The concept of the Mobile Harbor had been made recently as a kind of feeder vehicle to transfer a certain amount of container boxes (i.e. 250 TEU at a time) from main ocean container vessels over 5,000 TEU capacity to the container terminal on land. In a harbor a short distance apart from the land, the container loading/unloading operation has to be performed on the main deck of the Mobile Harbor using the container cranes in the state of side-by-side mooring with protection of fenders and robot arms in the gap. Even under the ocean condition of the sea state class 2 or 3, the operation has to be confirmed to be safely performed. In this situation, the floating bodies considering the multiple-body interaction effect also has to be examined whether they might behave safely or not. Especially, this study focuses on the dynamic behavior of the Mobile harbor when a container box is hanged on the crane and the impact load due to the slewing motion is imposed in a certain sea state. The motion response should be controlled within the motion level to assure the safe operation.

Automobile was first introduced in 1903 in South Korea, the masses of the car was carried out rapidly compared to other countries. However, many people were killed in a traffic accidents and economic loss was occurred due to the spread of the automobile. In South Korea, 2012, traffic accident occurred 223,656 times, 5,392 fatality, 344,565 injured people. In the last five years, about 224,000 accidents per year were occurring. In other words, 610 traffic accidents occur and about 15 people pass away in one day. In addition, the proportion of traffic accidents is first place in the OECD countries and it is very high in the world. Understand occurrence tendency of traffic accident, accident frequency rate of the driver who drives more than 10 years was higher than the novice driver. In addition, as a result of examining the cause of the traffic accident, breach of safe driving obligation appears highest case (125,391 times), and followed by signal violation, break safety distance. Therefore, the majority of traffic accidents occurred by the lack of safety awareness of the driver. In this study, prevent the loss of human life and property in traffic disaster, by establish disaster prevention measures that investigated by questionnaire survey and statistical data of the state of consciousness and driving posture in response to the driving history of the driver.

Due to inaccurate safe navigation estimates, maritime accidents have been occurring consistently. In order to solve this, the precise positioning technology using carrier phase information is used, but due to high buildings near inland waterways or inclination, satellite signals might become weak or blocked for some time. Under this weak signal environment for some time, the GPS raw measurements become less accurate so that it is difficult to search and maintain the integer ambiguity of carrier phase. In this paper, a method to generate code and carrier phase measurements under this environment and maintain resilient navigation is proposed. In the weak signal environment, the position of the receiver is estimated using an inertial sensor, and with this information, the distance between the satellite and the receiver is calculated to generate code measurements using IGS product and model. And, the carrier phase measurements are generated based on the statistics for generating fractional phase. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, the proposed method was compared for a fixed blocked time. It was confirmed that in case of a weak or blocked satellite signals for 1 to 5 minutes, the proposed method showed more improved results than the inertial navigation only, maintaining stable positioning accuracy within 1 m.

Most car accidents occur when the driver does not look at the lane. Specially When the driver needs to find the path through the navigation, the driver have to look the other site. The number of such accidents can be prevented, if the driver receives the information without gazing other spot during the car is running. HUD (Head-Up Display) Technology, developed for enhancing the combat effectiveness and pilot's visibility in fighter, is applied to luxury cars for the safe operation of the driver. In recent years, the simple speed, lubrication status etc., as well as navigation information also shows through HUD. HUD is expected to increase in the future. But these HUD show the information elsewhere in the driver's eye focus. It is necessary to focus on the windshield for a few msec to check the information. In this paper, Introduced method display the HUD information in 3D as well as in similar distance the driver's eye focus so that the driver can operate the car more safely.

Excitation and propagation of guided waves are very complex problems in pipes due to their dispersive nature. Pipes are commonly used in the oil, chemical or nuclear industry and hence must be inspected regularly to ensure continued safe operation. The normal mode expansion(NME) method is given for the amplitude with which any propagating waveguide mode is generated in the pipes by applied surface tractions. Numerical results are calculated based on the NME method using different sources, i.e., non-axisymmetric partial loading and quasi-axisymmetric loading sources. The sum of amplitude coefficients for 0~nineth order of the harmonic modes are calculated based on the NME method and the dispersion curves in pipes. The superimposed total field which is namely the angular profile, varies with propagating distance and circumferential angle. This angular profile of guided waves provides information for setting the transducer position to find defects in pipes.

In this study, an anchor dragging simulation was performed using the CEL method to design a rock-berm, which is a protection method for submarine cables. In order to simulate an anchor drag, preliminary simulations were first performed to determine the initial anchor penetration depth, anchor drag velocity, drag angle, and distance between the anchor and rock-berm. Based on the preceding simulation results, a safe rock-berm design for protecting the submarine cables was simulated to calculate the anchor penetration depth by the anchor dragging. As a result, the penetration depth of the anchor was found to be shallower in a hard seabed, and the penetration depth was deeper in a soft seabed, the height of the rock-berm was determined according to the physical properties of the seabed.

Tetralogy of Fallot was repaired by a transatrial-transpulmonary approach in 91 of 250 patients treated surgically [including redo operations] between April 1986 and December 1989. Their age ranged from 6 months to 14 years [mean 39.7 months]. Associated cardiovascular anomalies were right aortic arch [n=22], ASD [n=12], PDA [n=5], persistent left SVC [n=5], and others [n=6]. PA index was measured pre-operatively since 1987 to estimate pulmonary artery size and safe total correction[mean 289$\pm$110mm2/BSA]. Eight patients received previous shunt take down procedure concomitantly. Pulmonary arteriotomy was extended through small pulmonary annulus to a minimal distance upon the right ventricular infundibulum and transannular patch was applied in 38 patients [41.3%], in 31 of them monocuspid patch was utilized. pRV/LV was measured at operation room in 77 patients [mean 0.58$\pm$0.36]. Operative mortality was 6.6% [6/91]. The causes of death were low cardiac output [n=5], arrhythmia[n=1] and respiratory failure [n=1]. At follow-up between 12 months and 57 months [mean 30.8 months] most patients were in New York Heart Association class I without cardiac medication. There was no late death, but reoperations were required in 3 patients to relieve residual right ventricular outflow obstruction. Thus successful repair of tetralogy of Fallot can be accomplished in most patients including infants by transatrial-transpulmonary approach and the better result can be anticipated with respect to postoperative right ventricular function and arrhythmia than the conventional transventricular approach.

Objective: Ultrasound can be used in the treatment of large intracerebral hematoma. The authors present our experiences with Ultrasound-guided catheter placement for lysis and drainage of ganglionic hematoma, with emphasis on technical aspects. Methods: The authors applied real-time ultrasonography for the aspiration of intracerebral hematoma in 6cases. Ultrasound-guided aspiration via a burrhole was performed under local anesthesia. We selected a temporal entry point instead of the frequently used precoronal approach in ganglionic hematoma. A burrhole was made 4 to 6cm posterior from posterior border of frontal process of the zygomatic bone at the level of 4 to 5cm above the external auditory meatus. Results: In all patients, the catheter was placed accurately into the hematoma target. All patients were irrigated with urokinase once to three times a day. The catheter could be removed within two or three days. The mean hematoma volume was reduced from initially 32mL to 5mL in an average of two days. There were no intraoperative complications related to the use of real-time ultrasonography and no postoperative infections were noted. Conclusion: Ultrasound allows an easy and precise localization of the hematoma and the distance from the surface to the target can be calculated. Ultrasound-guided catheter placement for fibrinolysis and hematoma drainage is a simple and safe procedure.

The road lightings have made our living environment safe and active, since it was first installed in 1900 in Korea. As the industry developed, various kind of road lightings have been installed in an outdoor area. But the spilt light from the road lightings have caused health problem like the sleeplessness, the depression, the failure to thrive and the nearsightedness to children. The light trespass caused by road lightings vary with the height of road lightings, the distance from road lightings to the window and the BUG rating of road lightings. In this paper, we analyze the effect on the light trespass by the spatial installation position of road lightings using by RELUX program. And we derive the characteristics of the light trespass according to the spatial installation position of the road lightings in residential area near road.

This paper deals with an optimal determination process for the built-in location of localizer under restrictive siting area conditions of a domestic P-airport. Aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the localizer structure can be used a reference to find the safe distance from jet blast and the position at which the reasonable structural loading is applied. Wind tunnel experiment is conducted to measure aerodynamic loadings. The finite element analysis for structural deformation is employed to get the information of structural failure. A new localizer's position is determined by considering aerodynamic loading, structural strength and thermal loading due to jet blast. Deflector effect was also investigated in this study. In conclusion, the location of localizer can be placed at shorter than the current position and greatly decreased if the deflector is applied at the front of localizer.
