괭이갈매기는 국내에서 서식하는 대표적인 바닷새로, 서해와 남해뿐만 아니라 동해까지 집단 번식지가 존재하고 있다. 하지만 현재 괭이갈매기에 대한 연구의 대부분이 서해와 남해에서 번식하는 개체에 집중되고 있어, 동해 지역에 대한 연구가 상대적으로 부족한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 동해 울릉도에서 번식하는 괭이갈매기 4개체를 대상으로 2021년과 2022년 5월에 야생동물 위치추적기(WT-300)를 부착하여 이동경로와 행동권 분석을 실시하였다. 괭이갈매기는 번식기간에 울릉도 주변 또는 강릉에서 울진에 이르는 동해 연안까지 활동범위로 삼았고, 번식기 이후에는 일본의 중남부 지역으로 이동하여 서식하는 것으로 나타났다. 국내에서 번식기간 MCP 분석에서 행동권 평균면적은 9,476± 10,066㎢로 확인되었고, KDE 분석에서는 95%일 때 3,574±3,378㎢, 50%일 때 289±200㎢로 나타났다. 번식기간 이후 일본에서의 MCP 행동권 평균면적은 1,899±3,127㎢이었고, KDE 95%는 2,844±4,787㎢, KDE 50%는 385±635㎢ 의 행동권을 보여주었다. 본 연구는 동해와 일본 연안을 이동하며 서식하는 괭이갈매기의 행동권을 제공함으로써, 괭이갈매기의 보전과 관리를 위한 기초자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
흑비둘기는 상록수림이 분포하는 해안가 및 도서 등 동아시아-태평양 섬에만 분포하는 희귀한 종으로 생물학적 보존 가치가 높아 국내에서 천연기념물 및 멸종위기야생생물Ⅱ급으로 지정되어 있다. 본 연구는 울릉도에서 서식하는 흑비둘기 3개체를 대상으로 2021년과 2022년 6월에 야생동물 위치추적기(WT-300)를 부착하여 이동경로 및 행동권을 분석하였다. MCP(최소볼록다각형법) 분석에서 행동권 평균 면적은 9.6㎢로 확인되었고, KDE(커널밀도추정법) 는 95%일 때 6.6㎢, 50%일 때 1.8㎢로 나타났다. 개체별 MCP는 각각 BW1 0.4㎢, BW2 27.4㎢, BW3 1.0㎢으로 확인되었며, KDE 95%일 때 BW1 0.2㎢, BW2 19.4㎢, BW3 0.3㎢, KDE 50%일 때 BW1 0.02㎢, BW2 5.4㎢, BW3 0.03㎢로 나타났다. BW2의 행동권이 다른 개체들 보다 넓게 분석되었으며, 이러한 차이는 한정된 지역에 먹이 경쟁 등 서식환경에 따른 차이로 추정된다.
Background: With the increasing demand for healthcare devices, the home healthcare market has been continuously expanding. Objectives: This study examined how a home calf massager affects muscle tone and stiffness in the calf region and the active range of motion (AROM) of the ankle in healthy adults to determine whether the massager is suitable for healthcare use in healthy individuals. Design: A quasi-experimental clinical trial. Methods: The study included 20 healthy men in their 20s, analyzing changes in muscle tone and stiffness in the calf region, AROM of the ankle joint, and differences between the two legs before and after applying the home calf massager. Results: After using the home calf massager, significant reductions in muscle tone and stiffness were observed in the lateral gastrocnemius muscles on both sides, as well as in the stiffness of the medial gastrocnemius muscles on both sides (P<.05). The AROM of the ankle joint significantly increased in all cases of dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion (P<.05). Conclusion: The use of a home calf massager in healthy adult males did not impose a physiological burden on muscle tone and stiffness in the calf region and was effective in immediately improving ankle joint mobility.
Background: Limited ankle dorsiflexion (DF) range of motion (ROM) is associated with mechanical dysfunctions and chronic ankle instability. Uphill treadmill walking exercise (UTWE) has the potential to improve ankle mobility and function. Objects: This study aimed to examine the immediate effects of a 15° UTWE on DF ROM and torque generation in patients with limited DF. Methods: The study included 20 adults, comprising 10 males and 10 females, with a mean age 28 years and a passive DF range of 5°–12°. After baseline assessments, participants completed 30 minutes of UTWE on a 15° incline treadmill, followed by post-assessments. DF ROM was evaluated during the stance phase of gait, and in both open-kinematic-chain (OKC) and closed-kinematic-chain (CKC) conditions using a goniometer and Image J software. DF and plantar flexion (PF) peak torque were measured with a Biodex Dynamometer. Results: Post intervention, maximum DF ROM during the stance phase of gait increased significantly from a mean of 8.54° ± 3.97° to 11.03° ± 4.41°. The DF ROM in the OKC and CKC conditions increased significantly from a mean of 8.90° ± 0.62° and 21.55° ± 0.72° to 18.00° ± 1.13° and 28.20° ± 1.00°, respectively (p < 0.0001). DF peak torque increased from 16.20 ± 1.28 N/m to 21.52 ± 1.39 N/m, and PF peak torque increased from 25.26 ± 2.51 N/m to 44.22 ± 4.20 N/m (p < 0.0002). Conclusion: UTWE significantly enhanced DF ROM and ankle torque, indicating that it may be an effective intervention for improving ankle function and preventing injury in clinical and rehabilitation settings.
본 연구에서는 전하 이동 특성을 가지는 분자[쿠마린(C)-DNP]의 흡수 스펙트럼을 정확하게 예측하기 위해 장거 리 보정 밀도 범함수 이론 (long-range corrected density functional theory, LC-DFT)인 LC-BLYP의 범위 분리 매개변수 (μ)를 여러 가지 피팅 방법을 이용하여 최적화하였다. 기체 상태의 Koopmans 이론을 기반으로 최적화된 μ값은 실험적 흡수 피크에 비해 청색 이동(blue-shift)되는 경향성을, 반대로 용매 환경에서 최적화된 μ값은 과도하게 적색 이동 (red-shift)이 되는 경향성을 보였다. 반면, 실험적 데이터에 맞춰 조정된 μ값은 흡수 스펙트럼의 피크 위치와 세기를 가 장 고정확도로 재현하였으며, 특히 C-DNP와 C-OH 분자에서 나타나는 최대 흡수 피크 에너지의 차이를 잘 예측하였 다. C-DNP의 HOMO와 LUMO 전자 분포는 모든 μ값에서 일정한 모양(shape)을 가지고 있었으며, HOMO에서 LUMO 의 전이는 C에서 DNP로의 분자 내 전하 이동(Intramolecular Charge Transfer, ICT)임을 보였다.

As the importance of the indoor environment increases. As part of a study to improve range hood performance, a flow analysis of chamber casing was conducted. flow analysis was performed by applying Realizable ( ) Model. For flow analysis, “STAR-CCM+” program of “SIEMENS” was used. It was analyzed how changes in inlet velocity, outlet velocity(flow rate) and static pressure increase occur according to changes in the shape of the chamber casing. Flow analysis was performed by changing the shape of the chamber casing limitedly, but the results were not helpful in improving the performance of range hood.
Background: Thoracic kyphosis is a condition characterized by an excessive curvature of the thoracic spine, often leading to decreased trunk range of motion and various health complications. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a rolling corrector on trunk range of motion (ROM) and thoracic kyphosis angle in individuals with thoracic kyphosis. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Thirty participants with a thoracic kyphosis angle of 40 degrees or more were randomly assigned to either the rolling corrector group (RCG) or the control group (CG). The RCG used the rolling corrector for 30 minutes per session, five times a week for two weeks, while the CG received no intervention. Trunk ROM and thoracic kyphosis angle were measured before and after the intervention. Results: The RCG showed significant improvements in trunk flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation ROM, as well as in the thoracic kyphosis angle, in within-group comparisons (P<.05). The CG did not exhibit significant changes in any of these variables (P<.05). Significant differences between the RCG and CG were observed in trunk ROM and thoracic kyphosis angle (P<.05). Conclusion: The rolling corrector was effective in improving trunk ROM and reducing the thoracic kyphosis angle in individuals with thoracic kyphosis. These findings suggest that the rolling corrector may be a beneficial intervention for managing thoracic kyphosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the impact range of explosion damage due to gas leaks at LPG filling stations, focusing on propane and butane, which are components of vehicle LPG. The scenarios were designed based on the explosion incident at an LPG filling station in Gangwon-do, where an actual gas leak accident occurred, resulting in Scenario I and Scenario II. The ALOHA program, developed by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), was used as the tool to analyze the impact range of the explosion damage for both substances. The results of the study indicated that, under identical conditions, propane had a wider impact range of damage than butane. This is presumed to be due to the greater explosion energy of propane, attributable to its physicochemical properties. Therefore, when preparing for LPG leak accidents, measures for propane need to be prioritized. As safety measures for propane, two suggestions were made to minimize human casualties. First, from a preventive perspective, it is suggested to educate workers about propane. Second, from the perspective of response measures and damage minimization, it is suggested to thoroughly prepare emergency evacuation and rescue plans, evacuation routes, designated shelters, and emergency response teams. This study compares and analyzes the impact range of radiative heat damage based on LPG components. However, hazardous accidents are critically influenced by the type of leaking substance, the form of the leak, and meteorological factors affecting the diffusion pattern of the substance. Therefore, for future research, it is proposed to model various leakage scenarios for the same substance to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment.

And in MKG, there was a statistically significant decrease in SPADI pain, SPADI disability and increase in external rotation and internal rotation. Conclusion: The mobilization with kinesiotaping was effective in improving pain, disability, and ROM in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
본 논문에서는 충격파 형태의 폭발 하중을 받는 부재의 소성 범위를 고려한 SDOF 해석의 수정계수를 개발하였다. SDOF 해석의 수 정계수는 MDOF 해석 결과 값을 비교하여 도출하였다. SDOF 해석에 영향을 미치는 매개변수로 부재의 경계조건, 폭발 하중 지속시 간과 고유주기 비를 선정하였다. 수정계수는 탄성 하중-질량 변환 계수를 기준으로 산정하였다. 수정계수 곡선은 상한, 하한 매개변수 경계 사이에 있도록 타원 방정식을 이용하여 도출하였다. 서로 다른 단면과 경계조건을 가지는 예제에 수정계수를 적용한 결과 SDOF 해석의 오차율이 15%에서 3%로 감소하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 수정계수를 적용하여 SDOF 해석의 정확도를 높임에 따라 폭발 해석 에 널리 활용될 수 있다.
Background: Limitations of shoulder range of motion (ROM), particularly shoulder internal rotation (SIR), are commonly associated with musculoskeletal disorders in both the general population and athletes. The limitation can result in connective tissue lesions such as superior labrum tears and symptoms such as rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement syndrome. Maintaining the center of rotation of the glenohumeral joint during SIR can be challenging due to the compensatory scapulothoracic movement and anterior displacement of the humeral head. Therefore, observing the path of the instantaneous center of rotation (PICR) using the olecranon as a marker during SIR may provide valuable insights into understanding the dynamics of the shoulder joint. Objects: The aim of the study was to compare the displacement of the olecranon to measure the rotation control of the humeral head during SIR in individuals with and without restricted SIR ROM. Methods: Twenty-four participants with and without restricted SIR ROM participated in this study. The displacement of olecranon was measured during the shoulder internal rotation control test (SIRCT) using a Kinovea (ver. 0.8.15, Kinovea), the 2-dimensional marker tracking analysis system. An independent t-test was used to compare the horizontal and vertical displacement of the olecranon marker between individuals with and without restricted SIR ROM. The statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results: Vertical displacement of the olecranon was significantly greater in the restricted SIR group than in the control group (p < 0.05). However, no significant difference was observed in the horizontal displacement of the olecranon (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that individuals with restricted SIR ROM had significantly greater vertical displacement of the olecranon. The results suggest that the limitation of SIR ROM may lead to difficulty in rotation control of the humeral head.
Background: Mobilization with movement (MWM) is an effective intervention for increasing range of motion (ROM) and function without pain. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to comprehensively characterize the functional effects of MWM applied to the ankle joint in patients with stroke. Design: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Methods: International electronic databases, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, and Google scholar were included and identified after review by two investigators in July 2023 according to PRISMA guidelines. Data were synthesized using software provided by Cochran and analyzed using a random effects model with reweighting to account for heterogeneity between participants. Results: After excluding duplicate studies, 14 of the 19 articles screened through the abstracts were excluded, resulting in a total of five studies involving 109 participants with stroke. MWM showed significant differences in ankle ROM [overall effect (Z=3.27, P=0.00)], gait speed [overall effect (Z=3.33, P=0.00)], and cadence [overall effect (Z=2.49, P=0.01)]. Conclusion: The results of the meta-analysis confirmed that MWM is effective in improving ankle ROM and gait parameters in patients with stroke.
Background: Among the various rehabilitation methods for stroke patients, one method involves the use of vibration. Recently, vibration foam rollers, combining vibration with foam rolling, have been developed and are widely used. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vibration foam rolling on ankle range of motion (ROM), and gait speed in patients with stroke. Design: A randomized controlled trial. Methods: Thirty stroke patients volunteered to participate and were randomly assigned to the vibrating foam roller group (n=15) and the non-vibrating foam roller group (n=15). Active dorsiflexion ROM, and 10-meter walk (10MW) were used to evaluate ankle ROM, and gait speed before and after each exercise. The two groups performed a 30-minute foam roller exercise program. The non-vibrating foam roller group performed the same exercise program as the vibrating foam roller group, but without vibration. Results: The within-group change in active dorsiflexion ROM after the exercise was significant for both the vibrating foam roller group and the non-vibrating foam roller group (P<.05). The within-group change in 10MW after the exercise was significant for the vibrating foam roller group (P<.05), while it was not significant for the non-vibrating foam roller group (P>.05). Additionally, there was no significant difference in active dorsiflexion ROM and 10MW between the vibrating foam roller group and the non-vibrating foam roller group (P>.05). Conclusion: This study confirmed that a vibrating foam roller exercise program immediately improves ankle ROM and gait speed in stroke patients.
자율주행차량의 첨단 운전자 보조 시스템(ADAS)의 발전은 자율주행차량의 상용화를 가속화하고 있지만, 그 안전성을 입증하기 위한 충분한 테스트와 검증이 필요하다. 실제 차량을 이용한 대규모 테스트는 비용과 시간뿐만 아니라 다양한 시나리오를 구현하고 평가하 는 데 어려움이 있어, 다수의 연구자들은 시뮬레이션을 활용하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 연구에서는 차량 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 CarMaker와 교통 흐름 시뮬레이션인 VISSIM을 결합하여 공동으로 시뮬레이션을 진행한다. 또한 두 시뮬레이션의 장점 을 결합하여 자율주행차량의 데이터를 보다 포괄적으로 분석할 수 있는 프레임워크를 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 각각의 시뮬레이션 에서 얻은 Ego Vehicle의 속도 값은 미세한 차이를 보였으며, 이는 실시간 시뮬레이션의 통신 과정에서 발생하는 오류로 해석된다. 또 한, 특정 시나리오에서는 차량이 급정지 후 출발하는 형태를 보였으며, 이는 자율주행차량이 주변 차량의 주행을 인식하여 주행 패턴 에 변화를 주는 것으로 해석된다. 향후에는 도심 도로에서의 자율주행 평가를 통해 복잡한 교통 상황과 불확실한 요소들로 인해 어려 운 문제를 겪는 상황을 분석할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
The operating parameters considered in this study include evaporating and condensing temperature, degree of subcooling and degree of superheating. in R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system and R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system with the range of low temperature -50℃∼-30℃. The coefficient of performance(COP) of R744-R717 cascade refrigeration system is about 16∼20% greater than that of R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system in the range of evaporation temperature of -50℃∼-30℃. R744 two-stage compression refrigeration system is unstable because its coefficient of performance changes significantly depending on the evaporating temperature and total compression work, and compression efficiency decreases. In this case, not efficient for long-term use. Whereas R744-R717 R744-R717 is a cascade refrigeration system using eco-friendly refrigerants. And this system is a high-efficiency refrigeration system that performs well even under various operating conditions. This is why it can be configured by selecting a refrigerant suitable for the high temperature side and the low temperature side.
