  • Allowing structures to uplift in earthquakes can significantly reduce or even avoid the development of plastic hinges within the structure. The permanent deformations in the structure can thus be minimized. However, uplift of footings can cause additional horizontal movements of a structure. With an increase in movement relative to adjacent structures, the probability of pounding between structures increases. This experimental study reveals that the footing mass can be used to control the vertical displacement of footing and thus reduce the horizontal displacements of an upliftable structure. A four storey model structure with plastic hinges and uplift capability was considered. Shake table tests using ten different earthquake records were conducted. Three different footing masses were considered. It is found that the amplitude of footing uplift can be greatly reduced by increasing the mass of the footing. As a result, allowing structural uplift does not necessary increase the horizontal displacement of the structure. The results show that with increasing footing weight, the interaction between structural and footing response can increase the contribution of the higher modes to the structural response. Consequently, the induced vibrations on secondary structure increase.

  • 본 논문에서는 ADALINE의 학습을 위한 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리즘은 직접 퍼지 논리 시스템을 이용하여 ADALINE의 연결강도를 조정하는 방식으로 퍼지 논리 시스템의 입력은 오차와 오차의 변화분이고, 출력은 연결강도 변화분이며, 각각의 연결강도는 스케일링 팩터만 다르게 하여 사용하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 유용성을 확인하기 위하여 노이즈 제거와 인버티드 펜들럼 제어에 대하여 시뮬레이션과 실험을 수행하였다. Widrow-Hoff의 델타 규칙과 비교하였을 때 제안한 방식은 학습율을 선택할 필요도 없고, 성능이 우수함을 확인하였다.

  • The local structural and thermodynamical properties of blends A-B/H of a diblock copolymer A-B and a homopolymer H are studied using the polymer reference interaction site model (RISM) integral equation theory with the mean-spherical approximation closure. The random phase approximation (RPA)-like static scattering function is derived and the interaction parameter is obtained to investigate the phase transition behaviors in A-B/H blends effectively. The dependences of the microscopic interaction parameter and the macrophase-microphase separation on temperature, molecular weight, block composition and segment size ratio of the diblock copolymer, density, and concentration of the added homopolymer, are investigated numerically within the framework of Gaussian chain statistics. The numerical calculations of site-site interchain pair correlation functions are performed to see the local structures for the model blends. The calculated phase diagrams for A-B/H blends from the polymer RISM theory are compared with results by the RPA model and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Our extended formal version shows the different feature from RPA in the microscopic phase separation behavior, but shows the consistency with TEM qualitatively. Scaling relationships of scattering peak, interaction parameter, and temperature at the microphase separation are obtained for the molecular weight of diblock copolymer. They are compared with the recent data by small-angle neutron scattering measurements.

  • Background: Those classified as Tae-Eum (TE)-type people in Sasang constitutional medicine (SCM) are prone to obesity. Although extensive clinical observations have confirmed this tendency, the underlying physiological mechanisms are unknown. Here, we propose a novel hypothesis using integrative physiology to explain this phenomenon. Methods: Hypoactive lung function in the TE type indicates that respiration is attenuated at the cellular level - specifically, mitochondrial oxygen consumption. Because a functional reduction in cellular energy metabolism is suggestive of intrinsic hypoactivity in the consumption (or production) of metabolic energy, we reasoned that this tendency can readily cause weight gain via an increase in anabolism. Thus, this relationship can be derived from the graph of cellular metabolic power plotted against body weight. We analyzed the clinical data of 548 individuals to test this hypothesis. Results: The statistical analysis revealed that the cellular metabolic rate was lower in TEtype individuals and that their percentage of obesity (body mass index >25) was significantly higher compared to other constitutional groups. Conclusion: Lower cellular metabolic power can be an explanation for the obesity trend in TE type people.

  • 본 연구에서는 랫트, 토끼, 닭, 개 등의 각종 동물들의 약물동태학적 파라미터를 이용하여 록시스로마이신의 이종간 예측모델을 수립하였으며, 이때 약물동태학적 파라미터는 반감기, 청소율, 분포용적, 평균체류시간 등을 이용하였다. 이종간 약물동태학적 파라미터의 변화 예측은 체중과 지수적 상관관계 $(Y=aW^b)$를 이용하였으며, 이때 Y는 약물동태학적 파라미터, W는 체중, a는 allometric coefficient를 의미한다. B는 약물동태학적 파라미터와 체중간의 상관관계를 의미하는 비례상수이다. 랫트, 토끼, 닭, 개 등의 약물동태학적 파라미터인 분포용적, 청소율, 반감기, 평균체류시간 등은 체중과 유의한 선형관계를 나타내었다. 본 연구에 의해 수립된 록시스로마이신에 대한 이종간 약물동태학적 파라미터의 이종간 예측모델은 다양한 종의 동물종에 대한 좀 더 정확한 용법용량을 구하는 기초자료로 이용할 수 있을 것이다.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study was to review the factors related to serious dental diseases in dental clinic patients to provide basic data on health and oral health improvement. Methods : This study included 257 patients who visited dental clinics located in Gyeonggi-do. For the survey method, patients filled out questionnaires, and their dental examination charts were reviewed. The subjects of this study were selected using convenience sampling. Surveys were done with a self-entry questionnaire. Results : Serious dental diseases were more likely to be found in men than in women, in married subjects than in single subjects, in obese subjects than in normal-weight subjects, in subjects with xerostomia and in subjects who did not receive regular oral examinations and scaling. Conclusions : In order to promote oral health, individual efforts by dental clinic patients should be made along with the implementation of oral health improvement programs and policies.

  • In this talk, I will present a theoretical and numerical framework for self-regulation of the star formation rates (SFRs) in disk galaxies. The theory assumes (1) force balance between pressure support and the weight of the interstellar medum (ISM), (2) thermal balance between radiative cooling in the ISM and heating via FUV radiation from massive young stars, and (3) turbulent energy balance between dissipation in the ISM and driving by momentum injection of SNe. Numerical simulations show vigorous dynamics in the ISM at all times, but with proper temporal and spatial averages, all the expected balances hold. This leads to a scaling relation between mean SFRs and galactic gas and stellar properties, arising from the fundamental relationship between SFR surface density and the total midplane pressure.

  • Pavement concrete subjected to severe environmental condition may be vulnerable to frost attack practically where de-icing chemicals are used. This study focused on the investigation of durability characteristics of pavement concrete incorporation polypropylene fibers and application feasibility of these into the pavements of local roads and highway. A series of labortory tests were performed with main experimental variable such as fiber types, fiber contents. and type of concrete mix. The test of compressive strength was executed as primary tests, before the durability tests such as a scaling resistance were performed. De-icing salt resistance test was progressed by recycling freeze and thaw in the presence of a 4% calcium chloride solution. The deteriorated surfaces were rated by visual inspection and the loss weight were measured at every 5 cycles.

  • Deicing salt has been generally used for traffic safety in winter, and the amount is increasing every year. However, deicing salt may induce the decrease of bond strength, surface scaling, and environmental pollution, etc. the purpose of this paper is to suggest the fundamental data on safety and durability for concrete structures through the estimation of chloride concentration profile and chloride diffusion coefficient. According to the test results, the critical chloride concentration($0.9\~1.2kg/m^3$)was measured at depth $23\~30mm$, and the limit chloride concentration($0.3kg/m^3$)was reached to depth 40mm. Also the surface chloride amount indicates 3.45kg per concrete unit weight, and the results showed the possibility of corrosion by deicing salt penetration.

  • 기본 주파수 뿐만 아니라 스펙트럼의 형태를 여러 가지 변화시킨 복합음을 이용하여 음색의 유사도에 관한 청취실험을 하였다. 그 결과에서 다차원 척도구성법에 의해 3차원 음색 지각공간을 얻었다. 기본 주파수의 차이는 복합음의 음색을 변화시키는 요인의 하나라는 것을 알 수 있었다.또한 청각계 스펙트럼을 이용하여 음색의 대략적인 지각을 어느 정도 표현할 수 있는가에 대하여 검토하였다. 청각계 스펙트럼 행렬의 작은 특이치를 제외하여 구한 주파수 가중치행렬을 이용하여 재합성한 결과는 실험결과와 거의 일치하였다.
