This paper deals with the computational work to characterize the formation and pinching of a plasma in an X-pinch configuration. A resistive magnetohydrodynamic model of a single fluid and two temperature is adopted assuming a hollow conical structure in the (r,z) domain. The model includes the thermodynamic parameter of tungsten from the corrected Thomas-Fermi EOS(equation of state), determining the average ionization charge, pressure, and internal energy. The transport coefficients, resistivity and thermal conductivity, are obtained by the corrected Lee & More model and a simple radiation loss rate by recombination process is considered in the simulation. The simulation demonstrated the formation of a core-corona plasma and intense compression process near the central region which agrees with the experimental observation in the X-pinch device at Seoul National University. In addition, it confirmed the increase in radiation loss rate with the density and temperature of the core plasma.

The purpose of this study is to reduce harmful emission gases in the range of stable combustion without loss of a thermal efficiency. Therefore, effects of both exhaust gas recirculation(EGR) and synthetic gas addition on engine performance and emission were investigated in a gasoline engine. Synthetic gas(syngas), which is in general prepared from reforming gasoline, was utilized in order to promote stable combustion. The major components of syngas are H2, CO and $N_2$ gases. The percentage of syngas addition was changed from 0 to 30% in energy fraction and EGR rate was varied up to 30%. As a result, $COV_{IMEP}$ as a parameter of combustion stability was decreased and THC/$NO_X$ emissions were reduced with the increase of syngas addition. And $COV_{IMEP}$ was increased with the increase of EGR but $NO_X$ emission was greatly reduced. In addition, under the region where the EGR rate is around 20%, thermal efficiency was improved.

동영상 트래픽은 자체의 non-stationary한 특성들로 인해 일률적인 대역폭만으로는 전송 과정의 어려움이 있다. 일반적인 토큰 버킷 구조나 ATM은 한번의 자원 협상만으로 데이터를 전송하는 방법이기 때문에 이러한 문제를 극복하기 어려운 방법이다. 따라서 동영상 트래픽의 특성을 고려한 전송기법이 필요하고, 본 연구에서는 토큰 버킷 구조의 자원을 동적으로 재협상하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구에서 제시하는 재협상을 이용한 토큰 버킷구조는 데이터를 몇 개의 구간으로 나누어서 각 구간별 요구되는 토큰 유입량과 토큰 버킷 크기를 재협상하고 이를 자원으로 하여 동영상 데이터를 전송하는 구조이다. 이러한 재협상은 각 구간별 특성에 따라 효율적인 동영상 데이터 전송이 가능하도록 해준다.

Wall thinning of pipeline in power plants occurs mainly by flow acceleration corrosion (FAC), cavitation erosion (C/E), liquid droplet impingement erosion (LDIE). Wall thinning by FAC and C/E has been well investigated; however, LDIE in plant industries has rarely been studied due to the experimental difficulty of setting up a long injection of highly-pressurized air. In this study, we designed a long-term experimental system for LDIE and investigate the behavior of LDIE for three kinds of materials (A106B, SS400, A6061). The main control parameter was the air-water ratio (${\alpha}$), which was defined as the volumetric ratio of water to air (0.79, 1.00, 1.72). In order to clearly understand LDIE, the spraying velocity (${\nu}$) of liquid droplets was controled larger then 160 m/s and the experiments were performed for 15 days. Therefore, this research focuses relation between erosion rate and air-water ratio on the various pipe-flow materials. NPP(nuclear power plant)'s LDIE prediction theory and management technique were drawn from the obtained data.

This study analyzed the relationship between occupational accidents in the construction industry and business cycle factors. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to achieve the research purpose; additionally, time-varying parameter estimations were performed to interpret the results. The results obtained for the construction industry revealed a statistically significant relationship between occupational accidents and wage increase rate, unemployment, construction starts, and other factors. The wage increase rate plays a role in reducing occupational accidents because efforts are made to prevent accidents owing to the increase in income loss due to accidents and the demand for increased safety levels. The number of construction starts affects occupational accidents with a time lag of 1 to 2 or 4 months; therefore, it is likely to be used as a leading indicator for estimating fatal accidents in the construction industry. This study highlighted the importance of monitoring socioeconomic changes that could affect the working conditions of workers and workplaces, and production activities in the workplace for the effective prevention of occupational accidents. This study also reveals the necessity of developing a method to operate prevention projects flexibly and the seasonality of industrial characteristics, particularly those of the construction industry where the highest number of fatal occupational injuries occur.

비디오 스트리밍 수신기의 재생 버퍼에 있는 패킷량은 네트워크 상태에 따라 변화되며 지연 및 지터의 영향으로 인해 포화 및 고갈 현상이 일어날 수 있다. 특히, 유입되는 비디오 트래픽의 양이 재생 버퍼의 최대 양을 넘으면 버퍼 오버플로우(buffer overflow)문제가 발생된다. 버퍼 오버플로우는 화질의 열화를 발생시키고 스킵(skip) 현상으로 인해 재생의 불연속성을 발생시킨다. 또한 네트워크 혼잡으로 인하여 패킷의 유입이 늦어지면 버퍼 언더플로우(buffer underflow) 문제에 의한 버퍼링에 의해 영상의 멈춤 현상이 일어날 수 있다. 상기 문제들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 토큰버킷(Token Bucket)의 주요 파라미터인 토큰 발생률 파라메타와 버킷의 최대 용량 파라미터를 각각의 비디오 패킷들의 패턴에 따라서 자동적으로 설정하는 토큰버킷 기법을 장착한 비디오 스트리밍 수신기를 제안한다. NS-2(Network Simulator-2)와 JSVM(Joint Scalable Video Model)을 이용하는 시뮬레이션 결과는 제안하는 토큰버킷 파라메타 자동설정 기법이 기존의 수동설정 기법보다 3개의 시험 비디오 시퀀스들에 대해 오버플로우/언더플로우 횟수와 패킷 손실 비율 및 PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio)측면에서 우수한 성능을 제공함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

The object of this study was to evaluate the durations from onset of neurological sign until surgery and regaining of the deep pain perception (DPP) after decompression as prognostic indicators for the outcome of decompression surgery in dogs with thoracolumbar intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). The compression lesions in the thoracolumbar vertebrae were localized by plain radiograph, computed tomography and neurological examination in 28 dogs with hindlimb paralysis. The follow up was carried out for 6 months after laminectomy. During the follow up, regaining DPP and walking ability were evaluated. Improvement to normal or paretic gait after surgery was judged as success of the surgical treatment.The success rate of surgical treatment was 70 % (7 out of 10 dogs) when surgical intervention was carried out within 24 hours but 38.9 % (7 out of 18) over 24 hours (P<0.05). The success rate of surgical treatment was 87.5 % (14 out of 16 dogs) when DDP was regained within 5 weeks after surgery but there was 0 % (0 out of 12 dogs) when DDP was not regained within 5 weeks after surgery (P<0.05). Other parameters such as compression rate in CT scan and laminectomy methods did not related with the success of the surgery. These results suggested that the time of surgery after onset and duration of regaining of DPP after decompression were useful parameter to predict the success of surgical treatment for thoracolumbar disc herniation in dogs.

The resilience of a city confronted with a terrorist bomb attack is the background of the paper. The resilience strongly depends on vital infrastructure and the physical protection of people. The protection buildings provide in case of an external explosion is one of the important elements in safety assessment. Besides the aspect of protection, buildings facilitate and enable many functions, e.g., offices, data storage, -handling and -transfer, energy supply, banks, shopping malls etc. When a building is damaged, the loss of functions is directly related to the location, amount of damage and the damage level. At TNO Defence, Security and Safety methods are developed to quantify the resilience of city infrastructure systems (Weerheijm et al. 2007b). In this framework, the dynamic response, damage levels and residual bearing capacity of multi-storey RC buildings is studied. The current paper addresses the aspects of dynamic response and progressive collapse, as well as the proposed method to relate the structural damage to a volume-damage parameter, which can be linked to the loss of functionality. After a general introduction to the research programme and progressive collapse, the study of the dynamic response and damage due to blast loading for a single RC element is described. Shock tube experiments on plates are used as a reference to study the possibilities of engineering methods and an explicit finite element code to quantify the response and residual bearing capacity. Next the dynamic response and progressive collapse of a multi storey RC building is studied numerically, using a number of models. Conclusions are drawn on the ability to predict initial blast damage and progressive collapse. Finally the link between the structural damage of a building and its loss of functionality is described, which is essential input for the envisaged method to quantify the resilience of city infrastructure.

원자흡수용 gas-jet assisted RF 글로우 방전시스템을 제작하고 시료손실량과 원자흡광도에 미치는 실험변수들에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 시료손실량과 흡광도는 방전전력, 압력 및 가스흐름에 큰 영향을 받았다. 원자흡광도와 시료손실량을 가스흐름이 600ml/min로 증가할 때 까지 계속 증가하였으며, 방전 압력은 3mbar에서 최대 흡광도를 나타내었다. 방전전력이 증가할수록 시료손실량과 흡광도는 증가하였으나 시스템의 안정도에 영향을 미치는 관계로 적당한 값의 선택이 필요하였다. 스테인리스 스틸 시료 중의 Ni과 황동시료 중의 Cr의 검량선을 작성한 결과 양호한 직선성이 얻어졌다.

The aim of this study was 1) to confirm the practical efficiency of a routine milk P4 monitoring system for postpartum reproductive management of a dairy herd, and 2) to evaluate the relationship between the blood metabolic profiles, milk quality and body weight of individual cows in the farm records, which may reflect the postpartum nutritional condition, and the time of postpartum resumption of ovarian activity of dairy cows. A total of 116 Holstein cows was used in the present study. First, during the period of Experiment 1, postpartum reproductive management based on weekly measured milk P4 concentration from individual cows was conducted. Compared with the reproductive records of the past two years without P4 monitoring, although the day from calving to first AI did not change, both the number of AI until pregnant (with P4; 1.9 times vs. without P4; 2.9 times) and the days open (with P4; 95.1 days vs. without P4; 135.8 days and 133.8 days) were significantly decreased. In Experiment 2, the measurement of blood constituents such as albumin, blood urea nitrogen, packed cell volume, ammonia, glucose, total cholesterol, non-esterified, AST and $\gamma$-GTP was performed on the blood samples taken once approximately 14 days postpartum, to monitor both health and nutritional conditions. The milk constituent parameters, such as milk protein (MP), milk fat (MF), SNF and lactose, collected from the monthly progeny test of individual cows, were used to monitor the postpartum nutritional status. Furthermore, the data obtained from the routine measurements of body weight were used to calculate the rate of peripartum body weight loss. The resumption day of the postpartum estrous cycle was assumed from the milk P4 profiles of individual cows. There was no clear relationship between each parameter from blood examination and those from resumption time. However, the cows had low values of MP, and SNF, which significantly affected the resumption of the postpartum estrous cycle. Similarly, a higher rate of body weight loss indicated a significant delay (more than 1 month) in the resumption of the postpartum estrous cycle, compared with the groups that had a medium or lower rate of body weight loss. The results of the present study demonstrated that the implementation of routine milk P4 monitoring-based postpartum reproductive management, together with milk quality parameters and routine BW data available in field conditions may be utilized as a practical approach for increasing the postpartum reproductive efficiency of a high yielding dairy herd.
