Objectives: To estimate the prevalence rate of hypertension, the changes of health behavior, and compliance for the drug treatment after diagnosed as hypertension. Methods: 7,030 persons who live in Cheonan City of Chungnam Province were selected by the cluster sampling method, and 5,372 persons were surveyed by questionnaire and health examination. This data is analyzed by Chi-square test on each variable. Results: 49.8%- of men and 38.8%- of women had been diagnosed as hypertension, and the prevalence rate of hypertension was significantly increased with aging in both gender. The prevalence rate tended to decrease in highly educated women group. Unemployed persons or obese persons showed relatively higher prevalence rate. The prevalence rate of hypertension increased in groups with higher total cholesterol levels over 240 mg/dl, and groups with glucose level over 200 mg/dl. 53.1%- of male patients and 66.6%- of female patients showed compliance for antihypertensive treatment. Compliance for treatment was higher in aged group or lower educated group in both gender. Among men, proportion of compliant subjects was higher in unemployed group(49.3%-), and lower in labor or primary industry than the others but among women, there was not any significant difference. And men with compliance for treatment had higher monthly income than the others, but women did not show any. Conclusion : This population had a high prevalence rate of hypertension which may lead to cardiovascular disease. Therefore health education programs and distribution of information must be emphasized in order to increase compliance to treatment and encourage the change of health behavior to promote health.

지상파 방송(DMB: Digital Multimedia Broadcasting)은 음성, 영상, 데이터와 같은 다양한 멀티미디어 신호를 디지털 방식으로 변조하여 이동 중에 방송을 청취 할 수 있는 차세대 디지털방송 서비스이다. 하지만 한정된 대역폭으로 인한 비디오 전송율의 한계에 따라 최대 CIF(Common Interleaved Frame)급 화면해상도까지 서비스가 가능하다. 그러나 지상파 DMB 전송 고도화망에서는 계층 변조(Hierarchical Modulation)전송 기법을 통하여 추가의 전송대역폭을 확보할 수 있다. 또한 스케일러블 비디오 코딩(Scalable Video Coding)부호화 방식을 이용하여 고전송효율/고품질의 이동 멀티미디어 방송서비스를 제공할 수 있는 고품질 AT(Advanced Terrestrial)-DMB 시스템이 가능하다. 이러한 고품질 AT-DMB의 개발에 있어서 여러 방식들이 제시됨에 따라 시뮬레이터를 통한 다중화 시스템의 분석이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 고품질 AT-DMB가 가능한 스케일러블 비디오 방식을 JM8.8을 사용하여 구현하였으며, 다중화 시스템의 실험을 하였다. 또한 시뮬레이터를 통하여 확보된 계층 간의 화질 차이와 엔지니어를 위해 비트스트림의 분석화면 및 PSNR을 제공 하였다.

This study is to develop simple solidifying agent to improve loose sand ground by admixing or injecting. This paper studied the optimum mixing ratio of micro cement, bentonite, chemistry admixture, plasticizer, accelerator for the optimum fluidity and strength. The optimum mixing ratio of micro cement and bentonite is 70% : 20%, the optimum ratio of the weight of rapid solidifying agent to the weight of total improved soil is about 8%, the optimum curing period is five days.

The aim of this research is suggesting application method of the wasted rock obtained from the limestone quarry of raw material for cement as a coarse aggregate for high strength concrete after crushing and sieving processes. The wasted rock has been normally wasted because of its low quality as a material for cement production. In this research, the concrete using this wasted limestone coarse aggregate was evaluated the constructability based on the performances of workability, air content, and compressive strength. From the experiment, a favorable performance was achieved with a limestone coarse aggregate for high strength concrete comparing to the high strength concrete using granite coarse aggregate.

An alternative to the nuclear and fossil fuel power is renewable energy technologies (hydro, wind, solar and ocean), and the research about the highest efficiency machinery have been processed. The high-power LED is the representative one among those. In this paper, a high efficiency lighting system using a battery charged with solar or wind power is proposed for a high power LED. And a new efficient converter called 'Back-boost' is proposed. The validity of the lighting system scheme is verified by experimental results based on a laboratory prototype.

We have developed a radio frequency excited slab waveguide $CO_2$ laser. The dimension of active volume is 2${\times}$40${\times}$400 mm. One concave and one convex mirror are used to make the unstable resonator of the positive branch. The radio frequency is 123 MHz and RF input power is varied from 100 to 900 W. The laser gas is set to a pressure of 10∼60 torr and the mixing ratio is $CO_2$:$N_2$:He=1:1:3. The laser output power of 70.7 W was obtained which corresponds to laser power to RF power conversion efficiency of 9.2%.

Gas heating, high frequency induction heating and laser heating can be used as the heat-source of line heating. Most of shipyards have been using the gas heating method for line heating. It is difficult to control the residual deformation of gas heating. High frequency induction heating is more feasible for the automation of line heating rather than the gas heating method since it is easy to control the magnitude of heat input. In this study, a numerical model of high frequency induction heating process is proposed for the application of the line heating. The simulation process of the induction heating is composed of the electromagnetic analysis, the heat transfer analysis, and the thermal deformation analysis.

Nowadays, national critical infrastructures have been known to be highly vulnerable to the EMP threats which are internationally growing. But their realistic solutions have been not made by the lack of detailed rules and regulations in current laws, however, which cover most of cyber threats. This paper takes a look at the domestic and overseas trends on the EMP protections, and proposes the revision directives of relevant laws and the contents included into the proposed legislation. Among them, the amendment of the current "Information Infrastructure Protection Act" is considered to be the most effective, including provisions on protected informations, industrial promotions, R&D supports, education, etc. Anyway, this paper is expected to be helpful for introducing an effective legal scheme on the CIP against EMP threats. domestic rule.

초고층건축물이 증가함에 따라 고강도콘크리트의 사용량이 증가하는 추세이다. 고강도콘크리트는 내구성 및 사용성이 우수한 장점을 가지고 있는 반면 화재시 심각한 폭렬현상을 발생시켜 콘크리트 내역 감소 및 철근의 노출로 인해 건물이 붕괴까지 이르게 되는 원인이 된다. 따라서 고강도콘크리트의 내화특성을 고려한 해석(열응력, 질량 이동, 폭렬) 과정을 거쳐 폭렬 저감방안을 모색하여야 한다. 이러한 폭렬 저감방안을 표층부의 온도상승 온도구배 저감 방안, 수중기압 저감/수분 이동을 용이하게 하는 방안, 폭렬억제형 피복콘크리트 이용방안, 폭렬에 의한 콘크리트의 비산을 방지하는 방안 등이 있으며 각 방안들은 장단점을 내포하고 있어 상황에 따라 탄력적으로 적용하여야 하며, 향후 고강도 콘크리트의 역학적 성상을 고려하여 단점을 보완하고 추가적인 대책용 수립할 수 있도록 많은 연구가 필요 할 것으로 판단된다.

Ultrasonic therapy has received great attention in the field of cosmetics related to the treatment of skin thickening because of its fast recovery and safety. In this study, an output circuit of a high intensity focused ultrasound system was developed for the treatment of beauty. To verify the applicability of the high intensity focused ultrasound system to the cosmetic treatment field, we measured and analyzed the 3D ultrasound intensity energy using a hydrophone. And high-intensity focused ultrasound devices were found to be useful for cosmetic treatment.
