  • 전력 케이블의 고장에 대한 위치를 검출하기 위한 다양한 반사파 계측법들이 연구되고 있다. 하지만 대부분 관련 연구들이 시뮬레이션과 실험실에서의 성능 검증이 이루어지고 있고, 실제 현장과 비슷한 조건에서의 연구는 실증 시험장의 부재로 인해 이루어지지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 케이블 고장 검출 장치의 표준화된 성능 시험과, 장비 운영 교육을 위한 실증 시험장을 설계 및 구축하였다. 구축된 실증시험장에서는 100m, 200m 거리에서 단선, 합선, 반단선, 접촉 불량 고장을 발생시켰고 최대 거리 측정 시험을 위해 1km 케이블을 설치하였다. 이러한 실증시험장은 향후 케이블 고장 검출 기술의 개발과 표준화, 그리고 장비 성능 검증 및 인증 시험 등을 위해 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 일반적으로 전자파 환경시험은 외부 전자기 환경의 영향을 배제하기 위하여 전자파 차폐룸에서 시험을 수행하지만, 시험체의 크기가 너무 크거나, 배기가스를 방출하는 등의 제약이 있을 경우 전자파 차폐룸에서 시험이 어려울 수 있으며, 야외 시험장을 이용할 수 밖에 없다. 야외 시험장은 측정 결과에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 전파 반사체, 전파 잡음 등이 시험장 내에 존재하지 않는 것이 이상적이지만 IT, 무선 통신 산업이 발달됨에 따라 기존의 야외 시험장은 수많은 생활전자파노이즈에 오염되어 있는 실정이다. 고흥 항공센터의 경우 도심과 떨어져 있고, 주변이 농경지로 둘러싸여 있어 전자파환경이 청정할 것으로 예상되며, 따라서 대형시험체의 전계강도를 측정할 수 있는 야외 시험장으로 활용이 가능할 수 있다. 이를 확인하기 위해 고흥 항공센터의 전자파환경을 측정하였으며, 30 MHz 이상의 주파수대역에서는 라디오, TV, 핸드폰 등 소스가 분명한 주파수를 제외하고는 대체적으로 깨끗한 결과를 보였으며 야외 시험장으로 좋은 역할을 할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • The ethanolic extract of Leucas aspera root was studied for its effect on the central nervous system (CNS) using pentobarbitone induced sleeping time test, the open field test and the hole cross test in Swiss albino mice. The present investigation revealed that the extract at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg, significantly prolonged the pentobarbitone induced sleeping time in mice though the onset of sleep was delayed as compared to control. In open field test the depressing effect was prominent from the second observation period (30 min) and persisted throughout the entire experimental period (240 min). In the hole cross test, the depressing effect was observed significant from the third observation period (60 min) and persisted up to the seventh observation period (240 min) except at fourth observation (90 min) for 250 mg dose group and depressing effect was significant from second observation (30 min) up to seventh observation period (240 min) for 500 mg dose group. These results support the finding that Leucas aspera root may contain biologically active constituent(s) having CNS activity.

  • The methanol extract of Diospyros peregrina bark was studied for its effect on the central nervous system (CNS) using the pentobarbitone induced sleeping time test, the open field test and the hole cross test in Swiss albino mice. The present investigation revealed that the extract, at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg, significantly prolonged the pentobarbitone induced sleeping time in mice though the onset of sleep was delayed as compared to the control. In open field test, the depressing effect was prominent from the second observation period (30 min) and persisted throughout the entire experimental period (240 min). In the hole cross test, the depressing effect was observed from the second observation period (30 min) and persisted up to fifth observation period (120 min) for 250 mg dose group and up to sixth observation period (180 min) for 500 mg dose group. These results support the finding that D. peregrina bark extract at the above doses has CNS depressing effects and indicate that D. peregrina bark may contain biologically active constituent(s) having CNS depressant activity.

  • Objective: In this study, the anti-stress effects of extract of Hydrangeae Dulcis Folium (EHDF) or ethalonic extract of Opuntiaficus-indica (EOF) of natural extracts from Jeju Island were investigated. Methods: We performed measurement of whole-body cortisol level and behavioral experiments including the novel tank test (NTT) or the open field test (OFT) to assess stress responses in zebrafish. To induce physical stress, we used the net handling stress (NHS). Fish were treated with EOF or EHDF for 6 min before they were exposed to stress. And then, we sacrificed fish for collecting body fluid from whole-body or conducted behavioural tests, including novel tank test and open field test, were evaluated to observe anxiety-like behaviours and locomotion. We used the cortisol enzyme-linked immunoassay kit to measure the amount of cortisol in each zebrafish sample. Results: The results indicate that increased anxiety-like behaviours in novel tank test and open field test under stress were prevented by treatment with both EOF and EHDF (P < 0.05). Moreover, compared with the unstressed group, which was not treated with NHS, the whole-body cortisol level was significantly increased by treatment with NHS. Compared with the NHS-treated stressed control group, pre-treatment with each EHDF and EOF for 6 min significantly prevented the NHS-increased whole-body cortisol level (P < 0.05). Conclusions: In conclusion these results suggest that both EOF and EHDF pretreatment may prevent stress responses and that its mechanism of action may be related to its positive effects on cortisol release.

  • We performed field test and analyzed results of field test in variable HFC(Hybrid Fiber Coaxial) network environments. And we investigated whether the test results is satisfied in DOCSIS(Data-over-Cable Service Interface Specification) 2.0 and OpenCable standard. Also, we propose HFC improvement problem for HFC Network quality as BcN(Broadband convergence Network) access network. We tested three sample areas. The sample areas represent various type of SO(System Operator) in korea. The field test was to measure signal level about digital channels. In results of multiple digital channels, in case of "Equalizer ON", we could be obtained very good test results. The results of field test were shown in satisfying recommended values in DOCSIS 2.0 and OpenCable. So, we could have confidence through field test that BcN will be possible to be adapted to environment of korea HFC network.

  • Open-cross-section composite beam (OCB) tends to suffer vortex-induced vibration (VIV) due to its bluff aerodynamic shape. A cable-stayed bridge equipped with typical OCB is taken as an example in this paper to conduct sectional model wind tunnel test. Vortex-induced vibration is observed and maximum vibration amplitudes are obtained. CFD approach is employed to calculate the flow field around original cross sections in service stage and construction stage, as well as sections added with three different countermeasures: splitters, slabs and wind fairings. Results show that flow separate on the upstream edge and cause vortex shedding on original section. Splitters can only smooth the flow field on the upper surface, while slabs cannot smooth flow field on the upper or lower surface too much. Thus, splitters or slabs cannot serve as valid aerodynamic means. Wind tunnel test results show that VIV can only be mitigated when wind fairings are mounted, by which the flow field above and below the bridge deck are accelerated simultaneously.

  • Investigations on simulated near-surface atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) in an open-jet facility are carried out by conducting experimental tests on small-scale models of low-rise buildings. The objectives of the current study are: (1) to determine the optimal location of test buildings from the exit of the open-jet facility, and (2) to investigate the scale effect on the aerodynamic pressure characteristics. Based on the results, the newly built open-jet facility is well capable of producing mean wind speed and turbulence profiles representing open-terrain conditions. The results show that the proximity of the test model to the open-jet governs the length of the separation bubble as well as the peak roof pressures. However, test models placed at a horizontal distance of 2.5H (H is height of the wind field) from the exit of the open-jet, with a width that is half the width of the wind field and a length of 1H, have consistent mean and peak pressure coefficients when compared with available results from wind tunnel testing. In addition, testing models with as large as 16% blockage ratio is feasible within the open-jet facility. This reveals the importance of open-jet facilities as a robust tool to alleviate the scale restrictions involved in physical investigations of flow pattern around civil engineering structures. The results and findings of this study are useful for putting forward recommendations and guidelines for testing protocols at open-jet facilities, eventually helping the progress of enhanced standard provisions on the design of low-rise buildings for wind.
