Despite of recently strengthened vehicle emission regulations, NOx emissions are not decreased in urban areas because of discrepancies between certification emission test modes and real driving conditions. Thus, researches on RDE-LDV (Real-driving Emission-Light-duty Vehicle) have been conducted actively using PEMS (Portable Emissions Measurement Systems). In the present study, NOx emissions were measured for 5 Korean light duty vehicles for real driving conditions including city, combined, highway, and up-downhill test route. Emission characteristics were analyzed for averaged NOx emissions per unit driving distance of each driving test routes. Furthermore, MAW (Moving Average Window) method based on $CO_2$ emissions from WLTC, which will be supported for EU regulations, was utilized. It was revealed that DRs (deviation ratios) for diesel vehicles (i.e., 5.1 ~ 8.4) were greater than gasoline vehicles (less than 0.15). Especially DR of diesel vehicle for up-downhill test route was 8.4, which indicates severe NOx emissions.

본 연구는 내리막 달리기(downhill running, DR) 후 초음파 영상분석을 이용해 대퇴사두근 무리(quadriceps group, QG) 내 근손상의 국소화 여부를 검증하고, DR 동안 운동 강도가 운동유발성 근손상(exercise-induced muscle damage, EIMD) 및 근육 반향세기 변화에 미치는 영향을 규명하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 규칙적인 신체활동이 없는 건강한 남성 11명이 무작위 교차설계에 따라 서로 다른 강도[low-intensity DR session($50%HR_{max}$), LDR; high-intensity DR session($70%HR_{max}$), HDR]의 DR 운동을 수행하였다. DR 후 EIMD의 심각성은 혈청크레아틴 키나아제(creatine kinase, CK) 활성 수준 변화와 함께 신경근 기능 지수로서 무릎 신전근의 최대 수의적 등척성 수축(maximal voluntary isometric contraction, MVIC) 및 관절가동범위(range of motion, ROM) 변화를 통해 결정되었다. 회색조 분석을 적용한 근육 반향세기 평가는 DR에 따른 QG 내 국소 근육별(rectus femoris, RF; vastus lateralis, VL; vastus medialis, VM; vastus intermedius, VI) 손상 양상을 탐지하기 위해 활용되었다. 모든 세션에서 혈청 CK 활성 수준과 VL 및 VM의 근통증 정도는 운동 후 24시간째(RF의 경우 각각 LDR 24시간째와 HDR 48시간째) 최대에 이르렀으며, 혈청 CK 수준에서 운동 강도에 따른 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 나타난 반면 근통증에서 세션 간 통계적 차이는 없었다. 무릎 관절을 이용한 MVIC 및 ROM과 같은 신경근 기능 지표 및 VM을 제외한 모든 QG 근육 반향세기는 운동 직후 극적으로 감소 또는 증가 후 72시간까지 점진적 회복 양상을 나타내었다. 그러나 신경근 기능 지표에서 운동 강도에 따른 통계적 차이는 없었으나 RF 및 VL 반향세기에서 세션 내 및 세션 간 유의한 차이(p<.01)를 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로 ECC를 함유한 DR 운동 시 운동 강도는 DOMS 및 신경근 기능 지표에 부분적으로 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있으며, 특히 혈청 CK 수준과 함께 RF 및 VL의 근육 반향세기는 운동 강도의 영향을 직접적으로 반영한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 또한, 현재 연구결과는 DR 동안 ECC를 겪는 QG 내 국소 근육 간 근손상 정도가 다를 수 있으며 초음파 근육 반향세기가 국소 근육의 EIMD 심각성을 차별화할 수 있는 유용한 평가기법임을 뒷받침하고 있다.

Here, we report a case of massive rhabdomyolysis following an uncomplicated repair of a ventricular septal defect in a five-month-old baby. Postoperatively, the patient was hemodynamically stable but metabolic acidosis continued, accompanied by fever and delayed mental recovery. The next day, he became comatose and never regained consciousness thereafter. The computed tomography of the brain revealed a diffuse brain injury. The patient followed a downhill course and eventually died on postoperative day 33. An unusually high level of creatine phosphokinase was noticed, peaking (21,880 IU/L) on postoperative day 2, suggesting severe rhabdomyolysis. The relevant literature was reviewed, and the possibility of malignant hyperthermia obscured by cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia was addressed.

This study aims at the development on the wood-frame house construction method in hilly areas. To obey the trend of public opinion to prohibit the troublesome development on a large scale in preparing housing sites, the small housing site development in hilly areas is on the rise and consequently wood-frame house which harmonized natural topography, geographical feature and environment in hilly areas is needed. The main contents are how to make housing sites, how to make roads, how to make pedestrian ways and surroundings of water to run downhill, how to locate house, how to make between road and house, how to view inner and outer and how to make retaining wall on the wood-frame house construction method in hilly areas.

The electric power, regenerated while railway vehicles braking or running downhill, makes U line voltage rise and the feeding system may not be secure. In order to keep away from these kind of insecurity, the regenerative energy should be consumed by loads or transmitted to the AC side via certain devices such as DC/AC converters. This paper introduces the developed regenerative inverter for electric railway.

This paper describes an obstacle detecting system of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). The unmanned ground vehicle is consists of several systems such as vehicle control system, navigation system, obstacle detecting system and integration system.

We implement a system for 3D structure reconstruction from multiple 2D images. It uses geometric primitives such as box, wedge, pyramid, etc, each having translation, rotation, and scale parameters. Primitives are marked on input images with GUI (Graphic User Interface). Lines made by projection of primitives onto an image correspond to marked line segments of the image. Error function is defined by disparity between them and is minimized by downhill simplex method. By assigning relationship between models, the number of parameters to solve can be decreased and the resultant models become more accurate To share variables among other models also reduces computational complexity. Experiments using real images have shown that the proposed method successfully reconstructs 3D structure.

In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical study on flow pattern in winter along connecting passageway of a composite building was conducted using a commercial CFD package. The incompressible Navier-Stokes equation coupled was solved by using SIMPLE algorithm in order to find steady solutions. It was shown that a upward flow is generated inside the building in winter due to buoyancy effect and that the air inside connecting passageway flows from the shorter building to the taller one regardless of the slope of the passageway. Further, it was found that the magnitude of air velocity inside connecting passageway increases as the uphill slope to the taller building increases and decreases as the downhill slope to the taller one increases, although the variation in the magnitude of fluid velocity is not substantial. Lastly, it was shown that the maximum air velocity inside connecting passageway is less than the allowable limit for all the cases considered in this study.

To reduce the cost and increase reliability of die and mold products, automation of the finishing (polishing) process is essential. A major element of automation is a reliable database and a knowledge base for polishing status. This paper presents a polishing expert system which can determine optimal polishing sequences and conditions by using an empirical formula and an experimental database. The simplex method was used for the curve fittings of the experimental results. Also a graphical user interface, which visualizes the optimized results, was developed.

현재 고속도로 상의 노후 교량에 대하여는 재하시험을 통하여 정량적인 내하력 평가를 수행하고, 만족스러운 수준의 내하력이 확보되지 않은 경우에는 보수, 보강 또는 교체를 수행한다. 그러나 교통량이 많은 고속도로사의 교량에 대해서는 재하시험이 매우 어렵고, 센서 케이블 작업으로 인하여 작업성이 떨어지는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점들을 개선하기 위하여 상시교통하중에 의한 교량 내하력 평가 시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 내하력 평가 대상 교량에 대하여 상시진동계측을 수행하였으며, 계측된 데이터를 통하여 교량의 동특성을 추정하였다. 추정된 동특성을 바탕으로 초기 해석 모델을 Downhill Simplex 방법을 이용하여 개선하였으며, 개선된 교량 모델을 이용하여 재하시험을 시뮬레이션 함으로써, 처짐 보정 계수를 구하였다.
