A patient treated with venlafaxine for major depression developed an interstitial lung disease (ILD) with the characteristic clinical, radiological and pathological features of chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis. A high resolution computed tomography scan demonstrated ground glass opacity, mosaic perfusion with air-trapping and traction bronchiectasis in both lungs. The pathological findings were consistent with a nonspecific interstitial pneumonia pattern. Clinical and radiological improvements were noted after the discontinuation of venlafaxine and the administration of a corticosteroid. This report provides further evidence that the anti-depressant venlafaxine can cause ILD.

The current design and construction practice prevailing in Korea has been investigated. From the survey the various problems at hand have been listed up and evaluated. The objectives of this research is to propose the means to solve the current problems from the result of the investigation. At the same time, the propagation characteristics of vibration and noise due to construction. especially pile driving. have been studied and the current regulation that restrict these construction nuisance has been investigated by field measurement.

본 고에서는 도심지 터널의 과학적인 설계/시공을 위한 요소기술 확보의 일환으로 기존의 연구자들이 제시한 손상평가 기법을 토대로 터널굴착에 따른 지중매설관 손상여부의 예비평가를 위한 평가기법을 제시하였다. 제시된 기법을 토대로 다양한 경우에 대한 매개변수 연구를 수행한 결과 지반침하곡선의 경사 및 곡률 등 침하곡선의 제반특성에 기반을 둔 본 연구에서 개발된 손상평가기법의 평가결과는 변곡점의 위치에 많은 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으며, 따라서 현장 특유의 지반특성 및 시공조건이 반영된 변곡점 산정식의 개발을 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 아울러서 터널심도가 터널직경의 2.5배 이하인 경우 손상도가 현저히 증가하며, 전반적으로 관의 재질이나 조인트의 형식에 관계없이 관체의 인장변형률이 손상여부를 결정짓는 인자인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 종합하여 터널과 매설관의 상대적 위치 및 지반손실량에 따라 매설관의 손상정도를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있는 설계도표를 제시하였다.

The powder utilization is the one of the best recycling methods for the waste tires. However, economic problem still exist. In order to overcome an economic problem the ground rubber particles are surface modified, which induced to the rubber particles that have good mechanical properties and higher compatibility. In this study, we investigated ultrasonic treatment and reduced rubber particle size. Results showed that sulfur cross-linkage network of the waste rubber is changed by the ultrasonic treatment.

This paper deals with the combined levitation and guidance EDS(Electrodynamic Suspension) Maglev system. Levitation and guidance forces generated in figured-of-eight coil are examined. End effect of Superconducting magnets is considered in that the air gap flux has been calculated using the finite number of magnets. Induced emfs and currents of ground coils are given as results. Eletromagnetic forces vary according to the built-in position of magnets. Levitation forces of the first magnet pair are the smellest and those of the second one are the largest. This result shows that the end effect of SCMs should be considered in a concentrated magnet system.

Fault current can be discharged from power transmission tower due to lightning or inadvertent contact of crane, etc. Pipelines in proximity to either the source of the ground fault or the substation grounding grid may provide convenient conductive path for the fault current to travel. Inappropriate measures to the neighboring pipelines against the fault current may cause severe damages to the pipes such as coating breakdown, arc burn, puncture, loss in wall thickness, or brittle heat-affected zone. Like inductive and conductive AC coupling, steadily induced fault current right after the coating breakdown can lead to corrosion of the pipeline. In this work, some protection guidelines against fault currents used in the field have been validated through the simulation and analytical method.

This study presents the influence of blasting-induced vibration on the adjacent structures in rocks of various RMR values. 3D finite element analysis was performed to simulate the behaviour of tunnel and adjacent structures during rock excavation. The blast loadings were evaluated from the blasting pressure which is depending on the type and amount of explosive charges. Influencing factors for the stability of adjacent structures and ground conditions were reviewed in terms of structural dimensions and RMR values. The stiffness and load of adjacent structures are modeled in the numerical analysis to Investigate blasting effects of the size of adjacent structures. The vibration velocity and maximum particle velocity was increase sharply when the RMR value changed from 30 to 50. The effect of particle velocity was minimized at the width of structure become 2 times of tunnel diameter.

In this study, in order to increase electric field intensify near a lightning rod a floating conductor is adopted. If a floating conductor is located near the lightning rod, the positive and negative charges are equally induced on the lightning rod and the floating conductor, and the local electric field intensity near them increases. This increase of electric field intensity can ignite easily the ionization process of the surrounding air and the corona phenomenon begins there. It occurs before the usual lightning process begins on the top of the conventional rod. The charges of the ground or some buildings are omitted during the corona process through the floating conductor. Therefore, the probability of the main lightning on the conventional rod can be reduced.

Due to various types of errors added to dynamic weight measurement data, proper methods to reduce measurement errors are required to produce reliable weights. To cope with parasitic types of errors in real systems, information provided by the various sensors is utilized and combined in such a way to reduce the measurement errors of load cells. In addition to four channels of load cells from a trailer, an accelerometer is used to obtain the information to compensate the error induced from vertical movement of the vehicle due to the variation of ground level. A model trailer system is run to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method to reduce noise of dynamic weight measurements. Experiments show that the processed error magnitudes of less than 20 g can be obtained for 10 Kg experimental loads.

This paper investigates the transient characteristics of grounding systems used in under-ground distribution power cables. Recently, two kinds of grounding system are used for underground distribution cables in Korea. The first one is conventional multi-point grounding system, the other is newly proposed non-bundled common grounding system. The non-bundled common grounding system has an advantage the decreasing the power loss due to decrease of the shield circulation current. In this paper, the lightning overvoltage induced in neutral wire (in case of non-bundled common grounding system, overvoltage between opened neural wires and grounding in each phase) of these two kinds of grounding systems are estimated and compared by field tests and EMTP simulations. The EMTP simulation methods are firstly verified by comparison of measurement and simulation. Finally, the insulation level against lightning is expected by EMTP simulation results using verified model.
