Background: Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is not regarded as an impairment in Korea. Guidelines for rating this impairment are under development by the Korean Academy of Medical Science based on that of the American Medical Association (AMA). However, no studies have been done on the validity of these guidelines in Korea. We therefore evaluated the validity of these guidelines using the criteria from the chapter on the central and peripheral nervous system (CNS-PNS class) and the worksheet for calculating total pain-related impairment score (TPRIS class). Methods: TPRIS and CNS-PNS classes were calculated through interviews of 28 CRPS patients. The correlation between the two classes was calculated. Results: TPRIS class and CNS-PNS class were well correlated (r = 0.593, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Both TPRIS or CNS-PNS classes were well correlated and could be used for evaluation of impairment. However, the CNS-PNS class is simpler and quicker to complete.

This paper presents a hybrid system combining lead rubber bearings and hydraulic actuators controlled by a $\mu-synthesis$ method for seismic response control of a cable-stayed bridge. A hybrid system could alleviate some of restrictions and limitations that exist when each system is acting alone because multiple control devices are operating. Therefore, the overall control performance of a hybrid system may be improved compared to each system, however the overall system robustness may be negatively impacted by active device in the hybrid system or active controller may cause instability due to small margins. Therefore, a $\mu-synthesis$ method that guarantees the robust performance is considered to enhance the possibility of real applications of the control system. The performances of the proposed control system are compared with those of passive, active, semiactive control systems and hybrid system controlled by a LQG algorithm. Furthermore, an extensive robust analysis with respect to stiffness and mass matrices perturbation and time delay of actuator is performed. Numerical simulation results show that the performances of the proposed control system are superior to those of passive system and slightly better than those of active and semiactive systems and two hybrid systems show similar control performances. Furthermore, the hybrid system controlled by a f-synthesis method shows the good robustness without loss of control performances. Therefore, the proposed control system could effectively be used to seismically excited cable-stayed bridge which contains many uncertainties.

A mathematical model of discharge mechanism of metal-hydride (MH) electrode was presented. A computer simulation program was developed in order to predict the variation of electrode potential and the distribution of hydrogen concentration within MH particles during discharge. By investigating the effects of the discharge current density, the size of MH particle, the diffusivity of hydrogen in MH particle, and the porosity of the electrode, it was found that these factors exerted a collective effect on the discharge characteristic of the electrode and the utilization of hydrogen in the MH particle. It was confirmed that and optimization of design factors of an MH electrode is necessary in order to execute a high-rate discharge and to improve the utilization of hydrogen in MH particle.

최근에는 재이용을 위한 하 폐수의 처리 공정에 막을 이용한 기술적용이 증가되고 있는 추세이다(현 등, 2005). 막(membrane)을 이용한 수처리 공정은 원수에 상관없이 고도처리가 가능하며, 재이용수 이용 용도에 따른 수질제어가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 운용의 편리성 때문에 많은 각광을 받고 있다(박 등, 2004). 본 연구에서는 하수처리에 이용되는 분리막의 성능을 극대화하고, 분리막의 오염부하를 줄여주기 위하여 분리막 직전 전처리 시설로 부상방식의 고액분리장치를 개발하였다. 초고속 고액분리시스템은 기존의 응집부상공정을 응용한 기술로서 유기물의 응집시간을 최대 10초~2분 이내로 줄이는 기술을 바탕으로 타워형 모듈 형태로 개발하였다. 초고속 고액분리시스템과 분리막을 연계한 재이용수 수처리시스템의 성능 평가 및 현장적용을 위해 제주도 서부 하수 처리장에 일 $3,000m^3$ 규모의 Test-bed를 구축하였다. 구축된 하수재이용시스템의 처리 공정도는 "유입${\rightarrow}$고액분리시스템${\rightarrow}$분리막(UF, RO)${\rightarrow}$농경지 공급"으로 구성되어 있다. 먼저 하수처리장 방류수를 1차 유입조에 압송하면 전처리시설인 고액분리시스템을 통해 SS 등 입자성 물질이 처리되고, 다음 공정인 2차 처리공정(UF/RO)을 통과한 처리수는 인근지역의 농업용수로 공급되고 있다. 고액분리시스템은 ZT(Zeta Potential Tower) 모듈에서 유입수에 함유되어 있는 부유물질(SS), 유기물(질소, 인)을 응집제와 순간 반응시켜 응결, 응집, 부상방식으로 제거하는 공정이다. 고속 고액분리장치는 분리막 공정과 융 복합하여 다양한 유입수 성상에 따른 수처리를 가능하게 하여 재이용수 수질 향상뿐만 아니라 안정된 수자원 확보 측면에서 긍정적인 기술로 평가되었다.

기후 변화에 따른 해수면 상승은 해안 지하수의 해수침투를 야기해 해안 지하수의 염도를 증가시킨다. 또한 해수면 상승은 토양 염류화를 심화시켜 농작물에 피해가 발생하며, 지하수위를 증가시켜 불포화대의 토양두께가 감소한다. 이처럼 지하수 해수침투가 발생하는 포화대와 토양 염류화가 발생하는 불포화대는 서로 연관되어 있지만, 대부분 포화대와 불포화대 연구는 별도로 진행되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 해안 간척지의 해수면 상승에 따른 포화대의 해수침투 및 불포화대의 토양염류화 영향을 연계하여 모의하였다. 포화대 모의는 미국지질조사국(United States Geological Survey, USGS)에서 개발한 3차원 이송확산 모델인 SUTRA, 불포화대 모의는 미국환경청(United States Environmental Protection Agency, USEPA)에서 개발한 1차원 이송확산모델인 VADOFT를 사용하였다. 해수면 상승 시나리오는 IPCC에서 공표한 바와 같이 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5 시나리오를 사용하였고, 미래 2100년까지 자료를 사용하였다. 해수면 상승 시나리오에 따라 해수침투 및 토양염류화 면적 그리고 지하수위 및 불포화대 토양두께를 정량적으로 산정하였다. 한반도 91개 간척지에 대해서 모의를 수행하였고, 과거 대비 미래 후반기 RCP 4.5 시나리오에서는 지하수 해수침투 면적이 $82.19km^2$, RCP 8.5 시나리오에서는 $83.71km^2$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 토양 염류화 면적은 과거 대비 미래 후반기 RCP 4.5 시나리오에서는 $22.25km^2$, RCP 8.5 시나리오에서는 $24.86km^2$ 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 담수호 또는 저수지가 있는 대상 지역에서는 해안선으로부터 거리 및 관리 수위가 해수 침투를 야기시키는 중요한 요인으로 나타났으며, 해수침투 저감을 위해서는 해안선 인근 저수지 수위의 적절한 유지관리가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 해수면상승에 따른 해안선의 위치변화와, 기존 관정에서의 양수량, 강수량 변화를 고려하는 것에 한계가 있기 때문에, 향후 위의 세 가지 사항을 복합적으로 고려한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

The automobile industry is representative industry of complex characteristics, which employing 10 million people, the largest manufacturing industry over $1 trillion in sales and assembling with 20,000 parts to make complete automobile and automobile assembly processes have a lower automation rate than other processes, which is labor intensive processes of assembling to painted body with 3,000 components such as seats, built-in, instrument panel, glass, engine, transmission units. However, the current assembly process does not have real-time monitoring. If a tool position tracking system is adapted to assembly process for directing consistent work order and checking for missing work, the productivity and quality improvement of the assembly process can be achieved by preemptively preventing possible defects in the assembly process. So, this paper aims to develop a Tool Position tracking system using UWB(Ultra Wide Band) with trilateration and proves their effectiveness for real-time monitoring of automotive assembly process.

Antidolary active and anti-sugar mechanisms of the ova family (石斛; Dendrobii herba) ethanol extract (EED) were investigated. The EED was administered orally four times a day in a diabetic mouse induced by strepto Joe Toshin to reveal and reveal its pharmacological miracle through experimental studies that reduce the liver function of empty blood sugar, glythamic oxal acetate levels, insulin levels and glutamic acid trans aminaase and glutamic acid pyruvic acid trans amine. EED increased insulin secretion by glucose in RINm5F beta cells as well as intraperitoneal glucose intakes in L6 muscle cells. Thus, EED has shown great promise in displaying anti-diabetes activity not only by increasing insulin secretion but also by increasing intakes per cell, and hopes that future research on pharmacological mechanisms for quartz (Dendrobii herba) ethanol extract will be more active and contribute greatly to the treatment of diabetes.

We prepared hydrophobic silica particles by a sol-gel process from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), followed by coupling the reaction with octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMS) or hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS) under various reaction conditions. We confirmed the extent of silica surface modification with organic compounds by SEM-EDS, thermogravimetry and elemental analysis. The silica particles obtained after the hydrolysis reaction of TEOS in ethanol at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and the coupling reaction with OTMS for 2 h at the same temperature displayed the optimum performance in terms of the dispersity in an organic solvent and the surface roughness of films composited with epoxy resins. The oxygen permeability of the composite film with modified-silica was 12% lower than that of using the film without modified-silica.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of disability identity on posttraumatic growth and the moderating effects of resilience on the relationship between the two variables in individuals with acquired disabilities who have experienced the trauma of disability in their adulthood. For the purpose, the study surveyed 203 persons who have acquired a disability after the age of 18 years, and then performed a standard multiple regression analysis and a hierarchical multiple regression analysis respectively using data gathered. The results of the study are as follows. First, a higher disability identity resulted in a higher level of posttraumatic growth. Second, when disability identity and posttraumatic growth were positively related, increasing the level of resilience increased the effect of disability identity on posttraumatic growth. Thus on the basis of the results, the study discussed the tasks ahead to form a positive disability identity and increase the level of resilience.
