In order to prepare the information needed to construct a reduction system for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exhausted from ship-block paint-booths in a giant shipyard, VOCs in paint-shop airs were analyzed and compared to the components in paint thinners. Aromatic hydrocarbons containing eight and nine carbon atoms are known to be major VOC compounds found in shipyard paint-shops. The total hydrocarbon (THC(C7)) concentrations calibrated using toluene gas, were measured in block paint-shops with two photo-ionization detector (PID) meters, and the resulting THC(C7) data were converted to THC(C1) concentrations according to the Standard Methods for the Measurements of Air Pollution in South Korea. THC(C1) concentrations near the spray site ranged from 10 to 2,000 ppm, but they were less than 400 ppm near the walls of the paint-booth. The measurements of THC concentrations, based on the height of the monitoring sites, were related to the height of the target to which the spray paints were applied. The maximum concentrations occurred at almost the same height as the spray targets. When painted blocks had been dried-by warming with no spraying, the THC concentrations were 80~100 ppm.

In this study a microchannel with various arrangement of blocks is newly proposed. This design comprises periodically arranged simple blocks. In this configuration, the stirring is greatly enhanced at a certain geometric parameter set. To characterize the flow field and the stirring effect both the numerical and experimental methods were employed. To obtain the velocity field, three-dimensional numerical computation to the Navier Stokes equations are performed by using a commercial code, FLUENT 6.0. The fluid-flow solutions are then cast into studying the characteristics of stirring with the aid of Lyapunov exponent. The numerical results show that the particles' trajectories in the microchannel heavily depend on the block arrangement. It was shown that the stirring is significantly enhanced at larger block-height and it reaches maximum when the height is 0.8 times the channel width. We also studied the effect of the block stagger angle, and it turns out that the stirring performance is the best at the block angel ${45^\circ}$.

This paper proposes a high precision measurement technique to obtain the height of gage block with a few millimeter height. The proposed technique is consisted of two steps : In the first step, laser position transducer and electric micrometer are adopted to obtain a coarse value of the height of gage block, and then, in the second step, heterodyne laser interferometry is adopted to acquire the precision value. A new kind of phase detector is constructed in the low cost for the heterodyne interferometer and its linearity with ${\pm}1%$ is confirmed by experiment. Also measurement error factors due to enviroments are discussed and methodology to reduce such errors is proposed. Preliminary experiments are carried out for the gage blocks of as high as a few millimeter.

The interaction of turbulent mixed convection and surface radiation in a three-dimensional channel with the heated blocks is analyzed numerically. Two blocks are maintained at high temperature and the other bottom and horizontal walls are insulated. S-4 method is employed to calculate the effect of the radiative heat transfer. The low Reynolds number k-$\varepsilon$ model proposed by Launder and Sharma is used to estimate the turbulent influence on the heat transfer enhancement. From above modeling, the effects of various channel specifications on the flow and heat transfer characteristics are investigated. The variables used for the present study are Reynolds number, block spacing, the channel height spacing for block and the emissivity. Average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are correlated and presented in terms of Reynolds number, emissivity and dimensionless geometric parameters. For the range of conditions in this study, average Nusselt numbers along the block surfaces are strongly influenced by the Reynolds numbers and channel height spacing for block but weakly influenced by the block spacing and the emissivity of the adiabatic walls.

The rockfall protection fence installed to secure safety against rockfall occurring in cut slope has been designed under the condition with 50kJ of impact energy arising when the 400kg of rock block is falling from 12.5m height. However, in falling case of bigger rock block or from higher place, it is hard to be secure of safety with existing rockfall protection fence. Using the rockfall program, safety analysis for rockfall is conducted in this paper by changing slope height, separating distance from fence, and slope angle, according to rock block sizes. In the result of analysis, when a 400kg of rock block which is designed load is fallen, the existing rockfall protection fence with 2.5m height can secure most of rock fall except some cases for the slope having 20m or less hight, whereas for more than 20m height, the fallen rock is frequently splattered over the rockfall protection fence, as well as the impact energy of rockfall may exceed designed impact energy. Therefore, in the design of rock fence, it is considered appropriate to design that after conducting safety review for rockfall according to the ground conditions, evaluating the bounce height and impact energy of rock fall, and then installing appropriate rockfall protection fence would be applicable rather than just following standards based design drawing.

In this study, a hydraulic model experiment under wave conditions was carried out to investigate the gap/distance between two near-unit farm lines that affects the rope kink and shape variation of a seaweed farm during mooring block movement. As a result, rope kink occurred during the low wave height condition as the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines decreased. The seaweed farm maintained a stable shape in the higher wave height conditions as the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines increased. This result indicates that rope kink is sensitively affected by the gap/distance between the two near-unit farm lines. A tendency to increase the critical wave height was observed when mooring block movement occurred, and as the mooring block weight and wave period increased. From the experimental results in which incident wave conditions and the mooring block weight changed, as the front side mooring block weight increased from 3.0 to 8.0 tons, the seaweed farm was stable, and rear side mooring block movement hardly occurred. The observed tension of the seaside mooring line was a maximum at about 3.0 ton/m.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surgical success of bone reconstruction of the severely atrophic maxilla using autogenous block bone onlay graft from the ramus and ilium prior to dental implantation. And we measured the amount of vertical height change Material and Methods: 26 partially edentulous patients(32 case) who needed block onlay bone graft before implant placement in posterior maxillary area from 2002 to 2009 were selected for this study. Patients consisted of 20 males & 6 females and the average of their age was 54.2. Patients who were treated with ramal bone were 19 case and patients who were treated with iliac bone were 11 case. Digital panoramic X-ray was taken at the day of surgery, 3 months and 6 months later after the surgery. Vertical height change & resorption rate of grafted bone were measured with the same X-rays and compared Results: Two out of 32 bone grafts had to be removed because of inflamation at the grafts area(97.3%). The mean of radiographic vertical height change(change rate) of post-op. 3 month was 0.54mm(8.5%)and 6 month was 0.99mm(15.9%). Compairing to intraoral donor site(ramus), iliac bone had more vertical height change(1.18mm) at 6 month after surgery. Conclusions: Within the limit of this study, autogenous block onlay grafts can be considered a promising treatment for severely atrophic maxilla.

The most cultural heritages are composed of piled multi-block systems which are vulnerable to earthquakes. The stone of low height tends to slide when the excitation such as earthquake is applied and this sliding motion has effects on the whole response of the structure. In this study, analytical method of sliding motion of the piled multi-block systems considering horizontal rotation is developed and compared with shaking table test results. It is shown that the nonlinear analysis of sliding motion of multi-block system leads to satisfactory results.

Background : The Purposes of this study were to understand difference between free walking and obstacle over walking through the naked eye and motion analysis device, and to review merits of obstacle walking training as item of functional assessment in clinical situations. Methods : All participants were male and performed 3 types of walking methods: free walking, obstacle over walking with low block(height=10cm, width=8cm), and obstacle over walking with high block(height=20cm, width=8cm). All walking were performed 3 trials respectively. Results : In the naked eye, initial contact with toes occurred more than heel strike in obstacle over walking, and the flexion angle of hip and knee were increased in obstacle over walking. On interpretations though motion analysis device, cadence, gait speed and weight accept were significant statistically(p<.05). Cadence and gait speed were decreased, and weight accept duration was increased in obstacle over walking. Rotation among three pelvic motions was significant statistically(p<.05), flexion among three hip motions was significant statistically(p<.05) and flexion among three ankle motions was significant statistically(p<.05). Rotation and flexion among three ankle motions was significant statistically(p<.05). Conclusion : Both the naked eye and interpretations of the device presented many difference between free walking and obstacle over walking. In overcrossing obstacles, many participants appeared walking strategy by perform initial contact with toes. Knee flexion was most significant statistically(p<.05) in obstacle over walking with 20cm block.
