To estimate the local site effects at two town fortress areas where stone parapets were collapsed during historical earthquakes, site characteristics were evaluated using borehole drillings and seismic tests and equivalent-linear site response analyses were conducted based on the shear wave velocity (Vs) profiles determined from site investigations. The study sites are categorized as site classes C and B according to the mean Vs to 30 m ranging from 500 to 850 m/s, and their site periods are distributed in short period range of 0.06 to 0.16 sec. For site class C in the study areas, the short-period (0.1-0.5 sec) and mid-period (0.4-2.0 sec) site coefficients, $F_{\alpha}$ and $F_\nu$ specified in the Korean seismic design guide, underestimate the ground motion in short-period band and overestimate the ground motion in mid-period band, respectively, due to the characteristics showing high amplification in short period range, which can result in the collapse of stone parapets having the short natural period.

Electrical properties of carbon filler/PVdF [poly(vinylidene fluoride)] composite were investigated as a funtion of carbon filler/PVdF ratio in the range of 0.2${\sim}$0.5. Three kinds of comercialzied conductive carbon blacks such as Hiblack 41Y, KE300J, and KE600J, and carbon nanofibers prepared by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition of $C_2H_4$ over Ni-Cu catalysts were used as the carbon fillers. The electrical conductivity of carbon filler/PVdF composites were in the range of 0.65 to 13.5 S/cm depending the fillers' electrical conductivity ranging from 5.6 to 23.1 S/cm. Among the carbon fillers used, the KE600J carbon black showed the highest conductivity both in the composite and filler itself because of its high degree of graphitization due to the high-temperature thermal treatment and its high surface area due to the activation treatment.

We have studied the temperature dependence of the $^{1}H$ NMR spin-lattice relaxation for the impure $CuF_{2}.2H_{2}O$ over a temperature range from 77 K to room temperature. We find that the remperature dependence of the $^{1}H$ spin-lattice relaxation is dominated by the eletron spin-flip and the Raman process of eletron spin-lattice relaxation. The electron spin-flip exchange energy was calculated to be $1.8(\pm0.04)$ K.

Present study was conducted to investigate the optimal feeding levels for producing the high quality meat on the basis of the information deriving from the comparison of the growth performance and carcass characteristics among breeds(Holstein vs F1, Holstein♀×Hanwoo♂), sex(steer vs heifer) and interaction between breed and sex. Thirty two animals on 4 treatments(i.e. eight head each) were used for 540 days from seven to 24 months of age. The results obtained are summarized as follows; the range of average daily gains was 0.733 to 1.018, 0.994 to 1.255, 0.947 to 1.259 and 0.736 to 0.824kg for the growing, the early-fattening, the mid- fattening and the finishing periods, respectively. The range of average daily gains for the entire period was 0.882 to 1.061kg. The gains were higher for Holstein(7.3%) and the steers(10.5%) than F1 and the heifers, respectively. Concentrates and total digestible nutrients intakes per kg gain were higher for Holstein and the heifers than F1 and the steers, respectively. These findings may indicate that feed utilization is higher for Holstein than F1, and higher for the steers than the heifers. In carcass characteristics, back fat thickness was thicker for Holstein than F1, and rib-eye area was smaller for Holstein than F1. The rib-eye area per kg carcass weight was larger for F1 and the heifers than Holstein and the steers, respectively. Meat color was better for Holstein than F1, but the sex distinction did not show any differences. In physicochemical properties of longissimus dorsi, shear force, cooking loss, water holding capacity and the panel test scores of juiciness, tenderness and flavor for F1 and the heifers were better than those for Holstein and the steers, respectively. According to the above results, we may conclude that F1 and heifers rather than Holstein and steers are recommended for high quality meat production. In steers and heifers of Holstein and F1, the optimal feeding levels may be 1.9% of apparent body weight for concentrates and 25% of concentrates intake for rice straw.

An injector for fuel rich gas generator was designed and experimentally investigated. Five variations of F-O-F triplet impinging type injector were tested to evaluate spray characteristics with kerosene/water simulant propellant. Test was focused to find the effect of design variables of impinging angle, and impinging distance, on the atomization performance. A mixing efficiency is used to compare droplet distribution and local O/F ratio of each injector in the range of momentum ratio of 0.2~1.3. Test results shows the max value of mixing efficiency locates about the 0.8 in momentum ratio. And the injector with an impinging angle of 45 degree and impinging distance of 6mm shows the very good performance result suitable for fuel rich gas generator. A combustion test will be also conducted with selected injector to verify the spray pattern and mixing efficiency.

A wideband instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) system is been proposed, designed and analyzed. Phase modulation to intensity modulation conversion is implemented based on the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) effect, and the microwave frequency can be measured by detecting the change in output power. Theoretical analysis shows that the frequency measurement range can be extended to 4f_b by adjusting the two sweeping signals of the phase modulators with a difference of 2f_b. The IFM system is set up using VPI transmission maker software and the performances are simulated and analyzed. The simulation results show that the measurement range is 0.5-45.96 GHz with a maximum measurement error of less than 9.9 MHz. The proposed IFM system has a wider measurement range than the existing SBS-based IFM system.

Purpose: $^{18}F$-FDG injected dose to the patient is quite different between the recommended dose from manufacturer and the actual dose applied to each of hospitals. injection of inappropriate $^{18}F$-FDG dose may not only increase the exposed dose to patients but also reduce the image quality. we thus evaluated the proper $^{18}F$-FDG injected dose to decrease the exposed dose to patients considering the image quality. Materials And Methods: NEMA Nu2-1994 phantom was filled with $^{18}F$-FDG increasing hot cylinder radioactivity concentration to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 MBq/kg based on the ratio of 4:1 between the hot cylinder and background activity. after completing the transmission scan using ct, emission scan was acquired in 3D mode for 2 minutes 30 seconds/bed. ROI was set up on hot cylinder and background radioactivity region. after measuring $SUV_{max}$ those regions, then analyzed SNR at the points. clinical experiment has been conducted the object of patients who have came to smc from november 2009 to august 2010, 97 patients without having a hepatic lesions were selected. ROI was set up in the liver and thigh area. after measuring $SUV_{max}$, the image quality was compared following the injected dose. Results: in phantom study, as the injected radioactivity concentration per unit mass was 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 MBq/kg, $SUV_{max}$ was 23.1, 24.1, 24.3, 22.8, 23.6 and SNR was shown 0.48, 0.54, 0.56, 0.55, 0.55. according to increment of the injected dose, $SUV_{max}$ and SNR was increased under 5 MBq/kg but they were decreased over 7 MBq/kg. in case of clinical experiment, as increased the injected radioactivity concentration per unit mass was 4.72, 5.34, 6.16, 7.41, 8.68 MBq/kg, $SUV_{max}$ was 2.68, 2.67, 2.26, 1.88, 1.95 and SNR was shown 0.52, 0.53, 0.46, 0.46, 0.44. if the injected dose exceeds 5 MBq/kg, showed a decrease pattern as phantom study. Conclusion: increasing $^{18}F$-FDG injected dose considered patient's body weight improve image quality within a certain range. if it exceeds the range, it can be reduced image quality due to random and scatter coincidences. this study indicates that the optimal injected dose was 5 MBq/kg per unit mass the injected radioactivity concentration in 3d wb pet/ct.

The TSEE characteristics of LiF(Mg,Cu,Na,Si)phosphor for gamma and beta rays are described. The TSEE glow curve of this phosphor showed 5 peaks in the range from $20^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ and its main peak appeared at $240^{\circ}C$. The sensitivity of the phospor for $^{60}Co$ gamma rays was about 450counts/mR. TSEE energy dependence for various beta radiation was nearly constant (${\pm}10%$) in the mean beta particle energy range from 0.02MeV to 0.8MeV. The efficiency of TSEE of the phosphor for beta radiation was $(2{\sim}15){\times}10^{-3}$.
