  • 인공심장에서의 박출량제어는 전부하에 따른 심박출균형, 심실내 완전충만과 완전구출을 구현하는데 그 목적이 있다. 본 논문에서는 인공심장 내부의 심실간 공간 압력파형을 심박출량의 제어에 활용하였다. 이를 위해서는 심실간 공간의 압력파형을 심실 유입부와 유출부의 혈류량에 대한 정보, 이동작동기의 위치신호와 동기시켜 해석하는 것이 필요하다. 이러한 압력파형의 해석을 바탕으로, 심실간 공간의 음압 크기로 좌,우 심방압을 추정하고 작동기의 좌,우 수축기때 심실간 공간의 음압크기를 비슷하게 유지하도록 작동거리를 제어하면 좌우 심박출 균형을 이룰 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, 심실의 완전충만과 완전구출의 실현을 위한 심실 충만 정도를 추정할 수 있게 하는 인자를 제시하였다.

  • A liquid-based colorimetric assay using a pH indicator was introduced for high-throughput monitoring of lysine decarboxylase activity. The assay is based on the color change of bromocresol purple, measured at 595 nm in liquid reaction mixture, due to an increase of pH by the production of cadaverine. Bromocresol purple was selected as the indicator because it has higher sensitivity than bromothymol blue and pheonol red within a broad range and shows good linearity within the applied pH. We applied this for simple determination of lysine decarboxylase reusability using 96-well plates, and optimization of conditions for enzyme overexpression with different concentrations of IPTG on lysine decarboxylase. This assay is expected to be applied for monitoring and quantifying the liquid-based enzyme reaction in biotransformation of decarboxylase in a high-throughput way.

  • The needs for change in the traditional on engineering education system in Korea have been evoked since 1998 when the Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea (ABEEK) was about to be established. The engineering college at Yeungnam University has been one of the most active members in the Korean higher education institutions which participated in the ABEEK movement at the earliest stage. This paper reports the efforts made by Yeungnam University in preparing for the trial accreditation of engineering programs for the first time in Korea. The reformation and restructuring were made in many areas in order to establish the self-improving circulative engineering education system. The accreditation criteria were thoroughly investigated, and reforms were made in individual programs based on the critical assessment of existing system. The contents of educational reform and the experience during the trial accreditation process are summarized and discussed.

  • Not all structural columns maintain a vertical orientation. Several contemporary building structures have inclined columns, introducing distinct challenges, particularly in buckling behavior. This study examines the buckling behavior of inclined, thin-walled steel bundled columns, differing from typical vertical columns. Using specimens with three tubes welded to plates linearly aligned at the top and triangularly at the bottom, tests indicated that buckling capacity increases with tube wall thickness and diameter but decreases with column height. Inclined tubes in bundled columns showed improved buckling resistance over vertical ones. Results were verified against standard steel design guidelines to assess their predictive accuracy.
