Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the degree of dizziness affects static balance due to the disruption or absence of the senses involved in balance. To this end, the correlation between the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), which objectively evaluates dizziness, the Fourier Index (FI; Frequency bands of postural oscillation, F1, F2-4, F5-6, F7-8) and the Stability Index (ST), which evaluates static balance ability, were examined. Methods: This study investigated balance and dizziness issues in 30 healthy young adults. Participants underwent multiple tests like the DHI and tetra-ataxiometric posturography (Tetrax) under different conditions (eyes open/closed, standing on a foam-rubber pillow, and with the head in various orientations). Results: We found that F1 exhibited a weak positive correlation with dizziness under normal conditions, as well as when the eyes were closed (r=0.396, p<0.05) and the head was tilted back (r=0.375, p<0.05). Meanwhile, F5-6 showed a moderate positive correlation with dizziness in both head-back (HB: r=0.471, p<0.05) and head-forward postures (r=0.404, p<0.05). Lastly, both F7-8 and ST demonstrated a moderate positive correlation with dizziness when the head was in a forward posture (F7-8: r=0.483; ST: r=0.403, p<0.05). Conclusion: The study results indicate that the severity of dizziness affects sensory systems and balance. It also suggests that head movements, especially forward and backward, further stimulate the vestibular system, intensifying dizziness, and balance problems in affected individuals.

본 연구의 목적은 안정한 지지면, 불안정한 지지면에서 시각 조건이 균형에 미치는 영향에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 건강한 성인 30명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 시각 조건은 수직, 수평, 대각선으로 설정하였고 불안정한 지지면에서의 균형 측정을 위해 패드를 밟고 측정을 수행하였다. 균형측정기를 통해 안정성 지수(General Stability Index)와 체중 분포 지수(Weight Distribution Index), 체중 분포도(Weight Distribution)를 측정하였다. 지면 간 비교는 대응 표본 t검정을 하였고, 지면 내 비교는 일원배치분산분석을 사용하였다. 불안정한 지지면에서 시각 조건 내 (수평, 수직)의 안정성지수는 유의한 차이를 보였고(p<.05), 지면간의 비교에서 체중분포지수에서 유의한 차이가 있었다(p<.05). 체중분포도는 수평 방향의 시각의 모든 지지면에서 왼쪽과 오른쪽 사이의 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 정적 균형 훈련시, 수평보다 수직과 대각선의 시각 조건을 준다면 균형 훈련에 도움을 줄 수 있다고 사료된다.

In general, the installation of offshore wind turbine have been carried out by a jack-up barge or wind turbine installation vessel. In case of using jack-up barge, an additional barge is required to transport offshore wind turbines. During the transportation, barge is affected by environmental conditions such as wave, wind etc. So, it is important to secure the static and dynamic stability of the barge. In this study, fundamental research was performed to evaluate the stability of barge due to use the guide frame. The analysis for static stability of barge was performed under the two loading conditions with or without wave and those results were evaluated according to the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries rules. Also motion analysis was performed under the ITTC wave spectrum using buoy data and evaluated based on NORDFORSK guideline by using commercial software Maxsurf Motions.

상태 궤환 제어기 설계에 있어서 상태 정보에 대한 접근의 제한성 때문에, 출력 궤환 제어기 설계에 대한 많은 연구가 수행되어 왔다. 그럼에도 불구하고 최적의 출력 궤한 제어기 설계는 여전히 풀리지 않은 문제로 남아 있다. 따라서, 기존에 수행되었던 관련한 다양한 고정형 출력 궤한 제어기 설계 연구 결과를 리뷰하고 복잡도와 안정성 관점에서 성능을 평가 비교함으로써 이 분야의 연구의 방향을 찾고자 한다. 또한, 기존 연구에서 제한적인 시스템 구성에서 제시되었던 알고리즘들을 어떤 시스템 구성에서도 적용가능할 수 있도록 리뷰하는 알고리즘을 완벽하게 제공한다. 리뷰하는 알고리즘은 모의 실험을 통해서 안정성 성능과 연산 시간으로 측정된 복잡도를 통하여 비교 평가한다. 모의실험 결과에 따르면, 대수에 의한 제어기 설계 알고리즘[20]이 가장 적은 복잡도를 가지는 반면에 스케링 변환 기반의 선형 행렬 부등식 알고리즘[18]이 대부분의 경우에 고복잡도를 가지고 가장 좋은 성능을 갖음을 확인하였다.

A forecast of slope behavior during catastrophic events, such as earthquakes is crucial to recognize the risk of slope failure. This paper endeavors to eliminate the significant supposition of predefined slip surfaces in the slope stability analysis, which questions the relevance of simple conventional methods under seismic conditions. To overcome such limitations, a methodology dependent on the slip line hypothesis, which permits an automatic generation of slip surfaces, is embraced to trace the extreme slope face under static and seismic conditions. The effect of earthquakes is considered using the pseudo-static approach. The current outcomes developed from a parametric study endorse a non-linear slope surface as the extreme profile, which is in accordance with the geomorphological aspect of slopes. The proposed methodology is compared with the finite element limit analysis to ensure credibility. Through the design charts obtained from the current investigation, the stability of slopes can be assessed under seismic conditions. It can be observed that the extreme slope profile demands a flat configuration to endure the condition of the limiting equilibrium at a higher level of seismicity. However, a concurrent enhancement in the shear strength of the slope medium suppresses this tendency by offering greater resistance to the seismic inertial forces induced in the medium. Unlike the traditional linear slopes, the extreme slope profiles mostly exhibit a steeper layout over a significant part of the slope height, thus ensuring a more optimized solution to the slope stability problem. Further, the susceptibility of the Longnan slope failure in the Huining-Wudu seismic belt is predicted using the current plasticity approach, which is found to be in close agreement with a case study reported in the literature. Finally, the concept of equivalent single or multi-tiered planar slopes is explored through an example problem, which exhibits the appropriateness of the proposed non-linear slope geometry under actual field conditions.

The effects of zeolite on the thermal stability of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) were investigated by the static thermal stability test, pyrolysis experiment and ultraviolet spectrum. The results showed that the porous zeolite could absorb hydrogen chloride (HCl), which suppressed the catalysis of HCl on thermal degradation of PVC, thus improved the thermal stability of PVC. The oxidizing acid which was loaded on zeolite had oxidated on the double bond that formed during the dehydrochlorination of PVC. This process could prohibit the growth of the conjugated polyene and improved the color of PVC. Hence, zeolite might be possible to come up with a high performance thermal stabilizer.

A novel method is proposed to construct the voltage stability boundary of power system considering different Reactive Power Control Mode (RPCM) of Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) Wind Power Plant (WPP). It can be used for reflecting the static stability status of grid operation with wind power penetration. The analytical derivation work of boundary search method can expound the mechanism and parameters relationship of different WPP RPCMs. In order to improve the load margin and find a practical method to assess the voltage security of power system, the approximate method of constructing voltage stability boundary and the critical points search algorithms under different RPCMs of DFIG WPP are explored, which can provide direct and effective reference data for operators.

Degraded data stability, weaker write ability, and increased leakage power consumption are the primary concerns in scaled static random-access memory (SRAM) circuits. Two new SRAM cells are proposed in this paper for achieving enhanced read data stability and lower leakage power consumption in memory circuits. The bitline access transistors are asymmetrically gate-underlapped in the proposed SRAM cells. The strengths of the asymmetric bitline access transistors are weakened during read operations and enhanced during write operations, as the direction of current flow is reversed. With the proposed hybrid asymmetric SRAM cells, the read data stability is enhanced by up to 71.6% and leakage power consumption is suppressed up to 15.5%, while displaying similar write voltage margin and maintaining identical silicon area as compared to the conventional memory cells in a 15 nm FinFET technology.

In this paper, the dynamic stability of a hydraulic excavator using ZMP concept is considered. When a load is moved in an excavator based on automation, an excavator often loses the stability and falls over. This is because a dynamic element is not included in the moment equilibrium equation that is used in order to judge a reversal. Consequently, reversal distinction algorithm including all a static and a dynamic element along a load movement in crane work is necessary. Zero Moment Point(ZMP) is a point on the floor where the resultant moment of the gravity, the inertial force of the manipulator and the external force is zero. This study is going to interpret the reversal stability of the excavator to which is applied ZMP concept through simulation.

A four-legged mobile robot can move on the plain terrain with mobility and stability, but if there exist any obstacles on the terrain of the motion direction, it takes extra times for a mobile robot to cross those obstacles and the stability should be considered during motion. The main objevtive is the study of a quadruped which can cross obstacles with better mobility, stability and fuel economy than any other wheeled or tracked vehicles. Vertical step, isolated wall and ditch are the basic obstacles and by understanding those three cases perfectly, a quadruped can move on any mixed rough terrain as 4-legged animal moves. Each leg of a determine the crossing capability in a static analysis. A quadruped can be simplified with links and joints. By applying the research method, a quadruped can determine the control procedures as soon as it receives the terrain informations from scanner and finally can be moved as animals move with mobility and stability.
