We report a finding of fast(exceeding 2,000 K/s) heating of polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS), one of the most commonly-used microchannel materials, under cyclic loadings at high(~MHz) frequencies. A microheater was created based on the finding. The heating mechanism utilized vibration damping of sound waves, which were generated and precisely manipulated using a conventional surface acoustic wave(SAW) microfluidic system, in PDMS. The penetration depths were measured to range from $210{\mu}m$ to $1290{\mu}m$, enough to cover most microchannel heights in microfluidic systems. The energy conversion efficiency was SAW frequency-dependent and measured to be the highest at around 30 MHz. Independent actuation of each interdigital transducer(IDT) enabled independent manipulation of SAWs, permitting spatiotemporal control of temperature on the microchip. All the advantages of this microheater facilitated a two-step continuous flow polymerase chain reaction(CFPCR) to achieve the billion-fold amplification of a 134 bp DNA amplicon in less than 3 min. In addition, a technique was developed for establishing dynamic free-form temperature gradients(TGs) in PDMS as well as in gases in contact with the PDMS.

Ship damage caused by maritime casualties leads to marine pollution and loss of life and property. To prevent serious damage from maritime casualties, several types of safety regulations are applied in ship design. Damage stability regulation is one of the most important safety issues. Designs of ships for long international voyages must comply with these regulations. Current regulations, however, do not consider the characteristics of the operating route of each ship and reflect only ship size and type of cargo. In this paper, a damage safety assessment was undertaken for a ship carrying radioactive waste in actual wave conditions. Damage cases for safety assessment were constructed on the basis of safety regulations and related research results. Hull form, internal arrangement, loading condition and damage condition were modeled for damage safety simulation. The safety simulation was performed and analyzed for 10 damage cases with various wave heights, frequency and angle of attack on an operating route. Based on evaluation results, a design alternative was generated, and it was also simulated. These results confirmed that damage safety analysis is highly important in the design stage in consideration of the operating route characteristics by simulation. Thus a ship designer can improve safety from damage in this manner.

단조롭고 자연친화적이지 못한 기존 연안블록의 설계 및 시공으로 인하여, 연안침식방지 블록이 효과적으로 제 기능을 발휘하지 못하고 또 다른 피해가 발생되고 있다. 국민소득의 증대와 Waterfront 개념의 빠른 확산으로 연안 어항의 낙후된 시설개선 등에 많은 사업이 추진되고 있으나 이러한 용도에 맞는 자연 친화형 구조물이 개발된 바 없어 기존의 Solid Block, Igloo Block, Tunnel Block 등이 일부 현장에 적용되고 있는 실정이다. 선박이 계류하는 안벽이나 물양장 등에서 항내 진입파와 항파 등으로 인한 반사파의 발생에 의한 공진현상으로 항내파고가 높아져 정온도유지가 어렵고 선박의 계류 및 하역에 지장을 주게 되며, 선박과의 충돌 발생으로 인한 소형선박의 손괴 발생율이 높은 실정이므로 새로운 형태의 블록(Block)개발이 필요하다. 이에 따라 개발한 C.E.(Coastal Environments)블록을 현장에서 사용하기 위해서는 전단키 부분의 내하력 평가가 요구 된다. 따라서, 본 연구는 C.E. 블록의 연결부 시험편을 제작하여 C.E.블록 경계면의 마찰실험을 실시하였으며, 실험에서 얻은 C.E.블록 연결부의 마찰계수를 유한요소 해석에 사용하여 C.E.블록의 블록과 블록 접촉면의 마찰 계수를 산정하고자 한다.

Phenotypic plasticity was examined in the economically and ecologically important brown alga Ascophyllum nodosum in southwestern Nova Scotia, considering specifically how nutrient loading affected its vegetative and reproductive features. To determine this, we examined morphometric changes in A. nodosum from two sites receiving direct effluent impacts from a land-based finfish aquaculture facility and from two control sites, approximately 2 km away from the aquaculture facility in opposite directions. Fronds from test sites were significantly younger than from control sites (5 y vs. 8 y); however, fronds from farm sites were significantly larger (219 g vs. 90 g) because of their higher growth rates. Thalli from farm sites had greater reproductive potential, as shown by numbers of receptacle initials (797 initials vs. 281 initials). These results suggest limited nutrient inflows from land-based aquaculture may positively affect adjacent Ascophyllum populations by inducing higher growth rates. We conclude that the coordination of effluent management from land-based aquaculture with natural resource harvesting of A. nodosum may be beneficial. Further study is necessary to determine the limits of nutrient loading for this potentially beneficial outcome.

Exploration of the wave-mode identification and its propagating property in the solar pore is desirable to study the energy transfer in the solar atmosphere. The Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) installed at the New Solar Telescope (NST) is a unique system that can do imaging of H-alpha and Ca II 8542 band simultaneously, which is quite suitable for studying of dynamics of chromosphere. In this study, we inspect a relationship between the cross-sectional area and intensity of the pore at continuum (-0.4 nm) near the Ca II line. We find coherent oscillations of the area and intensity. They shows out-of-phase (~ 180 degree difference) in photosphere, which implies that the oscillation is fast sausage mode. We also investigate a relationship between LOS velocities above the pore obtained from the Ca II and the Ha line cores, and find no significant difference of the phase (~10 degree) between the formation heights of the lines in chromosphere.

Purpose: This study was conducted to determine effective chest compression methods that could be used when performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rocking boats. Methods: Tests were conducted for four minutes using manual and mechanical chest compressions on two mannequins, placed in boats, and moving at a speed of 35km/hours on calm sea surfaces with wave heights of 0.5m and wind speeds of 2-3m/s (testing for two minutes, followed by rest, then a second round of testing for two minutes). To compare the quality of the chest compressions, data were analyzed using mannequins (Resusci Anne Q-CPR, Laerdal, Norway) and then statistically processed. Results: When chest compressions were administered in the moving rescue boat, an accuracy analysis showed that the pressure speed of the hand and mechanical techniques were normal, h owever, the pressure depth accuracies were 49.04% for manual techniques and 0% for mechanical techniques. The relaxation accuracies during compressions were 2.07% for manual techniques and 95.4% for mechanical techniques. Conclusion: When administering chest compressions in rocking rescue boats, mechanical rather than manual techniques should be preferentially considered.

In situ particle size spectra are obtained from two sequent cruises in order to evaluate the physical consequences of suspended particulate matters caused by episodic storm runoff from the Santa Ana River watershed, an urbanized coastal watershed. Suspended particles from various sources including surface runoff, near-bed resuspension, and phytoplankton are identified in empirical orthogonal function (EOF) analysis and an entropy-based parameterization (Shannon entropy). The first EOF mode is associated with high turbidity and fine particles as indicated by the elevated beam attenuation near the Santa Ana River and Newport Bay outlets, and the second EOF mode explains the suspended sediment dispersal and particle coarsening at the near-surface plume. Chlorophyll particles are also distinguished by negative magnitudes of the first EOF mode, which is supported by the relationship between fluorescence and beam attenuation. The integrated observation between the first EOF mode and the Shannon entropy index accentuates the characteristics of two different structures and/or sources of sediment particles; the near-surface plumes are originated from runoff water outflow, while the near-bottom particles are resuspended due to increased wave heights or mobilizing bottom turbidity currents. In a coastal pollution context, these methods may offer useful means of characterizing particle-associated pollutants for purposes of source tracking and environmental interpretation.

The potential of using the roof water tanks as a mitigation measure to minimize the required separation gap and induced pounding forces due to collisions is investigated. The investigation is carried out using nonlinear dynamic analysis for two adjacent 3-story buildings with different dynamic characteristics under two real earthquake motions. For such analysis, nonlinear viscoelastic model is used to simulate forces due to impact. The sloshing force due to water movement is modelled in terms of width of the water tank and the instantaneous wave heights at the end wall. The effect of roof water tanks on the story's responses, separation gap, and magnitude and number of induced pounding forces are investigated. The influence of structural stiffness and storey mass are investigated as well. It is found that pounding causes instantaneous acceleration pulses in the colliding buildings, but the existence of roof water tanks eliminates such acceleration pulses. At the same time the water tanks effectively reduce the number of collisions as well as the magnitude of the induced impact forces. Moreover, buildings without constructed water tanks require wider separation gap to prevent pounding as compared to those with water tanks attached to top floor under seismic excitations.

본 연구에서는 초지, 흙으로 된 표면, 아스팔트, 시멘트도로 등의 지표면 위의 자유공간에서 정상파 방법을 이용하여 음향 임피던스를 측정하였으며, 음의 초과감쇠를 조사하였다. 사용한 주파수의 범위는 300Hz에서 1000Hz이며, 각 지표면의 음향 임피던스를 측정한 결과 Delany와 Bazley의 이론식과 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 음향임피던스는 초지, 흙, 아스팔트, 시멘트도로의 순으로 커지고, 주파수가 증가하면 그 값은 감소한다. 음의 초과감쇠는 주로 음향임피던스에 의해 좌우됨을 확인하였으며, 각 지표면과 마이크로폰의 높이에 따른 이론치와 실험결과를 비교하였다.

과거, 울진원전 부지의 지진해일에 대한 안전성 평가는 가상최대 지진규모와 그에 상응하는 단층 파라미터를 이용하여 수행되었으나. 최근 지진공백역 이론에 근거하여, 과거 평가 규모 이상의 지진발생 가능성이 지진학자들에 의하여 제기되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선형·비선형천수방정식 기반의 유한차분법을 이용하여 지진해일 안전성을 재평가하였다. 먼저, '83년 지진해일을 모의하고 이를 동해안 임원항의 최고 범람 수위와 비교하였다. 다음으로 '83년, '93년 지진해일과 위험 단층으로 분류되고 있는 5개 지진공백역 단층에 대하여 울진원전부지 도수로에서의 수위 상승과 저하를 계산하여, 울진원전이 평가대상 단층으로 의한 지진해일 발생시에도 필요 냉각수의 취수가 가능함을 보였다.
