A pilot study has been conducted to guide the development of a finite element modeling formulation for the analysis of architectural glass curtain walls under in-plane lateral load simulating earthquake effects. This pilot study is one aspect of ongoing efforts to develop a general prediction model for glass cracking and glass fallout for architectural glass storefront and curtain wall systems during seismic loading. For this study, the ANSYS finite element analysis program was used to develop a model and obtain the stress distribution within an architectural glass panel after presumed seismic movements cause glass-to-frame contact. The analysis was limited to static loading of a dry-glazed glass curtain wall panel. A mock-up of the glass curtain wall considered in the analysis with strain gages mounted at select locations on the glass and the aluminum framing was subjected to static loading. A comparison is made between the finite element analysis predicted strain and the experimentally measured strain at each strain gage location.

본 연구에서는 선행연구를 통하여 개발된 고도처리 공정의 현장적용을 용이하게 하기 위하여 이를 개조한 retrofitting 공정을 제안하였으며, 제안된 공정을 $50m^3$/일 규모의 pilot plant 운전을 통하여 현장 평가하였다. 또한 pilot plant 내에서 미생물의 배양 상태를 확인하기 위하여 FISH 법을 이용하여 세균 군집구조를 조사하였다. 제안된 retrofitting 공정은 배양조를 별도로 건설하지 않음으로써 16%($60,000m^3$/일 규모 고도처리시설 도입 기준)의 초기건설비를 절감할 수 있는 것으로 평가되었으며, 동절기를 포함한 장기간의 pilot plant 운전을 통하여 수처리 효율과 유지관리 측면에서 현장적용성이 우수한 것으로 사료되며 방류수질 기준을 만족하는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 pilot plant와 대조군(A2/O 공정, B 하수처리장)에서 총세균수는 큰 차이가 없으나, pilot plant의 bioreactor에 의해서 세균 군집 변화가 다르게 나타났다. 우점종은 주로 하수처리에서 중요한 역할을 하는 토양 미생물이 속한 ${\beta}$-proteobacteria group이고, bioreactor 유출수에서 유입수 대비 $25{\sim}607%$ 증가하는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이렇게 증가된 ${\beta}$-group의 미생물은 시스템 내에서 일정 농도를 유지하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Many highway bridges in Korea need seismic retrofit because only one decade has passed since the seismic design criteria was introduced. In this experimental study, the effectiveness of base isolation bearings was discussed for the seismic retrofit of the highway bridges. Four real scale RC pier specimens were constructed for the test. These RC piers didn't have seismic details. Except for one RC pier for the pilot test, three types of bearings such as Pot bearing, Rubber bearing (RB), Lead-rubber bearing (LRB) were applied to the other RC piers respectively. The RC pier with Pot bearing means current state of the prototype bridge that is not retrofitted seismically. And two RC piers with RB or LRB mean assumed states of the prototype bridge that are retrofitted seismically. To simulate dynamic behavior of these RC piers under earthquake loads, Pseudo-dynamic test method was used.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a Korean version of the Self-Care for Aspiration Pneumonia Prevention (SCAPP-K) scale in older adults at risk of dysphasia. Methods: The Hertz and Baas model of scale development and validation was used. In the development stage, items were generated via literature review and interviews with medical experts, older adults, and caregivers. Ten experts assessed the items for content validity. Subsequently, 12 older adults participated in a pilot test to determine the comprehensibility and appropriateness of the SCAPP-K scale. The validation stage involved a cross-sectional survey with 203 older adults for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 200 older adults for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and to determine convergent and discriminant validity. To test the validity and reliability of the scale, EFA using principal component analysis with varimax rotation and CFA were conducted, and convergent and discriminant validity as well as internal consistency reliability were determined. Results: As a result of EFA, three self-care factors (knowledge, resources, behaviors) with 21 items were validated. The CFA and convergent and discriminant validity indicated the applicability of the three-factor self-care scale. The reliability of the SCAPP-K scale was acceptable, with Cronbach's α=.87~.91. Conclusion: The SCAPP-K scale has acceptable validity and reliability and can contribute to clinical practice, research, and education to improve self-care for the prevention of aspiration pneumonia in older adults at risk of dysphasia.

부영양화 호소의 수질관리를 위한 물리화학적 처리공정-초고속응집침전(URC) 공정의 적용가능성을 확인하기 위해 인하대학교내에 있는 위락용 소형호소인 인경호를 대상으로 pilot plant 규모의 실험이 수행되었다. URC 공정은 부영양화를 억제할 수 있는 주요인자인 총인을 95%이상 제거할 수 있도록 특별하게 설계되어졌다. 실험기간 중 총인과 클로로필-a를 기준으로 하는 Carlson의 호소영양상태지수는 운전 전 각각 70과 73에서 운전 후 약 55로 개선되었다. 또한 응집처리에 의해 유출수내에 존재할 수 있는 잔류 알루미늄과 추가적으로 주입되는 가중응집제와 고분지응집제에 의한 Photobacterium phosphoreum의 잠재적인 독성영향이 명가되었으며 실험결과 응집 유출수는 형광 미생물에게 어떠한 영향($EC_{50}$-15min)도 미치지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. URC 공정의 운전 이후 인경호는 국내 호소 수질환경기준 II등급으로 투명도를 회복할 수 있었으며, 보다 큰 호소의 수질관리를 위한 URC 공정의 적용이 기대된다.

This study was performed to reuse the dyeing wastewater sludge treated by Fenton process through the solidification/stabilization technique. To solidify the dyeing sludge the industrial by-products such as blast furnace slag, fly ash and waste sand with cement were used. The laboratory scale and pilot scale test were conducted at room temperature to make construction brick which has high compressive strength and low leaching of heavy metals. The experimental results showed that blast furnace slag and fly ash could be used instead of cement and the products satisfied the regulation of Korean Standards. The blast furnace slag increased the compressive strength and the optimum ratio of slag/dyeing sludge on dry basis was found 0.4. The solidifying agent of SB series could increase rapidly the compressive strength and the optimum ratio of solidifying agent/sludge on dry basis was 0.26 at which the strength was two times compared with non-added condition. The portion of waste and industrial by-products in matrix was over 80%. From the pilot test the optimum pressure in molding was 100kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at which the compressive strength was over 100kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. And the strength increased continuously to 160kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ until 120 days curing time due to pozzolanic reaction. When SB-20 as a solidifying agent was used, the unconfined compressive strength of dyeing sludge could be obtained 110kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ which satisfied the regulation of cement brick in Korea Standard(KS).

세계적으로 물의 부족, 온실가스 배출증가, 에너지 소비 증가 등으로 인하여 지구가 위협받고 있다. 기존의 도시 계획 및 개발 과정에서 산림, 하천 등 자연 생태계가 파괴되어 왔으며 이는 불투수면의 증가를 초래하였다. 불투수면의 증가로 인하여 자연적인 물순환 체계가 파괴됨에 따라 도시내 물의 저류, 침투, 증발 등이 감소되고 있으며, 강우시 불투수면에서 발생하는 비점오염원이 하천 및 호소로 직접 유입되어 수계에 악영향을 끼치고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 강우시 불투수면에서 발생하는 비점오염물질을 저감하고 불투수면의 증가로 인한 도시지역의 온도증가, 열섬현상 등을 해결하는 소규모 HSSF 인공습지 기술을 개발하고자 한다. HSSF 인공습지는 표면에 물이 존재하지 않고 유체의 흐름이 표면 아래 수평으로 흐르는 습지이며 침전, 여과, 흡착, 식생에 의한 흡수 등의 기작을 포함한다. 이러한 HSSF 인공습지를 도시지역의 협소한 공간에도 적용이 가능한 소규모 형태로 개발하고자 pilot-scale test를 실시하였으며, 이러한 연구결과는 향후 국내 도시 열섬현상 저감 및 자연적 물순환 복원을 위한 시설 개발에 기초자료로 활용 될 것이다.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and test a reward scale for hospital nurses. Methods: The initial items were identified through a literature review and focus group interviews with ten hospital nurses. The content validity of the items was evaluated by ten experts. Fifty-one items were derived from the pilot survey. Four hundred eighty-eight nurses participated in the study: 248 for exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and 240 confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data were analyzed using item analysis, EFA, CFA, convergent validity, known-group validity, and internal consistency using IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0 and IBM SPSS AMOS 29.0. Results: The final scale consisted of 31 items and eight factors (decent wage, opportunity to grow and develop, support for special situations, various benefits, flexibility of work, job-related achievement, reflecting career and performance, and recognition), which explained 67.3% of the total variance. The eight-subscale model was validated by CFA. Convergent validity was evaluated by analyzing correlation with intention to leave (r = - .63, p < .001) and job satisfaction (r = .54, p < .001). The known-group validity was evaluated by comparing the reward scales according to age, clinical career, income level and hospital type. The scale was found to be reliable with a Cronbach's α of .89. Conclusion: Both the validity and reliability of the reward scale for hospital nurses are verified, which can enhance the understanding of the range of rewards and may assist nurse managers in establishing an effective reward system.
