본 논문에서 맥파전달시간과 신체 특징 파라미터들을 이용하여 비침습적이고 연속적으로 혈압을 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하고 임상실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 맥파전달시간은 심전도와 광전용적맥파로부터 구한다. 맥파전달시간만 이용하여 개개인의 혈압을 측정하는 방법이 연구되었지만 이 방법은 모든 사람에게 적용 가능한 범용 회귀식을 도출하기 부족한 면이 있다. 이 연구에서 혈압과 관련되는 신체 특징 파라미터들과 맥파전달시간을 이용하여 모든 사람에게 적용 가능한 범용 회귀식을 도출하여 여러 사람들의 혈압을 측정하였다. 맥파전달시간만 이용하여 만든 회귀방법과 맥파전달시간과 신체 특징 파라미터들을 같이 이용하여 만든 회귀방법을 서로 비교 하였다. 실험 결과, 맥파전달시간과 신체 특징 파라미터를 이용하는 회귀방법이 여러 사람들의 혈압을 더 정확히 측정할 수 있다는 것을 알 수 있었고, American National Standards Institute of the Association of the Advancement of Medical Instrument(ANSI/AAMI)에 더 근접함을 알 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the temporo-spatial gait characteristics of healthy elderly people with those osteoarthritis patients. 100 patients reported knee osteoarthritis, diagnosed at the hospital or clinic located in Daegu and Kyungbuk province and 100 normal elderly subjects were participated in this study. Temporal and spatial parameters of gait were analysed for using the computerized GAITRite system. The system integrates specific components of locomotions to provide a single, numerical representation of gait, the Functional Ambulation Performance score. Differences in gait characteristics between the two groups were examined using a correlated t-test and Pearson Correlation(p<.05). Significant differences were observed between the groups for temporal parameters(step time, double support time, stance phase, mean velocity) and spatial parameters(step length, step/extremity ratio)(p<.05). Also there was difference in the functional ambulation performance score between normal elderly subjects and knee osteoarthritis patients(p<.05). Consequently, it may help detect the abnormal gait pattern indicated the main problem in degenerative knee osteoarthritis patients as well as provide data analysing the pathokinesiologic components by comparing normal elderly.

Purpose: New therapeutic approaches have emerged to improve gait ability in patients with brain damage, such as action observation learning (AOT), auditory cueing, motor imagery etc. We attempted to investigate the effects of AOT with auditory cueing (AOTAC) on gait function in patients with stroke. Methods: The eighteen stroke patients with a unilateral hemiparesis were randomly divided into three groups; the AOTAC, AOT, and control groups. The AOTAC group (n=8) received training via observing a video that showed normal gait with sound of footsteps as an auditory cue; the AOT group (n=6) receive action observation without auditory stimulation; the control group (n=5) observed the landscape video image. Intervention time of three groups was 30 minutes per day, five times a week, for four weeks. Gait parameters, such as cadence, velocity, stride length, stance phase, and swing phase were collected in all patients before and after each training session. Results: Significant differences were observed among the three groups with respect to the parameters, such as cadence, velocity, stride length, and stance/swing phase. Post-hoc analysis indicated that the AOTAC group had a greater significant change in all of parameters, compared with the AOT and control groups. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that AOTAC may be an effective therapeutic approach to improve gait symmetry and function in patients with stroke. We believe that this effect is attributable to the change of cortical excitability on motor related to cortical areas.

열융착법을 이용하여 보강과 배수기능을 가진 니들펀치 및 스펀본딩 부직포의 지오컴포지트를 제조하였다. 이 다층 부직포의 물성(인장, 인열 및 파영강도, 투수도 등)은 열융착법을 사용하여 제조될 경우 온도, 압력, 접착시간 등의 공정인자에 좌우된다. 따라서, 열융착법으로 제조된 지오컴포지트의 공정인자와 물성의 최적화는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 인공신경망(ANN)을 사용하여 지오컴포지트의 제조공정 최적화를 위한 알고리즘이 개발되었다. 지오컴포지트의 공정인자를 변화시켜 부직포 성능변화를 예측하기 위한 신경망 모사가 적용되었으며, 분석결과에 대한 제조방법의 효과를 조사하였다.

In this study, the mechanical joining process for double sheet metals was investigated by using physical modeling method. Process parameters of mechanical joining such as friction coefficient, drawing depth, pouch radius, die radius and material thickness are preliminarily analyzed by finite element method. Referring to the finite element analysis results mechanical joining system is designed on the basis of physical similarities. From the physical modeling test, the effect of process parameters on the deformation for the mechanical joining are experimentally investigated and optimized joining shape that can provide strong joining strength is obtained.

In the present work the influence of various physical parameters on the two-phase flow behavior in a self-heated porous medium has been studied using a numerical model, that is, the effects of heat generation rate, of porosity, of particle size, and of system pressure on the dryout process. To analyze the effect of these parameters, the variation of both liquid volumetric fraction (i.e., liquid saturation) and liquid axial velocity is evaluated at the steady state or at the onset of a first boiled-out region. The analysis of computational results indicate that a qualitative tendency exists between the parameters such as heat generation rate, porosity, effective particle diameter and the temporal development of the liquid volumetric fraction field up to dryout. In addition to these parameters, a variation of fluid properties such as phase density, phase viscosity due to a change of system pressure can be used for gaining insight into the nature of two-phase flow behavior up to dryout.

The objective of this study is to propose a simple and accurate analytical model for HSS braces. For this purpose, a physical theory model is adopted. Rectangular hollow section steel (HSS) braces are considered in this study. To accurately simulate the cyclic behavior of braces using the physical theory model, empirical equations calculating constituent parameters are implemented on the analytical model, which were proposed in the companion paper. The constituent parameters are cyclic brace growth, cyclic buckling load, and the incidence of local buckling and fracture. The analytical model proposed in this study was verified by comparing actual and simulated cyclic curves of brace specimens. It is observed that the proposed model accurately simulates the cyclic behavior of the braces throughout whole response range.

We present physical parameters of the detached eclipsing binary KIC3858884, which has a d-Scuti type pulsating secondary component. To derive orbital elements from radial-velocity curve, high-resolution Echelle spectra were obtained at the Bohyunsan Optical Astronomy Observatory in Korea. The BOES spectra and Kepler photometric data were analyzed with JKTEBOP and Wilson-Devinney model for eclipsing light-curve synthesis and Period04 for pulsation frequency analysis. After the iterative curve fitting, we determined physical parameters of KIC3858884 as $M_1=2.02{\pm}0.23M_{\odot}$, $M_2=2.02{\pm}0.16M_{\odot}$, $R_1=3.61{\pm}0.12R_{\odot}$, $R_2=2.84{\pm}0.10R_{\odot}$, respectively.

Objective: This study was conducted to analyze the effect of wearable Electromyography-controlled functional electrical stimulation (EMG-controlled FES) System on Gait Function and cardiopulmonary metabolic efficiency during walking in older adults. Design: Cross-section study Methods: Total 22 older adult participants suitable to selection criteria of this study participated in this study. The EMG-controlled FES System, which functions as a wearable physical activity assist FES system was used. All participations performed randomly assigned two conditions (Non-FES assist [NFA], FES assist [FA]) of walking. In all conditions, spatio-temporal parameters and kinematics and kinetics parameters during walking was collected via 3D motion capture system and 6 minutes walking test (6MWT) and metabolic cost during walking and stairs climbing was collected via a portable metabolic device (COSMED K5, COSMED Srl, Roma, Italy). Results: In Spatio-temporal parameters aspects, The EMG-controlled FES system significantly improved gait functions measurements of older adults with sarcopenia at walking in comparison to the NFA condition (P<0.05). Hip, knee and ankle joint range of motion increased at walking in FA condition compared to the NFA condition (P<0.05). In the FA condition, moment and ground reaction force was changed like normal gait during walking of older adults in comparison to the NFA condition (P<0.05). The EMG-controlled FES system significantly reduced net cardiopulmonary metabolic energy cost, net energy expenditure measurement at stairs climbing (P<0.05). Conclusions: This study demonstrated that EMG-controlled FES is a potentially useful gait-assist system for improving gait function by making joint range of motion and moment properly.
