Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart anomaly, in isolation, has no hemodynamic consequences. It is usually associated with one or more of a variety of intracardiac lesions, ventricular septal defect, valvular or subvalvular pulmonary stenosis, and deformity of the systemic atrioventricular valve with insufficiency. This report describes a successful two stage operation for congenitally corrected transposition, [SLL] type, with ventricular septal defect, pulmonary atresia, persistent ductus arteriosus, and atrial septal defect. A 9 years old patient underwent modified Blalock-Taussig operation because of severe pulmonary hypoplasia. 2 years later a corrective operation, direct closure of ASD and PDA, VSD closure with Dacron patch, Enlargement of left pulmonary artery with pericardial patch and Relief of ROTO with Rastelli procedure could be successfully performed without complication.

This paper presents an optimization formulation for resource scheduling in Critical Resource Diagramming (CRD) of production scheduling networks. A CRD network schedules units of resources against points of needs in a production network rather than the conventional approach of scheduling tasks against resource availability. This resource scheduling approach provides more effective tracking of utilization of production resources as they are assigned or 'moved' from one point of need to another. Using CRD, criticality indices can be developed for resource types in a way similar to the criticality of activities in Critical Path Method (CPM). In our supply chain model, upstreams may choose either normal operation or expedited operation in resource scheduling. Their decisions affect downstream's resource scheduling. The suggested optimization formulation models resources as CRD elements in a production two-stage supply to minimize the total operation cost

The Low Voltage DC-DC converters (LDCs) of the Electric Vehicles require high power density and high efficiency operation over the wide range of load and input voltage variations. This paper introduces a novel topology which combines three 1 MHz Half-Bridge (HB) LLC resonant converters and an Inverting Buck-Boost (IBB) converter to adjust the output voltage without frequency modulation. The switching frequency of the proposed converter is fixed at 1MHz to achieve a constant frequency operation for the resonant converter. In the proposed topology GaN FETs and planar transformers are employed to optimize the converter operation at high frequency. A 1 MHz/1.8 kW prototype converter is built to verify the feasibility and the validity of the proposed LDC topology.

Surgery remains the mainstay in the management of carcinoma of the rectum. However, local recurrence and systemic metastasis remain the challenge. It appears that post operative radiotherapy has a very definite role in the reduction of local recurrence. Minty two patients of carcinoma of the rectum after curative surgery received post operative radiotherapy $5,000rad/5\~6weeks$ to whole pelvis at the Department of Therapeutic Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital between March 1979 and December 1982. Fifty three percent of patients show modified Astler-Coiler stage C2. Actuarial disease free survival rate of rectal cancer was : stage B1, 2 $75\%$, stage C1 $81\%$ stage C2 $39\%$, and stage C3 $20\%$, Twelve percent shows local recurrence and distant metastasis occurred in $28\%$. Prognostic significance of nodal metastasis is also analysed. Incidence of small bewel obstruction, requiring surgery, is $8\%$, occurring between 5th month to 12 th month after operation. It is suggested that post operative radiotherapy of the rectal cancer following curative surgery has a significant role in the reduction of local recurrence.

In developing a multistage compressor, the stage matching is one of the critical design issues. The mismatching can be often observed even if each stage has been proven good and then used as part of a compression system. A good matching among the stages can be achieved by changing various design parameters (i.e., passage cross sectional areas, blades angles, stagger angles, curvature, solidity, etc.). Therefore, designers need to find out what parameters must be changed and how much. In this study, a method to search the design parameters for optimum stage matching has been used based on an 1-D mathematical model of a compressor, which uses the data obtained from the preliminary test to identify the design parameters. This methodology is applied with a two-stage axial compressor, which was originally designed for a helicopter gas turbine engine. After identifying design parameters using preliminary test data, an optimization process has been employed to achieve the best matching between the stages (i.e., maximum efficiency of the compressor at its operation modes within a given range of the rotor speed under given restrictions for required stall margins and mass flow). 3-D flow calculations have been performed to confirm the usefulness of the corrections based on the 1-D mathematical model. Calculational results agree well with the experimental data in view of the performance characteristics. Some promising results were produced through the methodology proposed in this paper in conjunction with flow calculations.

본 논문에서는 트랜지스터 동작영역에 독립적인 일정 트랜스컨덕턴스 rail-to-tail 입력회로 및 AB-급 출력회로를 갖는 2단 연산증폭기를 제시한다. rail-to-rail 입력회로는 추가 NMOS 및 PMOS 차동 입력단 구조를 사용하여, 전체 동상 입력 전압에서 항상 일정한 트랜스컨덕턴스를 갖도록 하였다. 이러한 입력단 회로는 기존 MOS의 정확한 전류-전압 관계식을 사용하지 않고, 트랜지스터의 동작영역에서, 즉 강 반전 및 약 반전, 독립적인 새로운 광역 선형 전류관계를 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 입력단 회로를 SPICE를 사용하여 모의실험 결과, 전체 동상 입력 전압에 대해서 4.3%의 변화율이 나타남을 검증하였다. AB-급 출력단 회로는 공급 전압원에 독립적인 일정한 동작 전류값을 갖고, 출력 전압은 Vss+0.1에서 Vdd-0.15까지 구동하는 전압 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 출력단은 AB-급 궤환 제어 방식을 사용하여 저전압에서 동작 할 수 있다. 전체 연산 증폭기의 단일-이득 주파수 및 DC 전압이득 변화율은 각각 4.2% 및 12%로 나타냈다.

The state of the art of the 2-stage swirl calciner is to make 2-stage counter gas flow in a calciner with cooler hot air. Gas flow in the calciner increases retention time of raw mix particles. Simple structure of the 2-stage swirl calciner operated optimally the rotary cement kiln. In this study, in order to decide the entrance type of the cooler air of the optimal calciner model, an entrance cooler air velocity, the input points of raw mix were analyzed in many aspects with cold model experiment and computational fluidized dynamic simulation. It was found that the entrance type of cooler air fully splite 2-stage for the optimal condition of the cold model calciner. The operation conditions were that the input feeding, the cooler air velocity and the air velocity of throat were 0.33kg/$\textrm m$3$, 15m/s and 20m/s respectively. The performance of 150 t/d the pilot plant connected with the kiln rising duct was that volume capacity of the calciner is over 430 kg/$\textrm m$3$-h, decarbonation rate of raw mix apparently 90%, heat consumption 950 kcal/kg-cli and retention time of raw mix 2.4 sec. Its the best operating condition is cooler air velocity 18m/s, the gas velocity of throat 25m/s, feeding rate of raw mix 10t/h. The operating experience of the pilot plant confirmed the success of scale up for over 3000 t-cli/d.

영산호의 배수갑문 확장, 영암호의 배수갑문, 연락수로의 확폭이 영산강 하류부 홍수위 조절에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위하여, 영산호와 영암호를 하나의 연계시스템으로 구성하여 부정류 해석을 수행하였다. 영산호 배수갑문의 폭, 영암호 배수갑문의 폭, 연락수로의 폭이 현상태인 조건에서, 영산호-영암호 연계운영의 효과는 미미한 것으로 분석되었다. 영산호의 내수위를 낮추기 위해서는 연락수로의 폭과 영암호 배수갑문의 폭을 확장하는 것이 효과적이며, 영산호 배수갑문의 폭을 확장하는 것은 상대적으로 그 영향이 작은 것으로 분석되었다. 연락수로의 폭을 확장하는 것은 영암호의 내수위 상승을 유발하는데, 상승한 영암호의 내수위를 낮추기 위해서는 영암호 배수갑문과 영산호 배수갑문을 함께 확장하는 것이 필요하다. 연락수로의 폭을 확장함으로써 호소간 분기유량을 증대시키면, 연락수로 제수문의 개폐기준 조정을 통해 영산호의 내수위를 효과적으로 조절할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

As Probabilistic Safety Assessments (PSAs) are thoroughly conducted for the Site Operating States (SOSs) for a single unit, multi-unit Probabilistic Safety Assessments (MUPSAs) are ongoing worldwide to address new technical challenges or issues. In South Korea, the determination of the site operating states for a single site requires a logical approach with reasonable assumptions due to the fact that there are 4-8 operating units for each site. This paper suggests a simulation model that gives a reasonable expectation of the site operation states using the Monte-Carlo method as a stochastic approach and deterministic aspects such as operational policies. Statistical hypothesis tests were conducted so that the reliance of the simulation results can be guaranteed. In this study, 7 units of the Kori site were analysed as a case study. The result shows that the fraction of full power for all 7 units is nearly 0.45. For situations when more than two units are not in operation, the highest fraction combination was obtained for Plant Operation State (POS) 8, which is the stage of inspection and repairment. By entering various site operation scenarios, the simulation model can be used for the analysis of other site operation states.

Crack detection plays an important role in the maintenance and protection of steel box girder of bridges. However, since the cracks only occupy an extremely small region of the high-resolution images captured from actual conditions, the existing methods cannot deal with this kind of image effectively. To solve this problem, this paper proposed a novel three-stage method based on deep learning technology and morphology operations. The training set and test set used in this paper are composed of 360 images (4928 × 3264 pixels) in steel girder box. The first stage of the proposed model converted high-resolution images into sub-images by using patch-based method and located the region of cracks by CBAM ResNet-50 model. The Recall reaches 0.95 on the test set. The second stage of our method uses the Attention U-Net model to get the accurate geometric edges of cracks based on results in the first stage. The IoU of the segmentation model implemented in this stage attains 0.48. In the third stage of the model, we remove the wrong-predicted isolated points in the predicted results through dilate operation and outlier elimination algorithm. The IoU of test set ascends to 0.70 after this stage. Ablation experiments are conducted to optimize the parameters and further promote the accuracy of the proposed method. The result shows that: (1) the best patch size of sub-images is 1024 × 1024. (2) the CBAM ResNet-50 and the Attention U-Net achieved the best results in the first and the second stage, respectively. (3) Pre-training the model of the first two stages can improve the IoU by 2.9%. In general, our method is of great significance for crack detection.
