Previous studies on the numerical simulation at the tidal reach of Han River tend to restrict downstream boundary as Jeon-ryu station due to difficulties in gaining cross section data and tidal elevation values at Yu-do. But, in this study, geometries beyond the confluence of Gok-reung stream and Im-jin River are constructed based on the numerical sea map; tidal elevation at the downstream boundary, Yu-do is estimated by harmonic analysis of In-cheon tide gage station so that hydrodynamic and diffusion behavior have been analyzed. The domain ranging from Shin-gok submerged weir to Yu-do is selected (which is 36.8 km in length). RMA-2 and RAM4 developed by Il Won Seo (2008) are applied to simulate flow and diffusion behavior, respectively. Numerical results of flow characteristic are compared with the measured data at Jeon-ryu station. Simulation is carried out from June 23 to 25 in 2006 on the ground that hydrologic data is satisfactory and tidal difference is huge during that period. The result shows that reverse flow occurs 5 times according to the tidal elevation at Yu-do and the maximum reverse flow is observed up to Jang-hang IC, which is 32.9 km in length. Also analysis is focused on the process of generation and disappearance of reverse flow, the distribution of water surface elevation and velocity along the maximum velocity line, and the transport of nonconservative pollutant. Pollutant injected from Gul-po stream spreads widely across the river; however, the size of BOD cloud entering from Gok-reung stream is relatively small because water depth at the mid and left side becomes deeper and maximum velocity occurs along the right bank so that transverse mixing is completed quickly. Finally, mixing characteristic of horizontal salinity distribution is obtained by estimating the salinity input with analytical solution of 1D advection-dispersion equation.

Background: Estimation of the probability of a patient having an acute pulmonary embolism (PE) for patients with a suspected PE are well established in North America and Europe. However, an assessment of the prediction rules for a PE has not been clearly defined in Korea. The aim of this study is to assess the prediction rules for patients with a suspected PE in Korea. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 210 inpatients or patients that visited the emergency ward with a suspected PE where computed tomography pulmonary angiography was performed at a single institution between January 2005 and March 2007. Simplified Wells rules and revised Geneva rules were used to estimate the clinical probability of a PE based on information from medical records. Results: Of the 210 patients with a suspected PE, 49 (19.5%) patients had an actual diagnosis of a PE. The proportion of patients classified by Wells rules and the Geneva rules had a low probability of 1% and 21%, an intermediate probability of 62.5% and 76.2%, and a high probability of 33.8% and 2.8%, respectively. The prevalence of PE patients with a low, intermediate and high probability categorized by the Wells rules and Geneva rules was 100% and 4.5% in the low range, 18.2% and 22.5% in the intermediate range, and 19.7% and 50% in the high range, respectively. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the revised Geneva rules had a higher accuracy than the Wells rules in terms of detecting PE. Concordance between the two prediction rules was poor ($\kappa$ coefficient=0.06). Conclusion: In the present study, the two prediction rules had a different predictive accuracy for pulmonary embolisms. Applying the revised Geneva rules to inpatients and emergency ward patients suspected of having PE may allow a more effective diagnostic process than the use of the Wells rules.

공학 분야에 있어서 수치 해석적 연구가 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 경제적 측면을 비롯한 다양한 측면에 있어서 모의의 간편성으로 인해 하천에서의 수리학적 거동모의에 수치해석 모의 분석법이 쓰이고 있는데 모의결과의 비교 및 검증을 위해서는 현장 실험 혹은 모형실험이 선행되어야만 한다. 본 연구에서는 강재로 제작된 S자 형태의 만곡부를 두 개 갖고 있는 사행수로 실험 장치를 제작하여 두 가지 유량조건 (30, 60 ${\ell}$/sec.)과 두 가지 하류단 수위조건 (30, 40 cm)에 대하여 수평 2차원 유속분포 자료를 이용하였다. 유속장의 자료는 Sontek사에의 3차원 micro-ADV(Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter)를 이용하여 측정하였다. 주 흐름은 직선구간에서는 중앙에서 최대 유속을 나타내며, 좌우대칭적인 유속분포의 모습을 보이고, 만곡부에서는 수로안쪽을 따라 최대유속이 발생하였다. 이는 만곡부의 정점부분에서의 이차류 발생 및 소멸에 의한 연직방향 유속분포를 통해 발생되는 현상이라 사료된다. 또한 본 연구에서는 2차원 하천해석 상용프로그램인 RAMS (베타버젼)와 SMS를 이용하여 흐름해석을 수행하였다. 실험 자료와의 비교를 통하여 두 가지 상용프로그램의 경우 모두 다소 과대 산정되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 만곡부와 직선부의 유속분포에 대한 모의결과는 RAMS (RAM2)의 결과가 보다 실험결과와 잘 일치하는 것으로 분석되었다. 위와 같은 유속분포의 분석을 통하여 각각의 상용소프트웨어의 적용성을 비교해 보았으며 향후 오염물질 거동해석 모형을 실험수로에 적용하여 그 결과를 비교할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

전 지구적 기후변화는 대기-해양의 물리 특성을 변화시켜, 연안 및 하구의 수온상승과 염도 변화의 주요 원인이 되며, 생태 환경 및 다양한 경제 사회 문제를 야기 시킬 수 있다. 이러한 변화를 예측하고 영향을 최소화 하기위해서는 연안의 물리 특성을 세밀하고 정확하게 예측해야 한다. 그러나, 기후변화의 영향을 고려한 대기-해양 전 지구모델의 기후변화 시나리오는 우리나라와 같이 작고 복잡한 연안 지형을 가진 지역의 미래 환경 변화 예측에 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 저해상도 정규격자 모형인 RIAMOM(RIAM Ocean Model)의 결과를 이용하여 비정규격자 모형인 FVCOM(Finite Volume Coastal Ocean Model)으로 울산만의 미래 물리 특성 변화를 상세 예측하였다. 기후변화로 인한 대기-해양의 물리 특성 변화를 고려하여 한국 주변해 및 연안을 대상으로 모의한 RIAMOM의 결과를, 본 연구의 대상 지역인 울산만 FVCOM 모델 경계에 초기 값과 시계열 자료로 사용하였다. FVCOM 모의 결과를 RIAMOM 자료와 비교 했을 때, 초기 표층 염분과 수온이 각각 0.4%, 2%의 오차를 보였다. 조위는 개방경계에서 01~0.4% 정도의 오차가 나타나, 다운스케일링(downscaling) 기법을 통한 수치 모의 결과가 초기 수온과 염분 및 조위 특성을 잘 재현하는 것으로 나타났다. 2001년(현 상태), 2050년(미래), 해수면 상승의 영향을 고려한 2050년에 대하여 모의 한 결과. 정규격자 모형인 RIAMOM에서 나타나지 않았던 기후변화로 인한 표층 염분과 수온의 상세한 변화가 울산만의 태화강 하구에서 나타났고, 염수쐐기의 길이 또한 상류쪽으로 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 다운스케일링을 통한 대상 지역의 상세 모델을 통해 기존의 예측 모델에서도출할 수 없던 결과를 나타낸 바, 향후 연구를 통해 지역의 장기 상세 환경 변화 예측에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상한다.

The purpose of this study is to propose prototypical plans for a dwelling unit applying the concepts of 'open housing' and 'aging in place' for senior citizens living in cities focusing on specific life patterns with chronic disease. Especially, a unit was designed for diabetes patients because diabetes, a representative disease of elderly people, often accompanies complications such as arthritis and Alzheimer disease. A unit design suitable for the convenient life of the elderly people with diabetes will provide a guideline for the similar unit designs of the senior citizens with other diseases. In this study, three types of unit plan are proposed. A-type plan is for type-1 diabetes patients, B-type alt.1 for the independent seniors of type-2 diabetes patients, and B-type alt.2 for the dependant seniors of type-2 diabetes patients. And a support design for a unit plan with the exclusive area of $60\;m^2$ is proposed. The same support design is used for all three unit types. Although the locations of bathroom and storage room are fixed and the location of the kitchen is changeable only in wet-zone. In conclusion, senior residents with diabetes can choose one of three unit types before occupation and the chosen unit type can be renovated by replacing infill systems as the health condition or life style changes.

This study presents the analysis of flow and bed change characteristics considering bed protection work built on the immediate downstream of weir to protect river bed from scouring. The study area is 37km reach from Hyunpoong station to Masuwon station including Hapcheon- Changryoung multi-function weir in the Nakdong river. CCHE2D model is calibrated and validated for evaluating the flow and bed change characteristics during Typhoon Kompasu in 2010. Three simulation conditions are set up: Case 1 is a natural channel without installation of weir. Case 2 involves an installation of weir in the natural channel. Case 3 involves an installation of weir with bed protection in the natural channel. Flood frequency (50, 100 and 200yr) is applied to each scenario to analyze the effects of bed protection work. While the sediment rate is increased in the downstream of fixed gate and sluice-type gate, river bed scouring rate is increased in the downstream of lift-type gate in Case 2 comparing with the results of Case 1. The river bed scouring is not occurred in the immediate downstream of weir (~30m) due to the effect of bed protection, but larger amount of sediment is occurred in the downstream of weir (60m~) which the bed protection is not installed comparing with the results Case 1. Through the results of simulation considering bed protection work, this study would be helpful to expect bed change and operate the weir as well as manage.

TThis study explored the requirement of fabric sensor that can measure the motion of the joint effectively by measuring and analyzing the variation in electric resistance of a sensor in accordance with bending and stretching motion of the arm by the implementation of a motion sensor utilizing conductive fabric. For this purpose, on both sides of two kinds of knitted fabric, namely 'L' fabric and 'W' fabric Single Wall Carbon Nano-Tube(SWCNT) was coated, fabric sensor was developed by finishing them in a variety of ways, and the sensor was attached to the arm band. The fabric sensor consisted of total 48 cases, namely background fabric for coating, the method of sensor attachment, the number of layer of sensors, the length of sensor, and the width of sensor. The performance of fabric motion sensors in terms of a dummy arm, that is, a Con-Trex MJ with 48 arm bands around it was evaluated. For each arm band, a total of 48, fastened around the dummy arm, it was adjusted to repeat the bending and stretching at the frequency : 0.5Hz, ROM : $20^{\circ}{\sim}120^{\circ}$, the voltage was recorded for each case after conducting three sets of repeat measurement for a total of 48 cases. As a result of the experiment, and as a consequences of the evaluation and analysis of the voltage based on the uniformity of the base line of the peak-to-peak voltage(Vp-p), the uniformity of Vp-p within the same set, and the uniformity of the Vp-p among three sets, the fabric sensors that have been configured in SWCNT coated 'L' fabric / welding / two layers / $50{\times}5mm$, $50{\times}10mm$, $100{\times}10mm$, and SWCNT coated 'W' fabric / welding / two layers / $50{\times}10mm$ exhibited the most uniform and stable signal value within 5% of the total variation rate. Through all these results of the experiment, it was confirmed that SWCNT coated fabric was suitable for a sensor that can measure the human limb operation when it was implemented as a fabric sensor in a variety of forms, and the optimal sensor types were identified.

This study examine the firms fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalents under financial distress in order to avoid huge adjustment costs that can be brought after R&D expenditures cut-down. Other study divided the firms' financial condition by only firms' year. This study identifies the firms' financial condition not only by a firm's year but also by firm size and Altman's Z-Score and K-Score. The results show that there are statistically negative relationship between R&D expenditures and cash and cash equivalents when firms are under financial distress. The results are same regardless of criteria of classification of firms' financial condition, which is consistent to the hypothesis. Young and small firms and firms with moderate possibility of bankruptcy fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalent compared to the other firms. We can find the new evidence when we classify the firm by Z-Score and K-Score of Altman. The firms with high possibility of bankruptcy can not fund for R&D activities from cash, but only the firms with moderate possibility of bankruptcy fund R&D expenditures through cash and cash equivalent in the condition of financial distress. The evidence suggests that firms fund R&D expenditures by cash and cash equivalent when they are under financial distress. Findings provide an implication on the management of R&D expenditures and liquidity in the firms.
