  • At a brewery, the base plate-to-shell weld seam of a $90-m^3$ vertical cylindrical steel tank failed catastrophically. The 4 ton tank "took off" like a rocket leaving its contents behind, and landed on a van, crushing it. The top of the tank reached a height of 30 m. The internal overpressure responsible for the failure was an estimated 60 kPa. A rupture disc rated at < 50 kPa provided overpressure protection and thus prevented the tank from being covered by the European Pressure Equipment Directive. This safeguard failed and it was later discovered that the rupture disc had been installed upside down. The organizational root cause of this incident may be a fundamental lack of appreciation of the hazards of large volumes of low-pressure compressed air or gas. A contributing factor may be that the standard piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) symbol for a rupture disc may confuse and lead to incorrect installation. Compressed air systems are ubiquitous. The medium is not toxic or flammable. Such systems however, when operated at "slight overpressure" can store a great deal of energy and thus constitute a hazard that ought to be addressed by safety managers.

  • Recently, The Building has became high rising and large scaling according to development of economy in domestic and other country, also the building has increased a variety of functions of insulation for warmth. and it has a symbol of economic growth, but it has risk factor for disasters such as fire. this hazards include not only general building but also residential building. Recently, Grenfell Fire that occurred in England has increased in combustion to the 24th floor of the 1st floor for 1 hour. it resulted in 80 deaths and 79 missing persons. In this study we suggest basic data of residential building for fire safety design related to domestic environment to analyze the problem of Grenfell Tower.

  • Adenoviral vectors are among the most promising vectors available for human gene therapy. However, the use of recombinant adenoviral vectors, including replicationcompetent adenovirus (RCA), raises a variety of safety concerns in relation to the development of new therapies based on gene therapy. To examine how organic compounds change in rat plasma following the injection of adenovirus, $\beta$-galactosidase expressing recombinant adenovirus (designated rAdLacZ) or RCA, we investigated the content of fatty acids (FAs), which are important biochemical indicators in pathological conditions. Pattern recognition analysis on the level of FAs in rat plasma is described for the visual discrimination of adenovirus infection groups from normal controls. Plasma FAs from four control rats (normal group), and from four rats with rAdLacZ infection and six rats with RCA infection (the two abnormal groups), were examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring modes as their tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives. In total, 20 FAs were positively detected and quantified. The results of the Student's t-test on the normal mean of two abnormal groups, the levels of three FAs (p<0.05) from rAdLacZ group and eleven FAs (p<0.05) from RCA group were significantly different. When star symbol plotting was applied to the group mean values of 20 FAs after normalization to the corresponding normal mean values, the resulting eicosagonal star patterns of the two infected groups were distorted into similar shapes, but were distinguishable from each other. Thus, these approaches will be useful for screening and monitoring of diagnostic markers for the effects of infection following the use of adenoviral vectors in gene therapy.

  • 일본은 약 200만 명이었던 지역방재의 중핵적 존재인 의용소방대원의 수가 점점 감소하여 현재는 88만 명 수준으로 감소하여 이대로 가면 지역 방재체제에 지장을 초래할 우려까지 있고, 사회경제의 발전에 따라 산업구조와 취업구조가 크게 변화하여 의용소방대원의 약 70%가 피고용자(봉급생활자)인 상황이다. 따라서 의용소방대를 활성화하기 위해서는 봉급생활자가 의용소방대에 들어오기 쉽고 활동하기 쉬운 환경을 만들 필요가 있으며, 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력이 절실히 필요하다. 일본 소방청은 의용소방대원을 고용한 사업체의 의용소방대활동에 대한 이해와 협력을 얻기 위해서 2006년도부터 의용소방대 활동에 협력하고 있는 사업체에 대해 "의용소방대 협력사업체 표시제도"를 도입하여 운영하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 제도 도입배경, 마크(표시증)교부 기준 등 운영실태에 대해 분석하여 소개한다.

  • Firesafety design engineerings have been mainly derived from complicated rearrangement of descriptive specifications in codes or regulations through a great number of lessons from fire disasters. In this paper, the author refers to some recent developments in the field of building fire protection. At first, the author expresses his viewpoints concerning performance-based design codes, which have been popular throughout the world as a symbol of freedom from restricted usage of building materials and components prescrived in regulation or bylaws, in spite of some conflicts between objects-oriented design method and industrial mass production. Secondly, the author introduces several innovative fire protection methods adopted for large or void spaces in building complex. Finally, the author forcasts a next development of firesafety science and technology, aimed at securing personal safety in hyperscale urban areas.

  • Today, cars have developed into intelligent automobiles that combine advanced control equipment and IT technology to provide driving assistance and convenience to users. These vehicles provide infotainment services to the driver, but this does not improve the safety of the driver. Accordingly, V2X communication, which forms a network between a vehicle and a vehicle, between a vehicle and an infrastructure, or between a vehicle and a human, is drawing attention. Therefore, various techniques for improving channel estimation performance without changing the IEEE 802.11p standard have been proposed, but they do not satisfy the packet error rate (PER) performance required by the C-ITS service. In this paper, we analyze existing channel estimation techniques and propose a new channel estimation scheme that achieves better performance than existing techniques. It does this by applying the updated matrix for the data pilot symbol to the construct data pilot (CDP) channel estimation scheme and by further performing the interpolation process in the frequency domain. Finally, through simulations based on the IEEE 802.11p standard, we confirmed the performance of the existing channel estimation schemes and the proposed channel estimation scheme by coded PER.

  • 농기계의 대형화, 고성능화로 장치가 복잡해지면서 안전표지 및 조작표시의 역할이 증대되고 있으나 기존에 제정된 KS B 7947의 경우 ISO표준 도안 및 작도방법을 준용하지 않고 있어 기호가 조잡하고 복잡하며 명확히 이해하기 어려워 산업체의 활용도가 낮은 상황이며, 제조사별로 상이한 도안을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 ISO표준 도안 및 작도방법을 준용하여 그래픽 심볼 도안을 개정하여 산업체의 활용도가 높아져 조작표시를 농업인이 쉽게 인식하고 이해하여 위험 등을 피할 수 있도록 하여 사고 예방에 기여할 수 있도록 하는 것이 중요할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 안전표지 및 조작표시를 ISO 표준 도안 및 작도방법을 준용하여 작성하기 위한 방법을 연구하고 KS B-7946에 제시된 65개 항목 중 일본과 미국에서 동시에 사용되고 있는 항목 4개는 유지하고 10개 항목은 삭제하며, 승용 동력운반차, 매연저감 장치 등 11개 항목을 추가하고 40개 항목의 수정을 통하여 국내 농기계 관련 안전표지 및 조작표시의 그래픽 심볼을 개선하고 그 결과를 ISO에 국제표준 규격도안 추가 및 개정을 제안하고자 수행되었다.

  • Recently, the high-rise building has been constructed competitively because it is symbol of the national competitive power including the technical power. The higher buildings are getting, the more important building mechanical systems are. So, the building mechanical systems are getting developed. Among the building mechanical systems, the sanitary system is basically necessary in order to maintain the building hygienically along with convenience and safety. This study has been investigated for various cases of high-rise building plumbing system. As a result, a variety of zoning method has been applied to most skyscrapers depending on the building height in the building mechanical system. And a variety of joint have been applied to minimize the Shortening and Sway. Also, the drainage in same uses has been discharged outside of a build through the one vertical pipe line. And airing system has been used like Individual Vent Pipe Yoke Vent Pipe Stack Vent Pipe Loop Vent Pipe Relief Vent Pipe method. It is sure that this study could be used as the high-rise building design.

  • 환경 친화적 자동차는 우리나라 정부가 추구하는 저탄소 녹생 성장 전략의 상징이어 왔다. 최근 정책 추세에 맞추어, 새로운 LPG 충전소가 많이 지어지고 있다. 하지만 대규모 가스 저장시설에서의 안전사고는 사회적으로 막대한 인명 피해와 재산 피해를 야기시켜 왔다. 이 논문에서는, LPG 충전소에서 안전사고를 사전에 예방하기 위하여 설치방법에 따라 경제적 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 지하 저장소는 그 유지관리 및 효율적인 토지이용 면에서 긍정적인 것으로 나타났다.
