  • 본 연구에서는 도심지 지하철 터널의 콘크리트 라이닝에 계측센서를 설치하여 터널 내부의 온도변화에 따른 콘크리트 라이닝의 거동을 분석하였다. 계측결과, 터널 내부의 온도변화에 따라 콘크리트 라이닝의 응력과 내공변위, 균열이 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 균열의 경우, 온도변화에 따라 수축과 팽창이 이루어지고 있으나 균열의 크기와 상태에 따라 변화의 폭이 다른 것으로 나타났다. 또한 온도변화에 따른 콘크리트 라이닝의 수치해석을 통하여 터널 내부 온도변화에 따른 콘크리트 라이닝 응력과 내공변위의 보정식을 제안하였다. 본 연구 결과는 도심지 지하철 터널 내부의 온도변화에 따른 거동 파악 및 온도변화를 고려한 터널의 유지관리에 크게 활용될 것이다.

  • A down hole vertical seismic array is a sequence of instruments installed at various depths in the earth to record the ground motion at multiple points during an earthquake. Numerous studies demonstrate the unique utility of vertical seismic arrays for studying in situ site response and soil behavior. Examples are given of analyses made at two sites to show the value of data from vertical seismic arrays. The sites examined are the Lotung, Taiwan SMART1 array and a new site installed at Jingliao, Taiwan. Details of the installation of the Jingliao array are given. ARX models are theoretically the correct process models for vertical wave propagation in the layered earth, and are used to linearly map deeper sensor input signals to shallower sensor output signals. An example of Event 16 at the Lotung array is given. This same data, when examined in detail with a Bayesian inference model, can also be explained by nonlinear filters yielding commonly accepted soil degradation curves. Results from applying an ARMAX model to data from the Jingliao vertical seismic array are presented. Estimates of inter-transducer soil increment resonant frequency, shear modulus, and damping ratio are presented. The shear modulus varied from 50 to 150 MPa, and damping ratio between 8% and 15%. A new hardware monitoring system - TerraScope - is an affordable 4-D down-hole seismic monitoring system based on independent, microprocessor-controlled sensor Pods. The Pods are nominally 50 mm in diameter, and about 120 mm long. An internal 16-bit micro-controller oversees all aspects of instrumentation, eight programmable gain amplifiers, and local signal storage.

  • Resin flow, symptom development, and lignin biosynthesis in response to wounding and fungal inoculation were investigated in Pinus rigida and Pinus densiflora. The two-year-old seedling stems were subjected to three types of treatments: (i) wounding without inoculation, (ii) wound-inoculation with a conidial suspension of Fusarium circinatum, and (iii) pre-wounding woundinoculation with the fungus 20 days after the initial wounding. Resin flow from wounding sites was more evident in P. rigida than P. densiflora in all treatments. The wound-inoculation with the fungus induced almost two-fold higher levels of resin flow than the other treatments in both species. The pre-wounding woundinoculation appeared to result in a decrease in pitch canker development in the two pine species. Some reductions in disease severity were observed in the prewounding wound-inoculated P. rigida, showing a mean disease severity of less than 85%, compared with approximately 100% in the wound-inoculated stems. Disease severity was approximately 50% in the woundinoculated P. densiflora, whereas 10% in the pre-wounding wound-inoculated stems. Higher amounts of lignin were found from bark (ca. 40%) than from xylem (ca. 30%). The wound-inoculated bark and the pre-wounding wound-inoculated bark exhibited higher amounts of lignin among the other treatments. These results suggest that the wound-inoculation apparently prompt the increase in resin flow and lignin biosynthesis from the two pine species, and the prior wounding may be involved in decreased disease severity against the further invasion of F. circinatum.

  • Regression models for determining infection periods of apple white rot were developed based on conidial germination and appressorium formation of Botryosphaeria dothidea. A total of 120 apple fruits were inoculated with the fungal conidial suspension and subjected to 6 temperatures and 10 wetness periods. Conidia germinated and produced appressoria, exhibiting swollen tips of germ tubes on the fruit surface. Conidial germination (G) increased with temperature (T) and wetness period (W), and was described as $G=-89.273+7.649T+7.056W-0.109T^{2}-0.085W^{2}-0.066TW(R^{2}=0.75)$. Less than 2 hr of wetness period were enough for conidia to germinate at 25 to $30^{\circ}C$. Effects of temperature and wetness period on appressorium formation (A) could be explained as $A=-1.540-2.375W+0.045W^{2}+0.213TW(R^{2}=0.77)$. The relationship between conidial germination and appressorium formation ($A_g$) was described as$A_g=0.381-0.227G+0.005G^{2}(R^{2}=0.67)$, suggesting that conidial germination may have to reach approximately $43.7\%$ to initiate appressorium formation. Using the regression equation for conidial germination and the criterion of $43.7\%$ conidial germination, an infection model was developed to determine infection periods based on temperature and wetness period. The infection model with the criterion of $43.7\%$ conidial germination was apparently more conservative than the appressorium formation model in determining possibility of apple infection. The infection model seemed sensitive to variable weather conditions, suggesting possible use of the model for timing fungicide sprays to control white rot of apples in practice.

  • 최근들어 강우-유출 현상에 관한 비선형 모델링에 관하여 많은 연구가 있어 왔는데, 그 중에서도 신경망을 이용한 결과는 매우 성공적인 것으로 보고되어 왔다. 선형 구조가 갖는 근본적인 한계성으로 인하여, 이 분야에 선형 모델을 활용하는 것은 신경망을 사용하는 경우에 비하여 불리할 것으로 여겨지곤 한다. 하지만 우리는, 선형 모델의 경우 주어진 문제가 갖는 근본적 동특성의 원리를 보다 잘 이해할 수 있도록 해주므로, 적절한 확장 과정을 거치면 선형 임펄스 응답의 개념은 매우 경쟁력 있는 도구가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각한다. 이러한 생각에 따라, 본 논문에서 우리는 복수의 임펄스 응답의 이용을 강우-유출 해석의 문제에 적용하는 방안을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 복수의 임펄스 응답 모델 사이에 적용되는 단순하고 고정된 스위칭 전략에 기반을 두고 있으며, 각 임펄스 응답은 음이 아닌 성분을 갖도록 하고, 동시에 한개의 봉우리만 갖는 형태를 만족하도록 한다. 우리나라의 특정한 지역의 수문기상학 자료를 대상으로 하여 적용해 본 결과, 제안된 방법은 매우 의미 있는 결과를 제공함을 보여주었다.

  • 이 연구는 대표적인 속성수인 이태리 포플러와 자작나무가 쓰레기 매립지주변의 조림 수종으로서 적당한가를 평가하기 위해서 수행되었다. 두 수종 묘목에 대한 침출수 관수 효과를 알아보기 위해서 침출수 원액, 50% 침출수, 25% 침출수 그리고 대조구(수도물) 등 4가지 침출수로 다르게 희석하여 약 3개월 정도 관수했다. 이태리 포플러와 자작나무 공통적으로 묘고, 근원경, 물질생산량 모두 침출수 원액을 관수한 처리구가 다른 처리구보다 좋았다. 침출수 원액으로 관수한 묘목의 엽록소 지수, 광합성능력, 증산량이 수도물로 관수한 대조구보다 모두 유의하게 높음을 보여주었다. 이는 비록 3개월이라는 짧은 기간의 결과이긴 하지만, 이들 두 수종은 매립지 주변의 조림, 복구를 위해서 좋은 추천 수종임을 보여주고 있다.

  • Low-power radio frequency (RF) chip transceiver technology and the associated structural health monitoring platforms have matured recently to enable high-rate, lossless transmission of measurement data across large-scale sensor networks. The intrinsic value of these advanced capabilities is the allowance for high-quality, rapid operational modal analysis of in-service structures using distributed accelerometers to experimentally characterize the dynamic response. From the analysis afforded through these dynamic data sets, structural identification techniques can then be utilized to develop a well calibrated finite element (FE) model of the structure for baseline development, extended analytical structural evaluation, and load response assessment. This paper presents a case study in which operational modal analysis is performed on a three-span prestressed reinforced concrete bridge using a wireless sensor network. The low-power wireless platform deployed supported a high-rate, lossless transmission protocol enabling real-time remote acquisition of the vibration response as recorded by twenty-nine accelerometers at a 256 Sps sampling rate. Several instrumentation layouts were utilized to assess the global multi-span response using a stationary sensor array as well as the spatially refined response of a single span using roving sensors and reference-based techniques. Subsequent structural identification using FE modeling and iterative updating through comparison with the experimental analysis is then documented to demonstrate the inherent value in dynamic response measurement across structural systems using high-rate wireless sensor networks.

  • Background: Ginseng is one of the well-known medicinal plants, exhibiting diverse medicinal effects. Its roots possess anticancer and antiaging properties and are being used in the medical systems of East Asian countries. It is grown in low-light and low-temperature conditions, and its growth is strongly inhibited at temperatures above $25^{\circ}C$. However, the molecular responses of ginseng to heat stress are currently poorly understood, especially at the protein level. Methods: We used a shotgun proteomics approach to investigate the effect of heat stress on ginseng leaves. We monitored their photosynthetic efficiency to confirm physiological responses to a high-temperature stress. Results: The results showed a reduction in photosynthetic efficiency on heat treatment ($35^{\circ}C$) starting at 48 h. Label-free quantitative proteome analysis led to the identification of 3,332 proteins, of which 847 were differentially modulated in response to heat stress. The MapMan analysis showed that the proteins with increased abundance were mainly associated with antioxidant and translation-regulating activities, whereas the proteins related to the receptor and structural-binding activities exhibited decreased abundance. Several other proteins including chaperones, G-proteins, calcium-signaling proteins, transcription factors, and transfer/carrier proteins were specifically downregulated. Conclusion: These results increase our understanding of heat stress responses in the leaves of ginseng at the protein level, for the first time providing a resource for the scientific community.

  • Natural hazards like earthquakes, high winds, and tsunami are a threat all the time for multi-story structures. The environmental forces cannot be clogged but the structures can be prevented from these natural hazards by using protective systems. The structural control can be achieved by using protective systems like the passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid protective systems; but the semi-active protective system has gained importance because of its adaptability to the active systems and reliability of the passive systems. Therefore, a semi-active protective system for the earthquake forces has been adopted in this work. Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is used in the structure as a semi-active protective system; which is connected to the current driver and proposed controller. The Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller and reliable PID controller are two proposed controllers, which will actuate the MR damper and the desired force is generated to mitigate the vibration of the structural response subjected to the earthquake. PID controller and reliable PID controller are designed and tuned using Ziegler-Nichols tuning technique along with the MR damper simulated in Simulink toolbox and MATLAB to obtain the reduced vibration in a three-story benchmark structure. The earthquake is considered to be uncertain; where the proposed control algorithm works well during the presence of earthquake; this paper considers robustness to provide satisfactory resilience against this uncertainty. In this work, two different earthquakes are considered like El-Centro and Northridge earthquakes for simulation with different controllers. In this paper performances of the structure with and without two controllers are compared and results are discussed.
