Sixteen-day-old baby with severe Ebstein anomaly underwent emergency operation to relieve progressive hypoxia and congestive heart failure. Operative findings showed huge right atrium and atrialized right ventricle (aRV) with very small functional RV by distal displacemcent of tricuspid valve mechanism. We elected to perform modified Starness operation because biventricular repair was deemed unattainable. After pulmonary and tricuspid valves were primarily closed, aRV was obliterated with multiple sutures from RV apex to the base. Then a PTFE (Gore-Tex, USA) vascular graft was interposed between innominate artery and main pulmonary artery for systemic to pulmonary shunt. The patient was discharged uneventfully, and received bi-directional cavopulmonary shunt 6 months later.

최근 들어 전력 사용량의 증가로 인한 화력발전소의 부산물인 석탄회 중 바텀애시와 각종 공공사업과 관련하여 해마다 현장발생토의 발생량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 바텀애시와 현장발생토사를 효과적으로 재활용하는 방법 중 유동성 뒤채움재를 개발하여 활용하는 방안을 모색하기 위한 연구이다. SP로 분류된 흙 현장발생토와 서천 화력발전소에서 발생하는 석탄회 중 입경이 0.9~1.5mm의 바텀애시만을 선별하여 현장발생토와 바텀애시의 비율을 7 : 3으로 변환한 최적배합을 선정하여 강재로 제작된 가로 80cm, 세로 60cm, 높이 90cm의 모형토조를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였으며, 사용상 지하 매설이 되는 관의 거동 특성은 확인하기 위하여 내경 30cm, 두께 8mm의 연선관 중 하나인 PVC관을 원형지하매설관으로 선정하여 배합을 타설하는 과정과 타설 후 7일간의 양생기간을 거친 후 차량하중으로 가정할 수 있는 하중을 가하여 원형지하매설관의 관외부에서 수직방향과 수평방향의 토압과 관내부의 수직 수평방향 변위 그리고 관 자체의 횡 종단 변형을 측정하여 원형지하매설관의 거동특성을 파악하였다. 타설시 지하매설관은 유동성 뒤채움재의 특성으로 인하여 시간이 지남에 따라 안정화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 최대하중을 3300kgf로 하여 하중 재하 후 지하매설관의 거동특성은 대체적으로 일반 모래를 사용하여 실험한 값보다 적은 변형 특성을 보이고 있으나 수평토압의 경우 일반적인 흙의 변형과 전혀 상이한 결과값을 보이는 경우도 있어 추가적인 실험 및 고찰의 필요하다. 본 실험에서 사용한 최적배합비 이외의 배합으로 같은 실험을 수행하여 바텀애시 량의 가감 및 재활용 재료인 폐타이어 고무칩등을 첨가한 실험을 계획하고 있으며 추후 실내시험과 모형실험을 토대로 유한요소해석을 추가로 시행하여 실험값과 해석값의 비교를 할 예정이다.

The purpose of present study performed 27 CFRD cases analyses to predict and effectively use post-construction crest settlement, face slab deformation, and leakage as indexes for the maintenance and management of concrete faced rockfill dams(CFRD). The results showed that the range of post-construction crest settlement suggested by Sherard and Cooke (1987), and Clements (1984) had a good agreement in the case analyses using rockfills with very high intact strength, but it had a trend which underestimated crest settlement in the cases using rockfills with medium to high intact strength. The leakage case analyses showed that leakage is mainly caused by face slab deformation due to the water load, the maximum leakage in general was observed during the first reservoir filling, and leakage was rapidly increasing when the dam height exceeds 125m.

Histological changes occurred by freezing storage and subsequent thawing, and changes of muscle fiber after heating and drying of the eel (Anguilla japonica) were observed under microscope . The results are as follows : (1) After one month of freezing storage the muscular tissue produced considerable number of extracellular and intracellular ice crystals. The sample stored at the temperature of $-40^{\circ}C$ produced ice crystals inside the muscle cells while sample stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, outside. (2) No changes were observed in the hypodermic fat after thawing regardless of storage temperature, while insufficient recovering of muscle cells were detected in the muscular tissue. Muscular tissues which have been stored $-20^{\circ}C$ showed severe change in shape due to dehydration. (3) Microscopic observation on muscle homogenate showed loss of transparency due to free-zing, disfiguration and contraction by drying and water seperation, and elasticity by heating.

The performance of blind source separation(BSS) using independent component analysis (ICA) declines significantly in a reverberant environment. A post-processing method proposed in this paper was designed to remove the residual component precisely. The proposed method used modified NLMS(normalized least mean square) filter in frequency domain, to estimate cross-talk path that causes residual cross-talk components. Residual cross-talk components in one channel is correspond to direct components in another channel. Therefore, we can estimate cross-talk path using another channel input signals from adaptive filter. Step size is normalized by input signal power in conventional NLMS filter, but it is normalized by sum of input signal power and error signal power in modified NLMS filter. By using this method, we can prevent misadjustment of filter weights. The estimated residual cross-talk components are subtracted by non-stationary spectral subtraction. The computer simulation results using speech signals show that the proposed method improves the noise reduction ratio(NRR) by approximately 3dB on conventional FDICA.

The safety and structural integrity of buried pipes are usually at risk from constructing loading and compaction of backfill materials. The backfill material should be strong enough to help resistance and redistribute loads so that the buried pipe remains unaffected. Due to the many problems associated with buried pipes, there have been multiple studies on the development of a sustainable backfill material. In this study, a Controlled Low Strength Material made of coal ash was considered as a buried pipe backfill material. To determine the feasibility and performance of this backfill material, a numerical simulation was conducted with the results confirmed by a field test. Results showed maximum settlement to be 2 mm with the elastic strain of the buried pipe to be about 0.006.

The present paper briefly describes the space frame element and the fundamental strategies in computational elastic bifurcation theory of geometrically nonlinear, single load parameter conservative elastic spatial structures. A method for large deformation(rotation) analysis of space frame is based on an eulerian formulation, which takes into consideration the effects of large joint translations and rotations with finite deformation(rotation). The local member force-deformation relationships are based on the beam-column approach, and the change in member chord lengths caused by axial strain and flexural bowing are taken into account. and the derived geometric stiffness matrix is unsymmetric because of the fact that finite rotations are not commutative under addition. To detect the singular point such as bifurcation point, an iterative pin-pointing algorithm is proposed. And the path switching mode for bifurcation path is based on the non-negative eigen-value and it's corresponding eigen-vector. Some numerical examples for bifurcation analysis are carried out for a plane frame, plane circular arch and space dome structures are described.

The signature-then-encryption based on RSA scheme provides forward secrecy, but requires 4 modulo exponentiation operations in total, and the signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng simultaneously fulfills both the functions of digital signature and symmetric key encryption in a logically single step, and with a computational cost significantly smaller than that required by the current standard signature-then-encryption, but it can not provide forward secrecy. In this paper, we propose an enhanced signcryption scheme which can provide forward secrecy with lower computational cost and lower communication overhead comparing with those of the signature-then-encryption based on RSA, and with a similar communication overhead of Zheng's scheme. The proposed scheme can be also easily modified to the direct signature verification scheme by the recipient without using the recipient's private key. Additionally, we suggest a new design protocol with server-supported signatures which solves the CRLs(Certificate Revocation Lists) burden and provides non-repudiation of origin. This protocol with server-supported signatures also can be applied to the original signcryption scheme proposed by Zheng in order to improve security.

To predict residual stresses of aluminum ring rolls after quenching and element removal, 2-D and 3-D thermal elasto-plastic analyses were performed. Strains measured by three step sectioning method were directly compared to those analysed using ABAQUS's element removal. Numerical residual stresses after quenching had similar tendency to measured ones after 2 step aging, but the difference between numerical and measured ones was large. The difference is the reason why there are nonuniform residual stress distributions to ring height direction due to small height of ring, It is judged that the increase of ring height will improve the accuracy of measured ones and decrease the difference. By direct comparison between 3-D numerical strains to simulate three step sectioning method and measured ones, the accuracy of measurement and analysis can be improved. It is concluded that there can be predicted the deformation behavior on machining complex shaped large structures with residual stresses.

Currently, the development of evaluation technology for vibration and shock load characteristics and spent nuclear fuel structural integrity under normal conditions of transport is being conducted in the Republic of Korea. This is the first such research conducted in the Republic of Korea and, thus, previous international studies need to be investigated and will be referred to in the ongoing project. Before 2000, several studies related to measurement of vibration and shock loads on spent nuclear fuel were conducted in the US. US national research institutes conducted uniaxial fuel assembly shaker tests, concrete block tests, and multi-axis fuel assembly tests between 2009 and 2016. In 2017, multi-modal transportation tests including road, sea, and rail transport were also performed by research institutes from the US, Spain and the Republic of Korea. Therefore, test preparation procedures, acceleration and strain measurement results, and finite-element and multi-body dynamics analysis were investigated. Based on the measured strain data, the preliminary conclusion was obtained that the measured strain was too small to cause damage to spent nuclear fuel rods. However, this conclusion is a preliminary conclusion that only reviews part of the results; a detailed review is being conducted in the US. The investigation of international studies on spent nuclear fuel structural integrity tests considering vibration and shock loads under normal conditions of transport in the US will be useful data for the project being conducted in the Republic of Korea.
