Cu-Ti thin films were fabricated using a combinatorial sputtering system to realize highly sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices. The Cu-Ti sample library was grown with various chemical compositions and electrical resistivity, providing important information for selecting the most suitable materials for SAW devices. Considering that acoustic waves generated from piezoelectric materials are significantly affected by the resistivity and density of interdigital transducer (IDT) electrodes, three types of Cu-Ti thin films with different Cu contents were fabricated. The thickness of the Cu-Ti thin films used in the SAW-IDT electrode was fixed at 150 nm. As the Cu content of the Cu-Ti films was increased from 31.2 to 71.3 at%, the resistivity decreased from 10.5 to 5.8 × 10-5 ohm-cm, and the density increased from 5.5 to 7.3 g/cm3, respectively. A SAW device composed of Cu-Ti IDT electrodes resonated at exactly 143 MHz without frequency shifts, but the full width at half maximum (FWHM) values of the resonant frequency gradually increased as the Cu content increased. This means that although the increase in Cu content in the Cu-Ti thin film helps to improve the electrical properties of the IDT electrode, the increased density of the IDT electrode deteriorates the acoustic performance of SAW devices.

In this article, improvement of heat screen failure for battle tank is proposed. The heat screen applied to protect a cam sensor from engine heat was cracked by vibrations generated in the engine. To solve this problem, the configuration of the heat screen was changed to a structure that can avoid engine vibration levels. The improved heat screen has first mode frequency at 4,000 RPM band outside the main operating range of the engine, and heat dissipation is at the same level as conventional heat screen. As a result, the improved heat screen secured reliability by improving vibration effects by approximately 163% while maintaining heat dissipation performance.

Accurate seismic vulnerability assessment requires high quality and large amounts of ground motion data. Ground motion data generated from time series contains not only the seismic waves but also the background noise. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the high-pass cut-off frequency to reduce the background noise. Traditional methods for determining the high-pass filter frequency are based on human inspection, such as comparing the noise and the signal Fourier Amplitude Spectrum (FAS), f2 trend line fitting, and inspection of the displacement curve after filtering. However, these methods are subject to human error and unsuitable for automating the process. This study used a deep learning approach to determine the high-pass filter frequency. We used the Mel-spectrogram for feature extraction and mixup technique to overcome the lack of data. We selected convolutional neural network (CNN) models such as ResNet, DenseNet, and EfficientNet for transfer learning. Additionally, we chose ViT and DeiT for transformer-based models. The results showed that ResNet had the highest performance with R2 (the coefficient of determination) at 0.977 and the lowest mean absolute error (MAE) and RMSE (root mean square error) at 0.006 and 0.074, respectively. When applied to a seismic event and compared to the traditional methods, the determination of the high-pass filter frequency through the deep learning method showed a difference of 0.1 Hz, which demonstrates that it can be used as a replacement for traditional methods. We anticipate that this study will pave the way for automating ground motion processing, which could be applied to the system to handle large amounts of data efficiently.

PURPOSES : The tire-pavement interaction noise (TPIN) comprises four sources, among which the tire tread vibration noise (TTVN) and air pumping noise (APN) are known to be the most influential. However, when evaluating TPIN, the noise level is estimated based on the overall noise, because general noise measurement methods cannot separate TTVN and APN. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method to separate TTVN and APN in TPIN for quantitative assessment of pavement noise. METHODS : Based on the results of our literature review and frequency band noise data measured in our study, we identified the dominant frequency ranges for TTVN and APN. Additionally, we evaluated TTVN and APN across various pavement types. RESULTS : TTVN was found to be dominant in frequency bands below 800 Hz, while APN was dominant in frequency bands above 800 Hz. Additionally, regardless of the vehicle type, vehicle speed, or pavement type, APN exhibited higher levels compared to TTVN. This result shows that APN has a more significant impact on TPIN than TTVN. CONCLUSIONS : The separation method of TTVN and APN proposed in this study can be utilized to quantitatively assess the relationship between the primary noise sources in TPIN and the characteristics of pavement texture in future research. Furthermore, it is anticipated that characteristics of low TPIN and optimal texture conditions can be proposed to mitigate TPIN, thus contributing to the development of lownoise pavements.

Background: Self-myofascial release using a foam roller has short-term effects for improving muscle function and joint range of motion (ROM) and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after exercise. Objectives: The purpose of our study was to examine the muscle physiological changes for each set in self-myofascial release of the hamstring muscles using a foam roller in order to provide basic data for the most effective program composition for improving muscle tension, stiffness, and flexibility of the hamstring muscles. Design: A quasi-experimental clinical trial. Methods: To confirm the effect of self-myofascial release of the hamstring muscles using a foam roller, muscle tone and stiffness of the hamstring muscles were measured. As an intervention method, the study subject performed four sessions of self-myofascial release by moving a foam roller back and forth on the posterior thigh muscle of the right leg. Results: There were statistically significant changes in the stiffness of the biceps femoris and the flexibility of the hamstring muscles. Conclusion: Self-myofascial release with foam rolling is an effective intervention method for increasing hamstring flexibility and ROM, and it is recommended as effective to perform self-myofascial release for three to four sessions to maintain normal muscle tone and stiffness of the hamstring muscles.

This study investigated the effects of exposure frequency, depth of processing, and activity repetition types on vocabulary learning. In total, 78 South Korean fifth-grade students were divided into four conditions. Students in each condition were asked to read a passage with four of the eight target words (exposure: four times) and the other four words (exposure: once) for three days, and to perform the vocabulary activities assigned to each condition. According to the results, exposure frequency and activity repetition type had significant effects on vocabulary learning. Activity repetition type also had a significant interaction effect with exposure frequency and depth of processing. Notably, presenting a word 12 times (4x3) in reading intervals had a more positive impact on vocabulary learning than presenting it three times (1x3), particularly when different vocabulary activities were repeated. Meanwhile, when the same activity was repeated, an activity with a higher depth of processing was more effective for vocabulary learning.

Since noise reduction and Measuring Frequency enhancement are required, integration time adjustment has been mainly used so far. In this study, a new data processing method using Moving Average Filter was analyzed to see if noise reduction and Measuring Frequency could be reduced, and improvement measures were suggested.

Tb3+-doped CaNb2O6 (CaNb2O6:Tb3+) thin films were deposited on quartz substrates at a growth temperature of 300 °C using radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The deposited thin films were annealed at several annealing temperatures for 20 min and characterized for their structural, morphological, and luminescent properties. The experimental results showed that the annealing temperature had a significant effect on the properties of the CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films. The crystalline structure of the as-grown CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films transformed from amorphous to crystalline after annealing at temperatures greater than or equal to 700 °C. The emission spectra of the thin films under excitation at 251 nm exhibited a dominant emission band at 546 nm arising from the 5D4 → 7F5 magnetic dipole transition of Tb3+ and three weak emission bands at 489, 586, and 620 nm, respectively. The intensity of the 5D4 → 7F5 (546 nm) magnetic dipole transition was greater than that of the 5D4 → 7F6 (489 nm) electrical dipole transition, indicating that the Tb3+ ions in the host crystal were located at sites with inversion symmetry. The average transmittance at wavelengths of 370~1,100 nm decreased from 86.8 % at 700 °C to 80.5 % at an annealing temperature of 1,000 °C, and a red shift was observed in the bandgap energy with increasing annealing temperature. These results suggest that the annealing temperature plays a crucial role in developing green light-emitting CaNb2O6:Tb3+ thin films for application in electroluminescent displays.

본 연구의 목적은 인지적 안녕감 수준에 따라 감정 경험에 차이를 보이는지 확인하고, 인지적 안녕감 수준을 강하 게 예측하는 대표적인 구체적 감정들이 무엇인지 확인함으로써 일상에서 사람들이 어떠한 감정을 관리하는 것이 전 체적인 삶의 만족도 증진에 효과적인지에 대한 실용적 방안을 모색하고자 함에 있다. 이를 위해 참가자간 요인설계 (between-subjects factorial design)를 채택하여 학부생 438명을 대상으로 인지적 안녕감 수준에 따른 감정 경험 빈도 를 측정하였다. 인지적 안녕감은 생활만족도 척도(SWLS)로 측정하였으며, 감정 빈도는 PANAS-X 척도로 측정하였고, 조사 후 인지적 안녕감의 평균값을 기준으로 집단을 나누어 감정 프로파일을 살펴보았다. 연구결과, 첫째, 인지적 안녕감이 높은 집단은 낮은 집단에 비해 전반적으로 긍정감정, 놀람감정의 경험빈도가 높았고 부정감정 경험빈도가 낮았다. 둘째, 인지적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 대표적인 감정은 긍정 8개, 부정 7개, 놀람 1개임을 확인하였다. 특히 긍정은 ‘즐거운(happy)’, ‘자신감 있는(confident)’, 부정은 ‘나 자신에게 만족하지 못하는(dissatisfied with self)’, ‘나 자신이 역겨운(disgusted with self)’, 놀람은 ‘경탄을 자아내는(amazed)’ 감정이 인지적 안녕감에 가장 큰 영향력을 미쳤다. 본 결과를 통해 일상에서 경험하는 감정을 무조건 긍정-부정으로만 살펴볼 것이 아니라, 인지적 안녕감을 증진시키기 위해서는 특정한 감정들의 경험 빈도는 높이고(ex. 즐거움, 자신감), 특정한 감정의 경험 빈도는 줄이는 것(ex. 자신에 대한 불만족, 역겨움)이 더 효과적일 수 있음을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to analyse factors related to Home Meal Replacement (HMR) use among university students and to determine the dietary quality according to its consumption. A survey on the consumption of HMR and Nutrition Quotient (NQ) was conducted from September to November 2021. The study included 232 university students (88 males, 144 females) from Chungcheong. The proportion of consumption at least once a week was 71.55% for ready-to-eat foods, 55.60% for ready-to-cook foods, 40.95% for fresh-cut products, and 21.12% for meal-kits. The preference ratings were as follows: ready-to-eat foods, 3.77 out of 5 points, meal-kits, 3.53 points, fresh-cut products, 3.52 points, and ready-to-cook foods, 3.45 points. In terms of satisfaction, convenience (4.06 out of 5 points), taste (3.71 points), variety (3.67 points), and food hygiene (3.62 points) were rated the highest. The scores in the moderation NQ were significantly lower in the groups that consumed ready-to-eat foods (p=0.0002), ready-to-cook foods (p=0.0002), and meal-kits (p=0.0068) at least once a week compared to the groups that consumed them less than once a week. In conclusion, the results will serve as basic data for nutrition education for proper consumption of HMR among university students.

In this research, we examined the shifts in determinants influencing the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases pre- and post-COVID-19. Our analysis utilized filtered 2019-2021 Consumption Behavior Survey data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute Food, excluding any irrational responses. Given the nature of the dependent variable, a multinomial logistic regression model was employed with demographic factors, variables pertaining to food consumption behavior, and variables concerning food consumption awareness as predictors. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an individual's level of education was observed to positively influence the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases. In contrast, income level and fluctuations in food consumption expenditure did not appear to have a discernible impact on the purchasing frequency of such eco-friendly products. Irrespective of the advent of COVID-19, variables such as the frequency of online food purchases, the utilization of early morning delivery services, dining out frequency, and the intake of health-functional foods consistently demonstrated a positive correlation with the propensity to purchase eco-friendly foods. Overall, consumers prioritizing safety, quality, and nutrition over price, taste, and convenience in their procurement decisions for rice, vegetables, meat, and processed foods exhibit an increased inclination toward the acquisition of eco-friendly food products.

본 연구의 목적은 여자 대학생 태권도 선수들의 선수 경력, 대회 참가빈도가 운동몰입에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 데 있다. 본 연구의 대상은 여자 대학 태권도 선수 20명이다. 선수 경력과 대회 참가빈도 는 4점 척도로 조사하였고, 1점에서 4점으로 점수가 높으면 높을수록, 선수 경력과 대회 참가빈도가 높음 을 의미한다. 운동몰입에 대한 평가는 운동몰입척도를 활용하였다. 운동몰입척도는 총 8문항으로 행위 몰 입 4문항과 인지 몰입 4문항으로 구성되어있고, 5점 리커트 척도를 활용하여 평정하며, 점수가 높으면 높 을수록 운동몰입 수준이 높음을 의미한다. 그 결과 대회 참가 빈도와 운동몰입 간에 정적 (+) 상관관계와 인과관계가 나타났다. 선수 경력은 부적 (-) 인과관계를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 대회 참가빈도가 높을수록 운동몰입 수준이 증가하며, 선수 경력이 길수록 운동몰입 수준이 감소한다고 설명할 수 있다. 따라서, 여자 대학 태권도 선수들의 운동몰입 수준을 향상시키기 위해 대회 참가 빈도와 선수 경력을 고려해야 할 것이 다.

The acoustic emission (AE) method as a passive non-destructive monitoring technique is proposed for real-time monitoring of mechanical degradation in underground structures, such as deep geological disposal of high-level nuclear waste (HLW). This study investigates the low-frequency characteristics of AE signals emitted during the fracturing of meter-scale concrete specimens; uniaxial compression tests (UCT) in a lab scale and Goodman jack (GJ) tests in a 1.3 m-long concrete block were conducted while acquiring the AE signals using low-frequency AE sensors. The results indicate a sharp increase in AE energy emission at approximately 60% and 80% of the yield stresses in the UCT and GJ tests, respectively. The collected AE signals were primarily found in two frequency bands: the 4-28 kHz range and the 56-80 kHz range. High-frequency AE signals were captured more as the stress increased in the GJ tests, which was in contrast to the UCT tests. Furthermore, the AE signals obtained from the Goodman jack tests tended to lower RA values than the UCT results. This study presents unique experimental data with low-frequency AE sensors under different loading conditions, which provides insights into field-scale AE monitoring practices.

The purpose of this study was to examine changes in serving frequency of elementary school meal before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Number of menus provided in June and July of 2019 and 2020 were compared for 300 elementary schools in Korea. As a result, the serving frequency of la carte and dessert was increased after COVID-19. In addition, frequencies of main dishes such as pork cutlet, chicken, sweet and sour pork, hamburger steak, and so on using processed food were increased after COVID-19. Because of the longer serving time due to staggered serving, cook's working time for serving meals became longer. Therefore, it was judged that the number of servings of processed food was increased rather than the menu with a large amount of preprocessing work. Moreover, among desserts, fruits showed increased serving frequency. Serving frequencies for juice and dairy products were also increased. However, increased servings of juice and dairy products could increase sugar intake. Thus, a careful plan for menu composition is needed to provide balanced nutrients to students under emergency situations such as an infectious disease.
