The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of flash panorama-based virtual field trips (VFT) as a supporting tool for geological field activity on middle school students' spatial visualization ability, conceptual understanding, and perceptions. A total of 17 middle school students participated in a three day long actual geological field trip around Jeju Island where a three-phase instructional model is applied for utilization of flash panorama-based VFT, which was proposed by Kim and Lee (2011). With one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, data were collected using questionnaire and were analyzed to find out a change in students' spatial visualization ability and volcanic concept understanding, and their perceptions about the utilization of flash panorama-based VFT. Findings are as follows: First, the effect of utilizing flash panorama-based VFT in actual field trip revealed that there was meaningful increase in 'spatial relation' category of spatial visualization ability and 'knowledge' and 'comprehension' domains of volcanic concept understanding. Second, majority of students showed positive gain index in both spatial visualization ability and volcanic concept understanding. Lastly, participating students showed much interest and high satisfaction, and positive perception on the use of VFT. They also perceived that the utilization of flash panorama-based VFT could help in carrying out an actual field trip in terms of cognitive and geographical factors.

가스 절연개폐장치(GIS)에 있어서 단로기 또는 차단기의 개폐조작시나 자락고장이 생겼을 때는 급준과도전압(VFT)가 발생한다. 이 급준파의 크기는 단로기의 개폐조작시 재점호가 일어날 때가 대지절연파괴를 일으킬때의 극간전압차에 의하여 결정되며, 반사와 전반에 의해 중첩된 진행파로 되는 이른바 급준과도과전압(VFTO)로 된다. 이 VFT의 상승율은 표준뢰임펄스전압보다 크며, 최초의 파두장은 4-7[ns]의 것도 있다. 또 이 VFT전압은 GIS내부 뿐만 아니라 가공 송전선과 대지간, GIS의 용기와 대지사이 등 외부에도 나타난다. 따라서 GIS의 내부와 외부에서 VFT의 스트레스가 나타나므로 GIS의 설계시에 충분히 고려하여야만 된다. 지락고장에 의해 발생되는 용기과도전압(TEV)도 불꽃방전시에는 인가전압의 2배 정도로 되는 경우도 있으므로 절연설계 및 현장시험시에 고려할 필요가 있다. 단로기의 개폐조작시 발생하는 VFT의 피이크치를 최악의 경우로 상정할 때는 절연레벨을 상당히 저하시키며, 특히 GIS내에 돌기물과 같은 이물질이 존재하여 불평등전계를 형성할 때는 절연파괴전압이 대단히 전하된다. 변압기나 부싱 등과 같은 전력기기에서는 외함과 접지사이의 전압을 제한하여 설계할 필요가 있으며 용기와 대지사이의 외부과도과전압(FTO)를 저감시키기 위해서는 GIS의 외함을 각각 분할하여 제작할 필요가 있다.

본 연구에서는 청각계의 시간 및 주파수 특성을 고려한 과도음의 시간-주파수 신호해석 기법인 VFT-STFT (STFT with Variable Frequency Resollution)을 제안하고자 한다. VFT-STFT은 downsampling와 FFT를 반복적으로 수행하여 주파수 대역에 따라 주파수 및 시간 분해능이 청각계의 특성과 유사한 기존의 VFR-FFT에 그 뿌리를 두고 있다. 그러나, 본 연구에서는 기존의 VFT-FFT 알고리즘에 overlap인자를 도입하여 시간-주파수 해석 결과를 구하고, 2/3-rate resampling에 의해 추가로 구성된 시간-주파수 해석 결과의 일부를 기존의 시간-주파수 해석 결과에 이식시킴으로서 기존의 VFT-FFT가 갖는 overlap과 spectral loss 등의 문제점을 최소화하고자 한다.

In this study, a Virtual geological Field Trip(VFT) learning program using 3D panorama virtual reality techniques was developed to learn about the Gongju city 7 area located in Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. The developed $360^{\circ}$ 3D VFT program can show every face of observational points and interact as zoom-in, zoom-out and image rotation. For the educational effects of the materials, it is provided with a compass, a protractor, enlarged images, pop-up windows, etc.. The program was applied to the class of 35 gifted students in middle school to investigate the effectiveness of the program. The results showed that positive responses of the students were 90% or more. When geological field trip problems like cost, safety, distance occur in geological learning procedure of middle school science, this VFT program can become as a supplementary learning material and a solution.

The back-to-back HVDC asynchronous grid interconnect technology has problems of high harmonic generation, high cost, and low scalability. To solve this problem, research on asynchronous grid interconnect technology using VFT is actively being conducted. However, the reactive power due to the inductance component of the VFT is generated, and the problem of additional installation of the reactive power compensating facility is inevitably generated. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to solve the reactive power compensation problem of existing VFT by designing rectifier AC-DC converter, which is an essential element of the asynchronous grid connection system using VFT, to compensate reactive power as well as active power supply. The performance was verified through simulation.

This study developed a geological virtual reality-based field trip (VFT) to find an alternative to replace the actual field trip, which is often considered lightly by students owing to difficulties in the school. For this purpose, we selected a total of five geological learning sites that focus on the Mt. Jeoksang Muju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, Korea by evaluating the contents of the curriculum and the possibility of developing a VFT. The developed VFT provided middle-school students with an interactive space to observe and explore rocks and geological structures, including orbicular granite gneiss, tuff, conglomerate, sandstone, stratification, and joints. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the 1st-grade middle-school students to evaluate the educational value of the VFT. The responses of the students were analyzed using semantic network analysis to understand the significance of relationships between the reaction words. Results show that the students were able to sense reality through the VFT, which enabled them to understand and remember the characteristics of rocks. Therefore, students can indirectly have a sense of reality of an outdoor experience through the VFT program, which positively influences their learning. Our study shows that VFT can be effectively utilized as a meaningful learning resource in schools.

While virtual field trips (VFT) are considered as an attractive alternative to traditional field experience, it is unclear how VFT are best used in Earth Science curriculum. In this study, we investigated the effects of flash panorama-based VFT on students' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept in high school Earth Science class. To investigate the effects of instructional treatment, we conducted pre and post-test on participants' spatial visualization ability and their understanding of volcanic concept, and analyzed using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and linear regression. Findings are as follows: First, the change in students' spatial visualization ability in experimental group was significantly higher than that of control group, especially in spatial manipulation category. Second, the change in students' understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was higher than that of control group in most of the categories, but it is statistically not significant. Last, the change in correlation between spatial visualization ability and understanding of volcanic concept in experimental group was remarkably high compared to control group.

In school science class, actual geological field trips tend to be restricted due to a number of problems including travel distance, cost, safety, and so on. Therefore, alternative way should be sought to provide students with the benefits of actual field trip. The purpose of this study is to develop web-based virtual field trip (VFT) about Jeju island in Korea by using flash panorama, and to explore a variety of ways to utilize the VFT. The characteristics of Jeju VFT are as follows: it provides virtual space for secondary school students to learn about volcanic topography and geology; students can access contents in a non-sequential order by virtue of web-based system, and students can control learning pace according to their ability; it is possible to investigate the same field site repeatedly, not limited by time and space; it presents differentiated worksheets for different school grade; it provides diverse complementary web contents, e. g., closeup features, thin sections, inquiry questions, and explanations of outcrops. We proposed several ways with instructional models to utilize Jeju VFT in science class and extra-school curricular as well.

Objectives: Abdominal obesity increases mortality and morbidity from cardiovascular disease and there is a possibility that smoking effects obesity. However, previous studies concerning the effects of smoking on obesity are inconsistent. The objective of this study was to examine whether smoking is positively related to abdominal obesity in men with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Subjects consisted of 2197 type 2 diabetic patients who visited Huh's Diabetes Center from 2003 to 2009. Indices of abdominal obesity were defined as visceral fat thickness (VFT) measured by ultrasonography and waist circumference (WC). Overall obesity was defined as body mass index (BMI). Results: Statistically significant differences in WC and VFT by smoking status were identified. However, there was no statistical difference in BMI according to smoking status. Means of WC and VFT were not significantly higher in heavy smokers and lower in mild smokers. Compared to nonsmokers, the BMI confounder adjusted odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for VFT in ex-smokers and current-smokers were 1.70 (1.21 to 2.39) and 1.86 (1.27 to 2.73), respectively. Conclusions: Smoking status was positively associated with abdominal obesity in type 2 diabetic patients.
