In order to reduce the size of the previous stepped slot antenna for UWB applications(3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) to half, an open ended stepped slot antenna is proposed. The proposed antenna consists of a stepped slot etched on the ground plane as radiation part and a microstrip feed-line with rectangular patch on the top plane for wideband impedance matching. The proposed antenna is designed and fabricated on the FR4 substrate with dielectric constant of 4.3, thickness of 1.6 mm and size of $28.5{\times}32mm^2$. The measured impedance bandwidth (${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}{\leq}-10dB$) of the fabricated antenna is 7.99 GHz(3.01~11 GHz) which is sufficient to cover UWB band (3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz). In particular, it has been observed that antenna has a good omnidirectional radiation patterns and high gain over the entire frequency band of interest even though the size of the proposed antenna is reduced to half when compared with the previous antenna.

재래식 간척 및 매립은 연안 간사지를 소멸시켜 수생생물의 산란 및 서식지를 훼손시킴으로써 해양 생태계를 파괴시킬 뿐 아니라 연안역 해수의 자정능력을 감소시켜 수질의 악화를 초래하고 있다(Y, Hosokawa, 1992). 따라서 향후 간척, 매립을 하거나 호안을 축조할 때에는 외해측에 수심이 얕고 경사가 완만한 해저 환경을 새롭게 조성함으로써 수질 및 해양 생태계를 보전하는 환경 친화적 연안개발 공법의 도입이 요망된다. (중략)

Separate transportation card readers that record the amount of transfer volume occurring during movement in-between lines within the metropolitan railway transfer stations do not exist. This research proposes a model to estimate passenger transit movements in transfer stations that adequately reproduces characteristics arising during a transfer trip. The model used in this study assumes that passengers adopt transfer behaviors that minimize their generalized costs during transfer trips. Further, two measures are sought in order to reflect attributes of the metropolitan railway. The first is that similar paths connect origin and destination stations. For this, the M-Similar Paths method is applied to the model to identify the similar paths that arise. The second is that passengers perceive increasing number of transfers as additional transfer costs, which is reflected by means of the Stepwise Transfer Coefficient. Two case studies of metropolitan railway are used to propose measures for analysis of transfer trips. Twenty directional transit phenomena are reproduced for Sindorim railway station. Aggregate directional transit(A), aggregate inter-line transit(B), and B/A are calculated on a percentage basis for 33 metropolitan railway transfer stations, and using this, the functional role of transfers is explored.

In this paper, we propose a novel wide band printed monopole antenna called the staircase bow-tie monopole antenna (SBMA). We apply an extraordinary method for an impedance matching to conventional bow-tie monopoles. So we get the SBMA with a very wide band. Our antenna is smaller than a quarter wavelength in size but provides a 2:1 VSWR bandwidth of about 77.1 %. An antenna gain and a radiation pattern are about 1.7 dBi and omni-directional at 1.7 GHz, respectively.

PCS를 비롯하여 WLAN, DMB, W-CDMA, UWB 등의 무선통신 서비스가 증가함에 따라 안테나 동작 대역폭의 광대역화가 더욱 요구된다. 1/4 파장 선형 모노폴 안테나는 구조가 간단하고 전방향성을 갖는 복사특성으로 인하여 가장 널리 사용되는 안테나 중의 하나이다. 모노폴 안테나의 광대역화를 위해서 일반적으로 원통의 직경을 증가시키는 방법을 사용하지만, 평면 모노폴에 적용된 스텝 기법을 적용하여 광대역 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 스텝 모노폴 자체는 광대역 특성을 나타내지 않으며, 접지면에서도 일정 형태의 스텝 돌출부위가 필요하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 그라운드면의 볼록 계단 구조가 모노폴 안테나의 대역 특성에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 최적의 안테나 급전구조를 도출하고자 한다. 결과의 검증을 위해서 소프트웨어 시물레이션 및 측정결과를 제시한다.

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images can be generated by radar which radiates the electromagnetic wave to a target and receives signal reflected from the target. ISAR images can be widely used to target detection and recognition. This paper proposed a method of generation of high resolution ISAR images by synthesizing frequency spectrums of each stepped chirp waveform in one burst and sub-sampling in frequency domain. This process is performed over entire bursts during coherent processing interval. Conventional ISAR image generation method using stepped frequency waveform has a severe problem of short unambiguous range, loading to ghost phenomenon. However, this problem can be resolved by the proposed method. In simulations, we generate high resolution ISAR image of the moving target which is Boeing-737 aircraft model composed of several ideal point scatterers.

2020년은 장마와 태풍으로 인해 중부 및 남부지방에 폭우가 발생하여 강남역을 비롯한 지하철 역사와 지하 주차장 등 많은 지하시설이 침수되었고, 부산에서는 침수된 지하차도에 진입한 차량의 운전자가 사망하는 등의 사고가 발생하였다. 지하에 설치된 시설들은 침수가 발생할 경우 대부분 출입구를 통해 유입되는 물을 거슬러 대피해야 하므로 낙상과 그로 인한 익사 등 자칫 큰 인명피해를 초래할 수 있어 특별히 주의할 필요가 있다. 대피 여부를 결정하고 그에 필요한 시간을 계산하기 위해서는 안전하게 대피 가능한 최대수심(한계수심)을 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 현재 한계수심을 제시한 여러 연구가 있지만 대부분 소수의 성인만을 대상으로 한 실험 결과이기 때문에 성별, 연령, 체중 등 다양한 유형의 사람을 고려한 대피방법 제시가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 실험 참가자의 유형(성별, 연령, 체중, 신장)에 따른 대피시간의 차이를 고려한 한계수심을 제시할 수 있도록 하였다. 총 308명이 실험에 참여하였으며, 이중 남성은 164명, 여성은 144명이었다. 참가자의 연령은 14세부터 75세까지이며, 신장은 최소 145cm에서 최대 187cm, 체중은 35kgf에서 110kgf 범위이다. 대피시간은 물이 흘러 내려오는 5.1m 길이의 계단을, 난간을 잡은 채 거슬러 올라가는 시간으로 설정하였으며, 계단 상층부의 수심이 30cm일 때와 40cm일 때(한계수심 조건), 2회 측정하였다. 또한, 측정이 종료된 후, '안전하게 대피 가능할 것으로 예상되는 수심'을 선택하도록 하여 참가자가 체감한 실험 난이도를 간접적으로 확인하고 향후 연구에 활용할 수 있도록 하였다. 수집된 자료를 분석한 결과 여성의 경우 수심 30cm와 40cm의 평균 대피시간이 4초 정도의 차이가 나타났으나, 남성의 경우 유의미한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 또한 '안전하게 대피 가능할 것으로 예상되는 수심'에 대한 답변으로 다수가 실험의 최대 수심 조건인 40cm 이상을 선택하였다. 이와 같은 결과를 보아, 실험의 난도가 높지 않았다고 예상할 수 있으며, 그 원인은 참가자의 안전을 고려해 실험 조건을 난간을 잡은 채 보행하도록 설정한 것이 한계수심을 증가시키는 결과를 가져왔다고 볼 수 있다. 유형에 따른 대피시간의 차이를 분석하기 위해서는 실험의 한계수심 조건을 높이거나, 난간을 잡지 않고 보행할 수 있도록 안전장치를 추가하는 등, 실험조건의 변화가 필요할 것으로 판단되며, 추가적으로 난간을 잡은 채 보행하는 것이 한계수심을 얼마나 높일 수 있는지에 대한 검토를 통하여 정량적인 대피가능 시간을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the stair heights on lower extremity joint moment in stair-ascent activity Data were collected by 3-D cinematography, force platform. six normal males were participated in this experiment. All subjects performed a stair-ascent in four different heights of stairs (10, 14, 18, 22cm) having a 5 step staircase. The moment of lower extremity joint was analyzed during stance phase. The results were as follows: First, the second increase of plantar flexion moment of ankle joint in the 'forward continuance' phase was not occurred for stair A and B. But it occurred for stair C and D. And the maximum plantar flexion moment increased as the stair height become higher. Second, it was shown that the maximum inversion moment of the ankle joint was the smallest at stair B and it increased significantly at stair C. Third, maximum extension moment appeared in the 'pull-up' phase. And it increased as the stair height become higher. Fourth, it was shown that the maximum abduction moment of the knee joint was the smallest at stair C and it increased significantly at stair C. Fifth, maximum extension moment of hip joint increased significantly at stair C. Sixth, remarkable value of adduction moment occurred at hip joints and maximum adduction moment increased at stair D.

The purposes of this study were to observe the cavity wall morphology and to evaluate the degree of cavity cleanliness when root-end retrograde cavity preparation was done with ultrasonic diamond instruments. To observe the morphology of retrocavity and to evaluate the degree of cavity cleanliness. root-end resections were done on 20 palatal roots of extracted maxillary first molars after canal filling with gutta-percha. Retrocavities were prepared using either ultrasonic diamond instruments or stainless steel ones of medium power setting of level 6 ($Miniendo^{TM}$, EIE, CA, U.S.A.). Morphology of the cavity. degrees of the remaining canal debris and smear layer were evaluated under the scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows: Cavities prepared with ultrasonic diamond instruments showed scratched appearance of wall, while ultrasonic stainless steel preparation showed hatcheted appearance. Ultrasonic diamond instruments induced more smear layer than stainless steel ones did (p<0.01) in the cavity. However, there was no significant difference in canal debris (p>0.05).

The multivariate empirical distribution function could be defined when its distribution function can be estimated. It is known that bivariate empirical distribution functions could be visualized by using Step plot and Quantile plot. In this paper, the multivariate empirical distribution plot is proposed to represent the multivariate empirical distribution function on the unit square. Based on many kinds of empirical distribution plots corresponding to various multivariate normal distributions and other specific distributions, it is found that the empirical distribution plot also depends sensitively on its distribution function and correlation coefficients. Hence, we could suggest five goodness-of-fit test statistics. These critical values are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation. We explore that these critical values are not much different from those in text books. Therefore, we may conclude that the proposed test statistics in this work would be used with known critical values with ease.
