점적관수 자재 및 분수호스의 관수균일도 실험결과 사용압력과 배관길이에 따라 유출량의 차이가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 점적관수 중에서는 점적단추의 관수 균일도가 가장 높았고, 점적테잎, 점적호스의 순으로 나타났다. 관의 직경과 길이 및 유량에 따라 다르지만 마찰에 의한 압력손실이 상당히 크므로 점적관수의 사용압력과 배관길이 선택에 주의할 필요가 있다. 제품에 따라 약간의 차이는 있었지만 대체로 점적호스는 50m, 점적테잎은 70m 정도를 최대 배관길이로 제한하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단되었다. 점적단추는 실험에서 설정한 최대길이인 100m까지도 사용이 가능한 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 관수시스템의 압력을 체크하여 충분한 압력을 확보하고 있는지 검토할 필요가 있고, 부족시 별도의 가압펌프를 설치하여 적정압력 범위를 만족할 수 있도록 하며 물구멍이 막히지 않도록 필터를 설치하고 수질을 관리하는 등의 유지관리가 필요한 것으로 판단되었다. 분수호스의 경우에는 균등계수가 매우 낮아 균일한 관수를 기대할 수 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 균일한 관수 제어를 필요로 하는 높은 수준의 시설재배에서는 가능한 한 점적관수를 사용하고, 비교적 낮은 수준의 배지수분 관리가 이루어지는 시설재배에서도 분수호스를 이용할 경우 배관길이를 $30{\sim}35m$이내로 제한하는 것이 바람직할 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: Melatonin induces human stem cells, converts pre-osteoblasts to mature osteoblasts, and reduces the duration of this transition. However, melatonin itself prevents activation of osteoclasts. Here, we evaluate the role of melatonin in prevention of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. Materials and Methods: In this experimental-interventional study, 30 rats were evaluated in 3 groups. The first and second groups received saline and zoledronic acid, respectively, for 4 weeks and the third group received 4 weeks of zoledronic acid and 3 weeks of melatonin simultaneously. First-right-maxillary-molar extraction was performed for all animals, which were sacrificed after 4 weeks of recovery. The extraction sockets were examined histologically for the presence of osteonecrosis, number of osteoclasts and fibroblasts, severity of inflammation, and vascularization. Data were analyzed by chi-square, one-way ANOVA, Tukey, Kruskal-Wallis and Fisher's exact statistical tests (α=0.05). Results: Osteonecrosis was observed in 20%, 90%, and 70% of the first, second and third groups, respectively (P=0.008). The lowest number of osteoclasts and fibroblasts was seen in the third group. Conclusion: Melatonin may effectively prevent some undesirable side effects of bisphosphonates. However, further studies are required to confirm the results of this study.

Background: The precise knowledge of anatomy and the region of transverse process (TP) and superior articular processes (AP) and their distance from the skin are important in blocking and treating lumbar facet syndrome. Evaluation of these anatomic distances from 3rd and 5th lumbar vertebrae in both sides and in different body mass index (BMI) in healthy volunteers might improve knowledge of ultrasound (US) lumbar medial branch nerve blocks (LMBB). Methods: Bilateral US in the 3rd and 5th lumbar vertebrae of 64 volunteers carried out and the distance between skin to TP and skin to AP was measured. These distances were compared on both sides and in different BMI groups. The analysis was done using SPSS 11. Analysis of variance was used to compare the means at three vertebral levels (L3-L5) and different BMI groups. P values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The paired t-test was used to compare the mean distance between skin to TP and skin to AP on both sides. Results: The distance between skin to TP and skin to AP of 3rd vertebrae to 5th vertebrae was increased in both right and left sides (P < 0.001) from up to down. The mean distance from skin to TP were greater on the left side compared to the right in all three vertebral levels from L3 to L5 (P values 0.014, 0.024, and 0.006 respectively). The mean distance from skin to TP and the skin to AP was statistically significant in different BMI groups (P < 0.001). Conclusions: We found many anatomic distances which may increase awareness of US guided LMBB.

Nowadays, strengthening of buildings is an inclusive and effective field in civil engineering that is not only applicable to the buildings but also it can be developed for the bridges. Rehabilitation and strengthening of structures are highly recommended for the existing structures due to the alter in codes and provisions as well as buildings' use change. Extensive surveys have been conducted in this field in the world that propose wide variety of methods for strengthening of structures. In recent years, more specific researches have been carried out that present novel materials for rehabilitation beside proposing methods and performing techniques. In the current study, a novel technique for developing the bending capacity of reinforced concrete beams to enhance their performance as well as rehabilitating and reforming the performance of reinforced concrete beams with nonstandard lap splices, has been proposed. In this method, a post-tensioned concrete layer is added to the side face of the concrete beams built in 1:1 scale. Results reveals that addition of the post-tensioned layer enhances the beams' performance and covers their weaknesses. In this method, 18 reinforced concrete beams were prepared for the bending test which were subjected to the four-point pushover test after they were reinforced. The testing process ended when the samples reached complete failure status. Results show that the performance and flexural capacity of reinforced beams without lap splice is improved 22.7% compared to the samples without the post-tensioned layer, while it is enhanced up to at least 80% compared to the reinforced beams with nonstandard lap splice. Furthermore, the location of plastic hinges formation was transformed from the beam's mid-span to the 1/3 of span's end and the beam's cracking pattern was significantly improved.

본 논문에서는 BPSK변조를 사용하는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)기반의 시스템에서 2 branch로 나눈 후에 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform)를 사용하고 DHT(Discrete Hilbert Transform)와 복소수를 이용하여 스펙트럼을 변화시켜 SSB(Singe Side Band) 전송과 같은 효과를 내는 시스템 모델을 제시하고 성능을 평가한다. 또한 제안하는 시스템은 한 정보신호를 SSB전송과 같이 절반의 스펙트럼으로 송신을 할 뿐만 아니라 전체의 스펙트럼을 양측파대라 할 때 양측파대 중 한쪽의 단측파대를 통해 BPSK 변조된 하나의 정보신호를 다른쪽의 단측파대를 통해 다른 BPSK 변조된 정보신호를 동시에 송신하고 수신기에는 하나의 OFDM시스템의 신호처럼 들어온 신호에서 양측파대 각각에서 정보신호를 구분 복조 한다. 또한 각각의 복조된 BPSK 신호는 이론적인 BPSK신호와 거의 유사한 BER 성능을 보인다. 즉 제안하는 시스템 모델은 하나의 BPSK신호를 절반의 스펙트럼만을 사용하여 송신하거나 혹은 두 BPSK신호를 동시에 송신 할 수 있다.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)은 고속 data 전송에 효과적인 방식이다. 그러나 많은 부반송파들로 인해 높은 PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)이 되어 비선형 왜곡이 발생하게 된다. 기존의 PAPR 저감 기법인 SLM(Selective Mapping) 기법은 동일하게 복사된 정보에 phase sequences를 곱한 다음, 이들 중에서 가장 낮은 PAPR을 갖는 신호를 선택하여 전송하는 방식이다. 이 방식은 선택에 관한 부가 정보를 수신기에 전송해야 data를 정확히 복원할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SLM 기법에 부가 정보를 삽입하는 방법과 계산량을 줄이는 적응 SLM 기법을 새롭게 제안한다. 그리고, 세가지 phase sequences를 phase rotation factor로 적용하였을 때의 성능을 비교하였다. 제안된 부가정보 삽입의 적응 SLM 기법을 사용한 PAPR 저감성능은 기존의 SLM 기법과 동일하고, 계산량에서는 1/2 이상 감소되므로 더빠른 OFDM통신이 가능하게 된다. 또한 제시한 부가정 보 삽입방식을 적용하여 만족하는 BER 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological characteristics of the thalamoperforating arteries that arise from the P1 segment of the posterior cerebral artery. Methods: Thalamoperforating arteries located in the interpeduncular fossa were dissected in 26 formalin-fixed human cadaver brains. We investigated the origin site of thalamoperforating arteries from the P1 segment, number and diameter. and variations in their origin. Results: Thalamoperforating arteries arose from the superior, posterior or posterosuperior surfaces of the P1 segment at the mean 1.93 mm (range, 0.41-4.71 mm) distance from the basilar apex and entered the brain through the posterior perforated substance. The average number was 3.6 (range 1-8) and mean diameter was 0.70 mm (range 0.24-1.18 mm). Thalamoperforating arteries could be classified into five different types according to their origin at the P1 segment: Type I (bilateral multiple), 38.5%; Type II (unilateral single, unilateral multiple), 26.9%; Type III (bilateral single), 19.2%; Type IV (unilateral single), 11.5%; Type V (unilateral multiple), 3.8%. In 15.4% of all specimens. thalamoperforating arteries arose from the only one side of P1 segment and were not noted in the other side. In such cases, the branches arising from the one side of P1 segment supplied the opposite side. Conclusion: Variations in the origin of the thalamoperforating arteries should be keep in mind to perform the surgical clipping, endovascular treatment or operation involving the interpeduncular fossa. In particular, unilateral single branch seems to be very risky and significant for surgical technique or endovascular treatment.

The problem of wheel tread defects has become a major challenge for the health management of high-speed rail as a wheel defect with small radius deviation may suffice to give rise to severe damage on both the train bogie components and the track structure when a train runs at high speeds. It is thus highly desirable to detect the defects soon after their occurrences and then conduct wheel turning for the defective wheelsets. Online wheel condition monitoring using wheel impact load detector (WILD) can be an effective solution, since it can assess the wheel condition and detect potential defects during train passage. This study aims to develop an FBG-based track-side wheel condition monitoring method for the detection of wheel tread defects. The track-side sensing system uses two FBG strain gauge arrays mounted on the rail foot, measuring the dynamic strains of the paired rails excited by passing wheelsets. Each FBG array has a length of about 3 m, slightly longer than the wheel circumference to ensure a full coverage for the detection of any potential defect on the tread. A defect detection algorithm is developed for using the online-monitored rail responses to identify the potential wheel tread defects. This algorithm consists of three steps: 1) strain data pre-processing by using a data smoothing technique to remove the trends; 2) diagnosis of novel responses by outlier analysis for the normalized data; and 3) local defect identification by a refined analysis on the novel responses extracted in Step 2. To verify the proposed method, a field test was conducted using a test train incorporating defective wheels. The train ran at different speeds on an instrumented track with the purpose of wheel condition monitoring. By using the proposed method to process the monitoring data, all the defects were identified and the results agreed well with those from the static inspection of the wheelsets in the depot. A comparison is also drawn for the detection accuracy under different running speeds of the test train, and the results show that the proposed method can achieve a satisfactory accuracy in wheel defect detection when the train runs at a speed higher than 30 kph. Some minor defects with a depth of 0.05 mm~0.06 mm are also successfully detected.

In this study, the effects of four major river project and Kumho River, second biggest branch of Nakdong River, were investigated to provide basic data for proper management of Nakdong River's water quality. Daily sampling processes at three different points, Munsanri (the upper side of Kangjung-Koryung weir), Kangchang (the outlet of the Kumho River) and Samunjin (the lower side of Kangjung-Koryung weir and junction of Kumho River and Nakdong River), were conducted from May 1st 2011 to Sep. 4th 2011. Water samples were analyzed for nine factors, DO, BOD, COD, T-N, T-P, pH, turbidity, SS, and coliform. As demonstrated by the results, concentrations of BOD, T-N, T-P and coliform at Nakdong River were affected by water quality of Kumho River while SS and turbidity were affected by constructions for Kangjung-Koryung weir. Further studies, for example, affects of wastewater treatment facilities, should be followed.
