A simple method for determining the absorption coefficient of oxyhemoglobin and deoxyhemoglobin in human blood is proposed as an application of the complex propagation constant of a guided wave in a thin-film optical waveguide. A serial multichannel sample chamber is constructed on the waveguide to vary the interaction length between the evanescent field and the sample, and the dependence of the sensor response on the interaction length is investigated for the various concentration of two hemoglobins. The sensor response is linearly proportional to the interaction length and the concentration of two hemoglobins. The attenuation constant due to the evanescent field absorption between the samples is experimentally obtained with the designed sensor, and then the absorption coefficient is determined by the proposed method. The absorption coefficients determined by the proposed method fairly well coincided with those obtained by the conventional transmission measurement.

Kwon et al.(2008) carried out a hydraulic experiment in order to evaluate Manning coefficient, which implicates flow resistance due to bottom friction as well as drag caused by the squared piers higher than water depth and arranged with equal intervals, under the flow condition with a constant drag coefficient, $Re>10^4$. And, based on the equation of equilibrium, they proposed a formula for the equivalent resistant coefficient including empirical drag interaction coefficient obtained by using the experimental results. In this study, the hydraulic experiment was simulated using FLOW-3D, a 3-dimensional computational fluid dynamic code. The computations were compared with the experiment results as well as the semi-theoretical formula, and the comparisons show a good agreement. From the agreement, it was confirmed that when flow resistance bodies were higher than water depth, Manning n value increases with 2/3 power of water depth as shown in the theoretical formula and that drag interaction coefficient was dominated by their intervals.

The purpose of the present study is to examine the dynamic interaction characteristics between moving maglev vehicle and guideway bridge system. For this purpose, the dynamic governing equation of 2-dof maglev vehicle using optimal feedback control scheme of LQG was derived with or without consideration of the dynamic interaction between vehicle and guideway bridge system. From the parametric study, it was found that the dynamic interaction effect between bridge and vehicle was large in case of neglecting the railway roughness effect. But if the railway roughness effect was considered, it was observed two analysis results with or without consideration of the dynamic interaction did not show big difference. As a conclusion, it is required to take into account the dynamic interaction effect of bridge and maglev vehicle and the railway roughness for precise evaluation of runnability of maglev vehicle and impact factor of guideway.

This paper will present a simple approach (or predicting layer deformation of unbound pavement materials with stress-dependent material properties. The approach is based on an uncoupled formulation in which the resilient and deformation response of unbound materials are considered separately. As a result, an uncoupled approach incorporating a resilient stiffness and Poisson's ratio model is able to simulate field measured deformation in pavement foundations. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to identify the significant factors in the stress-dependent modulus and Poison's ratio model. The predicted trends of deformation from this analysis are presented and discussed.

With explosively growing PPI databases, the computational approach for a prediction and configuration of PPI network has been a big stream in the bioinformatics area. Recent researches gradually consider physicochemical properties of proteins and support high resolution results with integration of experimental results. With regard to current research trend, it is very close future to complete a PPI network configuration of each organism. However, direct applying the PPI network to real field is complicated problem because PPI network is only a set of co-expressive proteins or gene products, and its network link means simple physical binding rather than in-depth knowledge of biological process. In this paper, we suggest a protein functional flow model which is a directed network based on a protein functions' relation of signaling transduction pathway. The vertex of the suggested model is a molecular function annotated by gene ontology, and the relations among the vertex are considered as edges. Thus, it is easy to trace a specific function's transition, and it can be a constraint to extract a meaningful sub-path from whole PPI network. To evaluate the model, 11 functional flow models of Homo sapiens were built from KEGG, and Cronbach's alpha values were measured (alpha=0.67). Among 1023 functional flows, 765 functional flows showed 0.6 or higher alpha values.

본 논문에서는 지반-구조물 상호작용계의 입력하중과 강성에 관련된 물성값들을 구조물에서 계측된 지진응답만을 사용하여 효과적으로 추정할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 제안하였는데, 제안된 방법은 비지계수 추정을 위한 목적함수가 입력하중에 독립적이기 때문에 구조물에서 계측된 지진응답만으로 미지계수의 추정이 가능하도록 되어있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 방법의 검증은 국제공동 연구의 일환으로 최근 대만의 화련에 건설된 대형지진시험 구조물에서 계측된 지진 응답을 사용하여 수행하였다. 추정된 입력하중과 지반과 구조물의 강성에 관련된 물성값들을 사용하여 계산된 지진응답의 계측치와 매우 잘 일치하여, 추정결과의 타당성을 검증할 수 있었다.

The solubilities of caffeine in supercritical ammonia were measured at various temperatures and pressures to represent the relationship between the solubility and the density of ammonia at desired temperature and pressure by means of a simple equation. Using the equation, the interaction virial coefficient between ammonia and caffeine has been determined to give the parameters of Lennard-Jones potential function for the system. Furthermore, there are comparisons and discussions of the interaction virial coefficients and Lennard-Jones potential functions determined by the same techniques from the solubility data of naphthalene in supercritical ammonia and of caffeine and naphthalene in supercritical carbon dioxide from existing data sources others.

본 연구에서는 이중압축램프의 초음속 유동에서 발생하는 충격파 경계층 상호작용을 EDISON_CFD로 해석하기로 한다. 이중압축램프에선 역압력 구배로 인하여 경계층이 박리가 일어나게 되고 박리된 경계층이 다시 이중압축램프에 부착되어 생겨난 박리영역을 관찰할 수 있다. 박리영역의 앞뒤로 유동의 방향이 바뀌게 되면서 압축 팬(compression fan)과 재부착 팬(reattachment fan)이 충격파를 발생시키고 이중압축램프전방의 충격파와 만나서 복잡한 유동 구조를 가지게 됨을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 층류에서 난류, 박리와 재부착의 영역에서의 해석하기 위해선 해석자의 난류모델이 중요하다. $15^{\circ}-30^{\circ}$, $15^{\circ}-45^{\circ}$의 두 종류의 이중압축램프를 $k-{\omega}$ SST 난류 모델과 ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ 천이 모델로 계산을 EDISON_CFD로 수행하였다. 난류 모델의 차이를 표면마찰계수, 압력계수, 마하수로 비교하여 차이점을 분석하였다.

In this study, the tunnel loads acting on the concrete lining are analyzed by comparing three methods - Terzaghi table, Terzaghi formula and Ground-Lining Interaction (G.L.I) model. The tunnel loads are analyzed by FLAC 2D. And the G.L.I model is analyzed under various rock mass ratings, tunnel depths (20~80m) and in-situ stress ratios ($K_0$=0.5~2.0). Terzaghi's method can be applied only to weathered rocks and soils, and cannot reflect the effect of various tunnel depths and in-situ stress ratio. The proposed G.L.I model can not only be applied to various ground conditions, but also relieves the tunnel loads by up to 30%.
