In this study, behavior of a rigid continuous wall, earth pressure distribution with construction stage, and axial force of earth anchors were evaluated based on field monitoring data and numerical analysis results. For this purpose, a construction site excavated using the diaphragm wall was selected and full instrumentation system was introduced. From monitoring results, it was found that the values of horizontal displacement of the wall measured from the inclinometers, which were installed within the diaphragm wall were similar to analytical value. The earth pressure increased with excavation progress due to jacking force of the ground anchors installed in previous excavation stages. When the excavation depth reached 60% of the final depth, observed earth pressure distribution was similar to that estimated from Peck's apparent earth pressure distribution. When the excavation depth was around 90% of the final depth, values of observed earth pressure showed middle values between those of Peck's and Tschebotarioffs apparent earth pressures. It was also observed that, when excavation depth is deep, values of the earth pressures from the rigid wall were similar to those estimated from conventional earth pressure distribution shape proposed for flexible walls.

Purpose: This study compared the accuracy of detection of incomplete vertical root fractures (VRFs) in filled and unfilled teeth on cone-beam computed tomography images with and without a metal artefact reduction (MAR) algorithm. Materials and Methods: Forty single-rooted maxillary premolars were selected and, after endodontic instrumentation, were categorized as unfilled teeth without fractures, filled teeth without fractures, unfilled teeth with fractures, or filled teeth with fractures. Each VRF was artificially created and confirmed by operative microscopy. The teeth were randomly arranged, and images were acquired with and without the MAR algorithm. The images were evaluated with OnDemand software (Cybermed Inc., Seoul, Korea). After training, 2 blinded observers each assessed the images for the presence and absence of VRFs 2 times separated by a 1-week interval. P-values<0.05 were considered to indicate significance. Results: Of the 4 protocols, unfilled teeth analysed with the MAR algorithm had the highest accuracy of incomplete VRF diagnosis (0.65), while unfilled teeth reviewed without MAR were associated with the least accurate diagnosis (0.55). With MAR, an unfilled tooth with an incomplete VRF was 4 times more likely to be identified as having an incomplete VRF than an unfilled tooth without this condition, while without MAR, an unfilled tooth with an incomplete VRF was 2.28 times more likely to be identified as having an incomplete VRF than an unfilled tooth without this condition. Conclusion: The use of the MAR algorithm increased the diagnostic accuracy in the detection of incomplete VRF on images of unfilled teeth.

Integrated analysis of OST and VST of animation Alladin is carried out in this study. The OST is classified into 4 stages (Introduction, Bridge Passage, Climax, and Ending) and their OST and VST characteristics are found for each step. Especially, high dynamic characteristics of OST elements (sound, tonality, tempo, major range, intensity, and instrumentation) and VST elements (image structure, camera shot, camera movement) are found in the Climax stage. Full Shot is highly used up to 47.9% and this helps to show that the two characters become one in the completion stage of love. This is common factor shown in the previous analysis of OST "Beauty and the Beast". It is also found that specific musical instruments are matched to specific characters in "Beauty and the Beast" and high/low position or up/down movement of the object in the screen are matched to specific musical instruments in 'Alladin'.

Panax ginseng is one of the most important herbal medicinal plants consumed as health functional food and can be fermented to achieve better efficacy. Lacticaseibacillus, one of the representative genera among lactic acid bacteria (LAB), has also been used as a probiotic material for health functional foods due to its beneficial effects on the human body. To achieve a synergistic effect by using these excellent dietary supplement ingredients together, a novel LAB strain was isolated from the root of 6-year-old ginseng. Through similarity analysis of 16S rRNAs and whole-genome sequences, the strain was confirmed as belonging to the genus Lacticaseibacillus and was named L. casei KGC1201. KGC1201 not only met all safety standards as food, but also showed excellent probiotic properties such as acid resistance, bile salt resistance, and intestinal adhesion. In particular, KGC1201 exhibited superior acid resistance through morphological observation identifying that the cell surface damage of KGC1201 was less than that of the L. casei type strain KCTC3109. Gene expression studies were conducted to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of KGC1201's acid resistance, and the expression of the glycosyltransferase gene was found to be significantly elevated under acidic conditions. Exopolysaccharides (EPSs) biosynthesized by glycosyltransferase were also increased in KGC1201 compared to KCTC3109, which may contribute to better protection of KGC1201 cells from strong acidity. Therefore, KGC1201, with its increased acid resistance through molecular mechanisms and excellent probiotic properties, can be used in health functional foods to provide greater benefit to overall human health and well-being.

개수로 흐름에서 유체특성을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 특히 홍수가 발생하거나 유속의 증가에 따라 유체의 거동은 복잡하고 예측하기 어려워진다. 이러한 복잡한 유체거동은 하천시설물 설계, 시공 및 관리에 있어서 구성재료의 보호능력에 따라 예상하지 못한 조건에서 쉽게 파손될 수 있다. 국내 하천의 경우 한계유속과 한계소류력에 의해 하천설계에 적용되고 있다. 한계 유속의 경우 간단한 수식에 의해 산정될 수 있지만 실제 하천의 보호능력을 대표하기는 힘들기 때문에 한계소류력이 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 한계소류력은 개수로 흐름에서 복잡하게 발생하는 이차류나, 난류 특성에 의해 산정하거나 예측하기는 매우 어렵다. 한계 소류력 뿐만 아니라 하천을 구성하는 재질의 조도계수 역시 균일하지 못하고 매우 예측하기 어렵다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 복잡한 양상을 나타내는 수리학적 요소에 대해 표준화된 실험수로에서 실험을 통해 평가하고, 체계화된 설계지침이 되고자 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 자연하천과 유사한 조건의 경사를 가지는 경사수로와 경사의 영향에서 자유롭게 평가를 진행하고자 무경사수로에서 실험연구를 통해 제방 재료의 안정성 평가방법을 제시하고, 재체의 안정성 평가를 위한 실험진행은 기 개발된 바닥응력을 직접측정하는 장치와 PIV시스템을 이용하여 수리특성을 측정하였다.(Park J.H. et al. 2016, Flow Measurment and instrumentation.) 하천의 설계나 평가에 적용되는 평균 소류력 개념은 복잡한 난류흐름에서 평가지표로써 대표하기 힘들기 때문에 바닥에서 발생하는 소류력을 직접 측정하고, 측정된 소류력을 검증하고자 난류유속 u', v'을 이용하여 Reynolds stress산정하여 Total shear stress를 추정하는 기법을 사용하여 검증하고자 한다.

하천수의 효율적인 관리와 균형적인 물배분을 위해 신뢰도 있는 하천수 사용량 계측자료가 필수적이다. 공업·생활용수는 유량계를 설치하여 취수량에 대한 신뢰도 있는 자료를 홍수통제소에 보고하고 있으나, 농업용수는 유량계 설치 지점이 적고, 수문조작 등의 간접적인 계측방법 허용으로 취수량 자료의 신뢰도가 낮은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 상류의 취수보를 대상으로 시험 유역 운영 및 검증을 통해 직접 계측방법의 취수량 산정 정확도를 비교하였다. 적용한 직접 계측방법은 초음파법, 전자파법, 수위-유량관계법으로 산정된 취수량 자료간의 절대오차 비교를 통해 정확도를 평가하였다. 점단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 현장측정값 대비 초음파법 5.86%, 전자파법 7.28%, 수위-유량관계법 11.84%의 오차가 발생하는 것으로 산정되어 초음파법이 가장 높은 정확도를 가지는 것으로 나타났고, 일단위, 월단위 자료 비교시 기준값으로 설정하였다. 일단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 초음파법으로 산정한 일평균 취수량 대비 전자파법 6.62%, 수위-유량관계법 8.62%의 오차가 발생하였다. 월단위 취수량 자료 비교시, 초음파법으로 산정한 월평균 취수량 대비 전자파법 5.81%, 수위-유량관계법 11.03%의 오차가 발생하였다. 산정된 취수량의 정확도는 초음파법, 전자파법, 수위-유량관계법 순이다. 고가의 첨단 계측장비를 적용하여 연속적인 유속 계측을 통해 산정한 취수량이 신뢰도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 농업용수는 사용시설별 취수량 규모 편차가 크기 때문에, 추후 중요도가 높은 사용시설과 비교적 낮은 시설간의 구분을 통한 직접 계측방법의 최적 선정 후속연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to develop security subjects that require engineering security knowledge. In particular, Engineering knowledge is required to perform security tasks such as smart factory security. However, although there are similar specialties such as mechanical security instructors, industrial security managers, and industrial security specialists(CPP), they are not based on engineering knowledge. Accordingly, Delphi analysis through expert interviews was used to derive a job analysis of security engineering. And I was able to sort out the necessary knowledge. Research Results 1-Line Security for Perimeter Security Architectural Structure, Architectural Dynamics, Including Septed, Control instrumentation including smart factory security for building security with 2-Line security, With 3-Line security, it was divided into ergonomics and mechanical expenses for indoor security. As a result of the survey, by age, those in their 30s showed the highest response with 75.8%, and by job, industrial security officers with 76.4%. This could be seen as a desire for a environmental security engineering certificate by practitioners in the industrial security field.

X-ray diffraction method has been widely used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of a mixture of materials since every crystalline material gives a unique X-ray diffraction pattern independently of others, with the intensity of each pattern proportional to that material's concentration in a mixture. For determination of mixing ratios, extracting source spectra correctly is important and crucial. Based on the source spectra extracted, a regression model with non-negativity constraint is applied for determining mixing ratios. In some mixtures, however, X-ray diffraction spectrum has sharp and narrow peaks, which may result in partial negative source spectrum from independent component analysis. We propose several procedures of extracting non-negative source spectra and determining mixing ratios. The proposed method is validated with experimental data on powder mixtures.

The records of field instrumentation, which have been performed on the pneumatic caisson used for substructure of the Youngjong Grand Bridge, were analyzed to investigate the ground contact pressure under rigid foundation of large pneumatic caisson embedded in various ground layers. During sinking the pneumatic caisson, the resisting force was mobilized against sinking the caisson at the contact area between bottom of the caisson and the ground. The resisting force could be measured by the reaction force gauges instrumented under the edge of bottom of the pneumatic caisson. And the ground contact pressure could be estimated by use of the measuring records of the resisting force. The ground contact pressure under rigid foundation of large pneumatic caisson shows concave distribution on bedrock, while convex distribution was shown in marine deposit soil layer as well as weathered rock layer. And, the ground contact pressure in various ground layers was distributed axis-symmetrically. The distribution shape of the ground contact pressure determined by the maximum pressure acting on foundation of the large pneumatic caisson showed good coincidence with the distribution shape proposed for rigid foundation by Kgler(1936) and Fang(1991).

To investigate the stabilizing effect of anchors against sliding, a series of the model test was carried out. An apparatus was developed to perform the model test of the slope reinforced by anchors. An instrumentation system has been applied on the anchors to measure the axial force during slope failure. The maximum stabilizing effect is revealed about 0.5% of the area ratio. The initial loss of anchor force is represented about 24% of initial jacking force. This result is equaled to the proposed range(10%~25%) of the field test result(Yun, 1997). The effective jacking force corresponds to 70% of the initial jacking force. Therefore, the initial jacking force should be determined more than 30% of the design jacking force. As the initial jacking force becomes increase, the reinforced slope is transferred to brittle failure behavior due to increasing the density of slope soils.
