KIT Student's Rocket has been developed by a student group of Kyushu Institute of Technology lor rocket launch campaign held at La Courtine in France since 2006. This paper introduces the newest design of rocket. The rocket has the body length of 2120㎜, and weighs 14.6㎏ and can reach to an altitude of about 700㎜ by a solid rocket motor provided by CNES (the French Centre National D’Etudes Spatiales). The rocket is controlling rolling attitude during ascent phase and then deploying a parafoil at the apogee of the trajectory for recovery guidance to an aiming point.

Takeda. Mitsuhiro,Otsuka. Koji,Lee. Sang-Hun 한국방재학회 2008 한국방재학회 학술발표대회논문집 Vol.2008 No.1

본 연구의 목적은, X선조영촬영을 이용한 콘크리트강도의 평가 및 콘크리트열화의 수치화를 수행하는 것이다. 콘크리트강도를 추정하기 위하여, 물-시멘트비가 서로 다른 콘크리트를 제작하여, X선투과선량과 콘크리트강도의 관계를 구하였다. 이 실험에는 콘크리트 외에 몰탈, Non-AE 콘크리트를 이용한 실험도 수행하였다. 또한, 동결융해작용을 가해 상대동탄성계수를 변화시킨 공시체에 대하여, 열화의 수치화를 수행하였다. 실험의 결과, X선조영촬영법을 사용하면, 투과선변화량이 구해지므로, 콘크리트강도의 추정과 열화의 수치화가 가능하다는 것을 알았다. The purposes of this study are to estimate thestrength of concrete and quantify the deterioration of concrete by a unique X-ray technique with a contrast medium. In order to estimate the strength of concrete, specimens with different water-cement ratios were fabricated using non-air-entrained concrete, air-entrained concrete and mortar to determine the relationship between their compressive strength and the transit dose obtained by the X-ray technique. Also, an experiment to quantify deterioration was carried out on specimens that were subjected to freezing and thawing action to different levels of dynamic elastic modulus. As a result of this experiment, estimation of the strength and relative dynamic elastic modulus of deteriorated mortar, concrete and air-entrained concrete was found feasible by measuring the transit dose by the X-ray technique.

Inclusive Impact Index "Triple I" for Assessing Ocean Utilization Technologies

오쯔카 코지,Otsuka, Koji The Korean Society for Marine Environment and Ener 2012 한국해양환경·에너지학회지 Vol.16 No.2

세계인구는 산업혁명 이후 급격히 증가하여 2012년 현재 약 70억 명이며, 2025년에는 80억 명까지 증가할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 개발도상국에서는 삶의 질이 개선됨에 따라 자원과 에너지의 수요가 전세계적으로 증가하고 있다. 결과적으로, 인류는 지구온난화, 물 부족, 식량부족, 자원 및 에너지 위기 등의 전지구적인 시급한 문제에 직면하고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위한 이산화탄소 해양격리, 해수담수화, 인공용승, 심해자원(개발), 해양에너지 등의 해양활용기술이 발전되고 있다. 이러한 기술들은 지속가능한 사회시스템보다는 화석연료에 기반한 편리함으로 인하여 발전되었기 때문에 지속가능성 및 공공의 수용 관점에서 이러한 기술들을 평가하는 것이 중요하다. 일본 조선해양공학회의 포괄적 해양압력 평가 및 분류기술 연구위원회는 지속가능성과 공공의 수용 입장에서 해양활용기술을 평가하기 위하여 환경 지속성과 경제적 타당성을 예측하는데 이용되는 지시자로써 트리플 I을 제안한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 생태발자국과 환경영향평가가 결합된 트리플 I 지수, 트리플 I 지수의 개념과 구조, 트리플 I에서 경제-생태 전환 계수에 대하여 다루고 있다. World population has increased rapidly following the industrial revolution, reaching 7 billion in 2012. Several forecasts estimate that this number will rise to about 8 billion in 2025. Improvements of living standards in developing nations have also raised resource and energy demands worldwide. In consequences, human beings have faced many global and urgent problems, such as global warming, water and food shortages, resource and energy crises, and so on. Many ocean utilization technologies for avoiding or reducing such big problems have been developed, for examples $CO_2$ ocean sequestration, seawater desalination, artificial upwelling, deepwater mining, and ocean energies. It is important, however, to assess such technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy, since the aims of those technologies are to develop sustainable social systems rather than conventional ones based on fossil resources. Inclusive Marine Pressure Assessment and Classification Technology Research Committee (generally called IMPACT Research Committee) of Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers, has proposed Inclusive Impact Index "Triple I" as an indicator, which can predict both environmental sustainability and economical feasibility, in order to assess the ocean utilization technologies from the viewpoints of sustainability and public acceptancy. This index was considered by combining Ecological Footprint and Environmental Risk Assessment. The Ecological Footprint and the Environmental Risk Assessment are introduced in the first part of this paper. Then the concept and the structure of the Triple I are explained in the second part of this paper. Finally, the economy-ecology conversion factor in Triple I accounting is considered.

Shohei Kataoka,Masato Otsuka,Masayuki Goto,Mitsuru Kahata,Asako Kumagai,Koji Inoue,Hiroshi Koganei,Kenji Enta,Yasuhiro Ishii 한국심초음파학회 2016 Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging (J Cardiovasc Im Vol.24 No.1

Cardiac tumors are rare, and multiple myxomas are even rarer. The latter phenomenon is mostly associated with the Carney complex, a dominantly inherited disease characterized by multiple primary cardiac myxomas, endocrinopathy, and spotty pigmentation of the skin. We report the rare case of a patient who did not have the Carney complex but had multiple primary cardiac tumors. A 78-year-old woman with a past history of breast cancer was referred to our hospital for further examination of multiple cardiac tumors. Echocardiography showed 4 tumors in the left atrium and left ventricle. We could not diagnose them preoperatively and decided to resect them surgically because they were mobile and could have caused embolism and obstruction. The postoperative pathological findings of all 4 tumors were myxomas, although the patient did not meet the diagnostic criteria of the Carney complex. Therefore, a rare case of multiple primary cardiac myxomas was diagnosed.

Purpose: This study was performed to determine the prognostic value of lymphocyte-to-CRP ratio after curative resection for hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods: Between July 2010 and October 2021, 173 consecutive patients (144 male, 29 female) who underwent surgical resection for pathologically confirmed hepatocellular carcinoma were included in this retrospective study. Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between clinicopathological characteristics and recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). A P-value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The patients (mean age, 71 years) were stratified into high (≥9,500, n = 108) and low (<9,500, n = 65) lymphocyte- to-CRP ratio groups. The low lymphocyte-to-CRP ratio group had significantly worse RFS and OS. Low lymphocyte-to- CRP ratio (hazard ratio [HR], 1.865; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.176–2.960; P = 0.008), multiple tumors (HR, 3.333; 95% CI, 2.042–5.343; P < 0.001), and microvascular invasion (HR, 1.934; 95% CI, 1.178–3.184; P = 0.009) were independently associated with RFS, whereas low albumin-to-globulin ratio (HR, 2.270; 95% CI, 1.074–4.868; P = 0.032), α-FP of ≥25 ng/mL (HR, 2.187; 95% CI, 1.115–4.259; P = 0.023), and poor tumor differentiation (HR, 2.781; 95% CI, 1.041–6.692; P = 0.042) were independently associated with OS. Lymphocyte-to-CRP ratio had a higher area under the curve (0.635) than other inflammation-based markers (0.51–0.63). Conclusion: Lymphocyte-to-CRP ratio is superior to other inflammation-based markers as a predictor of RFS in patients with surgically resected hepatocellular carcinoma.

최근들어 육상의 인간 활동에 의한 다량의 오염물질 부하에 기인하여 연안에서 심각한 환경 문제가 발생하고 있다. 따라서 해양 생물체 이용 시스템이 육지와 해양간의 물질 순환을 시도하기 위하여 제안되었다. 포괄적인 평가는 제안된 시스템이 적절하고 지속가능한지를 밝힐 필요가 있다. 본 연구는 에너지의 질을 표현하고, 물질 순환 시스템에서 흐르는 물질과 에너지를 묘사하는 열역학적 개념의 엑서지를 도입하였다. 본 연구는 일본 오사카 중부에 위치한 사카이시의 물질 순환 시스템 내에서 물질, 에너지, 그리고 엑서지 흐름들을 제공한다. 엑서지는 엑서지 효율적인 물질 순환 시스템 내에서 무엇이 주요 역할인지 잘 이해하는데 도움을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌다. In recent years, serious environmental problems occur in coastal area due to high pollution loads from human activity in land. Marine biomass utilization system therefore has been proposed to prompt material circulation between land and sea. Comprehensive assessment is necessary to determine that the proposed system is suitable and sustainable. This study introduces thermodynamic concept exergy, which expresses energy quality, to describe material and energy flowing in the material circulation system. This study presents material, energy and exergy flows in the material circulation system at Sakai city located in the middle of Osaka in Japan. It is found that exergy helps a better understanding of what is a key role is in exergy-efficient material circulation system.
