Objectives: Lifting heavy weights involves the Valsalva manoeuvre, which leads to intraocular pressure spikes. We used data from a case-control study to further investigate the hypothesis that occupational lifting is a risk factor for retinal detachment. Methods: The study population included 48 cases (patients operated for retinal detachment) and 84 controls (outpatients attending an eye clinic). The odds ratios (OR) of idiopathic retinal detachment were estimated with a logistic regression model (adjusted for age, sex and body mass index). Three indexes were used to examine exposure to lifting; 1) maximum load lifted, 2) average weekly lifting, 3) lifelong cumulative lifting. Results: For all indexes, the most exposed subjects showed an increased risk of retinal detachment compared with the unexposed (index 1: OR 3.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-10.48; index 2: OR 3.24, 95% CI 1.32-7.97; index 3: OR 2.23, 95% CI 1.27-8.74) and dose-response relationships were apparent. Conclusion: These results reinforce the hypothesis that heavy occupational lifting may be a relevant risk factor for retinal detachment.

안정적인 전력 공급은 전력 인프라의 유지 보수 및 작동에 매우 중요하며, 이를 위해 정확한 전력 사용량 예측이 요구된다. 대학 캠퍼스는 전력 사용량이 많은 곳이며, 시간과 환경에 따른 전력 사용량 변화폭이 다양하다. 이러한 이유로, 전력계통의 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 전력 사용량을 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 모델이 요구된다. 기존의 시계열 예측 기법은 학습 시점과 예측 시점 간의 차이가 클수록 예측 구간이 넓어짐으로 예측 성능이 크게 떨어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문은 이를 보완하려는 방안으로, 먼저 의사결정나무를 이용해 날짜, 요일, 공휴일 여부, 학기 등을 고려하여 시계열 형태가 유사한 전력 데이터를 분류한다. 다음으로 분류된 데이터 셋에 각각의 자기회귀누적이동평균모형을 구성하여, 예측 시점에서 시계열 교차검증을 적용해 대학 캠퍼스의 일간 전력 사용량 예측 기법을 제안한다. 예측의 정확성을 평가하기 위해, 성능 평가 지표를 이용하여 제안한 기법의 타당성을 검증하였다.

연약지반에서 성토나 교대등에 의한 편재하중이 작용하게 되면 지반중에는 침하, 측방변위, 융기 및 전단파괴 등의 큰 소성적인 전단변형이 발생하여 지반 및 구조물에 큰 피해를 주는 것을 많이 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 연약지반에서 편재하중에 의한 지반의 제반변형에 대한 거동을 연구하기 위하여 기존의 이론적인 배경을 조사하고 모형실험을 통한 실측치를 이용하여 서로 비교분석하여 보았다. 모형실험은 먼저 모형재하장치를 제작하고 토조안에 연약한 흙시료를 채워 비배수상태에서 일정한 시간간격으로 하중단계를 증가시켜 가면서 변형의 상태를 관측하였다. 실험결과를 토대로 지반특성과 변위량의 관계, 한계하중 및 극한지지력, 지반의 소성유동의 상태 및 측방 유동압의 검토 등을 상세하게 분석하여 기존의 이론과 비교해 봄으로써 실제 연약지반상에서의 측방변형에 대한 원인을 규명함으로써 그로 인한 피해를 사전에 방지하고자 한다.

This study examines the potential restoration of abandoned channels of the Mangyeong River in South Korea. To analyze the morphological changes and equilibrium conditions, a flow duration analysis was performed to obtain the discharge of 255 m3/s with a recurrence interval of 1.5 year. It is a gravel-bed stream with a median bed diameter of 36 mm. The reach-averaged results using HEC-RAS showed that the top width is 244 m, the mean flow depth is 1.11 m, the width/depth ratio is very high at 277, the channel velocity is 1.18 m/s, and the Froude number is also high at 0.42. The hydraulic parameters vary in the vicinity of the three sills which control the bed elevation. The total sediment load is 6,500 tons per day and the equivalent sediment concentration is 240 mg/l. The Engelund-Hansen method was closer to the field measurements than any other method. The bed material coarser than 33 mm will not move. The methods of Julien-Wargadalam and Lacey gave an equilibrium channel width of 83 m and 77 m respectively, which demonstrates that the Mangyeong River is currently very wide and shallow. The planform geometry for the Mangyeong River is definitely straight with a sinuosity as low as 1.03. The thalweg and mean bed elevation profiles were analyzed using field measurements in 1976, 1993 and 2009. The measured profiles indicated that the channel has degraded about 2 m since 1976. The coarse gravel material and large width-depth ratio increase the stability of the bed material in this reach.

복합재료를 사용한 비등방성 원통형 쉘 구조형식은 단일소재의 재료역학적인 단점을 극복할 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 1차전단변형효과가 고려된 비등방성 원통형 쉘을 해석하는 것이다. 전단변형효과가 고려된 원통형 쉘의 거동은 기존의 고전적인 해와 길이-두께비에 따라 상당한 거동의 차이를 보이므로 이러한 전단변형효과의 고찰은 매우 중요하다고 사료된다. 또한 본 연구는 유한요소법에 근간한 상용 공학프로그램인 ANSYS와 본 연구의 프로그램결과를 비교, 검증하였으며, 비등방성 원통형 쉘의 중심각의 변화, 화이버의 보강각도 변화, 탄성계수비의 변화 등에 따른 쉘의 처짐 및 단면력을 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 사용한 유한차분법에 의한 해는 기존의 해석적인 방법으로는 해석하기 어려운 보다 다양하고 복잡한 조건을 갖는 문제에 대하여 보다 정확한 해를 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제시한 유한차분법을 이용한 다양한 비등방성 원통형 쉘의 해석결과는 복합 신소재를 사용하는 쉘 구조체의 실용화에 앞서 다양한 기준을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

EPON 가입자 망은 매체를 공유하고, EPON 가입자의 5트래픽을 통합하여 전송하기 때문에 EPON 대역 할당에 대한 제어 방식이 중요하게 다루어지고 있으며, TDMA에 기반한 DBA 방식은 표준에 포함하지 않아서 다양한 알고리즘이 적용될 수 있다. 본 논문은 최선형 서비스와 지연 우선순위 큐 기반으로 높은 우선순위의 트래픽에 대하여 지연 QoS를 보장하는 DBA 방식에 관한 것으로, 제안된 DBA 방식은 전체 트래픽에 대하여 가상 스케줄링 방식을 사용하고 서비스 클래스의 우선순위에 따라 차례로 각 클래스의 트래픽에 적용하는 방식이며, 표준 규격에 명시된 MAC 메시지를 사용하며 DBA 기능 구성이 간단하면서도 각 클래스에 맞게 QoS를 보장할 수 있다. 모사시험을 통하여 폴링시간간격, 상향 및 하향 트래픽 부하 등에 따른 서비스 클래스 별 트래픽의 지연시간으로 성능을 평가하였으며, 가입자의 상향 트래픽 발생에 따른 실제 전달된 통합 트래픽의 양 등을 분석하였다. 제안된 방식과 같이 간단한 우선순위 적용으로도 지연 우선 순위가 높은 트래픽에 대하여 QoS 보장이 충분히 수행되는 것을 확인하였다.

Much of northern Asia is lacking in high-resolution palaeoclimatic data coverage. This vast region thus represents a sizeable gap in data sets used to reconstruct hemispheric-scale temperature trends for the past millennium. To improve coverage, we present a regional-scale composite of four tree-ring width records of Siberian pine and Siberian larch from temperature-sensitive alpine timber-line sites in Mongolia. The chronologies load closely in principal components analysis (PCA) with the first eigenvector accounting for over 53% of the variance from ad 1450 to 1998. The 20-year interval from 1974 to 1993 is the highest such growth period in this composite record, and 17 of the 20 highest growth years have occurred since 1946. Thus these trees, unlike those recently described at some northern sites, do not appear to have lost their temperature sensitivity, and suggest that recent decades have been some of the warmest in the past 500 years for this region. There are, however, comparable periods of inferred, local warmth for individual sites, e.g., in 1520-1580 and 1760-1790. The percent common variance between chronologies has increased through time and is highest (66.1%) in the present century. Although there are obvious differences among the individual chronologies, this result suggests a coherent signal which we consider to be related to temperature. The PCA scores show trends which strongly resemble those seen in recent temperature reconstructions for the Northern Hemisphere, very few of which included representation from Eurasia east of the Ural Mountains. The Mongolia series therefore provides independent corroboration for these reconstructions and their indications of unusual wanning during the twentieth century.

In case of $K_{Imax}$ < $K_{Iscc}$, the corrosion fatigue of high strength steel in 0.1N $H_{2}$S $O_{4}$ solution and 3.5% salt water is as follows. 1. The fatigue life shortens in order of 3.5% salt water and 0.1N $H_{2}$S $o_{4}$ solution. 2. The fatigue crack growth rate in air is obtained as the following equation. (dc/dN)$_{atr}$=7.23*10$^{-6}$ (.DELTA. K)$^{2.23}$ 3. The corrosion fatigue crack growth rate in environment is divided into three regions, that is, First Region, Second Region and Third Region from the small cyclic stress intensity. 4. The formation rate of the active surface on metal is slower than the mechano-chemical reaction rate in First Region. The crack growth rate depends on time and the cyclic stress intensity and is expressed as the following equation. (dc/dN)$_{I}$=C(/DELTA. K)$^{\delta}$ 5. The formation rate of the active surface is faster than the mechano-chemical reaction rate in Second Region and the synergistic effect by stress and corrosion becomes slow. In case the fatigue load is large, we have the critical crack growth rate which is not related to the cyclic stress intensity. 6. The corrosion crack growth rate by the mechano-chemical reaction is the same in $H_{2}$S $O_{4}$ solution and salt water, so Hydrogen accelerates the crack growth. 7. The environment has no effect on the corrosion fatigue crack growth rate in Third Region. 8. In First Region and Second Region, dimple is observed on the fatigue fracture surface in 0.1N $H_{2}$S $O_{4}$ solution. 9. The striation is observed in any environment as in air in Third Region and its interval approximately coincide with the crack growth rate.ate.e.e.

Purpose: Performance recovered from SCR through cleaning was studied, measuring differential pressure, NOx reduction efficiency, fuel consumption and engine power before and after cleaning. Ideal cleaning intervals are proposed based on SCR mileage and differential pressure. SCR endurance and reliability improvements through cleaning were studied through physicochemical testing of SCR durability at 43,000km 50,000km, and 110,000km respectively. Methods: Engine power, fuel consumption and exhaust gas were measured using engine full load tests and ND-13 MODE by installing the SCR before cleaned at total engine mileages of 400,000 km, 300,000km and 200,000km. The same tests were performed after cleaning the SCR catalytic converter. Endurance and reliability of the SCR cleaning was studied through the same test by SCR catalyst after each 43,000km 50,000km, 110,000km, durability test on SCR cleaning. Conclusion: We confirmed the low-performance of the SCR due to clogging is restored by SCR cleaning technology. The NOx reduction efficiency was restored to 82%, 86% and 88% from 69%, 72% and 79%. As well as the NOx reduction efficiency, it was confirmed that the engine power, fuel consumption and back pressure was restored to fresh SCR levels. As a result of the durability and reliability achieved through SCR cleaning, we confined the appearance and reduction efficiency through visual inspection and ND-13 MODE are similar to new SCR catalysts. Finally, it was judged that there was no change in performance even when driving the SCR without cleaning throughout the 100,000 km mileage warranty.

The present study revealed comparison the pressure distribution on the surfaces of regular cross plan shaped building with angular cross plan shaped building which is being transformed from basic cross plan shaped building through the variation of internal angles between limbs by $15^{\circ}$ for various wind incidence angle from $0^{\circ}$ to $180^{\circ}$ at an interval of $30^{\circ}$. In order to maintain the area same the limbs sizes are slightly increased accordingly. Numerical analysis has been carried out to generate similar nature of flow condition as per IS: 875 (Part -III):1987 (a mean wind velocity of 10 m/s) by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with help of ANSYS CFX ($k-{\varepsilon}$ model). The variation of mean pressure coefficients, pressure distribution over the surface, flow pattern and force coefficient are evaluated for each cases and represented graphically to understand extent of nonconformities due to such angular modifications in plan. Finally regular cross shaped building results are compared with wind tunnel results obtained from similar '+' shaped building study with similar flow condition. Reduction in along wind force coefficients for angular crossed shaped building, observed for various skew angles leads to develop lesser along wind force on building compared to regular crossed shaped building and square plan shaped building. Interference effect within the internal faces are observed in particular faces of building for both cases, considerably. Significant deviation is noticed in wind induced responses for angular cross building compared to regular cross shaped building for different direction wind flow.
