In this letter, a parametric analysis of the Fresnel-field antenna measurement method is performed for a square aperture. As a result, the optimum number of Fresnel fields for one far-field point is guided as $M_{opt}=N_{opt}=D^2/{\lambda}R+5$, where D is the antenna diameter, ${\lambda}$ is the wavelength, and R is the distance between the source antenna and the antenna under test. For the aperture size 5 ${\leq}$ $L_x/{\lambda}$ ${\leq}$ 20, the tolerable distances for gain errors of 0.5 dB and 0.2 dB can be guided as $R_{0.5\;dB}$ ${\approx}$ $1.2Lx/{\lambda}$ and $R_{0.2\;dB}$ ${\approx}$ $2.0L_x/{\lambda}$, where $L_x$ is the lateral length of the square aperture. The tolerable distances for 20 ${\leq}$ $L_x/{\lambda}$ ${\leq}$ 200 are also proposed. This measurement guideline can be fully utilized when performing the Fresnel-field antenna measurement method.

Background: Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) is usually managed pharmacologically. It is not uncommon for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) to suffer from PHN. It is difficult to prescribe a sufficient dose of anticonvulsants for intractable pain because of the decreased glomerular filtration rate. If the neural blockade and pulsed radiofrequency ablation provide only short-term amelioration of pain, spinal cord stimulation (SCS) with a low level of evidence may be used only as a last resort. This study was done to evaluate the efficacy of spinal cord stimulation in the treatment of PHN in patients with CKD. Methods: PHN patients with CKD who needed hemo-dialysis who received insufficient relief of pain over a VAS of 8 regardless of the neuropathic medications were eligible for SCS trial. The follow-up period was at least 2 years after permanent implantation. Results: Eleven patients received percutaneous SCS test trial from Jan 2003 to Dec 2007. Four patients had successfully received a permanent SCS implant with their pain being tolerable at a VAS score of less than 3 along with small doses of neuropathic medications. Conclusions: SCS was helpful in managing tolerable pain levels in some PHN patients with CKD along with tolerable neuropathic medications for over 2 years.

We recently showed that polylysine, the polymer of lysines, retains anti-prion activity. Although the effectiveness of prion inhibition by polylysine was demonstrated with the regimen tolerated in mice, a determination of quantitative polylysine toxicity is necessary to precisely address the in vivo toxicity level of polylysine. In this communication, we report the results of body weight monitoring and hematologic tests performed in CD-1 mice that received two different tolerable dosages of polylysine for an either 5-day or 4-week period. We found that there was no significant alteration in overall serum chemistry, blood cell count, and body weight gain compared with controls. The only notable quantitative change with statistical significance was the decrease of platelet numbers in mice subchronically administered with polylysine. Our results suggest that polylysine is harmless in mice if administered for a short period, but administrations of polylysine in mice may require considerate attention for safety in future investigations as mice chronically receive tolerable doses of polylysine.

The T-50/A-50 Golden Eagle was developed for a supersonic trainer and light combat aircraft. At the design stage, vibration control plans were established and applied. For cockpit vibration, crew comfort vibration level was defined by the requirement of MIL-A-8892. It is found that the T-50/A-50 meets the requirement of cockpit vibration from the flight test data analysis. This paper contains the results of cockpit vibration analysis using the flight test data and the results of human vibration analysis lot the pilot inside aircraft. The human vibration level of pilot is increased as dynamic pressure is increased and at the specific high dynamic pressure, the ride comfort indicates 'a little uncomfortable'. Overall analysis results show that the vibration level of T-50/A-50 cockpit is tolerable and not critical for pilot's comfort.

연구의 목적은 3개 모바일 포털사이트의 응답시간을 분포를 이용하여 비교하고 분류하는 것이다. 연구대상은 Naver, Daum, Nate의 모바일 포털 사이트 접속페이지이며, 실험기간은 모바일 포털들이 활성화되기 시작되던 즈음인 2012년 4월 18일에서 2018년 4월 17일까지 6년간이다. 그리고 실험횟수는 4,060회이다. 분포비교를 위해 히스토그램과 백분율을 이용하였으며 이론적인 비교를 위해 모수적 방법인 카이스케어 검정과 비모수적 방법인 콜모고로프-스미르노프 검정을 실시하였다. 네가지 방법 모두 Naver가 가장 빨랐고, 다음이 Nate, Daum이 가장 느렸다. 평균 응답시간 면에서도 같은 결과를 낳았다. 이러한 결과는 유선 포털의 결과와 정반대로서, Naver는 매체 특성에 맞게 유선에서는 많은 콘텐츠를 무선에서는 응답시간을 높이는 전략이고, Daum은 무선에서 응답시간을 희생하면서 콘텐츠를 중시하는 전략을 구사하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 분류에서는 응답시간에 따라 "Comfortable"과 "Tolerable", "Feedback", "Leave"로 나누었으며, 이용자들이 떠날 수 있다는 7초 이상인 "Leave"의 비율이 Naver는 1.18%, Daum이 11.70%, Nate가 1.5%로 Daum이 압도적으로 높아서 Daum의 응답시간은 개선이 매우 절실한 수준임을 알 수 있다. 또한 분류 결과에 의하면 3개 모바일 포털들이 응답시간을 줄이는 것이 필요하다는 것을 밝혔다. 본 논문의 결과가 모바일 포털들의 응답시간을 줄이는 기술경쟁을 촉진할 수 있기를 기대한다.

The propellant mixture ratio of gas generator changes when thrust control valve operate to change LRE thrust level. The mixture ratio change of gas generator result in gas temperature change and failure of turbine blade or deterioration of LRE specific impulse. The mixture ratio stabilizer has been developed to maintain propellant mixture ratio of gas generator. This article deals with design and static/dynamic characteristic of stabilizer. Also gas generator system simulation test has shown that the stabilizer can maintain propellant mixture ratio effectively within tolerable range.

This paper presents an experimental and analytical investigation on the behavior of a U-shaped girder subjected to operation, cracking and ultimate loads. A full-scale destructive test was conducted on a U-shaped girder to study the cracking process, load-carrying capacity, failure mechanism and load-deformation relationships. Accordingly, the tested U-shaped girder was modeled using ANSYS and a non-linear element analysis was conducted. The investigation shows that the U-shaped girder meets the specified requirements of vertical stiffness, cracking and ultimate load capacity. Unfavorable torsional effect is tolerable during operation. However, compared with box girders, the U-shaped girder has a more transverse mechanical effect and longitudinal cracks are apt to occur in the bottom slab.

Thermoelasticity is a contactless technique for measuring stress distributions in structural elements stressed by dynamic loads. This work describes the characteristics, analyzes the main causes of uncertainty and illustrates a series of operative methods for reducing its effects. More specifically, the effects of the angle of view between the thermographic camera and the surface of the object are studied, along with those due to the heat transmission by conduction between the various parts of the thing being measured as a function of the stress frequencies. The analyses, both theoretical and experimental, are aimed at defining the operational limits and optimal measurement and test conditions in relation to the measurement uncertainty that is considered tolerable in the specific application.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the dietary compliance and related variables in NIDDM patients. One hundred and fourteen patients at two hospitals in Seoul were interviewed and height, body weight, family history and postprandial blood glucose were analyzed statistically along with the dietary practices. 1) When the degree of dietary compliance was expressed as Tunbridge score, 75% was grouped as satisfactory, 9.7% as Tolerable, and 14.9% belonged to Hopeless group. 2) Calorie intake of the subjects was lower then RDA. Carbohydrate, fat, and protein contributed each 60 : 22 :18. When SFA was used 1, the relative ratio of PUFA : MUFA : SFA was 0.8 : 1.2 : 1. 3) The mean score of knowledge test on diet therapy was 5.6$\pm$2.9 out of possible 12.0 points. 4) Age had significant positive correlation with duration of diabetes(p<0.001), and significant negative correlation with scores of knowledge test on diet therapy was observed(p<0.001). 5) The difference of actual and prescribed calorie intake had positive correlation with PP2 blood glucose level(p<0.05), and significant negative correlation with age(p<0.05). 6) Statiscally significant variables on the practice of diet therapy were the present body weight, protein and carbohydrate intake, age, and sex.

복합말뚝은 서로 다른 재질을 사용하여 말뚝을 구성하는 말뚝으로 상부는 강관말뚝 하부는 콘크리트 말뚝으로 구성된 말뚝을 선 굴착 공법으로 시공하였다. 말뚝에는 7쌍의 변형률계와 경사계를 설치하여 말뚝의 수평재하시험 중 말뚝에 작용하는 응력과 변위를 측정하였다. 측정된 계측치는 여러 가지 이론적 공식을 이용하여 분석 비교하는 역 해석을 수행하였다. 분석결과 공식들로부터 예측한 말뚝에 작용하는 응력은 실제 측정된 값보다 크게 평가 되었으며, 말뚝상부에 응력이 크게 측정되다가 말뚝깊이에 따라 급격하게 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 측정된 응력은 모두 말뚝재질의 응력을 초과 하지 않아 복합말뚝의 설계개념을 검증할 수 있었다.
