본 연구는 구강안면동통 중에서 빈번히 나타나는 근육성 동통의 주 원인인 저작근의 과활성으로 유발된 근육의 피로 시에 운동단위전위, 압력통각역치, 근전도 power spectrum의 변화 양상과 이들 척도간의 연관성을 조사하기 위해 시행되었다. 두개하악장애의 병력 및 현증이 없고 정상적인 구치부 교합관계를 가진 평균연령 25.8세인 36명의 정상 성인(남자 26명, 여자 10명)을 대상으로 교근과 전측두근의 지속적인 등길이 수축 전후의 압력통각역치 및 운동단위전위를 측정하였고 인내시간까지의 근수축 동안 근전도 power spectrum을 분석하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 지속적인 등길이 수축 후 교근과 전측두근의 압력통각역치는 수축 전에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다. 2. 압력통각역치는 수축 전과 수축 후 모두에서 전측두근이 교근보다 유의하게 높게 나타났으며, 전체적으로 남성이 여성보다 높게 나타나는 양상을 보였으나 성별간의 차이는 전측두근의 수축 후 압력통각역치에서만 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 3. 지속적인 등길이 수축말기의 중간주파수는 수축초기에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였고, 전측두근의 수축초기 중간주파수와 수축말기 중간주파수 모두 교근보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다. 4. 교근은 지속적인 등길이 수축 전에 비하여 수축 후의 운동단위전위의 지속시간,진폭, 면적, 상의 4가지 척도에서 유의한 증가를 보였고 전측두근은 진폭을 제외한 나머지 3가지 척도, 즉 지속시간, 면적, 상의 유의한 증가를 보였다. 5. 교근과 전측두근의 지속적인 등길이 수축 전의 압력통각역치와 운동단위전위 척도 사이에는 통계적으로 유의한 상관관계가 없었고 교근에서는 수축 후의 압력통각역치와 운동단위전위의 지속시간, 진폭, 면적, 상 사이에 유의한 상관관계가 존재하였다. 위의 실험결과를 통해 근육피로 검사에 압력통각역치, 근전도 power spectrum 검사 외에 근육수축의 기능적 최소 단위인 운동단위전위의 분석 또한 유용할 수 있고 추후 만성으로 진행된 근막동통환자와 정상 대조군간의 운동단위 수준에서의 비교연구와 근피로에 더욱 민감한 운동단위전위의 다른 척도에 대한 개발과 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was planned to determine the characteristics of extremely obese patients during Bariatric surgery and to evaluate how the difference in the number of postsurgical personal nutritional educations they received affected the weight loss. Methods: This is a retrospective study on the basis of the medical records of extremely obese patients for 15 months after receiving gastric banding. A total of 60 people were selected as the study subjects and they were divided into the Less Educated Group and the More Educated Group according to the average number of personal nutritional educations they received. We investigated both groups to determine the general characteristic, health related lifestyle habits, obesity related complications and symptoms in possession, and eating habits before their surgery, the body composition measurement result, obesity determination indices at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 months before and after their surgery, and the biochemical parameters at 6 months before and after their surgery. Results: Body fat and weight showed rapid reduction until 6 months after the surgery, but thereafter reduced slowly depending on the result of body composition measurement. Regarding body fat and weight, the More Educated Group, who received nutrition education more often, showed significantly lower levels than the Less Educated Group at 15 months after surgery. Regarding BMI and degree of obesity, the More Educated Group showed significantly lower levels than the Less Educated Group at 15 months after surgery. Here, we were assured that BMI is reversely proportional to the number of personal nutritional educations at 15 months, which is more outstanding after surgery than before surgery. Conclusion: Long-term nutritional education is a key factor for the extremely obese patient in maintaining the effects of Bariatric surgery on weight and body fat reduction onwards. In the next stage, considering the characteristics of the study subjects, adoption of individual nutrition education is recommended for postsurgical prospective arbitration of obesity in order to monitor blood pressure, obesity related complications, symptoms in possession, and how eating habits and health related life habits change, and to judge the actual effect of the nutritional education method at the same time.

This study evaluated the statistical stationarity of rainfall quantiles as well as the rainfall itself. The conventional methodologies like the Cox-Stuart test for trend and Dickey-Fuller test for a unit root used for testing the stationarity of a time series were applied and evaluated their application to the rainfall quantiles. As results, first, no obvious increasing or decreasing trend was found for the rainfall in Seoul, which was also found to be a stationary time series based on the Dickey-Fuller test. However, the Cox-Stuart test for the rainfall quantiles show some trends but not in consistent ways of increasing or decreasing. Also, the Dickey-Fuller test for a unit root shows that the rainfall quantiles are non-stationary. This result is mainly due to the difference between the rainfall data and rainfall quantiles. That is, the rainfall is a random variable without any trend or non-stationarity. On the other hand, the rainfall quantiles are estimated by considering all the data to result in high correlation between their consecutive estimates. That is, as the rainfall quantiles are estimated by adding a stationary rainfall data continuously, it becomes possible for their consecutive estimates to become highly correlated. Thus, it is natural for the rainfall quantiles to be decided non-stationary if considering the methodology used in this study.

램제트 추진기관은 압축과정을 별도의 부품 없이 형상에 의해서 감속하여 연소 압력비를 얻는다. 따라서 구동 마하수와 형상에 의해 흡입과정의 압축 효율이 결정된다. 설계점은 충분한 유량을 확보 할 수 있는 유량과 충격파 각을 조절하여 전압력 손실을 줄이도록 고려되어야 한다. 또한 연소가 일어나면 연소실 압력이 배압으로 작용하고 비행시에 받음각은 변하므로 이에 따른 성능 분석도 고려 되어야 할 사항이다. 본 연구는 국내에서 실험한 형상에 대해 수치계산을 수행하여 코드의 검증과 아울러 램제트 유동장의 수치적 시뮬레이션도 설계단계에서 하나의 도구로 이용할 수 있음을 보여준다. 실험에서는 배압 조건을 얻기 위해 유동 블록키지를 유로 내에 두어 상응하는 배압을 얻었지만 본 계산에서는 압력 경계조건을 직접 사용하였다. 유동이 비정상 특성을 가지므로 시간 정확도를 이차로 가지도록 이중시간 전진법을 사용하였다. 사용한 압력비는 충격파가 카울 끝에 닿는 임계상태에 가까운 12, 13, 14에 대해 계산을 수행하였고 부스터모드로 흡입구 끝이 막혀 있다가 램제트 모드로 바뀌어 연소실 압력이 위의 압력비라고 가정할 때의 비정상 천이 과정을 계산해 보았다. 본 계산은 흡입구 부분만을 떼어놓고 적절한 가정 하에 수행되었지만 연소실 내부도 비정상 특성을 가지므로 흡입구와 연소실을 동시에 같이 계산해야한다. 추후에 전체적인 계산을 진행하기 위한 전 단계로 흡입구 계산만을 수행하여 실험과 잘 일치하는 계산 결과를 얻었고 전체 계산을 위한 연구는 진행 중에 있다.

A Bayesian nonstationary probability rainfall estimation model using the Grid method is developed. A hierarchical Bayesian framework is consisted with prior and hyper-prior distributions associated with parameters of the Gumbel distribution which is selected for rainfall extreme data. In this study, the Grid method is adopted instead of the Matropolis Hastings algorithm for random number generation since it has advantage that it can provide a thorough sampling of parameter space. This method is good for situations where the best-fit parameter values are not easily inferred a priori, and where there is a high probability of false minima. The developed model was applied to estimated target year probability rainfall using hourly rainfall data of Seoul station from 1973 to 2012. Results demonstrated that the target year estimate using nonstationary assumption is about 5~8% larger than the estimate using stationary assumption.

This paper focuses on detecting abnormal patterns of respiration of humans. In this study, a contact-based device was used to acquire both normal and abnormal respiration signals. To this end, this paper reports the development of a monitoring system to investigate the respiratory status of humans in a normal environment. This work aims to classify the respiratory status, i.e., normal and abnormal status, quantitatively. The respiration signal is acquired using a contact-based medical device (BIOBPAC), and noise reduction is carried out before classifying the respiratory status. To reduce noise, a mixed filter that combines the Savitzky-Golay filter and Median filter is applied to the acquired respiration signals. The inter-class distance is maximized, and the intra-class distance is minimized. The proposed algorithm is straightforward and can be applied to a practical environment. In addition, the experimental results are provided to substantiate the proposed approach.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the structural changes of the hyoid bone and upper airway after orthognathic surgery for skeletal class III anterior open bite patients, and make comparisons with normal occlusion. Methods: Pre- and post-operative computed tomography (CT) examinations were performed on 12 skeletal class III anterior open bite patients who were treated with mandibular setback osteotomy. Using the V-works $4.0^{TM}$ program, 3-dimensional images of the total skull, mandible, hyoid bone, and upper airway were evaluated. Results: In the Class III open bite group, the hyoid bone were all positioned anteriorly, compared to the Normal group (p < 0.05). The angle between the hyoid plane and mandibular plane in the Class III openbite group before surgery was greater than in the Normal group (p < 0.05), and the difference increased after surgery (p < 0.01). In the Class III openbite group, the volume of the upper airway decreased after surgery (p < 0.001) and the volume of the upper airway was smaller than the Normal group before and after surgery (p < 0.001). Conclusions: The narrow upper airway space in skeletal Class III openbite patients decreased after mandibular setback osteotomy. This may affect the post-surgical stability.

This paper addresses an improved naval combat UPS(Uninterruptable Power Supply) system under abnormal transients. Previously, thermistor and varistor elements were used to cope with transient overvoltage and overcurrent, however the UPS was frequently unavailable because it was vulnerable to abnormal transient voltage generated during system operation. In order to overcome this problem and protect UPS system, this paper proposes an input power cut-off circuit that detects the initial input power and abnormal transient voltage generated during operation, improvement of power control sequence, and a method to prevent malfunction of an inverter and CPU. The UPS system implementing the proposed method was simulated by input power variable test using programmable AC/DC generator, and finally validated its reliability and stability through field tests by mounting on multifunctional console of naval combat system.
