In order to reduce enormous cost of real-scale underwater explosion experiments on ships, the mechanical response of the ships have been analyzed by combining scaled-down experiments and Hopkinson's scaling law. However, the Hopkinson's scaling law is applicable only if all variables vary in an identical ratio; for example, thickness of ship, size of explosive, and distance between the explosive and the ship should vary with same ratio. Unfortunately, it is infeasible to meet such uniform scaling requirement because of environmental conditions and limitations in manufacturing scaled model systems. For the facile application of the scaling analysis, we propose a generalized scaling law that is applicable for non-uniform scaling cases in which different parts of the experiments are scaled in different ratios compared to the real-scale experiments. In order to establish such a generalized scaling law, we conducted a parametric study based on numerical simulations, and validated it with experiments and simulations. This study confirms that the initial peak value of response variables in a real-scale experiment can be predicted even when we perform a scaled experiment composed of different scaling ratios for each experimental variable.

Plasma density in semiconductor fabrication equipment becomes higher to achieve the improved the throughput of the process, but the increase of surface corrosion of the ceramic coated chamber wall has been observed by the increased plasma density. Plasma chamber wall coating with aerosol deposition prefer to be firm and uniform to prevent the potential creation of particle inside the chamber from the deformation of the coating materials, and the aerosol discharge nozzle is a good control factor for the deposited coating condition. In this paper, we investigated the design of the nozzle of the aerosol deposition to form a high-quality coating film. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study was employed to minimize boundary layer effect and shock wave. The degree of expansion, and design of simulation approach was applied to found out the relationship between the divergence angle and nozzle length as the key parameter for the nozzle design. We found that the trade-off tendency between divergence angle and nozzle length through simulation and quantitative analysis, and present the direction of nozzle design that can improve the uniformity of chamber wall coating.

Arthritis of hip joints deteriorates the quality of life in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Secondary to the articular inflammatory process, the shortened hip-girdle muscles contribute to the decreased joint mobility which may lead to the functional impairment. As the limitation of range of motion (ROM) usually progress slowly, clinicians regard it as a chronic condition and prescribe long-term therapy. However, by short-term intensive multimodal treatment, a 20-year-old man diagnosed as AS with severely limited hip joint ROM who relied on crutches doubled the joint angle and could walk independently only within 2 weeks. The combination included intra-articular steroid injection, electrical twitch obtaining intramuscular stimulation, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, heat, manual therapy, and stretching exercises. The management focused on the relaxation of hip-girdle muscles as well as the direct control of intra-articular inflammation. Hereby, we emphasize the effectiveness of intensive multimodal treatment in improving the function even within a short period.

In this study, the validity of reducing the number of gas turbine stages designed for a nitrogen Brayton cycle coupled to a sodium-cooled fast reactor was assessed. The turbine performance was evaluated through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations under different off-design conditions controlled by a reduced flow rate and reduced rotational speed. Two different multistage gas turbines designed to extract almost the same specific work were selected: two- and three-stage turbines (mid-span stage loading coefficient: 1.23 and 1.0, respectively). Real gas properties were considered in the CFD simulation in accordance with the Peng-Robinson's equation of state. According to the CFD results, the off-design performance of the two-stage turbine is comparable to that of the three-stage turbine. Moreover, compared to the three-stage turbine, the two-stage turbine generates less entropy across the shock wave. The results indicate that under both design and off-design conditions, increasing the stage loading coefficient for a fewer number of turbine stages is effective in terms of performance and size. Furthermore, the Ellipse law can be used to assess off-design performance and increasing exponent of the expansion ratio term better predicts the off-design performance with a few stages (two or three).

Sunspots' subsurface structure is an important subject to explain their stability and energy transport. Previous studies suggested two models for the subsurface structure of sunspots: monolithic model and cluster model. However, it is not revealed which model is more plausible so far. We obtain clues about the subsurface structure of sunspots by analyzing the motion of umbral flashes observed by the IRIS Mg II 2796Å slit-jaw images (SJI). The umbral flashes are believed as shock phenomena developed from upward propagating slow magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. If the MHD waves are generated by convective motion below sunspots, the apparent origin of the umbral flashes known as oscillation center will indicate the horizontal position of convection cells. Thus, the distribution of the oscillation centers is useful to investigate the subsurface structure of sunspots. We analyze the spatial distribution of oscillation centers in the merged sunspot. As a result, we found that the oscillation centers distributed over the whole umbra regardless of the convergent interface between two merged sunspots. It implies that the subsurface structure of the sunspot is not much different from the convergent interface, and supports that many field-free gaps may exist below the umbra as the cluster model expected. For more concrete results, we should confirm that the oscillation centers determined by the umbral flashes accurately reflect the position of wave sources.

Objectives This study aimed to conduct a systematic review evaluating the effectiveness of muscle energy technique(MET) in temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). Methods Searches were conducted in 11 electronic databases until October 2023. Randomized controlled trials(RCT) comparing the effect of MET for TMD were included. All studies were evaluated using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool. Results Nine documents that fulfilled all the criteria were obtained for analysis. All studies showed some concerns in high risk of bias, but showed a significant improvement in pain and maximum mouth opening compared to baseline of MET or control group. MET was not better than extracorporeal shock wave therapy or myofascial release in some outcomes. Conclusions MET seems to be an effective treatment for TMD in some regards, however, can be considered as an adjunct therapy which has weak evidence. Further studies are required due to the inconclusive data and poor homogeneity found in this review.

Laser cleaning has the advantages of environmental protection, precision, and high efficiency, and has good prospects for application in removing oxide films on the surface of aluminum alloy. This paper discusses the cleaning threshold and cleaning mechanism of aluminum alloy surface oxide film. A nanosecond pulsed laser was used to remove a 5-㎛-thick oxide film from the surface of 7A04 aluminum alloy, and the target surface temperature and cleaning depth were simulated. The effects of different laser energy densities on the surface morphology of the aluminum alloy were analyzed, and the plasma motion process was recorded using a high-speed camera. The temperature measurement results of the experiment are close to the simulation results. The results show that the laser cleaning of aluminum alloy oxide film is mainly based on the vaporization mechanism and the shock wave generated by the explosion.

충격관을 사용하여 L.P.G./$O_2$혼합기체의 폭발반응에 대해 L.P.G. 농도 3~45 부피 % 범위에 걸쳐 조사하였다. 본실험조건하에서 폭발가능한 하한농도조건은 L.P.G.농도 3.4%, 상한농도조건은 40.0%로 측정되였다. L.P.G.농도가 증가함에 따라 폭발파속도는 증가하였으나 당량비조건(${\phi}$=1, L.P.G. 농도 17.2%)에서 변곡점을 나타내었으며 최대속도는 당량비보다 1.57배 큰 농도조건(${\phi}$=1.57)에서 2.65km/sec를 나타낸 후 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 당량비근처에서 변곡점이 나타난 것은 L.P.G. 농도가 당량비보다 적은 조건과 당량비보다 큰 조건하에서 폭발반응메카니즘이 다른데에 기인하는 것으로 믿어진다. 또한 충격가열 방식을 사용하여 L.P.G./$O_2$ 조성비에 따른 자동점화 온도를 측정하였다. 폭발파를 형성시킬 수 있은 자동점화온도는 당량비조건에서 $742{\pm}3{\circ}K$의 최저값을 나타냈으며 당량비로 부터 벗어남에 따라 급격히 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.

1 GW/$cm^2$ 이상의 고강도의 레이저 빔을 얇은 금속 호일의 한 점에 집중시키면, 레이저 삭마현상에 의해 발생된 충격파가 금속 호일 안으로 전파하게 된다. 이 충격파는 금속 호일의 반대 면에서 팽창파로 반사되고, 그 과정에서 금속 호일에 급격한 변형이 일어난다. 이 때, 금속 호일의 반대 면에 미세한 마이크로 단위 크기의 입자들을 코팅하면, 금속의 순간적인 변형으로 인해 입자들이 큰 운동량을 얻으며 가속되어 빠른 속도로 튕겨져 나가게 되는데 이것이 바이오리스틱 약물 전달의 원리이다. 이번 연구에서는 바이오리스틱 시스템의 제어성, 안정성, 효율을 향상시키고자 컨파인 조건을 변화시키며, 인체의 연한 조직을 모사하는 3% 젤라틴 용액으로의 침투 모습을 파악하였다. 사용한 컨파인 매질은 BK7 유리, 물, 그리고 초음파젤(RHAPAPHRM Co. Ltd)이다. 실험결과, 컨파인 매질과 그 두께를 조절함으로써 마이크로 입자들의 침투 양상을 제어할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

공사 소음이 공사장 주변의 양식 가물치 (체장 44cm)의 유영행동에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하기 위하여 1993년 9월 12일 경기도 평택시 신대리의 아산호 부근에 위치한 육상 양어장에서 파일작업전과 파일작업중의 소음 레벨과 진동을 측정하고, 바이오 텔레메트리 기법을 사용하여 유영행동을 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 파일작업중 소음원으로 부터 약 90m의 거리에서 측정한 수중 소음 레벨, 공중 소음 레벨 및 진동 변위는 파일 작업전에 비하여 각각 36.5dB$(re\;l{\mu}Pa)$, 23dB$(re\;0.0002{\mu}bar)$ 및 $5.9{\mu}m$로 증가하였다. 2) 유영속도의 변화 폭은 자극을 가한 초기에 크고, 자극이 계속되면 그 변동폭은 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 활동량은 야간 보다 주간이 많고, 심한 자극을 받으면 상하운동을 많이 하며 양어장 바닥의 진흙 속으로 도피하는 경우도 있음을 알 수 있었다. 3) 파일작업중의 평균 유영속도는 0.50m/sec (체장대비 1.1배), 파일작업이 없을 때의 평균 유영속도는 0.36m/sec (체장대비 0.8배)이었으며, 파일작업중의 가물치의 평균 속도가 파일작업이 없을 때에 비하여 약 1.4배 빠른 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 소음이나 진동으로 인한 자극은 가물치의 생태에 상당한 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.
