The aim of the study is to show the results of complex shaking table experimental investigation focused on the response of two models of cylindrical steel tanks under mining tremors and moderate earthquakes, including the aspects of diagnosis of structural damage. Firstly, the impact and the sweep-sine tests have been carried out, so as to determine the dynamic properties of models filled with different levels of liquid. Then, the models have been subjected to seismic and paraseismic excitations. Finally, one fully filled structure has been tested after introducing two different types of damages, so as to verify the method of damage diagnosis. The results of the impact and the sweep-sine tests show that filling the models with liquid leads to substantial reduction in natural frequencies, due to gradually increasing overall mass. Moreover, the results of sweep-sine tests clearly indicate that the increase in the liquid level results in significant increase in the damping structural ratio, which is the effect of damping properties of liquid due to its sloshing. The results of seismic and paraseismic tests indicate that filling the tank with liquid leads initially to considerable reduction in values of acceleration (damping effect of liquid sloshing); however, beyond a certain level of water filling, this regularity is inverted and acceleration values increase (effect of increasing total mass of the structure). Moreover, comparison of the responses under mining tremors and moderate earthquakes indicate that the power amplification factor of the mining tremors may be larger than the seismic power amplification factor. Finally, the results of damage diagnosis of fully filled steel tank model indicate that the forms of the Fourier spectra, together with the frequency and power spectral density values, can be directly related to the specific type of structural damage. They show a decrease in the natural frequencies for the model with unscrewed support bolts (global type of damage), while cutting the welds (local type of damage) has resulted in significant increase in values of the power spectral density for higher vibration modes.

포장궤도에서는 프리팩 콘크리트방식으로 도싱자갈을 충전층의 골재로 활용한다. 골재의 가장 중요한 조건은 모르터와의 부착력이며 이를 위하여 표면의 불순물을 최대한 제거하여야 한다. 국내에서 개발한 포장궤도 공법에서는 기존의 수세척방식을 대체하는 친환경 건식세척기술을 개발하였다. 건식세척은 직경 0.3~0.5mm 내외로 파쇄한 경질 재료를 고압으로 분사시켜 골재 표면을 박피시키는 방식이다. 본 논문에서는 블라스팅기술의 세척 효율을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 현재 운용중인 장비조건하에서 분사 재료 및 시간 별 골재 잔입자 함량, 염화물 함유량, LA마모율, 압축강도시험 등을 실시하여 가장 효율적인 세척 재료 및 공정을 제시하고자 하였다.

무선 접속 시스템에서는 주파수 선택적 페이딩 환경에서 직교 주파수 분할 다중화 기법 (OFDM)의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 시불변 채널을 송수신단 모두 알고 있는 경우, 워터 필링 (water-filling) 기법을 이용한 적응변조 기법이 최적이라고 증명되었다. 하지만, OFDM 시스템에서는 워터 필링 기법은 모든 부채널에 대한 채널정보를 송신단으로 보내기 위한 방대한 양의 오버헤드를 필요로 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 제한된 궤환정보를 이용한 하항링크 적응변조 및 부호화 기법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. 궤환정보의 양을 최소화하기 위해서 각 부채널에 대한 채널정보 대신 하나의 OFDM 심볼을 기준으로 한 적응변조 방법을 적용한다. 궤환정보의 양이 대폭 감소되었지만, 성능열화 정도는 2dB 보다 적게 나타남을 모의실험을 통해 확인하고자 한다. 또한, OFDM 시스템에서는 부채널들을 그룹화하여 다중사용자 환경에서 사용될 수 있다. 이러한 다중사용자 환경에서는 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법의 전송률이 부채널 그룹이 증가할수록, 그리고 사용자가 많아질수록 채널용량에 근접함을 보여주고자 한다.

The hypothesis that three classes of water exist in hydrogels, namely X water (free water-like), Z-water (bound water-like), and Y water (interfacial water-like), has been verified and generally accepted. To further check the validity of this hypothesis and to study the nature of X, Y, and Z water as conformation changes, several experiments have been done using Tactic Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (P-HEMA) gels. Thermal expansively data for tactic P-HEMA gel was obtained. In each case of isotactic and syndiotactic P-HEMA, the higher water content gels showed an extremely sharp volume change at $0^{\circ}C$, indicating the presence of normal free water-like. Lower water content gels showed no anomalous change in thermal expansion, indicating that the water is bound water-like. The medium water content gels exhibited intermediate behavior. These results were also confirmed by bulk gel conductivity measurments. The differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) experiment was simply introduced to further verify the bound water-like quantities which was obtained by the method of dilatometry and specific conductivity. Observing the amounts of X, Y, and Z water with the change of tacticity, the similar content of bound water-like may be due to the same primary structure of isotactic and syndiotactic polymer and the difference in free and interfacial water-like content may be due to the difference in secondary and tertiary structure of tactic polymer. Therefore, as the polymer conformation varies, the free and interfacial water-like content will be varied. In order to demonstrate these concepts, Russel et al.'s CPK space-filling molecular models of isotactic and syndiotactic P-HEMA was utilized.

Objectives: This study was performed in order to evaluate the generation characteristics of airborne bacteria and fungi while operating a household humidifier, in consideration of user habits. Methods: Microbial samples were collected in a closed chamber with a total volume of 2.76 $m^3$, in which a humidifier was operated according to experimental strategies. A cultivation method based on the viable counts of mesophilic heterotrophic bacteria and fungi was performed. Experimental strategies were divided into three classes: the type of water in the water reservoir (tap water, cooled boiled water); the frequency of filling the reservoir (refill every day, no refill); and the sterilization method (sterilization function mode, humidifier disinfectants). Results: Significant increases in the concentration of airborne bacteria were observed while the humidifier was in operation. The concentration had increased to 2,407 $CFU/m^3$ by 120 hours when tap water filled the reservoir without any application of sterilization, while for cooled boiled water, it was merely 393 $CFU/m^3$ at a similar time point. Usages of disinfectant in the water tank were more effective in decreasing bioaerosol generation compared to sterilization function mode operation. Generation characteristics of airborne fungi were similar to those of bacteria, but the levels were not significant in all experiments. Calculated exposure factor can be used as an indicator to compare biorisk exposure. Conclusion: This study identified the potential for bioaerosol generation in indoor environments while operating a household humidifier. User practices were critical in the generation of bioaerosol, or more specifically, airborne bacteria. Proper usage of a humidifier ensures that any biorisks resulting from generated bioaerosol can be prevented.

A computer simulation of mold filling has been performed in order to analyze the fluid flow pattern in a mold cavity since casting defects such as cold shut formation, entrapment of air or gas, and inclusions are closely related to the fluid flow phenomena. The flow of molten metal entering the mold cavity with free surface has been modeled by SMAC(Simplified Marker and Cell) method. Two dimensional analysis was carried out on plate shape castings with two types of gate system. The calculation results were compared with those of water modeling experiments and showed relatively good agreement.

As a previous research, improved durability of concrete by filling capillary pores with waste cooking oil was suggested as a method of controlling carbonation of the concrete replaced high volume of SCMs. on the other hand, the emulsified refined waste cooking oil for better mixing performance had a drawback of reducing air content related with decreasing freeze-thawing resistance. As a solution of this problem, surface applying method was suggested instead of adding in mixing process, and in this research, the performance regarding concrete durability are evaluated comparing emulsified refined cooking oil with water-repelling agent.

In SPECT image, scatter count is the cause of quantitative count error and image quality degradation. This study is to evaluate the accuracy of CT based SC(CTSC) and energy window based SC(EWSC) as the comparison with existing Non SC. SPECT/CT images were obtained after filling air in order to acquire a reference image without the influence of scatter count inside the Triple line insert phantom setting hot rod(^99mTc 74.0 MBq) in the middle and each SPECT/CT image was obtained each separately after filling water instead of air in order to derive the influence of scatter count under the same conditions. For EWSC, 9 sub-energy windows were set additionally in addition to main energy window(140 keV, 20%) and then, images were acquired at the same time and five types of EWSC including DPW(dual photo-peak window)10%, DEW(dual energy window)20%, TEW(triple energy window)10%, TEW5.0%, TEW2.5% were used. Under the condition without fluctuations in primary count, total count was measured by drawing volume of interest (VOI) in the images of the two conditions and then, the ratio of scatter count of total counts was calculated as percent scatter fraction(%SF) and the count error with image filled with water was evaluated with percent normalized mean-square error(%NMSE) based on the image filled with air. Based on the image filled with air, %SF of images filled with water to which each SC method was applied is non scatter correction(NSC) 37.44, DPW 27.41, DEW 21.84, TEW10% 19.60, TEW5% 17.02, TEW2.5% 14.68, CTSC 5.57 and the scatter counts were removed the most in CTSC and %NMSE is NSC 35.80, DPW 14.28, DEW 7.81, TEW10% 5.94, TEW5% 4.21, TEW2.5% 2.96, CTSC 0.35 and the error in CTSC was found to be the lowest. In SPECT/CT images, the application of each scatter correction method used in the experiment could improve the quantitative count error caused by the influence of scatter count. In particular, CTSC showed the lowest %NMSE(=0.35) compared to existing EWSC methods, enabling relatively accurate scatter correction.
