The purpose of this study was to determine if an 8-week therapeutic riding (TR) program was effective in improving the walking ability of students with intellectual disabilities. Thirteen students diagnosed with intellectual disabilities participated in the TR program. TR sessions were conducted twice a week (30 min per session), with a total of 16 rides taking place over an 8-week period. A gait measurement analyzer was used to measure progress based on a turn test (6-m walking and turning test), walk test (10-m walking), and timed up and go (TUG) test. Measurements were made three times: before horse-riding (P0), after 4 weeks (8 rides) of horse-riding (P1), and after 8 weeks (16 rides) of horse-riding (P2). Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software (ver. 22.0). Descriptive statistics were generated on the general characteristics of the subjects, and the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to verify the normality of the data. Because of the lack of normality, the data were analyzed using a nonparametric method and the significance level was set to 0.05. Measurements of the duration of the forward gait cycle (s) in the turn test and the forward gait speed (m/s) in the walk test indicated improved walking ability after the TR program (p < 0.001); the stride length (% height) also increased significantly (p < 0.05). The walk test revealed a significant effect of the program on the duration of the forward gait cycle (p < 0.05), while there were significant improvements on the left and right of the elaborated strides (p < 0.001). No significant improvement in TUG test performance was observed after the TR program. In this study, an 8-week TR program had positive results on gait. Therefore, further research is merited, where TR programs are likely to improve the walking ability of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

본 논문에서는 기존 TIGBT의 구조적 한계로 인한 순방향 전압강하와 스위칭 손실간의 트레이드-오프 관계를 극복하고, 좀 더 우수한 전기적 특성을 갖는 새로운 구조의 pMOS 삽입형 트렌치 TIGBT를 제안하였다. 제안된 구조는 TIGBT소자의 셀(Cell)과 셀 사이에 존재하는 폴리(poly) 게이트 영역에 pMOS를 형성시킨 구조로 n-드리프트 층으로의 전자, 정공의 주입효율을 증가시켜 기존 구조보다 더 낮은 온-저항과 빠른 스위칭 손실을 얻도록 설계된 구조이다. 시뮬레이션 결과 제안된 구조의 단일 소자인 경우 순방향 전압강하와 스위칭 특성은 각각 1.67V와 3.1us로, 기존 구조가 갖는 2.25V와 3.4us비해 각각 약 25%의 감소된 순방향 전압강하와 약 9% 감소된 스위칭 특성을 보였다.

Biomass of non-viable and dried brown marine algae Ecklonia radiata Turn. was used to examine Its cadmium uptake capability. Twelve different pretreatments on the algal biomass were prepared. Among these pretreatments, the algal biomass, which treated with 0.1 M NaOH and kept in water. bath (100$\^{C}$, 18 h) followed by washing with distilled water and squeezing, showed the highest amount of cadmium uptake as 1634 $\pm$ 195 mg/g dry biomass at pH 4.0 and 50$\^{C}$. Adsorption temperatures and pH levels played some Important role In cadmium uptake. However, cadmium uptake decreased dramatically at a lower pH than 4.0. Freundlich adsorption isotherm showed potent cadmium uptake capacity of the non-viable biomass. Pretreatments on the non-viable algal biomass shown in this study nay enhance the Eadmium removal in the industrial wastewater.

본 연구의 목표는 CuCl₂가 지브라피시에 미치는 영향을 조사하는 것이다. CuCl₂에 대한 지브라피시의 반수치사농도를 조사하기 위하여 각기 다른 시간에 따른 농도를 설정하여 노출시켰다. 본 연구에서는 스트레스 반응의 증가를 보기 위하여 whole-body cortisol level 측정과 행동약리학적 변화를 측정하기 위해서 open field test와 novel tank test를 실시하였다. Whole-body cortisol의 sample을 수집하거나 행동실험을 실시하기 전에 CuCl₂ 또는 vehicle을 1시간 동안 처리하였다. CuCl₂의 반수치사농도는 24시간, 48시간, 96시간에서 각각 30.3, 25.3, 14.8 ㎍/l으로 측정되었다. CuCl₂에 노출된 지브라피시의 novel tank test의 결과는 총 이동거리, 움직이는 시간 그리고 속도는 유의성이 있게 감소한 반면, turn angle은 최고농도에서 유의성이 있게 증가하였다(p<0.05). 다른 행동실험인 open field test의 결과에서도 총 이동거리, 움직이는 시간 속도가 CuCl₂의 노출에 의해서 감소하였으며, turn angle과 meandering이 유의하게 증가하였다(p<0.05). CuCl₂에 노출된 지브라피시의 whole-body cortisol은 1.5 or 15 ㎍/l의 농도에서는 유의하게 증가하였으나, 150 ㎍/l의 농도에서는 유의성 있는 변화를 발견하지 못하였다(p<0.05). 본 연구의 결과는 CuCl₂의 노출이 지브라피시에서 치사율 증가, 행동 및 내분비의 변화 등을 포함하는 독성 반응을 야기하는 것을 나타낸다.

히스토그램 H는 가장 왼쪽 수직 에지와 가장 오른쪽 수직 에지를 연결하는 기저라고 불리는 하나의 수평 에지를 가진 x-단조 직교 다각형이다. 여기서 직교 다각형은 수평과 수직 에지들만을 가진 다각형이고, x-단조 다각형 P는 x-축에 수직인 모든 직선이 P와 많아야 두 번 교차하는 성질을 만족하는 다각형이다. 히스토그램 H의 테두리 선을 따라 반시계방향으로 움직이면, 꼭짓점에서 왼쪽 회전과 오른쪽 회전의 수열을 얻는다. 역으로, 꼭짓점에서의 회전들로 이루어진 수열이 히스토그램에 의해서 구현될 수 있다. 이 논문에서 우리는 주어진 회전 수열을 구현하는 히스토그램을 찾는 문제를 다룬다. 특별히 면적을 최소화하는 히스토그램과 구속 상자를 최소화하는 히스토그램을 찾을 것이다. 두 문제 모두 선형 시간 알고리즘들에 의해 풀리는 것을 보일 것이다.

We tried to combine a transformer with a superconducting element and investigated the current limiting characteristics. When a superconducting element was connected to third winding of the transformer, the fault current was limited to about 90 % effectively. The fault current and consumption power were able to be controlled by the turn's ratio of secondary and third windings. It gives flexibility of the rating of a transformer in the power grid. As a result, power burden of a superconducting element was reduced by the decrease of turn's ratio in third winding of a transformer. It was because the voltage behavior of a superconducting element was dependent on turn's ratio of a transformer while the current characteristic was independent.

In this paper, an auto-diagnosis method of the stator winding fault for small induction motor is suggested. 3-phase stator currents are sampled, filtered, and transformed with Park's vector transformation. After then Park's vector patterns are obtained. To detect the stator winding fault automatically, a distortion ratio is newly defined and compared with the one of healthy motor, and the threshold levels of distortion ratio are suggested. The 2-turn, 4-turn, 8-turn winding fault are tested with no load, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% rated load. The distortion ratio of the Park's vector patterns are increased as the increase of the faulted turns, but are same as the increase of the load.

This paper describes the improvement in converter efficiency by reducing the switching loss and by recovering the snubber stored energy. A capacitive based passive regenerative snubber circuit is modeled for a dc-dc boost converter. The proposed snubber is mainly used to reduce the turn-off loss of the main switch. The energy recovery process and the turn-off loss depends on the size of the snubber capacitance; therefore, the conventional and the proposed converters are designed for high and low input voltage conditions with different sizes of the snubber capacitance. Based on the results obtained, the snubber capacitors are classified as small, normal and large snubbers. The Matlab simulation results obtained are presented.
