The present study is concerned with the flow patterns induced by various impellers in a rectangular tank. Impellers are FBT (Flat blade turbine), PBT (Pitched blade turbine), Shroud turbine, Rushton turbine, and Helical ribbon turbine types. The solutions of flows in moving reference frames require the use of 'moving' cell zone. The moving zone approaches are based on MRF (Multiple reference frame), which is a steady-state approximation and sliding method, which is an unsteady-state approximation. Numerical results using two moving zone approaches we compared with experiments by Ranade & Joshi, which have done extensive LDA measurements of the flow generated by a standard six-bladed Rushton turbine in a cylindrical baffled vessel. In this paper, we simulated the flow patterns with above-mentioned moving zone approaches and impellers. Turbulence model used is RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model. Sliding-mesh method is more effective than MRF for simulating the rectangular tank with inlet and outlet. RNG $k-{\epsilon}$ model strongly underestimates the velocity of experimental data and velocity by Chen & Kim's model, but it seems to be correctly predicted in overall distribution.

최근 국제유가 상승과 탄소배출량 규제에 따른 친환경 선박의 개발 요구가 증대되고 있으며 이는 일반선 뿐만 아니라 어선에서도 마찬가지이다. 본 논문에서는 유류비 증가 및 어선의 노후화 등으로 인한 국내 어업 경쟁력의 약화 및 채산성 악화를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 연근해 어선용 추진기 개발을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 현재 국내 어선현황에 기초하여 대표 선종인 130톤급 예망어선을 대상선으로 선정하고 추진기의 추진성능을 이론 및 실험적으로 평가 분석하였으며, 모형 시험 및 수치 해석 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 대상선의 프로펠러는 과도한 캐비테이션이 발생되는 상태에서 매운 높은 수준의 소음과 진동이 발생하는 것으로 추측된다. 이는 어선의 추진력 감소에 따른 연료비의 증대, 캐비테이션에 의한 추진기 손상, 과도하게 발생되는 소음에 따른 어획량 감소의 주된 원인이 된다. 본 연구를 통해 일반 상선의 추진성능 평가에 적용되는 최신 기술을 어선 추진기에 적용하여 모형시험 및 이론 성능 평가 과정을 정립하였으며, 이를 통해 앞으로 어선 추진기의 성능을 상당 부분 개선할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

안정동위원소 질량분석기를 이용한 탄소와 산소의 동위원소비 측정은, 이산화탄소 표준기체의 동위원소 비에 대하여 그 상대적인 값을 측정함으로써 이루어진다. 따라서 실험실 표준기체는 ${\delta}^{13}C$와 ${\delta}^{18}O$ 값의 국제 표준물질인 PDB와 V-SMOW에 대해 보정된 이산화탄소이여야 하며, 이는 국제적 자료의 비교와 검증을 위해 필수적이다. 그러나 표준기체는 제작 기간이 길며, 가격이 비싼 단점이 있고, 장기간 사용 시 실린더 내부 압력의 변화로 동위원소의 분별이 생길 우려가 크다. 따라서 본 연구는 실험실 표준기체 관리의 효율성을 높이기 위해 장기간 안정적 보관이 가능한 고체 표준물질로부터 동위원소 분별없이 순수한 이산화탄소 기체를 추출하여, 실험실 표준기체로 사용할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문은 Coplen et al.(1983)에 의하여 제안된 방법을 기초로 한 다량의 이산화탄소 표준 기체 제작에 초점을 두었다. 이산화탄소는 탄산칼슘과 100% 순수 인산의 반응에 의해 생성되는데, 두 물질의 반응에 필요한 실험 장치 및 실험 과정을 상세히 기술하였으며, 최적의 실험 조건 결정을 위한 다양한 분석 결과를 소개하였다. 이어 생성된 이산화탄소 기체의 추출, 정제와 포집은 자체 제작된 진공관에서 이루어졌으며, 각 단계에 대한 자세한 설명이 주어진다. 이산화탄소의 ${\delta}^{13}C$와 ${\delta}^{18}O$ 측정은 서울대학교 기초과학교육연구 공동기기원에서 운영 중인 안정동위원소 질량분석기(VG Isotech, SIRA Series II)를 이용하여 이루어졌다. 탄산칼슘 고체 표준물질로부터 이산화탄소 기체 추출과 추출된 기체의 정제 포집 등 전체 분석과정의 정밀도 검증을 위해 동일한 Solenhofen-ori $CaCO_3$(< $63{\mu}m$) 고체 시료로 부터 15회에 걸쳐 표준기체를 제작하였고, 매회 100 mg $CaCO_3$을 이용하여 총 15개의 표준기체 제작이 8일에 걸쳐 이루어졌다. 이 표준기체들의 분석 표준편차($1{\sigma}$)는 ${\delta}^{13}C$의 경우 ${\pm}0.01$‰, ${\delta}^{18}O$는 ${\pm}0.05$‰로 매우 높은 정밀도를 보여주었다. 이러한 분석 정밀도는 안정동위원소 질량분석기기 자체와 같은 내부 정밀도에 상응하며, 본 연구에서 제시한 실험실 표준기체 제작방법의 높은 신뢰성과 재현성을 입증하는 결과이다. 따라서 본 연구는 표준기체 보유가 어려워 정밀, 정확한 안정동위원소 분석에 어려움이 많았던 연구 분야에 자체 표준기체 제작 기술을 제공하는데 크게 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

Breast cancer treatment-related lymphedema (BCRL) is a common comorbidity in breast cancer survivors. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is widely used to evaluate therapeutic response of patients with various medical conditions, it is not routinely used to evaluate lymphedema patients. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to identify studies on the use of MRI to evaluate therapy for BCRL. We hypothesized that MRI could provide information otherwise not possible through other examinations. On October 21, 2019, we conducted a systematic review on the PubMed/MEDLINE and Scopus databases, without time frame or language limitations, to identify studies on the use of MRI to evaluate therapy for BCRL. We excluded studies that investigated other applications of MRI, such as lymphedema diagnosis and surgical planning. Of 63 potential articles identified with the search, three case series fulfilled the eligibility criteria. In total, 53 patients with BCRL were included and quantitatively evaluated with MRI before and after manual lymphatic drainage. Authors used MRI or MR lymphagiography to investigate factors such as lymphatic vessel cross-sectional area, tissue water relaxation time (T₂), and chemical exchange saturation transfer. The only study that compared MRI measurement with standard examinations reported that MRI added information to the therapy evaluation. MRI seems to be a promising tool for quantitative measurement of therapeutic response in patients with BCRL. However, the identified studies focused on only manual lymphatic drainage and were limited by the small numbers of patients. More studies are necessary to shed light on the topic.

Purpose: To compare three, motion-resistant, T1-weighted MR sequences on the hepatobiliary phase for gadoxetic acid-enhanced MR imaging of the liver. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 79 patients underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced, 3T liver MR imaging. Fifty-nine were examined using a standard protocol, and 20 were examined using a motion-resistant protocol. During the hepatocyte-specific phase, three MR sequences were acquired: 1) gradient recalled echo (GRE) with controlled aliasing in parallel imaging results in higher acceleration (CAIPIRINHA); 2) radial GRE with the interleaved angle-bisection scheme (ILAB); and 3) radial GRE with golden-angle scheme (GA). Two readers independently assessed images with motion artifacts, streaking artifacts, liver-edge sharpness, hepatic vessel clarity, lesion conspicuity, and overall image quality, using a 5-point scale. The images were assessed by measurement of liver signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and tumor-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). The results were compared, using repeated post-hoc, paired t-tests with Bonferroni correction and the Wilcoxon signed rank test with Bonferroni correction. Results: In the qualitative analysis of cooperative patients, the results for CAIPIRINHA had significantly higher ratings for streak artifacts, liver-edge sharpness, hepatic vessel clarity, and overall image quality as compared to, radial GRE, (P < 0.016). In the imaging of uncooperative patients, higher scores were recorded for ILAB and GA with respect to all of the qualitative assessments, except for streak artifact, compared with CAIPIRINHA (P < 0.016). However, no significant differences were found between ILAB and GA. For quantitative analysis in uncooperative patients, the mean liver SNR and lesion-to-liver CNR with radial GRE were significantly higher than those of CAIPIRINHA (P < 0.016). Conclusion: In uncooperative patients, the use of the radial GRE sequence can improve the image quality compared to GRE imaging with CAIPIRINHA, despite the data acquisition methods used. The GRE imaging with CAIPIRINHA is applicable for patients without breath-holding difficulties.

This is the final one of the two companion papers dealing with accuracy of accumulated fatigue damage estimation under wide band process. It is stated that four kinds of wide band models exist: typed of equivalent stress, combined PDF, correction factor, and damage combination. For the idealized ESDs from full scale measurement data on an 8100TEU container vessel, fatigue damages are compared for a narrow band prediction model based on Rayleigh PDF and five wide band fatigue prediction models of Dirlik, Wirsching-Light, Jiao-Moan, Benasciutti and DNV. DNV model consistently overestimates fatigue damages regardless of variation of ESDs. Predictions by Jiao-Moan model, which is understood as standard method for design of offshore platforms, are also in conservative side. Best accuracy is found from the results by Dirlik and Benasciutti models, but Benasciutti model is preferred since it can easily combined with narrow band fatigue damage based on Rayleigh PDF.

Currently, we are living in the era of the 4th industrial revolution. In the field of shipping industry, the MASS is a revolutionary game changer in the making arising out of such an industrial and technical innovation in the pursuit of radically challenging the pre-existing system of a human-operated vessel. Given this trend, the entire maritime regulatory regime, which has been designed by, and intertwined with, human seaworthiness, abruptly faces the most unprecedented normative confrontations now and increasingly in the coming days. As the constitution of ocean, UNCLOS, provides, every flag state is obliged to effectively exercise its jurisdiction to secure technical and human seaworthiness. Moreover, the coastal state may institute protective proceedings against vessels in respect of any violations of its laws to protect its marine environment in maritime zones of the coastal state. Further, UNCLOS acknowledges that the port state's authority extends to take administrative measures to prevent sub-standard ships from sailing within the ports or offshore-terminals of the state. These three jurisdictional functions will be required to more closely interface with each other than ever over the legal and political implications created by MASS. Although states' jurisdictional nuances are significant in this present world tilting back to protectionism, there are few articles to present jurisdictional issues of states and conceivable normative discourse with regard to MASS. This articles visits potential jurisdictional conflicts underlying MASS and tries to strike balance between contradictory interpretive approaches under UNCLOS while it is undeniable that this doctrinal research tends to strive to find justifications within the current framework of international law.
