Structural performance of the walls subjected to lateral load reversals depends on various parameters such as loading history, sectional shape, reinforcement, lateral confinement, aspect ratio, axial compression, etc. Thus, the performance of the shearwall for wall-type apartment should be evaluated properly considering above parameters. This study investigates the effect of sectional shape on the structural performance of the wall. Sectional shape of the specimen is rectangular, barbell and T. Based on this experimental results, all specimens behaved as ductile fashion and failed by concrete crushing of the compression zone. Deformation index of those specimens evaluated better than 3 of ductility ratio, and 1.5% of deformability specified by seismic provision. Moreover, the performance of the rectangular shaped specimen, whose compression zone was confined with U-bar and cross tie, was as good as the barbell shaped specimen. Therefore, if we considered construction practice such as workmanship and detailing, shearwall with rectangular section may be more economical lateral load resisting system.

We present a case of chondroblastoma in the thoracic vertebra. A 40-year-old patient with upper back pain and lower extremity weakness was admitted to our clinic. On neurological examination, the patient exhibited lower extremity spastic paraparesis. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a mass infiltrating the 7th thoracic vertebra and its adjacent structures with concomitant compression of the epidural space. After right upper lung tuberculoma was resected through the transthoracic approach, T7 total corpectomy was done with anterior stabilization using a MESH cage and T7 rib bone graft. Two weeks after the first operation, remained part of vertebra was removed and posterior stabilization was performed using a pedicle screw fixation and cross linkage bar with the assistance of the navigation system. The final pathologic diagnosis of the vertebral lesion was benign chondroblastoma.

자동차 산업에서 중요 화두로 떠오르고 있는 지능형 자동차 개발에 있어서, 영상처리를 이용하여 다양한 편의와 안전을 제공하며 더 나아가서는 자동주행을 목표로 하는 여러 가지 영상인식 방법들이 개발되고 있다. 본 논문은 자동 주행 분야에서 가장 중요한 문제들 중의 하나인 장애물 검출에 관한 것으로서, 여러 장애물들 중에 요금소나 진입통제 지역에 자주 나타나는 크로스 바 검출을 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 크로스 바의 경우 그 두께가 작아서 레이더로 잘 검출되지 않으므로 특히 영상처리로 검출을 해야 할 장애물에 속한다. 본 논문에서는 도로 상에 일반적으로 존재하는 크로스 바의 특징을 기반으로 한 영상 처리를 통해 바를 검출한다. 먼저 색상과 모양 정보를 이용하여 크로스 바의 노란색 영역이라고 판단되는 부분을 추출한다. 이들 가운데 수평을 이루고 있는 부분이 존재하면 크로스 바로 판단한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 제동거리 밖에서 정확하게 크로스 바를 검출함을 보여준다.

The construction of vinyl greenhouses are increasing because of economic feasibility, construction period, and construction regulations. However, the vinyl greenhouses are apt to collapse by snow load since they have a small member as a temporary structure. The 3 types of buckling such as global, member and nodal buckling could be occurred to arched structures according to characteristics of cross section. To examine the member buckling, the precision of analysis need to be enhanced. In that case, we can examine the characteristics of the those buckling. The purposes of this study are to verify buckling characteristics of structures using the method of high precision analysis with a center node of member. The results of high precision analysis bring member buckling, and in the analysis method having the center node of member, the value of strength is getting lower than a previous study.

We investigated a new longitudinal acceleration wave decomposition method in time domain. The proposed method separates up- and down-stream waves with an axial strain and axial acceleration measured at a single point on the transmission path. The advantages such as low computation load and easy implementation would be possible by developing time domain under the following assumptions; low frequency range, uniform cross sectional area and elastic wave propagation. We confirmed the feasibility and performance of the method through experiment using Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB). The method can be effective in several applications, including active vibration control with wave view point, where real time wave decomposition is necessary.

For the stars cooler than the Sun, it is difficult to determine the stellar parameters and chemical abundances because of the strong molecular lines in the optical region. Therefore the NIR high-resolution spectra, such as those obtained by IGRINS would be a solution to determine the stellar parameters for late-type stars, such as M dwarfs. As using the NIR high-resolution spectra, we are expecting that it would be more reliable to compare observed spectra with synthetic spectra for the stellar parameters. In order to confirm the method by using high-resolution spectra in NIR band, it should be cross-checked against the stellar parameters from optical high-resolution spectra. We have derived the stellar parameters of M dwarfs using the synthetic spectra in the long wavelength region of the optical spectra (over 8000 $\bar{A}$), which is relatively less contaminated by molecular lines as well as telluric lines.

With the increasing use of high-power laser diode bars (LDBs) and stacked LDBs, the issue of thermal control has become critical, as temperature is related to device efficiency and lifetime, as well as to beam quality. To improve the thermal resistance of an LDB set, we propose and analyze a bypass heat sink with a top canopy structure for an LDB set, instead of adopting a thick submount. The thermal bypassing in the top-canopy structure is efficient, as it avoids the cross-sectional thermal saturation that may exist in a thick submount. The efficient thickness range of the submount in a typical LDB set is guided by the thermal resistance as a function of thickness, and the simulated bypassing efficiency of a canopy is higher than a simple analytical prediction, especially for thinner canopies.

The heat transfer characteristics of a turbulent flow in a ribbed two-dimensional channel have been investigated numerically. The fully elliptic governing equations, coupled with a four-equation turbulence model, $\kappa-\omega-\bar{t^2}-\epsilon_t$, are solved by a finite volume method of SIMPLE type. Calculations have been carried out for three rib cross-sections : square, triangular, and semicircular, with various rib pitches and Reynolds numbers. The procedure appears to be satisfactory as the results for the square rib compare favorably with available experimental data and earlier calculation. The optimal rib pitch that yields the maximum heat transfer has been identified. It is also found that the square rib is most effective in enhancing the heat transfer. The semicircular rib, on the other hand, incurs the least amount of pressure drop but the improvement in heat transfer is substantially lower.

Understanding of charging properties of a small particle is necessary to control the particle contamination and to improve productivity of the electronic device in the plasma aided semiconductor manufacturing processes. In this study, the effects of both magnetic field and particle size on the charging properties are experimentally investigated in collisional dusty plasmas. The experiments carried out in the system consisted of a monodisperse particle generation system, a DC magnetized plasma generation system and a charge measurement system. The plasma chamber is made of cross-shape Pyrex surrounded by magnetic bucket (composed of 12 permanent magnetic bar) to confine the plasma. DC magnetic field up to 250G are applied to the plasma zone by external magnetic coil. Previous work shows the charging effect clearly increase with increasing the size of the particle and plasma density, as it was expected.

Unlike external bonded plate or carbon fiber, the external unbonded strengthening has some advantages in speed and simplicity of installation. It is not required surface preparations and not affected by environmental conditions. A set of six laboratory tests on RC beams strengthened using the technique are reported, results compared with non-strengthened specimens. The main test parameters are the cross-sectional area of the high-tension bar and the distance of stirrups. Test result show that the beams reinforced are superior to reference specimens, especially for the strength and deformation capacity. Also, it is shown that good efficiencies can be achived in shear strength of the beam.
