The present paper investigates the influence of the orientation of the ground-motion reference axes, the seismic incident angle and the seismic intensity level on the inelastic response of asymmetric reinforced concrete buildings. A single storey asymmetric building is analyzed by nonlinear dynamic analyses under twenty bi-directional ground motions. The analyses are performed for many angles of incidence and four seismic intensity levels. Moreover three different pairs of the horizontal accelerograms corresponding to the input seismic motion are considered: a) the recorded accelerograms, b) the corresponding uncorrelated accelerograms, and c) the completely correlated accelerograms. The nonlinear response is evaluated by the overall structural damage index. The results of this study demonstrate that the inelastic seismic response depends on the orientation of the ground-motion reference axes, since the three individual pairs of accelerograms corresponding to the same ground motion (recorded, uncorrelated and completely correlated) can cause different structural damage level for the same incident angle. Furthermore, the use of the recorded accelerograms as seismic input does not always lead to the critical case of study. It is also shown that there is not a particular seismic incident angle or range of angles that leads to the maximum values of damage index regardless of the seismic intensity level or the ground-motion reference axes.

정유 또는 석유화학플랜트에서 폭발 등과 중대사고가 발생할 때 심각한 인명 및 재산피해를 야기시켜 보험시장에 큰 영향을 끼쳐왔다. 일반적으로 정유, 석유화학공장 등 장치산업에서 이러한 사고 발생시 국립과학수사연구원, 사고원인 조사자, 손해보험사 손해사정사 등이 조사하여 손해 및 사고와 가장 인접한 근인 위주로 사고원인을 도출하고 있다. 반면 실제 중대사고로 이어지기까지 문제 및 결함으로 작용한 여러 중대사고 전조신호에 대한 근본원인분석을 실시하여 예방대책을 수립하는 것이 중요하나 그 동안이에 대한 것이 미흡하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 전 세계에서 발생된 중대사고 사례에 대하여 근본원인분석 방법과 스위스치즈모델 원리를 활용한 기여요소분석법 등을 통하여 도출하였던 미국 화학공정안전센터의 중대사고 전조신호 자체평가 도구의 전조신호 판단기준 항목을 우선적으로 고찰하였다. 여기에 실제 정유 및 석유화학플랜트 내 중대사고 전조신호가 해외재보험사 Loss control engineer 등 Auditor 들에게 어떠한 식으로 권고되어 왔는지 확인하고자 지난 17년간 Loss Control Engineer가 Risk Survey 이후 도출하였던 안전권고사항 약 614개를 분석하였다. 최종적으로 이를 중대사고 전조신호 평가지표로 개발이 용이하도록 정유 및 석유화학플랜트에서의 중대사고 전조신호 판단기준을 유형별로 그룹화한 후 상위 및 하위 항목으로 구분하였다. 또한, 정유 및 석유화학공장 관련 전문가(40명)에게 설문 실시 및 AHP기법을 적용하여 각 항목별 가중치(중요도)를 도출하여 최종 전조신호 판단기준과 항목별 가중치가 적용된 '정유 및 석유화학플랜트에서의 중대사고 전조신호 평가지표'를 개발하였다. 그리고 개발한 지표를 8개의 정유 및 석유화학플랜트에 적용하여 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 평가지표는 정유 및 석유화학공장 등 장치산업에서의 중대사고 예방을 위하여 추적관리 되어야 할 전조신호 항목 및 요소가 무엇인지 인식하고 취약수준을 평가하는데 도움이 될 수 있고, 관련 사업장 자체 관계자뿐만 아니라 외부 auditor들에게 유용하게 활용되리라 판단된다.

In this paper we will show theoretically that a refractive index grating exhibits a retro-self-focusing effect and an accompanying pinholing effect under the Gaussian intensity distribution of an incident optical field. Those effects result from an effective wave number change of the medium due to the intense optical field.

우수한 반사방지막을 얻기 위하여 코팅 층의 구조를 나노입자구조로 만들어 코팅 층에 입사하는 빛을 분산시키거나, 코팅 층의 매질을 다양하게 선택하여 굴절률을 제어하여 반사율을 낮추는 기술이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 코팅 층의 굴절률 분포를 변화시켜 우수한 반사방지막을 얻는 방법 중 기존논문에서 제시되었던 5차 함수의 굴절률 분포와 제안하는 구배형 굴절률 분포의 반사방지막 특성을 비교하였다. 분석에 사용된 반사방지막 구조는 각각 3, 6, 9층 구조로서 총 두께 180 nm 이고, 입사파의 파장 범위는 300 nm ~ 1100 nm 이다. 각 각 서로 다른 층수에서 반사율을 비교하기 위하여 단층인 경우의 전달매트릭스를 구하고 3, 6, 9층의 구조에서의 반사율을 구하였다. 그 결과 3층의 구조 일 때 제안하는 구배형 굴절률 분포가 약 600 nm ~ 1100 nm 파장 범위에서 5차 함수의 굴절률 분포보다 더 낮은 반사율을 보였다. 향후 이 결과는 가시광선(적색)과 근적외선 영역에 사용되는 광소자 및 광 필터에 응용 가능하리라 판단된다.

The electromagnetic wave scattering from active objects has only recently attracted attention.$^{(1).(3)}$ Theoretical studies have considered normal-incidence plane-wave interactions with active dielectric cylinders with the prediction of large enhancements in the scattered field for bound mode structures. According to the theory of the electromagnetic wave scattering from a dielectric cylinder, the eigenvector solutions are discrete and have both guided (non-radiative) and leaky (radiative) mode solutions. By using an anti-guiding (leaky) structure instead of a guided structure and scattering at oblique incident angles near critical angle, the scattering resonances predicted by theoretical studies were obtained for the first time. A fine-grained scan of the plane-wave incident angle a reveals the existence of discrete scattering resonances. The diameter and real part of the index of refraction determine the resonant conditions and the imaginary part of the refractive index has a threshold value to make mode up for its radiation loss. The cross coupling between transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes is clearly detected for both active and passive scattering as theoretically expected. (omitted)

Background: Skeletal muscle plays a major role in glucose metabolism. We investigated the association between thigh muscle mass, insulin resistance, and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk. In addition, we examined the role of body mass index (BMI) as a potential effect modifier in this association. Methods: This prospective study included 399 Japanese Americans without diabetes (mean age 51.6 years) who at baseline had an estimation of thigh muscle mass by computed tomography and at baseline and after 10 years of follow-up a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and determination of homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). We fit regression models to examine the association between thigh muscle area and incidence of T2DM and change in HOMA-IR, both measured over 10 years. Results: Thigh muscle area was inversely associated with future HOMA-IR after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, HOMA-IR, fasting plasma glucose, total abdominal fat area, and thigh subcutaneous fat area at baseline (P=0.033). The 10-year cumulative incidence of T2DM was 22.1%. A statistically significant interaction between thigh muscle area and BMI was observed, i.e., greater thigh muscle area was associated with lower risk of incident T2DM for subjects at lower levels of BMI, but this association diminished at higher BMI levels. Conclusion: Thigh muscle mass area was inversely associated with future insulin resistance. Greater thigh muscle area predicts a lower risk of incident T2DM for leaner Japanese Americans.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has regulated the definition and requirements of the exposure index (EI). In this study, we calculated the EI of several image receptors in digital radiography system of two different manufacturers according to the method as per IEC, and evaluated the relationship with incident air kerma. To calculate the EI, w e obtained the characteristics curve of each image receptor by increasing the incident air kerma at RQA 3, 5, 7 and 9, respectively. As a result, there was no significant difference in the EI values between different image receptors of the same manufacturer, but EI values of different manufacturer was different despite the same air kerma was incident. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of the digital radiography systems is important in order to use EI as a tool for measuring and managing the radiation dose.

This paper proposes a specific sensor-design strategy and the possibility of improving the sensing performance, which can be obtained by replacing part of the existing plasmonic sensor based on the Kretschmann configuration method with an effective refractive-index layer. By replacing the metal layer with an effective refractive-index layer composed of gold and the material to be sensed, an improvement in the detection performance, accompanied by an increase in the sensed incident angle, is observed, and the gold-composition ratio that demonstrates the best result is presented. Subsequently, an increase in the sensed incident angle generated in the previous step can be suppressed by randomly etching a portion of the prism adjacent to the metal layer in a sub-wavelength scale. Finally, this study analyzes the optimization of the metal-layer thickness in a given sensor structure. An effective refractive thin-film surface plasmon resonance sensor design that can achieve optimal sensing performance is then proposed.
