The purpose of this study was to look into changes in voice using acoustic analysis during the process of neuromuscular electrical stimulation targeting dysphagia treatment. Fifteen man with dysphagia caused by stroke was treated neuromuscular electrical stimulation for two months and intensity of voice, $F_0$, Jitter, Shimmer, NNE were measured. The results of this study that improvement in functions of dysphagia and Jitter, Shimmer were stabilized. But there was not significantly changes of $F_0$. NNE was improved after the intervention, but still showed abnormal levels. This result suggests a possibility of effects that Neuromuscular electrical stimulation has on stabilization of Jitter, Shimmer and intensity of voice.

삶의 지표가 상승함에 따라 선진국에서는 건강에 대한 관심도가 높아져 질병이 발생되기 전에 조기에 진단하여 예방하는 건강 패턴이 행해지고 있는 실정이다. 이와 같은 예방 분야를 반영한 것이 대체의학이며 이침 요법은 부작용이 적은 방법으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이침 요법은 교육과정을 거친 후 자가 진단을 통해 응급처지가 가능한 것으로 실생활에서 손쉽게 이용되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 신장에 해당하는 이(耳)혈 상응점을 자극하여 신장과 관련된 음성 요소의 변화를 측정하였다. 이를 위해 신장 이혈 상응점을 자극하기 전과 후의 음성을 수집하여 음성 분석 요소 중 제 1 Formant Bandwidth와 Jitter, Shimmer값을 적용하여 비교, 분석하였다. 결과적으로 신장 이혈 상응점 자극에 의해 성대 진동의 변화율이 낮아져 발음의 정확성을 나타내는 결론을 도출하였다.

This research was to investigate the effect of fatigue reduction and heart rate recovery (HRR) according to whole body vibration (WBV). 20 healthy participants were recruited and divided into vibration group (VG) and none vibration group (NVG). VG was group with provided vibration and NVG was group without vibration. They exercised slope gait with 8.5 degree and 4km/h during 30min. They rested on the chair type vibrator during 30min. The vibration consists of 10hz as frequency and 5mm as amplitude. We measured the lactate in the blood and HRR before, immediately after exercise and after rest session. The results showed that lactate level in VG the more decreased at 95.2%. The result of HRR was similar including recovery at 50.67% in VG. The WBV with stimulated vessel in muscle assisted the recovery function by reducing the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) quickly and improving blood circulation. The rest with WBV could provide efficient cool-down exercise for elderly and women without other physical activities after exercise.

화학 결합을 이해하는 중요한 방법 중 하나는 결합이 가지는 고유한 진동 모드를 분석하는 것이다. 진동 모드의 변화를 관측함으로써 다양한 외부 자극과 분자의 상호작용에 대한 연구도 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전기장이 가해진 물 분자의 진동 모드 변화를 분석함으로써 전기장과 물분자의 상호작용이 화학 결합에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 물 분자의 특정 O-H 결합 방향으로 전기장을 걸어주었을 때 신축 진동수의 변화를 살펴봄으로써 결합의 변화를 분석했다. 전기장에 따른 결합의 진동수 변화를 vibrational Stark effect (VSE)라 하고 그 정도를 Stark tuning rate ${\Delta}{\mu}$ ($={\Delta}v/{\Delta}E$, ${\Delta}v$ :진동수의 변화, ${\Delta}E$: 전기장의 변화)로 정의한다. 이때 Stark tuning rate에 영향을 미치는 요소는 전기장에 의한 (1) 분자 구조 변화(geometric effect)와 (2) 전자 구조의 분극현상(polarization effect)으로 나누어 생각해 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서 물 단일체, 이중체, 사중체의 O-H 결합에 대해 살펴본 결과, VSE 효과에 주로 영향을 미치는 것은 전기장에 의한 구조 변화인 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 전기장이 주는 전자 구조 분극 효과는 크지 않지만 이를 통해 유발되는 구조 변화에 의해 진동수 (또는 화학 결합의 세기)가 크게 변한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 그렇기 때문에 수소 결합 안정화로 인해 구조 변화가 쉬운 물 이중체, 사중체에서 VSE 효과가 크게 나타났다. 추가적으로 물 클러스터에서 형성되는 내부 전기장과 O-H 결합의 포텐셜 비조화성(anharmonicity)이 VSE에 주는 영향에 대한 연구도 수행하였다.

In this paper, the functional propertied of vibrotactile sense of skin were studied by means of psycophysical experiments with respect to frequency and waveform of mechanical vibration, two-point threshold, contactor size of stimulators. Furthermore, leased on the experimental result, a small vibrotactile stimulator made of piezoelectrc ireed vibrator array was proposed for a aid blind to recognition of the Korean letters. A tactile output image is presented by an 8 row$\times$1 column array of samall vibrator reeds with 200 Hz rectangular wave, the array fitting on a fore-finger. Under the control of the NOVA mini-computer, the bimorph reeds array could represent any of one of the 24 characters of the Korean vowel and consonant at the 8 positions from left to right on the array. Without learning effect, the identification test of the Korean characters by the designed experimental system was carried out. The average rate of correct response was 90%.

This paper describes the relationship between the behavior of the snakehead ( Channa arps) of 44cm long and the environmental noise levels due to the piling work. The experiment is conducted in the aquafarm located near Asan lake, Pyongtaek in 1993. The fish trajectory is obtained by a biotelemetry system in which a pulsed ultrasonic pinger attached onto the dorsal is tracked three dimensionally, and the noise and the vibration levels both in air and in water are measured. The results of this study are as follows: 1) The noise levels in water and in air and the vibration level measured at a distance of 90m from the noise source, increased by 36.5dB $(re\;l{\mu}Pa)$, 2308$(re\;0.0002{\mu}bar)$ and $5.9{\mu}m$ repectively compared to the levers before piling. 2) The highest variation of the swimming speed was observed right after the piling works and the width of variation decreased with the elapsed time. The average speeds of the fish before and during the works were measured as 0.8 times and 1.1 times of the body length, respectively. 3) It is found that the fish escapes into the mud of the aquafarm when a heavy shock wave occurred. Consequently, the heavy shock by the piling works could produce a considerably unfavorable effect to the fish.

Fruitful findings have been produced from five out of sixty cells which were obtained from each 63 individual Aplisia caught at the Jeju coast. Spiking patterns of three out of five cells, such as relaxation oscillator, bursting within a short time of the inter-burst interval, chaotic bursting, period doubling sequences, bursting with long trains of action potentials separated by short silent periods, regular repeated beating or elliptic bursting, and silent states had been changed in order as the temperature was lowered to $10^{\circ}C\;from\;32^{\circ}C$. In the intervals of every about 40 minutes repeated ups and downs of temperature produced similar firing patterns at the allowable temperature ranges. The other two cells showed difference from these. The amplitudes of the action potentials of the two cells will not be highly decreased in 24 hours. Average spike frequencies, the inter-burst interval, peak to peak spike amplitude of action potentials, minimum potential values are compared and analyzed by using the computer programme. The spike frequencies according to temperature show the distribution of bell type, with maximal spike frequencies at intermediate temperatures and minimal ones at either end. The most common pattern consist of high spike frequency during failing and low one during rising temperatures.
