Purpose : To compare the immediate effects of air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons. Methods : Twenty healthy young adults participated in this study. Forced vital capacity (FVC) and peak cough flow (PCF) tests were performed at pre-intervention, and then, the maximum insufflation capacity (MIC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, peak expiratory flow (PEF), and peak cough flow (PCF) were measured using the air stacking maneuver via resuscitator bags and balloons. Interventions were randomly performed, and a 40-min break was provided between interventions. The evaluation process in this study was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the American Thoracic Society (ATS) 2019. To compare the three outcomes measured at pre-and post-interventions, repeated measures analysis of variance was performed. Results : A significant difference was found in the MIC, FEV1, PEF, and PCF after the air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons, whereas no significant difference was observed between resuscitator bags and balloons. Conclusion : No significant difference was found in the immediate effect of the air stacking maneuver using resuscitator bags and balloons in this study. Air stacking maneuver using balloons can increase the success rate of the techniques by providing visual feedback on the amount of air insufflation when performed with balloon blowing exercise. Balloons are cheaper and easier to buy compared to manual resuscitator bags; therefore, education on the air stacking maneuver using balloons will have a positive effect on pulmonary rehabilitation.

Objective : To compare the anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and posterior cervical fusion (PCF) with wide facetectomy in the treatment of parallel-shaped bony foraminal stenosis (FS). Methods : Thirty-six patients underwent surgery due to one-or-two levels of parallel-shaped cervical FS. ACDF was performed in 16 patients, and PCF using CPS was performed in 20 patients. All patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Standardized outcome measures such as Numeric rating scale (NRS) score for arm/neck pain and Neck disability index (NDI) were evaluated. Cervical radiographs were used to compare the C2-7 Cobb's angle, segmental angle, and fusion rates. Results : There was an improvement in NRS scores after both approaches for radicular arm pain (mean change -6.78 vs. -8.14, p=0.012), neck pain (mean change -1.67 vs. -4.36, p=0.038), and NDI score (-19.69 vs. -18.15, p=0.794). The segmental angle improvement was greater in the ACDF group than in the posterior group (9.4°±2.7° vs. 3.3°±5.1°, p=0.004). However, there was no significant difference in C2-7 Cobb angle between groups (16.2°±7.9° vs. 14.8°±8.5°, p=0.142). As a complication, dysphagia was observed in one case of the ACDF group. Conclusion : In the treatment of parallel-shaped bony FS up to two surgical levels, segmental angle improvement was more favorable in patients who underwent ACDF. However, PCF with wide facetectomy using CPS should be considered as an alternative treatment option in cases where the anterior approach is burdensome.

Background: In modern society, the use of computers accounts for a large proportion of our daily lives. Although substantial research is being actively conducted on musculoskeletal diseases resulting from computer use, there has been a recent surge in interest in improving the working environment for prevention. Objects: This study aimed to examine the effects of posture correction feedback (PCF) on changes in neck posture and muscle activation during computer typing. Methods: The participants performed a computer typing task in two sessions, each lasting 16 minutes. The participant's dominant side was photographed and analyzed using ImageJ software to verify neck posture. Surface electromyography (EMG) was used to confirm the participant's cervical erector spinae (CES) and upper trapezius muscle activities. The EMG signal was analyzed using the percentage of reference voluntary contraction and amplitude probability distribution function (APDF). In the second session, visual and auditory feedback for posture correction was provided if the neck was flexed by more than 15° in the initial position during computer typing. A 20-minute rest period was provided between the two sessions. Results: The neck angle (p = 0.014), CES muscle activity (p = 0.008), and APDF (p = 0.015) showed significant differences depending on the presence of the PCF. Furthermore, significant differences were observed regarding the CES muscle activity (p = 0.001) and APDF (p = 0.002) over time. Conclusion: Our study showed that the feedback system can correct poor posture and reduces unnecessary muscle activation during computer work. The improved neck posture and reduced CES muscle activity observed in this study suggest that neck pain can be prevented. Based on these results, we suggest that the PCF system can be used to prevent neck pain.

편광유지 광결정 광섬유를 이용하여 무게센서를 제작하여 실험을 하였다. 본 논문의 센서시스템은 3 dB 커플러, 반파장판, 광원으로 구성되어진다. 무게가 편광유지 광결정 광섬유에 가해지면 파장이동을 측정한다. 센서감지부로 원형형태와 직선형태의 2 종류로 제작하여 특성을 조사하였다. 직선형태로 이루어진 센서의 감도는 680 pm/kg 였으며, 원형형태로 구성된 센서의 감도는 270 pm/kg 이었다. 두 가지 형태로 제작된 센서는 선형성이 좋았으며, 감도는 직선형태로 이루어진 센서가 좋음을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문은 현재 무선 LAN 환경에서 적용되고 있는 매체접근제어 프로토콜인 IEEE 802.11 CSMA/CA를 이용함으로써, 음성 위주의 항공이동통신에서 음성과 데이터 채널을 통합하여 사용하도록 하고 있다. 또한, 표준으로 제정되어 있는 기존의 CSMA/CA 매체접근제어 프로토콜에 대한 이해를 바탕으로 성능 개선 방안을 제안하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 채널 효율을 향상시켰다. IEEE 802.11 매체접근제어(MAC, Medium Access Control) 프로토콜은 데이터 유형에 따라 채널을 두 개의 구간(PCF와 DCF 구간)으로 나누어 전송하도록 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는, 데이터 유형별로 적용되는 구간 중, DCF 구간에서의 패킷간의 충돌 가능성을 줄임으로써 데이터 전송 효율을 높이는데 주안점을 두고 있다. 제안 방안으로는 경쟁 구간에서의 전송에서 충돌에 따른 손실을 보완할 수 있도록 Wireless Window Protocol(이하, WWP)을 적용한 후 전송 과정을 제어하였다. Hidden 터미널의 영향이 적으므로 가시권내 통신에 적합한 기존의 2-Way CSMA/CA 프로토콜을 항공통신에 적용하여 상태 천이 과정을 5개에서 6개로 세분화하였고, 주어진 확률에 의하여 나누어진 두 개의 그룹별로 상태 천이 과정을 다르게 적용하였다. 따라서, 채널이 한 항공기에 의해 점유되는 PCF를 제외한, DCF 구간에서의 데이터 전송 효율을 높일 수 있었다. 시뮬레이션은 채널 대역폭과 패킷 크기 등을 파라미터 값으로 하여 수행하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과 CSMA/CA에 비해 새로 제안한 알고리즘이 데이터 전송 과정에서 발생하는 충돌 가능성을 감소시킴으로써 성능이 향상됨을 알 수 있었다.

Frequency analysis is one of the most useful way to analyze response signal for the purpose of grasping the dynamic characteristics of system through Fourier transformation. Although it is very effective way for frequency analysis, it is hard to analyze out a specific sound or vibration component which is correlated with others. In this thesis, source contribution analysis tool for NI-PXI equipment is developed with LabVIEW using coherences of MISO(multiple-input single-output) model. For the purpose of examining propriety of developed tool, simulation is performed with several correlated signals that have different frequency range. After checking the OCF(ordinary coherence function) and PCF(partial coherence function) of the each signal for concerned frequency domain, an experiment is conducted on an evaporator that cause the principal noise of a refrigerator. This developed tool will be expected to build up more convenient and serviceable measurement system.

IEEE 802.11 WLAN의 MAC에서는 데이터 전송을 제어하기 위한 방법으로 DCF와 PCF를 사용하며, DCF는 CSMA/CA를 기반으로 BEB 백오프 알고리즘을 사용한다. BEB 백오프 알고리즘은 경쟁 스테이션이 적은 상황에서는 비교적 우수한 성능을 보이나 경쟁 스테이션의 수가 많은 경우 처리율, 지연 관점에서 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 패킷 전송 후 충돌이 발생하면 경쟁윈도우를 최대경쟁 원도우로 증가시키고 패킷의 정상적인 전송 후에는 경쟁윈도우를 서서히 감소함으로써 패킷 충돌 확률을 낮추는 백오프 알고리즘을 제안하고 이를 수학적으로 분석한다. 제안하는 알고리즘의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행하고 분석하였다.

Background: Progressive muscle weakness is aggravated not only in the skeletal muscles but also in the respiratory muscles in many patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been reported as therapy for pulmonary rehabilitation to improve respiratory strength, endurance, exercise capacity, and quality of life, and to reduce dyspnea. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of playing harmonica for 5 months on pulmonary function by assessing the force vital capacity (FVC), peak cough flow (PCF), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) in patients with NMD. Methods: Six subjects with NMD participated in this study. The subjects played harmonica once a week for 2 hours at a harmonica academy and twice a week for 1 hour at home. Thus, training was performed thrice a week for 23 weeks. The examiner assessed pulmonary function by measuring FVC in the sitting and supine positions and PCF, MIP, MEP, and MVV in the sitting position at the beginning of training and once a month for 5 months. Results: Both sitting and supine FVC significantly increased after playing harmonica (p=.042), as did MIP (p=.043) and MEP (p=.042). Conclusion: Playing harmonica can be used as an effective method to improve pulmonary function in patients with NMD.
