Asymmetrical stance posture, balance, and gait disturbance are common problems in hemiplegic patients. Posterior leaf springs (PLS) are frequently prescribed to correct these problems. Recently, anterior leaf springs (ALS) have also been prescribed, but only limited studies have been performed to investigate the effects of ALS. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of three conditions, i.e., wearing an ALS, wearing a PLS, and not wearing an AFO (ankle foot orthosis),: on 1) the distribution of weight bearing on the affected side, 2) standing balance, and 3) the gait patterns of hemiplegic patients. Eleven hemiplegic patients (10 men and 1 woman) participated in this study. The data were analyzed by the Friedman test. The results were as follows: 1) More weight bearing on the affected leg was observed in the ALS and PLS conditions than in the condition without an AFO. No significant difference between the ALS and PLS conditions was found. 2) There were statistically significant differences in the composite equilibrium scores (CES) among the three conditions. The CES in the PLS condition was significantly higher than in the ALS condition or the condition without an AFO. 3) Gait patterns improved significantly in the ALS and PLS conditions. No statistically significant difference between the ALS and PLS conditions was found. These results suggest that both ALS and PLS effectively improve the distribution of weight bearing on the affected side, standing balance, and gait patterns of hemiplegic patients. Further study using three-dimensional kinematic analysis and dynamic electromyography is needed to support these findings.

분산 제어 (DM; dispersion management)은 파장 분할 다중 (WDM; wavelength division multiplexed) 채널의 고품질 전송을 위해 광섬유의 그룹 속도 분산 (GVD; group velocity dispersion)과 비선형 효과의 상호 작용에 의해 왜곡되는 신호의 보상할 수 있는 대표적 기술이다. DM이 적용된 광전송 링크의 유연한 구성에 필요한 중계 구간 (fiber span)을 구성하는 단일 모드 광섬유 (SMF; single mode fiber)의 길이와 중계 구간 당 잉여 분산 (RDPS; residual dispersion per span)을 랜덤하게 분포시키는 구조와 인위적으로 분포시키는 구조에서의 최적 전체 잉여 분산 (NRD; net residual dispersion)의 최적치와 유효 입사 전력 범위를 도출하였다. 고려한 SMF의 길이와 RDPS 분포 패턴 모두 precompensation으로 NRD를 조절하는 경우에서는 +10 ps/nm, postcompensation으로 NRD를 조절하는 경우에서는 -10 ps/nm이 최적 NRD라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 NRD가 상기 값으로 설정된 경우 중계 구간이 증가할수록 SMF 길이를 감소시키고, RDPS를 증가시키는 인위적인 분포의 전송 링크에서의 시스템 성능이 가장 양호하여 균일한 분포의 링크에 비해 유효 입사 전력 범위가 2 dB 정도 신장되는 것을 확인하였다.

북동중국해 코아 퇴적물중 희토류 원소(REE) 함량을 분석하여 REE함량의 분포양상을 파악하고 퇴적물 기원지를 추적하였다. 북동중국해로 퇴적물을 공급하는 한국 강(금강, 영산강 등사 중국 강(황하, 양자강 등)에서 유출된 퇴적물 중 REE함량도 분석되어 한국/중국 강에서 유출되는 퇴적물 중 REE함량의 전형적인 분포양상이 구해졌다. 상부지각 중 REE 함량으로 정규화 된 중국 강과 한국 강 퇴적물 중 REE 함량의 분포양상은 각각 중간 희토류 원소(MREE)와 가벼운 희토류원소(LREE)가 부화된 형태로 나타났다. 중국 강 퇴적물에서 나타나는 REE 함량의 분포양상은 "C-type" 즉 MREE가 부화되어 가운데가 불룩한 형태이고, 한국 강 퇴적물에서 나타나는 REE 함량의 분포양상은 "D-type" 즉 LREE가 부화되어 원자번호가 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 감소하는 형태를 보인다. 북동중국해 코아 퇴적물중 REE 함량의 주요 제한인자는 LREE가 부화되어 있고 연구해역 인근 어디에나 분포하는 모나자이트$((Ce,\;La)PO_4)$로 해석된다. 한편, 북동중국해 퇴적물 중 REE함량의 분포양상은 C-type과 D-type의 중간 형태를 보인다. 이러한 중간 형태에 근거할 때, 현재는 대륙붕 환경이지만 과거에는 강 하구였던 북동중국해의 퇴적물은 한국 강과 중국 강에서 유출된 퇴적물의 혼합체로 판단된다.

This paper presents the temporal classification method based on data mining techniques for discovering knowledge from measured load patterns of distribution transformers. Since the power load patterns have time-varying characteristics and very different patterns according to the hour, time, day and week and so on, it gives rise to the uninformative results if only traditional data mining is used. Therefore, we propose a temporal classification rule for analyzing and forecasting transformer load patterns. The main tasks include the load pattern mining framework and the calendar-based expression using temporal association rule and 3-dimensional cube mining to discover load patterns in multiple time granularities.

In this study, we investigated acoustic characteristics of imitated utterances by a professional voice imitator, focusing on prosodic properties such as vowel formants and f0 distribution. To see the patterns of a voice imitation by a professional voice imitator, we compared the imitator's voice data with target speakers' voice data. The professional imitator, Mr. Bae produced utterances imitating the former President Kim's, the comedian Choi's, and the singer Bae's voices. Auditorily, the imitator was judged to imitate all the target speakers' voices successfully. However, acoustic examination showed that the imitator was better at imitating the singer Bae's voice in that the imitator's and the singer Bae's voices are more alike with respect to vowel formants and f0 distribution. We infer this is because the imitator's normal voice is very similar to the singer Bae's voice. On the other hand, the imitator's voice data showed that the patterns of vowel formants and f0 distribution found in the imitator's imitation voices of the other two target speakers were different from those of target speakers' voices.

This paper aims at an investigation of the features of bacterial communities in surface sediments of the South China Sea (SCS). In particular, biogeographical distribution patterns and the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria found in sediments collected from a coral reef platform, a continental slope, and a deep-sea basin were determined. Bacterial diversity was measured by an observation of 16S rRNA genes, and 18 phylogenetic groups were identified in the bacterial clone library. Planctomycetes, Deltaproteobacteria, candidate division OP11, and Alphaproteobacteria made up the majority of the bacteria in the samples, with their mean bacterial clones being 16%, 15%, 12%, and 9%, respectively. By comparison, the bacterial communities found in the SCS surface sediments were significantly different from other previously observed deep-sea bacterial communities. This research also emphasizes the fact that geographical factors have an impact on the biogeographical distribution patterns of bacterial communities. For instance, canonical correspondence analyses illustrated that the percentage of sand weight and water depth are important factors affecting the bacterial community composition. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of adequately determining the relationship between geographical factors and the distribution of bacteria in the world's seas and oceans.

This paper proposes an adaptive reclosing scheme which is based on the classification of fault patterns. In case that the first reclosing is unsuccessful in distribution system employing with two-shot reclosing scheme, the proposed method can determine whether the second reclosing will be attempted of not. If the first reclosing is unsuccessful two fault currents can be measured before the second reclosing is attempted, where these two fault currents are utilized for an adaptive reclosing scheme. Total harmonic distortion and RMS are used for extracting the characteristics of two fault currents. And the pattern of two fault currents is respectively classified using a mountain clustering method a minimum-distance classifier. Mountain clustering method searches the cluster centers using the acquired past data. And minimum-distance classifier is used for classifying the measured two currents into one of the searched centers respectively. If two currents have the different pattern it is interpreted as temporary fault. But in case of the same pattern, the occurred fault is interpreted as permanent. The proposed method was tested for the fault data which had been measured in KEPCO's distribution system, and the test results can demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive reclosing scheme.

The paper proposed a sizing method of an energy storage system(ESS) for peak shaving of high-speed railway substations based on load profile patterns of substations. A lithium based battery ESS was selected since it can produce high-power at high speed that peak shaving requires, and also takes up a relatively smaller space for installation. Adequate size of the ESS, minimum capacity which can technically meet a peak shaving target, was determined by collectively considering load patterns of a target substation, characteristics of the ESS to be installed, and optimal scheduling of the ESS. In case study, a local substation was considered to demonstrate the proposed sizing method. Also economic analysis with the determined size of ESS was performed to calculate electricity cost savings of the peak shaving ESS, and to offer pay-back period and return on investment.

This study has been performed to clarify the characteristics of temporal and spatial distribution of surface ozone concentration over Jeju Island, one of the cleanest areas in Korea with low emissions of air pollutants. Ozone data are monitored at four sites in Jeju Island. These monitoring sites are located at two urban area(referred to Ido and Donghong), coastal area(Gosan site) and forest site(Chuna site). Ozone data has been routinely collected at these sites for the late four years. The patterns of seasonal cycle of ozone concentrations at all stations show the bimodal with the peaks on spring and autumn and a significant summer minimum. However, the patterns of diurnal variations at rural station, i.e., Gosan and Chuna sites are considerably different to those at urban stations such as Ido and Donghong sites. The patterns of $\DeltaO_3$ variations are very similar with those of monthly mean ozone concentrations and $\DeltaO_3$ values are exceeded 30 ppb, at urban stations. This may be that urban stations are more influenced by local photochemical reactions rather than rural stations. In order to assess the potential roles of meteorological parameters on ozone formation, the meteorological parameters, such as radiation, temperature, and wind are monitored together with ozone concentrations at all stations. The relationships of meteorological parameters to the corresponding ozone concentration are found to be insignificant in Jeju Island. However, at Gosan and Donghong stations, when the sea breeze blew toward the station, the ozone concentration is considerably increased.
