Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CRFP) materials are well suited to the rehabilitation of civil engineering structures due to their corrosion resistance, high strength to weight ratio and high stiffness to weight ratio. Their application in the field of the rehabilitation of concrete structures is increased due to the vast number of bridges and buildings in need of strengthening. However, RC members, strengthened with externally bonded CFRP plates, happened to collapse before reaching the expected design failure load. Therefore, it is necessary to develop the new strengthening method to overcome the problems of previous bonded strengthening method. This problems can be solved by prestressing the CFRP plate before bonding to the concrete. In this study, a total of 21 specimens of 3.3 m length were tested by the four point bending method after strengthening them with externally bonded CFRP plates. The CFRP plates were bonded without prestress and with various prestress levels ranging from 0.4% to 0.8% of CFRP plate strain. All specimen with end anchorage failed by a plate fracture regardless of the prestress levels while the specimen without end anchorage failed by the separation of the plate from the beam due to premature debonding. The cracking loads was proportionally related to the prestress levels, but the maximum loads of specimens strengthened with prestressed CFRP plates were insignificantly affected by the prestress levels.

Music sampling, which has been popular since hip-hop DJs used it in the 1970s, is now one of methods of producing music that is used regardless of genre or country. In this study, an overall production methodology for music sampling was presented through in terms of content and techniques. First of all, in terms of the contents, we classified them into the reuse and length of materials, and the function of samples in the mixed songs. In terms of the techniques, editing and effecting techniques were classified. By combining these elements, the methodology of music sampling applicable to the productions as well as the analysis was presented. Based on this methodology, the sampled songs of Korean Popular musicians - Jang Ki-ha and Faces, Epik High, The Quiet, and DJ DOC - were successfully analysed. Through the analysis process, the organic relationship of elements within the methodology was investigated, and the results of the analysis showed the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. This study can be meaningful in laying the groundwork for applying music sampling directly when actually producing songs or analyzing sampled songs.

This study is to find out the legitimacy and features of Honam Choreography via Lee Mae-bang and Han Jin-ok, two of the masters, and to seek better and more creative ways to pass it down in view of regional particularities. The study looks into the traditional choreography's multi-conceptuality that is derived from various forms of art and lends it its identity with the original notion rooted in Buddhist dancing. Despite the local cultural traits of the Honam area, the fact that Lee Mae-bang is more feminine and Han Jin-ok more masculine shows the two's worlds of dancing have been created from different perspectives, though they are quite common in their roots and locales. The particularities of passing down traditional choreography are given a thought in this study with the distinction and identity taken into account. Also, it will give an opportunity to discuss the importance of localism as aesthetic consciousness and communica tion channel. In any case, there is no doubt that local difference and communica tion make a very important source of culture when we look into the originality of the choreography.

Machine learning (ML)-based cavity detection using a large amount of survey data obtained from vehicle-mounted ground penetrating radar (GPR) has been actively studied to identify underground cavities. However, only simple image processing techniques have been used for preprocessing the ML input, and many conventional seismic and GPR data processing techniques, which have been used for decades, have not been fully exploited. In this study, based on the idea that a cavity can be identified using diffraction, we applied ML-based diffraction separation to GPR data to increase the accuracy of cavity detection using the YOLO v5 model. The original ML-based seismic diffraction separation technique was modified, and the separated diffraction image was used as the input to train the cavity detection model. The performance of the proposed method was verified using public GPR data released by the Seoul Metropolitan Government. Underground cavities and objects were more accurately detected using separated diffraction images. In the future, the proposed method can be useful in various fields in which GPR surveys are used.

Recently, the use of prepaid electronic payments such as electronic wallets, digital currency and prepaid points is gradually increasing. Prepaid electronic payments has the characteristic of being used after charging first. This study empirically investigated the factors affecting the intention to use online charging in order to help improve the service that require prepaid recharge by applying transformed TAM. Since there are not many previous studies for the intention to use online charging, we extract factors through preceding researches for electronic cash and mobile easy payment. Also we analyze the intention to use online charging for transportation card users, focusing on the moderating effects. As a result of the study, it was found that 'convenience', 'ubiquity', and 'self-efficacy' among the independent variables had a positive (+) effect on mediation variable 'perceived usefulness'. 'Perceived usefulness' was analyzed to have a significant influence on the dependent variable 'usage intention'. According to users' gender, internet usage time, internet shopping frequency, online charging frequency and transportation card usage type, the moderating effect was significant on 'perceived usefulness' and 'usage intention'. As an implication, it was suggested that service improvement and differentiated marketing are needed in direction of increasing the usefulness of services. Additional research directions were proposed for services such as e-wallets, prepaid points and digital currencies by adding other factors and moderate variables.

In order to identify the change of tidal characteristics on average in the Asan Bay due to the construction of the Hwaong (Namyang Bay) tidal barrier (HTB), the tide data at Pyongtack (PT) and Anheung (AH) for the periods from 1993 to 2006 were analyzed using the harmonic analysis method, and major and shallow water tidal constituents were compared. The semidiurnal tidal amplitudes at PT increased while those at AH decreased after the tidal barrier construction. In particular, the amplitudes at PT increased abruptly during the period of $2002{\sim}2003$ when HTB was completed. On the other hand, the amplitudes of the diurnal tides at PT and AH showed minimal change. This suggests that the tidal characteristics change in the Asan Bay may be related to the construction of HTB. The cause of this change is different from either blocking the tidal wave propagation by the Keum River tidal barrier or removing 'choking effect' by the Yeongsan River tidal barrier. The $M_4/M_2$ ratio increased and their phase difference decreased after the completion of HTB. Accordingly, these changes may result in increase of tidal range, decrease of the flood duration and increase of the flood current velocity, inducing more sediments into the Asan Bay.

The purpose of this study was to compare the proximal surface contour, size of contact area, and volume difference before and after restoration in artificial teeth of primary molars during proximal composite resin restoration using different matrix systems. Four types of artificial teeth were restored with composite resin using sectional matrix systems-Palodent V3 Sectional Matrix System and myJunior Kitand a circumferential matrix system-Tofflemire Matrix System-and modeled threedimensionally for analysis. When sectional matrix systems were used, there was a higher probability of concave proximal surface contour and simultaneously greater contact area and volume. This is attributed to the dead soft properties of the matrix band used in sectional matrix systems, which can lead to deformation of the band and hence an excessive amount of resin applied around the contact point. Additionally, the rubber wedge in the sectional matrix system may not help the matrix band fit into the cavity. Therefore, based on the findings of this study, morphological aspects need to be carefully considered for proximal composite resin restoration of primary molars using sectional matrix systems.

To obtain basic design criteria for underground anaerobic digestion and enhance biogas production from swine slurry, a $20m^3$ underground anaerobic digester (UGAD) was constructed and operated at mesophilic ($31{\sim}37^{\circ}C$) temperature with an organic loading rate (OLR) at $23.6kgVS/m^3/day$. The average biogas and $CH_4$ production rate were observed at 8.62 and $5.78m^3/day$, respectively. The mean percentile of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ were also observed at 67.5% and 19.6%. The relative biogas yield was explored at $733L/kg\;VS_{added}$ and $CH_4$ yield was at $495L/kg\;VS_{added}$ respectively. The removal rate of biochemical constituents and pathogens were noticed considerably at 68%, 74%, 79%, 86%, 89%, 81%, 55%, 79%, 98% and 100% on TS, VS, TSS, $BOD_5$, $TCOD_{cr}$, $SCOD_{cr}$, $NH_3-N$, available P, fecal coliforms and Salmonella, respectively. This study suggested that, the modified UGAD system is a greatly desirable for anaerobic digestion for swine slurry with regards to high methane yield and biodegradability.

디지털 위성방송의 시작과 더불어 본격적인 데이터 방송의 시대가 열렸다. 데이터방송이 시작 되면서 데이터방송용 양방향 콘텐츠에 대한 수요가 급속하게 증가하고 있다. 하지만 양방향 콘텐츠 개발에 필요한 저작 도구 및 검증 시스템은 아주 초보적인 수준에 머물러 있는 것이 현실이다. 그러나 방송의 특성상 콘텐츠 상에서의 오류는 방송 사고에까지 이를 수 있는 심각한 상황이 연출 될 수 있다. 본 연구 팀은 이러한 DTV 콘텐츠 개발 요구에 부응하여, 개발자의 콘텐츠 개발 및 사업자 또는 기관에서의 콘텐츠 검증이 원활이 이루어 질수 있도록 하는 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템을 개발 중이다. 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템은 Java 컴파일러, 디버거, 미들웨어, 가상머신, 그리고 IDE 등으로 구성된다. 본 논문에서 제시한 자바 컴파일러는 양방향 콘텐츠 검증 시스템에서 데이터 방송용 자바 애플리케이션(Xlet)을 컴파일하여 에뮬레이팅 하거나 런타임 상에서 디버깅이 가능하도록 하는 바이너리형태의 class 파일을 생성한다. 이를 위해 Java 컴파일러는 *.java 파일을 입력으로 받아 어휘 분석과 구문 분석 과정을 거친 후 SDT(syntax-directed translation)에 의해 AST(Abstract Syntax Tree)를 생성한다. 클래스링커는 생성된 AST를 탐색하여 동적으로 로딩 되는 파일들을 연결하여 AST를 확장한다. 의미 분석과정에서는 확장된 AST를 입력으로 받아 참조된 명칭의 사용이 타당한지 등을 검사하고 코드 생성이 용이하도록 AST를 변형하고 부가적인 정보를 삽입하여 ST(Semantic Tree)를 생성한다. 코드 생성 단계에서는 ST를 입력으로 받아 이미 정해 놓은 패턴에 맞추어 Bytecode를 출력한다.ovoids에서도 각각의 점들에 대한 선량을 측정하였다.

Background: Manual acupressures in the correction and recovery of spinal deformities are known to be effective. However, they rely on therapists' skill and often require a long treatment time. The shortcomings of the manual therapy are anticipated to be effectively mitigated through self-gravitational acupressures (SGA) which stimulate multiple acupoints simultaneously with acupressure tools. Objective: The study aims to verify the effect of SGA for the correction of sagittal standing posture. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the postural improvements of the 93 subjects who underwent the SGA intervention, leveraging self-gravity for stimulating neck, back, pelvis, and calf areas both overall and sequentially using a set of acupressure tools equipped with multiple acupressing rods. Degree of posture abnormality was assessed before and after the SGA intervention using the photographic images of the subjects' sagittal standing postures, based on the angles of inclination of the upper body (from external auditory meatus to pelvis) and the lower body (from pelvis to malleolus) from the gravitational line passing through the hip joint. Results: After the SGA intervention, the upper body inclination angle was observed to decrease from an average of 3.2° to 1.6° (50.0% reduction, p<.001), and the lower body inclination angle decreased from an average of 3.5° to 3.2° (8.6% reduction, p<.01). Conclusion: The observed results underpin that SGA is effective for the correction of postural deformities. For the clinical application of SGA, prospective research is needed to optimize SGA protocol and acupressing tools and to validate long-term clinical efficacy.
