  • Avariety of symptoms can occur following traumatic brain injury(TBI) or other types of acquired brain injury. These symptoms can include problems with short-term memory, attention, planning, problem solving, impulsivity, disinhibition, poor motivation, and other behavioral and cognitive deficit. These symptoms may respond to certain drugs, such as dopaminergic agents. Amantadine may protect patients from secondary neuronal damage after brain injury as a effect of NMDA receptor antagonists and may improve functioning of brain-injured patients as a dopaminergic agonist. Clinically, based on current evidence, amantadine may provide a potentially effective, safe, and inexpensive option for treating the cognitive, mood, and behavioral disorders of individuals with brain injury. The rationales for using amantadine are discussed, and pertinent literatures are reviewed.

  • To determine the effects of anesthesia to clove oil on the secondary stress indices, changes in haematological and blood chemistry were monitored in healthy crucian carps (Carassius auratus). 24 fishes were divided into three groups, and blood was collected before anaesthesia (control group), immediately after anaesthesia at a concentration of 30 mg/l clove oil (anesthetized group), and 24 h after anaesthesia (recovered group). The anesthesia to clove oil significantly increased glucose in anaesthetized group, and constantly decreased lactate dehydrogenase in anaesthetized group and recovered group. However, clove oil had not effect on other biochemical indices. These results suggests that the anesthetic use of clove oil at a concentration of 30 mg/l does not cause irreversible damage in carp.

  • Cracking problems which high temperature plant components suffer during long-term service, occur very often at welded locations. The crack occurs due to accumulated creep damage near fusion line or at heat affected zone (HAZ). However, most of the studies on creep crack growth behavior have been performed with matrix metal not wit welded metal due to the difficulty of interpreting the test results. In this study, creep crack growth rates were measured with C(T) specimens whose cracks were formed along the fusion line or HAZ. The measured crack growth rates were characterized by {TEX}$C_{t}${/TEX}-parameter derived for elastic-primary-secondary creeping material. Since contribution of primary creep was significant for the tested 1Cr-0.5Mo steel, its effect was carefully studied. Effects of crack tip plasticity and material aging were also discussed.

Motor proper move connection data took advantage of result of existing data and iron loss and copper loss, mechanical loss took advantage of statistical data, and decide motor move laking advantage of saving data and secondary resistance and optimum purpose of method that is proposed through single phase induction motor and comparison performance evaluation having on the same output parameter. That decide material factor, electric power damage ratio, and coefficient of utilization for optimum function by method that search request output and optimum values of efficiency case by case and decided is proper that is saved after take magnetizing reactance relationship. This research result which it sees against a material expense with use coefficient of utilization which is included in loss expense decides the same plan variable back the place efficiency is useful and will be applied.

  • Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) is a standardized evolutionary Advanced Light Water Reactor design under development Korea Power Company(KEPCO). It incorporates design enhncements such as active and passive advanced design features(ADFs) to increase the plant safety. A Preliminary level 1 Probabilistic Safety Assessment(PSA) has been performed for KNGR to examine the effect of these safety features. The preliminary PSA result shows that it meets the KNGR safety goal on core damage frequency(CDF). The result of this safety assessment shows that the four-train safety systems, and the ADFs such as Passive Secondary Cooling System (PSCS) contributes greatly to the reduction the CDF. Furthermore, several design changes are made or proposed for detailed review based on the PSA insights.

  • When carbon-filled rubber specimens are subjected to cyclic loading, they do not return to their initial state after loading and subsequent unloading, but exhibit a residual strain or permanent deformation. We propose a specific form of the pseudo-elastic energy function to represent cyclic loading for incompressible, isotropic materials with stress softening and residual strain. The essence of the pseudo-elasticity theory is that material behaviour in the primary loading path is described by a common elastic strain energy function, and in unloading, reloading or secondary unloading paths by a different strain energy function. The switch between strain energy functions is controlled by the incorporation of a damage variable into the strain energy function. An extra term is added to describe the permanent deformation. The finite element implementation of the proposed model is presented in this paper. All parameters in the proposed model and elastic law can be easily estimated based on experimental data. The numerical analyses show that the results are in good agreement with experimental data.

  • Service life of steel bridges depends on fatigue and corrosion. Fatigue damage result from stress concentration and initial defects in the joint of secondary member such as weldments. The objective of this study is to estimate fatigue strength of the cover plate weldments in the plate girder. For this study, fatigue tests, static tests and finete element method has been performed respectively from these results. It was found that our test results were well agreed with other test results and satisfied with the fatigue criterion of AASHTO, JSSC and EUROCODE specifications.

  • For air-tight modern buildings, secondary damage is likely to occur due to condensation in the relatively high heat-transmission windows since water vapor is not easy to discharge. Therefore, in this study, condensation performance of vacuum glazing was numerically analysed, compared with that of ordinary glass and confirmed experimentally by three sheets of vacuum glazing manufactured. The results show that the heat transmission coefficient of the vacuum glazing whose internal pressure is $10^{-3}$ torr was as low as about $5.7W/m^2{\cdot}K$. Thus, the condensation performance as well as the adiabatic performance was greatly improved compared to that of the ordinary glass.
