In respiratory-induced proton therapy, the accuracy of tracking system and beam controlling is more important than photon therapy. Therefore, a high accuracy motion tracking system that can track internal marker and external surrogate is needed. In this research, our team has installed internal and external marker tracking system at our institution's proton therapy system, and tested the scanning with gating according to the position of marker. The results demonstrate that the developed in-house external/internal marker based gating system can be clinically used for proton therapy system for moving tumor treatment.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of attentional focus and distance of external focus on the performance of balance task of upper extremity. Subjects (N=30) held a stick (2 m) and maintained it horizontally. All of the subjects performed balance task of upper extremity under four different attentional focus conditions: focus on hand (internal focus), marker at 10 cm inside of hand (external focus 1), marker at 10 cm outside of hand (external focus 2), marker at 20 cm outside of hand (external focus 3). The mean velocity of the bar (mm/s) and the muscle activity of biceps brachii (%RVC) were measured. They were decreased when the subjects focused on external focuses compared to internal focus and decreased as distance of attentional focus from body increased (p<.05). There were significant differences between groups (p<.05); internal focus-external focus 1, internal focus-external focus 2, internal focus-external focus 3, external focus 2-external focus 3. These results showed that external focus is more effective than internal focus in enhancing motor performance and focusing on more distant attentional focus results in enhanced motor performance promoting the utilization of more automatic control mechanisms.

The status of the Korean morphological marker '-e ci' has been controversial whether it is a passive marker, an anticausative marker, or a passive/anticausative marker. However, the previous approaches that tried to classify '-e ci' constructions based on the syntactic verb classes (i.e. intransitive or transitive) were short of explaining the properties of the constructions. In this study, the '-e ci' constructions were distinguished based on agentivity, following Levin & Rappaport Hovav (1995) and Alexiadou et al. (2006). Moreover, how the verbal root meaning is associated with the passive/anticausative construction was investigated by means of Distributed Morphology (DM) (Embick 2010; Marantz 1997). I argued that the morphological marker '-e ci' is the instantiation of the absence of external arguments. With respect to the behavior of the Korean '-e ci' constructions with the semantics of each verbal root class, I found out that the '-e ci' constructions can form passives with the verbal roots that require the external arguments; whereas, the anticausatives cannot be formed with the roots that necessarily require the agentive arguments. However, contrary to the previous arguments that '-e ci' passives can be only formed with transitive verbs, it is discovered that non-agentive transitive roots do form anticausatives. Moreover, I argued that there are two types of the anticausatives - zero and '-e ci' anticausatives. Since the valency reduction is marked by the non-active voice morphology, the zero anticausatives appear only with the roots that do not require external arguments. The different '-e ci' constructions (passives, '-e ci', and zero anticausatives) are represented by the distinct syntactic structures. I proposed that the morphological similarity between the passives and the '-e ci' anticausatives is due to the presence of VoiceP, which introduces the external arguments. Moreover, the lack of the voice morphology in the zero anticausatives is explained by the absence of the VoiceP.

This study aimed to evaluate the nutrient digestibility of growing rabbits fed diets with different levels of either Leucaena leucocephala (LLM) or Moringa oleifera (MOLM) leaf meals and also to compare total collection and $TiO_2$ marker methods for estimating digestibility. A total of 30 California growing rabbits ($1.81{\pm}0.19kg$ live weight on average) were randomly distributed into five experimental groups of six rabbits each and were housed in individual cages. The groups were control, 30% LLM, 40% LLM, 30% MOLM, and 40% MOLM. All groups received pelleted diets for two weeks; diets also contained 4 g/kg titanium dioxide as dietary marker. Daily feed intake was recorded during the whole experimental period and total feces were collected daily and weighed individually during four days. The results showed that there were no difference (p>0.05) in feed, dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP), digestible energy, and crude fiber (CF) intake between the control group and the other experimental groups. The apparent digestibility values of DM, OM, CP, CF, acid detergent fiber, and gross energy were the highest for control group (p = 0.001), meanwhile MOLM diets had generally higher nutrient digestibility coefficients than LLM diets. Increasing the inclusion level of leaf meal in the diet from 30% to 40% improved the digestibility of CF from 45.02% to 51.69% for LLM and from 48.11% to 55.89% for MOLM. Similar results for apparent nutrient digestibility coefficients were obtained when either total collection or indigestible marker method was used. In conclusion, the digestibility of MOLM containing diets were better than LLM diets, furthermore $TiO_2$ as an external marker could be used as a simple, practical and reliable method to estimate nutrients digestibility in rabbit diets.

Background: There are insufficient objective or quantitative evidence for the better intervention to improve proprioception particularly for the application of external load. There are conflicting opinions whether the external load is effective for proprioception improvement or not. Objects: The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of external load on proprioception of shoulder joint quantitatively using 3D motion capture system. Methods: Nine healthy adults joined for this study. They were asked to perform scapular plane abduction motion with attaching reflective markers on the trunk and upper limb. The 3D positions of finger marker, while they performed the same task with and without external load, were recorded and analyzed. Results: All participants showed decreased variable errors in the vertical direction when the external load was applied (p<.02). Even though other directions (y, z) and absolute errors increased, they did not have statistical significances. Conclusion: Based on this study results, the external load application would be effective for shoulder joint position sense improvement.

본 연구에서는 마커없이 구조물의 변위를 측정할 수 있는 영상기반 변위계측 시스템(NVDMS)을 제안한다. 기존의 방식과 제안하는 NVDMS는 크게 두 가지의 차이점이 있다. 첫째, NVDMS는 마커를 사용하지 않고 구조물의 특징점의 픽셀좌표 변화를 추출한다. 둘째, 특징점의 픽셀좌표를 물리좌표로 변환하는 scaling factor는 기존 방식에선 마커의 크기로부터 계산되는 반면, NVDMS에서는 카메라와 구조물사이의 거리, 각도, 초점거리로 계산된다. 3층 축소모형의 자유진동 실험에서 제안한 NVDMS로부터 얻은 변위데이터의 신뢰도를 분석하기 위해 LDS로부터 얻은 변위데이터의 비교를 하였으며, 얻어진 변위데이터를 이용하여 동특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과 NVDMS는 마커없이 구조물의 동적변위를 정밀하게 측정가능할 뿐만 아니라 얻어진 변위데이터로부터 추출한 동특성의 신뢰도 또한 높았다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the kinematic variables of the upper part of the body for 8 elderly men during walking. For this study, kinematic data were collected using a six-camera (240Hz) Qualisys ProReflex system. The room coordinate system was right-handed and fixed in space, with righted orthogonal segment coordinate systems defined for the head, trunk, and pelvis. Based on a rigid body model, reflective marker triads were attached on the 3 segments. Three-dimensional Cartesian coordinates for each marker were determined at the time of recording using a nonlinear transformation(NLT) technique with ProReflex software (Qualisys, Inc.). Coordinate data were low-pass filtered using a fourth-order Butterworth with cutoff frequency of 6Hz. Three-dimensional angles of the head, trunk, and pelvis segment were determined using a Cardan method. On the basis of each segment angle, angle-angle plot used to estimated the movement coordinations between segments. The conclusions were as follows; (1) During the support phase of walking, the elderly people generally kept their, head the flexional and abductional posture. Particularly, the elderly displayed little internal/external rotation. (2) The elderly people showed extensional and external rotation postures in the trunk movement. Particularly, It showed the change from adduction into abduction at the heel contact event of the stance phase. (3) The elderly people showed almost same pelvis movement from the flexion into extension, from the abduction into adduction, and from internal rotation into external rotation at the mid stance and toe off of the stance phase.

본 연구는 호흡조절방사선치료(Respiration gated radiotherapy)를 위해 종양의 실제 움직임과 호흡조절감시장치로 측정한 피부움직임과의 차이를 분석하여 호흡조절방사선치료 시 발생 가능한 오차를 예측하고자 하였다. 호흡에 따른 종양의 움직임을 알아보기 위해 본원에서 2007년1월 10일부터 2월 28일까지 횡경막 주위의 종양 움직임이 큰 폐부위 환자8명, 복부부위 환자 2명에 대해 투시검사기와 호흡조절감시장치를 이용하여 종양의 움직임 영상 및 복부에 위치시킨 적외선 반사장치의 움직임을 측정하였으며, 이 두 측정값의 차이를 정량적으로 비교 평가하였다. 투시검사기에서 종양의 움직임은 $1.3{\sim}3.5cm$ 종축방향(craniocaudal direction)으로 측정되었으며, 호흡조절감시장치는 $0.43{\sim}2.19cm$ 종축방향(craniocaudal direction)의 움직임이 측정되었다. 두 측정값의 비는 $1.31{\sim}5.56$으로 나타났으며 정규화 한 두 값의 표준편차는 $0.08{\sim}0.87cm$ (평균 0.204 cm)로 나타났다. 위상차가 존재한 patient 3를 제외하면 평균 0.13 cm, 최대 0.23 cm의 차이를 보이고 있다. 호흡조절감시장치로 종양의 움직임을 예측할 경우 0.23 cm 차이 이내에서 잘 예측됨을 말 수 있었고, 이 결과로 호흡조절방사선치료 시 0.2cm 정도 오차범위 내에서 치료가 가능할 것으로 예측된다. 다만 위상차이가 있는 환자는 호흡조절방사선치료를 적용하지 않는 것이 바람직하다고 생각된다.
