본 연구의 목적은 가돌리늄 조영제를 사용한 Head & Neck MR Angio검사에 있어서 매개변수인 FA(Flip Angle)이 MR신호에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보고자 하였으며, 이에 따른 FA의 적정 값을 제시하는 것이다. 실험은 FA증가에 따른 MR팬텀실험과 임상실험으로 진행하였고, 이에 대한 정량적 분석이 이루어졌다. 실험결과 팬텀실험에서의 조영증강 반응시작 지점인 RSP(Reaction Starting Point)는 FA증가에 따라 300~400 mmol 사이에서 반응하였고, 최대 신호강도인 MPSI(Max Peak Signal Intensity)는 2,086, 3,705, 5,109, 6,194, 7.096, 7,192 [a.u]를 기록하였다. MPSI가 형성되는 몰농도 지점인 MPP(Max Peak Point)는 FA에 증가에 따라 40, 50, 50, 40, 50, 40 mmol에서 보였으며, MPSI의 증가율인 IRMPSI(Increase Rate of MPSI)는 77.6%, 37.9%, 21.2%, 14.6%, 1.4%임을 확인하였다. 임상실험에서의 평가기준인 SICB(Signal Intensity of Carotid artery Bifurcation)는 FA증가에 따라 각 평균값 2392.5, 4165.2, 4270, 3502.2, 3263.7, 3119.6 [a.u]를 기록하였고, 아티팩트 발생율인 ORA(Occurence Rate of Artifact)는 0, 0, 20, 40, 50, 70%로 점차 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 FA의 증가는 혈관 내 가돌리늄과 결합한 H1스핀의 신호강도와 아티팩트에 영향을 미친다는 사실을 확인하였고, 이는 실제 임상에서의 CE(Contrast Enhanced)-Head&Neck MR Angio검사에 있어서 본 연구의 데이터를 활용한다면 진단학적으로 효율적인 MR Angiography 영상을 구현할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The objective of the present study is to visualize the pulsatile flow fields by using three-dimensional computer simulation and the PIV system. A closed flow loop system was built for the steady and unsteady experiments. The Harvard pulsatile pump was used to generate the pulsatile pressure and velocity waveforms. Conifer powder as the tracing particles was added to water to visualize the flow field. Two consecutive particle images were captured by a CCO camera for the image processing at several cross section. The range validation and the area interpolation methods were used to obtain the final velocity vectors with high accuracy. The finite volume predictions were used to analyze three-dimensional flow patterns in the bifurcation model. The results of the PIV experiment and the computer simulation are in good agreement and the results show the recirculation zones and formation of the paired secondary flow distal to the apex of the bifurcated model. The results also show that the branch flow is pushed strongly to the inner wall due to the inertial force effect and helical motions are generated as the flow proceeds toward the outer wall.

The objective of this study is to get simulation data about pulsatile flow around an interior solid body inside a bifurcated tube. All the processes were based on CFD method, with a commercial FVM code, SC/Tetra ver. 6.0 for solving, and with CATIA R16 for generating geometries. The bifurcated tube models were drawn with the bifurcated angle of 45 degrees, considering Murray's law about the diameter ratio. With various locations of the object, the effects of flow on the drag were considered. For the pulsating flow condition, the velocity wave profile was given as the inlet boundary condition. To validate all the result, the simulation was compared with the existing data of the other papers first. Overall flow field of both data were similar, but there was some difference at a zero velocity. Therefore the next simulation was continued with the sine wave profiles where there is no negative flow, and then the data was compared with one of the pulmonary artery velocity where there is negative flow. The final process was to calculate flow variables such as the wall shear stress (WSS) and to compute the drag of the solid object.

In this paper, we establish a two-competitive-prey and one-predator Holling type II system by introducing a proportional periodic impulsive harvesting for all species and a constant periodic releasing, or immigrating, for the predator at different fixed time. We show the boundedness of the system and find conditions for the local and global stabilities of two-prey-free periodic solutions by using Floquet theory for the impulsive differential equation, small amplitude perturbation skills and comparison techniques. Also, we prove that the system is permanent under some conditions and give sufficient conditions under which one of the two preys is extinct and the remaining two species are permanent. In addition, we take account of the system with seasonality as a periodic forcing term in the intrinsic growth rate of prey population and then find conditions for the stability of the two-prey-free periodic solutions and for the permanence of this system. We discuss the complex dynamical aspects of these systems via bifurcation diagrams.

파형강판은 파형 형상으로 가공된 강판으로 높은 면내, 면외 방향의 강성을 갖으며, 건물, 교량 등으로 적용도가 높아지고 있다. 파형강판을 플레이트 거더나 프리스트레스트 박스거더교의 복부판으로 적용하면, 파형강판의 아코디언 효과에 의해 플랜지가 휨응력을 복부판이 전단응력을 대부분 지지하는 효율적인 구조를 얻을 수 있다. 전단응력을 받는 파형 강판은 전체좌굴, 국부좌굴 및 연성좌굴에 의해 내하력을 상실할 수 있다. 세 가지 좌굴 모드 중 연성 좌굴에 대한 명확한 분석은 거의 이루어지지 않았고 보수적인 강도 예측을 위한 강도 감소식이 사용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 연성 좌굴 거동에 미치는 기하학적인 인자들의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 유한요소해석법을 이용한 좌굴해석이 수행되었다. 해석 결과는 연성 좌굴은 패널의 세장비와 북부판 높이 두께비의 복합변수에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다.

This research deals with the influence of nonlinearities associated with impact and sliding upon the rocking behavior of a rigid block, which is subjected to two-dimensional horizontal and vertical excitation. Nonlinearities in the vibration were found to depend strongly on the effect of the impact between the block and the base, which involves an abrupt reduction in the system's kinetic energy. In particular, when sliding occurs, the rocking behavior is substantially changed. Response analysis using a non-dimensional rocking equation was carried out for a variety of excitation levels and excitation frequencies. The chaos responses were observed over a wide response region, particularly, in the cases of high vertical displacement and violent sliding motion, and the chaos characteristics appear in the time histories, Poincare maps, power spectra and Lyapunov exponents of the rocking responses. The complex behavior of chaotic response, in phase space, is illustrated by the Poincare map. The distribution of the rocking response is described by bifurcation diagrams and the effects of sliding motion are examined through the several rocking response examples.

This paper deals with the extension of and discussion on the System Dynamics model (Jeong & Jeon, 2005) of river crabs in Korea. The previous model has been elaborated to empirically search for the optimal restoration and harvest rates of crabs in the Imjin River, on the basis of theoretical models of population dynamics in the field of bio-mathematics and environmental economics. In this paper, the authors tries to couple a series of new feedback loops related to density restrictions and cannibalistic behaviors with a stage-structured model of the crab ecosystem, and also to endogenize the parameter of baby crabs' survival that is caused by water quality improvement and income increase. Through these extensions and relaxations, the authors are able to argue about the strategic decision of the optimal rates additional considerations as well as the properties of the integrated system that was not covered in the previous paper.

본 논문에서는 쉘형 스페이스 프레임 구조물의 구조 불안정 특성을 조사한다. 대공간 구조물은 대경간을 가볍게 만들기 위해 두께비를 얇게 만들어야 하므로, 구조설계시 구조불안정 검토가 중요하다. 쉘형 구조물의 구조불안정은 다양한 조건에 따라 민감하게 반응하며, 이는 대변형을 수반하는 비선형 문제에 귀착하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 수치해석 기법을 통하여 쉘형 스페이스 프레임 구조물의 하중 및 경계조건에 따른 불안정 거동을 비교하고, 불안정 현상에 미치는 영향을 파악하여 기초적인 붕괴 메커니즘을 규명한다.

This paper investigates the characteristics of unstable behaviour and critical buckling load by joint rigidity of framed large spatial structures which are sensitive to initial conditions. To distinguish the stable from the unstable, a singular point on equilibrium path and a critical buckling level are computed by the eigenvalues and determinants of the tangential stiffness matrix. For the case study, a two-free node example and a folded plate typed long span example with 325 nodes are adopted, and these adopted examples' nonlinear analysis and unstable characteristics are analyzed. The numerical results in the case of the two-free node example indicate that as the influence of snap-through is bigger; that of bifurcation buckling is lower than that of the joint rigidity as the influence of snap-through is lower. Besides, when the rigidity decreases, the critical buckling load ratio increases. These results are similar to those of the folded-typed long span example. When the buckling load ratio is 0.6 or less, the rigidity greatly increases.

협착이 발생된 관상동맥의 치료를 위해 외과적인 수술방법으로는 이식우회로술이 많이 사용된다. 이식우회로술 시술 시 개존율 향상을 위해서는 최적의 혈관 문합 시술에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 Y-grafting bypass 와 T-grafting bypass 시술의 효과와 분지각도 및 문합각도 변화에 따른 문합효과를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 기하학적 형상을 최적화하고 각각의 기하학적 형상에 대해 혈류역학적 특성을 비교분석하였다. 이식혈관의 분지각도와 문합각도가 각각 $30^{\circ}$와 $15^{\circ}$일 경우에 LAD 와 LCX 쪽 모두 혈류량이 고르게 분배됨을 확인하였다.
