지반 침하 및 액상화 등에 따른 과도한 상대변위로 인한 매립배관 시스템의 손상을 저감시키기 위해 종종 벨로우즈 신축이음관은 사용된다. 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성형과정에서 회선의 벽두께 감소와 같은 구조적인 불확실성이 발생할 수 있으며 특히, 벽두께 감소는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 매립배관 시스템의 효율적인 유지관리를 위해 회선의 벽두께 감소에 의한 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능평가는 필요하다. 하지만 회선의 벽두께 감소가 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 성능에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 연구는 미미하다. 따라서 본 연구는 기초적인 연구로써 고충실도 유한요소 모델을 이용하여 단조하중을 받는 벨로우즈 신축이음관의 벽두께 감소에 의한 성능을 평가하고 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 각 회선의 벽두께 감소를 20%로 적용하였을 때 최대하중은 약 3% 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며 2번 회선의 벽두께 감소가 최대하중 감소에 비교적 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

공극률, 슬릿 수 및 두께가 다양한 오리피스 구조물을 대상으로 개수로 수리실험을 진행하여 유공벽의 벽두께에 따른 에너지 손실계수의 변화 및 메커니즘을 연구하였다. 오리피스의 개수로 수리실험을 수행하였으며 다양한 유속조건에서 오리피스의 벽두께에 대한 에너지 손실계수를 측정한 뒤 결과를 권 등(2010)의 관수로 실험결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과 전체적으로 유속에 따라 에너지 손실은 변화하였으며 유속이 감소할수록 에너지 손실은 크게 증가함을 보였다. 유속이 작은 층류구간에서 유속이 감소할수록 에너지 손실은 증가하는 반비례 관계를 보였고 에너지 손실량은 관수로 실험결과와 서로 비슷하였다. 그러나 유속이 강한 난류 구간에서는 에너지 손실이 유속과 무관하게 일정한 관수로 결과와는 달리 유속에 따라 변화하였다. 또한 유속이 약한 흐름에서는 오리피스의 두께 및 슬릿 수에 따라 에너지 손실은 각각 다르게 측정되었지만 유속이 강한 흐름에서는 벽두께 변화와 상관없이 에너지 손실은 거의 비슷하였다. 이 결과로부터 개수로 오리피스의 경우 유속이 강한 구간에서는 오리피스의 벽두께 효과 보다 상 하류 수위차로 발생하는 개수로 효과가 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.

Porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes were prepared by hybrid process of TIPS(thermally induced phase separation) and stretching for membrane distillation. The tests were conducted to investigate that permeability of the membrane could be enhanced by reducing membrane wall thickness. During fiber spinning, dope discharge rate from nozzle was reduced and flow rate of bore fluid increased to make the wall thickness thinner. As dope discharge rate from nozzle was reduced and flow rate of bore fluid increased, the membrane wall thickness was reduced. As a result, air permeability, water permeability and vapor permeability of the membranes increased.

The wall thickness of the Ti-6Al-4V Large-Diameter Seamless Tube, which is supposed to be a very important parameter in a system design, was measured during $360^{\circ}$ cold bending processes. The factors or processes affecting the wall thickness include 1) primary bending, 2)secondary or finishing step of the $360^{\circ}$ bending, 3)cleaning processes in CERO TRUTM(CT)process. But thinning effects of the wall thickness during the cleaning processes are negligible compared to those during the formers. The variations in the percentages of the change in wall thickness were found to be from -14% to +16%.

Flow through compliant tubes with linear taper in wall thickness is numerically simulated by finite element analysis. For verification of the numerical method, flow through a compliant stenotic vessel is simulated and the results are compared to the existing experimental data. Steady two-dimensional flow in a collapsible channel with initial tension is also simulated and the results are compared with numerical solutions from the literature. Computational results show that as cross-sectional area decreases with the reduction in downstream pressure, flow rate increases and reaches the maximum when the speed index (mean velocity divided by wave speed) is near the unity at the point of minimum cross-section area, indicating the flow limitation or choking (flow speed equals wave speed) in one-dimensional studies. for further reductions in downstream pressure, flow rate decreases. The flow limitation or choking consist of the main reasons of waterfall effect which occurs in the airways, capillaries of lung, and other veins. Cross-sectional narrowing is significant but localized. When the ratio of downstream-to-upstream wall thickness is 2, the area throat is located near the downstream end. As this ratio is increased to 3, the constriction moves to the upstream end of the tube.

The Luciola lateralis larva took 5.3 days from climbing on the land to the pupal cocoon formation. It took 6.6 days for a larva to eventually transform to a pupa after building a pupal cocoon. The size of pupal cocoon was 10.1 mm in length, 4.7 mm in width and its wall thickness was 1.3 mm. The mean pupal period was 10.5 days. The adult stayed 6.8 days in the pupal cocoon before escaping the cocoon. The peak adult emergence appeared around 9 p.m., and decreased after 10 p.m. The optimal soil temperature for emergence was $23.4^{\circ}C$. The female adult of the natural population (Nat-type) lived shorter, laid fewer eggs, and the oviposition frequency was fewer than that of the Lab-type individuals. However, a few individuals from the natural population laid 200-400 eggs. The less number of oviposition in the natural population may be due to the fact that the female adults might lay eggs before the collection for the experiment.

Recently, thin and light-weight production technologies are needed in IT industry in accordance with increase of the smart phones and mobile PC products. In order to make light and high rigidity products, engineering plastic and aluminum materials are frequently used in products appearance and frame hat support structure. Especially aluminum extrusion and CNC Brick processes are widely used for high strength and high rigidity technology. But extrusion method has constraints to apply exterior design and CNC Brick process has relatively high production cost and low speed of manufacturing. In this research, a new process method is introduced in order to reduce material cost and to improve manufacturing speed dramatically. Plate forging process means basically that thickening of local wall area thickness after deform exterior shape by deep drawing and bending process. Therefore, it is possible to minimize the waste of material and the manufacturing time. In this study the process of plate forging is designed using finite element program AFDEX-2D and the thickness and the width of initial deformed blank. And it is verified as a sample which is a part of laptop developed through the proposed plate forging method.

Current refrigerators are designed to have thin doors and walls to facilitate user convenience and increase inner storage space. However, the thin doors and walls gives rise to the problem of dew generation on the outer surface of a refrigerator due to a large critical temperature difference between the outer wall and the room air; So far, an electric heater is commonly used for making the dew to evaporate; in this case, the heater inevitably requires additional electrical power. We propose a new approach to reduce the dew generation in a refrigerator by redesigning the gasket and varying the thickness of the inner case of the refrigerator. The results of simulations performed in this study indicate that the surface temperature in the region where dew was generated was increased by approximately $0.39{\sim}3.07^{\circ}C$ without the use of a heater.

Background: Despite the relatively high mortality rates in the chronic heart failure model induced by coronary artery ligation are relatively high, this model has been a subject of continuos research because of its clinical correlation. Chronic heart failure model of large-sized animals is very useful to analyse mechanical or biological effects on circulatory system which is difficult in small-sized animals. The purpose of this study is to establish the heart failure model by coronary artery ligation in sheep. Material and Method: Among 9 Corridale sheep, the homonymous artery and the diagonal branch were ligated simultaneously in 2 sheep and remaining 7 sheep were assigned to successive ligation of both arteries at an interval of 1 hour. Both coronary arteries were ligated from the point 40% proximal to the apex of the heart. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters were analyzed before the ligation of the coronary artery, after the ligation of the homonymous artery, and after additional ligation of the diagonal branch. The experimental animals were sacrificed after 2 or 3 months of growth and histopathologic studies were performed Result: Immediate postoperative death occurred in the 2 sheep that had received simultaneous ligation of the homonymous artery and diagonal branch. On the other hand, all the 7 sheep that were lifated in succession were survived up to 3 months. Arterial pressure was sifnificantly decreased immediately after ligation of the homonymous artery(p<0.05), and the cardiac output was decreased and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was increased after further ligation of the diagonal branch(p<0.05). Central venous pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension and end-systolic dimension were markedly increased 3 months after ligation of coronary arteries. Anteroseptal akinesia or dyskinesia was developed after the ligation of coronary arteries. Histopathologic study revealed we]1-demarcated ischemic area of fibrosis. Conclusion: Using methods of successive ligation of the homonymous artery and diagonal branch, chronic heart failure model could be reliably established in sheep.

Introduction : Korean red ginseng has been shown to have an preventive effect on atheroma formation and enhancing effect on nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cell inducing vasodilatation. However, there are few studies showing the effect of Korean red ginseng on blood pressure and vascular(endothelial) pathologic changes together. We designed this study to show changes of blood pressure and vascular pathologic findings with Korean red ginseng administration compared with Chinese red ginseng and control for 3 months in rats. Materials and methods : We studied the in vitro hypotensive effect and effect on vascular pathologic changes of Korean red ginseng compared with Chinese red ginseng and control. Rats were randomly assigned to three groups(Korean red ginseng, Chinese red ginseng and control) and evaluated by blood pressure and aortic vascular(endothelial) pathologic changes monthly during 3-month administration. All results were analyzed by paired T-test, ANOVA and post-hoc. Results : Blood pressure lowering effect was noted on Korean red ginseng and Chinese red ginseng compared to control. Especially, in Korean red ginseng group, hypotensive effect was showed in first and second month, but, in Chinese red ginseng group, it was just noted in first month. In case of vascular(aortic endothelial) pathologic finding, endothelial wall thickening and elastic fiber tearing were noted in Chinese red ginseng group compared with Korean red ginseng group and control with statistical significance.(p<0.05) Discussion : These results suggested Korean red ginseng could have more hypotensive effect and maintenance rather than Chinese red ginseng. And the difference of hypotensive effect between Korean red ginseng and Chinese red ginseng might has some association with difference of vascular pathologic findings in each group. However, further evaluation and research of other mechanism will be needed to convince this hypothesis.
