This paper reviews studies on information searching behavior in process control systems and discusses some implications learned from previous studies for use in human factors studies on nuclear power plants (NPPs) main control rooms (MCRs). Information searching behavior in NPPs depends on expectancy, value, salience, and effort. The first quantitative scanning model developed by Senders for instrument panel monitoring considered bandwidth (change rate) of instruments as a determining factor in scanning behavior. Senders' model was subsequently elaborated by other researchers to account for value in addition to bandwidth. There is also another type of model based on the operator's situation awareness (SA) which has been developed for NPP application. In these SA-based models, situation-event relations or rules on system dynamics are considered the most significant factor forming expectancy. From the review of previous studies it is recommended that, for NPP application, (1) a set of symptomatic information sources including both changed and unchanged symptoms should be considered along with bandwidth as determining factors governing information searching (or visual sampling) behavior; (2) both data-driven monitoring and knowledge-driven monitoring should be considered and balanced in a systematic way; (3) sound models describing mechanisms of cognitive activities during information searching tasks should be developed so as to bridge studies on information searching behavior and design improvement in HMI; (4) the attention-situation awareness (A-SA) modeling approach should be recognized as a promising approach to be examined further; and (5) information displays should be expected to have totally different characteristics in advanced control rooms. Hence much attention should be devoted to information searching behavior including human-machine interface (HMI) design and human cognitive processes.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine the association of exposures to heavy metals with positive diagnosis for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Tourette's syndrome (TS). Methods : Study participants included 27 children diagnosed with ADHD ($9.9{\pm}2.9$ years of age), 21 diagnosed with Tourette's disorder ($10.7{\pm}2.2$ years of age), and 45 normal control children ($9.6{\pm}0.5$ years of age). A Perkin-Elmer mass spectrometer was used to measure the concentrations of 5 heavy metals (Pb, Cd, U, Be, Hg) in hair samples obtained from each participant. Each heavy metal concentration was compared among the groups by use of a Kruskal-Wallis test. Results : The levels of lead (p=.006) and cadmium (p=.037) observed in the hair of children diagnosed with ADHD were significantly higher than those found in the control subjects. There were no significant differences observed for heavy metal levels when comparing TS and control subjects. Conclusion : We confirmed that lead exposure is a risk factor for ADHD. We also identified that cadmium may be a new candidate risk factor for manifestation of ADHD. We did not find an association between heavy metals and manifestation of TS.

Switched Reluctance Generator attracts much attention because of high effciency, simple controllability with traction drive. But the theories that have been adopted as SRG control methods are complicated up to the present. This paper proposes reference current limitation strategy for stable generation of SRM and switching angle control. The proposed method is verified by simulation and experiments.

The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) outbreak in South Korea in 2015 has drawn public attention regarding the legal regulation of infectious disease control in Korea. This paper discusses the interpretive and legislative concerns regarding the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Act, its ordinance and enforcement regulations, as well as public statements from the relevant administrative agency. Future improvements are also proposed.

The Nuclear power industry today faces a serious and rapidly emerging problem in reactor maintenance and occupational radiation exposure control. The basic problem is the need for much maintenance on nuclear power plants. The problem is seriously compounded by radiation exposure control requirements. Many studies are underway seeking solutions tut the industry is developing rapidly and new plants will not await the results of such studies. It is essential that attention be given to maintenance and exposure control in all phases of plant design, construction and operation.

Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the application of learning control method to robot manipulator control. Because the learning control method does not require an exact dynamic model, it is flexible and easy to implement. In this paper, we implement a learning control scheme which consists of a unique feedforward learning controller and a linear feedback controller. The learning control method does not require acceleration terms that are sensitive to noise and has the capability of rejecting unknown disturbances and adapting itself to time-varying system parameters. The feasibility of the learning control scheme is soon by implementing the control scheme to a commercial robot manipulator and the performance of which is also compared with the conventional linear PID control method.

These days, the fuzzy logic or the fuzzy set theory has received attention from a number of researchers in the area of industrial application. Moreover, the fuzzy logic control has been successfully applied to a large numbers of control problems where the conventional control methods had failed. Using this control theory we designed a climate controller for an automotive climate control system whose mathematical model is difficult. This paper describes an automotive climate control where the fuzzy control has been used to stabilize parameter uncertainties and disturbance effects. To show the validity and effectiveness of the proposed control method, the fuzzy logic controller was implemented with a philips 80C552 microcomputer chip and tested in an actual vehicle. From the experimental results, it could be conduced that the proposed controller is superior to conventional controllers in both control performance and thermal comfort. The climate control system in cars is difficult to model mathematically so we tested a fuzzy logic control system which promised better results.

주의력결핍과잉활동장애는 부주의성, 충동성, 과잉운동증과 이차적인 학습부진을 주요증상으로 하는 질환으로 전학령기 아동의 3-5%정도가 이런 문제를 보이고 있다. 또한 ADHD는 행위장애, 정동장애, 불안장애, 반사회적 인격장애 등 다른 질환과 공존하는 경우가 많이 있다. 전통적인 진단방법은 시간과 경비가 많이 들고, 아동의 증상이 일관성있게 나타나지 않아 진찰실과 같은 상황에서는 과소평가되기 쉬운 단점이 있어, 객관적인 행동평가 방법과 시간과 경비가 적게 소요되면서 장애를 정확히 측정할 수 있는 도구의 개발이 필요하다고 하겠다. 이에 저자는 1987년 Edelbrock에 의해 개발되어 미국내에서 이미 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증된 소아기 집중력 문제척도(CAP scale)의 한국형을 개발하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 검증하고, 한국실정에서 ADHD를 선별할 수 있는 평가도구로 적합한지 여부와 ADHD연구목적에 사용할 수 있는지를 알아보고자 본연구를 시행하였다. 대상은 환자군 98명과 정상대조군 98명으로 하였으며, 진단은 DSM-IV의 기준에 근거하였다. 문항번역은 2인의 신경정신과 전문의에 의해서 이루어졌으며, 혼동이 있는 용어는 피하여 완성하였다. 정상 대조군에서 과잉운동점수이외에 남녀간의 점수차이는 없었으며, 환자군에서도 남녀간의 점수차이는 없었다. 감별타당도에서는 환자군이 대조군보다 각 소척도 및 전체점수에서 모두 높게 나타났으며, 본교실에서 한국형을 개발하여 신뢰도와 타당도를 입증한 ADDES­HV척도와의 공존타당도 검사에서는 환자군에서 0.85, 대조군에서 0.73의 상관계수를 얻었다. 소척도에서 문항간의 내적일치도는 모두 0.4이상으로 나타났으며, 주의산만 소척도와 과잉운동 소척도의 Cronbach의 ${\alpha}$는 각각 0.91, 0.89였다. 검사-재검사 신뢰도에서 주의산만 계수는 0.83, 과잉운동 계수는 0.70, 전체점수의 계수는 0.80으로 모두 만족할 만한 신뢰도 계수를 나타내 안정성이 입증되었다. 판별력 검증에서 정상대조군은 88.9%에서 정상으로, 환자군은 97.9%에서 환자군으로 판별되어 전체판별력이 93.4%로 나타났으며, Cmax 공식을 적용했을 때 86.8%의 판별력의 개선율을 보였다. Eigenvalue 1 이상을 요인추출의 기준으로 삼아 Varimax회전시켜본 결과 4개의 요인이 나왔으며, 각각 산만성요인, 과잉활동요인, 충동성요인, 학습장애요인으로 명명하였다. 본 연구의 결과에서 본 것처럼 ADHD의 독립된 평가도구인 CAP척도의 한국형이 한국인의 ADHD를 평가하기 위한 도구로서 신뢰도와 타당도가 입증되었으며, 향후 ADHD에 관한 연구에 있어서 기여하는 바가 크다고 기대된다.
