Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the criterion-related validity of the Berg balance test between fallers and non-fallers in individuals with Parkinson's disease. Methods : Thirty-one patients were recruited for this study. Their initial diagnosis had been made on average $30.1{\pm}10.1$ years earlier. Score of Berg balance test showed significant correlations with indicators of motor functioning and daily living capacity. Berg balance test score was inversely associated with the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale-motor score, and Schwab and England activities of daily living rating scale. Results : In all 3 correlations, lower scores on the Berg balance test correlated with higher unified Parkinson's disease rating scale-motor scores. Results support the criterion-related validity of the Berg balance test. Conclusion : Our research results agree with other published research in suggesting that the Berg balance test may be used as a screening tool and ongoing assessment tool for patients with Parkinson's disease.

The role of the integrated development environment is very important in software development of a development project. After many developers develop different modules, software product is completed through compile, debugging, integration, testing, and distribution. However, bugs and various issues in the development process cause problems such as quality deterioration of software product and dissatisfaction with requirements. So the need for automated testing to avoid these problems and improve quality has increased. In this study, we propose test automation modules of four perspectives to improve quality throughout the test automation in an integrated development environment. Each automation module operates through the tool chain of an integrated build framework implemented on the devops.

A navigator on bridge needs to know every kinds of motion characteristics of his vessel at sea. Generally when a vessel is completely built, the shipyard makes turning circle diagrams from the results of turing circle tests made during the sea trials for the reference of the vessel's owner. But referring only the data of a turning circle diagram, an officer on bridge can not figure out his vessel's maneuvering characteristics sufficiently, So nowadays the shipyard often adds Z test to turning circle test for more detail references. In this paper the author made Z and turning circle tests at the rudder angles of 15 and and 35 degress separately and in each of the case made a turrning circle diagram from the results of the turning circle test and the esults numerically calculated from mathematical formula made on the base of the maneuvering indices got from the Z test and compared them each other for the purpose of finding the correlations between them. Followings are concluded from the results. An actual turning circle diagram and a calculated one from the results of the Z test at same rudder angle coincides each other well when the center of the calculated circle is transferred by 1.7B toward the direction of the initial turning perpendicularly to the original course and 0.5L toward the direction in parallel with original course in case of the rudder angle of 35 degrees and 1.2B and 0.3L toward each of the above mentioned directions in case of rudder angle of 15 degrees.

Ceiling cooling and heating system that consider load arrangement and space in the ceiling needs to be developed. Therefore, experimental and economic changes were done to verify the performance of compact type VAV. The test results were as follow. 1) Noise test result, measuring approximately 50.4 dB~56.6 dB (before ceiling in landfill), had a better ceiling deadline than the current measure, about a 10 dB noise reduction, so that the office baseline (40~50 dB) noise was judged to be less than test. 2) For the static pressure test result, taking out an outside hydrostatic 25 mmAq, 24.8 mmAq was measured, respectively, at the point. 3) For the life-cycle cost analysis result, the initial investment cost, maintenance replacement costs, and maintenance costs increased 0.2%, but the energy savings ratio was 19.5% while the whole life cycle savings of 40 years LCC was reduced 11.9%.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the biologically treated animal wastewater as a liquid fertilizer in the paddy rice. The treated water has content of the ammonia nitrogen 24mg/I and nitrate 40 mg/I on an average in the first year. A trace of nitrite has been shown. The phosphate content was 92 mg/I on an average. The amount of yielded rice was 365kg/10a for test 1 (no fertilizer), 388dg/10a for test 2(chemical fertilizer), 526kg/10a for test 3 (treated water) respectively. The treated water showed 35% more in production than the chemical fertilizer. The treated water has content of the ammonia nitrogen 40mg/I and nitrate 67mg/I on an average in the second year. A trace of nitrite has been shown. The phosphate content was 57mg/I on an average. The amount of yielded rice was 402kg/10a for test 1, 505kg/10a for test 2, 607kg/10a for test 3 respectively. Yield of unhulled rice was 20% more in the plot of treated water than that of chemical fertilizer.

TSV based 3D ICs have been widely developed with new problems at die and IC levels. It is imperative to test at post-bond as well as pre-bond to achieve high reliability and yield. This paper introduces a new testable design technique which not only test microscopic defects at TSV input/output contact at a die but also test interconnect defects at a stacked IC. IEEE 1500 wrapper cells are augmented and through at-speed tests for pre-bond die and post-bond IC, known-good-die and defect free 3D IC can be massively manufactured+.

When a saturated clay is sampled in an undisturbed manner from a bore hole, the sample extends vertically and shrinks horizontally under undrained conditions due to stress release. The conventional consolidation test specimen is trimmed from the expanded sample so that its diameter is equal to the inner diameter of the consolidation test ring, this test procedure does not reproduce the actual consolidation behavior. The measurement of sample extension was conducted by means of overcoring method found that the extension strains were 1 to 2%. To simulate the in-situ consolidation behavior, the consolidation test method that uses a specimen with a slightly smaller diameter than the inside diameter of consolidometer so that the specimen expands laterally to the inside of the ring.

Joule heating effect in EM(Electromigration) test were performed on a bend test structure. EM test is done under high current densities(1.0-2.5MA/cm2), which leads to joule heating. Since joule heating is added to the controlled oven(stress) temperature, themetal line temperature is higher than the stress temperature. The increase in the stress temperature due to joule heating is important because EM phenomena and metal line failure are related to the stress temperature. In this paper, metal line was stressed with a current density of 1.0 MA/$cm^2$, 1.5MA/$cm^2$, 2.0MA/$cm^2$, 2.5MA/$cm^2$, for 1200 sec and temperature increase due to joule heating was less than $10^{\circ}C$. Also it took 30 minutes for the metal line to equalized with oven temperature. Recommendations are given for the EM test to determine the initial resistance of EM test structure under stress temperature and current density.

An Altitude Engine Test Facility(AETF) was built at the Korea Aerospace Research Institute in October 1999 and has been being operated for altitude testing of gas turbine engines of 3,000 Ibf class or less. The AETF has been calibrated using several engines such as J69 of Teledyne Co. as a facility checkout engine. Uncertainty analyses on the air flow rate and thrust were performed using the test results, according to ASME PTC 19.1-1998. Several modifications on the facility and test method were made in order to improve the measurement uncertainty to a satisfactory level over the whole operating envelop. Spatial distributions of pressure and temperature were measured, sensors were substituted by more accurate ones, inlet duct was modified to refine the flow quality, and pressure control logic was revised to remove the cell pressure fluctuation. As a result, the uncertainty of the air flow measurement was improved by 0.1% over all the test conditions, and the net thrust measurement by up to 3%. The improved measurement uncertainties of air flow and thrust are 0.68～O.73% and 0.4～1.3%, respectively.
