Evidence of liquefaction during the 2017 Pohang earthquake has highlighted the urgent need to evaluate the current seismic design standard for liquefaction in Korea, particularly the liquefaction triggering standard. With the simplified method, which is the most popular method for evaluating liquefaction triggering, the factor of safety for liquefaction triggering is calculated via the cyclic stress ratio (CSR) and the cyclic resistance ratio (CRR). The parameters in the CSR and CRR have undergone changes over time based on new research findings and lessons learned from liquefaction case-histories. Hence, the current design standard for liquefaction triggering evaluation in Korea should also reflect these changes to achieve seismic safety during future earthquakes. In this study, liquefaction susceptibility criteria were discussed initially and this was followed by a review of the current liquefaction triggering codes/guidelines in other countries and Korea. Next, the parameters associated with the CSR such as the maximum ground acceleration, stress reduction factor, magnitude scaling factor, and overburden correction factor were discussed in detail. Then, the evaluation of the CRR using the SPT N-value and CPT qc-value was elaborated along with overburden and clean-sand correction factors. Based on this review of liquefaction triggering evaluation standards, recommendations are made for improving the current seismic design standard related to liquefaction triggering in Korea.

목적: 뇌내 정맥혈관을 평가하기 위한 조영 증강 자기공명 정맥촬영술의 arterial trigger 와 venous trigger 방법으로 시행한 영상의 차이점을 비교 분석하고자 한다. 대상과 방법: 건강검진을 목적으로 자기공명정맥촬영술을 시행한 41명의 환자들을 대상으로 해면부위의 내경 동맥에서 arterial triggering하여 6초 후에 얻은 영상 (n = 20) 과 상시상 정맥동에서 venous triggering (n = 21) 방법으로 시행한 영상을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 영상은 가돌리늄 조영제 ($Magnevist^{(R)}$, Schering, Germany)를 0.1 mmol/kg 정맥주입하여 시행하였고, 두개강 전반에 대하여 시상영상을 fast spoiled gradiend echo sequence로 시행하였다 (TR/TE 5.2/1.5, matrix $310{\times}310$, 절편수 124 절편, 두께 15 cm). 두 그룹의 영상을 해부학적 정맥 혈관 구조에 따라 17 정맥구역에 대하여 평가하였고, 정맥의 영상품질은 세 단계 (안보임, 일부 보임, 완전히 보임)로 나눠서 평가하였다. 결과: 정맥이 완전히 보인 구역은 arterial triggering 자기공명 정맥 촬영술에서 84% (272/323), venous triggering 자기 공명 정맥촬영술에서 91% (310/340) 이다. Venous triggering 자기공명촬영술과 arterial 자기 공명 정맥촬영술을 비교하였을 때 뇌내 정맥 구조를 평가하는데 있어 venous triggering 방법이 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다 (Fisher exact test, p<0.006). 결론: 조영 증강 자기공명 정맥 촬영술은 정맥 혈관 구조에 대한 고화질의 이미지를 제공하였고 arterial triggering 방법보다 venous triggering 방법이 뇌내 정맥 구조 평가에 우월한 것으로 나타났다.

This study focused on nonlinear effective stress site response analysis using two coupled constitutive models, that is, the DM model (Dafalias and Manzari 2004), which incorporated a simple plasticity sand model accounting for fabric change effects, and the PMDY03 model (Khosravifar et al. 2018), that is, a 3D model for earthquake-induced liquefaction triggering and postliquefaction response. A detailed parametric study was conducted to validate the effectiveness of nonlinear site response analysis and porewater pressure (PWP) generation through a true coupled formulation for assessing the initiation of liquefaction at ground level. The coupled models demonstrated accurate prediction of liquefaction triggering, which was in line with established empirical liquefaction triggering relations in published databases. Several limitations were identified in the evaluation of liquefaction using the cyclic stress method, despite its widespread implementation for calculating liquefaction triggering. Variations in shear stiffness, represented by changes in shear wave velocity (Vs1), exerted the most significant influence on site response. The study further indicated that substantial differences in response spectra between nonlinear total stress and nonlinear effective stress analyses primarily occurred when liquefaction was triggered or on the verge of being triggered, as shown by excess PWP ratios approaching unity. These differences diminished when liquefaction occurred towards the later stages of intense shaking. The soil response was predominantly influenced by the higher stiffness values present prior to liquefaction. A key contribution of this study was to validate the criteria used to assess the triggering of level-ground liquefaction using true coupled effective-stress constitutive models, while also confirming the reliability of numerical approximations including the PDMY03 and DM models. These models effectively captured the principal characteristics of liquefaction observed in field tests and laboratory experiments.

The synthetic breaking test method was developed to evaluate the breaking performance of ultra high-voltage circuit breaker and made up of two independent circuits; current source circuit and voltage source circuit. In application of this test method, it is necessary to extend the arc of the test breaker. So, the new re-ignition system using VTGS (Vacuum Triggered Gap-Switch) was constructed to improve the efficiency and reliability of this test. In this re-ignition system, VTGS operates in high vacuum state of $5{\time}10^{17}$torr and control system consists of the triggering device and the air M-G (Motor-Generator). This re-ignition system showed the operating characteristics, such as delay time ($t_d$) and jitter time ($t_j$ not exceeding 5us and 1us respectively, and had the operating voltage of $25\~150kVdc$ at the gap distance of 24mm.

A polymeric micelle, based on the poly(benzyl-L-histidine)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (polyBz-His-b-PEG) diblock copolymer, was designed as a tumor-specific targeting carrier. The micelles (particle size: 67-80 nm, critical micelle concentration (CMC); 2-3 $\mu$g/mL) were formed from the diafilteration method at pH 7.4, as a result of self-assembly of the polyBz-His block at the core and PEG block on the shell. Removing benzyl (Bz) group from polyBz-His block provided pH-sensitivity of the micellar core; the micelles were physically destabilized in the pH range of pH 7.4-5.5, depending on the content of the His group free from Bz group. The ionization of His group at a slightly acidic pH promoted the deformation of the interior core. These pHdependent physical changes of the micelles provide the mechanism for pH-triggering anticancer drug (e.g., doxorubicin: DOX) release from the micelle in response to the tumor’s extracellular pH range (pH 7.2-6.5).

본 연구에서는 2017년 11월 15일 포항지진 시 액상화 위험도가 높았던 5개소의 부지에 대해 액상화 가능성을 재분석하였다. 액상화 지진 하중은 포항 지진파를 지반예측운동방정식(Ground motion prediction equation, GMPE)로 산정한 응답스펙트럼에 보정한 결과를 입력 지진파로 사용하였다. 지반의 액상화 저항력은 현장 시험 중 표준관입시험(Standard Penetration Test, SPT)과 콘관입시험(Cone penetration test, CPT)을 통해 결정되었다. 한편, 액상화 발생 가능성은 지반 액상화 지수(LPI)를 통해 정량화되었으며 이를 기존 연구 결과와 비교하였다.

본 연구에서는 변위 및 가속도 응답의 저감 효과에 있어서, 유리한 형상인 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형(Helical $180^{\circ}$) 초고층건물을 대상으로 공력진동실험 수행하여 나선형 초고층건물의 공력감쇠율의 특성을 조사하였다. 공력감쇠율은 RD법(Random decrement technique)을 이용하여 평가하였다. 또한 RD법에서 부분 샘플의 개수와 초기 조건 값의 변화가 공력감쇠율에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 실험 결과, 최소 2000개 이상의 부분 샘플을 이용하여 앙상블 평균을 적용하면 공력감쇠율의 불규칙한 변동의 폭을 줄일 수 있음을 검증했고, 기존 연구들과도 잘 부합되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 정방형 모형과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 모형의 공력감쇠율의 결과를 살펴보면, 풍방향 공력감쇠율은 건물의 형상이 다름에도 불구하고 무차원 풍속에 따른 공력감쇠율은 매우 유사한 경향을 보였다. 한편, 정방형 모형에 대한 풍직각방향의 공력감쇠율은 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형모형의 공력감쇠율의 특성과는 다른 양상을 보이는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 풍향 변화에 따른 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 모형의 Y방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 풍향의 변화와 상관없이, 전반적으로 0에 가까운 값을 갖는 경향이 나타났고, 무차원 풍속의 증가와 함께 변동의 폭은 작지만 점진적으로 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 초기 조건 값의 변화에 따른 공력감쇠율을 평가한 결과, 초기 조건 값을 "응답의 표준편차" 또는 RD 함수에 대한 최적화 "${\sqrt{2}}{\times}$응답의 표준 편차"를 적용하여 평가한 공력감쇠율은 매우 유사한 결과 값과 분포를 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

Recently the blockchain technology has been actively studied due to its great potentiality. The smart contract is a key mechanism of the blockchain system. Due to the short history of the smart contract, many issues have not been solved yet. One main issue is vulnerability and another main issue is cost optimization. While the vulnerability of smart contract has been actively studied, the cost optimization has been rarely studied. In this paper, we propose two cost optimization methods for smart contracts running on the blockchain system. Triggering a function in a smart contract program code may require costs and it is repeated continuously. So the minimization of costs required to trigger a function of smart contract while maintaining the performance equally is very important. The proposed two methods minimize the usage of expensive permanent variables deployed on the blockchain system. We apply the proposed two methods to three prevalent blockchain platforms: Ethereum, Klaytn and Tron. Evaluation experiments verify that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the costs of functions in the smart contract written with Solidity.
