Driving safety of a semi-trailer is greatly reduced when driving in a section with a narrow turning radius, so a dynamic study of driving and road conditions is required. In this study, the driving stability of the semi-trailer was investigated using the RecurDyn program in consideration of the velocity and weight of the semi-trailer in the entrance curve section of the highway, and the turning angle and radius of the curved road. In order to select the model and analysis conditions according to the road type, the sloping curved road was modeled by selecting the curvature, entry length, height difference, and entrance angle of the curved section. From the analysis results, the higher the semi-trailer's entrance velocity, the heavier the weight, the narrower the entrance angle of the curved road, and the smaller the curvature, the greater the semi-trailer's maximum running angular speed which had an effect on driving stability.

This is the research report concerned with the new stability concept and designing the controller of the time periodic systems. The periodic systems which is governed by time is very common in various type of dynamic systems. For example, the satellite is the large scale and the experimental test equipment as pendulum is also time periodic systems. The motion of the systems during the time interval is running repeatedly. While this periodic systems is running, the dynamic stability is important to behave the appropriate motion of the system's function. This research propose the new stability approach based on Lyapunov theorem which is analyzing the system's stability adapting the specific energy function. And also this research introduces the developing numerical procedures to retain the stability of time periodic system. Finally, the result of this research is very useful to judge the stability and design the controller of time periodic system.

한반도 남해안 지역의 여름철 대기 안정도 특성을 분석함으로써, 한반도 특성에 맞는 강수 예측을 위한 대기 안정도 지수의 정량적인 임계값을 도출하고자 하였다. 보성 표준기상관측소에서 관측한 2019년도 여름철 라디오존데 집중관측자료를 분석에 사용하였으며, 총 관측자료는 243개이다. 강수 유무 및 중규모 대기 현상에 대한 대기 안정도를 분석하기 위해서, 대류가용잠재에너지(Convective Available Potential Energy, CAPE)와 폭풍지수(Storm Relative Helicity, SRH)를 비교하였으며 특히 SRH 분석은 고도별로 총 4개의 층으로(0-1, 0-3, 0-6, 0-10 km) 세분화하였다. 강수 유무에 따른 분석은 강수가 없는 경우, 강수발생 전 12시간, 강수 발생 시로 구분하여 수행하였다. 그 결과, 2019년도 보성에서 발생한 여름철 강수 예측에는 CAPE 보다 SRH가 더 적합하며 0-6 km SRH가 약한 토네이도가 발생 가능한 기준과 같은 150 m 2 s−2 이상일 경우 강수가 발생한 것으로 분석 된다. 또한, 장마와 태풍 기간의 대기 안정도를 분석한 결과를 보면, 일반적으로 SRH는 대기 깊이가 두꺼워질수록 값이 커지는데 반해서 0-10 km SRH 평균값 보다 0-6 km 의 SRH 값이 더 크게 나타났다. 따라서, 2019년도 보성에서 발생한 태풍에 의한 강수를 판별하는 데는 0-6 km 의 SRH 값이 더 효과적이라고 할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to estimate the effect of different cutting lengths on fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of whole crop rice (WCR) silage. The WCR was harvested at the yellow ripe stage (43.7%, DM), and then cut at 5 (R05), 10 (R10), and 20 cm (R20) of the theoretical length of cut with no cut WCR (R60). Each forage was ensiled into 20 L mini bucket silo (5 kg) for 150 days in quadruplicates. The cutting lengths were not affected the chemical compositions of WCR silage (p > 0.05). The pH (p < 0.001) and concentration of ammonia-N (p = 0.022) in WCR silage were increased linearly with the increase of cutting length. The concentration of lactate had quadratic effect (p = 0.007), which was highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). The concentration of acetate was increased linearly (p = 0.014), but the concentration of butyrate was decreased linearly (p = 0.033). The lactic acid bacteria count was decreased linearly (p = 0.017), and yeast count had quadratic effect (p = 0.009), which was the highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). Aerobic stability had strong quadratic effect (p < 0.001), which was the highest in R20 silage (p < 0.05). In conclusion, R60 silage had highest pH by a linear increase of ammonia-N concentration and led to low aerobic stability. While R20 silage had the lowest pH by high lactate concentration and led to high aerobic stability.

Background: The CKCUES test evaluates the functional performance of the shoulder joint. The CKCUES test scores CKC exercises of the upper limbs to examine shoulder stability. Although the CKCUES test provides quantitative data on functional ability and performance, no study has determined the relationship between CKCUES scores and SA and TB muscle strength. Objects: The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA and TB muscles in the CKCUES and unilateral CKCUES tests. Methods: Sixty-six healthy male volunteers participated in the study. A Smart KEMA strength sensor measured SA and TB muscle strength. Two parallel lines on the floor indicated the initial hand placement to start CKCUES tests. For 15 seconds, the subject raises one hand and reaches over to touch the supporting hand, then returns to the starting position. Results: The correlation between the CKCUES test scores and the strength of the SA was strong (r = 0.650, p < 0.001), and the TB was moderate (r = 0.438, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the SA of the supporting side was strong (r = 0.605, p < 0.001), and swing side was strong (r = 0.681, p < 0.001). The correlation between the unilateral CKCUES test and the strength of the TB of the supporting side was moderate (r = 0.409, p < 0.001), and swing side was moderate (r = 0.482, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study showed that the CKCUES test had a strong association with isometric strength of SA and moderate association with that of TB. These findings suggest that the CKCUES test can evaluate the function of the SA. Moreover, the unilateral CKCUES test can evaluate unilateral shoulder function.

Background: While the formal test has been used to provide a quantitative measurement of core stability, studies have reported inconsistent results regarding its test-retest and intraobserver reliabilities. Furthermore, the validity of the formal test has never been established. Objects: This study aimed to establish the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of the formal test. Methods: Twenty-two young adults with and without core instability (23.1 ± 2.0 years) were recruited. Concurrent validity was determined by comparing the muscle thickness changes of the external oblique, internal oblique, and transverse abdominal muscle to changes in core stability pressure during the formal test using ultrasound (US) imaging and pressure biofeedback, respectively. For the test-retest reliability, muscle thickness and pressure changes were repeatedly measured approximately 24 hours apart. Electromyography (EMG) was used to monitor trunk muscle activity during the formal test. Results: The Pearson’s correlation analysis showed an excellent correlation between transverse abdominal thickness and pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) pressure as well as internal oblique thickness and PBU pressure, ranging from r = 0.856–0.980, p < 0.05. The test-retest reliability was good, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC1,2) = 0.876 for the core stability pressure measure and ICC1,2 = 0.939 to 0.989 for the abdominal muscle thickness measure. Conclusion: Our results provide clinical evidence that the formal test is valid and reliable, when concurrently incorporated into EMG and US measurements.

Background: The foot is a complex body structure that plays an important role in static and dynamic situations. Previous studies have reported that altered foot posture might affect knee joint strength and postural stability, however their relationship still remains unclear. Objects: The purpose of this study was to identify whether pronated foot posture has an influence on knee isokinetic strength and static and dynamic postural stability. Methods: Forty healthy young males aged 18 to 26 years were included. Foot posture was evaluated using the Foot Posture Index-6 (FPI-6), and the subjects were divided into two groups according to their FPI-6 scores: a neutral foot group (n = 20, FPI-6 score 0 to +5) and a pronated foot group (n = 20, FPI-6 score +6 or more). Biodex Systems 3 isokinetic dynamometer was used to evaluate knee isokinetic strength and hamstring to quadriceps ratio at three angular velocities: 60°/sec, 90°/sec, and 180°/sec. The static and dynamic postural stability in a single-leg stance under the eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions were measured with a Biodex Balance System. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in knee isokinetic strength and static postural stability (p > 0.05), but there was a significant difference in the medial– lateral stability index (MLSI) for dynamic postural stability under the eyes-closed condition (p = 0.022). The FPI-6 scores correlated significantly only with the dynamic overall stability index (OSI) and the MLSI (OSI: R = 0.344, p = 0.030; MLSI: R = 0.409, p = 0.009) under the eyesclosed condition. Conclusion: Participants with pronated foot had poorer medial–lateral dynamic stability under an eyes-closed condition than those without, and FPI-6 scores were moderately positively correlated with dynamic OSI and dynamic MLSI under the eyes-closed condition. These results suggest that pronated foot posture could induce a change in postural stability, but not in knee isokinetic strength.

본 연구에서는 유화안정제 중 하나인 cetyl alcohol 함량에 따른 천연 염모제 헤나의 유화 안정성을 분석하고 가장 안정한 유화를 나타내는 cetyl alcohol 함량을 확인하였다. 유화 안정성을 분석하기 위해 cetyl alcohol의 함량에 따른 입자 크기, 입자 형태, 점도 및 염색 후 색상의 차이를 비교하였다. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) zeta 분석 결과, cetyl alcohol 3 %가 zeta potential 값이 115.9 mV로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며, 입자크기분포는 cetyl alcohol의 함량이 3 %인 크림 제형 염모제가 증류수에 분산된 헤나와 비교해 입도분포의 폭이 좁았다. 점도계 분석 결과 cetyl alcohol의 함량이 증가할수록 점도가 증가하였고, 크림 제형의 헤나 pH 측정 결과 두피에 적합한 pH 범위로 측정되었다. 또한 헤나 크림 제형 염모제에서는 cetyl alcohol의 함량이 증가할수록 유화 안정성이 증가하였다.

Butterfly valves have been used to control the flow rate of various fluids in many industries because it have unique manageability compare to other valves. However, when a defect occurs due to the failure of the backlash of the power transmission part and the pin breakage of the butterfly valve due to the absence of the design capability of the valve, it is difficult to analyze the cause and maintain it. In this paper, a study was conducted to secure the reliability of the valve by performing structural analysis and analysis using a 3D model of the product to manufacture a high-quality valve.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extracts from sweet potatoes (SP) and watermelon (WM) on the oxidative stability of perilla seed oils (POs) over the existing ones. A comparison was done between the oxidative stability of perilla oil (PO) after the addition of 0.1% of SP, and WM extracts and PO without extract. The oxidative stability was measured based on the viscosity, acid value (AV), peroxide value (POV), antioxidant (DPPH) activity, p-anisidine value (p-AV), and fatty acid composition. The viscosities ranges were: PO without extract, from 53.99±0.99 to 74.38±1.61 cps, PO with SP extract, from 53.99±0.10 to 58.73±0.8 cps, and PO with WM extract, from 53.98±0.10 to 56.00±0.70 cps. While the PO containing the SC-CO2 extracts had significantly lower AV, POV, and p-AV, their antioxidant activity was approximately 10 times higher than that of the PO without extract. There were no significant differences in fatty acid composition between SC-CO2 extracts added groups and PO without extract (p<0.05). The findings of this study confirmed that the SC-CO2 extracts from sweet potatoes and watermelon enhanced the oxidative stability of perilla seed oils, and are potential natural antioxidants for use in the food industry.

In this study, a nanocrystalline FeNiCrMoMnSiC alloy was fabricated, and its austenite stability, microstructure, and mechanical properties were investigated. A sintered FeNiCrMoMnSiC alloy sample with nanosized crystal was obtained by high-energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering. The sintering behavior was investigated by measuring the displacement according to the temperature of the sintered body. Through microstructural analysis, it was confirmed that a compact sintered body with few pores was produced, and cementite was formed. The stability of the austenite phase in the sintered samples was evaluated by X-ray diffraction analysis and electron backscatter diffraction. Results revealed a measured value of 51.6% and that the alloy had seven times more austenite stability than AISI 4340 wrought steel. The hardness of the sintered alloy was 60.4 HRC, which was up to 2.4 times higher than that of wrought steel.
