Dynamic response analysis in time dimain is conducted for floating bridges with discrete pontoons subject to spatial variation of ground motions. The Spatial variation of ground motions is considered with the coherency function model which represents wave passage, incoherence and local site effects. The superstructure of the bridge is represented by space frame and elastic catenary cable elements, the abutment us modelde with the spring element of FHWA guideline for considering soil structure interaction and the concept of retardation function is utilized to consider the frequency dependency of the hydrodynamic coefficients which are obtainde by boundary element method. multiple support excitations considering the spatial variation. The noticeable amplification of the response can be shown when the spatial variation of ground motions is incorporated in the anallysis of floating bridges.

This paper deals with the analytic and FEM analyses of sloshing frequency response of incompressible, invicid and irrotational flow in two dimensional rectangular tank. We use Laplace equation based on potential theory as governing equation. For small amplitude sloshing motion, the linearized free surface condition was applied and the analytic solution as obtained by the separation of variables. To simulate the effect of the energy dissipation due to viscous damping, artificial viscous coefficient is introduced and the divergence of response at resonance frequencies may be avoided by this coefficient. This problem was solved by FEM using 9-node elements in order to predict the maximum amplitude of sloshing response. Numerical results of free surface height, fluid pressure and fluid force show good agreement with those by analytic solution. After verifying the test FEM program, we analyze the frequency response characteristics of sloshing to the fluid height.

In this study, characteristics of seismic behaviors of offshore wind turbine systems using concrete-suction-type supporting structures are investigated. Applying hydrodynamic pressure from the surrounding sea water and interaction forces from the underlying soil to the structural system which is composed of RNA, the tower, and the supporting structure, a governing equation of the system is derived and its earthquake responses are obtained. It can be observed from the analysis results that the responses are significantly influenced by soil-structure interaction because dynamic responses for higher natural vibration modes are increased due to the flexibility of soil. Therefore, the soil-structure interaction must be taken into consideration for accurate assessment of dynamic behaviors of offshore wind turbine systems using concrete-suction-type supporting structures.

If a spoiler was attached to the pipeline investigated in a previous study, a strong flow and vortex at the lower part caused scouring and thus an asymmetric pressure distribution, which assisted in the analysis of the self-burial structure where a down force was applied to the pipe. However, only the fluid-pipe interaction was considered, excluding the medium (seabed), when practically burying the pipeline. Thus, this study applied a numerical model (LES-WASS-2D) to directly analyze the non-linear interactions among the fluid, pipe, and seabed in order to perform numerical simulations of a pipeline with a spoiler installed on the seabed. This allowed the self-burial mechanism of a pipeline with a spoiler to be analyzed in the same context as the previous study that considered only the fluid-pipe interaction. However, when a pipeline was installed on the seabed, a strong flow and vortex were found at the front of the bottom, and a spoiler accelerated the fluid resistances. This hydraulic phenomenon will reinforce the scouring and down force on the pipeline. In the general consideration of the numerical analysis results by the specifications and arrangements of the spoiler, a pipeline with a spoiler was found to be the most effective for the self-burial function.

해안 대수층은 해수와 담수가 공존하는 지역으로 상대적으로 밀도가 큰 해수가 대수층의 담수 아래에 쐐기형태로 존재하게 된다. 이러한 쐐기형태의 해수와 담수의 경계면은 압력경도의 평형에 의해 경계면이 유지되며, 해수면 또는 지하수위가 변동할 경우 해수-담수 경계면의 균형이 무너짐과 더불어 압력경도의 평행이 이루어질 때 까지 해수-담수 경계면의 이동이 계속 진행된다. 수위 변화의 주요 원인으로는 지구온난화 및 기후변화로 인한 지속적인 해수면 상승과 도서지역의 인구증가 및 산업화로 인한 무분별한 지하수의 사용 등에 의한 지하수위 저하 등을 꼽을 수 있다. 이와 같은 원인으로 해안 및 도서지역에서는 해안 대수층의 해수침투거리가 증가하여 지하수 이용에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 해안 대수층의 해수침투 범위 및 거리를 추정하기 위한 많은 연구들이 다양한 분야에서 지속해서 이루어지고 있지만, 서로 밀도가 다른 해수와 담수가 공존하는 해안 대수층 내의 수리특성을 명확히 파악하기에는 아직까지 미흡한 점들이 많다. 과거에는 Darcy의 법칙 및 Ghyben-Herzberg 식에 근거한 이론적인 연구들이 주로 이루어졌고, 근래에 현장관측이나 수리모형실험이 국내 외적으로 수행되고 있으나, 모든 영역의 지하수의 특성을 조사하는 것이 사실상 불가능하다. 이에 최근에는 컴퓨터 성능의 비약적인 발전과 더불어 다양한 수치해석방법에 의한 수치모델들이 개발되어 시뮬레이션에 적용되고 있다. 하지만 거의 대부분의 수치모델은 해안 대수층 수리특성을 투수계수에 의존하고 있을 뿐, 대수층 내부의 해수-담수에 의한 밀도류의 유동특성을 전혀 고려하지 못한 채 정수압에 근거한 해수-담수 경계면에 대해 모의하고 있는 정도이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 해안 대수층 내부의 유동현상을 투수계수에 의존하는 방법에서 탈피하여 대수층 매체의 입경, 공극, 형상 등을 고려할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 염분 및 온도차에 의한 밀도류를 해석할 수 있는 강비선형 수치모델을 개발하여 해수침투 현상을 직접 모의한다. 나아가 대부분의 이전 연구들에서 간과하고 있는 해안지역의 대표적 물리력인 파랑과 조석의 영향이 해안 대수층의 해수침투에 미치는 영향, 해안 대수층의 지하수위 및 해수면의 수위차에 의한 해수침투 특성 그리고 이를 제어 할 수 있는 새로운 대응기술을 제안하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

The construction of a submerged breakwater has become increasing due to their multiple effects on the coastal zone. Recently, marker rocks have been installed on the submerged breakwater to indicate its position to the vessels instead of buoy systems, since a buoy is not only improper for the ocean view, but also its mooring system may be damaged by the impulsive wave force caused by wave breaking on the breakwater. The accurate estimation of wave forces on such rocks is deemed necessary for their stability design. In this study, the characteristics of irregular wave forces acting on a marker rock, which was installed on a submerged breakwater, was investigated on the basis of laboratory experiments. It was revealed that the dimensionless highest one-third wave force tends to decrease with increasing the installation distance of a marker rock from the leading crown edge of a submerged breakwater. Also, the drag and inertia coefficients for irregular wave forces, which were obtained using the Morison equation, were investigated in relation to K.C. number.

In the present study, numerical analysis was performed for hydrodynamic motion and structural performance on four different concrete floating structures, which have same cross-section but different length. The hydrodynamic analysis of floating structures is carried out using ANSYS AQWA with the different 34 wave load on regular wave period from three seconds to ten seconds in 35 m water depth. In order to evaluate structural performance of floating structures under the critical wave load which obtained from hydrodynamic analysis. The integrated analysis is also carried out through the mapping method, which can directly connect the wave-induced hydraulic pressure obtained form ANSYS AQWA to Finite Element Model in ANSYS Mechanical. As a results of this study, the hydrodynamic motion of floating structures is decreased as the length of structure increased. It means that the effect of wave-structure interaction is strongly dependent on the relationship between a wave period and a length of structure. Moreover, it is found that tension stress on bottom slab of floating structure is occurred by the critical wave load, the sectional force is not influenced by length of a structure.

Aconiti tuber butanol fraction, which is isolated from the chloroform insoluble and water soluble extract of Aconitum volubile, has been recently known to have a potent positive inotropic effect in the isolated cardiac muscle preparations of various animals. The positive inotropic mechanism of Aconiti tuber butanol fraction, in relation with the external calcium, was studied using the isolated cat papillary muscle. The positive inotropic effect was dependent on the calcium concentration in the nutrient medium, and a synergistic relation could be demonstrated between Aconiti tuber butanol fraction and the external calcium. The inotropic effect of $10^{-4}g/ml$ of Aconiti tuber butanol fraction was equivalent to that of 0.06mM of calcium in the medium. After the treatment with a calcium influx inhibitor, Verapamil$(2{\pm}10^{-7}-10^{-6}M)$, the contractile force of the papillary muscle was markedly inhibited. In these preparations, Aconiti tuber butanol fraction restored the decreased contractility in a dose-dependent manner. It was suggested that the positive inotropic effect of Aconiti tuber butanol fraction might be related with the stimulating action on the calcium influx through the slow inward calcium channels in the cardiac cell membrane. In contrast with digitalis cardiac glycoside, Aconiti tuber butanol fraction infused intravenously into the anesthetized rabbit decreased the systemic arterial blood pressure and increased the carotid blood flow, but produced no prominent changes in the heart rate.

The purpose of this study is to determine the possibility of Codonopsis lanceolata skin as natural health food source. To accomplish this purpose, the contents of general and antioxidative nutrients of C. lanceolata skin were measured. On a dry weight basis the contents of carbohydrate, crude protein, crude lipid and ash are 24.74, 2.73, 2.96 and 4.84%, and the calories of skin was 266.00 kcal/100 g and total dietary fiber was 64.73%. The contents of essential and non-essential amino acids were 633.40 and 870.72 mg/100 g wet weight basis. The K was the largest mineral followed by Ca, Mg, and P, suggesting that C. lanceolata skin is alkali material. The EDA of water extract from C. lanceolata skin was 18.28~79.30%, and the activity was dependent on the sample concentration. Total phenolic and flavonoids contents of water extract from C. lanceolata skin were estimated as 24.65 and $6.19\;{\mu}g/g$. The C. lanceolata skin extract showed the highest reducing power (3.5) at the concentration of 25 mg/mL. Based on the above results, we deemed that the C. lanceolata skin might have potential antioxidant activities. The general nutrients and antioxidant bioactive materials in C. lanceolata skin were also potential materials for good health food.

Intraspecific diploid androgenesis was achieved in mud loach (Misgurnus mizolepis) by the inhibition of the first mitotic division using combined thermal treatment. A combined thermal treatment (heat shock at $40.5\;^{\circ}C$ for 120 sec followed by cold treatment at $1\;^{\circ}C$ for 45 min) applied to the 1st metaphase of cell division (28 min post insemination at $25\;^{\circ}C$) successfully recovered viable androgenetic diploidy. Mean hatching success of the androgenetic diploid group was 29.6%, and the average yield out of total eggs taken was about 7% assessed at 1 week of age. However, relatively large variations in the yield of diploid androgenesis were observed among different egg batches used as cytoplasmic donors. Successful diploidization was confirmed by flow cytometric analysis, and parthenogenic reproduction in a paternal exclusive manner was verified with transgene dosage. Significant mortality was found in most androgenetic groups especially from hatch to 1 month of age, although such mortality was stabilized later.
