  • 본 연구에서는 사이드 빔이 1차 현가장치 역할을 수행하도록 설계된 복합소재 대차프레임의 적용성 검토를 위해 동특성 해석과 성능평가를 수행하였다. 대차프레임에 적용된 소재는 GEP224 유리섬유/에폭시 프리프레그이다. 성능검증을 위해 복합소재 대차프레임의 사이드 빔의 두께를 50mm, 80mm, 150mm로 변화시키면서 강성을 조절한 모델에 대해서 주행성능을 해석적으로 평가하였다. 주행성능평가에서 사이드 빔의 두께가 80mm인 모델은 모든 성능조건을 만족하였고, 사이드 빔 두께가 50mm인 경우 역시 모든 성능조건을 만족하지만 임계속도가 요구조건에 2%정도의 여유 밖에 없어 적합하지 않았다. 사이드 빔 두께가 150mm인 모델의 경우 공차시 수직방향 승차감 지수가 기준을 만족하지 못해 부적합한 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 사이드 빔의 두께가 80mm인 모델을 제작하여 대차에 설치하고, 주행시험대 시험을 통해 임계속도를 시험적으로 평가하였다. 주행시험대 시험에서는 휠세트에 횡방향 가진을 부과하고, 목표속도까지 증속과정에서 횡방향 가진에 의한 휠세트 횡변위의 발산현상은 발생하지 않았다. 또한, 횡방향 가진이 제거된 이후 휠세트의 횡변위 역시 수렴하여 최대 임계속도는 차량 동역학 해석에서 예측된 최대 임계속도와 유사함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

  • The main objectives of this study were to analyze the concept of hope, so to provide basic data to develop a valid instrument to measure hope, and to develop hope enhancing nursing intervention a program for cancer patients. The hybrid model approach was applied in three phases, the theoretical phase, the empirical phase, and the analytic phase. The study was developed on universal attributes explaining generalized hope and specific hope, which were revealed in a comprehensive review of the literature. In the empirical phase, eight cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy were interviewed to reveal causes, motivation, and their resource of hope according to The Hope Assessment Guide (Farren, Herth, & Popovich, 1995). In the analytical phase, the results of the two previous stages of the study were compared. The results were as follows : In the theoretical phase, six dimensions of hope emerged; affective, cognitive, behavioral, affiliative, temporal and contextual dimension. The antecedent of hope was loss, crisis, uncertainity, and stress. The consequences were renewal, development of new methods, safety, peace and transcendental competence. In the empirical phase, these six dimensions emerged as theoretical phases were verified and specified as these descriptive terms: feeling, intention, expectation, activity, relation, future- orientation, reality and goal-setting. The antecedent factor of hope was occurrence or recurrence of cancer. The consequence of hope was ability to cope with real condition, feeling of safety and comfort, peace, development of new strategy and recovery of disease. The major content of hope in this phase was related to specific hope, but it was also influenced on by general hope. In the analytic phase, general and specific hope was renamed as trait and state hope. All attributes emerged at the empirical phases, and also emerged at the theoretical phase. However, cognitive and contextual dimensions were revised and specified. In conclusion, the concept of hope is divided into trait hope and state hope, and state hope is an anticipatory expectation that occurs at the time of a stressful stimulus, such as being diagnosed with cancer. Hope is a multidimensional dynamic energized mental state which has the dimensions of affective, cognitive, behavioral, affiliative, temporal and contextual. There should be further studies to develope the state and trait hope scale according to definition and attributes of hope investigated in this study. In addition, considering results of the empirical phase, the family is very a important factor as a resource of hope, so it is necessary to consider family in implementing a nursing intervention program to enhance hope.

  • 이 연구는 아베 신조(安倍晉三) 일본 내각이 출범한 후 일본 과거사 문제에 대한 일본 입장에 대해 한국 언론이 어떤 반응으로 대응했으며, 내각 시기별 보도과정에 어떤 변화가 일어났는지를 엔트만(Enatman)의 프레임 분석틀과 치이(Chi)와 맥콤스(McCombs)가 제안한 '프레임 변화(framechanging)' 개념을 적용해 살펴보았다. 분석결과를 정리하면 다음과 같다. 한국 언론은 일본 정부의 과거사 인식 문제에 대해 반성적 회고를 하거나 미래 지향적 해법을 제시하기보다는 양국의 현안적 논쟁이나 쟁점을 중심으로 보도했다. 또한 국가적 단위 차원에서, 그리고 정치적 협상방식을 중심으로 일본 정부의 과거사 인식문제를 해결해야 한다는 점을 주장했다. 더 나아가 양국 간의 갈등원인으로 일본군 위안부 문제를 꼽았으며, 일본 내각을 갈등유발 주체로 지목했다. 이론적으로 한국 언론에서 자주 지적되어 온 정파적 이데올로기적 요인이 적어도 일본 정부의 과거사 인식 문제에 관한 한 두드러지게 작동하지 않았다. 한국 언론은 일본 정부의 과거사 인식 문제를 냉정하고, 객관적으로 평가하는 관찰자 입장에 서기보다는 정부가 지향하는 대(對)일본 정책을 지지, 옹호하거나 일본에 대한 국민의 감정을 전달하는 자국중심의 애국주의적 보도관행에 머물러 있다는 점을 중심으로 토론했다.

  • 메가골조시스템은 사용되는 구조재료를 절약하면서도 구조물의 강성을 효과적으로 높일 수 있는 장점 때문에 고층건물의 설계에 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 메가골조시스템이 주로 적용되고 있는 초고층건물의 구조설계에서는 횡하중에 대한 거주자의 불안감을 최소화시키는 것이 주요한 관심사중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 메가골조구조물의 사용성을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로 일반적인 수동 TMD의 제어성능을 개선한 준능동 TMD(STMD)를 사용하였다. 이를 위하여 TMD에서 일반적으로 사용되고 있는 수동감쇠기 대신 준능동 MR 감쇠기를 사용하여 STMD를 구성하였다. 메가골조구조물의 일반적인 유한요소해석모델은 매우 많은 수의 자유도로 구성되어 있기 때문에 원형모델을 사용하여 STMD의 제어성능을 검토하는 것은 현실적으로 불가능하다. 따라서 메가골조구조물의 동적 거동을 정확하게 표현할 수 있는 최소한의 자유도를 가진 응축모델을 행렬응축기법을 이용하여 제안하였다. 또한 일반적인 행렬응축기법의 효율성을 향상시키기 위하여 메가골조구조물의 특성을 활용한 다단계 행렬응축기법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 응축모델을 사용한 제어의 효율성과 정확성 및 메가골조구조물에 대한 STMD의 제어성능을 예제해석을 통하여 검증하였다.

  • 궤도지지강성은 차량이 주행함에 있어 궤도와 차량에 매우 큰 영향을 미치며, 이는 궤도 파괴이론에 근거한 궤도유지관리와 승객의 승차감에 영향을 준다. 또한 궤도설계 시 고려되는 궤도지지강성은 이론에 근거한 계산치이며 이는 공용중인 궤도에서의 실제 궤도지지강성과는 상이하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현장측정을 통해 동적 윤중과 레일수직변위, 레일저부응력을 측정하여 궤도지지강성을 산출하였고 이를 이론 궤도지지강성과 비교 분석하였다. 현장측정결과 자갈도상궤도에서의 궤도지지강성은 자갈의 상태에 직접적인 영향을 받으며 콘크리트궤도의 경우 궤도구조별(일반적인 침목매입식, 레일플로팅, 침목플로팅) 궤도구조특성에 직접적인 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 자갈 및 콘크리트궤도 모두 설계 시 적용되는 궤도지지강성이 측정된 궤도지지강성에 비해 과소평가되는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 공용중인 궤도의 상태평가 시 현장의 궤도상태를 반영하지 못한 예측 및 평가가 될 소지가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 궤도구조형식 및 궤도상태별 궤도지지 강성의 범위를 실험적으로 제시하였다.

  • Objective: The objective of this study was to describe a methodological procedure to quantify the heat production (HP) partitioning in basal metabolism or fasting heat production (FHP), heat production due to physical activity (HPA), and the thermic effect of feeding (TEF) in roosters. Methods: Eighteen 54-wk-old Hy Line Brown roosters (2.916±0.15 kg) were allocated in an open-circuit chamber of respirometry for O2 consumption (VO2), CO2 production (VCO2), and physical activity (PA) measurements, under environmental comfort conditions, following the protocol: adaptation (3 d), ad libitum feeding (1 d), and fasting conditions (1 d). The Brouwer equation was used to calculate the HP from VO2 and VCO2. The plateau-FHP (parameter L) was estimated through the broken line model: HP = U×(R-t)×I+L; I = 1 if t<R or I = 0 if t>R; Where the broken-point (R) was assigned as the time (t) that defined the difference between a short and long fasting period, I is conditional, and U is the decreasing rate after the feed was withdrawn. The HP components description was characterized by three events: ad libitum feeding and short and long fasting periods. Linear regression was adjusted between physical activity (PA) and HP to determine the HPA and to estimate the standardized FHP (st-FHP) as the intercept of PA = 0. Results: The time when plateau-FHP was reached at 11.7 h after withdrawal feed, with a mean value of 386 kJ/kg0.75/d, differing in 32 kJ from st-FHP (354 kJ/kg0.75/d). The slope of HP per unit of PA was 4.52 kJ/mV. The total HP in roosters partitioned into the st-FHP, termal effect of feeding (TEF), and HPA was 56.6%, 25.7%, and 17.7%, respectively. Conclusion: The FHP represents the largest fraction of energy expenditure in roosters, followed by the TEF. Furthermore, the PA increased the variation of HP measurements.

Focus has been put on current status of research in the aspect of heating, cooling, ventilation, sanitation and building environment. The conclusions are as follows. 1) A review of the recent studies on fluid flow, turbomachinery and pipe-network shows that many experimental investigations are conducted in applications of impingement jets. Researches on turbulent flows, pipe flows, pipe-networks are focused on analyses of practical systems and prediction of system performance. The results of noise reduction in the turbomachinery are also reported. 2) A review of the recent studies on heat transfer analysis and heat exchanger shows that there were many papers on the channel flow with the application to the design of heat exchanger in the heat transfer analysis. Various experimental and numerical papers on heat exchanger were also published, however, there were few papers available for the analysis of whole system including heat exchanger. 3) A review of the recent studies on heat pump system have focused on the multi-type system and the heat pump cycle to utilize treated sewage as the heat source. The defrosting and the frosting behaviors in the fin-tube heat exchanger is experimentally examined by several authors. Several papers on the ice storage cooling system are presented to show the dynamic simulation program and optimal operation conditions. The study on the micro heat pipes for the cooling of high power electronic components is carried out to examine the characteristics of heat and mass transfer processed. In addition to these, new type of separate thermosyphon is studied experimentally. 4) The recent studies on refrigeration/air conditioning system have focused on the system performance and efficiency for new alternative refrigerants. New systems operating with natural refrigerants are drawing lots of attention.

  • Care is a central concept of nursing. Nursing would not exist without caring. Care and quality of life are closely related. Human behavior is a manifestation of culture. We can say that caring and nursing care are expression of culture. The nurse must understand the relationship of culture with care for ensure quality nursing care. But knowledge of cultural factors in nursing is not well developed. Time and in - depth study are needed to find meaningful relationships between culture and care. Nurses recognized the importance of culturally appropriate nursing There are two care systems in culturally based nursing. The folk care system and the professional nursing care system. The folk care system existed long before the professional nursing care system was introduced into this culture. If the discrepancy between these two care systems is great, the client may receive inappropriate nursing care. Culture and subcaltures are diverse and dynamic in nature. Nurses need to know the caring behaviors, patterns, and their meaning in their own culture. In Korea we have taken some first step to study cultural nursing phenomena. It is not our intent necessarily to return to the past and develop a nationalistic of nursing, but to identify the core of traditional caring and relate that to professional nursing care. Our Assumptions are as follows : 1) Care is essential for human growth, well being and survial. 2) 7here are diverse and universal forma, expressions, patterns, and processes of human care that exist transcul - turally. 3) The behaviors and functions of caring differ according to the social structure of each culture. 4) Cultures have folk and professional care values, beliefs, and practices. To promote the quality of nursing care we must understand the folk care value, beliefs, and practices. We undertook this study to understand caring in our traditional culture. The Goals of this study were as follows : 1) To identify patterns in caring behavior, 2) To identify the structural components of caring, and 3) To understand the meaning and some principles of caring. We faised several questions in this study. Who is the care-giver? Who is the care-receipient? Was the woman the major care -giver at any time? What are the patterns in caring behavior? What art the priciples underlying the caring process? We used an interdisciplinary team approach, composed of representatives from nursing and anthropology, to contribute in -depth understanding of caring through a socicaltural perspeetive. A Field study was conducted in Ro-Bong, a small agricultural kinship village. The subjects were nine women and one man aged be or more years of age. Data were collected from january 15 to 21, 1990 through opem-ended in-depth interviews and observations. The interview focused on caring behaviors sorrounding birth, aging, death and child rearing. We analysed these data for meaning, pattern and priciples of caring. In this report we describe caring behaviors surrounding childbirth. The care-givers were primarily mothers- in -low, other women in the family older than the mother - to- be, older neighbor woman, husbands, and mothers of the mother-to- be. The care receivers were the mother-to-be the baby, and the immediate family as a component of kinship. Emerging caring behavior included praying, helping proscribing, giving moral advice(Deug - Dam), showing concern, instructing, protecting, making preparations, showing consideration, touching, trusting, encouraging, giving emotional comfort, being with, worrying about, being patient, preventing problems, showing by an example, looking after bringing up, taking care of postnatal health, streng thening the health condition, entering into another's feelings(empathizing), and sharing food, joy and sorrow The emerging caring component were affection, touching, nurtuing, teaching, praying, comforting, encouraging, sharing. empathizing, self - discipline, protecting, preparing, helping and compassion. Emerging principles of. caring were solidarity, heir- archzeal relationships, sex - role distinction. Caring during birth expresses the valve of life and reflects the valued traditional beliefs that human birth is given by god and a unique unifying family event reaching back to include the ancestors and foreward to later generations. In addition, We found positive and rational foundations for traditionl caring behaviors surrounding birth, these should not be stigmatized as inational or superstitious. The nurse appropriately adopts the rational and positive nature of traditional caring behaviors to promote the quality of nursing care.
