Objectives : To investigate the role of Meridian flow on acupuncture effect, we observed the therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture (EA) after Meridian blocking with pressure in arthritic rats. Methods : To make reliable and local monoarthritis, $40{\;}{\mu}l$ complete Freund's adjuvant was injected into the tibio-tarsal joint. EA was applied on acupoint GB30 while 5 Pascal pressure was added to the middle of the Gall bladder Meridian around GB31 between acupoint GB30 and arthritic foci (ipsilateral meridian blocking: IB) or opposite part of IB (contralateral part blocking: CB). To observe the change of arthritis, extension and flexion pain scores and circumferential differences were evaluated once a week. Results : EA stimulation without blocking reduced arthritic pain significantly. IB abolished the acupuncture effects and there was no statistical difference with the arthritic control group, whereas the CB group still showed the therapeutic effects of acupuncture. Conclusions : This finding strongly supports that the Meridian blocking with local pressure reduced the therapeutic effect of EA.

In this study, the exhaust characteristics of the diesel engine for the change of the mixing ratio of biodiesel fuel were quantitatively analyzed by using the numerical analysis method. As the fuel used in the experiment, the diesel and biodiesel(waste oil, soybean oil), the mixed fuel BD2(Diesel only), BD3, BD5, BD20, BD50 and BD100 were used. The injection pressure($p_{inj}$) was set to 400bar, 600bar, 800bar, 1000bar and 1200bar as the experimental variable. Also the concept of the standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient based on the statistics was introduced in order to analyze the exhaust characteristics of the quantitative NOx and Soot according to the injection pressure and the mixing ratio variation of biodiesel blending fuel. It is considered that as a result of studies, for the waste oil, NOx and Soot can be simultaneously reduced through control of the mixing ratio at the regions of $p_{inj}=400bar$ and $p_{inj}=600bar$, and the Soot can be reduced without affecting on the emission of NOx at more than $p_{inj}=800bar$. For the soybean oil, NOx and Soot can be simultaneously reduced at $p_{inj}=400bar$ and the Soot can be reduced without affecting on the emission of NOx at $p_{inj}=600bar$.

Surge phenomena in the zone of reduced speeds in a system of a nine-stage axial flow compressor coupled with ducts were studied analytically by use of a surge transient simulation code. Main results are as follows. (1) Expansion of apparently stable, non-surge working area of the pressure vs. flow field beyond the initial stage-stall line was predicted by the code in the lower speed region. The area proved analytically to be caused by significantly mismatched stage-working conditions, particularly with the front stages deep in the rotating stall branch of the characteristics, as was already known in situ and in steady-state calculations also. (2) Surge frequencies were found to increase for decreasing compressor speeds as far as the particular compressor system was concerned. (3) The tendency was found to be explained by a newly introduced volume-modified reduced surge frequency. It suggests that the surge frequency is related intimately with the process of emptying and filling of air into the delivery volume. (4) The upstream range of movement of the fluid mass having once passed through the compressor in surge was found to reduce toward the lower speeds, which could have caused additionally the increase in surge frequency. (5) The concept of the volume-modified reduced surge frequency was able to explain, though qualitatively at present, the behaviors of the area-pressure ratio parameter for the stall stagnation boundary proposed earlier by the author.

The active earth pressure on the retaining wall is reduced by 3-Dimensional effects of the ground. Therefore, the test was focused on reducing the earth pressure on the retaining wall by inserting the vertical reinforcement in the backfill ground to develope the 3-Dimensional effects. Model tests in sand were peformed to measure the 3-Dimensional effects of the vertical reinforcement on the active earth pressure and its distribution and results were compared with the theories. The size of the vertical reinforcement, the geometry of the backfill space, and the wall friction of vertical reinforcement were varied. It was observed that the active earth pressure and its distribution on the underground structure were affected by the size of the vertical reforcements and wall friction.

Gas pressure sintering is a promising process in various densification methods of high strength Si3N4 ceramics. Environmental influences on gas pressure sintering of Si3N4 was investigated with the variationof packing powder, specimen container and N2 gas pressure. The specimens had higher density, larger weight loss and inhomogeneous color in graphite specimen container than in SN26 crucible. The variations of sintering densities in various packing powders (Si3N4, SN26, AlN, BN) were very small but SiC powder was synthesised in graphite crucible with Si3N4 packing powder, aluminium oxynitride compounds were synthesised in SN26 crucible with AlN packing power. Also N2 gas pressure over 20kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ reduced the densification of Si3N4 in one step-gas pressure sintering. As the result of two step-gas pressure sintering at 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 15min., relative density of 99.9% and 3-point bending strength of 1090MPa and dense microstructure of 3~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ grain size were obtained.

This experiment was conducted in order to identify the effect of the laryngeal mask airway and it's clinical utility on cardiovascular system, intraocular pressure and stress reaction at the time of anesthesia care. The heart rate, systolic arterial pressure, diastolic arterial pressure and intraocular pressure were significantly reduced in the experimental group to be compared with the control group. But, there were no significant differences in mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and blood cortisol concentration between both groups. In view of the above results, it is thought that the airway management using the laryngeal mask airway will be useful to reduce the stress condition in the induction of anesthesia.

The Korean Tilting Train eXpress may produced a strong micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit because of large train/tunnel area ration of conventional railways. This micro-pressure wave causes an impulsive noise which is a serious environmental noise pollution near tunnel exit. Tunnel hood can be the method of reducing the micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit. Therefore, parametric studies for tunnel hood are performed with respect to the hood length and size to investigate the effects of the tunnel hood. Also, axi-symmetric unsteady compressible flow solver was used to analyze train-tunnel relative motion. According to the result of numerical analysis, the maximum micro-pressure wave in tunnel exit is reduced by 56% throughout the hood establishment on conventional railways.

In this paper, numerical investigations for tank sloshing, based on commercial CFD package FLUENT, are performed to study effects of boundary layer grid, liquid viscosity and compressible air on sloshing pressure, wave height and rising time of impact pressure. Also, sloshing experiments for liquids of different viscosity are carried out to validate the numerical results. Through comparison of numerical and experimental results, a computational model including boundary layer grid can predict the sloshing pressure more accurately. Energy dissipation due to viscous friction leads to reduction of sloshing pressure and wave elevation. Sloshing pressure is also reduced because of cushion effect of compressible air. Due to high viscosity damping effect and compressible air effect, the rising time of impact pressure becomes longer. It is also found that liquid viscosity and compressible air influence distribution of dynamic pressure along the vertical tank wall.

본 연구의 목적은 비개착공으로 시공되고 있는 지하차도를 대상으로 지하차도 상부 및 측벽에 작용하는 토압을 계측하여 압입된 강관에 의한 지보효과 확인을 목적으로 하고 있다. 근래의 비개착공법은 파이프루프를 형성하기 위한 강관을 압입한 후 강관과 강관사이를 철근으로 보강하고 모르타르를 타설하는 방식으로 침하에 대한 안정성을 보다 확보하기 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이에 최근 적용되고 있는 UPRS(Upgraded Pipe Roof Structure)공법과 프론트잭킹(Front-Jacking)을 중심으로 강관 압입 후 강관에 의한 토압감소효과를 확인하기 위하여 지하차도 주변의 토압을 계측하였다. 그 결과 UPRS공법의 경우 지하차도에 토압이 상당부분 감소하여 강관보강에 의한 지보강성 효과가 발휘되는 것으로 분석되었다. 프론트잭킹 공법의 경우 지하차도 구조물이 외부에서 제작되어 압입되는 형식으로 강관을 보강시킬 필요가 없기 때문에 강관보강에 의한 토압감소효과는 예측한대로 발휘되지 않는 것으로 분석되었다.

고압처리에 의한 효소반응의 조절을 연구하기 위하여 마늘에 압을 적용하여 alliinase의 압력에 의한 활성변화를 해석하였다. 마늘을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 10분간 고압 처리한 결과 alliinase 활성은 150 MPa 및 300 MPa에서 변화가 없었고, 500MPa에서는 완전히 불활성화되었다. 한편 정제된 alliinase는 150MPa에서 30%, 300 MPa에서 80%, 500MPa에서 100% 불활성화되어, 효소의 상태에 따라 압력에 의한 불활성화 정도가 다르게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 고압처리에 의한 alliinase의 불활성화는 상온보다는 고온 또는 저온에서 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. $50^{\circ}C$에서 500MPa로 고압처리한 마늘은 allicin이 거의 생성되지 않아 매운 맛을 느낄 수 없었고, 휘발성 화합물의 50%이상이 제거되어, 마늘의 무취화에 고압처리를 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
