One of the most performed action in daily life is standing up from sitting position. As the population of the world is aging at the high rates, people may face problems with reduced muscle strength as well as psychological changes. This can lead elderly people having difficulties with standing up from chair. Now, with the aging trend worldwide, products are being developed that can support the lives of the elderly. This study examines the distribution of hip pressure in relation to the seating positions of the standing assistance seats under development to prevent standing up accidents in older adults. The currently developing standing assistant chair designed to tilt to a maximum angle of 25 degrees. At over 25°, design considers that older people are at risk of thrown back out of that force and that the forces exerted on their arms and legs can be a significant burden to older people. By considering danger of higher than 25° for older people which is experimented in the basis of static capturing approach in previous papers, it is experimented people with age group of 20~60 on 0° to 25° tilting angle on the basis of dynamic capturing method in order to pick convenient angle of inclination. Moreover, tried to find the optimum angle by comparing the hip pressure distribution when seated at the edge of the seat and at the center of the seat with the pressure distribution sensor.

The purpose of this study was to measure concentrations of K+, Na+, Cl－ by ionometer with check salt strip, simple salimeter and Ion-selective electrode (ISE) and compare the results of each mensuration; furthermore, the possibility of inferring the Na+ concentration from Cl－ concentration of urine and the impact of K+ on the concentration of each ion was examined. The results showed that ISE determined Na+ and Cl－ concentrations in the urine are highly interrelated (R=0.9039); in addition, concentrations of Cl－, measured with strip and ISE from urine are highly interrelated (R=0.9338). The concentration of Na+ in urine, inferred by measuring Cl－ concentration with strip, has a high relationship (R=0.8580) with the concentration of Na+ in urine, measured by ISE. The results of our study will increase awareness of Na+ intake and the utility of check salt strip, as well as the possibility of inferred Na+ concentration from measures of Cl－ concentration as a screening test for reducing sodium intake.

우수한 고구마 종순 생산을 위해 식물생장조절제인 BA, kinetin, 2,4-D를 농도별 조합한 처리용액에서 고구마를 생육시켰다. 연구의 결과, 고구마 종순의 초장 길이는 BA 3 mg·L-1 처리구에서 53.5 cm로 가장 길었고, 2,4-D 1 mg·L-1 처리구에서 9.00 cm로 가장 짧았다. 고구마 종순의 절수는 BA 3mg·L-1 처리구에서 20개로 가장 많았고, 2,4-D 1 mg·L-1 처리구에서 9개로 가장 적었다. 고구마 종순 5엽의 크기는 2,4-D가 첨가된 모든 처리구들에서 대조구보다 작았지만, 엽의 길이는 kinetin 1mg·L-1에서 6.00 cm로 다른 처리구보다 길이가 길었고, 엽의 넓이는 kinetin 2 mg·L-1처리구에서 대조구와 비슷한 수준을 보였다. 고구마 종순의 첫 번째, 세 번째, 다섯 번째 절간들의 직경을 측정했을 때, 첫 번째 절간에서는 BA 2 mg·L-1 처리구와 BA 2 mg·L-1과 2,4-D 1 mg·L-1이 첨가된 혼용처리구에서 2.4 mm로 가장 두꺼웠고, 세 번째와 다섯 번째 절간들에서는 BA 1 mg·L-1 처리구에서 각각 3.72 mm, 4.32 mm로 가장 두꺼웠다. 따라서 시토키닌류의 식물생장조절제인 BA를 처리했을 때 고구마 종순 생육이 비교적 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

음청류에 이용할 수 있는 오미자 추출액을 얻기 위해 증류 수, 수돗물과 Ca, Mg 등의 미네랄이 풍부한 청송약수를 이용 하여 오미자 추출액을 제조하고 이화화적 특성을 측정하였 다. 오미자 추출조건으로는 25배의 용매비로써 실온에서 6, 9, 12, 15시간, 65℃에서 2, 3, 6, 9시간 동안 추출하였다. 추출 용액의 명도(L, Lightness), 적색도(a, redness), 황색도(b, yellowness), 가용성 고형분(solid content), 산도(acidity), pH, DPPH 라디칼을 소거능을 이용한 전자 공여능(Electron Donating Ability, EDA)으로부터 전반적으로 양호한 추출조건을 구한 결과는 다음과 같다. 실온에서는 물의 종류에 상관없이 12시간 추출 하는 것이 적당하였으며, 65℃ 가온 상태에서는 6시간 추출 함이 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 가온 상태에서 약수의 경우 증 류수, 수돗물에 비해 빠른 추출이 가능하였으며, 추출 시간이 증가함에 따라 산도는 낮아지나, 고형분의 양과 DPPH 라디 칼을 소거능은 증가하였다. 전반적으로 고려할 때에 오미자 추출을 위한 가장 적합한 물로는 미네랄이 풍부한 약수이며, 다음으로 수돗물 그리고 증류수 순서임을 알 수 있다.

This is a basic study of Cheong-song mineral water, which has high contents of Ca and Mg for making noodles as well as for general cooking. The test results of the noodles manufactured and cooked with mineral water were compared to those manufactured and cooked with distilled water and tap water. Noodles manufactured with mineral water showed higher values than others in the cooked weight, volume, water absorption ability, turbidity, lightness (L) and redness (a) on the minus scale. This means that we can manufacture cooked noodles that have high weight, high volume, high water absorption ability and high lightness (L) along with a slight green color with Cheong-song mineral water. Cooked noodles manufactured with mineral water showed significant differences in the cooked weight and volume compared to those manufactured with distilled water. Also, cooked noodles manufactured with mineral water showed significant differences in moisture absorption, turbidity, lightness (L), redness (a) and yellowness (b) compared to those manufactured with distilled water and tap water. Commercial noodles cooked in mineral water showed significant differences in the cooked weight and redness (a) compared to those cooked in distilled water and tap water. Further, commercial noodles cooked in mineral water showed significant differences in weight, volume and brightness (L) compared to those cooked in distilled water.

For polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon fiber (CF) process, we developed a lab scale wet spinning line and a continuous tailor-made stabilization system with ten columns for controlling temperature profile. PAN precursor was spun with a different spinning rate. PAN spun fibers were stabilized with a total duration of 45 to 110 min at a given temperature profile. Furthermore, a stabilization temperature profile was varied with the last column temperature from 230 to 275℃. Stabilized fibers were carbonized in nitrogen atmosphere at 1200℃ in a furnace. Morphologies of spun and CFs were observed using optical and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Tensile properties of resulting CFs were measured. The results revealed that process conditions such as spinning rate, stabilization time, and temperature profile affect microstructure and tensile properties of CFs significantly.

Commercial PAN fibers were thermally stabilized at 220 or 240℃ for 30 min. Those fibers were further stabilized using radio-frequency (RF) capacitive plasma discharge during 5 or 15 min. From Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results, it was observed that an additional plasma treatment led to further stabilization of PAN fibers. After stabilization, carbonization was performed to investigate the final tensile properties of the fabricated carbon fibers (CFs). The results revealed that a combination of thermal and plasma treatment is a possible stabilization process for manufacturing CFs. Morphology of CFs was investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The morphology shows that the plasma stabilization performed by the RF large gap plasma discharge may damage the surface of the CF, so it is necessary to select a proper process condition to minimize the damage.

Long slit spectrometers are widely used in optical and infrared bands in astronomy. Absolute flux calibration for extended sources, however, is not straightforward, because a portion of the radiation energy from a flux calibration star is blocked by the narrow slit width. Assuming that the point spread function(PSF) of the star is circularly symmetric, we develop a robust method to extrapolate the detected stellar flux to the unobscured flux using the measured PSF along the slit-length direction. We apply this method to our long slit data and prove that the uncertainty of the absolute flux calibration is less than a few percents.
