Seismic isolation and vibration control techniques have been developed and put into practical use by challenging researchers and engineers worldwide since the latter half of the 20th century, and after more than 40 years, they are now used in thousands of buildings, private residences, highways in many seismic areas in the world. Seismic isolation and vibration control structures can keep the structures undamaged even in a major earthquake and realize continuous occupancy. This performance has come to be recognized not only by engineers but also by ordinary people, becoming indispensable for the formation of a resilient society. However, the dynamic characteristics of seismically isolated bearings, the key elements, are highly dependent on the size effect and rate-of-loading, especially under extreme loading conditions. Therefore, confirming the actual properties and performance of these bearings with full-scale specimens under prescribed dynamic loading protocols is essential. The number of testing facilities with such capacity is still limited and even though the existing labs in the US, China, Taiwan, Italy, etc. are conducting these tests, their dynamic loading test setups are subjected to friction generated by the large vertical loads and inertial force of the heavy table which affect the accuracy of measured forces. To solve this problem, the authors have proposed a direct reaction force measuring system that can eliminate the effects of friction and inertia forces, and a seismic isolation testing facility with the proposed system (E-isolation) will be completed on March 2023 in Japan. This test facility is designed to conduct not only dynamic loading tests of seismic isolation bearings and dampers but also to perform hybrid simulations of seismically isolated structures. In this paper, design details and the realization of this system into an actual dynamic testing facility are presented and the outcomes are discussed.

석영유리 도가니(QC)의 사용 중 기포 품질을 검증하기 위하여 적절한 가속 시험 방법을 제안하였다. 실제 Czochralski(Cz) 공정에서 얻어진 폐기물 도가니의 기포 상태를 분석하고 QC 시험편을 이용하여 온도, 압력, 시간을 변화시켜 최적의 열처리 조건을 제시하였다. Cz 공정에서 생성되는 유사한 기포 크기와 밀도로 제어하기 위해서는 1450℃, 0.4 Torr 및 40시간의 열처리 조건이 적절하였다. 특히 Cz 공정에서 적용하는 압력인 10~20 Torr보다 상대적으로 낮은 압력인 0.4 Torr를 선택함으로써 기포 형성 가속시험의 시간을 단축시킬 수 있었다. 열처리 온도를 1550℃ 높일 경우, Ostwald ripening 현상으로 인하여 기포가 커지고 밀도가 급격히 낮아지며, 결정화 발생으로 적절한 가속시험 조건은 아닌 것으로 판단하였다.

The size of spread footings was found to be unnecessarily large from some actual engineering practices constructed in Taiwan, due to the strict design provisions related to footing uplift. According to the earlier design code in Taiwan, the footing uplift involving separation of footing from subsoil was permitted to be only up to one-half of the foundation base area, as the applied moment reaches the value of plastic moment capacity of the column. The reason for this provision was that rocking of spread footings was not a favorable mechanism. However, recent research has indicated that rocking itself may not be detrimental to seismic performance and, in fact, may act as a form of seismic isolation mechanism. In order to clarify the effects of the relative strength between column and foundation on the rocking behavior of a column, six circular reinforced concrete (RC) columns were designed and constructed and a series of rocking experiments were performed. During the tests, columns rested on a rubber pad to allow rocking to take place. Experimental variables included the dimensions of the footings, the strength and ductility capacity of the columns and the intensity of the applied earthquake. Experimental data for the six circular RC columns subjected to quasi-static and pseudo-dynamic loading are presented. Results of each cyclic loading test are compared against the benchmark test with fixed-base conditions. By comparing the experimental responses of the specimens with different design details, a key parameter of rocking behavior related to footing size and column strength is identified. For a properly designed column with the parameter higher than 1, the beneficial effects of rocking in reducing ductility and the strength demand of columns is verified.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine appropriate threshing and selection conditions for sorghum harvesting using a rice combine-harvester. Methods: Sorghum harvesting performance was tested using an actual rice combine. Through this test, the grain loss rate and the composition of crops according to the engine and fan speeds of the combine were investigated. Furthermore, the optimal threshing and selection conditions were determined by carrying out a harvest test based on the opening size factor of the concave in a test field. Results: The grain loss rate for the sorghum using a concave ($18{\times}18mm$) of the rice combine was the lowest at 0.1% at a chaffer angle of $40^{\circ}$, engine speed of 2000 rpm, and fan speed of 20 m/s, but the sorting sieve clogged frequently. Furthermore, as the engine speed and fan speed increased, the grain loss rate also increased. The sorghum harvesting test results of the combine according to the concave opening size showed that the grain loss rate was 0.5% at a driving speed of 0.5 m/s, with a concave opening diameter of 13 mm, a chaffer angle of $40^{\circ}$, a concave sieve oscillation frequency of 4.8 Hz, a fan speed of 20 m/s, and an engine speed of 2000 rpm. Conclusions: Findings showed that sorghum could be harvested using a head feeding rice combine.

The biggest obstacle to the commercialization of small and medium size microgrid (MG) is the reliability and economics of MG operation and maintenance. In this paper, we propose an autonomous operation method that is implemented as an application program installed in the MG operating system in emergency situations. The proposed algorithm consists of four steps of distinction, recognition, determination and control of emergency situations that can occur in MG. A fuzzy-based situation decision algorithm has been proposed to eliminate the barriers of autonomous operation in actual emergency situation such as occurrence of bad data and communication delay. In addition, countermeasures have been suggested for cases where multiple emergency situations have occurred in combination. The proposed algorithm was tested in a 500kW actual microgrid site of a university. Through the test, the validity of the proposed method and its applicability to practical MG operation are verified.

The mechanical and physical properties of wood are strongly dependent upon the slope of grain. Specially, tensile strength is more severely affected by the slope of grain. Therefore, tension tests were performed on small thin wood samples made from Pinus radiata with varying the slope of grain. Determining the tensile strength for clear thin wood samples the other variabilities associated with material, size, drying, defects, etc were discarded. Slope of grain was measured by the slope of grain indicator and actual slope of grain was also determined by a protractor. Correlation coefficients between machine measured and actual slope of grain for 40 pieces of 2×20 mm, 300 mm long Pinus radiata were 0.84 for wide face measurement. Results also showed that tensile strength and MOE from stress wave tests decreased with increasing the slope of grain. This study did not establish a relationships for tensile strength and MOE from stress wave with slope of grain. However, the trends of MOEs from stress wave test with both slope of grain are agreed well with Hankinson's equation. Predicted tension strength curve by Hankinson's equation was also agreed well with the experimental data over the range from 0 to 13 degrees for slope of grain.

The purpose of this study is to suggest fundamental information about wearing method and production of brassiere, which is suitable for physiological hygiene and efficient action for elderly women. The subject is 418 elderly women aged 50∼69 years old. Data is processed by a computer(SAS) and is analyzed by using frequency, percentage, x²-test. The main results of this study are as follows. 1. Elderly women'weight and breast size are higher thant their younger counterparts'in their 20's, but the older and poorer women with more children have smaller weight and breast. Most of the elderly women feel that their breasts are drooped or falling apart. I fact, those elderly women who gave birth to more children have more drooped and wider breasts. The major type of elderly women'breast is the 'drooped breast' featured more by those elderly women who have more children. 2. Most of the elderly women began to wear the brassiere for the first time in their 20's the older women with more children began to wear the brassiere earlier, while those less educated and poorer began to protect their breasts with brassiere later. Many elderly women wear the brassiere to be protected from dirt, noise or look more neat, but day tend to wear the brassiere not all day around but at certain times, older, less educated and proper women with more children tend to use the brassiere for etiquette and less often. This group of elderly women feel tedious, stage or uncomfortable for the brassiere. 3. Most of the elderly women know about their brassiere size. Such variables as age, education and income are correlated positively with the interest in and consciousness of the brassiere size. All in all, the statistical distribution of elderly women's brassiere size is very wide, while most of them use 90A, 85A and 95A sizes. On the other hand, the most popular size of the under bust circumference is 85∼90cm, while their primary cup size is A.

본 연구는 콘크리트내의 철근의 굵기와 깊이를 동시에 측정할 수 있는 기술 개발에 관한 것이다. 개발된 탐촉자는 기존의 철근 탐지기와 다른 구조를 지니는데 감지 코일이 세 개로 구성되어 있다. 따라서 세 가지 신호를 동시에 측정하여 분석함으로써 철근의 굵기와 깊이를 분석하도록 되어 있다. 탐촉자 내 코일의 전압과 위상 변화를 임피던스 분석기를 이용하여 조사하고 그 전달함수의 괘적을 분석하였다. 여기 코일 내부에 장착된 감지 코일은 알려진 바와 같이 단순한 변화 형태를 나타내었으나 여기 코일 밖에 장착된 코일의 경우 변화 곡선이 복잡하였다. 실제 철근탐지 실험은 일반 와전류 탐상기를 이용하였는데 여러 가지 철근의 굵기와 깊이에 대하여 실험하였다. 철근 깊이에 따른 신호 변화는 임피던스 분석기에 의한 전달함수 변화에서 나타낸 것과 비슷한 경향을 나타내었으며 감지 코일마다 다른 전압의 변화를 이용하여 철근의 굵기와 깊이의 동시 측정이 가능하였다.

When measuring cerebrovascular with 3D rotational angiography, the accuracy was verified by comparing the actual size and measurement size, respectively. It is intended to help select therapeutic materials and instruments during cerebrovascular intervention by comparing the average error rates for measured values in the 3DRA and CTA methods by examining with protocols such as brain CTA, which are always performed in emergency situations. The mean error rate between the groups of measurers was ±3.655% for radiation technologist and ±3.331% for university students, and the mean error rate of the student group was within tolerance (±10%), and the independent sample T-test result t =0.879, p=0.394 (p>0.05) showed no statistically difference between the two. In addition, the average error rate measured by both groups by 3DRA was measured below ±5% within the tolerance error rate (±10%), and most of CTA was measured within the tolerance range (±10%), but showed an average error rate of up to 5.65%, and the independent sample T-test result was statistically more accurate than 3DRA. Both the 3DRA method and the brain CTA method for measuring cerebrovascular size could be accurately measured within tolerance, but it would be better to measure cerebrovascular blood vessels using a more accurate 3DRA method during cerebrovascular intervention.
