The purpose of this study was to determine the comparison of upper arm, trunk and core muscle activities according to different performance in high Plank exercise using weightless exercise equipment. Six males(age, 23.00±0.73 years; height, 172.95±2.05 cm; body mass, 66.83±2.75 kg; and BMI, 22.33±0.72 kg/m²) completed this study as the subjects. Four type's high Plank exercises using weightless exercise equipment were performed(high plank, HP; high plank with air walker, HPAW; high plank with surf board, HPSB; high plank with waist trainer, HPWT). For the EMG analysis, we measured the body muscle activities of right side on the deltoid(DT), triceps brachii(TB), latissimus dorsi(LD), and external oblique(EO). This research's results were as follows. DT, TB, LD, & EO muscle activities were greatest during HPSB(p=.000). Therefore, these results are expected to serve as basic data for high Plank exercise using weightless exercise equipment performance applications in effective exercise programs.

Laparoscopic surgery is being used in various surgical fields because it minimizes scarring. Laparoscopic operations require practical hand skills, so surgeons train on animals and via surgery training tool sets. However, these tool sets do not give the surgeon the sensation of touching real organs. A recently developed laparoscope simulator has a high friction force along the translational axis and a high gravity force along the pitch axis, and therefore it does not permit the operator to control his or her hands delecately. In the paper, the friction force along the axes is auumed to depend on the veolcity, and the gravity force on the angle and distance. We develop a compensation model that combines the gravity and friction force models.

The purpose of this study is to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer. In this non-gravity fluidized dryer the fluidized zone is produced by two paddles in mixer, which maximizes the surface area of materials and then heated air through the guiding panels dehumidify them. This can conduct the drying process quickly and control moisture contents to lower limits. The ventilation system is closed loop system, which can be changeable to open system, and can be used as a multi-purposed dryer in which mixing, drying, granulating and cooling process is conducted. In order to develop the non-gravity fluidized dryer, in the first fundamental experiments were performed to mixing accuracy and then the other parts of dryer and control system were examined to check whether they were designed properly and operated harmoniously with mixer. Also the preparatory experiments were fulfilled to examine the efficiency and reliability of the dryer. Lastly, on the basis of preparatory experiments, performance test for the non-gravity fluidized dryer carried out for the variation of the initial moisture contents, desired moisture contents, heated air velocity and heating temperature.

Measurements with filaments and thermocouples and computations with Oppdif and FDS were carried out to investigate the impact of flame strain, agent addition, and buoyancy on the structure and extinction of nonpremixed counterflow flames. Measurements through 2.2 s drop tests in microgravity conditions and experiments in normal gravity conditions were compared with the results of computations. For the global strain rates 7 s$^{-1}$ through 100 s$^{-1}$ , the turning point behavior in the critical nitrogen concentration at O-g was confirmed. The effects of buoyancy, that is, changes in the flame curvature and thickness were also confirmed by the computations with FDS. There was agreement in the peak flame temperature and its position between the computations and the measurements in the near extinction methane/air diffusion flames in microgravity.

Satellites are generally put in horizontal configuration to install a weighty, large and deploying SAR antenna which is required precise alignment. It is not to damage an antenna deployment mechanism from impellent strength as SAR antenna rotation axis is aligned with the gravity axis and SAR antenna is put in a zero gravity condition. In order to install such a deploying antenna, satellite should be a same condition of the vertical configuration without the deflection of satellite when it is rotated horizontally. In this paper, it is shown how to measure the deflection of satellite and how to get a reaction force value for compensating the deflection.

The effects of shield gas on the structure of methane-air nonpremixed counterflow flames were numerically investigated. The near extinction flame of a low global strain rate 20 $s^{-1}$ of 19% methane diluted by 81% nitrogen by volume and undiluted air was computed. The flame shape, centerline temperature and axial velocity profiles were compared for different velocity of the shield gas and with and without the shield gas. The effects of the velocity of the shield gas were negligible for $V_{S}/V_{F}{\leq}2$ in normal gravity. Under normal gravity conditions, the flame shape and its position with the shield gas were different from those of the flame without the shield gas, whereas no discernible effects of the shield gas along the centerline were observed in zero gravity.

Two different gravity specific cDNA, namely, GSC 13 and GSC 124 with length of 1.34 and 0.67 kilobase pairs, and transcripts of 2.0 and 1.9 kilobase pairs, respectively. were isolated by differential screening and northern hybridization of the total RNA isolated from treated and untreated cultured cells showed that maximum levels of trannscripts were achieved after 4 h of gravity stress at 450, 000 x g for both, GSC 13 and GSC 124, suggesting that these mRNA could be expressed and translated into polyeptites related to the cell to extream gravity stress.

우주는 무중력, 또한 초고진공의 세계이다. 우주에서 기계가 작동할 때, 운동 저항은 마찰력과 관성력만이 작용한다. 여기서 관성력은 가속, 감속 일 때만 작용하며 그 힘은 정확하게 계산하여 얻을 수 있다. 이것에 대하여 마찰력은 접촉면에 항상 존재하며, 또한 비정상이다. 본 연구에서는 피막재로서 앞서의 보고에서 이미 유효성이 나타난 바 있는 In을 사용하여 마찰 반복수에 따른 마찰관계변화에 미치는 Pin, disc의 표면 거칠기의 변화의 영향을 명확하게 밝히고, 초고진공중에 있어서 Tribo-Coating법에 의한 In막은 윤활기구를 검토하고자 한다.
