Objectives: To investigate the link between cigarette smoking and muscle strength in Japanese men. Methods: We used data on 4249 Japanese men, aged $43.3{\pm}13.9$ years, in this cross-sectional investigation study. Grip strength and leg strength were measured as indicators of overall muscle strength. Meanwhile, subjects' cigarette smoking habits were recorded by trained medical staff. The effect of cigarette smoking on muscle strength was evaluated. Results: A total of 1618 men (38.1%) were smokers and 1481 men (34.9%) exercised regularly. Significant differences in muscle strength were noted between men with and without a Brinkman index of 400 or greater, after adjusting for age. After adjusting for age, height, body weight and exercise habits, associations between the Brinkman index and leg strength and the ratio of leg strength to body weight were attenuated. Conclusions: Cigarette smoking might be negatively associated with muscle strength, especially grip strength in Japanese men.

도심지에서의 건물해체 및 발파공사로 노후된 인접 구조물의 구조적 안정성에 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 재료의 물성을 파악하기 위하여 반발경도에 의한 압축강도와 X선 회절 및 상 분석에 의한 성분 함량으로 상관성을 비교하였고, 충격 에너지에 의한 손상도 평가를 위해 측정된 탄성파속도 값으로 손상도를 산출하였다. 결과적으로, 반발경도에 의한 압축강도와 재료의 성분 함량은 상관성이 있음을 확인하였고, 탄성파속도 값으로 산출된 손상도는 압축강도가 큰 재료일수록 작게 나타났고, 충격력이 작을수록 작게 나타났다.

Around the Nakdong River which is one part of the repairing business of 4 Grand Rivers currently being constructed, sandy ground is distributed throughout the wide area. Many civil engineering structures such as small and medium sized dams, flood control basins, and redevelopment of reservoirs and retention reservoirs are scheduled to be constructed, so the prevention measures for liquefaction are surely needed. To identify such liquefaction, a lot of factor affecting the strength of liquefaction were studied through laboratory investigation. Most of the conducted study was about clean sands, but in the case of the real ground the sand can exist not in the clean conditions but in the conditions mostly including sand of fine grained soil. The sand of fine grained soil has become a significant factor to assess liquefaction because many cases of liquefaction happened in the silty and clayer soil. In this study, un-drained tests of plasticity index of fine grained particles were conducted with the sands from Nakdong River. In result, the study shows that dynamic shear strength characteristics differ according to the plasticity index.

The live-line works are very dangerous because of direct contacts with the distribution line or neighboring contacts. So the purpose of this study is to identify the risk factor by accident occurrence form and accident case analysis, and to suggest the quantified risk index by risk occurrence frequency and risk strength analysis. And the risk index assessment is researched by accident cases analysis on work type. Accident cases of transmission distribution line are researched based on data of the Ministry of Employment and Labor in the last ten-year period (2000~2009). In results of this paper, high risk isn't always a priority of safety measures. Risk occurrence frequency and risk strength have to be considered according to detail work types, work methods and conditions of field work. And safety management measures must be planned according to risk occurrence frequency and risk strength.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 입자들로 구성된 매트릭스의 강섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체에서 강섬유가 압축강도에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였으며, 강섬유의 섬유혼입률과 섬유형상비에 따른 영향을 파악하고 혼입률과 형상비를 동시에 고려한 변수인 섬유보강지수(RI)에 따른 압축강도의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험결과에 따르면 마이크로 입자로 구성된 매트릭스의 강섬유보강 복합체에서는 섬유보강지수가 증가에 따라 압축강도가 선형적으로 증가하였다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 섬유보강지수와 압축강도와의 관계를 나타내는 모델식을 제안하였다.

우드칩 분진 발생량은 우드칩 기반 난방과 에너지 수요가 증가함에 따라 계속적으로 증가할 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 우드칩 분진의 활용에 대한 관심도 증가하고 있다. 이 연구를 통해 우드칩 분진의 재활용을 위한 일안으로 열병합 발전으로부터 발생한 우드칩 분진에 대한 물리적, 화학적 특성을 분석했다. 화학 분석 결과 우드칩 분진의 주된 구성성분은 실리카, 알루미나, 알칼리로 나타났다. 우드칩 분진에 대한 strength activity index 분석과 석탄재와의 비교를 통해 이차 시멘트계 재료로써 재활용 가능성을 확인했다. 90일 동안 경화한 우드칩 분진에 대한 strength activity index 최대값은 78%였으며 이는 시멘트계 재료에 대한 혼합물로써 재활용할 수 있음을 제시하는 결과이다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of a low intensity exercise program with telephone coaching on the physical fitness and physiological index of elderly women who are receiving home visiting health program. Methods: This study was conducted using a non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design. The participants were 53 senior citizens. The subjects (15) in experimental group 1 performed only a low-intensity exercise program and the subjects (16) in experimental group 2 performed a low intensity exercise program with telephone coaching for 16 weeks. The low intensity exercise program consisted of muscle strength band exercise, stretching, and hand exercise using balls. Results: There were statistical differences in the right grip strength (p=.030), left grip strength (p=.035), raising behind of right arm (p=.046), raising behind of left arm (p=.045), postprandial blood sugar (p=.021), body mass index (p=.029). Conclusion: The low intensity exercise program with telephone coaching is recommended as a physical fitness and physiological index for elderly women in a home visiting health program.

Purpose: This study investigated whether the strength imbalance between two muscles can affect the score of EMG based biofeedback game, and whether the EMG based biofeedback game score can be used as predictable indicator of the degree of muscle balance alternating the conventional strength measuring equipment. Methods: 40 participated in this study. Biodex was used to measure the peak torque/weight in order to calculate the muscle strength balance index between plantar flexor and dorsiflexor of ankle joint. And muscle balance index (MBI) was calculated. The EMG biofeedback game scores of dorsiflexor and plantar flexor were acquired, so that the EMG electrodes were attached at tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius. The relationship between the game score and the muscle balance index were analyzed. Results: There was negative correlation between the muscle balance index between plantar flexor and dorsiflexor and the peak torque/weight of plantar flexor (r=-0.70). And there was negative correlation between the muscle balance index between plantar flexor and dorsiflexor and the game score of plantar flexor (r=-0.83). Conclusion: The EMG biofeedback game score had significant relationship with muscle imbalance at ankle joint, so it seems that the game score can be used for predicting the degree of muscle imbalance as a parameter.

LNG저장탱크의 보냉제로 사용되는 폴리우레탄 폼의 NCO index에 대한 영향을 알아보기 위해 대체발포제인 HFC-365mfc를 사용하여 NCO index와 촉매를 변화시키면서 폴리우레탄 폼을 합성하였다. 폴리우레탄 폼의 물성변화를 고찰하기 위해 만능시험기, 시차주사열량계, 주사전자현미경, 적외선 분광기를 이용하였다. 촉매의 종류를 PC-8과 33LV, TMR-2로 변화시키고 양을 변화시킨 결과 촉매의 종류에 따라 압축강도의 차이가 발생하였으나 밀도에는 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 촉매의 첨가량이 증가할수록 압축강도도 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 겔화촉매인 PC-8과 33LV를 사용한 폼을 노화시킨 결과 NCO index가 증가하면 유리전이온도와 압축강도가 증가하였으나 삼량화 촉매인(TMR-2)를 사용한 폼을 노화시킨 결과 노화전후의 물성차이가 발생하지 않았으며 이는 초기 반응시 삼량화 여부에 기인함을 FT-IR을 사용하여 규명하였다.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of lumbar stabilization exercise with neurodynamic techniques on lumbar muscular strength and Oswestry index in lumbar disc herniation patient. Method: The Lumbar stabilization exercise with neurodynamic techniques was performed by 30 pt's in G hospital. The subjects were randomly organized into a study group 15 and control group 15. The exercises and neurodynamic technique were conducted for 40 minutes and, 3 times a week (total 24 times for 8 weeks). General characteristics of the Lumbar muscular strength and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were measured before the training and at 4 weeks and 8 weeks after the intervention. Comparison of the time dependent variable for each group was Calculated by a one way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA). Comparison between the two groups was Calculated by an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Result: There was a significant difference in the Lumbar muscular strength and ODI (p<.05). Similarly in the inter-group analysis, significant differences (p<.05) occurred. Conclusion: In this study, we demonstrated that lumbar stabilization exercises with neurodynamic techniques are an effective therapy for Lumbar muscular strength and ODI in lumbar disc herniation patient's.
