The interaction of monochlorophenol isomers with the micellar system of TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of monochlorophenol isomers into this micellar system have been measured with the change of temperature. Various thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}G^{\circ}_s$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}_s$, and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}_s$) have been calculated and analyzed from the dependence of $K_s$ values on the temperature. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}_s$ and ${\Delta}H^{\circ}_s$ are all negative but the values of ${\Delta}S^{\circ}_s$ are all positive for the solubilizations of all isomers within the measured temperature range. The effects of additives (n-butanol and NaCl) on the solubilization of monochlorophenol isomers by the same surfactant system have been also measured. There was a great change on the values of $K_s$ and CMC simultaneously with these additives. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization sites of each isomer in the micellar system of TTAB.

In the $4^{th}$ industrial revolution of the latest, the development of the technique in the software field decides the success or failure of a country. With the trend of it, each country makes a countless effort on the education of software. This study reconstructed a questionnaire of the type of personality and conducted a research applied to learners with the help of professionals. I observed the attitude of learners during the programming class and the influence of it on the learning ability of self-oriented learning and learning motivation. As a result of it, there came up with a significant difference (at the side of self-oriented studying and the motivation of studying) depending on the type of personality of learners. Therefore, we can look forward to increasing the effects of self-oriented learning and self motivation by applying to the merits of each type of personality.

The EST Knowledge Integrated System, EKIS (http://ekis.kribb.re.kr), was established as a part of Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology initiative for genome sequencing and application research of the biological model organisms (GEAR) project. The goals of the EKIS are to collect EST information from GEAR projects and make an integrated database to provide transcriptomic and metabolomic information for biological scientists. The EKIS constitutes five independent categories and several retrieval systems in each category for incorporating massive EST data from high-throughput sequencing of 65 different species. Through the EKIS database, scientists can freely access information including BLAST functional annotation as well as Genechip and pathway information for KEGG. By integrating complex data into a framework of existing EST knowledge information, the EKIS provides new insights into specialized metabolic pathway information for an applied industrial material.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance status of the ligal examination of risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders(MSDs). The study was based on in-depth interviews with the persons in charge of the examination in 63 sampled companies, which are various in location, type of industry and size. The interviews were carried out based on detail questions as well as a predefined checklist. The main findings are as follows: 1) More than half of the companies did not properly comply with the laws in performing the examination of MSDs risk factors; 2) In about 60% of the companies, the examination has been carried out by their own persons; 3) 38% of the companies conducting the survey of musculoskeletal symptoms did not diagnosed musculoskeletal symptoms based on the survey; 4) Most companies performed the prevention activities for MSDs such as education/training, stretching, etc.; 5) It was revealed that the 11 high-risk tasks were not considered to be properly defined by the people in the industries, which results in some difficulties such as ambiguity in defining the 11 tasks and unit tasks; 6) The period of the examination of risk factors, classification of periodic and occupational examinations and legalization of employers' obligation for preventing MSDs are considered to be acceptable or desirable, while it was pointed out that regulations for the method of the risk assessment and the person who in charge of the examination need to be modified.

The interaction of p-halogenated phenol derivatives with the micellar system of tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide (TTAB) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. Effects of substituents, additives, and temperatures on the solubilization of phenol derivatives have been measured. The results show that all the values of ${\Delta}G^o$ and ${\Delta}H^o$ were negative and the values of ${\Delta}S^o$ were positive for all phenol derivatives within the measured temperature range. The calculated thermodynamic parameters depended on the size, the electro-negativity, and the hydrophobic property of halogen substituents. The addition of n-butanol results in the decrement in tthe Ks values and the addition of NaCl caused the increment in the Ks values for all the phenol derivatives. From these changes we can postulate that the solubilization sites of the phenol derivatives in the micelle depend severely on properties of the halogen-substituent.

The aim of this study is to calculate the JO-IMRT dose distributions based on the AAPM TG-119 using Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and Prowess Panther treatment planning system (TPS) (Panther, Prowess Inc., Chico, CA). JO-IMRT dose distributions of AAPM TG-119 were calculated by the TPS and were recalculated by MC simulation. The DVHs and 3D gamma index using global methods implemented in the PTW-VeriSoft with 3%/3 mm were used for evaluation. JO-IMRT dose distributions calculated by TPS and MC were matched the TG-119 goals. The gamma index passing rates with 3%/3 mm were 98.7% for multi-target, 96.0% for mock prostate, 95.4% for mock head-and-neck, and 96.6% for C-shape. The dose in the planning target volumes (PTV) for TPS was larger than that for the MC. The relative dose differences in D99 between TPS and MC for multi-target are 1.52%, 0.17% and 1.40%, for the center, superior and inferior, respectively. The differences in D95 are 0.16% for C-shape; and 0.06% for mock prostate. Mock head-and-neck difference is 0.40% in D99. In contrast, the organ curve for TPS tended to be smaller than MC values. JO-IMRT dose distributions for the AAPM TG-119 calculated by the TPS agreed well with the MC.

In recent years, training systems in various industrial fields have been made using virtual reality (VR) technology and widely used in education. Virtual reality based training system is safe, there is no waste of material, and there are many advantages to be able to practice anytime and anywhere. For example, virtual reality welding training simulation system is widely used for field worker because it can perform actual joining of steel plate in immersive environment. At this time, realistic representation of the steel plate joint is important to maximize the effectiveness of the training, but existing techniques have limited the natural expression of the effect. In this study, we propose a method of visualizing joint effect based on shader in order to construct welding training system. The results of this study can be applied to the welding training system to improve the weld training effect to provide the user with high-quality visualization.

Recently, in accordance with the 4th industrial revolution, The use of autonomous mobile robots for flexible logistics transfer is increasing in factories, the warehouses and the service areas, etc. In large factories, many manual work is required to use Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM), so the need for the improved mobile robot autonomous driving is emerging. Accordingly, in this paper, an algorithm for mapless navigation that travels in an optimal path avoiding fixed or moving obstacles is proposed. For mapless navigation, the robot is trained to avoid fixed or moving obstacles through Deep Q Network (DQN) and accuracy 90% and 93% are obtained for two types of obstacle avoidance, respectively. In addition, DQN requires a lot of learning time to meet the required performance before use. To shorten this, the target size change algorithm is proposed and confirmed the reduced learning time and performance of obstacle avoidance through simulation.

Due to the radiation released by commonly used isotopes, many nuclear, medical, and industrial facilities require proper radiation shielding. In this work, distinct copper borate glasses intercalated with varied aluminum and vanadium oxide (Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅) content have been synthesized and used against radiation (gamma rays and fast/thermal neutrons). The different percents were as follows: [60% B₂O₃ + 35% CuO + (5-x)% Al₂O₃ + xV₂O₅], where x = 0, 1, and 2.5 wt.%, which was coded as BCu(5-x)Al:xV. The synthesized glass samples were characterized using Fourier transforms, infrared, and X-Raydiffraction analysis. Experimentally, the radiation shielding possessions of the samples were established using an HPGe detector at the gamma energy lines 0.356 MeV, 0.661 MeV, 1.173 MeV, and 1.332 MeV. Also, the prepared glasses were investigated theoretically using the Monte Carlo code (MCNP5) at photon energies of 0.015-15 MeV. Also, the fast and thermal neutron macroscopic effective removal cross-sections were calculated using MRCsC and JANIS-4.1 software, respectively. The prepared sample BCu2.5Al:2.5V, which has a vanadium and aluminum content of 2.5%, has the highest linear attenuation coefficient as well as the highest removal cross-section for fast, and thermal neutrons.
