In the present study, to determine the flow rate of droplets supplied to heat transfer surface after (j-1)th rebound, $D_X[j{\ge}2]^{\ast}$, it was assumed that the rebound droplets are distributed according to the Gaussian distribution from 0 to L, in which the flight distance L is determined by maximum flight distance $L_{max}$. We also assumed that $L_{max}$ is dependent on the air flow velocity and mean size of droplets. The local heat flux of a dilute spray in high temperature region was predicted using the newly evaluated $D_X[j{\ge}2]^{\ast}$. In addition, the predicted results by the present model were compared with the existing experimental data.

Benomyl, one of the known endocrine disrupting chemicals, was analyzed to understand the fate in the nature. Water, sediment and biota samples are acidified to hydrolyze benomyl into carbendazim then followed by extraction and concentration. The concentrations of carbendazim in the samples were determined by liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Analysis data showed that certain amount of carbendazim was accumulated in sediment. On the contrary, no sign of accumulation in biota was observed probably due to the increased degradation rate in vivo. It is, however, that no one can claim carbendazim is not harmful to biota, since carbendazim may give a negative effect against organisms at the point of intaking.

Korea's HEMS are mainly operated during the week, but they are pushing for 24-hour operations. This study has made an overall comparison and review of helicopter safety management that should be accompanied to this end. For research purposes, helicopter regulations and helicopter accident statistics were analyzed, with a high accident rate associated with pilot error and night flight. It was proposed that future preparations would require reinforcement of laws and regulations, reinforcement of pilots' night training, and introduction of training and preflight risk assessments. This study will provide a direction for future helicopter safety. This study will provide for future direction of helicopter safety research.

Currently drone industry has become one of the fast growing markets and the technology for unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to continue to develop at a rapid rate. Especially small unmanned aerial vehicle systems have been designed and utilized for the various field with their own specific purposes. In these fields the path planning problem to find the shortest path between two oriented points is important. In this paper we introduce a path planning strategy for an autonomous flight of unmanned aerial vehicles through reinforcement learning with self-positioning technique. We perform Q-learning algorithm, a kind of reinforcement learning algorithm. At the same time, multi sensors of acceleraion sensor, gyro sensor, and magnetic are used to estimate the position. For the functional evaluation, the proposed method was simulated with virtual UAV environment and visualized the results. The flight history was based on a PX4 based drones system equipped with a smartphone.

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is common primary tumor of kidney. In the past, it had been considered a difficult tumor to manage since the detection was usually delayed until paraneoplastic syndrome and/or distant metastasis appeared due to its slow progression. However, the recent popularization of ultrasound and computed tomography has made RCC one of the easily curable cancers. Eighty percent are found early, mostly with tumor size less than 5 cm. Five-year survival rate after successful nephrectomy is exceeded 80-90 percent. Curative nephrectomy can be tried in stage 1 and 2, and some cases of stage 3. In these cases, return to flight can be considered after 6 to 12 months' observation. It should be monitored any occurrence of cancer recurrence, need for systemic treatment, metastasis, and paraneoplastic syndrome, etc. If any signs of recurrence are found or new treatment needs to be initiated, the flight should be suspended. If there is no recurrence for more than 5 to 10 years, the patient doesn't have to be followed anymore.

It is important to improve the initial launch conditions of golf ball at impact between golf club and ball to get a long flight distance. The flight distance is greatly influenced by the initial launch conditions such as ball speed, launch angle and back spin rate. It is also important to analyze the mechanism of ball spin to improve the initial conditions of golf ball. Back spin rate is created by the contact time and force. Previous studies showed that the contact force is determined as the resultant force of the reaction forces normal and tangential to the club face at the contact point. The normal force causes the compression and restitution of ball, and the tangential force creates the spin. Especially, the tangential force is known to take either positive or negative values as the ball rolls and slides along the club face during impact. Although the positive and negative tangential forces are known to create and reduce the back spin rate, respectively, the mechanism of ball spin creation has not yet been discussed in detail in the literature. In this paper, the influence of the contact force between golf club and ball is investigated to analyze the mechanism of impact. For this purpose, the contact force and time at impact between golf club head and ball are computed using FEM and compared with previous results. In addition, we investigate the impact phenomenon between golf club head and ball by FEM and clarify the mechanism of ball spin creation accurately, particularly focusing on the effect of negative tangential force on ball spin rate.

Because LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite has very limited contact time between satellite and ground station, all telemetry data generated on satellite are stored in a mass memory and transmitted to the ground during the contact time. There are two downlink modes, real-time mode and playback mode. Only real-time data frames are transmitted to the ground in real-time mode, real-time and playback data frames stored into mass memory are transmitted to the ground in playback mode. In accordance with the data transmission rate, there are two downlink rates, low downlink rate and high downlink rate. This paper briefly introduces downlink interfaces and flight software of a LEO satellite developed in KARI. And it presents the telemetry storage method, real-time and playback downlink management method, and downlink channel and rate control method.

UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) have an INS(Inertial Navigation System) equipment and also have an electro-optical Equipment for mission. This paper proposes the vision based attitude estimation algorithm using Kalman Filter and Optical flow for UAV. Optical flow is acquired from the movie of camera which is equipped on UAV and UAV's attitude is measured from optical flow. In this paper, Kalman Filter has been used for the settlement of the low reliability and estimation of UAV's attitude. Algorithm verification was performed through experiments. The experiment has been used rate table and real flight video. Then, this paper shows the verification result of UAV's attitude estimation algorithm. When the rate table was tested, the error was in 2 degree and the tendency was similar with AHRS measurement states. However, on the experiment of real flight movie, maximum yaw error was 21 degree and Maximum pitch error was 7.8 degree.

In this paper, we present machine learning to control drone flight using EEG signals. We defined takeoff, forward, backward, left movement and right movement as control targets and measured EEG signals from the frontal lobe for controlling using Fp1. Fp2 Fp2 two-channel dry electrode (NeuroNicle FX2) measuring at 250Hz sampling rate. And the collected data were filtered at 6~20Hz cutoff frequency. We measured the motion image of the action associated with each control target open for 5.19 seconds. Using Matlab's classification learner for the measured EEG signal, the triple layer neural network, logistic regression kernel, nonlinear polynomial Support Vector Machine(SVM) learning was performed, logistic regression kernel was confirmed as the highest accuracy for takeoff and forward, backward, left movement and right movement of the drone in learning by class True Positive Rate(TPR).
