  • Objective: The purpose of this study was to measure the change in pain threshold of levator scapular muscle, carniovertebral angle, and head position angle when applying a head-weight device on healthy adult. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted with 21 healthy adult male and female who voluntarily agreed to participate in this study after being informed of the purpose and method of this study. After measuring the cervical angle and pain threshold of levator scapular muscle, subject was instructed to walk for 5 minutes on a treadmill at a speed of less than 5 km/h while wearing after wearing head-weight device of 0.5 kg. Then, cervical spine angle and pain threshold of levator scapula muscle were re-measured. Measurement of cervical spine angle was conducted with photo by using the Bluebeam Revu software and the pain pressure thresholds (PPTs) were measured using an electronic algometer over potential trigger points on the body. Results: The results cervical angle showed a significant change, from $49.62^{\circ}$ to $52.10^{\circ}$ (p<0.05). PPT showed a significant change, from 30.71 to 36.89 (p<0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that applying head-weight device has a positive influence on increasing cervical angle and reducing pain when applied as a therapeutic intervention method of forward head posture.

  • 철근콘크리트내의 염분침투저항성을 향상시키기 위한 방안으로 다양한 철근 방청 코팅기법이 개발되어져왔다. 이와 관련된 가장 일반적인 방법으로서는 방청철근의 사용, 시멘트 슬러리 코팅 및 폴리머계 복합수지를 사용한 철근 코팅 및 에폭시 코팅등을 들 수 있다. 여기서 폴리머계 시멘트 코팅이 철근의 부동태 피막 및 장벽보호를 동시에 꾀함과는 달리 시멘트 슬러리 코팅의 경우는 철근의 부동태 보호에, 에폭시 코팅의 경우는 철근의 장벽보호에 주 목적을 두고 있다. 더욱이 에폭시코팅의 경우는 시공상의 오차로 인해 철근의 비부착 문제를 일으키게 되며 이는 국부부식의 위험을 증대시키게 된다. 본 연구에서는 철근-콘크리트 계면에서, 최대 20%의 수산화칼슘의 증가를 통한 방청기법이 적용되어졌다. 수산화칼슘의 경우 높은 pH저하저항성을 가지고 있어 염해부식환경에 대해 알칼리성 환경이 유지하도록 하는 역할을 한다. 본 논문은 철근/콘크리트 계면에서의 pH 저하 저항성의 향상 방안으로서, 수산화칼슘의 첨가에 따른 철근 방청코팅의 향상 효과를 시험하였다. 또한 수산화칼슘을 혼입한 폴리머 코팅의 염화물임계치 (CTL)에 관해서도 비교분석을 하였다.

  • We present a novel GPU accelerated search algorithm for broadband extended gravitational-wave emission (BEGE) with better than real-time analyis of H1-L1 LIGO S6 data. It performs matched filtering with over 8 million one-second duration chirps. Parseval's Theorem is used to predict the standard deviation ${\sigma}$ of filter output, taking advantage of near-Gaussian LIGO (H1,L1)-data in the high frequency range of 350-2000 Hz. A multiple of ${\sigma}$ serves as a threshold to filter output back to the central processing unit. This algorithm attains 80% efficiency, normalized to the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). We apply it to a blind, all-sky search for BEGE in LIGO data, such as may be produced by long gamma-ray bursts and superluminous supernovae. We report on mysterious features, that are excluded by exact simultaneous occurrance. Our results are consistent with no events within a radius of about 20 Mpc.

  • We estimate the fractal dimension of the ${\rho}$ Ophiuchus Molecular Cloud Complex, associated with star forming regions. We selected a cube (${\upsilon}$, l, b) database, obtained with J = 1-0 transition lines of $^{12}CO$ and $^{13}CO$ at a resolution of 22" using a multibeam receiver system on the 14-m telescope of the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory. Using a code developed within IRAF, we identified slice-clouds with two threshold temperatures to estimate the fractal dimension. With threshold temperatures of 2.25 K ($3{\sigma}$) and 3.75 K ($5{\sigma}$), the fractal dimension of the target cloud is estimated to be D = 1.52-1.54, where $P{\propto}A^{D/2}$, which is larger than previous results. We suggest that the sampling rate (spatial resolution) of observed data must be an important parameter when estimating the fractal dimension, and that narrower or wider dispersion around an arbitrary fit line and the intercepts at NP = 100 should be checked whether they relate to firms noise level or characteristic structure of the target cloud. This issue could be investigated by analysing several high resolution databases with different quality (low or moderate sensitivity).

  • Polycrystaline (poly) 3C-SiC thin film on n-type and p-type Si were deposited by APCVD using HMDS, $H_2$, and Ar gas at $1180^{\circ}C$ for 3 hour. And then the schottky diode with Au/poly 3C-Sic/Si(n-type) structure was fabricated. Its threshold voltage ($V_d$), breakdown voltage, thickness of depletion layer, and doping concentration ($N_D$) value were measured as 0.84 V, over 140 V, 61nm, and $2.7{\times}10^{19}\;cm^3$, respectively. The p-n junction diode fabricated by poly 3C-SiC was obtained like characteristics of single 3C-SiC p-n junction diode. Therefore, its poly 3C-SiC thin films are suitable MEMS applications in conjuction with Si fabrication technology.

  • Comparative study on the effects of $H_2$ vs. $O_2$ plasma pretreatment of gate oxide on the degradation phenomenon of p-channel low-temperature polysilicon (LTPS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) were performed. After high drain current stress (HDCS) with $V_{gs}$ = $V_{ds}$, the p-channel TFTs pretreated by $O_2$ plasma showed increased immunity to the degradation of device characteristics such as threshold voltage and maximum field effect mobility because of the higher binding energy of Si-O bond than that of Si-H bond. The investigation of degradation phenomenon of these parameters with the applied power suggests that self-heating can be the major cause of degradation of polysilicon TFTs.

  • The lowering effect of cholesterol in Sprague Dawley rats was investigated with panaxydol which was purified from the petroleum ether soluble fraction(PESF) of Korean red ginseng. The level of total cholesterol(TC), Triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein(LOL)-cholesterol in serum was reduced by $48\%,\;47\%\;and\;41\%,$ respectively while high density lipoprotein(HDL)-cholesterol was in creased up to $29\%$ as compared with their control values when the panaxydol(20 umoles. 5 mq/kq/day) was adminstered by intraperitoneal rout for 3 consecutive days along with a $1\%$ cholesterol diet. The hepatic ester cholesterol content which was increased in proportion to the cholesterol content of the diet in the control, clearly decreased with panaxydol administration to about $40\%$ regardless of the two diet cholesterol content. $1\%\;or\;2\%.$ A threshold of supression on the serum lipid levels in both administration routes was observed: the maximium suppression in i.p. and p.o. administration was observed to be at 5mq/kq b.w. and in the range of 50 - 100 mg/kg b.w., respectively. Panaxydol may reduce serum lipid and cholesterol levels by inhibiting cholesterol absorption and/or by modulating the cholesterol metabolism. at least in part.

  • 대청호에서 1999년 4월부터 10월까지 25주간에 걸쳐 이화학적, 생물학적 수질과 geosmin농도를 조사하였다. Geosmin은 대부분 늦은 여름에 $1.16{\sim}5.28\;ng\;L^{-1}$의 농도로 총 5회 검출되었다. Geosmin의 가장 높은 농도는 8월 31일로 조사되었으며 phycocyanin 농도, cyanobacteria 세포수, Anabaena spiroides 세포수 등이 최고조에 달하는 시기와 일치하였다. Geosmin 농도와 환경요인과의 상관분석에 의하면 geosmin생산은 수온,pH,총용존인 그리고 A. spiroides 세포수에 의하여 크게 결정되는 것으로 보인다. Geosmin 생산은 수온 $27^{\circ}^C$, pH는 8.5, 총용존인은 $0.06\;mg\;L^{-1}$ 이상의 조건에서 나타났다. 이와 같은 조건에서 A. spiroides 세포수가 $10,000\;mL^{-1}$ 이상이면 geosmin이검출된다고 볼 수 있다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of direction (pitch and roll) on the perception of support surface rotation while standing. Thirty young healthy subjects participated in this study. Support surface was rotated at an unexpected instant in a very slow speed (0.2 deg/s). The direction of support surface rotation was randomly chosen among pitch (forward and backward) and roll (right and left) directions. The experiment was performed with eyes open and closed. Perception performance was evaluated by the perception threshold, defined as the rotation angle of the surface at the instant when a subject recognized that the support surface was moving. Results showed that the perception threshold was smaller for roll directions than pitch directions irrespective of vision and gender (p < 0.01). This indicates that the perception of support surface rotation is more sensitive in roll direction than in pitch direction. Among three sensory functions related to postural perception, the effect of vestibular and visual functions on the direction difference of the perception should be little because of the very slow surface rotation and independence on visual conditions. Therefore, the direction dependence of perception would have been affected mainly by the somatosensory function.
