The behavior of nucleation and crystallization in the $Li_2O_3-SiO_2$ glass heat-treated at different condition under the conventional and microwave processing was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), optical microscopy (OM), and electrical conductivity measurement. Nucleation temperature and temperature of maximum nucleation rate in both conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples were 460~$500^{\circ}C$ and $580^{\circ}C$, respectively. It was expected that the probability for bulk crystallization increased in microwave heat-treated sample, compared to conventionally heat-treated one. Degree of crystallization increased with increasing crystallization temperature in both conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples. However, pattern of crystallization growth under microwave processing appeared to be quite different from that under the conventional one due to its internal or volumetric heating. Electrical conductivity of conventionally and microwave heat-treated samples were 1.337~2.299, 0.281~~$0.911{\times}10^{-7}\Omega {\textrm}{cm}^{-1}$, respectively.

Flame retardant(FR) clothes prohibit additional fire diffusion and make the personnel do their tasks without a hitch in a flammable environment. The existing FR clothes, however, are heavy and give high thermal fatigue. Therefore, it is strongly demanded to develop a light, convenient, and eco-friendly clothes. Recently, many works have been reported to make FR fabrics with phosphorus compounds, but their performance could not satisfy the specified criteria in appraisal standards of domestic and American FR clothes or combat uniforms. In this paper, two kinds of phosphorus compounds were applied to cotton fabric. Graphene oxide functionalized with a phosphorus-rich deep eutectic solvent and ammonium polyphosphate were coated on cotton fabric by eco-friendly padding procedure. The coated fabrics were analyzed with thermogravimetric analysis, vertical flame resistance test(ASTM D6413), cone calorimeter test(ISO 5660-1), and method of test for limited flame spread(ISO 15025). It was revealed that the as-made cotton with those two materials simultaneously had better flame resistance than the cottons with each one. Furthermore, an additional coating for hydrophobicity on the FR cotton was tried for better washing fastness.

고열부하 환경에 노출되는 핵융합로의 플라즈마 대향부품은 주로 낮은 원자번호 물질-열전도가 좋은 물질-구조체의 순으로 다층 구조를 이루고 있으며, 이들 간의 우수한 접합성은 부품의 성능을 좌우하는 핵심 요소이다. 이러한 플라즈마 대향부품의 건전성을 평가하기 위해서는 고열속의 열부하를 반복적으로 인가하는 시험이 요구되며, 이를 위해 본 연구원에서는 KoHLT-1, 2의 시험시설을 운용하고 있다. 본 시설에서는 열부하원으로서 그라파이터 히터를 사용하며, 히터는 두 개의 시험 대상부품 사이에 설치되고, 히터에 고전류를 인가하여 복사열에 의해 시험 부품에 열부하를 가하게 된다. 고열부하 환경에서 열피로 시험을 위해 히터에 인가되는 전류를 시간에 따라 일정한 패턴으로 반복적으로 ON-OFF 하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 고열부하시험을 수행함에 있어 고려해야 할 여러 가지 요소에 대해 논의하였다. 우선 인가하는 열유속(heat flux) 값은 일차적으로 시험시설의 최대 출력에 의해 좌우되며, 시험대상물의 운전조건 및 열부하 반복횟수에 의해 결정된다. 열부하 반복횟수는 주어진 열유속 값에 대해 total strain이 파단에 이르는 수준에 의해 결정된다. 열부하를 인가하는 시간은 히터에 전류를 인가했을 때 요구되는 온도로 상승하는 데 걸리는 시간과 시험대상물의 온도가 더 이상 증가하지 않는데 걸리는 시간에 의해 좌우된다. 냉각시간은 길수록 시험대상물의 온도가 냉각수의 온도에 접근하게 되나 너무 길어지면 시험시간이 급격히 증가하게 되므로, 온도 감소 곡선을 검토하여 적절한 시간을 정하게 된다. 열유속 측정은 냉각수의 온도 상승값과 유량으로부터 계산하게 되며, 정확한 측정을 위해서는 열부하를 인가하는 시간이 충분히 길어야 한다. 또한 시험대상 부품에서 열부하가 인가되는 면적을 정확히 정의해야 하며, 냉각관로에 열부하가 인가되어서는 않된다. 또한 시험대상부품을 지지하는 지지구조체를 통한 열손실을 최소화해야 정확한 열유속을 측정할 수 있다. 시험대상부품을 설치할 때 히터와의 간격 또한 결정해야 할 중요한 요소이며, 간격이 좁을수록 최대 열유속 값을 증가시킬 수 있으나, 너무 가까운 경우 히터의 열변형에 의한 접촉 및 아크 방전의 가능성이 있으며, 이 경우 히터와 시험대상부품의 손상을 가져오게 된다. 시험대상물이 국제열핵융합로(ITER)의 일차벽과 같이 베릴륨이 포함되어 있는 경우 방전에 의한 손상은 인체에 유해한 오염의 원인이 될 수 있다. 또한 순간적인 방전은 고가의 고전류전원의 고장을 유발할 수도 있다. 열부하 시험 중 시험대상물의 온도를 정확히 측정하는 것은 필수적이며, 온도 변화 곡선으로부터 시험대상물의 건전성 여부를 판단할 수 있다. 이를 위해 변화를 가장 잘 탐지 할 수 있는 위치에 온도 센서를 설치하는 것이 관건이며, 이는 사전 분석을 통해 알 수 있다.

This study aimed to investigate the association of the muscle activity around the neck of the operator(dental hygienists') according to the change in the patient's neck angle during a direct visual inspection on the maxillary right-side molar palatal surface. The operators were $4^{th}$ year dental hygiene students, who are future dentalhy gienists, having accurate understanding on and awareness of the location of the operation site, hand fixation, and how to use the tools. Data on the change in the muscle activity around the neck were collected by using surface electromyography and neck goniometer. SPSS statistics 20 was used for statistical analyses including Shapiro-wilk test and one-way ANOVA. As a result, the activities of the operator upper trapezius, cervical erector spinae, and levator scapulae muscles significantly decreased when the patient's head was angled compared to when it was not. For the angle of the operator head, the head bend significantly decreased when the patient's head was angled than when it was not. Based on the study results, it is expected that angling the patient's head when treating his or her teeth will decrease the excessive muscle activity around the neck of the operator, and will reduce muscle fatigue. Therefore, angling the head of the patient while treating his or her teeth is recommended. This suggests that muscle pain caused by repetitive actions in the wrong posture can be reduced.

Offshore working environments such as ships, offshore oil and gas plants, and offshore wind turbines are isolated and directly exposed to rough seas, which pose high risks of safety accidents. Therefore, all workers in offshore plants should be able to cope with emergency situations and must be qualified according to relevant laws and regulations such as the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW Convention) and Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organization (OPITO) standards. In particular, marine workers should be able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in isolated locations or enclosed and confined spaces such as those in life-boats, life-rafts, rescue-boats, etc. Because the floor material is made of rubber, it may be difficult to perform chest compressions in life-rafts used to escape from emergency situations in ships or offshore plants. Chest compressions performed on life-rafts may reduce the accuracy of CPR and increase fatigue for those providing aid. To measure the accuracy and fatigue of those performing CPR in life-rafts, 15 experimenters with more than five years of experience as first aid instructors were exposed to different CPR environments in a marine safety training center equipped with an artificial wave generator. The results showed that the accuracy of CPR in the classroom was 99.6 %, but that in various life-raft environments was only 84 %. T-verification of the two sites confirmed the reduced accuracy of CPR performed on life-rafts. CPR on life-rafts should be performed in groups of two and with the use of automated chest compression devices.

Chin Tuck Against Resistance Exercise(CTARE) and Shaker exercise is used to common for strengthening of suprahyoid muscle. No previous studies was compare of two exercises for patients with dyaphagia. This study investigated the effects of CTARE and Shaker exercise on suprahyoid, sternocleidomastoid muscle activity in stroke older patients with dysphagia. Ten stroke patients with dyaphagia voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects was performed in the order in the CTARE (isometric, isokinetic), Shaker (isometric, isokinetic), and repeated each ten trials. After CTARE was performed, subjects took a 5 min wash out period to minimize muscle fatigue. Activity of suprahyoid and sternocleidomastoid muscle during two training was analyzed using surface electromyography(sEMG). Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to assess differecences for muscles activity between the effects of the CTAR and Shaker exercise within group. CTARE and Shaker exercise showed no significant difference activity in suprahyoid muscle(p > .05). CTARE showed significantly lower muscle activity in sternocleidomastoid muscle than Shaker exercise(p < .05). CTARE in stroke older patients with dysphagia may be a effective intervention to improve swallowing function than Shaker exercise.

Objectives: The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of a mindfulness-based Body-Mind Intervention Program using marine resources on the improvement of quality of sleep, mood symptoms, and cognitive function in Korean female emotional labor workers. Methods: Twelve female workers who experienced excess emotional labor participated at the training camp program for five days in Danghangpo-ocean park, Goseung-gun, Gyeongnam Province in South Korea. Participant sleep quality, mood symptoms, and cognitive functioning before, after, and 1.5 months later were evaluated and analyzed. Results: After participating in the marine resource program, participants reported significantly decreased sleep latency. Global sleep quality, cognitive functions (attention, flexibility, and inhibition control), and mood states, including depression, tension, anger, fatigue, were also improved. These effects were generally maintained after 1. 5 months (PSQI t = 2.63, p = 0.02 ; HAM-D t = 5.92, p < 0.001). Conclusion: A Body-Mind Intervention Program using marine resources was effective in relaxing emotion-related tension and improving cognitive function. To advance this pilot study, it is necessary to carry out further research to investigate the use of marine resources in mental health interventions.

This paper presents an algorithm for identifying and eliminating errors by seagrasses in coastal bathymetry surveying using drone and HD camera. Survey errors due to seagrasses were identified, segmentated and eliminated using a L∗a∗b color space model. Bathymetry survey using a drone and HD camera has many advantages over conventional survey methods such as ship-board acoustic sounder or manual level survey which are time consuming and expensive. However, errors caused by sea bed reflectance due to seagrasses habitat hamper the development of new surveying tool. Seagrasses are the flowering plants which start to grow in November and flourish to maximum density until April in Korea. We developed a new algorithm for identifying seagrasses habitat locations and eliminating errors due to seagrasses to get the accurate depth survey data. We tested our algorithm at Wolpo beach. Bathymetry survey data which were obtained using a drone with HD camera and calibrated to eliminate errors due to seagrasses, were compared with depth survey data obtained using ship-board multi-beam acoustic sounder. The abnormal bathymetry data which are defined as the excess of 1.5 times of a standard deviation of random errors, are composed of 8.6% of the test site of area of 200 m by 300 m. By applying the developed algorithm, 92% of abnnormal bathymetry data were successfully eliminated and 33% of RMS errors were reduced.
