In order to use HTS tape on electric power applications, such as cable, motor, transformer, fault current limiter, a long length of HTS tape with a good uniformity of critical current is inevitable. The longer length of HTS tape, the wider in the range of application and the lower cost of HTS tape. In this study three long length Bi-2223/Ag tapes(268m, 253m and 187m) were fabricated. Critical current uniformity along the length was greatly improved through the optimization of cold deformation and thermo-mechanical process. Average critical current of the tapes was 63.2 A, 54.6 A and 64.2 A, respectively Critical tensile strength and critical bending radius (77 K, 5 % Ic degradation) was 135 MPa and 56 m, respectively.

Recently, large-scale underground cavern such as underground hydraulic-power plant tend to be constructed very largely, so long-length rock bolt are generally used to support the huge plastic zone. However, problems fur bend-ing shape of the long-length steel bar and the bonding effects of anchoring systems are caused during the construction of the long-length rock bolt. In this study, field pull-out test for long-length rock bolt are carried out to estimate the most efficient anchoring system among the saw-toothed shape, grooved shape and smoothed shape with each 6 shells for 5.0m, 7.5m, 10.0m, 15.0m length. The axial load and axial displacement are measured with each load stage and than test results are analyzed to evaluate the behavior characteristics for each anchoring systems of long-length rock bolt. Also, the improvements of anchoring systems are proposed and discussed in this paper.

Background: In Korea, the length of stay and medical expenses incurred by medical aid patients are increasing at a rate faster than the national health insurance. Therefore, there is a need to create a management strategy for each type of hospitalization to manage the length of stay of medical aid patients. Methods: The study used data from the 2019 National Health Insurance Claims. We analyzed the factors that affect the length of stay for 186,576 medical aid patients who were hospitalized for more than 31 days, with a focus on the type of hospitalization in long-term care hospitals. Results: The study found a significant correlation between gender, age, medical aid type, chronic disease ratio, long-term care hospital patient classification, and hospitalization type variables as factors that affect the length of hospital stay. The analysis of the differences in the length of stay for each type of hospitalization showed that the average length of stay is 291.4 days for type 1, 192.9 days for type 2, and 157.0 days for type 3, and that the difference is significant (p<0.0001). When type 3 was 0, type 1 significantly increased by 99.4 days, and type 2 by 36.6 days (p<0.0001). Conclusion: A model that can comprehensively view factors, such as provider factors and institutional factors, needs to be designed. In addition, to reduce long stays for medical aid patients, a mechanism to establish an early discharge plan should be prepared and concerns about underutilization should be simultaneously addressed.

As a basic study to improve hooking ability of long line fishing gear, which is widely used around Jeju-do coast, the researcher performed hooking experiment of parrot fish by manufacturing and installing 7 kinds of model long line fishing gears, whose thickness of branch line are different and 8 kinds of model long line fishing gear, whose length of branch line are different, in indoor circular aquarium, which is installed for the model experiment of thickness and length of branch line that are various by fishing implement and improper. The hooking rate depending on thickness and length of branch line was calculated and the effect of thickness and length of branch line on hooking rate was analyzed. Its results are as follows. When branch line was thin and long, high hooking rate appeared. In the scope of value setting, the relationship between thickness ($B_t$) of branch line and total hooking rate ($Th_r$) can be shown as following formula as. In the scope of value setting, the relationship between length ($B_t$) of branch line and total hooking rate ($B_t$) can be shown as $Th_r=-20.83B_t+26.04$. Through Pearson correlation analysis, the coefficient of correlation between thickness of branch line and hooking rate was -0.718. Therefore it showed significance in 0.01 significance level. Through Pearson correlation analysis, the coefficient of correlation between length of branch line and hooking rate was 0.431. Therefore it showed significance in 0.01 significance level.

The purpose of this study is to classify types of the eaves structure of buildings with the Jusimpo-type structure and to analyze the characteristics of each eaves structure. For this objective, forty buildings were selected and investigated. The results of analysis are summarized as follows. First, the main members of framework which handle a load burden on the long-rafter(長椽) are classified as the Jusim-dori(柱心道里) and the Oemok-dori(外目道里). Based on the method of handling a load, the eaves structure is classified into three types; the Jusim-processing-type(柱心中心形), the Oemok-processing-type(外目中 心形), and the Oemok-processing-variant-type(外目中心變異形). The Jusim-processing-type is the set where the internal length of a long-rafter is longer than the length of the eaves on the basis of the center of a column. The Oemok-processing-type is the set where the external length of a long-rafter is longer than the internal length of it. And the Oemok-processing-variant-type is the set where the internal length of a long-rafter is longer than the external length of it, but it is shorter than the length of the eaves which includes the extruded length of a Buyeon(浮椽). Second, the Jusim-processing-type had been generally adopted in the Jusimpo-type structure of the Goryeo Dynasty. But since the 17th century, the Oemok-processing-type had the highest application rate. Third, the change from the Jusimdori-processing-structure to the Oemokdori-processing-structure means that the long-rafter is moved to the direction of outside of the building, and thus the Jung-dori(中道里) is gradually moved to the column center. And, the change of the eaves with the Jusimpo-type structure was not a process for increasing the length of the eaves but a process for adopting the advantages of the Dapo-type structure by changing the arrangement of purlin. Fourth, the change from the Jusimpo-type structure to the Dapo-type structure could be understood as a process for moving the main point for handling a load from the Jusim-dori to the Oemok-dori.

Various kind of fiber optic gauge sensors are available that can be bonded to civil engineering structures such as bridges, dams, tunnels and pipelines. A new fiber optic long gauge has significant advantages over other fiber optic sensors. These gauges can vary in length from less than 10 cm up to 30 m and provide the structural engineer with accurate measurements of displacement. These displacements can be converted to strains by dividing the measurement by the long gauge length. Using new optical technology, the long gauge instrument developed by FOX-TEK can choose max. 30 meters of gauge length so as to measure the very early stress/strain correlation curve. And this gauge length to be extended up to 100 meter in 2002.

In this study, the wave force distribution acting on a semi-infinite and vertical-type long structure is investigated considering diffraction. An analytical solution of the wave force acting on long structures is also suggested in this study. The wave forces on long structures are evaluated for monochromatic, uni-directional random, and multi-directional random waves. Diffraction effects in front of the breakwater and on the lee side of the breakwater are considered. The wave force on a long structure becomes zero when the relative length of the breakwater (1/L) is zero. The diffraction effects are relatively strong when the relative length of the breakwater is less than 1.0, and the wave forces decrease greatly for long structure when the relative length of the breakwater is larger than 0.5. Therefore, it is necessary to consider diffraction effects when the relative length of the breakwater is less than 1.0, and the relative length of the breakwater must be at least 0.5 in order to obtain a reduction of wave force on long structures.

For large scale applications of high temperature superconductor(HTS) such as transmission cables, motors and generators, long length of flexible HTS conductors is required. Currently, HTS tape that is capable of being fabricated in long length by industrial processes is the Bi-2223 HTS tape. In this study, we fabricated 19 filamentary Bi-2223($Bi_{1.8}$$Pb_{0.4}$$Sr_{2}$$Ca_{2}$$Cu_{3}$$O_{10+X}$) HTS tape with 100m length by PIT(Powder In Tube) process. Critical current(Ic) of this long length tape was measured 18.5 A at 77 K, self field and short sample Ic is 32.5 A at the same condition. Critical current of 100m length tape was decreased by about 1/3 compared to that of short tape. This was mainly resulted from the increase of non homogeneity in oxide layer.

In 2017, the Gyeongju earthquake caused many casualties and considerable property damage by overturning and dropping blocks and bricks. Various reinforcement techniques were proposed, but some problems, such as short length or difficult construction, were encountered. Therefore, this study proposes a long-rawlplug screw anchor to improve the existing rawlplug anchor and conducts an experiment to evaluate the pullout strength. Variables in the pullout test were the compressive strength of concrete and the embedded length of the long-rawlplug screw anchor. According to the results, the pullout strength of the long-rawlplug screw anchor increased as the compressive strength of concrete increased, and they were not affected by the embedded length. Rather, it was found that the screw length of the long-rawlplug was important to the pullout strength.

The purpose of the current experiment was to describe interlimb coordination when swing limb conditions are being manipulated by constraining step length or by adding a 5 or 10 pound weight to the swing limb distally. Subjects were asked to begin walking with the right limb to land on the primary target (normal step length) that is 10 cm in diameter. However, if, during movement, the light was illuminated, then the subject had to step on one of the secondary targets (long and short step length). These three step length conditions were repeated while wearing a 5 pound ankle weight and then when wearing a 10 pound ankle weight. Ground reaction force (GRF) data indicated that there were changes in the forces and slopes of the swing and stance Fx GRFs. Long stepping subjects had to increase the propulsive force required to increase step length. Consequently, swing and stance toe-off greatly increased in the long step length condition. Short step length subjects had to adequately adjust step length, which decreased the speed of gait initiation. Loading the swing limb decreased the force and slope of the swing limb. Swing and stance toe-off was longest for the long step length condition, but there was a small difference of temporal events between no weight and weight condition. It appears that subjects modulated GRFs and temporal events differently to achieve the peak acceleration force of the swing and stance limb in response to different tasks. The findings from the current study provide preliminary data, which can be used to further investigate how we modulate forces during voluntary movement from a quiet stance. This information may be important if we are to use this or a similar task to evaluate gait patterns of the elderly and patient populations.
