Reactions of NO$_{x}$, HO$_{x}$ and $O_3$ chemistry in a diffusion process of the exhaust plume under a stratospheric condition were investigated numerically. Expanding Box method was used to assess the effects of exhaust gases from a stratospheric flight system on $O_3$ depletions. Sensitivity analysis was also performed to identify prime reactions of $O_3$ depletions in an exhaust plume right after the nozzle. In addition, a calculation of reactive flows in stratospheric condition was performed to investigate the characteristics of reactions in a plume. As a result of this study, prime reactions of NO$_{x}$, HO$_{x}$ and $O_3$chemistry in an exhaust plume were identified, and fundamental behavior of chemical species were examined in a exhaust plume.t plume.

For the prediction of sloshing in the propellant tank of rocket vehicle utilized in RVT (reusable rocket vehicle testing) conducted by ISAS/JAXA, the flow field in the propellant tank during the ballistic flight was experimentally reproduced with the sub-scale model of it. The lateral acceleration as large as about 0.8 G was provided with a mechanical exciter and the deformation of liquid surface in the vessel was visualized with a high-speed camera. The several con-figurations of damping devices were installed and tested in the vessel, which should keep the ullage gas away from the outlet port. It was consequently suggested that the combination of a baffle plate and a perforated cylinder could be effective against the gas suction before the re-ignition of the engine. The sloshing phenomena were also simulated with the CFD code, called CIP-LSM. The numerical results showed good agreement with the corresponding data obtained in the experiment.

The objective of this study is to investigate freight forwarders' airline choice behaviors in the Korean air cargo transportation market. This study identifies the major factors affecting airline choice and their relative importance by analyzing the data gathered by the survey from freight forwarders in Seoul. The questionnaire of the survey is composed of two parts; the first part is to identify the significant variables of airline choice and the second part is to gather the data about airline choice using stated preference techniques. The relative importance of major variables considered in forwarders' airline choice is estimated by the logit models calibrated with stated preference data. To strength the reliability of the analysis, this study segments the market by three routes; Seoul-Los Angeles, Seoul-Amsterdam and Seoul-Hongkong. The five major variables that are considered seriously in airline choice are reliability, space availability, frequency, cost and flight schedule. The utility trade-offs between variables are estimated by the ratio analysis of coefficients of logit model of each route, and the results of ratio analysis is interpreted as reflecting the reality of market conditions.

Previously study on structural design of the main wing of the twenty-seat class WIG(Wing in Ground Effect) craft. In the final design, three spars construction was selected for safety in the critical flight load, and the Carbon-Epoxy material was selected for lightness and structural stability. In this study, the forced vibration analysis was performed on the composite main wing structure of the twenty-seat class WIG craft with two-stroke pusher type reciprocating engine. The vibration analysis based on the finite element method was performed using a commercial FEM code, MSC/NASTRAN. Excitations for the frequency response analysis were assumed as the H-mode(horizontal mode), the V-mode(vertical mode) and the X-mode(twisted mode) which are typical main vibration modes of engine. And excitations for the transient response analysis were assumed as the L-mode(longitudinal mode) with the oscillating propeller thrust which occurs in operation. According to the result of forced vibration analysis, structural design was modified to reduce the vibrations.

Accurate aerodynamic characterization of projectile is crucial for successful development of munition. The aerodynamic characterization of fin stabilized projectile is more difficult than characterization of traditional symmetric ballistic projectile. Instrumented free flight experiments were conducted to quantify rolling behavior of fin stabilized projectile. The instrumented projectiles were launched from a rifled tube and the onboard sensor data were acquired through a telemetry transmitter. Roll rate was measured for fin stabilized projectile by means of an angular rate sensor. And, roll damping coefficients were estimated from onboard sensor data acquired during gun firing and trajectory analysis of mathematical model.

The proportion of airline accidents caused by human factors is steadily increasing. The aviation industry has made considerable progress in reducing the accident rate; however, since the early 1980s, the accident rate has remained constant. Due to airspace congestion, the safety margins of these existing safety promotion methods are gradually decreasing; thus, new methods to prevent accidents and quasi-accidents must be devised. Causative factors of aviation accidents include increased air traffic due to increased air demand, increased cumulative working hours due to long-distance flights, and complicated flight environments. Accidents often occur when several small errors accumulate in the normal course of operation, rather than after a single error. Accordingly, in this study, the impacts on air navigation due to human error by aviation maintenance personnel and varying international standards (i.e., KOCA vs. F.A.A vs. EASA) analyzed, and the relationship between human decision-making and behavior was investigated. The resulting safety analysis and alternatives were presented to prevent aviation maintenance accidents and cognitive ergonomics errors.

When the COVID-19 crisis hit air transport, the whole aviation industry was affected. The change in the behavior of passengers following the COVID-19 crisis, travel restrictions and the ensuing economic crisis have resulted in a dramatic drop in demand for airline services. The COVID-19 pandemic, with all its associated consequences, has had a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of pilots, which could impact operational safety. As the number of international flights has decreased, pilots are exposed to high levels of psychological stress such as job instability, reduced income and increased risk of infection during flight work. Psychological stress lowers work performance and threatens aviation safety. The pilot needs mental health management during the COVID-19 pandemic, but psychological support is weak. For pilot mental health management, it is important to raise awareness about mental health and to continuously respond. To this end, it is necessary to foster a safe and trustworthy culture in which mental health issues are discussed freely and solved together without hiding them. They should also support the establishment of a peer support program that is easily accessible and that allows pilots to discuss their issues with confidence.

항공교통 수요 증가로 항공기의 운항이 증가하면서 항공기 동체와 조류가 충돌하는 조류 충돌 사고가 매년 증가하고 있다. 이에 각 공항에서는 조류 충돌 사고기록을 바탕으로 항공기에 피해를 줄 것으로 예상되는 조류 종을 파악하고 순위를 매겨 충돌 위험을 효과적으로 평가 및 관리할 수 있는 연구를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구는 김포, 김해 및 제주국제공항에서 2005년부터 2013년까지 수집된 통합운항정보시스템 (Integrated Flight Information Service, IFIS) 자료를 바탕으로 항공기에 피해를 줄 것으로 예측되는 조류 종을 파악하고, 단일 및 다중 매트릭스 모델 간 위험성 평가 결과를 비교 분석 및 고찰하기 위해 수행되었다. 단일 매트릭스 모델을 통한 평가 결과 김포국제공항 및 김해국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리 2종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 갈매기류, 비둘기류 및 까마귀류가, 제주국제공항에서는 독수리, 까치 2종과 기러기류, 오리류, 갈매기류, 비둘기류 및 까마귀류가 '매우 높음' 또는 '높음'으로 평가되었다. 다중 매트릭스 모델을 통한 평가 결과 김포국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리, 까치 3종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 도요류 및 비둘기류가, 김해국제공항에서는 왜가리, 독수리, 찌르레기, 까치 4종과 백로류, 기러기류, 오리류, 도요류 및 비둘기류가, 제주국제공항에서는 왜가리, 까치 2종과 오리류, 도요류, 비둘기류가 '매우 심각' 또는 '매우 높음'으로 평가되었다. 모델 간 예측 결과에 있어 김포국제공항과 김해국제공항은 차이가 없었으나, 제주국제공항은 유의한 차이가 있었다. 이는 김포와 김해국제공항은 모두 하천의 하류에 위치하고 있어 대형 수조류들이 주로 관찰된 것에 반해 제주국제공항은 바다와 도심에 가까이 위치하고 있어 몸무게가 작은 소형 조류들이 많이 관찰되었기 때문이다. 이러한 종들과의 충돌이 항공기 동체에 미치는 영향이 적어 모델 간의 공통된 변수의 영향은 적었고, 추가적인 변수에 의해 두 모델의 평가 결과 간 큰 차이가 발생한 것으로 판단된다.

The high prevalence of pediculosis capitis, commonly known as head lice (Pediculus humanus capitis) infestation, has led to the preparation of a community-based pediculicidal ointment, which is made of common household items and the extract of Tinospora crispa stem. The present study aimed to evaluate the safety, efficacy, and physicochemical characteristics of the T. crispa pediculicidal ointment. The physicochemical properties of the ointment were characterized, and safety was determined using acute dermal irritation test (OECD 404), while the efficacy was assessed using an in vitro pediculicidal assay. Furthermore, the chemical compounds present in T. crispa were identified using liquid-liquid extraction followed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadruple time-of-flight mass spectrometric (UPLC-qTOF/MS) analysis. The community-based ointment formulation was light yellow in color, homogeneous, smooth, with distinct aromatic odor and pH of $6.92{\pm}0.09$. It has spreadability value of $15.04{\pm}0.98g{\cdot}cm/sec$ and has thixotropic behavior. It was also found to be non-irritant, with a primary irritation index value of 0.15. Moreover, it was comparable to the pediculicidal activity of the positive control $Kwell^{(R)}$, a commercially available 1% permethrin shampoo (P>0.05), and was significantly different to the activity of the negative control ointment, a mixture of palm oil and candle wax (P<0.05). These findings suggested that the community-based T. crispa pediculicidal ointment is safe and effective, having acceptable physicochemical characteristics. Its activity can be attributed to the presence of compounds moupinamide and physalin I.

For more than 2,500 years, surgical teaching has been based on the so called "see one, do one, teach one" paradigm, in which the surgical trainee learns by operating on patients under close supervision of peers and superiors. However, higher demands on the quality of patient care and rising malpractice costs have made it increasingly risky to train on patients. Minimally invasive surgery, in particular, has made it more difficult for an instructor to demonstrate the required manual skills. It has been recognized that, similar to flight simulators for pilots, virtual reality (VR) based surgical simulators promise a safer and more comprehensive way to train manual skills of medical personnel in general and surgeons in particular. One of the major challenges in the development of VR-based surgical trainers is the real-time and realistic simulation of interactions between surgical instruments and biological tissues. It involves multi-disciplinary research areas including soft tissue mechanical behavior, tool-tissue contact mechanics, computer haptics, computer graphics and robotics integrated into VR-based training systems. The research described in this paper addresses the problem of characterizing soft tissue properties for medical virtual environments. A system to measure in vivo mechanical properties of soft tissues was designed, and eleven sets of animal experiments were performed to measure in vivo and in vitro biomechanical properties of porcine intra-abdominal organs. Viscoelastic tissue parameters were then extracted by matching finite element model predictions with the empirical data. Finally, the tissue parameters were combined with geometric organ models segmented from the Visible Human Dataset and integrated into a minimally invasive surgical simulation system consisting of haptic interface devices and a graphic display.
