Purpose: In the case of repair for far distal parts of FDP (Flexor digitorum profundus) division, the method of either pull-out suture or fixation of tendon to the distal phalanx is preferred. In this paper, the results of a modified loop suture technique used for the complete division of FDP from both zone 1a and distal parts of zone 1b in Moiemen classification are presented. Methods: From July 2006 to July 2009, the modified loop suture technique was used for the 10 cases of FDP in complete division from zone 1a and distal parts of zone 1b, especially where insertion sites were less than 1 cm apart from a tendon of a stump. In a suture technique, a loop is applied to each distal and proximal parts of tendon respectively. Core suture of 2-strand and epitendinous suture are done with PDS 4-0. Out of 10 patients, the study was done on 6 patients who were available for the followup. The average age of the patients was 49.1 years (in the range from 26 to 67). 5 males and 1 female patients were involved in this study. There were 3 cases with zone 1a and distal parts of zone 1b. The average distance to the distal tendon end was 0.6 cm. There were 5 cases underwent microsurgical repair where both artery and nerve divided. One case of only tendon displacement was presented. The dorsal protective splint was kept for 5 weeks on average. The results of the following tests were measured: active & passive range of motion, grip strength test, key pinch and pulp pinch test. Results: The follow-up period on average was 11 months, in the range from 2 to 20 months. There was no case of re-rupture, but tenolysis was performed in 1 cases. In all 6 cases, the average active range of motion of distal interphalangeal joint was 50.8 degree. The grip strength (ipsilateral/contralateral) was measured as 88.7% and the pulp pinch test was 79.2% as those of contralateral side. Flexion contracture was presented in 2 cases (15 degree on average) and there was no quadrigia effect found. Conclusion: Despite short length of tendon from the insertion site in FDS rupture in zone 1a and distal parts of zone 1b, sufficient functional recovery could be expected with the tendon to tendon repair using the modified loop suture technique.

In this study, a series of numerical analysis has been accomplished on the thermal performance and sectional efficiency of a closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger (U-loop) in a geothermal heat pump system (GHP) considering the circulating fluid, pipe, grout and soil formation. A finite element analysis program, ABAQUS, was employed to evaluate the temperature distribution on the cross section of the U-loop system involving HDPE pipe/grout/formation and to compare sectional efficiency between the conventional U-loop and a new latticed HDPE pipe system. Especially, the latticed pipe is equipped with a thermal insulation zone in order to reduce thermal interference between the inflow pipe and the outflow pipe. Also, a thermal stress analysis was performed with the aid of ABAQUS. 3-D finite volume analysis program, FLUENT, was adapted to analyze a coupled system between fluid circulation in the pipe and heat transfer and simulate an operating process of the closed-loop vertical ground heat exchanger. In this analysis, the effect of the thermal properties of grout, rate of circulation pump, distance between the inflow pipe and the outflow pipe, and the effectiveness of the latticed HDPE pipe system are taken into account.

도로교 프리캐스트 바닥판의 현장 조인트로써 특수한 구조의 클램프를 이용하여 새로운 형식의 조인트를 개발하였다. 이 클램프 조인트에 의한 방법은 클램프를 이용하여 주철근을 루프 조인트에 연결하는 방법이다. 현재까지 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 루프 조인트와 비교하여 시공성 경제성이 우수하고 클램프의 인터록킹에 의하여 휨모멘트 전단내력에 효과를 나타내었다. 본 논문은 휨 강성 및 전단내력의 실험을 통하여 조인트의 파괴 메커니즘과 다양한 정적 거동의 결과를 규명하고자 일련의 실험을 수행하였다. 이러한 실험 연구의 결과로부터 루프조인트와 동등한 성능을 갖고 있다는 결론을 얻었다.

산소전달률은 음폐수, 축산폐수 그리고 매립지 침출수와 같은 고농도 폐수처리를 호기성 공정으로 처리할 시 그 성과를 결정하는 아주 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는, Jet Loop Reactor (JLR)를 이용하여 공기유량과 동력량을 운전조건의 변수로 두고 미생물의 농도에 따른 산소소비율(Oxygen uptake rate, OUR)과 물질전달계수(Volumetric mass transfer coefficient, $K_L{\cdot}a$)를 측정하였으며, 산출된 $K_L{\cdot}a$ 값의 결과를 가지고 통계학적인 분석을 통하여 비선형 회귀 모형을 제안하여 보았다. 연구 결과, 미생물 농도를 높게 유지시켜야 하는 고농도 폐수를 적용할 경우에는, 동력량과 공기량은 산소전달률의 중요한 인자이며, 마지막으로 최종 비선형 회귀모형을 동력량과, 공기량 그리고 점성계수의 함수로 나타내보았다.

In this study, seam strength, seam elongation and seam efficiency of polyurethane coated fabrics were examined under various sewing conditions using three kinds of fabrics, four kinds of sewing threads and three kinds of stitch lengths. And the sewability of polyurethane coated fabrics were evaluated by FAST system. The results were as follows: 1. Seam strength decreased with the increase of stitch length. The loop strength of sewing thread and the type of base fabric than the type of coated surface had an effect on seam strength. 2. Seam elongation also decreased with the increase of stitch length and was affected by the type of base fabric. The tensile elongation of polyurethans coated fabric had an effect on seam elongation. 3. Sean efficiency also was related to stitch length, the type of base fabric, and seam strength. The suitable seam efficiency was within 50%∼65% in which polyurethane coated fabric and sewing thread broke at the same time. Therefore PS thin and PPC thin sewing threads and 3mm stitch length were suitable to polyurethane coated fabrics. 4. The relaxation shrinkage(RS) of polyurethane coated fabric was smaller than the smallest value of control chart in FAST system. And the extensibility(E) and the shear rigidity(G) were larger than the largest value.

In high rise buildings that utilize precast large panel system for construction, the shear wall provides strength and stiffness during earthquakes. The performance of a wall panel system depends mainly on the type of connection used to transfer the forces from one wall element to another wall element. This paper presents an experimental investigation on different types of construction detailing of the precast wall to wall vertical connections under reverse cyclic loading. One of the commonly used connections in India to connect wall to wall panel is the loop bar connection. Hence for this study, three types of wet connections and one type of dry connection namely: Staggered loop bar connection, Equally spaced loop bar connection, U-Hook connection, and Channel connection respectively were used to connect the precast walls. One third scale model of the wall was used for this study. The main objective of the experimental work is to evaluate the performance of the wall to wall connections in terms of hysteretic behaviour, ultimate load carrying capacity, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, ductility, viscous damping ratio, and crack pattern. All the connections exhibited similar load carrying capacity. The U-Hook connection exhibited higher ductility and energy dissipation when compared to the other three connections.

To explore protein folding mechanism, we simulated a folding pathway in a simplified 3×3×3 cubic lattice. In the lattice folding Monte Carlo simulations, each of the 28 possible native packing pairs that exist in the native conformation was used as a conformational restraint. The native packing restraints in the lattice model could be considered as a disulfide linkage restraint in a real protein. The results suggest that proteins denatured with a small disulfide loop can, but not always, fold faster than proteins without any disulfide linkage and than proteins with a larger disulfide loop. The results also suggest that there is a rough correlation between loop size of the native packing restraint and folding time. That is, the order of native residue-residue packing interaction in protein folding is likely dependent on the residue-residue distance in primary sequence. The strength of monomer-monomer pairwise interaction is not important in the determination of the packing order in lattice folding. From the folding simulations of five strong folding lattice sequences, it was also found that the context encoded in the primary sequence, which we do not yet clearly understand, plays more crucial role in the determination of detailed folding kinetics. Our restrained lattice model approach would provide a useful strategy to the future protein folding experiments by suggesting a protein engineering for the fast or slow folding research.

본 연구에서는 수도권을 중심으로 구축 운영 중인 UTIS를 활용하여 버스의 서비스 개선 및 운행 효율성을 증진함과 동시에 일반 차량의 지체를 최소화하기 위한 버스 수요 기반의 TSP 제어 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 이를 위해 버스의 수요를 기반으로 버스 우선신호의 우선권 강도를 조정하는 알고리즘을 제안하였으며, 주도로의 버스 우선권 제공으로 인한 부도로의 지체 증가를 막기 위해 부도로의 포화도에 따른 우선권 강도를 조정하는 보상 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 또한 연구 결과를 CORSIM RTE를 활용할 HILS 기반의 평가시스템을 통해 효과 분석하여 현장의 적용 가능성을 검증하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과 버스의 통행시간은 10% 정도 개선 효과가 있었으나, 이 경우 전체차량의 제어지체에는 큰 영향을 받지 않음을 확인하였다. 이러한 연구 결과는 국내의 대중교통 활성화 정책에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.
