The use of Pipelines for long-distance transportation of crude oil, natural gas and similar applications is increasing and has pivotal importance in recent times. High specific strength plays a crucial role in improving transport efficiency through increased pressure and improved laying efficiency through reduced diameter and weight of line pipes. TRIP-based high-strength and high-ductility alloys comprise a mixture of ferrite, bainite, and retained austenite that provide excellent mechanical properties such as dimensional stability, fatigue strength, and impact toughness. This study performs microstructure analysis using both Nital etching and LePera etching methods. At the time of Nital etching, it is difficult to distinctly observe second phase. However, using LePera etching conditions it is possible to distinctly measure the M/A phase and ferrite matrix. The fraction measurement was done using OM and SEM images which give similar results for the average volume fraction of the phases. Although it is possible to distinguish the M/A phase from the SEM image of the sample subjected to LePera etching. However, using Nital etching is nearly impossible. Nital etching is good at specific phase analysis than LePera etching when using SEM images.

Bridge hangers, such as those in suspension and cable-stayed bridges, suffer from cumulative fatigue damage caused by dynamic loads (e.g., cyclic traffic and wind loads) in their service condition. Thus, the identification of damage to hangers is important in preserving the service life of the bridge structure. This study develops a new method for condition assessment of bridge hangers. The tension force of the bridge and the damages in the element level can be identified using the Bayesian optimization method. To improve the number of observed data, the additional mass method is combined the Bayesian optimization method. Numerical studies are presented to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. The influence of different acquisition functions, which include expected improvement (EI), probability-of-improvement (PI), lower confidence bound (LCB), and expected improvement per second (EIPC), on the identification of damage to the bridge hanger is studied. Results show that the errors identified by the EI acquisition function are smaller than those identified by the other acquisition functions. The identification of the damage to the bridge hanger with various types of boundary conditions and different levels of measurement noise are also studied. Results show that both the severity of the damage and the tension force can be identified via the proposed method, thereby verifying the robustness of the proposed method. Compared to the genetic algorithm (GA), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and nonlinear least-square method (NLS), the Bayesian optimization (BO) performs best in identifying the structural damage and tension force.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the exhibition displays and events of the Agro-healing Experience Hall in the Agricultural Technology Exhibition 2018 on satisfaction and revisit intention of visitors. A survey was conducted on visitors of the Agro-healing Experience Hall and the responses of 274 visitors excluding 26 cases with inappropriate responses were analyzed. For psychological measurement, the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), Profile of Mood States (POMS), level of plant gardening experience, satisfaction and loyalty were measured. There was a significant difference among age groups in all four factors of the PRS (repose, fascination, coherence, and legibility). In the case of education level, there was a significant difference in the three factors (repose, fascination, and legibility). In addition, average monthly income showed a significant difference among groups in the two factors (fascination and coherence). As a result of analyzing the mood states of visitors for the exhibition events of the Agro-healing Experience Hall, there was a significant difference among age groups only in the case of vigor (p < .05). As a result of analyzing the correlation between the level of plant gardening activities (3 factors) and PRS (4 factors) in the exhibition events of the Agro-healing Experience Hall, plant preference tendency and plant-related event showed a high positive correlation of 0.5 or more with repose of the PRS factors. A multiple regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of the level of plant gardening activities, PRS and POMS on the satisfaction and loyalty of visitors. As a result, it was found that in terms of relative explanatory power over independent variables affecting satisfaction and revisit intention, fascination had the greatest effect, followed by vigor, fatigue, and occupation (company employee). The results of this study suggest that exhibition events of the Agro-healing Experience Hall affect repose, fascination or vigor of visitors, and thus can be used positively to increase satisfaction and revisit intention of visitors.

자체-감지능 있는 다기능성 나노복합소재를 위해, 투명하고 전도성 있는 카본나노튜브 (CNT)로 코팅된 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(PET)를 함침 방법으로 제조하였다. CNT 코팅의 전기적 광학적 특정의 변화는 함침 횟수와 CNT용액의 농도에 주로 의존하였다. 결과적으로, CNT 코팅의 표면저항과 투과도는 제조공정의 변수들에 따라 예민하게 조절되었다. CNT 코팅의 표면저항은 4점법과 이중 배열법에 의해 측정되었으며, 광학적 투과도는 UV 스펙트럼을 사용하여 평가하였다. CNT 코팅의 표면특성을 측정한 정적 및 동적 접촉각은 상호 일치함을 보여주었다. 함침 코팅수가 증가함에 따라, CNT코팅한 PET의 표면저항은 현저하게 저하했으나, 투명도는 CNT 네트워크의 특성으로 거의 감소하지 않았다. CNT와 인듐틴옥사이드 (ITO)의 계면 및 전기적 특성들은 피로 시험을 통하여 비교하였다. CNT는 2000회 반복 후에도 표면저항의 변화가 없는 반면에, ITO는 1000회 반복까지 표면저항의 급격한 증가를 보여주었다가 안정화하였다. 이는 형상비가 큰 CNT는 전기 접촉점을 계속 유지하는 반면에, 취성이 있는 ITO는 미세 균열이 발생하여 전지 접촉점을 많이 상실하기 때문이다.

일반적인 와전류 검사는 단일 주파수 또는 매우 협소한 주파수 대역을 가지는 정현적 신호 사용하며, 알루미늄과 같은 도체에서 피로 균열 같은 결함을 검출하는데 사용되고 있다. 이에 반하여 펄스 와전류는 아주 넓은 주파수 대역폭을 가지는 펄스 신호를 사용한다. 이것은 여러 주파수를 동시에 사용하는 다중 주파수 와전류 검사를 한번에 수행할 수 있도록 하며, 일상적인 와전류 검사에 비하여 침투 깊이를 더 깊게 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 부식 또는 침식 등에 의한 금속 손실을 평가하기 위한 펄스 와전류 장치를 개발하였다. 개발된 장비는 최대 40 V의 구형 펄스를 발생시키는 펄스 발생기, 수신된 신호를 52 dB까지 증폭하는 증폭기, 16 bit 20MHz의 A/D 변환기, 윈도우 프로그램으로 운영되는 산업용 개인 컴퓨터로 구성하였다. 펄스 와전류 탐촉자는 구동 코일 안에 검출 코일을 삽입한 pancake 형태로 설계 제작하였다. 검출 코일의 출력 신호는 구동 코일에 전압을 끊을 때 갑자기 증가하고 신호의 후반부는 시간에 따라 지수적으로 감소하였으며, 감쇠율을 나타내는 지수 값은 알루미늄 두께가 두꺼울수록 증가하였다.

깊이맵은 3D 입체영상의 생성을 위해 중요한 요소이다. 하지만 깊이 카메라를 이용하여 획득한 깊이맵들은 낮은 해상도를 갖는 단점이 있기 때문에 이를 고해상도로 변환하는 연구들이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 이러한 연구들은 일반적으로 PSNR, Sharpness Degree, Blur Metric 등과 같은 객관적인 평가방법으로 성능을 검증해왔다. 이러한 평가방법 이외에 DIBR로 가상시점(virtual view)을 생성하여 주관적으로 평가하는 연구도 있으나, 입체영상을 생성하여 깊이맵 업샘플링의 성능을 분석하는 것은 많지 않다. 본 논문에서는 다양한 깊이맵 업샘플링 방법들을 이용하여 생성된 입체영상의 주관적 평가와 업샘플링 방법의 객관적 평가 결과의 상관관계 및 선형회귀법을 이용하여 관련성을 분석한다. 실험결과에서는 에지 PSNR이 시각적 피로도와의 상관관계가 가장 높고, Blur Metric은 가장 낮다는 것을 보여준다. 또한 선형회귀에서는 최적의 입체영상을 얻을 수 있는 객관적 평가의 가중치를 구하고, 기존 또는 새로운 업샘플링 알고리즘의 3D성능을 예측할 수 있는 공식을 보여준다.

Objectives : Oriental Medicine Music Therapy is a new way of treating and preventing various diseases and promoting health by means of music specially picked and designed to produce Qi(氣) fitting to an individual person in the areas of the structure of human body, physiological function, pathological change, diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, it can facilitate the efficiency of the treatment much better and faster than only with herb or acupuncture. Equilibrium between body and mind is its originality. Methods : A 38-year old man came to hospital suffering from left side weakness, dysarthria because of cerebral infarction. After one week's medication in the part of neurology, he was sent to the oriental medicine music therapy center, and he took ten times' medical treatments once a day. Before and after the treatments, implementing 'Ink foot print analysis', as for the movement capacity and walking of left side weakness, these results are acquired. Results and Conclusions : 1. Before the oriental medicine music therapy, except the acceleration and deceleration section, within three meters, a right foot's step was measured 30.55 cm and a left foot was measured 15.2 cm, and the step distance was 15.2 cm. After the 10 times treatments, the right foot's step was 112.6 cm, the left foot's step was 113 cm, and the step distance improved to 51.8 cm. 2. The normal person's average step is about 38 cm, and it could be decreased owing to a decreptitude, pain, fatigue, and the weakness of the legs. In spite of all, from the increased 50 cm step measurement with the patient's body condition, it means that his movement capacity is recovered. 3. In the measurement of walking time, before 10 times treatments, it took 46.35 seconds within 6M, but after the treatments, it increased to 7.47 seconds as same as a normal person's walking speed. 4. In insomnia, and the abnormality of a facial muscle, it shows lots of improvement, and even the accuracy of a pronunciation, but despite of the 10 times treatments, the 'ㄹ(r)' sound placed under a vowel is unclear. 5. Before the 10 times' treatments, he can move the left side shoulder with pain and cannot move below the left elbow. After the treatments, the pain was disappeared, and he was able to move over 60 cm without pain. And improving of the movement of fingers, he can beat over 8 times with a drumstick.

Recently, the rate of cesarean section in Korea has been increasing. The results of several previous studies in foreign countries on the emotional responses of cesarean section mothers showed that they might experience difficulties in the mother- infant interaction due to fatigue, lack of early mother - infant interaction, disappointments, anger, feelings of loss of control, and other factors. Human behavior is said to be determined by one's self concept, and self concept is influenced by both internal and external environmental factors. A scale to measure the self concept of cesarean section mothers was needed in order to identify those who might have difficulties in the mother- infant interactions in future. The purposes of this study were to develop a measuring scale, and to test its reliability and validity. The process of this study was as follows. A structured interview was done with 50 cesarean section and vaginal delivery mothers to find their state of emotional reaction after giving birth to their babies. Based on the results of the interviews, a 50 items Likert scale was developed. The self concept of 268 cesarean section and vaginal delivery mothers who were hospitalized at six hospital in seoul were measured, during the period between Feb. 1 and April 30. Reviewing the discriminating power of each item by means of crosstabulation, ten items were selected for the final scale. The reliability and validity of this ten item scale were tested by Cronbach's alpha and t-test, using spss pc＋package. The results of this study and recommendation are as follows. 1. The ten selected items were as follows. I feel pains in my breast. (－) I have a good appetite now. (＋) I feel pains in my flank. (－) I feel fine now. (＋) My body seems to have returned to its prepregnant state. (＋) Thinking of the delivery process, I feel sorry. (－) I want to hold my baby in my arms. (＋) I want to keep my own life, even if I became a mother. (－) I want to delegate the care of the baby to my mother / mother in law. (－) I think baby is my alter ego. (＋) 2. The reliability of this scale was tested by Cronbach's alpha, and the coefficient of this scale was .8066. 3. The construct validity of this scale was tested by means of known group methods. The value of self concept for cesarean section mother was significantly lower than for vaginal delivery mothers(t＝-5.51, df＝266, p＝0.007). 4. The criterion validity of this scale was tested indirectly. Though this scale could discriminate the differences in the self concept between cesarean section and vaginal delivery mothers, the five items on the personal self concept scale didn's show any differences between cesarean section and vaginal delivery mothers. Therefore, the study indicates that those who shows lower values in the personal self concept measurement, that is, lower than 12.03 points, could be regaled as “risk mothers” 5. Further studies using this scale to clarify the influencing factors on negative self concept are strongly recommended.
