연구목적: 국내 과일 산업의 한 단계 도약과 대외 경쟁력을 높이기 위해서는 수확작업의 기계화가 시급함. 이 연구는 국내외 과일 수확 기계화 현황과 문제점을 분석하고, 향후 수확작업 기계화 방향을 제시하고자 수행 수확기계 실용화 현황 및 고찰 (국내) 과일을 직접 수확이 아닌 수확 작업을 보조해주는 고지 작업기(수동형, 모터 진동형)와 고소 작업차가 대부분임. 수동형은 사과 감 등을 수확하지만, 작업능률이 낮고 작업자가 쉽게 피로하여 장시간 작업이 불가능하므로 실질적인 대안이 되지 못함. 진동형은 자체 동력을 이용하여 나무에 진동을 가하여 주로 대추 매실 등 소과류 수확에 이용되고, 수확능률은 우수하나 충격 손상이 많아 개선이 요구됨. 고소작업차는 동력원에 따라 충전식과 엔진식으로 구분되고, 충전식은 엔진식에 비해 진동 소음이 적어 쾌적하지만, 작업시간이 배터리 용량에 제한을 받음. 또한 작업대 작동방식에 따라 리프트형과 붐형으로 구분함. 리프트형은 리프트를 이용하여 작업대를 상하로 구동하는 방식으로 높은 위치의 과실 수확이 어렵고, 작업대 넓이 만큼의 작업 공간(과수간의 거리)이 필요함. 붐형은 필요한 곳으로 접근성이 우수하나 무거운 무게를 지탱하기 어렵기 때문에 본체를 무겁게 하거나 수시로 수확된 과일을 하차시켜야 함. (국외) 수확 후 가공되는 과일류와 포도 올리브 오렌지 매실 등 소과류 수확이 기계화되었지만, 사과 복숭아 등 신선과일은 아직도 외국의 값싼 노동자들에 의존하여 수확되고 있음. 현재 실용화된 수확 기계는 진동식 수확기계와 터널식 수확기계가 대표적임. 진동식은 집게형의 부착기를 나무 줄기에 고정한 후 트랙터 동력원으로 나무에 진동을 가하여 수확하고, 올리브 대추 등과 같은 소과류와 과피가 두꺼운 오렌지 등에 적용되고, 수확 작업능률이 매우 높으나 과일의 낙하 상처를 피할 수 없는 단점이 있음. 터널형은 규격화(과수 크기 및 형태, 재식거리)된 과수원에 잘 적응하도록 설계 제작되어, 과수 위를 지나가면서 내부에 설치된 진동장치와 컨테이너로 과일을 수확하고, 와인용 포도 수확기가 대표적임. 기계수확이 가능하도록 과수원 조성단계에서부터 재배양식(과수 좌우 및 전후 거리)을 기계의 제원(바퀴 간격, 작업부 간격 등)에 맞추어 재배함. 과일 수확로봇에 관한 연구는 활발하고 일부에서 실증시험단계에 있음. 결론: 구체적인 추진방향을 제시하면, 단기적으로는 과일 수확작업자의 작업편이성과 노동강도를 줄일 수 있도록 소형 저가 범용성이 우수한 보조기구/기계의 보급을 확대하고, 중장기적으로는 수확기계/수확로봇 개발을 위한 연구개발비 투자를 늘리는 동시에, 기계/로봇이 과수원에 잘 적응할 수 있도록 수형 재식거리 등 재배양식의 표준화가 추진되어야 함.

스마트 돈사 내의 열환경 분석에 필수적으로 고려되어야 인자는 가축의 복사 에너지 변화로 볼 수 있다. 열환경 제어의 대상이기도 하지만 회귀적으로 열환경 변화의 인자이기도 하다. 이러한 가축의 복사 에너지 분석을 위하여 시설 내에 용이하게 배포가 가능한 열화상 계측 시스템을 개발하였다. 초소형 마이크로 열화상 계측 시스템에 부가적으로 IOT(Internet of Thing) 기반 기술을 이용한 모듈화 개발을 병행하였다. 열화상 계측 센서로 LWIR(Longwave infrared)영역에 해당하는 $8{\mu}m{\sim}4{\mu}m$의 영역에서 $0.05^{\circ}C$의 분해능을 보이는 $Lepton^{TM}$ (500-0690-00, FLIR, Goleta, CA)모델을 사용하였다. SPI(Serial Peripheral Interface) 속도 2 Mhz로 마이크로프로세서(NanoPi NEO Air, FrendlyArm, CA, USA)와 고속 통신을 수행하여 9 Hz의 계측이 가능하다. 열화상 센서와 마이컴으로 구성되는 단위 계측 시스템의 통신 기능 확장을 위하여 다음과 같이 세 단계의 정보 전달 시나리오를 설계하였다. 1) 단독적으로 열화상을 계측 하고 내장된 메모리에 저장하는 형식 2) 인접한 사용자 인터페이스에서 1번 단독 모듈에 접속하여 열화상을 실시간으로 전송하여 화면에 도시하는 형식 3) 2번 사용자 도시모듈과 병행적으로 Local WI-FI 통신을 이용한 모바일 기기에 화면을 도시하는 형식. 이와 같은 계층적이며 모듈화된 계측 시스템을 구성하기 위해서 1번 모듈에 공개 소프트웨어인 Hostapd 2.5(http://w1.fi/hostapd)버전을 설치하였다. 외부 인터넷 환경이 없는 상황에 1번 모듈 단독으로 AP(Access Point) 기능을 제공하여 지근 거리에 있는 2번 모듈과 3번 모바일 기기의 접속을 관리할 수 있다. 2번 모듈의 경우 화면 다수의 1번 모듈에 접속을 교차적으로 수행하는 방식과 2번 모듈 자체가 AP가 되어 1번 모듈의 접속을 허용하는 형태로 구성되어 있다. 계측 시스템의 계측 매트릭스 구성에 따라 선택적으로 결정할 수 있다. 1번 2번 모듈 공통적으로 TCP/IP Listener와 Client 서비스를 병렬적으로 수행할 수 있도록 개발을 하였다. 3번 모바일 기기에서 사용자 인터페이스 구현을 위하여 범용 Android 기반 GUI 프로그램과 Socket 통신을 연동시켰다. 1개의 열화상 Frame의 전송량은 9,600 Byte ($=80{\times}60{\times}2Byte$) 로 WI-FI 통신 전송 시 2회 ~ 6회 정도 내외로 가변적인 통신 수행 횟수를 나타내었다. 센서 계측 시스템과 정보 전송 시스템을 병렬적으로 구성한 모듈화 된 계측시스템의 전 요소에서 센서에서 제공하는 최대 계측 주기인 9 Hz 구현이 일반적으로 가능하였다. 이를 이용한 추후 연구를 통해 가축 객체의 열복사 정보와 돈사 내 열환경 간의 역학성을 연구할 것이다.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of linear amine curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBA was cured with ethylene diamine(EDA) and hexamethylene diamine(HMDA) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work, the effect of linear amine curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties is significantly influenced by the chemical structure or chain length of curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBA/EDA system having the two carbons had higher values in the thermal stability, maximum conversion of epoxide, density, glass transition temperature, tensile modulus, flexural strength, and flexural modulus than the DGEBA/HMDA system having the six carbons, whereas the DGEBA/EDA cure system had relatively low values in the shrinkage(%), thermal expansion coefficient, tensile strength, and had similar values in the maximum exothermic temperature, and conversion of epoxide compared to the DGEBA/HMDA cure system. This findings indicate that packing ability in the HMDA structure affects the thermal and mechanical properties.

Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification means that nitrification and denitrification occur concurrently in the same reaction vessel under low DO concentration. Some mathematical models developed to simulate simultaneous nitrification and denitrification reaction, but they have the complex model structures or have limitations of model application. To solve these problems, if possible that predict the behavior of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification reaction by activated sludge model, structures of the model is less complex than previous models and applies the various operation conditions. But original activated sludge models have difficulties in representing the denitrification reaction under aerobic condition. So the aim of this study is to interpret simultaneous nitrification and denitrification reaction by modifying activated sludge model. Original activated sludge model No.1(ASM1) was selected and modified. The simulation result in modified ASM1 predicted appropriately for the measured data. This indicates the structures of ASM1 are properly improved for interpretation of simultaneous nitrification and denitrification reaction.

Objectives: Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone, and is one of the most important major public health problems world wide. It is more occurred in female than male, but as the osteoporosis of men is increasing, therefore bone fractures of men are increasing. So we investigated the factors which are related to Bone Mineral Density(BMD) of male for prevention of osteoporosis. Methods: We measured the Bone Mineral Density(BMD) of lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) and femoral neck in 5198 male, using dual energy X-ray absorptionmetry(DEXA; DPX-alpha). And then we analysed the 8 factors - age group, bone mass index(BMI), amount of smoking, drinking, exercise, and fast blood sugar, gastric disease, thyroid disease - which are related to BMD of male. Results: 1. In age group according to ${\ll}$Hwangjaenaekyong Somun, 黃帝內徑 素問${\gg}$, T-score was the highest at 17-24(三八歲) years group and decreased rapidly after 57-64(八八歲) years group in both lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) and femoral neck. Therefore we concluded that T-score of male in lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) and femoral neck change according to age group in ${\ll}$Hwangjaenaekyong Somun, 黃帝內徑 素問${\gg}$. 2. In BMI(body mass index), T-score of lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) and femoral neck were the highest in obese group than non-obese group. In comparison of age group according to BMI, T-score of lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) was significant difference in 17-72 years group and T-score of femoral neck was in 25-72 years group. 3. In exercise, T-score of lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) and femoral neck was increasing as exercising more. In comparison of age group according to exercise, Both T -score of lumbar spine and femoral neck were significant difference in 25-72 years old. 4. T-score of lumbar spine($L_2$-$L_4$) was the highest in men who have taken exercise daily, and T-score of femoral neck was the highest in men who have taken exercise 1-3 times for a week. Conclusions : The age group in ${\ll}$Hwangjaenaekyong Somun, 黃帝內徑 素問${\gg}$ is related to BMD of men. And risk factors - BMI, exercise - are related to BMD of men. Therefore we expect that this study will help for prevention of osteoporosis of men.

The strength of concrete is one of the most important parameters in evaluating the properties of concrete. Compressive strength of concrete has been widely used because of its convenience of experiments and generality. Compressive strength of concrete varies according to materials and curing conditions. Even with the same materials, the strength varies according to the curing conditions. Therefore, if we want to know the strength of concrete from the construction field, we have to put it in exactly the same curing condition with the construction field. But it is impossible to make the exactly same curing conditions in the laboratory. Also damages occur in order to measure the strength of concrete, because the core hat to be made into the pavement. To overcome these limits, many studies of nondestructive method have already been researched. It was already proven that shear wave velocity was very closely related to the compressive strength. In this study, three different curing temperatures with the same mixture paste were used, and compressive strength and shear wave velocity, according to the aging were measured. The relationship between these two parameters was examined. As results, curing temperature affected the compressive strength and the shear wave velocity, but did not affect the relation between them.

SMAS(Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome) is a disease caused by a chronic obstruction of the duodenum(transverse portion), which is hardly detectable. However, it is known that when the superior mesenteric artery and abdominal aorta form a narrow angle, that the transverse portion of the duodenum is pressed down between the superior mesenteric artery and the abdominal aorta, and that this can lead to obstruction of the duodenum. Measuring this angle is a complicated job using conventional angiography, and results often turns out to be inaccurate. In addition, no attempt has been made to determine the value of this angle in Koreans. In this study, we conducted abdominal CT angiography using MIP(maximum intensity projection) on patients with no clinical evidence of SMAS in order to determine the angle at which the superior mesenteric artery branches from the abdominal aorta by using PC based software(Rapidia ver. 1.2) for the image reconstruction. Accordingly, we found that the mean angle between the abdominal aorta and the superior mesenteric artery was $50.05{\pm}15.87^{\circ}$ on average, and that the angle in men($53.64{\pm}16.57^{\circ}$) is higher than in women($46.46{\pm}14.98^{\circ}$). We hope that the angles determined by our study will serve as an important indicator for detecting SMAS.

A pilot scale filed model test and 2-D numerical analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of constructing a geogrid-reinforced and pile-supported embankment system over soft ground to reduce differential settlement, and the results are presented hearin. Three-by-three pile groups with varying the space between pile were driven into a layer of soft marine clay and a layer of geogrid was used as reinforcement over each pile group. 2-D numerical analysis has been conducted by using the FLAC-2D(Fast Lagrangian Analysis of Continua) program for same condition of field model test. The settlement, vertical stress, and strain of geogrid due to the construction of embankment were measured at various locations. Based on the field model test and numerical analysis results, pile reinforcement generated the soil arching at the midspan of pile cap and the geogrid reinforcement helps reduce the differential settlement of the soft ground by tensile strength of geogrid. Also for $D/b{\geq}6.0$, the effectiveness of geogrid reinforcement in reducing settlement is negligible.

In phase 1 of the study, data for the construct and items of KESAS(The Korean Elderly's Successful Aging Scale) were collected by indepth interviews with a purposive sampling group of 25 elderly people and focus group interviews with four groups. Content analysis was applied to the data and from this analysis were emerged six key categories of successful aging. In phase 2 of the study, 78 items were collected from the data of 2 sets of interviews mentioned above. Through pilot test, preliminary 66 items are selected. In phase 3 of the study, 597 cases collected from the survey were divided randomly into 345 developmental samples and 252 validity samples. The items were examined exploratorily with the developmental samples and confirmatorily factor analysis with validity samples. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the hypothesized six-factor structure of KESAS, which finally resulted in consisting of 31 items. Six factors are as follows: 'autonomous life', 'self-completion orientation', 'positive life participation', 'satisfaction with one's offsprings', 'self-acceptance', 'other-acceptance'. Cronbach's alpha estimate and split-half estimates of the scale were .903 and .845, which confirms that the scale has reliability. This six-factor model exhibited a good fit on the basis of the overall fit measure criteria(TLI=.983, RMSEA=.057) aquired by using the confirmatory factor analysis. Moreover, KESAS was significantly related highly(r=.72) to the 'Quality of Life for the Korean Elderly'. This proved concurrent validity of the scale.
