The purpose of this study is to offer basic data for the fall prevention by analyzing the kinematic difference between the lower limb joints and the lower extremities in elderly people's walking given the lower-limb resistance exercises. For this, three-dimensional image analysis was carried out by selecting 7 elderly women from over 70s to under 80 years old. To obtain the three-dimensional location coordinates in the lower limb joints and the lower extremities, it shot with 100Hz/s by using MCU(Qualisys, Sweden) camera. The shot image gained raw data on the location coordinates by using QTM(Qualisys, Sweden). As a result of calculating three-dimensional angle by using program of Matlab 6.5, the following conclusions were obtained. Flexion and extension in the thigh and the lower-leg extremities were indicated to be big in motion of flexion after exercising at E5. Foot segment indicated statistical difference while showing eversion at E4. Knee joints showed flexion at E4 after exercising. Ankle joints showed statistical difference while indicating motion in inversion at E3 and in eversion at E4(p<.05).

이 연구의 목적은 각 분절의 마커세트와 무릎관절 중심 정의가 3차원 무릎 관절각을 산출하는데 얼마나 민감하게 영향을 미치는지를 연구하였다. 자료수집은 1명을 실험대상자로 하여 두 가지 형태의 각기 다른 분절의 정의와 무릎관절의 중심을 나타내는 반사마커들을 동시에 오른쪽 하지에 부착시켜 실험을 실시하였다. 실험대상자의 달리기동작 중 좌측으로 45도 방향전환동작의 지지기를 분석하였다. 이를 위해서 8대의 고속카메라들을 이용하였고 달리기속도는 4m/$sec{\pm}(10%)$로 통제하였다. 하지분절의 발분절에는 하나의 마커세트를, 정강이와 대퇴분절에는 두 가지의 다른 마커세트들을 부착시켰다. 발분절에는 3개의 마커를 신발의 뒷부분에 부착하였고 정강이분절을 정의하기 위하여 첫 번째 마커세트는 경골을 중심으로 3개의 마커들을 두 번째 마커세트는 비골을 중심으로 3개의 마커를 부착하였다. 대퇴분절의 마커세트를 정의하기 위하여 첫 번째 마커세트에는 대퇴골을 중심으로 3개의 마커를 두 번째 마커세트에는 대퇴근육을 중심으로 3개의 마커들을 부착하였다. 무릎관절중심을 정의하는데 두 가지 다른 정의가 적용되었다. 첫 번째 무릎중심을 무릎의 내측과 외측의 마커들을 통해 두 마커의 중심을 무릎관절의 중심으로 정의하였다. 두 번째 무릎중심정의는 무릎의 외측부분과 슬개골의 중심에 부착된 마커들로부터의 교차점을 무릎관절중심으로 산출하였다. 무릎관절의 각도를 산출하기 위해서 JCS(Joint Coordinate System)의 정의가 적용되었고 연구의 결과는 다음과 같았다. 두 가지의 다른 분절마커세트 사이에서 무릎의 신전(extension)과 굴곡(flexion)은 유사한 형태를 나타냈으며 최대 무릎굴곡(peak knee flexion)각에서 $4.746^{\circ}$의 차이를 나타냈다. 다른 분절마커세트 사이의 회전(rotation)각과 내전(adduction)/외전(abduction)에서는 서로 다른 형태를 나타내었고, 두 마커세트간 최대무릎외측회전(peak knee external rotation)각도에서는 $15.628^{\circ}$의 차이를 나타냈다. 또한, 각 분절마커세트 내에서 두 가지의 다른 무릎관절 중심의 정의가 얼마나 무릎도 산출에 영향을 미치는지를 비교했을 때 무릎의 최대외측회전(peak external rotation)각에서 차이를 나타내었다. 첫 번째 분절마커세트의 무릎관절중심정의의 형태변화에 따라 최대외측회전각은 $0.549^{\circ}$의 차이를 나타냈고, 두 번째 분절마커 세트에서 무릎관절중심정의의 형태변화에 따라 최대외측회전각은 $0.309^{\circ}$의 차이를 나타냈다. 이와 같이 분절을 나타내는 마커세트와 무릎관절중심정의의 형태변화에 따라 무릎간을 계산하는데 있어서 결과가 다르게 산출되었다. 즉, 관절각의 계산이 분절에 부착되는 마커의 정의 혹은 위치에 매우 민감하게 영향을 받았다. 따라서 연구자가 여러 실험대상자들을 대상으로 실험시 마커세트 혹은 마커들을 동일한 위치에 가깝게 부착하는 것이 마커부착으로부터 발생하는 실험오차를 줄일 수 있을 것이다.

A mathematical model of human gait was developed to calculate the muscle forces of the lower extremity during walking. The musculoskeletal model consisted of 7 segments and 16 lower extremity muscles. The muscle forces variation during the gait calculated with optimization technique showed a good agreement with previously reported experimental results, mostly EMG variation. Moreover, the resulting joint torques matched well with those from the kinematic data and the inverse dynamics.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the static behavior of spliced prestressed concrete girder with bending moment connector and lateral prestressing. Four (4) spliced girders and one (1) monolithic girder had been fabricated and tested to compare their static behaviors. Same geometry and materials are used to fabricate these spliced and monolithic girders. A monolithic girder and one (1) spliced girder without lateral bending connector are used as control specimens to estimate the performance of three (3) spliced girders with lateral bending connector. Deflections at the middle of girders have been measured for evaluation. Also, strains of the concrete at the middle of span and connection points have been measured. It was found from the result that laterally strengthened spliced girders showed improved ultimate strength but less stiffness compared to the monolithic girder at the ultimate state. Laterally strengthened spliced girder also showed improved strength as well as improved stiffness compared to the spliced girder without lateral strengthening.

The aim of this study was to find out effect of the orthographic representation on speech sound segmentation performance. Children's performances of the orthographic representation task and the speech sound segmentation task had positive correlation in words of phoneme-grapheme correspondence and negative correlation in words of phoneme-grapheme non-correspondence. In the case of words of phoneme-grapheme correspondence, there was no difference in performance ability between orthographic representation high level group and low level group, while in the case of words of phoneme-grapheme non-correspondence, the low level group's performance was significantly better than the high level group's. The most frequent errors of both groups were orthographic conversion errors and such errors were significantly more noticeable in the high level group. This study suggests that from the time of learning orthographic knowledge, children utilize orthographic knowledge for the performance of phonological awareness tasks.

Out of Vocabulary(OOV) 문제는 인공신경망 기계번역(Neural Machine Translation, NMT)에서 빈번히 제기되어 왔다. 이를 해결하기 위해, 기존에는 단어를 효율적인 압축할 수 있는 Byte Pair Encoding(BPE)[1]이 대표적으로 이용되었다. 하지만 BPE는 빈도수를 기반으로 토큰화가 진행되는 결정론적 특성을 취하고 있기에, 다양한 문장에 관한 일반화된 분절 능력을 함양하기 어렵다. 이를 극복하기 위해 최근 서브 워드를 정규화하는 방법(Subword Regularization)이 제안되었다. 서브 워드 정규화는 동일한 단어 안에서 발생할 수 있는 다양한 분절 경우의 수를 고려하도록 설계되어 다수의 실험에서 우수한 성능을 보였다. 그러나 분류 작업, 특히 한국어를 대상으로 한 분류에 있어서 서브 워드 정규화를 적용한 사례는 아직까지 확인된 바가 없다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 서브 워드 정규화를 대표하는 두 가지 방법인 유니그램 기반 서브 워드 정규화[2]와 BPE-Dropout[3]을 이용해 한국어 분류 문제에 대한 서브 워드 정규화의 효과성을 제안한다. NMT 뿐만 아니라 분류 문제 역시 단어의 구성성 및 그 의미를 파악하는 것은 각 문장이 속하는 클래스를 결정하는데 유의미한 기여를 한다. 더불어 서브 워드 정규화는 한국어의 문장 구성 요소에 관해 폭넓은 인지능력을 함양할 수 있다. 해당 방법은 본고에서 진행한 한국어 분류 과제 실험에서 기존 BPE 대비 최대 4.7% 높은 성능을 거두었다.

This study was to investigate the difference in gait pattern between the visual handicap children and non handicap children in by analyze the biomechanical variation and pattern of lower limb. Therefore, we have made a choice of four visually handicapped children and two subjects, who had no medical disorder for the last six months. In order to collect the gait pattern data of each group, we have used six infrared cameras and one forceplate Also, we have used QTM program to collect the raw data and Visual3D program to calculate kinetic variable. The results were as follows, An/Posterior GRF of breaking phase and propulsion phase in stance phase was lower in visual handicapped children than that of non handicapped children and breaking phase was longer than propulsion phase. extension moment at the ankle was quite lower than general gait pattern and there was little variation at the knee joint which makes the results differ from the general gait pattern. However, hip joint moment was relatively higher than that of other joints. Mechanical variation of lower limb, in case of foot and shank, showed similar results. but generated very low mechanical energy. In thigh, the form of mechanical energy generation was slightly different in each group but generated more mechanical energy than other segments.

Data are limited on biological mechanisms underlying the associations of sleep insufficiency with obesity and dyslipidemia. To explore these mechanisms, we investigated appetite-regulating hormones, stress-related hormones, and cardiometabolic indicators in association with sleep fragmentation, which is a type of sleep disorder. In an experimental study, we randomly allocated 40 Wistar male rats aged 7 weeks into four groups; rats with ad libitum sleep and ad libitum intake (Control), those exposed to sleep fragmentation (SF), those with diet restriction (DR), and those exposed to sleep fragmentation and diet restriction (SF+DR). Amongst them, 13-day chronic sleep fragmentation was applied to the SF and SF+DR groups while 50% reduction in chow intake was applied to the DR and SF+DR groups for 13 days. After these experiments, blood lipid and lipoprotein profiles, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, cortisol, epinephrine, and norepinephrine levels were compared among the four groups. In the results, the SF group showed the highest levels of serum ghrelin (P<0.001) and the lowest levels of serum adiponectin (P<0.01). All experimental groups showed higher levels of low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) than the Control (P<0.001). LDL-C levels and the ratio of LDL-C and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol were positively correlated with ghrelin levels (P<0.05) in the SF group, but not in the DR and SF+DR groups. In the SF group, the highest levels of serum free fatty acids were also observed and correlated with lower levels of serum adiponectin, which reflects insulin resistance (P<0.05). Based on these findings, we suggest that chronic sleep fragmentation may induce disturbances in lipid metabolism and appetite-regulating hormones independent of food intake, and these metabolic disturbances may be worse due to insulin resistance related to overeating, which is indicated by elevated ghrelin levels in sleep fragmentation. For persons with sleep insufficiency, anti-atherogenic dietary interventions may be recommended to prevent cardiovascular disease.
