For the mechanical stability assessment of a deep underground high-level waste repository. computer simulations using FLAC3D were carried out and important parameters including stress ratio, depth, tunnel size, joint spacing, and joint properties were chosen from sensitivity analysis. The main effect as well as the interaction effect between the important parameters could be investigated effectively using fractional factorial design . In order to analyze the stability of the disposal tunnel and deposition hole in a discontinuous rock mass, different modelings were performed under different conditions using 3DEC and the influence of joint distribution and properties, rock properties and stress ratio could be determined. From the three dimensional modelings, it was concluded that the conceptual repository design was mechanically stable even in a discontinuous rock mass.

This paper proposes a novel fractional frequency reuse(FFR) based on dynamic user distribution. In the FFR, a macro cell is divided into two regions, i.e., the inner region(IR) and outer region(OR). The criterion for dividing the IR and OR is the distance ratio of the radius. However, these distance-based criteria are uncertain in measuring user performance. This is because there are various attenuation phenomena such as shadowing and wall penetration as well as path loss. Therefore, we propose a novel FFR based on dynamic user classification with signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR) of macro users and classify the FFR into two regions newly. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme has better performance than the conventional FFR in terms of SINR and throughput of macro cell users.

Small-cells in heterogeneous networks are one of the important technologies to increase the coverage and capacity in 5G cellular networks. However, due to the randomly arranged small-cells, co-tier and cross-tier interference increase, deteriorating the system performance of the network. In order to manage the interference, some channel management methods use fractional frequency reuse(FFR) that divides the cell coverage into the inner region(IR) and outer region(OR) based on the distance from the macro base station(MBS). However, since it is impossible to properly measure the distance in the method with FFR, we propose a new interference aware FFR(IA-FFR) method to enhance the system performance. That is, the proposed IA-FFR method divides the MUEs and SBSs into the IR and OR groups based on the signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR) of macro user equipments(MUEs) and received signals strength of small-cell base stations(SBSs) from the MBS, respectively, and then dynamically assigns subchannels to MUEs and small-cell user equipments. As a result, the proposed IA-FFR method outperforms other methods in terms of the system capacity and outage probability.

발파충격 또는 응력재분배에 의해 발생하는 암반손상대(Excavation Damaged Zone, EDZ)는 암반의 여러 물성들을 변화시킴으로써 구조물의 거동과 안정성에 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구에서는 EDZ를 고려한 터널에 대한 2차원 연속체 해석 코드인 FLAC을 이용하여 역학적 안정성을 해석하고 안정성에 관련된 인자들을 대상으로 부분요인설계법(Fractional Factorial Design)을 이용한 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 모델링 결과 터널 주변의 거동과 안전율은 손상대 유 무에 따라 많은 차이가 있었다. 민감도 분석 결과 터널주변의 안전율에 많은 영향을 미치는 인자는 측압계수와 심도, 점착력, 물성 감소비, 터널의 폭, 내부 마찰각, 터널의 높이 순이었다. EDZ는 터널 주변의 역학적 안전성에 많은 영향을 미칠 수 있기 때문에 터널 설계 시 고려하는 것이 필요하다.

A nomogram of gas exchange ratio (R) in air breathing subjects ,was porposed which enables a simple and rapid determination of R value using the fractional concentrations of nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the expired or alveolar gas. The readable limit of R value seems less than 1/100 of R unit and the average difference between the values from the nomogram and the actually calculated values is less than 0.005 of R unit. The usefulness of this nomogram for rapid and frequent determinations of the oxygen uptake is also suggested.

Bifurcation of unstable symmetric flow patterns to stable asymmetric ones in laminar sudden-expansion flow has been numerically investigated. Computations were carried out for an expansion ratio of 3 and over a range of the flow Reynolds numbers by using numerical methods of second-order time accuracy and a fractional-step method that guarantees divergence-free flowfields at all times. The critical Reynolds number above which bifurcation of pitchfork type to asymmetric flow pattern takes place is lower in a flow with a higher expansion ratio, in agreement with the previously reported results. The bifurcation diagrams show that the bifurcation takes place at a Reynolds number, $Re_c = 86.3$, higher than the value that has been reported. The lower critical Reynolds number may be due to deficiencies in their computations which employed SIMPLE-type relaxation methods rather than the initial-value approach of the present study. Characteristics of the flow development during the transition to asymmetric stable flow have been investigated by using spectral analysis of the velocity signals obtained by the simulations.

To reduce the vibration in industrial settings, the viscous fluid dampers have been widely used. Since the damper shows a viscoelastic behavior, many methods to predict the behavior have been investigated. But the methods did not consider a change of damper size that is important factor for practical design engineer. In this study, to predict a change of damper ability with respect to a change of damper size, the dynamic experiment were conducted with fixed aspect ratio and gap. The damping coefficient at zero frequency was computed through theoretical and experiment approach in order to fit the experimental results using fractional derivative Maxwell model.

This study was prepared to develop the sustained release dosage form of phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride (PPA) by complexation with cation exchange resin(CER). The PPA-CER complex was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) thennogram, indicating a relative shift of an endometric peak of PPA to higher temperature. The loading efficiency was increased as the amount of PPA was increased as well as the time of fractional exchange was advanced as the temperatures were increased. Loading efficiency, fractional exchange, reaction rate constant and activation energy were highly dependent on the temperature and drug : resin ratio. The optimal ratio of PPA and resin was estimated to be 10: 10 for the sustained release.

The paper investigates the influence of the rheological parameters which characterize the creep time, the long-term values of the mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials and a form of the creep function around the initial state of a deformation of the materials of the hollow bi-layered cylinder on the dispersion of the flexural waves propagated in this cylinder. Constitutive relations for the cylinder's materials are given through the fractional exponential operators by Rabotnov. The dispersive attenuation case is considered and numerical results related to the dispersion curves are presented and discussed for the first and second modes under the first harmonic in the circumferential direction. According to these results, it is established that the viscosity of the materials of the constituents causes a decrease in the flexural wave propagation velocity in the bi-layered cylinder under consideration. At the same time, the character of the influence of the rheological parameters, as well as other problem parameters such as the thickness-radius ratio and the elastic modulus ratio of the layers' materials on the dispersion curves, are established.

OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 기반 셀룰러 시스템에서 셀 간 간섭은 셀 가장자리에 위치한 단말의 수신 성능을 악화시킴으로써 전체 시스템의 성능을 감소시킨다. 따라서 셀 간 간섭을 제거하는 것은 셀룰러 시스템의 성능 향상에 가장 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 이를 위해 4세대 통신망에는 부분 주파수 재사용(FFR : Fractional Frequency Reuse)이 도입되었다. FFR은 간섭 제어 기술 중의 하나로써, 하나의 셀을 내부 셀과 외부 셀로 분할하고 내부 셀의 경우 전체 시스템 대역폭을, 외부 셀의 경우 섹터에 따라 서로 다른 주파수 파티션을 할당한다. 이렇게 함으로써 외부 셀에 속한 단말은 인접한 셀로부터의 간섭을 무시할 수 있게 되고 이에 따라 셀 가장자리에 위치한 단말의 수신 성능이 대폭 개선된다. 하지만 FFR은 대역폭 측면에서 치명적인 부작용을 가진다. 외부 셀의 각 섹터에 서로 다른 주파수 파티션을 할당하기 위해서 하나의 섹터에는 전체 시스템 대역폭의 1/3만을 할당할 수 있게 된다. 이렇게 감소한 대역폭은 시스템 전송률을 직접적으로 감소시킨다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 분할대역을 일정 비율만큼 중첩해서 사용하는 새로운 FFR 방법을 제안하고 실제 셀룰러 시스템에 적합한 중첩 비율을 제시한다.
