The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of bridging stabilization exercises on trunk muscles activity on and off a Swiss ball. 20 healthy university students volunteered to participate in this study. Subjects were required to complete following four exercises: exercise 1, single bridging exercise; exercise 2, feet on ball bridging exercise; exercise 3, calf on ball bridging exercise; exercise 4, back on ball bridging exercise. Surface electromyography from selected trunk muscles was normalized to maximum voluntary isometric contraction. A repeated measures of ANOVA with post-hoc Bonferroni's correction was used to determine the influence of exercise type on muscle activity for each muscle and descriptive statistics was used to determine local/global muscle ratios. The rectus abdominis of exercise 4 showed significantly higher muscle activity than rectus abdominis of exercise 1, 2, 3 (p<.05). The external oblique of exercise 2, 4 showed significantly higher muscle activity than external oblique of exercise 1 (p<.05). The internal oblique of exercise 2, 4 showed significantly higher muscle activity than internal oblique of exercise 1 (p<.05). The erector spinae of exercise 2, 3, 4 showed significantly higher muscle activity than erector spinae of exercise 1 (p<.05). Median of internal oblique/rectus abdominis ratio of exercise 1 was 1.16, exercise 2 was 2.43, exercise 3 was 2.45, exercise and 4 was 1.27. Median of internal oblique/external oblique ratio of exercise 1 was 1.01, exercise 2 was .91, exercise 3 was .99, and exercise 4 was .93. Muscle activity can be influenced by addition of a Swiss ball in bridging exercises. It is recommend to use a Swiss ball for trunk stabilization exercise.

Tracheostomal stenosis after total laryngectomy is a distressing complication which con-tributes significantly to both psychosocial and physical morbidity according to nature and severity in laryngectomee. Sternal stenosis will compromise not only optimal air exchange, crust formation but also the ability to clear tracheobronchial secretion, so pneumonia and atelectasis will develop. Having a number of procedure recommended for correction of such stenosis with limited results. We developed new technique which is based on tracheal advancement flap had been ap-plied to 12 patients, successfully. We think that total or partial tracheal advancement flap technique Is useful for widening the stoma and advantages of this method are following. 1. Simple technique. possible under local anesthesia 2. Healthy tracheal ring facilities width control 3. Less chance of refractory scar stenosis 4. Tracheoesophageal shunt can be constructed after the partial advancement flap.

Concerning the numerical simulation of high-speed water jet with intensive cavitation this paper presents a practical compressible mixture flow method by coupling a simplified estimation of bubble cavitation and a compressible mixture flow computation. The mean flow of two-phase mixture is calculated by URANS for compressible fluid. The intensity of cavitation in a local field is evaluated by the volume fraction of gas phase varying with the mean flow, and the effect of cavitation on the flow turbulence is considered by applying a density correction to the evaluation of eddy viscosity. High-speed submerged water jets issuing from a sheathed sharp-edge orifice nozzle are treated when the cavitation number, ${\sigma}=0.1$, and the computation result is compared with experimental data The result reveals that cavitation occurs initially at the entrance of orifice and bubble cloud develops gradually while flowing downstream along the shear layer. Developed bubble cloud breaks up and then sheds downstream periodically near the sheath exit. The pattern of cavitation cloud shedding evaluated by simulation agrees experimental one, and the possibility to capture the unsteadily shedding of cavitation clouds is demonstrated. The decay of core velocity in cavitating jet is delayed greatly compared to that in no-activation jet, and the effect of the nozzle sheath is demonstrated.

In this paper. we Propose a robust and fast image registration technique for motion correction in brain CT-CT angiography obtained from same patient to be taken at different time. First, the feature points of two images are respectively extracted by 3D edge detection technique, and they are converted to locally weighted 3D distance map in reference image. Second, we search the optimal location whore the cross-correlation of two edges is maximized while floating image is transformed rigidly to reference image. This optimal location is determined when the maximum value of cross-correlation does't change any more and iterates over constant number. Finally, two images are registered at optimal location by transforming floating image. In the experiment, we evaluate an accuracy and robustness using artificial image and give a visual inspection using clinical brain CT-CT angiography dataset. Our proposed method shows that two images can be registered at optimal location without converging at local maximum location robustly and rapidly by using locally weighted 3D distance map, even though we use a few number of feature points in those images.

Network RTK generally uses a linear interpolation method by using the corrections from reference stations. This minimizes the spatial decorrelation error caused by the increase of distance between the reference station's baseline and user's baseline. However, tropospheric delay, a function of the meteorological data can cause a spatial decorrelation characteristic among reference stations within a network by local meteorological difference. A non-linear characteristic of tropospheric delay can deteriorate Network RTK performance. In this paper, the modeling of tropospheric delay irregularity is made from the data when the typhoon is occurred. By using this modeling, analyzing the effect of meteorological difference between reference stations on correction is performed. Finally, we analyze an effect of non-linear characteristics of tropospheric delay among reference stations to Network RTK user.

Cerium oxide (ceria, CeO₂) is one of the most wide-spread oxide supporting materials for the precious metal nanoparticle class of heterogeneous catalysts. Because ceria can store and release oxygen ions, it is an essential catalytic component for various oxidation reactions such as CO oxidation (2CO + O₂ 2CO₂). Moreover, reduced ceria is known to be reactive for water activation, which is a critical step for activation of water-gas shift reaction (CO + H₂O → H₂ + CO₂). Here, we apply van der Waals-corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations combined with U correction to study the mechanism of water chemisorption on CeO₂(111) surfaces. A stoichiometric CeO₂(111) and a defected CeO₂(111) surface showed different water adsorption chemistry, suggesting that defected CeO₂ surfaces with oxygen vacancies are responsible for water binding and activation. An appropriate level of water-ceria chemisorption energy is deduced by vdW-corrected non-local correlation coupled with the optB86b exchange functional, whereas the conventional PBE functional describes weaker water-ceria interactions, which are insufficient to stabilize (chemisorb) water on the ceria surfaces.

기상레이더는 강우량을 바로 추정하지 못하는 특성으로 인해 정량적 강우산출 과정 중에 다양한 원인으로 인해 불확실성 발생 요소가 존재하나 이를 정량화하고 저감하는데 많은 어려움이 있다. 원인을 살펴보면, 첫째, 기상레이더의 관측에서부터 정량적 강우량 추정까지 일련의 과정에 대한 포괄적으로 불확실성 정량화와 분석이 이루어지지 못하며, 둘째, 전체 불확실성이 어느 정도 되는지 제시하지 못하므로 각 단계별 불확실성이 전체 불확실성 대비 어느 정도 비율이 되는지 제시하지 못한다. 마지막으로 기존 연구들은 불확실성을 줄이고자 여러 방법을 사용하고 있으나 어느 정도 효용성이 있는지 불확실성 측면에서 제시하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Maximum Entropy(ME)와 Uncertainty Delta Method(UMD)를 이용한 접근방법을 제안하여 기상레이더를 활용하여 정량적 강우량을 추정하는 일련의 과정에서 단계별로 불확실성이 어떻게 전파되는지 추정하였다. 본 연구에서는 한반도 전역을 대상으로 2012년 여름철(6~8월)에 발생한 18개 강우사례를 이용하여 품질관리(Open Radar Product Generator 품질관리 알고리즘, fuzzy 알고리즘), 강우추정(Window Probability Matching Method, Marshall-Palmer 관계식), 후처리보정(Local Gauge Correction 기법, Gauge to Radar ratio 기법)단계만을 수행하였으며, 이 결과를 바탕으로 기상레이더 정량적 강우추정 단계별 불확실성을 정량화하였다. 정량화결과, 최종적으로 관측단계의 불확실성보다 최종 불확실성이 줄어들었으나, 강우추정 단계에서 불확실성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 어떤 강우추정식을 적용하느냐에 따라 레이더 강우추정결과가 매우 달라질 수 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 제시한 불확실성 정량화 방법을 통하여 첫째, 전체 및 단계별 불확실성을 정량화할 수 있고, 둘째, 최종 불확실성 대비 각 단계별 불확실성을 비율을 제시할 수 있으며, 마지막으로 수행단계별로 불확실성 전파과정을 파악할 수 있다. 이는 향후 정량적 레이더 강우추정 과정에 있어서 불확실성을 발생시키는 주요 원인파악과 이에 대한 집중적인 투자를 가능하게 한다. 이러한 과정을 통하여 보다 정확한 정량적 레이더 강우추정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.
