It has become important to evaluate the qualitive reliability and condition assessment of existing structural systems in order to establish a rational program for repair and maintenance. Since most of if existing structural system may suffer from defect corrosion and damage, it is necessary to account for their effects in fuzzy reliability analysis, In this paper, an attempt is made to develope a reliability analysis for damaged structural systems using failure possibility theory. Damage state is specified in terms of linguistic valiables using natural language information and numerical information, which are defined by fuzzy sets. Using a subjective condition index of failure possibility and information of the damage state is introduced into the calculation of failure probability. The subjective condition index of quantitative and qualitative analysis method is newly proposed based on the fuzzy set operations, namely logical product, drastic product, logical sum and drastic sum

Study on the inelastic response of bare and masonry infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames repaired using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) and Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRP) subjected to quasi- static loading is presented in the work. The hysteresis behaviour, stiffness retention, energy dissipation and damage index are the parameters employed to analyze the efficacy of FRP strengthening of bare and brick in-filled RC frames. It is observed that there is a significant improvement in load carrying capacity of brick infilled frame over bare RC frame. Also FRP strengthened brick infilled frame performs much better than FRP repaired bare frame under quasi static loading. Repair and retrofitting of brick infilled RC frame shows an improved load carrying and damage tolerance capacity than control frame.

With increasing traffic volumes and rising vehicle traffic, especially in cities, the number of pedestrian bridges has also increased significantly. Like all other structures, pedestrian bridges also suffer damage. In order to increase the safety of pedestrians, it is necessary to identify existing damage and to repair them to ensure the safety of the bridge structures. Owing to the shortcomings of local methods in identifying damage and in order to enhance the reliability of detection and identification of structural faults, signal methods have seen significant development in recent years. In this research, a new methodology, based on cone-shaped kernel distribution with a new damage index, has been used for damage detection in pedestrian truss bridges. To evaluate the proposed method, the numerical models of the Warren Type steel truss and the Arregar steel footbridge were used. Based on the results, the proposed method and damage index identified the damage and determined its location with a high degree of precision. Given the ease of use, the proposed method can be used to identify faults in pedestrian bridges.

To predict the postoperative hemodynamic status of right ventricle preoperatively, a retrospective analysis was undertaken to determine the influence of pulmonary artery size on postoperative right ventricular pressure in 32 consecutive patients with tetralogy of Fallot who underwent total correction between July, 1987 to June, 1988 at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital. We have related the ratio of the postrepair peak systolic pressure in the right ventricle and the systemic systolic arterial pressure[PRV/Ao] to the preoperative cineangiographic measurement of pulmonary arterial tree, expressed as pulmonary artery index[PAI], the ratio of diameter of the right pulmonary artery to diameter of ascending aorta[r.PA/A.Ao], the ratio of right and left pulmonary artery to diameter of descending aorta[r.I.PA/D.Ao] There was tendency that the postrepair PRV/Ao seems to be related to the preoperative diameter of right and left pulmonary artery, but there were no statistically significant correlation with PAI, r.PA/A.Ao, r.l.PA/D. Ao to the ratio of the postoperative peak systolic right ventricular pressure and systemic systolic arterial pressure[PRV/Ao]. There was tendency to decrease the postoperative right ventricular pressure[PRV/Ao] about 11.2%[P < 0.025] within several hours than immediately after repair, but after then, there was no change of right ventricular pressure[PRV/Ao] significantly. There was good correlation of pressure change between the immediate and late postrepair right ventricular pressure[48 hour], and the derived linear regression line was; y=0.68534 0.1994[r=0.57294, P < 0.001]. There was no operative death due to residual high right ventricular pressure[PRV/Ao >0.75] related to hypoplastic pulmonary arterial development, thus we expect, for symptomatic patients even infants, that complete repair can be attempted when the pulmonary artery index[PAI] is over 108mm2/BSA, RPA/AAo is over 0.35, RPA LPA/D. Ao is over 1.36.

Purpose: In the correction of cleft lip, there have been various methods to minimize recurrence of the nasal deformity after primary nasal surgery. After cheiloplasty and primary nasal surgery, we tried to elongate the columella of the cleft side, to stretch the vestibular lining of cleft side, and to elevate the alar cartilage of the cleft side with a molding prong. Methods: We had fifteen cleft lip patients; 12 unilateral cases(6.3-8.2 months), and 3 bilateral cases(3 - 7.5 months). Immediately after primary repair of the cleft lip, the toboggan shaped molding prong was located to deep inside of vestibular web of the cleft side. It was persistently suspended by a silicone tube which was connected to the prong and the frontal scalp. The results were analyzed with $Photoshop^{(R)}$ photogrammetrically for 6 - 48 months with on average of 20.6 months. We measured the proportion index of columellar length-interalar distance for three times(preoperation, immediate postoperation, and postoperation) on the nasal base views. Results: In unilateral, the index had a significant increase statistically between preoperation(10.73) and immediate postoperation(23.96). It is supposed that columellar length was reconstructed to 105.80% of normal side. But, it was decreased to maintain 87.7% of normal side in postoperation(20.54). The results were similar in bilateral. The linear scars by suture penetrating nose skin were not discernable. Conclusion: In summary, placement of the molding prong could elongate the reconstructed columella with some relapse postoperatively.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of scapular dynamic taping on pain, disability, upper body posture, and range of motion (ROM) in the postoperative shoulder. METHODS: Twenty-two patients who underwent acromioplasty and rotator cuff repair surgery volunteered for this study. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG, n=11) and a control group (CG, n=11). For the EG, exercise therapy, manual therapy, and scapular dynamic taping were applied for 6 weeks; for the CG, only exercise therapy and manual therapy were applied for 6 weeks. Shoulder pain, disability, upper body posture, and ROM were evaluated at baseline, after 3 weeks of intervention, and after 6 weeks of intervention. Assessment tools included quadruple visual analog scale (QVAS) for level of pain; shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) for functional disability level; forward head angle (FHA), forward shoulder angle (FSA), and pectoralis minor index (PMI) for upper body posture; and ROM testing. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the EG and CG in SPADI total scores; internal rotation and external rotation ROM of the glenohumeral joint ; FSA ; and PMI. All groups showed statistically significant improvement in QVAS; SPADI; flexion; abduction; external rotation and internal rotation ROM of the glenohumeral joint; FSA; and PMI. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that, for patients who have undergone acromioplasty and rotator cuff repair surgery, the addition of scapular dynamic taping during therapy is effective for improvement of shoulder disability level, ROM, and upper body posture.

Safety diagnosis of various structural components and facilities is indispensable for preventing catastrophic failure of material by time-dependent and environment accelerating degradation. Also, this diagnosis of operating components should be done periodically for safe maintenance and economical repair. However, conventional standard methods for mechanical properties have the problems of bulky specimen, destructive procedure and complex procedure of specimen sampling. So, a non-destructive and simple mechanical testing method using small specimen is needed. Therefore, an advanced indentation technique was developed as a potential method for non-destructive testing of in-field structures. This technique measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation such as yield strength, tensile strength and work-hardening index. In this paper, we characterized the tensile properties including yield and tensile strengths of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels in petro-chemical and thermo-electrical plants. And also, the effects of hydrogen-assisted degradation of the V-modified Cr-Mo steels were analyzed in terms of work-hardening index and yield ratio.

오늘날 서비스기업에서는 다양한 방법을 통하여 고객 만족을 개선하려고 노력하고 있지만 큰 실효성을 보여주고 있지 않다. 본 연구는 품질차원의 이원적 측면을 바탕으로 하여 고객접촉정도에 따른 4가지 산업군을 연구대상(호텔 수리 교육 의료서비스)으로 선정하여 산업별로 품질의 이원적 측면을 비교 측정한 후, 이에 대한 개선 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 첫째, Schmenner의 서비스 프로세스 매트릭스를 기준으로 고객접촉정도에 따라 서비스산업을 선정하고 SERVQUAL을 이용하여 고객들이 원하는 요인에 대해 알아보고 Kano모형을 적용해 이를 서비스품질의 유형으로 구분하고, 둘째, Timko의 고객만족계수와 잠재적 고객만족 개선지수(PCSI Index)를 이용하여 각 산업별 우선고려사항을 도출하고 이를 비교하여 고객만족을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시하는 것이다. 본 연구의 결과, 우선 첫째, 4가지 서비스산업에서 공통적으로 '현대적 외관/시설'이 모두 매력적 품질로 분류되었으며 고객만족계수 역시 모두 높게 나타났다. 이는 서비스산업에서 유형성 측면이 고객들의 서비스 품질 평가기준에서 매우 높은 중요도를 갖고 있다는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. 둘째, 수리서비스를 제외한 3가지 서비스산업에서는 고객의 입장을 이해하고 이를 해결하고자 하는 유연성을 갖는 공감성 측면의 개선으로 인하여 고객만족도를 향상 시킬 수 있다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 셋째, 이 4가지 서비스산업에서 공통적인 부분은 모두 공감성 측면에 대하여 매력적 품질속성으로 분류가 되었지만 현재의 만족도는 고객의 기대수준에 미치지 못하였기에 본 공감성 측면에 대한 개선이 우선적으로 이루어져야 한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Tetralogy of Fallot was repaired by a transatrial-transpulmonary approach in 91 of 250 patients treated surgically [including redo operations] between April 1986 and December 1989. Their age ranged from 6 months to 14 years [mean 39.7 months]. Associated cardiovascular anomalies were right aortic arch [n=22], ASD [n=12], PDA [n=5], persistent left SVC [n=5], and others [n=6]. PA index was measured pre-operatively since 1987 to estimate pulmonary artery size and safe total correction[mean 289$\pm$110mm2/BSA]. Eight patients received previous shunt take down procedure concomitantly. Pulmonary arteriotomy was extended through small pulmonary annulus to a minimal distance upon the right ventricular infundibulum and transannular patch was applied in 38 patients [41.3%], in 31 of them monocuspid patch was utilized. pRV/LV was measured at operation room in 77 patients [mean 0.58$\pm$0.36]. Operative mortality was 6.6% [6/91]. The causes of death were low cardiac output [n=5], arrhythmia[n=1] and respiratory failure [n=1]. At follow-up between 12 months and 57 months [mean 30.8 months] most patients were in New York Heart Association class I without cardiac medication. There was no late death, but reoperations were required in 3 patients to relieve residual right ventricular outflow obstruction. Thus successful repair of tetralogy of Fallot can be accomplished in most patients including infants by transatrial-transpulmonary approach and the better result can be anticipated with respect to postoperative right ventricular function and arrhythmia than the conventional transventricular approach.
