Machine learning is comprised of supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning as the type of data and processing mechanism. In this paper, as input and output are unclear and it is difficult to apply the concrete modeling mathematically, reinforcement learning method are applied for crawling robot in this paper. Especially, Q-Learning is the most effective learning technique in model free reinforcement learning. This paper presents a method to implement a crawling robot that is operated by finding the most optimal crawling method through trial and error in a dynamic environment using a Q-learning algorithm. The goal is to perform reinforcement learning to find the optimal two motor angle for the best performance, and finally to maintain the most mature and stable motion about EV3 Crawling robot. In this paper, for the production of the crawling robot, it was produced using Lego Mindstorms with two motors, an ultrasonic sensor, a brick and switches, and EV3 Classroom SW are used for this implementation. By repeating 3 times learning, total 60 data are acquired, and two motor angles vs. crawling distance graph are plotted for the more understanding. Applying the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm, it was confirmed that the crawling robot found the optimal motor angle and operated with trained learning, and learn to know the direction for the future research.

Training for radiation protection and control requires a visual understanding of radiation, which cannot be perceived by the human senses. Trainees must also master the effective use of measuring instruments. Traditionally, such training has exposed trainees to radiation sources. Here, we present a novel e-training strategy that enables safe, exposure-free handling of a radiation measuring tool called a survey meter. Our mixed reality radiation-training system merges the physical world with a digital one. Collaborating with a mixed reality headset (HoloLens 2), this system constructs a mock-up of a survey meter in real-world space. The HoloLens 2 employs a browser-based application to visualize radiation and to simulate/share the use of the survey meter, including its physical movements. To provide a dynamic learning experience, the system adjusts the survey-meter mock-up readings according to the operator's movements, distance from the radiation source, the response time of survey meter, and shielding levels. Through this approach, we expect that trainees will acquire practical skills in interpreting survey-meter readings and gain a visual understanding of radiation in real-world situations.

Epidural adhesions cause pain by interfering with the free movement of the spinal nerves and increasing neural sensitivity as a consequence of neural compression. To remove adhesions and deliver injected drugs to target sites, percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis (PEA) is performed in patients who are unresponsive to conservative treatments. We describe four patients who were treated with a newly developed inflatable balloon catheter for more effective PEA and relief of stenosis. In the present patients, treatments with repetitive epidural steroid injection and/or PEA with the Racz catheter or the NaviCath did not yield long-lasting effects or functional improvements. However, PEA and decompression with the inflatable balloon catheter led to maintenance of pain relief for more than seven months and improvements in the functional status with increases in the walking distance. The present case series suggests that the inflatable balloon catheter may be an effective alternative to performing PEA when conventional methods fail to remove adhesions or sufficiently relieve stenosis.

Magnetic hysteresis in Ni nanowire arrays grown by electrodeposition inside the pores of anodic alumina templates is studied as a function of temperature in the range between 5 K and 300 K. Nanowires with different diameters, aspect ratios, inter-wire distance in the array and surface condition (smooth and rough) are synthesized. These microstructure parameters are linked to the different free magnetic energy contributions determining coercivity and the controlling magnetization reversal mechanisms. Coercivity increases with temperature in arrays of nanowires with rough surfaces and small diameters -33 nm and 65 nm- when measured without removing the alumina template and/or the Al substrate. For thicker wires -200 nm in diameter and relatively smooth surfaces- measured without the Al substrate, coercivity decreases as temperature rises. These temperature dependences of magnetic hysteresis are described in terms of an effective magnetic anisotropy $K_a$, resulting from the interplay of magnetocrystalline, magnetoelastic and shape anisotropies, together with the magnetostatic interaction energy density between nanowires in the array. The experimentally determined coercive fields are compared with results of micromagnetic calculations, performed considering the magnetization reversal mode acting in each studied array and microstructure parameters. A method is proposed to roughly estimate the value of $K_a$ experimentally, from the hysteresis loops measured at different temperatures. These measured values are in agreement with theoretical calculations. The observed temperature dependence of coercivity does not arise from an intrinsic property of pure Ni but from the nanowires surface roughness and the way the array is measured, with or without the alumina template and/or the aluminum support.

서울의 대중교통체계 개편에 따른 시내버스업체의 생산성 변화를 사고비용 고려여부에 따라 비교분석하였다. 사고비용과 같은 유해한 산출물을 고려하면서 공공기관의 생산성 분석에 적합한 자료포락분석기법의 방향거리함수를 사용하였으며, 그 값을 맘퀴스트 루엔버거 생산성 지수에 적용하였다. 시내버스업체는 운전, 정비, 관리, 차량, 연료의 투입물을 사용하여, 운행거리, 승객수 및 사고비용을 생산하는 기업형태로 상정하였다. 분석결과 사고비용 고려여부와 상관없이 생산성은 약간 증가한 것으로 나타났으며, 사고비용을 고려했을 때가 제외했을 때보다 약간 더 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 이는 시간의 흐름에 따라 운행거리와 승객 수에 대한 투입물의 사용이 줄어들었을 뿐만 아니라 그 이상으로 안전성과 관련한 서비스가 향상되었음을 의미한다. 또한 개편 분야별 생산성 변화에 미친 영향을 분석해본 결과, 운행속도 증가와 승객 수 증가가 생산성 증가에 가장 영향을 미친 것으로 나타났다. 이는 중앙버스전용차로 설치와 대중교통통합요금거리비례제 도입의 결과를 반영하는 것으로 이들이 시간의 흐름에 따라 투입물을 감소시키면서 사고비용을 줄이는데 효과적이었다고 볼 수 있다. 다만 준공영제를 포함한 운영체계의 개편은 생산성 증가와는 관련은 있었으나 큰 영향을 미치지는 못하였다.

발파(發破)에 있어서 천공배치(穿孔配置)는 발파효과에 영향(影響)을 미치는 가장 중요(重要)한 요소중(要素中)의 하나다. Burn-cut 의 폭발(爆發)의 여러 요소(要素)에 관(關)한 연구(硏究)는 Brown, Cook에 의(依)해 발표(發表)된 바 있으나 본연구(本硏究)에 있어서는 Burn-cut 와 Pyramid-cut의 천공배치(穿孔配置)의 대비(對比)와 폭원(爆源)과 자유면(自由面)사이의 역학적(力學的) 응력해석(應力解析)에 중점(重點)을 두어 이등교수(伊藤敎授)가 전개(展開)한 이론(理論)에서 다루지 않은 주정천공배치(週正穿孔配置)에 의(依)한 Burn-cut의 효과을 연결(連結)시켰다. 종래(從來)의 이론(理論)에 의(衣)하면 단일자유면발파(單一自由面發破)에 있어서는 압축응력외(壓縮應力外)에 자유면(自由面)에서 반사(反射)되는 인장응력(引張應力)의 영향(影響)을 추가(追加)로 받는다. 본(本) 신천공(新穿孔) 배치(配置)에 의(依)한 Burn-cut는 자유면수(自由面數)의 증가(增加)와 거리(距離)의 축소(縮少)를 꾀하므로서 이효과(效果)는 더욱 증대(增大)된다. 이와 같은 효과를 위(爲)해서는 다음 두가지 점(點)을 고려해야 한다. 첫째 심기공(心技孔)의 무장약공(無裝藥孔)은 보조응력(補助應力)을 크게 하기위(爲)해 가능(可能)한 대구경(大口徑)으로 깊게 천공(穿孔)해야 한다. 둘째 각 심기공간(心技孔間)의 거리(距離)를 접근(接近)시켜 완전(完全) 발파(發破)를 기(期)해야 한다. 그 까닭은 구경(口徑)이 증가(增加)됨에 따라 2차(次) 자유면(自由面)은 넓어지고 거리가 가까울수록 장약공(裝藥孔)과 무장약공(無裝藥孔)사이의 인장응력(引張應力)은 더욱 발달(發達)되기 때문이다. 선진국(先進國)에서는 심기공(心技孔)사이의 거리(距離)를 4"로 함이 이상적(理想的)이라고 알려지고 있으나 본실험(本實驗)에 의(依)하면 더 욱 근접(近接)될수록 파괴암석(破壞岩石)이 증가(增加)되고 굴진장(掘進長)도 깊어짐이 밝혀졌다. 나아가서는 굴진장(掘進長)을 더욱 증대(增大)시키기 위(爲)해 Burn-cut로 부터 Large hole Burn-cut를 개발(開發)하여 발파회수(發破回數) max 7회(回)/일(日)로서 1발파당(發破當) 3.1m까지 시도(試圖)함으로서 고속도굴진(高速度掘進)의 기원(起源)을 마련했다. 또한 대구경(大口徑) Burn-cut에서는 큰 저항(抵抗)을 극복하기 위해 금속초유폭약(金屬硝油爆藥)을 사용(使用)함이 더욱 효과적(效果的)임이 입증(立證)됐다. 최근(最近)에 와서 저렴(低廉)한 가격(價格)과 취급안전(取扱安全)으르 각광을 받고있는 AN-FO는 비료용 또는 공업용(工業用) 초안(硝安)에 연료유(燃料油)를 혼합(混合)한 것으로서 외관(雷管)만으로는 순감(純感)하여 폭발(爆發)하지 않으나 Gelatin Dynamite등(等)의 폭발성(爆發性) 예감제(銳感劑)에 의(依)해 발파공내(發破孔內)에서 일단 기폭(起爆)되면 종래(從來)의 초안폭약(硝安爆藥)에 상당(相當)한 위력(威力)을 발휘(發揮)케 한다. AN-FO 폭제(爆劑)의 성능(性能)에 관(關)해서는 많은 보고(報告)가 있었으나 본(本) 실험(實驗)에 의(依)하면 초유혼합비(硝油混合比)는 분상(粉狀)은 93.5:6.5, prill상(狀)은 94:6이 최적(最適)이며 분상(粉狀) AN-FO는 prill상(狀) AN-FO보다 항상(恒常) 폭속(爆速)이 높다. 또한 기폭감도(起爆感度), 충격감도(衝擊感度), 진거감도(塵據感度) 등(等) 제감도(諸感度)는 타화약(他火藥)에 비(比)해 몹시 경감(鏡感)하며 전폭성(傳爆性)은 prill상(狀)이 분상(粉狀)보다 우수(優秀)함을 얻었다. 발파후(發破後) Gas도 양호(良好)하며 AN-FO는 제조후(製造後) 7일(日) 전후(前後)가 최대효과를 갖는다. 종래(從來) AN-FO는 지난 여러해 동안 로천굴(露天掘)에만 사용(使用)하여 왔으나 필자(筆者)는 AN-FO의 기초성능시험(基礎性能試驗)을 토대(土臺)로 이를 이용(利用)한 신종폭제(新種爆劑)로서 금속초유폭약(金屬硝油爆藥)과 수중폭약(水中爆藥)을 발전(發展)시켰다. 금속초유(金屬硝油)의 폭약(爆藥)은 AN-FO와 Al 금속분말의 혼합물(混合物)이며 수중폭약(水中爆藥)은 종래폭약(從來爆藥)과 AN-FO로 제조(製造)한 바 이에 관(關)해서는 다른 논문(論文)에 기술(記述)했다. 본(本) 연구(硏究)에 있어서는 단일자유면(單一自由面) 발파(發破)에 있어서 격유폭약류(隔油爆藥類)를 사용(使用)한바 그 효과(效果)가 매우 양호(良好)하였음을 확인(確認)하였다.

The oxidation of silicon wafers is an essential step in the fabrication of semiconductor devices. It is known to induce degradation of electrical properties and lattice strain of Si substrate from thermal oxidation process due to charged interface and thermal expansion mismatch from thermally grown SiO, film. In this study, convergent beam electron diffraction technique is employed to directly measure the lattice strains in Si(100) and $4^{\circ}$ - off Si(100) substrates with thermally grown oxide layer at $1200^{\circ}C$ for three hours. The ratios of {773}-{973}/{773}-{953} Higher Order Laue Zone lines were used at [012] zone axis orientation. Lattice parameters of the Si substrate as a function of distance from the interface were determined from the computer simulation of diffraction patterns. Correction value for the accelerating voltage was 0.2kV for the kinematic simulation of the [012]. HOLZ patterns. The change in the lattice strain profile before and after removal of oxide films revealed the magnitudes of intrinsic strain and thermal strain components. It was shown that $4^{\circ}$ -off Si(100) had much lower intrinsic strain as surface steps provide effective sinks for the free Si atoms produced during thermal oxidation. Thermal strain in the Si substrate was in compression very close to the interface and high concentration of Si interstitials appeared to modify the thermal expansion coefficient of Si.

Background: Anterior atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS) is a frequent phenomenon in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). AAS compresses the C2 ganglion or nerve and is a cause of posterior neck pain or occipital headache. Methods: We selected RA patients that had developed posterior neck pain or occipital headache caused by AAS. AAS was diagnosed by an increase of ADI (atlantodental interval). A distance of 3 mm or more was considered significant. Patients with vertical subluxation or symptoms suggestive of myelopathy were excluded. Before C2 RF ganglionotomy, we proceeded with a C2 ganglion block or greater occipital nerve block used by local anesthetics. For C2 RF ganglionotomy, the patient was placed in the supine position on a fluoroscopic table. A 100 mm, 4 mm active tip electrode was chosen. Following sensory stimulation at 0.2 to 0.6 V, the lesion was performed at a temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ to $65^{\circ}C$ for 60 sec. We followed up the patient after 6 months later. Results: All cases were female and the average duration of RA was 8.5 years. The duration of posterior neck pain or occipital headache was 1-8 months. The average ADI was 4.2 mm and the McGregor index was 3.3 mm on the average. In all cases, the score on the 4 point Likert scale was 4 (pain free) during the follow-up period. Conclusions: We found that the occipital headache or posterior neck pain caused by AAS in rheumatoid arthritis patients was alleviated over a short term follow up. C2 RF ganglionotomy is suggested as an effective palliative treatment for AAS in RA patients.

MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks)는 이동성이 있는 상태의 모바일 노드들이 자율적인 이동 네트워크 구조를 갖는 것을 말하며, 일반적인 무선 네트워크는 크게 트리구조(Tree structure) 및 메쉬구조(Mesh structure)로 나누고 있다. 따라서 이러한 네트워크 구조의 특성에는 전송경로의 단절, 전송 중첩 및 망의 지속성을 보장이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 온톨로지 기반의 도플러효과를 이용한 동적인 라우팅 프로토콜 방법으로 ODDMRP (Ontology Doppler effect-based Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol)기술을 제안한다. 본 논문의 ODDMRP에서는 노드들의 엔트로피(Entropy)에 의한 도플러 효과(Doppler effect)와 이를 이용한 주변 노드(node)들의 이동위치, 이동시간 및 분포도 등 전송되는 전송 속도(Velocity) 뿐만 아니라 노드의 이동방향과 속성체계구조(Property structure organization)가 포함된 기술을 제안하고자 한다. 이러한 구조는 최적화(Optimized)된 전송 경로를 유지하며 경로의 안정화(Stabilization) 및 연결의 지속성(Continuation durability of connectivity)을 향상시킨다.

Large concrete structures are prone to cracks and damages over time from human usage, weathers, and other environmental attacks such as flood, earthquakes, and hurricanes. The health of the concrete structures should be monitored regularly to ensure safety. A reliable method of real time communications can facilitate more frequent structural health monitoring (SHM) updates from hard to reach positions, enabling crack detections of embedded concrete structures as they occur to avoid catastrophic failures. By implementing an unconventional mode of communication that utilizes guided stress waves traveling along the concrete structure itself, we may be able to free structural health monitoring from costly (re-)installation of communication wires. In stress-wave communications, piezoelectric transducers can act as actuators and sensors to send and receive modulated signals carrying concrete status information. The new generation of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) based smart aggregates cause multipath propagation in the homogeneous concrete channel, which presents both an opportunity and a challenge for multiple sensors communication. We propose a time reversal based pulse position modulation (TR-PPM) communication for stress wave communication within the concrete structure to combat multipath channel dispersion. Experimental results demonstrate successful transmission and recovery of TR-PPM using stress waves. Compared with PPM, we can achieve higher data rate and longer link distance via TR-PPM. Furthermore, TR-PPM remains effective under low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio. This work also lays the foundation for implementing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) stress wave communication networks in concrete channels.
