The objective of this work is to obtain the experimental data for the heat transfer processes occurring both on the inside and outside surfaces of containment steel wall with dry and wet outer surface conditions in the passive containment cooling system. The test model represented a 60$^{\circ}$ section of a containment vessel based on the AP 600 geometry. Major linear dimensions of the test model ore reduced tv a factor of ten. To simulate the decay heat a steam generator heated by electricity was placed in the test model. The maximum heat flux was 8.91 kW/$m^2$. Two types of tests were performed. The one was the tort on the natural convection of air without water film flow. The other was the evaporative heat transfer test with the falling water film flow and natural air draft. no test result shooed that the heat transfer capability by the natural convection from the containment to the air without oater film flow was limited at about 1.48 kW/$m^2$ heat flux. It was found that the heat removal capability was remarkably enhanced in the tests with the waster film flow and air draft. The obtained heat transfer data ore compared with the existing correlations.

Purpose : To describe the clinical, MR imaging, and pathologic findings of pediatric meningiomas. Materials and Methods : The authors retrospectively reviewed the medical records and MR images of 16 pediatric patients with pathologically proven meningioma. Mean patient age at diagnosis was 14 years (range, 3-18). MR images were reviewed for details of lesion sizes, locations, signal intensity (SI), marginal characteristics, internal architectures, enhancements, and dural and parenchymal changes. The findings of other imaging modalities and of pathological examinations were also analyzed. Results : Mean tumor size was 5.24 cm (range, 1.3-18.1 cm) and locations were supratentorial in 12 and infratentorial in 4. SI of masses were variable, that is, high in 9, iso in 4, and low in 3 on T2 weighted images (T2WI), and low (n=11), iso (n=4), or high (n=1) on T1WI images. All lesions were visualized as well-demarcated enhancing masses. Five of the tumors were heterogeneous with cystic or necrotic components. Dural attachment was observed in 11 patients and adjacent brain edema in 10. Tumors exhibited hyperdense (n=6) or isodense (n=4) on non-enhanced CT scans, and 3 of the 7 angiograms demonstrated blood supply from the internal carotid artery. Pathologic examinations revealed the following subtypes; transitional cell (n=4), meningotheliomatous (n=4), chordoid (n=2), fibrous (n=2), clear cell (n=1), hyalinized (n=1), rhabdoid papillary (n=1), and atypical (n=1). Conclusion : Pediatric meningiomas occur usually in teenagers, have diverse pathological types, and may produce atypical imaging findings, such as, a heterogeneous internal content or findings suggestive of intraaxial tumors.

Black cobalt solar selective coatings were prepared by thermal oxidation of electroplated cobalt metal on copper and nickel substrates. The optical properties and structure of the black cobalt selective coating for solar energy utilizations were characterized by glow discharge spectrometry (GDS), ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-VIS-NIR) spectrometer, atom force microscopy(AFM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The optical properties of optimum black cobalt selective coating prepared on copper substrate were a solar absorptance of 0.82 and a thermal emittance of 0.01. From the GDS depth profile analysis of these coatings, the concentration of cobalt particles near the interface was higher than at the surface, but oxygen concentration at the surface was higher than at the interface. These results suggest that the selective absorption was dominated by this chemical composition variation in the coating. The surface of this film exhibited morphology with root-mean-square(rms) roughness of about 144.3nm. XPS measurements data showed that several phases of Co coexist($Co_3O_4$,CoO) in the film.

The Sangdae-ri riverside around Musimcheon stream, flowing through Gadeok-myon of Cheongju City, is one of the representative strawberry fields employing water curtain cultivation (WCC) in Korea. In this area, annual groundwater use for WCC has been calculated by a few methods. On the assumption that all the water flowing through the final ditch may be mostly composed of groundwater, the discharge rate in it can be used as a good proxy for assessing the groundwater use. However, in the study area, the final ditch was set up in an unpaved state near and parallel to Musimcheon stream. Under such circumstances, the drainwater is likely to be influenced by infiltration and/or inflow of nearby stream. Hence, we examined whether or not stream water has influenced water flowing out through the final ditch in respect of ion concentrations or field parameters such as T, pH and electrical conductivity (EC) values. The period of measuring field parameters and sample collection was from February 2012 through February 2015. The drainwater in the final ditch did not show the average quality of groundwater, but similar quality of stream water in respect of pH, EC, ion contents and water type. From this, it is suggested that measuring the flow rate of the final ditch should not be directly used for assessing groundwater use in the study area. In addition, because of its sensitivity to ambient temperature, water temperature proved not to be appropriate for estimating the interaction between ditch and stream. For accuracy, additional methods will be needed to calculate mixing ratios between stream and ground water within drainage system.

With the development of media, modern times are actively exchanging cultures and information around the world. Therefore, product development using traditional material, which are Korean cultural heritages, can be said to be another medium that can promote our unique culture to the world. Therefore, this study attempted to develop a product suitable for the modern lifestyle that combines tradition and modernity by investigating and analyzing Korean roof tiles and applying the formative elements identified as a result of the study. Among the types of roof tiles, a Sumaksai, which is located on the front of the roof and stands out for decoration, was selected as the subject of the study, and it was developed by combining it with lighting and plates as an item for modern people seeking a life full of personality. In product development, we tried to express the traditional style as it is by making the most of the elements of the Sumaksai, and the lotus pattern, which was most commonly used in each era when roof tiles were made, was simplified and applied to the product. As the products developed in this way are used in our daily lives, we hope that users' interest in ours will increase, and that the development of various products through research on traditional material can be activated as a way to spread our culture around the world.

Objectives : Traditionally intracranial meningiomas are regarded as benign and curable tumors. About half of all intracranial meningiomas locate in the skull base region. However, surgical removal of these tumors may be challenging and require special considerations. Here general aspects of skull base meningiomas including clinical presentation, surgical approaches, complications and their recurrence rate are discussed based on our experiences. Methods : A retrospective analysis of 61 consecutive patients with skull base meningioma among 210 patients of meningioma between 1989 and 1998 were done. Results : There were 41 women and 20 men ranging from 13 to 74 years(mean 52 years). These tumors were divided into seven categories according to location : olfactory groove(n＝9), sphenoid ridge(n＝16), cavernous sinus(n ＝2), tuberculum sellae(n＝8), tentorium(n＝13), cerebellopontine angle(n＝12), and foramen magnum meningiomas (n＝1). Surgical approaches were selected on the basis of the tumor attachment, size and extension on preoperative radiologic findings. Total removal(Simpson grade I and II) was achieved in 50 cases(82%), and subtotal removal (Simpson grade III) in 11 patients(18%). According to WHO classification, there were 52 of cases of benign meningioma( 86%), 6 atypical cases(10%), and 3 malignant cases(5%). The most common postoperative complications were CSF leakage(23.0%) and cranial nerve injury(8.2%). Three patient died related with tumor(one was due to surgical complication and the other two due to recurrence) but three patients died from other systemic causes. Mean follow-up period was 51.7 months after surgery. Recurrence occurred in six patients(10.9%) ; three with tentorial meningioma, two with sphenoid ridge, and one in cerebellopontine angle. Conclusion : With advances in neuroradiology and microsurgical techniques, the surgical outcome of miningiomas has been markedly improved with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. Overall, our surgical results of skull base meningiomas is comparable to other reports. Therefore, with the appropriate operative strategy and techniques, these tumors can be completely removed and good surgical results can be expected.

Founding himself on 'The Principle of Self-making' that is the instrument of 'the natural construction' and accomplishing the various interdisciplinary researches, Frei Otto could explicate the fundamental structure of life that is able to make visible the self-making processes in the nature, the technique and the architecture. It is the flexible pneumatic construction that is grounded on the fibrous organization. This was a milestone not only for him who wanted to put the idea of the new architectural form into practice, but also for the contemporary architecture that faces on the style-pluralistic disorientedness. The architectural form of the natural construction includes in itself three constitutional sub-ideas. One of them is 'the adaptable architecture', which is inclined to the architecture similar to the organization of human body, and the other 'the light architecture' that is in the pursuit of the optimal form through the minimal material. The last one is 'the ecological architecture' that aims to realize the optimal dwelling environment based on the effective energy consumption by accumulating knowledges of the always fluid and unstable nature. With these architectural ideas Frei Otto could develop a new architectural form language 'the light architecture of the natural construction'. This study is purposed to explain the various experiments that were made by his team and the basic principles of the structural dynamics of 'the architecture of the natural construction' and then to analyze the structures that were built on the ground of those principles.

Bentonite slurries in a slurry wall construction must fulfill a stabilizing function by forming impermeable membrane (surface cake and penetrated cake) on the excavated soil faces. Thus problems are occurring in practice for the construction of diaphram walls and cut-off walls with a low permeability for wastes disposal areas in some deep excavations or different grounds. In this paper, the fundamental mechanics of fluid loss and filter cake formation in various soil beds are investigated using large scale laboratory apparatus. The sealing efficiency of filter cake from the large scale tests and the significance of fluid loss in a slurry trench are utilized for practical situation as a recommended design procedure.

도로설계기준(2012)에 따르면 노면 배수시설은 측구, 집수정, 배수관, 배수구(빗물받이, 맨홀) 등으로 구성되며 중앙분리대 배수에서 구조가 방호벽일 경우 원칙적으로 집수정과 종배수관, 횡배수관을 설치하여 노면수를 배수한다. 최근 기후변화에 따른 국지성 집중호우로 교량 배수시설의 배수능력 부족으로 교량의 노후화, 노면의 체수와 수막현상을 야기한다. 교량 설계 시, 교량의 외관은 점배수에 의한 배수불량으로 막힘부에서의 식물생육, 부식, 배수구의 오염 등으로 심미성에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 국토교통부 도로 배수시설 설계 및 관리지침에서는 기존의 집수정으로 유도하여 배수하는 점배수 형태에서 우수의 지체시간을 저감하기 위해 배수구로 즉시 배수되어 배수 효율을 증가시켜주는 선배수시설을 권장하고 있다. 그러나 선배수 구조의 일반적인 내용만을 기술하고 있으므로 보다 상세한 설계기준이 필요하다. 또한 국내에서는 교면 배수를 위한 횡배수구의 배수능력에 관한 설계 개념은 미국의 빗물받이 설계 개념을 그대로 적용하고 있어서 교량 배수시설의 배수능력 증대를 위한 수치 및 수리실험에 관한 기술적인 자료가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 도로의 흐름해석 및 선배수를 위한 측구 횡배수관의 흐름개선에 관한 구체적인 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 배수로 전반의 유향 분석 및 횡유입관 유입부에서의 상세한 흐름해석과 통수능력을 분석하기 위해서는 수리실험을 통한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 그러나 최적 횡배수관의 형상 및 간격 설정에 대한 수리실험의 물리적 및 시간적 한계를 극복하기 위해 Fluent 모형(Ansys Workbench 13.0)을 활용한 수치모의를 수행하여 모형의 적용성을 검토하였다. 다상유동 해석을 위해 VOF(Volume of Fluid)방법을 적용하였고, 수치해석 방법으로는 비정상류, 난류 모형으로는 standard ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$모형을 적용했다. 도로 형상에 따른 우수유출량을 비교 분석하기 위하여 횡경사는 2%로 고정하고 종경사를 2%로 선정하여 수치모의를 통한 배수능력을 분석하고 설계에 직접적인 적용성을 검토하였다. 횡배수관의 간격변화 및 배수공의 위치 변화 등에 따른 차집량을 분석하였으며, 개략적인 수리실험 결과와 수치모의의 차집율을 비교 및 분석하여 Fluent 모형의 적용성을 확인하였다. 또한, 횡배수관의 유입부에서의 유속 변화 및 유출부에서의 유속이 모의가 가능하므로 배수시설에서 보다 정확한 흐름 해석이 가능하여 보다 적정한 배수능력 분석이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
