In this study, 3-D nozzle shape and the shape of nozzle at exit plane were adopted as design parameter of 3-D supersonic nozzle and numerical analyses for these parameters have been performed to investigate the flow and performance characteristics for design parameters of the turbine. Firstly, comparing results for nozzle shape, rectangular nozzle had less total pressure loss occurred in axial gap and more power by 1.5% than circular nozzle did. Next, comparing the results for the shape of nozzle at exit plane, it is found that the performance of partial admission turbine was largely depended upon the gap between nozzle wall at exit plane and the hub / tip of rotor blade and the length between nozzles.

In this study, the distribution of surface pressure was measured in a steady state on a turbine blade which was moved the injected region and receded the stagnation region using a linear cascade apparatus. Axial-type blades were used and the blade chord was 200mm. The rectangular nozzle was applied and its size was $200mm{\times}200mm$. The experiment was done at $3{\times}10^5$ of Reynolds number based on the chord. The surface pressures on the blade were measured at three different nozzle angles of $58^{\circ}$, $65^{\circ}$ and $72^{\circ}$ for off-design performance test. In addition, three different solidities of 1.25, 1.38 and 1.67 were applied. From the results, the low solidity caused the low pressure on the blade suction surface at entering region and the reverse rotating force was generated at the low nozzle angle. The positive incidence also made the pressure lower on the suction surface at entering region.

A 65-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of painful swelling of right sternocostoclavicular area. In the past history, he had no specific disease including trauma. After admission, chest CT and neck CT showed right empyema and right cervical abscess. Empyemectomy was performed through open thoracotomy and fistulous tract was detected on right parietal pleura and right sternocostoclavicular area. Osto-myelitis was also detected on right sternocostoclavicular area and removal of right cervical abscess, partial resection of proximal clavicle, resection of chondral portion of 1st rib, and partial resection of manubrium were performed. Empyema that extends from sternocostoclavicular osteomyelits, as in this case, is rare. Herein we report a case of loculated empyema with sternocostoclavicular osteomyelitis and neck abscess.

Efficient use of limited blood products is becoming very important in terms of socioeconomic status and patient recovery. To predict the appropriateness of patient-specific transfusions for the intensive care unit (ICU) patients who require real-time monitoring, we evaluated a model to predict the possibility of transfusion dynamically by using the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III), an ICU admission record at Harvard Medical School. In this study, we developed an explainable machine learning to predict the possibility of red blood cell transfusion for major medical diseases in the ICU. Target disease groups that received packed red blood cell transfusions at high frequency were selected and 16,222 patients were finally extracted. The prediction model achieved an area under the ROC curve of 0.9070 and an F1-score of 0.8166 (LightGBM). To explain the performance of the machine learning model, feature importance analysis and a partial dependence plot were used. The results of our study can be used as basic data for recommendations related to the adequacy of blood transfusions and are expected to ultimately contribute to the recovery of patients and prevention of excessive consumption of blood products.

Posttranplantations lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a common and life-threatening complication for soid organ transplantation associated with the use of chronic immunosuppression and Epstein-Barr virus. There is no standardized treatment algorithm, but numerous management strategies are vaiable. Partial splenic embolization (PSE) had been demonstrated to be an effetive alternatie to splenectomy for patients hypersplenism and portal hypertension. PSE has the advantages of non-invasive intervention and resolution of the complications of hypersplenism. We report the effect of the PSE in a 6-year old male liver transplantation recepient with PTLD who has undergone persistent hypersplenism post-transplant. We reduced immunosuppression agent, started antiviral agent. We started with interferon and IV globulin one month after admission. Hepatosplenomegaly and cervical lymphadenopathy were improved. But fever was not subside. We selectively embolized the lower pole of the spleen to achieve a 50~60% reduction in flow as determined by angiography. After embolization, fever subside and peripheral blood findings were improved. Follow up abdominal CT revealed reduced volume of spleen due to ischemic change and there was no multiple enlarged mesenteric lymphnode compared to preembolization state. We thick that PSE is a safe an effetive treatment modality of PTLD with persistent hypersplenism in patients twho failed to medical treatment.

ATM 망은 기존 망 서비스를 수용하여야 하며 특히 회선 대행 서비스의 제공은 필수적이다. 회선 대행 서비스는 일정 비트율의 실시간성 서비스이며 손실에 민감한 특성을 갖기 때문에 엄격한 Qos 의 보장을 요구한다. 회선 대행 서비스는 64Kbps 단위의 Time Slot 의 수(N)에 따라 사용 대역폭이 결적되며 ATM 망과 연동을 위해서는 ATM 트래픽 파라메터로 변환되어야 한다. 회선 대행 서비스의 경우 CAS(Channel Associated Signaling)를 사용하는 경우와 Partial Cell Fill을 허용하는 경우에 따라 ATM Cell Rate를 다르게 적용하여야 한다. 이 논문은 ATM 망이 회선 대행 연결을 ATM의 CBR 서비스 카테고리로 Mapping 하기 위한 트래픽 파라메터 산출 방법을 제시한다. 또한 다수의 회선 대행 링크가 하나의 ATM 링크로 다중화되는 경우 ATM 인터페이스의 연결 수락 제어 절차를 제안한다.

A turbo-expander is developed for the regeneration in the expansion process. The turbo-expander operates in the partial admission and supersonic flow, and an axial-type single stage turbine is applied to the turbo-expander. Its outer diameter is 82mm and the operating gas is R134a. A 15kW reciprocating compressor is applied in this experiment and the turbo-expander is installed in the expansion process instead of the commonly using expansion valve. Two supersonic nozzles are applied for the expansion process. The high speed of R 134a after passing the supersonic nozzles gives the impulse force to the turbo-expander and some powers are generated on this process. A generator is installed at the end of the turbo-expander shaft. The generating output power from the turbo-expander is controlled by the power controller. Pressures and temperatures are measured on the lines for the performance investigation. More than 600W/(kg/sec) are generated in this experiment.

In this paper, numerical results for 3-D supersonic turbine flow have been firstly compared with the experimental results to verify results computed by $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$. It was found that $Fine^{TM}/Turbo$ can accurately predict flow characteristics within supersonic turbine. Next, an grid system for 3D turbine flow was optimized selected through grid independency test. Finally, the effect of axial gap between rotor and nozzle and chamfer angle of blade edge on the flow characteristics within 3-D supersonic turbine was analyzed with Frozen Rotor method.

A turbopump turbine consists of rotational part including a rotor and stationary part including nozzles and exit guide vanes, of which shape and relative position affect turbine performance owing to supersonic flows with prevailing unsteadiness. In this study, numerical 3-D flow calculations of the turbine with the different number of exit guide vanes and different relative position of each component are conducted and the effect of flow passage variations on turbine performance is analyzed.

1.6 MW class supersonic partial admission impulse turbine has been designed and tested in Korea Aerospace Research Institute for the liquid rocket engine application. The test has been performed using a high pressure air source facility in KARI. For the turbine power absorption, a hydraulic dynamometer has been used. Appropriate similarity relations are used for the determination of test condition. Various settings of turbine pressure ratio and rotational speed are tested to investigate global turbine characteristics. From measured data, parameters related to the turbine design are derived and validated.
