In the present study, three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed to investigate the effects of internal wall thinning defect on the failure pressure of elbow in the piping system and to develop the failure pressure evaluation model. From the results of finite element analysis, the failure pressure was derived by employing local stress criteria, and the effects of thinning location, bend radius, and defect geometry on the failure pressure of internally wall thinned elbow were investigated. Also, based on these investigations and previous model developed to estimate the failure pressure of elbow with an external pitting defect, the failure pressure evaluation model to be applicable to the elbow containing an internal thinning defect was proposed and compared with the results of finite element analysis. The failure pressure calculated by the model agreed well with the results of finite element analysis.

This study is conducted to clarify the effect of internal pressure on the deformation and collapse behaviors of wall thinned elbow under in-plane bending moment. Thus the nonlinear three-dmensional finite element analyses were performed to obtain the moment-rotation curve of elbow contatining various wall thinning defects located at intrados and extrados under in-plane bending (closing and opening modes) with internal pressure of $0{\sim}15MPa.$ From the results of analysis, the effect of internal of collapse moment of elbow on the global deformation behavior of wall thinned elbow was discussed, and the dependence of collapse moment of elbow on the magnitude of internal pressure was investigated under different loading mode, defect location, and defect shape.

Objectives: Pressure injury is a common symptom of end-stage cancer, which impact quality of life. This case study reports on use of traditional Korean medicine in an end-stage cancer patient with pressure injury after debridement and local flap. Methods: A pressure injury with debridement and a local flap was treated using herbal medicine, a carbon arc, acupuncture, dressing, and cooperation in plastic surgery. Pressure injury was followed up with photographs. Results: On the 22^nd day of treatment (26 days after the debridement and local flap), redness, swelling, and the condition of pressure injury were all improved. Moreover, the condition of the pressure injury was good without dressing. Conclusions: These results show that traditional Korean medicine may have a positive effect on a pressure injury and improve the quality of life of cancer patients. However, further study is needed to confirm these findings.

본 연구에서는 과채류의 냉동냉장시 내부압력에 따른 조직파괴를 방지하기 위한 기초연구로 동결 방법에 따른 내부압력 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 과채류의 동결에 의한 중량감소율은 침지식 동결방식에서 0.44∼l.38% 수준으로 가장 적게 나타났으며, 동결방식에 따른 중량감소율 차이는 수박에서 가장 심하여 수분함량에 클수록 동결속도에 따른 효과가 비교적 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동결속도에 따른 내부압력은 배, 사과 및 메론에 있어 침지식 방법에 의한 동결시 체적팽창 및 수축에 따른 내부압력 차가 가장 적게 나타났으며, 송풍식 동결에서 가장 크게 나타나 동결속도가 빠를수록 내압의 크기는 적다는 것을 알 수 있었으나 딸기 및 수박의 경우는 오히려 침지식에서 내압이 가장 크게 나타났다. 균온 처리하지 않은 동결에 있어 과일의 내부압력 변화는 약 2 psig 수준인 반면에 균온 처리한 수박의 내부압력 변화는 균온처리하지 않은 수박의 내부압력 변화 경향과 유사하지만 일정한 수준의 내압을 발생시킴으로써 내부압력의 크기도 약 1.3 psig 수준으로 상당히 적게 나타났다. 또한, 해동시에 있어서도 균온처리한 시료의 내부압력 크기가 균온처리하지 않은 내부압력 크기보다 상대적으로 적게 나타났다. 균온처리 동결시, 다단계 처리보다는 3∼4회 수준의 일정한 균온 처리가 내부압력의 증감 폭을 줄일 수 있었다.

Objective: This study was undertaken to examine the effect of Cortex Phellodendri on prostatic urethral pressure and mean arterial blood pressure of rabbits. Methods: To measure prostatic urethral pressure and mean arterial blood pressure, a Mikro-Tip catheter transducer was inserted and positioned in the prostatic urethra and left carotid artery. After a stabilizing period, phenylephrine ($1{\mu}/kg$) was intravenously administered two or three times to increase the urethral pressure and mean arterial blood pressure. Cortex Phellodendri (2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg doses of Cortex Phellodendri extracted from 80% Ethanol) was administered intravenously, followed by phenylephrine, with no time interval between the doses. The urethral pressure and mean arterial blood pressure were then measured to determine whether they had stabilized. Results and Conclusion: Cortex Phellodendri appeared to inhibit phenylephrine-induced increases in prostatic urethral pressure and mean arterial blood pressure.

Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to report the effect of oriental medicine on pressure ulcers. Methods: We treated a patient with a pressure ulcer with acupuncture, Jaungo, and Gamisipjeon-tang. We started with herbal medicine only, and then added the acupuncture treatment after one month. We treated the sore for a total of 4 months. We measured the size and depth of the ulcer and graded it with a National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) score once every two weeks. Results & Conclusions: Even though the wound was not cured completely, the total size of the pressure ulcer was reduced and the NPUAP stage was improved from 4 to 3. Therefore, Korean medicine could be an effective treatment for improving pressure ulcers.

Internal ring beams are primary components of new ring-stiffened cooling towers. In this study, numerical simulation of the internal flow field of a cooling tower with three ring beams under wind-thermal coupling effect is performed. The studied cooling tower is a 220-m super-large hyperbolic indirect natural draft cooling tower that is under construction in China and will be the World's highest cooling tower, the influence of peripheral radiators in operating cooling tower is also considered. Based on the simulation, the three-dimensional effect and distribution pattern of the wind loads on inner surface of the cooling tower is summarized, the average wind pressure distributions on the inner surface before and after the addition of the ring beams are analyzed, and the influence pattern of ring beams on the internal pressure coefficient value is derived. The action mechanisms behind the air flows inside the tower are compared. In addition, the effects of internal ring beams on temperature field characteristics, turbulence kinetic energy distribution, and wind resistance are analyzed. Finally, the internal pressure coefficients are suggested for ring-stiffened cooling towers under wind-thermal coupling effect. The study shows that the influence of internal stiffening ring beams on the internal pressure and flow of cooling towers should not be ignored, and the wind-thermal coupling effect should also be considered in the numerical simulation of cooling tower flow fields. The primary conclusions presented in this paper offer references for determining the internal suction of such ring-stiffened cooling towers.

A field study of wind-induced internal pressures in a flexible and porous industrial warehouse with a single dominant opening, of various sizes for a range of moderate wind speeds and directions, is reported in this paper. Comparatively weak resonance of internal pressure for oblique windward opening situations, and hardly discernible at other wind directions, is attributed to the inherent leakage and flexibility in the envelope of the building in addition to the moderate wind speeds encountered during the tests. The measured internal pressures agree well with the theoretical predictions obtained by numerically simulating the analytical model of internal pressure for a porous and flexible building with a dominant opening. Ratios of the RMS and peak internal to opening external pressures obtained in the study are presented in a non-dimensional format along with other published full scale measurements and compared with the non-dimensional design equation proposed in recent literature.

Wind-induced fluctuating internal pressures in a building with a dominant opening can be described by a second-order non-linear differential equation. However, the accuracy and efficiency of the governing equation in predicting internal pressure fluctuations depend upon two ill-defined parameters: inertial coefficient $C_I$ and loss coefficient $C_L$, since $C_I$ determines the un-damped oscillation frequency of an air slug at the opening, while $C_L$ controls the decay ratio of the fluctuating internal pressure. This study particularly focused on the value of loss coefficient and its influence factors including: opening configuration and location, internal volumes, as well as wind speed and approaching flow turbulence. A simplified formula was presented to predict loss coefficient, therefore an approximate relationship between the standard deviation of internal and external pressures can be estimated using Vickery's approach. The study shows that the loss coefficient governs the peak response of the internal pressure spectrum which, in turn, will directly influence the standard deviation of the fluctuating internal pressure. The approaching flow characteristic and opening location have a remarkable effect on the parameter $C_L$.
