The most urgent requirement in the event of disaster and fire in a skyscraper is to establish a system that enables people inside to evacuate safely. Hence, a practical direction needs to give evacuees confidence in the evacuation by reducing the psychological anxiety caused by the relatively large number of people inside and at the same time, the physically prolonged evacuation travel line. Evacuation tests with large numbers of people were conducted three times to solve these challenges and identify phenomena and issues that occurred during the experiment. The results revealed the factors that could cause a delay in evacuation and suggested improvements. The study results of this paper are as follows. First, a recent fire at a multipurpose high-rise resulted in a number of casualties due to a lack of experience with the disaster prevention system. To prevent such cases from occurring in advance, adaptability was achieved by conducting evacuation tests. Second, the data collected in the evacuation simulation statistics and the actual escape drills were compared and analyzed. Third, in the evacuation experiment, a large number of people could not participate in the experiment. The reasons for not participating were analyzed and their impact on the actual evacuation time was confirmed. Fourth, equipment aids were purchased to establish the optimal response measure to the causes of a delay in escape time and the standards for ensuring the safety of the evacuee were specified by developing improvements to minimize the evacuation delay time through comparative before and after analysis of the experiment. These results can be used for fire safety control of skyscrapers to improve the efficiency of evacuation.

하상유지시설의 하류에 설치되는 바닥보호공은 국내의 경우 일반적으로 사석(riprap)이나 돌망태(gabion mattress) 등을 이용하여 시공되고 있으며, 바닥보호공에 사용되는 재료는 유속에 따라 적절한 입경의 재료를 결정하여 사용하게 된다. 1970년대 중반부터 적절한 하상보호공 재료를 결정하기 위한 연구는 사석, 돌망태, 콘크리트 보호 블록 등에 대하여 순차적으로 이루어져 왔다, 초기 연구는 주로 사석에 대해서 이루어졌으며, 중량과 유속 관계를 이용하여 사석 입경 결정 공식을 제안하였으며, 점차 수심 및 하상 경사, 난류 강도 등을 고려하여 재료 입경 결정 공식을 정밀화시켜왔다. 공식에 난류 강도를 고려하기 시작하면서, 단순한 하상보호공 재료를 결정하기 위해서 제안되었던 공식들은 하천 구조물 하류에 설치되는 바닥보호공으로 관심의 대상이 옮겨가기 시작하였다. 기존의 공식들이 일반적인 평탄한 하상보호공으로부터 구조물 하류의 바닥보호공 까지 그 적용이 확장되었던 반면에, Escarameia와 May는 연구의 대상을 수리구조물 하류의 강한 난류 흐름이 발생하는 구간으로 범위를 한정하여 연구를 진행하였으며, Izbash 형태의 식을 기초로 하여, 난류 강도가 주요 변수가 되는 입경 결정 공식을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서는 Escarameia와 May의 연구 결과를 기초로 하여, 국내 하상유지시설 하류에 설치되는 사석 바닥보호공 재료의 입경을 결정하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 하천설계기준을 만족하는 실험용 보를 설치한 후 유량 및 실험에 사용된 사석의 입경을 변화시키면서, 유속을 측정하여, 입경별 한계 유속(threshold velocity)의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 실험 결과, Escarameia와 May가 제안한 공식을 더 확장하여 적용할 수 있는 실험 공식으로 개선하였으며 다양한 조건에 대한 실험을 수행하여 보다 정밀한 공식으로 개선할 수 있었다.$10,924m^3/s$ 및 $10,075m^3/s$로서 실험 I의 $2,757m^3/s$에 비해 통수능이 많이 개선되었음을 알 수 있다.함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.8R(mm)(r^2=0.84)$로 지수적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 유거수량은 토성별로 양토를 1.0으로 기준할 때 사양토가 0.86으로 가장 작았고, 식양토 1.09, 식토 1.15로 평가되어 침투수에 비해 토성별 차이가 크게 나타났다. 이는 토성이 세립질일 수록 유거수의 저항이 작기 때문으로 생각된다. 경사에 따라서는 경사도가 증가할수록 증가하였으며 $10\% 경사일 때를 기준으로 $Ro(mm)=Ro_{10}{\times}0.797{\times}e^{-0.021s(\%)}$로 나타났다.천성 승모판 폐쇄 부전등을 초래하는 심각한 선천성 심질환이다. 그러나 진단 즉시 직접 좌관상동맥-대동맥 이식술로 수술적 교정을 해줌으로써 좋은 성적을 기대할 수 있음을 보여주었다.특히 교사들이 중요하게 인식하는 해방적 행동에 대한 목표를 강조하여 적용할 필요가 있음을 시사하고 있다.교하여 유의한 차이가 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 HSP 환자군에서도

In this study, experimental research was carried out to evaluate and improve the seismic performance of reinforced concrete beam-column joint regions using strengthening materials (embedded CFRP rod and CFRP sheet) in existing reinforced concrete building. Therefore it was constructed and tested six specimens retrofitting the beam-column joint regions using such retrofitting materials. Specimens, designed by retrofitting the beam-column joint regions of existing reinforced concrete building, were showed the stable failure mode and increase of load-carrying capacity due to the effect of crack control at the times of initial loading and confinement of retrofitting materials during testing. Specimens RBCJ-SRC2, designed by the retrofitting of CFRP Rod and CFRP Sheet in reinforecd beam-column joint regions were increased its maximum load carrying capacity by 1.97 times and its energy dissipation capacity by 2.08 times in comparison with standard specimen RBCJ for a displacement ductility of 4 and 7. Also, specimens RBCJ-SRC2 were increased its maximum load carrying capacity by 1.09~1.11 times in comparison with specimen RBCJ-SR series. And Specimens RBCJ-CS, RBCJ-SR series, RBCJ-SRC2 were increased its energy dissipation capacity by 1.10~2.30 times in comparison with standard specimen RBCJ for a displacement ductility of 5, 6.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Plantago asiatica L. extract on anti oxidative potential, free radical generation and the lipid levels in rats. Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were divided into two groups based on their diet, as follows: the AIN-76 diet (control group), and the modified AIN-76 diet(cholesterol 0.5%) with 0.5% P. asiatica extract, for 7 weeks. The body weight and teed efficiency ratios of the two groups did not significantly differ. The antioxidative potentials more significantly increased in the group that was fed P. asiatica extract than in the control group(p<0.05). There was no difference in the rate of free radical generation, though. The weights of the organs, such as heart, kidney, liver, and spleen, of the rats in the two groups did not differ, though. The ratio of the HDL cholesterol to the total cholesterol in the P. asiatica group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and the other serum lipid parameters (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipids) did not differ between the two groups. These results imply that supplementation with P. asiatica extract may improve the antioxidant potential and decrease the lipid levels in the blood.

Animal glue, a water-soluble adhesive, has been used historically for high-performance traditional furniture despite the disadvantage of weakness against moisture. Many scientists studied the ways to improve water resistance of animal glue. Improvements on the interfacial, thermal, and water resistance properties of wood sandwich composites (WSC) was studied with carbon nanotube (CNT) wt% in animal glue. Real-time temperature of WSC was measured after WSC was heated with increasing CNT wt%. Lap shear test was performed to determine the interfacial properties of wood and animal glue with CNTs. Water resistance properties of animal glue were determined by lap shear test using specimens dipped in water and the results were compared with the dry case. Hydrophobicity of animal glue by static contact angle was correlated with the variation of lap shear test. Interfacial, thermal, and water resistance properties for animal glue were improved with properly added CNTs.

Drive-train friction loss in a vehicle may account for 4% of its total fuel consumption loss. An ATF W/C (auto-transmission fluid warmer/cooler) plate-fin heat exchanger is a type of heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between the auto-transmission fluid and coolant. The use of an ATF W/C heat exchanger can result in a fuel economy improvement of about 1% in vehicles. An experimental setup for testing the thermal performance of an ATF W/C plate-fin heat exchanger is developed. In this study, the influence of the ATF and coolant, flow rates, and temperature on the efficiency of an ATF W/C heat exchanger are investigated experimentally. From the experimental data, a simple correlation for predicting the efficiency of an ATF W/C heat exchanger is proposed. On the basis of this correlation, the fuel economy of a vehicle with and without an ATF W/C heat exchanger is compared by using Simulink. Finally, it is shown that the fuel economy is improved by 0.992% when an ATF W/C heat exchanger is installed in the vehicle.

Currently a number of managers exist to manage heterogeneous networks, in this situation, the NETCONF protocol for efficient network management has been proposed as a new protocol. However, the standard NETCONF protocol stack continuous improvement since the establishment but in four layers still have some problems. Especially in situations where there are multiple administrators, problems are more highlighted in operation layer. In this paper, we focus on these issues and the Operation layer has improved the efficiency and flexibility of operations among NETCONF four layers. Additionally, for the inefficiency of updates improved the device settings based on improved operation techniques. In addition, standard protocol NETCONF did not proposed content layer data structure and we propose standard technique of content layer that can generate configuration structure of devices. Improved the three techniques are applied appropriately to the NETCONF, the proposed method and the existing NETCONF was performed experiment to compare with experimental four factors. Compare key factor are four kind as maintaining the probability of network function, the reaction performance about command, the number of control packets, performance of data creation in content layer. Such factors after performing the experiment, the proposed method in this paper is superior to the existing NETCONF and there was confirmed by analysis Experimental results.

The purpose of this study was to analyze experiments for the rules of material change unit in 9th grade science textbooks and develop experiments applying small-scale chemistry (SSC). For this study, experimental methods for the precipitation experiment, water electrolysis experiment, decomposition of hydrogen peroxide experiment presented in the 9 science textbooks were analyzed. Problems and improvements that were needed were extracted by 13 science teachers performing the experiments. Experiments applying SSC were developed based on the improvements needed. Afterwards, 19 pre-service science teachers performed both the developed SSC experiments and the science textbooks' experiments. A questionnaire about merits and demerits of the experiments applying SSC was performed. According to the results of this study, most of the 9th grade science textbooks included the lead iodide precipitation experiment, water electrolysis experiment by Hoffman voltameter, and decomposition of hydrogen peroxide experiment using catalytic manganese dioxide. Improvements were needed on the quantity of reagents, time for performing experiments, and scale of experimental apparatus. Merits of the developed experiments applying SSC which used small amount of reagents were safety, easy waste material disposal, short reaction time, and reproducible experimental results. Demerits of the experiments applying SSC were difficulty in observing, decreased achievement, and lack of skill in handling small-scale apparatus. Therefore, if the experiments developed applying SSC were to be utilized in 9th grade science experiments, it will be possible to use less reagent and be able to teach and carry out reproducible experiments at the same time. Also, the reproducible experiments based on SSC will help students under stand the scientific concepts for the rules of material change unit.

In this study, a test was conducted to examine the effects of micro-needle therapy (MTS) and cosmetics containing spirulina on improving the skin tone, skin hydration, hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines of middle-aged women in their 40s and 50s and to propose an effective skin care method. The subjects were divided into a control group of eight people who used serum and cream mask that does not contain MTS and spirulina, and an experimental group who used serum and cream containing MTS and spirulina. The test was conducted with six 30-minute sessions for one week. The change in skin was measured over three times in the week of the test, after six weeks of the test, and two weeks after the test had finished. The result showed that after six weeks of the test, in the experimental group, the skin tone (color brightness, saturation brightness, skin brightness) and moisture showed a significant increase (p<0.05), while the number of small hyper-pigmentation and large hyper-pigmentation, as well as the length of crow's feet, melanin, erythema showed a significant reduction (p<0.05). No significant differences in fine lines under the eyes and length of crow's feet were observed. Two weeks after the test was finished, the experimental group showed a significant decrease in the length of crow's feet and melanin (p<0.05), and a significant increase in skin brightness and moisture (p<0.05). Even after the test was completed, the skin brightness, fine lines, melanin, and moisture improved continuously. In conclusion, skin care using MTS and cosmetics containing spirulina was more effective on improving the skin tone, hydration, hyper-pigmentation, and fine lines, than skin care without using them.

The purposes of this study are to analyze the learning contents on the measurement of reaction rate which is introduced in the high school ‘science’ and ‘chemistry II’ textbooks, and to revise the experiment appropriate to the learning contents. We examined 11 kinds of ‘science’ textbooks, 8 kinds of ‘chemistry II’ textbooks and 11 kinds of teacher’s manuals used in Korea and additionally surveyed teachers’ opinions on this subject. Most of textbook and teacher’s manuals described that ‘the reaction rate generally decreases through the time’, teachers’ conception also agreed with it. But most of experimental activities in the textbooks were inadequate to explain the concept that the reaction rate generally decreases with time. We analyzed the reasons and revised the experimental condition to solve this disagreement between the description in textbooks and an experimental result. Then we compared improved experimental result and theoretical prediction data. The improved experiment in this study is expected to help to describe the conception of chemical reaction rate in the textbook more clearly.
