The walking-stick insects, Ramulus mikado, are outbreaks in several mountainous areas from 2020 to 2022. In recent, some population of the insect are showed rapidly decline in their abundance, while some of them are still maintained high population density. In worldwide, insects belonging to Phasmida are reported to outbreak in their habitats as mentioned above environments, but knowledge about outbreak pattern of the walking-stick insects is still lacking. In this study, we aimed which biological and environmental factors are related to wax and wane of the insect population. From 2022 to 2023, we studied host tree preferences in natural conditions, ecological stoichiometry in major host trees, overwintering ecology of R. mikado eggs, and infection rate by entomophathogenic fungi during growing season.

This study sought to conduct a fundamental investigation in order to test and evaluate the thermal performance of an aluminum stick curtain wall system. In terms of the thermal performance index, the infiltration rate of air tightness, thermal transmittance of the heat insulation property and temperature difference ratio of condensation resistance were experimentally measured. The research process can be divided into three parts. First of all, a database for the test report of the curtain wall was compiled and existing design criteria with respect to the evaluation method and standard of transparent building components such as curtain wall, window and door were analyzed to produce the specimens. Secondly, four different types of curtain wall specimens were created through investigating the curtain wall database. Thirdly, standard tests of thermal performance were carried out for airtightness, thermal performance and condensation resistance. As a result, the curtain wall specimens with low-e triple glazing covered by an aluminum capture system showed high thermal performance compared to other curtain wall specimens including low-e triple glazing with a 4-sided structural sealant glazing system. Air tightness of all types of curtain wall specimens satisfied level 1 standard for air tightness. It was found that a curtain wall which consists of a one track frame has difficulties meeting the residential standard of thermal performance with regard to thermal transmittance and condensation resistance.

This study compared and analyzed the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of the commercial stick-type jelly of pomegranate (P1-P3), green apple (G1-G3), and red ginseng (R1-R3). The pomegranate group's pH showed a relatively low range (3.38-3.61), and the red ginseng group showed a relatively high range (4.14-4.96). The total acidity of commercial stick-type jelly was in the range of 0.31-4.60, and this value satisfied the total acidity standard of candy prescribed in the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. Water content in the commercial stick-type jelly was lowest in P1 (45.99%) and highest in R3 (83.16%). The pomegranate group was significantly higher than the other samples for sugar content and turbidity (p<0.05). Fracturability was measured only in G2 and G3 with significantly lower hardness values (p<0.05), while the pomegranate group showed significantly higher values for hardness, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, gumminess, and chewiness compared to other samples (p<0.05). In DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content results, the pomegranate group tended to have a high value, especially P3, which showed significantly the highest DPPH free radical scavenging activity (p<0.05). These results show that various commercial stick-type jelly products have different characteristics according to such factors like raw material and manufacturer.

The most important role of air defense system is to attack the air target of enemy to defend the important military unit or facilities. In order to attack the target as soon as it is detected, fast and precise fire signal transfer using the fire control stick is very important. However, it was found that firing is not conducted in the test for fire control stick. In order to find the reason of such problem and improve life cycle of fire control stick, the test was conducted and it was found that chattering occurred and this led to malfunction of signal transfer from control stick to fire control unit of air defense system. In order to draw resolution for this problem, two contact plate made of beryllium copper is suggested to add to the control stick to enhance the contact and reduce chattering effect. The four fire switch prototypes were tested for 100,000 times and it showed its reliability of use.

혁신 채찍(Innovation stick)은 혁신을 위한 특정 의무를 부과하고 그 의무를 달성하지 못하였을 경우 벌금 등의 불이익을 부과하는 방식이다. 특허와 같은 당근뿐만 아니라 불이익을 부과하는 채찍으로도 혁신을 달성할 수 있다. 필요한 혁신이지만 이에 대한 시장의 수요가 적은 경우, 시장 경쟁에만 두면 외부효과가 만연한 경우, 또는 채찍 적용 대상이 시장에서 탈출할 위험이 적은 경우에는 혁신 채찍이 유용하다. 혁신 채찍은 사회 전체 이익을 위한 효과적인 수단을 추구하도록 하고 당근과 달리 추가적인 비용을 발생시키지 않는다. 단, 이러한 이점을 누리기 위해서는 정부가 혁신 채찍을 설정하는 주체로서 정보 부담을 지어야 한다. 대표적인 혁신 채찍으로는 기업평균연비제도와 포괄수가제를 들 수 있는데, 모두 미국, 유럽, 우리나라 등 여러 국가에서 활용되고 있다. 앞으로 다가올 인공지능⋅빅데이터 시대에도 혁신 채찍은 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. 인공지능 ⋅빅데이터가 발전할 수 있는 환경을 구축하거나 우려되는 외부효과를 방지하는 데 혁신 채찍이 좋은 도구가 될 수 있다. 공공 영역에서는 고품질 공공데이터 확보를 위한 혁신 채찍이, 시장 영역에서는 인공지능⋅빅데이터 시스템의 블랙박스화와 차별을 방지하기 위한 혁신 채찍이 필요하다. 이를 위해서 정부는 많은 정보 부담을 감수하고 준비하여야 한다. 준비 없이 만들어진 채찍은 사람들을 시장에서 탈출하게 하여 오히려 혁신을 저해할 수 있다. 미국, 유럽 등 주요국은 이미 인공지능⋅빅데이터 시대의 혁신 채찍을 수립하기 위한 연구를 시작하였다. 우리도 국제사회와 함께 필요한 혁신 채찍이 무엇인지, 적용 기준은 무엇인지, 어떻게 평가할지 논의를 진행하여야 한다.

A conventional lumped-mass stick model is based on the tributary area method to determine the masses lumped at each node and used in earthquake engineering due to its simplicity in the modeling of structures. However the natural frequencies of the conventional model are normally not identical to those of the actual structure. To solve this problem, recently an updated lumped-mass stick model is developed to provide the natural frequencies identical to actual structure. The present study is to investigate the seismic response accuracy of the updated lumped-mass stick model, comparing with the response results of the shaking table test. For the test, a small size four-story steel frame structure is prepared and tested on shaking table applying five earthquake ground motions. From the comparison with shaking table test results, the updated model shows an average error of 3.65% in the peak displacement response and 9.68% in the peak acceleration response. On the other hand, the conventional model shows an average error of 5.15% and 27.41% for each response.

We designed a dual type stick from a universal design point of view for the aged who need walking sticks. The dual type stick is a differentiated walking stick different from the existing walking sticks because it is a walking assistance device with stability and convenience that can be used for flatland gait and step gait for the aged. This research as one of the processes of capstone design is conducted by utilizing 3D rendering, 2D design, stress analysis using inventor according to stick materials, and a 1/4 scale mock-up product.

Baculum elongatum has a long, thin shape that resembles a twig, propagates by parthenogenesis, changes body color, and drops eggs, all of which suggests its potential in the commercial market, especially as an educational pet insect. This study was carried out to determine the best hatching environment and an alternative or artificial diet for rearing B. elongatum to be developed as a commercial and educational pet insect. Oviposition was performed by females without fertilization by the sperm of males. The oviposition period was 42.2 ± 22.7 days and the number of eggs per female was 109.5 ± 70.5 eggs. The hatch rate was 73.3% at 25°C and 66.7% after low temperature treatment (8°C for 60 days). In nature, B. elongatum overwinters as an egg, but it can be assumed from the results that cold temperatures were not required for hatching. The hatch rate was 98.2% in the treatment using floral foam, fermented sawdust, and leaves. Clover(Trifolium repens) was an excellent diet as it was similar to the host plant and could be used as an alternative diet. The rate of reaching adulthood for the insects was 66.7% on an artificial diet containing 25% acacia leaves. For sustainable mass rearing of nymphs or adults of B. elongatum, a natural diet could be used such as acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia), white oak (Quercus aliena), chestnut (Castanea crenata var. dulcis), and bush clover (Lespedeza bicolor), or an alternative diet such as clover or artificial diet. To rear nymphs and adults of B. elongatum, natural diet such as acacia, white oak, chestnut, or bush clover leaves, or an alternative diet such as clover or an artificial diet can be used.

구조물의 내진설계 또는 내진성능평가를 위해서는 구조물의 축소모형을 이용한 실험적 분석이나 유한요소모델을 기반으로 한 수치적 방법이 고려된다. 수치적 방법을 위해서는 정교한 모델링이 요구될 경우 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하나 민감도 분석이나지진 취약도 분석과 같은 방대한 지진데이터를 이용한 평가에서는 집중질량모델이 선호된다. 하지만 기존의 집중질량모델은 일반적으로구조물의 기하학적 형상을 고려하여 집중질량을 산출하는 방식인데, 이 경우 제공되는 고유치는 실구조물의 고유치와 일치하지 않는다.본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 개선하고 실구조물과 유사한 동적 거동을 발현하는 새로운 형식의 주파수 순응형 집중질량모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 모델은 실구조물의 고유치와 고유 벡터, 모드 형상 등을 고려하여 생성하며, 모델의 성능을 검증하기 위해 비균일 단면을갖는 기둥에 대해 동적해석을 수행하였다. 또한 감쇠비에 따른 동적성능을 분석하기 위해 1%에서 5%까지의 Rayleigh Damping 적용하여 그 결과를 유한요소모델 결과와 비교하였다.

Stick insect has several peculiarities like parthenogenesis, unique external features and dropping oviposition, so it is very hopeful to use for industrial insect. The oviposition was established by only female without fertilization with sperm of male which was not discovered during this study. The oviposition period was 37.3±14.9 days and the number of eggs per female was 41.5±16.5 eggs. The hatchability was 73.3% at 25℃and 66.7% after low temperature treatment(8℃, 60 days). The developmental periods and the length of egg were 100.9±4.2 days and 0.33±0.0cm, respectively, and the adult's life span was 49.7±16.0days. Differently other research which reported five nymph stage, the developmental stages of nymph showed five(62.9%) or six(37.1%) stages. The duration and the length of nymph increased according to the increase of nymph stage. Stick insect preferred the leaf of American locust, White oak, Chestnut, Bush clover in order but could be reared with food of the leaf of all these trees. Stick insects are herbivorus but made an attack each other when encountered in the small space. For sustaining mass rearing of stick insect, it is needed that the development of artificial diet and high density rearing method.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of manual facilitation and a stick on lumbar and hip joint flexion angles in subject with lumbar flexion syndrome during forward bending from a sitting position. Fifteen subjects with lumbar flexion syndrome were recruited for this study. As a pretest, all subjects performed three repetitions of bending the trunk forward until the tips of their fingers touched the target bar. After this pretest, the subjects practiced the forward bending of the trunk 10 times, using either manual facilitation or a stick. Then, as a posttest, all subjects repeated the pretest procedure. The flexion angles of lumbar spine and hip joint during forward bending in a sitting position were measured using a three-dimensional motion analysis system. A paired t-test was used to determine the statistical differences between pre-test and post-test flexion angles and pre- and post-test flexion angle differences between forward bending with manual facilitation and forward bending with a stick. The level of statistical significance was set at p=.05. The results of the study showed that the angle of the lumbar flexion decreased significantly and the bilateral hip flexion angle increased significantly when performing forward bending with stick and manual facilitation. Furthermore, the angle of lumbar flexion decreased significantly and the angle of bilateral hip flexion increased significantly in forward bending with a stick compared to forward bending with manual facilitation. The findings of this study indicate that both forward bending with manual facilitation and sticks could be used to prevent excessive lumbar flexion and increase hip flexion, and that forward bending with a stick is more effective than forward bending with manual facilitation for inducing lumbar spine and hip joint angle changes.

In order to investigate influence of moon light to the fishing of Pacific saury stick-held dip net fishery in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, casting number, catch and CPUE were analyzed between the full moon and the new moon phases.
