Purpose: An experimental study was conducted on the sand samples for the size effect of the test specimens, one of the problems of the direct shear test. Method: Jumunjin standard sand, a representative sand of Korea, was used as sand sample. The large direct shear test was performed to analyze the shear strength at 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80% relative density, and then the comparative results were compared with the test results of the small direct shear test. Result: It was analyzed that the internal friction angle of the small shear tester tended to be relatively large in the dense region. It was analyzed that the results of the large shear tester tend to be relatively large in the region of medium relative density. Conclusion: The size effect on the samples in the direct shear test on sandy soil was analyzed to be relatively small.

본 연구는 상업 젠트리피케이션의 과정을 일반과 프랜차이즈 커피전문점의 시·공간 밀도 변화를 이용하여 탐색하고자 한다. 커피전문점은 높은 입지 가변성으로 상권의 형성과 발달을 파악하기에 효과적 업종이기 때문에 상업 젠트리피케이션의 진행 단계를 직관적으로 설명하는 효과적인 지표의 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 먼저, 상업 젠트리피케이션을 경험한 사례 지역을 분석하여 커피전문점 밀도를 이용한 상업 젠트리피케이션 진행 단계 탐색의 가능성을 보여주었다. 다음으로 커피전문점의 상대 밀도와 밀도 비율을 추정하고 그 변화량을 기반으로 군집분석 방법을 적용하여 서울 전 지역을 대상으로 상업 젠트리피케이션 진행 단계를 구분하였다. 그 결과 상업 젠트리피케이션이 진행되었거나 진행 중인 지역과 기간을 효과적으로 추정 할 수 있었다. 더불어 커피전문점의 밀도를 이용한 상업 젠트리피케이션의 탐색은 인구·사회·경제적 변수들보다 더욱 상세한 시·공간 변화 탐색에 효과적이다

This study explores the stages of commercial gentrification using spatial and temporal density changes in non-franchise and franchise coffee shops. The density of coffee shops provides an effective indicator to intuitively explain commercial gentrification processes because it quickly responds to a process of commercial area development. First, this study shows the effectiveness of coffee shop density as the indicator of commercial gentrification using a case study for regions that have experienced commercial gentrification. Second, a cluster analysis is conducted for Seoul based on the relative densities of coffee shops and its change, as well as density ratios. The result effectively explains the spatial and temporal boundaries of areas in commercial gentrification processes. Furthermore, exploring a gentrification process using coffee shop densities offers a more effective tool than that using socio-economic variables by capturing the changes of gentrification stages in neighborhoods with detail temporal units.

Recently, due to the occurrence of safety accidents in areas with high pedestrian density, local governments have been focusing on introducing systems that can prevent such accidents in advance. Specifically, they have plans to prevent these accidents by predicting pedestrian density in real-time beforehand. There are various methods to measure human density, but using CCTV to measure density has been gaining attention. This is because the infrastructure for CCTV is already well established, eliminating the need to build additional hardware infrastructure. In other words, only software enhancements are needed on the backend. Many algorithms for measuring pedestrian density have been developed, and recently, deep learning-based methods have been particularly prominent. However, most deep learning-based density measurement methods either count the number of pedestrians in the entire input video frame or predict their locations. In practice, though, even if the footage is obtained from the same CCTV camera, it is necessary to measure the density for specific areas within the video separately. This is because the distance from the camera differs for each region within the video, leading to potential discrepancies between the visible density in the video and the actual density. Therefore, this paper proposes a density measurement system that compensates for these variations in distance from the camera across different areas.

Studies of the distribution and annual abundance of cockroaches were conducted at 68 restaurants in 3 regions of downtown Pusan using sticky traps from August, 1995 to October, 1999. The German cockroach, Blattella germanica, was the dominant species among four domestic species in the study areas. The population densities of German cockroaches were significantly higher in 1999 (ave. 27.8 individual/trap and 14.0/trap in median in October) than those in 1995 and 1996 in the kitchens of the restaurants. The population density of German cockroaches in 1999 was not significantly different with that of 1997. The infestation rates of German cockroaches were 78.6% in 1995; 96.4% in 1996; 96.3% in 1997; and 91.5% in 1999 at the restaurants. The infestation rates of American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) and Smoky-brown cockroaches (P. fuliginosa) in restaurants were 20.6% and 13.2% in August, 1999, respectively, which were slightly increased in comparison with those of the past three years. The German cockroaches seemed to easily infest and/or breed in urban restaurants.

강원도 고냉지 배추재배 지역에서 53개의 이병 뿌리와 22개 토양 표본을 채취하여 배추 생육 초기에 뿌리 썩음을 일으키는 병원균을 조사하였다. 이병된 뿌리에서 검출된 13개 곰팡이 중에서 Pythium ultimum, Pythium echinocarpum, Rhizoctonia solani의 3종이 자주 검출 되었으며 배추에 병원성이 있었다. 채취한 토양에 본엽 $3{\sim}4$ 엽기의 배추를 이식하여 발명 유무를 온실에서 조사 하였을 때 토양 표본에 따라 5내지 100%의 식물이 이들 균에 의하여 감염 되었다. 토양내 이들 3종의 균의 밀도를 배추 식물의 감염 빈도에 의하여 조사 하였을 때 차항 2리 지역의 토양에서는 P. ultimum이 우점종 이었고 P. echinocarpum은 용산 2리, 횡계리, 문맥 지역에서 주로 밀도가 높았다. 매봉산 지역의 토양에서는 R. solani 균만이 단지 분포하고 있었으며 P. ultimum 과 P. echinocarpum이 동시 분포하는 지역에서는 대체로 P. echinocarpum 균의 밀도가 P. ultimum에 비하여 더 높았다. 주요 30품종의 유묘를 가지고 온실에서 품종 저항성을 조사한 결과 6개 품종이 P. ultimum 에 대하여 저항성이었고 3개 품종이 중도 저항성 이었다. P. echinocarpum에 대해서는 저항성 품종이 없고 2개 품종이 중도 저항성 이었으며 R. solani균에 대해서는 모두가 이병성 이었다.

Fifty three diseased root samples of Chinese cabbage and 22 soil samples were taken from six alpine areas in Kangwon province to examine the organisms causing root rot of Chinese cabbage. Among thirteen microorganisms detected from diseased roots samples, Pythium ultimum, Pythium echinocarpum and Rhizoctonia solani were detected frequently and were pathogenic to Chinese cabbage. Five to 100% of young Chinese cabbage plants grown in the sample soils taken from alpine cabbage fields were infected either alone or together with P. ultimum, P. echinocarpum and R. solani, depending upon the or gin of sample soils. When relative density of the three organsims in the sample soils was estimated based on the infection frequency on the plants grown in those sample soils, P. ultimum was prevalent only in Chahang-i-li area. P. echinocarpum was prevalent in Yongsan-il-li, Hoengwe-li, and Munmaek areas. R. solani was solely found in Maebongsan area where both P. ultimum and P. echinocarpum were not detected. In the three areas where both P. ultimum and P. echinocarpum were present, density of P. echinocarpum was generally greater than that of P. ultimum. Seedlings of thirty major Chinese cabbage varieties were inoculated independently with the three organisms in the greenhouse. Six varieties were resistant to P. ultimum. Three and two varieties were moderately resistant to P. ultimum and P. echinocarpum, respectively. All varieties were highly susceptible to R. solani.

Relative power density distributions of the Kori Unit 1 pressurized water reactor are calculated by Monte Carlo modeling with the MCNP code. The Kori Unit 1 core is modeled on a three-dimensional representation of the one-eighth of the reactor in-vessel component with reflective boundaries at 0 and 45 degrees. The axial core model is based on half core symmetry and is divided into four axial segments. Fission reaction density in each rod is calculated by following 100 cycles with 5,000 test neutrons in each cycle after starling with a localized neutron source and ten noncontributing settle cycles. Relative assembly power distributions are calculated from fission reaction densities of rods in assembly. After 100 cycle calculations, the system converges to a k value of 1.00039 $\geq$ 0.00084. Relative assembly power distribution is nearly the same with that of the Kori Unit 1 FSAR. Applicability of the full-scope Monte Carlo simulation in the power distribution calculation is examined by the relative root moan square error of 2.159%.

Background: Comprehensive studies on the tumor burden of soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) by ana- tomical site are lacking in Asian populations. Objective: To investigate the anatomical distribution of STS via relative tumor density (RTD) in a Korean cohort. Methods: The RTDs of patients with STS at a single-institution from 2007?2022 were retrospec- tively analyzed. To describe the STS locations, the body was divided into 4 anatomical sites, and the RTD of each was calculated to the compare topographic tumor burden. Results: Fifty-nine cases in 58 individuals, 35 male (60.3%) and 23 female (39.7%), with a mean age of 56.5±20.4 were analyzed. Overall, the most frequent STS site was the lower extremity (LE, n=22, 37.3%), and the highest RTD was in the head and neck (H&N, 2.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.39?3.77). Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP), Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS), and angiosarcoma (AS) accounted for 76.3% of all the cases. DFSP, KS, and AS showed significantly higher RTD on the trunk (2.55, p=0.025), LE (3.88, p<0.001), and H&N (7.42, p<0.001), respec- tively, than elsewhere. Conclusion: Each STS displays topographic variability and produces different topographic tumor burdens by body site in an Asian population.

The purpose of this study was to improve the accuracy of effective atomic number (EAN) and relative electron density (RED) using a polynomial-based calibration method using dual-energy CT images. A phantom composed of 11 tissue-equivalent materials was acquired with dual-energy CT to obtain low- and high-energy images. Using the acquired dual-energy images, the ratio of attenuation of low- and high-energy images for EAN was calibrated based on Stoichiometric, Quadratic, Cubic, Quartic polynomials. EAN and RED were extracted using each calibration method. As a result of the experiment, the average error of EAN using Cubic polynomial-based calibration was minimum. Even in the RED image extracted using EAN, the error of the Cubic polynomial-based RED was minimum. Cubic polynomial-based calibration contributes to improving the accuracy of EAN and RED, and would like to contribute to accurate diagnosis of lesions in CT examinations or quantification of various materials in the human body.

Common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album) is one of the world's worst weeds. In order to study the competitive potential of single-cross 704 corn (Zea mays) in competition with common lambsquarters at different relative times of emergence and density levels of the weed, an experiment was conducted in 2006 at the farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Mashhad, Iran. This experiment was designed as a split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. The emergence time of the weed was considered at three levels (7 days and 14 days earlier than corn and simultaneously with corn) as the main plot, while the density of the weed was considered at six levels (0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20 plants per $m^2$) as the subplot. The results showed a decrease in the grain yield and biomass of corn, as the emergence time of corn was delayed in comparison with the weed in a way that the maximum reduction was observed at the earlier emergence of the weed, compared to corn, and also at a high density of the weed. As the weed emerged earlier than corn, the rate of yield loss resulting from the first flush of weeds was not that high. However, with every few days that the weed emerged earlier than corn, the rate of yield loss became higher as the density of the weed increased to its maximum. The maximum reduction in the yield components was observed at 14 days earlier emergence of the weed, compared to corn, and at high densities, as the corn plants were overshadowed by the weed canopy and no ear was produced.

The present study was conducted to investigate whether dietary essential oils could affect growth performance, relative organ weights, cecal microflora, immune responses and blood profiles of broiler chickens fed on diets containing different nutrient densities. A total of eight hundred-forty 1-d-old male broiler chicks were randomly allotted into twenty-eight pens (7 pens per treatment, 30 chicks per pen). There were four experimental diets containing two different nutrient densities and supplemented with or without essential oils. Experimental period lasted for 35 days. No clear interaction between nutrient density and essential oils on any of growth performance-related parameters was observed. Live body weights were affected (p<0.05) by nutrient density at 21 days and by dietary essential oils at 35 days. Essential oils significantly (p<0.05) increased daily body weight gain and feed conversion ratio during the periods of 22 to 35 and 1 to 35 days, but failed to affect feed intake during the entire experimental period. Daily weight gain at 1 to 21 days and feed intake at 1 to 21 and 1 to 35 days were significantly impaired (p<0.05) by nutrient density. There were significant treatment interactions (p<0.05) on relative weights of bursa of Fabricius and abdominal fat contents. Finally, either essential oil or nutrient density did not influence the relative percentages of breast and leg meats, the population of cecal microflora, blood parameters and antibody titers against Newcastle disease and infectious bronchitis in broiler chickens. It was concluded that dietary essential oils, independent to nutrient density, failed to stimulate feed intake, but increased growth performance in broiler chickens.

We have studied the relative stability and atomic structures of five $C_{20}X_2$ regioisomers obtained as diadducts of a $C_{20}$ cage (X = H, F, Cl, Br, and OH). All the regioisomers are geometric isomers, i.e., they differ in their spatial arrangement. Full-geometry optimizations of the regioisomers have been performed using the hybrid density-functional (B3LYP/6-31G(d, p)) method. Our results suggest that the cis-1 regioisomer (the 1,2-diadduct) is the most stable and that the second most stable is the trans-2 (1,13-diadduct) regioisomer, implying that the long-range interaction between the two adducts and the resonance effect are more pronounced than the diadduct-induced strain in the $C_{20}$ cage. The HOMO and LUMO characteristics of each regioisomer with the same symmetry of structural regioisomers except $C_{20}(OH)_2$ are topologically same. This suggests that by using an entirely different set of characteristic chemical reactions for each regioisomer, we can distinguish between the five regioisomers for each $C_{20}$ diadduct derivative.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for the sustainable maintenance and management of agricultural fill dams by examining the naturally transmitted vegetation in downstream slope. The relative frequency(RF), relative density(RD) and importance value(IV) of each major plant species of the reservoir to be studied based on the results of the field vegetation survey targeting the vegetation on the downstream slope of the agricultural field dam. By calculating, the ecological impact of constituent species was quantitatively evaluated, and top ranking of plant species(TROPS) by reservoir was selected and applicability was suggested. Silver grass is proposed as a protection plant on the downstream slope of an agricultural fill dam by reflecting the TROPS selection results of silver grasses and the social demand for using silver grasses. Silver grass is a native perennial plant that is native to Korea, so there is no risk of disturbing the ecosystem, and the lush silver grass forest serves as a habitat for wild birds or mammals, so it is a plant that has a beneficial effect on the ecological environment. Silver grass is widely used for regional festivals, tourism topics, various folk materials, construction materials, and bio-energy raw materials. It also can be used as an important material for vitalizing the area around the reservoir.

반복단순전단시험기를 이용하여 해양실트질 모래의 상대밀도 변화에 따른 비배수전단파괴 거동에 대해 평균전단응력과 반복전단응력이 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 시험결과 반복전단 변형모드는 상대밀도가 달라지더라도 유사한 양상을 보였으며, 평균전단응력과 반복전단응력으로부터 큰 영향을 받았다. 파괴에 필요한 반복하중 횟수는 반복전단응력비, 상대밀도, 그리고 평균전단응력비의 순서로 좌우되는 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문에서는 조밀한 지반과 느슨한 지반에서 상대밀도 변화에 따른 응력기반 파괴경로의 변화를 2차원과 3차원으로 제시하였으며, 3차원 파괴선도는 조밀한 지반 조건에 대해서만 한정된 한계점을 보완하여 지반의 상대밀도에 따라 반복전단응력비, 평균전단응력비, 반복하중 횟수 등의 설계 조건을 결정 할 수 있는 아주 유용한 설계도구로 활용 가능하다.

An experimental study has been conducted by using the Cyclic Direct Simple Shear apparatus to evaluate the influence of average and cyclic shear stresses on the undrained shear failure behavior of marine silty sand considering various relative densities. The obtained results show that despite using different relative densities, similar trends were gained in the cyclic shear deformation. Moreover, the cyclic shear deformation is affected mainly by the average and cyclic shear stresses. The number of cyclic loads for failure is significantly affected by the cyclic shear stress ratio and relative density, and is less affected by the average shear stress ratio. The proposed three-dimensional stress-dependent failure contour can be used effectively to assess the soil shear strength considering various relative densities in the design of foundation used for offshore structures.

본 연구에서는 상대밀도와 세립분 함유율이 현장타설말뚝의 인발저항 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 다양한 상대밀도 및 세립분 함유율 조건에 대한 직접전단시험 및 모형말뚝 인발실험을 수행하였다. 직접전단시험으로부터 세립분 함유율에 따른 내부마찰각과 점착력의 변화특성을 정량적으로 파악할 수 있었으며, 인발실험 결과에서는 말뚝의 인발저항 성능에 미치는 상대밀도와 세립분 함유율의 영향을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 두 실험 결과를 비교 분석한 결과, 말뚝의 인발저항 성능에 대한 지반의 내부마찰각과 점착력의 기여도는 세립분 함유율 약 13%를 전후로 하여 서로 다르게 나타남을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 현장타설말뚝 설계 시 수행되는 마찰저항 성능 평가는 지반의 세립분 함유율에 따른 강도정수($c-{\phi}$)를 고려해야 할 것으로 평가되었다.

This paper described a results of direct shear test and pullout test by using soil supported by drilled shafts in order to evaluate the effect of relative density and fines content on pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts. The result of direct shear test showed that the variation characteristics of internal friction angle and cohesion could be confirmed quantitatively. The result of pullout test also showed that the effect of relative density and fines content on pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts was confirmed. That is, the contribution of the internal friction angle and cohesion of soils on the pullout resistance performance of drilled shafts was found to vary, when the fines content was about 13% based on results direct shear test and pullout test. Therefore, at design of drilled shafts, the effect of skin friction resistance should be considered on the influence factor of strength parameters ($c-{\phi}$) according to the fines content of soil.

해상구조물을 지지하는 말뚝기초는 바람, 조류, 파랑 등의 영향으로 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는다. 본 연구에서는 횡방향 반복하중이 말뚝의 횡방향 극한지지력에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여, 서로 다른 세 가지 상대밀도(40%, 70%, 90%)로 조성된 모래지반에서 모형말뚝시험을 수행하였다. 상대밀도 40%로 조성 된 모래지반에서는 횡방향 반복재하 시 말뚝 주변 지반이 조밀해짐에 따라 횡방향 극한지지력이 증가하였다. 반면, 상대밀도 70%와 90%로 조성 된 모래지반에서는 횡방향 반복재하 시 말뚝 주변 지반의 교란효과로 인하여 횡방향 극한지지력이 감소하였다. 이러한 횡방향 극한지지력의 증가 및 감소효과는 횡방향 반복하중의 크기가 커질수록 더욱 명확하게 나타났으며, 모래지반의 포화 여부에는 큰 영향을 받지 않았다. 모형시험 결과를 활용하여 모래지반의 상대밀도, 횡방향 반복하중의 크기에 따른 말뚝의 횡방향 극한지지력 산정 식을 제안하였고, 이를 횡방향 반복하중을 지배적으로 받는 말뚝의 설계 시 활용 가능하도록 하였다.

Pile foundations used as offshore support structures are dominantly subjected to cyclic lateral loads due to wind and waves. In this study, a series of cyclic lateral load tests were performed on a pre-installed aluminum flexible pile in sandy soil with three different relative densities (40%, 70% and 90%) in order to evaluate the effect of cyclic lateral loads on lateral load capacity of a pile. The cyclic lateral loads increased the lateral load capacity of a pile at 40% relative density, whereas they decreased it at 70% and 90% relative densities. This can be explained by the fact that the cyclic lateral loads slightly densified the surrounding soil in relatively loose sand (40%), while the surrounding soil was disturbed in relatively dense sand (70% and 90%). These effects were more obvious as the cyclic lateral load amplitude increased, being independent with the saturation. Also, from the test results, an empirical equation for the lateral load capacity of a cyclic laterally loaded pile in sandy soil was developed in terms of relative density of the soil and the cyclic lateral load amplitude.

It is well known that the powder injection molding (PIM) process can overcome the shape limitations of traditional powder compaction, the costs of machining, the productivity limits of isostatic pressing and slip casting, and the defect and tolerance limitations of conventional casting. Increasing demands from industry for not only the dimensional accuracy but mechanical strength in PIMed parts have had much effort focused on the investigation of mechanical properties of sintered parts formed with high-strength metallic powders. The 17-4 PH stainless steel powders, one of the best corrosion-resistant high-strength materials, with average diameter of 10μm were injection-molded into flat tensile specimens. Sintering of the compacts was carried out at the various temperatures ranging from 900 to 1350℃. Sintering behavior of the compacts and tensile properties of sintered specimens were investigated.

The relative density seems to be important as a factor of controlling the physical properties in the case of cohesionless soil ground as sand. Therefore, the study is more important about the method for reappearing the same relative density when the specimen of shearing test is to be produced or the model test of ground is to be made. In this study, the apparatus making use of the multiple sieving pluviation method - one of the reappearance of relative density - could be made. Using this apparatus, tests were practiced varying the factors such as the size of sieve mesh and the number of sieve, the amount of falling discharge, the falling height etc. about the standard sand in Jumunjin and Hadong sand. When laboratory test is performed by the cohensionless soil , it presents the method for reappearing of the relative density in field.

Several isotropic compression-expansion tests and a series of drained conventional traxial tests with various confining pressures for relative density of Beakma river sand 25%, 50%, 80% and 100% selecting Lade's Single Work-Hardening constitutive model. This examination materials use regression analysis as a basis, depending on the relative density of soil parameters change statement attributes. Yield fuction represent the soil parameters h and $\alpha$ is not affected by the changes in the relative density. $\eta_1$ could be replaced by fomula. And Numerical analysis results predicted very good and could confirm that.
