  • 본 연구에서는 상수관로의 잔존수명을 통계적 기법 중 하나인 비례위험모형(PHM)에 적용하여 평가하였다. 비례위험모형을 구축하기 위한 개별관로의 생존시간은 관로의 파손율이 한계파손율에 도달하는 시간으로 정의하였다. 즉, Park and Loganathan(2002)에서 제시한 GPBM을 적용하여 시간에 따른 개별관로의 파손율을 추정하고 추정된 파손율과 한계파손율의 상등관계를 통해 생존시간을 산정하였다. 또한, 본 연구대상관로에 대한 GPBM을 구축함에 있어, 매설시점에서 누적파손횟수를 0으로 한 파손기록을 입력자료에 추가하는 방법과 가중계수(WF)의 범위를 수정함으로써 기존의 GPBM을 보완하였다. 이로써 파손사건이 최소 1회 이상 기록된 강관 및 주철관에 대한 비례위험모형을 구축하였다. 이와 같이 수정된 방법론은 관로 파손사건 등의 자료의 축적이 미비한 국내 여건에서 비례위험모형 및 GPBM과 같은 통계적 모형을 구축할 때 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구대상관로의 비례위험모형에 포함된 유의한 공변수는 관종과 관경 그리고 길이이며 관종은 비례성 가정을 위배하여 시간종속형 변수로 모형화되었다. 최종 채택된 PHM모형을 통해 생존함수를 추정하였으며 추정된 생존함수를 이용하여 개별관로의 잔존수명 및 경제적 수명 그리고 각 수명에 대한 95% 신뢰구간을 산정하였다. 또한 개별관로의 경제적 수명에 영향을 미치는 공변수의 위험비율도 분석하였다. 분석결과 강관의 평균 경제적 수명은 약 25.1년이고 주철관은 약 21년으로 산정되었다. 또한 관종에 따른 경제적 수명에 도달할 상대적인 위험률은 전반적으로 주철관이 높으나 20년 이상 매설된 관로에서는 강관의 위험률이 높을 것으로 분석되었다. 관경과 길이는 크기에 비례하여 상대적 위험률도 증가하였다.

  • The objectives of this study, an analysis of the variation for leaf and fruit characteristics among the selected ten populations of Sorbus commixta Hedl. could be used for the conservation of gene resources and could provide information to superior trees selection. The results obtained from this study can be summarized as follows; Approximately, the Mt. Sungin population at Ulleung island showed larger values in overall characteristics and populations. On the other hand, Mt. Halla population at Jeju island showed the smaller values of the overall characteristics and populations. ANOV A tests showed that there were statistically significant differences in all leaf characteristics among the populations as well as individual trees within populations. But, for fruit characteristics, differences were statistically significant only among the populations. Cluster analysis using single linkage method based on leaf and fruit characteristics showed that ten selected populations of S. commixta in Korea could be clustered into three groups. Group I is Mt. Sungin at Ulleung island, Group II is Mt. Halla at Jeju island, and Group III comprises Osan, Mt. Kaji, Mt. Duckyoo, Mt. Balwang, Mt. Sobaek, Mt. O-dae, Mt. Jiri, and Mt. Taebaek. The selection level based on major agronomic traits, which are the Number of Fruit per Fruiting Lateral(NFL) over 50, and Fruit Length(FL) and Width(FW) over 10 mm, and Weight of 100 Fruit(WFI00) over 66 g, was applied on 100 sample trees, and five trees were selected. The selection effects from selected trees in NFL, FL, FW, and WF100 were evaluated as 132%, 151 %, 142%, and 264% compared to the mean of those 100 sample trees, respectively. Especially, Ulleung 2 showed excellent values that NFL and WFI00 were 95, and 69 g, respectively, suggesting a promising new cultivar for larger fruit and high productivity.

  • Although the research of high strength materials is in process briskly in the inside and outside of the country, in south korea, the research of high strength materials is insufficiency. Generally shear resistance of RC beam is influenced dominantly by amount of shear-reinforcing bars($p_w$) and yied strength($f_{wy}$). Therefore, I come to the conclusion that if use shear reinforced bar with shear reinforced bar, it leads to decrease of the quantity of shear reinforced bar and effects on the security of shear-restraint force of member. This study experimented with not only the mixture of high strength-reinforced bar and U-shaped reinforcement normal strength -reinforced bar devises efficient improvement, but also it incites improvement of bond capacity and carries out an experimental study for improvement of member resisting force, finally it evaluates bond capacity quantitatively on the lines of main reinforcement the restraint method.

  • This paper proposes a novel strategy for attenuating the output power fluctuation of the wind farm (WF) in a range of tens of seconds delivered to the grid, where the kinetic energy caused by the large inertia of the wind turbine systems is utilized. A control scheme of the two-level structure is applied to control the wind farm, which consists of a supervisory control of the wind farm and individual wind turbine controls. The supervisory control generates the output power reference of the wind farm, which is filtered out from the available power extracted from the wind by a low-pass filter (LPF). A lead-lag compensator is used for compensating for the phase delay of the output power reference compared with the available power. By this control strategy, when the reference power is lower than the maximum available power, some of individual wind turbines are operated in the storing mode of the kinetic energy by increasing the turbine speeds. Then, these individual wind turbines release the kinetic power by reducing the turbine speed, when the power command is higher than the available power. In addition, the pitch angle control systems of the wind turbines are also employed to limit the turbine speed not higher than the limitation value during the storing mode of kinetic energy. For coordinating the de-rated operation of the WT and the storing or releasing modes of the kinetic energy, the output power fluctuations are reduced by about 20%. The PSCAD/EMTDC simulations have been carried out for a 10-MW wind farm equipped with the permanent-magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) to verify the validity of the proposed method.

  • The objective of this study is to evaluate the lateral earth pressure and the stability of small scale retaining wall with waste foundry sand(WFS) mixtures as a controlled low strength materials (CLSM). Three different types of WFS, like Green WFS, Hurane WFS and Coated WFS, were used in this study, and fly ash of Class F type was adopted. To evaluate the lateral earth pressure and the stability of retaining wall, two different samll scale retaining wall tests, which are called an artificially controlled strain method and a natural strain method, were carried out. In case of an artificially controlled strain method, the coefficient of lateral earth pressure, just after backfilling of WF mixtures, was around 0.8 to 1.0, and most of earth pressure was dissipated within 12 hours. In case of a natural strain method, two steps of stage constructions were employed. The mixtures of Hurane WFS and Coated WFS showed fast decrease of earth pressure due to a relatively good drainage. Judging from the sta bility of retaining wall for overturning and sliding, two steps of stage construction for 2 days were enough to finish the backfill of 6-m height of retaining wall. Also, considering the curling effect of WFS mixtures, the stability of retaining wall increased as curling time increased.

  • Simulation validation techniques which have been employed in most studies are statistical analysis, which validate a model with mean or variance of throughput and resource utilization as an evaluation object. However, these methods have not been able to ensure the reliability of individual elements of the model well. To overcome the problem, the weighted F-measure method was proposed, but this technique also had some limitations. First, it is difficult to apply the technique to complex system environment with numerous values of interarrival time because it assigns a class to an individual value of interarrival time. In addition, due to unbounded weights, the value of weighted F-measure has no lower bound, so it is difficult to determine its threshold. Therefore, this paper propose weighted F-measure technique with cluster analysis to solve these problems. The classes for the technique are defined by each cluster, which reduces considerable number of classes and enables to apply the technique to various systems. Moreover, we improved the validation technique in the way of assigning minimum bounded weights without any lack of objectivity.

  • In an attempt to make dried noodles with composite flours utilizing rice and wheat flours, noodle-making characteristics were improved by the addition of popped rice and wheat flours to rice flour. Their quality was studied in terms of physical properties, noodle-making characteristics, cooking quality test and sensory evaluation. Dried noodle of the composite flour was produced by the conventional method. The results are summerized as follows; 1. In comparing the composite flours, the rice flour containing 30% popped rice flour had a lower maximum viscosity than that with 40% popped rice flour by method of amylograph. The composite flour(20% rice+30% popped rice+50% wheat flour) with added 2% xanthan gum showed the viscosity characteristics which was similar to that of wheat flour. 2. Addition of $1.5{\sim}2.0%$ xanthan gum and $40{\sim}50%$ wheat flour to rice and popped rice flour mixture helped to improve the noodle making properties and the cooking quality, and the noodle making properties and the cooking quality of the mixed flour were almost the same as those of wheat flour alone. 3. The composite flour (rice+popped rice+wheat flour) with xanthan gum showed a higher score in sensory evaluation than that without xanthan gum. The general acceptability scores obtained with the noodle products made of the composite flours with 30% popped rice flour was not significantly different from that of noodle products made of wheat flour alone. However, the noodle products made of the composite flours showed rather higher scores in odor and palatability than the products made of wheat flour alone.

  • Background: Cytokine-mediated ex vivo expansion has been proposed as a means of increasing the number of cord blood (CB) hematopoietic stem cells for transplantation. As well as stem cell number, stromal cells are necessary for functional maturation of hematopoiesis. The purpose of this study was to analyze the development of stromal cells during ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells. Methods : $CD34^+$ cells were purified from CB by magnetic bead selection. The levels of of interleukin-3, interleukin-$1{\beta}$, interleukin-6, granulocyte macrophagecolony stimulating factor and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ were measured in culture supernatants on 0, 1, 2, and 3 weeks, using ELISA techniques. CB $CD34^+$ cells were expanded in Iscoves modified Dulbeccos medium in the presence of several cytokines. The expression of E-selectin, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, von Willebrand factor, vimentin, and CD14 in newly developed stromal cells was examined by immunocytochemical method. Relevant extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins and proper cytokines were also assayed for the most suitable condition for expansion of stromal cells. Results: Several cytokines were found to have been produced by CB $CD34^+$ cells as well as bone marrow-derived $CD34^+$ cells. During ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells, stromal cells appeared in the culture by day 4 and expanded over the following 7-10 days before being confluent by day 2 1. These cells expressed surface markers characteristic of cells of endothelial lineage. Furthermore, these stroaml cells also expanded effectively when treated with thrombopoietin+flt-3 ligand+stem cell factor+leukemia inhibitory factor or 0.1% poly-L-lysine-coated wells. Conclusion: Stromal cells were developed during ex vivo expansion of CB $CD34^+$ cells and that this development could be enhanced further by treating the stromal cells with cytokines or ECM.
