Guided-waves-based mortar-filled steel pipe inspection is carried out through using EMAT (Electro magnetic acoustic transducer) and wavelet transform. Possibly existing anomalies such as separation (or void) and inclusion are made in the fabricated mortar-fled steel pipes: these anomalies are infected. Since guided waves have the long range inspection capability, EMAT has its own advantages over the conventional PZT (Piezoelectric zirconate titanate), and wavelet transform gives the multi-resolution on time-frequency domain results, the suggested technique gives an alternative way for inspecting mortar-filled steel pipes, which are popularly used for supporting marine structures such as piers, wharfs, moles, and dolphins. Through this study, it is show that the suggested technique is promising for detecting the amounts of separations and inclusions.

This paper develops practical models and methods for the assessment of safety and rating of damaged and/or deteriorated bridges by incorporating a system identification technique for the explicit inclusion of the degree of deterioration or damage and of the actual bridge response. And, based on the proposed model, reliability-based rating methods are proposed as LRFR(Load and Resistance Factor Rating) and system reliability-index rating criteria. The proposed limit state model explicitly accounts for the degree of deterioration or damage in terms of the damage and response factors. The damage factor in the paper is proposed as the ratio of the current stiffness to the intact stiffness. Based on the observation and the results of applications to existing bridges, it may be concluded that the proposed rating models, which explicitly account for the uncertainties and the effects of degree of deterioration or damage based on the system identification technique, provide more realistic and consistent safety-assessment and capacity-rating.

일본의 기후현의 카미오카광산은 지하 약 1,000 m의 대심도에, 우주에서 도래하는 소립자의 관측과 양자의 붕괴현상 등을 연구하기 위한 실험시설 SUPER-KAMIOKANDE가 건설되었다. 이 시설 설계를 위한 기초 자료의 하나로, 초기지압 측정을 실시하여 건설 예정지의 암반 응력 상태를 파악했다. 측정 방법은, 일본 전력중앙연구소(Central Research Institute of the Electric Power Industry)에서 개발한 ８성분 변형률 게이지를 이용한 공경변화법, Sugahara와 Obara가 개발한 16성분 구면 게이지를 이용한 구면 공저변형법, 오스트레일리아의 CSIRO에 의해 개발된 Hollow Inclusion Cell을 이용한 공벽변형률법이다. ３종류의 방법에 의해 얻어진 결과가 일치하지는 않았지만, ６응력성분의 평균치를 이용하여 주응력 방향 및 크기를 결정하였다.

초음파 비파괴 평가에서 적응 노이즈 제거 기법은 시험 재료의 결정립 구조(grain structure)로 인해 공간적으로 변화하는 노이즈를 감소시키는데 적합하다. 일반적으로 결정립 노이즈는 비상관 관계성을 가지고 있는 반면에 결점(flaw) 신호는 상관 관계성을 띄고 있기 때문에 적응 필터링 알고리즘으로 출력 신호의 신호 대 잡음비를 향상시키기 위해 신호의 상관관계 특징을 이용한다. 본 논문에서는 초음파 탐상의 결함 검출 능력 향상을 위해 적응 LMSE(least mean square error) 필터를 이용한 다단계 적응 노이즈 제거기법(multi-stage adaptive noise cancellation)을 제시한다.

Ultrasonic technique which is one of the most common nondestructive evaluation techniques has been applied to evaluate the integrity of structures by analyzing the characteristic of scattering sign al from internal defects. Therefore, a numerical analysis of ultrasonic scattering field due to defect profiles is absolutely needed for the accurate, quantitative estimation of internal defects. In this paper, the SH-wave scattering by multi-cavity defects and inclusion using Elastodynamic Boundary Element Method is studied. The effects of shape and distance of defects on transmitted and reflected fields are considered. The interaction of multi-cavity defects in SH-wave scattering is also investigated. Numerical calculations by the BEM have been carried out to predict near field solution of scattered fields of ultrasonic SH-wave. The presented results can be used to improve the detection sensitivity and pursue quantitative nondestructive evaluation for inverse problem.

The paper aims to examine the association between information and communication technology (ICT), economic growth and population health based on health production model in Malaysia. This theoretical health production function is represented as follows: where the output is an individual health outcome, and the inputs are determinants of health, such as income, education, health care costs, medical facilities, the environment, and lifestyle. The development of information and communication technologies are represented as of mobile cellular subscriptions (per 100) and fixed telephone subscriptions (100) using time series data from 1993-2017 from the World Bank database. Using the bound testing technique of cointegration, this study finds that ICT affects population health significantly and positively in the long- and short-run. This is because ICT inclusion improves human health and longevity. Whereas, economic growth has no significant impact on the population's health both in the short- and long-run. The findings indicate that a weak global economy affects Malaysia's economic growth and reduces the health expenditure per capita. The results of this study suggest that policymakers must develop policies that improves public health by increasing health literacy, disseminating health information and facilitating medical facilities. This study also suggests that health care systems should to concentrate on digital inclusion.

Objective This study was devised to create a new diagnosis and an assessment index by Soeumin's Ordinary Symptoms. Method First, a Working Committee and an Advisory Committee were formed for development, and the development goals were set. Then, the Soeumin's disease diagnosis indicators were extracted from the previous Clinical Practice Guidelines for Sasang Constitutional Medicine. To increase the clinical applicability, the extracted diagnosis indicators were focused on ordinary symptoms, and translated into Korean. The translated diagnosis and assessment indicators for Soeumin were surveyed to the Advisory Committee using the Delphi technique, and the inclusion, importance, and validity of each indicator were investigated accordingly. Result The translated diagnosis and assessment indicators were finally revised based on the surveyed inclusion and translation validity opinions, and the weight of each indicator was set based on the investigated importance, and a draft of the diagnosis and assessment index was developed. Conclusion This developed index can help to make effective diagnose about Soeumin's diseases by clinical doctor. In the future, a clinical study of this index can be conducted to consider the reliability, validity, and cut-point, and through this process, the actual clinical applicability will be improved.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to provide a clinical evidence base for the effectiveness of the muscle energy technique (MET) for cervicalgia. Methods : We conducted a search of 10 electronic databases up to April 2019. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that performed the MET for cervicalgia were included. The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane risk of bias (RoB) tool. Results : Six RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The literature review of these studies showed favorable results for the use of the MET in comparison to other manual medicines. Conclusions : In 6 RCTs, we found that the MET was effective in cervicalgia treatment. However, most of the included studies had an unclear risk of bias. Therefore, well-designed RCTs are necessary to obtain a higher evidence level of the MET use in cervicalgia.

Maxillary sinus lift for dental implant installation is a well-known and versatile technique; new techniques are presented based on the physiology of intrasinus bone repair. The aim of this review was to determine the status of graftless maxillary sinus lift and analyze its foundations and results. A search was conducted of the literature between 1995 and 2015 in the Medline, ScienceDirect, and SciELO databases using the keywords "maxillary sinus lift," "blood clot," "graftless maxillary sinus augmentation," and "dental implant placement." Ten articles were selected for our analysis of this technique and its results. Despite the limited information, cases that were followed for at least six months and up to four years had a 90% success rate. Published techniques included a lateral window, elevation of the sinus membrane, drilling and dental implant installation, descent of the membrane with variations in the installation of the lateral wall access and suturing. The physiology behind this new bone formation response and the results of the present research were also discussed. We concluded that this is a promising and viable technique under certain inclusion criteria.

딥러닝이 보편화되면서 예측 결과를 설명하는 연구가 중요해졌다. 최근 슈퍼픽셀에 기반한 다중스케일 결합 기법이 제안되었는데, 물체의 모양을 유지함으로써 시각적 공감이라는 장점을 제공한다. 이 기법은 예측 차이라는 원리에 기반을 두고 있으며, 슈퍼픽셀을 가리고 얻은 예측 결과와 원래 예측 결과의 차이를 보고 돌출맵을 구성한다. 본 논문은 슈퍼픽셀을 가리는 제외 연산뿐 아니라 슈퍼픽셀만 보여주는 포함 연산까지 사용하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 실험 결과 제안한 방법은 IoU에서 3.3%의 성능 향상을 보인다.
