Background: The superficial lymphatic system is divided into areas called lymphatic territories which are separated by watersheds. When the lymphatic system fails to remove its load either due to surgery, radiotherapy or some congenital malformation of it then the fluid and the proteins and wastes contained within it accumulates in that territory. Anastomotic connections exist across the watersheds and while they can work unaided manual lymph drainage (MLD) can significantly help drainage across them into unaffected lymphatic territories. The purpose of the study is to examine the effectiveness of a manual technique in moving fluids and softening hardened tissues using a tape measure and Patient-Specific Functional Scale. Methods: We examined the movement of fluids from the affected limbs of lymphedema patients who underwent a standardized 30-min treatment using the Dr. Vodder method of MLD. We chose a typical cross section of patients with secondary leg or secondary arm lymphedema. The lymphedema patient was also measured after the conclusion of treatment and underwent a follow-up control measurement, within 8 weeks. Both evaluation tools indicated a movement of fluid to different and unblocked lymphatic territories as well as a softening of tissues in some of the affected limbs. Results: MLD is an effective means of fluid clearance when it accumulates as a consequence of a failure of the lymphatic system. It seems likely that MLD has a systemic effect on the lymphatic system and that it can improve flow from otherwise normal tissues. Conclusions: It is hypothesized that a series of treatments would result in even more significant improvements.

Purpose: Accurate monitoring of soil strength is a key technology applicable to various precision agricultural practices. Soil strength has been traditionally measured using a cone penetrometer, which is time-consuming and expensive, making it difficult to obtain the spatial data required for precision agriculture. To improve the current, inefficient method of measuring soil strength, our objective was to develop and evaluate an in-situ system that could measure horizontal soil strength in real-time, while moving across a soil bin. Methods: Multiple cone-shape penetrometers were horizontally assembled at the front of a vertical plow blade at intervals of 5 cm. Each penetrometer was directly connected to a load cell, which measured loads of 0-2.54 kN. In order to process the digital signals from every individual transducer concurrently, a microcontroller was embedded into the measurement system. Wireless data communication was used between a data storage device and this real-time horizontal soil strength (RHSS) measurement system travelling at 0.5 m/s through an indoor experimental soil bin. The horizontal soil strength index (HSSI) measured by the developed system was compared with the cone index (CI) measured by a traditional cone penetrometer. Results: The coefficient of determination between the CI and the HSSI at depths of 5 cm and 10 cm ($r^2=0.67$ and 0.88, respectively) were relatively less than those measured below 20 cm ($r^2{\geq}0.93$). Additionally, the measured HSSIs were typically greater than the CIs for a given numbers of compactor operations. For an all-depth regression, the coefficient of determination was 0.94, with a RMSE of 0.23. Conclusions: A HSSI measurement system was evaluated in comparison with the conventional soil strength measurement system, CI. Further study is needed, in the form of field tests, on this real-time measurement and control system, which would be applied to precision agriculture.

Depending on network conditions, a communication network could be overloaded when media are transmitted. Research has been carried out to lessen network overloading, such as by filtering, load distribution, frame dropping, and other methods. Among these methods, one of the most effective is frame dropping, which reduces specified video frames for bandwidth diminution. In frame dropping, B-frames are dropped and then I- and P-frames are dropped, based on the dependency among the frames. This paper proposes a scheme for protecting copyrights by encryption, when frame dropping is applied to reduce the bandwidth of media based on the MPEG-4 file format. We designed two kinds of frame dropping: the first stores and then sends the dropped files and the other drops frames in real time when transmitting. We designed three kinds of encryption methods using the DES algorithm to encrypt MPEG-4 data: macro block encryption in I-VOP, macro block and motion vector encryption in P-VOP, and macro block and motion vector encryption in I-, P-VOP. Based on these three methods, we implemented a digital rights management solution for MPEG-4 data streaming. We compared the results of dropping, encryption, decryption, and the quality of the video sequences to select an optimal method, and found that there was no noticeable difference between the video sequences recovered after frame dropping and the ones recovered without frame dropping. The best performance in the encryption and decryption of frames was obtained when we applied the macro block and motion vector encryption in I-, P-VOP.

자동차 배기가스의 증가요인인 실화발생을 감지하고 실화가 발생하는 기통까지 판별하기 위하여 종래에는 크랭크각속도를 측정하는 방법을 이용하였으나 이 방법은 고속의 회전시 감지가 어려운 문제를 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 논문은 이산 월쉬-푸리에(Walsh Discrete Fourier Transform; WDFT)를 이용하여 고속의 엔진회전수에서도 실화발생여부를 판단 가능하게 하였고, 월쉬함수의 Moving window방식을 이용하여 다기통 실화발생에 대한 기통판별까지 가능하게 하였다. 이상의 내용을 시스템으로 구현하여 무부하 Idle상태와 운전상태(Drive)에서 시험한 결과도 실화발생여부를 감지하는데 기존의 방법보다 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Background: A backpack is available equipment for moving some objects. Most studies have found that the appropriate weight limit of backpack for students is between 10% to 15% of their body weight (BW). However, Some students should carry a backpack heavier than 15% of BW. Therefore, It is associated with abnormal shoulder and neck posture on students. Objects: This study tested the effects that various amounts of weight carried by university students in their backpacks had on their cervical posture and electromyography of neck muscle. Methods: The subjects consisted of 12 students (6 male, 6 female) in university. There were three loading conditions tested: no backpack, a backpack that weighed 10% and 15% of the student's BW. The dependent variables were the craniovertebral angle (tragus to C7) and the neck muscle activities (sternocleidomastoid, upper trapezius). All 12 subjects were asked to walk while wearing a backpack for 5 minutes and were then instructed to rest for 2 minutes. Results: When assessing the craniovertebral angle, the results of this study were significantly decreased in the order of 0%, 10%, and 15%. And then, there were significantly increased electromyography of neck muscles that comparison of the weight of 10% and 15% on 0%. It was found that as the weight of the backpack increased, the craniovertebral angle decreased (p < 0.05) and the muscle activities increased (upper trapezius p = 0.012, sternocleidomastoid p = 0.013). Conclusion: Our study recommended that some students shouldn't carry on over the 15% backpack of own weight, and also they should distribute backpack load to equal on body for optimal posture.

본 논문에서는 교량, 선박 등에 사용하고 해양환경을 고려한 알루미늄 합금(A6082-T-6) 플레이트 거더의 물리적 관계를 살펴보고자 한다. 플레이트 거더는 제품수명주기에 이동하중, 적재하중 등 같은 패치로딩을 경험하게 된다. 이 하중을 받는 알루미늄합금 플레이트 거더의 최종강도에 대해 다수 수치모형을 적용하여 탄소성 대변형 시리즈 해석을 수행하고 회귀분석을 통해 예측식을 제안하였다. 예측식은 최종강도와 세장변수의 상관관계로 나타냈으며 세장변수가 낮을 경우(0-2.3) 약 9 % 정도 오차가 발생하며 높을 경우(2.3-4.0) 약 1-2 % 정도 오차가 발생하였다. 따라서 제안 예측식 적정성은 합리적으로 평가할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 논문에서는 산업현장에서 통신 오류에도 불구하고 최대전력수요를 예측하는 방법을 소개한다. 최근 국내의 탈원전 정책으로 전력가격상승은 불가피하며, 이에 따른 전력수요 관리를 위한 전력사용량과 최대부하관리는 중요한 문제로 부상하고 있다. 이에 따라, 피크전력을 예측하고 관리하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만 실제 산업현장에서는 각종 설비 및 센서에서 발생하는 노이즈 등으로 인해 측정된 전력데이터의 손실 및 변조 등의 문제가 발생한다. 측정된 유효전력 데이터가 손실된 경우 정확한 값을 예측하기 어렵다. 이 연구는 측정된 유효전력 데이터가 손실될 경우 이상 징후와 결측값을 예측하고 수정하는 모델을 제시한다. 본 연구에 사용된 모델은 산업현장에서 통신 오류가 발생할 경우 최대 전력수요를 예측하는 데 유용할 것으로 예상한다.

고속철도 교량에서는 상업 운행 중에는 대부분 통과속도가 일정하여 속도별 동적 거동에 대한 실험적 계측 및 분석이 불가능하다. 경부고속철도 2단계 개통 전 시운전 시 KTX 열차의 속도별 시운전이 가능하였으며, 속도별 운행에 대한 교량의 동적응답 계측이 가능하였다. 이 계측 결과는 개발된 교량/열차 상호작용해석에 대한 검증 및 비교 분석으로 연계될 수 있었다. 대부분의 속도대역에서 해석과 실험에 의한 결과가 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었으나, 공진이 발생하는 임계속도 부근 주행에서는 상대적으로 큰 응답 차이가 발생하였다. 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 원인 분석을 수행하였으며, 공진 발생 시 감쇠비 값을 측정 시 응답을 통해 재추정한 결과를 반영한 재해석을 수행하였다.
