본 연구에서는 기체방전관의 과전압 보호 성능과 수명에 미치는 절연파괴 특성을 알아보기 위하여 황동전극을 이용하여 기체방전관을 제조하였다. 황동전극을 이용한 기체방전관의 절연파괴 특성은 인가전압의 기울기와 방전관 내부의 질소기체 압력을 통하여 알아보았다. 방전관 인가전압의 기울기가 증가할수록 절연파괴 전압과 방전 시 소비되는 에너지량이 크게 상승되었고, 절연파괴 시간은 감소되었다. 방전관 내부 질소기체의 압력이 감소할수록 절연파괴 전압과 절연파괴 소요시간, 방전 소비에너지량이 크게 감소되었다. 결과적으로, 방전관의 과전압 보호 성능 및 수명을 증진시키기 위해서는 절연파괴 전압과 절연파괴 소요시간, 방전 시 소비되는 에너지량이 감소되어야 함을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 방전관 내부 질소기체 압력이 방전관의 자체 수명 및 과전압 보호 성능에 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

포화된 다공질매체의 수치해석에서는 일반적으로 고체영역과 유체영역을 동시에 고려한 혼합유한요소해석(Mixed Finite Element Analysis)이 쓰인다. 여기서 고체영역과 유체영역에서의 변수를 계산하기 위해서는 직접법(Direct Method) 또는 반복법(Iterative method)을 사용할 수 있으나, 각 구성물질의 상이한 물리적 특성 때문에 수치안정성을 확보하기 위해서는 대부분 스태거드 방법(Staggered method)이 제안된다. 본 논문에서는 수치안정성을 높인 스태거드 방법에서 영역 분할기법 중 하나인 FETI(Finite Element Tearing and Interconnecting)기법을 고체영역에 접목시켜 수치효율성을 증대시키는 방법이 제안되었다. 고체영역에서 라그랑지 승수와 Conjugated Gradient Method를 이용해 영역 분할이 진행되고 MPI(Message Passing Interface) 라이브러리를 사용하여 수치 효율성을 검증하였다.

Two-step fed-batch fermentations were carried out to overproduce Bacillus licheniformis maltogenic amylase (BLMA) in recombinant Escherichia coli. The first step was to increase the cell mass by controlling the feeding of a glucose solution, while the second step was designed to improve the amylase expression efficiency by supplementing organic nitrogen sources. The linear gradient feeding method was successfully adopted to maintain the glucose concentration below 0.2 g/l during the fed-batch mode, as effectively minimizing acetic acid formation. When the dissolved oxygen (DO) level became limiting, an accumulation of acetic acid and drastic decrease in specific BLMA productivity were observed. Glucose and organic nitrogen sources consisting of yeast extract and casein hydrolysate were simultaneously supplied in the pH-stat mode to further increase the specific BLMA expression efficiency. An organic nitrogen source consisting of 200 g/1 yeast extract and 100 g/1 casein hydrolysate was found to be the best among the various combinations tested. The feeding of an organic nitrogen source in the second-step fed-batch period was highly beneficial in enhancing the BLMA production. The optimized two-step fed-batch culture resulted in 78 g/l maximum dry cell mass and 443 U/ml maximum BLMA activity, corresponding to 1.5-fold increase in the dry cell mass and 3.7-fold enhancement in BLMA production, compared with the simple fed-batch fermentation.

Phytoremediation has been used effectively for the biodegradation of oil-based contaminants, including diesel, by the stimulation of soil microbes near plant roots (rhizosphere). However, the technique has rarely been assessed for itsinfluence on soil microbial properties such as population, community structure, and diversity. In this study, the removal efficiency and characteristics of rhizobacteria for phytoremediation of diesel-contaminated soils were assessed using barnyard grass (Echinochloa crusgalli). The concentration of spiked diesel for treatments was around $6000\;mg\;kg^{-1}$. Diesel removal efficiencies reached 100% in rhizosphere soils, 76% in planted bulk soils, and 62% in unplanted bulk soils after 3weeks stabilization and 2 months growth(control, no microbial activity: 32%). The highest populations of culturable soil bacteria ($5.89{\times}10^8$ per g soil) and culturable hydrocarbon-degraders($5.65{\times}10^6$ per g soil) were found in diesel-contaminated rhizosphere soil, also yielding the highest microbial dehydrogenase. This suggests that the populations of soil bacteria, including hydrocarbon-degraders, were significantly increased by a synergistic rhizosphere + diesel effect. The diesel treatment alone resulted in negative population growth. In addition, we investigated the bacterial community structures of each soil sample based on DGGE (Denaturing Gel Gradient Electrophoresis) band patterns. Bacterial community structure was most influenced by the presence of diesel contamination (76.92% dissimilarity to the control) and by a diesel + rhizosphere treatment (65.62% dissimilarity), and least influenced by the rhizosphere treatment alone (48.15% dissimilarity). Based on the number of distinct DGGE bands, the bacterial diversity decreased with diesel treatment, but kept constant in the rhizosphere treatment. The rhizosphere thus positively influenced bacterial population density in diesel-contaminated soil, resulting in high removal efficiency of diesel.

Background: The purpose of our study was to compare the dosimetric advantages of Flattening filter free (FFF) beams for trigeminal neuralgia patients using 4 mm conical collimators over previously treated patients with 6 MV SRS beam. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for 5 TN patients who had been previously treated at our institution using frame-based, LINAC-based stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) on Novalis Tx using 6 MV SRS beam were replanned on 6X FFF beams on Edge Linear accelerator with same beam angles and dose constraints using 4 mm conical collimator. The total number of monitor units along with the beam on time was compared for both Edge and Novalis Tx by redelivering the plans in QA mode of LINAC to compare the delivery efficiency. Plan quality was evaluated by homogeneity index (HI) and Paddick gradient index (GI) for each plan. We also analyzed the doses to brainstem and organ at risks (OARs). Results and Discussion: A 28% beam-on time reduction was achieved using 6X FFF when compared with 6X SRS beam of Novalis Tx. A sharp dose fall off with gradient index value of $3.4{\pm}0.27$ for 4 mm Varian conical collimator while $4.17{\pm}0.20$ with BrainLab cone. Among the 5 patients treated with a 4 mm cone, average maximum brainstem dose was 10.24 Gy for Edge using 6X FFF and 14.28 Gy for Novalis Tx using 6X SRS beam. Conclusion: The use of FFF beams improves delivery efficiency and conical collimator reduces dose to OAR's for TN radiosurgery. Further investigation is warranted with larger sample patient data.

Motivated by the high-resolution properties of high-order Weighted Essentially Non-Oscillatory (WENO) and flux limiter (FL) for steep-gradient problems and the robust convergence of Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov (JFNK) methods for nonlinear systems, the preconditioned JFNK fully implicit high-order WENO and FL schemes are proposed to solve the transient two-phase two-fluid models. Specially, the second-order fully-implicit BDF2 is used for the temporal operator and then the third-order WENO schemes and various flux limiters can be adopted to discrete the spatial operator. For the sake of the generalization of the finite-difference-based preconditioning acceleration methods and the excellent convergence to solve the complicated and various operational conditions, the random vector instead of the initial condition is skillfully chosen as the solving variables to obtain better sparsity pattern or more positions of non-zero elements in this paper. Finally, the WENO_JFNK and FL_JFNK codes are developed and then the two-phase steep-gradient problem, phase appearance/disappearance problem, U-tube problem and linear advection problem are tested to analyze the convergence, computational cost and efficiency in detailed. Numerical results show that WENO_JFNK and FL_JFNK can significantly reduce numerical diffusion and obtain better solutions than traditional methods. WENO_JFNK gives more stable and accurate solutions than FL_JFNK for the test problems and the proposed finite-difference-based preconditioning acceleration methods based on the random vector can significantly improve the convergence speed and efficiency.

The degrees of freedom (DOFs) of high-rise structures increase rapidly due to the need for refined analysis, which poses a challenge toward a computationally efficient method for numerical analysis of high-rise structures using the finite element method (FEM). This paper presented an efficient iterative method, an algebraic multigrid (AMG) with a Jacobi overrelaxation smoother preconditioned conjugate gradient method (AMG-CG) used for solving large-scale structural system equations running on heterogeneous platforms with parallel accelerator graphics processing units (GPUs) enabled. Furthermore, an AMG-CG FEM application framework was established for the numerical analysis of high-rise structures. In the proposed method, the coarsening method, the optimal relaxation coefficient of the JOR smoother, the smoothing times, and the solution method for the coarsest grid of an AMG preconditioner were investigated via several numerical benchmarks of high-rise structures. The accuracy and the efficiency of the proposed FEM application framework were compared using the mature software Abaqus, and there were speedups of up to 18.4x when using an NVIDIA K40C GPU hosted in a workstation. The results demonstrated that the proposed method could improve the computational efficiency of solving structural system equations, and the AMG-CG FEM application framework was inherently suitable for numerical analysis of high-rise structures.

하중전달효율은 다웰이 설치되었거나 설치되지 않은 콘크리트포장 줄눈의 구조적 성능을 나타내기 위해 사용된다. ABAQUS 소프트웨어를 사용한 줄눈 콘크리트장의 3차원 모형이 본 연구를 통하여 구축되었다. 기층과 노상이 접착되어 구성된 하부층 위에 3개의 슬래브가 놓였으며, 스프링 요소를 사용하여 인접한 슬래브를 줄눈에서 연결하였다. 콘크리트포장의 다양한 줄눈강성을 모사하기 위하여 다양한 값의 스프링 상수를 입력값으로 사용하여 그 관계를 조사하였으며, 스프링 상수가 커질수록 줄눈의 하중전달효율이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 슬래브와 기증의 다양한 탄성계수와 두께를 사용하여 슬래브의 거동과 하중전달효율에 미치는 재료물성과 기하학적 형상의 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과 노상의 탄성계수는 기층의 탄성계수와 슬래브 및 기층의 두께보다 더 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 양 또는 영의 온도구배에서보다는 음의 온도구배에서 슬래브의 거동과 하중 전단효율이 더 민감 하게 변화하였으며, 낮은 강성의 줄눈은 슬래브의 온도구배에 더 민감한 것으로 나타났다.
