  • 여기저기서 드론이 뜨고 있다. 아마존이 날아오른 드론으로 고객의 문 앞까지 배달하는 모습은 일대 장관이었다. 이제 웬만한 방송에서 하늘 높이 오른 드론으로 내려다본 모습을 전송하는 것은 그저 일상일 뿐이다. 뿐만 아니라, 사람이 직접 닿을 수 없는 곳에서 드론으로 사람을 찾는다거나, 드론을 통해 고층건물의 안전도를 검사한다거나, 정찰을 하는 등 다양한 활용도가 돋보인다. 라스베가스의 세계가전전시회(CES)에서 바르셀로나의 모바일월드콩그레스(MWC)에서 그리고 뉴욕의 장난감전시회 에서도 드론은 스타로 부상했다. 이제 드론은 대중화와 상업적 성공의 기로에 서 있다. 이를 위해서는 기계적 성능이상으로 중요한 것이 드론과 사용자간의 상호작용을 통해 이루어내는 사용자 경험이다. 즉 드론을 얼마나 쉽고 편하고 정확하고 안전하게 조종할 수 있도록 만드는가가 차별화와 경쟁력의 시작이다. 만약 드론이 지금처럼 조종하기 어렵고 심지어 인명과 재산을 위협한다고 인식되면 산업적 잠재성은 그저 한여름 밤의 꿈으로 사그러들 수밖에 없다. 몇 가지 사례를 보자. 지난 2월 미국 Fox TV 생방송에서 Popular Science 잡지 편집장 Dave Mosher는 드론의 안전성에 관해서 말하고 있었다. 그 때 데모를 위해 날던 드론이 갑자기 균형을 잃으면서 추락하였다. 이 사고로 인해 드론이 안전하지 않을 수 있다는 인식이 퍼지게 되었다. 경미한 사고지만 심각한 위협감을 일으키기도 한다. 레이더에 탐지되지 않던 드론이 미국 백악관 앞마당에 추락한 것이 그런 예이다. 어떤 사용자는 재미삼아 드론을 구름 위까지 날려 보냈다. 그러더니 드론이 제어력을 상실하였고, 결국 추락하고 말았다. 다행히도 누군가의 머리 위로 떨어지지는 않았다.

  • This study was performed to examine the flowing ability and filling ability of polypropylene fiber reinforced high performance concrete. The slump flow was decreased with increasing the polypropylene fiber content, rapidly. At the box-type filling ability, the difference of box height was increased with increasing the fiber content and the box-type passing ability was closed in fiber content 1 %. The final flowing distance of L-type was decreased with increasing the fiber content. Also, it was decreased above 0.75% of polypropylene fiber content, rapidly. The filling ability of L-type was badly showed above polypropylene fiber content 0.75%. Also, the compressive strength was decreased with increasing the fiber content, but the flexural strength was shown higher than that of the concrete without fiber. At the impact resistance, drop numbers for reaching in final fracture were increased with increasing the fiber content. Also, the drop numbers for reaching initial fracture of 1mm were increased with increasing the fiber content. At the acid resistance, the percent of original mass was decreased with increasing the fiber content.

  • Every day a huge amount of paper is being used, most of them are thrown after using. This directly impacts on the environment. Therefore, waste paper management is necessity to protect the environment from its annihilation and pollution. Paper recycling products consist of printing paper, newspaper, corrugated containers, magazine paper and so on. Reuse waste paper will reduce the consumption of wood and virgin pulp as recycling one ton of newsprint can save approximately 1 ton of wood, meanwhile recycling 1 ton of printing paper can save more than 2 tons of wood. With increasing recycling rates, lower quality paper fractions may be included. Thus the selection of a paper recycling technology is a crucial first design consideration. The paper recycling must be accompanied by appropriate technology to manage a huge volume of wastepaper. The specific objectives of this study were as follows: (1) comprehensive literature reviews of paper production and consumption, (2) figure out about paper recovery and utilization, (3) investigate the paper recycling in the sustainable times, (4) introduce eco-friendly recycling technology to paper industry.

  • The golf industry has become the center of attention for recreational activities in the participant sport market; however, there has been little effort made to understand golf consumer and their consumption behavior using the concept of 'recreational specialization' which segments the golfers based on level of specialization in golf. The purpose of this study was to explore the differences in the relationships among perceived service quality, price of playing golf, overall customer satisfaction with the course, and a player's intention to revisit the same golf course based on the magnitude of recreation specialization in golf. Four public and two private golf courses from the southeastern state of the United States were randomly chosen from a list in a golf magazine. The 365 surveys among 417 participants were ultimately analyzed. Multiple group analysis was conducted in order to investigate differences in relationships among service quality, price, customer satisfaction, and revisit intentions between groups based on the level of recreation specialization. The key findings were 1) for more specialized golfers, satisfaction with price did not affect overall customer satisfaction or revisit intention, however, service quality significantly influenced both overall customer satisfaction and revisit intention, 2) for less specialized golfers, satisfaction with price significantly influenced overall customer satisfaction but did not affect revisit intention. Knowledge about which the determinants of satisfaction are different between more and less specialized golfers could provide a better understanding of how different marketing strategies should be implemented for different specialized levels of golfers.

  • Bukjiri Seated Rock-carved Buddha of Bonghwa is a rock carved Buddhist Statues on the Two-Mica Granite with mid-size grains. The non-destructive diagnosis on the statues showed that their surfaces had been damaged by exfoliation or granular decomposition and their physical properties are also found to be weak. In addition, the evaluation of slope stability showed that there are the possibility of toppling failure, or planar and wedge failure. So, we have recovered the physical strength and structural stability of rock using the scientific conservation treatment. We also founded that the existing shelter was damaged by the poor ventilation and water leakage. So we constructed it in a way that there is no water leakage while the ventilation is good.

Steinman의 공동수상으로 금년도 Nobel 생리 의학상 수상자가 결정되었다는 보도가 지난 10월 3일 있었다(1-3). 그들의 업적을 요약하면 대략 다음과 같다. (Steinman교수는 Nobel수상자 발표 3일전인 9월 30일 암으로 사망함). 그들은 면역기구(immune system)의 활성화의 관건(key)이 되는 원리를 밝혀냄으로써, 면역기구에 관한 우리들의 이해를 혁신하였던 것이다. 과학자들은 오랫동안 세균(bacteria)이나 기타 미생물병원체들에 의한 공격에 대비하여 그들 자신을 방어하는 사람이나 기타 동물체에서의 면역응답(免疫應答)(immune response)의 문지기들을 탐색해 왔다. Beutler와 Hoffmann은 그와 같은 병원미생물을 인식하여 생체의 면역응답의 첫 단계인 자연면역을 활성화 할 수 있는 수용체 단백질(toll-like receptor protein)을 규명한 것이다(4,5). 한편 Steinmann은 면역계의 수지상세포(DC)와 병원미생물이 생체로부터 배제되는 면역응답의 후기단계인 적응면역을 활성화하고 조절하는 그들의 독특한 재능을 규명해 낸 것이다(6-8). 그들 3명의 발명은, 면역응답의 자연 및 적응 양상(樣相)이 어떻게 활성화되는 가를 밝혀냄으로써 질병의 기전에 관한 참신한 식견(識見)을 제공한 것이다. 그들의 연구는 감염병(感染病)(infectious disease), 암(癌)(cancer) 그리고 염증성질환(炎症性疾患)(inflammatory disease)에 대응하는 예방과 치료의 개발을 위한 새로운 방법을 개척한 것이다.

  • This study analyzed the change in the rater reliability based on the student's practice evaluation process conducted at Yonsei University College of Dentistry. Through this, we suggest the significance of the rater calibration training in the student's practical evaluation of dental college. Nine professors from the department of Conservative Dentistry, Yonsei University College of Dentistry, analyzed the results of class II restoration cases twice in 2017 and once in 2018. Intra Class Correlation (ICC) which is a statistic used to determine the consistency of raters with three or more scores, was also calculated. ICC values increased as raters participated in rater calibration meetings and grading experiences. This shows that the rater reliability is related to the grading experience and feedback from calibration meeting. Based on the results of previous studies that grading experiences and rater calibration training can cause a meaningful change in rater behavior, we propose to conduct rater calibration training to ensure the evaluator reliability.

  • Modern society has created the age of mass media image. Advertising media strongly stimulate and influence the image contact and the frequency of receivers by visual communication media in everyday life. Until today no consciousness concerning the necessity of typographic visual image and it's selection for newspaper advertising has been developed. The necessity of headline typography visual image in newspaper advertising and it's selection should be considered a problem that must be solved by a more reasonable and logical approach, like it is done in the case of advertising copy, in order to increase the efficiency of advertising for the consumer.

  • The propensity score matching method is a statistical method used to reduce selection bias in observational studies and to show effects similar to random allocation. There are many observational studies in dentistry research, and differences in baseline covariates between the control and case groups affect the outcome. In order to reduce the bias due to confounding variables, the propensity scores are used by equating groups based on the baseline covariates. This method is effective, especially when there are many covariates or the sample size is small. In this paper, the propensity score matching method was explained in a simple way with a dental example by using R software. This simulated data were obtained from one of retrospective study. The control group and the case group were matched according to the propensity score and compared before and after treatment. The propensity score matching method could be an alternative to compensate for the disadvantage of the observation study by reducing the bias based on the covariates with the propensity score.
