The girder of self-anchored suspension bridge is subjected to large compression force applied by main cables. So, serious damage of the girder due to breakage of hangers may cause collapse of the whole bridge. With the time increasing, the hangers may break suddenly for their resistance capacities decrease due to corrosion. Using nonlinear static and dynamic analysis methods and adopting 3D finite element model, the responses of a concrete self-anchored suspension bridge to sudden breakage of hangers are studied in this paper. The results show that the sudden breakage of a hanger has significant effects on tensions of the hangers next to the broken hanger, bending and torsion moments of the girder, moments of the towers and reaction forces of the bearings. The results obtained from dynamic analysis method are very different from those obtained from static analysis method. The maximum tension of hanger produced by breakage of a hanger exceeds 2.2 times of its initial value, the maximum dynamic amplification factor reaches 2.54, which is larger than the value of 2.0 recommended for cable-stayed bridge in PTI codes. If two adjacent hangers on the same side of bridge break one after another, the maximum tension of other hangers exceeds 3.0 times of its initial value. If the safety factor adopted to design hanger is too small, or the hangers have been exposed to corrosion, the bridge may collapse due to breakage of two adjacent hangers.

The frequency of typhoons and torrential rainfalls has increased due to climate change, and the concurrent risk of breakage of dams and reservoirs has increased due to structural aging. To cope with the risk of dam breakage, a more accurate emergency action plan (EAP) must be established, and more advanced technology must be developed for the prediction of flooding. Hence, the present study proposes a method for establishing a more effective EAP by performing flood and inundation analyses using one- and two-dimensional models. The probable maximum flood (PMF) under the condition of probable maximum precipitation (PMP) was calculated for the target area, namely the Gyeong-cheon reservoir watershed. The breakage scenario of the Gyeong-cheon reservoir was then built up, and breakage simulations were conducted using the dam-break flood forecasting (DAMBRK) model. The results of the outflow analysis at the main locations were used as the basis for the one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) flood inundation analyses using the watershed modeling system (WMS) and the FLUvial Modeling ENgine (FLUMEN), respectively. The maximum inundation area between the Daehari-cheon confluence and the Naeseong-cheon location was compared for each model. The 1D flood inundation analysis gave an area of 21.3 km², and the 2D flood inundation analysis gave an area of 21.9 km². Although these results indicate an insignificant difference of 0.6 km² in the inundation area between the two models, it should be noted that one of the main locations (namely, the Yonggung-myeon Administrative and Welfare Center) was not inundated in the 1D (WMS) model but inundated in the 2D (FLUMEN) model.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a technique to visualize specific DNA/RNA sequences within the cell nuclei and provide the presence, location and structural integrity of genes on chromosomes. A confocal Whole Slide Imaging (WSI) scanner technology has superior depth resolution compared to wide-field fluorescence imaging. Confocal WSI has the ability to perform serial optical sections with specimen imaging, which is critical for 3D tissue reconstruction for volumetric spatial analysis. The standard clinical manual scoring for FISH is labor-intensive, time-consuming and subjective. Application of multi-gene FISH analysis alongside 3D imaging, significantly increase the level of complexity required for an accurate 3D analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to establish automated 3D FISH scoring for z-stack images from confocal WSI scanner. The algorithm and the application we developed, SHIMARIS PAFQ, successfully employs 3D calculations for clear individual cell nuclei segmentation, gene signals detection and distribution of break-apart probes signal patterns, including standard break-apart, and variant patterns due to truncation, and deletion, etc. The analysis was accurate and precise when compared with ground truth clinical manual counting and scoring reported in ten lymphoma and solid tumors cases. The algorithm and the application we developed, SHIMARIS PAFQ, is objective and more efficient than the conventional procedure. It enables the automated counting of more nuclei, precisely detecting additional abnormal signal variations in nuclei patterns and analyzes gigabyte multi-layer stacking imaging data of tissue samples from patients. Currently, we are developing a deep learning algorithm for automated tumor area detection to be integrated with SHIMARIS PAFQ.

KSTAR 장치의 저온 component에 헬륨을 공급하기 위한 헬륨라인은 크게 두 가지로 이루어져 있다. 냉동기에서 KSTAR 저온용기 외부까지의 트랜스퍼 라인과, 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인이다. KSTAR 장치는 3가지 종류의 헬륨을 사용하여 각 저온 component를 냉각하는데, 초전도 자석 시스템과 버스라인에는 초임계 헬륨, 전류인입장치에는 액체 헬륨, 열차폐체에는 가스 헬륨을 공급한다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 냉동기에서 저온용기 근처까지 연결된 배관을 저온용기 내부의 각 장치에 최단거리로 열손실 없이 설치하여 각 장치가 정상 작동하도록 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 최대 20bar로 가압되는 운전시간 동안에 헬륨누설 없이 설치되어야 한다. 그리고 상온으로 부터의 복사열을 차단하기 위하여 다층절연제로 배관을 감싸주어야 하고 고전압 부분은 프리프레그 테잎으로 절연되어야 한다. 전기절연체는 세라믹과 스테인레스 스틸 튜브를 브레이징 접합 방법으로 연결하여 만들어진 것으론 배관과 배관, 배관과 저온 component간의 절연을 위해 사용되고, 헬륨라인과 동일하게 4.5K 초임계 헬륨온도에서 누설이 없어야 한다. 따라서 모든 전기절연체는 액체질소에 침전시켜 열충격을 가하고, 내부에 30 bar를 가압하여 진공 누설시험을 한다. 그리고 초전도 자석과 배관의 절연체로 사용되므로 15kV 고전압 절연 검사를 한다. 전기절연체의 세라믹 부분은 구조적 보강을 위하여 추가적으로 표면에 절연 작업을 한다. 현재 대부분의 저온용기 내부의 헬륨 라인은 설치 완료되어 있으며, 최종 검사가 진행 중이다.

Alumina dispersion strengthening copper(ADSC) alloy has great potential for use in many industrial applications such as contact supports, frictional break parts, electrode materials for lead wires, and spot welding with relatively high strength and good conductivity. In this study, we investigated the oxidation behavior of ADSC alloys. These alloys were fabricated in forms of plate and round type samples by surface oxidation reaction using Cu-0.8Al, Cu-0.4Al-0.4Ti, and Cu-0.6Al-0.4Ti(wt%) alloys. The alloys were oxidized at $980^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, 2 h, and 4 h in ambient atmosphere. The microstructure was observed with an optical microscope(OM) and a scanning electron microscope(SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). Characterization of alumina was carried out using a 200 kV field-emission transmission electron microscope(TEM). As a result, various oxides including Ti were formed in the oxidation layer, in addition to ${\gamma}$-alumina. The thickness of the oxidation layer increased with Ti addition to the Cu-Al alloy and with the oxidation time. The corrected diffusion equation for the plate and round type samples showed different oxidation layer thickness under the same conditions. Diffusion length of the round type specimen had a value higher than that of its plate counterpart because the oxygen concentration per unit area of the round type specimen was higher than that of the plate type specimen at the same diffusion depth.

구조용 부재에서 충격하중에 의해 발생하는 탄성파의 분산특성을 해석하기 위하여 시간-주파수 신호처리를 이용하였다. 강재 보와 알루미늄 판에서 충격하중을 모사하기 위하여 강구 낙하와 연필심 파단을 사용하였으며, 이로 인해 발생한 탄성파를 초음파 탐측자와 음향방출(AE) 센서를 사용하여 수신하였다. 실험에서 수신한 시간 영역의 신호해석을 위하여 분산성 파의 시간-주파수 해석이 가능한 웨이브렛 변환(WT)을 적용하였다. WT 변환의 크기의 최대값은 군속도의 도달시간을 나타냄을 보였다. 실험에서 측정한 보의 굽힘파의 군속도를 전단변형과 회전관성을 고려한 Timoshenko 보 이론과 비교하였으며, 판의 신장파와 굽힘파의 군속도를 Rayleigh-Lamb 분산관계식의 최저차 대칭($S_0$) 및 비대칭 모드($A_0$)의 속도값과 비교하였는데 모두 잘 일치하였다.

This study aims to investigate the influence of scoria aggregate (SA) and silica fume (SF) as a replacement of conventional aggregate and ordinary Portland cement (OPC), respectively. Three types of concrete were prepared namely normal weight concrete (NWC) using limestone aggregate (LSA) and OPC (control specimen), lightweight concrete (LWC) using SA and OPC, and LWC using SA and partial SF (SLWC). The representative workability and compressive strength properties of the developed concrete were evaluated, and the results were correlated with non-destructive ultrasonic pulse velocity and Schmidt hammer tests. The LWC and SLWC yielded compressive strength of around 30 MPa and 33 MPa (i.e., 78-86% of control specimens), respectively. The findings indicate that scoria can be beneficially utilized in the development of structural lightweight concrete. Present renewable sources of aggregate will preserve the natural resources for next generation. The newly produced eco-friendly construction material is intended to break price barriers in all markets and draw attraction of incorporating scoria based light weight construction in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries. Findings of the SWOT analysis indicate that high logistics costs for distributing the aggregates across different regions in Saudi Arabia and clients' resistant to change are among the major obstacles to the commercialized production and utilization of lightweight concrete as green construction material. The findings further revealed that huge scoria deposits in Saudi Arabia, and the potential decrease in density self-weight of structural elements are the major drivers and enablers for promoting the adoption of lightweight concrete as alternative green construction material in the construction sector.

본 논문은 임대료시장의 주기변화에 따른 헤도닉 모형의 임대료 결정요인의 영향력 변화를 분석하였다. 임대료지수를 구축하여 분석한 결과 금융위기가 전환점이 되어 서울시 임대료 시장이 하락기와 상승기로 구분됨을 밝혔으며 주기에 따른 헤도닉 모형의 특성변수의 회귀모수 변화를 고찰하였다. 분석은 강남오피스와 도심오피스로 구분하여 실시하였으며 권역에 상관없이 일관된 변화를 보인 개별회귀모수로서는 토지가격, 지하철역에서의 거리, 건물규모, 건물연한 및 전환이율로 밝혀졌다. 상승기에는 건물의 규모가 클수록 임대료가 높아지는 경향이 있으며 건물이 오래될수록 임대료 하락요인으로의 영향이 커지는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 전환이율 역시 임대료에서 차지하는 비중이 상승기에 높아짐을 보여준다. 토지가격의 영향은 줄어들고 교통편의성의 장점은 약해지고 있어 상승기에는 지리적 이점의 영향력이 감소하고 건물 특성의 영향력이 상대적으로 커지는 실증적 증거를 제시하였다.
