  • The laser welding in the automotive industries has been used widely for the butt joint of blank sheets rather than the lap joint of automotive body panels. But as a substitute far the spot welding of automotive body panels, the so called three dimensional laser welding will be important far the body panel engineers. Specially the laser welding of body panels with a smooth weld line is applied increasingly, for example, to the side panels. So far, some criteria of the laser weld quality was suggested by in-house regulations or national standards from experiences and/or rule of thumbs. In the manufacturing places, a go or no-go criterion is adopted because of the simplicity or a lack of rational criteria. It is true specially for the selection of the process parameters, which gives the basic causes for the good quality of laser welds. In this study, the effects of joint combination, gap and welding speed on the lap joint $CO_2$ laser welding of two mild steel sheets with different thicknesses are obtained through a $2{\times}3{\times}7$ factorial experiment. The results of the weld quality are statistically analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and compared between two characteristic zones, which are separated by the type of sectional shapes and the level of input energy per volume. The thickness combinations are 0.8mm/1.2mm, 1.2mm/0.8mm of mild steel sheets. The welding speed covers from the deep penetration to the partial penetration. The gap size has three levels of no-gap, 0.16m, and 0.26mm. The bead width, penetration depth and input energy per volume are measured and used as the weld quality criteria.

  • In this paper, we propose a sensor with a C-shaped load cell to detect force change when a person sitting on the chair in an electrical transport-convenience vehicle is pushing ground by both heels. The load cell built in the vehicle is mechanically deformed by the vertical force owing to the human weight and the horizontal force by ground-pushing feet. The deformation rate of the load cell and its distribution are simulated using finite element analysis. In the simulation, the applied loads are preset in the range of 10 kg - 100 kg with a step size of 10 kg, and the ground-pushing force by feet is increased to 40 N with a step size of 5 N with respect to each applied load level. The resistance change of the load cell was observed to be linear in simulation as well as in measurement. the maximum difference between simulation and measurement was 0.89 % when the strain gauge constant was 2.243. The constant has a large influence on the difference. The proposed sensor was fabricated by connecting an instrument amplifier and a microcontroller to a load cell and used to detect the force by ground-pushing feet. To detect foot driving, the reference signal was set to 130% of the load, and the duration of the sensor output signal exceeding the reference signal was set to 0.6 s. In a test of a vehicle built with the proposed sensor, the footpushing force by the worker could be successfully detected even when the worker was working.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effect of DentalVibe on the level of pain experienced during anesthetic injections using 2 different techniques. Materials and Methods: This randomized crossover clinical trial evaluated 60 patients who required 2-session endodontic treatment. Labial infiltration (LI) anesthesia was administered in the anterior maxilla of 30 patients, while inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) was performed in the remaining 30 patients. 1.8 mL of 2% lidocaine was injected at a rate of 1 mL/min using a 27-gauge needle. DentalVibe was randomly assigned to either the first or second injection session. A visual analog scale was used to determine participants' pain level during needle insertion and the anesthetic injection. The paired t-test was applied to assess the efficacy of DentalVibe for pain reduction. Results: In LI anesthesia, the pain level was 12.0 ± 15.5 and 38.1 ± 21.0 during needle insertion and 19.1 ± 16.1 and 48.9 ± 24.6 during the anesthetic injection using DentalVibe and the conventional method, respectively. In IANB, the pain level was 14.1 ± 15.9 and 35.1 ± 20.8 during needle insertion and 17.3 ± 14.2 and 39.5 ± 20.8 during the anesthetic injection using DentalVibe and the conventional method, respectively. DentalVibe significantly decreased the level of pain experienced during needle insertion and the anesthetic injection in anterior LI and mandibular IANB anesthesia. Conclusions: The results suggest that DentalVibe can be used to reduce the level of pain experienced by adult patients during needle insertion and anesthetic injection.

  • 동아시아 해역에서 TOPEX/POSEIDON(T/P) 위성 고도계로부터 관측된 해수면 자료의 객관성을 검증하기 위하여 위성궤적에 시 ${\cdot}$ 공간적으로 가장 상응하는 10개소 조위관측소 자료(tide gauge data: TG)를 택하여 비교분석을 시행하였다. 이를 위해, 1992년 10월부터 1998년 12월까지 관측된 T/P의 고도자료(2${\sim}$230번 사이클)를 비교분석에 활용하였다. 연구대상지역인 동아시아 주변 해상의 강한 조석현상으로 인해, T/P자료를 이용한 역학 고도의 산출에서 조석오차의 처리가 대단히 중요하다. 이러한 문제점을 감안하여, T/P자료의 처리는 Park and Gamberoni(1995)가 제시한 방법을 이용하였다. T/P자료를 처리한 결과, M$_2$, S$_2$, K$_1$ 분조에 의한 주기가 각각 62.1, 58.7, 173일 주기의 조석변형 오차로 나타났다. 이러한 오차의 영향들을 감소시키기 위해, Gaussian 방식을 이용하여 다양한 주기별로 저주파 필터를 적용하였다. 필터주기별로 처리된 결과를 비교하면, 최소 200일 이상의 저주파 필터를 적용할 때 T/P자료의 거짓 신호를 이상적으로 제거할 수 있음이 확인되었다. 따라서 200일을 기준으로 모든 조위관측점들에 대해 RMS값을 구한 결과 2.8${\sim}$6.7 cm의 범위로 나타났고, 두 측정방식간에서 통계적으로 유의한(P <0.0001)상관성이 일관성있게 확인되었다. 이러한 연구결과에 따르면, 조석오차가 큰 동아시아 주변 해역에서 해수면 변화를 연구하기 위해서는 조석 오차의 영향을 최대한 억제할 수 있는 장주기 (최소한 200일)를 기준으로 해수면자료를 비교하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • As the frequency and intensity of heavy rains increase, the vulnerability of agriculture to disasters also increases. Consequently, there is a need to improve flood and inundation predictions. To enhance the accuracy of inundation predictions, it is essential to monitor water level and discharge data within agricultural areas. This study was conducted to monitor water levels and rainfall in the Cheongju Sindae area from 2022 to 2023, and the data was utilized as input and validation data for agricultural inundation modeling. Four irrigation drainage canals were installed to a square-shaped concrete structure where the water level gauge is. It was then confirmed that the water level rises with rainfall. The flow velocities were monitored during periods of heavy rainfall. The rating curve, which estimates water level and flow velocity based on observations, was estimated using the software K-HQ. The resulting curve was presented with the Coefficient of Determination (R2). K-HQ was also used to calculate the equation for the rating curve, taking outliers into account at each data point. Outliers were extracted and the rating curve was recalculated. As the coefficient of determination of three out of four stations exceeded 0.95, the estimated rating curve may be considered reliable for discharge estimation. This study provides critical data for enhancing agricultural inundation modeling accuracy and drainage improvement projects.

  • Objective of the study represents experiences of medical utilization of Psychiatric Outpatients. This research draws on information obtained from the 2008 National-wide sampling study of the Korean Healthcare Panel(KHP) conducted. The results of our study suggest the significance of variables such as the gender(p<.001) in the social demographical characteristics, the medical security type(p<.016), medical institution utilization(p<.012) treatment type(p<.004) in the utilization factors. In the case of medical utilization cost, the financial support factor(p<.018) showed a significant relationship. Depending on the particularities of gender, medical security type, financial support, medical institution utilization, treatment type were determined through a multiple logistics regression analysis. Gender showed that, among Psychiatric outpatient age of 30-59 level was 5.358 times and 60 years and older, their the second medical examination level was 4.490 times higher than Psychiatric outpatients under the age of 29. Health insurance type showed for the others medical allowance was 6.712 times higher than job health insurance and the other treatment was 0.395 times lower than drug treatment. Psychiatric outpatients utilization are rooted in the thoughts and factor levels of the Psychiatric patients and must be understood from the Psychiatric outpatients's perspective. The point is not only to gauge the patients research during Psychiatric medical utilization. The important of social community mental healthcare services levels goes beyond the goal of enhancing healthcare.

  • 산지하천의 경우 집중호우 발생 시 급류나 범람, 산사태 등으로 인명과 재산 피해가 발생하며, 하류지역에는 홍수에 의한 피해가 증가하고 있다. 특히 강원도의 경우 2002년 태풍 루사, 2003년 태풍 매미, 2007년 집중호우 등으로 대규모 홍수피해가 발생하였다. 이를 계기로 강원도는 홍수에 대비하기 위해 초음파 수위계를 도내 주요 하천에 설치하고, 실시간으로 모니터링하며 긴급히 재난에 대비할 수 있는 재해 예 경보 시스템을 갖추었다. 초음파 수위계는 설치와 유지보수가 간단하며 실시간으로 계측자료를 전송하기 때문에 모니터링에 효과적이지만 온도나 습도 등과 같은 환경적 요건에 따라 초음파의 측정에 오차가 나타나며, 초음파가 반사되는 짧은 시간동안 측정된 수위는 홍수시 발생될 수 있는 파고의 영향이 많이 나타나 수문해석에 사용될 수 있는 수위를 대변하지 못하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 강원도의 양양남대천의 중류에 있는 놀골교를 선정하고, 기 설치된 초음파 수위계와 신규 설치한 부자식 수위계의 수위자료를 비교하였다. 두 수위자료의 비교분석은 유량에 따라 홍수위, 평수위, 갈수위로 구분하여 이루어졌다. 초음파 수위계에 의한 측정자료는 잡음이 많이 발생하였고 온도에 의한 영향이 많으며, 부자식 수위계에 비해 큰 수위로 측정되는 것으로 나타났다. 유량에 따라 비교하였을 때 홍수위에서는 수위를 과대관측하고 평수위, 갈수위에서는 수위변동의 폭이 심한 것으로 나타났다.

  • Recently, the ride comfort problem becomes increasingly important because of today's needs for train speedup. The railway has the track irregularities which cause vibrations, such as rail joints, turnout, level crossing, transition corves and super-elevation ramps, and variations in the track level(z-axis) and the gauge(y-axis). In Korea, the service run of the high speed train has been made since the 1st of April, 2004. The commercial high-speed trains must be run on the compound lines which are composed of high-speed line and conventional line. The high speed lines in both Kyoungbu line and Honam line have 57.5% and 33.8%, respectively In this Paper, the ride comfort has been reviewed by the various experimental methods when the high-speed trains are operated on both Kyoungbu line and Honam line. The results show that the high-speed train has no problems from the viewpoint of the comfort ride during the operation on the high speed line and conventional line.

  • Total spinal anesthesia is a well documented serious life threatening complication which results from an attempted spinal or epidural analgesia. We had an accidental total spinal anesthesia associated with a cranial nerve paralysis and an eventual unconsciousness during epidural analgesia. A 45-year-old female with an uterine myoma was scheduled for a total abdominal hysterectomy under the epidural analgesia. A lumbar tapping for the epidural analgesia was performed in a sitting position at a level between $L_{3-4}$, using a 18 gauge Tuohy needle. Using the "Loss of Resistance" technique to identify the epidural space, the first attempt failed; however, the second attempt with the same level and the technique was successful. The epidural space was identified erroneously. However, fluid was dripping very slowly through the needle, which we thought was the fluid from the normal saline which was injected from the outside to identify the space. Then 20 ml of 2% lidocaine was administered into the epidural space. Shortly after the spinal injection of lidocaine, many signs of total spinal anesthesia could be clearly observed, accompanied by the following progressing signs of intracrainal nerve paralysis: phrenic nerve, vagus nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve and trigeminal nerve in that order. Then female was intubated and her respiration was controlled without delay. The scheduled operation was carried out uneventfully for 2 hours and 20 minutes. The patient recovered gradually in th4e reverse order four hours from that time.
