This study was done for the preparation of macromolecular material with UV-blocking features by adding the benzophenone group that is commonly used as a UV-absorbent and $TiO_2$ which is known to be a very stable material in chemical and physical aspects. Also, we compared the level of UV absorbency of the polymer produced from polymerization with previous materials and measured basic properties such as water content, refractive index and optical transmittance of produced contact lenses. The results of the measurement showed that the refractive index and water content of the contact lens with added UV-absorbent was 1.430~1.440 and 35.0~45.0% respectively, which was similar to that of previous contact lenses. Also, for optical transmittances of each wave length, contact lenses without the UV-absorbent was 89%, 88% and 89% respectively for UV-A, UV-B and visible light, indicating that the UV transmittance is very high though contrary with cases of contact lenses with added 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone and 2,4-dihydroxy-benzophenone which showed transmittances of 0% and 6% respectively for UV-A and UV-B showing a UV-blocking effect. Meanwhile, contact lenses with added $TiO_2$ showed transmittance of 6% and 51% respectively for UV-A and UV-B also showing a UV-blocking effect. The visible transmittance was 77~89% showing that it satisfies the visible transmittance required for ophthalmological materials.

The dependence of polarographic parameters on pressure and temperature for the reduction of 2.0 ${\times}\;10^{-4}$M 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) and 5.0 ${\times}\;10^{-4}$M 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol(PAR) in buffered methanol-water mixed solution at the dropping mercury electrode, has been discussed. In this experiment the temperature is varied from 25$^{\circ}C$ to 35$^{\circ}C$ and the pressure is ranging from 1 atmosphere to 1,800 atmospheres. The reduction half-wave potentials are shifted to the more positive potentials with increase in pressure. The diffusion currents of two depolarizers become considerably larger with increase in pressure from 1 atmosphere to about 1,000 atmospheres but are getting smaller above 1,000 atmospheres. The slopes of log plot become much larger with increase in pressure, which indicates the more irreversible reduction. The reduction currents of two depolarizers are found to be diffusion controlled over all pressure ranges. The linear relationships between diffusion current and the concentration of two depolarizers are good agreement over all pressure ranges (1 atm∼1,800atm.).

Growing demand and rapid development of the synthetic fiber rope in mooring system have taken place since it has been used in deep water platform lately. Unlike a chain mooring, synthetic fiber rope composed of lightweight materials such as Polyester(polyethylene terephthalate), HMPE(high modulus polyethylene) and Aramid(aromatic polyamide). Non-linear stiffness and another failure mode are distinct characteristics of synthetic fiber rope when compared to mooring chain. When these ropes are exposed to environmental load for a long time, the length of rope will be increased permanently. This is called 'the creep phenomenon'. Due to the phenomenon, The initial characteristics of mooring systems would be changed because the length and stiffness of the rope have been changed as time goes on. The changed characteristics of fiber rope cause different mooring tension and vessel offset compared to the initial design condition. Commercial mooring analysis software that widely used in industries is unable to take into account this phenomenon automatically. Even though the American Petroleum Institute (API) or other classification rules present some standard or criteria with respect to length and stiffness of a mooring line, simulation guide considers the mechanical properties that is not mentioned in such rules. In this paper, the effect of creep phenomenon in the fiber rope mooring system under specific environment condition is investigated. Desiged mooring system for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit(MODU) with HMPE rope which has the highest creep is analyzed in a time domain in order to investigate the effects creep phenomenon to vessel offset and mooring tension. We have developed a new procedure to an analysis of mooring system reflecting the creep phenomenon and it is validated through a time domain simulation using non-linear mooring analysis software, OrcaFlex. The result shows that the creep phenomenon should be considered in analysis procedure because it affects the length and stiffness of synthetic fiber rope in case of high water temperature and permanent mooring system.

This study analyzed the in vitro physiological activity of Aconitum pseudolaeve var erectum Nakai (AP) and its effect on perfume on an electroencephalogram (EEG). The results indicated that the absolute alpha power spectrum (AA) and the absolute theta power spectrum (AT) decreased significantly during more than before the inhalation of the AP perfume and its reconstruction perfume. Although there were a little different pattern in the induced part of the wave generated by the inhalation of the AP perfume and its reconstruction perfume, alpha- and theta- were shown equally. In addition, there was the same pattern in which the rate of increase reduced. The results suggest that the perfume of the AP and its reconstruction perfume have a stimulating effect on the brain. In terms of the physiological activity of AP, the activity of AP ethanol extract was significantly higher than that of water extract in DPPH, collagenase, and nitric oxide, except for an astringent effect. The AP ethanol extract was about 80% at 500 ppm in collagenase inhibition activity. In addition, the AP water and ethanol extracts were 50% at 100 ppm in the NO inhibition activity. Based on these results, we conclude that this natural substance could be used in cosmetics and in the development of perfumes.

When the numerical analysis is carried out, it is necessary to set proper elements as a feature of analysis domains for more accurate simulations. In this study, Distinct Element Method(DEM) is applied, only considering repulsive force and tensile force except for frictional force and resisting force of particle. When the filled particles with initial Quad-tree type is relocated by DEM, a blank space existing among the particles can be minimized because the shape of particle is circular. Finally, it is the effective feature that the centroidal disposion of the particles is similar to an equilateral triangle. Triangular mesh are formed by using the Delaunay triangular technique on these relocated particles, the quality of triangular mesh is more improved by carrying out Laplace interpolations. The compared result of Aspect Ratio before and after the Laplace interpolation is shown that although the quality of triangular mesh made by DEM is good, the later triangular mesh are higher quality than the formers. In this study, although the developed technique takes a longer calculational time than the previous technique to generate triangular mesh, it is considered that the applicable possibility is very high in the generation of finite element mesh about wave analysis and various numerical simulation to need a complex or reappearance of exact topography.

Sheaths are arranged in the web and lower part of prestressed-concrete girder bridges, and prestressing wires and concrete are indirectly bonded together by filling interior parts of the sheaths. However, when the filling is not sufficient, water can penetrate the interior parts of the sheaths and, thereby, prestressing wires can be corroded or transverse cracks would occur around sheaths by the freezing and thawing action of the penetrated water. Therefore, it is an important element in maintenance management of structures to find out the sheaths unfilled with grout early after construction. In this paper, in order not to damage bridge members, the impact-echo method with a new approach in application is used to probe sheaths unfilled with grout for real structures. The location of sheaths is first estimated with reinforcing bar probing instrument of radar type and the measurement locations of sheaths are determined. By sending elastic wave to the side of girders and receiving the response, the location of the unfilled part of a sheath was estimated from the difference between high frequency peak and twice the resonance frequency indicating thickness. To verify the location of void estimated by the impact-echo method, pictures were taken by an industrial fiber scope after drilling a hole.

The application of multiphase flows is increasingly being applied to analyze phenomena such as single phase flows where the fluid boundary changes continuously over time or the problem of mixing a liquid phase and a gas phase. In particular, multiphase flow models that take into account incompressible Newtonian fluids for liquid and gas are often applied to solve the problems of the free water surface such as wave fields. In general, multi-phase flow models require time-based the surface tracking of each fluid's phase boundary, which determines the accuracy of the final calculation of the model. This study evaluates the advection performance of representative VOF-type boundary tracking techniques applied to various CFD numerical codes. The effectiveness of the FCT method to control the numerical flux to minimize the numerical diffusion in the conventional VOF-type boundary tracking method and advection calculation was mainly evaluated. In addition, the possibility of tracking performance of free surface using CIP method (Yabe and Aoki, 1991) was also investigated. Numerical results show that the FCT-VOF method introducing an anti-diffusive flux to precent excessive diffusion is superior to other methods under the confined conditions in this study. The results from this study are expected to be used as an important basic data in selecting free surface tracking techniques applied to various numerical codes.

이상기후로 인하여 제방붕괴에 대한 위험성이 높아지고 있고, 이로 인해 발생하는 제내지 내 붕괴 홍수파에 대한 연구가 증가하고 있다. 특히 홍수파 선단의 이동 속도 추정은 제내지의 위험성을 예측하고, EAP 등을 수립하는데 매우 중요한 자료가 될 수 있다. 제내지에서의 선단 홍수파에 대한 예측을 하기 위해서는 해당 지역의 하천특성, 수리특성 및 제방 등 수공구조물 특성뿐만 아니라, 제내지의 지형 및 토지이용 현황 등을 조사하여 수리실험이나 수치모의를 수행해야 하는 것이 일반적이다. 수치해석의 경우 수리실험에 비하여 경제성 및 효율성 측면에서 뛰어날 수 있으나, 제방 붕괴과정 및 메커니즘을 반영하기가 불가능하다. 이에 반해 수리모형실험의 경우 제방붕괴 양상 및 그 과정의 재현이 가능하기 때문에, 제내지에서의 선단홍수파 전파에 관한 보다 정확한 양상을 파악할 수 있을 것이다. 그러나 이러한 실험은 실제 크기의 하천이 아닌 축소모형 또는 개수로에서 수행되었기 때문에, 초기 홍수파의 전파가 축척효과(Scale effect)의 영향을 받을 가능성이 매우 크다. 특히 선단 홍수파의 경우 파가 진행되면서 수심이 낮아지고, 유속이 느려지기 때문에 그 영향은 점차 증대된다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 초기 선단 홍수파의 표면장력 영향을 고려한 보정 계수 산정에 대한 연구를 수리실험을 통해 수행하였다. 연구는 크게 4가지 과정으로 구성되었다. 첫째는 농도-표면장력의 관계 규명이며, 둘째는 표면장력-홍수파 전파 속도 관계 규명이다. 셋째는 표면장력과 Weber Number(We)의 관계를 도출하는 것이며, 마지막은 We를 이용하여 한계조건을 제시하는 것이다. 실험은 계면활성제의 농도를 변화시켜가며, 얇은 유리관(D=1.0 mm)에서 물의 상승 높이 및 접촉각을 측정하여 농도와 표면장력의 관계를 측정하였으며, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 물의 표면장력을 변화시켜 가며 $0.5(B){\times}0.3(L){\times}0.2(H)m$의 Head-tank에 설치된 수문을 빠르게 개방하여, 홍수파가 퍼지는 양상을 관측하였다. 홍수파의 이동 속도는 진행시간에 따라서 퍼짐 넓이를 측정하여 제곱근을 취하는 방식으로 평균속도를 산정하였다. 이러한 관계를 이용하여 표면장력이 없을 경우의 이동속도 및 ??를 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 홍수파 전파 특성에 대한 수리실험 자료를 바탕으로 Weber 수를 도출하여 표면장력의 영향을 받는지 여부를 판단할 수 있으며, 표면장력의 영향을 받을 경우, 제시된 결과를 이용하여 홍수파 선단의 속도를 보정할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과는 토대로 축소모형으로 수행되는 홍수파 전파에 대한 수리실험결과의 보정 기초자료로 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

Geophysical exploration techniques are effective for monitoring changes in the ground condition around the excavation project to prevent subsidence risks during excavation work, therefore, improving analysis techniques is required for applying and supplementing various geophysical exploration technologies. In this study, a field-scale on-site test was conducted to detect possible ground subsidence hazards and areas of relaxation zone that may occur during excavation work and due to underground water level changes. In order to carry out the field test, a real-scale excavation test bed was constructed and the geophysical exploration methods, such as electrical resistivity survey and multi-channel analysis of surface wave (MASW) survey for urban sites condition, have researched for optimal geophysical exploration parameter, design and correlation analysis between the results by reviewing the validity of each individual geophysical exploration and modeling. The results of this study showed the impact of each geophysical exploration on the relaxation zone and, in particular, the location of the underground water surface and the effects of excavation were identified using electrical resistivity survey. Further research on modeling will be required, taking into account the effects of excavation and groundwater.

The objective of this study is to develop a two-dimensional (2D) flood model that can perform accurate flood analysis with simple input data. The 2D flood inundation models currently used to create flood forecast maps require complex input data and grid generation tools. This sometimes requires a lot of time and effort for flood modeling, and there may be difficulties in constructing input data depending on the situation. In order to compensate for these shortcomings, in this study, a grid-based model that can derive accurate and rapid flood analysis by reflecting correct topography as simple input data was developed. The calculation efficiency was improved by extending the existing 2×2 sub-grid model to a 5×5. In order to examine the accuracy and applicability of the model, it was applied to the Gamcheon Basin where both urban and river flooding occurred due to Typhoon Rusa. For efficient flood analysis according to user's selection, flood wave propagation patterns, accuracy and execution time according to grid size and number of sub-grids were investigated. The developed model is expected to be highly useful for flood disaster mapping as it can present the results of flooding analysis for various situations, from the flood inundation map showing accurate flooding to the flood risk map showing only approximate flooding.
