현재 소규모 유역에서의 수공구조물의 설계시 확률강우강도식을 사용하여 강우량을 산정하는 것이 일반적인 적용방법으로 이용되어지고있다. 확률강우의 산정은 그 자체로서 불확실성을 많이 내포하고 있으나 현실적으로 강우의 비선형성을 해석함에 있어 단순화는 배제 할 수 없는 필요사항이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 확률강우량 산정을 위한 강우강도식의 산정에 있어서 그 비선형성을 잘 모의할 수 있는 방법에 관하여 연구하여 보았다. 연구결과에 의하면 유전자 알고리즘이 시산법이나 비선형계획법의 일종인 Powell 기법에 비하여 더 신뢰성 높은 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

Whenever planning a study design or preparing a research proposal it is highly recommended that investigators decide the optimum sample size that is required to yield an outcome of interest with a predetermined level of precision. This is because that, all else being equal, if a study with less than the optimum sample size would not detect the significance of differences in reality, and similarly, if a study with more than the optimum sample size will be costly. For these reasons, the majority of peer reviewed biomedical journals assess the adequacy of sample size requirements. The calculated sample size is used as a target number of samples to be collected to provide an estimate of the parameter with the desired and predetermined level of accuracy, and the sample size is a major determinant of the probability of detecting diseased animals from the population. There is no single method of calculating sample size for any given study design. In this context, the purpose of this article is to provide a collection of formulas and examples for some typical situations likely to be encountered in veterinary clinical practice and to highlight the importance of performing prospective sample size calculations when planning a research. Specifically, this paper is concerned with the basic principle of sample size calculation, and considerations for methodological applications were illustrated for a given data set. Also included in this paper is factors influencing sample size calculations using a statistically valid techniques. Appropriate methods to consider these factors are presented.

This study investigates ground motion parameters and their damage potential for building type structures. It focuses on low and mid-rise reinforced concrete buildings that are important portion of the existing building stock under seismic risk in many countries. Correlations of 19 parameters of 466 earthquake records with nonlinear displacement demands of 1056 Single Degree of Freedom (SDOF) systems are investigated. Properties of SDOF systems are established to represent RC building construction practice. The correlation of damage and ground motion characteristics is examined with respect to number of story and site classes. Equations for average nonlinear displacement demands of considered RC buildings are given for some of the ground motion parameters. Velocity related parameters are generally found to have better results than the acceleration, displacement and frequency related ones. Correlation of the parameters may be expected to decrease with increasing intensity of seismic event. Velocity Spectrum Intensity and Peak Ground Velocity have been found to have the highest correlation values for almost all site classes and number of story groups. Common parameter of Peak Ground Acceleration has lower correlation with damage when compared to them and some other parameters like Effective Design Acceleration and Characteristic Intensity.

In this paper, the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower on elastic subsoil exposed to unsymmetrical wind loading is presented. Modified Vlasov foundation model is used to determine the soil parameters as a function of vertical deformation profile within subsoil. The iterative parameter updating procedure involves the use of Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) feature of SAP2000 to provide two way data flow during execution. A computing tool coded in MATLAB employing OAPI is used to perform the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower with supporting columns over a hollow annular raft founded on elastic subsoil. The analysis of such complex soil-structure system is investigated under self-weight and unsymmetrical wind load. The response of the cooling tower on elastic subsoil is compared with that of a tower that its supporting raft foundation is treated as fixed at the base. The results show that the effect of subsoil on the behavior of cooling tower is considerable at the top and bottom of the wall as well as supporting columns and raft foundation. The application of a full-size cooling tower has demonstrated that the procedure is simple, fast and can easily be implemented in practice.

The heat exchange between the Borehole Heat Exchanger(BHE) and the surrounding ground depends directly on ground thermal conductivity k at the certain site. The k is thus a key parameter in designing BHE and coupled geothermal heat pump systems. Currently, although a thermal hydraulic Response Test(TRT) is mostly used in practice, the thermal hydraulic TRT needs additional power and is generally time-consuming. A new, simple wireless probe for hi-speed k determination was introduced in this paper. This technique using a wireless probe is less time-consuming and requires no external source of energy for measurement and predicts local thermal properties by measuring soil temperatures along the depth. Measured temperature data along the depth was analyzed. As a result, the electronic wireless probe can replace the conventional hydraulic TRT method after carrying out the additional research on a lot of local heat flow, etc.

Design practice has been made on an oil-less scroll air compressor as an air supply device for a 2 kW fuel cell system where air pressure of 2 bar and flow rate of 120 liter/min are required. Basic structure of the scroll compressor includes double-sided scroll wrap for the orbiting scroll driven by two crankshafts connected to each other by a timing belt. These features can eliminate thrust surface which otherwise would produce frictional heat and jeopardize reliable operation of the orbiting scroll and the scroll element's deformation as well. This study focuses on optimum scroll wrap design; orbiting radius has been chosen as an independent design parameter. As the orbiting radius changes, scroll sizes such as scroll base plate and discharge port diameters change accordingly. Gas compression-related losses and mechanical loss also change with the orbiting radius. With a scroll base plate diameter of 120mm at most and discharge port of at least 10mm, the orbiting radius should be within the range of 2.5-4.0mm. With this range of the orbiting radius, it was estimated by performance analysis that the compressor efficiency reached to a maximum of ${\eta}_c$=96% at the orbiting radius of $r_s$=3.5mm for the scroll wrap height-to-thickness ratio of h/t=5.

구간통행속도는 도로의 교통상황을 나타내는 중요한 지표이며, UTIS(Urban Traffic Information System)는 도로의 구간 통행속도를 측정하여 제공하는 대표적인 구간속도 측정시스템이다. 시험운영 결과, 프로브 차량의 미통과, 시스템 H/W 및 S/W 오작동 등의 이유로 UTIS 산출 구간통행속도가 도로의 일부 링크에서 결측되는 현상이 나타나고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 결측구간에 신뢰성 높은 교통정보를 제공하기 위한 구간통행속도 추정 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 적용하여 현장실험을 실시한 결과 새로운 알고리즘이 추정한 속도들의 정학도가 93.6%로 분석되었다. 이는 새로운 알고리즘이 결측구간의 속도를 비교적 정확하게 추정하여 구간통행속도 산출 정확도를 높여줌을 나타낸다.

There have existed for a number of years good practice guidelines for the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in the field of wind engineering. As part of those guidelines, details are given for the size of flow domain that should be used around a building of height, H. For low-rise buildings, the domain sizes produced by following the guidelines are reasonable and produce results that are largely free from blockage effects. However, when high-rise or tall buildings are considered, the domain size based solely on the building height produces very large domains. A large domain, in most cases, leads to a large cell count, with many of the cells in the grid being used up in regions far from the building/wake region. This paper challenges this domain size guidance by looking at the effects of changing the domain size around a tall building. The RNG ${\kappa}-{\varepsilon}$ turbulence model is used in a series of steady-state solutions where the only parameter varied is the domain size, with the mesh resolution in the building/wake region left unchanged. Comparisons between the velocity fields in the near-field of the building and pressure coefficients on the building are used to inform the assessment. The findings of the work for this case suggest that a domain of approximately 10% the volume of that suggested by the existing guidelines could be used with a loss in accuracy of less than 10%.

Apparent Shea Force(ASF:외부전단력) 을 적용 균일대칭복단면의 하도추적을 위한 새로운 컴퓨터 모델 ASFMCS가 개발되었다. 기본공식은 Muskingum-Cunge방법이 이용되었으며 ASFFMCS의 특징은 복합단면에서 하도추적이 수행되는 과정에서 중앙저수부와 홍수터 사이에 발생하는 ASF가 고려되었다. 비선형 매개변수를 적용하고 유량변화에 따라 시간과 공간의 차분의 크기가 변하도록 (Variable Time Step and Spatial step법) 모델링이 되었다. ASFMCS의 결과는 DAMBRK와 기존의 단면분리법을 사용한 GPMC 모델에 의해 발생한 수문곡선과 비교되었다. ASFMCS와 DAMBRK의 결과는 같은 경계조건 및 입력조건에 대해 거의 같은 수문곡선을 발생시켰으나 GPMC의 결과와는 상당한 차이를 보였다.

Myocardial perfusion imaging has been increasingly used to provide prognostic data and guidance on the choice of appropriate management of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. The electrocardiogram gated myocardial SPECT program is corning into wide use with an advent of $^{99m}Tc-labeled$ tracers and an improvement of SPECT machines. The gated technique permits measurement of important cardiac prognostic indicators without any further discomforts or radiation burden in patients underwent standard myocardial perfusion SPECT. In addition, gated study significantly improves diagnostic yield by reducing the number of borderline interpretations and could find myocardial stunning and viable myocardium. Gated single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging allows the automated calculation of end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, ejection fraction, myocardial mass and the assessment of regional wall motion and thickening, and it have dramatically improved assessment of coronary artery disease in routine nuclear practice. This allows the simultaneous assessment of both perfusion and function within the same acquisition, and serves as a cost-effective technique for providing more diagnostic data with fewer diagnostic tests. Because the diagnostic and prognostic power derived from knowledge of left ventricular function can be added to that provided by assessing myocardial perfusion, gated SPECT imaging has rapidly gained widespread acceptance and is now used on a routine clinical basis in a growing number of laboratories, including South Korea. The gated SPECT technique for measurement of left ventricular parameters has been validated against a variety of well established techniques. In this work, overview of gated myocardial perfusion SPECT focus on functional parameters is presented.
