PURPOSES : This purpose of this study is to analyze the effect to autogenous shrinkage of the top-layer material of a two-lift concrete pavement mixing both silica fume and polymer powder. METHODS: The bottom-layer of a two-lift concrete pavement was paved with original portland cement (OPC) with a 20~23 cm thickness. Additionally, the top-layer which is directly exposed to the environment and vehicles was paved with a high-performance concrete (HPC) with a 7~10 cm thickness. These types of pavements can achieve a long service life by reducing joint damage and increasing the abrasion and scaling resistance. In order to integrate the different bottom and top layer materials, autogenous shrinkage tests were performed in this study according to the mixing ratio of silica fume and polymer powder, which are the admixture of the top-layer material. RESULTS: Autogenous shrinkage decreased when polymer powder was used in the mix. Contrary to this, autogenous shrinkage tended to rise with increasing silica fume content. However, the effects were not significant when small amounts of polymer powder were used (3% and 11%). CONCLUSIONS : The durability and compressive strength increase when silica fume is used in the mix. The flexural strength considerably increases and autogenous shrinkage of concrete decreases when polymer powder is used in the mix. As seen from above, the proper use of these materials improves not only durability, but also autogenous shrinkage, leading to better shrinkage crack control in the concrete.

Background: The continuous co-contraction of the trunk muscles through trunk stabilization exercises is important to patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). However, intentional abdominal muscle contraction (IAMC) for trunk stabilization has been used only for specific training in the treatment room. Objects: The purpose of this study was to provide feedback to adults with LSS to enable IAMC during activities of daily living (ADLs). Methods: The participants with spinal stenosis were divided into an experimental group of 15 adults and a control group of 16 adults. Electromyographic signals were measured while the subjects kept their both hands held up at 90°. The measured muscles were the rectus abdominis (RA), external oblique (EO), internal oblique (IO), and erector spinae (ES). Pelvic tilt was measured using a digital pelvic inclinometer. The degree of pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and functional capacity was measured using the Korean version of the Oswestry disability index (KODI). Results: While the experimental group showed statistically significantly higher activities in the RA, EO, and IO after the intervention compared with the control group. Pelvic tilt was significantly decreased only in the experimental group. Both the experimental and control groups exhibited statistically significant declines in the VAS and KODI (p<.01). In terms of the levels of changes, the experimental group exhibited a statistically significant larger decline only in the VAS and the pelvic tilt when compared with the control group (p<.05). Conclusions: The subjects could stabilize their trunks, and relieve their pain and dysfunctions and reduce pelvic tilt by learning abdominal muscle contraction during ADLs.

In this study, the appearance change and the heat․moisture transfer properties of knitted fabric by yarn shrinkage were examined to obtain useful data on the development of thermo-sensitive functional materials. Eleven types of knitted fabric were knitted using highly bulky acrylic-blended yarn. After shrinking the specimens using dry heat treatment, the appearance change and thickness were measured. An HEC simulator was adopted for measuring the heat․moisture transfer properties of specimens by yarn shrinkage. When holes were arranged vertically in the mesh structure, the specimens with 2,500 and 5,000 holes showed high percent change of hole area, appearance, and thickness. When holes were diagonally arranged in the mesh structure, the percent change of hole area in the specimen with 1,250 holes was larger than the one with 2,500 holes. However, the dimensional stability of the specimen with 2,500 holes was better because of its smaller appearance and thickness change. In the tuck structure, the percent change of hole area in the specimen with 625 and 416 holes was relatively large compared with the appearance and thickness change. Furthermore, the hole size in the tuck structure was smaller than that in the mesh structure but the percent change of hole area was larger. Therefore, it was proved that the tuck structure is more suitable than the mesh structure for developing thermo-sensitive functional materials. Heat․moisture transfer property test verified that the change of hole area by yarn shrinkage enabled obtaining the thermal effect due to the distinct temperature difference in the inner layer.

콘크리트에 발생하는 건조수축은 콘크리트 구조체 내부에 존재하는 수분의 이동에 의해 발생하며 강도발현시점 이후부터 점진적으로 그 크기가 커진다. 콘크리트에 발생할 수 있는 건조수축의 크기는 골재나 시멘트 등의 특성에 따라 다르나 약 40-1000 의 범위에서 발생하므로 그 크기는 무시할 수 없는 수준이다. 많은 연구자들은 콘크리트의 건조수축의 약 20-25%가 재령 2주내에, 약 50-60%가 3개월 내에, 80% 이상이 재령 1년 이내에 발생하는 것으로 판단하고 있다. 다만 콘크리트 포장에서는 깊이에 따라 건조수축의 발생의 진행정도가 다르며 이로 인해 포장체 상부와 하부에서의 수축차이가 생기는 부등건조수축이 발생하므로 단순히 구조체 전체가 동등하게 수축한다고 가정할 수 없다. 본 연구는 공항 콘크리트포장을 대상으로 한 유한요소해석 모형에 실제 현장에서 약 9개월간 계측한 슬래브 깊이별 실측 온도를 적용하여 계절적 온도변화에 의한 포장체의 거동을 해석하였다. 유한요소해석 결과와 실제 현장에서 계측한 슬래브 위치별, 깊이별 변형률을 비교 분석하였으며, 온도의 영향만을 반영하여 해석을 실시한 결과와 건조수축이 발생하는 실제 슬래브의 거동사이에 차이가 발생함을 확인하였다. 상대적으로 재령 초기에 건조수축의 발생이 작은 슬래브 바닥면을 기준으로 보정계수를 추정하여 해석결과를 보정하였으며 슬래브의 재령에 따른 깊이별 건조수축의 발생 경향을 확인할 수 있었다.

배경/목적: 만성 담낭염이란 담낭의 만성적인 염증반응으로 인해 담낭벽의 비후를 보이는 질환으로 염증이 오랜 기간 지속되면 담낭벽의 수축성 변화를 유발하기도 한다. 지속적인 만성 담낭염, 특히 담낭의 수축성 변화는 전암성 병변으로 인식되고 있다. 하지만 만성 담낭염과 담낭벽의 수축성 변화에 대한 임상적인 의의를 살펴본 연구가 거의 없고 담낭암과의 관련성 또한 연구된 바가 없다. 방법: 본 연구에서는 복부초음파와 CT를 통해 만성 담낭 염으로 진단된 환자 중 수술을 시행하여 조직학적 확진을 받 은 409명의 환자를 분석하였다. 결과: 409명의 만성 담낭염 환자 중 94%에서 담석이 있었고, 25% 환자에서 수축성 담낭을 가지고 있었다. 담낭벽 수 축성 변화 유무로 나누어 분석하였을 때 수축성 담낭그룹에서 복통을 호소하였던 환자가 많았고, 미만성 형태의 담낭벽 비후 및 개복수술로 전환된 비율이 높았다. 409명의 환자 중 7명이 담낭암으로 최종 진단되었는데 모두 60세 이상의 고령이었고 담석성 복통을 호소하여 수술을 진행하였다. 담낭벽 비후 형태, 수축성 변화는 담낭암 환자에서 차이가 없었다. 결론: 담낭의 수축성 변화는 만성 담낭염의 심한 형태로 생각되나 담낭암을 예측하는데 있어서 의미는 없었다. 따라서 수축성 변화 유무와 상관없이 만성 담낭염 환자에서는 고령이고 복통이 있으면 담낭절제술이 권고되지만 이런 조건에 맞지 않다면 주의 깊은 추적관찰도 고려해 볼 수 있겠다.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) recovers the alignment of the knee joint, but fails to automatically restore the alignment and function of the hip and ankle joints. It may affect the alignment and stability of the knee joint, therefore therapeutic intervention in hip and ankle joint is necessary for the rehabilitation process after TKA. Objects: The aim of this study was to comparison of the effects of the two exercise methods on the coronal plane alignment after TKA. This study conducted an experiment by dividing subjects into a lower extremity isometric co-contraction group (LEIC) and a quadriceps isolated isometric contraction (QIIC) group. Methods: A total of 37 subjects were randomly assigned to the LEIC (n1=19) or the QIIC (n2=18). Exercise was applied to five times per week for three weeks, starting on the eighth day after surgery. Range of motion exercises were performed as a common intervention and then each group performed quadriceps isometric contraction exercises with 10 sets of 5 repetitions. Radiological imaging was performed prior to surgery, one month and six months after surgery. In addition, the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) and tibiotalar angle (TTA) were measured. Results: The HKA was close to neutral in the LEIC rather than the QIIC (p<.05). The LEIC showed varus and the QIIC exhibited valgus TTA (p<.05). In a comparison of HKA and TTA over time, there was no significant change in either group (p>.05). According to the comparison of the TTA before surgery, the LEIC showed significant changes in the varus direction (p<.05), while there was no significant change in the QIIC (p>.05). Conclusion: The LEIC method triggered changes in the TTA and brought the HKA close to the neutral. Thus, LEIC is more effective than QIIC in creating stability in the coronal plane alignment of the knee and ankle joints after TKA.

This paper examines two key elements of “contraction” and “expansion” in relation to the way in which Wonil Rhee used space in his curatorial practice. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze’s notion of "the fold (le pli)" in a close reading of one of his last texts published in 2010, it explores the implication of the elements in the theoretical context of Rhee's curatorial practice. Along with such concepts as “postcolonialism,” “Asianness,” “technology,” and “creative paradox,” the elements serve to deconstruct confrontations between west/non-west, the cultural colonizer/the cultural colonized, thereby challenging conventional boundaries. The logic of resistance and confrontation in Rhee's early curatorial practice has gradually given way to that of “hybridization, openness, intersection, assimilation, conciliation, and communication” through metaphors such as “thermocline” and “poktanju” (bomb drink; a kind of cocktail comparable to American boilermaker), which he addressed in the exhibition at ZKM in 2007. This show provided a turning point presenting the “pocket model,” that Rhee drew from Deleuze's concept of the fold. Analyzing the exhibitions Rhee curated after the ZKM show, this paper delves into the notion of flexible space, which constantly oscillates between “contraction” and “expansion,” a space that operates like the fold of Deleuze. There is a cycle of innumerable inflection in the world of the fold, creating decentralized, uncertain, and diverse spaces. The inside of the fold is the space of potentiality where differences keep arising but are not realized. This space is after all realized from potential space through the systemization and rearrangement of time. The fold is like the “organ without the body” or the “egg.” This paper suggests that Rhee’s “thermocline” or the “pocket model” unfolds the movement of creation where the fold transforms itself through a repetition of “contraction” and “expansion.”

Ultra high performance concrete which has recently been studied was developed to complement the brittle behaviour and dynamic uppermost limit of high strength concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete which mixed steel fiber is receiving attention as an alternative about this and is being developed to complement the disadvantages of high strength concrete including lower toughness coefficients and crack resistance and spalling in fires. Review about fiber reinforced ultra high strength concrete that this study tries to treat includes reduction of self shrinkage generated by high cement content per unit volume of concrete, evaluation of compression and tension strength to lower internal and external spalling resistance and fragility factors of member of framework, and flow characteristics of concrete which doesn't harden according to steel fiber amounts and used materials. As the result, the more fiber reinforcement increases, the more compression and tensile strength increase and deformation control of cement matrix and improvement of energy absorption ability showed the great effect in shrinkage reduction.

목적: 한국 성인의 혈압에 따른 안압의 변화를 분석하였다. 방법: 2000년 1월 1일부터 2006년 12월 31일까지 부산대학교병원에서 건강검진을 받은 30,893명(남자 15,735명, 여자 15,158명, 연령 20∼89세)의 검진 자료를 이용하여 통계분석을 실시하였다. 대상자들은 안과적 시야변화나 녹내장성 유두함몰이 없고, 고지혈증, 고혈압, 당뇨병 등의 병력이 없는 경우로 선별하였다. 자료는 ANOVA, 카이제곱검정을 이용하여 수축기혈압, 이완기혈압에 따른 안압의 변화를 분석하였다. 결과: 수축기혈압과 이완기혈압이 높을수록 평균안압과 고안압율이 유의하게(p

This study was conducted in order to examine whether abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM) with isometric shoulder flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction selectively contracted deep abdominal muscles. This study's subjects were 13 males 17 females. In order to evaluate the comparison of effects of ADIM and ADIM with isometric shoulder flexion, extension, adduction and abduction, measurements were made on transverse abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) using a real-time ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system. Each position was repetitively measured three times with a real-time ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and their mean values were used for analysis. The ADIM with isometric shoulder flexion, extension, adduction and abduction significantly increased the thickness of TrA relative to the ADIM only (p<.05). The ADIM with isometric shoulder abduction significantly increased the thickness of IO compared to the ADIM only (p<.05). The ADIM with isometric shoulder extension and abduction significantly decreased the thickness of EO compared to the ADIM only and the ADIM with isometric shoulder extension significantly decreased the thickness of EO relative to the ADIM with isometric shoulder adduction (p<.05). ADIM with isometric shoulder abduction is an effective method to selectively strengthen deep abdominal muscles and therefore may be employed as an intervention for trunk stabilization.

This study aimed to investigate whether isometric lower limb exercise can activate contralateral trunk muscles and whether the magnitude of muscle activation is related to lower limb movement in sitting. This study included 25 healthy young subjects (20 males and 5 females). The magnitude of trunk muscle activation was measured using surface electromyography (EMG) during hip flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction, and a significant difference was observed in the activation levels of trunk muscles among the tests (p<.01). The EMG activity of the multifidus (MF) and erector spinae (ES) muscles on the contralateral side were significantly greater during hip extension. However, the activation levels of the contralateral internal oblique (IO) and rectus abdominis (RA) muscles were greatest during hip flexion. The MF : ES EMG ratio was significantly greater during hip isometric during hip isometric flexion and abduction compared to hip extension and adduction. There was no significantly difference in the IO : RA ratio during the isometric contractions toward different directions. These findings indicate that isometric lower limb exercise can elicit trunk muscle contraction on the contralateral side and may therefore be helped for developing contralateral trunk muscle strength in individuals undergoing rehabilitation.

PURPOSES : Hot-mix asphalt(HMA) concretes show a trend of strength increase at low temperature due to binder stiffness increase, but strength decrease below a ceratin low temperature. This is due to the differential thermal contraction(DTC) which is induced by a significant difference in coefficients of thermal contraction between aggregate and asphalt which is coated around the aggregate. This DTC damage is well known to occur in HMA concrete, but is not yet investigated in warm-mix asphalt(WMA) concretes. METHODS : To evaluate DTC damage on WMA in this study, the flexural strength(Sf) of WMA concretes, which were produced at 30~40℃ lower temperature, was evaluated in comparison with that of HMA at -5, -15 and -25℃. RESULTS : Most of WMA and HMA mixtures showed flexural strength increase down to -15℃ and decrease below -15℃. this type of strength reduction below -15℃ can e explained as the effect of differential thermal contraction that is a consequence of the large difference in coefficients of thermal contraction between aggregate and asphalt. the property reduction of WMA is similar the result of previous works dealt with HMA mixtures. CONCLUSIONS : Even though there is some differences by materials used, the WMA concretes showed a significantly lower DTC damage than HMA concrete at low temperature at α=0.05 level.

본 연구에서는 다양한 포장용 콘크리트 배합의 건조수축 특성에 관한 실험결과를 분석하였다. 실험변수는 굵은골재의 종류(석회암, 사암, 화강암, 안산암, 편마암)와 잔골재의 종류(자연사, 부순모래) 및 콘크리트의 배합강도(보통강도, 고강도)를 달리하였다. 그리고 형상비가 22.2, 40, 85.7, 150, 200, 300을 갖도록 시편의 크기를 달리하였으며 코팅제(U&V-H(A,B))를 활용하였다. 다이얼게이지를 이용하여 항온(20℃) 항습(60%)에서 수행된 건조수축 실험은 길게는 1,014일 동안 측정하였다. KS에서 제시하는 표준시편에 비해 도로포장 모사용 슬래브 시편의 건조수축 변형률은 약 39% 감소되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 동일한 형상비에 대해 굵은골재의 변화에 따른 건조수축 실험결과 석회암이 배합된 시편의 변형률이 사암대비 형상비별로 56~76% 범위에서 가장 낮게 측정되어 포장용 콘크리트로 사용되는데 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

It is not easy to predict the shrinkage rate of a plastic injection mold in its design process. The shrinkage rate should be considered as one of the important performances to produce the reliable products. The shrinkage rate can be determined by using the CAE tools in the design produces. However, since the analysis can take minutes to hours, the high computational costs of performing the analysis limit their use in design optimization. Therefore this study was carried out to presume for mutual relation of analysis condition to get the optimum average shrinkage by regression analysis. The results shown that coefficient of determination of regression equation has a fine reliability over 87% and regression equation of average shrinkage is made by regression analysis

To develop effective training methods for strengthening a weakened quadriceps femoris muscle in hemiplegic patients, we examined the effects of maximal isometric contraction of the nonparalyzed knee joint on the electromyographic activities of the paralytic muscle. An electromyogram (EMG) was used to record the electromyographic activities of the paralytic quadriceps femoris muscle in 27 hemiplegic patients. The maximal isometric contraction was measured for each subject to normalize the electromyographic activities. The maximal isometric extension and flexion exercises were randomly conducted when the knee joint angles of the nonparalyzed knees were 0˚, 45˚, and 90˚. The patients were encouraged to maintain maximal isometric contractions in both knee joints during each measurement, and three measurements were taken. A one-minute rest interval was given between each measurement to minimize the effects of muscle fatigue. An average from the three values was taken as being the root mean square of the EMG and was recorded as being the maximal isometric contraction. The electromyographic activity obtained for each measurement was expressed as a percentage of the reference voluntary contraction, which was determined using the values obtained during the maximal isometric contraction. The results of this study are summarized as follows: First, when the knee joint angle of the nonparalyzed knee was 0˚, the electromyographic activities of the paralytic medial aspect of rectus femoris were related to measurement by a maximal isometric flexion exercise than by an extension exercise (p<.05). Second, when the knee joint angle of the nonparalyzed knee was 90˚, the electromyographic activities of the paralytic lateral aspect of rectus femoris were related to measurement by a maximal isometric flexion exercise than by an extension exercise (p<.05). The results show that myoelectrical activities of paralytic quardriceps were not related to measurement angles and exercise directions of the nonparalized knee joint. Studies on various indirect intervention to improve muscular strength of patients with nervous system disorders of the weakened muscle should be constantly conducted.

콘크리트 슬래브는 타설 후 온도와 수분 변화를 통해 체적이 변화한다. 수분증발에 의하여 발생한 건조수축은 슬래브의 자중이나 하부층과의 마찰 등에 의하여 구속되어 슬래브 내부에 응력이 유발된다. 선행 연구에 의하면 건조수축에 의하여 발생된 실제 인장응력은 이론적으로 예측된 값보다 작은 것으로 보고되었다. 이는 부분적으로 구속된 슬래브에서 발생하는 초기 재령 콘크리트의 점탄성에 기인한 응력감소 현상이다. 본 연구에서는 재령에 따른 콘크리트의 응력감소 현상을 조사하기 위하여 구속된 원주형, 구속되지 않은 자유건조 원주형, 그리고 자유건조 각주형 콘크리트 시편의 변형률을 측정하였다. 재령 1, 3, 7, 14, 28일에 콘크리트의 탄성계수를 측정하였으며 관입저항 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과를 기존 연구자들이 제안한 이론식에 대입하여 구속된 원주형 콘크리트 시편의 응력감소를 계산할 수 있었다. 향후 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로 구속된 콘크리트 시편의 응력감소 현상을 콘크리트 포장의 설계에 적용할 예정이다.

온도 및 수분의 영향에 의하여 발생한 콘크리트 포장 슬래브의 컬링(curling)과 와핑(wraping)의 비틀림 거동은 자중이나 마찰력 등에 의하여 구속되며 이로 인하여 응력이 발생된다. 슬래브 내부의 온도 변화에 의해 발생한 응력은 상용 구조해석 프로그램으로 쉽게 계산할 수 있지만 습도 차이에 의하여 발생되는 응력은 기존 프로그램으로는 계산하기 어렵다. 따라서, 슬래브의 거동에 미친 습도의 영향이 등가의 온도로 환산되어 구조해석에 입력값으로 사용된다면 보다 정확하게 환경하중에 의한 슬래브의 거동을 예측할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 슬래브를 현장에 시공하여 환경하중에 의해 발생된 변형률을 장기적으로 측정하였으며 실내에서 측정된 콘크리트 시편의 열팽창 계수를 사용하여 열변형률을 추출하였다. 나머지 변형률인 건조수축변형률을 추가적인 열변형률이라고 가정하고 이를 열팽창 계수로 나누어 줌으로써 건조수축과 등가의 영향을 갖는 가상의 온도가 계산되었다. 자중이나 마찰력 등이 고려되도록 기존 건조수축 모형을 수정하였으며, 이를 이용하여 슬래브 상부와 하부 상이에 발생한 건조수축의 차이를 등가의 온도차이로 환산할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 보다 정확한 응력계산을 위하여 압축변형률의 지속적 증가에 따른 인장응력 감소에 관한 추가적인 연구가 이어질 것이다.
