This paper simulates the hysteretic behavior of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) columns under cyclic loads using OpenSees software. The effective fiber model and displacement-based beam-column element in OpenSees is applied to each SRRC columns. The Concrete01 material model for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and Steel02 material model is proposed to perform the numerical simulation of columns. The constitutive models of RAC, profile steel and rebars in columns were assigned to each fiber element. Based on the modelling method, the analytical models of SRRC columns are established. It shows that the calculated hysteresis loops of most SRRC columns agree well with the test curves. In addition, the parameter studies (i.e., strength grade of RAC, stirrups strength, steel strength and steel ratio) on seismic performance of SRRC columns were also investigated in detail by OpenSees. The calculation results of parameter analysis show that SRRC columns suffered from flexural failure has good seismic performance through the reasonable design. The ductility and bearing capacity of columns increases as the increasing magnitude of steel strength, steel ratio and stirrups strength. Although the bearing capacity of columns increases as the strength grade of RAC increases, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity decreases gradually. Based on the test and numerical results, the flexural failure mechanism of SRRC columns were analysed in detail. The computing theories of the normal section of bearing capacity for the eccentrically loaded columns were adopted to calculate the nominal bending strength of SRRC columns subjected to vertical axial force under lateral cyclic loads. The calculation formulas of horizontal bearing capacity for SRRC columns were proposed based on their nominal bending strength.

본 논문에서는 개방 지역 혹은 위성 채널과 같이 직진파 (Line-Of-Sight; LOS) 성분이 존재하는 라이시안 (Rician) 다중경로 페이딩 채널 하에서의 광대역 부호 분할 다원 접속 (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access; W-CDMA) 시스템에 적합한 단순한 형태의 개방루프 전송 다이버시티 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법은 송신기에서 어떠한 사전 처리 과정도 필요하지 않기 때문에 기존의 폐쇄루프 전송 다이버시티 기법인 TxAA (Transmit Adaptive Array)나 개방루프 시공간 전송 다이버시티 (space-Time Transmit Diversity; STTD)에 비하여 간단한 구조를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 제안 기법의 수신단 출력 신호대잡음비 (Signal-to-Noise Ratio; SNR)에 대한 확률밀도함수 및 비트오율 (Bit Error Rate; BER)을 유도한다. 또한 전형적인 라이시안 페이딩 채널 환경에서 모의 실험을 통해 해석 결과의 타당성을 검증하고 기존의 전송 다이버시티 기법들과의 성능 비교 결과를 제시한다. 모의실험 결과, LOS 성분이 매우 작은 경우에는 기존의 개방루프 STTD 기법 보다 약간의 우위를 유지하는데 그치지만 LOS 성분이 커질수록 기존의 개방루프 STTD 기법보다 월등히 우수해지며 이상적인 폐쇄루프 TxAA 시스템의 이론적인 성능에 근접함을 알 수 있다.

Backgrounds/Aims: Current literature presents limited data regarding outcomes following conversion at the time of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy (MI-PD). Methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients were stratified into three groups: MI-PD, converted to open pancreaticoduodenectomy (CO-PD), and open pancreaticoduodenectomy (O-PD). Multivariable modeling was applied to compare outcomes of MI-PD and CO-PD to those of O-PD. Results: Of 17,570 patients identified, 12.5%, 4.2%, and 83.4% underwent MI-PD, CO-PD, and O-PD, respectively. Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (R-PD) resulted in a higher lymph node yield (n = 23.2 ± 12.2) even when requiring conversion (n = 22.4 ± 13.2, p < 0.001). Margin positivity was higher in the CO-PD group (26.6%) than in the MI-PD group (21.3%) and the O-PD (22.6%) group (p = 0.017). Length of stay was shorter in the MI-PD group (laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy 10.4 ± 8.6, R-PD 10.6 ± 8.8) and the robotic converted to open group (10.7 ± 6.4) than in the laparoscopic converted to open group (11.2 ± 9) and the O-PD group (11.5 ± 8.9) (p < 0.001). After adjusting for patient and tumor characteristics, both MI-PD (odds ratio = 1.40; p < 0.001) and CO-PD (odds ratio = 1.24; p = 0.020) were significantly associated with an increased likelihood of long-term survival. Conclusions: CO-PD does not negatively impact perioperative or oncologic outcomes.

Three highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum cvs. Bluecrop, Coville, and Northland) grown in an open field and in a rain shelter were compared to evaluate the potential benefits of rain-sheltering systems on growth and fruit quality. Shrubs grown in rain shelter flowered 5-14 days earlier and were in full bloom earlier than those in the open field. All three cultivars set fruit by nearly 90% of flowers when they were grown in the open field, but was markedly reduced when they were grown in the rain shelter, to approximately 50% for 'Bluecrop' and 'Coville'. Fruit sets ratio of 'Northland' grown in the in the rain shelter was 14.5. Fruit from greenhouse-grown 'Northland' were larger, heavier, and had more seeds per berry. Soluble sugar content (SSC) of fruits varied both with the cultivars and growing conditions. SSC of fruits grown in the greenhouse was higher in 'Bluecrop' compared to that grown in the field, but this pattern was reversed in 'Northland'. Titratable acid was significantly higher in fruits from rain shelter-grown shrubs of both 'Bluecrop' and 'Northland' than in fruits from open field-grown shrubs (P < 0.05), although there was no difference in TA with respect to growing conditions for 'Coville'. The number of seed per fruit, fruit length and diameter, weight, SSC, and TA were similar in 'Coville' shrubs grown in the open field and the rain shelter. Fruit firmness of 'Bluecrop', 'Coville', and 'Northland' was higher in the rain shelter than in the open field. 'Coville' and 'Northland' fruits harvested in the open field had higher blue chroma than those harvested in the rain shelter. However, this pattern was reversed for 'Bluecrop'. On the whole, sheltering from rain affected most fruit characteristics of the three cultivars differently. Therefore, suitable blueberry cultivars for the rain shelter should be chosen by purpose.

Laparoscopic appendectomy is relatively well-established as an alternative to conventional open appendectomy by many laparoscopic surgeons. However, experience in the pediatric population remains limited. Over a period of 2 years, a total of 155 pediatric patients with acute appendicitis or complicated appendicitis were studied to compare laparoscopic and open appendectomies in childhood. Laparoscopic appendectomy was attempted in 49 patients and completed in 48 patients(98.0%). Open appendectomy was performed in 107 patients. The severity of disease, age, and male to female ratio were similar in both groups. The operation time was shorter in the laparoscopic group than open group but the difference was not significant statistically($43.7{\pm}11.3$ minutes versus $49.0{\pm}21.4$ minutes, p=0.066). In the laparoscopic group, the mean duration of surgery for the former half patients was significantly longer than for the latter half($49.6{\pm}9.2$ minutes versus $38.1{\pm}10.3$ minutes, p=0.001). The mean number of doses of analgesia required postoperatively was significantly less in patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy($2.4{\pm}1.8$ versus $3.3{\pm}2.5$, p=0.021). There were only 2(4.2%) wound infections after laparoscopic appendectomy compared with 10(9.3%) complications including 7 wound infections, 1 intestinal obstruction, and 2 pulmonary complications after open appendectomy, but the difference was not significant(p=0.614). Patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy had a shorter period of hospitalization($3.2{\pm}2.2$ days versus $6.4{\pm}1.6$ days. p=0.001). The present study suggests that laparoscopic appendectomy shortens operating time and hospital stay with diminished postoperative pain. Laparoscopic appendectomy in children offers advantages over open appendectomy as noted in adults. The authors consider laparoscopic appendectomy to be the reasonable alternative to open appendectomy in children.

The change in the open porosity of bulk graphite as a function of the uniaxial molding pressure during manufacturing is studied using artificial graphite powder. Subsequently, the graphite is impregnated to determine the effect of the open porosity on the impregnation efficiency and to improve the density of the final bulk graphite. Bulk graphite is manufactured with different uniaxial molding pressures after mixing graphite powder, which is the by-product of processing the final graphite products and phenolic resin. The bulk density and open porosity are measured using the Archimedes method. The bulk density and open porosity of bulk graphite increase as the molding pressure increases. The open porosity of molded bulk graphite is 25.35% at 30 MPa and 29.84% at 300 MPa. It is confirmed that the impregnation efficiency increases when the impregnation process is performed on a specimen with large open porosity. In this study, the bulk density of bulk graphite molded at 300 MPa is 11.06% higher than that before impregnation, which is the highest reported increase. Therefore, it is expected that the higher the uniaxial pressure, the higher the density of bulk graphite.

본 논문은 λg/2 개방형 SIR 구조와 전송선로와 대칭 및 비대칭 개방형 스터브를 가진 포크-형태의 구조를 일체화한 이중대역 대역통과 여파가 설계에 대해 제안을 한다. 이중대역 효과를 얻기 위해, 제안된 여파기는 SIR 구조를 이용했고, SIR 구조의 임피던스 비율을 조절한다. 그러므로 여파기의 고조파는 임피던스 비율의 조절을 통해 위치가 이동하게 되며 이는 이중대역 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 이중대역 특성을 얻기 위해 SIR 구조를 반으로 나눈 상태에서 SIR 구조 사이에 개방형 스터브를 삽입하여 이중대역 효과를 얻는다. 또한 포크 형태의 구조에서 개방형 대칭 스터브의 길이를 조절함으로써 두 번째 주파수 응답을 얻는다. 포크 형태에서 비대칭 개방형 스터브는 길이의 조절을 통해 최적의 대역폭을 얻는다. 그러므로 제안된 대역통과 여파기의 첫 번째 중심 주파수는 5.896 GHz이며 대역폭은 13.6 % 이다. 이때, 측정 결과는 0.13 dB 및 33.6 dB이다. 두 번째 중심 주파수는 5.906 GHz이며 대역폭은 13.6 % 이다. 이때, 측정 결과는 0.15 dB 및 19.8 dB이다. 그 이유는 임피던스 비율(Δ)이 1보다 높으면 고조파의 위치는 낮은 주파수 대역으로 이동하게 된다. 그러나 임피던스 비율(Δ)이 1보 낮아지게 된다면 고조파의 위치는 높은 주파수 대역으로 이동하게 될 것이다. 이러한 특징을 이용하여 설계된 여파기의 기능은 측정 결과에서 얻을 수 있다. 제안한 대역통과 여파기는 입출력의 결합구조와 비아 홀이 없기 때문에 결합손실과 비아 에너지 집중 손실이 없다. 그러므로 성능이 우수하여 시스템 집적화가 가능하며 교통통신 시스템에서 활용되는 DSRC (dedicated short-range communication) 시스템 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Temperature has an adverse effect for potential growth and development of Codonopsis lanceolata. The present study examined the responses of growth, yield and mineral element contents under temperature variables in C. lanceolata. Plant height exhibited the best result as being 2 m or higher the open field culture, while the growth is the most restricted in the $30^{\circ}C$. The open field culture also had the largest number of leaves in the early stage of growth. The number of leaves and the height tended to be increased with the temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$. The number of branches showed no significance as 32 branches and 26 branches in open field culture and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The smallest number of branches was observed in the $30^{\circ}C$ with 15 branches. The leaf color recorded the lowest value in the open field culture unlike the growth above the ground. But all other temperature had no significance with the leaf color value between 50.0 and 52.6. The elevated temperature induced the thinner and shorter diameter and length of root. However, the root diameter was not significantly changed with the change of 1.8 cm and 2.1 cm at open field culture, with $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The fresh weights of the primary root and lateral roots were 6.3 g and 3.1 g, respectively, at the high temperature. The result showed the thickening of the lowest part under the ground as restricted. The fresh weights of the main root and lateral root were the highest on the open field culture, 20.6 g and 12.2 g, respectively. The contents of cellulose were the highest as 4.41% in the $20^{\circ}C$, followed by the open field culture, $25^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$. The higher temperature reduced the contents of cellulose. Moreover, P showed higher ratio in the high temperature while Ca and Mg exhibited the higher ratio towards the low temperature. On the contrary, minor quantity (less than 1%) of mineral nutrients was observed towards all temperature variables.

차세대 전산환경은 사용자들이 필요한 전산자원을 네트워크를 통해 공급받는 그리드 컴퓨팅 기반의 개방형 전산환경으로 진화할 것으로 예상된다. 개방형 전산환경의 도입은 전산자원 활용의 효율성을 높이고 협업을 증진시키며 공급의 유연성과 비용 절감 등의 효과를 가져올 수 있다. 그러나 네트워크를 통해 공급되는 특성으로 인해 개방형 전산 자원의 성능에는 변동성이 수반된다. 전산자원의 성능에 변동성이 있는 경우, 주어진 예산과 시간만 고려하여 전산자원 서비스를 구성하는 단순 최적화 방법을 사용했을 때는 서비스의 최종 성능과 실행 시간 등을 규정한 서비스 수준계약(Service Level Agreement, SLA)을 만족시키지 못할 위험이 높다. 따라서 개방형 전산환경의 서비스 브로커는 전산자원 공급의 안정성을 높이기 위해서 서비스를 구성하는 개별 전산자원의 성능 변동성을 고려하여 위험을 최소화 하는전산자원포트폴리오를구성할것이요구된다. 본연구에서는평균절대편차(Mean-Absolute Deviation, MAD) 포트폴리오 최적화 기법을 이용하여 서비스 브로커의 공급 안정성을 향상시키는 방법을 제시하였다. 제시된 최적화 기법의 효과를 알아보기 위한 방법으로 가상의 개방형 전산환경을 모델링하고, 고객의 제약 조건과 개방형 전산환경의 변동성 정도에 따라 전산자원 공급 서비스의 성공률을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과로서, 첫째, 단순 최적화방법보다 변동성을 감안한 MAD 포트폴리오 최적화 기법을 이용했을 때 공급의 안정성이 뛰어난 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 둘째로는 특히 개별 전산자원의 변동성 예측의 정확성이 높아질수록 성능도 더욱 향상되는 결과를 가져왔다. 셋째, 측정된 변동성을 이용하여 개방형 전산자원의 가격을 할인하는 정책을 추진할 경우 서비스 공급 범위의 확대에도 효과가 클 것으로 예상되었다.

Formation of a soil plug in an open-ended pile is a very important factor in determining the pile behavior both during driving and during static loading. The degree of soil plugging can be represented by the incremental filling ratio (IFR) which is defined as the change in the plug length to the change of the pile embedment length. The experimental tests carried out in this research contain 138 tests that are divided as follows: 36 tests for single pile, 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}1$), 36 tests for pile group ($2{\times}2$) and 30 pile group ($2{\times}3$). All tubular piles were tested using the poorly graded sand from the city of Karbala in Iraq. The sand was prepared at three different densities using a raining technique. Different parameters are considered such as method of installation, relative density, removal of soil plug with respect to length of plug and pile length to diameter ratio. The soil plug is removed using a new device which is manufactured to remove the soil column inside open pipe piles group installed using driving and pressing device. The principle of soil plug removal depends on suction of sand inside the pile. It was concluded that the incremental filling ratio (IFR) is changed with the changing of soil state and method of installation. For driven pipe pile group, the average IFR for piles in loose is 18% and 19.5% for L/D=12 and 15, respectively, while the average of IFR for driven piles in dense sand is 30% and 20% for L/D=12 and L/D=15 respectively. For pressed method of pile installation, the average IFR for group is zero for loose and medium sand and about 5% for dense sand. The group capacity increases with the increase of IFR. For driven pile with length of 450 mm, the average IFR % is about 30.3% in dense sand, 14% in medium and 18.3% for loose sand while when the length of pile is 300 mm, the percentage equals to 20%, 17% and 19.5%, respectively.
