Models of upward flame spread have been attempted in the past, but in the current work an emphasis has been placed on developing a practical model that will be useful across a broad range of materials. Some of the important aspects of the model we: the addition of external radiation to simulate a wall that is a part of an enclosure fire and has flaming walls radiating to it, the use of a correlation for flame heat feedback distribution to the sample surface based on data available in the literature, and the use of an experimentally measured mass loss rate for the sample material, In this paper, the development of the numerical model is presented along with predictions of flame spread for three materials: hardboard, a relatively homogeneous wood-based material; plywood, which is made of laminated wood bonded by adhesives; and a composite material made of fiberglass matrix embedded in epoxy. Predictions are compared with measured data at several levels of external radiation for each material. For the materials tested, the model correctly predicts trends and does a reasonable job predicting flame heights. The need for thermal property data for practical materials, which would be appropriate for flame spread models, is indicated by this work.

Self-encoded multiple access (SEMA) is a unique realization of random spread spectrum. As the term implies, the spreading code is obtained from the random digital information source instead of the traditional pseudo noise (PN) code generators. The time-varying random codes can provide additional security in wireless communications. Multi-rate transmissions or multi-level grade of services are also easily implementable in SEMA. In this paper, we analyze the performance of SEMA in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels and Rayleigh fading channels. Differential encoding eliminates the BER effect of error propagations due to receiver detection errors. The performance of SEMA approaches the random spread spectrum discussed in literature at high signal to noise ratios. For performance improvement, we employ multiuser detection and Turbo coding. We consider a downlink synchronous system such as base station to mobile communication though the analysis can be extended to uplink communications.

The rise of newer coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) variants has brought a challenge to ending the spread of COVID-19. The variants have a different fatality, morbidity, and transmission rates and affect vaccine efficacy differently. Therefore, the impact of each new variant on the spread of COVID-19 is of interest to governments and scientists. Here, we proposed mathematical SEIQRDVP and SEIQRDV3P models to predict the impact of the Omicron variant on the spread of the COVID-19 situation in South Korea. SEIQEDVP considers one vaccine level at a time while SEIQRDV3P considers three vaccination levels (only one dose received, full doses received, and full doses + booster shots received) simultaneously. The omicron variant's effect was contemplated as a weighted sum of the delta and omicron variants' transmission rate and tuned using a hyperparameter k. Our models' performances were compared with common models like SEIR, SEIQR, and SEIQRDVUP using the root mean square error (RMSE). SEIQRDV3P performed better than the SEIQRDVP model. Without consideration of the variant effect, we don't see a rapid rise in COVID-19 cases and high RMSE values. But, with consideration of the omicron variant, we predicted a continuous rapid rise in COVID-19 cases until maybe herd immunity is developed in the population. Also, the RMSE value for the SEIQRDV3P model decreased by 27.4%. Therefore, modeling the impact of any new risen variant is crucial in determining the trajectory of the spread of COVID-19 and determining policies to be implemented.

Considering heat insulation and beautiful sight of construction, making use of exterior panels is increasing. Recently the exterior panels now are weak very much, and so in consequence of the weakness fire spreads rapidly. Compared with internal fire, external vertical fire spread rate goes rapidly and it is extensive in spread range, therefore it is dangerous very much. Accordingly, under present condition of poor standard of exterior panels, it is required to take measure to meet the appropriate situation. In this study, by making use of FDS(Fire Dynamic Simulation) program about external vertical fire of high rise building, fire behavior is searched by computer. It is important that realizing by computer fire modeling about external vertical fire must be included certainly in procedure of fire performance design in the future. In modeling program, FDS version 5 is available, and aluminium composite panel is applied in external panels. In this study, for realizing of actual fire condition, FDS is applied by details of fire scenarios considering influence of wind.

The prognosis of supraglottic cancer is worse than that of glottic cancer. Supraglottic cancers by subsites have different microenvironment of cancer cells, locoregional spread patterns. Therefore we presume that high therapeutic efficacy, while preserving the organ, can be obtained when supraglottic cancer is treated effectively according to its biological behaviors. For the purpose of determination of clinical characteristics and causes of treatment failures by subsites of supraglottis, the authors analyzed 24 cases(stage III 14 cases, stage IV 10 cases) of supraglottic cancer which were managed mainly by surgery in our institute. The results were as follows; 1) The suprahyoid group had worse pathologic grades, more frequent spread to hypopharynx, more freguent recurrence at primary site, and better three-year survival rate than the infrahyoid group. 2) The infrahyoid group had more frequent spread to glottis, understaging, recurrence at cervical nodes than the suprahyoid group. 3) There was no differences in nodal metastasis by sub sites. These results suggest that the suprahyoid group may have more aggressive spread pattern but better prognosis than the infrahyoid group.

다양한 분야에서 IT와 BT의 융합이 논의되고 있으며 의료 산업에서 캡슐 내시경의 개발은 인체를 매개로 무선 통신을 한다는 점에서 그 예라 할 수 있을 것이다. 하지만 인체 채널에서의 통신은 송신 전력의 제한이 엄격할 수 밖에 없으며, 아직 채널 특성에 대한 활발한 연구도 이루어지지 않아서 그 채널을 추정하기가 매우 어렵다. 따라서 정확한 채널 추정이 필요한 일반적인 부호화 / 복호화 기법을 사용할 수 없으며, 기존 통신망에서 유입되는 간섭 신호에 취약할 수 밖에 없다. 본 논문에서는 채널 추정이 필요 없으면서도, 주위 간섭 신호의 영향에 강인한 Chirp Spread Spectrum Differential Binary Phase Shift Keying(CSS-DBPSK) 기법을 소개하고, Chirp Spread Spectrum On-Off Keying (CSS-OOK) 기법을 제안한다. CSS-DBPSK, CSS-OOK를 이용하면 일반 OOK에 비하여 target BER (Bit Error Rate) 10-5)을 위한 Eb/N0을 약 5dB, 2dB 낮출 수 있으며 간섭 신호에 대한 성능 저하도 막을 수 있다.

연구목적: 본 연구는 도심지 인접에서 발생하는 산불의 불티로 인한 건축물 외장재 및 지붕재의 화재확산 위험성 평가를 목적으로 한다. 연구방법: 이러한 연구목적을 달성하기 위해서 건축물의 외장재와 지붕재로 사용되는 건축자재를 선별하여 착화시간, 총 방출열량, 열방출률을 확인하고 산불 불티 비화 시스템을 구축하여 산불 불티로 인한 각각의 재료에 대한 화재 확산 가능성을 확인하였다. 연구결과: 콘칼로리미터 실험결과 지붕재는 철판이 외부에 노출된 외장재에 비해 복사열로 인한 착화시간이 비슷하거나 빨랐으며 외장재보다 높은 열방출률과 총 방출열량을 나타냈으며, 불티 비화 실험에서 외장재는 하부에 가연물이 착화함에 따라 영향을 받았으나 제한된 가연물의 양으로 쉽게 확산하지 않고 내부에서 탄화흔이 나타난 것을 확인할 수 있었으나 지붕재의 경우 사용 재료에 따라 불티로 인한 가연물 착화로 쉽게 녹고 주변으로의 확산에 기여하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론: 콘칼로리미터 실험 방법은 복사열로 건축자재의 연소 특성을 파악하는데 유용한 것으로 나타났으나 산불에서 불티로 인한 화재확산은 주변 가연물의 착화로 직접 화염에 영향을 받아 콘칼로리미터 방법과 직접적인 연관성을 찾는 것은 어려움이 있고 외장재에 비해 지붕재가 불티로 인한 화재 확산에 더 취약할 수 있는 것으로 판단된다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of chestnut powder on antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of cookies. Cookies were prepared using different amounts of chestnut powder (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% to the flour quantity). The antioxidant activity was estimated by measuring DPPH free radical scavenging activity and the total phenolic content in chestnut powder and cookies. In addition, the quality characteristics of the chestnut cookies were estimated based on: the bulk density and pH of the dough, spread factor, loss rate, leavening rate, color, texture profile analysis, and sensory evaluations. The spread ratio, a values, total polyphenol contents, and DPPH free radical scavenging activity of cookies significantly increased with increasing chestnut powder (p<0.001), while the leavening rate, L values, b values and hardness of the cookies significantly decreased with increasing chestnut powder (p<0.05). The sensory evaluation scores for the 15% chestnut powder cookie groups ranked significantly higher (p<0.05) than the other groups in overall preference, appearance, taste, color, chestnut taste, oily flavor, and aftertaste. Taken together, the results of this study suggest that chestnut powder is a good ingredient for increasing the consumer acceptability and functionality of cookies.

본 논문에서는 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산에 방화막 및 강제 배연구가 미치는 영향에 대하여 Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS)를 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. 폭 31 m, 깊이 34 m, 높이 32 m의 무대에 대하여, 10 MW의 열방출률과 화재성장속도가 fast인 화재를 적용하였다. 강제 배출량은 화재안전기준과 기존 연구를 토대로 설정하였으며, 방화막과 프로시니움 (Proscenium) 벽 사이 간격은 0 m, 0.5 m인 경우를 대상으로 하였다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽이 완벽하게 밀착되어 있는 경우, 강제 배연구와는 상관없이 객석으로의 연기 확산은 일어나지 않았다. 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이의 간격이 0.5 m인 경우, 방화막이 없는 경우에 비해 무대 공간 내에서 연기층이 더욱 낮은 높이까지 하강하였으며, 이는 방화막에 의해 객석으로의 연기 확산이 방해받았기 때문이다. 한편, 동일한 방화막 조건에서, 강제 배연구가 있는 경우가 없는 경우에 비해 방화막과 프로시니움 벽 사이 간격을 통한 유출 질량유량이 작았다. 본 연구를 통하여 방화막과 강제 배연구가 공연장 무대 화재 시 객석으로의 연기 확산을 억제할 수 있는 효과적인 방법임을 확인하였다.
