Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of wearing spandex underwear on the muscle activity and heart rate during flexion and extension of trunk and knee joint. Background: Back pain continues to be the leading overall cause of physical illness and lowering productivity in workplace. Recently, the utility of assistive garment or back belt have been discussed to lessen the back pain as well as to preserve the right posture. Method: Ten males and ten females participated in the experiment. Gender, wearing spandex underwear and postures were used for independent variables, and muscle activity, the level of asymmetry of muscle activity and variation of heart rate were used as dependent variables. Muscle activity and heart rate were measured during flexion and extension of trunk and knee joint. Results: When wearing spandex underwear, the muscle activity was relatively low compared to the condition not wearing the spandex underwear. The symmetry of muscle activity and the variation of heart rate were statistically significant at the 0.05 significance level. In particular, it was found that the symmetry of muscle activity increased while wearing spandex underwear. Conclusion: Spandex underwear has an effect that can reduce asymmetry of right and left muscles which are relevant to leg because spandex underwear equally supports right and left low-back muscles. Application: The spandex underwear used in this study can apply to the rehabilitation as an useful assistive device.

쏘일네일링 공법은 작업공간의 확보가 용이하고 네일길이가 어스앵커보다 비교적 짧아 도심지 지하굴착에 매우 이로운 장점이 있다. 이 공법이 도입된 이후 쏘일네일링 벽체의 거동에 관한 연구는 토조에 의한 모형실험과 이론적 연구가 진행되고 있지만 지반조건이 다층토로 구성된 현장에 대한 연구는 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 다층토 지반에 시공된 쏘일네일링 현장에서 시공중 측정된 수평변위를 토대로 한 역해석적 방법에 의해 배면지반의 이완영역거리와 이완영역계수를 고찰하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 쏘일네일링 벽체 배면지반의 이완 영역거리는 최종굴착깊이의 증가에 따라 증가함을 보였으며, 그 비율은 최종굴착깊이의 94% 정도로 나타났다. 토사층과 암층이 혼합되어 있는 다층토 지반에서 토사층의 비율이 클수록 이완영역계수도 증가하였으나, 약 1.05값에서 수렴하는 경향을 나타냈다. 벽체 최대수평변위에 대한 지표면 최대수직변위와의 관계는 역해석결과에서 지표면 최대수직변위가 최대수평변위의 80%이하로 나타났으며, Caspe방법에 의한 지표면 최대수직변위는 최대수평변위의 150~280%의 범위로 나타나 역해석결과보다는 매우 큰 값을 나타내 Caspe방법이 매우 보수적임을 확인하였다.

Background: We aimed to investigate the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and its associated agricultural work-related, biomechanical factors among this population. Methods: We analyzed initial survey data from the Safety for Agricultural Injury of Farmers cohort study involving adult farmers in Jeju Island. The prevalence of LBP was calculated with associated factors. Results: In total, 1,209 participants were included in the analysis. The overall prevalence of LBP was 23.7%. Significant associations for LBP were the type of farming activity, length of farming career, prior agricultural injury within 1 year, and stress levels. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed three biomechanical factors significantly related to LBP: repetitive use of particular body parts; the inappropriate posture of the lower back and neck. Conclusions: Some occupational, and biomechanical risk factors contribute to LBP. Therefore, postural education, injury prevention education, and psychological support will be needed to prevent LBP.

To support UDP-based real-time multimedia applications over the Internet, it is necessary to provide a certain amount of bandwidth within the network so that the performance of the applications will not be seriously affected during periods of congestion. Since the flow rates of some of these applications do not back of during periods of congestion, it is also necessary to protect flow-controlled TCP flows from unresponsive or aggressive UDP flows. To achieve these goals, we propose a simple queue policy to support multimedia applications, called threshold-based queue management (TBQM). TBQM isolates UDP flows efficiently from TCP flows to protect TCP flows while supporting bandwidth requirements of UDP applications that require QoS. In addition, TBQM supports drop fairness between TCP flows without maintaining per-flow state. We also present some experimental results to show that the proposed queue policy can work well.

In this study, a basic research on artificial liver was performed for its application to people on the waiting list of liver transplant or patients with hepatic insufficiency. Artificial livers are generally classified into mechanic type, bioartificial type, and hybrid type. An extracorporeal circulation device was examined herein, which is indispensable in the application of an artificial liver, for its effectiveness in supporting the recovery of liver functions. Extracorporeal circulation system is a treatment and life-support system which sends out the patient's blood, removes toxicity by various methods, and then sends the blood back to the interior of the body. This study used an extracorporeal circulation system which enables the Plasma Perfusion by CVVH method, and applied the program of Bioateco corp. Animals with acute hepatic insufficiency were produced to apply the extracorporeal circulation device. As a result, their ammonia, bilirubin, SGOT, SGPT, and bile acid levels rose, confirming the liver function restoration in the experimental animals.

In this paper, we proposed a brain-computer interface system using EEG signals. It can generate 4 direction command signal from EEG signals captured during imagination of subjects. Bandpass filter used for preprocessing to detect the brain signal, and the power spectrum at a specific frequency domain of the EEG signals for concentration status and non-concentration one is used for feature. In order to generate an adequate signal for controlling the 4 direction movement, we propose a new interface system implemented by using a support vector machine and a time-multiplexing method. Moreover, bio-feed back process and on-line adaptive pattern recognition mechanism are also considered in the proposed system. Computer experimental results show that the proposed method is effective to recognize the non-stational brain wave signal.

Individual solar cells must be connected together to give the appropriate current and voltage levels and they must also be protected from damage by the environment. [1] PV module consists of a glass/ polymer encapsulation/ solar cell string/ polymer encapsulation/ back sheet. Usually, encapsulation materials is used EVA(ethylene vinyl acetate), PVB(polyvinyl butyral), PO(polyolefin)sheet. This study is about fabrication of module using silicone material instead of above them. We got to know advantage that is fabrication time and efficiency of modules.

Parkinson's disease is a growing and chronic movement disorder, and its diagnosis is difficult especially at the initial stages. In this paper, movement characteristics extracted by a computer using multilayer back propagation neural network mapping are converted to the symptoms of this disease. Then, modulation of three classifiers of C4.5, k-nearest neighbors, and support vector machine with majority voting are applied to support experts in diagnosing the disease. The purpose of this study is to choose appropriate characteristics and increase the accuracy of the diagnosis. Experiments were performed to demonstrate the improvement of Parkinson's disease diagnosis using this method.

In this paper we introduce a bandwidth allocation algorithm and admission control policy for IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access standard. The proposed mechanism is practical and compatible to the IEEE 802.16. Our scheme provides QoS support to high priority traffic and high throughput in low priority traffic. The simulation show that the proposed scheme includes QoS support for real-time traffic and we presented that BS determine a efficient contention mini-slot size. We have shown the relationship between traffic size and its QoS requirements and the network performance.

We live in the digital era, and the characteristics of our customers in the digital era are constantly changing. That's why understanding business requirements and converting them to technical requirements is essential, and you have to understand the data model behind the business layout. Moreover, BI(Business Intelligence) is at the crux of revolutionizing enterprise to minimize losses and maximize profits. In this paper, we have described a leading study about the situation of desk-top BI(software product & programming language) in aspect of front-end side and the Data Lake platform based on Big Data by data modeling in aspect of back-end side to support the business intelligence.
