This research presents several velocity modification methods for collision avoidance of two manipulators in a common workspace. Due to the distinct nature of collision avoidance between the two manipulators, a new classification of collision situations is presented and utilized in planning a collision-free path. Concepts of a collision map and velocity modification are applied for realizing collision-free motion planning. An example is shown for velocity modification of a trajectory, which shows the significance of the proposed approaches in collision-free motion planneng of two moving robots.

원자력 발전소 배관계통에 파단전 누설 (LBB) 설계개념의 적용을 위해서는 원자로 가동온도에서의 재료의 파괴저항성 평가가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 원자로의 1차 냉각계통배관의 엘보우 소재로 사용되는 SA516-Gr.70 강의 파괴저항성에 미치는 DSA (Dynamic Strain Aging, 동적변형시효) 영향을 고찰하였다. 파괴저항성 평가를 위해 원자로 가동온도를 포함한 상온~50$0^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 준정적 하중에서부터 지진 하중 정도의 동적 하중까지 하중속도를 달리하여 직류전위차법 (DCPD) 이용하여 J-R 시험을 행하였다. J-R 시험결과, SA516-Gr.70 강은 특정한 온도와 하중속도의 조합에서 파괴저항성이 크게 떨어지는 양상을 보였으며, 낮은 파괴저항성을 나타내는 온도는 하중속도가 증가함에 따라 높은 온도쪽으로 이동하는 전형적인 DSA 감수성을 보였다. 인장시험을 통해서도 큰 폭의 serration 이 관찰되었으며 SA516-Gr.70 강에서 파괴저항성의 변화와 DSA 현상과의 연관성을 고찰하였다.

본 연구에서는 제방붕괴에 의한 제내지 홍수파 거동 해석의 일환으로 제방붕괴시 제방의 붕괴깊이에 따른 제내지에서의 홍수파의 거동 양상을 수리실험을 통하여 고찰하였다. 다양한 제방붕괴폭과 초기하도수위 및 제방붕괴고 조건에 대해 범람홍수파의 전파속도와 제내지에서의 최대수심의 변화를 실험을 통하여 관찰하였다. 범람홍수파 선단(wave-front)의 이동속도는 동일한 하도수위조건에서는 붕괴고가 높을수록 감소하는 것으로 나타나 제방붕괴시 월류수심 $H_w$가 범람홍수파 전파속도에 영향을 준다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 모든 실험조건에서 최대수심은 일정한 경향을 띠고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 제방인근 지점에서 최대수심이 가장 크게 나타났고, 붕괴부로부터 일정 지점이 지나면 수위가 급격히 감소하여 거리에 관계없이 일정한 최대수심을 유지하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 동일 수위조건이라면 제방붕괴고가 낮을수록 제내지로 유입되는 유량이 증가하여 초기에 제방붕괴부 주위에서 수심이 높아지는 것으로 분석할 수 있다. 실험결과를 이용하여 범람홍수파의 전파속도와 최대수심을 산정하는 식을 무차원변수를 이용하여 제시하였다.

Noninvasive techniques for antenatal detection of the fetal development and well-being such as biophysical profile, non-stress and stress test remain major challenges in modem obstetric practice. To obtain and analyze umbilical artery velocity waveform by pulsed-wave doppler ultrasound, a total of 160 determinations were carried out on 157 normal pregnant women between 16th to 41st week gestation. The ratio of peak systolic to end-diastolic flow velocity(S/D ratio), pulsatility index and resistance index were measured as indices of the resistance in feto-placental circulation. The results were as follows : As gestation advances, the, mean values for peak systolic and end-diastolic velocities raised progressively. As gestation advances, the mean values for the S/D ratio declined progressively, exhibiting high diastolic flow velocity caused by low resistance. Pulsatility index, and resistance index were also declined progressively, as gestation advances. The analysis of umbilical artery blood flow velocity waveforms provides a new noninvasive technique to evaluate fetal development and well-being, and may be expected a reliable method for assessment of fetal life.

Purpose: Heart to liver ratio on T1-201 per rectal scintigraphy (shunt index) is known to be useful in the assessment of portal systemic shunt. We assessed T1-201 uptake pattern and early liver/heart uptake rate of T1-201 and correlated with shunt index in patients with chronic active hepatitis (CAH) and liver cirrhosis (LC). Materials and Methods: Fifty eight patients with biopsy-proven chronic liver disease (35 with CAH, 23 with LC) underwent T1-201 per rectum scintigraphy after instillation of 18.5 MBq of T1-201 into the upper rectum. We evaluated hepatic uptake (type 1 : homogeneous, 2: inhomogeneous segmental, 3: inhomogeneous nonsegmental) and extrahepatic uptake of spleen, heart and kidney (grade 0: no uptake, 1: less than liver, 2: equal to liver, 3: greater than liver). We measured the early liver/heart uptake rate (the slope of the liver to heart uptake ratio for 10 min) and shunt index (heart to liver uptake ratio). T1-201 uptake pattern and early liver/heart uptake rate of T1-201 was correlated with the pathologic diagnosis and shunt index. Results: Hepatic uptake patterns of type 1 and 2 were dominant in CAH (CAH: 27/35, LC. 8/23), and type 3 in LC (CAH: 8/35, LC: 15/23)(p<0.005). The grades of extrahepatic uptake were higher in LC than in CAH (spleen: p<0.001, other soft tissue: p<0.005). The early liver/heart uptake rate of CAH ($0.110{\pm}0.111$) was significantly higher than that of LC ($0.014{\pm}0.090$)(p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of the early liver/heart uptake rate were 77.7% and 67.7% in differentiating LC from CAH. There was negative correlation between early liver/heart uptake rate and shunt index (r=-0.3347, p<0.01). Conclusion: Hepatic and extrahepatic uptake pattern and early liver/heart uptake rate on T1-201 per rectum scintigraphy are useful in the assessment of portal systemic shunt in patients with chronic liver disease.

The kinematic variables for swimming and fin-swimming start motions were analyzed and compared using 3-dimensional cinematography. For the swimming start, the arm segment moved towards the upper rear and trunk towards the upper front followed by a descent towards the lower front, while the fin-swimming start motion showed movement towards the lower front for all segments. The total body center of gravity for the swimming start showed horizontal movement far to the front followed by a rapid descent while the fin-swimming start showed close movement towards the lower front in a short period of time. Upon entering the water, the center of gravity for swimming showed high vertical velocities while fin swimming had high horizontal velocities. For both swimming and fin swimming, the upper extremity velocity had more influence on the total center of gravity velocity than the lower extremities. Flexion of the hip joint was observed before the jump for the fin swimming start while the swimming start showed two flexions in mid-air succeeding the jump. The flexion and extension movements at the knee joint during the fin-swimming start motion were shown to be larger and more rapid than those of fin-swimming.

Transport properties of 2DEG at AlGaAs/GaAs interface such as average electron energy, flight distance, each valley occupancy ratio, average electron velocity for various fields are investigated by MONTE-CARLO method. As the electric field increases, more electrons transit drastically from (000) valley to (000) upper valley. This phenomenon shows the nonstationary effect such as velocity overshoot. The duration of the transient decreases from about 1.4 psec for electric field E = 7KV/cm to about 0.7 psec for 12KV/cm. The average electron velocity during transient transport in 2DEG is about 8 times the steady-state velocity for E = 12KV/cm at room temperature. In comparison with bulk GaAs the peak velocity in the 2DEG is higher than that in even pure bulk GaAs at electric field E = 7 KV/cm. On the basis of the fact that the electrons in the 2DEG have larger peak velocity and shorter transient time of velocity than those in the bulk GaAs, it is suggested that the device with 2DEG may obtain higher mobility than that with bulk GaAs.

Societal interest on a faster transportation demands an increase of the train speed exceeding current operation speed of 350 km/h. To trace the pattern of variations in displacements and subsoil stresses in the concrete slab track system, finite element simulations were conducted. For a simple track-vehicle modeling, a mass-point system representing the moving train load was developed. Dynamic responses with various train speeds from 100 to 700 km/h were investigated. As train speeds increase the displacement at rail and subsoil increases nonlinearly, whereas significant dynamic amplification at the critical velocity has not been found. At low train speed, the velocity of elastic wave carrying elastic energy is faster than the train speed. At high train speed exceeding 400 km/h, however, the train speed is approximately identical to the elastic wave velocity. Nonlinearity in the stress history in subsoil is amplified with increasing train speeds, which may cause significant plastic strains in path-dependent subsoil materials.

In order to determine the horizontal and vertical distributions of metals and prospect the recent metal pollution history in Nakdong Estuary, we took surface and core sediments. Maximum value of organic matter occurs at the upstream site located 4 km from Nakdong barrage, and the concentration of trace metals (Zn, Cu, and Pb etc.) decrease seaward in the estuary. The sedimentation rates, based on $^{210}$Pb$_{ex}$ and $^{137}$Cs activities, were 0.34 cm/yr in inside of barrage (core 1) and 0.25 cm/yr in Changrim (core 4). Sediment mixing layer does not exist in core 1, where anoxic condition is known to be prevail. The topmost sediment layer of core 4 (<3.5 cm) is severely mixed. At sites 1 and 4, concentrations of Cu slowly increased during the period of 1920-1970, rapidly increased during 1970-1990, and followed by slight decrease after 1990. Zn contents increased in early 1960s and peaked in 1993, and followed by decrease after 1990s. Pb has increased continuously since early 1970s. At the downstream of the barrage, Cu and Zn have increased in the topmost layer. The trend of increase of Cu is evident after 1950 (11 cm in sediment depth). Overall trend of heavy metal concentration clearly indicates the pollution has been increasing after the construction of the barrage.
