Electric vehicles (EVs) are significant resources for demand response (DR). Thus, it is essential for EV aggregators to quantitatively evaluate their capability for DR. In this paper, a concept of dynamic equivalent battery (DEB) is proposed as a metric for evaluating the DR performance using EVs. The DEB is the available virtual battery for DR. The capacity of DEB is determined from stochastic calculation while satisfying the charging requirements of each EV, and it varies also with time. Further, a new indicator based on the DEB and time-varying electricity prices, named as value of DEB (VoDEB), is introduced to quantify the value of DEB coupled with the electricity prices. The effectiveness of the DEB and the VoDEB as metrics for the DR performance of EVs is verified with the simulations, where the difference of charging cost reduction between direct charging and optimized bidding methods is used to express the DR performance. The simulation results show that the proposed metrics accord well with the DR performance of an EV fleet. Thus, an EV aggregator may utilize the proposed concepts of DEB and VoDEB for designing an incentive scheme to EV users, who participate in a DR program.

The effects of different dietary electrolyte balance (DEB) on growth performance, nitrogen (N) metabolism and some blood biochemical parameters were investigated in 2 to 3 months old growing rabbits. A total of 150 growing rabbits of 2 months age were randomly divided into five groups according to average body weight, with 30 rabbits in each group. The DEB levels of the five experimental diets were -154, -3.16, +201, +347, and +500 meq/kg of dry matter (DM), respectively. There was a 7-d adaptation period and a 23-d experimental period. The results showed that the DEB levels had a quadratic affect on the average daily feed intake (ADFI) (p<0.001). The greatest ADFI was achieved when the DEB level was +201 meq/kg DM. Fecal N (FN) content linearly decreased (0.047), while digestible N (DN), retained N (RN), efficiency of intake N converted into digestible N (DN/IN) and the efficiency of intake N converted into retained N (RN/IN) linearly increased with the DEB increase (0.020, 0.004, 0.021, and 0.049, respectively). Serum phosphorus (P) ion content linearly increased with the DEB increase (p = 0.036). The DEB had a quadratic relationship with serum anion gap (AG) (p = 0.002) and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) content (p = 0.016). The DEB levels quadratically affected base excess (BE) in the plasma (p<0.001). In conclusion, the DEB unaffected growth performance but affected feed intake, N metabolism and some blood biochemical parameters of growing rabbits.

2011년 7월 27일 서울 지역에 내린 시간당 100mm가 넘는 집중호우로 우면산 일대에 산사태가 발생하였고, 그 결과 많은 인명과 재산 피해가 야기되었다. 이러한 토석류로 인한 피해를 저감하기 위한 여러 연구가 이루어진 바 있으나, 대부분의 연구는 연행작용에 대해서 고려하지 못하고 있거나, 인명과 재산 피해의 큰 비중을 차지하는 건물은 모의 분석에 제외되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 연행작용을 고려할 수 있는 Deb2D 모형을 이용하여 하류부에서 토석류의 유동을 건물의 유/무를 구분하여 분석하였다. 우면산 북측사면의 산사태 전 후의 항공 LiDAR DEM을 활용하여 DB를 확보하였고, 추가적으로 수치지형도를 통해 얻은 피해지역 건물들의 형상을 Deb2D 모형에 적용하여 실제 환경과 가까운 모의를 수행하였다. 이러한 자료들을 바탕으로 Deb2D 모형을 이용한 토석류 유동의 분석 및 모의실험을 진행하였고, 발생 지역의 정보가 부족하다는 점을 고려하여 지질특성에 따른 매개변수를 다양한 값으로 산정하여 토석류의 유동을 비교 분석하였다. 건물의 유/무에 따른 토석류 유동의 차이는 유역 하류부인 피해지역에서 모의실험을 통해 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 통하여 연행작용과 건물의 정보를 분석 모형에 추가함으로써 실질적인 인명과 재산 피해를 예측하고, 예방할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this studies, Dapped End Beams(DEB) having disturbed regions were designed by using strut tie model, and the main purpose of this paper is that whether T-headed bars and Steel fibers will be present or not. The ability of DEB with T-headed bars have a superior performance rather than others, such as improved ductility, larger energy adsorption and enhanced post-peak load carrying capability. The capacity of DEB with steel fibers also show increase of ductility, shear strength, fatigue strength and crack. Each DEB with both headed bars and steel fibers, headed bars, and steel fibers as a substitute reinforced steel in the disturbed regions and a DEB with only stirrup and tie reinforced steel were comparable. In contrast, the headed bar stirrups, the tie headed bars and the reinforced steel fibers did not lose their anchorage and hence were able to develop strain hardening and also served to delay buckling of the flexural compression steel. Excellent load-deflection predictions were obtained by increasing the tension stiffening effect to account for high load effects.

Ca/LiCl-KCl/CaCrO$_4$열 전지계의 양극재료로서 BCT(Body-Centered Tetragonal) 결정구조를 갖는 CaCrO$_4$분말을 GNP로 합성하고, SEM, TEM, XRD를 이용하여 그 미세구조를 분석하였다. GNP 공정에 의한 CaCrO$_4$분말은 단일상으로 0.5$mu extrm{m}$ 이하의 입자 크기를 가지며 균일하게 분포한 반면, 기존의 분말 혼합법은 높은 하수 온도 및 장시간의 하소 조건을 필요하므로 미세한 분말 합성이 어렵고 pellet 형태로 만들었을 때 GNP 분말에 비해 비표면적이 현저하게 작기 때문에 전극 재료로써 유리하지 못하다. Ca/LiCl-KCl/CaCrO$_4$계의 전기 화학적인 특성을 평가해본 결과 전지셀을 Ca/DEB(LiCl-KCl+CaCrO$_4$+SiO$_2$)와 같은 DEB 형태로 만들었을 때 $600^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 2.0 V이상 (<100 mA/㎤)의 안정한 전압이 5분 이상 유지되었다. 그러나 3층 전극 셀(Ca/LiCl/KCl/ CaCrO$_4$)에서는 동일한 온도에서 2.0 V이상 (<100 mA/㎤)의 전압이 7분 이상 유지되었으나 불안정한 전압 변동 및 낮은 peak voltage로 인해 DEB 셀의 전지 특성이 더 우수한 것으로 생각된다. 양극 재료의 제조 방법의 관점에서 볼 때, 동일한 DEB(Depolarizer : Electrolyte : Binder=25 : 70 : 5 wt%) 조성의 셀 구성시, GNP 분말은 분말 혼합법에 의한 분말보다 반응 표면적이 훨씬 크기 때문에 GNP 양극 활 물질의 DEB 셀에서의 전지 수명이 더 길었다.

Rice blast, which is caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea, is one of the most destructive diseases of rice. To identify genes involving in the signal transduction pathways that mediate rice blast resistance, we screened over 2,000 mutant lines of a highly resistant variety RIL260 that were generated by using a DEB (1, 3-Butadiene diepoxide) treatment method. In the mutant population, the frequency of albino plants was 6.7%, indicating that this population has a high frequency of mutations in the genome. The primary screening identified 29 mutant plants that exhibit a complete or partial loss of the resistance to rice blast. Among them, M5465, the most susceptible line, was subsequently examined by DNA gel-blot experiments using DNA molecular markers of Pi5(t) that has been previously identified as a durable resistance locus in RIL260. The result revealed that a large deletion and rearrangement of genomic DNA occurred in the Pi5(t) locus. The results suggest that DEB can be used as an efficient mutagen to induce large scale mutations in the rice genome. The isolated mutants should be useful for elucidating the Pi5(t)-mediated signaling pathways of rice blast resistance.

산 경사면에서 발생한 토석류는 지형변화에 큰 영향을 미치는 대표적인 자연재해 중 하나다. 특히, 도심지역에서 발생된 토석류는 유동 및 퇴적과정에서 막대한 재산피해와 인명피해를 야기할 수 있다. 이러한 토석류의 피해를 줄이기 위해 토석류의 유동과 피해규모 예측을 위한 여러 수치모형들이 선행연구들을 통해 소개된 바 있다. 최근엔 토석류의 유동과정 및 피해 규모에 큰 영향을 미치는 침식과 연행작용을 구현하기 위한 침식모형이 집중적으로 연구되어지고 있다. 하지만 국내에선 침식 및 연행작용을 구현해 분석하는 것은 아직 제한적인 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 한국에서 개발된 수치모형으로 침식 및 연행작용을 구현할 수 있는 Deb2D 모형을 활용하여 다양한 침식모형을 적용하여 토석류의 유동을 분석하고 피해규모를 예측하고자 한다. Deb2D 모형은 2차원 수치해석 모형으로 적응형 격자를 기반으로 토석류를 구현하고 있으며 본 연구에선 유동학적 모형으론 Voellmy 모형을 선택하고, 침식모형으론 Sovilla, Frank 그리고 Medina 모형을 선택하여 연구를 진행했다. 2011년 우면산에서 발생한 일련의 산사태를 대상으로 토석류의 유동과 피해규모를 구현했으며 수치모형의 정확성 판단을 위해 현장 조사를 통해 얻어진 토석류의 피해 범위, 총퇴적량 그리고 특정 지점에서 관측된 최대 퇴적 높이 및 최대 속도를 비교자료로 활용했다. 특히, 연구지역의 토석류 발생 전·후 DEMs(Digital Elevation Models)을 통해 공간에 따른 침식 깊이 자료를 얻어, 이를 Deb2D 모형을 통해 분석된 결과와 비교·분석했다.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer that is frequently diagnosed at an advanced stage. Transarterial chemoembolisation (TACE) is an effective palliative treatment for patients who are not eligible for curative treatment. The two main methods for performing TACE are conventional (c-TACE) or with drug eluting beads (DEB-TACE). We sought to compare survival rates and tumour response between patients undergoing c-TACE and DEB-TACE at our centre. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing either treatment was carried out from January 2009 to December 2014. Tumour response to the procedures was evaluated according to the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess and compare the overall survival in the two groups. Results: A total of 79 patients were analysed (34 had c-TACE, 45 had DEB-TACE) with a median follow-up of 11.8 months. A total of 20 patients in the c-TACE group (80%) and 12 patients in the DEB-TACE group (44%) died during the follow up period. The median survival durations in the c-TACE and DEB-TACE groups were $4.9{\pm}3.2$ months and $8.3{\pm}2.0$ months respectively (p=0.008). There was no statistically significant difference noted among the two groups with respect to mRECIST criteria. Conclusions: DEB-TACE demonstrated a significant improvement in overall survival rates for patients with unresectable HCC when compared to c-TACE. It is a safe and promising approach and should potentially be considered as a standard of care in the management of unresectable HCC.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: There is little information on the association between weight misperception and eating behavior in Korean adolescents. Therefore, we investigated the association of food intake habits and dieting method and disturbed eating behavior (DEB) in relation to weight misperception. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data was collected by using a nationwide online panel survey from 6,943 adolescents enrolled in middle/high school. DEB was measured with the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26) and those who scored ${\geq}20$ on the EAT-26 were considered to have eating disorder. Logistic regressions were conducted to examine the association between weight misperception based on self-reported weight status and dieting method and eating behaviors. RESULTS: The proportion of weight underestimation was 23.5% and that of overestimation was 24.0%. Weight overestimating girls were more likely to engage in various unhealthy dieting practices (OR = 1.69 for fasting; OR = 1.88 for laxative or diuretic use; OR = 2.05 for self-induced vomiting after meals; P < 0.05). Moreover, there was a strong association between overestimation and undesirable eating behaviors, especially among girls, e.g.: having breakfast (OR = 0.85), high consumption of fast foods (OR = 1.28) and regular sodas (OR = 1.39), but not among boys. In both genders, weight overestimation appears to be a major risk factor for DEB (OR = 1.34 for boys and OR = 1.41 for girls; P < 0.05). CONSLUSIONS: Weight overestimation is associated with unhealthy weight control practices and eating behaviors. We particularly found a significant association between weight overestimation and DEB among nationwide Korean adolescents.
