This is a basic research for producing hot-mix recycled asphalt mixtures and suggesting methods for solving quality problems, if any. Various mixing methods are introduced to mate aging evenly between old and virgin aggregates and to improve aging conditions. Gel-permeation chromatography(GPC) analysis was performed to evaluate aging of binders coated on coarse aggregates and a matrix separately. Round-shaped aggregates(13m gravel) were used in manufacturing mixtures for analysis of aging levels in recycled mixtures. It was found out that there was significant difference in aging levels between the binder coated on RAP's coarse aggregates and on virgin aggregates in a recycled mixture. The difference in the aging level was reduced by modifying mixing method(RAP and virgin binders were mixed first and then virgin aggregates were introduced). Among A to E mixing methods studied, the D was turned out to be the best.

The study attempted to examine the structural model of the effects of health status and retirement aging anxiety on middle-aged workers. The subjects were collected from 263 40-59 year old middle-aged workers who work at three institutions in C and G cities. Results First, the variables affecting aging anxiety were aging preparation and health status, and these variables accounted for 52% of aging anxiety. Second, health status had a significant effect on retirement preparedness, and there was a significant indirect effect on aging anxiety through retirement preparedness. There was a partial control effect due to the difference in the path coefficient between health status and aging anxiety in the multi-group moderating effect of 40~49 and 50~59 years. Therefore, in order to reduce aging anxiety, it is important to find ways to prepare for various retirement, and a systematic management system is necessary.

모든 생명체는 나이를 먹으면서 노화해간다. 이러한 노화를 방지해 보려는 인간의 꿈은 노화의 본질이 무엇인지와 노화는 왜 일어나는지에 대한 의문 등을 끊임없이 제기하고 있다. 이런 노력들은 단순히 수명을 연장하기 위해서라기 보다는 살아있는 동안만이라도 젊음을 유지하고자 하는 욕망에서 비롯한 것일 것이다. 노화의 과장은 우리몸의 눈, 뇌, 심장등 구성기관 모두에서 나이를 먹으면서 일어나고 있다. 피부도 마찬가지여서 나이에 따라 어쩔 수 없이 노화해 간다. 즉 각질형성세포, 멜라닌세포, 땀샘들의 기능이 점차 떨어져 간다. 어린이들의 터질듯한 팽창력과 유연성을 가진 피부가 어느덧 청소년기의 매끄럽고 윤기가 흐르던 시절을 지나 성년기에 이르면 거칠고 메마른 상태가 되며, 그 후 주름이 지고 탄력성이 소실되는 노화 피부상태에 도달하게 된다. 피부, 눈, 신경 등 생체 노화과정의 생리적 규명이 현재 의학의 한 첨단분야로 등장하고 있으며, 피부노화에 대해서도 많은 연구가 진행중이다.

원자력 발전소에서 사용되어지는 케이블은 전원 및 제어신호를 안정하게 전달하는 역할을 하며, 비상상태 발생시에는 원자로를 안전하게 shut-down시키는 통로 역할을 하므로 매우 중요하다. 케이블 상태 감시시 절연 및 피복재료는 종류 및 배합내용이 다양하기 때문에 종래의 자료로부터 전선과 케이블의 열화 또는 수명을 추정하기가 극히 어려우며 방사선에 노출이 되는 케이블의 경우 노화현상의 진행이 빠르고 방사선 열화로 수명이 단축되므로 국내 실정을 감안한 독자적인 검증방법 도출, 규제기술 기반 구축 필요 및 규제의 합리화와 효율화 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존에 사용해온 케이블 진단 방법에는 절연 파괴 강도 측정을 통한 노화진단, 산화 방지능력 측정을 통한 노화진단, 자켓 및 절연체의 판단, 연신율에 의한 노화진단, 케이블 Indenter에 의한 노화진단, 온도 및 방사선 등의 특정상태에 대한 평가, 유사한 환경조건에 대한 주기적 검토 등이 있다. 기존의 국내외 케이블 상태 감시방법을 조사 연구하므로서 케이블 열화에 대비한 수명관리 규제 기술 및 상태감시 (Condition Monitoring : CM) 기술의 평가 기준을 결정 하고자 한다.

This study aimed to identify the effect of the active aging on life satisfaction and present an improvement strategies to increase life satisfaction in elderly people. Active aging is divide into three aspects; health, participation and security. The subjects were people older than 55 years who were enrolled in Korean Retirement and Income Study. The influencing effect was analyzed by a hierarchial regression. Key factors associated with active aging influencing life satisfaction were subjective health, mental health, participation in the labor market, income, and housing while subjective health was a determinant factor that best describes the effect of the active aging on life satisfaction. On the basis of above result, this study suggests that there needs to be an effort in improvement of physical and mental health, participation in the labor market, and housing at national and regional levels.

This study examined the longitudinal changes of self-perceptions of own aging among middle-aged and elderly adults, using the latent growth modeling with the three waves of the "Aging and the Quality of Life of the Elderly in Korea", which sampled adults aged over 45 living in Seoul and Chuncheon. The dependent variable is attitudes toward own aging, the sub-scale of the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale developed by Lawton (1975). The results showed that the research participants' attitudes of their own aging deteriorated over time. In addition, the lower initial status of the research participants' attitudes of their own aging was associated with being older, being non-married, living in rural areas, attaining the lower level of education, having the fewer social activities, reporting the worse subjective economic status, and reporting the worse subjective health status. The slope of the research participants' attitudes of their own aging differed by the residence areas, educational attainments, subjective economic status and subjective health status. In particular, the difference of the initial status by educational attainments grew over time. Social welfare policy and practice implications are discussed for middle-aged and elderly adults to improve attitudes toward their own aging.

The purposes of the study were (1) to identify the level of successful aging of older people living in a city, (2) to identify associated factors with successful aging, and (3) to identify a risk group for successful aging using classification and regression trees (CART) analysis. One hundred eighty seven older people (>65years) participated in the cross-sectional survey. Trained interviewers collected data with a structured questionnaire on demographic information, Korean geriatric depression score, activity of daily living(ADL), instrumental activity of daily living(IADL), and Young's successful aging instrument in subject's home. A CART analysis split subjects into ten homogeneous small groups based on five determinant factors. Older people who are male, with higher education, living with family, and not receiving Medicaid showed better scores in successful aging than their counter parts. Depression was a strong primary determinant for successful aging. A risk group for successful aging of older people was identified by depression and IADL. An intervention to prevent and manage depression and to improve physical function of older people can be developed to promote successful aging of older people. It is suggested to consider an assessment of depression to develop the policies for older people welfare.

Proper operation of the battery powered systems depends on the accuracy of the battery SOC(State of Charge) estimation, therefore it is critical for those systems that SOC is accurately determined. The SOC of the battery is related to the battery aging and the SOC estimation methods without considering the aging of the battery are not accurate. In this paper, a new method that accurately estimate the SOC of the battery is proposed considering the aging of the battery. A mathematical model for the Battery SOC-OCV(Open Circuit Voltage) relationship is presented using Boltzmann equation and aging indicator is defined, and then the SOC is estimated combining the mathematical model and aging indicator. The proposed method takes the aging of the battery into consideration, which leads to an accurate estimation of the SOC. The simulations and experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed method for improving the accuracy of the SOC estimation.

배터리는 사용 기간과 회수가 증가함에 따라 수명이 점차 감소한다. SOH(State-Of-Health)는 배터리의 초기 상태와 현재 상태를 비교하여 배터리의 수명 상태를 나타내는 지표이며, 이는 배터리를 사용함에 있어서배터리의 현재 충전상태를 나타내는 SOC(State-Of-Charge)와 함께 정확한 추정을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 리튬이온 배터리를 C-rate에 따라 노화시키며 각 C-rate별 SOH 추정 경향성을 분석하였다. 배터리의 SOC와 SOH는 확장 칼만 필터를 병렬적으로 사용하는 이중 확장 칼만 필터를 활용하여 추정한다. 배터리의 노화실험은 완전충전과 완전충전을 반복하는 전류 프로파일을 인가하였으며, 실험은 상온(25℃)에서 실행하였다.
