This study investigates the effects of soft story, short columns, heavy overhangs, pounding, and construction and workmanship quality parameters on seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings through nonlinear static and dynamic procedures. The accounted parameters are selected for their common use in rapid screening of RC buildings. The 4- and 7-story buildings designed according to pre-modern codes are used to reflect majority of the existing building stock. The relative penalty scores are employed in this study to evaluate relative importance of certain irregularities in the existing rapid seismic assessment procedures. Comparison of relative scores for the irregularities considered in this study show that the overall trend is similar. The relatively small differences may be accounted for regional construction practices. It is concluded that initial-phase seismic assessment procedures based on architectural features yield in somewhat similar results independent of their bases. However, the differences in the scores emphasize the proper selection of the method based on the regional structure characteristics.

The necessity of developing a rapid dose assessment system has been emphasized for an effective emergency response of mitigation of off-site radiological consequences. A microcomputer program based on a rapid dose assessment model of the off-site radiological consequences is developed for various accdident sinarios for the Nuclear Power Plants in Korea. This model, which is consists of the user answering-question input format as a menu driven method and the output format of table and graphic types, is helpful to decision-making on Emergency Preparedness by being more rapidly able to implement the off-site dose assessment and to interpret the result.

The shade avoidance syndrome is a morphological and physiological response when plants are exposed to shade. Recent work in Arabidopsis had begun to define the molecular components of the shade avoidance syndrome in dicotyledonous model plant. However, little is known about the shade avoidance response networks in agriculturally important monocotyledon crops such as rice. Here, we found that the degree of bending at the lamina joint is inversely proportional to the R:FR ratio. To elucidate which phytochrome is involved in this response, we did lamina joint inclination assay with the rice phytochrome-deficient mutants (osphyA, osphyB, and osphyC) and the wild type plants. Whereas the osphyA and osphyC knockout mutants bent at the lamina joint in the far-red rich condition as the wild type plants, the osphyB knockout mutants no longer bent at the lamina joint in the far-red rich condition. These results suggest that PHYB acts as a sole photoreceptor in the lamina joint inclination response in rice.

A fluid transient analysis for the propellant flow in a monopropellant propulsion system is conducted by using the method of characteristics(MOC). It reviews algebraic simultaneous equations method and Cramer's rule method utilized to drive the compatible and characteristic equations to understand MOC extensively. The identification of fluid transient phenomena of propulsion system of Koreasat 1 is carried out through parametric studies. The valve response time is one of the dominant parameters governing the fluid transient phenomena. The results show that the shorter closing time induces the greater pressure response amplitude. And it shows that the installation of in-line orifice is effectively to limit the fluid transients in rapid valve response time and at high pressure. But it seems that the effect of orifice weakens at slow valve response time and at low pressures.

The performance evaluation technique of a heat exchanger is described by using a transient response analysis for the determination of an average heat transfer coefficient. The model using a finite difference method can accommodate arbitrary inlet fluid temperature as well as longitudinal conduction. Temperature histories are obtained from the experiments at the inlet and outlet of test core. Heat transfer coefficient and friction factor of the plate array are obtained in short times using the data reduction program of transient response analysis in the single-blow method. The results agree very well with theoretical results. It is shown that the rms deviations are very small and the performance evaluation technique gives rapid and accurate results.

This paper proposes a robust control using a sliding mode controller and a fuzzy controller. Having the excellent transient response, the sliding mode controller has the poor steady state response, but the fuzzy controller has a good steady state reponse. A proposed controller combined these controllers has the quick response at the initial condition without the errors. The proposed robust nonlinear controller takes the advantage of the fuzzy controller and is the rapid and the stable response in conditions that the sliding mode controller keeps the errors at the steady state. The performance of proposed method is proved by simulation of the inverted pendulum.

In modern society, rapid environmental changes are occurring due to the complex interaction of various factors. Starting in 2020, the social environment is changing rapidly due to the impact of the pandemic, and the social and economic living environment is changing significantly not only in Korea but also internationally. In this trend, behavioral and spatial changes are occurring in response to changes in the architectural living environment. To analyze changes in behavior and space from an architectural perspective in response to changes in the social environment, first organize the concept and aspects of the pandemic that caused the change, examine the theory of the pandemic, and examine architectural responses to changes in the social environment. There is a need to analyze. Therefore, in order to architecturally review changes in the social environment due to the pandemic, the purpose of this study is to analyze the living behavior and space of major highrise residential complexes in the living environment and present new spatial alternatives in response.

In order to establish and operate a rapid and effective disaster safety management system in an emergency situation that threatens the safety of citizens, such as disaster, accident or terrorism, appropriate responses are necessary. An integrated task execution system for rapid response and restoration should be implemented not only by the central ministries related to disaster management and response, but also by local governments, NGO, and individuals, under clear role sharing. In the case of Seoul city, it is urgent to establish an effective disaster management system for preventing and responding to disasters, because of the increasing possibility of natural disasters due to climate change, the threat of terrorism, urban decay and the industrial accidents. From the perspective of governance, this study tried to seek out countermeasures such as disaster response system and command system at disaster site centering on Seoul city government interdepartmental organization system, implementation process and systematization of response procedures.

The advantage of tide-well system with an intake pipe near the sea floor is that it can record not only tide but also harbour oscillation. tsunami. rapid change of tide height when a storm was causing rapid fluctuations in sea level. Consequently record of harbour oscillation may be extracted from tidal records by removing the predicted tide and then correcting for the attenuation caused by the tide-well system. The response of tide-well with intake pipe to seiche was examined by in situ measurements for Mukho tidal station. The well constant was also computed hydraulically on the basis of the structure of the tide gage system. It has been found that the response coefficient of the Mukho tidal station was 0.01. The tide records can be used for the determination of mean sea levels for surveying purposes. as the response of tide-well system can be estimated.

The purpose of this study was to develop evidence-based practice guideline for rapid response to acute deterioration of hospitalized patients. The guideline was developed according to the Clinical Practice Guideline Adaptation Manual. and evaluated using AGREE II tool. The guidelines were checked content validation by an expert group, final 130 recommendations in 5 sections including management, recognition, activation, response, and evaluation. The average of the overall practical application to the guidelines was 4.41±0.78 out of 5, which showed high applicability in clinical work.
