치아과민증은 치아의 병적인 증세는 아니지만 치아뿌리가 잇몸밖으로 노출되어 외부의 자극에 대한 민감한 반응으로 환자가 통증을 느끼는 것을 말한다. 칫솔질이나 잇몸질환 등의 다양한 원인이 있으며 치료를 위해서는 자극을 줄여 주는 방법으로 치아과민치료활성이 있는 물질을 이용하거나 레진으로 들어난 치주를 도포하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서 수산화인회석과 인산삼칼슘을 혼합하여 만든 치약과 시중에 판매하고 있는 불소함유치약을 4주간 사용하면서 치주과민성 치료효과를 비교 조사하였다. 첨가한 수산화인회석과 인산삼칼슘의 순도는 XRD분석결과 99% 이상으로 나타났으며, 제조한 치약(Hap-TCP)에는 각각 10%와 19%(W/W) 되게 첨가하였다. 치아과민성 치료효과를 VRS값으로 조사한 결과 사용직후에는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, 1주후에는 대조군에 비해 8% 통증감소효과가 나타났고, 2주와 4주 후에는 각각 30%와 60%정도 통증감소효과가 나타났다. 그리고 냉자극에 대한 지각과민증을 VAS값으로 조사한 결과도 초기에는 차이가 없었으나, 1주, 2주, 4주 후에 측정한 결과 기간에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다. 4주후에는 VAS값이 3배이상 차이를 보였다. 이 결과는 현미경관찰에서도 확인이 되어진 것과 같이 수산화인회석이 확장된 상아세관들을 메우고, 구강내의 칼슘, 인 등 이온평형을 인산삼칼슘이 조절하여 메워진 상아세관을 안정적으로 자리를 잡도록 도와주는 재석회화현상으로 치아과민증상을 완화하는 것으로 확인되었다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to analyze the efficiency of retail businesses by dividing domestic retailers into discount stores, super supermarkets (SSMs), and department stores. It suggests retail-business investment strategies by using data environment analysis (DEA) to analyze how input elements such as store area, parking lot area, number of employees, and sales management expenses for the convenience of customers positively affect business performance measurements such as sales and visiting customers per day. Research Design, Data, and Methodology - The DEA model calculates a ratio of the weighted mean of various inputs to the weighted mean of various outputs and measures the efficiency of a specific decision making unit (DMU). The study included 19 companies (five discount store DMUs, ten SSM DMUs, and four department store DMUs). Because the business elements and sizes of retail store DMUs used in this analysis are different, average per-store input and output variables were used. Data were collected from "The Yearbook of Retail Industry in Korea (2012)." DEA analysis was used to determine differences in efficiency among discount stores, SSMs, and department stores in terms of the business elements of each retail business. It was also used to determine what business elements were excessively invested in by comparing and analyzing efficiency by business elements using SPSS software's ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Results - The CCR and BCC efficiency analysis found that the efficiency of discount stores is low. We believe that the saturation state of discount stores is a major factor. The ANOVA analysis confirms the VRS hypothesis with a statistically significant difference among the three groups, based on an analysis confidence interval of 95%. CRS and SE were not found to be significantly different among the three groups. As for the post hoc test, which concretely shows differences by group, the Scheffe's multiple comparison analysis test found the average differences between group 1 (discount stores) and group 2 (SSM) to be statistically significant. Conclusions - The DEA efficiency analysis implies that investment in input elements, including store area, parking lot area, and sales management expenses, were excessive in the case of discount stores, while SSMs need to invest more in promotion activities such as gifts, events, and coupons for customer management. Department stores have found that small companies invest excessively in input elements. Department stores need to invest in differentiated shopping mall complexes. This study was limited in acquiring statistical data; various input variables which might have shown more secure customer management and promotional expenses could not be applied. As the study was limited in various aspects of the efficiency analyses because financial analyses of the companies and of causal relationships, including satisfaction and loyalty of visiting customers, were not done, these aspects will be examined in the next study.

Purpose : This study aims to investigate into the change in muscle power, pain and muscle tension upon application of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound (US) at trigger point (TrP) of the Scapular inter angle. Methods : In total of 24 human subjects that experience pain upon stimulation at the scapular inter angle were recruited. They were divided into three groups: control, ESWT and US group. Each group was subjected to appropriate stimulation three times per week for four weeks except the control group which had no restrictions in lifestyle. The ESWT group was subjected to Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy with a 2 $cm^2$ head, 20 times at speed of application of 60 pulses/min and depth of intrusion of 25 mm Whereas the US group was subject to Ultra sound therapy with 1$cm^2$ head, 1 MHz in frequency, 1.5 W/$cm^2$ of strength with five minutes of continuous application. Measurements were performed immediately prior to and at the end of the experiment. Results : There was no statistical significance in the change in muscle tension and muscle power as well as the difference between both groups before and after the experiment. VAS and VRS, all of which indicates changes in pain level, had statistically significant differences between them in pretest posttest comparisons. However, ESWT was superior to US in terms of decreasing muscle tension and pain while increasing muscle power. Conclusion : This study has made it evident that ESWT is far more reasonable to apply to TrP.

차량 항법장치에서 활용하고 있는 GNSS는 차분기법을 이용하더라도 수 미터 수준의 측위 정밀도를 확보할 수 있으므로, 길안내 수준의 위치기반서비스만 가능하다. 반면 정밀 측지/측량분야에서는 민간용 코드 대신 반송파 위상정보를 이용하여 센티미터에서 밀리미터까지의 위치 정확도를 확보할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국토교통부 국토지리정보원의 NRTK(Network-RTK) 서비스를 차량항법에 적용하기 위한 기반연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해, 차량에 GNSS 장비를 탑재하고 전국범위에서 NRTK를 수행하였으며, 그 결과를 바탕으로 NRTK의 차량항법 적용가능 여부를 판단하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과, NRTK는 대체적으로 높은 모호정수 결정율을 보이며, 지상 차량항법에 충분히 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 다만, 도심지에서는 모호정수 결정율이 급격히 낮아지며, 실수해일 경우에는 측위 오차가 10m 이상의 수준에 달할 정도로 불안정할 수 있다. 따라서 안정적인 위치정확도를 확보하기 위해서는 실수해의 오차영향을 최소화할 수 있는 방안 등이 모색되어야 할 것으로 사료된다. 그러나 수신환경이 양호한 일부 도심지에서는 NRTK를 활용하여 센티미터 수준의 측위 정확도를 확보할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. FKP는 고속 주행 시 모호정수 결정율이 약 55%까지 낮아지는 경우가 발생하였으므로 여러 수신환경을 고려하여 측위 정확도를 결정하여야 한다. 마지막으로 대기교란(2단계 이상)에 의해 NRTK(FKP) 접속오류로 의심되는 사례가 발생하였으며, 이에 대한 정확한 원인규명이 필요하다.

Many out patients of the rehabilitation center complaint a pain caused by suffering of MPS, and it brings many different kind of social and ecinomical problems such as medical expenses and the reduction in work efficiency. Therefore, we conducted a research to present a fast and effective treatment to the MPS patients. this research was conducted from November, 1996 to January 1998 with eighteen outpatients who agreed to be the subjects to our reserach. We applied the electric acupuncture on 28 different trigger point on the patients with mostly muscular-skeletal pain and some tender and radiating pain. After the treatment, VRS, VAS, PRI were used to measure the degree of the pain on the patients third and seventh visits, and following results were found. 1. To apply EAP treatment, we acupunctured 6em-Iong needles on Tps region, then the electrodes of pulse generater pg-306 E.S.T were connected on the top of the needles. the electric acupuncture therapy was conducted for 20 minutes with the intensity of 4hz - 60hz(auto wave). The treated electric intensity was the level at which the patients did not feel discomfort. 2. Thirteen out of the 18 participated patients were in their 30s and 40s(72.2%), showing highest frequency. There were more female than male with the ratio of 1 to 1:2. 3. six out of the participated patients (33.3%) had the pain for less then a week, and the average duration of the pain of the participated patients wear 0.8 years. 4. The pain occured mostly in the upper trapezius by 6 part (21.4%), then in the gluteus medius region by 4 part (14.3%). Many of the patients with the pain in the upper back area accompanied varios kind of the referred pains such as radiculopathy, HIVD and Frozen shoulder. 5. MPS occured more frequently on the right side than left side then left side and it seemed to be due to the frequent use of the right hand. 6. There was almost no difference in the measurement of the intensity of the pain right before and after the EAP treatment. Howerver, there was significant decrease in the numerical values of the VAS, and a little bit of decrease in the numerical values of the PRI after the EAP treatment. 7. Based on the results of this present research, it can be concluded that EAP can be used for the treating the myofascial pain syndrome with promptness and safety in most cases.

Purpose - The method of TV home shopping is a kind of retail method that provides the viewer with information about products and, further, sells the products to consumers through the media of television. The domestic home-shopping industry has been expanding since 1995, and there are six companies in this arena as of 2012. In this study, we evaluate the management efficiency of TV home-shopping companies and provide suggestions for improving efficiency, using the DEA (data envelopment analysis) model. Hence, we expect to contribute to the progress of the companies' efficiency and the development of the TV home-shopping industry, where deepening competition is inevitable because it is experiencing the maturing market stage in its life cycle. Research design, data, and methodology - Efficiency is the ratio of the quantity of input to the quantity of output of a product or service. It is necessary to estimate aggregate inputs and aggregate outputs, which are calculated by applying a weighting to a number of input and output factors, to measure the efficiency. The DEA model is divided into the CCR model and the BCC model. The CCR model is a basic model that assumed constant returns to scale (CRS), and the BCC model extends the CCR model to accommodate technologies exhibiting variable returns to scale (VRS), and concerns only the technical efficiency without considering the efficiency of returns to scale. In this study, we consider six companies each year from 2008 to 2012 as a DMU (Decision Making Unit) and analyze the differences in efficiency for each company in each year. Furthermore, we evaluate the operating characteristics of TV home-shopping companies, using three models, in accordance with the overall performance, profitability, and marketability of the business. Results - The result of the analysis, using DEA models, shows that Hyundai Home Shopping (2009, 2010, 2011), GS Home Shopping (2011), NS Home Shopping (2011) and CJ O Shopping (2012) possess MPSS (most productive scale size), with a score 1.0 in CCR, BCC, and scale efficiency. Particularly, Hyundai Home Shopping is shown to be the most efficient in terms of overall business performance, marketability, and profitability. The overall efficiency of the home shopping industry has displayed an increasing trend since 2008, even though it decreased marginally in 2012; further, we can observe that home shopping companies operate with increasing efficiency with the passage of time. Conclusions - Home shopping companies have focused on market expansion rather than profits, as they displayed better efficiency in marketability than increase in profitability during the period 2008-2012. In addition, the main reason for the increased efficiency in the home shopping industry is the market expansion through the revenue increase of each home shopping company. This study can be used as a reference when home shopping companies attempt to devise future strategies, as it suggests efficiency benchmarks and development levels for each home shopping company.

QZSS (Quasi-Zenith Satellite System)는 위성의 L6 밴드를 통해서 CLAS (Centimeter Level Augmentation Service)를 제공한다. CLAS는 현재 GPS (Global Positioing System), Galileo 그리고, QZSS 위성군에 대한 보정정보를 제공하며, 이러한 보정정보를 C-SSR (Compact - Space State Representation)라고 한다. 본 연구에서는 L6 밴드를 수신할 수 있는 GPS 수신기인 Septentrio의 AsteRx4를 이용하여 CLAS 메시지를 수신하고, 그 메시지를 디코딩하여 C-SSR을 획득하였다. 그리고, GPS, Galileo, QZSS의 코드의사거리 관측치에 Compact SSR을 적용하여 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) 오차를 보정하고, 비선형 최소제곱법으로 수신기의 3차원 위치 및 위성군의 시계오차들을 추정하는 다중 위성항법 기반의 Code-PPP (Precise Point Positioning)를 개발하였다. 개발한 알고리즘의 정확도를 평가하기 위해서 IGS (International GNSS Service) 사이트 중 하나인 TSK2 (Tsukuba)를 대상으로 정지측위를 수행하고, 일본의 가와니시(Kawanishi)시의 이나강(Ina river) 주변을 주행하며 이동측위를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 정지측위의 경우 모든 데이터셋의 평균 RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)는 수평방향으로 0.35 m, 수직방향으로 0.57 m의 정확도를 나타냈다. 그리고 이동측위의 경우 VRS의 RTK-FIX 값과 비교해 봤을 때 수평방향은 약 0.82 m, 수직방향은 약 3.56 m의 정확도를 나타냈다.
