The rapid development of the economy has compelled the widen of highways, and the main challenge of this undertaking lies in the uneven settlement of road embankments. Through field and numerical experiments, this study explores the deformation mechanism of shallow buried pipelines due to road widening. The utilization of Plaxis3D software, which is adapt at simulating complex engineering geological conditions, enables the simulation of the settlement of both the central and right-side road embankments. Comparing with other numerical software such as ABAQUS and COMSOL, Plaxis provided more constitutive models including HS, HSS and Hoek-Brown model. The work concludes that the uneven settlement of road cross-sections is positively correlated with the horizontal distance from the pipeline, with a maximum settlement of 73 mm observed after construction. Furthermore, based on the Winkler's assumption, theoretical settlement and stress calculation methods are established. Results indicate that the maximum difference between the calculated values of this formula and simulated values is 1.9% and 7%, respectively. Additionally, the study investigates the stress and settlement of the pipeline's top under different angles to understand its behavior under various conditions. It finds that with traffic loads applied to the new embankment, a lever effect occurs on the lower pipeline, with the fulcrum located within the central isolation zone, leading to a transition in curve type from "single peak and single valley" to "double peak and single valley." Moreover, the settlement of pipelines on both sides of the central isolation zone and the normal stress of the pipeline's top section are symmetrical.

The effects of the oriental herbal medicine Saenghyetang(SHT, 生慧湯), which consists of Rehmanniae Radix (熟地黃 九蒸: was made by 9th steam) 40g, Corni Fructus(山茱黃) 16g, Polygalae Radix(遠志) 8g, Zizyphi Spinosae Semen(酸棗仁) 2g, Biotae Semen(柏子仁 去油: oil ingredient was removed) 20g, Poria Cocos(茯笭) 12g, Ginseng Radix(人蔘) 12g, Acori Graminei Rhizoma(石菖蒲) 2g, Sinapis Semen(白芥子) 8g, on learning ability and memory were investigated. Hot water extract(HWE) and ethanol extract(EE) from SHT were used for the studies. Learning ability and memory are related to modifications of synaptic strength among neurons that interactive. Enhanced synaptic coincidence detection leads to improved learning ability and memory. If the NMDA receptor, a synaptic coincidence detector, acts as a graded switch for memory formations, enhanced signal detection by NMDA receptors should enhance learning ability and memory. It was shown that NR2B was increased in the forebrains of oriental medicine-administrated mice, leading to enhanced activation of NMDA receptors and facilitating synaptic potentiation in response to stimulation at 10-100 Hz. These HWE-SHT treated mice exhibited that superior ability in learning and memory when performing various behavioral tasks, showing that NR2B is enhanced by HWE-SHT treatment and also is critical in gating the age-dependent threshold for plasticity and memory formation. NMDA receptor-dependent modifications, which were mediated in part by HWE administration, of synaptic efficacy, therefore, represent a mechanism for associative learning ability and memory. Results suggest that oriental medical enhancement of NR2B contributes to increase intelligence and memory in mammals On the other hand, to examine the effects of EE-SHT on the learning ability and memory in experimental mice, EE-SHT was tested on passive and active avoidance responses. The EE-SHT ameliorated the memory retrieval deficit induced by ethanol in mice, but not other memory impairments. EE-SHT(10, 20mg/100 g, p.o.) did not affect the passive avoidance responses of normal mice in the step through and step down tests, the conditioned and unconditioned avoidance responses of normal mice in the shuttle box, lever press performance tests and the ambulatory activity of normal mice in a normal condition. However, EE-SHT at 20 mg/kg significantly decrease the spontaneous motor activity during the shuttle box test, and also to extend the sleeping time induced by pentobarbital in mice. These results suggest that SHT has an ameliorating effect on memory retrieval impairments and a weak tranquilizing action.

차량용 터보차져는 디젤엔진뿐만이 아니라 가솔린 엔진에서도 장착이 보편화 되었다. 터보차져는 엔진의 효율과 출력을 효과적으로 증가시키는데 매우 훌륭한 장치이기는 하나, 여러 가지의 소음 문제를 유발시키기도 한다. 이들 소음은 회전축의 거동에 의하여 유발되는 구조 전달 소음과 공기 유동에 의하여 유도되는 공력 소음으로 구분된다. 이와 더불어 웨이스트게이트 밸브를 전자적으로 제어하는 액츄에이터계 거동으로부터 발생되는 기계적 소음이 있는데, 이것이 밸브 떨림음이다. 이 소음은 밸브가 열려 있을 때에만 발생하는데, 이는 연결 구조물 사이의 간극이 외력에 의하여 강제 접촉을 유지하지 않고 밸브부터 액츄에이터 사이에 연결되어 있는 각 연결 구조물이 서로 자유단으로 접촉하고 있기 때문이다. 각 자유단 접촉점에서는 배기가스 맥동파에 의하여 충격 진동이 발생하고 이것이 터빈하우징으로 전달되어 밸브 떨림음이 발생하는 것이다. 그러나, 액츄에이터의 기계적 구동력에 의하여 액츄에이터의 모든 연결 구조물이 강제접촉을 유지하고 있는 기계식 액츄에이터에서는 발생하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 불평형 회전축을 갖는 소형 진동 모터를 이용하여 전자식 액츄에이터에서 발생하는 밸브 떨림음 평가를 위한 장치를 고안하였으며, 이 장치를 이용하여 밸브 떨림음의 저감효과를 평가하였다. 소음 저감 방법으로는 구조물간 접촉 간극 축소 또는 웨이브 와셔 삽입, 밸브레버와 터빈하우징 사이에 조립되는 부싱의 헐거움 끼움이 효과적임을 확인하였다.
