In this study, geometric modeling and finite element analysis of 3-dimensional plain weave composite unit cell consisting of 3 interlaced fiber tows and resin pocket were performed to predict effective properties. First, tow properties were obtained from micro-mechanics finite element unit cell analysis, which were then used in the meso-mechanics analysis. The effective properties were obtained from a series of unit cell analyses simulating uniaxial tensile and shear tests. Analysis results were compared to the analysis and experimental results in the literature. Various crimp angles were considered and the effect on the effective properties was investigated. Initial failure strengths and failure sequence were also examined.

This study analyzed the rear foot angle of the supporting leg and the anatomical rotation angle of the kicking angle in soccer instep kick and drew conclusions as follows. When the supporting leg was landing on the ground, the valgus angle of the ankle joint reached the maximum peak, and plantar flexion was slightly different in the timing of the maximum peak between the two groups. The flexion angle of the rear foot was statistically significantly different between the two groups, and the movement of the crus on the landing of the supporting foot did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups. The crus leaned backward most before the impact, and the side to side gradient of the crus on impact was $22^{\circ}$. The flexion/extension of the hip joint of the kicking leg reached the maximum peak when the supporting foot was landing on the ground, and at the moment, the maximum extension angle of the hip joint was over $30^{\circ}$. The flexion angle of the knee joint of the kicking leg was largest after landing. While the maximum plantar flexion angle and maximum valgus angle of the ankle joint were not significantly different between the two groups, the maximum external rotation angle was significantly different.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the positional change of the uterus during radiotherapy. Materials and Methods: Between 1997 and 2001, 47 patients received definitive radiotherapy for cervical cancer at the Samsung Medical Center. For each patient, two MRI scans were taken; one before and the other 3$\~$4 weeks after the radiotherapy treatment. In T2 weighted MRI images, the positional change of the uterine was quantified by measuring six quantities; the distance from the cervix os to the isthmus of the uterus (Dcx), the maximum length from the isthmus of the uterus to the uterine fundus (Dco), the maximum vertical distance of the uterine body (Dco-per), the angle between the vertical line and the cervical canal in the sagittal images (Acx), the angle of the uterine corpus from the vertical line in the sagittal plan (Aco-ap), and the relative angle of the uterine corpus from a fixed anatomical landmark in the axial images (Aco-axi). Results: The mean Dcx values, before and during the treatment, were 36.7 and 27.8 mm, respectively. The Dco deviated by more than 10 mm in 14 cases (29.8$\%$). The change in the Acx ranged from 0.1 to 67.8$^{\circ}$ (mean 13.2$^{\circ}$). The Aco-ap changed by a maximum of 84.8$^{\circ}$ (mean 16.9$^{\circ}$). The differences in the Dcx plus the Dco in the smaller (<4 cm) and larger ($geq$4 cm) tumors were 5.3 and 19.4 mm, respectively. With patients less than 60 years old, or with a tumor size larger than 4 cm, the difference in the Acx was statistically significant. Conclusion: The positional changes of the uterus, during radiation treatment, should be considered in the 3DCRT or IMRT treatment planning, particularly in patients under 60 years of age or in those with a tumor size greater than 4 cm in maximum diameter.

This study is to examine effects of motorized flexion-distraction treatment on the pain, lumbosacral angle, lumbar lordosis angle, and lumbar 5 (L5) intervertebral disc angle in patients with chronic low back pain. We selected 30 cases of chronic low back pain, which were evenly divided into two groups: experimental group and control group. We applied the same hot pack, interferential current therapy, and ultrasound therapy to both groups. The experimental group had additional treatment of motrized flexion-distraction therapy and control group had additional of stretching exercise. For each subject, the pain, lumbosacral angle, lumbar lordosis angle, and lumbar 5 (L5) intervertebral disc angle were measured before and after treatment, While experimental groups showed significant improvements after treatment, more significant effects were found in the experimental group.

SMC(Sheet molding compound)욕조 생산시 발생하는 폐 FRP를 보강재로서 재활용하기 위하여 불포화 폴리에스테르 매트릭스 수지에 보강하고 보강재와 매트릭스 수지의 계면 결합력을 증진시키기 위하여 보강재를 실란계 커플링제[3-methylacryloxyviny1 silane (MAOS)]로 전 처리하여 복합재를 제조하고 기계적 물성 및 계면현사에 대하여 관찰하였다. 보강률이 20wt%인 복합재의 굴곡강도 및 굴곡탄성률이 각 각 110MPa, 8.0GPa로 가장 우수하였으며 커플링제(MAOS)의 노동가 0.50wt%인 복합재의 굴곡강도 및 굴곡탄성률은 약 10%정도 향상되어 각 각 120MPa, 9.2GPa을 나타내었다. 또한 주사전자현미경 관찰 결과 보강재를 커플링제(MAOS)로 처리한 복합재의 보강재와 매트릭스 수지는 물리, 화학적을 잘 결합하여 보강재와 매트릭스 수지의 계면에서 pull out현상이 확인되지 않았으며 크랙도 발생하지 않았다.

본 논문에서는 연속된 프레임에서 특징점을 추출하고 특징점의 유사도를 Hough 공간에 누적하여 정확한 이동을 찾아내는 기법을 제시한다. 특징점은 예지의 시작점, 끝점, 분기점과 굴곡점을 사용한다. 정합을 위하여 특징점 주위의 평균 밝기, 굴곡점의 굴곡각을 이용하며, 물체 주위에 물체보다 특징이 강한 배경에 민감하지 않게 동작하기 위하여 Hough 공간상의 극대값들에 대하여, 분할 영역의 평균과 표준 편차를 비교함으로써 정확한 이동 경로를 산출한다. 제안하는 알고리즘을 실제 영상에 적응한 경우 배경의 특징이 매우 강한 경우 Hough 공간의 최대값을 찾는 기법이 해결할 수 없는 부분도 정확히 추적하는 결과를 보인다.

Y. W. KIM, Y. J. KIM, Mechanical Properties of Unilateral & Bilateral Movements in Isokinetic Knee Extension and Flexion. Korean Journal of Sport Biomechanics, Vol. 18, No. 3, pp. 83-92, 2008. The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanical properties and patterns of bilateral and unilateral movement under varying velocities and movement patterns. The unilateral and bilateral isokinetic knee extension and flexion were taken for three speeds of 13 healthy male subjects. Although there was bilateral facilitation at the speed of $450^{\circ}$/s for the bilateral movement of knee extension, as a whole there was less resultant torque and power of bilateral movement than summed unilateral under knee flexion and extension of 3 velocity condition. There was significant correlations between bilateral deficits within individuals observed for an the same movement($120^{\circ}-240^{\circ}$ flexion, $120-240^{\circ}$ extension, $240^{\circ}-450^{\circ}$ extension), which means that same agonist was recruited. On the contrary, although there was a tendency of a similar pattern of the individuals bilateral deficit according to the varying velocities, there was not a significant correlations between bilateral deficits of flexion and extension within individual, which means that different agonist was recruited. With the analyses of this results the individuals neuromuscular characteristics and the effecting factors for bilateral movement can be speculated upon.

This paper proposes a robust lane detection algorithm for non-flat roads by combining a piecewise linear model and dynamic programming. Compared with other lane models, the piecewise linear model can represent 3D shapes of roads from the scenes acquired by monocular camera since it can form a curved surface through a set of planar road. To represent the real road, the planar roads are created by various angles and positions at each section. And dynamic programming determines an optimal combination of planar roads based on lane properties. Experiment results demonstrate the robustness of proposed algorithm against non-flat road, curved road, and camera vibration.

Eight of the individuals had a unilateral S-RAD TKA and Multi-Radius TKA ($Scorpio^{TM}$ PS, Howmedica-Osteonics, Inc.). The instrument were used Peak Motion Measurement $System^{TM}$, $MYOPAC^{TM}$EMG System, KIN-COM $III^{TM}$ System. The Figure 3 shows that the average time for the S-RAD group to accomplish the sit-to-stand movement was 1.59 s, which was 0.19 s less than the M-RAD group (p= 0.033). In Figure 5, the S-RAD TKA group tended to have $7^{\Omega}{\cdot}S^{-1}$ less trunk flexion velocity than that of the M-RAD group (p= 0.058). The Figure 6 shows that the S-RAD TKA limb tended to have less ADD displacement (p = 0.071) than that of the M-RAD TKA limb. We failed to find significant differences for ABD and ADD displacements between the S-RAD and M-RAD N-TKA limbs (p= 0.128 and 0.457, respectively). The VM of the S-RAD TKA limb demonstrated significant less RMS EMG than that of the M-RAD TKA limb from $60^{\Omega}$ to $15^{\Omega}$ of knee flexion (p 0.05). The VL of the S-RAD TKA limb also demonstrated significant less RMS EMG than that of the M-RAD TKA limb from $60^{\Omega}$ to $45^{\Omega}$ of knee flexion (p 0.05). Similar to the VM and VL, the RF of the S-RAD TKA limb showed less RMS EMG than that of the M-RAD TKA limb from $60^{\Omega}$ to $30^{\Omega}$ of knee flexion (p 0.05).
