A new model for describing the behavior of clay under monotonic and cyclic loading is proposed. This model uses the hyperbolic representation for the stress -strain relationship in overconsolidated state and it describes undrained effective stress path on the basis of the critical state theory. The developed constitutive model by using an energy dissipation equation can describe the behavior of clay in heavily overconsolidated state as u.ell as lightly overconsolidated state under monotonic loading. In order to extend the model for the behavior of clay under cyclic loading, a shift function of undrained stress spacing ratio is introduced in the constitutive model developed for monotonlc loading. A single additional parameter is required to represent the cyclic effect and it can be reasonably deter mined from the test results. The measured behavior in undrained cyclic triaxial tests has been easily and precisely predicted by the newly developed constitutive model.

In case of low odor level, accident probabilities are very high Otherwise, when the odorant concentration is too high, the deterioration of pipeline and governor facilities and the environmental problems may occur. Odorants fade in the pipeline and other equipment due to physical and chemical adsorption and reactions with odorant and materials. So, it is very important to maintain odorant concentration properly In this study, the current status of odorization technologies has been reviewed. And the characteristics of small odorant system have been analyzed. In case that the small odorant system Is introduced in our country, this paper is proposed the feasible management plan and showed feasibility results through the analysis of current available technology.

With the proliferation of nonlinear loads such as lighting facilities in all modern society high neutral harmonic currents have been observed. High neutral currents in three- phase four-wire distribution systems can cause lots of harmonic problems. The most common solution of neutral harmonic currents reduction is a zero phase sequence filter using zig-zag transformer. This paper analyzes a commercially available neutral line zero sequence currents reduction device and applies the equipment to lighting loads for eliminating harmonics. Experimental results are compared numerically and graphically with simulation results through the use of MATLAB.

Sensor network is subject to novel problems and constraints because it is composed of thousands of tiny devices with very limited resources. The large number of motes in a sensor network means that there will be some failing nodes owing to the lack of battery in sensor nodes. Therefore, it is imperative to save the energy as much as possible. In this work, we propose energy efficient routing algorithm which is based on directed diffusion scheme. In the proposed scheme, some overloads required for reinforcing the gradient path can be effectively eliminated. Furthermore, in order to verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm, several simulations are executed.

기계가공으로 인한 사고는 작업자에게 치명적인 경우가 많다. 이러한 사고는 완벽한 가공지그을 통해 대부분 예방이 가능하지만 제품설계초기 후가공과 양산 공정은 고려되지 않고 설계되어 기계가공 시 재해로 연결되는 경우가 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 사형주조법은 수작업으로 손쉽게 제품을 생산하는 장점을 가지는 반면 치수오차가 다른 양산공정 보다 크다는 단점을 가진다. 이런 사형 주조품을 기계 가공할 때 제품의 치수편차로 인해 불안전한 고정및 과다한 절삭, 제품이탈, 공구파손, 장비와 공구의 빠른 수명감소 등의 다양한 문제가 발생 하지만 사형주조의 특성상 개선하기 어려운 문제로 인식되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원형의 용기형태의 제품을 사형주조 후 기계가공 하는 것을 금형으로 대체하기 위한 셸몰드법을 제시하고 셸몰드로 만든 셸주형으로 주조함으로서 표면조도 평균 $Ra9.94{\mu}m$의 기계가공에 준하는 표면을 구현하였다. 외형의 정밀한 제품을 대량 생산하여 가공공정의 간소화 및 평균 두께 편차를 줄임으로서 제품파손 및 제작 시 발생할 수 있는 안전사고예방에 긍정적인 영향을 주었다. 기계가공전 제품의 치수정밀도를 높여 안전성, 생산성향상, 가공 공정단축, 환경개선 등을 이 가능함을 확인하였다.

We experienced a case of Achalasia, who had been impressed as a bronchial asthma and treated at a local clinic. Fluoroscopic findings revealed narrowed vestibular portion with markedly dilated body of the esophagus. Hypertrophied mucosal folds on lower portion of the esophagus were noticed by the esophagoscopy but no ulcerative lesion, nor mass were found. The symptoms such as dysphagia, regurgitation, cough and retrosternal discomfortness were markedly relieved by means of daily mercury bougienage for a month duration.

It is more important to ensure the credibility of internet media which influence the public opinion. However, there are vague suspicions in public from the examples of manipulation of online reviews with anonymity. In this study, we explore the possibility of manipulating public opinion in online web sites. We investigate the characteristics of comments posted by users on web sites and compare each comments by using the cosine similarity function. Our result shows followings. First, we found a correlation between the similarities of comments and the article ranks in the web sites. Second, it is possible to identify abnormal user activities indicating excessive multiple posting, double posting and astroturf activities.

While an ideal author graph should have its nodes to represent authors, automatically-generated author graphs mostly use author names as their nodes due to the difficulty of resolving author names into individuals. However, employing author names as nodes of author graphs merges namesakes, otherwise separate nodes in the author graph, into the same node, which may distort the characteristics of the author graph. This study proposes an algorithm which resolves author ambiguities based on co-authorship and then yields an author graph consisting of not author name nodes but author nodes. Scientific collaboration relationship this algorithm depends on tends to produce the clustering results which minimize the over-clustering error at the expense of the under-clustering error. In experiments, the algorithm is applied to the real citation records where Korean namesakes occur, and the results are discussed.

A 45 year old man was admitted for aggravated dyspnea, abdominal distension and poor oral intake. On Echocardiogram, mitral stenosis(severe), tricuspid regurgitaion(IV), and LA thrombus were diagnosed. We used heparin with continuous infusion for prevention of systemic thrombo embolism. On the 11th day of admission, the patient showed thrombocytopenia and we suspected Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia. Hirudin was used in this case as alternative anticoagulant during cardiopulmonary bypass to prevent serious complication of heparin. The patient was recovered without any complication as postoperative bleeding or systemic thromboembolism.

The Euclidean distance between error probability density functions (EDEP) has been used as a performance criterion for supervised adaptive signal processing in impulsive noise environments. One of the drawbacks of the EDEP algorithm is a heavy computational complexity due to the double summation operations at each iteration time. In this paper, a recursive method to reduce its computational burden in the estimation of the EDEP and its gradient is proposed. For the data block size N, the computational complexity for the estimation of the EDEP and its gradient can be reduced to O(N) by the proposed method, while the conventional estimation method has $O(N^2)$. In the performance test, the proposed EDEP and its gradient estimation yield the same estimation results in the steady state as the conventional block-processing method. The simulation results indicates that the proposed method can be effective in practical adaptive signal processing.
