Background: The purpose of the present study was to determine whether balance training combined with light touch improves the postural sway and gait speed in stroke patients. Design: Randomized Controlled Trial Study Methods: The current study included 40 stroke patients, who were randomly divided into two groups: the balance training with light touch (LT) group (n=20) and the balance training with heavy touch (HT) group (n=20). Both groups performed balance training on a stable and unstable ground. Additionally, the LT group provided light touch stimulation, and the HT group provided heavy touch stimulation. All the participants underwent 20 sessions of STS training (thirty minutes, five days per week for four weeks). In this study, postural sway was measured using a force platform, and walking speed was measured using a 10 meter walk test. Results: The improvements in postural sway and gait speed were observed to be significantly greater in the LT group, compared to the HT group (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results of the current study imply that balance training combined with light touch is a beneficial and effective therapeutic modality that can be employed to improve the postural sway and gait speed in stroke patients.

강력사건에서 혈액지문은 범인과 피해자를 연결하는 중요한 증거물이기에 현재까지도 이에 대한 많은 실험과 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 과거부터 Fuchsin Acid와 Acid Yellow7간의 비교는 이루어져왔으나, Eosin-Y의 경우 국내에 조직염색시약으로만 알려졌을 뿐 직접적으로 지문에 적용된 사례가 없다. Fuchsin Acid는 특유의 붉은색으로 인해 밝은 배경에서 좋은 대조비를 보이지만, 어두운 배경에서는 Gel lifter를 적용해야 형광이 관찰되는 등 번거로움이 있다. 또한 Gel lifter 사용 시 지문의 좌우가 바뀌기 때문에 주의를 기울여야 한다. Acid Yellow 7은 노란색의 결과물이 현출되기 때문에 밝은 배경에서는 대조비가 좋지 않지만, 어두운 배경에서 매우 강한 형광을 나타냈다. Eosin-Y의 경우 분홍색의 결과물로 인해 밝은 배경에서 Acid Yellow 7에 비해 대조비가 좋았으며, 어두운 배경에서는 Fuchsin Acid 보다나은 형광이 관찰되었다. 물론 Eosin-Y가 밝은 배경에서의 Fuchsin Acid 및 어두운 배경에서의 Acid Yellow 7 형광에 비해서 효과성은 다소 떨어지나 배경에 구애받지 않는다는 장점이 있기에 현장에서 근무하는 수사요원에게는 보다 효과적인 혈액지문증강이 될 것이다.

본 연구에서는 공동경로간섭계(common-path interferometer)에 기반한 회절위상현미경(diffraction phase microscopy)을 이용한 광섬유의 굴절률 프로파일(refractive index profile) 측정기술을 개발하였다. 투과형 회절격자를 이용하여 광섬유 시료를 통과한 빛으로부터 핀홀을 이용하여 영의 공간주파수 성분만을 갖는 기준광을 생성하고, 기준광을 다시 시료의 위상정보를 갖는 시료광과 간섭시키는 방법을 통해 시료의 위상정보를 가진 간섭무늬를 형성시켰다. 이렇게 얻어진 간섭 이미지로부터 수치적 처리과정을 거쳐 공간적 위상정보 곧, 위상 이미지를 획득하고 이 데이터를 역아벨변환(inverse Abel transform)을 통해 굴절률 프로파일로 변환할 수 있었다. 이때 클래딩과 광섬유 주변의 매질 사이의 굴절률차로 인해 발생하는 배경위상을 이론적으로 얻어진 함수형태에 맞춰 예측하고 이를 측정된 위상에서 제거하는 배경위상제거 방법을 개발하여 사용하였다. 이를 통해 광섬유 코어 부근의 위상정보만으로도 굴절률 프로파일을 성공적으로 이뤄질 수 있음이 입증되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 회절위상현미경 특유의 측정 안정성과 편의성을 가진 광섬유 굴절률 프로파일 측정장치를 개발하였고 광섬유 및 도파로의 굴절률 분포를 비파괴적으로 분석할 수 있어 광섬유 및 광섬유소자 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Background: Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge has been used in traditional medicine. The type of light source has an effect on the growth properties and composition of functional compounds in plants. In this study, we analyzed the effects of different artificial light sources on the growth characteristics as well as antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of S. miltiorrhiza. Methods and Results: Seedlings of S. miltiorrhiza were grown under various artificial light sources, including fluorescent light (FL), light emitting diode (LED), and microwave electrodeless light (MEL), for 8 weeks. Growth characteristics were the best in plants treated with MEL. DPPH scavenging activity of the shoot was more pronounced with the FL treatments, while the roots were more active in plants grown under single wavelength lights (i.e., blue and red LEDs). Among the different light source treatments, the blue LED resulted in a higher total phenolic content in the plants. Furthermore, growing plants growth under the red LED enhanced their total flavonoid content. Notably, the antimicrobial properties of plants varied significantly between light source treatments in this study. Except for E. coli, all the tested microorganisms were susceptible to the plant extracts. Conclusions: The type of light source may be an important parameter for the enhancement of plant growth and functional compounds in S. miltiorrhiza.

Background: The photosynthetic efficiency cool-season, semi-shade ginseng is normal at low morning temperatures, but drops at high afternoon temperatures. Therefore, optimal plant performance would be ensured if it were possible to control daily light transmission rates (LTR). Methods and Results: Plants were grown in a controlled light environment that replicated 11 AM conditions and comparatively analyzed against plant grown under normal conditions. Growth in the controlled light environment resulted in a 2.81 fold increase in photosynthetic efficiency with no change in chlorophyll content, although LTR were high due to low morning temperatures. Increased aerial plant growth was observed in the ginseng plants adapted to the controlled light environment, which in turn influenced root weight. An 81% increase in fresh root weight (33.3 g per plant on average) was observed in 4-year-old ginseng plants grown in controlled light environment compared to the plants grown following conventional practices (18.4 g per plant on average). With regard to the inorganic composition of leaves of 4-year-old ginseng plants grown in controlled light environment, an increased in Fe content was observed, while Mn and Zn content decreased, and total ginsenoside content of roots increased 2.37 fold. Conclusions: Growth of ginseng under a favorable light environment, such as the condition which exist naturally at 11 AM and are suitable for the plant's photosynthetic activity creates the possibility of large scale production, excellent-quality ginseng.

In general, Cerenkov light is produced by a charged particle that passes through a medium with a velocity greater than that of visible light. Although the wavelength of Cerenkov light is very broad, the peak is in the almost visible range from 400 to 480 nm. Therefore, it always causes a problem to detect a real light signal that is generated in the scintillator on the fiber-optic sensor tip for dose measurements of high-energy electron beam. The objectives of this study are to measure, characterize and remove Cerenkov light generated in a fiber-optic radiation sensor tip to detect a real light signal from the scintillator. In this study, the intensity of Cerenkov light is measured and characterized as a function of incident angle of electron beam from a LINAC, and as a function of the energy of electron beam. As a measuring device, a photodiode-amplifier system is used, and a subtraction method using a background optical fiber is investigated to remove Cerenkov light.

Recent modern architecture shows a lot of cases that introduce natural light in indoor space, arousing diverse emotions within a minimal space by means of changes in the light. There are various causes for the background of these streams of times, and it may be said that pursuing the relationship between natural phenomena and space, using changes in light, is an important factor among them. This is closely linked to the raise of phenomenological architecture. In the case of Japan, there are many cases where the architectural language connected to the traditional architecture has been restructured to fit to modern architectural technique. The modern reinterpretation and development of the Japanese traditional effect of light and its meaning can be seen in cases of Kuma Kengo and Tadao Anndo. Of the modern architects that have used the appearance of spatial concept of light in Japanese architectural space, Kengo Kuma shows his attempt at finding identity in his designs through the acceptance and modern reinterpretation of orientalism of nature, along with the traditional and regional interpretation through materials and ways construction. It is his use oh light input used in traditional Japanese settings that have differentiated his work. On this, the present thesis intends to analyze and synthesize what impressions Kengo Kuma's unique methods of light production create in the formation of users' spatial perception, how the unique encounter of light and materials seems to perceivers, and the characteristics of his light production and expression that harmonize space, human, and nature in the visual and perceptual experience of space;

In the 2D local dimmable LED backlight system, each LED segment can be controlled separately. This can enhance the contrast ratio and reduce overall power consumption of LCDs. However, an artifact such as 'halo mura' can be observed around the bright object in the dark background. This is caused by the light leakage from the bright area into the dark one. Therefore, the 'halo mura' can be more easily observed in the oblique viewing direction. Thus, in this study, the perceivable degree of the halo mura is evaluated according to the level of the off-axis light leakage of LCDs. It is found that an acceptable degree of halo mura can be obtained in 2.0 cd/$m^2$ of the diagonal light leakage. In addition, the halo mura is unperceivable under 0.7 cd/$m^2$ of the diagonal light leakage which can be achieved with optimally compensated polarizers.
