  • There are many tube and pipeline in nuclear power plant under high temperature and high pressure. Erosion and corrosion defects were expected on these tube and pipe-line by environmental and mechanical factors. These erosion and corrosion defects ran be evaluated by ultrasonic technique. In these study, Scanning Laser Source(SLS) technique was applied to detect defect and construct image. This technique also makes detection possible on rough and curved surfaces such as tube and pipe-line by scanning. Conventional ultrasonic scanning technique requires immersion of specimen or water jet for transferring ultrasonic wave between transducer and specimen. However, this SLS technique does not need contacting and couplant to generate surface wave and to get flaw images. Therefore, this SLS technique has several advantages, for complicated production inspection, non-contact, remote from specimen, and high resolution. In this study, SLS images were obtained with various conditions of generation laser ultrasound and receiving in order to enhance detectability of flaws on the tube. Stress corrosion cracks were produced on tube and images of stress corrosion cracks were constructed by using SLS technique.

  • In this study, we propose the core factors and application of asymmetric virtual reality(VR) content in which head-mounted display(HMD) user and Non-HMD users can work together in a co-located space that can lead to various experiences and high presence. The core of the proposed asymmetric VR content is that all users are immersed in VR and participate in new experiences by reflecting widely a range of users' participation and environments, regardless of whether or not users wear the HMD. For this purpose, this study defines the role relationships between HMD user and Non-HMD users, the viewpoints provided to users, and the speech communication structure available among users. Based on this, we verified the core factors through the process of producing assistive asymmetric VR content and cooperative asymmetric VR content directly. Finally, we conducted a survey to examine the users' presence and their experience of the proposed asymmetric VR content and to analyze the application method. As a result, it was confirmed that if the purpose of asymmetric VR content and core factors between the two types of users are clearly distinguished and defined, the independent experience presented by the VR content together with perceived presence can provide a satisfactory experience to all users.

  • 철강재는 대량 생산이 가능하여 경제성이 뛰어나고 기계적 성질도 우수하여 다양한 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 철강재는 부식 환경에 취약하기 때문에 그 용도에 따라 다양한 내식성을 부여하는 표면처리를 적용하고 있다. 이러한 철강재에 대한 내식성 표면처리로는 용융아연도금(HDG)과 용융알루미늄도금(HDA)이 우수한 내식성과 다양한 특성으로 널리 사용되고 있으며 아연과 알루미늄을 접목시킨 갈바륨(GL)도금 또한 우수한 내식성 코팅으로 알려져 있다. 또한 최근에는 기존 용융아연도금에 알루미늄(Al) 과 마그네슘(Mg)을 첨가한 3원계 도금강판이 개발되어 기존 용융도금강판 대비 고내식 코팅으로 알려져 있으며 그 적용은 점차 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 일반적으로 이와 같은 강판소재의 내식성 평가에 대해서는 실제 사용할 환경에 폭로하여 비교-시험 하는 것이 가장 확실하고 신뢰도가 높은 방법이다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 경우에 따라 수년에서 수십년에 이르는 장시간이 소요된다. 그러므로 이 방법을 대체하기 위한 각종 가속적 부식 시험들이 널리 적용되고 있다. 즉, 그 목적이나 용도에 따라 염수분무(SST), 침지(Immersion) 및 전기화학적 분극(Polarization) 등 실내에서 부식 시험 하는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 한편, 이러한 부식 가속 시험들은 실제 외부에서 폭로 시험한 결과와의 상관성이 불명확한 경우가 많아 종종 해석에 어려움을 갖고 있는 실정이다. 또한 이 시험 방법들은 동일 재료를 시험하더라도 시험방법의 차이에 따라 부식요인이나 해석방법이 다르므로 인해 그 내식성 결과가 다르게 나타날 수 있다. 그 중 시험목적에 따라 전기화학적 분극 또는 임피던스 분광법(EIS)과 건조 및 습윤 등의 부식 환경 인자들을 적용한 복합부식시험(CCT) 방법은 근사한 대안으로 주목받고 있다. 하지만 이들 시험 또한 실제 부식 환경과는 여러 환경 및 요인들이 다르기 때문에 그 시험방법에 따라 목적하는 시험 결과가 상이하게 나타날 수 있어 해석-평가 하기에 종종 곤란을 갖는다. 이에 따라 최근에는 재현성이 우수하고 실제 부식 환경을 유사하게 모사할 수 있는 내식성 시험과 해석-평가에 대한 내용이 주요한 과제로 사료되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 내식성 코팅 강판소재들에 대하여 염수분무(SST), 복합부식(CCT), 갈바닉 시험, EIS 시험을 통하여 부식시험 종류 및 시험 환경, 코팅 소재 별 부식경향을 비교-분석하고자 하였다. 또한 이들 부식 진행과정에서는 미세구조관찰(SEM), 결정구조 분석(XRD) 및 원소조성 분석(EPMA)을 통해 다양한 조건에 따른 강판소재들의 부식경향을 비교-평가하고, 실제 환경과의 상관성 및 가속관계를 도출하고자 하였다.

  • Changes in quality during frozen storage of meat with thermal equalized freezing and various freezing methods were investigated. When beef were frozen at freezing rate of $0.39{\sim}0.66\;cm/h$, average diameter of ice crystal were about $30{\sim}50\;{\mu}m$ and showed broken tissues or irregular cracks. At freezing velocity of $1.14{\sim}2.26\;cm/h$, ice crystals of about $10{\sim}30\;{\mu}m$ was formed mainly inside or between fiber and slight destruction of tissues was occurred. The average diameter (D) of the ice crystals were related to the characteristic freezing time $(t_c)$ by the equation: $D({\mu}m)=4.089+26.88logt_c\;(r^2=0.913)$. Beef with still-air freezing showed higher drip loss than methods of immersion and thermal equalized freezing. Also, drip loss of pork was relatively lower than beef and showed highest value to 7.39% during storage on 40 days at air-blast freezing method. No apparent change of pH during storage of frozen beef and pork by freezing methods were detected. However, least changes for sample with thermal equalized freezing was found compare to sample with still-air and air blast freezing in VBN and TBA value. The fluctuation of frozen storage temperature did not cause noticeable changes on pH and water content. However, drip loss, VBN and TBA values were increased slowly as frequency of fluctuation increased.

  • Our previous studies investigated that narrow field of view (FOV : 50˚) and slow navigation speed decreased the frequency of occurrence and severity of cybersickness during immersion in the virtual reality (VR). It would cause a significant reduction of cybersickness if it were provided cybersickness alleviating virtual environment (CAVE) using biofeedback method whenever subject underwent physiological agitation. For verifying the hypothesis, we constructed a real-time cybersickness detection and feedback system with artificial neural network whose inputs are electrophysiological parameters of blood pulse volume, skin conductance, eye blink, skin temperature, heart period, and EEG. The system temporary provided narrow FOV and decreased speed of navigation as feedback outputs whenever physiological measures signal the occurrence of cybersickness. We examined the frequency and severity of cybersickness from simulator sickness questionnaires and self-report in 36 subjects. All subjects experienced VR two times in CAVE and non-CAVE condition at one-month intervals. The frequency and severity of cybersickness were significantly reduced in CAVE than non-CAVE condition. Virtual environment of narrow FOV and slow navigation provided by electrophysiological features based artificial neural network caused a significant reduction of cybersickness symptoms. These results showed that efficiency of a cybersickness detection system we developed was relatively high and subjects expressed more comfortable in the virtual navigation environment.

  • ;ABSTRACT-The effects of gastric ulcer induced by restraint and water-immersion stress on gastric carcinogenesis in Wistar male rats treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were examined. Rats of group 1 were 2iven stress for 8 hours before they were received MNNG (100 mg/l) in drinking water for 20 weeks. Rats of group 2 were received MNNG first for 2 weeks and then were given stress once a week from 3rd to 12th weeks, with simultaneous MNNG adminitration and followed by MNNG only until 20th weeks. Rats of group 3 were received MNNG only as a positive control and rats of group 4 were not treated with carcinogen. All groups were sacrificed in 20 weeks. Sections of the pyloric mucosa were stained by avidin-biotin peroxidase complex (ABC) immuno-histochemical method. PAPG (pepsinogen isozyme 1 altered pyloric gland), body weight change, gross lesions and histopathological changes were examined. The results obtained from these studies were summarized as follows: 1. The mean body weight gains of the rats fed with carcinogens (group 1, 2, 3) were significantly lower than that of group 4 (control group, without carcinogen. p<0.05). However, the differences of the mean body weight of rats treated with carcinogen were not significant. 2. Stress treatment (group 1 and 2) increased the appearance of the numbers of PAPG (Pepsinogen 1 Altered Pyloric Gland) induced by carcinogen significantly compared with that of group 3 (carcinogen only, p<0.01). 3. The incidence rate of mucosal hyperplasia in pylorus was significantly increased in group 2 compared with group 3 (p<0.05).0.05).

  • To improve the mechanical properties, such as durabilities and antioxidative characteristics, the covalently cross-linked (CL-) SPEEK (sulfonated polyether ether ketone)/Cs-substituted HPA (heteropoly acid) organic-inorganic composite membranes (CL-SPEEK/Cs-HPAs), have been intensively investigated. The composite membrane were prepared by blending cesium-substituted HPAs (Cs-HPAs), including tungstophosphoric acid (TPA), molybdophosphoric acid (MoPA), and tungstosilicic acid (TSiA) with cross-linking agent content of 0.01 mL. And composite electrolytes composed of Cs-HPAs, prepared by immersion (imm.) and titration (titr.) methods to increase the stability of HPAs in water, were applied to polymer electrolyte membrane electrolysis (PEME). As a result, the proton conductivity of Cs-substituted composite membranes increased rapidly over $60^{\circ}C$ but mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, decreased in accordance with added Cs content. The bleeding-out of Cs-TPA membranes by titration method (50 vol.% Cs) decreased steadily to 2.15%. In the oxidative stability test by Fenton solution, the durability of membranes with Cs-HPA significantly increased. In case of CL-SPEEK/ Cs-TPA membrane, duration time increased more than 1200 hours. It is expected that even though CL-SPEEK/Cs-MoPA membrane shows the high proton conductivity, electrocatalytic activity and cell voltage of 1.80 V for water electrolysis, the CL-SPEEK/Cs-TPA (imm.) is more suitable as an alternative membrane in real system with the satisfactory proton conductivity, mechanical properties, anti-oxidative stability and cell voltage of 1.89 V.

  • The purpose of this study was to observe characteristic properties through the polarization curves and SEM images from 4 different types of amalgam obtained by using the potentiostats (Princeton EG & G) & SEM (Jeol/35), and to investigate the degree of corrosion on the oxidation peak of the each phase of amalgam. After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator (Shofu Co.), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10.0mm in height and was condensed by using routine manner. The specimen was removed from the mold and stored at room temperature for about 24 hours. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out. Anodic polarization measurement was employed to confirm the corrosion behaviour of the amalgams in a 0.9% saline solution (P.H: 6.8-7.0) at $37^{\circ}C$. The initial rest potential (corrosion potential) was determined after 30 minutes of immersion of specimen in electrolyte, and the potential scan was begun at the point of 100mV cathodic from the corrosion potential. The scan rate was 0.17mV/sec. in the study to observe the degree of corrosion of each phase. SEI and EPMA images on the determined oxidation peaks of each amalgam were observed. The results were as follows: 1. In the four anodic polarization curves, low copper amalgams have three oxidation peaks and high copper amalgams have two oxidation peaks, -270mV, +26mV and +179mV(SEC) in the low copper lathe cut, and -300mV, +39mV and +163mV(SEC) in the low copper spherical. -4mV and +154mV(SEC) in the Dispersalloy, and +17mV and +180mV(SEC) in the Tytin as high copper amalgams. 2. ${\gamma}_2$ phase in the low copper amalgam and ${\eta}$ phase in the high copper amalgam were the most corrodible phases and Ag-Cu eutectic in high copper amalgam was the most slowly corroded phase. 3. Low copper amalgam was more susceptible in corrosion than high copper amalgam.

  • Realistic training contents utilizing intensive immersion of virtual reality are being used in various fields such as industry, education, and medical care. High-risk, high-cost education training, in particular, is difficult to conduct in reality, but it can be applied with the latest virtual reality technology that enhances educational effectiveness by efficiently and safely experiencing it in an environment similar to reality. This study introduces a management system that systematically manages realistic virtual training contents and visualizes training results in schematic pictures based on defined evaluation elements. The management system can store the information generated from the content in the database and manage the training records of each trainee in a practical way. In addition, a content-based scenario can be created in multiple scenarios by setting training goals, number of participants, and methods for applying evaluation elements. This paper describes the management system's production method and the results based on the virtual reality training content as an application example.

  • Objective : The purpose of this study is to investigate the meaning of students' experience participating in the flipped learning based instruction in sensory integration, and to understand the demand and introspection of participants. Methods : This study used a phenomenological approach of qualitative study. The participants were 10 students in 3rd year of the occupational therapy program in K Univeristy. Data information was collected by one-to-one interview and analyzed through phenomenological research method. Results : Through the interview, 20 units of meaning, 8 central meanings, and 3 themes were drew. The information collected were analyzed into three themes; Learning Experiences in Online and Offline Courses, Request and Introspection of Learners on Flipped Learning. The result showed that online courses brought learners convenience and satisfaction with repeatable learning in every time and space the learner want. However, the learners appealed issues of communication and concentration due to the absence of face-to-face instruction by their instructor. For the offline courses, students showed interest in various practical classwork of sensory integration and changes in their attitude to actively engage in the practical classes. Conclusion : Flipped learning based instruction was effective for the sensory integration classes which require practice in terms of time securement and immersion in practice. The learners requested for adopting flipped learning based instruction to other subjects in occupational therapy curriculum, and introspected that they needed to actively engage in classes through the experience of flipped learning-based classes of sensory integration. The results of this study can be used as a basic resource when flipped learning classes are planned in occupational therapy education.
