This paper presents a rigorous solution for spherical cavity expansion in unsaturated soils under constant suction condition. The hydraulic behavior that describes the saturation-suction relationship is modeled by a void ratio-dependent soil-water characteristic curve, which allows the hydraulic behavior to fully couple with the mechanical behavior that is described by an extended critical state soil model for unsaturated soil through the specific volume. Considering the boundary condition and introducing an auxiliary coordinate, the problem is formulated to a system of first-order differential equations with three principal stress components and suction as basic unknowns, which is solved as an initial value problem. Parameter analyses are conducted to investigate the effects of suction and the overconsolidation ratio on the overall expansion responses, including the pressure-expansion response, the distribution of the stress components around the cavity, and the stress path of the soil during cavity expansion. The results reveal that the expansion pressures and the distribution of the stress components in unsaturated soils are generally higher than those in saturated soils due to the existence of suction.

Because nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are reported to cause fluid retention and hypertension by inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis, the effects of piroxicam on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of nifedipine were studied in male spontaneously hypertensive rats. They received nifedipine (0.5 mg/kg) alone or combined with piroxicam (5 mg/kg) intravenously. Plasma levels norepinephrine, an index of sympathetic stimulation, were measured prior to each treatment and 5 min after drug administration. Changes in blood pressure were examined serially and blood samples for analysis of nifedipine were also taken for 6 hr following drug administration. Plasma nifedipine concentration were assayed by HPLC and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated. Blood pressure was reduced (p<0.01), but plasma norepinephrine level was increased (p<0.05) by nifedipine administration. Anti-hypertensive effect of nifedipine was potentiated (p<0.05) by piroxicam coadministration, but effect of nifedipine on plasma norepinephrine level was not affected. In case of rats received nifedipine and piroxicam, plasma nifedipine concentrations were higher (p<0.05) than those from rats received nifedipine alone at 2,3,4,5 and 6 hours following drug administration. The area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve was increased (p<0.05), while the elimination rate constant was decreased (p<0.01) by piroxicam coadministration. No significant differences were observed in the plasma clearance, apparent volume of distribution and elimination half-life. Thus, piroxicam not only potentiated antihypertensive effect of nifedipine, but also altered nifedipine pharmacokinetics in the rats. It is concluded that the potentiation of nifedipine antihypertensive effect might correlate with the increment of its plasma concentration by piroxicam coadministration.

To study the applicability of a scroll type compressor to small capacity refrigerators, a R600a scroll compressor with algebraic scroll wrap has been designed. Its size and performance have been compared to a reciprocating type of the same displacement volume. By employing scroll wrap based on algebraic curve, high compression ratio can be accomplished without increasing the wrap angle much so that compact scroll may be obtained. Compared to a reciprocating one, the designed scroll compressor has diameter and height reduced by about 50% and 80%, respectively. By numerical simulation, it has been estimated that the scroll compressor provides 38.6% more cooling capacity than reciprocating type with 8.9% more power consumption, resulting in 27.3% increase in COP for ASHRAE low back pressure condition. With increasing the operating pressure ratio from 9.5 to 15.3, the overall compressor efficiency of the scroll compressor decreases from 72.6% to 65.2%, while that of the reciprocating compressor increases from 55.7% to 59.8%.

본 연구에서는 비정질강섬유의 혼입이 초고강도콘크리트의 폭렬특성에 미치는 영향이 실험적으로 검토되었다. 콘크리트는 압축강도 100과 150 MPa의 초고강도콘크리트가 사용되었다. 폴리프로필렌섬유는 0.15 vol%, 비정질강섬유는 0.3 및 0.5 vol%가 혼입되었다. 시험체는 콘크리트의 압축강도와 섬유혼입 조건에 따라 6수준이 제작되었고, ISO-834 가열곡선에 의해 가열되었다. 결과로써 폴리프로필렌섬유와 비정질강섬유가 혼입된 초고강도콘크리트의 폭렬제어에 있어서는 용융된 폴리프로필렌섬유가 형성하는 공극네트워크를 통해 수증기가 이동하는 효과가 지배적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 비정질강섬유 0.3v ol% 혼입률에서는 폭렬제어에 큰 영향을 미치지 않지만, 0.5 vol%의 비정질강섬유가 혼입될 경우에는 수증기가 이동할 수 있는 균열의 발생이 억제됨으로써 콘크리트 폭렬의 원인으로 지적되고 있는 수분막힘층(moisture clog)가 형성될 가능성이 높은 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Background: This study is aimed to verify individual and regional-level factors affecting the depression of Koreans and to develop social programs for improving the depressive status. Methods: This study used individual-level variables from the Korean Community Health Survey (2018) and used the e-regional index of the Korean Statistical Information Service as the regional-level variable. A multi-level logistic regression was executed to identify individual and regional-level variables that were expected to affect the extent of depressive symptoms and to draw the receiver operating characteristic curve to compare the volume of impact between variables from both levels. Results: The results of the multi-level logistic regression analysis in regards to individual-level factors showed that older age, female gender, a lower income level, a lower education level, not having a spouse, the practice of walking, the consumption of breakfast higher levels of stress, and having high blood pressure or diabetes were associated with a greater increase in depressive symptoms. In terms of regional factors, areas with fewer cultural facilities and fewer car registration had higher levels of depressive symptoms. The comparison of area under the curve showed that individual factors had a greater influence than regional factors. Conclusion: This study showed that while both, individual and regional-level factors affect depression, the influence of the latter was relatively weaker as compared to the first. In this sense, it is necessary to develop programs focused on the individual, such as social prescribing at the local or community-level, rather than the city and nation-level approach that are currently prevalent.

성악훈련을 받고있는 여학생들은 호흡훈련과 호흡훈련 보조기구를 이용하여 훈련을 하면서 발성연습을 하면 최대호기압과 최대흡기압이 증가하여 호흡근육의 근력이 증가하였다는 것을 알 수 있었으나 호흡기능에는 변화가 없어 호흡훈련에 의해 폐기능이 증진되지는 않는다는 결론을 얻게 되었다. 최대발성지속시간 역시 크게 증가하여 성악을 공부하는 학생들이 이 방법대로 훈련을 하는 것이 효과적이지 않을까 추정된다.

질소의 흡착 등온곡선을 이용하여 흡착체의 동공부피 분포를 계산하는 과정에서 표면장력의 곡률 의존도 고려 효과를 조사하였다. 즉, 장세헌 등에 의한 표면장력의 곡률 의존도식과 캘빈 식으로부터 주어진 압력에서의 캘빈반경을 구하고, 이것으로부터 흡착체의 동공부피 분포를 계산하였다. 이와 같이하여 얻은 계산 결과를 표면장력의 곡률 의존도를 고려하지 아니한 종래방법에 의한 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 일반적으로 곡률 의존도를 고려해주면 동공부피 분포 곡선의 극대부분이 큰 동공 쪽으로 이동한다. 또한 모세관 응축이 일어나는 상대압력이 종래까지 생각했던 것보다 훨씬 낮아지고 있다. 이러한 효과들은 흡착체의 동공들이 미세해 질수록 더욱 현저하게 일어난다.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of metoprolol, a selective beta-l blocker, were examined for 360 minutes after intravenous bolus administration of metoprolol to 6 dogs. Plasma concentration and excreted amount in the urine metoprolol were measured by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. PR interval and heart rate were measured by ECG monitoring. Blood pressure was monitored through intraarterial catheter in femoral artery and cardiac output by thermodilution method using Swan-Ganz catheter. To analyze the effect site concentration-response relationship, plasma concentration and pharmacological effects were simultaneously fitted to a two pharmacokinetic compartment linked to pharmacodynamic model with NONLIN program. Results are as follows. 1) The plasma concentration of metoprolol after intrvenous injection decreased biexponentially. The terminal half-life estimated was $1.33{\pm}0.40$ hours and the volume of distribution at steady state (Vdss) and the total body clearance were $1.04{\pm}0.4\;L/kg,\;6.55{\pm}2.21\;L/hr$, respectively. The central compartment volume of distribution and peripheral compartment volume of distribution were $0.35{\pm}0.14L/kg\;and\;0.69{\pm}0.34L/kg$. The renal clearance and intercompartment clearance were $0.53{\pm}0.25\;L/min\;and\;0.35{\pm}0.19\;L/min$. 2) Simulated biophase concentration-response curve shows hyperbolic relationship and the estimated concentration-effect relationship was best explained by Emax model when the prolongation of PR interval and the reduction of the heart rate were used as pharmacodynamic parameters. Emax and EC50 were estimated to be $26.3{\pm}4.7\;msec\;and\;88.8{\pm}82.3\;g/ml$ for PR interval, and $48.7{\pm}18.8\;beats/min\;and\;113.5{\pm}78.7\;ng/ml$ for heart rate, respectively. 3) The changes of cardiac output-effect site concentration relationship was best fitted by a linear model and the slope of the relationship was $0.005{\pm}0.003$. Diastolic blood pressure-effect site concentration relationship was also explained by the linear model and the slope of the relationship was $0.038{\pm}0.034$.
