Boom sprayers have been known by their excellency in field efficiency worker’s safety and pest control efficacy. The boom sprayer in Korea that was developed for paddy field is not suitable for upland field of which shape is irregular and inclination is steep, due to heavy chemical tank long boom width and manual on-off control of spraying. The goal of the study was to develope a boom control system that could control boom angles of left and right boom automatically and independently corresponding to local field slope. The prime mover was selected as a cultivating tractor. Main results of this study were as follows. 1. Ultrasonic sensor whose response time was 0.1s and response angle was within $\pm$20$^{\circ}$was selected to measure distance. Voltage output of the sensor(X, Volt) had a highly significant linear relationship with the vertical distance between the sensor and ground surface(Y, mm) as follows; Y=0.0036X-0.437 2. Left and right section of the boom could be folded up by a position control device(on-off control) which could control the left and right boom independently corresponding to local slope by equalizing distances between the sensor and boom at the center and left/right boom. Most reliable DB(dead band) was experimentally selected to be 75$\Omega$(6cm). 3. At traveling velocity of 0.3~0.5m/s RMS of error between desired and achieved height was less than 4.5cm The developed boom angle controller and boom linkage system were evaluated to be successful in achieving the height control accuracy target of $\pm$10cm.

An advanced method of Relaxed Static Stability (RSS) is utilized for improving the aerodynamic performance of modern version supersonic jet fighter aircraft. The flight control system utilizes RSS criteria in longitudinal axis to achieve performance enhancements and improve stability. The flight control law of T-50 advanced trainer employs RSS concept in order to improve the aerodynamic performance and guarantee aircraft stability. The longitudinal center of gravity(X-c.g) varies as a function of external stores, fuel state and gear position. Shifts in X-c.g relate directly to longitudinal static margin in aircraft stability. This paper deals the maximum aft X-c.g for critical aircraft loadings and checks static margin limits using sensitivity such as damping, natural frequency, gain and phase margin. And nonlinear analysis was conducted for such as short period input. And also, this paper shows the T-50 aircraft stability based on the result of high angle of attack flight such as upright and inverted departure.

To simulate space thermal environment in thermal vacuum test, direct or in-direct heater has been applied on the radiator. Both of them, direct heater attached on the radiator and indirect heater with a distance from the radiator, simulate the heat fluxes from the Sun radiation, the Earth IR and Albedo. They also supply the heat fluxes to the radiator of spacecraft to achieve the target temperature according to thermal test conditions. In general, indirect heater is used when the heater is not allowed to attach on the radiator directly due to constraints of coating property or contamination. For in-direct heater design, it is needed to estimate the heat power to make the extreme test conditions and minimize the interference with heat exchange of radiator and shroud. In this study, optimized thermal design of in-direct heater is proposed and investigated by commercial S/W SINDA. The effective values of design factors are also derived.

It is generally important to get a precise position information for autonomous unmanned vehicle(AUV) to run safely. For getting the position of AUV, the GPS has been using to navigation in a vehicle. Though it is useful to finding a position, it is difficult to precisely control a trajectory of the AUV due to large measuring error which may reach over 10 meters. Therefore to apply AUV it needs to compensate for the error. This paper proposes a method to more precisely localize AUV using three low-cost differential global positioning systems (DGPS). The distance errors between each DGPS are minimized as using the least square method (LSM) and the Kalman filter to eliminate a Gaussian white noise. The selected DGPS is cheaper and easier to set up than the RTK-GPS. It is also more precise than the general GPS. The proposed method can compensate the relatively position error according to stationary and moving distance of the AUV. For evaluating the algorithm by simulation, the DGPS signal with the Gaussian white noise to any points is generated by the AR model and compared with the measurement signal. It is confirmed that the proposed method can effectively compensate the position error as comparing with the measurement signal. The compensated position signal can be used to localize and control the AUV in the road.

ACR phantom for quality control of magnetic resonance imaging equipment can evaluate magnetic resonance imaging picture quality through various structures within the phantom. In this study, percent Signal Ghosting and Slice position accuracy of imaging could be analyzed by attaching implant and the wire for correction of tooth using ACR phantom in Head coil of 3.0T equipment. In the T1 weighted imaging of the first slice and the eleventh slice of implant, the slice position accuracy appeared to be good in ingress bandwidth 300, and it was good in ingress bandwidth 130 when wire for correction was attached. Percent Signal Ghosting in the seventh slice of SE T1 weighted imaging, implant and wire for correction added all appeared to be good when ingress bandwidth was 230. It is thought that in case of implant dental prosthesis patients in brain exam using magnetic resonance imaging, optimum image can be obtained by changing ingress bandwidth.

Nitrogen oxides ($NO_x$) are air pollutants which are generated from the combustion of fossil fuels. Stage combustion is an effective method to reduce $NO_x$ emissions. The effects of $NO_x$ reduction by stage combustion in a pilot scale combustor(6.6kW) have been investigated using propane gas flames laden with NH$_{3}$ as Fuel-N. The results in this study are follows; (1) $NO_x$ emissions are dependent on the reducing environment of fuel-rich zone regardless of total air ratio. The maximum $NO_x$ reduction is at the stoichiometric ratio of 0.8 to 0.9 in the reducing zone. (2) $NO_x$ reduction is maximum when burnout air is injected at the point where the oxygen in reducing zone is almost consumed. (3) $NO_x$ reduction is dependent upon the temperature of reducing zone with best effect above 950.deg. C in the reducing zone. (4) The fuel stage combustion is more effective to reduce $NO_x$ formation in the wide range of stoichiometric ratio than two stage combustion. (5) The results of this study could be utilized mainly in a design strategy for low $NO_x$ emission from the combustion of high fuel-nitrogen in energy sources ratio than as an indication of the absolute levels of $NO_x$ which can be achieved by stage combustion techniques in large scale facilities.

본 연구에서는 생체 뇌 국소부위의 세포외액을 대상으로 실험할 수 있는 뇌 미세투석법을 이용하여 후시상하부에서 유리되는 monoamine의 세포외액 농도에 대한 전신 혈압변화의 영향을 관찰함으로써, 심혈관 조절에 대한 후시상하부의 monoamine성 뉴론의 생리적 역할을 규명하고자 하였다. 마취한 흰쥐의 머리를 뇌정위 고정장치에 고정시키고 미세투석관 (microdialysis probe)을 후시상하부에 위치시킨 후 링거액으로 관류하였다. 미세투석액내에 존재하는 monoamine성 신경 전달물질들과 그 대사체들의 정량분석은 고속액체크로마토그라피와 전기화학검출기를 이용하여 실시하였다. 전신 혈압을 40분 동안 약 40mmHg 상승 혹은 30mmHg 감소시키기 위하여 L-phenylephrine hydrochloride (800ng/100 g/min) 혹은 nitroprusside dihydrate (500 ng/100 g/min)를 대퇴정맥을 통하여 주사하였다. 후시상하부로 부터 20분 간격으로 얻은 투석액에서 신정화학물질들의 농도는 미세투석관 삽입후 2시간에 안정되었다. 관류액의 $K^{＋}$ 농도를 90 mM로 증가시켰을 때 후시상하부의 투석액에서 norepinephrine (NE) 과 serotonin (5-HT)의 농도는 각각 기준치의 176.5 $\pm$ 14.8%, 149.1 $\pm$ 2.3%로 증가하였다. Phenylephrine (i.v.)으로 유발된 전신 혈압상승에 의하여 NE과 5-HT의 양은 각각 기준치의 79.3 $\pm$ 4.4%, 61.4 $\pm$ 10.3%로 유의하게 감소하였다. 또한 nitroprusside (i.v.)에 의하여 전신혈압이 감소하였을 때 투석액내 5-HT의 양은 기준치의 195.0 $\pm$ 23.0% 로 유의하게 증가하였다. 후시상하부의 투석액내 monoamine성 대사체들의 경우에는 전신 혈압의 변화에 대한 유의한 반응을 나타내지 않았다. 이상을 종합하면 전신 혈압이 증가되었을 때는 말초 압수용체의 흥분에서 기시한 신경충동이 후시상하부에 전달되어 신경말단에서 5-HT 과 NE 의 유리가 감소되고, 5-HT의 경우에는 전신 혈압이 감소되었을때 그 반대 현상이 일어난다는 가설을 제시할 수 있다. 본 연구의 결과는 생체상태에서 혈압변화에 대한 후시상하부의 monoamine성 조절양상을 규명한 것으로서 특히 후시상하부의 serotonin성 신경계를 통한 심혈관 중추조절의 가능성을 처음으로 제시한 것이다.

Current discriminating technique of rice variety is known to be not objective till this time because of depending on naked eye of well trained inspector. DNA finger print method based on genetic character of rice has been indicated inappropriate for on-site application, because the method need much labor and skilled expert. The purpose of this study was to develops the identification technique of polished rice varieties using CCD camera images. To minimize the noise of the captured image, thresholding and median filtering were carried out, and edge was extracted from the image data. Image data after pretreatment of normalize and FFT(fast fourier transform) were used for library model and feedforward backpropagation neural network model. Image processing technique using CCD camera could discriminate the variety of rice with high accuracy in case of quite different rice of shape, but the accuracy was reached at 85% in the similar shape of rice.

본 연구에서는 기존 교육시설에 설치된 알루미늄 합금 창의 2차원 정상상태 전열해석을 통한 열성능 평가를 수행하였다. 교육시설의 주요 창호재료로 적용된 알루미늄은 열전도율이 $175 \;Kcal/m^2h^{\circ}C$ 정도로 플라스틱 소재와 비교하여 매우 불리하여 기존 시설에 설치된 알루미늄 창호는 열손실의 주요인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점에 착안하여 충남 서산지방에 위치한 대학건물의 알루미늄 합금 창호의 열성능 평가에 관한 연구를 수행하여 다음과 같은 해석 결과를 도출하였다. (1) 2차원 정상상태 전열해석을 위한 경계조건은 국토해양부고시 건축물의 에너지절약설계기준의 [별표 6] 중부지방 냉난방장치의 용량계산을 위한 설계 외기온 기준과 [별표 7]의 실내온도 기준을 적용하여 여름철 실내 $27^{\circ}C$, 실외 $31.3^{\circ}C$, 겨울철 실내 $21.0^{\circ}C$, 실외 $-9.6^{\circ}C$ 로 설정하고 해석한 결과 열관류율은 알루미늄 합금 창호는 $U=9.631 \;W/m^2K$, 복층유리 $U= 2.382 \;W/m^2K$로 여름철과 겨울철 동일한 해석결과치가 산출되었다. (2) 산출된 열관류율 해석결과를 건축물의 에너지절약설계기준 [별표 3] 열교차단재가 적용되지 않은 금속제 창의 단열성능 중 일반복층창 성능기준인 $4.0 \;W/m^2K$와 비교할 때, 알루미늄 창틀을 통하여 225%의 열량이 손실됨을 보여 주고 있다.
