원전 해체 공정 중 다량의 콘크리트 방사성 폐기물의 절단 과정에서 불가피하게 방사성 에어로졸이 생성된다. 방사성 에어로졸은 인체 호흡기 흡착에 의한 내부피폭을 유발하기 때문에 작업자의 방사선 방호를 위한 내부피폭평가가 필수적으로 시행되어야 한다. 그러나 실제 작업환경의 에어로졸 특성값을 사용하기에는 선행 연구가 미비하며 콘크리트에 포함된 방사성 핵종의 수가 많기 때문에 정확한 작업자 내부피폭평가를 위해서는 상당한 시간과 인력이 필요하다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 사전 연구된 콘크리트 에어로졸 특성값을 활용하여 원전 해체 전 절단 작업자의 내부 피폭량을 빠르게 예측할 수 있는 새로운 방법론을 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구팀은 콘크리트 절단 시 발생하는 사전 연구에서 발표된 에어로졸의 수농도 크기 분포데이터를 뉴턴-랩슨법을 이용하여 피폭평가 계산에 필요한 방사능중앙 공기중역학직경(Activity Median Aerodynamic Diameter)값으로 변환하였다. 또한 원전 정지 10년 후 비방사능 값을 ORIGEN code로 계산하였으며, 최종적으로 핵종별 예탁유효선량을 IMBA 프로그램을 이용하여 계산하였다. 핵종별 예탁유효선량값을 비교한 결과 152Eu에 의한 최대 예탁유효선량은 전체 선량값의 83.09%를 차지하고, ¹⁵²Eu를 포함한 상위 5개 원소(¹⁵²Eu, ¹⁵⁴Eu, ⁶⁰Co, ²³⁹Pu, ⁵⁵Fe)의 경우 최대 99.63%를 차지함을 확인하였다. 따라서 원전 해체 전 콘크리트의 구성 원소 중 상위 5개 주요 원소 측정을 먼저 시행한다면 더 빠르고 원활한 방사능 피폭관리 및 해체 작업 안전성 평가가 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

We present the relation between the genus in cosmology and the Betti numbers for excursion sets of three- and two-dimensional smooth Gaussian random fields, and numerically investigate the Betti numbers as a function of threshold level. Betti numbers are topological invariants of figures that can be used to distinguish topological spaces. In the case of the excursion sets of a three-dimensional field there are three possibly non-zero Betti numbers; ${\beta}_0$ is the number of connected regions, ${\beta}_1$ is the number of circular holes (i.e., complement of solid tori), and ${\beta}_2$ is the number of three-dimensional voids (i.e., complement of three-dimensional excursion regions). Their sum with alternating signs is the genus of the surface of excursion regions. It is found that each Betti number has a dominant contribution to the genus in a specific threshold range. ${\beta}_0$ dominates the high-threshold part of the genus curve measuring the abundance of high density regions (clusters). ${\beta}_1$ dominates the genus near the median thresholds which measures the topology of negatively curved iso-density surfaces, and ${\beta}_2$ corresponds to the low-threshold part measuring the void abundance. We average the Betti number curves (the Betti numbers as a function of the threshold level) over many realizations of Gaussian fields and find that both the amplitude and shape of the Betti number curves depend on the slope of the power spectrum n in such a way that their shape becomes broader and their amplitude drops less steeply than the genus as n decreases. This behaviour contrasts with the fact that the shape of the genus curve is fixed for all Gaussian fields regardless of the power spectrum. Even though the Gaussian Betti number curves should be calculated for each given power spectrum, we propose to use the Betti numbers for better specification of the topology of large scale structures in the universe.

Purpose - This study aims to accomplish three major research goals. First, it strives to change consumers' focus from peripheral routes to a central route of public service advertising related to the good health policy, without problematic effects, by influencing consumers' knowledge or involvement. Second, this study examines the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and construal level theory (CLT). Specifically, we consider that the central route of ELM might correspond with the focal goal of CLT. Third, this study analyzes ELM through CLT. That is, ELM predicted that low involvement would take the peripheral route, and high involvement would take the central route. Research design, data, and methodology - This study consisted of three experiments. The first experiment had a 2×2 between-subject design. The subjects were university students and the research period was approximately one year. The first independent variable was the involvement of the overweight issue; this variable was measured and split by the median. The second independent variable was the temporal distance (near vs. distant future); this variable was manipulated. The second experiment also had a 2×2 between-subject design. The first variable was the involvement of cervical adenocarcinoma prevention, and was considered already manipulated by sex. Specifically, males had a low involvement of the disease, but females had high involvement. The second independent variable was priming (power vs. submissive). Power priming would induce abstract thinking, but submissive priming would take concrete processing. The third experiment had a 2×2×2 between-subject design. The first variable was cognitive depletion, and was manipulated by memorizing 9-digit numbers. The second and third independent variables were involvement and abstract thinking induction, such as prior experiments. Data were collected through questionnaires, and were analyzed by an SPSS program. Major hypotheses were tested by examining the interaction effects through ANOVA. Results - Major findings are as follows. First, even for low-involved consumers in the overweight category, distant future manipulation induced them to focus not on the peripheral route but on the central route of the public service advertisement. This result does not correspond to the typical ELM prediction. Second, under power priming, low-involved males of the cervical adenocarcinoma category focused on the peripheral route because of the induction to abstract thinking. This result replicated the first experiment, and confirmed the theoretical robustness. Third, high-involved females focused not on the central but on the peripheral route under the mixed condition of cognitive depletion and near future manipulation. Depletion consumed cognitive resources, and the processing mode of consumers changed from systematic to heuristic. Conclusions - ELM needs to be complemented through CLT in context of public service good health advertising. Specifically, the involvement of ELM may impact consumers' thinking mode (abstract vs. concrete), and the interaction effects may influence consumers' focus on advertising (central vs. peripheral route). This study's limitations were bounded subjects, limited stimuli, and somewhat weak external validity.

The electrical resistivity of sinter dusts generated from the steel industry and coal fly ash from the coal power plant has been investigated using the high voltage conductivity cell based on JIS B 9915 as a function of temperature and water content. Dust characterization such as the chemical composition, size distribution, atomic concentration, and surface structure has been conducted. Major constituents of sinter dusts were Fe$_2$O$_3$(40∼74.5%), CaO (6.4∼8.2%), SiO$_2$(4.1∼6.0%), and unburned carbon (7.0∼14.7%), while the coal fly ash consisted of mainly SiO$_2$(51.4%), Al$_2$O$_3$(24.1%), and Fe$_2$O$_3$(10.5%). Size distributions of the sinter dusts were bi-modal in shape and the mass median diameters (MMD) were in the range of 24.7∼137㎛, whereas the coal fly ash also displayed bi-modal distribution and the MMD of the coal fly ash was 35.71㎛. Factors affecting resistivity of dusts were chemical composition, moisture content, particle size, gas temperature, and surface structure of dust. The resistivity of sinter dusts was so high as 10(sup)15 ohm$.$cm at 150$\^{C}$ that sinter dust would not precipitate well. The resistivity of the coal fly ash was measured 1012 ohm$.$cm at about 150$\^{C}$. Increased water contents of the ambient air lowered the dust resistivity because current conduction was more activated for absorption of water vapor on the surface layer of the dust.

신종 직업병 중 누적외상성질환(Cumulative Trauma Disorders)은 고도로 분업화된 현대 산업환경에서 주로 수작업을 수행하는 종사자에게 발생된다. 본 연구는 단순반복근로자의 누적외상성질환에 노출되는 정도를 EMG시스템을 이용하여 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. AEMG에서는 작업경과에 따라 근피로도는 증가하다가 작업 완료시에는 근피로도가 내화벽돌을 들기 전보다 감소하였다. MF와 MPF에에서는 천극근, 다열근의 근피로도가 많은 것으로 나타났다. ZCR에서는 모든 내화벽돌의 무게에서 작업전과 작업후의 근피로도가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 종합적으로 작업진행이 계속됨에 따라 근육피로도는 증가하고 있었고, 단순반복운반작업시에 천극근과 다열관에 대한 근피로도가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

기존의 안경 렌즈 흠집 검출 방법은 영상내의 미세 잡음이 제거되지 않아 렌즈 영역이 정확히 추출되지 않는 경우가 발생하여 흠집 영역을 검출할 수 없다는 문제점이 발생한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 적응적 이진화 기법과 Bresenham algorithm을 적용하여 흠집 영역을 검출한다. 제안된 방법은 안경 렌즈 영상에서 명암 대비를 적용하여 렌즈의 명암을 강조한다. 명암이 강조된 영상에서 렌즈 밖의 배경 영역은 흠집 검출에 불필요하므로 이진화 기법을 적용한 후에 Bresenham algorithm을 적용하여 렌즈의 윤곽선을 검출하고 렌즈 이외의 배경을 제거한다. 렌즈 이외의 배경이 제거된 렌즈 영상에서 렌즈 내부의 배경과 흠집의 명암 대비를 높인다. 명암이 강조된 렌즈 내부 영역에서 적응적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 흠집과 잡음을 검출한다. 잡음은 중간값 필터를 적용하여 제거한 후에 흠집 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 흠집 영역에서 렌즈의 중심으로부터의 거리와 흠집의 크기를 퍼지 추론 규칙에 적용하여 눈에 미치는 영향 정도를 분석한다. 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석하기 위해 CHEMI, MID, HL, HM과 같은 시력 보정용 렌즈 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 12개의 시력 보정용 렌즈 영상 중에서 10개에서 결함을 성공적으로 추출하였다.

Unsatisfied results of return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) estimates were caused by the fact that the predictability of the predictors was insufficient. This unmet estimate of the predictors may be affected by transitional events due to behaviors which occur during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). We thus hypothesized that the discrepancy of ROSC estimates found in statistical characteristics due to transitional CPR events, may affect the performance of the predictors, and that the performance of the classifier dichotomizing between ROSC and No-ROSC might be different during CPR. In a canine model (n=18) of prolonged ventricular fibrillation (VF), standard CPR was provided with administration of two doses of epinephrine 0 min or 3 min later of the onset of CPR. For the analysis of the likelihood of a successful defibrillation during CPR, Support Vector Classification was adopted to evaluate statistical peculiarity combining time and frequency based predictors: median frequency, frequency band-limited power spectrum, mean segment amplitude, and zero crossing rates. The worst predictable period showed below about 1 min after the onset of CPR, and the best predictable period could be observed from about 1.5 min later of the administering epinephrine through 2.0-2.2 min. As hypothesized, the discrepancy of statistical characteristics of the predictors was reflected in the differences of the classification performance during CPR. These results represent a major improvement in defibrillation prediction can be achieved by a specific timing of the analysis, as a change in CPR transition.

This paper proposes a compact-sized surface myoelectric sensor for myoelectric hand prosthesis. To fit the surface myoelectric sensor in the socket of the myoelectric hand prosthesis, the sensor should be a compact size. The surface myoelectric sensor is composed of a skin interface and a single processing circuit that are mounted on a single package. Since the skin interface has one reference and two input electrodes, and the reference electrode is located in middle of two input electrodes, we propose two types of sensors with the circle- and bar-shaped reference electrode, but all input electrodes are the bar-shaped. The metal material used for the electrodes is the stainless steel (SUS440) that endures sweat and wet conditions. Considering conduction velocity and median frequency of the myoelectric signal, we select the inter-electrode distance (IED) between two input electrodes as 18mm, 20mm, and 22 mm. The signal processing circuit consists of a differential amplifier with band pass filter, a band rejection filter for rejecting 60Hz power-line noise, amplifiers, and a mean absolute value circuit. We evaluate the proposed sensor from the output characteristics according to the IED and the shape of the reference electrode. From the experimental results we show the surface myoelectric sensor with the 18mm IED and the bar-shaped reference electrode is suitable for the myoelectric hand prosthesis.

This study tested whether repeated measurement of median frequency (MDF)-related variables could express the muscle power changes during a 12-week DeLome strengthening program, by using consecutive overlapping FFT (Fast Fourier transformation) and integrated EMG (IEMG) from surface EMG data for isometric and isotonic exercise. To evaluate the effect of training, the following were recorded every 3 weeks for the elbow flexors and knee extensors of 5 healthy male volunteers: MVC, lRM, limb circumference, and surface EMG during isometric MVC or isotonic contraction at 10RM load. From the EMG data, IEMG and variables from a regression analysis between MDF and time were obtained. MVC, lRM, IEMG, and initial MDF increased linearly over the training period. The fatigue index and slope of the regression line increased temporarily until the 6th week and decreased thereafter. From these results, there appeared to be enhanced neural recruitment of fast twitch fibers in the first 6 weeks and continued enhancement in the recruitment and hypertrophy of fast twitch fibers, which led to increased fatigue resistance, over the last 6 weeks. Accordingly, the MDF and IEMG analysis technique could demonstrate the effect of the program detected significant changes in both isometric and isotonic contractions. EMG analysis methods can be used to estimate the electrophysiological and histological changes in skeletal muscles during a strengthening program.
