K-water에서는 2008년부터 부자식 및 초음파, 레이다식의 수위계에 대한 ISO 17025 국제공인 교정기관을 운영하고 있다. 현재까지 수위계의 교정은 고정표준실에서 실내 교정만이 가능하였으며, 이는 현장 등의 실외에서 교정하는 시스템의 부재가 원인이었다. 따라서 현장에서도 교정이 가능하도록 2015년에 이동형 교정시스템을 개발하였으며, 2016년에 각종 심사 및 위원회를 거쳐 한국인정기구(KOLAS)로부터 인정을 받았다. 본 논문에서는 한국인정기구로부터 인정받은 수위계 이동형 교정시스템 중 부자식 수위계를 현장에서 교정할 수 있는 교정시스템에 대하여 표준기 및 측정과 관련한 제반 사항에 대하여 검토하였다. 또한 설계의 기반이 되는 수학 모델을 도출하였으며, 이동형 교정시스템 구축을 통하여 수문관측 데이터에 대한 과학적인 시스템 운영으로 측정 데이터의 신뢰성을 확보하고자 하였다.

오늘날 환경 산업의 발달과 함께 수정진동형 기압계 같은 정밀한 기압계가 개발됨에 따라 이를 교정하기 위한 보다 우수한 압력표준기가 필요하게 되었다. 수은압력계는 압력변화에 따른 수은의 높이차를 측정하여 압력을 계산하는 압력표준장비로 지금까지 많이 사용되어 왔으나 정밀 기압 측정의 경우 수은의 높이 측정을 초음파나 레이져를 사용해야 하므로 측정시스템이 복잡해지고 수은의 맹독성으로 인해 그 사용이 제한적이다. 그 대신 기체식 압력저울을 이용한 정밀한 기압계 교정이 오늘날 많이 시도되고 있으나 압력저울은 교정 시 피스톤 주위 공간을 진공으로 만들어 측정해야 하므로 진공중의 분동 교환이 사용의 가장 큰 걸림돌로 지적되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 진공을 깨지 않고도 효율적으로 분동을 교환할 수 있는 장치를 고안, 제작하였다. 본 장치를 이용하면 교정 시 측정시간의 단축과 함께 잦은 대기 노출로 인한 피스톤, 실린더, 분동의 오염과 피스톤과 실린더 간격 사이의 불순물 삽입으로 인한 압력표준기 성능저하를 예방할 수 있다. 아울러 이 장치로 실제 상용되고 있는 초정밀 기압계의 특성 검사를 수행하여 그 실험 결과를 기술하였다.

저진공 국가표준기인 초음파간섭 수은주압력계를 이용하여 두 개의 용량형 격막식 게이지와 두 개의 공진형 실리콘 게이지를 교정하였다. 용량형 격막식 게이지의 센서부는 금속으로 되어 있으므로 견고하고 과압에 잘 견딜 뿐만 아니라 우수한 분해능을 가지고 있으며, 공진형 실리콘 게이지는 우수한 안정성과 기계적인 충격에 강한 특성을 가지고 있다. 이들의 교정 불확도를 국제표준화기구에서 제정한 측정불확도 표현지침서에 따라 분석하여 비교하였으며, 그 결과 확장불확도의 최대 차이는 교정압력 100 Pa에서 $9\times10^{-3}$Pa 이었다. 또한 공진형 실리콘 게이지의 표준압력에 대한 압력비의 차이가 0.5 % 이내이었으므로 저진공 영역의 전달표준기로 사용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

The statistical characteristics of typhoon wind speed records tend to have a considerable time-varying trend; thus, the stationary wind model may not be appropriate to estimate the wind characteristics of typhoon events. Several nonstationary wind speed models have been proposed by pioneers to characterize wind characteristics more accurately, but comparative studies on the applicability of the different wind models are still lacking. In this study, three landfall typhoons, Ampil, Jongdari, and Rumbia, recorded by ultrasonic anemometers atop the Shanghai World Financial Center (SWFC), are used for the comparative analysis of stationary and nonstationary wind characteristics. The time-varying mean is extracted with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method, and the time-varying standard deviation is calculated by the autoregressive moving average generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARMA-GARCH) model. After extracting the time-varying trend, the longitudinal wind characteristics, e.g., the probability distribution, power spectral density (PSD), turbulence integral scale, turbulence intensity, gust factor, and peak factor, are comparatively analyzed based on the stationary wind speed model, time-varying mean wind speed model and time-varying standard deviation wind speed model. The comparative analysis of the different wind models emphasizes the significance of the nonstationary considerations in typhoon events. The time-varying standard deviation model can better identify the similarities among the different typhoons and appropriately describe the nonstationary wind characteristics of the typhoons.

This study is to increase the accuracy of the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia by presenting a method that can accurately measure the residual urine amount of the bladder by using an ultrasound image. Agar powder, Propanol and distilled water were used as materials for making a phantom. In order to measure the volume, a $10m{\ell}$ cylinder, syringe and beaker were used. The image was obtained by scanning phantoms produced into six shapes. Each constant value was obtained by using the expression designed to measure the residual urine amount of the bladder and was compared and analyzed. The measuring method of Bladder volume was presented and a constant value for each shape was obtained and five observers measured it five times. According to the results of clinical application, the errors of Ellipse-beanbag, Shield-shield were 11.0%, 18.2%, respectively. Constant values depending on the shape of each phantom were presented in order to accurately measure the volume of the bladder in measuring the amount of residual urine for the diagnosis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The accuracy of the volume using this was verified statistically(p > 0.05). Therefore, it is considered to be useful in diagnosing benign prostatic hyperplasia by using the ultrasound imaging measuring method presented.

The vortical flow of a 65-deg flat plate delta wing with a leading edge extension(LEX) was examined through off-surface visualization, 5-hole probe and hot-film measurements. The off-surface flow visualization technique used micro water droplets generated by a home-style ultrasonic humidifier and a laser beam sheet. The angles of attack ranged from 10 to 30 degrees, and the sideslip angles ranged from 0 to -15 degrees. The Reynolds number was $1.82{\times}10^5$ for the flow visualization, and $1.76{\times}10^6$ for the 5-hole probe and hot-film measurements. The comparison of the visualization photos and the flow field measurement showed that the two results were in a good agreement for the relative position and the structure of the wing and LEX vortices, even though the flow Reynolds numbers of the two results were much different. The wing vortex and the LEX vortex coil each other while maintaining a comparable strength and identity at zero sideslip. Neither a looping of the wing vortex around the strake vortex, nor the lopsided coiling of the stronger strake and the weaker wing vortices was observed. At non-zero sideslip, the downward movement of the LEX vortex when going downstream was enhanced on the windward side, and the downward and inboard movement of the LEX vortex when going downstream was suppressed on the leeward side. The counterclockwise coiling of the wing and LEX vortices was decreased significantly on the leeward side.

Three types of piezoelectric single crystals [PMN-PT (Generation I $[Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-PbTiO_3]$), PMN-PZT (Generation II $[Pb(Mg_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3]$), PMN-PZT-Mn (Generation III)] were grown by the solid-state single crystal growth (SSCG) method, and their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were measured and compared. Compared to (001) PMN-PT and PMN-PZT single crystals, the (001) PMN-PZT-Mn single crystals exhibited a higher transition temperature between the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases ($T_{RT}=144^{\circ}C$), as well as a higher coercive electric field ($E_C=6.3kV/cm$) and internal bias field ($E_I=1.6kV/cm$). The (011) PMN-PZT-Mn single crystals showed the highest coercive electric field ($E_C=7.0kV/cm$), and the highest stability of $E_C$ and $E_I$ during 60 cycles of polarization measurement. These results demonstrate that both Mn doping (for higher electromechanical quality factor ($Q_m$)) and a (011) crystallographic orientation (for higher coercive electric field and stability) are necessary for high power transducer applications of these piezoelectric single crystals. Specifically, the (011) PMN-PZT-Mn single crystal (Gen. III) had the highest potential for application in the fields of SONAR transducers, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), ultrasonic motors, and others.

In 27 patients with the past history of poor response to the gonadotropin superovulation induction due to poor follicular growth or permature surge of endogenous luteinizing hormone, the effectiveness of pituitary supperssion with the gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a) in in vitro fertilization(IVF) program was evaluated in 43 cycles using a combination regimen of D-Trp-6 LHRH(Decapeptyl, Ferring)and FSH/hMG from June, 1989 to August, 1990 at Korea University Hospital IVF Clinic. At midluteal phase of menstrual cycle, Decapeptyl-CR was administered by long-term protocol to minimize initial agonistic effect of endogenous gonadotropins. After the confirmation of pituitary suppression, about 2-3 weeks after GNRH-a administration, ovarian follicle growth was stimulated with FSH/hMG and followed by transvaginal ultrasonic measurement of follicle size and by monitoring of serm E2 and LH if necessary. When compared with the control group stimulated with gonadotropin regimen only, the cancellation rate and occurrence rate of premature LH surge during gonadotropin treatment were significantly lower in study group(11.6% and 2.4%, respectively). There is no significant differences in the mean number of aspirated oocytes, fertilization/cleavage rate, embryo transfer(ET) rate, and mean number of embryos transferred between the two groups. The pregnancy rate per treatment cycle, 16.3%, and per ET cycle, 23.3%, were significantly higher in the study group compared with those of control group. These data suggest that GnRH-a therapy is effective for previous poor responder In gonadotropin superovulation induction for IVF.

Purpose: Essential oils are secondary metabolites of herbs and have antibacterial activities against foodborne pathogens. However, their applications for food protection are limited due to the hydrophobic and volatile natures of essential oils. Methods: In this study, essential oil nanoemulsions of rosemary and lavender were formulated with non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 and water using ultrasonic emulsification, and their antibacterial effects were determined. Results: The antibacterial activities of nanoemulsions were evaluated against 12 strains of 10 bacterial species, and significant antibacterial effects were observed against four Gram-positive and four Gram-negative bacteria but not against Streptococcus mutans and Shigella sonnei. In the disc diffusion test, the diameter of the inhibition zone proportionally increased with the concentration of nanoemulsions. Using cell turbidity measurement, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of the nanoemulsions, which is the lowest concentration reducing viability of the initial bacterial inoculum by ${\geq}99.9%$, was significantly higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the nanoemulsions. The largest bactericidal effects of lavender and rosemary essential oil nanoemulsions were observed against S. enterica and S. aureus, respectively. Conclusion: Nanoemulsion technique could improve antibacterial activity of essential oil nanoemulsions by increasing the solubility and stability of essential oils. Our findings shed light on the potential use of essential oil nanoemulsions as an alternative to chemical sanitizers in food protection.
