High-strength concrete(HSC) is a new construction material with enormous potential. Structures using high-strength concrete are to be coming more and more popular. But high-strength reinforced concrete columns show brittle behavior. It, therefore, is necessary to improve the ductility of HSC members. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ductility and strength of high-strength columns with variable lateral confinement under concentric axial load. Five HSC columns with compressive strength 68㎫ are designed with variable lateral confinements such as carbon fiber sheet(CFS), glass fiber sheet(GFS), and metal lath. Test results indicate that specimen confined by CFS show 11% higher maximum strength, 2.74 times ductility than A specimen using hoop. On comparing with the specimen A and B confined metal lath instead of hoop, strength decrease of 3%, and ductility increase of 1.21 times were observed.

분산 전원의 계통 연계를 위한 그리드 코드에서 요구하는 LVRT 제어 시 과도 상태 계통 전류를 분석하고 최대값을 최소화하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 계통 사고 발생으로 전압이 급격히 변화하는 동안에 과도 전류의 크기가 상승하여 전력용 반도체 소자의 한계를 넘게 되면 시스템이 정지하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 LVRT 제어 시 과도상태 전류의 급변 원인과 최대값에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 분석한다. 분석의 신뢰성을 높이기 위해 GFS(Grid Fault Simulator)를 적용하여 전압사고를 모의하고 PSIM 시뮬레이션 프로그램을 통해 검증하였다.

VIA 는 클러스터 또는 시스템 영역 네트워크를 위한 표준화된 사용자수준 통신 아키텍쳐이고, GNBD 는 LINUX 클러스터에서 IP 네트워크 설비를 기반으로 GFS 공유 파일 시스템을 설치할 때 사용하는 네트워크 블록 디바이스이다. GNBD 는 TCP/IP 상의 소켓을 기반으로 구현되어 있기 때문에, VIA 를 사용하는 클러스터이더라도 VIA 하드웨어 상에서 TCP/IP 소켓을 통하여 GNBD 를 작동시킨다. VIA 와 같이 물리적 연결이 신뢰성이 높고 높은 수준의 기능을 제공하는 경우는 같은 클러스터 안에서 TCP/IP 프로토콜 스택을 사용할 필요가 없다. 그래서 우리는 VIA 를 이용하지만 TCP/IP를 사용하지 않는 GNBD/VIA를 구현하였고, 동일한 VIA 하드웨어를 사용하면서 TCP/IP 모듈을 이용하는 GNBD 보다 파일시스템의 읽기(쓰기) 성능이 약 20%(30%) 향상된다는 것을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 VIA상에서 동작하는 GNBD/VIA의 성능 측정값과 그 위에 설치된 파일시스템의 을 보여주고, 그 결과를 상세히 분석하여 GNBD/VIA 상에 설치된 파일 시스템이 발휘할 수 있는 성능의 한계를 제시한다. 제시하는 한계치는 GNBD/VIA 뿐만 아니라 TCP/IP 상의 소켓을 사용하는 GNBD에도 적용할 수 있다.

Purpose: Children with esophagitis express a variety of nonspecific symptoms and signs depending on their age, and diagnosis is limited because gastrointestinal endoscopy (GFS) and biopsy are difficult to perform. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of esophagitis in children with upper abdominal pain, to determine the necessity of esophageal biopsy, and to evaluate the associated risk factors. Methods: We reviewed 266 pediatric patients with upper abdominal pain who underwent history-taking, physical examination, and GFS with esophageal and gastric biopsies between January 2006 and December 2007. Esophagitis was confirmed on biopsy. We analyzed the risk factors for histologic esophagitis and the necessity of esophageal biopsy. Results: The prevalence of esophagitis was 19.9% (53/266 patients). The sensitivity and specificity of endoscopic diagnosis were 41.5% and 77%. Of 53 patients with histologic esophagitis, reflux esophagitis was seen in 50 patients, eosinophilic esophagitis was seen in 2 patients, and esophageal candidiasis was seen in 1 patient. Vomiting was a significant factor in patients under 8 yr of age (p<0.05). H. pylori infection was documented in 41.5% of patients with histologic esophagitis, compared with 58.5% of patients not infected with H. pylori (p<0.05). The possibility of histologic esophagitis was higher in patients with H. pylori infection (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.2544 to 4.8286) and in those who visited in the spring (OR 2.5, 95% CI 1.2544 to 4.8286). Conclusion: We believe esophageal tissue biopsy should be performed in pediatric patients with upper gastrointestinal symptoms who are undergoing GFS and stomach tissue biopsy, especially preschoolers and H. pylori-infected children in the spring.

Recently, large-scale directories have been developed for LINUX cluster file systems to store and retrieve huge amount of data. One of them, GFS directory, has attracted much attention because it is based on extendible hashing, one of dynamic hashing techniques, to support fast access to files. One distinctive feature of the GFS directory is the flat structure where all the leaf nodes are located at the same level of the tree. Hut one disadvantage of the mode structure is that the height of the mode tree has to be increased to make the tree flat after a byte is inserted to a full tree which cannot accommodate it. Thus, one byte addition makes the height of the whole mode tree grow, and each data block of the new tree needs one more link access than the old one. Another dynamic hashing technique which can be used for directories is linear hashing and a couple of researches have shown that it can get better performance at file access times than extendible hashing. [n this research, we have designed and implemented an extendible hashing directory and a linear hashing directory for large-scale LINUX cluster file systems and have compared performance between them. We have used the semi-flat structure which is known to have better access performance than the flat structure. According to the results of the performance evaluation, the linear hashing directory has shown slightly better performance at file inserts and accesses in most cases, whereas the extendible hashing directory is somewhat better at space utilization.

The objective of this study is to describe the short-range forecast system of the Korea Air Force (KAF) and to verificate its performace in 2009 summer. The KAF weather prediction model system, based on the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model (i.e., the KAF-WRF), is configured with a parent domain overs East Asia and two nested domains with the finest horizontal grid size of 2 km. Each domain covers the Korean peninsula and South Korea, respectively. The model is integrated for 84 hour 4 times a day with the initial and boundary conditions from National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS) data. A quantitative verification system is constructed for the East Asia and Korean peninsula domains. Verification variables for the East Asia domain are 500 hPa temperature, wind and geopotential height fields, and the skill score is calculated using the difference between the analysis data from the NCEP GFS model and the forecast data of the KAF-WRF model results. Accuracy of precipitation for the Korean penisula domain is examined using the contingency table that is made of the KAF-WRF model results and the KMA (Korea Meteorological Administraion) AWS (Automatic Weather Station) data. Using the verification system, the operational model and parallel model with updated version of the WRF model and improved physics process are quantitatively evaluated for the 2009 summer. Over the East Aisa region, the parallel experimental model shows the better performance than the operation model. Errors of the experimental model in 500 hPa geopotential height near the Tibetan plateau are smaller than errors in the operational model. Over the Korean peninsula, verification of precipitation prediction skills shows that the performance of the operational model is better than that of the experimental one in simulating light precipitation. However, performance of experimental one is generally better than that of operational one, in prediction.

Purpose: With the significance of stable adhesion of alveolar bone and peri-implant soft tissue on the surface of titanium for successful dental implantation procedure, the purpose of this study was to apply microgrooves on the titanium surface and investigate their effects on peri-implant cells and tissues. Methods: Three types of commercially pure titanium discs were prepared; machined-surface discs (A), sandblasted, large-grit, acid-etched (SLA)-treated discs (B), SLA and microgroove-formed discs (C). After surface topography of the discs was examined by confocal laser scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle and surface energy were measured. Human gingival fibroblasts (hGFs) and murine osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1) were seeded onto the titanium discs for immunofluorescence assay of adhesion proteins. Commercially pure titanium implants with microgrooves on the coronal microthreads design were inserted into the edentulous mandible of beagle dogs. After 2 weeks and 6 weeks of implant insertion, the animal subjects were euthanized to confirm peri-implant tissue healing pattern in histologic specimens. Results: Group C presented the lowest water contact angle ($62.89{\pm}5.66{\theta}$), highest surface energy ($45{\pm}1.2mN/m$), and highest surface roughness ($Ra=22.351{\pm}2.766{\mu}m$). The expression of adhesion molecules of hGFs and MC3T30E1 cells was prominent in group C. Titanium implants with microgrooves on the coronal portion showed firm adhesion to peri-implant soft tissue. Conclusions: Microgrooves on the titanium surface promoted the adhesion of gingival fibroblasts and osteoblastic cells, as well as favorable peri-implant soft tissue sealing.

This note provides technical guide on three issues associated with establishing and automatically running regional ocean forecasting systems: (1) a strategy for continuous production of hourly-interval three-day ocean forecast data, (2) the daily download of ocean and atmospheric forecasting data (i.e., HYCOM and NOAA/NCEP GFS data), which are provided by outside institutions and used as initial condition, surface forcing, and boundary data for regional ocean models, and (3) error notifications to numerical model managers through the Short Message Service (SMS). Guidance on dealing with these three issues is illustrated via solutions implemented by the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency, since in embarking on this project we found that this procedural information was not readily available elsewhere. This technical guide is based on our experiences and lessons learned during the process of establishing and operating regional ocean forecasting systems for the East Sea and the Yellow and East China Seas over the 5 year period of 2012-2016. The fundamental approach and techniques outlined in this guide are of use to anyone wanting to establish an automatic regional and coastal ocean forecasting system.

The TWINE is a new Generalized Feistel Structure (GFS) lightweight cryptosystem in the Internet of Things. It has 36 rounds and the key lengths support 80 bits and 128 bits, which are flexible to provide security for the RFID, smart cards and other highly-constrained devices. Due to the strong attacking ability, fast speed, simple implementation and other characteristics, the differential fault analysis has become an important method to evaluate the security of lightweight cryptosystems. On the basis of the 4-bit fault model and the differential analysis, we propose an effective differential fault attack on the TWINE cryptosystem. Mathematical analysis and simulating experiments show that the attack could recover its 80-bit and 128-bit secret keys by introducing 8 faulty ciphertexts and 18 faulty ciphertexts on average, respectively. The result in this study describes that the TWINE is vulnerable to differential fault analysis. It will be beneficial to the analysis of the same type of other iterated lightweight cryptosystems in the Internet of Things.

An assessment of typhoon intensity predictability of numerical models was conducted to develop the typhoon intensity forecast guidance comparing with the RSMC-Tokyo best track data. Root mean square error, box plot analysis and time series of wind speed comparison were performed to evaluate the each model error level. One of noticeable fact is that all models have a trend of error increase as typhoon becomes stronger and the Global Forecast System showed the best performance among the models. In the detailed analysis in two typhoon cases [Danas (1324) and Haiyan (1330)], GFS showed good performance in maximum wind speed and intensity trend in the best track, however it could not simulate well the rapid intensity increasing period. On the other hand, ECMWF and Hurricane-WRF overestimated the typhoon intensity but simulated track trend well.
