The effects of BPC (blade pitch control) on FOWT (floating offshore wind turbine) motions and generated power are investigated by using a fully-coupled turbine-floater-mooring simulation program. In this regard, two example FOWTs, OC4-5MW semi-submersible FOWT and KRISO four-3MW-units FOWT, are selected since the numerical simulations of those two FOWTs have been verified against experiments in authors' previous studies. Various simulations are performed changing BPC natural frequency (BPCNF), BPC damping ratio (BPCDR), and wind speeds. Through the numerical simulations, it was demonstrated that negative damping can happen for platform pitch motions and its influences are affected by BPCNF, BPCDR, and wind speeds. If BPCNF is significantly larger than platform-pitch natural frequency, the pitch resonance can be very serious due to the BPC-induced negative-damping effects, which should be avoided in the FOWT design. If wind speed is significantly higher than the rated wind velocity, the negative damping effects start to become reduced. Other important findings are also given through systematic sensitivity investigations.

Purpose: This study was performed to analyze the levels of blood pressure and to identify good or poor blood pressure control (BPC) groups among hypertension patients. The study was based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES VI and VII) conducted from 2013 to 2016. Methods: The sociodemographic and clinical data of 4,151 Korean hypertension patients aged 20-79 years and who were taking antihypertensive medications was extracted from the KNHANES VI and VII database. Descriptive statistics for complex samples and a decision-tree analysis were performed using the SPSS WIN 24.0 program. Results: The mean age was $62.46{\pm}0.21years$. The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) was $128.07{\pm}0.28mmHg$, and the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was $76.99{\pm}0.21mmHg$. 71.9% of participants showed normal blood pressure (SBP < 140mmHg and DBP < 90mmHg). From the decisiontrees analysis, the characteristics of participants related to good BPC group were presented with 9 different pathways same as those from the poor BPC group. Good or poor BPC groups were classified according to the patients' characteristics such as age, living status, occupation, education, hypertension diagnosis period, numbers of comorbidity, perceived health status, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, alcohol drinking per month, and depressive mood. Total cholesterol level (< 201mg/dL or ${\geq}201mg/dL$ cutoff point) was the most significant predictor of the participants' BPC group. Conclusion: This decision-tree model with the 18 different pathways can form a basis for the screening of hypertension patients with good or poor BPC in either clinical or community settings.

Fabrication of mortar containing fly ash for high strength structural material was investigated by using a Mechanochemically Processed Cement (MPC) and/or Fly Ash (MPFA), which was compared to the specimen (at the same fabrication condition of fly ash adding contents (10, 20 and 30 wt%) and curing time (7 and 28 days)) fabricated by using Ball-mill Processed Cement (BPC) and As Received Fly Ash (ARFA) in terms with compressive strength and microstructures. Mortar specimen fabricated by using MPC and ARFA showed 5-11% higher compressive strength than that in the case of using BPC and ARFA, and mortar specimen by using BPC and MPFA represented 10-20% higher compressive strength than that for the case of using BPC and ARFA. Furthermore, mortar specimen fabricated by simultaneously using MPC and MPFA exhibited about 24% higher value of compressive strength than that for the case of using BPC and ARFA, which was considered to be synergic efficiency in increasing compressive strength. Increased compressive strength as above mentioned is considered to be caused by mutually increased affinity between cement and fly ash induced during mechanochemical Processing(MP).

The mesophase pitch was prepared by adding 1~10 wt% of the borane-pyridine complex (BPC) to decant oil. It was prepared in a reactor held at $450^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in $N_2$ atmosphere. The mesophase pitches were analyzed using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), melting point apparatus, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarized optical microscope. The coke yield, softening point, toluene insoluble, density and content of anisotropy in the mesophase pitches were increased with BPC contents. The XRD profiles did not show any effect of addition of BPC on the formation of mesophase pitch, while the crystallinity of mesophase pitches was increased when the materials were heat treated with boron compound.

Nine kinds of hydroxypropyl celluloses (HPCs) with degree of substitution (DS) and molar substitution (MS) ranging from 2.10 to 2.71 and 2.3 to 6.7, respectively and seven kinds of fully butanoated HPCs (BPCs) based on the HPCs with $2.3\;{\le}\;MS\;{\le}\;6.7$ were synthesized, and the molecular characteristics of HPCs and the thermotropic liquid crystalline properties of the derivatives were investigated. MS was nearly equal to DS for small value of DS, but it became exceedly larger than DS for $DS{\gtrsim}1$, showing that in the later stages of reaction, propylene oxide preferentially adds to the side chains rather than the main chain. All the derivatives formed enantiotropic cholesteric phases with right-handed helical structures. The glass and clearing transition temperatures of both HPCs and BPCs were decreased with increasing MS. The optical pitches (${\lambda}_m'S$) of BPCs, as well as HPCs themselves, increased with increasing temperature. However, the ${\lambda}_m'S$ of both HPCs and BPCs at the same temperature increased with increasing MS. Moreover, the temperature dependence of ${\lambda}_m$ of HPCs was weaker than that of BPCs, suggesting that the helical twisting power of the cellulose chain highly depends on the length and chemical structure of the side chain introduced in cellulose chain.

This study has conducted to investigate the changes in the mobility of the three thoraco-abdominal lines(TAMs) during breathing and in the thoracic and lumbar spine mobility(TSM, LSM) during trunk forward flexion, after breathing pattern correction. The 30 subjects with lumbar instability(LI) have divided into the breathing pattern correction exercise(BPC) group of 15 subjects and the lumbar stabilization exercise(LSE) group of 15 subjects and performed each exercise for 40 minutes at one session, and a total of 18 sessions were applied for 6 weeks. As a result, The BPC group during breathing showed a significant increase in all TAMs(p<.001) and in the TSM(p<.001) than the LSE group. Besides, had a more decrease in the LSM than the LSE group(p<.001). The BPC showed high positive correlations with TAMs(rest: r=.868, forced: r=.870) and the TSM(r=.672) and had a negative correlation with the LSM(r=-.420). Based on this result of the study, the authors believe that the BPC in LI people could decrease the lumbar flexion mobility when they have motion of trunk forward flexion with promotions in the thoracic spine and rib joint mobility by improvements in relative mobility of thoraco-abdominal lines.

원자로에서 핵분열에 의해 생성된 고에너지 중성자는 감속재를 통해 열평형에 의해 에너지가 낮춰져 통계적 분포, 즉 Maxwell-Boltzman 운동에 따른 에너지 스펙트림을 갖게 된다. 중성자 산란장치는 통상 단색빔을 이용하므로 단색기(monochiomator)를 통해 이 분포에서 특정 파장의 중성자빔을 인출, 즉 단색화한다. 이때 단색기는 각각의 중성자 산란장치에 사용할 수 있는 특정 파장의 중성자빔을 인출하면서도, 파장의 퍼짐을 적절하게 조절하여 높은 중성자속(neutron flux)을 가지며 분해능도 또한 좋아야 한다. 전통적으로 많이 사용하는 단색화 방법은 결정의 내부결함을 유도하여 만든 모자익(mosaic) 결정을 이용하는 것이다. 이 방법은 특정 파장을 얻으면서도 좋은 분해능과 높은 중성자속을 갖는 모자익 결정을 만들기가 어렵고, 한번 결정된 단색기의 특성을 바꿀 수 없는 단점이 있다. 1980년대부터 몇몇 그룹이 거의 완전하게 성장된 단결정 슬랩을 미세하게 구부려서 탄성변형을 주어 effective 모자익 구조를 발생시킨 '구부린 완전결정(bent perfect crystal, BPC)' 단색기를 개발하여 특정 목적에 활용하는 시도를 하였다. BPC 단색기는 단색화된 중성자빔을 집속(focusing)할 수 있으며, 결정의 구부림 정도를 조절하고 배치 기하를 바꿈으로써 다양한 특성을 갖는 단색빔을 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이렇게 단색기의 기하학적 변수를 조절함으로써 회절빔의 집속도와 분해능을 조절할 수 있어서 잔류응력 측정이나 단결정 회절 및 집합조직 측정장치 등에 적용할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 BPC 단색기의 원리와 여러 배치기하에 따른 빔의 특성을 소개하고자 한다.빔이 시료와 상호 작용하는 면적과 상호작용하지 않을 때의 빔을 회절모드에서 faraday cup으로 측정한 빔전류로 부터 계산하였다. Gibbsite에 대한 전자빔 조사 시 1분 이내에 급격한 Hydroxyl Ion(OH-)의 이탈로 인해 Cibbsite의 구조는 거시적 비정질화가 되며 시간증가에 따라 χ-alumina → ν-alumina → σ-alumina or δ-alumina의 순으로 상전이를 겪는다. 전자빔 조사 시 관찰된 회절자료의 가시적 변화를 통해 illumination angle 1.25mrad(Dose rate : 334 × 10³ e/sup -//sec·n㎡)일 경우 약 3초 이내에 비정질화가 시작됨을 알 수 있었고 이는 약 1 × 10/sup 6/ e/sup -//sec·n㎡ 의 전자선량에 해당되며 이를 기준으로 각각의 illumination angle에 대한 임계전자선량을 평가할 수 있었다. 실질적으로 Cibbsite와 같은 무기수화물의 직접가열실험 시 전자빔 조사에 의해 야기되는 상전이 영향을 배제하고 실험을 수행하려면 illumination angle 0.2mrad (Dose rate : 8000 e/sup -//sec·n㎡)이하로 관찰하고 기록되어야 함을 본 자료로부터 알 수 있었다.운동횟수에 의한 영향으로써 운동시간을 1일 6시간으로 설정하여, 운동횟수를 결정하기 위하여 오전, 오후에 각 3시간씩 운동시키는 방법과 오전부터 6시간동안 운동시키는 두 방법을 이용하여 품질을 비교하였다. 각 조건에 따라 운동시킨 참돔의 수분함량을 나타낸 것으로, 2회(오전 3시간, 오후 3시간)에 나누어서 운동시키기 위한 육의 수분함량은 73.37±2.02%를 나타냈으며, 1회(6시간 운
