본 논문은 냉간성형 각형강관 T형 접합부의 최대내력과 변형제한치에 대한 연구이다. 전회의 실험적 연구로부터, T형 접합부는 주관폭에 대한 지관폭의 비(${\beta}$) 0.8이하의 범위에서 변형의 증가와 함께 내력이 계속적으로 증가하는 양상을 나타내었다. 따라서, 일정한 변형량(주관플랜지에서의 변위)에 대응하는 하중을 T형 접합부의 최대내력으로 정의할 수 있을 것이다. 폭비(${\beta}$)와 주관 두께에 대한 폭의 비(B/T)가 주관 플랜지 파괴모드에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 기존의 Kato에 의해 수행된 실험을 포함한 실험결과로부터 $16.7{\leq}B/T{\leq}41.6$ 이고 $0.27{\leq}{\beta}{\leq}0.8$ 인 범위의 T형 접합부에 대하여, 최대내력을 정의를 위한 변형제한치는 주관폭의 3% 변형량(3%B)으로 제안하였다. CIDECT의 설계식 및 기존의 제안내력식과 실험결과를 비교하였고, 최종적으로 항복선이론에 근거한 내력식을 제안하였다.

본 논문에서는 검출과 복호가 결합된 효율적인 비터비 알고리즘 (joint Viterbi detection and decoding (JVDD))의 저복잡도 하드웨어 설계 및 구현 결과를 제시한다. 길쌈부호화된 GMSK 신호가 BLE 5.0 표준으로 채택 되어있으므로 검출과 복호를 위해 두개의 비터비 프로세서가 필요하다. 그러나, 제안된 JVDD 알고리즘은 GMSK에 의해서 유발된 심볼간의 간섭정보(ISI : inter-symbol interference)가 반영된 가지 메트릭 (branch metric)을 사용하여 단지 하나의 비터비 만을 사용하여도 검출과 복호 수행이 가능하며, 성능 저하 없이 복잡도 감소가 가능하다. JVDD 알고리즘을 적용한 BLE 비터비 복호기의 하드웨어 구현을 위해 효율적인 구조 설계가 수행되었다. 제안된 구조는 1 클럭 사이클 동안 복호를 완료할 수 있기 때문에 저지연 및 저면적 구현이 가능하다. 제안된 비터비 복호기는 Verilog-HDL을 이용하여 RTL 설계되었고, GF 55nm 공정을 활용하여 논리합성 및 구현되었다. 합성결과 12K 게이트 수를 포함하였으며 메모리 유닛 및 초기 지연시간은 MSE (modified state exchange) 대비 33% 감소 가능함을 확인하였다.

Objective : The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical results of endoscopic radiofrequency ablation of medial branch in patients with chronic low back pain originating from facet joints. Methods : Between October 2010 and December 2013, 52 consecutive patients had suffering from chronic low back pain had undergone endoscopic radiofrequency denervation of medial branch of dorsal ramus. The clinical outcomes of these 52 patients were reviewed retrospectively. Preoperative and postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Korean version of Oswestry Disability Index (K-ODI), and patients' satisfaction with the procedure were assessed. Results : The pain scores on the VAS for back pain had improved significantly from a preoperative mean of 7.1 to a postoperative mean of 2 at the last follow-up (p<0.001). The clinical outcomes based on the K-ODI had also improved significantly from a preoperative mean of 26.5% to postoperative mean of 7.7% at the last follow-up (p<0.001). 80% of patients were satisfied with the procedure. There were no complications associated with the procedure. Conclusion : Our preliminary results demonstrate that endoscopic radiofrequency denervation of medial branch could be an effective alternative treatment modality for chronic back pain originating from facet joints that provides long-term pain relief.

Objective : The sacroiliac joint complex is often related with functionally incapacitating pain in old aged people. The purpose of this study is to delineate the investigation strategies and to determine the long-term effect of radiofrequency [RF] neurotomies for pain arising from sacroiliac Joint dysfunction[SIJD]. Methods : Sixteen patients were diagnosed as having chronic pain from SIJD by comparative controlled blocks on L5 dorsal rami, sacroiliac Joints and deep interosseous ligaments. After confirming the positive response [more than 50% of pain relief], sensory stimulation was applied to detect the 'pathological' branches. Subsequently, RF neurotomies were performed on the selected nerve branches. Surgical outcome was graded as successful, moderate improvement, and failure after a 6month follow-up period. Results : Stimulation intensity was 0.45V to elicit pain response in the L5 dorsal rami and lateral sacral branches. The number of RF-lesioned nerve branches was 6per patient. The average number of lesions for each branch was 1.3. Most commonly selected branches were L5 dorsal ramus [88%] and S2-upper division [88%]. Ten patients [63%] reported a successful outcome according to the outcome criteria after 6months of follow-up, and five patients [31%] reported complete relief [100%]. Five patients [31%] showed moderate improvements. One patient reported failure. Conclusion : RF neurotomy of lateral sacral branches is an excellent treatment modality for the pain due to SIJD, provided that comparative controlled block shows a positive response.

When a patient represents pain in foot, physician can easily overlook compression neuropathy of peripheral nerve as it is uncommon. Among nerve entrapment syndrome encountered in the foot, selective compression in lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve (DPN) is rare. We report a case of a patient with pain and dysesthesia in dorsolateral foot which turned out as lateral branch of deep peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome caused by talonavicular joint effusion. We would like to share diagnostic work up flow and conservative treatment courses. This case manifests the importance of the deep peroneal nerve and its branches in clinical setting of pain and ankle instability.

Utility boiler operators seeking to gain the greatest economic advantage from their units are faced with three challenges, namely the obligatory light-up fuel costs, the additional expense of supplementary fuel firing should they wish to use a cheaper fuel that may be beyond the original burner manufacturer’s stability and combustion performance assurances and the immediate environmental impact of both. The novel use of plasma arc technology can provide a solution to these challenges. This paper introduces the work being undertaken through a joint collaboration between the EU, Kazahkstan and Russia in order to develop a tried and tested engineering methodology and a mathematical based application and sensitivity analysis approach for the design and optimisation stage of these plasma devices that, as a consequence, their assist in their universal introduction.

S-N fatigue tests were conducted to investigate the fatigue strength of small diameter socket and butt welded joints made of carbon steels. Experimental parameters were pipe diameter, throat depth, shape of socket welds and welding procedure. Filler metals used in SMAW and GTAW procedure were E9016-G with diameter of 4.0 mm and ER70S-G with diameter of 2.4 mm. API 5L Gr.B pipes were adopted as a small diameter branch pipes. All socket fittings were machined from ASTM A105 carbon steel. Tensile strength was not affected by the welding procedure. Fatigue strength in socket weld joints increased with increasing pipe diameter, area of weld metal and weld leg length of pipe side.

Background: Shift work and/or sleep quality may affect health. We investigated whether shift work and sleep quality, separately and jointly, were associated with abnormal levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), and low-and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in 360 police officers (27.5% women). Methods: Triglycerides, TC, and high-density lipoprotein were analyzed on the Abbott Architect; low-density lipoprotein was calculated. Shift work was assessed using City of Buffalo payroll work history records. Sleep quality (good, ${\leq}5$; intermediate, 6-8; poor, ${\geq}9$) was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire. A shift work + sleep quality variable was created: day plus good sleep; day plus poor sleep; afternoon/night plus good; and poor sleep quality. Mean values of lipid biomarkers were compared across categories of the exposures using analysis of variance/analysis of covariance. Results: Shift work was not significantly associated with lipids. However, as sleep quality worsened, mean levels of triglycerides and TC gradually increased but only among female officers (age- and race-adjusted p = 0.013 and 0.030, respectively). Age significantly modified the association between sleep quality and TC. Among officers ${\geq}40$ years old, those reporting poor sleep quality had a significantly higher mean level of TC ($202.9{\pm}3.7mg/dL$) compared with those reporting good sleep quality ($190.6{\pm}4.0mg/dL$) (gender- and race-adjusted p = 0.010). Female officers who worked the day shift and also reported good sleep quality had the lowest mean level of TC compared with women in the other three categories (p = 0.014). Conclusion: Sleep quality and its combined influence with shift work may play a role in the alteration of some lipid measures.
