In order to seek various relationships among many design parameters employed in the design of the axial-flow fans the program which generates acoustic spectrum has been developed and its validity verified. Outputs of the program, with other outputs from a formerly developed performance prediction program, have been used to form a multi-objective function, for which an optimal design process was carried out. The present analysis shows that overall noise level and efficiency has contrasting trends, and the chord length turns out to be the most critical design variable. In the chosen design case of requirements $Q=2000m^2/min$, ${\Delta}P_s=67mmAq$, D=1.4m, the chord length of 0.2059m minimizes the overall noise level, while chord length of 0.1254m maximizes the efficiency. The resulting chord length in the balanced optimization is 0.1809m.

Purpose: The present study was conducted in order to examine claustrophobia, noise sensitivity and vital signs according to anxiety sensitivity level in patients who have Magnet Resonance Imaging(MRI). Methods: With 100 outpatients, we measured anxiety sensitivity, claustrophobia, noise sensitivity and vital sign before and after MRI. Measuring tools were ASI, CLQ-M, and NSI. Data were collected from February to March, 2008. Results: The ASI score was higher in women than in men(p < .05), and no statistically significant difference was observed according to age, region of scanning, experience in MRI, and the use of contrast agent. Both men and women patients showed the same ASI score and decrease in CLQ M and NSI between before and after MRI. In women, ASI, CLQ M and NSI were in positive correlation with one another(p < .001), and in men, there was no correlation between ASI and CLQ M, and positive correlation was observed with NSI(p < .05). In comparison according to ASI level, blood pressure and pulse rate were not different in men and women. CLQ M was not different in men, but was different in women(p < .001). NSI was different in both men and women(men p < .05; women p < .001). Conclusion: MRI may cause claustrophobia in patients with high anxiety sensitivity, and noise appears to aggravate anxiety. In particular, claustrophobia was more serious in women than in men. Therefore, it is necessary to develop nursing interventions to reduce anxiety sensitivity particularly for female patients, and to make plans to educate and lower noise before MRI in order to reduce claustrophobia.

The environment in the ICU leads to negative changes in a patient's usual sleep pattern and so contributes negatively to the patient's health condition as compared to patients in general wards. Therefore, it is thought that an important nursing intervention would be to identify the relation between noise and sleep patterns which play an important role in illness recovery. The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between noise in the ICU and the sleep pattern of patients admitted to the ICU. A descriptive correlation design was used to examine the relationship. Thirty-four subjects were recruited from a Medical ICU (MICU), Surgical ICU (SICU) and Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at a large university hospital in Suwon. Data were collected from September 28 to October 31 in 1999. In the present study, noise was categorized into noise level and patients' perception of noise. The objective noise level was measured using the A-Weighted Sound Level Meter. The patients' preception of noise was measured using a self-reported questionnaire developed by the researcher. Sleep patterns in this study includes both quantity and quality of sleep. These were measured using open ended questionnaires and the 'Korean Sleep Scale A' developed by Oh, Song, Kim(1998). The data was analyzed using the SPSS-WIN to test the research question, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient was run. Ancillary analysis were conducted with demographic variables to determine their relation to the main study variables. For the ancillary analysis, t-test and one-way ANOVAs were performed. The results of the present study are summerized as follows : 1. The total mean of objective noise level (10pm-6am) was 56.2dB. The means for night time noise level in individual ICUs for the SICU, MICU and CCU, were 58.7dB, 58.6dB and 48.3dB, respectively. The total mean for patients' noise perception was 42.8 out of a maximum possible score of 76. For item means of noise perception, the one ranked highest was "conversations between doctors and nurses" (3.2). The one ranked lowest was "noise from the radio" (1.2). Regarding the degree of perception for each type of noise source, the one ranked highest was "equipment noise" (2.6), the second was "conversation between medical staff" (2.4), the third was "conversation between patients, caregivers and visitors" (2.3), and the one ranked lowest was "environment noise" (1.8). 2. Looking at quantity of sleep of ICU patients, the mean nocturnal sleep time was found to be 4.9 hours. The total mean of sleep quality for ICU patients was 21.0 out of a maximum possible score of 40. 3. The relationship between perception of noise and quantity of sleep was statistically significant(r= - .41, p<.05). The relationship between perception of noise and quality of sleep was also statistically significant(r= - .47, p<.01). The results of the study indicate that personal perception of noise is related to sleep patterns. Therefore, it is suggested that nursing interventions be developed to reduce the degree of personal perception of noise and, thus, decrease sleep pattern disturbances in patients in the ICU.

An experimental and numerical approach has been carried out to characterize the noise and the safety of circular diamond saw with chinks by laser-cutting. The sound pressure level of a circular diamond saw with chinks was measured when cutting workpieces. Therefore, frequency analysis results show us that the sound level was reduced as position of chinks approach to out-diameter. But the safety of circular diamond saw was lower due to the stress concentrated at the edge of chinks while cutting workpieces. FEM analysis was used for safety evaluation with the variation position of chinks. The noise characteristics of circular diamond saw were also estimated during cutting test.

This study examines the effects of different environments on the application of hemiplegia patients circuit balance training. Group 1 performed circuit balance training without any auditory intervention Group 2 performed training in noiseless environments and Group 3 performed training in white noise environments. First, among lower extremity muscular strength evaluation items, maximum activity time(MAT) was not significantly different(p>.05). Maximum muscle strength(MMS) increased significantly in Group 3(p<.01), there was no significant difference in MMS among the groups. Average muscle strength(AMS) indexes also significantly increased in Group 3(p<.01), there was no significant difference in AMS among the groups. Second, among balancing ability evaluation items, Berg's balance scale(BBS) scores significantly increased in all groups(p<.05), BBS scores were significantly difference among the groups. Based on the results, Group 1, 2 and Group 1, 3 showed significant increases (p<.05). Functional reach test(FRT) values significantly increased in Group 2, 3(p<.05), and there was no significant difference in FRT values among the groups. Timed up and go(TUG) test values significantly decreased in Group 2, 3(p<.05), and there was no significant difference in TUG test values among the groups. Third, among walking speed evaluation items, the time required to walk 10m significantly decreased in all groups(p<.05), and there was no significant difference in the values among the groups. Average walking speeds showed significant increases in Group 1, 3(p<.05), and there was no significant difference in the values among the groups. Based on the results of this study, noise environments should be improved by either considering auditory interventions and noiseless environments, or by ensuring that white noise environments facilitate the enhancement of balancing ability.

Active noise control (ANC) is a method of cancelling a noise signal in an acoustic cavity by generating an appropriate anti-noise signal via canceling loudspeakers. The continuous progress of ANC involves the development of improved adaptive signal processing algorithms, transducers, and DSP hardware. In this paper, the convergence behavior and the stability of the FxLMS algorithm in ANC systems with real-time implementation is proposed. Specially, The advanced DSP H/W with dual core(DSP+ARM) and API(application programming interface) S/W programming was developed to improve the real-time implementation performance under the FxLMS algorithms of input noise such as road noise environment. The experimental results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions.

본 연구는 치과병원에서 발생하는 진료시(스케일링, 치아절삭) 및 비진료시(기기만 가동) 가동되는 치료기기의 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향 정도를 파악하기 위하여 NR 평가방법으로 분석하였으며 치과위생사의 기기소음에 대한 반응을 설문조사를 통하여 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 치과병원 기기의 진료 시 및 비진료 시의 주파수 특성의 경우 고주파로 갈수록 소음도가 높게 나타났으며 발생소음도의 대부분이 고주파 성분(4 KHz이상)에 의하여 영향을 받고 있으며 발생하는 소음레벨 dB(A)의 범위는 67.7~78.3 dB(A)로 치과위생사의 소음피해가 예상되는 수준으로 소음 영향을 최소화하기 위한 대책이 시급하다고 사료된다. 2. 치과병원에서 발생하는 소음에 대한 반응을 조사한 결과 응답자의 57.8%가 "왠지 불안하게 된다"라고 응답하였으며 치과위생사 경력이 5년 이하이고 30세 이하인 경우에는 "왠지 불안하게 된다", 경력이 5년 이상이고 31세 이상인 경우에는 "아무렇지도 않다"라고 응답한 비율이 높게 나타난 것으로 조사되었다(p<0.05, p<0.01). 이는 발생소음레벨이 소음이 인체에 미치는 영향에서 "청력손실의 발생 시작" 수준으로 경력과 연령이 많을수록 그만 큼 소음에 만성적으로 노출된 결과로 판단된다. 3. NR곡선에 의한 평가 결과 스케일링 치료를 할 경우 NR-78, 치아 삭제 시 NR-77, 기기만 가동 되는 경우 NR-67로 나타나 작업장의 소음기준을 훨씬 초과하는 수준임을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 스케일링 치료시 소음피해를 최소화하기 위해서 4 kHz이상의 고주파대역을 제어할 수 있는 방음대책을 수립하여 치과 위생사에게 미치는 소음에 대한 영향을 줄일 필요가 있는 것으로 판단된다. 4. 소음으로 인하여 발생되는 제반 문제와 병원환경만족 등의 변수에 대한 상관관계 분석결과 기기에서 발생하는 소음으로 인하여 기분이 거슬리게 되면 환자에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하는 경우의 상관계수가 0.677로 유의미한 정적 상관관계(p<0.01), 치과위생사의 "병원환경만족도"와 "환자들로부터 기기소음에 대한 불평을 듣는" 항목에서 -0.595, "기기발생 소음으로 피곤을 느낀다" 항목에서 -0.343으로 유의미한 부정적 상관관계(p<0.01)를 보이고 있었다. 5. 소음에 노출되어 기분 거슬림이나 피곤을 느끼게 되면 진료결과를 충분히 설명하지 못하게 되고 병원이 소란할수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되어 치과병원의 기기소음에 대한 적절한 대책 수립이 필요하며 이를 통하여 치과종사자의 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공, 치과병원의 경쟁력 제고 측면에서 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다 치과 병원 기기에서 발생하는 소음이 치과위생사들에게 미치는 영향정도를 파악하고자 소음특성을 측정 및 설문 조사를 통하여 분석한 결과 기기발생 소음특성이 치과위생사에게 기분이 거슬리거나 피로를 느끼게 하는 수준이며 이로 인하여 환자들에게 진료결과를 충분히 설명하려는데 지장을 받고 있으며 병원이 시끄럽다고 느낄수록 병원환경만족도가 낮은 것으로 조사되었다. 치과위생사에 대한 적절한 방음대책(방음보호구 제공, 저소음 저진동 장비의 선택, 마스킹 효과 등)을 수립하여 쾌적한 근무여건을 제공하므로써 치과위생사들의 병원환경 만족도를 향상시켜 치과의료 서비스의 질 및 경쟁력 향상이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
