태양흑점폭발로 인해 방출되는 코로나 물질은 지자기 교란을 일으킨다. 대규모 지자기 교란으로 인한 유도전류는 변압기 손상을 일으킬 수 있다. 이러한 유도전류를 산출하기 위해 먼저 유도전기장을 산출해야 한다. 푸리에 변환 방법을 적용한 유도전기장 산출방법은 정확도가 높으나, 1일 24시간 동안의 관측 데이터가 필요하다. 반면, 적분 공식을 적용한 유도전기장 산출방법은 실시간 데이터로 산출이 가능하나, 정확도 확인이 요구된다. 이 논문에서 적분 구간을 조정하여 푸리에 변환 방법의 결과값과 오차를 줄이고자 하였다. 그 결과, 적분 공식을 적용한 유도전기장 예상값은 푸리에 변환방법의 예상값과 상관성이 높았으며, 적분 공식으로 산출한 유도전류 예상값은 유도전류 관측값과 시간 동기 및 방향이 일치하고, 그 크기가 오차 범위 1 A 이하에서 92 % 이상 일치함을 확인하였다.

We developed a three-dimensional (3D) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation code to reproduce the structure of a solar wind and the propagation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) through it. This code is constructed by a finite volume method based on a total variation diminishing (TVD) scheme using an unstructured grid system (Tanaka 1994). The grid system can avoid the singularity arising in the spherical coordinate system. In this study, we made an improvement of the code focused on the propagation of a CME through a solar wind, which extends a previous work done by Nakamizo et al. (2009). We first reconstructed a solar wind in a steady state from physical values obtained at 50 solar radii away from the Sun via an MHD tomography applied to interplanetary scintillation (IPS) data (Hayashi et al. 2003). We selected CR2057 and inserted a spheromak-type CME (Kataoka et al. 2009) into a reconstructed solar wind. As a result, we found that our simulation well captures the velocity, temperature and density profiles of an observed solar wind. Furthermore, we successfully reproduce the general characteristics of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) obtained by the Helios 1/2 spacecraft (R. J. FORSYTH et al. 2006).

본 논문은 추운 겨울 자동차 앞면 유리에 생기는 성에를 제거하는 워셔액 가열시스템의 가열과 분사에 따른 온도변화 특성에 관한 연구이다. 지금까지 다른 연구에서는 워셔액 가열시스템에 대한 온도 변화 특성을 간단한 수학적 모델링을 통하여 분석하였으나 본 연구에서는 워셔액 가열시스템의 보다 더 최적화된 제어시스템 설계를 위해 워셔액 가열시스템의 시간에 따른 열유동 특성 변화를 전산유체해석(CFD)을 통해 파악하기로 한다. 이를 위해서 워셔액 가열시스템의 주요 부분인 히터와 워셔액에 대한 비정상상태 해석을 수행하고 워셔액 전체의 온도 변화 특성을 분석하였다. 이를 토대로 워셔액의 가열시간과 분사시 온도 특성을 파악하여 워셔액 가열시스템의 최적설계의 기본자료로 활용하도록 하였다.

안전밸브는 정압기지 내에 정압기의 파괴 또는 관 내 수분의 응축 등으로 인한 관내 압력의 비정상적인 증가를 자동적으로 완화시켜주는 메커니즘을 가지고 있는 밸브이다. 따라서 정압기지의 안전을 위해서 안전밸브의 유동 특성과 유동 형태를 살펴보는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문은 안전밸브의 분출용량과 필요분출면적에 따른 유동 특성을 수치해석을 통해서 분석하였다. 본 결과를 국내 외 안전밸브 관련 규정인 미국의 API(America Petroleum Institute), 유럽 연합의 EN(European Standard), 프랑스의 NF(Norme Francise)를 이용하여 분석, 비교하였다. 또한 안전밸브의 최대 필요 분출 면적을 이용하여 국내 및 국외 규정을 각각 적용하였을 때의 안전밸브의 필요 설치 수량에 대한 고찰을 해보았다.

Background: We evaluated the efficacy of Cox-maze IV procedure using bipolar irrigated radiofrequency ablation and cryothermy in chronic atrial fibrillation associated with valvular heart disease. Material and Methods: From November 2005 to June 2009, ninety four patients have undergone valvular heart surgery with Cox-maze IV procedure. Preoperative duration of atrial fibrillation was $7.6{\pm}6.5$ years and follow-up duration was $22.7{\pm}12.3$ months. Results: There were two (2.1%) postoperative deaths not related to maze procedure. Two cerebrovascular accidents, five low cardiac output syndromes and two permanent pacemaker implantations have occurred after surgery. Preoperative ejection fraction on echocardiography was $55.3{\pm}8.1%$ and ejection fraction of postoperative six month was $54.7{\pm}6.5%$. Left atrial size of preoperative and postoperative were $61.5{\pm}11.6\;mm$ and $53.1{\pm}8.4\;mm$ at each. Freedom from atrial fibrillation rate at postoperative six-month was 80.7% and the cases of recurrence of atrial fibrillation after six months were three (3.3%). Risk factors for failure or recurrence of maze procedure were old age (p=.010) and preoperative moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (p=.033). Conclusion: The Cox-maze IV procedure using RFBP2 and cryothermy is quite safe and freedom from atrial fibrillation at postoperative 6 month was 82.5%. Risk factors for failure or recurrence of atrial fibrillation after Cox-maze IV were old age and preoperative over moderate tricuspid regurgitation.

Various urodynamic studies have been used in patients with bladder outlet obstruction in order to evaluate the degree of obstruction, the results of therapy and postprostatectomy conditions. Radionuclide urodynamic study was performed in 27 patients with bladder outlet obstruction and 30 normal controls. The parameters evaluated were voiding time, 50% voiding time, average flow rate, peak flow rate, corrected peak flow rate, ejection fraction of the bladder and residual urine. Voiding time, 50% voiding time and residual urine of patients were significantly larger than controls and average flow rate, Peak flow rate, peak corrected flow rate and ejection fraction were significantly lower in patients. This method was noninvasive procedure for determining of voiding parameters and it avoids the extraexamination needs to determine the residual urine.

Therapeutic hypothermia(TH) improves neurological outcomes and reduces mortality among survivors of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Animal and human studies have shown that TH results in improved salvage of the myocardium, reduced infarct size, reduced left ventricular remodeling and better long-term left ventricular function in settings of regional myocardial ischemia. This study is to investigate the effect of TH on post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and survival time after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in a rat model of myocardial infarction (MI). Thoracotomies were performed in 10 Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 450-550 g. MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD). Ninety min after LAD ligation, ventricular fibrillation induction and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed before defibrillation attempts. Animals were randomized to two groups: a) Acute MI-Normothermia b) Acute MI-Hypothermia ($32^{\circ}C$ for 4 h). Myocardial functions, including cardiac output, left ventricular ejection fraction, and myocardial performance index were measured echocardiographically together with duration of survival. Ejection fraction, cardiac output and myocardial performance index were $54.74{\pm}9.16$, $89.00{\pm}8.89$, $1.30{\pm}0.09$ respectively and significantly better in the TH group than those of the normothermic group at the first 4 h after resuscitation($32.20{\pm}1.85$,$41.60{\pm}8.62$,$1.77{\pm}0.19$)(p=0.00). The survival time of the hypothermic group ($31.8{\pm}14.8$ h) was greater than that of the normothermic group($12.3{\pm}6.5$ h, p<0.05). This study suggested that TH attenuated post resuscitation myocardial dysfunction in acute MI and would be a potential strategy in post resuscitation care.

Purpose: This study examined the influence of the maximal aerobic capacity on the two-year cardiac-related re-hospitalization in patients with heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Korean society. Methods: The maximal aerobic capacity of the study population (n=95, male 63%) was evaluated using a cardiopulmonary exercise (CPX) testing system. Each patient was followed up for two years to divide the HFrEF patients into two groups according to cardiac-related re-hospitalization: re-hospitalization (RH) group (n=29, 30%) and no re-hospitalization (NRH) group (n=66, 70%). Results: The relative peak $VO_2$ (mL/kg/min, p<0.001), exercise duration (p<0.001), respiratory exchange ratio ($VCO_2/VO_2$, p=0.001), systolic blood pressure (SBP) reserve (p=0.004), heart rate (HR) reserve (p=0.007), SBP max (p=0.02), and HR max (p=0.039) were significantly lower in the RH group than the NRH group during the CPX test. On the other hand, the ventilatory efficiency (VE/VCO2 slope, p=0.02) and age (p=0.022) were significantly higher in the RH group than in the NRH group. In binary logistic regression analysis, the relative peak $VO_2$ (p=0.001, Wald Chi-square 10.137) was the strongest predictive factor on cardiac-related re-hospitalization, which was followed by $VCO_2/VO_2$ (p=0.019, Wald Chi-square 5.54). On the other hand, age (p=0.063, Wald Chi-square 3.445) did not have a significant influence on cardiac related re-hospitalization. Conclusion: The maximal aerobic capacity, especially the relative peak $VO_2$, is the strongest factor on cardiac-related re-hospitalization within two years in patients with HFrEF in Korean society.

본 연구에서는 유도탄 사출관 내부의 수치모사를 통해 이상 유동에 대한 열 유체역학적 분석을 수행하였다. 고정된 해석영역에서 계산이 진행되었고 증발이 완료된 물을 냉각제로 사용하였다. 고온의 공기와 냉각제간의 상호작용 및 유동장을 해석하기 위해, Realizable $k-{\varepsilon}$ 난류 모델과 VOF (Volume Of Fluid) 모델을 선정하고 냉각제 유량에 따른 수치 해석을 진행하였다. 해석결과, 사출관 상부 압력은 냉각제 유량에 따라 비선형적으로 증가하였다. 그리고 내부에서의 유동 진행 과정과 온도분포, 냉각제분포가 밀접한 연관이 있음을 확인하였다. 사출관 하부의 초기 온도는 냉각제량의 증가에 비례하여 감소하지만, 특정시간 이후 경향이 역전되면서 오히려 온도의 상승을 유발하였다. 또한, 혼합가스의 순환유동에 의해 초기의 온도변화가 요동하는 경향도 확인되었다.

Background and Objectives: It is controversial that decreased left ventricular function could predict poststroke outcomes. The purpose of this study is to elucidate whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) can predict cardiovascular events and mortality in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) without atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: Transthoracic echocardiography was conducted consecutively in patients with AIS or transient ischemic attack at Soonchunhyang University Hospital between January 2008 and July 2016. The clinical data and echocardiographic LVEF of 1,465 patients were reviewed after excluding AF and CHD. Poststroke disability, major adverse cardiac events (MACE; nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death) and all-cause mortality during 1 year after index stroke were prospectively captured. Cox proportional hazards regressions analysis were applied adjusting traditional risk factors and potential determinants. Results: The mean follow-up time was $259.9{\pm}148.8days$ with a total of 29 non-fatal strokes, 3 myocardial infarctions, 33 cardiovascular deaths, and 53 all-cause mortality. The cumulative incidence of MACE and all-cause mortality were significantly higher in the lowest LVEF (<55) group compared with the others (p=0.022 and 0.009). In prediction models, LVEF (per 10%) had hazards ratios of 0.54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.36-0.80, p=0.002) for MACE and 0.61 (95% CI, 0.39-0.97, p=0.037) for all-cause mortality. Conclusions: LVEF could be an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and mortality after AIS in the absence of AF and CHD.
