light on the metabolic pathways of healthy humans and will assist in the accurate diagnosis of human disease.

Background and Purpose: The association between the low emotional regulation and the brain structural change of major depressive disorder (MDD) has been proposed, but the voxel-based morphometry (VBM) studies on female MDD are rare. The purpose of the present study was to show the regional volume changes of gray matter (GM) in female patients with MDD by optimized VBM. Methods: To control subjects homogeneity, twenty female MDD patients and age, sex matched 21 normal controls were included for the VBM analysis. To identify the change of regional gray matter volume (GMV), the optimized VBM was performed with T1 MRIs. The amounts of gray/white matter and intracranial cavity volumes (ICV) were measured. The analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and partial correlation analyses covariate with age and ICV were applied for VBM. Results: The age and ICV distributions were similar between the two groups. In the ANCOVA, the total GMV of MDD was smaller than that of normal controls. In the VBM, regional GMV was relatively decreased in the limbic system (amygdalae, ambient gyri, hippocampi heads, subiculum, posterior parahippocampal gyri, pulvinar nuclei, dorsal posterior cingulate gyri, and left pregenual cingulate gyrus). The lingual gyri, short insular gyri, right fusiform gyrus, and right inferior frontal gyrus were also showed decreased regional GMV. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the female MDD is mainly associated with the structural deficits of the limbic system and limbic system related cortices, which were known to the center of emotions.

This paper presents the study on the stability of nonlinear oscillations of a thin cantilever beam subject to harmonic base excitation in vertical direction. Two partial differential governing equations under combined parametric and external excitations were derived and converted into two-degree-of-freedom ordinary differential Mathieu equations by using the Galerkin method. We used the method of multiple scales in order to analyze one-to-one combination resonance. From these, we could obtain the eigenvalue problem and analyze the stability of the system. From the thin cantilever experiment using foamax, we could observe the nonlinear modes of bending, twisting, sway, and snap-through buckling. In addition to qualitative information, the experiment using aluminum gave also the quantitative information for the stability of combination resonance of a thin cantilever beam under parametric excitation.

Communication facilities play an essential role in disaster situations. Therefore, communication facilities need to have structural and functional safety during and after earthquakes. Recently, technology for partial seismic isolation has been increasing to protect data facilities and communication equipment installed in buildings from earthquakes. However, excessive displacement may occur in the seismic isolator during an earthquake due to the resonance between the building and the seismic isolator having long-period characteristics, which may cause overturning and separation of the installed equipment. In this study, analytical and experimental studies were conducted to evaluate the safety of seismic isolators installed in high-rise buildings. It was confirmed that damages might occur in buildings' seismic isolator, with resonance characteristics of less than 1 Hz.

최근에 해상도의 손실없이 신호대잡음비를 개선시킬 수 있는 적응 템플릿 필터링이 제안되었다. 적응 템플릿 필터링은 다중 템플릿들 중에서 현재 복셀의 주변 구조와 가장 잘 매칭이 되는 템플릿을 선택하여 적응필터 링을 적용하는 방법이다. 적응 템플릿 필터링을 자기공명영상에 적용할때 기존의 필터링 방법들에 비하여 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있으나, $T_1$ 영상과 같이 비교적 작은 동적 범위를 가진 영상에서는 에지에서 계단모양의 artifact가 발견되곤 한다. 이것은 자기 공명영상에서 복셀의 부분적인 볼륨 효과에 기인하는 것으로 여러 조직의 성분을 포함하고 있는 경계면의 복셀들에 적응 템플릿 필터링이 적용될 경우 다중성분을 가진 복셀들의 그레이레벨이 인접한 단일성분의 그레이레벨 값에 가까워져 에지가 강조되기 때문이다 본 논문에서는 다중 성분을 갖는 복셀들을 선별하여 이들에 대해서는 가장 큰 크기의 템플릿을 할당함으로써 artifact를 제거하는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안한 방법을 $T_1$ 자기공명영상과 팬텀 영상에 적용한 결과 에지 artifact가 사라지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최대 신호대잡음비 면에서도 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 연구는 성덕대왕신종의 공명효과를 극대화시키기 위하여 계절에 따른 기온의 차이를 보정할 수 있는 가변형 명동의 설계 모델을 제시한다. 성덕대왕신종의 종소리에서는 64 Hz의 1차 고유진동수와 168 Hz의 2차 고유진동수가 가장 중요한 성분이다. 두 주파수 성분을 대상으로 종체 공동, 간극, 명동으로 구성된 내부 음향공동계의 공명조건을 구한다. 이를 위하여 SYSNOISE를 이용한 경계요소해석을 통하여 내부공동의 음향 주파수응답 특성을 구한다. 외적요소로, 계절에 따른 기온 차이는 공명 조건에 크게 영향을 미친다. 그 결과 공명효과를 극대화시키는 명동의 길이는 계절에 따라 달라져야 한다. 이를 고려하여 본 연구에서는 기온 변화에 맞추어 명동의 길이를 종의 설치 현장에서 쉽게 조절할 수 있는 가변형 명동의 설계 모델을 제시한다.

본 연구에서는 경부고속철도상의 대표적인 교량인 2경간 연속보 형태의 고속철도 교량에 대하여 동적거동을 해석하고 공진발생의 감소방안들을 제시하였다. 하중은 한국형 고속철도하중인 총길이 380.15 m의 TGV-K 열차(2P+18T)가 일정한 속도로 이동하는 것으로 하였다. 동적거동을 모사하는 지배방정식은 질량과 강성이 분포된 연속계에서 만들어진 편미분방정식을 이용하여 구하였으며 Duhamel 적분을 이용한 모달계수의 처리를 수반하는 모드중첩법을 이용하여 동적해석을 수행하였다. 열차의 주행속도에 관계없이 동적거동을 급격히 감소시킬 수 있는 지간장이 존재하였으며 지금까지 연구된 단순보 형태의 교량에서 분석된 결과와는 달랐다. 열차의 주행속도에 의존하여 동적응답이 급격히 증가되어 공진현상을 일으키는 경우에도 공진을 감소시킬 수 있는 여러 방안들을 제시하였다.
