  • 대전·충남지역 20-30대 여성 언어재활사 50명을 대상으로 주관적 음성 피로도 설문과 더불어 하루 4회기를 기준으로 언어치료 전/후 음성 샘플 수집을 하였다. 연구 결과, Korean Vocal Fatigue Index의 음성 피로로 인한 음성 사용회피 항목과 음성 사용으로 인한 신체 피로 항목에서 피로 집단과 피로 없는 집단 간 유의한 차이가 있었다. 두 집단의 음향음성학적 특성과 관련하여, 두 집단 모두 치료 후 저주파 대역 에너지가 상대적으로 낮아지고 고주파 대역 에너지가 상승하는 패턴을 보였다. 이러한 특징이 분산분석 결과, 주 효과로 나타난 low to high-ratio[t1(time.1)>t2(time.2)], slope_ltas(t2>t1), 3rd formant's energy(t1>t2), high energy(t2>t1) 등에 잘 반영되어 있다. 집단 간 차이는 음향변수들 중 치료 전 모음 연장발성 스펙트럼 저주파 대역의 에너지인 low energy에서만 관찰되었고 피로 없는 집단의 값이 더 컸다(no.fatigue>fatigue in t1). 음향변수에서의 이러한 특징과 더불어 치료 세션 후 피로 없는 집단의 연결발화에서의 왜도 증가는 장시간의 목소리 노동으로 인한 성대 과긴장(higher muscle tonus)과 목소리 남용 때문으로 해석할 수 있다. 섭동변수 shimmer_local은 피로 없는 집단이 언어치료 후 낮아졌고(t1>t2), 켑스트럼 변수인 RNR(rhamonics to noise ratio)은 언어치료 후 값이 높아졌다(t2>t1). NHR(noise to harmonic ratio)은 두 집단 모두 치료 후 낮아졌다. NHR의 감소와 shimmer_local의 하강은 치료 세션을 진행하면서 발성 과정이 안정화되었거나 혹은 전문 지식이 있는 언어재활사(특히 피로 없는 집단)들의 효율적 목소리 사용이 기여했다고 결론지을 수 있다. 피로 없는 집단의 경우는 치료 후에 RNR값이 유의하게 커졌으므로 치료 후 오히려 조화음(harmonic) 구조가 더 안정되었다고도 말할 수 있을 것이다.

  • 수로는 약선대를 따라 형성되는 경우가 많으며, 특히 강을 따라 단층이 발달하는 경우가 많다. 교량과 같은 수상 구조물의 건설을 위하여 탐사의 필요성이 높음에도 불구하고 육상과는 달리 수상 전기비저항 탐사가 활발하게 적용되지 못한 것은 현장탐사와 자료해석의 어려움 때문이었다고 볼 수 있다. 그러나 무엇보다도 중요한 것은 양질의 자료 획득이며, 양질의 자료 획득이 육상 탐사보다 어려운 것은 영상화하고자 하는 지하구조가 물로 덮여 있다는 점에서 연유한다. 이 연구에서는 이와 같은 점에 중점을 두고 수치 모델링과 현장탐사 사례 분석을 통하여 수상 전기비저항 탐사 자료의 특성, 현장 탐사와 해석 방법에 대하여 논하였다. 수상 전기비저항 탐사는 전극이 물 표면에 혹은 물 바닥에 설치되어 있는가에 따라 탐사자료의 획득방법, 고려할 사항, 해석 방법이 달라지므로, 전극을 물 표면에 띄운 경우와 바닥에 설치한 경우로 나누어 논의를 전개하였다. 이를 통하여 하상 전기비저항 탐사는 수층 하부 지반을 정확하게 영상화할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 수상 전기비저항 탐사에서 전극을 물 바닥에 설치하는 것이 물 표면에 설치하는 것보다 훨씬 더 분해능이 높은 영상을 획득할 수 있다. 그러나 두 방법 모두 육상 탐사에 비하여 지하구조에 대한 민감도는 낮고, 유동전위 등에 의하여 전기잡음이 높을 가능성이 높기 때문에 육상 탐사보다 높은 S/N 비를 갖는 현장 탐사자료의 획득이 필수적이며 가능한 한 높은 분해능을 갖는 전극배열을 선택하여야 하는 것으로 나타났다. 변형된 전극배열법은 원거리 접지가 불필요하다는 점과 아울러 그의 원천이 되는 전극배열보다 높은 신호대 잡음비를 갖는 자료 획득이 가능하다는 점에서 수상 전기비저항 탐사에 많은 활용이 기대된다.

  • Evaluating stiffness of near-surface materials has been one of the critically important tasks in many civil engineering works. It is the main goal of geotechnical characterization. The so-called deflection-response method evaluates the stiffness by measuring stress-strain behavior of the materials caused by static or dynamic load. This method, however, evaluates the overall stiffness and the stiffness variation with depth cannot be obtained. Furthermore, evaluation of a large-area geotechnical site by this method can be time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to many surface points of the site. Wave-propagation method, on the other hand, measures seismic velocities at different depths and stiffness profile (stiffness change with depth) can be obtained from the measured velocity data. The stiffness profile is often expressed by shear-wave (S-wave) velocity change with depth because S-wave velocity is proportional to the shear modulus. that is a direct indicator of stiffiiess. The crosshole and downhole method measures the seismic velocity by placing sources and receivers (geophones) at different depths in a borehole. Requirement of borehole installation makes this method also time-consuming, expensive, and damaging to the sites. Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method places both source and receivers at the surface, and records horizontally-propagating surface waves. Based upon the theory of surfacewave dispersion, the seismic velocities at different depths are calculated by analyzing the recorded surface-wave data. This method can be nondestructive to the sites. However, because only two receivers are used, the method requires multiple measurements with different field setups and, therefore, the method often becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore. the inclusion of noise wavefields cannot be handled properly, and this may cause the results by this method inaccurate. When multi-channel recording method is employed during the measurement of surface-waves, there are several benefits. First, usually single measurement is enough because multiple number (twelve or more) of receivers are used. Second, noise inclusion can be detected by coherency checking on the multi-channel data and handled properly so that it does not decrease the accuracy of the result. Third, various kinds of multi-channel processing techniques can be applied to f1lter unwanted noise wavefields and also to analyze the surface-wavefields more accurately and efficiently. In this way, the accuracy of the result by the method can be significantly improved. Fourth, the entire system of source, receivers, and recording-processing device can be tied into one unit, and the unit can be pulled by a small vehicle, making the survey speed very fast. In all these senses, multi-channel recording of surface waves is best suited for a routine method for geotechnical characterization in most of civil engineering works.

  • Due to the lack of available site in urban setting outdoor space in elementary schools are getting smaller and tend to be replaced by indoor spaces. Focusing on courtyard, piloti space and roof space, this study analyzed the current condition and usage of the outdoor spaces in the urban mini-schools based on the analysis of architectural drawing, interview, survey, and observation. Following issues are found for appropriate planning for outdoor spaces in the urban mini-schools. Firstly, roof space needs to be coordinated with the physical education and outdoor class curriculum and should be planned separately for quiet activities. Secondly, the piloti space should be planned as an independent space rather than a connection between classroom and outdoor space, with appropriate surveillance from teacher's space for the lower graders. Thirdly, courtyard space, typical space in urban mini school surrounded by densely arranged buildings, should be thermally controlled for outdoor class or resting with appropriate screen from noise to keep quiet atmosphere.

  • We present a near-infrared photometric and polarimetric catalog of sources in the $39^{\prime}{\times}69^{\prime}$ fields on the northeastern part of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which was observed using SIRPOL, an imaging polarimeter of the Infrared Survey Facility (IRSF). This catalog contains 1,858 sources brighter than 14 mag at H band with polarization signal-to-noise ratio greater than 3 in at least one of J, H, and Ks bands. We examined the polarization structures around the star-forming regions, where coherent polarization position angle distributions are seen. We also estimated magnetic field strengths in some selected fields using Chandrasekhar and Fermi analysis. The magnetic field strengths are estimated to be $3{\sim}25{\mu}G$. The wavelength dependence of polarization degrees indicates that the polarization is most likely to be originated from dichroic extinctions by the local interstellar dusts in the LMC. We found that the polarization patterns are well aligned along the molecular clouds around star-forming regions.

  • Objectives: This study was performed to emphasize improvement of the perception of dental hygienists' environmental working conditions by analyzing various factors. Methods: Two hundred ninety-eight female dental hygienists working at 35 medical institutions in Daegu City and Gyeongsangbuk-do Province participated. A self-recording type survey was done in October 2016. Results: Factors influencing the perception of infection control was length of career. Dental hygienists with more experience have a higher level of perception. Factors influencing the perception of working posture was the number of patients per day and career level. Dental hygienists seeing 50 or fewer patients per day and senior staff showed higher levels of this perception. Factors influencing the perception of noise in the working area were length of career and lunchtime break. The perception level was high in the group with longer careers and dental hygienists who rest at lunch time. Factors influencing chemical exposure during work were the number of patients per day and the type of institute. Dental hygienists working in dental clinics or dealing with more patients had lower levels of perception. Conclusions: The sociodemographic and working characteristics of dental hygienists influence the perception of dental hygienists' environmental working conditions.

  • Desorption/ionization on silicon mass spectrometry (DIOS-MS) is a relatively new laser desorption/ionization technique for mass spectrometry without employing an organic matrix. This present study was carried to survey the experimental factors to improve the efficiency of DIOS-MS through electrochemical etching condition in structure and morphological properties of the porous silicon. The porous structure of silicon structure and its properties are crucial for the better performance of DIOS-MS and they can be controlled by the suitable selection of electrochemical conditions. The fabrication of porous silicon and ion signals on DIOS-MS were examined as a function of silicon orientation, etching time, etchant, current flux, irradiation, pore size, and pore depth. We have also examined the effect of pre- and post-etching conditions for their effect on DIOS-MS. Finally, we could optimize the electrochemical conditions for the efficient performance of DIOS-MS in the analysis of small molecule such as amino acid, drug and peptides without any unknown noise or fragmentation.

  • Most environmental impact assessment(EIA) programs around the world require the consideration of human health impacts. Yet relatively few EIA documents adequately address those impacts. This article examines how, why, and to what extent health impacts are analyzed in environmental impact assessments. This article investigates these problems and provides recommendations to improve human health impact assessment(HIA), using methods, procedures and case study. Also, a comprehensive approach for the evaluation of possible health effects in an EIA is described, illustrated with the example of Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. Unlike many EIAs, we estimated quantitatively the impact of aircraft-related pollution in terms of the number of affected people for aircraft noise annoyance, odour annoyance and hypertension. In addition, an analysis of health registry data on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and a short survey on annoyance and risk perception were carried out.
