Foehn damage on rice plant is one of the important abiotic stresses in eastern costal area of Korea. To know the relationship between foehn impact and morphological traits of rice, wind tunnel method was used with 106 rice cultivars. Less influencing traits on foehn were short panicle, large panicle number per hill, thin panicle neck, and the flag leaf of narrow, short and thick. Leaf pubescence reduced the impact on foehn. 'Naepungbyeo' belong-ed to foehn tolerant varietal group, while 'Ansanbyeo' belonged to the opposite group. Three levels of root cutting treatment with two rice cultivars were conducted to evaluate the foehn impact using wind tunnel. The severity of wind damages was followed the sigmoidal curve duration of wind tunnel treatment were prolonged. Different responses of root cutting to wind tunnel treatment could be used to evaluate the severity of the foehn impact. 'Naepungbyeo' was one of the less implausible cultivars on foehn. 'Nae-pungbyeo' showed tolerant response to wind under 21% root removing treat-ment (20㎝ root cutting), however 'Ansanbyeo' was wilted under the same treatment. In case of 35 % root removing treatment(10㎝ root cutting), both rice cultivars failed to alive against foehn wind.

In this study, it is observed that the distribution of combustion chamber volume affects the volumetric efficiency. The distribution ratio was adjusted by controlling combustion chamber volume of head and piston bowl one. Four cases were investigated, which are the combination of different distribution ratios and different compression ratios (9.8-10.0). A commercial SOHC 3-valve engine was modified by cutting the bottom face of the head and/or replacing the piston by the one that has different volume. The result shows that the less the head side volume, the more volumetric efficiency is achieved under the same compression ratio. It is also observed that increasing volumetric efficiency results in early knock occurrence due to increased "real" compression ratio. To consider reliability in estimating the volumetric efficiency, we examined the sensitivity of the AFR equation to possible errors in emission measurements. It is shown that the volumetric efficiency, which is calculated by measuring AFR and fuel consumption, can be controlled in 1% error. 1% error.

During the operation of a nuclear power plant (NPP), the waste reactor vessel closure head (RVCH) that is replaced owing to design or manufacturing defects is buried in a designated area or temporarily stored in a radiation shielding facility within the NPP. In such cases, storing it for extended periods proves a challenge owing to space constraints in the power plant and a safety risk associated with radiation exposure; therefore, dismantling it quickly and safely is crucial. However, not much research has been done on the dismantling of the RVCH in an operational power plant. This study proposes a dismantling process based on the radioactive contamination level measured for the Kori #1 RVCH, which is currently being discarded and stored, and examines the decontamination and cutting according to this process. In addition, the amount of secondary waste and dismantling cost are evaluated, and the dismantling effect of the reactor closure head is analyzed.

Metal 3D-printing technology enables the manufacture of complex features or internal structures, which is not possible in fabrication by conventional cutting methods. The most successful types of metal 3D printing have been powder bed diffusion and directed energy deposition, which use laser heads exploiting high-power laser sintering metal powder. In this study, a cost-effective optical design was proposed for a 2-kW-level fiber laser head. Only two commercial lenses, a beamsplitter and a window, are used in the laser head, satisfying the technological requirements. According to the optical design, the spot size was 2.54 mm, and the stand-off distance from the laser head was 295 mm. The intensity distribution was Gaussian. Thus, smooth power sintering was possible without any laser spot marks. Monte Carlo analysis was employed to verify the consistency of the optical performance under conventional assembly tolerance.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the characteristics of patients injured by high-rotation cutting tools and the factors related to the severity of their injuries. Methods: Adult patients (≥18 years), who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a high-rotation cutting tool injury and who were registered in the Korean Emergency Department-based Injury In-Depth Surveillance (2011-2018) database, were included. Patients' demographic characteristics, injury-related factors, and Injury Severity Scores were collected. All included cases were categorized into two groups according to the tool that caused the injury: grinder versus nongrinder. The characteristics of the two groups were compared, and the factors associated with the severity of injuries were investigated. Results: Among 8,697 ED visits, 4,603 patients had been using a grinder and 4,094 had been using a nongrinder tool. The most frequently injured body part while using a grinder was the hand (46.4%), followed by the head (23.0%). While using a nongrinder tool, the most frequently injured body part was also the hand (64.0%), followed by the lower leg (11.4%). The odds of a severe injury were affected by patient age (odds ratio [OR], 1.024; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.020-1.028) and using a grinder (OR, 2.073; 95% CI, 1.877-2.290). The odds of a severe injury using a grinder were higher in arm injuries (OR, 1.60; 95% CI, 1.40-1.83) and multiple-part injuries (OR, 1.998; 95% CI, 1.639-2.437). The odds of a severe injury using a grinder were lower for head injuries (OR, 0.481; 95% CI, 0.297-0.781). Conclusions: Injuries from grinders were more likely to affect the head and neck than nongrinder injuries, despite the lower severity. The current lack of regulations on grinders in occupational safety and health standards warrants relevant legislation and the development of applicable safety equipment.

Purpose: Yield monitoring systems are an essential component of precision agriculture. They indicate the spatial variability of crop yield in fields, and have become an important factor in modern harvesters. The objective of this paper was to review research trends related to yield monitoring sensors for grain crops. Methods: The literature was reviewed for research on the major sensing components of grain yield monitoring systems. These major components included grain flow sensors, moisture content sensors, and cutting width sensors. Sensors were classified by sensing principle and type, and their performance was also reviewed. Results: The main targeted harvesting grain crops were rice, wheat, corn, barley, and grain sorghum. Grain flow sensors were classified into mass flow and volume flow methods. Mass flow sensors were mounted primarily at the clean grain elevator head or under the grain tank, and volume flow sensors were mounted at the head or in the middle of the elevator. Mass flow methods used weighing, force impact, and radiometric approaches, some of which resulted in measurement error levels lower than 5% ($R^2=0.99$). Volume flow methods included paddle wheel type and optical type, and in the best cases produced error levels lower than 3%. Grain moisture content sensing was in many cases achieved using capacitive modules. In some cases, errors were lower than 1%. Cutting width was measured by ultrasonic distance sensors mounted at both sides of the header dividers, and the errors were in some cases lower than 5%. Conclusions: The design and fabrication of an integrated yield monitoring system for a target crop would be affected by the selection of a sensing approach, as well as the layout and mounting of the sensors. For accurate estimation of yield, signal processing and correction measures should be also implemented.

This study delves into the realm of upcycling beauty design by repurposing discarded CDs, magazines, and fabrics. The study outlines a meticulous process for transforming waste into beauty designs. We created three upcycling beauty design works as part of this investigation. The first creation, called Silver Leaf, uses the silver section of CDs to craft leaves and stems. Achromatic colors are used as makeup to achieve cyber-inspired imagery. After carrying out silver-gray eye makeup, the lips were completed by affixing a CD component. The second creation is a firebird crafted by cutting or folding fashion magazines to create essential items. The colorful firebird image was completed using vivid color makeup of shades such as red and yellow. After proceeding with red eye makeup, the lips were completed by cutting and pasting magazine cutouts. The third piece is a spring flower, which involved selectively cutting lace patterns to complete a beauty design extending from head to face. The colors are spring-themed and encompass pink, yellow, and blue. Pink, blue, and green eyeshadows were applied on the lace, attached from head to face, chest, and lips. This study advocates for the prospect of upcycling beauty design using sustainable materials by repurposing waste resources. It also introduces the possibilities of creative activities in this field through upcycling. The study aims to play a role in changing the perception of environmental conservation, a concern of our times, through the use of sustainable resources.

기성 콘크리트 파일(PHC파일)은 대규모 건축공사 및 토목공사에서 주로 사용되며, 최근 건축물이 중량화, 대형화, 고층화됨에 따라 그 수요가 지속적인 증가 추세에 있다. 이와 같은 PHC파일은 건물 구조체의 기초와 연결되어 지지력을 확보하기 위해 두부정리 작업이 반드시 요구된다. 두부정리 작업은 800$\cal{kg}f/cm^2$이상으로 압축된 기성 콘크리트 파일의 두부를 파쇄하고 약 30-40cm 정도의 강선을 남겨놓아 구조체의 기초와 정착시킬 수 있도록 하는 작업이다. 국내 재래식 두부정리 작업은 노동 집약적이면 노무자간의 숙련도 차이에 의해 품질 및 작업 생산성이 크게 영향을 받고 있다. 또한, 백호에 연결된 크러셔에 의한 무리한 작업으로 인해 PHC파일 그라인딩면에 다량의 균열이 발생됨으로써 구조체의 지지력 확보에 문제점이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 재래식 두부정리 작업의 문제점을 해결하고 두부정리 작업을 자동으로 수행학 수 있는 자동화 장비를 개발하고자 기존 문헌 고찰 및 국내외 치신기술 동향, 현장조사를 바탕으로 개념디자인을 제시하고 두부정리 자동화 장비의 파일롯타입을 제작$\cdot$실험함으로써 제안된 개념 디자인의 기술적 타당성 제시 및 자동화 장비 개발을 위해 요구되는 설계파라미터를 도출하였다.

재래식 두부정리 작업은 노동 집약적이며 노무자간의 숙련도 차이에 의해 품질 및 작업 생산성이 크게 영향을 받고 있다. 국내 $\cdot$ 외에서는 두부정리 작업의 생산성 및 안전성, 품질을 향상시키기 위해 자동화 장비를 개발 중에 있으나 기존에 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비는 파일 파쇄 작업만을 자동화 대상으로 하고 있고, PHC 파일에 종방향 균열을 발생시켜 두부정리 작업의 품질을 크게 저하시키고 있는 실정이었다. 기존 두부정리 자동화 장비가 PHC 파일에 종방향 균열을 발생시키는 원인은 PHC 파일의 물리적 특성을 고려한 자동화 장비 말단장치의 설계 및 제작, 배치가 제대로 이루어지지 못한 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 기존에 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비 및 본 연구를 통해 현재까지 개발된 두부정리 자동화 장비 파일롯타입의 실험결과를 토대로 PHC 파일을 종방향 균열 없이 효과적으로 파쇄할 수 있는 두부정리 자동화 장비 프로토타입의 말단장치를 개발하고자 한다.

Background and Objectives: Thunderbeat (TB) and Harmonic scalpel (HS) have been applied to variable head and neck surgery, which are useful for both coagulation and cutting of tissues. However, there have been no comparative studies covering the usefulness of these energy devices in surgery for major salivary gland. In this study, we analyzed the surgical outcomes of two devices in surgery for parotidectomy and submandibular gland (SMG) resection. Materials and Methods: A retrospective chart review of 90 patients including two groups (HS group, n=45 versus TB group, n=45) of patients matched for their patient factors was conducted. Clinicopathologic factors of the patients and surgical outcomes such as the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, amount and duration of drain, hospital stay and complications were compared between two groups. Results: There were no significant difference between two groups regarding the clinicopathologic factors and short-term surgical outcomes. Conclusion: Thunderbeat and HS are both effective and safe for parotidectomy and SMG resection in variable benign disease of major salivary gland.
