The global performance of a 15 MW floating offshore wind turbine, a newly designed semisubmersible floating foundation with multiple heave plates by CNOOC, is investigated with two independent turbine-floater-mooring coupled dynamic analysis programs CHARM3D-FAST and OrcaFlex. The semisubmersible platform hosts IEA 15 MW reference wind turbine modulated for VolturnUS-S and hybrid type (chain-wire-chain with clumps) 3×2 mooring lines targeting the water depth of 100 m. The numerical free-decay simulation results are compared with physical experiments with 1:64 scaled model in 3D wave basin, from which appropriate drag coefficients for heave plates were estimated. The tuned numerical simulation tools were then used for the feasibility and global performance analysis of the FOWT considering the 50-yr-storm condition and maximum operational condition. The effect of tower flexibility was investigated by comparing tower-base fore-aft bending moment and nacelle translational accelerations. It is found that the tower-base bending moment and nacelle accelerations can be appreciably increased due to the tower flexibility.

The paper focuses on the seismic responses of a hyperbolic cooling tower resting on soil foundation represented by the three-parameter Vlasov elastic soil model. The three-parameter soil model eliminates the necessity of field testing to determine soil parameters such as reaction modulus and shear parameter. These parameters are calculated using an iterative procedure depending on the soil surface vertical deformation profile in the model. The soil and tower system are modeled in SAP2000 structural analysis program using a computing tool coded in MATLAB. The tool provides a two-way data transfer between SAP2000 and MATLAB with the help of Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) feature of SAP2000. The response spectrum analyses of the tower system with circular V-shaped supporting columns and annular raft foundation on elastic soil are conducted thanks to the coded tool. The shell and column forces and displacements are presented for different soil conditions and fixed raft base condition to investigate the effects of soil-structure interaction. Numerical results indicate that the flexibility of soil foundation leads to an increase in displacements but a decrease in shell membrane and column forces. Therefore, it can be stated that the consideration of soil-structure interaction in the seismic response analysis of the cooling tower system provides an economical design process.

The purpose of this study was to analyze structural relationships with regard to the effect of customer integration, which is a type of integration in the supply chain, and market orientation of supply chain on the resulting change in the supply chain and management performance. The results of analysis in this study are as follows: First, customer integration and market orientation had a positive effect on reducing the flexibility and uncertainty of SCM. The decreased flexibility and uncertainty of SCM had a positive effect on non-financial performance, which also had a positive effect on financial performance. Second, customer integration and market orientation had a positive effect on financial and non-financial performance indirectly by decreasing the flexibility and uncertainty of SCM. Third, the effect of customer integration and uncertainty of SCM on the flexibility of SCM changed depending on the position in the supply chain; the effect was larger in the distribution group. The implications based on the analysis results are as follows: It is expected that the ability to deal with market changes in the overall supply chain is improved by laying the foundation for cooperation through establishing information infrastructure, including sharing information with trade partners and integrating systems, and implementing customer integration based on these achievements. It is also necessary to consider the business types and characteristics of individual companies in establishing information infrastructure.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the benefits of thoracic manipulation and the trunk stability exercises on spine trunk flexibility and the pain index of chronic low back pain patients. METHODS: The study included 44 patients suffering from chronic low back pain. The participants were divided into two groups: the first group was assigned for trunk stability exercises (TSE), and the second group was randomly assigned TSE and thoracic manipulation at the same time (TSE+TM). Both groups carried out each assigned treatment thrice a week for 8 weeks. The study outcome was based on assessment of spine trunk flexibility and the pain index. Spine trunk flexibility was measured by spine flexion and extension through a range of motion and thoracic cage circumference. The pain index was measured using a visual analog scale (VAS). RESULTS: Spine flexion and extension range of motion showed a significant difference within each group and between the groups before and after the treatment. The measurement of the thoracic cage circumference also showed a notable difference within each group and between the groups before and after the treatment. There was no change in the pain index. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that thoracic manipulation with the trunk stability exercises is an efficient treatment for improving the spine trunk flexibility and soothing pain for chronic low back pain patients.

본 연구에서는 기존 근사해석 프로그램의 간편함을 유지하면서 보다 정밀성이 확보된 3차원 근사해석기법(YS-MAT)을 개발하였다. 전면기초는 6개의 자유도를 가진 평면쉘 요소로 모델링하여 기초의 연성거동을 고려할 수 있도록 하였으며, 지반스프링의 상호작용을 고려할 수 있도록 하였다. 기존의 해석기법, 유한요소해석 및 현장계측값과의 비교 분석 결과, 본 해석기법이 대단면 전면기초의 침하 거동을 비교적 정확히 산정하는 것으로 판단되며, 이러한 검증을 토대로 실제 전면기초 예비설계에 적용 가능함을 확인할 수 있었다.

실무에서 교량 교각의 내진해석을 수행할 때 계산의 편의와 보수적인 설계를 위하여 기초의 연성을 고려하지 않고 지반면을 고정단으로 가정하여 해석하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 고정단 모델은 대부분의 경우 설계력 측면에서 매우 보수적인 결과를 주므로, 최근 기초의 연성을 고려하여 현실적으로 교각 기초를 모델링하려는 연구가 수행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기초연성의 모델링 방법, 입력응답스펙트럼의 종류 그리고 지반조건을 달리하여 응답스펙트럼 해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석을 통하여 교각에 발생하는 전단력, 모멘트 그리고 변위를 비교하여 기초의 연성을 고려하는 기법과 지반 및 지진파 특성들이 해석결과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대부분의 경우 고정단 모델에서 큰 전단력과 모멘트가 발생하였지만, 연약 점성토층에 장주기 지진파가 작용하는 특수한 경우에는 기초의 연성을 고려한 모델에서 고정단 모델보다 큰 전단력과 모멘트가 발생하였다. 또한 기초의 연성을 고려하는 여러 모델들의 해석결과를 지반-구조물 동적 상호작용을 고려한 정밀 동해석 결과와 비교하여 그들의 적용성을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서는 먼저 지표면을 비롯하여 구조물 곳곳에 가속도계가 설치된 깊은 직접기초 구조물 2개를 선정하였다. 이어서 구조물에 기록된 실지진 데이터를 사용하여 주파수 영역에서 Transmissibility 함수를 사용하는 기법으로 기초 위치에서와 자유지표면에서의 지반운동 사이의 차이를 산정하였고 실지진기록을 사용하여 산정된 이 변환함수를 기존의 간편식과 비교하여 검증하였다. 비록 강성 기초저면, 연직으로 전파되는 지반운동을 가정하는 간편식의 전제조건은 실제 조건과 차이가 있지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 실지진기록으로부터 산정된 변환함수와 매우 양호한 유사성을 보여주므로 간편식을 설계실무에서 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Toxoplasma gondii is an intracellular Apicomplexan parasite and a causative agent of toxoplasmosis in human. It causes encephalitis, uveitis, chorioretinitis, and congenital infection. T. gondii invades the host cell by forming a moving junction (MJ) complex. This complex formation is initiated by intermolecular interactions between the two secretory parasitic proteins-namely, apical membrane antigen 1 (AMA1) and rhoptry neck protein 2 (RON2) and is critically essential for the host invasion process. By this study, we propose two potential leads, NSC95522 and NSC179676 that can efficiently target the AMA1 hydrophobic cleft, which is a hotspot for targeting MJ complex formation. The proposed leads are the result of an exhaustive conformational search-based virtual screen with multilevel precision scoring of the docking affinities. These two compounds surpassed all the precision levels of docking and also the stringent post docking and cumulative molecular dynamics evaluations. Moreover, the backbone flexibility of hotspot residues in the hydrophobic cleft, which has been previously reported to be essential for accommodative binding of RON2 to AMA1, was also highly perturbed by these compounds. Furthermore, binding free energy calculations of these two compounds also revealed a significant affinity to AMA1. Machine learning approaches also predicted these two compounds to possess more relevant activities. Hence, these two leads, NSC95522 and NSC179676, may prove to be potential inhibitors targeting AMA1-RON2 complex formation towards combating toxoplasmosis.

In this study, a four-node quadrilateral partial mixed plate element with low degrees of freedom (dofs) is developed for static and free vibration analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) plates rested on Winkler-Pasternak elastic foundations. The formulation of the presented finite element model is based on a parametrized mixed variational principle which is developed recently by the first author. The presented finite element model considers the effects of shear deformations and normal flexibility of the FGM plates without using any shear correction factor. It also fulfills the boundary conditions of the transverse shear and normal stresses on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. Beside these capabilities, the number of unknown field variables of the plate is only six. The presented partial mixed finite element model has been validated through comparison with the results of the three-dimensional (3D) theory of elasticity and the results obtained from the classical and high-order plate theories available in the open literature.
