The objective of this study is to investigate design parameters of a tuned liquid column damper(TLCD), which is affected by various excitation amplitude, through shaking table test. Design parameters of a TLCD are examined based on the equivalent tuned mass damper(TMD) model of a TLCD, in which the nonlinear damping of a TLCD is transposed to equivalent viscous damping. Shaking table test is carried out for a TLCD specimen subjected to harmonic waves with various amplitude. Transfer functions are ratios of liquid displacement of TLCD and control force produced by a TLCD, respectively, with respect to the acceleration excited by a shaking table. They are derived based on the equivalent TMD model of a TLCD. Then, the variation of design parameters according to the excitation amplitude is examined by comparing analytical transfer functions with experimental ones. Finally, the dissipation energy due to the damping of a TLCD, which is experimentally observed from the shaking table test, is examined according to the excitation amplitude. Comparisons between test results and analytical transfer functions showed that natural frequencies of TLCD and the ratio of the liquid mass in a horizontal column to the total liquid mass do not depend on the excitation amplitude, while the damping ratio of a TLCD increases with larger excitation amplitude.

Energy dissipation devices can be considered as an alternative for the seismic performance enhancement of existing structures based on the strengthened seismic design code. In this study, seismic response mitigation effects of friction dampers are investigated through the shaking table test of a full scale 3 story building structure. Frist, the bilinear force-displacement relationship of a structure-brace-friction damper system and the effect of brace-friction damper on the increase of frequency and damping ratio are identified. Second, frequency, displacement, and torque dependent characteristics of the friction damper are investigated by using harmonic load excitation tests. Finally, the shaking table tests are performed for a full scale 3 story steel frame. System identification results using random signal excitation indicated that brace-friction damper increased structural damping ratio and frequency, and El Centro earthquake test showed that brace-friction damper reduced the peak displacement and acceleration significantly. In particular, it was observed that the damping effect due to friction damper becomed obvious when the structure was excited by more intensive load causing frequent slippage of the friction dampers.

Small-scale models have been frequently used for seismic performance tests because of limited testing facilities and economic reasons. However, there are not also enough studies on similitude law for analogizing prototype structures accurately with small-scale models, although conventional similitude law based on geometry similitude is not well consistent in their inelastic seismic behaviors. When fabricating prototype and small-scale model of reinforced concrete structures by using the same material, added mass is demanded from a volumetric change and scale factor could be limited due to aggregate size. Therefore, it is desirable to use different materials for small-scale model. In our recent study, a modified similitude law was derived depending on geometric scale factor, equivalent modulus ratio and ultimate strain ratio. And quasi-static and pseudo-dynamic tests on the specimens are carried out using constant and variable modulus ratios, and correlation between prototype and small-scale model is investigated based on their test results. In this study, tests on scaled model of different concrete compressive strength aye carried out. In shaking table tests, added mass can not be varied. Thus, constant added mass on expected maximum displacement was applied and the validity was verified in shaking table tests. And shaking table tests on non-artificial mass model is carried out to settle a limitation of acceleration and the validity was verified in shanking table tests.

The present study was undertaken to establish the decision standard of builds for the insured by using the ratio of weight-for-height as build index. Materials being examined were the ratio of weight-for-height being calculated from the actually measured heights and weights of a total of 15,838 insured persons who were examined medically at Honam Medical Department of Dong Bang Life Insurance Company, Ltd. from June, 1979 to September, 1985. The ratio of weight-for-height is calculated by the following formula. The ratio of weight-for-height(%)=$\frac{weight(kg){\times}100}{\{height(cm)-100\}{\times}0.9(kg)$ The results were as follows: 1. The distribution of the ratio of weight. for-height of the 15,838 insureds follows Log normal distribution being skewed to the left(the direction of underweight). 2. The ratio of weight-for-height were Log transformed to lead to a sym metrical pattern of distribution in which statistical rules are known to be applied more exactly. Thereafter, the establishment of dicision standard of builds was undertaken by using the log of the ratio of weight-for-height as build index. Through all ages in male, the ratio of weight-for-height indicating the range of standard lives including slight overweighted and underweighted lives besides normal lives is 80-130%, and corresponds to $"M-2{\delta}"-"M+1.5{\delta}"$ and to $M{\pm}20%$ ; in female, 85-135%, and corresponds to $"M-2{\delta}"-"M+1.5{\delta}"$ and to $M{\pm}20%$. Through all ages in male, the ratio of weight-for-height indicating the initial level of super-overweighted and super-underweighted lives is 130-150% and 75-80%,and corresponds to $M+3{\delta}\;and\;M-3{\delta}$ and to M+40% and M-25% respectively;in female, 140-160% and 75-80%, and corresponds to $M+3{\delta}\;and\;M-3{\delta}$ and to M+40%-+50% and M-25% respectively. 3. Author's rating table model for builds(a table of weight per height) is proposed. On the table, the ratings for builds, i. e. standard, super-weighted and super-underweighted lives, are listed.

This paper represents a improved data compression algorithm of mixed text file by 2 byte completion Hangout and 1 byte alphabet from. Original LZW algorithm efficiently compress a alphabet text file but inefficiently compress a 2 byte completion Hangout text file. To solve this problem, data compression algorithm using 2 byte prefix field and 2 byte suffix field for compression table have developed. But it have a another problem that is compression ratio of alphabet text file decreased. In this paper, we proposes improved LZW algorithm, that is, compression table in the Extended LZW(ELZW) algorithm uses 2 byte prefix field for pointer of a table and 1 byte suffix field for repeat counter. where, a prefix field uses a pointer(index) of compression table and a suffix field uses a counter of overlapping or recursion text data in compression table. To increase compression ratio, after construction of compression table, table data are properly packed as different bit string in accordance with a alphabet, Hangout, and pointer respectively. Therefore, proposed ELZW algorithm is superior to 1 byte LZW algorithm as 7.0125 percent and superior to 2 byte LZW algorithm as 11.725 percent. This paper represents a improved data Compression algorithm of mixed text file by 2 byte completion Hangout and 1 byte alphabet form. This document is an example of what your camera-ready manuscript to ITC-CSCC 2002 should look like. Authors are asked to conform to the directions reported in this document.

본 연구의 목적은 CR과 DR에서 가열장치를 구비한 부착형 탄소발열체 X선 촬영대의 사용에 따른 SNR과 CNR을 측정하여 부착 전과 부착 후의 화질을 평가하고자 한다. 알루미늄 계단 실험에서 CR은 부착 후에 SNR과 CNR이 증가하였지만 DR에서는 SNR과 CNR이 감소하였다. 인체모형팬텀 실험에서는 CR의 경우에 저에너지 저선량과 고에너지 고선량에서만 SNR과 CNR이 증가하였지만 다른 모든 조건에서는 SNR과 CNR이 감소하였다. 결론적으로 환자에게 온화한 느낌과 안전감을 제공하고 심적인 불안감을 해소하여 검사에 도움을 줄 수 있지만 임상적용에 있어서는 탄소발열체를 포함한 바닥필름과 보호필름의 두께와 재질을 고려하지 않으면 화질에 영향이 주기 때문에 향후 지속적인 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

In addition to protocol adjustments during CT examinations, the height of the CT table can also affect image quality. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the change in image quality depending on the height of the table in brain CT, which accounts for a large proportion of CT examinations, by measuring signal to contrast to noise ratio (CNR) and noise power spectrum (NPS) using the head phantom and evaluating them. The head phantom images were acquired using Philips Brilliance iCT 256. When the image was acquired, the table height was adjusted to 815, 865, 915, 965, 1015, and 1030 mm, respectively, and each scan was performed 3 times for each height. The CNR result showed the highest value at 965 mm, which is the height adjacent to the center of the head phantom. NPS showed the lowest NPS at 915 mm, the center of the head phantom in the low frequency region. From these results, it can be seen that the height of the table in CT examination is closely related to the image quality, and it can be seen the characteristics of image quality according to CT table through quantitative evaluation methods such as CNR and NPS.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between lumbar lordotic angle and the power of trunk flexors, extensors in normal adults Methods : 34 normal participants participated in this study. Their lumbar lordotic angle(L1-S1 Cobb's angle and L1-L5 cobb's angle) was measured by x-ray taken on lateral direction, erect cross-arm position. And muscle power of trunk flexors and extensors of each participant measured using Cybex HUMAC NORM. Results : 1. The average of L1-S1 Cobb's angle was $47.21{\pm}8.88^{\circ}$ and the average of L1-L5 Cobb's angle was $36.32{\pm}9.62^{\circ}$(Table IV). 2. The average ratio of trunk flexors/extensors was $6.44{\pm}19.31%$(Table V). The average power of the trunk flexors was $165.18{\pm}55.05$(Newton-Meter/kg), and the power of trunk extensors was $257.18{\pm}85.53$ (Newton-Meter/kg)(Table VI). 3. Lumbar lordotic angle has no relation to the ratio of trunk flexors/extensors(Table VII, Fig. 4). 4. Lumbar lordotic angle has no relation to both the power of the trunk flexors and extensors(Table VIII, Fig. 5, Fig. 6). Conclusions : These results suggest that the lumbar lordotic angle measured by radiograph could not evaluate the power and ratio of trunk flexors, extensors.
