This paper presents an experimental study on the optimal settings for the selected DC fault relay (50F) to improve the operating performance for the high-speed circuit breaker on DC feeding system which ensure safety within rolling stock maintenance depot. In this study, current supplied to overhead contact wire was calculated on 1 ms interval to analyze the correction values of DC fault selective relay for the operation of current supply cutout. Particularly, standards for the accurate detection of accidents between an electric railway vehicle and the electric power facilities are shown by investigating the optimal correction values for detection of fault current, and the results indicated that it takes about 213 ms for the DC fault selective relay(50F) to fully open. In the future, the correction values of DC fault selective relay suggested in this paper will be used as the reference values of protective relay for the safe operation of DC electric railroad system such as urban railway.

DNA damage response has a central role in the maintenance of genomic integrity while mutations in related genes may result in a range of disorders including neoplasic formations. The uvsZl characterized in this report is a navel uvs mutation in Aspergillus nidulans, resulting in a nucleotide excision repair (NER) phenotype: UV-sensitivity before DNA synthesis (quiescent cells), high UV-induced mutation frequency and probable absence of involvement with mitotic and meiotic recombinations. The mutation is recessive and nan-allelic to the previously characterized uvsA101 mutation, also located on the paba-y interval on chromosome I. uvsZl skewed wild-type sensitivity to MMS, which suggests non-involvement of this mutation with BER. Epitasis tests showed that the uvsZ gene product is probably involved in the same repair pathways as UVSB or UVSH proteins. Although mutations in these proteins result in an NER phenotype, UVSB is related with cell cycle control and UVSH is associated with the post-replicational repair pathway. The epistatic interaction among uvsZl and uvsB413 and uvsH77 mutations indicates that different repair systems may be related with the common steps of DNA damage response in Aspergillus nidulans.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to confirm health behaviors that affect periodontal health status. Based on these results, we also intended to provide information for the prevention of gingivitis prior to periodontitis and establish strategies for maintaining healthy periodontal tissues. Methods: Data for this descriptive study were extracted from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2013-2015. A total of 2,710 adults, aged 19-39 years were included in this study. Complex logistic regression analyses were performed to confirm relationships between health behaviors and periodontal health, after adjusting for socio-demographics, oral and systemic health status. Results: Dental clinic visits (odd ratio [OR] = 1.761, 95% confidence interval [CI]; 1.391-2.229), use of floss (OR = 1.504, 95% CI; 1.213-1.865), and non-smoking (OR = 1.269, 95% CI; 1.040-1.549) were found to support periodontal health. Conclusions: Dental visits for continued professional oral health care, self-oral care including interdental flossing, and a non-smoking habit, are necessary for periodontal health maintenance. Additionally, the results suggest that physical activities such as regular walking can help. These methods should be considered as the primary preventative care strategies for minimizing the occurrence of gingival inflammation.

The purpose of this study is to develop a packing-free wet scrubber to prolong the maintenance interval compared with the conventional packed bed wet scrubbers with which frequent operation stops are unavoidable to clean the packing materials. The main- and interaction-effects were quantitatively analyzed by regression analysis for the measured ammonia scrubbing data from the experiments prepared by experimental design. The scrubbing efficiency of the newly developed wet scrubber was found to be over 95% under the condition of flue gas flow rate of 90CMM and liquid-to-gas ratio $2l/m^3$ for all considered trials of experimental design. The interaction effect between the inlet duct spray and the filter was found to be important, which controls the droplet growth due to the droplet collisions between the duct- and scrubbing tower-spray. The presented methodology to analyze the impacts of operational and design factors on the scrubber efficiency showed potential for applications to optimize the future flue gas abatement process in semiconductor plants.

As the number of aging bridges increases, more studies are being conducted on developing effective and reliable methods for the assessment and maintenance of bridges. With the advancement in new sensing systems and data learning techniques through AI technology, there is growing interests in how to evaluate bridges using these advanced techniques. This paper presents a CNN(Convolution Neural Network) deep learning based technique for evaluating the damage existence and for estimating the damage location in PSC bridges using static strain data. Simulation studies were conducted to investigate the proposed method with error analysis. Damage was simulated as the reduction in the stiffness of a finite element. A data learning model was constructed by applying the CNN technique as a type of deep learning. The damage status and its location were estimated using data set built through simulation. It was assumed that the strain gauges were installed in a regular interval under the PSC bridge girders. In order to increase the accuracy in evaluating damage, the squared error between the intact and measured strains are computed and applied for training the data model. Considering the damage occurring near the supports, the results of error analysis were compared according to whether strain data near the supports were included.

Advent of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) has provided potentials to a variety of construction applications. It is well appreciated that WSNs have advantages over traditional wired system, such as ease of installation and maintenance with increased cost savings and efficiencies. However, the obstruction of wireless signal from physical objects in the heterogeneous construction environment often brings challenges to WSN measurement system. This paper analyzed the obstruction characteristic of construction environment where construction materials, equipment, and built structures obstruct the wireless signal yielding negative effect of measurement system. By adopting evaluation criteria, such as packet reception rate, field experiments have been implemented to quantitatively identify the interference of wireless signal from penetration, reflection, and network traffic under the construction environment. The results show that reliable performance of wireless sensor in construction environment depends on the optimal separation distance between a receiver and a transmitter, obstruction types, obstruction thickness, and transmission interval. In addition, the methodology and experimental results of this paper could be used in the practical design of network topology when hundreds of sensor nodes form a mesh network in the large scale construction applications.

후쿠시마 원전 사고 이후 수질 내 방사성 오염에 대한 국민들의 관심이 크게 높아졌다. 이에 따라 해외에서는 인체에 영향을 줄 수 있는 먹는 물 속 방사성물질 분석과 관리에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되었다. 그리고 국내에서도 환경부령 제553호로 "먹는 물 수질기준 및 검사 등에 관한 규칙" 제 2조 수질기준을 규정하여 먹는 물 속 방사성농도의 감시를 하고 있으며 최근에는 염지하수 뿐 아니라 공공수역까지 범위를 확대하여 효율적인 관리를 하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 시행되고 있는 먹는 물 관리 시스템이 좀 더 나은 관리 및 운영이 될 수 있도록 미국 EPA(환경보호청) 사례를 분석해 보고자 하였다. 그 결과 미국 EPA(환경보호청)에서는 조사핵종을 선정할 시에 자국의 지질화학적인 조사와 원자력 발전소 보유현황 그리고 인공방사성 핵종의 사용유무 등을 조사하고 추가적으로 인간이 연간 먹는 물로 인하여 피폭 받을 수 있는 최대오염농도(0.1 mSv/y)를 고려함으로써 ${\alpha}$ 방출체, ${\beta}/{\gamma}$ 방출체, 라돈 및 우라늄으로 구분지어 핵종을 선정한 후 관리하고 있다. 조사주기 면에서는 미국 EPA(환경보호청)의 MCL(Maximum Contaminant Level - 최대오염농도)과 RDL(Required Detection Level - 검출하한치) 이라는 개념을 정립함으로써 그 이상의 농도가 검출되지 않도록 유지 및 관리를 하고 있다. 여기서 최대오염농도는 권고된 수치 이상의 농도가 측정 될 시에 특별한 관리조치와 해결방안이 제시되어야 하는 반면 검출하한치는 이 수치 이하로 측정된 방사성 농도는 인체에 영향이 없거나 거의 미미하므로 검출되었다 할지라도 특별한 조치가 필요 없다는 것이다. 예를 들어 최대오염농도 이상의 농도가 검출 될 시에는 기존에 조사해오던 주기보다 더 자주 측정하고 검출하한치 이하의 농도로 측정될 시에는 전에 해오던 주기대로 측정 및 관리를 하는 것이다. 이러한 각 핵종에 대하여 각각의 기준치를 정하고 미국 EPA(환경보호청)에서는 각 주(state)에 권한을 일임하여 자국의 주요 하천을 나누어 로드맵을 만들어 관리를 하고 있다. 그리고 그렇게 분류된 지역은 인력 및 예산에 맞게 HPGe, 형광검출기(NaI) 및 TLD 등의 검출기 등을 사용하여 효율적으로 측정값을 얻어 관리하고 있다.

본 연구에서 울산 현대중공업 및 사천 유니슨에 설치사용 중인 공업용로의 연소문제 및 시스템을 분석하고 열효율 개선방안을 제시하여 연료절감 및 생산성 향상에 도움이 되고자 한다. 단조산업에 사용 중인 공업용로는 원소재의 가열 및 재료의 특성향상을 위한 설비로 운전조건 및 연소시스템에 따라 연료의 사용량 및 재료의 특성에 지대한 영향을 줄 수 있다. 따라서 현대중공업에 설치운전 중인 100톤 가열로 및 열처리로의 연소시스템의 특성을 분석하였다. 통상적으로 각 가열장치에 설치된 버너(Burner)는 용량에 맞는 공연비를 가지며 버너가 작동할 수 있는 Turndown ratio를 가지고 있다. 이는 각각의 공업용로 특성을 정하는 것으로서 가열성능 및 온도정밀도에 지대한 영향을 미친다. 용량이 큰 버너를 설치한 열처리로는 가열성능은 향상시킬 수 있어도 유지구간에서의 온도정밀도를 얻기 힘들다. 이에 버너의 성능을 최대한 발휘할 수 있도록 연소시스템을 개선하여 각 가열구간에 맞는 연소특성을 적용 분석한 현대중공업의 가열로 및 열처리로를 예시로 연료의 절감 및 온도정밀도를 향상시키도록 본 연구에서 방안을 제시하였다.

본 연구는 터널의 단면변화구간에서 발생한 손상 미케니즘에 대하여 이루어졌다. 이를 위해 단면변화 구간을 대상으로 다양한 현장조사 및 시험을 실시하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 2차원 및 3차원 수치해석을 수행하였다. 현장조사 및 시험 결과, 슬래브 손상에 대한 직접적인 원인을 찾을 수 없었으며, 2차원 수치해석을 수행한 결과 기준 안전율(1.0)을 만족하는 것으로 분석되었다. 추가로 수행한 3차원 수치해석 결과, 기둥 간격의 변화에 따라 슬래브 휨응력 변화를 전달시키지 못해 손상이 발생한 것으로 분석되었다. 보강을 위해 터널내 기둥을 추가하는 방안을 적용하였으며 그 결과, 상부 슬래브 비틀림 형상이 완화되어 보강 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 단면 변화 구간의 경우 2차원 뿐만 아니라, 3차원으로 영향범위를 고려하여 설계에 반영한다면, 합리적이고 안정적으로 건설 및 유지관리가 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 추후에는 개착터널내 단면변화 구간에서 구조물에 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 보강방안에 대해 연구를 계속하고자 한다.
