  • 본 연구는 시각-관성 기반의 딥러닝 학습으로 자유분방하게 움직이는 드론의 주행기록을 정확하게 추정하는 것을 목표로 한다. 드론의 비행주행은 드론의 온보드 센서와 조정값을 이용하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 이 온보드 센서 데이터를 학습에 사용하여 비행주행의 위치추정을 실험하였다. 선행연구로써 DeepVO[1]룰 구현하여 KITTI[3] 데이터와 Midair[4] 데이터를 비교, 분석하였다. 3D 좌표면에서의 위치 추정에 선행연구 모델의 한계가 있음을 확인하고 IMU를 Feature로써 사용하였다. 본 모델은 FlowNet[2]을 모방한 CNN 네트워크로부터 Optical Flow Feature에 IMU 데이터를 더해 RNN으로 학습을 진행하였다. 본 연구를 통해 주행기록 예측을 다소 정확히 했다고 할 수 없지만, IMU Feature를 통해 주행기록의 예측이 가능함을 볼 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 시각-관성 분야에서 사람의 지식이나 조정이 들어가는 센서를 융합하는 기존의 방식에서 사람의 제어가 들어가지 않는 End-to-End 방식으로 인공지능을 학습했다. 또한, 시각과 관성 데이터를 통해 주행기록을 추정할 수 있었고 시각적으로 그래프를 그려 정답과 얼마나 차이 있는지 확인해보았다.

  • 난류흐름 거동은 지형이나 수공구조물과 같은 고체 경계면의 변화에 민감하게 반응하며 특징 또한 다양하다. 보나 여수로 등과 같은 단차 구조물을 통과하는 흐름은 구조물의 모서리 같은 흐름 경계면이 급변하는 지점에서는 흐름분리(flow separation)가 발생하는 것이 특징이다. 이러한 흐름분리로 인해 전단층이 발생하며 흐름 재순환(recirculation)이 구조물 하류부에 형성된다. 이 연구에서는 낙차공 형식의 단차 구조물 하류부에서의 흐름 거동을 이해하기 위해 CFD모델링을 통하여 계산된 3차원 유동장을 분석한다. 난류 모의는 하이브리드 LES(large-eddy simulation)/RANS 계산 기법인 IDDES(improved delayed detached-eddy simulation)기법을 적용한다. IDDES의 기본 모형으로는 k-ω SST모형과 Spalart-Allmaras모형을 이용하여 두 모형의 성능을 평가한다. 자유수면의 변동은 VoF(volume of fluid)기법을 이용하여 계산하며, 각 지배방정식은 최소의 수치분산을 유지하면서 수치해의 안정성을 확보할 수 있는 2차 정확도의 유한체적법을 이용하여 이산화하였다. 수치해석 결과는 레이놀즈수 23,400과 후르드수 0.22의 조건에서 기존에 계측된 자료와 비교하여 수치모형의 정확도를 평가하고 하상 단차 하류부에서의 흐름 거동 특성을 분석한다. 계산 결과는 공학적으로 널리 사용되는 RANS 수치모의에서 볼 수 없는 전단층과 난류구조의 동적 거동 특성과 이에 따른 레이놀즈 응력분포의 특성을 설명해준다.

  • The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of acute exercise on blood vaspin, glucose level, and inflammatory cytokines in middle-aged women with pre-diabetes. Nineteen middle-aged women (normal women, n = 11) and women with pre-diabetes(n = 8), who were apparently healthy and not taking any medications affecting their blood pressure or blood glucose, participated. Body fatness parameters including body mass index, body fat percentage, and waist circumference were measured using a bio-impedance analyzer. Resting blood pressure was measured in duplicate, and mean values were used for the data analysis. Regardless of group assignments, all subjects participated in a 3-day consecutive walking exercise at an intensity of 65% VO2max targeting an energy expenditure of 1200 kcal (400 kcal per day). The major outcome variables included total cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose, vaspin, interleukin-6, and adiponectin levels. Unlike normal women, women with pre-diabetes had a significant improvement in the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (p < 0.025) with no significant group difference in response to acute exercise. The findings suggest that acute exercise results in a significant improvement in insulin sensitivity without any change in serum vaspin levels in women with pre-diabetes.

  • Objective : This study aimed to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the combination of ultrasound and nerve stimulator guidance in transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TESIs) to manage lumbosacral chronic radicular pain. Methods : Using the combination of nerve stimulator and ultrasound guidance, TESIs were performed in 125 segments of 78 patients who presented with chronic lumbar radicular pain. Demographic characteristics and surgical outcomes were recorded on admission, pre-procedural and post-procedural for 1-week, 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups. The result was measured using the Numeric rating scale (NRS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI). Results : Patients who received TESIs showed significant improvements on two evaluation tools (NRS, ODI), compared to that before procedure (p<0.001). No significant complications were observed for 6 months' follow-up. Conclusion : The result suggests that a combination of ultrasound and nerve stimulator guidance in transforaminal epidural injections is safe, reliable and effective for short-term management of lumbar disc herniation. It is a promising technique and has shown good results in providing intermediate pain relief.

  • To develop the bright-vivid red- and yellow-inorganic fluorescent pigments with high luminescence properties, A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) and Cs2V4O11 inorganic pigments were synthesized by a water assisted solid state reaction (WASSR) method and a conventional solid state reaction method. Although impurity peaks corresponding to the AVO3 and AV3O8 (A = K, Rb, and Cs) were observed in all samples prepared, the trigonal structure A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) and orthorhombic structure Cs2V4O11 were successfully obtained as a main phase. These inorganic pigments showed the broad absorption band (under 550 nm) originated from CT transitions of VO4 polyhedron, and the strong broad red- and green-emission bands due to 3T21A1 and 3T11A1 transitions of the [VO4]3- group. The A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) and Cs2V4O11 pigments showed a bright-vivid red- and yellow-body color, where the a* values of the A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) were +35.5 and +45.9, respectively, and b* value of Cs2V4O11 pigments was +50.3. The L* values of the A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) and Cs2V4O11 inorganic pigments were over +45. These results indicate that the A3V5O14 (A = K and Rb) and Cs2V4O11 inorganic pigments could be an attractive candidate as a bright-vivid red- and yellow inorganic pigments.

  • $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems, bulk and deposited on different supports (five types of $\gamma$-aluminas, $\alpha$-alumina, silica-alumina, silica gel, magnesium oxide), have been tested in the oxidative dehydrogenation (ODH) of iso-butane. Catalytic performance of VSb oxides has shown to be highly dependent on the support and the nature of the support decreasing in a series: $\gamma$-$Al_2O_3$ > $\alpha$-$Al_2O_3$ > Si-Al-O > $SiO_2$ $\approx$ MgO $\gg$ unsupported. Variation of the V-Sb-O-loading in the studied range of coverage (0.5-2 theoretical monolayer) only slightly influences the catalysts' activity and selectivity. The best catalytic performance of $\gamma$-alumina-supported $V_{0.9}Sb_{0.1}O_x$ systems can be explained by the optimal surface interaction between support and supported components resulting in the formation of well-spread amorphous active $VO_x$-component with vanadium in a high oxidation state.

  • Recently researches that apply P2P networks to VOD streaming have been actively published In the previous works on VOD streaming, they aimed at achieving two major goals, which are zero-delay transmission and minimization of service rejection ratio. This paper proposes a new method, called ForwardCast, for VOD streaming based on a P2P-based multicasting tree in order to achieve theses two goals. In this method,- basically a new client selects one of the preceding clients and starts receiving a whole video from the selected one without any delay. In some situation, two preceding clients are selected to transfer the ending part of the video and its the remaining part simultaneously. In our experiment, ForwardCast can reduce the rejection ratio compared to previous works without increasing server stress.

  • The cation exchange membrane using TPA (tungstophosphoric acid) and the block co-polymer of polysulfone and polyphenylenesulfidesulfone was prepared for a separator of all-vanadium redox flow battery. The membrane resistance of the prepared cation exchange membrane in 1mol/L $H_2SO_4$ aqueous solution was measured. The membrane resistance of the prepared Psf-PPSS and Psf-TPA-PPSS cation exchange membrane was about $0.94{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$. Electrochemical property of all-vanadium redox flow battery using the prepared cation exchange membrane was measured. The measured charge-discharge cell resistance of V-RFB at 4 A decreased in the order; Nafion117 < Psf-TPA-PPSS < Psf-PPSS. The durability of membrane was earried out by soaking it in $VO_2{^+}$ solution and evaluated by measuring the charge-discharge cell resistance of V-RFB with an increase of soaking time. The prepared Psf-PPSS cation exchange membrane had high durability and Psf-TPA-PPSS cation exchange membrane had almost same durability compared with Nafion117.

  • Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of an ethyl-substituted tetracyclododecene (8-ethyltetracyclo[$4.4.0.1^{2,5}.1^{7,10}$] dodec-3-ene, Et-TCD) was carried out in the presence of a ternary catalyst system consisting of $WCl_6$, triisobutyl aluminium (iso$Bu_3Al$), and ethanol. The optimal molar ratio of Et-TCD/$WCl_3$/iso-$Bu_3Al$/ethanol was found as 500/1/3/2 at which the yield of ring-opened polymer was 100%. 1-Hexene was shown to be an effective molecular weight controlling agent for ROMP reaction of Et-TCD. The hydrogenation of the ring opened polymer (p-Et-TCD) was conducted successfully using Pd(5 wt %)/${\gamma}$-$Al_2O_3$ at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Chemical structures of p-Et-TCD and its hydrogenated product($H_2$-p-Et-TCD) were characterized using 2D NMR techniques ($^1H-^1H$ COSY and $^1H-^{13}C$ HSQC). The changes of physical properties such as thermal stability, glass transition temperature and light transmittance after the hydrogenation were also investigated using TGA, DSC, and UV.
