인천 ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$지역의 연약지반에 시공된 변단면 연약지반보강기초(Variable cross-section soft ground reinforced foundation)의 연직압축거동을 분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 원지반과 고화재를 혼합교반하여 형성되는 고형체의 높은 강성과 강도를 이용하여 상부구조물로부터 유발되는 연약하중을 효과적으로 저항하기 위하여 시공된다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 군말뚝 형식으로 시공이 되는데, 정확한 연직거동을 알기 위하여 1개소의 기초에 대한 연직재하시험을 수행하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초의 거동을 일반적인 깊은 기초의 거동과 비교하기 위하여 유사한 천층지반조건에 시공된 PHC 파일의 재하시험 결과와 비교하여 재하하중에 따른 침하량 및 하중전이 거동특성을 분석하였다. 연직재하시험결과를 비교분석하였다. 변단면 연약지반보강기초는 제한된 범위의 연직하중에 대하여 천층에서도 효율적으로 저항하는 것으로 분석되었다.

Multigroup cross section (MG XS) generation by the UNIST in-house Monte Carlo (MC) code MCS for fast reactor analysis using nodal diffusion codes is reported. The feasibility of the approach is quantified for two sodium fast reactors (SFRs) specified in the OECD/NEA SFR benchmark: a 1000 MW_th metal-fueled SFR (MET-1000) and a 3600 MW_th oxide-fueled SFR (MOX-3600). The accuracy of a few-group XSs generated by MCS is verified using another MC code, Serpent 2. The neutronic steady-state whole-core problem is analyzed using MCS/RAST-K with a 24-group XS set. Various core parameters of interest (core k_eff, power profiles, and reactivity feedback coefficients) are obtained using both MCS/RAST-K and MCS. A code-to-code comparison indicates excellent agreement between the nodal diffusion solution and stochastic solution; the error in the core k_eff is less than 110 pcm, the root-mean-square error of the power profiles is within 1.0%, and the error of the reactivity feedback coefficients is within three standard deviations. Furthermore, using the super-homogenization-corrected XSs improves the prediction accuracy of the control rod worth and power profiles with all rods in. Therefore, the results demonstrate that employing the MCS MG XSs for the nodal diffusion code is feasible for high-fidelity analyses of fast reactors.

Possible cross-transmission of hospital-associated enterococci between human patients, medical staff, and hospital environments has been extensively studied. However, limited information is available for veterinary hospital-associated Enterococcus isolates. This study investigated the possibility of cross-transmission of antibiotic-resistant enterococci between dog patients, their owners, veterinary staff, and hospital environments. Swab samples (n=465) were obtained from five veterinary hospitals in Seoul, Korea, during 2011. Forty-three Enterococcus strains were isolated, representing seven enterococcal species. E. faecalis and E. faecium were the most dominant species (16 isolates each, 37.2%). Although slight differences in the antibiotic resistance profiles were observed between the phenotypic and the genotypic data, our antibiogram analysis demonstrated high prevalence of the multiple drug-resistant (MDR) isolates of E. faecalis (10/16 isolates, 62.5%) and E. faecium (12/16 isolates, 75.0%). Pulsed-field gel electrophoretic comparison of the MDR isolates revealed three different clonal sets of E. faecalis and a single set of E. faecium, which were isolated from different sample groups or dog patients at the same or two separate veterinary hospitals. These results imply a strong possibility of cross-transmission of the antibiotic-resistant enterococcal species between animal patients, owners, veterinary staff, and hospital environments.

This study was designed to investigate the median nerve cross-sectional area of the upper extremity which is the main cause of CTS in the 20s and 30s. The median nerve cross-sectional area (MNC-area) of each part of the upper limb was measured in healthy 20s and 30s females and males without neurological diseases or other diseases. This MNC-area was compared with the hand, wrist, finger, and other body indexes. The research group was divided into 20s female and male groups, and the 30s were also divided into female and male groups. In the comparison between the ages, the hand, and wrist configurations in the 30s were significantly higher than those of the 20s. The mean median nerve cross-sectional area was significantly larger in the male group than in the female group in both 20s and 30s, and it was larger in both men and women than in the 20s. Hand and wrist configurations were also positively correlated with the median nerve cross-sectional area in both 20s and 30s. The median values of hand ratio and wrist ratio were 2.26 and 0.65, respectively. This median value of hand ratio was inversely correlated with the median nerve cross-sectional area. The median nerve cross-area of the 20s was 6.88~7.38 ㎟ in the male group and 5.69~6.99 ㎟ in the female group, respectively. The median nerve cross-area of the 30s was 6.32~8.89 ㎟ in the male group and 6.15~7.17 ㎟ in the female group, respectively. The mean median nerve cross-sectional area was positively correlated with body mass index in both groups. Most of the variables were higher in their 30s than in their 20s.

In this study, we compared the analysis results before and after the detrending for the data. According to the comparison results, correlation functions were not much changed while autocorrelation and spectral density functions were largely varied. Especially, time series data with a long-term variation trend showed a distinctive difference. This study demonstrated a usefulness of the detrending for a further analysis.

In this paper we propose a method for verifying video in a video telephony system implemented in DM6446 DaVinci Processor. Each frame is categorized either error free frame or error frame depending on the predefined criteria. Human face is chosen as a basic means for authenticating the video frame. Skin color based algorithm is implemented for detecting the face in the video frame. The video frame is classified as error free frame if there is single face object with clear view of facial features (eyes, nose, mouth etc.) and the background of the image frame is not different then the predefined background, otherwise it will be classified as error frame. We also implemented the image histogram based NCC (Normalized Cross Correlation) comparison for video verification to speed up the system. The experimental result shows that the system is able to classify frames with 90.83% of accuracy.

Digital content piracy has been shown to be an emerging societal problem, However, Studies on digital content piracy are very limited. In this paper, we try to find whether Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB) can explain the online digital content piracy in China. In addition to the finding of TPB's usefulness, We also examine the cross-cultural differences between Korea and China in behavior towards online digital content piracy. we argue that cultural factors moderate the strength of the relationships in the TPB model in online digital content piracy. we use a theoretical model of behavior based on the framework of the TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior) and Hofstede's national cultural dimensions. Our results indicate that the general TPB(Theory of Planned Behavior) model of software piracy is broadly applicable to digital content piracy in China. Our findings also show that most of the hypothesized moderating effects of national cultural factors were found to be significant.

Current lead is a device that connects the power supply and superconducting magnets. High temperature superconductor (HTS) has lower thermal conductivity and higher current density than normal metal. For these reasons, the heat load can be reduced by replacing the normal metal of the current lead with the HTS. Conventional HTS current lead has same cross-sectional area in the axial direction. However, this is over-designed at the cold-end (4.2 K) in terms of current. The heat load can be reduced by reducing this part because the heat load is proportional to the cross-sectional area. Therefore, in this paper, heat load was calculated from the heat diffusion equation of HTS current leads with uniform and non-uniform cross-sectional areas. The cross-sectional area of the warm-end (65K) is designed considering burnout time when cooling system failure occurs. In cold-end, Joule heat and heat load due to current conduction occurs at the same time, so the cross-sectional area where the sum of the two heat is minimum is obtained. As a result of simulation, current leads for KSTAR TF coils with uniform and non-uniform cross-sectional areas were designed, and it was confirmed that the non-uniform cross-sectional areas could further reduce the heat load.

본 연구의 목적은 다른문화권 간에 경관이 지닌 전형성과 그 경관에 대한 시각적 선호성의 관계를 확인하고, 여기에 지역간 혹은 문화간 차이가 존재하는 지를 비교해 보는데 있다. 영국과 한국의 전형적 자연경관을 선별하기 위하여 영국의 케이른고럼스 국립공원과 한국의 지리산 국립공원의 사진이 이용되었다. 이에 대한 자연경관 선호를 측정하기 위하여 케이른고럼스 국립공원 및 지리산 국립공원 방문자에 대한 사진설문 조사가 실행되었다. 연구의 결과, 두 집단 모두 연령과 방문횟수가 유의한 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 케이른고럼스 국립공원 응답자의 경우 지리산 국립공원 응답자에 비하여 방문 빈도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 전형성과 선호성의 관계에 있어서는, 지리산 자연경관의 전형성이 높은 경우에 이에 대한 시각적 선호성도 높게 나타났으나, 반면에 케이른고럼스 경관의 전형성이 높은 경우에는 시각적 선호성이 오히려 낮게 나타났다. 즉, 자연경관의 전형성과 시각적 선호성 사이에는 유의한 관계가 성립하지만, 문화집단간 그 정도의 방향은 다르게 나타났다.
