The present paper investigates the curvature ductility of confined reinforced concrete (RC) beams with normal (NSC) and high strength concrete (HSC). For the purpose of predicting the curvature ductility factor, an analytical model was developed based on the equilibrium of internal forces of confined concrete and reinforcement. In this context, the curvatures were calculated at first yielding of tension reinforcement and at ultimate when the confined concrete strain reaches the ultimate value. To best simulate the situation of confined RC beams in flexure, a modified version of an ancient confined concrete model was adopted for this study. In order to show the accuracy of the proposed model, an experimental database was collected from the literature. The statistical comparison between experimental and predicted results showed that the proposed model has a good performance. Then, the data generated from the validated theoretical model were used to train the artificial neural network (ANN) prediction model. The R² values for theoretical and experimental results are equal to 0.98 and 0.95, respectively which proves the high performance of the ANN model. Finally, a parametric study was implemented to analyze the effect of different parameters on the curvature ductility factor using theoretical and ANN models. The results are similar to those extracted from experiments, where the concrete strength, the compression reinforcement ratio, the yield strength, and the volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement have a positive effect. In contrast, the ratio and the yield strength of tension reinforcement have a negative effect.

철근콘크리트 연속보에서 모멘트재분배는 철근콘크리트 부재 설계의 효율성과 경제성을 높일 수 있는 매우 유익한 현상이다. 그러나 모멘트재분배 현상에 의한 구조적 거동을 이해하기 위해서는 인장증강 효과, 모멘트재분배와 보 처짐 관계, 균열과 유효 강성 등이 고려된 모멘트재분배 현상에 대해 실험적인 검증이 요구된다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 인장증강 효과가 모멘트재분배 현상에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통해 검증하기 위해 실제 사용되는 보의 크기를 고려하여 폭 250 mm, 높이 350 mm, 길이 7,000 mm로 하고, 인장증강 효과와 관련있는 철근과 콘크리트의 비부착 구간의 위치를 변수로 하여 총 6개의 철근콘크리트 연속보를 제작하였다. 실험 결과 철근 비부착 구간의 위치에 따라 시험체의 모멘트재분배율이 다르게 측정되었으며, 특히 부모멘트와 정모멘트 발생 지점에 모두 비부착 구간이 있는 경우에는 모멘트재분배 현상이 생기지 않는 것으로 관찰되었다.

흰쥐로 부터 심장을 적출하여 Langendorff 관류장치에 현수하여 Krebs-Hensleit 영양액으로 분당 12ml속도로 30분간 관류시킨 후 관류 속도를 분당 1ml로 줄여(ischemia)60분간 관류시키면, 적출심장의 수축력이 현저히 감소되었고, resting tension이 현저히 증가되었다. 또 적출심장으로부터 유출되는 관류액의 250nm에서의 UV흡광치는 증가되었으며, 좌심실내의 칼슘의 농도는 대조군보다 상당히 증가되었다. 본 실험에서는 흰쥐에서 항염증작용, 혈압강하 및 서맥 작용, 평활근 및 심장근에서 근이완작용을 나타내는 cyclobuxine D의 ischemia에 의해 유도된 심장손상에 대한 보호효과를 관찰하였다. Cyclobuxine D(100ng/ml)는 ischemia에 의해 유발된 적출심장의 수축력 감소와 resting tension의 증가를 유의하게 억제하였으며, 심장으로부터의 ATP metabolites의 유출과 좌심실내의 칼슘 축적을 억제시켰다. 이상의 결과는 Cyclobuxine D가 ischemia에 의해 유발된 손상으로 부터 심장을 보호할 수 있음을 나타내며, 이는 cyclobuxine D의 심장세포내의 칼슘 유입 억제작용에 기인하는 것으로 사려된다.

근긴장성 발성장애(cepstral peak prominence, MTD) 환자의 모음 발성과 문장읽기 과제를 켑스트럼 기반 변수를 이용하여 분석하였으며 음성장애 환자의 GRBAS청지각적 특성과 음향학적 특성의 상관관계를 살펴보고, 랜덤포레스트 머신러닝 분류 알고리듬을 이용한 MTD 감별 진단 가능성을 논의하였다. 내원 시 MTD로 진단받은 여성 36명과 정상음성을 사용하는 여성 36명이 연구에 참여했으며, 수집한 음성샘플은 ADSVTM를 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 음향학적 측정치 중 MTD의 CSID(cepstral spectral index of dysphonia)는 대조군보다 높았으며, CPP(cepstral peak prominence), CPP_Fo 값이 대조군보다 유의하게 낮았다. 이는 모음 발성과 읽기 과제에서 모두 동일하게 나타났다. MTD 환자의 음질 특성은 전반적인 음성중증도(G)가 가장 두드러졌으며, 조조성(R), 기식성(B), 노력성(S)순으로 음성 특성을 보였다. 이 특성이 높아질수록 CPP가 감소하는 부적 상관을 보이고, CSID는 증가하는 정적 상관이 관찰되었다. 켑스트럴 변수 중 모음과 문장읽기과제 모두에서 집단간 유의한 차이를 보여준 CPP와 CPP_F0를 이용하여 MTD와 대조군의 음성분류를 시도하였다. 머신러닝 알고리듬인 랜덤포레스트로 모델링한 결과 문장읽기 과제에서 모음연장발성보다 조금 더 높은 분류 정확도(83.3%)가 나왔으며, 모음 발성과 문장 읽기 과제 모두에서 CPP변수가 더 중심적 역할을 수행하였음을 알 수 있었다.

철도교는 강성이 주요한 설계인자이기 때문에 기존의 2거더 교량의 구조적 효율성을 높이기 위해서 이중합성 구조를 가진 철도교를 제안하였다. 일반적으로 강합성 연속교를 설계할 경우, 부모멘트 구간에 존재하는 콘크리트 바닥판은 인장에 저항하지 못한다고 가정하고 바닥판 단면을 무시하게 된다. 부모멘트 구간에서는 합성단면의 강성이 감소하게 되므로 이를 보완하기 위해 강재단면이 커지게 되는데, 이러할 경우 변단면의 적용이 불가피하게 되고 강합성형으로서의 장점이 반감된다고 할 수 있다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위한 다양한 접근법이 존재하지만 그 중에서도 경간을 확대하고 강성이 중요한 설계인자가 되는 경우에 적절하게 사용될 수 있도록 제안된 교량의 형태가 이중합성구조이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이중합성 전단연결부의 거동을 파악하기 위하여 수평스터드, 수평스터드와 수직스터드가 함께 배치된 복합스터드 부재에 대한 push-out 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과의 분석을 통하여 기존의 설계식과의 비교를 수행하고 정적 거동을 평가하였다.

The purpose of this study was to examine the level of stress, somatization, anger, adjustment to school according to the types of housing. This study employed a descriptive design. Data was collected from 552 students in a girls high school in gongju using structured instruments. Not to be influenced by the tension of new school year or the stress by taking tests, the researcher did the survey after students finishing midterm test of the first semester for two days from July 14 to 15. The results are as follows. There was no difference in the level of stress, anger, adjustment to school between the students living in a dormitory and the students not living in a dormitory. However there was remarkable difference in somatization. There was positive correlation between somatization and stress(r=.194, p=.011), between anger and stress(r=.463, p<.001), in contrast there was a negative correlation between adjustment to school and stress(r=-.174, p<.001) of students living in a dormitory. On the other hand, there was negative correlation stress(r=-.187, p<.001), somatization(r=-.252, p<.001), anger(r=-.230, p<.001) with adjustment to school of students not living in a dormitory. In the sub-factors of somatization, students who live in a dormitory have many kinds of somatizations of digestive or respiratory organs. A Health promotion program should be designed for girls high school students living in a dormitory, based on the level of somatization of digestive or respiratory organs.

Purpose : Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) is often accompanied by pain and limited range of motion of the jaw joint, which affect patients' quality of life and result in hypertrophy or hyperactivity of the muscles around the jaw joint. In this study, we compared the muscle thickness and tone of the masseter and sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscles and the jaw range of motion in individuals with and without TMJD. Correlation comparison was performed on the results of the TMJD group. Methods : This study included 40 patients; 20 patients were assigned to an experimental group (TMJD group) and 20 to a control group (non-TMJD group). Ultrasonography, myotonometry, and measurements performed with digital Vernier calipers were used to determine the changes in muscle thickness, muscle tone, and maximum jaw opening, respectively. The independent t-test was used for intergroup comparison of data, and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to compare correlations in the TMJD group results. Results : We observed a significant intergroup difference in the masseter and SCM thickness during the relaxed and clenched phases (p<.05). A significant intergroup difference was also observed in maximum jaw opening (p<.05). With regard to muscle tone, we observed a significant intergroup difference in frequency (p=.011) and stiffness (p=.011) of the masseter, as well as in the frequency (p=.009) and stiffness (p=.026) of the SCM. We observed a moderate negative correlation (r=-.524) between maximum jaw opening and the frequency of the masseter. Additionally, we observed a moderately negative correlation between jaw opening and muscle stiffness (r=-.321). Conclusion : Planning exercise programs to treat patients with TMJD who present with pain should focus on efforts to reduce muscle thickness and achieve muscle relaxation (to reduce muscle tension) for improved jaw range of motion.

Relatively little studies have investigated employee recovery from internal service failure, especially from the employees' perspective. When handling customer complaints, employees must not only deal with legitimate customer demands after a service failure, such as providing an apology, rectifying the problem, and offering compensation, but they must also manage illegitimate dysfunctional customers, who may yell, threaten, and even physically harm the employee. These negative experiences can have strong effects, and employees can exhibit higher levels of stress such as burnout and emotional labor, which have been linked to dissatisfaction, tension and anxiety, reduced performance and effectiveness, and a greater propensity to leave the firm, ultimately leading to negative financial consequences for the firm. These conditions result in internal service failure and create the need to recover employees-in other words, internal service recovery. However, little research has examined this issue so far. The purpose of the current study, therefore, is to investigate the relationship between internal service recovery and employee outcomes. A pre-test, post-test between-subjects experimental design was developed. Participants were 166 part-time students who were working full-time. The average age of the participants was 36.74 years, and 57.50% of them were female. The average length of employment was 13 years. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups of approximately equal size. Three of the groups were subjected to an experimental situation involving an internal service failure, while one group was not exposed to failure, thereby acting as a control group. This study contributes to the service marketing literature in several ways. First, the study extends service failure and/or recovery research by examining recovery in an employee context. Second, this study attempts to measure internal service recovery and to empirically demonstrate its relationship to employee outcomes. Third, this investigation emphasizes the managerial importance of internal service recovery. For example, understanding the nature of the relationships between internal service recovery and its consequences can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of managers' resource allocation decisions.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of watching a virtual reality (VR) forest video on stress reduction in adults. Experiments were performed in an artificial climate chamber where temperature, humidity and illumination were controlled. To cause stress in subjects, the subjects were asked to multiply two digit numbers by one digit numbers for two minutes. The subjects then watched a VR forest video for five minutes. During the experiment, the heart rate variability (HRV) and heart rate (HR) of subjects were continuously measured for evaluating their physiological state. After measuring the baseline and watching a VR forest video, their psychological state was evaluated using the profile of mood state (POMS), semantic differential (SD) method, and positive affect and negative affect schedule (PANAS). The results of physiological evaluation after watching a VR forest video showed a decrease in the stress index and HR, an increase in the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, and the standard deviation of normal to normal RR intervals (SDNN). The results of psychological assessment confirmed that watching a VR forest video induced "comfort", "natural", and "soothed" feelings in subjects. In addition, watching a VR forest video decreased "tension-anxiety (T-A)", "depression-dejection (D)", "anger-hostility (A-H)", "fatigue (F)", "total mood disturbance (TMD)", and increased "vigor (V)" compared to the base line, and decreased "negative affect" and increased "positive affect." These results indicate that watching a VR forest video decreases adults' stress index, stabilizes physiological state, and has a positive impact on psychological state. The findings of this study can serve as a basis for providing forest welfare services to people in the blind spots of forest welfare, and can lay a foundation for the adoption of VR, one of the technologies of the fourth industrial revolution in forestry.
