Unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the wing with flaperon flying over nonplanar ground surface are investigated using a boundary-element method. The time-stepping method is used to simulate the wake shape according to the motion of the wing and flaperon over the surface or in the channel. The aerodynamic coefficient according to the periodic motion of the flaperon is shown as the shape of loop. The rolling moment coefficient of the wing flying in the channel is same as that of the wing flying over the ground surface. The variation range of pitching moment is wider when the wing flies in the channel than over the ground surface. The present method can provide various aerodynamic derivatives to secure the stability of superhigh speed vehicle flying over nonplanar ground surface using the present method.

Although phonocardiography by auscultation has been used in diagnosis long time ago, recognition of heart sound was tried only restricted fields such as the first heart sound, the second heart sound, and specific valve operation for the purpose of analyzing local function or operation of heart and developments of heart sound recognition in full cycle are quite insignificant. in this paper, we proposed a recognition method which extracts features of heart sound in full cycle and classllies heart sounds This proposed recognition algorithm is based on detecting the first and second heart sounds in thme domain. The algorithm classifics heart sound into several classes by extracting the important time blocks and analyzing the peak position, integration values and statistical variables. Heart sounds are classified into normal, early systolic murmur, late systolic mumur, early diastolic murmur, late diastolie murmur, continuous murmur. We can verify our algorithm is useful from the results which show the average recognition rate of heart sounds is 88 perecnt. Recognition error was occurred mainly in early systolic murmur.

Nonlinear aeroelastic analyses of a missile control fin are performed considering backlash and dynamic stiffness of actuator. Doublet-Hybrid method is used for the calculation of subsonic unsteady aerodynamic forces, and aerodynamic forces are approximated by the minimum-state approximation. For nonlinear flutter analysis backlash is represented by a free-play and is linearized by using the describing function method. Also, dynamic stiffness is function of frequency and is calculated by solving equation of motion for actuator. The linear and nonlinear flutter analyses show that the aeroelastic characteristics are significantly dependent on the backlash and dynamic stiffness. From the nonlinear flutter analysis, various types of limit cycle oscillations are observed in a range of air speeds below the linear divergent flutter boundary. The nonlinear flutter characteristics and the nonlinear aeroelastic responses are also investigated in the time domain.

왕복식엔진에서 연소과정은 실린더내 유체유동에 지배되므로 최적조건의 엔진설계를 위해서는 실린더내 유체유동을 효과적으로 이용하는 것이 필요하다. 연소과정에 중요한 영향을 미치는 압축말기 연소실내 난류강도는 흡입과정시 생성된 유동의 에너지가 압축과정을 거치면서 작은 스케일의 에디(eddy)로 깨지면서 발생된다. 연소과정시 이러한 에디들은 초기화염생성을 촉진 시키고 화염전파속도를 증진시키는 역할을 함으로써 실린더내 유체유동에 대한 이해증진을위해 실린더내 평균속도 및 난류유동을 측정하는 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 엔진유동은 매사이 클의 유동이 엄밀히 주기적인 운동을 하지 않고, 각 사이클의 유동이 비정상유동을 하며, 유동의 생성 및 소멸이 매우 짧은 특성을 가진다. 따라서 산란입자가 측정체적을 통과할 때 속도데이 터가 발생하는 LDV(laser Doppler velocimetry) 측정에 있어서 레이저빔의 산란광노이즈 감소와 산란입자의 효율적인 공급으로 데이터 발생률을 높이는 것이 어려운 점이다. 이 글에서는 엔진 유동의 LDV측정시 고려해야 할 문제점들, 실험장치구성, 그리고 데이터처리 방법과 주요측정 결과에 대해 본 연구팀에서 지금까지 수행한 연구결과를 토대로 하여 기술하고자 한다.

Unsteady aerodynamic force measurements were carried out in order to investigate the effects of phase difference of a dragonfly-type model with two pairs of wing. A load-cell was employed to measure the aerodynamic force generated by a plunging motion of the dragonfly-type model. The dragonfly-type model has a dynamic similarity with real one, and incidence angles of fore- and hind-wing are 0° and 10°, respectively. Other experimental conditions are as follows: The freestream velocity was 1.6 m/sec and corresponding chord Reynolds number was 2.88×103, and phase differences of fore- and hind-wing were 0°, 90°, 180° and 270°. The variation of aerodynamic coefficients during one cycle of the wing motion is presented. Results show that the lift is generated during the downstroke motion and the drag generated during the hind-wing‘s downstroke motion with the lift generation.

A review has been made on what kind of method can be applied to predict the dynamic derivatives of the separated PLF(Payload Fairing) halves of a launch vehicle in consideration of technology and budget. An optimal approach is selected considering the geometric characteristics of the PLF halves, the aerodynamic conditions and the required accuracy. The time history of aerodynamic force/moment coefficients are obtained for the forced harmonic motions by solving the unsteady Euler equations derived with respect to the inertial reference frame. and the dynamic derivatives are deduced by integration of the aerodynamic coefficients for one period. In this research, the dynamic derivatives are presented for 0.6$\leq$ M $\leq$2.0, $-180^{\circ}$ $\leq$$\alpha$ $\leq$$180^{\circ}$ and $-90 ^{\circ}$$\leq$$\beta$$\leq$$90 ^{\circ}$.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of a participatory rehabilitation program on sit-rise and rise-to-walk test performances, and perception and motor skills in adults with medically vulnerable individuals and, adults with developmental disabilities in particular. Seventeen adults with developmental disabilities participated in a participatory rehabilitation program using resistance bands and exercise balls, for 60 minutes once weekly over 13 weeks. Their performances were measured before and immediately after the intervention, and 12 weeks after. The findings were as follows. In the sit-rise test, the number of times rising from sitting posture increased after the intervention versus before, but the difference was not statistically significant. In the rise-to-walk test, the performance showed statistically significant difference over time, and the post-hoc test showed a significant effect after the intervention versus before. There was no significant difference in perception and motor skills. In sum, the participatory rehabilitation program positively influenced dynamic balancing related to functional activities but had no significant effect on perception and motor skills, which is related to motor control and motor learning. It is suggested that to increase the participation in community activities, reduce fall risk, and improve dynamic balancing abilities in adults with developmental disabilities, participatory rehabilitation programs should be utilized to promote the physical wellbeing.

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS) could be one of risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between PLMS and blood pressure changes during sleep. Methods: We analyzed data from 358 adults (176 men and 182 women) aged 18 years and older who were free from sleep apnea syndrome (Respiratory Disturbance Index < 5) and sleep disorders such as REM sleep behavior disorder or narcolepsy. Demographic characteristics, polysomnography records, and clinical variable data including blood pressure, body mass index, alcohol, smoking, and current medications were collected. In addition, self-report questionnaires including the Beck Depression Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were completed. Blood pressure change from bedtime to awakening was compared between the two periodic limb movement index (PLMI) groups [low PLMI ($PLMI{\leq}15$) and high PLMI (PLMI > 15)]. Blood pressure change patterns were compared using repeated measures analysis of variance. Results: Systolic blood pressure in the high PLMI group was lower than that in the low PLMI group (p = 0.036). These results were also significant when adjusted for gender and age, but were not statistically significant when adjusted for BMI, alcohol, smoking, anti-hypertension medication use and sleep efficiency (p = 0.098). Systolic blood pressure dropped by 9.7 mm Hg in the low PLMI group, and systolic blood pressure in the high PLMI group dropped by 2.9 mm Hg. There was a significant difference in delta systolic blood pressure after sleep between the two groups in women when adjusted for age, BMI, alcohol, smoking, antihypertensive medication use and sleep efficiency (p = 0.023). Conclusion: PLMS was significantly associated with a decreasing pattern in nocturnal BP during sleep, and this association remained significant in women when adjusted for age, BMI, alcohol, smoking, antihypertension medication use and sleep efficiency related to blood pressure. We suggest that PLMS may be associated with cardiovascular morbidity.

Objectives : High co-morbidity of periodic limb movements during sleep(PLMS) and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS) is well known and their incidences tend to increase in the elderly. Previous studies have inconsistently rep0l1ed increase or no change of periodic limb movement index(PLMI) by nasal continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) in OSAS without analyzing possible variables affecting PLMI. We attempted to examine PLMI change evoked during CPAP titration and also factors affecting it in OSAS. Methods : Twenty-nine OSAS patients(M:F=26:3, mean age: $51.6{\pm}10.6\;yrs$) without other sleep disorders except for PLMS were selected, based on the nocturnal (baseline) polysomnograhy. Another night of noctumal polysomnography was performed for CPAP pressure titration. We compared between those two nights PLMI, mean and lowest $SaO_2$, and sleep variables. We also calculated PLMI differences between baseline and CPAP nights, named as delta PLMI (value of CPAP night PLMI minus value of baseline night PLMI). Correlations were calculated between delta PLMI and factors such as age, body mass index, applied CPAP pressure, baseline night values of respiratory disturbance index, mean and lowest $SaO_2$, and sleep parameter differences between baseline and CPAP nights. Results : Decrease of RDI(p<.01) and increase in mean and lowest $SaO_2$ (p<.05, p<.01) were observed during CPAP night. No sleep parameters showed significant change except for the decrease of total stage 1 sleep%(p<.01) during CPAP night. Ten out of 29 patients showed PLMI increase, while the other 19 patients showed either no change(n=14) or even PLMI decrease(n=5) during CPAP night. The 10 patients showing PLMI increase during CPAP night showed a significant positive correlation between delta PLMI and baseline night RDI(p<.05), which meant that PLMI increase was found to be more prominent in higher RDI patients than in lower RDI ones. There were no significant correlations between delta PLMI and other factors in the other 19 patients. Conclusions : We suggest that during the baseline night PLMS would have been underscored and/or masked due to the overlapping of PLMS and apneas/hypopneas or the arousals induced by apneas/hypopneas. Despite its still unknown mechanism, the CPAP application may unmask PLMS and increase PLMI in a subgroup of OSAS patients. It needs to be evaluated further whether the chronic CPAP use sustains the above finding.

교류임피던스 측정기법을 이용하여 전기화학적으로 외부환경에서 소재 금속까지 물질 및 전하이동에 관한 임피던스 측정이 가능하며 도막의 부식 및 노화정도 및 내식성의 평가가 가능하여 산업체에서 널리 이용되고 있다. RPCS(Remote Plasma Cleaning Source)는 패널 및 반도체 제조공정에서 CVD 증착공정 후 챔버 내부에 입혀지는 Si(실리콘)을 화학적으로 세정하기 위한 F(불소) Radical을 공급하는 원격 고밀도 플라즈마를 발생시키는 제품이다. RPCS의 바디는 알루미늄을 사용하고 절연 및 플라즈마에 대한 내구성을 확보하기 위해 아노다이징 코팅을 한다. 반응기 내벽의 표면이 공정 플라즈마에 노출될 때 소재는 화학적으로 매우 활성이 높은 라디칼과의 반응뿐만 아니라 이온의 충격을 동시에 받게 되며 이 과정에서 다량의 불소 (Fluorine) 라디칼과 전계에 반응한 이온의 운동에 노출되면서 아노다이징 코팅이 손상되는데 이는 기기의 수명 단축 및 파티클을 발생시키며, Arc의 원인이 되기도 한다. 실제 사용 환경에서는 기기의 분해 없이 아노다이징의 상태를 주기적으로 모니터링 하기가 대단히 어려워, 정기적으로 교체하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 RPCS내 발생된 플라즈마 현상을 컨덕터로 활용하여 고주파 리액턴스를 임피던스로 환산하여 아노다이징 코팅의 손상 정도를 진단 및 모니터링하였다. 아노다이징이 손상된 내부 블럭과 정상상태인 내부 블럭의 임피던스를 비교하였고, 아노다이징 두께별 임피던스를 측정하였다. 그 결과 아노다이징 절연막이 손상된 블록의 임피던스가 정상 블록에 비해 낮았으며 두께별 임피던스도 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 향후에는 장기간 현장에서 축척되어진 시험데이터를 바탕으로 아노다이징 코팅의 수명예측진단 시스템을 구축하고자 한다.
