본 연구의 목적은 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여 록볼트의 비파괴시험을 기술하고 비파괴시험의 적용성을 조사하는 것이다. 록볼트 자체와 그라우팅재를 포함한 록볼트의 건전도를 평가하기 위하여, 수치해석 및 실험적 방법을 이용한 두 가지 방법이 적용되었다. 수치해석적 방법에서는 "DISPERSE" 프로그램을 이용하여 록볼트 시스템에서 유도파 전달시의 분산성분석을 수행하였다. 분산선도 곡선은 지중근입되어 있는 록볼트에 대하여 주변암반과 그라우팅재의 강성에 따라 신호파의 진폭감쇠정도와 주파수변화대비 전파속도의 영향을 보여준다. 이로 부터 록볼트의 건전도시험을 위한 최적의 주파수를 추정할 수 있으며, 그 결과L(1)모드에서$20{\sim}70kHz$가 최적의 주파수대역으로 선정하였다. 실험적 방법에서는 시험체를 제작한 후 현장조건을 모사하여 실내비파괴시험을 실시하였다. 비파괴 실험기법으로는 록볼트 선단부에 가진 센서를 부착, 매입하여 전기신호 가진에 의한 투과법을 적용하였다. 그라우팅과 주변암반에 의해 신호파의 전파속도와 진폭에 영향이 있으며, 그라우팅과 주변암반으로의 leaking 등에 의하여 신호파의 진폭이 감쇠하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 시험체가 그라우팅으로 피복되어 있을 경우 자유구속 및 지중근입 조건에서 공동결함 크기가 증가함에 따라 무결함부에 비하여 진폭이 증가하였다. 그리고 수진된 신호파의 초동시간이 감소하여 전파속도는 전반적으로 선형적 증가 경향을 보였으며, 진폭변화에 비하여 전파속도가 공동결함비율 변화에 더 민감한 반응을 보였다. 본 연구는 록볼트의 건전도 평가시에 비파괴시험이 매우 유용한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Objectives Sensory gating dysfunctions in patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have been investigated through two similar methods ; P50 suppression and prepulse inhibition paradigms. However, recent studies have demonstrated that the two measures are not correlated but rather constitute as distinct neural processes. Recent studies adopting spectral frequency analysis suggest that P50 suppression reflects the interaction between gamma and other frequency bands. The aim of the present study is to investigate which frequency component shows more significant interaction with gamma band. Methods A total of 108 mood disorder patients and 36 normal subjects were included in the study. The P50 responses to conditioning and test stimuli with an intra-pair interval of 500 msec were measured in the study population. According to P50 ratio (amplitude to the test stimulus/amplitude to the conditioning stimulus), the subjects with P50 ratio less than 0.2 were defined as suppressed group (SG) ; non-suppressed group (NSG) consisted of P50 ratio more than 0.8. Thirty-five and 25 subjects were included in SG and NSG, respectively. Point-to-point correlation coefficients (PPCCs) of both groups were calculated between two time-windows : the first window (S1) was defined as the time-window of one hundred millisecond after the conditioning auditory stimulus and the second window (S2) was defined as the time-window of 100 msec after the test auditory stimulus. Spectral frequency analysis was performed to investigate which frequency band results in the difference of PPCC between SG and NSG. Results Significant reduction of PPCC between S1 and S2 was observed in the SG (Pearson's r = 0.24), compared to PPCC of the NSG (r = 0.58, p < 0.05). In spectral frequency analysis, gamma band showed "phase-reset" and similar responses after the two auditory stimuli in suppressed and non-suppressed group. However in the case of alpha band, comparison showed significantly low PPCC in SG (r = -0.14) compared to NSG (r = 0.36, p < 0.05). This may be reflecting "phase-out" of alpha band against gamma band at approximately 50 msecs after the test stimulus in the SG. Conclusions Our study suggests that normal P50 suppression is caused by phase-out of alpha band against gamma band after the second auditory stimulus. Thus it is demonstrated that normal sensory gating process is constituted with attenuated alpha power, superimposed on consistent gamma response. Implications of preserved gamma and decreased alpha band in sensory gating function are discussed.

This paper presents a gain and phase mismatch calibration technique for an image-reject RF receiver. The gain mismatch is calibrated by directly measuring the output signal amplitudes of two signal paths. The phase mismatch is calibrated by measuring the output amplitude of the final IF output at the image band. The calibration of the gain and phase mismatch is performed at power-up, and the normal operation of the RF receiver does not interfere with the mismatch calibration circuit. To verify the proposed technique, a 2.4-GHz Weaver image-reject receiver with the gain and phase mismatch calibration circuit is implemented in a 0.18-${\mu}m$ CMOS technology. The overall receiver achieves a voltage gain of 45 dB and a noise figure of 4.8 dB. The image rejection ratio(IRR) is improved from 31 dB to 59.76 dB even with 1 dB and $5^{\circ}$ mismatch in gain and phase, respectively.

Block diagonalization (BD) has been proposed as a simple and effective technique in multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) broadcast channels. However, when channel state information (CSI) knowledge is limited at the transmitter, the performance of the BD may be degraded because inter-user interference cannot be completely eliminated. In this paper, we propose an efficient CSI quantization technique for BD precoded systems with limited feedback where users supported by a base station are selected by dynamic scheduling. First, we express the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) when multiple data streams are transmitted to the user, and derive a lower bound expression of the expected received SINR at each user. Then, based on this measure, each user determines its quantized CSI feedback information which maximizes the derived expected SINR, which comprises both the channel direction and the amplitude information. From simulations, we confirm that the proposed SINR-based channel quantization scheme achieves a significant sum rate gain over the conventional method in practical MU-MIMO systems.

Explicit design formulae of liquid column vibration absorber (LCVA) for suppressing harmonic vibration of structures with small inherent structural damping are developed in this study. The developed design formulae are also applicable to the design of a tuned mass damper (TMD) and a tuned liquid column damper (TLCD) for damped structures under harmonic force excitation. The optimum parameters of LCVA for suppressing harmonic vibration of undamped structures are first derived. Numerical searching of the optimum parameters of tuned vibration absorber system for suppressing harmonic vibration of damped structure is conducted. Explicit formulae for these optimum parameters are then obtained by a series of curve fitting techniques. The analytical result shows that the control performance of TLCD for reducing harmonic vibration of undamped structure is always better than that of non-uniform LCVA for same mass and length ratios. As for the effects of structural damping on the optimum parameters, it is found that the optimum tuning ratio decreases and the optimum damping ratio increases as the structural damping is increased. Furthermore, the optimum head loss coefficient is inversely proportional to the amplitude of excitation force and increases as the structural damping is increased. Numerical verification of the developed explicit design expressions is also conducted and the developed expressions are demonstrated to be reasonably accurate for design purposes.

Numerical calculations are carried out for flow past a circular cylinder forced oscillating normal to the free-stream flow at a fixed Reynolds number equal to 185. The cylinder oscillation frequency ranged from 0.8 to 1.2 of the natural vortex-shedding frequency, and the oscillation amplitude extended up to 20% of the cylinder diameter. IBM (Immersed Boundary Method) with direct momentum forcing was adopted to handle both of a stationary and an oscillating cylinder Present results such as time histories of drag and lift coefficients for both stationary and oscillating cases are in good agreement with previous numerical and experimental results. The instantaneous wake patterns of oscillating cylinder with different oscillating frequency ratios showed the synchronized wakes pattern in the lock-in region and vortex switching phenomenon at higher frequency ratio than the critical frequency ratio.

This paper examines the crack growth behavior of 7075-T651 and 5052-H32 aluminum alloy under high-low block loading condition. The cantilever beam type specimen with a chevron notch is used in this study. The crack growth and closure ae investigated by compliance method. The applied stress ratios are R=0.15, 0.0, -0.15 and R=-0.15, 0.0, 0.15. The crack growth rate was found to increase as the load amplitude increases. However,${\bigtriangleup}K_eff$ was almost independent on the stress ratio. The experimental constants of 7075-T651 and 5052-H32 in Paris law were c`=1-1.3${\times}{10^-7},m`=3~3.2 and c`=4~6{\times}{10^-9}, m`=4.3-4.8$, respectively. $K_op$ of 7075-T651 and 5052-H32 becomes smaller as the stress ratio decreases. It seems that the crack closure affects $K_op$.

펄스옥시메트리는 서로 다른 두 파장의 빛을 이용하여 동맥혈의 산소포화도를 측정하는 비침습성의 광에 의한 측정 방법이다. 동맥혈의 맥동성분은 정맥혈, 피부 그리고 기타의 비맥동성분들에 의해 감쇠되는 직류 성분에 중첩되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 맥동 성분의 적분비를 이용하여 산소포화도를 계산하는 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 알고리즘에서는, 심장의 수축과 관련되는 맥동신호의 1/2 싸이클만을 이용한다. 이용하는 시간은 1 cycle의 약 1/4이다. 1/4 주기를 이용하는 본 알고리즘은 기존의 방식과 유사한 결과가 나타났다. 신호의 진폭이 낮고, 시간의 점유가 많은 부분을 계산에서 배제했기 때문에, 동잡음의 영향이 감소되었다.

Measurements of NO and NOx emission of laminar partially premixed LPG/air flames with and without acoustic excitation are reported. The NOx emission at the tailpipe of a combustion chamber is determined by chemiluminescent analyser. The NOx measurements are taken in flames with several different center tube equivalance ratio( ø$\sub$o/), and overall equivalace ratio(ø$\sub$o/) for a fixed fuel flowrate. The NOx emission decrease to reach a minimum value at an optimum ø$\sub$c/ 2. Theø$\sub$c/ 2 flame gives a compromise of thermal NO and prompt NO mechanism. In the case of excitation. the visual shape of the flame is changed from laminar flame to turbulent-like flame. With increasing levels of excitation amplitude, an optimum value of the NO and NOx emission exists. A shorter flame caused by the enhanced upstream mixing due to acoustic excitation results in the reduction of NO and NOx emission in the present flames. The reduction of flame length affects the shorter residence time of center tube mixture, and significantly influences the NOx reduction.
