The purpose of this study is to analyze the body size and body characteristics of short-statured females in their 20s and 30s using direct measurement data from the 7th size Korea, and to analyze the differences in body dimensions and proportions between the regular and tall groups of short groups. The goal is to identify the dimension areas that need attention when designing and grading patterns for this short groups. As a result, it was found that the short group was shorter in height than the regular group, and the circumferential dimension was similar to the regular group. When designing patterns the tops, the grading of the Bust point-bust point is not necessary for the height, and it is not necessary to grade the Neck point to breast point in the short and regular group. These groups showed a difference in the front silhouette but not in the side silhouette. Based on these findings, the body types were classified into the following three types: 'most bulky and heavy', 'long lower body and small shoulder', and 'small and thin'. The type 1 population was the least distributed, and the relatively small and slim type was the most common. It is expected that the results of this study can be used as a reference when setting pattern designs, grading values, and production ratios by size for short women.

China shows body size differences owing to varied climates, economic development, living standards, and ethnic distribution from region to region. That's why some regional research regarding body sizes is necessary for the advancement of clothing goods into China. Here, the materials of the Chinese standard "GB/T 1335-1997 Clothing Sizes" are analyzed to reveal the somatotypes of Chinese adults. Height, chest girth and waist girth were differently noticed in six areas. 1. The distribution rates of four body types (Y, A, B, C) were diverse in six regions. 2. Regional differences were seen as follows: 1) As for the height of male adults, areas 1(Northeast, Hwabuk) and 2(Central Western) were larger than the national mean. Areas 3(Gwangdong, Gwangseo, Bokgeon), 4 (Unnam, Gwiju, Sacheon) and 5(Downstream Jang River) were rather small. 2) As for the height of female adults, areas 1, 2 and 6 (Midstream Jang River) were larger than the national mean. Areas 3 and 4 were smaller than the average. 3) As for the bust girth of male adults, area 1 was the only area that exceeded the national mean. Areas 3 and 4 turned out smaller than the average. 4) As for the bust girth of female adults, areas 1, 2 and 6 exceeded the national average. The other three areas were lower. 5) As to the waist girth of adult males, areas 1 and 2 exceeded the national average. The other four areas were lower. 6) As to the waist girth of adult females, areas 1, 2 and 6 exceeded the national average. Areas 4 and 5 were lower. 7) In the height, bust girth and waist girth of male and female adults, most regions showed differences in means, regional distribution and regional rates.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the direct measurement data of 40-59 year old middle-aged men from Size Korea's 7th anthropometric survey, and to identify the body shape characteristics and to type the body shape of middle-aged men. Through this, this study aimed to provide basic data necessary for the clothing patterns of middle-aged men with excellent fit. The data was SPSS Ver. 24.0 program analysis. Factors extracted six including body horizontal, vertical, shoulder, waist front length, leg thickness, and shoulder deflections. The body shape of middle-aged men was classified into three types. Type 1 had a thin body circumference, a narrow width, a low height, a short waist front length, and a thin ankle and calf. Type 2 had a high body height, a long waist front length, a normal circumference and width, a thick ankle, a calf, and a sagging shoulder. Type 3 had a large body circumference, a wide body, a wide shoulder, and a long waist front length. A prominent feature of the changes in body shape of middle-aged men is the increase in the circumference and thickness items due to abdominal protrusion and fat accumulation. Therefore, pattern design according to these physical characteristics is considered to be necessary.

This study attempted to typify the shoulder and arm morphology of adult males by analyzing the shoulder and arm-related items by obesity level for adult males aged 20 to 69 years. I also examined the typified shoulder and arm characteristics and attempted to analyze the types by obesity level for each age group. The shoulders and arms of adult males were categorized into four types: broad, drooping shoulders with thin, long arms; narrow, drooping shoulders with thick, long arms; broad, rising shoulders with short, thick arms; and narrow, rising shoulders with short, thin arms. The underweight group had a higher percentage of Type 1 in their 20s, 30s, and 60s, and a higher percentage of Type 4 in their 40s. The normal weight group was analyzed as having a higher percentage of type 1 in their 20s and 30s, and a higher percentage of type 4 in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. Obese group was analyzed as having a higher percentage of type 3 in their 20s, 30s, 40s, and a higher percentage of type 4 in their 50s and 60s.

전기적 에너지를 기계적 에너지로 변환하고 또한, 기계적 에너지를 전기적 에너지로 변환할 수 있는 압전 세라믹스는 압전 변압기 (piezoelectric transformer), 초음파 모터, 센서 등과 같은 응용분야에 광범위하게 사용되고 있다. 특히, 전원장치에 있어서 현재 주요 전자제품에 사용되고 있는 권선형 변압기와 같은 전자 변환기의 대체품으로 압전 세라믹스 소재의 특성을 이용한 압전변압기의 개발과 응용연구는 국내외적으로 활발히 연구되어왔다. 압전변압기는 권선형 변압기와 비교 하였을 때 누설자속이 없어 노이즈 발생이 없고, 공진주파수만을 이용하므로 출력의 파형이 정현파에 가까워 고조파 잡음이 없으며, 불연성의 특징을 가지고 있다. 추가적으로 압전 변압기는 소형화, 슬림화, 경량화가 가능하며 90%이상의 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 단판형 압전변압기의 출력한계를 개선하기 위해 높은 승압비와 고출력을 갖는 적층타입의 압전변압기가 제안되었다. 압전변압기용 조성 세라믹스는 높은 에너지 변환효율을 위해서 전기기계결합계수 ($k_p$)가 커야 하며, 발열에 의한 온도 상승을 억제하기 위하여 기계적 품질계수(Qm)가 큰 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 높은 전류를 발생하기 위해서는 유전상수가 커 압전변압기의 출력측 정전용량을 크게 하여야한다. 이러한 압전변압기의 제작 조건을 위해 우수한 압전 및 유전특성을 갖는 PZT계 세라믹스가 주로 사용 되어져 왔다. 그러나, PZT계 세라믹스의 우수한 압전 및 유전특성에도 불구하고 $1000^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 휘발하는 PbO의 성질 때문에 환경적으로나 인체의 건강문제로 인해 전세계적으로 그 사용량을 제한하고 있다. 또한 적층 압전변압기의 구조적 특성상 내부전극과 함께 소결하여야 하는데, 이때 소결온도가 높으면 값비싼 Pd합량이 높은 전극을 사용하여야 한다. Pd함량이 10%미만인 Ag/Pd 전극을 사용하기 위해서는 $950^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 저온소결이 가능한 세라믹스 제조가 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 소결온도를 낮추는 방법으로는 다른 물질들을 치환하여 소결온도를 낮추는 방법과 미세분말을 만들어 그레인사이즈를 미세화 하는 방법들이 있다. 많은 미세 분말 제조 방법 중에서 Attrition mill은 일반적인 ball mill에 비해 분말의 입도를 미세하게 할 수 있어 증가된 분말의 비표면적에 의하여 반응을 촉진시킴으로써 저온소결이 가능한 세라믹스를 만들 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소결온도가 낮으면서도 유전 및 압전특성이 우수한 조성을 사용하여 적층 압전변압기를 제작하여 전기적 특성을 조사하였다.

The health of feet is connected with individual's health and affects a man's activity. Shoes need to be designed to protect feet and to absorb the impact of land. Thus, design, comfort and economical efficiency are important factors of shoes. Consumers can choose suitable shoes for their feet in off-line shopping. However, in on-line shopping, because they can not wear shoes, compare to the off-line shopping, there are many problems in internet shopping. First, consumers can get limited information of shoes because they must search information of purchase without other's help. Second, because consumers can not get important information such as design, size and a comfort of wearing, they can not make a careful decision. Above these, the solution of user-oriented internet shopping is development of new type of prototype which is accessible to user and to offer visual information through 3D virtual reality.

Plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (PELNs) are known to include various biological activities and possess high biocompatibility. Because PELNs can influence immune responses, cell differentiation, and proliferation regulation, they can be applied in multiple industries. However, the studies on the skin physiological of exosome-like nanovesicles derived from plant callus are insignificant compared to nanovesicles derived from mammalian cells. In this study, callus was induced from apple fruit (Malus domestica), and exosome-like nanovesicles (ACELNs) were isolated for improving skin barrier and anti-aging. The yield of ACELNs was 6.42 × 10⁹ particles/mL, and the particle size was ranged from 100 to 200 nm. HDF cells and HaCaT cells were concentration-dependent, increased in cell, and decreased in cytotoxicity. The cornified envelope formation was significantly increased compared to the control group. The COL1A1 expression and the FBN1 expression in HDF cells were increased. In addition, the ACELNs promoted collagen biosynthesis in UVA-irradiated HDF cells. These results might be considered as potential materials that could improve skin barrier and prevent skin aging.

This study was conducted to create a technology to remove acne bacteria with human-friendly materials. First, the Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) were adsorbed to the mica disc to grow, and then the biofilm was checked through an atomic microscope to see if the biofilm had grown. Based on the topographic image, the shape changed round, the size was 17% longer on average, and the phase value of the resonance frequency separating materials was observed as a single value, the biofilm grown by covering the extracellular polymeric substrate (EPS). As a result of processing 50 mM of amino acids in the matured biofilm, the concentration of C. acnes decreased when valine, serine, arginine and leucine were treated. Scanning with nanoindentation and AFM contact modes confirmed that the hardness of biofilms treated with Valine (Val) increased. This indicates that an AFM tip measured cell which may have more solidity than that of EPS. The experiment of fluorescent tagged to EPS displays an existence of EPS at the condition of 10 mM Val, but an inhibition of growth of EPS at the 50 mM Val. Number of C. acnes was also reduced above 10 mM of Val. Weak adhesion of biofilm generated from an inhibition of EPS formation seems to induce decrease of C. acnes. Accordingly, we elucidated that Val has an efficiency which eliminates C. acnes by approach of an inhibition of EPS.
