Heat conductivity, height, size, elasticity of pillow, stability of shape, hygroscopicity, ventilation, temperature and easy movability, and so on, are considered to be some of major conditions that affect the comfortable sleep. Considering those factors together, the thermal properties, height, shape and feeling of touch, etc, of pillow must be taken into account. Though studies have been conducted to figure out the physical properties of mattress or pillows from the perspective of factors related to the environment of sleep, they are not enough to be used as an index to evaluate the qualitative aspect of sleep. This study tries to consider the effect of pillow filling materials on the comfortable sleep, for which EEG, ECG, EOG, EMG, RT, etc, are to be measured in an attempt to provide the basic data required in proposing the condition that may lead to a sound and comfortable sleep. Three types of pillows that are sold in the market were used for this research in order to evaluate the quality of sleep depending on the filling materials of pillow. All data were statistically processed and the following conclusions were drawn. It was found that the pillow with feathers provided the best comfort as the pillow A turned out to have the shortest sleeping latency(SL) from the perspective of comfort. The pillow B which used the polyethylene is deemed to be suitable for fatigue relieving purpose as it turned out to have the highest slow wave sleep(SWS), but no statistically significant difference was validated. Moreover, the pillow C which used the natural wool was found to have the narrowest contacting area of the pillow and head and provide a great warm heat comfort that may led to a sound sleep because the temperature below the pillow took the longest time to rise.

The spatial variation characteristics of seismic motions at the nuclear power plant's site and structures were analyzed using earthquake records obtained at the Fukushima nuclear power plant during the Great East Japan Earthquake. The ground responses amplified as they approached the soil surface from the lower rock surface, and the amplification occurred intensively at about 50 m near the ground. Due to the soil layer's nonlinear characteristics caused by the strong seismic motion, the ground's natural frequency derived from the response spectrum ratio appeared to be smaller than that calculated from the shear wave velocity profile. The spatial variation of the peak ground acceleration at the ground surface of the power plant site showed a significant difference of about 0.6 g at the maximum. As a result of comparing the response spectrums at the basement of the structure with the design response spectrum, there was a large variability by each power plant unit. The difference was more significant in the Fukushima Daiichi site record, which showed larger peak ground acceleration at the surface. The earthquake motions input to the basement of the structure amplified according to the structure's height. The natural frequency obtained from the recorded results was lower than that indicated in the previous research. Also, the floor response spectrum change according to the location at the same height was investigated. The vertical response on the foundation surface showed a significant difference in spectral acceleration depending on the location. The amplified response in the structure showed a different variability depending on the type of structure and the target frequency.

본 논문에서는 파랑이 존재할 때 모래결위에서의 흐름과 부유사의 거동에 관하여 기술한다. 새로운 수치모형시스템을 구축하였으며 이를 규칙파랑을 이용한 기존 실험실 실험조건과 가상적불규칙파랑조건에 적용하였다. 흐름장 계산은 SMAC 방법에 근거한 프로그램 SOLA를 Kim 등(1994)이 일부 수정하여 제시한 프로그램을 사용하였다. 흐름계산 부모형은 x-z 면에서의 연속방정식과 Reynolds의 운동방정식을 기본방정식으로 한다. 흐름부모형으로 파랑궤적도, 전단응력, 압력의 분포를 계산하였다. 모형실험결과 중 수직방향궤적도는 관측자료와 잘 일치하였다. 퇴적물이동 부모형은 부유사의 이류확산을 나타내는 식을 기본방정식으로 한다. 수치기법은 분리기법을 이용하며, 모래결 표면으로부터 퇴적물이 연행되어 유체내로 투입된다. 규칙파랑 실험조건에 수치모형을 적용한 결과, 부유사농도의 연직분포가 Deltaflume의 실험자료와 유사하게 재현되었다. 가상적인 불규칙 파랑조건에 모형을 적용한 결과 부유사농도의 높게, 부유사확산 범위가 더 넓게 예측되었다.

Marine casualities in the high sea are mainly classified into the breakage of hull and capsize , of which the latter occurs frequently to a small craft and container vessels by extreme rolling. The aim of this study is to develop shiphandling techniques for the prevention of ship's large rolling by way of evaluating dangerous degree of rolling in heavy weather. In this study, rolling motion is analized by using statistical method as follow : (1) 8 sample ships is presented for calculation. (2) Analized sea state are Beaufort scale 7 and 10 (wind velocity 30kts and 50kts respectively) and significant wave height is put as 5.2m and 11.2m. (3) The formula recommended by International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) is used to calculated the wave spectrum. The results of this study are as follow : The results of this study are as follow : (1) Most of the vessels with beam of 20 meters or less was found to be capized in the waves abeam under the sea condition of Bearfort scale7(30kts). (2) For the vessels range 20m to 30m was found safe under the sea conditions of Bearfort scale 7(30kts) and imminent danger under the sea condition of Beaufort scale 11(50kts). (3) It is proved that any vessel could be capsized by heavy rolling regardless of vessel's size whenever the motion is synchronized with waves abeam. This study concludes that the navigator, especially at night , must anticipate the exact wave direction, referring to the wether report and coastaline, not to lay the vessel in the serial wave abeam.

Maritime activities are on the rise, there is a growing demand for high-quality communication services that can cover larger areas. However, the transmission of high data rates to maritime users is challenging due to path loss from land base stations, which limits the transmission power. To overcome this challenge, researchers have been exploring the use of buoys in a marine environment as relays for communication technology. This paper proposes a simulation-based approach to investigate the impact of various beamwidths on communication performance when using a buoy as a relay. The objective is to determine the optimal beamwidth that yields the highest data rate for the target location. The approach is based on an offshore wave model where the direction of the buoy changes according to the height of the wave. The study investigates the performance of the relay in the downlink situation using receive beamforming, and the capacity at the user in the three-hop situation is verified using an amplify-and-forward (AF) relay that uses transmit beamforming to the user. The simulation results suggest that the beamwidth of the relay should be adjusted according to the wave conditions to optimize the data rate and relay position that satisfies a data rate superior to the direct path to the target position. Using a buoy as a relay can be a promising solution for enhancing maritime communications, and the simulation-based approach proposed in this paper can provide insights into how to optimize beamwidth for effective communication system design and implementation. In conclusion, the study results suggest that the use of buoys as relays for maritime communication is a feasible solution for expanding coverage and enhancing communication quality. The proposed simulation-based approach provides a useful tool for identifying relay beamwidths for achieving higher data rates in different wave conditions. These findings have significant implications for the design and deployment of communication systems in maritime environments.

급격한 기후 변화와 해양 온난화에 의해 지난 수십 년 동안 파고의 변동성이 증가하였다. 상위 1% (또는 5%) 파고와 같은 극한 파고는 국지적인 해역 뿐만 아니라 전 지구 대양에서도 평균 파고에 비해 현저하게 증가하였다. 1991년부터 인공위성 고도계를 활용하여 유의파고를 지속적으로 관측하고 있으며 통계적 기법을 기반으로 100년 빈도 유의파고를 추정하기에 비교적 충분한 자료가 축적되었다. 이어도 해양과학기지에서 유의파고 극값을 추정하기 위하여 2005년부터 2016년까지 위성 고도계 자료를 활용하였다. 대표적인 극값 분석 방법인 Initial distribution Method (IDM)와 Peak over Threshold (PoT)를 위성 도고계 유의파고 관측 자료에 적용하고 이어도 해양과학기지에서 관측된 실측자료와 비교하였다. 이어도 해양과학기 관측 자료에 IDM과 PoT 기법을 적용하여 추정된 100년 빈도 유의파고는 각각 8.17 m와 14.11 m이며, 인공위성 고도계 관측 자료를 활용하였을 때는 각각 9.21 m와 16.49 m이었다. 관측 최대값과의 비교 분석에서 IDM을 활용한 분석은 유의파고 극값을 과소추정 하는 경향을 보였다. 이는 IDM 보다 PoT 기법이 유의파고의 극값을 적절하게 추정하고 있음을 의미한다. PoT 기법의 우수성은 높은 유의파고가 발생하는 태풍의 영향을 받는 이어도 해양과학기지 실측 자료를 활용한 결과에서도 증명되었다. 또한 PoT 기법으로 추정된 유의파고 극값의 안정성은 고도계 자료의 감소에 따라 저하될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 인공위성 고도계 자료를 활용하여 유의파고 극값 추정시 발생할 수 있는 한계점과 인공위성 자료를 검증할 수 있는 자료로써 이어도 해양과학기지 관측 자료의 중요성에 대하여 논의하였다.

This study presents a dual-band 3D frequency selective surface that provides a large degree of freedom in frequency and bandwidth adjustability. The proposed structure is evaluated in terms of its structural parameters, and prototypes are fabricated. The radius of the copper rings and the height of the cylinders are considered, and are shown through full-wave electromagnetic simulations to have a significant effect on the frequency characteristics of the frequency selective surface. The measurement results of the fabricated samples are compared with the simulation results, and a satisfactory agreement is obtained.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the impact shock wave and its attenuation, and the kinematic response of the lower extremity's joints to the impact shock during downhill running in which the lower extremity's extensor acts dominantly. For this study, fifteen subjects(mean age:$27.08{\pm}4.39$; mass:$76.30{\pm}6.60$; height:$177.25{\pm}4.11$) were required to run on the 0% grade treadmill and downhill grades of 7%, and 15% in random at speed of their preference. When the participant run, acceleration at the tibia and the sacrum and kinematic data of the lower extremity were collected for 20s so as to provide at least 5 strides for analysis at each grade. Peak impact accelerations were used to calculate shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum in time domain at each grade. Fast Fourier transformation(FFT) and power spectral density(PSD) techniques were used to analyze impact shock factors and its attenuation in the frequency domain. Joint coordinate system technique was used to compute angular displacement of the ankle and knee joint in three dimension. The conclusions were drawn as fellows: 1. Peak impact accelerations of the tibia and sacrum in downhill run were greater than that of 0% grade run, but no significant between conditions. Peak shock of PSD resembled also in pattern of peak impact acceleration. The wave of impact shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum decreased with increasing grade, but didn't find a significant difference between grade conditions. 2. Adduction/abduction, flexion/extention, and internal/external rotation of the ankle and knee joints at support phase between grade conditions didn't make much difference. 3. At grade of 7% and 15%, there were relationship between the knee of the flexion/extension movement and peak impact acceleration during heel strike and found also it in the ankle of plantar/dorsiflexion at grade of 15%.

본 논문에서는 Korteweg de Vries(이하 KdV)방정식의 골격내에서 천해의 풍파의 수치모형요구조건에 대한 토의를 수행하였다. KdV식을 실험자료를 포함하는 발달된 해상상태, 비정상적 풍파와 나블상황에 적용시의 비선형성과 분산성의 취약점을 논하였다. 최극해파통계의 충분한 평가를 위해서는 파고기록이 적어도 10.000개 정도의 해파를 다루어야 하는데 이는 숫적으로 다루기 힘들다. 따라서 유의파의 2-2.3배에 상응하는 최극해파의 통계적 특성을 효과적으로 평가할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하는 불규칙해파의 수치적 모형을 제시하였다.

해안선에 비스듬히 입사하는 다방향 불규칙파랑은 굴절에 의해 방향 비대칭성이 발생한다. 방향 비대칭은 최대 방향분포 매개변수($s_{max}$)와 연관된 비대칭 매개변수의 항으로 표현된다. 본 연구에서는 심해에서 다양한 주파향각과 최대 방향분포 매개변수 등의 특징을 갖는 다방향 불규칙파랑에 대해 수심 변화에 따른 비대칭 매개변수와 최대 방향분포 매개변수의 변화를 계산하였다. 계산 값들은 파랑의 방항 비대칭성을 무시한 Goda and Suzuki(1975)에 의한 결과와는 다르다. 비대칭 매개변수와 최대 방향분포 매개변수의 계산을 위해 JONSWAP 스펙트럼(Hasselmamn et al., 1973)과 Lee et al.(2010)의 방향 분포 함수를 사용하였다. 계산 과정과 결과들은 일반화를 위해 심해에서의 유의파고, 첨두주기, 첨두주기에 해당하는 파장 등으로 무차원화 하였다.
