The purpose of this study is to estimate employment promotion and job retention effects of assistive technology device. Data from the survey on status of the vocational life counselor for workers with disabilities in 2009 was utilized. This study applied multiple regression analysis methods. As a result, effects of the employment promotion and job retention in the whole samples were not founded. Thereupon, this analysis was performed by company size. For the employment promotion effect, the company which provided assistive technology devices was higher than that of company which did not provide devices in the less than 300 persons sample. For the job retention effect, worker with disabilities who used assistive technology devices was longer than that of workers with disabilities who did not use devices in the 50-299 persons sample, Finally, policy suggestions based on the results of this study was presented.

This paper presents the design optimization of fuel sensor location used to measure remained fuel amount in aircraft conformal fuel tank. The conformal fuel tank is utilized to expand the mission range in airplane, and the sensor location is a critical design variable determining the measurement accuracy. In this work, the sensor location is optimized to minimize unmeasurable fuel amount due to non-contact between fuel and sensor. The simplified model is prepared from the conformal fuel tank CATIA model, and the unmeasurable fuel amount is calculated. Then, the optimization is performed using MATLAB optimization solver. The optimized sensor location is validated by comparing with the location obtained using parametric study.

In spite of continuous implementation of the transportation demand management (TDM), the profuse use of car at the peak-time has caused chronic traffic congestion in the Seoul downtown area. This study makes a comparative analysis on the effectiveness of commuting cost subsidy system for public transit user with other policy instruments such as an increment in fuel tax and park cost. This study not only follows standard guidelines of stated preference methodology to guarantee objectivity, but also uses sample enumeration method and non-Parametric bootstrapping method to secure reliability of empirical results. As a result of empirical studies, the conversion effect of car to public transit is superior to other two Policy instruments. Also. an increment in fuel tax and park cost is income-regressive from the equity aspect in a wage bracket, but commuting cost subsidy system for Public transit user is Income-progressive As a fundamental research on commuting cost subsidy system for public transit user, this study is likely to Provide Policy-makers with quantitative information useful in establishing Public transport Policy to Promote the use of the public transit.

The purpose of this study was to test the safety of the heel rest which was made for reducing the automobile driver's muscle fatigue with automatic transmission. Sixty subjects participated in the test, including ten males and ten females in 30s, 40s, 50s, respectively. Simulator consisted of automobile cockpit, accelerator and brake pedal sensor, heel rest. and driving displays. 30 seconds were given to subjects to be accustomed to the simulator environment. They also had one pre-trial to use the brake pedal according to the experimental scenario. They were told to step on the brake pedal immediately as soon as the red light was on the display The reaction time representing the foot travel time between accelerator and brake pedal was measured with/without the heel rest. In results, there was no significant difference in reaction time between conditions with/without heel rest. The result indicated that the heel rest used in this study would be a safe accessory for drivers who need to reduce the fatigue of the muscle or joint during driving.

The in-situ Compaction test using sand cone (RC) and Plate Bearing Capacity Test (PBT) has been widely used for evaluating the subgrade and subbase condition on the pavement system. However, because the in-situ RC and PBT test are expensive and take plenties of time for operation, these are very difficult to figure out the in-situ characteristics of subgrade and subbase strength in detail. Therefore, for faster and economical operation, this study is to compare the Light Falling Weight Tests and propose the LFWD test as the in-situ Compaction test. This study suggests the relationship between in-situ RC value, $K_{30}$, $M_R$ and $E_{LFWD}$ of the subgrade and subbase materials in Korea using the laboratory and in-situ testing.

Dental assistant in South Korea, The work is overlapped considerably between dental hygienist and dental practical nurse. Moreover, dental technician, hospital coordinator work in dentistry consultation deeply. It cause friction among work scope of occupation's type. Accordingly It is purpose to get basic data which is necessary to deduce division of work training and utilization of human resources in oral health distinguish clearly between business occupations. Also compared and analyzed via analysis of frequency and ANOVA above 10 works around something legal work of dental hygienist regarding work reality of dental assistant in dental clinic and hospital. Compare with scaling, representative item about 10 works center on legal work of dental hygienist, is implementing dental technician 9(75%), practical nurse 64(87.67%), etc. 11(64.71%). Dental assistant except dental hygienist is implementing indigenous legal work of dental hygienist. Dental institution secure enough man power, It is suggested necessity for policy means regarding role and work scope of dental assistant.

In urgent situations such as crashes, the integrity of an aircraft's fuel tank is directly related to the survivability of the crew. Thus, an external auxiliary fuel tank should be robust against bird strikes. In this study, a numerical analysis was carried out using impact analysis software to analyze the influence of bird strike on a composite container for an external auxiliary fuel tank. The structure was modeled as a shell element, and the fluid and bird were modeled by the particle method. The behavior of the internal fluid was also examined. The maximum stress, deformation, and strain of the composite container were also calculated.

The resilient modulus which is presented mechanical properties of compacted subbase material is the design parameter on the Mechanistic - Empirical pavement design guide. The compaction control method on the Mechanistic - Empirical pavement design guide will be the way to confirm whether the in-situ elastic modulus measured after the compaction meets the resilient modulus which is applied the design. The resilient modulus in this study is calculated by the neural network suggested by Korea Pavement Research Program, and degree of compaction as the existing compaction control test and plate bearing capacity test(PBT) was performed to confirm whether the in-situ elastic modulus is measured. The Light Falling Weight Deflectometer(LFWD) is additionally tested for correlation analysis between each in-situ elastic modulus and resilient modulus, and is proposed correlation equation and test interval which can reduced overall testing cost. Also, the subbase compaction control procedure based on the in-situ elastic modulus is proposed using the in-situ PBT and LFWD test result.
