Erosion is believed to be the predominant cause of teeth wear in children and young adults, although there will at ways be a contribution from attrition and abrasion. The pH of cola is known to be low and have, therefore, been implicated in the increasing incidence of erosion. The aim of present study was to evaluate the effect of cola on the progression of erosive demineralization in human enamel using demineralization model in vitro. Six groups of human enamel slap were immersed(5 min each bath) in fresh cola, with immersions taking place with or without agitation, and under 3 regimes of frequency intake(low intake, 1 immersion/day; medium, 5/day; high, 10/day). Quantitative assessments of surface erosion were done over an 8-day interval using surface microhardness testing. 1. The average pH of cola was 2.5, which was acidic enough to cause tooth erosion. 2. All the enamel specimen exposed to cola showed erosion like lesions and surface hardness decreased in proportion to the length of immersion (p<0.05). 3. The surface hardness of enamel decreased in proportion to the frequency of immersion (p<0.05). 4. Increased degassing from the drink by gitation accelerated the enamel softening compared with those without agitation.

When a military vehicle is driven on a cross-country road, the occupants are exposed to vibration at a body resonance. In case that the exposure continues for too long period, the attention ability of the occupant could be affected by the vibration exposure. In the study, it was experimentally tried to find if there is a correlation between degradation of attention and vibration exposure. Two kinds of test among various psychological attention tests were employed, which were selected with considering a situation of carrying out military mission on vehicle. At the result, the searching test for controlled attention showed significant degradation in the accuracy and performance time in case of exposure at the vibration. And the attention degradation appeared to be greater when the vibration exposure increases. The dual task test for divided attention showed the difference between vibration and non-vibration condition, but showed it is insignificant for the attention to degrade by increasing exposure time.

This article on environmental noise qualify is concerned with the relationships between the annoyance and perception and sound quality metrics according to exposition time for traffic noise. For invested the characteristics of noise quality, we conducted to the subjective experiments of the annoyance response using the absolute 100 scaling method for the traffic noise sources. The traffic noise sources are composed to varieties exposition time from 15sec to 1200sec. As the results, the first there are decreased the perception loud level for the increase of exposition time with logarithm scale, but increased the annoyance. Second, evaluation index of annoyance is correlated to the loudness(sones), tonality and logarithm scale time with R2=0.83. Also, the composition ratio of traffic noise according to exposition time has the change of range as the logarithm scale ($30{\sim}50%$), tonality($27{\sim}37%$) and loudness($34{\sim}20%$).

Expecting fatigue life of mounted radar in aircraft is very important when designing, because the mounted radar in aircraft is exposed to long-term external random vibration. Among the methods of predicting the fatigue life, Fatigue analysis method in frequency domain has continuously been proposed in this field. In this paper, four fatigue analysis methods in frequency domain, which are widely used, have been selected and compared with the results for Specimen fatigue test. As a result, Dirlik and Benascicutti-Tovo methods have been matched better with fatigue analysis in time domain than the method in frequency method through the comparison between the fatigue analysis method in time domain and the method in frequency domain by conducting the specimen fatigue test with strain gage. Based on the results of the specimen fatigue test, We have conducted fatigue analysis of mounted radar in aircraft with Dirlik and Benasciutti-Tovo methods in the finite element model, and confirmed that the required life was satisfying.

This study used Korean work environment surveys data to confirm the relationship between exposure to harmful and risk factors and absenteeism of manufacturing workers according to the survey period. Accordingly, 8,318 workers in the manufacturing industry were analyzed for the same questions of harmful and risk factors in 2011 (3rd), 2017 (5th), and 2020 (6th). Work-related hazards and risks, vibration, noise, high temperature, dust inhalation, vapor inhalation, chemical handling, and infectious material handling were found to affect absenteeism more than 3/4 of the time of exposure in 2020 compared to 2011. In conclusion, it was found that non-exposure to work-related hazards and risk factors increased one survey after another, and that the time of exposure to work-related hazards and risk factors affected absenteeism.

In this paper, dynamic modeling with viscoelastic properties of a human body resting on a seat is presented to quantitatively analyze ride quality of passengers exposed to vertical vibrations. In describing the motions of a seated body, a 5 degree-of-freedom multibody model from the literature is investigated. The viscoelastic characteristics of seats used in railway vehicles are mathematically formulated with nonlinear stiffness characteristics and convolution integrals representing time delay terms. Transfer functions for the floor input are investigated and it is found that these are different in accordance with the input magnitude due to nonlinear characteristics of the seat. Measured floor input at the railway vehicle is used to analyze realistic human vibration characteristics. Frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are calculated and the effects of the seat design parameters on the frequency weighted RMS acceleration values are presented.

Evaluation on the environmental noise is carried out by surveying subjective response of residents with physical measurement of noise during long period in field. Particularly field survey is used to make regulations from the analysis on how many people are annoyed for specific noise level, and laboratory test used to analyze the relationship between physical parameters of noise and subjective responses. In the laboratory controlling the variables is easy but the results could be biased because the condition in room would be different with field. Most of all noise exposure time is considered to be different with real situation, and this study aimed to evaluate the subjective response by exposure time of transportation noise, by applying three kinds of variable how much they give effects on the annoyance as the exposure time is operating condition, windows type and sound level. As a result there was somewhat difference between operating type and annoyance, which is caused by the sound characteristics operated in different condition. However the window type didn't give much effect to the annoyance as much as sound type. This means that the subjective response could give similar result by exposure time even for different window types. Most of all, the main factor affecting subjective response is considered to be the sound level and the exposure time.

A study has been conducted to investigate the subjective responses of loudness and annoyance according to the exposed time of urban traffic noise in controlled laboratory environment. To make a closer inspection into psychological response relevant to noise characteristics while varying the time of exposure to noise, the subjects were presented a set of noises with different exposed time and requested to judge spontaneously on a 100-unipolar scale. To be concrete, the subjects were exposed to noises being varied in time from 15 sec up to max. 1,200 sec for the controlled traffic noise sources. So far achieved from laborious tests, it has an importance being on the logarithmic relations of perceived loudness and exposed time, say, it is more increased the perceived loudness in the sorter exposed time than in the longer exposed time. However, the trend is said to be not effective for the case of annoyance. On the other hand, the subjective impressions on relative annoyance of noise is shown to be correlated with the noise characteristics such as loudness (sones), tonality and time with logarithmic scale, the product correlation moment being calculated as $R^{2}=0.99$. The variances to be explained for annoyance assessments through varying the time of exposure were ranged between 30 % and 50% for the exposed time, $27{\sim}37%$ for tonality, and $34{\sim}20%$ for loudness, respectively With these results, hopefully, it can be helpful for those who want to work out an experimental design for evaluating an environmental noise or to quantify any psychological dimensions found in annoyance assessments.
