PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of craniocervical flexion exercise with masticatory muscle contraction in patients with neck pain. Patients with neck pain also experience muscle weakness and limitation of activities of daily living. Craniocervical flexion exercise with masticatory muscle contraction may increase the thickness of the deep cervical flexor muscles, thereby reducing pain and limitations on activities of daily living. METHODS: Twenty-six volunteers participated in this study. The subjects were randomly divided into an experimental group (n=13) and a control group (n=13). Both groups performed craniocervical flexion exercise using a pressure biofeedback unit; the experimental group performed craniocervical flexion exercise with masticatory muscle contraction for 20 minutes, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Assessment tools included ultrasonography for measurement of muscle thickness and the Neck Disability Index for the level of pain and function. RESULTS: The rate of change in muscle thickness in both groups significantly increased (p<.05), with a significantly greater increase in the experimental group than in the control group (p<.05). The Neck Disability Index score significantly improved (p<.05) in both groups, with significantly greater improvement in the experimental group compared with the control group (p<.05). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that craniocervical flexion exercise with masticatory muscle contraction can be effective in increasing muscle thickness and improving the Neck Disability Index score in patients with neck pain.

To characterize flooding-affected anatomical morphology changes in soybean, flooding-tolerant cv Pung-sannamulkong (PSNK) and flooding-sensitive cv. Sobaek-namulkong (SBNK) at 5 trifoliate leaf stage were exposed to flooding by maintaining tap water 2 cm above soil surface for 9 days and resultant microscopic anatomical changes in leaf and hypocotyl cross-sections along with chlorophyll content and photosynthetic rate changes were compared. Flooding-sensitive SBNK exhibited more significant decrement in chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, number of palisade parenchyma, and leaf dry matter compared to cv. PSNK. Flooding decreased fineness of palisade parenchyma, while inducing wider xylem vessel, especially in PSNK. The aerenchyma formation in hypocotyls under flooding could be observed only in flooding-resistant PSNK. All these anatomical changes seems to be related with higher physiolocial activity and resultant resistance against flooding in PSNK compared to flood-sensitive PSNK.

본 연구는 고온초전도 coated coductors의 기판으로 cube texture된 순수 Ni 기판을 개발하기 위하여 전체 가공율과 압연율에 따른 (100) texture의 변화와 1차적으로 열처리한 기판을 다시 압연한 후 재열처리 하였을 때의 전체 가공율과 압연율에 따른 (100) texture의 변화를 GADS XRD와 SEM을 이용하여 연구하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 압연 후에는 압연율에 관계없이 비교적 약한 강도의 (220)과 (200), (111), (311) peak가 나타났는데, 4%로 압연했을 경우 (220) peak가 가장 강한 peak로 나타난 반면, 10%로 압연한 경우에는 (200) peak가 비교적 강하게 나타났다. 그러나 이를 $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 후에는 (200) peak 만 뚜렷이 발달되어 나타났는데, 전체 가공율과 압연율이 높을수록 (200) peak의 강도가 높게 나타나 압연을 통하여 발달한 결정립자의 (110) 면을 따른 배열이 열처리 과정을 통하여 회전하여 (100)면을 따른 배열로 바뀌는 것으로 추측할 수 있었다. 그러나 $900^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 두께 0.2mm 판재를 다시 0.1mm까지 4%와 10%의 압연율로 압연하고 500~$900^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 최종 열처리한 후에는 상대적으로 낮은 2차 가공율에 의하여 집합조직의 전체 가공율과 압연율에의 의존성이 사라지는 것으로 나타났다.

In solid propellant rocket motors, $Al_2O_3$, one of combustion products, can be accumulated inside a combustion chamber. A special rocket motor was designed and tested to simulate thermal reaction of rubber insulator affected by the deposited slag. We successfully demonstrated through a dynamic radioscopy that the slag was deposited at the location as designed. In this paper we present a new test method which can simulate a high temperature and pressure environment in combustion chamber to evaluate material characteristics of rubber insulator and can provide design data to decide its thickness for a new solid rocket motor. The solid rocket motor, which has an average chamber pressure of 770 psia and a burning time of 50 seconds, was tested. The results show that erosion of EPDM insulator is more affected by a gas velocity rather than by the thermal reaction of slag with a high thermal capacity.

A two-axis gimbal-type X-band antenna is widely used to transmit bulk image data from high-resolution observation satellites. However, undesirable microvibrations induced by driving the antenna should be attenuated, because they are a main cause of image-quality degradation of the observation satellite. In this study, a pseudoelastic memory alloy (SMA) gear was proposed to attenuate the microvibrations by driving the antenna in an azimuth angle. In addition, the proposed gear can overcome the limitations of the conventional titanium blade gear, which is not still enough and is vulnerable to plastic deformations under excessive torque. To investigate the basic characteristics of the proposed SMA mesh washer gear, a static load test was performed on the thickness of the SMA mesh washer and the rotation of the gear. Moreover, The microvibration measurement test demonstrated that the SMA mesh washer gear proposed in this study is effective for microvibration attenuation.

목 적: 통상적인 근관성형 과정에서 근관형태의 직선화 경향을 발견할수 있으며 그 결과 만곡이 심한 근관에서 이상적인 근관 형태를 얻기가 어려움으로 인해 이를 극복하기 위한 많은 기구들과 근관 성형법들이 개선되었고 소개되었다. 본 연구에서는 수통형 Stainless Steel K-file, Niti 엔진 구동형 Profile .04와 Quantec LX file를 이용하여 만곡 근관의 성형 후 최종 근관 형태를 비교하고 평가하고자 한다. 방 법: 본 실험은 Bramante등의 방법을 변형하여 술 전의 근관 형태와 술 후의 근관 형태를 비교하였다. Schneider의 방법에 따라 $12^{\circ}$에서 $68^{\circ}$ 이내에 만독도를 가진 45개의 발거된 상하악 대구치의 근심근관들을 선택하여 15개씩 3개의 군으로 나누고 알루미늄으로 제작된 mold에 투명한 교정용 레진으로 매몰하였다. 근첨에서 2.5, 5, 8mm 지점에서 절단하고 각 mold에 재조립한 후 다음과 같이 근관 성형을 시행하였다. 제 1 군은 SS K-file를 이용하여 Step-back 방법; 제 2 군은 NiTi 엔진 구동형인 Profile .04 ; 제 3 군은 NiTi 엔진 구동형인 Quantec LX file로 근관 성형하였다. 술 전과 술 후에, 각 시편들을 입체 현미경으로 사진 촬영하여 근관 중심 위치 이동률, 근관성형 후 면적과 모양, 잔존 상아질의 최 소 두께를 Sigma scan / image software program으로 계산하고 One way ANOVA로 통계적 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 론: 1. Profile .04와 Quantec LX는 SS K-file보다 근관성형시 근관의 본 형태를 유지하는 경향이 있었으나 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 근관 성형 후 면적은 Profile .04 엔진 구동형 NiTi file를 이용한 군이 다른 군과 비해 가장 적었으나 통계적으로 유의성이 없었다(p>0.05). 2. 모든 방법들은 같은 부위에서 같은 방향으로 전이되는 양상을 보였다. 즉, 근단부에서는 바깥쪽으로, 중앙부에서는 안쪽으로 전이하려는 경향이 있었다. 그러나, 치관부에는 그러한 법칙이 적용되지 않아 전이되는 양상이 안쪽이나 바깥쪽으로 구별되지 않게 일어났다. 3. 술 후에 근관의 모양은 원형, 타원형, 불균일한 형태들이 다양하게 나타났지만, Profile .04와 Quantec LX를 사용했을 때 주로 원형 형태의 근관을 보여주었으며 Stainless Steel K-file은 타원형이나 불균일한 근관 형태를 보였다.

The thermal response of carbon/phenolic used in a solid rocket nozzle liner was analyzed. In this paper, the numerical analysis of the thermal response of carbon/phenolic consists of (1) the integration equation of the boundary layer to obtain the convective heat transfer coefficient of the combustion gas on the rocket nozzle wall and (2) 1-D finite difference method for heat conduction of carbon/phenolic to calculate the ablation, char, and temperature. The calculated result was compared with the result of a blast-tube-type test motor. It is found that the calculated result shows good agreement with the thermal response of the test motor, except at the vicinity of the throat insert.

When extruding Al6061 alloys, deformation energy is deposited inside the extruded alloy depending on the deformation and the temperature of extrusion. This creates a Peripheral Coarse Grain (PCG) on the surface, where relatively more deformation energy. of the extruded alloy has been accumulated. Furthermore, since the deformation of materials continues while the materials recrystallize, it is important to examine the effect of deformation energy on dynamic recrystallization in the process of extruding Al alloys along with their microstructure. Prior studies explain the theory behind PCG growth though quantitative analysis on PCG growth of Al alloys during extrusion processes has not yet been addressed. This study aims to measure the generated PCG thickness which determines the correlation between extrusion outlet temperature and its effect on mechanical properties. Surface structure observations were performed using Optical Microscope (OM) and mechanical properties were evaluated through tensile strength and hardness measurement. Throughout this study, we endevoured to find the optimum condition of extrusion exit temperature of Al6061 and confirmed improved d reliability. This study describes the effect of the complex process variables such as exit temperature on the thickness of PCG layer for the Al6061 alloy using the 200 tons extrusion press. We therefore, discovered that the PCG layer thickness was 117 ㎛ at temperatures between 460 ℃ to 520 ℃.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of open and closed kinetic chain exercises with a sling on neck flexor thickness during chin-in movement in office workers with forward head posture. Methods: Thirty-one selected subjects randomly performed chin-in movement in open kinetic chain and closed kinetic chain exercises using a sling. All subjects were measured for their neck flexor thickness using ultrasound measurement equipment during the performance of chin-in movement in open and closed kinetic chain exercised. A paired t-test was used to compare the thickness of the total neck flexor, superficial, and deep neck flexor, respectively, between open and closed kinetic chain exercises with chin-in movement. Results: The thickness of the superficial neck flexor diminished in size more greatly during the chin-in movement with the closed kinetic chain than the open kinetic chain, but this was not a statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). On the other hand, the thickness of the total neck flexor and deep neck flexor had more greatly increased during the chin-in movement with the closed kinetic chain than the open kinetic chain, and this was a statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study suggested that chin-in movement with a closed kinetic chain is more effective in activating the deep neck flexor than the open kinetic chain. Thus, we believe that the closed kinetic chain exercise using a sling is an effective intervention to correct the postural alignment of individuals with forward head posture.
