In this paper, an experimental study was carried out for vibration control of cable bridges with structurally flexible characteristics. For the experiment on vibration control, a model bridge was constructed by reducing the Seohae Grand Bridge and the shear type MR damper was designed using the wind load response measured at Seohae Grand Bridge. The shear type MR damper was installed in the vertical direction at the middle span of the model bridge, and dynamic modeling was performed using the power model. The tests of the vibration control were carried out by non-control, passive on/off control and Lyapunov control method on model bridge with scaled wind load response. The performance of the vibration control was evaluated by calculating absolute maximum displacement, RMS displacement, absolute maximum acceleration, RMS acceleration, and size of applied power using the response (displacement, acceleration, etc.) from the model bridge. As a result, the power model was effective in simulating the nonlinear behavior of the MR damper, and the Lyapunov control method using the MR damper was able to control the vibration of the structure and reduce the size of the power supply.

본 연구는 비콘 기반의 웨어러블 디바이스를 통해 Social Distance로부터 감성 상호작용을 인식하기 위한 기술을 개발하였다. 인식된 상호작용은 Photoplethysmogram(PPG)로부터 추정된 심혈관 동시성과 비교하여 평가되었다. 상호작용은 Social Distance가 일정 시간 이상 유지되었을 경우 인식되었으며, 심혈관 동시성은 PPG로부터 계산된 Beats Per Minute(BPM) 간의 상관분석을 통해 추정되었다. Social Distance로부터 유효한 상호작용을 인식하기 위한 유지시간을 결정하기 위해 상호작용 대상일 때와 아닐 때의 심혈관 동시성에 대해 Mann-Whitney U test를 실시하였다. 15개 집단(집단 당 2명)이 실험에 참여하였으며, 이들은 일상생활에서 비콘 및 PPG 웨어러블 디바이스를 착용하도록 요청받았다. 그 결과, 본 연구에서 인식한 상호작용 대상은 더 높은 심혈관 동시성을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며, 유효상호작용 시간은 통계적 유의차를 보이는 11초로 결정되었다(p=.045). 결과적으로 실 공간에서의 사회관계망에 대한 실시간 측정과 평가를 할 가능성을 높였다.

Background:After a stroke, the control of the trunk muscle may be severely impaired. Due to the importance of trunk control in complex daily postures, the ability to adopt a correct sitting posture is considered a determinant of the recovery of independent function after a stroke.Objects:The purposes of this study were to compare differences in buttock pressure between the left and right sides of hemiplegic patients and differences in their pelvic tilting angles (sagittal and coronal planes) after sitting training with visual biofeedback (VBF) in real time.Methods:Twenty-two individuals with unilateral strokes (11 left-side and 11 right-side hemiplegic stroke patients) participated in this study. Buttock pressure was measured using a pressure mat, and pelvic angles were measured using a palpation meter.Results:The asymmetry of pressure between the right and left (first and third chamber) sides was significantly decreased after the VBF training. The measurements obtained using the palpation meter revealed a significant decrease in the pelvic angles pre- versus post-intervention.Conclusion:VBF training may be distribute a patient’s buttock pressure equally while in a sitting posture and increase the length of time a stroke patient can maintain a symmetrical sitting posture. It can also improve pelvic control while sitting in a neutral position.

인수공통 감염증의 하나인 톡소포자충의 검출을 위해서는 대부분은 ELISA 법이 사용 되고 있으나, 충체가 사멸 된 후에도 양성반응이 나타나는 등 사용에 제한이 있다. 반면 유전자 검출법은 현재 감염상태를 확인 할 수 있기 때문에 식중독 원인조사 등에 적합하다고 판단되어 이를 활용하여 본 연구를 진행하였다. 톡소포자충의 유전정보를 통해 529 repeat region의 염기서열을 얻고, 프라이머 및 TaqMan 프로브를 설계하여 real-time PCR을 이용한 검 출법을 개발하였다. 검출한계(lower limit of detection) 및 적정곡선을 확인한 결과 10 genomic DNA copy가 검출한 계로 확인되었고, 정량을 위한 곡선은 101~106 DNA copies 까지 0.999의 R2값을 나타내었다. 개발된 검출법의 증폭효 율을 비교하기 위해 B1 gene 타겟 프라이머 세트와 타입 별 검출한계를 비교한 결과, type 1, 2, 3 톡소포자충에서 같거나 더 나은 검출한계를 보였다. 또한 식품에서 주로 분리되는 식중독 세균 14종 및 원충 3종에 대해 특이도를 비교한 결과, 모두 음성으로 나타났다. 개발된 검출법을 식육검체에 적용하였을 때 type 1, 2, 3에서 모두 원활한 검출결과를 보여 증폭방해물질이 존재하지 않은 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구를 통해 개발된 유전자검출법은 국내 유통 중인 식육에서 인수 공통감염 원충의 하나인 톡소포 자충의 감염 여부를 확인하는 사전적 모니터링의 방법으로 활용될 예정이다.

Background:Research efforts to improve the pulmonary function of people with limited chest function have focused on the diaphragmatic ability to control breathing pattern. Real-time ultrasonography is appropriate to demonstrate diaphragmatic mechanism during breathing.Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of diaphragmatic breathing training using real-time ultrasonographic imaging (RUSI) on the chest function of young females with limited chest mobility.Methods:Twenty-six subjects with limited chest mobility were randomly allocated to the experimental group (EG) and control group (CG) depending on the use of RUSI during diaphragmatic breathing training, with 13 subjects in each group. For both groups, diaphragmatic breathing training was performed for 30-min, including three 10-min sets with a 1-min rest interval. An extra option for the EG was the use of the RUSI during the training. Outcome measures comprised the diaphragmatic excursion range during quiet and deep breathing, pulmonary function (forced vital capacity; FVC, forced expiratory volume in 1-sec; FEV1, tidal volume; TV, and maximal voluntary ventilation; MVV), and chest circumferences at upper, middle, and lower levels.Results:The between-group comparison revealed that the diaphragmatic excursion range during deep breathing, FVC, and middle and lower chest circumferences were greater at post-test and that the changes between the pretest and post-test values were greater in the EG than in the CG (p<.05). In addition, the subjects in the EG showed increased post-test values for all the variables compared with the pretest values, except for TV and MVV (p<.05). In contrast, the subjects in the CG showed significant improvements for the diaphragmatic excursion range during quiet and deep breathings, FVC, FEV1, and middle and lower chest circumferences after the intervention (p<.05).Conclusion:These results indicate that using RUSI during diaphragmatic breathing training might be more beneficial for people with limited chest mobility than when diaphragmatic breathing training is used alone.

This paper is to study a technique to detect the real-time route aberrance on the passage route using bumper area of the ship domain theory. In order to evaluate the risk of route aberrance, a quarter line was created between the center line and the outer line, and a passage route with the image line outside the outer line was designed. It calculated the real-time route aberrance with the vessel bumper area to measure the risk level on the passage route. The route aberrance using overlap bumper area was simulated through three kinds of scenario vessel at the designed passage route. In this paper, we proposed Ratio to Aberrance Risk as one of the evaluation parameter to detect the route aberrance risk at each sector in the passage route and to give the evaluation criteria of 5 levels for seafarer’s navigation safety. The purpose of this work is to provide the information of the route aberrance to seafarer automatically, to make it possible to prevent the human errors of seafarer on the high risk aberrance route. As the real-time risk of route aberrance on the passage route is automatically evaluated, it was well thought that seafarer can have only a little workload in order to know the risk of route aberrance at early-time. Following the further development of this work, the techniques for detecting the real-time route aberrance will be able to use the unmanned vessel.

In order to develop an HNS safety management system to assess and visualize hazard levels via an automated method, we have conceptualized and configured a sample system. It is designed to quantify the risk of a vessel carrying HNS with a matrix method along navigational route and indicate hazards distribution with a contour map. The basic system which provides a visualized degree of hazards in real time has been introduced for the safe navigation of HNS ships. This is useful not only for decision making and circumstantial judgment but may also be utilized for HNS safety management with a risk base. Moreover, this system could be extended to address the navigational safety of marine traffic as well as of autonomous vessels in the near future if the sensors used are connected with IoT technology.

Pressure monitoring is expected to be expanded in a water distribution system according to accelerated development of smart water network management technologies caused by appearances of affordable digital infrastructures like computing, storage and bandwidth. However, the placement of pressure sensors has been determined by engineer’s technical decisions since there is no well-defined criteria for deciding a suitable location of pressure sensor. This study presents a placement method of pressure sensors based on the consideration of allowable error in calibrating water network analysis modeling. The proposed method is to find a minimum set of pressure sensors for achieving a reliable management of water transmissions main and increasing the efficiency of their real-time operation. In the case study in Y area’s transmission main, the proposed method shows equally distributed pressure sensors in terms of hydraulics. It is expected that the proposed method can be used to manage transmission mains stably and construct a robust real-time network analysis system as a minimal criteria.

The purpose of this study was to develop Streptococcus sobrinus-specific qPCR primers based on the nucleotide sequence of the RNA polymerase β-subunit gene (rpoB). The specificity of the primers was determined by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with 12 strains of S. sobrinus and 50 strains (50 species) of non-S. sobrinus bacteria. The sensitivity of the primers was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) with serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNAs (40 ng to 4 fg) of S. sobrinus ATCC 33478T. The specificity data showed that the S. sobrinus-specific qPCR primers (RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4) detected only the genomic DNAs of S. sobrinus strains with a detection limit of up to 4 fg of S. sobrinus genomic DNA. Our results suggest that the RTSsob-F4/RTSsob-R4 primers are useful in detecting S. sobrinus with high sensitivity and specificity for epidemiological studies of dental caries..
