A program was written that calculates the contact point and rolling radius difference by considering the lateral displacement of the wheelset with respect to the rail. The characteristics of the equivalent conicity were analyzed according to the distribution characteristics of wheelset lateral displacement using the calculated rolling radius difference. The standard deviation value representing the characteristics of the wheelset lateral movement should be appropriately applied considering the range of the lateral wheelset displacement. If a small standard deviation value is applied when the lateral displacement increases during actual driving condition, the equivalent conicity could be underestimated, which may cause a problem in determining a reliable stability of the railway vehicle.

In this study, 594 questionnaires administered to men and women residing in the capital metropolitan area who work night shifts were analyzed in order to study the effect of health information cognition on healing needs in accordance with the type of food selection criteria of the night worker. The results of confirmatory factor analysis in deriving food selection type identified four categories, a safety seeking type, a food exploratory type, a habitual seeking type, and a rational type, and the cognition types on health information were classified into physical cognition and psychological cognition. The need for healing, which was the investigated factor, was found to have a high correlation between questionnaire items with high reliable consistency. The results of this study were as follows. First, the food selection types of safety seeking type and habitual food seeking type had significant positive effects on the cognitive level of physical health information, and food exploratory type and habitual seeking type had significant positive effects on the cognitive level of psychological health information. In addition, it was shown that food exploratory type and rational type had significant positive effects on healing needs. As a result of this study, it was found that the cognition level of physical and psychological information was different according to food selection type, and the higher the cognitive level, the higher the healing needs. In particular, the result that the level of psychological health information significantly affected healing needs signifies that there is a demand to develop programs and menus that satisfy various needs related to healing and recovery from fatigue. In addition, further interest and study on the health and healing of night workers are required.

We present our efforts for extending the simultaneous multi-frequency receiver system of the Korean Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) Network (KVN) to global baselines in order to measure the frequency-dependent position shifts in Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) jets, the so called core shift effect, with an unprecedented accuracy (a few micro-arcseconds). Millimeter VLBI observations with simultaneous multi-frequency receiver systems, like those of the KVN, enable us to explore the innermost regions of AGN and high precision astrometry. Such a system is capable of locating the frequency dependent opacity changes accurately. We have conducted the feasibility test-observations with the interested partners by implementing the KVN-compatible systems. Here we describe the science case for measuring the core shift effect in the AGN jet and report progress and future plans on extending the simultaneous multi-frequency system to global baselines.

Based on a literature review regarding shift work, it is recognized that it has an adverse effect on workers' health. Especially, the night shift rather than the day shift imposes severe disorders on workers, which are indicated to dyssomnia, maladaptation to social life, and health problems such as gastroenteric trouble, cardiovascular diseases and depression. As the shift work can be explainable by using workers' labor ability necessarily to maintain company business consistently, it does not consider biorhythm, active mass and health condition of workers Actually duration of shit work would deprive workers of fundamental life rights by causing physical and mental effects. As a result of reviewing previous case studies related to effect of work pattern (day shift and night shift) on workers' health, an incidence of physical diseases like dyssomnia, gastroenteric trouble, cardiovascular diseases and premature delivery was higher in shift workers than normal workers. Additionally the incidence of mental disorders such as busy brain, social isolation, depression and work stress was also higher in shift workers than normal workers. These adverse physical and mental problems were intensified to night shift workers compared to day shift workers. Considering current various reports and study results, it is recommended that the shift work, especially the night work pattern, should not apply to contemporary work situation for sustaining workers' health condition constantly.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of weight shift training with joint mobilization on the ankle joint passive range of motion (PROM), balance capacity and gait velocity in hemiplegic patients. Fourteen subjects were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (EG) or the control group (CG), with seven subjects in each group. The EG received weight shift training with joint mobilization in the paretic leg's subtalar joint in order to increase ankle dorsiflexion. The CG received general physical therapy training. Both groups received training five times a week over a period of two consecutive weeks. The figures for PROM of ankle dorsiflexion on the paretic leg, the functional reach test (FRT), the timed up and go (TUG) test, and gait velocity were recorded both before and after the training sessions for both groups. The EG's results in gait velocity, the FRT and the TUG test improved after training (p<.05). The PROM of ankle dorsiflexion improved both in the EG and the CG (p<.05), the EG demonstrated a significantly higher increase (p<.05) than that of the CG. The results of this study suggest that increased joint mobilization positively affects balance and gait velocity of hemiplegic patients. Further studies with a greater sample size are necessary in order further prove the accuracy of the results of this study.

측지연속 적심과 관수부위를 확대하여 재배한 결과, 정식 후 30일경의 생육특성은 처리간 유의성이 없었다. 그러나 장측지 발생수는 측지연속 적심과 관수부위 확대 처리구가 주당 10.1개로 가장 많았고, 측지연속 적심과 관행관수 처리구는 8.9개이었으며, 측지 1줄 연장재배와 관수부위 확대 처리구는 5.7개, 대조구는 5.6개이었다. 단측지는 4.9-3.7개로 처리간 유의성이 없었지만 총측지 발생수는 측지연속 적심과 더불어 관수부위를 확대시킨 처리구와 측지연속 적심과 관행관수 방법으로 관리한 처리구가 각각 15개와 12.5개로 많았으며, 측지 1줄 연장재배와 관수부위 확대 처리구, 측지 1줄 연장 재배와 관수부위를 확대하지 않은 처리구가 각각 10.6개와 9.7개이었다. 상품수량에 있어서는 측지연속 적심과 관수부위 확대 처리구가 60,380kg/ha으로 대조구에 비해 38% 증수되었고, 측지연속 적심과 관행관수 처리구가 54,670 kg/ha으로 25% 증수되었으며, 측지 1줄 연장재배와 관수부위 확대 처리구는 46,400kg/ha으로 6% 증수효과가 있었다. 즉, 백침계 오이를 재배할 경우, 측지는 연속 적심을 하고 관수부위를 생육 중후기에 이동시켜 주는 것이 측지 1줄기를 연장재배하고 관수 부위를 확대하지 않는 처리에 비해 측지 발생도 많고 수량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

비정질 Na-규산염과 Na-알루미노규산염 내의 Na 이온의 원자 환경을 규명하는 것은 Na을 포함하는 지구 내부 마그마의 물성을 규명하는 데 중요하다. 특히 Na 원자 환경의 규명을 통해 이동 물성에 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 Na과 산소와의 거리를 밝힐 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 23Na magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR을 이용하여 비정질 Na 규산염과 알루미노규산염의 Na 주변 원자 환경을 규명 하고자 하였고 Dmfit 프로그램을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통해 δiso 값을 구했다. Dmfit 프로그램에서 제공하는 여러 모델 중 Q mas 1/2 모델과 CzSimple 모델을 사용하여 비정질 Na-알루미노규산염의 23Na MAS NMR 스펙트럼에 대해 시뮬레이션을 진행한 결과 Q mas 1/2 모델은 세 개의 피크로 CzSimple 모델은 하나의 피크로 실험값이 재현되는 것을 확인하였다. 조성에 따른 등방성 화학적 차폐(isotropic chemical shift, δiso)의 변화를 관찰한 결과 비정질 Na-규산염과 Na-알루미노규산염에서 SiO2의 함량이 증가할수록 δiso 값이 감소하는 경향성을 보였고 SiO2 함량이 고정되어 있는 조성에서는 Na2O의 함량이 높을수록 높은 δiso 값을 보였다. 이전 연구에서 실험적으로 얻어진 값들과 본 연구에서 시뮬레이션을 통해 얻은 값을 비교해본 결과 δiso 값은 Al / (Al + Si) 값과 양의 상관관계를 보이는 것이 확인되었고 CzSimple 모델에 비해 Q mas 1/2 모델을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 한 값이 실험값을 더 잘 재현하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 1D 23Na MAS NMR 스펙트럼의 시뮬레이션을 통해 빠른 시간 내 Na 주변의 무질서도를 밝힐 수 있다는 것이 확인되었다.

Circadian rhythmicity (e.g. secretory pattern of hormones) plays an important role in the control of reproductive function. We hypothesized that the alteration of feeding pattern via meal time shift/restriction might disrupt circadian rhythms in energy balance, and induce changes in reproductive activities. To test this hypothesis, we employed simple animal model that not allowing feeding but daytime only feeding. The animals of feeding group (Control) have free access to food for 4 weeks. The day feeding (=reverse feeding, RF) animals (RF group) have restricted access to food during daytime (0900-1800) for 4 weeks. After completing the feeding schedules, body weights, testis and epididymis weights of animals from both group were not significantly different. However, the weights of seminal vesicle (control : RF group = : , <0.01) and prostate (control : RF group = : , <0.001) were significantly lower in RF group animals. The mRNA levels of pituitary common alpha subunit (; control : RF group = AU : AU, <0.001) and (control : RF group = AU : AU, <0.05) were significantly decreased in RF group. The mRNA levels of ACTH were not significantly different. We were unable to find any prominent difference in the microstructures of epididymis, and there were slight alterations in those of seminal vesicles after 4 weeks of reversed feeding when compared to control samples. The present study demonstrates that the shift and/or restriction of feeding time could alter the pituitary gonadotropin expression and the weights of seminal vesicle and prostate in rats. These data suggest the lowered gonadotropin inputs may decrease androgen secretion form testis, and consequently results in poor response of androgen-dependent tissues such as seminal vesicle and prostate.

Interest about Modal Shift is not being decreased, and it is drawing limelight as green logistics which meets low carbon green growth of National development vision. As an effect of Modal Shift, not only reduction in CO2 emission but also reduction in social cost, logistics cost etc. are being discussed. However, until now research about its practical transformation effect has been scanty. In this study, the actual expenses via CO2 emission, social cost, and logistics cost etc. by road transportation and rail transportation of container cargo with Origin/Destination between Busan-Kyeonggi Area were calculated and we propose beneficial effects when transportation mode is transformed from road to rail with Scenario Planning.
