  • In this study, using the CADMAS-SURF model, the characteristics of the wave pressures and the wave forces were analyzed according to the installation position of the parapet on top of the caisson, and the stability evaluation was carried out using estimated wave forces for the design wave condition. Numerical results show that adopting the rear-parapet reduces the front maximum wave pressures and wave forces, and the maximum wave pressure acting on the rear-parapet increases slightly compared to the front parapet, but the wave force acting on the rear-parapet has little effect on the stability of the breakwater due to the phase difference with the wave force acting on the front of the breakwater. In addition, impulsive wave pressures did not occur, as Yamamoto et al. (2013) pointed out the problem of the rear-parapet breakwater. As a result of the stability against sliding and overturning, it was estimated that the target safety factor of 1.2 could be secured by the self-weight of 13% less than the case of the front parapet. At this time, the maximum ground pressure was also reduced by 30%, and the applicability of the rear-parapet structure to the actual site was evaluated as high.

  • Objectives : The author investigated the rate of diagnostic agreement between consultants and consultees and concordance ratings on the consultees' recommendation to examine the interactive collaborativeness and find the factors that influence the reflectiveness on treatment. Methods : The subjects were 54 patients with delirium selected from 583 cases referred from other departments who were admitted to Hanyang University Kuri Hospital from July 1, 1995 to Dec. 31, 1997. The information on demographic data, diagnostic impression, symptoms, management before consultation, psychiatric recommendation, management after consultation, diagnoses at the referring departments and the psychiatric department on delirium was obtained by medical records and consultation papers retrospectively. The reflectiveness of the psychiatric recommendation was divided into complete concordance, partial concordance, and nonconcordance and among them the complete and partial concordance were considered for concordance. The reflectiveness was compared among all the departments and between medical unit and surgery unit. Results: The rate of diagnostic agreement on the cause of delirium was highest(85.7%) in organic brain syndrome and lowest in general medical condition(0%). There was no statistically significant differences between medical unit and surgery unit. Neither differences were there among all the departments. In comparing symptoms affecting the reflectiveness, it was 73.5% in impulsive and aggressive behavioral changes, whereas 40.0% in behavioral changes. Reflectiveness of psychiatric recommendation showed higher scores in the case of behavioral changes. The cases of sleep problem showed higher scores of reflectiveness. When these two symptoms of behavioral change and sleep problem were compared as one factor, the results suggested that there were significant differences. The cases with both two symptoms showed 80% in reflectiveness, and the cases with only one symptom or no symptoms showed 44.8% in reflectiveness. There were no statistical significances between concordance ratings and symptoms such as disturbance of consciousness, disorientation, and hallucination that cannot be easily evaluated at the referring departments. Conclusions : The rate of diagnostic agreement on the cause of delirium was highest in the case of organic brain syndrome in which lesions can be easily recognized. The factors that influence the reflectiveness of psychiatric recommendation were behavior changes and sleep disorders in the symptoms of evaluated cases.
