  • Anthropometric studies and multicultural research on body changes are fundamental and important data for domestic apparel industry and for globalization of women's clothing marketing. The objective of this study is to compare the general body measurements and shoulder angles of Korean and U. S. elderly women to supply basic data for the apparel design. The anthropometric data was collected including both direct and indirect measurements of 272 women over the age of 55 in Korean (subject = 123) and the U.S (subject = 149). The statistical methods used for the analysis of measurement data are the factor and cluster analysis respectively. The results of the factor analysis indicated that 5 factors can be extracted in Korean and 4 factors can be extracted in the U. S. from 15 body measurements to explain the variance. The results of cluster analysis by shoulder slope angle and forward displacement of the shoulder of Korean and the U. S. women classified them in three groups, cluster 1, cluster 2 and cluster 3 respectively.

  • A single particle analytical technique, called low-Z electron probe X-ray microanalysis (low-Z EPMA) was applied to characterize atmospheric particles collected in Busan, Korea, over a daytime period in Dec. 2001. The ability to quantitatively analyze the low-Z elements, such as C, N, and 0, in microscopic volume enables the low-Z EPMA to specify the chemical composition of individual atmospheric particle. Various types of atmospheric particles such as organics, carbon-rich, aluminosilicates, silicon oxide, calcium carbonate, iron oxide, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, and titanium oxide were identified. In the sample collected in Busan, sodium nitrate particles produced as a result of the reaction between sea salt and nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere were most abundantly encountered both in the coarse and fine fractions. On the contrary, original sea salt particles were rarely observed. The fact that most of the carbonaceous particles were distributed in the fine fraction implies that their origin is anthropogenic.

  • 병행 자바 프로그램의 슬라이싱 방법은 Jianjun Zhao에 의해 제안된 다중 쓰레드 종속성 그래프를 이용하여 Susan Horwitz, Thomas Reps, David Binkly가 제안한 2단계 마킹 알고리즘을 적용하여 슬라이스를 계산한다. 다중 쓰레드 종속성 그래프를 이용하는 방법은 쓰레드동기화 문장들 사이의 동기화 종속성과 서로 다른 쓰레드에 존재하는 공유객채들 사이의 통신 종속성 관계를 표현하여 병행 자바 프로그램의 슬라이스를 계산할 수 있는 것이다. 그러나 프로그램 종속성 그래프를 기반으로 하기 때문에 클래스 맴버 변수들에 대한 formal_in, formal_out, actual_in, actual_out정점들의 추가로 그래프의 복잡도가 증가하고 또한 부정확한 슬라이스 계산을 위한 다중 쓰레드 종속성 그래프를 개선하여 제안한다. 제안하는 개선된 다중 쓰레드 종속성 그래프는 주어진 슬라이싱 기준에 대한 2단계 마킹 알고리즘을 적용한 결과 정확한 슬라이스 계산과 복잡도 개선을 확인하였다.

  • The purpose of this study is the comparative analysis of Susan citizens' images of Eulsook-do as a coastal tourism destination before and after the construction of a road bridge across the Nakdong estuary in order to analyze local people's changes in leisure patterns. Analysis of the images of a pre-construction Eulsook-do that people aged both 40 and less and 50 and more had on five dimensions showed values higher than zero(0) that suggests neutral image, while their images of a post-construction Eulsook-do showed the shrinking size of pentagon on all five dimensions: ET(Entertainment), CA(Culture & Art), EE(Environment & Ecology), RC(Recreation) and LP(Leports) dimensions. Its pre- and post- construction image analysis conducted 20 years after it came to be built finds that the road bridge construction has led to the ecological, environmental disruption of the coast and the lower Nakdong river, having negative influence on the images of Eulsook-so.

  • This study is designed to investigate the characteristics of $PM_{10}$ concentration and the chemical composition of heavy metallic components in the $PM_{10}$ sampled in western Busan from March to May, 2003. $PM_{10}$measurement was done during springtime of 2003, totaling 29 days: 9 days in March, 10 days in April and 10 days in May. With a sampling time of 24 hours, it started 9:00 AM on that day and ended 9:00 AM the next day. The mean contribution ratio of soil during springtime was $10.3\%$. Al had a significant correlation with Ca, Fe, Mg and Si and little correlation with Na, Ni and Zn.

  • This paper introduces GP(Genetic Programming) based robust corner detectors for scaled and rotated images. Various empirical algorithms have been studied to improve computational speed and accuracy including approaches, such as the Harris and SUSAN, FAST corner detectors. These techniques are highly efficient for well-defined corners, but are limited to corner-like edges which are often generated in rotated images. It is very difficult to detect correctly edges which have characteristics similar to corners. In this paper, we have focused the above challenging problem and proposed Genetic Programming-based automated generation of corner detectors which is robust to scaled and rotated images. The proposed method is compared to the existing corner detectors on test images and shows superior results.

  • The performance of sound barriers was evaluated to determine their technical effectiveness and practicality in reducing noise exposures to operating engineers in construction. Commercially purchased sound dampening mats (SDMats) were installed inside three heavy-equipment engine compartments. Sound pressure levels (SPLs) were measured before and after installing the SDMats while the equipment was on idle and full-throttle settings where it normally operates. SPLs inside the heavy-equipment operator cabs were significantly reduced by 5.6-7.6 dBA on the full-throttle setting following installation of the SDMats (p < 0.01). The evaluated engineering control intervention was simple to install, affordable, and substantially reduced the engine noise reaching the heavy-equipment operator, potentially reducing reliance on hearing-protection devices to protect construction workers from noise exposures.

  • 연구목적: 본 연구는 미국 인디애나 주에 소재하는 중학교와 고등학교 학생들 사이의 methamphetamine, MDMA, GHB, and Rohypnol과 같은 약물사용 특성을 파악하고 청소년 약물사용과 관련된 성과 학교 환경에 대한 인지된 안전도 특성을 분석하였다. 연구방법: 본 분석에 사용된 데이터는 Indiana Prevention Resource Center (IPRC)에서 2007 년도에 수행한 음주, 흡연, 약물사용 설문조사(ATOD) 응답자료로서 인디애나 주에 거주하고 있는 6-12 학년 사이의 학생들을 편의추출하여 조사가 가능했던 158,632명의 응답을 얻었다. 연구결과: 로지스틱 회귀분석에서 조사한 4개 약물을 사용하는 학생들의 관심도는 교실에 있을 때, 복도에서 혼자 있을 때, 방과후 활동을 위해 학교에 남아있을 때 불안전하다고 느끼는 약물 미사용자보다 더 높은 경향을 보였다. GHB, MDMA, Rohypnol을 사용한다고 응답한 학생이 여자보다 남자에서 더 많았고 상관관계분석 결과, 메탐페타민을 비롯한 네 가지 약물 사용의 상호간 상관도가 모두 유의미하게 높았다.

  • 본 연구에서는 시판 중인 디바이스를 활용하여 외관에서는 기성복의 스타일을 유지하면서 기능성을 부여한 노년 여성을 위한 스마트 재킷을 개발하였다. 노년기에 접어들면서 시력은 약화되며 효과적인 체온조절도 저하된다. 이에 열과 빛의 기능을 제공하는 연구재킷을 제작하고 노년층 소비자들의 평가를 실시하여 그 수용가능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 재킷에 대한 만족도 평가는 전문가 외관 평가 및 소비자 착용 평가로 실시되었으며 재킷의 피트성, 활동성, 디바이스의 기능성, 수용 가능성 여부 등을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 전반적으로 높은 만족도를 보였으며 노년층에서도 충분히 미적요소와 기능성이 결합된 스마트 의류가 일상복으로 받아들여질 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 여전히 스마트 의류의 문제점 중의 하나인 디바이스의 무게를 경량화 할 수 있는 방법이 모색되어야 할 것으로 나타났으며, 이러한 결과가 노년층을 위한 스마트 의복의 가능성과 만족도 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하는 기초 자료가 되기를 바란다.
