  • The Soil Conservation Service (SCS) developed a unique procedure for estimating direct runoff from storm rainfall. But, It is very difficult to estimate accurately flood hydrograph by SCS method, because the initial ion of Ia(0.2Sa) itself has lots of systematic errors and there is no investigation on Ia in the Korean watershed. The maximum storage capacity of Umax is calibrated in the DAWAST model and is related to the present ability of rainfall to be infiltrated into the unsaturated soil. Effective rainfall for design and real-time flood hydrograph can be estimate more reasonably by introducing new Ia relationship made from the rainfall-runoff data observed in the Korean watersheds.

  • In this paper a limit analysis based procedure for the rapid evaluation of the in-plane seismic capacity of masonry arch bridges is carried out. Attention has been paid to the effect of the backfill on the collapse load. A parametric investigation has been performed by varying the rise/span ratio and the results have been compared with those obtained by finite element modelling. The comparison highlights the conservative feature of the proposed model in terms of ultimate loads and a good agreement in terms of collapse mechanisms.

  • Epidural steroid injection have become one of the most frequently applied conservative option for the management of acute and chronic back pain. As the indications for epidural steroid injections increase so do the adverse responses associated with this procedure. This study reports the succession of 3 patients who developed galactorrhea and hyperprolactinemia after recieving an epidural steroid injection for lumbar radiculopathy and low back pain. Serum prolactin level was elevated in accordance with epidural injection of corticosteroid. We measured the serum prolactin level by immunoradiometric assay method and peak serum prolactin level at above 500, 144.2, 150.3 ng/ml respectively. Also we found the serum prolactin level decreased to normal values 3 wks after corticosteroid injection. Galactorrhra ceased in advance of decrease of serum prolactin level. That "Hyperprolactinemia and galactorrhea can occur following epidural steroid injection", requires a much larger prospective investigation.

  • The main objective of this work is to investigate the sloshing behavior in a baffled and unbaffled three dimensional annular-sectored water pool (i.e., tank) which is located at dome region of the primary containment. Initially two case studies were performed for validation. In these case studies, the theoretical and experimental results were compared with numerical results and good agreement was found. After the validation of present numerical procedure, an annular-sectored water pool has been taken for numerical investigation. One sector is taken for analysis from the eight sectored water pool. The free surface is captured by Volume of Fluid (VOF) technique and the fluid portion is solved by finite volume method while the structure portions are solved by finite element approach. Baffled and un-baffled cases were compared to show the reduction in wave height under excitation. The complex mechanical interaction between the fluid and pool wall deformation is simulated using a partitioned strong fluid-structure coupling.

  • The purpose of this investigation was to determine the intratester reliability of measurements obtained with 3 Dimensional Motion Analysis System(3DMAS) by tester on normal subject. Twenty subjects between the ages of 9 and 29(x=22) were evaluated with 3DMAS using a test-retest reliability procedure after a familiarization session. Computerized 3DMAS was done with 4 50 - Hz CCD cameras connected to the ELITE system(B. T. S., Italy) and kinetic data were collected from the AMTI force platform(AMTI., U. S. A). Data were analyzed by the Eliclinic software to obtain gait parameters, joint angles and joint internal moment and power. Test-retest revealed intraclass correlation coefficients from .80 to .99. A series of paired t-tests revealed no significant differences between test and retest values. Finally, it was concluded that tester with 3DMAS could obtain reliable measurements with 3DMAS for determining kinetic, kinematic and gait parameters in normal subjects.

  • The local field distribution around gold nanosphere-gold plane junction has been studied using the finitedifference time-domain (FDTD) electrodynamics calculation procedure. We find that both the in-plane and out-of-plane polarized excitation produce enhanced field strong enough to explain the observed SERS activities of the junctions. Comparison with a simple dipole-image dipole model shows that the enhanced field primarily originates from the multipole-image multipole interaction, which indicates that the detailed fine-structures of the nanoparticles also play a significant role in the SERS activities as well.

  • The voltammetic behavior of Vitamin B6 (VB6) was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in phosphate buffers using cyclic, linear sweep and differential pulse voltammetry. The oxidation process was shown to be irreversible over the entire pH range studied (4.0-10.0) and was adsorption controlled. The adsorption amount of VB6 on the glassy carbon electrode was examined by chronocoulometry and the value of n, product of transfer coefficient and number of electrons transferred in the rate determining step, was determined from Tafel plot. VB6 was determined by differential pulse voltammetry and the peak current was found linearly with its concentration in the range of 3 10-7-2 10-4 mol L-1. The detection limit was 1 10-7 mol L-1. The procedure was successfully applied for the assay of VB6 in tablets.

  • The purpose of the study is to establish the nurses engaged in blood donation business right cognition and supply base data to make out proper directed blood donation rule through investigation of actual condition and general issue related to directed blood donation. In this study I searched for related reference and computed the directed blood donors in seoul national university hospital blood bank. The directed blood donation in Korea have been increased for supplying fresh whole blood and plateletpheresis donor blood. The most blood donation in the blood bank belong to hospital are directed blood donation. The benefits of directed blood donation are enlargement blood donor, easy insurance a demand type of blood. But that program also give rise to recipient severe burden, additional cost and confused blood donation system. First of all for lessening the burden of the recipient and the directed blood donor, blood donation site, time, cost and procedure must be repared by proper rules. An alternative plans for the directed blood donation are autologous blood program and donor registration system.

  • In this investigation x-ray diffraction method was mainly studied for quantitative analysis of clinker mineral composition. And also optical microscopic observation and Bogue calculation method were applied to compare with the x-ray diffraction method. In the procedure of x-ray diffraction analysis graphite monochromator automatic divergence slit and spinner for sample holder were used for minimizing the error due to the operation of the equipment. Especially the separation of overlapped peaks were proceeded by micro-processor automatically. The results of x-ray diffraction method for synthesized clinker were consistent with the Bogue value and the results of optical microscopic observation. However the results of quantitative analysis of mineral composition or commercial clinker containing solid solution of minor component were different from the Bogue value. On the other hand they agreed reasonably well with results of the optical mic-roscopic observation.

  • According to the reports about the failure mode analysis of modules and systems, It is said that there are many early failure of system. To remove latent defects which causes early failures like that, It is necessary that screening test is performed. ESS is often used fur screening electronic equipments, and is proposed by the most powerful tool for removing latent defects of electronic equipments. [1][2] In this report, the procedure of the environmental stress screening which uses the temperature cycling stress is proposed. It is considered about environmental conditions of distributed control system(DCS) to be tested, design specifications of the system, recommended conditions of relative IEC-STD and applied conditions of similar company. ESS test was applied at the DCS to be installed in power plant. As the results of analyzing discovered problems. It was found that almost latent defects of electronic control systems was discovered early.
