To provide necessary information for future environmental monitoring of storage batteries in Korea, authors analyzed environmental monitoring dataset of air lead concentration of 12 storage battery industries measured during 1989-2006. We calculated geometric mean and standard deviation with minimum and maximum value of each year dataset. Air lead concentration data were analyzed according to year of measurement, type of grid manufacturing method (grid casting type or expander type), size of industries and type of operation (casting, lead powder & pasting, assembly and others). The geometric mean and standard deviation of all lead industries for overall 18 years were $72{\mu}g/m^3$ and 3.65 with minimum of $6{\mu}g/m^3$ and maximum of $7,956{\mu}g/m^3$. The geometric mean air lead concentrations of years between 1989-1999 were above the Korean PEL($50{\mu}g/m^3$), whereas those of years after year 2000 were below the Korean PEL showing 50% of it. The geometric mean concentration of air lead was significantly lower in expander method battery industries than that of grid method battery industries and was lower in large sized battery industries than small & medium sized ones throughout the whole 18 years period. The distributions of over PEL($50{\mu}g/m^3$) were decreased by the years of environmental monitoring and those were lower in expander method battery industries than grid method battery industries. The significant reduction of mean air lead concentration during last 10 years may be induced partly due to more active environmental engineering control and new introduction of new operation in grid method battery industries, but may be also influenced by non-engineering method such as reduction of operation hours or reduction of exposure time during actual environmental measurement by industrial hygienist which is not concrete evidence, but just circumstantial evidence.

본 연구는 기존에 사용하여 왔고, 최근에 온습도의 정확도를 검증하였던 강제 흡출식 복사선 차폐장치(Aspirated Radiation Shield; ARS)를이용하여 모 기업(A 회사)에서 개발한 시스템의 성능을 개선하고, ARS 장치의 풍속이 온습도에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 시험적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. A 회사 제품의 시스템을 개선하기 전, A 회사 시스템의 온도는 ARS 장치로 측정한 온도보다 최대 10.2℃정도 높았고, 상대습도는 20.0%정도 낮게 나타났다. 시스템을 개선한 후, 노드 1, 2의 온도 및 상대습도는 거의 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 개선 후의 노드 2와 ARS 장치로 측정한 온도간의 최고, 평균 및 최저온도를 포함한 온도편차는 각각 0.2~0.7℃정도로써 ARS 장치가 약간 낮거나 높게 나타나는 경향이 있었다. 상대습도의 경우, 일몰 직후 ARS 장치의 상대습도가 약 10.0%정도 높게 나타나는 경향이 있었지만, 그 이외에는 평균적으로 1.9%정도 ARS 장치가 약간 낮게 나타나는 경향이 있었다. 그리고 노드 1을 최소-중간 사이, 중간-최대 사이 및 최대로 설정한 경우, 노드 1, 2의 최고, 평균 및 최저온도를 포함한 편차는 각각 0.1~0.4℃, 0.0~0.2℃ 및 0.0~0.5℃정도였다. 그리고 노드 1의 3개 측점과 ARS 장치의 최고, 평균 및 최저온도를 포함한 편차는 각각 0.2~0.5℃, 0.1~2.2℃ 및 0.1~1.1℃정도의 범위로써 풍속의 크기에 따른 온도편차는 아주 미미한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 선행연구 및 본 연구의 결과를 종합하여 보면, 온도오차를 개선하기 위한 적정 풍속은 1.0~2.0m·s^-1 정도의 범위일 것으로 판단되었다.

화학물질의 최소자연발화온도의 정확한 지식은 산업화재를 예방하고 제어하는데 중요하다. 최소자연발화온도(AIT)는 화염이나, 스파크 없이 주위로부터 충분한 에너지를 받아서 스스로 점화할 수 있는 최저온도를 말한다. AIT는 실험 개시온도, 압력, 농도, 용기의 크기, 양론혼합비, 촉매, 증기의 농도, 발화지연시간 등 많은 인자에 영향을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 1994년에 제작된 ASTM E659-78 장치를 이용하여 산류(Acids) 발화지연시간과 AIT관계를 측정하였고, 실험에서 얻은 자료는 본 연구에서 제시한 예측 모델과 적은 오차 범위에서 일치하였다.

Background and Objectives : Dysarthria refers to speech disorder that causes difficulties in speech communication due to paralysis, muscle weakening, and incoordination of speech muscle mechanism caused by damaged central or peripheral nerve system. Pitch, strength and speed are influenced by dysarthria during detonation due to difficulties in muscle control. As evaluation items, alternate motion rate and diadochokinesis have been commonly used, and articulation is also an important evaluation items. The purpose of this study is to find acoustic characteristics on sound production of dysarthria patients. Materials and Methods : Research subjects have been selected as 20 dysarthria patients and 20 subjects for control group, and voice sample was composed of bilabial, alveolar sound, and velar sound in diadochokinetic rate, while consonant articulation test was composed of bilabial plosive, alveolar plosive, velar plosive. Analysis items were composed of 1) speaking rate, energy, articulation time of diadochokinesis, 2) voice onset time (VOT), total duration (TD), vowel duration (VD), hold of plosives. Results and Conclusions : The number of diadochokinetic rate of dysarthria was smaller than control group. Both control group and dysarthria group was highly presented in the order of /t/>/p/>/k/. Minimum energy range per cycle during diadochokinetic rate of dysarthria group was smaller than control group, and presented statistical significance in /p/, /k/, /ptk/. Maximum energy range was larger than control group, and presented statistical significance in /t/, /ptk/. Articulation time, gap, total articulation time during diadochokinetic rate of dysarthria group was longer than control group and presented statistical significance. The articulation time was presented in both control group and dysarthria group in the order of /k/>/t/>/p/, while Gap was presented in the order of /p/>/t/>/k/ for control group and /p/>/k/>/t/ for dysarthria group. VOT, TD, VD regarding plosives of dysarthria group were longer than control group. Hold showed large deviation compared to control group that had appeared due to declined larynx and articulation organ motility.

After launching the GOCE (Gravity Field and Steady-State Ocean Circulation Explorer) which obtains high-frequency gravity signal using a gravity gradiometer, many research institutes are concentrating on the development of GGM (Global Geopotential Model) based on GOCE data and evaluating its precision. The precision of some GGMs was also evaluated in Korea. However, some studies dealt with GGMs constructed based on initial GOCE data or others applied a part of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) / Leveling data on UCPs (Unified Control Points) for the precision evaluation. Now, GGMs which have a higher degree than EGM2008 (Earth Gravitational Model 2008) are available and UCPs were fully established at the end of 2019. Thus, EIGEN-6C4 (European Improved Gravity Field of the Earth by New techniques - 6C4), GECO (GOCE and EGM2008 Combined model), XGM2016 (Experimental Gravity Field Model 2016), SGG-UGM-1, XGM2019e_2159 were collected with EGM2008, and their precisions were assessed based on the GNSS/Leveling data on UCPs. Among GGMs, it was found that XGM2019e_2159 showed the minimum difference compared to a total of 5,313 points of GNSS/Leveling data. It is about a 1.5cm and 0.6cm level of improvement compare to EGM2008 and EIGEN-6C4. Especially, the local biases in the northern part of Gyeonggi-do, Jeju island shown in the EGM2008 was removed, so that both mean and standard deviation of the difference of XGM2019e_2159 to the GNSS/Leveling are homogeneous regardless of region (mountainous or plain area). NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) is currently in progress in developing EGM2020 and XGM2019e_2159 is the experimentally published model of EGM2020. Therefore, it is expected that the improved GGM will be available shortly so that it is necessary to verify the precision of new GGMs consistently.

In an actual design, none of the structures with shear behaviors will be designed for torsional moments. Any failure or damages to roofs, infills, shear walls, and braces caused by an earthquake, will inevitably result in relocation of center of mass and rigidity of the structure. With these changes, the dynamic characteristics of structure could be changed during an earthquake at any moment. The main objective of this paper is to obtain the relationship between time-varying eccentricity of load and corner lateral displacement. In this study, various methods have been used to determine the structural response for time-varying lateral corner displacement. As will be seen below, some of the structural calculation methods result in a significant deviation from the actual results, although these methods include the interaction effects of modes. Controlling the lateral displacement of structure can be performed in different ways such as, passive dampers, friction dampers, semi-active systems including the MR damper and active Systems. Selecting and locating these control systems is very important to bring the maximum safety with minimum cost into the structure. According to this study will be show the relation between the corner lateral displacements of structure and time-varying eccentricity by different kind of methods during an earthquake. This study will show that the response of the structure at the corners due to an earthquake can be very destructive and because of changing the eccentricity of load, calculating the maximum possible response of system can be carried out by this method. Finally, some kind of systems must be used for controlling these displacements. The results shows that, the CQC, DSC and exact methods is comply each other but the results of Vanmark method is not comfortable for these kind of buildings.

Objectives: The study evaluated correlations among monthly PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, Pb concentrations and the number of Asian dust days. Methods: Based on data from 'The annual report on air quality in Korea from 1999 to 2017', concentrations of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, Pb, and the number of Asian dust days were recalculated to mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum. Correlation coefficients were calculated among PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, Pb, and Asian dust days. Results: Asian dust days were correlated only with PM₁₀ among the four factors of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, and Pb. The four factors of PM₁₀, PM_2.5, Cd, and Pb were very significantly correlated with each other (p<0.01). Their correlation coefficients for PM₁₀ were 0.800 for PM_2.5, 0.823 for Cd, and 0.892 for Pb. PM_2.5 was also correlated strongly with Cd (0.845) and Pb (0.830). Cd had a correlation with Pb of 0.971. The maximums of PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and Pb were shown to exceed the atmospheric environmental standard of Korea, which necessitates national continuous exposure control. Based on exposure data, Asian dust days were thought to be an exposure factor for Cd and Pb. Conclusion: Asian dust might be a factor in Cd and Pb exposure. National exposure controls are required for exposure to PM_2.5, PM₁₀, Cd, and Pb.

The electrical current generated by heart creates not only electric potential but also a magnetic field. We have observed electrophysiological phenomena of the heart by measuring components of magnetocardiogram(MCG) using 61 channel superconducting quantum interference device(SQUD) system. We have analyzed the possibility and characteristics of MCG parameters for diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. A technique for automatic analysis of MCG signals in time domain was developed. The methods for detecting the position, the interval, the amplitude ratio, and the direction of single current dipole were examined in the MCG wave. The position and interval parameters were obtained by calculating the gradients of a envelope curve which could be formed by the difference between the maximum and minimum envelope of multi-channel MCG signals. We show some differences of the frequency contour map between the normal MCG and the abnormal (ischemic heart disease) MCG. The direction of single current dipole can be defined by rotating the magnetic field according to Biot-Savart's law at each point of MCG signals. In this study, we have examined the direction of single current dipole from searching for the centroids of positive and negative magnetic fields. The amplitude ratio parameters for measuring 57 deviation consisted of A$_{T}$/A$_{R}$ and other ratios. and We developed a new analysis method, which is based on the frequency contour map of electromagnetic field. Using theses parameters, we founded significant differences between normal subjects and ischemic patients in some parameters.

목 적 : 폐암환자의 호흡동조 방사선 치료 계획 시 호흡 훈련 전후 RPM 신호와 횡격막 위치 변화를 분석하여 호흡 훈련의 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 2016년 4월부터 8월까지 호흡 동조 방사선 치료를 받는 환자 11명을 대상으로 호흡 훈련을 시행하였고 동시에 RPM 신호 및 횡격막 영상을 획득하였다. 호흡 훈련은 총 3단계로 1단계 자유 호흡 상태의 신호 획득, 2단계 호흡 신호 가이드를 통한 1차 호흡 신호 획득, 3단계 설명과 반복 훈련으로 규칙성과 안정을 유도한 최종 호흡 신호를 획득 하였다. 각 단계의 흡기와 호기시 RPM 신호와 투시 영상의 횡격막 위치의 평균값, 표준편차, 최대값, 최소값을 구하고, 이를 1단계 값으로 표준화 하여 2, 3단계를 상대분포 백분율(%)로 변환하여 환자의 호흡 변화와 내부 움직임을 분석 함으로써 각 환자의 호흡훈련 유용성을 평가 하였다. 결 과 : RPM 신호와 횡격막 진폭을 측정한 뒤, 1단계를 100%으로 표준화하여 각 단계의 평균값과 표준편차의 오차 평균을 구하였다. 그 결과, 3단계 최종호흡 획득 시 진폭의 상대평균 및 표준편차 모두 감소가36.4%, 표준편차만 감소가 18.2%, 진폭만 감소가 36.4%로 나타났으며, 횡격막 영상의 위치 측정 시 3단계에서 전체 81.8%의 환자에게서 상대평균 진폭 값이 30% 감소함을 보였다. 그러나 모든 환자들에게서 2단계 대비 3단계의 RPM 신호와 횡격막 진폭이 각각 평균 52.6%, 42.1% 감소함을 보였다. 또한, RPM 신호와 횡격막 영상 진폭 차이의 연관성은 2번 10번 환자를 제외하고 각각 1, 2, 3단계 움직임의 패턴이 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 호흡 동조 방사선치료에서 호흡 훈련을 시행하였을 때 최적화된 호흡 주기를 유도할 수 있었으며, 모의 호흡 훈련을 치료 전 시행함으로써 불규칙적인 호흡에 의한 환자의 호흡을 제어해 폐의 움직임을 예측 가능 하게 해주는 효과를 기대할 수 있었다. 궁극적으로는 방사선 치료의 체계적 오류를 최소화해 보다 정확한 치료를 기대할 수 있어 호흡 훈련이 유용하다고 할 수 있겠다.그러나 본 연구는 치료 전 호흡 훈련을 시행한 자료를 바탕으로 분석한 연구로 제한되어 있으며 추후 실제 CT 계획과 치료 시 획득한 자료를 가지고 검증하는 것도 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
