Emission from road traffic is one of the major sources of air pollution, and provides some undesirable effects on the atmspheric environment and human health. In the city of Seoul, the higher portion of diesel vehicles runs compared with that of other countries. Emission from the diesel vehicles is much higher than that of other vehicles. In this study, the driving pattern of city-bus in Seoul is investigated through on-road vehicle test and compared with the test modes of other countries in order to examine appropriateness of the present test mode that is taken in our country.

본 논문은 고주파 전원에 사용되는 풀 브릿지 부하 병렬형 고주파 공진 인버터 회로를 연구대상으로 하고 출력제어기법으로는 펄스 주파수 변조(PFM, 펄스 폭 변조(PWM) 그리고 펄스 위상 변화(Phase-Shift)잎 경우를 비교 검토하였다. 회로의 해석은 정규화 파라메타를 도입하여 범용성 있게 기술하였고, 인버터 특성은 3가지 구동신호패턴에 의한 스위칭 주파수($\mu$), 펄스폭($\theta$d), Phase-Shift의 위상차각($\phi$)의 변화와 제 파라메타에 따라 특성 평가를 행하였다. 실험을 통해 이론해석의 타당성을 검증하였다. 향후, 3가지의 구동신호제어기법에 의한 특성들은 유도가열 응용, DC-DC 컨버터 등의 전원 시스템의 출력제어 시에 유용한 자료로 제공될 것으로 사료된다.

This study was performed to investigate LBP(low-back pain) prevalence rate and its related factors inphysical therapists. A self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted to 522 physical therapists in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk. The LBP prevalence rate for recent 6 months was $61.7\%$. According to age, the prevalence rate was highest in the group aged 24 or less for both male and female physical therapistis. For male physical therapists , it was higher in smokers and drivers, but for female ones, it was not in a significant relationship with smoking and driving. According to work experience, the prevalence rates of those who had been working for less than one year were the highest, and those who had been working at hospitals and clinics were $69.1\%$, significantly high. According to therapy techinque, the prevalence rate related ti PNF was $71.6\%$, the highest and to occupational therapy was $34.3\%$, the lowest. According to working environment for six months, in both male and female physical therapists. LBP prevalence rate was in a statistically significant relationship with work hours during the day, night and weekend duties, repetitive works, motions that bend or twist the waist, the number of patients per day, the number of time to help patients per day, the number of time to carry medical equipment per day and the length of time to work standing. The rate was also higher when physical therapists fekt nire stress from their work. According to the result of multiple logistic regression analysis, male was in a significant relationship with work experience and motions that bend or twist the waist and female was in a significant relationship with work hours during the night and weekend duties, the number of time to help patients per day, motions that bena or twist the waist, actions taken to protect the waist. As for the developmental pattem of LBP in the group of physical therapists with LBP for six moths, $15.7\%$ of them had LBP for first time, $42.3\%$ had recurred LBP, and $42.0\%$ had chronic LBP. As for the causes of LBP, $51.7\%$ said that it was because they worked in the same posture for a long time, and as for how to treat LBP, 48.8% said that they treated themselvs or got help from their co-wokers. The results presented above suggest that physical therapists are exposed to high risk of LBP caused form occupational activities. Therefire, it is necessary to improve working environment to reduce the occurrence of LBP and to develop education programs for preventing the occurrence and recurrence of LBP.
