  • Understanding a ship's present position has been one of the most important tasks during a ship's voyage, in both ancient and modern times. Particularly, a ship's dead reckoning (DR) has been used for predicting traffic situations and collision avoidance actions. However, the current system that uses the traditional method of calculating DR employs the received position and speed data only. Therefore, it is not applicable for predicting navigation within the harbor limits, owing to the frequent changes in the ship's course and speed in this region. In this study, planned routes were applied for improving the reliability of the proposed system and predicting the traffic patterns in advance. The proposed method of determining the dead reckoning position (DRP) uses not only the ships' received data but also the navigational patterns and tracking data in harbor limits. The Mercator sailing formulas were used for calculating the ships' DRPs and planned routes. The data on the traffic patterns were collected from the automatic identification system and analyzed using MATLAB. Two randomly chosen ships were analyzed for simulating their tracks and comparing the DR method during the timeframes of the ships' movement. The proposed method of calculating DR, combined with the information on planned routes and DRPs, is expected to contribute towards improving the decision-making abilities of operators.

  • Near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) was employed to qualify and quantify on survival, the injury rate and apoptosis of the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 cells. MCF-7 cells were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FCS in a 95% air and 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37$^{\circ}C$. For the viable cells preparation, cells were de-touched by 0.1% of trypsin treatment and washed with RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS medium by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 3min. For the dead cells preparation, cells were de-touched by a cell scraper. The cells were counted by a hemacytometer, and the viability was estimated by the exclusion method with frypan blue dye. Each viable and dead cells were suspended in PBS (phosphate bufferred saline) or milk at the cell density desired. For the quantitative determination of cell death by measuring the LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) activity liberated from cells with cell membrane injuries, LDH-Cytotoxic Test Wako (Wako, Pure Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd., Japan) was used. We found that NIRS measurement of MCF-7 cells at the density range could evaluate and monitor the different characteristics of living cells and dead cells. The spectral analysis was performed in two wavelength ranges and with 1,4, 10 mm pathlength. Different spectral data pretreatment and chemometrics methods were used. We applied SIMCA classificator on spectral data of living and dead cells and obtained good accuracy when identifying each class. Bigger variation in the spectra of living cells with different concentrations was observed when compared to the same concentrations of dead cells. PLS was used to measure the number of cells in PBS. The best model for measurement of dead cells, as well as living cells, was developed when raw spectra in the 600-1098 nm region and 4 mm pathlength were used. Smoothing and second derivative spectral data pretreatment gave worst results. The analysis of PLS loading explained this result with the scatter effect found in the raw spectra and increased with the number of cells. Calibration for cell count in the 1100-2500 nm region showed to be very inaccurate.

  • 본 연구에서는 영동지역의 대표 수종인 소나무와 떡갈나무를 대상으로 주요 부위별 열적특성을 고찰하고자 콘칼로리미터 시험을 수행하여 중량변화, 착화시간, 화염유지시간, 발열량 그리고 CO와 $CO_2$ 배출농도를 비교 분석하였다. 소나무와 떡갈나무 모두 가지의 총중량감소가 가장 크게 나타났으며, 낙엽의 착화시간이 9 s 정도로서 가장 빠르게 나타났다. 낙엽과 수피부위의 화염유지시간은 $640{\sim}1,016s$ 정도였으며, 총방출열량은 낙엽비 생엽의 2배 정도인 60.1 $MJ/m^2$로 가장 높게 나타났다. 또한, CO 및 $CO_2$의 최대 배출농도는 떡갈나무의 가지부위가 소나무의 가지보다 2.82배 이상 높게 나타남으로써 소나무와 떡갈나무의 열적특성은 부위별로 많은 차이가 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 일반적으로 유도 진동기의 속도는 엔코더를 사용하여 측정되며, 측정된 평균 속도는 필연적인 시간 지연과 시스템 노이즈 등을 포함하고, 저속 운전시에는 운전 성능을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 시스템 안정성에도 문제를 일으킨다. 또한 인버터의 데드 타임 효과, 스위칭 소자의 순전압 강하등의 영향으로 발생하는 부정확한 인버터 출력 전압은 토크 리플을 발생시키고 이는 저속 영역에서 더욱 크게 나타난다. 따라서 유도 전동기의 저속 영역에서의 운전 성능을 향상시키기 위하여는 위의 두가지 문제점을 해결하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 칼만 필터를 이용한 유도 전동기의 정확한 순시 속도 추정과, 데드 타임 및 스위칭 소자의 순전압 강하 보상을 통한 인버터 출력 특성의 개선 방법을 제안하고, 유도 전동기의 극저속 운전 성능을 개선하였다.

  • The gyroscopes have been used as a suitable inertial instrument for the navigation guidance and attitude controls. The accuracy as very sensitive sensor is limited by the lock-in region (dead band) due to the frequency coupling between two counter-propagating waves at low rotation rates. This frequency coupling gives no phase difference, and an angular increment is not detected. This problem can be overcome by mechanically dithering the gyroscope. This paper presents the design method of mechanical dither by the theoretical considerations and the verification of the theoretical equations through FEM applications. As a result, comparing to the past result, the maximum prediction error of resonant frequency was within 3 percent and peak dither rate was within 5 percent. It was found that the theoretical equations can be feasible for the mechanical performance of dither.

  • This paper presents a design of novel 2-phase 6/5 switched reluctance motor (SRM) for an air-blower application. This type of motor is suitable for the applications that require high speed and only one directional rotation as air-blower. The desired air-blower is unidirectional application, and requires a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone. In order to get a wide positive torque region without torque dead-zone during phase commutation, asymmetric inductance characteristic with non-uniform air-gap is considered. The proposed motor can be operated at any rotor position. The proposed 6/5 SRM uses short flux path technique that achieved by means of winding configuration and lamination geometry. The purpose of short flux path is to reduce the core loss and the absorption MMF in the stator. The proposed 2-phase 6/5 SRM is verified by finite element method (FEM) analysis and Matlab-Simulink. In order to verify the design, a prototype of the proposed motor was manufactured for practical system.

  • 자이로스콥은 네비게이션을 가이드하거나 특성을 제어하는데 적절한 관성 측정도구로 사용되었다. 매우 민감 한 센서로서의 정확성은 저회전율 역전파 사이의 진동수 커플링으로 인한 폐쇄영역(데드 밴드)으로 결정된다. 이 진동 커플링은 위상차가 없으며, 각증분 값은 검출되지 않는다. 이 문제는 자이로스콥의 기계적인 진동으로 해결될 수 있다. 본 논문은 FEM을 통해 이론적 식들의 이론적 고려사항과 증명의 방법으로 기계 진동의 설계방법을 제시한 것 이다. 결과적으로, 공명 진동수와 최대 진동률의 최대 예측 오차는 5 %이하였다. 진동의 기계적 성능을 위한 이론식 들은 타당하다고 할 수 있다.

  • Purpose: The jejunal free flap is the most standard and reliable procedure of reconstruction of the circumferential pharyngoesophageal defect because it provides pliable, elastic, secreting mucosa and posses reliable vascular anatomy. In this report, the authors introduce the modification of jejunal free flap for decreasing the complications in fatty complicated patients. Method: After harvesting the jejunum with mesentery and mesenteric vessels, both ends of jejunum were excised remaining the mesenteric portion. The jejunal portion of this composite flap was placed to reconstruct esophagopharyngeal defect area and the mesenteric portion was used to obliterate the dead space at paratracheal region and to cover the vital structure and the vascular anastomotic region. Result: A 72 year-old man with recurrent hypopharyngeal cancer who had about 15 cm sized circumferential pharyngoesophageal defect after total pharyngectomy was reconstructed with jejunomesenteric composite free flap without any complications. Conclusion: The mesenteric flaps at both side of jejunomesenteric composite free flap provide the advantages that could obliterate dead space, that could provide cover for the vital cervical vascular structure in case of vascularity was compromised due to previous radiation therapy, and that could preserve as much vascularity at both ends of jejunal flap as possible.

  • Rhizina undulata is the fungus, which causes Rhizina root rot on coniferous trees. Nested-PCR using ITS-specific primer was applied to detect R. undulata from the soils of Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergil) forests infested with the disease in Seocheon, Chungnam Province, South Korea. Soil samples were collected from four different sites, both dead trees and fruit bodies of R. undulata were present, dead trees only present, fruit bodies only present, and both were absent. Nested-PCR products specific to R. undulata ITS-region were amplified. Positive reactions were found in some samples from the sites, where dead trees and fruit bodies of R. undulata were absent as well as where both of those were present. R. undulata was mainly detected in the soil samples from the depth of 5~20 cm under the soil surface. These results show that the nested-PCR could be used to diagnose the presence or potential infestation of R. undulata in the soils of pine forests.
