The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of somatotype on the VO2max and hormone (adrenaline and noradrenaline) during treadmill walking. Forty healthy men participated and were randomized to four groups: Male 1 (M1) group, Male 2 (M2) group, Male 3 (M3) group, and Male 4 (M4) group. M4 group is the largest body type, and M1 group is the smaller the body type. Participants walked at a speed of 3.5 km/h for five minutes at an incline angle of 0°, 5°, and 10° in the treadmill. Maximum oxygen consumption and hormone (adrenaline and noradrenaline) were measured. In the results, VO2max has significantly increased according to the degree of the treadmill inclination, and M4 group (larger body type) consumed more oxygen than the M1 group (smaller body type). In the hormone, there was a significant increase in adrenaline concentration after walking in all groups, and there was a significant difference in M1-M4, M2-M4 and M3-M4. The noradrenaline concentration significantly increased after treadmill gait in all groups, and there was no significant difference in noradrenaline between groups. This study suggests that the larger body type consumes more oxygen during walking, and treadmill walking contributes to an increase in the concentration of adrenaline and noradrenaline.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is an attractive material for smart window applications where the transmittance of light can be automatically modulated from a transparent state to an opaque state at the critical temperature of ~68˚C. Meanwhile, F : SnO2 (F-doped SnO2, FTO) glass is a transparent conductive oxide material that is widely used in solar-energy-related applications because of its excellent optical and electrical properties. Relatively high transmittance and low emissivity have been obtained for FTO-coated glasses. Tunable transmittance corresponding to ambient temperature and low emissivity can be expected from VO2 films deposited onto FTO glasses. In this study, FTO glasses were applied for the deposition of VO2 thin films by pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. VO2 thin films were also deposited on a Pyrex substrate for comparison. To decrease the phase transition temperature of VO2, tungsten-doped VO2 films were also deposited onto FTO glasses. The visible transmittance of VO2/FTO was higher than that of VO2/pyrex due to the increased crystallinity of the VO2 thin film deposited on FTO and decreased interface reflection. Although the solar transmittance modulation of VO2/FTO was lower than that of VO2/pyrex, room temperature solar transmittance of VO2/FTO was lower than that of VO2/pyrex, which is advantageous for reflecting solar heat energy in summer.

The purpose of this study was to produce the regression equation from non-exercise of healthy young adults and to develop a maximal oxygen consumption () regression model. This model was based on heart rate non-exercise predictor variables (rest heart rate, maximal heart rate/rest heart rate), as an extra addition to the general regression which can reflect an individual's inherent or acquired cardiorespiratory fitness. The subjects were 101 healthy young adults aged 19 to 35 years. Exercise testing was measured by using a Balke protocol for treadmill and indirect calorimetry. The prediction equation was analyzed by using stepwise multiple regression procedures. The mean of was (meanSD). The greatest variable correlated to was %fat. The predictor variable used in the non-exercise included %fat, gender, habitual physical activity and . The non-exercise estimation was as follows: ()=55.58-.41(%fat)+.59(physical activity rating)-2.69()-5.36 (male=0, female=1); (R=.85, SEE=3.64, R2=.72: including heart rate variable); ()=48.47-.41(%fat)+.45(physical activity rating)-5.12 (male=0, female=1); (R=.84, SEE=3.74, R2=.70: with the exception of heart rate variable). As an added heart rate variable, there was only a 2% coefficient of determination improved. Therefore, these results demonstrated that heart rate variable correlation with a non-exercise regression model was very low. In conclusion, for healthy young korean adults, those variables that can affect non-exercise estimation turned out to be only % fat, gender, and physical activity. We suggest that further research of predictor variables for non-exercise is necessary for different patient groups who cannot perform maximal exercise or submaximal exercise.

VO2 써모크로믹 원도우의 가시광 투과율을 높히기 위하여 내마모성이 우수한 SiO2박막을 이용하여 AR(anti-rdflection)코팅을 하였다. 두가지 중요한 공정변수인 기판온도와 증착속도가 AR효과에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그리고 SiO2박막의 AR효과는 낮은 기판온도와 높은 증착속도에서 더 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 SiO2AR 박막의 굴절율과 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. VO2 써모크로믹 유리 위에 SiO2AR-코팅을 했을 때 약 30% 정도의 가시광 투과율의 향상이 있었다. 그리고 AR-코팅을 하지 않은 경우보다 더 뚜렷한 써모크로미즘을 나타냈다. 또한 천이온도는 70˚C정도로 AR-코팅을 하지 않은 VO2써모크로믹 유리의 경우와 같게 나타났다.
