  • This presents the preliminary results from work in progress of a paired study of the acquisition of voiceless stops by Spanish speakers learning English, and American English speakers learning Spanish. For this study the hypothesis was that the American speakers would have no difficulty suppressing the aspiration in Spanish unaspirated stops; the Spanish speakers would have difficulty acquiring the aspiration necessary for English voiceless stops, according to Eckman's Markedness Differential Hypothesis. The null hypothesis was proved. All subjects were given the same set of disyllabic real words of English and Spanish in carrier phrases. The tokens analyzed in this report are limited to word-initial voiceless stops, followed by a low back vowel in stressed syllables. Tokens were randomized and then arranged in a list with the words appearing three separate times. Aspiration was measured from the burst to the onset of voicing(VOT). Both the first language (Ll) tokens and second language (L2) tokens were compared for each speaker and between the two groups of language speakers. Results indicate that the Spanish speakers, as a group, were able to reach the accepted target language VOT of English, but English speakers were not able to reach the accepted range for Spanish, in spite of statistically significant changes of p<.OOl by speakers in both groups of learners. A closer analysis of the speech samples revealed wide variability within the speech of native speakers of English. Not only is variability in English due to the wide range of VOT (120 msecs. for English labials, for example) but individual speakers showed different patterns. These results are revealing for the demands requied in experimental designs and the number of speakers and tokens requied for an adequate description of different languages. In addition, a simple report of means will not distinguish the speakers and the respective language learning situation; measurements must also include the RANGE of acceptability of VOT for phonetic segments. This has immediate consequences for the learning and teaching of foreign languages involving aspirated stops. In addition, the labelling of spoken language in speech technology is shown to be inadequate without a fuller mathematical description.

  • 급성 스트레스 상황에 따른 Type D 성격의 자율신경계 반응을 심박률 변동성을 중심으로 조사하였다. Type DS-14의 점수에 근거하여 Type D 집단(n=23명)과 non-Type D 집단(n=23명)을 구성하였다. 심박률 변동성(heart rate variability, HRV)을 이용하여 기저선, 스트레스 단계 및 회복 단계 동안의 심박활동을 측정하였으며 스트레스 과제로는 Stroop 색채단어 검사가 사용되었다. 반복측정 변랑분석을 통해 두 집단의 심박활동을 비교하였으며, 회귀분석을 통해 Type D 척도와 스트레스 취약성 척도가 기저선 상태에서의 심박활동의 변화를 예측할 수 있는지를 알아보았다. 연구 결과, Type D 집단은 non-Type D 집단보다 고주파수(high frequency, HF) 활성화가 더 낮았고 저주파수(low frequency, LF) 활성화는 더 높았다. 스트레스 과제 수행 시, non-Type D 집단에서는 교감신경계 활성화 지표(LF component, LF/HF)가 증가하고 부교감신경계 활성화 지표(HF component)가 감소하는 것이 관찰된 반면, Type D 집단에서는 심박활동 비율상의 유의한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 또한, Type D 척도의 총점수, 부정적 정서 소척도와 사회적 억제 소척도는 기저선 상태에서의 심박활동 반응에 대한 유의한 예측인자로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 Type D 성격이 non-Type D 성격에 비해 교감신경계 활성화 비율이 높거나 또는 부교감신경계 활성화비율이 낮음을 시사한다. 즉, Type D가 스트레스에 취약한 성격임을 시사하며, Type D에서 관찰된 심박 활동 양상, 즉 높은 교감신경계 혹은 낮은 부교감신경계 활성화는 Type D 성격이 심장혈관 장애 등을 포함한 정신신체 질환과 관련될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • 일상생활에서 경험하는 다양한 사건들은 모두 스트레스인자로 작용하여 이에 대한 대처가 부적절하면 인체의 항상성이 파괴되어 정신 및 신체질환의 발생에 영향을 주며 인체의 면역반응에 부정적인 영향을 주어 질병에 대한 대처능력을 떨어뜨려 다양한 만성질환에 대한 감수성을 높일 수 있다. 스트레스에서 내분비학적 및 생화학적 반응을 이용하는 근거는 신체 대부분의 시스템이 스트레스 중 변화하고 이런 변화를 나타내는 생물학적 지표가 스트레스와 관련된다는 근거에 의해 신체적 반응에 대한 생화학적 반응으로서 스트레스 호르몬인 코티졸 측정과 생리적인 스트레스반응으로서 여러 가지의 생리신호 중에 혈압(blood pressure)과 심박변이도(heart rate variability, HRV)를 측정하여 스트레스 반응 수준을 측정하여 상관관계를 분석하였다. 전체 94명의 피실험 대상자의 혈청 코티졸의 농도는 평균 11.22 ng/mL 이었고 최저 3.6ng/mL에서 최고 23.3 ng/mL의 분포를 나타냈다. 남녀 집단을 나누어 분석하면 남자가 13.71 ng/mL 으로 여자 10.47 ng/mL 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 생리신호 중 혈압을 남녀 집단으로 구분하여 분석한 결과 수축기혈압 평균이 남자가 133 mmHg으로 여자 117 mmHg보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05).확장기 혈압의 평균은 남자가 81mmHg로 여자의 76.4 mmHg 보다 높았으나 유의하지 않았다. 심박변이도 중 교감신경 활동을 보여주는 LF/HF ratio 비도 남자가 3.09 로 여자 1.77 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05).

  • 본 연구의 목적은 예비교사가 상황에 따라 과학에 대해 어떤 인식론적 신념을 가지는지를 살피고, 교과독서를 통한 인식론적 신념의 변화양상을 심층적으로 탐색하는 것이다. 이를 위해 초등 예비교사들이 '파인만의 과학이란 무엇인가?'를 읽고 쓴 에세이 77편을 귀납적 분석법을 이용해 분석하였다. 연구 결과로, 기존에 예비교사가 지녔던 인식론적 신념을 '교과 학습에서의 과학', '일상생활에서의 과학'의 두 가지 상황으로 구분하고, 교과독서 후에 '과학자가 다루는 과학' 상황에서 형성된 인식론적 신념을 분석하였다. 각 상황은 '지식의 인상', '지식의 근원', '지식의 정당화', '지식의 가변성', '지식의 구조', '지식 습득 가치'를 하위 범주로 세분화하여 세련된 신념과 소박한 신념 수준에서 차이를 밝혔다. 그 결과로 파인만의 과학 강의가 예비교사에게 새로운 관점 정립, 기존의 인식론적 신념 재맥락화 측면에서 영향을 주었음을 도출하였다. 본 연구는 예비교사가 가지는 과학에 대한 인식론적 신념이 상황에 따라 상이할 수 있음을 밝히고, 교과독서를 통해 과학자가 다루는 과학에 대한 신념을 포괄하는 방향으로 인식론적 신념의 폭과 깊이가 확장될 가능성을 확인하였다는 점에서 의미가 있다.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of dual tasks on balance and postural control during standing in patients with cerebellar ataxia (CA). It was hypothesized that CA patients would exhibit different sway characteristics of the center of mass (COM) depending on the complexity of the secondary cognitive tasks compared with normal control subjects. Methods: A total of 8 patients with CA and age-matched healthy control subjects participated in this study. They were instructed to perform two balance tasks (non-dual and dual movement) with 3 different complexity of dual tasks. Range, variability, and velocity of COMs were measured. Results: According to the results CA patients showed deficits in balance and postural control with increased dual-task complexity during the static balance task in saggital sway movements. However, there was no significant difference in static balance in frontal sway. With higher difficulty in the cognitive task, CA patients took longer to stabilize their body center, while normal control subjects showed no change between conditions. In addition, CA patients had a greater COM resultant velocity during recovery in the dual-task condition compared with the single-task condition. These findings indicate that CA patients had defendable compensatory strategies in performing dual tasks. Conclusion: In conclusion, CA patients appeared to manage the priority to balance and postural control. Particularly in a situation with a postural threat such as when potential consequences of the loss of stability increase, they appeared to prioritize the control of balance and posture over the performance of the secondary task.

  • There are many sources of systematic variations in cDNA microarray experiments which affect the measured gene expression levels like differences in labeling efficiency between the two fluorescent dyes. Print-tip lowess normalization is used in situations where dye biases can depend on spot overall intensity and/or spatial location within the array. However, print-tip lowess normalization performs poorly in situation where error variability for each gene is heterogeneous over intensity ranges. We proposed the new print-tip normalization methods based on support vector machine regression(SVMR) and support vector machine quantile regression(SVMQR). SVMQR was derived by employing the basic principle of support vector machine (SVM) for the estimation of the linear and nonlinear quantile regressions. We applied our proposed methods to previous cDNA micro array data of apolipoprotein-AI-knockout (apoAI-KO) mice, diet-induced obese mice, and genistein-fed obese mice. From our statistical analysis, we found that the proposed methods perform better than the existing print-tip lowess normalization method.

  • Impaired sensorimotor function of the hand ipsilateral to a unilateral brain damage has been reported in a variety of motor task. however, it is still the controversial issue because of the difficulty of detection in clinical situation, patients' variability(time after onset, contralateral upper extremity severity, other cognitive functions including apraxia), and the performed various motor task. The purpose of this study is to determine the presence of ipsilateral motor deficit following unilateral brain damage in three different specific tasks(hand tapping, visual tracking and coin rotation) compared with healthy age-sex matched control group using the same hand and to investigate the lateralized motor control in each hemispheric function. Findings revealed that stroke patients with unilateral brain damage experienced difficulties with rapid-simple repetitive movement, visuomotor coordination, complex sequencing movement on ipsilateral side. Also, Comparison of the left-hemispheric stroke groups and the right-hemispheric stroke groups revealed that patients with a left-hemisphere damage tended to be more variable in performing all of the three tasks. These results show that stroke patient with left hemisphere damage has more ipsilateral motor deficit, and the left hemisphere contributes to the processing of motor control that necessary for the executing actions with ipsilateral hand.

  • This study proposes a remote monitoring of patients and emergency notification system with a camera and pulse wave sensor for U-Healthcare. The proposed system is a server client model based U-Healthcare system which consists of wireless clients that have micro-controller, embedded-board for patient status monitoring and a remote management server. The remote management server observes the change of pulse wave data individually in real-time sent from the clients that is to be remote-monitored based on the pulse wave data stored by users and divides them into caution section and emergency section. When the pulse wave data of a user enters an emergency situation, the administrator can make a decision based on the real-time image information and pulse rate variability. When the status of the monitored patient enters the emergency section, the proposed U-healthcare system notifies the administrator and relevant institutions. An experiment was conducted to demonstrate the pulse wave recognition of the proposed system.

  • Previous works for detecting arrhythmia have mostly used nonlinear method to increase classification accuracy. Most methods require accurate detection of ECG signal, higher computational cost and larger processing time. But it is difficult to analyze the ECG signal because of various noise types. Also in the healthcare system based IOT that must continuously monitor people's situation, it is necessary to process ECG signal in realtime. Therefore it is necessary to design efficient algorithm that classifies different arrhythmia in realtime and decreases computational cost by extrating minimal feature. In this paper, we propose R wave detection considering complexity and arrhythmia classification based on binary coding. For this purpose, we detected R wave through SOM and then RR interval from noise-free ECG signal through the preprocessing method. Also, we classified arrhythmia in realtime by converting threshold variability of feature to binary code. R wave detection and PVC, PAC, Normal classification is evaluated by using 39 record of MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. The achieved scores indicate the average of 99.41%, 97.18%, 94.14%, 99.83% in R wave, PVC, PAC, Normal.
