Background: Lower back pain (LBP) is a major cause of disability and a common musculoskeletal disorder encountered at some point in life. Dysfunction of the lumbar vertebrae has been associated with decreased flexibility of the hamstrings, which exhibited a strong positive correlation with LBP. Hamstring tension affects lumbar pelvic rhythm. We aimed to activate pelvic stability with compression by Active Therapeutic Movement (ATM), muscle energy technique (MET) was applied to increase the flexibility of the hamstring. Objects: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of MET with ATM and general MET were applied to the hamstring of adults, who were in their twenties with nor without LBP, on their pelvic inclination and the length of their hamstring. Methods: A total of 32 subjects were briefed about the purpose of this study and agreed to participate voluntarily. Before the experiment, all subjects were pre-examined, and they were divided into an LBP group and a no lower back pain group accordingly. Thereafter, all subjects participated in both in a crossover manner. After at least one week, they switched to another group and participated in the same experiment. Results: The study results revealed that both groups demonstrated significant results in the modified active knee extension test (p < 0.01) and the sit and reach test (p < 0.01) performed to assess the hamstring flexibility; an interaction (p < 0.05) was noted. Moreover, a more significant difference was observed between the MET with ATM and the general MET. Although significant results were obtained for the pelvic inclination (p < 0.01), interaction was not noted. Conclusion: Conclusively, in this study, when the MET with ATM was applied to the two groups, there was a significant difference compared to the general MET for hamstring flexibility, but it was confirmed that there was no significant difference for the pelvic inclination.

In this study, an acceleration sensor that has optical fibers to measure the inclination and acceleration of a structure through contradictory changes in two-component FBG sensors was examined. The proposed method was to ensure precise measurement through the unification of the deformation rate sensor and the angular displacement sensor. A high sensitivity three-axis accelerometer was designed and prepared using this method. To verify the accuracy of the accelerometer, the change in wavelength according to temperature and tension was tested. Then, the change in wavelength of the prepared accelerometer according to the sensor angle, and that of the sensor according to the change in ambient temperature were measured. According to the test results on the FBG-based vibration sensor that was developed using a high-speed vibrator, the range in measurement was 0.7 g or more, wavelength sensitivity, 2150 pm/g or more, and the change in wavelength change, $9.5pm/^{\circ}C$.

결정된 변속선도에 의한 자동변속 패턴은 운전자에게 편리한 변속을 제공한다. 하지만, 운전자의 운전 성향이 개인마다 다양함으로 고정된 변속선도를 여러 운전자에게 동일하게 제공하늘 것은 불만의 요소로 인식되고 있다. 이에, 본 논문에서는 운전자의 성향을 결정할 수 있는 입력을 이용한 학습 모듈을 설계하여 운전 성향을 판단하고자 한다. 판단된 운전 성향을 이용하여 변속선도를 조정함으로써 운전자의 의지에 부합되는 변속패턴을 제공하고자 한다. 실제 주행시 얻은 데이터를 이용하여 제안된 모듈의 성능의 우수함을 보인다.

It was studied the phenomena of transient freezing of an inclined water-saturated enclosure. One side of the test section was cooled and the other sides were insulated. The effects of the initial temperature, the inclination angle on the temperature field and the shape of the ice-water interface were observed. In the beginning of freezing, with increasing the inclination angle the freezing rate was increased and in the stable density layer centered $4^{\circ}C$, the freezing was fast as the convective fluid flow became small. When the initial temperature was above the $4^{\circ}C$, the frozen thickness in the upper part of inclined surface was thinner than that in the lower part, but with time the frozen thickness of upper part was thicker than that of lower part, below the $4^{\circ}C$, the frozen thickness in the upper part was thicker than that of lower part from the begining, and above the $8^{\circ}C$ in the beginning upper part was thinner with concave, but with time thicker the upper part, vanishing concave.

The mechanical behaviour of layered concrete samples containing an internal crack was numerically studied by modelling the geo-mechanical specimens in the particle flow code in two dimensions (PFC2D). The numerical modelling software was calibrated with the experimental results of the Brazilian tensile strengths gained from the laboratory disc-type specimens. Then, the samples with the bedding layers and internal notch were numerically simulated with PFC2D under uniaxial compressive loading. In each specimen, the layers' thickness was 10 mm but the layer's inclination angle was changed to 0°, 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° and 150°. Of course, the layers'interfaces are considered to have very low strengths. The internal notch was kept at 3 cm in length however, its inclination angle was changed to 0°, 40°, 60° and 90°. Therefore, a total, of 24 numerical models were made to study the failure mechanism of the layered concrete samples. Considering these results, it has been concluded that the inclination angles of both internal crack and bedding layers affect the failure mechanism and uniaxial compressive strength of the concrete.

쏘일네일링의 활동억지효과를 조사하기 위하여 일련의 모형실험을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 쏘일네일링이 설치된 토사 사면에 대한 모형실험장치를 고안하였다. 그리고, 모형실험시 각종 계측시스템을 이용하여 사면활동에 따른 쏘일네일링의 변형거동을 조사하였다. 모형실험결과 네일의 면적비 및 삽입각도가 변화됨에 따라 네일의 최대휨응력 크기 및 발생위치가 변화됨을 알 수 있다. 네일의 면적비가 0.7$\%$인 경우 최대휨응력이 가장 크게 발생되므로, 사면활동에 대한 억지효과가 가장 크게 발휘됨을 알 수 있다. 그리고, 네일을 과다하게 설치하는 것은 오히려 네일의 저항효과를 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 네일의 삽입각도가 -10$^{circ}$인 경우 최대휨응력이 가장 크게 발생되므로, 사면활동에 대한 저항효과가 가장 크게 발휘됨을 알 수 있다. 한편, 모형실험에서 네일의 최대휨응력이 발생되는 위치를 토대로 사면활동면을 추정할 수 있으며, 네일의 면적비 및 삽입각도에 따라 사면활동면이 변화됨을 알 수 있다.

This study aims to analyze the performance of a submersible fish cage which was designed for developing an economical cage system can be applied in korean aquaculture environment easily. To analyze the performance of the designed cage a model test was carried out. In the test, inclination changes of the upper frame and mooring tensions of model cage were measured during the submerging and surfacing motion in still water and wave condition (period: 2s, wave height: 0.1, 0.2, 0.3m). As a result, in the still water condition the model cage kept horizontal balance and inclination degree of the upper frame was about $1^{\circ}$. In the wave condition, the model cage showed bilateral symmetric up-and-down motion but the average inclination degree of the upper frame was about $0^{\circ}$. When the model cage reached at a depth of 1m, the up-and-down motion of the cage was decreased by 12% compared with that of at the surface (period 2s, height 0.3m). In the same wave condition, the maximum and average line tension under the bottom position were about 8% and 11% respectively compared with that of at surface.

전통적인 면대면 수업에 비하여 온라인 학습은 학습자에게 더 심한 고립감을 유발하며, 또한 높은 중도 탈락률을 보인다. 이러한 현상은 온라인 학습에서 학습자 간의 상호작용, 소속감, 상호의존성, 상호유대감, 지속적 학습을 가능하게 하는 사회적 환경의 부족함에서 기인한다. 그러므로 e-learning 공동체에서는 중도 탈락률을 낮추고 학습자의 고립감을 해소하도록 하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는, 바람직한 학습공동체 형성을 위하여 적용될 취향검사 항목에 대한 연구를 수행하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 온라인상에서 취향검사의 동질성과 다양성을 결합한 지능적 멀티에이전트 기법에 의한 학습공동체 e-learning 그룹핑 시스템(GSE)을 개발하였다. GSE 시스템은 에이전트에 의해 개인화된 사용자 프로파일을 구축하여 사용자 취향에 따른 그룹핑을 자동적으로 수행하는 것이 특징이다. 이 시스템을 실제 테스트해 본 결과, 학습자들의 약 88%가 만족함을 나타냈으며 그룹이 계속 유지되거나 해체되지 않기를 원하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 이방성 암반의 방향성 및 측압조건이 터널 변형거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 서로 다른 15가지 이방성 터널 모형에 대해 축소모형실험을 실시하였다. 이를 위해 모래 석고 물의 중량비를 달리한 모형재료에 대한 물성 실험을 통하여 모형재료의 특성을 연구하였다. 대부분의 이방성 터널 모형은 응력이 집중되는 곳에서 전단파괴 현상을 보였으며 절리면을 따라 미끄러짐이 발생하여 절리면의 경사 방향이 터널 변형거동에 큰 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 절리 경사가 $30^{\circ}$보다 작은 모형에서는 반팽창현상이 두드러지게 나타났으며 절리경사가 $50^{\circ}$인 모형은 측압조건에 관계없이 수직 및 수평 내공변위가 가장 작게 나타나 실험된 모형중에서 가장 안정적인 모형으로 판단된다. 또한 모형터널의 파괴 및 변형양상은 측압계수 조건에 따라 매우 상이하게 나타났다.

PURPOSE. To compare the sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) in dentate individuals measured by the different methods with mechanical articulator (MA), virtual articulator (VA), and a jaw tracking device (JTD) system. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 22 healthy dentate participants were enrolled in this study. For MA workflow, the SCI was obtained by a semi-adjustable articulator with protrusive interocclusal records. The SCI was also set on a VA by aligning intraoral scan (IOS) with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and facial scan (FS), respectively. These virtual workflows were conducted in a dental design software, namely VAI_OS-CBCT and VAI_OS-FS. Meanwhile, a JTD system was also utilized to perform the measurement. Intraclass correlation was used to assess the repeatability within workflows. The bilateral SCI values were compared by Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test for each workflow, and Kruskal-Wallis test and post hoc p-value Bonferroni correction were used to compare the differences among four workflows. The agreement of VAI_OS-CBCT, VAI_OS-FS, and JTD compared with MA was evaluated by Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS. Intraclass correlation of the SCI revealed a high degree of repeatability for each workflow. There were no significant differences between the left and right sides (P > .05), except for VAI_OS-CBCT (P = .028). Significant differences were not found between MA and VAI_OS-FS (P > .05). Bland-Altman plots indicated VAI_OS-CBCT, VAI_OS-FS, and JTD were considered to substitute MA with high 95% limits of agreement. CONCLUSION. The workflow of VAI_OS-FS provided an alternative approach to measure the SCI compared with MA.
