  • 연구개는 그 주위조직과 더불어 생리적 기능에 있어 음성, 연하, 및 호흡 등에 중요한 역할을 한다. 종양등의 이유로 인한 연구개의 외과적 절제는 그 해부학적 크기와 모양의 영구적인 변화로 인해 여러기능의 상실을 초래한다. 이에 따른 결함은 과도한 비음, 연하중 음식물이나 유동물의 비관으로의 누출 등을 들 수 있다. 연구개와 그 주위조직의 생리적인 기능의 숙지 및 이를 응용한 보철물(Palatopharyngeal Obturator)의 적절한 제작은 이러한 기능적 결함을 수복하는데 이용되어진다. 본 증례에서는 종양으로 인해 연구개를 절제한 환자의 보철적 수복에 있어, 구강내 온도에 따라 그 형상이 변화하는 인상재를 이용하여, 측-후 인두벽의 운동을 기능적으로 인기하는 방법을 이용하였다. 이러한 방법으로 제작된 보철물은 종양으로 인한 연구개의 절제 후 생리적인 기능의 장애를, 올바른 Palatopharyngeal 폐쇠를 유도함으로써 음질의 향상, 연하등의 기능을 회복시키는데 큰 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • Tube Lines has carried out a "knowledge and investigation programme" on the deep tube tunnels comprising the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines, as required by the PPP contract with London Underground. Many of the tunnels have been in use for over 100 years, so this assessment was considered essential to the future safe functioning of the system. This programme has involved a number of generic investigations which guide the assessment methodology and the analysis of some 5,000 individual structures. A significant amount of investigation has been carried out, including ultrasonic thickness measurement, detection of brickwork laminations using radar, stress measurement using magnetic techniques, determination of soil parameters using CPT, pressuremeter and laboratory testing, installation of piezometers, material and tunnel segment testing, and trialling of remote photographic techniques for inspection of large tunnels and shafts. Vibrating wire, potentiometer, electro level, optical and fibre-optic monitoring has been used, and laser measurement and laser scanning has been employed to measure tunnel circularity. It is considered that there is scope for considerable improvements in non-destructive testing technology for structural assessment in particular, and some ideas are offered as a "wish-list". Assessment reports have now been produced for all assets forming Tube Lines' deep tube tunnel network. For assets which are non-compliant with London Underground standards, the risk to the operating railway has to be maintained as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) using enhanced inspection and monitoring, or repair where required. Monitoring techniques have developed greatly during recent years and further advances will continue to support the economic whole life asset management of infrastructure networks.

  • 본 연구에서는 실무 및 학계에 종사하는 45명의 전문가 집단을 대상으로 쌍별비교(pairwise comparision)에 의한 설문조사에서 얻어진 전문가들의 의견을 AHP 분석을 통하여 종합하는 과정을 거쳐 부도예측모형을 설계하여 검증한 뒤, LOGIT모형과 비교하였다. 본 연구에 의하면 부도예측모형에서 정량적인 정보보다 정성적인 정보가 더 중요한 역할을 한다는 D.Bunn-G.Wright(1991)의 연구와 일치하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 발견된 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째로 LOGIT 모형과 AHP 모형에서 모두 정량적인 정보만을 고려하는 경우보다 정성적인 정보를 함께 고려한 모형에서 부도예측율이 더 높은 것으로 나타나고 있어 부도가능성을 예측하는데 있어 정성적인 정보가 중요한 역할을 한다는 결론을 얻었다. 둘째로 AHP를 이용한 부도예측 모형을 설계할 때 각 속성에 대한 전문가(45명)들의 의견을 종합하는 방법으로 산술평균과 기하평균을 이용한 검증결과에 의하면 기하평균방법을 통하여 전문가들의 의견을 종합하는 것이 보다 합리적이라는 실증적 증거를 얻을 수 있었다. 셋째로 Akaike의 기준값을 분석한 결과에 의하면 LOGIT 모형은 정량적인 정보와 정성적인 정보를 모두 이용한 모형이 가장 우수한 것으로 판명되었고, 모형의 부도예측력도 가장 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. AHP 모형은 정성적인 정보만을 이용한 모형에서 가장 높은 부도예측을을 나타내었으며, 기하평균을 이용한 AHP 모형은 LOGIT 모형보다 항상 높은 부도예측율을 보여주었다.

  • In this study, two design examples of drilled shafts on soft ground in Ho-Chi-Minh City, Vietnam are introduced. One is for a 27-story apartment and the other is for a Arch bridge over Saigon river. Unlikely the normal cases in Korea, all of the bored pile foundations are supposed to be placed on soil layers. Therefore, skin friction between pile and ground is the most crucial design parameter. Three methods using SPT N value of sandy soil -Korean Road Bridge Code(1996), Reese and Wright (1977), and O'Neill and Reese (1988)- were adopted to obtain an ultimate axial bearing capacity. In order to verify the calculated bearing capacity, 3 sets of static load test and a Osterberg Cell test were performed at an apartment site and a bridge site respectively. LRFD (Load Resistance Factored Design) method was compared with ASD (Allowable Stress Design) method. On application of ASD method, safety factor for skin friction was adopted as 2 or 3 while safety factor for end bearing was 3. The design bearing capacities from ASD method matched well with those from LRFD method when safety factor for skin friction was adopted as 2.

  • Intrinsic and proximity gettering are popular processes to get higher cumulative production yield and usually adopt multi-step annealing and high energy ion implantation, respectively. In order to test the combined processed of these, high energy \ulcornerAs\ulcorner ion implantation and 2-step annealing process were adopted. After the ion implantation followed by 2-step annealing, the wafers were cleaved and etched with Wright etchant. The morphology of cross section on samples was inspected by FESEM. The concentration profile of As was measured by SRP. The location and type of secondary defects inspected by HRTEM were dependent on the 1st annealing temperatures. That is, a line of dislocation located at $1.5mutextrm{m}$ apart from the surface at $600^{\circ}C$ lst annealing was changed to some dislocation lines or loops nearby the surface at 100$0^{\circ}C$. The density of dislocation line was reduced but the size of the defects was enlarged as the temperature increased.

  • An efficient boundary-based technique is developed for addressing shape design sensitivity analysis in supercavitating flow problem. An analytical sensitivity formula in the form of a boundary integral is derived based on the continuum formulation for a general functional defined in potential flow problems. The formula, which is expressed in terms of the boundary solutions and shape variation vectors, can be conveniently used for gradient computation in a variety of shape design in potential flow problems. While the sensitivity can be calculated independent of the analysis means, such as the finite element method (FEM) or the boundary element method (BEM), the FEM is used for the analysis in this study because of its popularity and easy-touse features. The advantage of using a boundary-based method is that the shape variation vectors are needed only on the boundary, not over the whole domain. The boundary shape variation vectors are conveniently computed by using finite perturbations of the shape geometry instead of complex analytical differentiation of the geometry functions. The supercavitating flow problem is chosen to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology. Implementation issues for and optimization procedure are addressed in this flow problem.

  • To assess the genetic diversity and population structure of Korean K. borealis, allozyme analysis was performed. The average genetic variability of Korean K. borealis populations was %P=13.2, Ho=0.048, and He=0.045. This value was the lowest in comparison with other Korean amphibian species studied. Also, the value was much lower than that of a reference population from Chinese K. borealis (%P=50, Ho=0.125, He=0.172). Wright's F-statistics showed that Korean K. borealis has distinctly low level of gene flow among regional populations (F$_{ST}$=0.339, Nm=0.487) in comparison with other Korean amphibian species studied. However, the average level of genetic divergence among Korean K. borealis populations was moderate (Nei's D=0.020). Therefore, it appeared that low levels of genetic diversity (He=0.045) and gene flow (Nm=0.487) among regional populations ave probably due to the results of decreasing population size and patchy distribution of this species in Korea.

  • 본 연구는 미국의 건축 및 조경공간 형성에 미친 일본문화를 파악하기 위한 기초연구로서, 일본문화 및 공간디자인의 특성과 미국건축 및 조경에 나타난 그 면모에 관한 것이다. 1853년 미국과 일본의 문화교류를 시작으로 일본의 예술과 건축이 미국에 소개되었고, 특히 1893년 Chicago에서 열렸던 Wor1ds Columbian Exposition에서 선보인 일본의 건축물은 당시 미국의 건축가들에게 영향을 주었다. 그후 일본의 공간디인은 건축뿐만 아니라 조경분야에도 영향을 미쳐 현재 미국의 공간디자인을 구성하고 있는 특성 가운데 하나로 자리잡고 있다. 필자는 미국의 공간디자인에 영향을 준 일본문화의 실재를 파악하기 위하여 한국과 중국의 문화와 구별되는 일본만의 독특한 문화적 특성을 고찰해보고, 미국 현대건축의 선구자인 Frank Lloyd Wright, Greece and Greene, Philip Johnson, Richard J. Neutra의 작품 및 조경디자이너인 Ethelbert E. Furlong, James C. Rose의 작품속에 나타난 일본식 공간디자인의 면모를 살펴보았다. 장래 이 분야의 연구에서는 미국문화의 특성이 고찰되어 미국과 일본의 두 문화가 비교 파악되기 위한 개념적 근거가 마련되고, 일본식 공간디자인이 미국에서 어떻게 이해되고 해석되어졌으며 미국식 공간 디자인으로 전환되었는지 살펴보며, 어떤 이유에서 일본의 공간디자인 양식이 미국의 건축 및 조경분야에서 문화적으로 일본보다 오랜 역사를 지닌 한국과 중국의 공간디자인 양식보다 커다란 영향을 주고 있는지에 관해 이해를 구하는 방향으로 연구가 수행되어야 함을 제안한다.

  • Estimations of wind flow over terrain are often needed for applications such as pollutant dispersion, transport safety or wind farm location. Whilst field studies offer very detailed information regarding the wind potential over a small region, the cost of instrumenting a natural fetch alone is prohibitive. Wind tunnels offer one alternative although wind tunnel simulations can suffer from scale effects and high costs as well. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) offers a second alternative which is increasingly seen as a viable one by wind engineers. There are two issues associated with CFD however, that of accuracy of the predictions and set-up and simulation times. This paper aims to address the two issues by demonstrating, by way of an investigation of wind potential for the Askervein Hill, that a good level of accuracy can be obtained with CFD (10% for the speed up ratio) and that it is possible to automate the simulations in order to compute a full wind rose efficiently. The paper shows how a combination of script and session files can be written to drive and automate CFD simulations based on commercial software. It proposes a general methodology for the automation of CFD applied to the computation of wind flow over a region of interest.

  • As part of the $AP1000^{TM}$ pressurized water reactor design certification program, a series of integral systems tests of the nuclear steam supply system was performed at the APEX-1000 test facility at Oregon State University. These tests provided data necessary to validate Westinghouse safety analysis computer codes for AP1000 applications. In addition, the tests provided the opportunity to investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena expected to be important in AP1000 small-break loss of coolant accidents (SBLOCAs). The APEX-1000 facility is a 1/4-scale pressure and 1/4-scale height simulation of the AP1000 nuclear steam supply system and passive safety features. A series of eleven tests was performed in the APEX-1000 facility as part of a U.S. Department of Energy contract. In all, four SBLOCA tests representing a spectrum of break sizes and locations were simulated along with tests to study specific phenomena of interest. The focus of this paper is the SBLOCA tests. The key thermal-hydraulic phenomena simulated in the APEX-1000 tests, and the performance and interactions of the passive safety-related systems that can be investigated through the APEX-1000 facility, are emphasized. The APEX-1000 tests demonstrate that the AP1000 passive safety-related systems successfully combine to provide a continuous removal of core decay heat and the reactor core remains covered with considerable margin for all small-break LOCA events.
