The entry compression wave, which is generated at the entrance of the tunnel, is almost always associated with the pressure transients in the tunnel as well as the impulse noise at the exit of the tunnel. It is highly required to design the train nose shape that can minimize such undesirable phenomena. The objective of the current work is to investigate the effects of the train nose shape on the entry compression wave. Numerical computations were applied to one-dimensional unsteady compressible flow in high-speed railway train/tunnel systems. A various shape of train noses were tested for a wide range of train speeds. The results showed that the strength of the entry compression wave is not influenced by the train nose shape, but the time variation of pressure in the entry compression wavefront is strongly related to the train nose shape. The current method of the characteristics was able to represent a desirable nose shape for various train speeds. Optimum nose shape was found to considerably reduce the maximum pressure gradient of the entry compression wave.

MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching)망에서 LSP(Label Switched Path)의 수와 레이블 수를 줄이는 것은 망 자원 관리 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 다중점대점(Multipoint-to-Point) LSP[1]는 이러한 요구사항으로 제안되었다. 하나의 다중점대점 LSP는 다수의 망 입구 노드로부터 하나의 망 출구 노드까지의 경로를 나타낸다. 다중 점대점 LSP는 미리 정의된 경로이다. 망 형태 정보가 빈번히 변하는 실제 망을 고려할 대 다중점대점 LSP는 경로가 신속히 재결정될 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 망의 트래픽 부하 균형을 위해 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용한 빠른 LSP 결정 방법을 제시한다. 또한 경로 결정시 Greedy 알고리즘을 사용하므로 최적의 다중점대점 LSP 결정에 접근하는 경로를 결정한다.

균열 현상은 모든 필터에서 발생하였다. 1997년 9월 원심 압축기 B에서 발생한 지나친 진동현상으로 여러 필터 중 한 필터가 부서져 임펠러 흡입부로 빨려 들어갔다. 1997년 10월 기동중에 선회실속 문제가 임펠러에서 발생하였고, 이 원인은 임펠러 eye가 부분적으로 막혔기 때문이었다. 압축기 입구와 출구의 전체 유량과 압력 상태는 정상이었기 때문에 어떠한 서지현상도 anti-surge 시스템에 의해서 감지되지 않았다. 고장상태를 진단함으로써 압축기의 재가동을 방지하여 필터들이 부서졌다는 것을 확인하게 되었다. 이번 기계 점검과정을 통하여 원격진단의 중요성을 확인하였으며, 이에 회사는 원격서비스(remote service) 계약을 체결하여 현재 원격 진단 서비스 점검이 계약 기간에 따라 정기적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같이 기계에 대한 정기적인 점검을 실시하는 목적은 기계의 결함이나 고장문제를 조기에 발견함으로써 중대한 고장으로의 진행을 사전에 예방하거나 또는 최소화하는데 있다.

Field measurements were made for long- and short-period waves and current velocities at the harbor mouth using pressure-type wave gauges and a current meter, respectively, at the Gamcheon Harbor which has a rectangular shape with a narrow entrance. The measured pressure data were subjected to spectral analyses after removing tidal effects by applying trend removal and high-pass filtering. For the band averaging of the raw spectra, in order to obtain good resolution over the entire frequency, instead of a constant band width, variable band widths were used, which gradually increase as marching from the lowest frequency towards higher frequencies. The Helmholtz resonance mode at the Gamcheon Harbor shows the relative amplification ratio of 9.2 at the wave period of 31.7 minutes, which is quite large compared with those at the harbors located on the east coast of Korea. The second and the third resonance period was 10.3 and 5.4 minute, respectively. On the other hand, the analysis of every 24 hours data shows that during storms the spectral densities are very large compared to those during calm seas and also the second and third resonances are predominant.

Background: Stenosis of the left pulmonary artery (LPA) after repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is troublesome. A new technique of LPA angioplasty using an autologous MPA flap was performed in patients with TOF Material and Method: From October 1998 to January 2001, 24 patients (median age; 10 months, range; 4 to 145 months) underwent total correction of TOF with LPA angioplasty using the autologous MPA flap. Five patients underwent pulmonary angioplasty without any patch over the MPA and LPA. The patches were required to enlarge only the MPA in 4 patients, and transannular RVOT widening was performed in 15. Result: There were no operative or late deaths. During follow-up (range: 6~42 months), reoperation for LPA stenosis was not required in any patients, but balloon angioplasty for branch pulmonary artery stenosis was performed in 3 patients. Echocardiography and CT angiography at the recent follow-up showed an obtuse angle between the MPA and LPA. Conclusion: Although further follow-up is needed, the angioplasty using the autologous MPA flap can be easily performed, avoiding patch-related complications, and allowing growth of the MPA flap. This angioplasty technique creates a more natural and obtuse angle between the MPA and LPA, which can minimize kinking of the LPA, especially in the patients who underwent transannular patch widening.

To clarify the formation process and characteristics of oxygen deficient water mass in Gamak Bay, oxygen deficiency was weekly observed from 17 June to 12 September 2005. Surface water temperature was significantly lower in the outer bay than in the inner bay, whereas the bottom water temperature was higher in the central area of bay than in the outer and inner bay. The vertical stratification of water mass was strongly formed during the period, and thermocline was observed between 3 and 5m deep. The oxygen deficiency in the bottom layer began to appear at early July in the inner bay and gradually spread to the center area of the bay in early August. The mean transparency and light attenuation coefficient($K_d$) in water mass was 4.0m and 0.47, respectively. Average concentrations of nutrient and chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ in the bottom layer were significantly higher than those in surface, and those concentrations were significantly higher in the inner bay than in the outer bay. During the formation of oxygen deficiency in the bottom layer, oxygen penetration depth in the bottom sediment were extremely shallow, and oxygen consumption rate in the bottom sediment were lower than that in the area where oxygen deficient water mass disappeared. Dissolved oxygen concentrations in the bottom layer are negatively correlated with nutrient concentrations, whereas those in the surface layer did not show a significant relationship with nutrient concentrations. Elevated loss of oxygen in the bottom water mass was attributed to the increase of the oxygen consumption rates in sediments and the decomposition of organic matter by microorganism.

Purpose : Endoscopic carpal tunnel release technique was developed and has being used to decrease postoperative morbidity and complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical results and clinical usefulness of endoscopic carpal tunnel release using single portal technique. Methods and Materials : 18 carpal tunnel syndrome patients who were diagnosed by means of clinical symptoms, physical examination, and electrodiagnostic study had endoscopic carpal tunnel release using single portal technique with about 1 cm oblique wrist incision on 30 hands. And then they were followed-up and reviewed in the same way. Late results of operation were analysed by grading system according to patient's own assessments of relief of symptoms at the final fellow-up. The follow-up period ranged 6 to 13 months from surgery. Results : There were postoperative improvements with respect to clinical symptoms, physical examination, and electrodiagnostic study. 23 of 30 hands$(76.7\%)$ had complete resolution of symptoms. 27 hands$(90\%)$ were able to return to normal activities and work within 6 weeks, and 30 hands$(100\%)$ returned within 8 weeks. In grip strength study, 29 hands$(96.6\%)$ regained preoperative strength in 6 months. 12 of 22 hands$(55\%)$ had improvement with respect to thenar atrophy within 6 months. Late results were as follows . 23 hands$(76.7\%)$ was graded as excellent, 6 hands$(20\%)$ graded as good and 1 hand$(3.3\%)$ graded as fair, and there was no poor result. Conclusion : We think that endoscopic carpal tunnel release with single portal technique is technically safe and simple, if the surgeon takes step to stay within the safety zone based on local anatomy and selects an appropriate patient and that endoscopic carpal tunnel release does have advantages over open release. We agree that the surgeon must be prepared to perform an open technique, if technical difficulties arise, difficulty in introducing the device into the carpal tunnel is encountered, or the transverse fibers of the transverse carpal ligaments are not clearly seen.

This study was carried out to investigate spatio-temporal variations of benthic environment and macrobenthic polychaete communities in Gamak Bay where excessive organic matters from untreated sewage effluents and fish and shellfish farming activities have been accumulated in certain regions. Such environmental variables as sediment composition, organic content, acid volatile sulfide and dissolved oxygen content etc. were measured and polychaete specimens were taken in September 1999 and February 2000. In September 1999, organic contents were up to three times higher in the northwestern part of the bay and the area closed to Gukdong harbor than in the rest of the bay. In particular, benthic environment of the northwestern part of the bay was extremely deteriorated by the occurrence of hypoxia and highly concentrated sulfide. Of 28 stations investigated in summer, 5 stations located in the northwestern part were azoic. In the rest of the stations, a total of 119 polychaete species were sampled with a mean density of 900 $ind./m^2$. While species richness was higher in the entrance and central part of the bay where water exchanges with open sea were relatively active, density was higher in the moderately enriched stations neighbouring Gukdong harbor and fish farms where such potential indicators of organic pollution as Aphelochaeta monilaris, Lumbrineris longifolia were largely dominant. In February 2000, a total of 81 polychaete species appeared with a mean density of 2,802 $ind./m^2$ from 12 stations sampled in winter. Azoic areas were recolonized by Capitella capitata, Pseudopolydora paucibranchiata and Dipolydora socialis which showed maximum density in the innermost station. On the other hand, the rest of the stations were dominated by Euchone alicaudata and Praxillella affinis. The configuration of the stations sampled in summer and winter on the multidimensional scaling plots reflected the position of each stations within the bay in which there were great differences in organic content, sulfide concentration and oxygen content rather than in sediment composition. Therefore, heterogeneities in polychaete community structure in Gamak Bay were primarily influenced by the degree of the disturbance depending on the position within the bay.
