The main structure of Gunsan steam power station was demolished by the toppling method using high explosives. Height of a main building is 58m and a total floor area is $292,000m^2$. It is Rahmen(rigid-frame) structure consisted of almost columns and beams and slabs exist only in one part of the building for the electricity generators equipments. To improve the efficiency of blasting work, it is separated into 4 sectors. Blasting floors were 1, 2, 3, & 4 stories from first sector to third sector, while 1, 2, 5, & 7 of fourth sector were blasted because it had not slabs. About 102.675 kg of the MegaMITE were used with 225 electric detonator and 638 non-electric detonators to check detonator connection and confidence of detonation. The blasting noise and vibration were monitored to evaluate the environment effect and the damage of the nearby structures.

In close to downtown construction, the main problem is complaints caused by blasting vibration and noise. To reduce blasting vibration and noise, deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonator can be more secure because there is no cut-off problem. And in this method it is possible to blast in horizontal direction. In this study, the efficiency of horizontal direction deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonator is compared to that of the existing blasting method. And the possibility of applying the construction site is evaluated. As a result, the reduction of blasting vibration, noise and secondary breaking has been determined, as well as large-scale blasting in the vibration criterion can be regulated by the overall increase in blasting efficiency.

Recently, in order to achieve smooth fracture plane and minimize the excavation damage zone in rock blasting, controlled blasting methods which utilize new technologies such as electronic delay detonator (EDD) and a notched charge hole have been suggested. In this study, smooth blastings utilizing three wing type notched charge holes are simulated to investigate the influence of explosive initial density on the resultant fracture plane and damage zone using dynamic fracture process analysis (DFPA) code. Finally, based on the dynamic fracture process analyses, novel smooth blasting method, ED-Notch SB (Electronic Detonator Notched Charge Hole Smooth Blasting) is suggested.

In case of urban blasting works at near neighbors, the size of one blasting should be minimized to reduce the vibration and noise. However, the complaints is not decreased due to increased numbers of blasting per day so that the period of blasting works become long. This case study is related to urban apartment construction site. In order to overcome the weakness of general detonators which is required many blasting times to meet the day productivity, we have been applied deck-charge blasting method using electronic detonators and then we successfully increased the day productivity with much less blasting times. Hence, we had effectively achieved the declined neighbors'complaints and shortening construction period.

최근 MR영상을 허혈성 뇌졸중의 초급성기에 뇌조직의 관류 이상을 조기에 진단하려는 연구들이 진행되고 있으나 아직 일반적인 진단용 소프트웨어만 있을 뿐 영상 자료를 후처리하여 뇌조직의 구조 및 기능적인 정보를 제공하는 mapping 영상을 특수 소프트웨어는 실용화되어 있지 않다. 본 논문에서는 Gamma-variate 곡선 정합을 이용한 뇌관류 파라미터 영상 mapping의 알고리즘 구현에 관해 연구하였다. 관류 MR영상의 각 화소마다 측정된 시간에 따른 신호강도의 변화 곡선은 비선형적이어서 뇌관류에 관한 여러 가지 혈역학적 변수들을 보다 정확하게 계산할 수 없었다. 그래서 수렴속도가 빠르고 안정성이 높은 비선형 최적화 알고리즘인 Levenberg-Marquardt 알고리즘(LMA)을 활용하였다. 즉 시간에 따른 신호강도의 변화 곡선을 Gamma-variate 함수를 이용하여 곡선 정합한 후, CBV, MTT, CBF, TTP, BAT, MS의 여러 가지 혈역학적 변수를 LMA에 의해 계산하였다. 그 결과로 관류 MR영상으로부터 얻은 mapping 영상은 초급성 허혈성 뇌졸중에서 관류에 관한 혈역학적 변화를 평가함으로써 나중에 생길 뇌경색의 범위를 예견하는 데에 유용하였다.

Purpose: Although several neuroanatomical models of panic disorder have been proposed, little is known regarding the neurological mechanisms underlying cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in patients with panic disorder. This study was performed to identify the brain structures that show changes of regnioal cerebral blood flow (rCBF) after CBT in patients with panic disorder. Materials and Methods: Seven patients who were diagnosed as panic disorder by DSM-IV were treated with CBT for 8 weeks and twelve healthy volunteers joined in this study. Serial $^{99m}Tc-ECD$ brain perfusion SPECT images were acquisited and PDSS-SR (Self-Report version of Panic Disorder Severity Scale) and ACQ (Agoraphobic Cognitive Question) scores were measured just before and after CBT in all patients. Data were analyzed using SPM2. Results: Subjective symptoms were improved, and PDSS-SR and ACQ scores were significantly reduced ($14.9{\pm}3.9\;vs.\;7.0{\pm}1.8$, p<0.05; $30.3{\pm}8.5\;vs.\;21.6{\pm}3.4$, p<0.05, respectively) after CBT in panic patients. Before CBT, a significant increase of rCBF was found in the cingulate gylus, thalamus, midbrain, both medial frontal and temporal lobes of the panic patients compared to the normal volunteers. After CBT, we observed a significant rCBF decrease in the left parahippocamus, right insula and cingulate gyrus, both frontal and temporal lobes, and a significant rCBF increase in both the occipital lobes, left insula, both frontal and left parietal lobes. Conclusion: These data suggested that CBT is effective for panic disorder and diminish the activity of the brain areas associated with fear in panic disorder.
