We study the properties of supernova (SN) driven interstellar turbulence with a numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model. Calculations were done using the RIEMANN framework for MHD, which is highly suited for astrophysical flows because it tracks shocks using a Riemann solver and ensures pressure positivity and a divergence-free magnetic field. We start our simulations with a uniform density threaded by a uniform magnetic field. A simplified radiative cooling curve and a constant heating rate are also included. In this radiatively-cooling magnetized medium, we explode SNe one at a time at randomly chosen positions with SN explosion rates equal to and 12 times higher than the Galactic value. The evolution of the system is basically determined by the input energy of SN explosions and the output energy of radiative cooling. We follow the simulations to the point where the total energy of the system, as well as thermal, kinetic, and magnetic energy individually, has reached a quasi-stationary value. From the numerical experiments, we find that: i) both thermal and dynamical processes are important in determining the phases of the interstellar medium, and ii) the power index n of the $B-p^n$ relation is consistent with observed values.

Objective : Recently, the survival rate and prognosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage[S-ICH] has improved, and their enhanced survival has become associated with a consequent rise in the recurrence of S-ICH. The aim of this study is to improve the prevention of recurrent S-ICH. Methods : Between January 1999 and March 2004, we experienced 48 cases of recurrence. We classified the patients into the two groups; a double ICH group and a triple ICH group. We investigated their brain CTs, MRIs, cerebral angiographies, and medical records, retrospectively. Results : Majority of patients had the intervals at least 12 months, and most of patients underwent conservative treatment. The most common hemorrhage pattern of recurrence was ganglionic-ganglionic [basal ganglia - basal ganglia], and the second attack was contralateral side of the first attack in a large percentage of all patients. Prognosis of patients was worsened in recurrent attack. Nearly all patients had medical history of hypertension, and most patients have taken antihypertensive medication at the arrival of emergency room. Conclusion : In treating hypertension for S-ICH patients, we stress that blood pressure must be thoroughly controlled over a long period of time.

As the height and flexibility of high-rise buildings increase, the wind loads become more dominant and the combination coefficient of Equivalent Static Wind Loads (ESWLs) should be considered when they are used in the structural design. In the first phase of the study, a brief introduction to the theory on the combination coefficient for high-rise buildings was given and then the time history of wind-induced responses of a 208-meter high-rise building with an elliptical cross-section was presented based on the wind tunnel test results for pressure measurement. The correlation between wind-induced responses was analyzed and the combination coefficients of ESWLs of the high-rise buildings using Turkstra's rule, and Asami's method, were calculated and compared with related design codes, e.g., AIJ-RLB, ASCE 7-10, and China Load Code for structural design. The results of the study showed that the combination coefficients from Asami's method are conservative compared with the other three methods. The results of this paper would be helpful to the wind-resistant design of high-rise buildings with elliptical cross-section.

We described a clinical, laboratory, and genetic presentation of a pathogenic variant of the CYP1B1 gene through a report of a case of primary congenital glaucoma and a trio analysis of this candidate variant in the family with the Sanger sequencing method and eventually completed our study with the secondary/incidental findings. This study reports a rare case of primary congenital glaucoma, an 8-year-old female child with a negative family history of glaucoma and uncontrolled intraocular pressure. This case's whole-exome sequencing data analysis presents a homozygous pathogenic single nucleotide variant in the CYP1B1 gene (NM_000104:exon3:c.G1103A:p.R368H). At the same time, this pathogenic variant was obtained as a heterozygous state in her unaffected father but not her mother. The diagnosis was made based on molecular findings of whole-exome sequencing data analysis. Therefore, the clinical reports and bioinformatics findings supported the relation between the candidate pathogenic variant and the disease. However, it should not be forgotten that primary congenital glaucoma is not peculiar to the CYP1B1 gene. Since the chance of developing autosomal recessive disorders with low allele frequency and unrelated parents is extraordinary in offspring. However, further data analysis of whole-exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing method were applied to obtain the type of mutation and how it was carried to the offspring.

Liquefaction is one of the most devastating geotechnical phenomena that severely damage vital structures and lifelines. Before constructing structures on problematic ground, it is necessary to improve the site and solve the geotechnical problem. Among ground improvement methods dealing with liquefaction, gravel drain (GD) columns and deep soil mixing (DSM) columns are popular. In this study, the results of a series of seismic experiments in a 1g environment on a structure located over liquefiable ground with different thicknesses reinforced with GD and DSM techniques were presented. The dynamic response of the reinforced ground system was investigated based on the parameters of subsidence rate, excess pore water pressure ratio, and maximum acceleration. The time history of the input acceleration was applied harmonically with an acceleration range of 0.2g and at frequencies of 1, 2, and 3 Hz. The results show that the thickness of the liquefiable layer and the frequency of the input motion have a significant impact on the effectiveness of the improvement method and all responses. Among the two techniques used, DSM in thick liquefied layers was much more efficient than GD in controlling the subsidence and rupture of the soil under the foundation. Maximum settlement values, settlement rate, and foundation rotation in the thicker liquefied layer at the 1-Hz input frequency were higher than at other frequencies. At low thicknesses, the dynamic behavior of the GD was closer to that of the DSM.

Concrete construction, one of the oldest building practices, is commonly used in all parts of the world. Concrete is the primary building material for both residential and commercial constructions. The challenge of protecting the buildings, hence nation, against the attack of terrorism has raised the importance to explore the understanding of building materials against the explosion. In this research, a security check-post (reinforced concrete frame filled with plain cement concrete) has been chosen to study the behavior of structural elements under blast loading. Eight nitroglycerines-based dynamite blasts with varying amounts of explosive charge, up to 17 kg weight has been carried out at various scale distances. Pressure and acceleration time history records are measured using blast measuring instruments. Security check post after being exposed by explosive loading are photographed to view cracking/failure patterns on the structural elements. It is noted that with the increase of quantity of explosive, the dimensions of spalling and crack patterns increase on the front panels. Simple empirical analyses are conducted using ConWep and other design manuals such as UFC 3-340-02 (2008) and AASTP-1 (2010) for the purpose of comparison of blast parameters with the experimental records. The results of experimental workings are also compared with earlier researchers to check the compatibility of developed equations. It is believed that the current study presents the simple and preliminary procedure for calculating the air blast and ground shock parameters on the structures exposed to blast explosion.

Objective : The spot sign is related with the risk of hematoma expansion in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, not all spot sign positive patients undergo hematoma expansion. Thus, the present study investigates the specific factors enhancing the spot sign positivity in predicting hematoma expansion. Methods : We retrospectively studied 316 consecutive patients who presented between March 2009 to March 2011 with primary ICH and whose initial computed tomography brain angiography (CTA) was performed at our Emergency Department. Of these patients, 47 primary ICH patients presented spot signs in their CTA. We classified these 47 patients into two groups based on the presence of hematoma expansion then analyzed them with the following factors : gender, age, initial systolic blood pressure, history of anti-platelet therapy, volume and location of hematoma, time interval from symptom onset to initial CTA, spot sign number, axial dimension, and Hounsfield Unit (HU) of spot signs. Results : Of the 47 spot sign positive patients, hematoma expansion occurred in 26 patients (55.3%) while the remaining 21 (44.7%) showed no expansion. The time intervals from symptom onset to initial CTA were $2.42{\pm}1.24$ hours and $3.69{\pm}2.57$ hours for expansion and no expansion, respectively (p=0.031). The HU of spot signs were $192.12{\pm}45.97$ and $151.10{\pm}25.14$ for expansion and no expansion, respectively (p=0.001). Conclusions : The conditions of shorter time from symptom onset to initial CTA and higher HU of spot signs are the emphasizing factors for predicting hematoma expansion in spot sign positive patients.

본 연구에서는 진동하중을 받는 지반의 교란정도차이를 통해 액상화 거동을 규명하는 교란상태개념에 기초하여 제안된 액상화 평가법의 타당성을 비교실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 제안된 평가법의 타당성 검토를 위해, 실내진동시험을 토대로 소산에너지 개념에 기초한 해석결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 불규칙한 지진의 시간이력 전부를 고려하는 제안된 평가법의 특성을 분석하기 위하여 임의의 해석대상지반에 대해 2가지 형태의 실지진 시간이력을 입력한 지진 응답해석을 토대로 액상화 평가를 수행하였으며 이용된 액상화 평가법은 Seed의 경험적 평가방법(Seed등, 1971)을 국내 실정에 부합되도록 수정보완한 방법(김수일 등, 2000)으로 우리나라 해양수산부 주관으로 편찬된 $\ulcorner$항만 및 어항시설의 내진설계 표준서$\lrcorner$에 인용된 방법이다. 액상화 저항특성에 관한 타당성 검토결과, 제안된 평가법과 소산에너지 개념에 기초한 해석결과가 과잉간극수압의 누적으로 발생되는 액상화 현상을 신뢰성 높게 표현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 액상화 평가예를 통해 제안된 평가법에서의 지진력 고려에 대한 특성을 분석한 결과, 제안된 평가법에서는 실지진 시간이력에 대한 지진응답해석을 통해 최대가속도, 탁월주파수, 진동형태, 지속시간 등으로 표현되는 지진특성을 합리적으로 고려되고 있는 반면, 지진에 의한 등가전단음력 산정시 등가의 최대값을 이용하는 액상화 상세예측의 경우, 지진응답해석의 지반 내 지진증폭현상을 단순히 최대가속도만으로 표현함으로써 불규칙한 가속도가 연속재하되는 지진특성을 충분히 반영하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 연구결과, 제안된 평가법은 실내진동시험의 수행 및 실지진 시간이력 전부에 대한 고려를 포함하고 있으므로 이를 기초로 한 액상화 평가가 신뢰성이 높다고 판단된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among the levels of total serum cholesterol level, blood pressure, body mass index, and lifestyle. Method: This study was designed as a descriptive correlation study. Subjects were 972 adults participated voluntarily living in GyeongNam. The height, weight, blood pressure and fasting serum cholesterol were measured. Body mass index was caculated. Information on general characteristics (age, gender, education, job, family history) and life style(cigarette, alchol, sleeping time, regular exercise, meal pattern, peppery, salty, sweetness, vegetable diet, meat diet) were collected using a questionnaire by interviewing method. Result: The mean value of total serum cholesterol was $197{\pm}36.4mg/dl$(mean; $189{\pm}36.7mg/dl$, women; $202{\pm}35.1mg/dl$). By simple analysis, the serum total cholesterol according to general characteristics features was statistically significant in age(F= 6.765, p=000) and gender (t=5.372, p=.000). Total serum cholesterol levels increased significantly with increasing BMI. The serum total cholesterol according to life style features was statistically significant in cigarette(${\chi}^2=12.12$, p=.016), exercise(${\chi}^2=6.335$, p=.042), salty taste(${\chi}^2=18.801$, p=016), vegetable diet (${\chi}^2=19.488$, p=012). The most affecting factor which total serum cholesterol factor was BMI(${\beta}=.151$, p=.000). Conclusion: The significant risk factors relating to serum total cholesterol were age, gender, BMI, smoking, and exercise. Therefore, for the reduction of serum total cholesterol level, it is recommended that nursing intervention for the prevention of obesity, change of life style should be implemented.

본 연구에서는 터널 내 통과차량에 의하여 발생하는 풍하중으로 인한 터널라이닝의 동적거동에 대하여 분석하였다. 차량으로 인한 풍하중은 목표지점을 지나가는 차량에 대하여 압력과 팽창을 나타내는 시간함수를 이용하여 모형화 하였으며, 파형강판으로 이루어진 터널라이닝은 3차원 쉘 요소를 사용하였다. 쉘 요소로 모델링된 3차원 터널라이닝의 동적해석은 많은 양의 메모리와 시간이 요구되지만 파형강판의 동적특성을 반영하는 한편 최대한 단순화된 모형을 제시하여 해석에 이용하였다. 터널라이닝의 변위를 분석하기 위해 다양한 차량 주행 조건 및 맞바람 풍속이 고려되었다. 차량과 풍속이 증가하면 응답 또한 증가하였으며, 최대변위는 차량이 120km/h로 교차주행 시 25mm로 나타났다. 연속주행 시 응답에 미치는 영향은 단독주행 응답보다 2.5% 이내로 크지 않게 나타났다. 따라서 숏크리트가 적용되지 않는 독립구조체 터널라이닝의 경우동적거동은 반드시 고려해야하는 것으로 판단된다.
