The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mandibular movements of TMD patients comparing to normal persons. Sirognathograph was used to measure five parameters of mandibular movements of twenty normal persons and eight TMD patients. Five parameters were (1) Maximum opening during maximum opening and closing, (2) Mean velocity during maximum opening and closing, (3) Maximum opening during unilateral chewing, (4) Mean velocity during unilateral chewing, (5) Consistency of mandibular movement during unilateral chewing. Based on above results, new Mandibular Movement Index(M.M.I.) was formulated and compared to Helkimo's Clinical Dysfunction Index by measuring two indices before treatment and 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks after treatment. The conclusions were as follows: 1, The amounts of maximum opening and mean velocity during maximum opening and closing of TMD patients were less than those of normal persons(p<0.01). 2. The amounts of maximum opening and mean velocity during unilateral chewing of TMD patients were less than those of normal persons(p<0.05) (P<0.01). 3. Although TMD patients showed limited mandibular movements during unilateral chewing, the consistency of mandibular movements was better than that of normal persons(p<0.05). 4. Both mandibular movement index and Helkimo's Clinical Dysfunction Index, were useful in diagnosing TMD patients.

The role of eccentric muscle activities in functional everyday activities and sport is important and equally significant to concentric conditions. Eccentric and concentric exercise and evaluation are, therefore, very important. The purposes of this study were to measure eccentric md concentric peak torgue, percentage of peak torque, average power and percentage of average power of trunk flexors and extensors by using the Cybex NORM isokinetic dynamometer, and to standardize the value obtained. Thirty four young volunteers were tested, 17 females and 17 males, who had no history of back pain or abnormality. Each subjects were tested on three repetitions for isokinetic concentric and eccentric contraction at 5 velocities. The results were as follows; 1) Peak torque percent body weight of eccentric contraction were significantly greater than concentric contraction at each angular velocity and in trunk flexors and extensors(p<0.01). 2) Peak torque percent body weight of concentric contraction were significantly decreased as the angular velocity increased both male and female(p<0.01). 3) Peak torque percent body weight of eccentric contraction were not significantly changed as the angular velocity increased both male and female(p<0.05), 4) Peak torque percent body weight of male were significantly greater than female at each angular velocity and in concentric and eccentric contraction of trunk flexors and extensors(p<0.01)

To investigate the behavior of reaction products with the reactor heights by the change of upflow velocity, a typical real height USAB reactor was built and experiment was conducted. The flow in the reactor by the upflow velocity was flug flow at low upflow velocity but the flow was completely mixed flow at high upflow velocity. Therefore, the concentration of pH, alkalinity and volatile acid was not so different with reactor heights at high upflow velocity. And comparing with low upflow velocity, the distribution of microorganisms with reactor heights did not show big different at high upflow velocity. The removal efficiency of organic compounds depended on the distribution of microorganisms and it was low at high upflow velocity. It is concluded that the operation of reactor with proper upflow velocity to improve contact with organic compounds and microorganisms is recommended.

Respiratory tubes with a length of 35mm and diameters of 10, 15, and 20mm were made for experimental purpose, and both the static$(P_s)\;and\;dynamic(P_D)$ pressures were simultaneously measured for steady flow rates ranging 1-12//sec. Least squares analysis resulted successful fitting of $P_s\;and\;P_D$ data with quadratic equations with correlation coefficients higher than 0.99(P<0.0001). The spirometric measurement standards of the American Thoracic Society(ATS) were applied to $P_s$ data, which demonstrated the smallest tube diameter of 15mm to satisfy the ATS standards. The maximum $P_D$ value of the velocity type transducer(the functional single use respiratory air flow tube) with the diameter of 15mm was estimated to be approximately $75cmH_2O$, implying more than 7 times larger sensitivity than the widely used pneumotachometers. These results showed that the velocity type respiratory air flow transducer is a unique device accomplishing miniaturization with the sensitivity increased, thus would be of great advantage to develop portable medical devices.

콘크리트 지반구조물의 건전성 평가에 사용되는 충격반향기법에서는 콘크리트의 P파 속도가 부재의 길이 및 결함의 위치를 찾는데 있어서 매우 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 충격반향기법을 현장에 적용시에는 코어를 채취하거나 정확한 두께를 아는 위치에서 콘크리트의 P파 속도를 구한 후 이를 부재의 대표값으로 사용하여 부재의 두께 및 결함을 탐지한다. 그러나 경우에 따라서는 코어를 채취할 수 없고 대형 구조물의 경우 위치에 따라 콘크리트의 P파속도가 달라질 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 표면파기법을 이용하여 시험이 수행되는 위치에서 완전 비파괴적으로 P파 속도를 구하여 충격반향기법에 적용하고자 하였다. 이와 같이 제안된 충격반향-표면파 병행기법의 적용성 연구를 위해 먼저 유한요소법을 이용한 수치해석적 연구의 결과를 본 논문에, 모형부재 제작을 통한 실험연구의 결과를 다음 동반 논문에 소개하고자 한다. 수치해석 연구를 다루는 본 논문에서는, 표면파기법으로부터 P파 속도 추정의 검증을 위해 상용프로그램 ABAQUS를 이용한 슬래브 형태의 구조물의 모델링을 통하여 해석을 수행하였다. 또한 콘크리트 와 다른 매질로 이루어진 이질 매질층과 여러 가지 결함 형태를 포함하는 콘크리트 슬래브에 대한 충격반향기법에 대한 수치해석을 수행하여 기법의 적용성을 검증하였다.

The quality of track-bed fills of railways has been controlled by field measurements of density (${\gamma}_d$) and the results of plate-load tests. The control measures are compatible with the design procedures whose design parameter is $k_{30}$ for both ordinary-speed railways and high-speed railways. However, one of fatal flaws of the design procedures is that there are no simple laboratory measurement procedures for the design parameters ($k_{30}$ or, $E_{v2}$ and $E_{v2}/E_{v1}$) in design stage. A new quality control procedure, in parallel with the advent of the new design procedure, is being proposed. This procedure is based upon P-wave velocity involving consistently the evaluation of design parameters in design stage and the field measurements during construction. The key concept of the procedure is that the target value for field compaction control is the P-wave velocity determined at OMC using modified compaction test, and direct-arrival method is used for the field measurements during construction. The procedure was verified at a test site and the p-wave velocity turned out to be an excellent control measure. The specifications for the control also include field compaction water content of $OMC{\pm}2%$ as well as the p-wave velocity.

Donghae City - Ulleung Island Line (DC-UI Line) is a representative line for underwater and geoacoustic modeling in the middle western East Sea. In this line, an integrated model of P-wave velocity is proposed for a low-frequency range target (<200 Hz), based on high-resolution seismic profiles (2 - 7 kHz sonar and air-gun), shallow and deep cores (grab, piston, and Portable Remote Operated Drilling), and outcrop geology (Tertiary rocks and the basement on land). The basement comprises 3 geoacoustic layers of P-wave velocity ranging from 3750 to 5550 m/s. The overlying sediments consist of 7 layers of P-wave velocities ranging from 1500 to 1900 m/s. The bottom model shows that the structure is very irregular and the velocity is also variable with both vertical and lateral extension. In this area, seabed and underwater acousticians should consider that low-frequency acoustic modeling is very range-dependent and a detailed geoacoustic model is necessary for better modeling of acoustic propagation such as long-range surveillance of submarines and monitoring of currents.

암석의 물리적 특성 변화에 대해 온도의 영향을 연구하기 위해 2종의 화강암류와 대리암, 사암을 전기로에서 $400^{\circ}C$와 $600^{\circ}C$로 가열하였다. 모든 시료에서 가열 후 물리적 특성(비중, 공극률, 흡수율, 초음파속도)과 색상 변화는 보이나, 편광현미경을 이용한 광물학적 변화는 뚜렷하지 않다. 특히 물리적 특성 변화에서 공극률과 흡수율은 증가하고, 비중과 초음파 속도는 감소하는 경향을 보이며, 온도가 증가할수록 변화폭은 크게 나타난다. 여기서 측정한 공극률은 암석의 전체 공극률을 반영하지 못하고 있으나 온도에 의한 암석의 표면 상태 변화를 반영한다 반면 초음파 속도는 암석의 전체적인 손상 정도를 파악하는데 유용하다. 그러므로 온도에 의한 암석의 물리적 특성 변화를 설명하기 위해 공극률과 초음파 속도는 상호 비교해야 한다.

Background: High-heeled shoes can change spinal alignment and feet movement, which leads to muscle fatigue and discomfort in lumbopelvic region, legs, and feet while walking. Objects: This study aimed to identify the effects of different shoe heel heights on the walking velocity and electromyographic (EMG) activities of the lower leg muscles during short- and long-distance walking in young females. Methods: Fifteen young females were recruited in this study. The experiments were performed with the following two different shoe heel heights: 0 cm and 7 cm. All participants underwent an electromyographic procedure to measure the activities and fatigue levels of the tibialis anterior (TA), medial gastrocnemius (MG), rectus femoris (RF), and hamstring muscles with each heel height during both short- and long-distance walking. The walking velocities were measured using the short-distance (10-m walk) and long-distance (6-min walk) walking tests. Results: Significant interaction effects were found between heel height and walking distance conditions for the EMG activities and fatigue levels of TA and MG muscles, and walking velocity (p<.05). The walking velocity and activities of the TA, MG, and RF muscles appeared to be significantly different between the 0 cm and 7 cm heel heights during both short- and long-distance walking (p<.05). Significant difference in the fatigue level of the MG muscle were found between the 0 cm and 7 cm heel heights during long-distance walking. In addition, walking velocity and the fatigue level of the MG muscle at the 7 cm heel height revealed significant differences in the comparison of short- and long-distance walking (p<.05). Conclusion: These findings indicate that higher shoe heel height leads to a decrease in the walking velocity and an increase in the activity and fatigue level of the lower leg muscles, particularly during long-distance walking.
