Usability has become an important consideration for product development, and as a result, there is a growing need for systems and tools that can support usability test projects. However, few studies so far have developed such systems and tools. During a usability test project, many participants take up different roles, such as project managers, usability testers, and subjects. We implement a web-based usability test system with which a project manager can manage and control all participants and documents throughout the entire usability test process, from the design of a usability test project to the analysis of the test results. A usability test generates many documents, such as subject agreement forms and before/after questionnaires. Since many different subjects can participate in a usability test, consistency during testing with different participants and efficient document management are the keys to success for a usability test. Since all users that participate in usability test projects can access web-based usability test systems through a web browser, regardless of the place where they are, the reliability of the testing results can improve since the tests are conducted in the locations where the target products are meant to be used. In particular, our system is useful for disabled individuals who cannot move.

본 연구에서는 기설구조물에 대한 손상도 추정기법과 내진능력평가 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 구조물의 손상도를 추정하는 방법으로는 소수의 계측 데이터를 이용한 모드섭동법(inverse modal perturbation)을 이용하였다. 구조물의 손상은 강성행렬의 감소로 표현하여, 각 요소행렬에 대한 손상을 손상지수를 사용하여 나타내었다. 구조적 손상과 이에 기인한 고유진동 특성의 변화량과의 관계를 섭동방정식으로부터 구한 후, 이로부터 손상지수와 고유진동 특성의 변화량과의 관계를 유동하였다. 따라서 손상 전과 후에서 구조물의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 측정하여 섭동식의 해를 구함으로써 구조물의 강성행렬의 감소로 나타나는 구조물의 손상도를 추정하게 된다. 손상도 추정에 의해 평가된 강성의 변화량에 기인한 손상 후의 기설구조물의 지진응답, 내진능력과 지진손상도의 평가를 손상전과 비교하였다. 내진능력은 구조부재에서 회전연성도 능력의 경험식을 이용하여 평가하였고, 지진손상도의 평가는 가장 많이 사용되는 방법인 Park & Ang 방법을 사용하였다. 예제해석은 다른 지진하중을 받는 2층과 8층의 예제구조물에 대해서 수행하였다.

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the hygienic status of university foodservice operation by using conventional swabbing technique plus standard plate count and ATP bioluminescence assay. The results of the study were as follows: 1) For all kitchen boards, knives, feeding trays, and dish towels tested, there was an overall agreement at 84.7% level between the results obtained using ATP bioluminescence and plate count when using a pass/fail cut-off of 3$\times$ control values for ATP assay and 40 CFU(colony forming unit)/㎠ for plate count. 2) The agrement rate between ATP assay and standard plate count was 87.5% for the samples before use, 29.2% for those during use, and 42.7% for those after cleaning and sanitizing. 3) The plate counts of three university foodservice operations for kitchen board, kitchen knife, feeding tray and dish towel were within the acceptable limits when tested before using. However, none of them were within the acceptable limits when tested during using and after cleaning and sanitizing. 4) Above results suggested that an immediate action needs to be taken to reduce the potential danger of cross-contamination and also effective sanitary control methods needs to be developed to improve the sanitary condition.

전 세계적으로 자연재난으로 인한 경제적 손실과 인명 피해가 증가하고 있는 추세이며, 방재 선진국의 경우 자연재난의 피해를 저감시키기 위해 재난 손실 평가 시스템을 활용한 방재 대책을 모색하고 있다. 재난 손실 평가 시스템은 컴퓨터 및 지리정보시스템(GIS) 등을 기반으로 기존의 손실 평가 과정을 전산 시스템화 한 것으로, 재난발생 전과 후에 체계적인 절차에 따라 손실을 평가함으로써 방재대책을 실현하는데 큰 도움이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미국의 재난 손실 평가 시스템인 Hazus-MH(Hazards U.S. Multi-Hazard)를 이용하여 국내 홍수피해 사례를 모의하고, 손실 평가를 수행한 결과와 실제 재난으로 인한 피해를 비교 및 분석 하였다. 또한, 국내 재난 관련 데이터베이스를 Hazus-MH에 사용함으로써 국내 적용 방안 및 한계점을 소개하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 대표적인 방재선진국인 미국의 재난 손실 평가 시스템을 국내에 적용해보고, 국내 재난 손실 평가 시스템 구축을 위한 기초자료로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Failure mechanisms for a highly filled elastomer were discussed, and the stip-yield and the inherent flaw models were applied to them. Then, failure assessment diagram methods were investigated by means of modified two models. Fracture toughness tests using CCT(center-cracked tension) specimens made of a highly filled elastomer were conducted to generate the failure assessment diagrams. The failure assessment diagram of the inherent flaw model was normalized in order to compare with that of the modified strip-yield model. From the comparison of two failure assessment diagrams, it was found that the failure assessment diagram of the modified inherent flaw model more conservatively assesses the failure than that of the modified strip-yield model.

An improved transition density propagation method for power estimation is proposed. The power estimation for the zero delay model is a proper criteria for the.lower boutldlIry for power consumption. A transition propagation method, including the zero delay model as a lower boundary for power stimation was studied. However, there were some redundancy factors in the process of transition density propagation. Hence this paper will explore the transition density propagation behavior to eliminate the redundancy factors and present theirriprQved estimation methodology for the signal transition density. The experiments show that the proposed method has comparably better estimation accuracy than the conventional methods.

Electronic Warfare (EW) is the mission area responsible to establish and maintain a favorable position in the electromagnetic domain. Testing and Evaluation of EW devices on modern military aircraft to pursue this critical mission area require the use of a wide range of techniques and analytical methods to assure users of the readiness of EW system to meet the challenge of a combat environment. This paper is intended as an introductory text dedicated to EW systems (especially RWR, CMDS) test and evaluation techniques and will serve experienced engineers and program managers, as well as novice engineers, as a concise reference for EW systems' test and evaluation processes and testing resources.

This study evaluated the overturning stability of portable tripod ladders used for high-altitude work such as tree management and pruning work in landscaping construction and management. Portable tripod ladders, which are included in general mobile or portable ladders frequently used in industrial sites, are supported in a triangular support structure, not a 4-point support like common A-type Ladders. In addition, since the working height is more than twice that of a mobile or portable ladder, the possibility of an overturning accident that threatens the safety of workers with a fall accident is high. Therefore, based on the overturning stability test specified in ANSI-ASC A14.7 and EN 131-Part 7, which are related standards for about 130 types of portable tripod ladders sold and used in Korea. An equation to calculate each moment according to working height was derived. Then, each calculated moment was compared to evaluate the safety factor for overturning and stability. As a result of the overturning stability evaluation according to each standard, when the provisions of EN 131-Part 7 were applied, portable tripod ladders with 8 steps in the rear direction and 6 steps or more in the side direction were evaluated as unstable against overturning, but according to ANSI-ASC A14.7 regulations. It was evaluated that the stability against overturning was secured in all directions and number of steps.

The field application of acoustic emission(AE) testing for brand-new metal pressure vessel were performed. We will introduce the test procedure for acoustic emission test such as instrument check distance between sensors, sensor location, whole system calibration, pressurization sequence, noise reduction and evaluation. The data of acoustic emission test contain many noise signal, these noise can be reduced by time filtering which based on the description of observation during AE test.

미래의 '정보전장'에서는 모든 전투 개체가 실시간 정보를 공유하면서 작전을 수행하게 되며, 병사 또한 하나의 체계로 임무를 수행하기 위해 각종 디지털 디바이스가 내장된 스마트 전투복을 입게 될 것으로 생각된다. 선진국들은 여러 해 전부터 스마트 전투복을 개발하고자 하는 노력을 기울여 왔으며, 우리나라에서도 이에 동참하고 있다. 그러나, 각종 병사 구성품과 디지털 디바이스를 의복 내에 포함시켜 설계함에 있어서 병사의 동작과 체형에 적합한 설계안을 도출하기 위하여 프로토타입을 착용한 후 그 사용성을 평가할 필요성이 대두되었다. 본 연구는 미래병사의 전투력 향상을 위해 각종 디지털 디바이스를 내장한 스마트 전투복의 사용성을 평가하는 기술을 개발하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 선행연구에서 개발된 스마트의류의 사용성평가 척도를 이용하여 디지털 디바이스 내장형 전투복 프로토타입의 사용하여 사용성평가의 척도를 새롭게 개발하고 스마트 전투복의 사용성 평가 척도와 기술을 개발하였다.
