In this paper, we developed a system to monitor the storage capacity of suction-type device such as vacuum cleaner or crop harvesters. The monitoring system consists of load cells and a differential pressure sensor which simultaneously monitor the weight and volume of the stock. Since weighing objects stored in storage containers alone cannot fully monitor the level of filling, more accurate monitoring can be achieved by monitoring volume and fusion with weight information. The volume was monitored using a phenomenon in which the flow rate of the inhaled air varies depending on the volume of the object filled in the storage container. In this paper, we developed a system to monitor the storage in three stages: low, medium and high.

Purpose: The significance of hospital volume remains inconsistent and controversial. In particular, few studies have examined whether hospital volume is associated with the outcome of gastrectomy for gastric cancer in East Asia. This study examined the effect of hospital volume on the short-term surgical and long-term oncological outcomes of patients undergoing curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer. Materials and Methods: Between 2009 and 2011, 1,561 patients underwent curative gastrectomy for gastric cancer at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital (n=1,322) and Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital (n=239). We defined Seoul St. Mary's Hospital as a high-volume center and Bucheon St. Mary's Hospital as a low-volume center. Results: The extent of resection, rate of combined resection, tumor stage, operating time, and hospital stay did not differ significantly between the 2 hospitals. In addition, the hospital volume was not significantly associated with the 30-day morbidity and mortality. When the overall and disease-free survival rates of the patients were stratified according to stage, hospital volume was not significantly associated with prognosis at any stage. Conclusions: Hospital volume might not be a decisive factor with respect to the surgical and oncological outcomes of patients if well-trained surgeons perform gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

일정 수준의 콘크리트 품질 수준을 유지하면서 시멘트 사용량을 줄이는 방법으로는 첫째, 다양한 입형과 입도의 골재 사용, 둘째, 사용되는 시멘트의 일부를 광물질 혼화재 및 광물질 채움재로 대체하는 방법등이 있다. 또한 페이스트의 구성성분이 합리적인 범위라면, 일정 수준의 품질을 유지하기 위하여 필요한 최소 페이스트 체적은 페이스트 구성성분과는 무관할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일정 수준의 워커빌리티를 유지하기 위하여 콘크리트에서 필요로 하는 최소 페이스트 체적을 결정하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 입도가 다른 3종류의 골재에 대하여 페이스트의 체적을 변화시키면서, 고성능감수제를 사용하여 모르타르의 플로우값 130을 유지하는데 필요한 최소 페이스트체적에 대하여 연구하였다.

In this study, in order to determine the validity and accuracy of MR imaging of 3D gradient dual echo 2-point DIXON technique for measuring abdominal adipose tissue volume and distribution, the measurements obtained by CT were set as a reference for comparison and their correlations were evaluated. CT and MRI scans were performed on each subject (17 healthy male volunteers who were fully informed about this study) to measure abdominal adipose tissue volume. Two skilled investigators individually observed the images acquired by CT and MRI in an independent environment, and directly separated the total volume using region-based thresholding segmentation method, and based on this, the total adipose tissue volume, subcutaneous adipose tissue volume and visceral adipose tissue volume were respectively measured. The correlation of the adipose tissue volume measurements with respect to the observer was examined using the Spearman test and the inter-observer agreement was evaluated using the intra-class correlation test. The correlation of the adipose tissue volume measurements by CT and MRI imaging methods was examined by simple regression analysis. In addition, using the Bland-Altman plot, the degree of agreement between the two imaging methods was evaluated. All of the statistical analysis results showed highly statistically significant correlation (p<0.05) respectively from the results of each adipose tissue volume measurements. In conclusion, MR abdominal adipose volumetry using the technique of 3D gradient dual echo 2-point DIXON showed a very high level of concordance even when compared with the adipose tissue measuring method using CT as reference.

Design of a rational earth volume conversion coefficient is required as the earth volume conversion coefficient may give great influence on construction work volume and construction costs in the civil engineering works where large-scaled earth volume is excavated. However, there are a great deal of difficulties in the calculation of the exact spoil surface earth and Insufficient earth volume by adopting the figures presented on the generally used design specifications which are not the results obtained from the selection tests in calculating the earth volume conversion coefficient. In this connection, it would be desirable to calculate the earth volume conversion coefficient by carrying out large-scaled site test adequate for the relevant environment. In consequence, this study aims at calculating the exact earth volume conversion coefficient of cutting and banking areas of weathering rocks in large-scaled construction sites where land is being developed into home lots. For this, we have excavated the respective 20 sites of the cutting and banking areas in the said site and then calculated the volume after the excavation. As a result, the relative exactness degree of the crossing was calculated at 0.5% in average. The relative exactness degree of 0.5% in the volume may be judged as an exact measurement as it corresponds to 0.17% of the relative exactness degree in the length measurement. We have calculated the exact earth volume conversion coefficient by the use of function ratio as per the wet unit weight and the indoor soil quality test as per volume calculated. And then we have found out minor differences as a result of the comparison and analysis with the earth volume conversion coefficient determined by the dry unit weight test as per sand replacement method. This may be judged as a rational design method for the calculation of earth volume conversion coefficient, as well as high reliability of site test as a precision photogrammetry is adopted for volume measurement of the irregular excavating areas.

화력발전소에서 발생되는 플라이애쉬는 콘크리트의 첨가재로 사용되는 것이 석탄회 재활용 방안 중 최선으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 석탄회는 최근 더 이상 매립이 불가능하여 콘크리트에 다량 첨가가 시도되고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 현재까지 하이볼륨 플라이애쉬(High Volume Fly Ash: HVFA) 시멘트 콘크리트의 연구분야는 주로 재료적인 분야에 대해서만 수행되어지고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 하이볼륨 플라이애쉬 시멘트 콘크리트의 구조재료로의 적용을 위해서는 탄성계수, 응력-변형률 관계 및 구조 부재 거동 등에 대한 연구가 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 이 논문에서는 플라이애쉬 치환율 0, 35 및 50%, 압축강도 20, 40 및 60 MPa 그리고 인장철근비 2수준을 실험변수로 하여 플라이애쉬 시멘트 철근콘크리트 보 18개를 제작하여 이들의 휨거동을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 실험결과에 의하면 플라이애쉬를 첨가하지 않은 일반 콘크리트(FA=0%)와 35, 50% 플라이애쉬 시멘트 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동은 크게 차이나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, the effect of firm's patent competency on the their management performance was analysed. The number of patents granted to Korean firms, patent grade score as of the firm's patent competence were considered in the perspectives of patent volume and patent value respectively. Specially the analysis were implemented focusing on the high performance venture ranked 200th in Korea. The patent source data were from the Korean Intellectual Property Office, Korean Credit Evaluation Information Company, and the Patent Evaluation System of KIPO and KIPA. And the year sales and net profit volume as of the firm's management performance data from the KIS. Management performance data are consisted of the mean sales, net profit and ROI during the 4 years from FY2005 to FY2008. Major results are as follows. The regression model were proved significantly that the year sales volume and net profit are effected by the number of patents and patent grade score. But the model including the ROI were shown not significantly. So it can be concluded that patent volume and patent value are the important factors on firm's financial performance as of the year sales volume and net profit. Also the regression model including the control variables, firm's number of employee and business year, the number of patents and patent grade score are the significant factors on firms performance. And regression coefficients of patent value model were higher than these of patent volume model. So it can be recognized that patent value of firms' patent competency are more important factor than the patent volume.

We studied the energy barrier for proton conduction with volume variation in $BaZrO_3$ using a first principles study to investigate an optimum volume for the proton conduction. The volume increase of $BaZrO_3$ was expected to decrease the energy barrier for proton rotation and to increase that for proton transfer, and these trends could be extrapolated when the volume was decreased. However, the energy barriers for the proton transfer with the volume decrease were increased, while all the other energy barriers varied as expected. We could explain this unexpected behavior by the bent Zr-O-Zr structure, when the volume was decreased.
