Busan Citizen Park has been taken as the research object in this paper to learn about the categories and types of resting facilities such as seats and Pergolas in the park and analyze the visitors' use patterns of bench and Pergolas. In addition, the analysis of the cultural features and preferences of bench and Pergolas will provide the basic data for the future design of resting facilities. After the research on the categories and types of bench and Pergolas and the evaluation factors through literature surveys, the type, location, and number of resting facilities including bench, Pergolas, sheds, etc. in the entire park have been investigated through field surveys. In addition, the behavioral map analysis has been created through the observation of the use patterns of bench and Pergolas in the morning and afternoon of each month, and the degree of preference and satisfaction of park bench and Pergolas has been grasped through questionnaires. The research results are as follows. Among the ten types of bench and Pergolas, the citizens like the mats and awnings + mats best. The environment is the most important factor for the mats with highest score, followed by the functional and regional factors. In addition, various activities such as eating in mats and sheds that block sunlight are Korean use patterns, which is very common in Korean daily life. These results show that bench and Pergolas in urban parks are not placed arbitrarily and the layout and design of bench and Pergolas should be completed based on behavior and preferences, which are influenced by cultural characteristics.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of root zone restriction on yield and quality of muskmelon. Three cultivation methods, isolated bench, root zone restriction sheet(RZR sheet) and conventional soil culture, were compared from April 19th to July 17th. Soil temperature was higher at isolated bench and the growth of melon was accelerated at isolated bench compared to soil culture or RZR sheet. Fruit size was bigger in order of soil culture, isolated bench and RZR sheet, while sugar content and net shape were greatest at isolated bench, and the percentage of wilted plant was 3.3% at isolated bench, 25.0% at RZR sheet and 26.7% at soil culture. Therefore, marketable yield was higher at isolated bench compared to conventional soil culture.

The purpose of this study was to obtain data to support applied motions of bench press and to provide basic data for the efficient execution of the exercise by analyzing muscular activation through measuring electromyogram of pectoralis major and erector spinae when flat bench pressing with feet on the ground versus feet on the bench. For this study, 4 amateur bodybuilders and 2 health trainers were chosen as subjects. Surface electrodes were attached on the measuring muscles; pectoralis major and erector spinae. Motion phases were defined for the flat bench press and each subject, with a 10RM load, performed a set with feet on the ground and another set with feet on the bench. Data was analyzed in SPSS 20.0 and the following results were obtained. The placement of the feet did not affect the muscular activation of the pectoralis major during the flat bench press. however, the muscular activation of the erector spinae was different between the two positions.

In this study, 3-D analyses were conducted while taking every construction stage into account. Then 2-D analyses were conducted which yield the same results with the 3-D results. The crown settlement normalized by the ultimate value was compared during the process to overcome the discrepancy caused by different dimensions. When a bench or a core is left uncut to give extra support to the face and eventually the whole excavation boundary, this extra supporting effect also has to be included in the analysis. In this study, this effect is also implemented in terms of the load distribution factor. When the length of the bench is very short compared to the diameter of the tunnel in such cases as in short bench cut or in mini-bench cut, the supporting effect of the face does not disappear even after the bench is completely excavated and supported since the face is still too close to the point of interest. The 4th load distribution factor was defined to stand for the advance of the face after the completion of the excavation cycle. The 4th load distribution factor turned out to be very useful in determining the load distribution factors when a tunnel is excavated by bench cut with various bench lengths under different initial conditions.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the standard size of a bench in the park. To obtain the basic shapes and size of a bench in the park, several parks are selected as a sample which is located in 6 major cities in Korea. Those obtained basic data of a bench are compared to standard size of a bench in United State and Japan and then human engineering concepts are applied to determine the optimal standard size. Furthermore the standard size of a bench is suggested in two classifications. One for the adults and the other for the children. This study is limited to a determining the standard size of a bench but in the future study, overall facilities in the park for the human being ha<> to be examined.

In this study, a smart bench was developed and researched smart benches that can contribute to user convenience and satisfaction by installing them in parks, bus stops, and tourist attractions in line with the rapidly changing construction of smart cities. The smart bench is automatically operated by the control system according to the external temperature and provides additional functions such as charging, lighting, and advertising to improve general bench functions as well as heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it suitable for smart urbanization. The developed smart bench is designed to be strong enough to withstand loads of about 2,500 N. It minimizes the visible parts such as assembled bolts and 220V power supply wires, It can also give aesthetic effects. The development was carried out with the aim of waterproofing and dustproofing of IP44 grade in accordance with the climate of Republic of Korea, which has four seasons, and it is advantageous for long-term use because the paint was selected for the weather ability (discoloration) grade 3 or higher. If smart bench is commercialized, it is believed that various options can be provided to the smart bench market, where buyers had few product options, as the parts were developed in an assembled type so that all functions can be responded in an optional form according to the installation environment and the buyer's budget.

We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a multi-chip microelectrofluidic bench, achieving both electrical and fluidic interconnections with a simple, low-loss and low-temperature electrofluidic interconnection method. We design 4-chip microelectrofluidic bench, having three electrical pads and two fluidic I/O ports. Each device chip, having three electrical interconnections and a pair of two fluidic I/O interconnections, can be assembled to the microelectofluidic bench with electrical and fluidic interconnections. In the fluidic and electrical characterization, we measure the average pressure drop of $13.6{\sim}125.4$ Pa/mm with the nonlinearity of 3.1 % for the flow-rates of $10{\sim}100{\mu}l/min$ in the fluidic line. The pressure drop per fluidic interconnection is measured as 0.19kPa. Experimentally, there are no significant differences in pressure drops between straight channels and elbow channels. The measured average electrical resistance is $0.26{\Omega}/mm$ in the electrical line. The electrical resistance per each electrical interconnection is measured as $0.64{\Omega}$. Mechanically, the maximum pressure, where the microelectrofluidic bench endures, reaches up to $115{\pm}11kPa$.

This study aimed at creation of bench design to be placed in the public spaces for the citizen who live in Jungnang-Gu. In Jungnang-Gu surrounded by the excellent natural environment like Jungnang-stream, Mangwoo Mt., Bongwha Mt. and Youngma Mt., there are many public places where a citizen can take a rest. Among the public facilities being in such public places however, the benches especially were installed so unplanned and disordered, even that they look unbalanced with the natural environment, though they need to play a meaningful role in park and walking paths. Hereupon this study intends to investigate the geographical environment in Jungnang-Gu and furthermore to develop the bench-design on the basis of the investigation. The concept of design lies in modern style of a bench matched up with the nature well and also taking the functional aspect for rest, in consideration of the public places utilized by the abundant natural greens. The environment-friendly timber, marble and metal were used here and the design with and without the back of a bench & the dimension for Korean people's figure were considered.
