  • 본 연구의 목적은 필라테스 운동이 척추 측만증 환자의 요추 Cobb's angle에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지의 효과를 알아보는데 있다. 이 운동의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 필라테스 자세교정운동(PCE), 척추스트레칭운동(SSE), 근육강화운동(MSE)등을 시행하였다. 자세교정운동은 불균형한 근육에너지를 바로잡아주며 척추스트레칭 운동은 척추주변의 과 긴장된 근육을 이완시키고 근육강화운동은 주동근과 길항근의 균형을 잡아주어 척추 주변 근육의 탄력성과 유연성을 회복시켜주게 된다. 연구방법은 필라테스 적용 전과 적용 후의 X-ray 촬영에 의한 요추의 Cobb's angle을 측정하여 검증하였다. X-ray 촬영을 통한 Cobb's angle 실험 전 후의 결과는 필라테스 실시 후 약 5도 정도에서 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p=0.005). 따라서 필라테스 운동이 척추 측만증에 완화에 도움이 되는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Background: Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) using lidocaine 2% is commonly used for anesthetizing primary mandibular molars; however, this technique has the highest level of patient discomfort compared to other local anesthesia techniques. Therefore, alternative anesthesia techniques are necessary. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a single buccal infiltration of 4% articaine with IANB using 2% lidocaine, for the bilateral extraction of primary mandibular molars. Methods: The present study was conducted on 30 patients aged between 6 and 9 years, who required the extraction of bilateral primary mandibular molars. The patients were randomly divided into two groups as follows: In the first session, Group A received IANB with lidocaine 2% and group B received infiltration with articaine 4%. In the second session, another injection method was performed on the opposite side. The Wong-Baker Facial Pain scale (WBFPS), Face Leg Activity Cry, and Consolability (FLACC), and physiologic parameters were used to assess pain perception. Results: The independent t-test showed no statistically significant difference in blood pressure and heart rate before and after extraction (P > 0.05). The mean FLACC index in the lidocaine and articaine groups was 0.89 and 1.36, respectively; there was no statistically significant difference between them (P > 0.05). According to the results of the chi-square test, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups for WBFPS (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The articaine infiltration technique may be an alternative to the IANB for the extraction of primary mandibular molars.

  • Purpose: In this paper, we show our blending ratio of 10 types of Essential Oils that survives beneficial bacteria and kills harmful bacteria in the scalp, and we investigate the possibility of application of our blending ratio to the development of anti-dandruff products and the possibility of being used as a raw material for clinical beauty and customized cosmetics. Methods: The scalp microorganisms used in our study were M. furfur, S. epidermidis, E. coli, and P. nitroreducens. There are a total of 10 Essential Oils such as True Lavender, Lime, Roman chamomile, Rosemary camphor, Cedarwood, Geranium, Clove, Tea tree, Palmalosa, and Peppermint. The antibacterial test of the blended Essential Oil was carried out according to the test method of the standardized evaluation methodology of "Food and Food Additives Code". Since M. furfur is related to the growth of sebum in the scalp, in this study we used the fnLNB and the fnLNA with 20 ㎖ of whole fat cow milk added. Results: The blending ratio of EO, which inhibits dandruff-causing bacteria such as M. furfur, S. epidermidis, E. coli, and does not inhibit P. nitroreducens showing dominant growth in a healthy scalp, was B8(Clove 0.2%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.3%), B9(Geranium 0.1%, Palmarosa 0.1%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.3%), B10(Clove 0.1%, Geranium 0.1%, Palmarosa 0.1%, Roman chamomile 0.5%, Tea tree 0.2%). Conclusion: It is thought that the blending ratio of BEO obtained as a result of this study can provide a basis for use as an alternative to antibiotics in developing anti-dandruff drugs and emerge as a new alternative to solve scalp microbial imbalance. In order for EO to be used as a useful raw material for anti-dandruff preparation, researches on 1) Standardization (the effects of products differ according to the types, regions, climate, extraction methods, etc.), 2) Antimicrobial effects, 3) Safety, etc., must be established.

  • 불포화대 및 포화대에 걸쳐 존재하는 폐석더미의 수리적 특성을 조사하기 위해 물을 주입한 후 수두강하를 측정하는 순간충격시험을 실시하였다. 본 연구지역과 같이 관정이 수리적 특성이 크게 다른 두 지층에 걸쳐 설치된 경우, Bower and Rice해석 방법을 이용하여 두 대수층 각 각의 수리전도도를 산출할 수 있었으며, 하강하는 지하수위의 변곡점을 이용하여 폐석더미의 두께를 추정할 수 있었다. 갈수기 시 관정 내 낮은 지하수위 때문에 인위적인 지하수위를 형성시킨 후 순간충격시험을 실시한 결과, 그 결과는 풍수기 시험 결과와 차이가 크지 않았다. 이와 같은 순간 충격시험은 폐석적치장과 같은 곳의 수리적 특성을 파악할 수 있는 유효한 방법으로 판단된다.

  • A refined three-dimensional finite element interaction model between the high-speed train and railway bride deck has been developed in the present study. Analytical predictions of vertical deflections for a railway bridge are compared with in-situ test results and a good agreement is achieved. Then, input variables employed in the analytical comparisons are selected as random variables for the limit state functions. followed by risk assessment. For this purpose, a linear adaptive weighted response surface method has been developed and applied. A typical railway bridge has been selected and the limit state functions are employed from UIC and Korean specifications in the comparative studies. The results reveal that Korean specifications give significantly risky reliability indices in comparison with UIC specifications. It is thus encouraged from the above that the present linear adaptive weighted response surface method can be an alternative for the fast estimation of nonlinear structural systems.

  • In an attempt to estimate the life projection of LED packages, IESNA published a paper regarding an LED package measurement test method in 2008, and a life projection technical document in 2011, to be used for LED life estimation. IESNA's publications regarding LED package measurement methods were functional, but they were not internationally standardized before 2017. In order to develop a standardized method, the International Standard chose to use the LM-80 as a measurement method for LED life projection in their publication in 2017. Many projection methods have been discussed by the IEC Technical Committee 34 working group, including the method using an exponential function, which reflects lumen degradation characteristics well. This study is designed to explore alternative LED package life estimation methods using an exponential function with statistical analysis, other than the one suggested by the International Standard.

  • Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) jackets have been widely used as an effective tool for the strengthening and rehabilitation of concrete structures, especially damaged concrete columns. Therefore, a clear understanding of the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete is essential. The objective of this paper is to develop a simple efficient method for predicting the compressive strength, the axial strain at the peak stress, and the stress-strain relationship of FRP-confined concrete. In this method, a compressive strength model is established based on Jefferson's failure surface. With the proposed strength model, the strength of FRP-confined concrete can be estimated more precisely. The axial strain at the peak stress is then evaluated using a damage-based formula. Finally, a modified stress-strain relationship is derived based on Lam and Teng's model. The validity of the proposed compressive strength and strain models and the modified stress-strain relationship is verified with a wide range of experimental results collected from the research literature and obtained from the self-conducted test. It can be concluded that, as a competitive alternative, the proposed method can be used to predict the compressive behavior of FRP-confined concrete with reasonable accuracy.

  • 밀의 경ㆍ연질성 구분을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 모색하기 위해 주상분석법을 이용한 측정법과 기존의 몇 가지 측정방법의 정확도 및 상관관계를 상호 비교 분석한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 주상분석법을 이용하여 측정한 곡립의 초자질율은 경도계 및 NIRS에 의한 방법과 고도로 유의적인 상관이 인정되었으며 곡립의 단백질 함량과도 분석방법간에 고도로 유의한 상관이 인정되었다. 주상분석법을 이용한 초자질율의 측정은 반복간의 오차가 적고, 측정된 결과가 기존의 경도측정 방법과 상관이 매우 높아 새로운 연경질성의 구분기준으로 사용할 수 있었으며, 곡립의 연경질성 분석후 곡립의 발아력이 상실되지 않으므로 밀의 용도별 고품질 육종효율 증진을 위한 초기 선발방법으로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.

  • This study reports an alternative method for measuring the magnetoresistance of unpatterned magnetic tunnel junctions similar to the current-in-plane tunneling (CIPT) method. Instead of using microprobes, a series of point contacts with different spacings are coated on the top surface of the junctions and R-H loops at various spacings are then measured by the usual four-point probe method. The values of magnetoresistance and resistance-area products can be obtained by fitting the measured data to the CIPT theoretical model. The test results of two types of junctions were highly similar to those obtained from standard CIPT tools. The proposed method may help to accelerate the process for evaluating the quality of magnetic tunnel junctions when commercial CIPT tools are not accessible.

  • 랜덤화 블록 계획법을 검정하는 비모수 방법은 일반 대립가설에서 Friedman (1937), 순서형 대립가설에서 Page (1963)가 제안한 방법이 있다. 이 방법은 각 블록 내 처리 간 순위를 이용해 처리 간의 차이를 검정하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 Hodges와 Lehmann (1962)이 제안한 정렬방법을 이용하여 블록 간 정보의 손실을 줄이고, Orban과 Wolfe (1982)가 제안한 위치를 확장하여, Kim (1999)이 제안한 대조군과 처리군의 방법을 이용하여 랜덤화 블록 모형에서 새로운 비모수 검정 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 Monte Carlo 모의실험을 통해 제안방법과 기존의 검정 방법을 비교하였다.
