Sediments deposited on lateral drain pipes in a tunnel make lateral porous pipes clogged. Since the safety of the tunnel can be affected by this phenomenon, it requires a regular maintenance of the lateral drain pipes. In this study, a series of centrifugal tests were conducted in order to find out the method which can reduce the clogging effect considerably. Four different types of tunnel drain configurations were selected in the experiments. By analysis of sediments for each configuration, the optimum drain configuration that can minimize sedimentation of cement constituents was investigated. As a results, the existing drain configuration which uses filter concrete appear to produce much sediments. In contrast, the new drain configuration appears to be able to reduce sedimentation ratio up to almost 50% comparing with the existing one. From these observations, it may be concluded that the new drain configuration, in which the lateral porous pipes of a tunnel are surrounded by gravel layer and non-woven geotextile, has high efficiency in maintenance.

The concrete fatigue analysis can be performed with the use of fracture mechanics. The fracture mechanics defines the fatigue crack propagation as the relationship of crack growth rate and stress intensity factor. In contrast to metal, the application of fracture mechanics to concrete is more complicated and therefore many authors have introduced empirical expressions using Paris law. The topic of this paper is development of a new prediction of fatigue crack propagation for concrete using rheological-dynamical analogy (RDA) and finite element method (FEM) in the frame of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). The static and cyclic fatigue three-point bending tests on notched beams are considered. Verification of the proposed approach was performed on the test results taken from the literature. The comparison between the theoretical model and experimental results indicates that the model proposed in this paper is valid to predict the crack propagation in flexural fatigue of concrete.

A 6-month-old male Ragdoll cat presented with exercise intolerance. On physical examination, there was a grade 2/6 systolic murmur at the right apex. Diagnostic tests, including SpO₂ measurement, blood tests, radiography, echocardiography, contrast echocardiography, and electrocardiography, were performed. Severe right atrial dilation, tricuspid valve leaflets and orifice displacement, right ventricular atrialization, septal leaflet adherence, anterior leaflet tethering, and right atrioventricular junction dilation were noted on echocardiography, alongside a right-to-left atrial septal defect. Cor triatriatum dexter and left ventricular aneurysm were observed. We diagnosed this case as having Ebstein anomaly with rare congenital heart deformities; which is rare in cats.

골밀도검사에서 측정값에 영향을 주는 요인 중 하나인 방사선 조영제는 진단 목적으로 사용되어 조직 등에 흡수되어 골밀도 측정값을 높이는 효과가 있어, 골밀도검사 시행 전에는 될 수 있으면 피하고 있다. 이러한 방사선 조영제와는 다른 물리적 특성과 작용기전을 갖는 MRI 조영제는 금속원소인 가돌리늄 기반으로 방사선 불투과성 특징을 가지고 있어 일반적으로 방사선을 이용한 검사 전에 MRI 검사를 선 시행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MRI 조영제가 이중에너지 X-선 흡수법을 이용한 골밀도검사에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 가돌리늄 기반의 MRI 조영제 2종을 아크릴 수조에 용량별로 주입하여 인체모형 척추 팬텀을 넣고, 각 주입량 종류별로 5회씩 총 30회 scan 하여 L1-L4 번까지의 골밀도와 T-score를 분석하였다. 측정된 2종의 조영제별 Total(L1-L4) 골밀도의 평균값은 가도테레이트 메글루민성분 0mL, 7.5mL, 15mL일때, 각각 0.952±0.052, 0.957±0.050, 0.956±0.05 g/㎠로 나타났으며, 가도부트롤성분 0mL, 5mL, 10mL일 때, 각각 0.953±0.001, 0.954±0.001, 0.945±0.001g/㎠로 모든 부위에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). Total (L1-L4) T-score의 평균값은 가도테레이트 메글루민성분은 0mL, 7.5mL, 15mL일 때, 각각 -0.46±0.05, -0.4±0, -0.42±0.04로 나타났으며, 가도부트롤성분 0mL, 5mL, 10mL일 때, 각각 -0.46±0.05, -0.46±0.05, 0.5±0.00으로 모든 부위에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 본 실험에서는 MRI 조영제는 이중에너지 X-선 흡수법을 이용한 골밀도검사에 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났으나, 임상 대상이 아닌 제한적 조건의 인체 모형 팬텀을 사용하여 조영제의 배출시간에 영향을 주는 신장 기능, 신체 상태 등이 고려되지 못한 제한점이 있어 추후 추가적인 임상연구 진행이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

본고에서는 소위 '테일러 룰'이라고 일컫는 통화정책론이 한국의 통화정책에도 적용될 수 있는지를 검증하고자 하였다. '테일러 룰'이 적용된다면 이자율, 물가상승률 및 잠재성장률 간에 공적분이 성립해야 하는데, 본고에서는 선형관계를 전제로 하는 공적분은 성립하지 않는다는 결과를 산출하였고, 더 나아가 새로운 분계점 공적분 검정법(IV ECM Threshold Cointegration Tests)을 개발하고 이를 적용하고자 하였다. 이 방법론은 기존의 공적분 검정법과 달리 성가신 파라미터(nuisance parameters)에 의존하지 않는다는 장점이 있다. 이 장점을 사용하여 적용한 결과, 본고에서는 한국에 있어서도 비선형 테일러 통화정책에 대한 분계점 공적분이 성립하고 '비선형 테일러 룰'이 검증되었음을 보여주었다.

The full results of troubleshooting process related to the flight control system of a tilt-rotor type UAV in the flight tests are described. Flight tests were conducted in helicopter, conversion, and airplane modes. The vehicle was flown using automatic functions, which include speed-hold, altitude-hold, heading-hold, guidance modes, as well as automatic take-off and landing. Many unexpected problems occurred during the envelope expansion tests which were mostly under those automatic functions. The anomalies in helicopter mode include vortex ring state (VRS), long delay in the automatic take-off, and the initial overshoot in the automatic landing. In contrast, the anomalies in conversion mode are untrimmed AOS oscillation and the calibration errors of the air data sensors. The problems of low damping in rotor speed and roll rate responses are found in airplane mode. Once all of the known problems had been solved, the vehicle in airplane mode gradually reached the maximum design speed of 440km/h at the operation altitude of 3km. This paper also presents a comprehensive detailing of the control systems of the tilt-rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV).

In this study, in order to evaluate the effect of two types of connector systems in reinforced retaining wall, the centrifugal tests for the conventional connector and new settlement connector system were performed. In the centrifugal tests, the aluminum plate for the face was used and the aluminum foil was used as a reinforcement. The granite soil was adopted as a fill. As a result, The settlement reinforced retaining wall reached to the failure at 80g-level. In contrast, the conventional reinforced retaining wall was collapsed at 69g-level. It means that the settlement reinforced retaining wall has the stronger stability than the conventional reinforced retaining wall. In addition, it was shown that the settlement connector system is more effective to release the stress concentration occurred at the face of reinforced retaining wall than the conventional connector system.

Crocidolite quality control (QC) sampling created by the wet generation method has been validated by validation tests such as the accuracy, precision, and storage tests. For this study we designed and developed a manufacturing apparatus and standard operating procedure for making these QC samples. The most important step in the procedure of making QC samples was the stage eliminating static electricity in asbestos fibers. This static electricity hampers the fibers clog functioning. In accuracy and precision tests by phase contrast microscopy analysis, the difference between the reference values and the studied values was at maximum 17.8%. This satisfies the AIHA proficiency analytical test criteria for asbestos. We could confirm the nearly even distribution of crocidolite fibers on the membrane filter. Also, there was no loss of fibers in the storage test after the one month.

The erodibility of soil is an important factor to scour, especially in fine-grained soils. In this study, the erosion characteristics of kaolinite are quantified through the scour rate tests using the Erosion Function Apparatus called EFA. The basic soil property tests are also performed. The kaolinite samples are prepared by mixing with distilled water and formed to the designed maximum consolidation pressure of 60, 110, 160, 240, 360kPa, respectively. The results of the scour rate tests are presented in a format of a plot showing the relationship between erosion rates and shear stresses. Erosion properties of kaolinite showed a striking contrast according to the maximum consolidation pressure, and a correlation was established between the erosion properties of kaolinite and the soil properties; water content, undrained shear strength, dry density.

In this paper, high strength pressure vessel steels having the same chemical compositions were manufactured by the two different steel-making processes, such as vacuum degassing(VD) and electro-slag remelting(ESR) methods. After the steel-making process, they were normalized at $955^{\circ}C$, quenched at $843^{\circ}C$, and finally tempered at $550^{\circ}C$ or $450^{\circ}C$, resulting in tempered martensitic microstructures with different yielding strengths depending on the tempering conditions. Low-cycle fatigue(LCF) tests, fatigue crack growth rate(FCGR) tests, and fracture toughness tests were performed to investigate the fatigue and fracture behaviors of the pressure vessel steels. In contrast to very similar monotonic, LCF, and FCGR behaviors between VD and ESR steels, a quite difference was noticed in the fracture toughness. Fracture toughness of ESR steel was higher than that of VD steel, being attributed to the removal of impurities in steel-making process.
