This study proposed detection method of Marine debris using unmanned aerial photography. For unmanned aerial photography, a RC(Radio Control) helicopter which has good movability and economics was used. To a camera mounting, a gimbal equipment was attached to the bottom of the RC helicopter. The gimbal equipment is very useful because it is not seriously affected by vibration and rolling. In addition, we invented that digital image processing algorithm using Matlab program for detection of marine debris from photographs. Particularly, background subtraction in invented algorithm was applied. As a result, marine debris of a variety of forms from different sand states of coast were reliably detected. In the future, monitoring using proposed method was expected to contribute that the solution to representative problem of monitoring area selecting and estimate the total litter mass over the beach. Moreover, It is considered a greater application possibility to marine environmental observations.

This study aims to determine the cause of structural defects occurring during aircraft operations and to verify the structural integrity of the improved features. The fracture plane was analyzed to verify the characteristics of the cracks and the fatigue failure leading to the final fracture was determined by the progress of the cracks by the repeated load. During aircraft operations, the comparative analysis of the load measurement data at the cracks with the aircraft design load determined that the measured load was not at the level of 30% of the design to be capable of being damaged. A gap analysis resulted in a significant stress of approximately 32 ksi at the crack site. Pre-Load testing also confirmed that the M.S. was reduced by more than 50% from +0.71 to +0.43, resulting in a sharp increase in aircraft load and the possibility of cracking when combined. Thus, structural reinforcement and the removal of the gap for aircraft cracking sites improved the defect. Based on the structural strength analysis of the improvement features, the bulkhead has a margin of about +0.88 and the fitting feature is about +0.48 versus allowable stress. In addition, the life analysis results revealed an improvement of approximately 84000 hours.

Citrin deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene on chromosome 7q21.3, and a type of urea cycle disorder that causes hyperammonemia. Although neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis and adult-onset type II citrullinemia, a type of citrin deficiency, have been described well in many articles for several decades, failure to thrive and dyslipidemia caused by citrin deficiency (FTTDCD), the other type of citrin deficiency, has been only identified recently. There was previously no case report about FTTDCD in Korea. Patients with FTTDCD could present with loss of appetite, fatigue, failure to thrive, hypoglycemia, hypercitrullinemia, dyslipidemia, and an increased lactate/pyruvate ratio. Routine evaluation may not reveal the cause of hypoglycemia caused by citrin deficiency. We recently had a case that presented with recurrent hypoglycemia in a 30-month-old boy. Chemistry profiling, urine organic acid analysis, plasma acylcarnitine analysis, and hormone studies indicated values within the normal range or non-specific findings. Mutation analysis to identify the cause of hypoglycemia identified the subject as a compound heterozygote carrying each of the c.852_855del ($p.Met285Profs^*2$), and c.1177+1G>A mutant alleles. We report here on this unusual case of citrin deficiency presenting with FTTDCD for the first time in Korea.

Gaucher disease (GD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by beta-glucosidase deficiency. An 18 month-old male with hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and growth retardation referred to our hospital. The patient showed neurological symptoms, such as supranuclear gaze palsy and developmental delay. Bone marrow biopsy performed to rule out malignancy and the results revealed no malignant cell; however, abnormal histiocytes suggesting storage disease was noted. Based on hepatosplenomegaly, bicytopenia and unexplained neurologic manifestations, enzyme activity and genetic analysis were conducted emergently with a strong suspicion of GD. Beta-glucosidase activity in leukocyte was decreased. GBA sequencing to confirm the diagnosis revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic variants (i.e., c.754T>A, c.887G>A), both previously reported as the cause of neuronopathic GD. Under the diagnosis of type 3 GD, the patient immediately received enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). After 17 months of ERT, the size of spleen decreased, and hemoglobin and platelet count returned to normal. In addition, the activity of chitotriosidase and angiotensin converting enzyme decreased. However, myoclonic movement and generalized seizure occurred at the age of 19 months and antiepileptic drug was started. Other neurological deterioration including supranuclear gaze palsy and developmental delay also persisted. A new therapy to overcome neurologic problems should be developed for patients with type 3 GD.

Recently, the development of underground structures is to be inevitably necessary due to the increase in population and traffic volume that has caused to the limit of urban land use and the heavy traffic jams. Therefore, underground structures such as subway, underground shopping centers, lifeline facilities and so on, have been increasingly constructed, On the other hand, several social problems have occurred during construction, i.e., ground subsidence, noise, and vibration. Therefore, safer and more beneficial methods for underground construction are on the demand. In this research, N.T.R.(New Tubular Roof) method has been modified and utilized for solving those problems and overcoming the difficulties connected with the bored tunnel construction of large underground openings in unfavorable ground, often under the water table, and with overburdens that are too shallow to solve problems of stability using traditional methods. The N.T.R. method has been modified to suit for Korean geotechnical conditions, and was made up for the weak points-the water leakage from walls and tops, the maintenance and the lack of stability-of the conventional methods. This paper dealt with the features and the applicability of N.T.R. Method based on the results from numerical analysis and data from in-situ monitoring system.

고온의 연소가스로부터 노즐 표면을 보호하기 위하여 슬롯을 통하여 냉각 유체를 분사하는 슬롯 막냉각에 대하여 연구하였다. 냉각효율 및 열전달 특성은 주유동과 2차 유동의 분사율에 따라 크게 달라지며, 형상변화 및 유동가속에 의해서도 냉각 효과의 변화를 가져오게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실험을 통하여 면적비가 16:1인 축소노즐에서 압축성 효과를 배제할 수 있는 유동속도 범위 내에서 분사율 변화(0.5 $\leq$ M $\leq$ 3.0)에 따른 슬롯 막냉각 열전달 특성을 고찰하고, 평판 슬롯 막냉각 경험식의 결과와 비교하였으며, 수치해석을 통하여 축소노즐과 원형관에서의 냉각효율 및 열전달 특성을 비교함으로서 이를 검증하였다. 축소노즐에서의 슬롯 막냉각 열전달 특성은 단열벽면조건을 형성하여 노즐 표면을 따라 설치된 열전대를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 상대적으로 낮은 분사율(M=0.5, 1.0)에서 분사율 증가에 따른 냉각효율의 증가가 크게 나타났으며, 분사율이 높아짐(M $\geq$ 2.0)에 따라 냉각효율의 증가폭이 점점 감소하고, 일정 분사율 이상에서는 냉각 효율의 증가가 크게 둔화되었다. 분사율이 낮을 경우 평판 슬롯 막냉각 경험식으로 주어진 결과보다 상류에서는 높으나 하류로 진행하면 비슷한 냉각효율을 보였고, 분사율이 높은 경우 평판보다 전 범위에서 약간 높은 냉각효율을 나타냈다. 수치해석 결과에서는 분사율이 낮을 경우 축소노즐의 냉각효율이 원형관에서의 냉각효율 보다 낮거나 비슷하게 나타났으며, 분사율이 높아짐에 따라 축소노즐에서의 냉각효율이 오히려 높아지는 것으로 나타났다.타내었다. 액체 제트의 속도는 처음에는 일정하게 유지되다가 운동량을 보존하기 위해 가스로부터 운동량을 받아 점차 가속되어지는 것으로 나타났다.본 규격은 키, 총장, 어깨길이, 등길이, 머리길이, 머리둘레, 진동둘레, 목둘레, 가슴둘레, 허리둘레, 배둘레, 엉덩이둘레, 앞품, 뒤품, drop치를 포함하고 있고, 각 규격에서 호칭간 치수 간격도 함께 제시하고 있다. 본 연구 결과에서 보듯, 현행 8규격의 무진복의 각 호칭간 적정 허용범위를 고려해 합리적인 치수체계를 정립한다면 치수에 대한 적합도가 상당히 증가할 뿐 아니라 생산비용도 상당히 감축할 것으로 생각된다.나타났다. 4) 호감적 서비스능력 차원에서 세 독립변수간에 유의한 3원 상호작용이 존재하는 것으로 나타나( $F_{2,228}$=15.62, P<.001) 20대에 적합한 의복 착용시( $F_{2,228}$=3.98, P<.05)와 60대에 적합한 의복 착용시( $F_{2,228}$=16.55, P<.001) 점포유형과 격식차림간에는 유의한 상호작용이 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 5) 호감을 구성하는 세 요인들이 구매의도에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 호감적 인상차원은 29%(P<.001), 호감적 서비스능력차원은 6%(P<.001)의 구매의도를 설명해 주는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과 노년 소비자에게 호감을 주는 판매원의 외모는 구매의도에 영향을 주어 실버의류산업의 이익증대와 밀접한 연관을 갖는 서비스품질의 중요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다.중요한 요인으로 밝혀졌다.로운 단백질 EPSPS가 다른 여러 식물에 이미 존재하고 있는 단백질로서 우리가 이미 이러

Tsunami take away life, wash houses away and bring devastation to social infrastructures such as breakwaters, bridges and ports. The targeted coastal structure object in this study can be damaged mainly by the tsunami force together with foundation ground failure due to scouring and liquefaction. The increase of excess pore water pressure composed of oscillatory and residual components may reduce effective stress and, consequently, the seabed may liquefy. If liquefaction occurs in the seabed, the structure may sink, overturn, and eventually increase the failure potential. In this study, the solitary wave was generated using 2D-NIT(Two-Dimensional Numerical Irregular wave Tank) model, and the dynamic wave pressure acting on the seabed and the estimated surface boundary of the vertical revetment. Simulation results were used as an input data in a finite element computer program(FLIP) for elasto-plastic seabed response. The time and spatial variations in excess pore water pressure, effective stress, seabed deformation, structure displacement and liquefaction potential in the seabed were estimated. From the results of the analysis, the stability of the vertical revetment was evaluated.

The finding of long lived free radicals produced by ionizing radiation in organic crystals and the quantification of this effect by electron spin resonance(ESR) spactroscopy has proven excellent dosimetric applicability. The tissue equivalent alanine dosimeter also appear appropriate for radiation therapy level dosimetry. The dose measurement was performed in a Rando phantom using high energy photons as produced by high energy medical linear accelerator and cobalt-60 teletherapy unit. The absorbed dose range of the ESR/alanine dosimetry system could be extended down to 0.1 Gy. The response of the alanine dosimeters was determined for photons at different therapeutic dose levels from less than 0.1 Gy to 100 Gy and the depth dose measurements were carried out for photon energies of 1.25MeV, 6 and 10 MV with alanine dosimeters in Rando phantom. Comparisons between ESR/alanine in a Rando phantom and ion chamber in a water phantom were made performing depth dose measurements to examine the agreement of both methods under field conditions.

With the three dimensional magnetic field measuring system dealt with in this paper, accurate measurements and analyses of extremely low frequency(ELF) magnetic fields caused by starting and/or operating electric devices and power installations can be conducted. To obtain high performance for lower frequency and spatial components without any distortion, the measuring system is designed as three dimensionally including the multiturn loop-type magnetic field sensors, differential amplifiers and active integrators. As the results of calibration experiments, the frequency response characteristics of the measuring system range from 8[Hz] to about 53[kHz] for each direction of x, y, z axes, and the response sensitivities are 9.54, 9.21, $10.89[mV/{\mu}T]$, respectively. The actual survey experiments by using an oscillating impulse current generator confirm a reliability of the proposed measuring system. Also, through the other experiments by using small-sized induction motors, the magnetic field intensities when starting and steady-state operating mark 15.8, $8.61[{\mu}T]$ as maximum value, respectively. And those intensities decrease steeply according as the measuring distance increases.

Polycarbonate (PC)/graphene oxide (GO) composites with 3 phr of GO were prepared by using a twin screw extruder at 240, 260, and $280^{\circ}C$ after mixing the solution with chloroform. It was confirmed by DSC and TGA that the glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of PC/GO composites were not changed and the thermal stability was the best in case of the extrusion temperature at $260^{\circ}C$. Thermo mechanical properties of PC/GO composites according to extrusion temperatures were measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Storage moduli of PC/GO composites were higher than that of pure PC and there was no detectable changes at varying the extrusion temperature. Based on these results, the extrusion temperature of PC/GO composites was fixed at $260^{\circ}C$. The degree of the chemical reaction of PC/GO composites with respect to the GO reduction time was confirmed by the C-H stretching peak at $3000cm^{-1}$ and the degree of the chemical reaction was similar to that of GO when the reduction time was 1 h. A decrease in the complex viscosity as a function of the GO reduction time was detected by dynamic rheometer, which may be originated from the enhancement of GO dispersion by PC-GO reaction. The GO dispersion was confirmed by scanning electron microscope (SEM).
