Purpose: We evaluated the prognostic factors of open globe injuries in children and adolescents, and compared the ocular trauma score (OTS) and pediatric penetrating ocular trauma score (POTS). Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 77 children under 18 years of age who visited our clinic with open globe injuries between May 1993 and April 2014. We investigated the factors that may affect final visual acuity. We also compared the OTS and POTS using receiver operating characteristic curves as a method to predict final visual acuity. Results: By univariate analysis, an initial visual acuity less than 20/200, globe rupture, wound size greater than 7.0 mm, retinal detachment, lens dislocation, and total number of operations contributed to worse visual outcomes (<20/200). Conversely, central corneal involvement, traumatic cataract, wound size less than 7.0 mm, and initial visual acuity greater than 20/200 were better prognostic indicators (${\geq}20/32$). Both OTS and POTS had diagnostic value as a predictor of final visual acuity, although there were no statistically significant differences between the two scoring systems. Conclusions: Initial visual acuity and wound size are important prognostic factors for the final visual acuity in children and adolescent, following open globe injuries. Both OTS and POTS are reliable prognostic models for open globe injuries in children and adolescents.

As the number of aging railway bridges in Korea increases, maintenance costs due to aging are increasing and continuous management is becoming more important. However, while the number of old facilities to be managed increases, there is a shortage of professional personnel capable of inspecting and diagnosing these old facilities. To solve these problems, this study presents an improved model that can detect Local damage to structures using machine learning techniques of AI technology. To construct a damage detection machine learning model, an analysis model of the bridge was set by referring to the design drawing of a non-ballasted plate-girder railroad bridge. Static strain data according to the damage scenario was extracted with the analysis model, and the Local damage index based on the reliability of the bridge was presented using statistical techniques. Damage was performed in a three-step process of identifying the damage existence, the damage location, and the damage severity. In the estimation of the damage severity, a linear regression model was additionally considered to detect random damage. Finally, the random damage location was estimated and verified using a machine learning-based damage detection classification learning model and a regression model.

표면에 부착된 나노/마이크로 입자는 다양한 분야에서 오염물질로 작용한다. 특히 형상이 미세하고 공정 단계가 복잡한 반도체 및 디스플레이 등의 전자 소자 공정에서 미치는 영향이 크다. 따라서 입자상 오염물질의 제거에 관하여 상용화된 습식 세정 방법이 다양하게 존재하지만 표면 손상, 화학 반응, 부산물, 세정 효율 등 여러 가지 문제점이 있어 새로운 세정 방법이 요구된다. 이에 건식 세정 방법, 그 중에서도 입자의 충돌을 통해 제거하는 방법인 에어로졸 세정, 필렛 세정 등이 개발되었으나 마이크로 크기로 생성되는 입자로 인하여 형상의 손상이 크다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 나노 단위로 기체/고체 혼합물만 생성하여 세정하는 가스 클러스터 세정 방법을 이용하여 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 클러스터 세정 장비를 이용한 표면 처리는 충돌에 의한 제거에 기반한다. 따라서 생성 및 가속되는 클러스터로부터 대상으로 전달되는 운동량의 정도가 세정 특성에 영향을 미치며 이는 생성되는 클러스터의 크기에 종속적이다. 생성 클러스터의 크기 분포는 분사 거리, 유량, 분사 각도, 노즐 냉각 온도 등의 변수에 관한 함수이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$ 클러스터를 이용한 세정 특성을 정의 및 제어하기 위하여 생성되는 클러스터 특성에 관하여 이론적, 수치 해석적, 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 먼저, $CO_2$의 물리적 특성 및 이를 이용한 특정 크기 오염 물질을 제거하는데 요구되는 임계 클러스터 크기 계산을 이론적으로 구하였다. 이는 오염물질의 부착력과 클러스터의 운동량 전달에 의한 제거력의 비교를 통해 이루어졌다. 두 번째로 클러스터 크기분포를 수치 해석적으로 예측하기 위하여 각 조건에 대하여 유동해석을 수행하고 이를 통해 구해진 노즐 내 기체의 냉각 속도를 GDE (General Dynamic Equation) 계산에 대입하여 구하였다. 마지막으로 PBMS(Particle Beam Mass Spectrometer)를 이용하여 실험적으로 클러스터 크기분포를 각 조건에 대하여 구할 수 있었다. 또한 크기 분포 경향에 대한 간접적 확인을 위하여 포토레지스트가 코팅된 웨이퍼에 클러스터의 충격으로 생성된 크레이터 크기의 경향을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 방법에 의하여 생성되는 클러스터는 노즐의 유량 증가, 온도 상승에 각각 비례하여 작아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper describes multi-scale based ductile fracture simulation using finite element (FE) damage analysis. The maximum and crack initiation loads of cracked components were predicted using proposed virtual testing method. To apply the local approach criteria for ductile fracture, stress-modified fracture strain model was adopted as the damage criteria with modified calibration technique that only requires tensile and fracture toughness test data. Element-size-dependent critical damage model is also introduced to apply the proposed ductile fracture simulation to large-scale components. The results of the simulation were compared with those of the tests on SA333 Gr. 6 full-scale pipes at $288^{\circ}C$, performed by the Battelle Memorial Institute.

This paper investigates the response of frame structures with the consideration of tunnel construction (ground loss) conditions. The response of four-story open frame structure and block-infilled frame structures, which are subjected to tunnelling-induced ground movements, has been investigated in different construction (ground loss) conditions using numerical analysis. The open frame structure has been modelled as an elastic structure, while the block-infilled frame structure has been modelled to have real cracks when the shear and tensile stress exceed the maximum shear and tensile strength. The response of the two different frame structures has been investigated in terms of construction (ground loss) conditions considering the magnitude of deformations and cracks in structures. In addition, the damage levels, which are possibly induced in the structures, has been provided in terms of construction (ground loss) conditions using the state of strain damage estimation criterion (Son and Cording, 2005). The results of this study will provide a background for better understandings for controlling and minimizing building damage on nearby frame structures due to tunnelling-induced ground movements.

This study comparatively analyzed hair damage by hair bleach particles and identified three different bleach particle sizes using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The powdered bleaching agents made of ammonium persulfate (APS) and potassium persulfate had particle sizes of $131{\mu}m$, $72{\mu}m$ and $48.8{\mu}m$. According to a hair damage test, cuticle lift-up or peeling hardly occurred when small bleach particles were used. In terms of hair color, the hair bleached with larger bleach particles was the darkest, while the hair bleached with small bleach particles was the brightest. The results found that for bleaching agents that are more effective in easing hair damage, those with little particles should be used. In addition, it appears that the selection of particles depending on the degree of hair bleaching would enhance bleaching effects and reduce hair damage. The above process is a way to get great results in selecting a bleaching agent. It is anticipated that hair damage could be reduced during hair bleaching based on the above results.

Damage location and extent of structure could be detected by the inverse analysis on dynamic response properties such as frequencies and mode shapes. The dynamic response of building structures has many noise and affected by nonstructural members and, above all, the behavior of building structure is more complex than civil structure and this makes the damage detection difficult. In recent researches the damage is detected by the indirect index such as sensitivity or assumed values. However, for the more reasonable damage detection, it needs to use the damage index directly induced from dynamic equation. The purpose of this study is to provide the damage detection method on shear building structures by the damage index directly induced from dynamic equation. The provided damage index could be estimated from measured mode shape of undamaged structure and frequency difference between undamaged and damaged structure. The damage detection method is applied to numerical analysis model such as MATLAB and MIDAS GENw for the verification. The damage index at damaged story represents (-) sign and 15 times than other undamaged sories.

In this paper, a hybrid damage monitoring scheme for prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridges by using sequential acceleration and impedance signatures is newly proposed. Damage types of interest include prestress-loss in tendon and flexural stiffness-loss in a concrete girder. The hybrid scheme mainly consists of three sequential phases: damage alarming, damage classification, and damage estimation. In the first phase, the global occurrence of damage is alarmed by monitoring changes in acceleration features. In the second phase, the type of damage is classified into either prestress-loss or flexural stiffness-loss by recognizing patterns of impedance features. In the third phase, the location and the extent of damage are estimated by using two different ways: a mode shape-based damage detection to detect flexural stiffness-loss and a natural frequency-based prestress prediction to identify prestress-loss. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is evaluated on a laboratory-scaled PSC girder model for which hybrid vibration-impedance signatures were measured for several damage scenarios of prestress-loss and flexural stiffness-loss.

본 논문은 손상되지 않은 지문과 손상된 지문에 대해 전처리 및 3 레벨 가우스 피라미드(Gaussian pyramid)변환과 왈쉬(Walsh)변환을 하고, 출력되는 결(texture) 정보를 평활화 및 이진화를하여 해밍거리(Hamming Distance)를 계산하였다. 여기서 얻은 결 정보에 대한 해밍거리 변화율은 인식을 위한 매칭 변수로 사용하였다. 이러한 비교를 위해 이미지를 전처리하여 잡음을 제거하고, 대비를 개선한 후 각 이미지를 이진화 이미지로 만든 다음 세선화 처리를 하였다. 3 레벨 가우스 피라미드 변환은 이미지의 크기를 1/8로 축소하며, 해밍거리 변화율은 타인 수락율(FAR: False Acceptance Ratio)과 본인 거부율 (FRR: False Rejection Ratio)계산에 사용하였다. 그 결과 손상된 동일 지문에 대한 본인 거부율은 -20% 내외이었으며, 타인수락율은 -50%가 되어 지문이 일부 손상되었어도 결 무늬에 대한 해밍거리는 인식의 특성 벡터로 사용할 수 있음을 알 수 있다.

The damage curves for the 2-story shear building to the impulsive rectangular loads were established with the peak load and Impulse ratio producing the critical displacement. The convolution integrations with the Impulse response matrix and the loads were used to find the responses of the building. The impulse response matrix required in the calculations of the convolution integration were found with the mode superposition method It is shown from the established damage curves that the responses of the top and bottom floor are sensitive to the magnitude and the impulse of the loads respectively.
