Due to top-coal and immediate roof as cushion layer connecting with support and overlying strata, it can make significant influence on strata behaviors in fully mechanical top-coal caving working face (TCCWF). Taking Qingdong 828 working face as engineering background, $FLAC^{3D}$ and $UDEC^{2D}$ were adopted to explore the influence of top-coal thickness (TCT), immediate roof thickness (IRT), top-coal elastic modulus (TCEM) and immediate roof elastic modulus (IREM) on the vertical stress and vertical subsidence of roof, caving distance, and support resistance. The results show that the maximum roof subsidence increases with the increase of TCT and IRT as well as the decrease of TCEM and IREM, which is totally opposite to vertical stress in roof-control distance. Moreover, although the increase of TCEM and IREM leading to the increase of peak value of abutment pressure, the position and distribution range have no significant change. Under the condition of initial weighting occurrence, support resistance has negative and positive relationship with physical parameters (e.g., TCT and IRT) and mechanical properties (e.g., TCEM and IREM), respectively.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effects of arch support taping on static balance, static/dynamic foot contact area, and ground reaction force during walking according to the types of elastic tapes with mechanical elasticity differences. Design: Cross-sectional study Methods: Twenty-six participants selected for flexible flat feet through the navicular drop test were randomly assigned to non-taping, Dynamic-taping, and Mechano-taping conditions. Static balance and foot contact area were compared in the standing posture according to arch support taping conditions, and foot contact area and ground reaction force were compared during walking. Results: There was no significant difference in static balance according to the taping condition in the standing position, but the foot contact area in the Mechano-taping condition showed a significant decrease compared to the non-taping condition (p<0.05). The foot contact area during walking significantly decreased in the Dynamic-taping and Mechano-taping conditions (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the ground reaction force. Conclusions: Based on the results of this study, it was confirmed that among the types of elastic taping, arch support taping using dynamic taping and Mechano-taping has the effect of supporting the arch with high elastic recovery. Any type of elastic tape can be used for arch alignment in flexible flat foot.

Background: Nowadays, counter-productive work behaviors (CWBs) have turned into a common and costly position for many organizations and especially health centers. Therefore, the study was carried out to examine and compare the demand-control-support (DCS) and effort-reward imbalance (ERI) models as predictors of CWBs. Methods: The study was cross-sectional. The population was all nurses working in public hospitals in Hamadan, Iran of whom 320 were selected as the sample based on simple random sampling method. The instruments used were Job Content Questionnaire, Effort-Reward Imbalance Questionnaire, and Counterproductivity Work Behavior Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using correlation and regression analysis in SPSS18. Results: The findings indicated that both ERI and DCS models could predict CWB (p ≤ 0.05); however, the DCS model variables can explain the variance of CWB-I and CWB-O approximately 8% more than the ERI model variables and have more power in predicting these behaviors in the nursing community. Conclusion: According to the results, job stress is a key factor in the incidence of CWBs among nurses. Considering the importance and impact of each component of ERI and DCS models in the occurrence of CWBs, corrective actions can be taken to reduce their incidence in nurses.

Purpose - This study attempts to analyze whether or not there are characteristics among the top management of companies that promote corporate performance at venture companies. It investigates the characteristics of the human and social capital that are inherent in top management at a venture company and conducts an empirical analysis of hypotheses examining if these characteristics will affect utilization of the governmental R&D support system as well as affect the firm's initial success. Research design, data, and methodology - This study conducted theoretical and empirical research together to accomplish the goal of the study. The pilot study researched human capital and social capital as the independent variables; the governmental R&D support system as the parameter; and, the initial success as the dependent variable. The empirical study carried out research on the model, establishment of hypotheses, and the statistical treatment. A survey was conducted targeting top management of high-tech venture companies in Daedeok Innopolis; 500 questionnaires were distributed; and, 222 were collected. Results - The human and social capital inherent in top management at venture companies in the early stages of their existence become good evaluation data for those who are invested in similar resources. If top management includes strong human and social capital, access to external resources will be easier; these will have a positive influence on the selection of overnmental support systems; and, this proper support will also have a positive influence on the initial success of the venture company. The results revealed the following. First, it was found that when the educational level and functional background, (the top management human capital), are the output function, top management human capital had a significant influence on selection of governmental R&D support funds. Second, it was found that the internal social capital and external social capital, (the top management social capital), had a significant influence on selection of governmental R&D support tasks. Third, it was found that selection of the governmental R&D support tasks at the start of the venture company had a positive influence on the corporate financial performance such as sales, business profits, and the increase in workers; and, had a significant influence on nonfinancial performance such as market share, competitive position, product competitiveness, and the future product development. Conclusions - Selection of the governmental R&D support system is not recognized as part of the direct sales of a venture company in its early stages, but as it can reduce costs for technical development and helps significantly in creating test products and mass production, it has a positive influence on the company's financial performance and nonfinancial performance as a result. Therefore, companies should take great efforts to frequently be selected as a candidate in the governmental R&D support system, as it can help facilitate R&D that requires extensive funds. As a result, companies can expect effects such as job creation and patent applications and they can advance future product sales.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of taping therapy and inner arch support on pes planus lower extremity alignment and gait. Method: The study was conducted on 13 women in their 20s who had pes planus and no gait problems. Independent variables were the condition of wearing basic socks (S1) and the condition of wearing socks with taping therapy and inner arch support (S2). The dependent variables were resting calcaneal stance position (RCSP), plantar pressure distribution during gait, and underlying and medial longitudinal arch angle measured using radiography. Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test with SPSS 23.0 for comparison of S1 and S2. Results: In the RCSP measurement, the angle range of S2 changed to normal. Meary's angle appeared to be less than the angle of S1, indicating alleviation of the degree of pes planus. The calcaneal pitch angle increased at S2 from that at S1. The plantar pressure distribution was divided into four areas (toe, forefoot, midfoot, and hindfoot). At S2, the maximum pressure increased in the toe and midfoot. The maximum force increased significantly in the toe and midfoot but decreased significantly in the forefoot and hindfoot. In addition, the contact area increased overall especially at the midfoot and hindfoot. Contact time decreased in the toe and forefoot, but increased in the midfoot and hindfoot. Conclusion: Taping therapy and inner arch support showed structural improvement of the pes planus. In addition, the force and pressure applied to the foot during walking are distributed evenly in the area of the sole, thus positively affecting walking.

The sag effect of long stay cables is one of the key factors restricting further increase in the span of cable-stayed bridges. Based on the formerly proposed concept of long stay cables lifted by an auxiliary suspension cable in cross-strait cable-stayed bridges, corresponding static approximate calculations and analytical theory based on catenary and parabolic cable configurations are established. Taking a main span 1400 m cable-stayed bridge as the research object, three typical lifting conditions and the whole process of auxiliary cable lifting are analyzed and discussed. The results show that the sag effect is effectively reduced. The support efficiency is only improved when the cables are lifted above the original cable chord. Reduction of the horizontal component force of the cable is limited. The equivalent elastic modulus and the vertical support stiffness of the lifted cables are significantly increased with increased horizontal projection length and not sensitive to the change of the lifting point position. The scheme of lifting the cable to the chord midpoint is more economical because of the less steel required for the auxiliary suspension cable, but its effect on improving the vertical support efficiency is limited. The support efficiency is better when the cable is lifted to the cable end tangential to the original cable chord, but the lifting force and the cross-sectional area of the auxiliary suspension cable are doubled. The approximate calculation results of the lifted cables are very close to the numerical analysis results, which verifies the applicability of the approximation method proposed in this study. The results of parabolic approximation calculations are approximately equal to that of catenary cable geometry. As the parabolic approximation analysis theory of lifted cables is more convenient in mathematical processing, it is feasible to use parabolic approximation analysis theory as the analytical method for the conceptual design of lifted cables of super-long span cable-stayed bridges.

위암 환자의 PET/CT검사 시에 전신 검사를 한 후 물을 약 300 mL 정도 마시게 한 후 환자의 위가 위치한 부분을 추가적으로 검사를 진행하고 있다. 이는 오랜 금식으로 인해 위의 위-아래 위벽이 붙어있어 진단에 어려움이 있기에 물을 마시게 함으로써 위벽을 팽창시켜 진단의 효율을 높이기 위함이다. 검사 시에 보통 환자의 자세는 앙와위즉, 바르게 누운 자세에서 검사가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 같은양의 물을 먹이고 복와위 즉, 바르게 엎드린 자세에서 촬영하여 앙와위에서 촬영 시와 위 체부의 용적의 팽창 정도를 비교하고, 이를 바탕으로 위의 구조상 하단부에 위치한 유문부와 위의 아래쪽 병변에 대한 정확한 위치와 진단의 효율을 높이고자 한다. 또한, 두 자세의 검사 영상을 비교하여 위의 용적의 차이를 수치화 시키고, 표준화 섭취계수의 변화가 있는지의 여부를 알아보고자 한다. 본원에서 2009년 7월-2010년 1월까지 조기 위암과 진행성 위암을 진단 받고, 수술을 하기 전의 환자와 부분절제를 한 후 추적 검사를 하고 있는 30명을 대상으로 하였다. 검사를 위해 환자에게 $^{18}F$-FDG 7.4 MBq(0.2 mCi/kg)을 정맥주사하고 60분간 누운 자세로 안정을 취하도록 하였다. 검사 시작 전 물을 300 mL 마시게 한 후 먼저 환자를 앙와위로 눕히고 위 부분을 PET/CT 촬영하고, 전신 촬영 한 후 환자에게 다시 물을 300 mL 마시게 한 후 복와위로 눕히고 위 부분을 PET/CT 촬영하였다. 위 체부의 용적을 앙와위와 복와위에서 비교해본 결과 30명의 환자에서 앙와위 평균 위 체부의 용적은 460.29 $mm^2$이고, 복와위 평균 위 체부의 용적은 641.39 $mm^2$로 평균적으로 약 41.3%확장된 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 앙와위와 복와위에서 위 종양의 최대 표준화 섭취 계수를 각각의 환자에게서 비교해 보았을 때 거의 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 위의 결과로 보았을 때 앙와위 검사보다 복와위에서 환자의 검사가 위 체부의 용적이 보다 더 확장된다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 표준화 섭취 계수의 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났기 때문에 앙와위에서의 판독 결과와 다르지 않다는 것을 보여주고 있다. 거동이 불편한 환자에게는 복와위 추가 촬영이 어렵겠지만, 앙와위 추가 촬영과 더불어 복와위 추가 촬영을 한다면 위암환자의 진단에 많은 도움이 되리라 생각되고, 거동이 불편한 환자에게 사용할 수 있는 복와위 에서의 보조용구의 연구에도 도움이 되리라 사료된다.

Purpose: This study was to evaluate several tasks performed at a high intensity in terms of their ability to elicit EMG activity in the serratus anterior by comparing the EMG activities of the serratus anterior, upper trapezius, and lower trapezius muscles during six tasks combined shoulder flexion with rotation. Methods: Fifteen healthy males were recruited to this study. Each subject was instructed to assume a sitting position without back support and asked to flex (90° or 120°) the right shoulder and protract the scapula in the sagittal plane with maximal external rotation; to assume a neutral position; or to internally rotate the glenohumeral joint. The EMG data were collected from the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), and lower trapezius (LT) muscles were normalized to maximum voluntary isometric contraction. The UT/LT and UT/SA muscle activity ratios in each task were assessed by calculating the surface EMG. Data were analyzed by two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance, with the level of significance set at p<0.05. Results: The results of this study, shoulder flexion with external rotation resulted in low upper trapezius/serratus anterior and upper trapezius/lower trapezius ratios and a relatively high level of serratus anterior activation. Conclusion: Shoulder flexion with external rotation used herein may be considered as important for clinical interventions aimed at selectively increasing SA strengthen and clinical selection of exercises for improving glenohumeral joint and scapulothoracic control.

저가형 GNSS (global navigation satellite system) 수신 모듈에 DGNSS (differential GNSS) 서비스를 적용하기 위한 방안으로 거리 영역의 보정정보를 위치 영역으로 투영한 후, stand-alone으로 산출한 위치에 적용하는 DGNSS-CP 방식이 제안된 바 있다. DGNSS-CP 를 상용 수신기 또는 휴대폰에 적용하기 위해서는 항법 방정식의 관측행렬을 이용하여 위치영역 투영 방정식을 구성하므로, 각 위성의 시선벡터를 산출하여야 한다. GNSS 항법 메시지, 배치 정보 등이 시선벡터 산출을 위하여 사용되는데, 각 방법에 따라 정확도와 연산량 등의 성능에 차이가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 두 가지 시선벡터 산출 방식에 따라 DGNSS-CP의 성능에 어떠한 영향을 끼치는지 확인하기 위하여, Septentrio PolaRx4 Pro 수신기에서 stand-alone mode 로 저장된 데이터에 해당 알고리즘을 적용하였고, 배치 정보를 사용하는 방법이 궤도정보를 사용하는 방법에 비해 정확도 면에서는 그 성능이 RMS (root mean square) 0.1 m 가량 저하되는 반면, 연산량은 약 1/15수준으로 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다.
