  • The comparative results of corrosion testing in humid tropical atmosphere in rural and coastal areas for hot dipped zinc coatings are presented below. The test was conducted in outdoor conditions over a period of five years. The mass loss and other performance characteristics of two types of zinc coatings were evaluated, analysed and discussed in relation to the climatic and environmental parameters. The corrosion rates of the coatings exposed to coastal conditions were about three times higher than the corrosion rates appreciated in rural conditions. The data demonstrates that the corrosion process obeys an equation of the form $M=At^n$, where M is the loss of metal and t is the time of exposure. A and n are constants which values depend on the environmental characteristics and the physicochemical behavior of the corrosion products respectively. Corrosion is strongly influenced by atmospheric time of wetness (TOW) and airborne salinity. The nature and composition of corrosion products are also considered. Simonkolleite, a major crystalline phase, was found in the zinc corrosion products exposed to coastal conditions, while zinc hydroxide and zinc hydrosulfate are easily found in rural settings.

  • Objectives: Unprotected leisure time exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun or artificial tanning beds is the most important environmental risk factor for melanoma, a malignant skin cancer with increasing incidences over the past decades. The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of skin health information provided by several sources and different publishing issues on knowledge, risk perception, and sun protective behavior of sunbathers. Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among Austrian residents (n=563) spending leisure time outdoors in August 2010. Results: Print media, television, and family were perceived as the most relevant sources of information on skin health, whereas the source physician was only ranked as fourth important source. Compared to other sources, information provided by doctors positively influenced participants' knowledge on skin risk and sun protective behavior resulting in higher scores in the knowledge test (p=0.009), higher risk perception (p<0.001), and more sun protection (p<0.001). Regarding gender differences, internet was more often used by males as health information source, whereas females were more familiar with printed information material in general. Conclusions: The results of this survey put emphasis on the demand for information provided by medical professionals in order to attain effective, long-lasting promotion of photoprotective habits.

  • In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system(DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. Thus these features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment.For the purpose of applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B lymphocyte(B cell), each environmental condition as an antigen, and a behavior strategy as an antibody respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental codintion changes, a robot select an appropriate beharior stategy. And its behavior stategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communiation. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control scheme is based on clonal selection and idotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm stragegy.

  • 본 연구는 경상남도 김해시의 유효응답자수 569명의 응답을 바탕으로 환경관련 행동을 생활환경 여건과 비교하여 환경문제에 대한 인식과 환경관련 행동에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 환경행동 항목별 실천정도에 대한 상관분석 결과 법률 또를 조례로 정하여 규제하고 있는 항목에 대해서는 실천정도가 높게 나타났다. 다만 환경보전의식이 낮은 사람의 경우에는 모든 항목에서 실천의지가 낮게 나타났다. 사회적 변수에 의한 환경관련 항목별 실천정도에 대한 상관분석 결과, 주거형태 측면에서는 전체적으로 공동주택보다는 단독주택 거주자의 실천의식이 높았다. 나이에 따라서는 나이가 많아질수록 환경보전 실천의지가 강한 것으로 나타났으며, 교육수준이 높을수록 실천 강도가 낮았다. 다만 교육수준과 관련해서는 학생집단의 특수성이 반영된 것으로 판단되었다. 환경관련 의식과 실천정도에 대한 분석 결과 제도적인 대응보다는 환경의식의 개선이 필요하며, 환경관련 행동을 위한 정책은 일반화 보다는 성별, 거주유형, 교육수준 등 환경적 특성에 대한 분석을 기반으로 방법을 달리 하는 것이 필요하다.

  • In this paper, we propose a method of cooperative control (T-cell modeling) and selection of group behavior strategy (B-cell modeling) based on immune system in distributed autonomous robotic system (DARS). Immune system is living body's self-protection and self-maintenance system. These features can be applied to decision making of optimal swarm behavior in dynamically changing environment. For applying immune system to DARS, a robot is regarded as a B-cell, each environmental condition as an antigen, a behavior strategy as an antibody and control parameter as a T-cell respectively. The executing process of proposed method is as follows. When the environmental condition changes, a robot selects an appropriate behavior strategy. And its behavior strategy is stimulated and suppressed by other robot using communication. Finally much stimulated strategy is adopted as a swarm behavior strategy. This control school is based on clonal selection and idiotopic network hypothesis. And it is used for decision making of optimal swarm strategy. By T-cell modeling, adaptation ability of robot is enhanced in dynamic environments.

This control scheme is based on clonal selection and immune network hypothesis, and it is used for decision making of the optimal swarm strategy. Adaptation ability of the robot is enhanced by adding T-cell model as a control parameter in dynamic environments.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to identify the influence of knowledge of personal information protection law and nursing patient advocacy on practice of personal information protection among nurses. Methods: The subjects were 130 nurses who have worked for six months or more in the ward of the tertiary or general hospitals. Data were collected from February 20 to March 3, 2023. Results: Factors influencing practice of personal information protection were acting as an advocate (β=.32, p=.004), environmental and educational influences (β=.21, p=.040), knowledge of personal information protection law (β=.19, p=.013) and clinical experience for five years or more but less than ten years (β=.17, p=.036). The regression model showed an explanatory power of 34.0%. Conclusion: Acting as an advocate has the most effect on practice of personal information protection. To promote practice of personal information protection for nurses, it is necessary to provide education related to privacy protection and encourage nursing patient advocacy.

  • The performance of full-scale steel and composite bridge safety barriers under vehicle crash is evaluated by using the nonlinear explicit finite element code LS-DYNA. Two types of vehicles used in this study are passenger car and truck, and the performance criteria considered include structural strength and deformation, occupant protection, and post-crash vehicle behavior. It can be concluded that the composite safety barrier satisfies all performance criteria of vehicle crash. Although the steel safety barrier satisfies the performance criteria of occupant protection and post-crash vehicle behavior, it fails to satisfy the performance criterion of deformation. In all performance evaluations, the composite safety barrier exhibits a superior performance in comparing with the steel safety barrier.

  • 낙석방지망에 대한 기존 연구 결과에 의하면 종래의 낙석방지망에서 발생되는 대표적인 문제점으로 이완성이 없는 횡방향 와이어로프에 의해 발생되는 낙석 중량의 누적현상, 지반과 낙석방지망의 결합지점 부족으로 인한 인발지지력 부족, 낙석의 과도한 충격으로 인한 철망의 빈번한 파손, 낙석방지망의 유지관리 시 철망의 재사용의 어려움 등이 보고되고 있다. 선행 연구를 통해 실내에서의 인장력과 현장실험이 실시되어 새로운 낙석방지망의 효과를 검증한 바 있다. 선행연구에 이어 본 연구에서는 기존의 사각낙석방지망과 비교하여 충격 완화형 육각 낙석방지망의 전체적인 구조적 안정성과 성능을 수치해석적 방법을 통해 점검하는 것에 그 목적이 있으며, 이를 충분히 검토하고 결과를 얻을 수 있도록 수치해석 프로그램이 설정되었다. 수치해석 결과를 종합해볼 때 동일한 단일 셀 간격 뿐만 아니라 동일한 면적비로 비교하더라도 육각 낙석방지망이 사각 낙석방지망에 비해 하중분배 효과가 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 육각 낙석방지망은 낙석하중이 작용할 경우 이를 효율적으로 분산시킴으로써 과도한 하중 집중이 발생하는 것을 피할 수 있어 장기적인 안정성 확보에 유리할 것으로 판단된다.
