Abdominal circumference changes due to breathing by the respiratory muscle activity such as diaphragm, which would partially represent the lung volume variation. The present study introduced conductive rubber molded in a cord shape incorporated with a patient's pants. The conductive rubber cord operated as a displacement transducer to measure the lung or abdominal volume changes. Signal extraction circuitry was developed to obtain the volume and its derivative(or the flow) signals followed by wireless transmission based on the Zigbee communication protocol in a size of $65mm{\times}105mm$ easily put in pocket. Breathing frequency was accurately evaluated and breath pattern analysis seemed feasible, since respiratory behaviours such as maximal inspiration and cough were well identified. Remote wireless receiver module also enabled to monitor both volume and flow signals during resting breathing on a PC terminal.

Fluence monitor(F/M)는 조사 시편을 원자로의 노심에 넣은 후 방사화 된 조사 시편의 방사능을 측정한 후 역산하여 중성자의 선량을 계산하는 기법으로 원자로내의 중성자 분포를 조사하기 위하여 반드시 필요한 기술이다. 이 기술은 중성자에 대한 에너지 스펙트럼 측정이 간접적으로 가능하며, 현존하는 중성자 분포 측정 기법 중에서 우수한 정밀도를 지니고 있다. 하나로(HANARO)에서 수행하는 재료조사 시험에서의 중성자량 측정을 위하여 본 연구에서는 지름 0.1 mm, 길이 3 mm 미만의 질량 150~200 ${\mu}g$ 범위, 순도 99.9% 이상의 Fe, Ni, Ti 와이어를 F/M 시편으로 사용하였다. 이 시편은 알루미늄 캡슐에 봉입하여 30 MW 의 하나로 OR5공에 약 25일간 조사하였다. 조사를 마친 시편은 high purity germanium (HPGe) detector를 이용하여 감마선을 측정하였고, SAND-II code로 reaction rate와 중성자 cross-section등을 고려하여 fluence monitor 위치에서의 중성자 플루언스를 계산하였다. F/M이 장착 되었던 하나로 OR5공의 중성자 플루언스 값은 MCNP 코드를 이용하여 계산된 결과를 사용하였으며, SAND-II code로 장착된 F/M 위치에서의 중성자 플루언스를 계산하여 적용된 시편의 reaction에 따른 결과값의 차이를 비교 분석하였다.

Promoters of the chlorophyll a/b bidning protein genes, cab1, and cab2, of Arabidopsis thaliana were studied for their functions in differential expression during greening of etiolated shoots. The etiolated shoots were derived from leaves of transgenic tobacco plants with the cab-CAT (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase) translational fusions, and CAT activity was measured to monitor the activities of the cab promoters. Cab1 promoter activity increased rapidly and showed saturation after about 24 hours of greening, but that of cab2 increased with about 2 day-lag period and showed saturation after 6 days. Cab1 promoter activity was more sensitive to levulinic acid (LA) compared with cab2 activity. Cab2 promoter activity was inhibited more sensitively by chloramphynicol (CAP) than by inhibitors of Chl formation. Cab1 promoter activity was, however, inhibited less sensitively by CAP than by LA. The treatment of abscisic acid (ABA) did not block Chl synthesis so significantly as LA treatment did, and cab2 promoter activity was much less sensitive to ABA compared with that of cab1. These results suggest that cab1 expression is strongly related with Chl formation, possibly with $\delta$-aminolevulinic acid accumulation, and cab2 expression is suppressed more by the blockage of translation of Chl a-apoproteins than by the blockage of Chl a accumulation.

Objectives: This study performed to verify Korea National Health and Examination Survey(KNHAES) to monitor recommended physical activity(PA) and to propose an monitoring tools for evidence-based PA projects. Methods: The characteristics of the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire(GPAQ) and its reliability and validity were overviewed based on the current scientific evidence in the field of PA. Relevant articles were identified through multiple sources including PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, CINAHL, ASP, RISS4U, and KISS. Results: The GPAQ has strong points over the Short Form of International Physical Activity Questionnaire(IPAQ-SF) as a monitoring tool to meet recommended PA levels for three domains separately and reflecting a better understanding about walking. Its reliability and validity also were reported as acceptable in existing studies overall. Some limitations of this questionnaire, however, need to be addressed to improve its quality. Conclusions: For monitoring of evidenced-based physical activity projects, we considered that it is able to be provided an opportunity for in-depth discussion among academic experts and policy-makers about the necessity of complements for KNHAES and applying new tools, and it could be the basis for development of physical activity monitoring tool in the future.

The Activity patterns of animal species are difficult to access and the behavior of freely moving individuals can not be assessed by direct observation. As it has become large challenge to understand the activity pattern of animals such as dogs, and cats etc. One approach for monitoring these behaviors is the continuous collection of data by human observers. Therefore, in this study we assess the activity patterns of dog using the wearable sensors data such as accelerometer and gyroscope. A wearable, sensor -based system is suitable for such ends, and it will be able to monitor the dogs in real-time. The basic purpose of this study was to develop a system that can detect the activities based on the accelerometer and gyroscope signals. Therefore, we purpose a method which is based on the data collected from 10 dogs, including different nine breeds of different sizes and ages, and both genders. We applied six different state-of-the-art classifiers such as Random forests (RF), Support vector machine (SVM), Gradient boosting machine (GBM), XGBoost, k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and Decision tree classifier, respectively. The Random Forest showed a good classification result. We achieved an accuracy 86.73% while the detecting the activity.

본 연구는 불평등과 기업가적 활동, 특히 창업활동의 관계를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 기업가적 활동을 국가수준에서 조사한 GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor), 각 국가별 불평등 데이터인 WIID (World Income Inequality Database), World Bank에서 조사한 국가별 경제 데이터를 사용하여 불평등과 기업가적 활동의 관계를 실증 분석하였다. 그 결과, 불평등이 높은 국가에서 창업활동이 활발하다는 점을 확인할 수 있었다. 불평등과 창업활동의 관계에서 국내총생산(GDP)이 양의 조절효과를 가진다는 것도 확인되었다. 또한 소득 수준별 창업활동의 양상을 확인한 결과 저소득 계층에서 생계형 창업의 빈도가, 기회형 창업의 빈도는 고소득 계층에서 높다는 점도 나타났다. 본 연구는 불평등이 기업가적 활동을 가속화 할 수 있다고 추측할 수 있는 한 근거가 될 수 있다. 다만 보다 명확한 결론을 내리기 위해서는 향후 연구에서 좀 더 정밀한 연구 설계와 이에 따른 실증분석이 축적되어야 한다는 점은 분명하다.

This paper describes the development of an INS (Inertial Navigation System) integrated positioning system, which can monitor and track the firefighter's position for assisting effective fire-fighting activity and rescue services. The INS consists of highly accurate three-axis gyro sensor and three-axis accelerometer. By integrating an INS to positioning system, it is also possible to obtain the information of firefighter's physical state (e.g. standing, collapse and crouch) of posture including velocity. Consequently, this research would obviously make a contribution to effective rescue activities and safety of firefighters. Besides, this paper presents results from field tests conducted at Tokyo University demonstrating its viability and utility. We also summarize the overall system requirements and architecture, and describe the hardware and software used in the prototype system in detail.

On-line partial discharge(PD) monitoring system has been developed to monitor in operating large motor stator insulations. This system makes use of remote diagnosis techniques for the evaluation of PD activity in the control center of thermal power plant. This system can be remotely accessed via a modem to build database, analyze status and interpret the pattern of PD activity. A personnel computer is generally connected to ten motors to continuous measurement of the PD activity. The test data can be easily interpreted by a maintenance staff. For assessing the condition of stator winding in motors, this system ensures a reliable measurement and accurate estimation. Capacitive couplers used for on-line PD measurement have been 80pF. The maximum PD magnitude(Qmax), PD pattern and normalized quantity number(NQN) were performed by this system.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been utilized as the label in devising a potentiometric homogeneous assay for riboflavin and riboflavin binding protein (RBP). The proposed homogeneous assay method employs an ADA-biotin conjugate as the signal generator and an avidin-riboflavin conjugate as the signal modulator in the solution phase. The catalytic activity of the ADA-biotin conjugate is inhibited in the presence of an excess amount of the avidin-riboflavin conjugate, and the observed inhibition is reversed in an amount proportional to the concentration of RBP added. When the analyte riboflavin is added to this mixture of ADA-biotin, avidin-riboflavin and RBP, the activity of the enzyme conjugate is re-inhibited in an amount proportional to the concentration of riboflavin. Since the enzyme label used in this system is ADA, an ammonia-producing enzyme, a potentiometric rather than photometric detection scheme is used to monitor the enzymatic activity in the assay.

This work develops a monitoring system for the population with health concerns. A belt integrated with an on-body circuit and sensors measures a wearer's selected vital signals. The electrocardiogram sensors monitor heart conditions and an accelerometer assesses the level of physical activity. Sensed signals are transmitted to the circuit module through digital yarns and are forwarded to a mobile device via Bluetooth. An interactive application, installed on the mobile device, is used to process the received signals and provide users with real-time feedback about their status. Persuasive functions are designed and implemented in the interactive application to encourage users' physical activity. Two signal processing algorithms are developed to analyze the data regarding heart and activity. A user study is conducted to evaluate the performance and usability of the developed system.
