This paper introduces a measurement system for mechanical properties of sport shoes using an industrial robot. The robot system used in this paper is a commercial Puma type robot system(FARA AT2 made by SAMSUNG Electronics) with 6 joints and the end-effector is modified to produce a human walking motion. After analyzing human walking with a high speed video camera, each joint angle of the robot system is extracted to be used in the robot system. By using this system, ground impact forces were measured during stepping motion with 3 different shoe specimens made of 3 different hardness outsoles, respectively. As other mechanical properties, both bending moments to bend the toe part of the same specimen shoes and pronation quantities during walking motion were measured as well. In the impact test with the same depth of deformation under the ground level, the effect of the outsole hardness was clearly appeared such that the harder outsole produces the higher ground reaction force. The bending test and the pronation test also show proportional increments in the bending stiffness and the moment Mx according to the outsole hardness. Throughout such experiments, the robot system has produced consistent results so that the system could be used in obtaining valuable informations for a shoe designing process.

This paper focused on square steel tubular column to H-beam connections (concrete filled tubular) with an outside-type diaphragm. Based on the yield line theory and the nonlinear static FEM analysis the specification equations were evaluated by comparing them with previous result of the simplified tensile experiment[please check. The yield line theory applied to the mechanical model theory revised by K. Morita, the nonlinear static FEM analysis using abaqus/standard, the ultimate strength equation in the specification equation using the factor for long-time loading, and the yield ratio according to material. The allowable strength in the specification equations applied the safety factors of 2.2 and 2.6 in the cases with and without filled concrete, respectively. Therefore, the evaluation of strength(for the previous result of the simplified tensile experiment in this study) was considered possible through the yield line theory, the nonlinear static FEM analysis, and the specification equations. Likewise, the specification equations were seen to be an underestimate of the previous result of the simplified tensile experiment. The strength and displaced mesh in the FEM analysis approximated the previous result of the simplified tensile experiment.

Since railway bridge frequently have a chance of passing train load close to design load, it is necessary to reflect sufficiently fatigue property in early design phase for many structural details. Nevertheless fatigue cracks are reported partly in deck plate girder of railway steel bridge because of the weight and arrangement of axial load acting on railway bridge, the application of improper structural details for fatigue problem etc.. One of main cause for fatigue crack at the welded part of upper flange and web is caused by the eccentricity action of train load due to the difference of center to center spacing between the main girder supporting sleeper and the rail acting train load. For the existing deck plate girder of railway steel bridge, in this study, field survey, field measurement and a series of structural analysis were performed. In addition, the characteristics of structural behavior, the causes and repair/ retrofit of fatigue crack were examined in the target bridge.

Background: Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a rare form of congenital cardiac anomaly involving ascending aorta distal to coronary orifice. Materials and methods: We operated 12 cases of supravalvular aortic stenosis between July 1986 and March 1997. Age ranged from 4 to 17(mean 10.2) years and 11 of them were male. Nine patients had clinical features of Williams syndrome. We experienced two types of supravalvular aortic stenosis, including 10 hour glass type and 2 diffuse type. Results: Preoperative transaortic pressure gradient ranged from 40 to 180(mean 92) mmHg by cardiac catheterization. Pulmonary stenosis was associated in 5 and 2 of them required angioplasty. Operative techniques included 6 standard aortoplasty with elliptical patch, 4 extended aortoplasty with inverted Y shaped patch, and 2 modified Brom's repair. There were no operative deaths. Postoperative echocardiographic evaluation was done at a mean interval of 12 months. Grade I or II aortic regurgitation was found in 3 cases. Postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed a mean transaortic pressure gradient of 26 (range 0 to 75) mmHg. A mean pressure drop was 78(range 30 to 114) mmHg. All patients were followed up for a mean of 40(range 1 to 67) months with uneventful clinical course. Conclusions: Our data proved the low mortality and excellent hemodynamic improvement after surgical relief of supravalvular aortic stenosis in children.

현재의 정보시스템이 하드웨어의 발전에 비해 늦어진 이유는 개발 단계별로 상호 일관성이 결여된 방법론을 사용하고 있고 이 방법론들이 실제의 비즈니스 프로세스(Business Process)와는 차이가 있는 형태로 구현이 되기 때문이다. 또한, 이런 방법론들이 분산조직에 사용된다면 비즈니스 프로세스가 세분화되기 때문에 문제점들이 더 깊이 심화되는 경향이 발생하게 된다. 이런 상황에 대한 해결책은 정보시스템이 비즈니스 프로세스로부터 구체적인 정보시스템의 구현에 이르기까지 일관성 있게 진행할 수 있는 방법론이 필요하다. 그러므로, 정보시스템 구현의 각 단계별로 추상과 구현방법을 구체적으로 제시하고 개념적인 무결성을 보장할수 있는 새로운 정보시스템 개발방법이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 정보시스템을 구현하기 위해서 업무분석의 과정에서부터 구현에 이르기까지 개념적인 무결성(Conceptual Integrity)을 유지하고(Brooks, 1982) 방법론상에서 중단이나 변형없이 연결되는 시스템 개발방법론인 컴퓨터 통합 비즈니스 시스템(Computer-Integrated Business System:CIBS)을 소개하고 이 CIBS가 사용하는 세부적인 객체지향 프로그래밍 방법론이 AF(Application Framework)을 설명하며, 최종적으로 이 CIBS에 의해서 구현된 정보시스템과 기존의 프로그래밍 기법으로 구현된 정보시스템과의 비교를 통해 그 장단점을 증명하고자 한다. 또한, 이 CIBS구조는 정보시스템의 단편적인 정보제공 능력을 넘어서서 비즈니스 프로세스를 개선함에 의해서 기업의 노하우를 정립하고 이를 발전시키는 정보시스템의 진보된 형태를 보여줌으로서 정보시스템의 새로운 모습과 비젼을 제시하며 혁신적인 정보시스템의 새로운 구조를 보여준다. 문제점들은 HED (Human Engineerign Discrepance) 목록으로 정리하여 설계에 반영하도록 하였다.로 마음의 안정감, 몸의 긴장 이완에 따른 건강 상태 유지, 수업 집중도 향상 등이 나타났다. 위와 같은 종합 적 분석 결과에 따라, 본 연구는 제조 현장의 생산성 향상 및 품질 향상과 연계하여 작업자의 작업 집중도 향상, 작업자의 육체적, 심리적 변화에 따른 생산성 및 품질 향상 변화 정도 등의 산업공학(인간공학) 제 분야의 여러 측면에서 연구 및 적용이 가능하리라 사료된다.l, 시험군:25.90$\pm$7.16mg/d1, 47% 감소)를 나타내었으며, 시험군의 AUC는 대조군에 비해 39% 감소하였고, 혈중 아세트알데히드의 농도는 투여 60분후 시험군(3.96$\pm$0.07nmo1/$m\ell$)이 대조군(6.45$\pm$0,64nmo1/$m\ell$)에 비해 유의성 있는 감소(39%)를 나타내었으며, 시험군의 AUC는 대조군에 비해 48% 감소하였다 한편, 시험관내 에탄올 대사 효소에 대한 바이오짐의 효과를 검색해본 결과 바이오짐(2.0 $\mu\textrm{g}$/assay)에 의해 Aldehyde dehydrogenase(1.5unit/assay)의 활성이 14% 증가되었다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때, 비지니스 및 바이오짐은 음주 후 상승된 혈중 에탄을 농도 및 아세트알데히드의 농도를 현저히 감소시키는 효과가 있었다.량 보호 관리, 도시 소공원 개발, 역사 문화 공원 조성, 하천 공간 복원, 공원 시설 기능 개선, 이용 프로그램 개발, 공원 관리 개선, 환경 피해 녹지의 회복, 도시 환경 림 조성, 녹지 기능

Purpose: To evaluate the results of percutaneous lateral release and arthroscopic medial plication for patients with recurrent patella dislocation. Materials and Methods: This study includes the thirty-one cases of patients who have had a surgical operation from March 2001 to March 2008. All the patients had recurrent patella dislocation after trauma history. The average age was 24.2 years old and the average follow up was 47.4 months (minimum 24 months). Results: The preoperative congruence angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Lysholm score was $24.8^{\circ}$, $-6.2^{\circ}$, 75 points on average respectively. However, the postoperative congruence angle, lateral patellofemoral angle, Lysholm score was improved to normal range: $-2.8^{\circ}$, $10.2^{\circ}$, 95 points on average. Five cases showed the recurrent dislocation after operation. Among them, three cases showed femoral trochlear dysplasia. Conclusion: Percutaneous lateral release and arthroscopic medial plication showed satisfactory results for recurrent patella dislocation with low complication rate. However, in cases with femoral trochlear dysplasia, another surgical treatment may be considered.

This study was perfonned to investigate the possible effect of Bacillus subtilis which is the predominant species of bacteria in Korean soy sauce, soy paste, and Meju (soybean cake) on the growth and aflatoxin production of Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 15517. The microorganisms were grown in a modified APT broth and incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. Aflatoxins were determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). A remarkable inhibition of the growth of Aspergillus parasiticus was observed during the incubation period when in the presence of B. subtilis (mixed culture). Dry mycelial weight in the mixed culture was significantly reduced by 85.3% in comparison to the control at the end of the incubation period (p<0.01). Lower levels of aflatoxins were found in the mixed culture than in the monoculture. At the end of the incubation period aflatoxin production was significantly inhibited by more than 50% (p<0.05). These results indicate that B. subtilis mainly inhibites the growth and aflatoxin production of toxigenic Aspergillus in Meju, soy sauce and soy paste. Although its effect on aflatoxin production was less pronounced, we could expect more inhibition by another bacteria related with fermentation in Meju.

The incorporation of activity in plasma lipid was determined after injection of $u-C^{14}-glucose$ to normal laying hen. The extraction of total lipid from plasma was carried out by the method of Floch et al. with some modifications. The counting of carbon-14 activity was conducted by a Beckman Liquid Scintillation System, The concentration of plasma lipid was estimated as much as 3,070mg per 100ml of plasma taken at 5 minutes after injection of tracer amount of $u-C^{14}-glucose$. The specific activity per gram of plasma lipid carbon atom per injected dose per kg body weight increased gradually following the time after injection until 120 minutes, whereas the glucose activity decreased logarithmically. The partial incorporation quotient of activity in plasma lipid from that of glucose was 0.73% until 120 minutes after the injection.

In this paper, we present, an indstrial RFID layered microstrip patch antenna is designed using an inset feed method in order to improve recognition rates in a long distance as tags are attached to metal object by improving a problem of feeding power in fabricating metal tags and reducing effects of metallic object. The inset feed shows a distinctive characteristic that has no separation between emitters and feed lines differing from a structure with the conventional inductive coupling feed. This structure makes possible to produce a type that presents a low antenna height and enables impedance coupling for tag chips. Although it shows a difficulty in the impedance coupling due to increases in the parasite capacitance between a ground plane and an emitter in an antenna according to decreases in the height of a tag antenna, it may become a merit in designing the tag antenna because the antenna impedance can be determined as an inductive manner if a shorted structure is used for feeding power. Therefore, in this paper the microstrip patch antenna is designed as a modified type and applies the inset feed in order to reduce effects of metallic objects where the antenna is be attached. Also, the antenna uses a multi-layer structure that includes a metal plate between radiator and ground instead of using a single layer.

Twenty seven species of pufferfishes (family Tetraodontidae) have been examined to find their generic characters based on olfactory organ, lateral line system, prickles, body form and color characters of specimens collected in 20 places along the coast of Korea from September, 1989 to July, 1994. Based on nostril shape, the genera of Takifugu, Lagocephalus, Plurancanthus, Spheoides and Feroxodon have two nostrils, and those of Ephippion and Canthigaster have a single nostril or nasal tentacle, while Boesernanichthys, Arothron and Chelonodon have no nostril. In the genera of Lagocephalus, Spheoides, Boesemanichthys, Arothron and Feroxodon have only a single well-developed lateral line on the body, in those of Takifugu and Plurancanthus usually have two lateral lines, and those of Chelonodon and Ephippion have two lateral lines merged on the caudal peduncle. Based on the lateral line system and olfactory organ, genus Canthigaster has different characters from the other genera of the family Tetraodontidae. In Ephippion guttifer, the prickles on the dorsal and lateral of the body are enormously enlarged into plates forming a partial carapace. Of the 22 species which have prickly spines, the genera, Lagocephalus, Takifugu stictonotus and Arothron Stellatus have the larger ventral pricklyy spines than the dorsal ones. In genera Lagocephalus most of the species have prickly spines that coverd both the back and belly, while L. inermis has no prickly spines.
