Recently, interest in safety has been increasing in every area, especially in the field of transportation. The accurate evaluation of the stability of road facilities is needed to improve the level of safety in the field of transportation and the application of new technologies is required to reduce the number of natural disasters. In this study, the wind data were compared and analyzed according to the type of measurement, and an evaluation of the stability of road signs using the wind data was conducted. In addition, a stability plan to secure road signs was elaborated and its effect on the wind load was analyzed. It was found that the wind data measured by a mobile atmospheric observing system (MAOS) was 2.43 times bigger than that measured by the Korea meteorological administration (KMA) and road weather information system (RWIS). In terms of their stability, the road signs were susceptible to failure caused by gusty winds and it was found necessary to ensure their stability. In the future, it will be possible to evaluate the stability of road facilities using road line weather data and the application of wind load reduction technologies is expected to improve road safety.

A computationally efficient inversion scheme has been developed using the extended Born or localized nonlinear approximation to analyze electromagnetic fields obtained in a single-hole environment. The medium is assumed to be cylindrically symmetric about the borehole, and to maintain the symmetry vertical magnetic dipole source is used throughout. The efficiency and robustness of an inversion scheme is very much dependent on the proper use of Lagrange multiplier, which is often provided manually to achieve desired convergence. In this study, an automatic Lagrange multiplier selection scheme has been developed to enhance the utility of the inversion scheme in handling field data. The inversion scheme has been tested using synthetic data to show its stability and effectiveness.

본 연구에서는 VSV-G(vesicular stomatitis virus G glycoprotein)로 포장된 MoMLV(Moloney murine leukemia virus) retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 GFP가 발현되는 형질전환 닭을 생산하고자 하였다. GFP 유전자를 retroviral vector 내의 RSV(Rous sarcoma virus) promoter의 조절 하에 도입한 후, Gp293 세포주에서 virus 형태로 생산하였으며, 이 virus를 초원심분리로 고농축하여 stage X 계란의 배 반엽 층에 주입하여 GFP가 발현되는 형질전환 닭을 생산하였다. 생산된 닭에서의 GFP의 발현은 epifluorescence stereomicroscope를 이용하여 확인하였다. 이 방법은 기존의 여러 형질전환 가금 방법에 비하여 기술적인 용이성과 경제성을 가지므로(Muramatsu, Park and Okumura 1998), 매우 효율적이고 주목할 만한 형질전환 가금 생산 방법으로 사료된다. 형질전환 가금의 생산에서 retrovirus vector를 이용하는 방법은 다양한 종류의 표적세포에 대하여 retrovirus 고유의 감염성에 의한 외래 유전자의 전이가 용이하고, 전이된 유전자가 진정염색질 영역 내로 선택적으로 도입될 수 있으며 유전적으로 안정성을 나타내므로 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나 가금에서는 초기 배 발달에 의한 급격한 세포의 수적 증가로 인해 고감염성 virus의 획득이 요구되므로, 본 연구에서는 virus의 농축에 있어 보다 안정적이고 숙주 범위에 있어서 pantropic한 VSV-G에 기반을 둔 retrovirus vector system을 확립하였다. 이 system은 기존의 형질전환 닭의 생산방법에 비해 외래 유전자의 전이에 있어서 매우 효과적인 것으로 확인되었으며, 또한 여러 유용한 생리활성물질을 분비하는 형질전환 동물의 생산에 있어서 상당한 기여를 할 것으로 사료된다.

Tetrakis-Diethylamido-Titanium(TDAET) 기체를 이용한 TiN 박막의 막질, 성장률, 및 도포성에 운반기체(N2, He)가 미치는 효과에 관한 조사를 하였다. TiN 박막의 막질과 성장속도는 운반기체에 의해 상당히 많은 영향을 받고 있으며, He 운반기체를 사용하였을 때 성장속도는 낮으나 낮은 비저항(-2500$\mu$$\Omega$-cm)과 낮은 산소 함량을 갖는 박막을 얻을 수 있었다. He 운반기체를 이용하여 증착된 TiN 박막은 대기 중에 노출시켰을 때 비저항이 더 이상 증가하지 않는 안정된 박막 특성을 보이고 있었다. 이와는 대조적으로, N2 운반기체에 따라 다르게 나타나는 막질의 안정성은 막 중에 함유된 산소량에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다. 또한 TDEAT 단일 증칙원 공정에서의 도포성은 aspect ratio가 2.0인 접촉창에서 18-65%인 값을 얻을수 있었고, He 운반기체의 경우항상된 도포성이 얻어졌다.

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive has been made utilizing organic solvents, but nowadays it is made by solvent-free system due to environmental problems. In this study, emulsion polymerization were carried out at $40^{\circ}C$ with methacrylic acid(MAA), n-butyl acrylate(n-BA) and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2-EHA) as monomers in the presence of anionic(sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) and nonionic(ethylene oxide types) surfactant mixtures. The overall conversion of the polymerization reaction in a mixed surfactant system was found to be higher than that in a single surfactant system. Emulsion stability in mixed or anionic surfactant systems was found to be over 12 week, which was better than that in nonionic surfactant system. Emulsion particle size decreased as surfactant content increased. The Tg and molecular weight of emulsion polymer were inependent of the type, the amount and the mixing ratio of surfactant. Based on the results of stability and peel strength, the optimum nonionic surfactant ratio in total 4 g of surfactant mixture systems is found to be 40~60% by weight where the nonionic surfactant has 50 ethylene oxide groups and 16~18 carbon atoms in hydrophobic alkyl chain.

Traffic congestion in existing tunnels has increased due to increased traffic volume and enlarged vehicles. Enlarging existing tunnels has advantages over constructing new tunnels by reducing land purchasing costs as well as minimizing natural environment destruction. In fact, many overseas projects for enlarging existing tunnels have been reported. Thus, it appears that the demand on enlarging existing tunnels continues to rise in Korea in near future. Nonetheless, the studies related to the enlarged tunnels have been relatively rare since there have been few tunnel enlargement projects in Korea. In the present study, the tunnel behavior and the stability of rock pillar when enlarging existing parallel tunnels were investigated by performing FE analysis and using existing theory and empirical relationships. Four different enlarging cases, depending on the enlargement types and directions, were examined in the study. According to the results, for the tunnels with the same pillar width after enlarged, the uni-laterally enlarged tunnel indicated 5 to 20% higher crown settlement compared to the bi-laterally enlarged tunnel, and for the tunnel with the narrowest pillar, the highest shotcrete stress was observed. Also, the strength/stress ratio for rock pillar was more than 1.0 for all four enlargement cases, and the Matsuda's method was found to give higher strength/stress ratio by about 50% compared to the Peck's method.

An undisturbed healing process without micromotion at the implant-bone interface is essential for achievement of osseointegration of dental implant. Therefore, initial stability was advocated as prerequisite for successful clinical outcome. Adequate bone quality and quantity were important to achieve initial stability and to prevent early failures. However there were few published data available regarding the effect of design change in implant geometry on initial stability of the implants. The purpose of the current study was to assess the initial stability of various designs of implants when placed into artificial bone materials of varying qualities and shapes of insertion holes. Within the scope of this study, the following results were drawn. Bone quality was major importance to achieve initial stability. Initial stability was higher on GS II which had additional design feature of double thread. With a tapered design of implant such as GS III showed a higher initial stability than straight one. An insertion hole with the similar shape of implant would lead to reduce a compression force on cortical bone and enhance a bone anchorage on cancellous bone.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the local stability of the lower extremity joints and muscle activation patterns of the lower extremity during walking between falling and non-falling group in the elderly women. Method: Forty women, heel strikers, were recruited for this study. Twenty subjects (age:72.55±5.42yrs; height:154.40±4.26cm; mass:57.40±6.21kg; preference walking speed:0.52±0.17m/s; fall frequency=1.70±1.26 times) had a history falls(fall group) within two years and Twenty subjects (71.90±2..90yrs; height:155.28±4.73cm; mass:56.70±5.241kg; preference walking speed: 0.56±0.13m/s) had no history falls(non-fall group). While they were walking on a instrumented treadmill at their preference speed for a long while, kinematic and EMG signals were obtained using 3-D motion capture and wireless EMG electrodes, respectively. Local stability of the ankle and knee joint were calculated using Lyapunov Exponent (LyE) and muscles activation and their co-contraction index were also quantified. Hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitey. Spearman rank was also used to determine the correlation coefficients between variables. Level of significance was set at p<.05. Results: Local stability in the knee joint adduction-abduction was significantly greater in fall group than non-fall group(p<.05). Activation of anterior tibials that acts on the foot segment dorsal flexion was greater in non-fall group than fall group(p<.05). CI between gastrocnemius and anterior tibials was found to be significantly different between two groups(p<.05). In addition, there was significant correlation between CI of the leg and LyE of the ankle joint flexion-extention in the fall group(p<.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, muscles that act on the knee joint abduction-adduction as well as gastrocnemius and anterior tibials that act on the ankle joint flexion-extention need to be strengthened to prevent from potential fall during walking.

In this study, hydraulic model tests were performed to investigate the stability of armor units at harbor side slope for rubble mound structures. The Korean design standard for harbor and fishery port suggested the design figures that showed the ratio of the armor weight for each location of rubble mound structures and it could be known that the same weight ratio was needed to the sea side and harbor side (within 0.5H from the minimum design water level) slope of rubble mound structures. The super structures were commonly applied to the design process of rubble mound structures in Korea and the investigation of the effects of super structures would be needed. The stability number (N_od = 0.5) was applied (van der Meer, 1999) and it showed that the armor (tetrapod) weight ratio for harbor side slope of rubble mound structures needed 0.8 times of that for sea side slope.
