Parkinson's disease(PD) is one of the three major senile diseases and the incidence rate is increasing worldwide as the population ages. And as the disease progresses, time and economic costs increase, so it is important to understand the progress of the disease and to diagnose it early In this paper, we propose a method for pre-screening Parkinson's disease using a smartphone. The contents of the developed application are composed of tapping, tremor, spiral drawing, and gait based on Part III of the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale. This can be used to quantitatively diagnose Bradykinesia, Tremor and Postural Instability, which are known as motility symptoms of Parkinson's disease, and to monitor the progress of symptoms. This method is expected to be useful for the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease.

In this study, laboratory tests (flow, unit weight, unconfined compressive strength and bleeding tests) were performed to evaluate engineering properties of treated soil to improve pipe mixing method. As result, flow and bleeding properties are proportional to the water contents. The unit weight and unconfined compressive strength is decreased as the water contents increased. Comparing equipments contact pressure with bearing capacity of the mixed soil for dozer, backhoe and belt conveyor are immediately appliable. The applicable water content range is estimated from 80% to 200% by pipe mixing method using cement. Also, The design chart is developed from the results.

Development of unconventional natural resources such as shale gas, shale oil and coal bed methane, has been activated and improved the productivity due to the recent technology advance in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. However, the flowback water mixed with chemical additives, and the brine water containing oil, gas, high levels of salts and radioactive metals is produced during the gas production. Potential negative environmental impact due to large volumes of the produced wastewater is increasingly seen as the major obstacles to the unconventional natural resource development. In this study an integrated framework for the flowback and brine water treatment is proposed, and we reviewed the upcoming state of the art technology in water treatment. Basic separation processes which include not only membrane, evaporation, crystallization and desalination processes, but the potential water reuse and recycling techniques can be applied for the unconventional natural resource industry.

Thermal analyses have been performed to study the effect of location of fuel ring and thermal barrier coatings in regenerative cooling channels in a full-scale combustor. For the effective cooling, the fuel ring has better be installed near axial location of the low expansion ratio and low heat flux, and branching of cooling channels is preferable. Also, the radiative cooled nozzle extension is thought to be reasonable for the cooling of combustor walls. Among the possible coatings, $Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$ coating and Ni/Cr coating have been adopted. Compared with Ni/Cr coating which has high oxidation resistance, $Y_2O_3$ stabilized $ZrO_2$ coating, one of ceramic coatings is found to be much effective to sustain the thermal survivability of combustion walls.

$TiO_2$는 기계적, 화학적 안정성이 높아 가혹한 화학적 환경 또는 고온 운전 조건에서 훌륭한 내구성을 보여주어 산업적으로 일찍이 널리 이용되어 왔다. 예를 들어, 염소발생 (chlorine evolution reaction) 또는 산소발생반응은 (oxygen evolution reaction) 염소 또는 산소 라디칼에 전극이 지속적으로 노출되기에 강한 내부식성을 지닌 전극재가 요구되었고, 그 결과 $TiO_2$를 골조로 한 불용성전극 (dimensionally stable anode)이 개발되어 이용되고 있다. 그러나, $TiO_2$는 절연성이 높은 금속 산화물 재료이기 때문에 넓은 표면적 획득 및 촉매제 사용을 통해 소재의 단점을 극복해야만 한다. 넓은 반응 표면적 획득의 한 방법으로써 전기화학적 양극산화 (electrochemical anodization)를 통한 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 제조법은 경제적이면서도 구조 제어도 간편한 방법이다. $TiO_2$ 나노튜브는 100nm 전후의 기공 크기를 가짐과 동시에 매우 높은 종횡비를 지니고 있어 넓은 반응 표면적 획득에 특히 유리하다. 그러나, 이 높은 종횡비는 촉매 도입을 어렵게 하는 저해요소가 되기도 한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 다양한 방법들이 연구되었으나 대부분이 번거롭거나 비싼 후단공정을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브에 촉매를 도핑하기 위한 간단한 전기화학적 방법으로, 단일공정 양극산화법 (single-step anodization)과 전압충격법 (potential shock), 그리고 저전압충격법 (under potential shock)을 연구하였으며 이에 적용 가능한 촉매제의 종류를 소개한다. 또한, 촉매의 성질에 따른 응용분야와 그 성능평가 결과를 제시한다.

We have developed and evaluated a smart clothing system for the measurement of body composition in real time. Two kinds of experimental clothes were developed in this study to investigate the effects of textile electrodes on the measurements. As long as the wearer maintained same posture, the magnitudes of impedance was measured identically even though he got into the clothing again. Moreover we found the clothing could measure the impedance of each body segment.

This article attempts to discuss the childcare regime through examining the way familialism is expressed in society. First of all, this study reconceptualizes familialism and familism. From this conceptualization, this paper argues that although familialism is partly related with the level of development in a welfare state, familialism determines the way of welfare provision. Especially, family policy models are classified into 6 different typologies based on four concepts: defamilialization, familialization, public, and private. According to this discussion, familialism in child care is not simply the result of underdeveloped welfare in Korea. Rather the familialism is deeply rooted in the current socioeconomic circumstance and traditional culture in Korea. This implies that despite of expanding the institutional infrastructure of public childcare, the characteristic of Korean childcare regime would not be the same as the Nordic childcare regime.

LDO(Low Drop-Out) regulators have become an essential building block in modern PMIC(Power Managment IC) to extend battery life of electronic devices. In this paper, we optimize capacitor-less LDO regulator via Geometric Programming(GP) designed using Dongbu HiTek $0.5{\mu}m$ BCDMOS process. GP-compatible models for stability and PSR of LDO regulators are derived based on monomial formulation of transistor characteristics. Average errors between simulation and the proposed model are 9.3 % and 13.1 %, for phase margin and PSR, respectively. Based on the proposed models, the capacitor-less LDO optimization can be performed by changing the PSR constraint of the design. The GP-compatible performance models developed in this work enables the design automation of capacitor-less LDO regulator for different design target specification.

물은 인간생활에 가장 필수적인 재화이며, 모든 산업의 기본이다. 더욱이 다른 재화와는 달리 대체재가 없다는 것에 그 심각성이 있다. 인구의 폭발적인 증가와 급격한 산업화로 지구촌의 물 부족 현상은 이미 어제 오늘의 일이 아니다. 최근 일부지역에서는 물전쟁 시나리오까지 등장하고 있다. 최근 40년간 세계의 물 소비량은 3배나 증가하였으며, 국가간 물 분쟁도 증가 추세를 보이고 있다. 우리 나라의 경우도 연평균강수량(1.27mm)이 세계평균(973mm)의 1.3배에 이르고는 있지만, 높은 인구 밀도 때문에 1인당 연간 평균강수량은 세계평균의 12.5%에 불과한 실정이다. 또한, 실질적으로 사용 가능한 자원량을 생각하면 문제는 더욱 심각하다. UN의 국제인구행동연구소(PAI:Population Action International)의 발표에 따르면, 우리 나라의 활용 가능한 자원량은 661억$m^3$으로 이를 국민 한사람당으로 환산해 보면 1.472$m^3$으로 물 부족 국가군에 해당한다. 현재 건설교통부의 수자원장기종합계획에 의하면, 우리 나라는 2006년부터 연간 4억$m^3$, 2011년부터 연간 20억$m^3$의 물이 부족할 것으로 전망하고 있다. 우리 나라 수자원 특성상 물을 확보하는데는 댐 건설 등 수자원시설이 적기에 건설되어야 하지만, 공기가 길고(10년 이상 소요), 엄청난 투자비(약 24조원), 수몰지 발생, 환경변화 등 많은 문제점들이 도출되고 있다. 그러나 미래의 물 부족에 대응하기 위해서 댐 건설(상수원전용 댐)은 불가피한 대안 중의 하나이다. 또 다른 대안으로는 교육이나 홍보를 통하여 수돗물 사용자로 하여금 자발적으로 물 사용량을 줄이도록 권고하는 방법이 있다. 또한 수도요금체계를 현실화시키거나 법규를 통하여 절수를 의무화하는 등의 방법을 통하여 물 수요를 관리하여 댐 건설이나 상수도시설 확장 등 많은 예산이 소요되는 공사를 실시하지 않고서도 급수관리와 비슷한 효과를 가질 수도 있다. 따라서 물 절약 등 수요관리를 통하여 용수수요를 줄여 나가는 방안 마련이 시급하다. 그리고 물은 한정된 자원이자 우리의 생명수이다. 이제는 수요가 증가한다고 해서 무턱대고 공급을 늘이기 위한 정책 방향으로만 갈 수는 없는 실정이다 보니 물 수요관리를 더 한층 중요하게 다루어야 할 적기가 바로 오늘이 시점부터라고 할 수 있다.

A systematically structured 3D information model can be effectively utilized in many application fields. This study presents the methodology of generation and application of the city information model, which is suited for the management of the flood damage information. To ensure the interoperability and re-usability of the information, this study develops application methodology to utilize the information attributes included in the CityGML as an open standard data schema and extension methodology for additional information attributes. Also, an effective combining method for topography and building model was proposed. Using the data extracted from the combined information model based on a real flood damage case, it was shown that the numbers of casualties and isolation during a flood can be predicted and as a result, the applicability of the data model on flood damage estimation is naturally verified.
