  • It has been recognized that the proper matching of ventilation and perfusion within the lung is essential for the efficient exchange of gases following open heart surgery. Physiologic shunt reflects the amount of blood going to lung units with inadequate ventilation and these are also areas of the lung with adequate ventilation but inadequate blood flow. This can be quantified by measuring physiological dead space. From January to August 1985, The physiologic dead space and shunt during postoperative course had been taken in 30 patients of open heart surgery in Soonchunhyang University Hospital. Twenty cases had congenital heart disease and acquired valvular heart disease were noticed in 10 cases. The physiological dead space and shunt during postoperative periods were calculated and we made 5 items of conclusion: 1. There is high probability of ventilation-perfusion mismatch in the acquired heart disease group compared to the congenital group. 2. Duration of the CPB can exert significant influences in the physiological dead space but less in the shunt fraction. 3. There is positive relationship between Qs/Qt and Vd/Vt in the group B [CPB>90 min.] but less reliable in correlation. 4. Perfusion impairment is more significant in the diminished pulmonic blood flow group compared to the increased pulmonic blood flow [Qp/Qs>2.0] group. 5. There is no significant ventilation-perfusion mismatch within the lung during all postoperative courses.

  • This research work presents 3-D behavior of adjacent structures due to tunnelling induced ground movements by means of field measuring data and nonlinear FEM tunnel analysis. The results of the analytical methods from Mohr-Coulomb model are compared with the site measurement data obtained during the twin tunnel construction. It was found that the location and stiffness of the structure influence greatly the shape and pattern of settlement trough. The settlement trough for Greenfield condition was different from the trough for existing adjacent structures. Therefore the load and stiffness of adjacent structures should be taken into account for the stability analysis of the structures.

  • This paper presents experimental and computational investigations of synthetic jets with a circular exit for improving flow control performance. First, the flow feature and vortex structure of a multiple serial circular exit were numerically analyzed from the view point of flow control effect under a cross flow condition. In order to improve separation control performance, experimental and numerical studies were conducted according to several key parameters, such as hole diameter, hole gap, the number of hole, jet array, and phase difference. Experiments were carried out in a quiescent condition and a forced separated flow condition using piezoelectrically driven synthetic jets. Jet characteristics were compared by measuring velocity profiles and pressure distributions. The interaction of synthetic jets with a freestream was examined by analyzing vortical structure characteristics. For separation control performance, separated flow over an airfoil at high angles of attack was employed and the flow control performance of the proposed synthetic jet was verified by measuring aerodynamic coefficient. The circular exit with a suitable hole parameter provides stable and persistent jet vortices that do beneficially affect separation control. This demonstrates the flow control performance of circular exit array could be remarkably improved by applying a set of suitable hole parameters.

  • The various technologies related to the monitoring human health in real-time for the emergency situations are developing these days. Mostly the human pulse is used for measuring as the vital signs so far, but the EEG became a major research trend now. However, there are some problems measuring and sending EEG signals of all the people walking down the street to the dedicated server. Especially, there are some restrictions for collecting and sending EEG signals in 2-dimensional space in real-time. Therefore, I suggests an efficient network model using 3-dimensional space of drones to avoid the restrictions. The models are designed, simulated, and evaluated with the Opnet simulator.

  • Most of ubiquitous computing devices such as stereo camera, ultrasonic sensor based MIT cricket system and other wireless sensor network devices are widely applied to the 2 Dimensional(2D) localization system in today. Because stereo camera cannot estimate the optimal location between moving node and beacon node in Wireless Personal Area Network(WPAN) under Non Line Of Sight(NLOS) environment, it is a great weakness point to the design of the 2D localization system in indoor environment. But the conventional 2D triangulation scheme that is adapted to the MIT cricket system cannot estimate the 3 Dimensional(3D) coordinate values for estimation of the optimal location of the moving node generally. Therefore, the 3D triangulation scheme based on the space segmentation in WPAN is suggested in this paper. The measuring data in the suggested scheme by computer simulation is compared with that of the geographic measuring data in the AutoCAD software system. The average error of coordinates values(x,y,z) of the moving node is calculated to 0.008m by the suggested scheme. From the results, it can be seen that the location correctness of the suggested scheme is very excellent for using the localization system in WPAN.

  • Gas turbine performance diagnostics is a method for detecting, isolating and quantifying faults in gas turbine gas path components. On-line precise fault diagnosis can promote greatly reliability and availability of gas turbine in real time operation. This work proposes a GUI-type on-line diagnostic program using SIMULINK and Fuzzy-Neuro algorithms for a helicopter turboshaft engine. During development of the diagnostic program, a look-up table type base performance module are used for reducing computer calculating time and a signal generation module for simulating real time performance data. This program is composed of the on-line condition monitoring program to monitor on-line measuring performance condition, the fuzzy inference system to isolate the faults from measuring data and the neural network to quantify the isolated faults. Evaluation of the proposed on-line diagnostic program is performed through application to the helicopter engine health monitoring.

  • The tracking performance of the big tracking antenna system using Radio Frequency is very important for the tracking and position measuring for the flight vehicle, but the precise measuring of the tracking performance is not easy, especially for the big antenna system such as ground telemetry antenna or tracking radar in space application because it's characteristics could be different in accordance with the antenna direction. In this paper, the error factors impacting on the tracking performance (pointing accuracy and tracking accuracy) and the ranges of each factor are reviewed, and the simple and efficient method to measure the tracking performance is introduced which using low earth orbit as the signal source. Finally, the measurement results for the telemetry ground antenna in NARO Space Center are reviewed.

  • In order to teach the nature of science which is one of the goals of science education, the aesthetic model of science was developed into a two-dimensional model through theoretical reviews on the aesthetic aspect of science. We represented 10 kinds of scientific experiments that scientists thought are beautiful in the aesthetic space of science. This paper tried to represent the greatest and famous scientific experiments in the history of science into the aesthetic space of science to find the suitability or usefulness of that model. At the same time, we were able to develop measuring tools as the Likert-scale with pictures of scientific experiments. Through this, we propose various teaching approaches on the nature of science (NOS) based on the aesthetic model of science and the potential for utilization in measuring the effects of the ways of teaching NOS.

  • A newly designed Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter (TEPC) has been developed for the CubeSat mission, SIGMA (Scientific cubesat with Instruments for Global Magnetic field and rAdiation) to investigate space radiation. In order to test the performance of the TEPC, we have performed heavy ion beam experiments with the Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC), Japan. In space, human cells can be exposed to complex radiation sources, such as X-ray, Gamma ray, energetic electrons, protons, neutrons and heavy charged particles in a huge range of energies. These generate much a larger range of Linear Energy Transfer (LET) than on the ground and cause unexpected effects on human cells. In order to measure a large range of LET, from 0.3 to $1,000keV/{\mu}m$, we developed a compact TEPC which measures ionized particles produced by collisions between radiation sources and tissue equivalent materials in the detector. By measuring LET spectra, we can easily derive the equivalent dose from the complicated space radiation field. In this HIMAC experiment, we successfully obtained the linearity response for the TEPC with Fe 500 MeV/u and C 290 MeV/u beams and demonstrated the performance of the active radiation detector.
