Construction robot-based automation can contribute to productivity and quality improvement by replacing manpower in tasks that have simple repetitive properties or require high precision. In this respect, layout work is one of the most effective tasks in introducing robot-based automation technology. The development of a robotic layout system for building structures has recently been promoted in Korea, and a prototype of a marking robot has been produced. However, for commercialization, the technology improvement is required through the analysis of major improvement directions. Therefore, this study aims to derive the improvement priorities of the marking robot based on the evaluation of researchers who participated in the development process. As a result, there was a high demand for improvement in factors such as the robot's precise positioning method and robot size and weight. The results of this study are expected to serve as guidelines for the efficient input of limited resources in the future technology development process.

A binaural filtering method using HRTF DB is generally used to make the headphone-based 3D sound. But it can make some confusion between front and back directions or between up and down directions due to the non-individual HRTF depending on each listener. To reduce the confusion of sound image localization, we propose a new method to boost the spectral cue by modifying HRTF spectra with spectrum difference between front and back directions. Informal listening tests show that the proposed method improves the front-back sound localization characteristics much better than the conventional methods

Freight transport by railway is gaining more attention at present as a countermeasure against global warming. In keeping with this purpose, the present study examined various methods for promoting railway use through minimization of the transfer resistance of bulk freight at railway stations. First, the transfer-related factors that shippers consider as important when choosing railway as a transport mode were identified. Also, the relative importance and the level of influence of each factor during the transfer stage were evaluated. Policy directions for reducing transfer resistance in railway stations were then proposed based on the analysis of the transfer resistance factors. The policy directions include both hardware and software approaches. The necessary reduction ranges with regard to the transfer cost and time through policy implementation efforts were suggested as well.

PURPOSE: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Kinesio taping and massage application to the calf muscles on ankle stability. METHODS: The study subjects were 66 healthy adults (male: 32, female: 34) who had no instability in their ankles. Subjects were randomly assigned to a Kinesio taping group or a massage group. The research tool used the Y-balance test to measure instability of the ankle. The distance between the right and left foot was measured from the center in the anterior, posterior-medial, and posterior-lateral directions. Massage was applied to the calf muscles three times over two weeks and Kinesio tape was attached to the calf muscle and tibialis anterior for 10 hours twice during the experimental period. RESULTS: The results showed that application of Kinesio taping resulted in increases in the distance between the feet increased in some directions. After the massage, the distance extended from the anterior and posterior-lateral directions was prolonged, and the ankle stability on the right and left sides was partially improved by massage application. CONCLUSION: Kinesio taping and massage applied to the calf muscles are appropriate interventions for the improvement of ankle stability. Based on the application times of massage, Kinesio taping appears to work more effectively for ankle stability.

Medicine is undergoing a revolution in the understanding of the mechanisms through which disease processes develop. The advent of genetics and molecular biology to oncology not only is providing surrogate predictors of therapy response and survival which are forming the basis for selection among established treatment options, but is providing targets for new directions in therapy as well. Molecular modification of somatic cells for the purposes of protecting the normal cells from the toxicity of cancer chemotherapy, for the sensitization of the tumor cells to therapy and use of conditionally replicating viral vector have been new directions of cancer treatment which have reached the clinical arena. Advances in molecular pharmacology and vector design summarized in this paper may provide solutions to some of the existing problems in the technology of gene transfer therapy. Continued basic research into the biological basis of human disease, systemic studies of the application of these discoveries to therapy and the improvement of vector for gene delivery all combined may result in advances in this important field of therapy over the next few years.
