The purpose of this study was to analyze the golf swing motion for a soft golf clubs and regular golf club. Soft golf is a newly developed recreational sports for all ages, including the elderly and the beginners of golf. To quantify the effect of using soft golf club, which much lighter club than regular clubs, a motion analysis has been performed using a 3D optoelectric motion tracking system that utilizes active infrared LEDs and near-infrared sensors. The subject performed swing motion using a regular golf club and a soft golf club in turn. The obtained motion capture data was used to build a 3D computer simulation model to obtain left wrist, elbow shoulder and lumbar joint force and torque using inverse and forward dynamics calculations. The joint force and torque during soft golf swing were lower than regular golf swing. The analysis gave better understanding of the effectiveness of the soft golf club.

Soft Golf is a newly developed recreational sport in our research team aimed to become a safe and easy-to-learn sport for all ages. The advantage of Soft Golf stems from lighter weight of the club and much larger area of the sweet spot. The purpose of this study is to analyze ground reaction force(GRF) and joint angle during soft Golf club and regular golf club swing. The GRF of golf swing was recorded by 3-D motion analysis system and forceplate. The joint angle of golf swing was obtained from computer simulation model. The GRF and joint angle of golf swing are used to analysis of golf swing pattern. The pattern of GRF and joint angle during soft golf club swing was similar to that during regular golf club swing. This result means that soft golf club reduces the risk of injury and has an effect on similar entertainment of regular golf.

Automatic gain control(AGC) is used in hearing aids to compensate for the hearing level as to reduced dynamic range. AGC is consisted of the main 4 factors which are compression threshold, compression ratio, attack time, and release time. This study especially focus on each individual need for optimum release time parameters that can be changed within 7 certain range such as 12, 64, 128, 512, 2094, and 4096ms. To estimate the effect of various release time in AGC, twelve normal hearing and twelve hearing impaired listeners are participated. The stimuli are used by one syllable and sentence which have the same acoustic energy respectively. Then, each of score of the word recognition score is checked in quiet and noise conditions. As a result, it is verified that most people have the different best recognition score on specific release time. Also, if hearing aids is set by the optimum release time in each person, it is helpful in speech recognition and discrimination.

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a major foodborne pathogen causing severe disease in humans worldwide. Healthy cattle are a reservoir of E. coli O157:H7, and bovine food products and fresh produce contaminated with bovine waste are the most common sources for disease outbreaks in the United States. E. coli O157:H7 also survives well in the environment. The abilities to cause human disease, colonize the bovine gastrointestinal tract, and survive in the environment require that E. coli O157:H7 adapt to a wide variety of conditions. Three major virulence factors of E. coli O157:H7 have been identified including Shiga toxins, products of the pathogenicity island called the locus of enterocyte effacement, and products of the F-like plasmid pO157. Among these virulence factors, the role of pO157 is least understood. This review provides a board overview of E. coli O157:H7 with an emphasis on pO157.

The filamentous cyanobacterium Arthrospira platensis strain MMG-9 was isolated from a rice field. The ability of this strain to synthesize the bioactive compound indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was demonstrated. IAA was extracted from the culture of A. platensis strain MMG-9 and its identity was confirmed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) as well as by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The IAA precursor L-tryptophan was required for IAA biosynthesis. Released IAA increased with the increase of the initial concentration of L-tryptophan in the medium and with the incubation time. A. platensis strain MMG-9 accumulated more IAA than it released into the medium. The bioactivity of the secreted IAA was shown by its effect on the formation of roots by Pisum sativum. There was a significant positive effect of the supernatant of cultures of A. platensis strain MMG-9 on the number of lateral roots of P. sativum, whereas a negative effect on root length was observed.

유럽연합은 1990년대에 접어들면서 미국과의 경제 격차가 점차 확대되자 미국을 따라잡기 위해 리스본 전략을 채택하였다. 이 전략의 목표는 유럽의 정보화를 통한 성장, 고용, 사회적 참여로 요약할 수 있다. 리스본 전략에서 제시된 정보화 모토는 정책과 연구개발을 2개의 기둥으로 하고, 이 두 영역간의 긴밀한 상호협조를 통해 유럽정보화의 시너지를 창출하자는 것이었다. 정책 부문은 리스본 전략에서 출발하여 신 리스본 전략, i2010 전략으로 발전되어 왔으며, 이에 맞추어 연구개발 부문은 FP5, FP6으로 발전되어 오다가 현재는 FP7이 시행되고 있다. 본 고에서는 FP7의 ICT 연구프로그램에서 제안하는 도전과제와 미래기술전략을 소개하는 한편, 그 정책적 시사점을 도출하였다. FP7 ICT 연구프로그램은 유럽이 차세대 ICT 및 그 사용에 있어서 세계 선도 그룹에 들기 위해 극복해야 할 7가지 도전과제를 제안하고 있다. 이들 도전 과제들은 크게 업계의 기술 목표 및 사회경제적 목표 달성을 위한 과제로 이분할 수 있으며, 향후 10년 간의 목표와 성과물을 제시하고 있다. FP7 ICT 연구프로그램 중 '미래 및 새로 부상하고 있는 기술(FET)' 프로젝트는 예상하지 못했던 아이디어와 발전에 효과적으로 대응하기 위하여 '개방형 FET프로젝트'와 '전 방위적 FET 프로젝트'의 두 가지 상호보완적 플랜을 운영하고 있다. 본 고에서는 이들 프로젝트에 대하여 성과목표, 기대효과, 자금지원 및 예산분배계획을 간략하게 소개하였다. 결론부에서는 앞에서의 논의를 토대로 우리나라의 미래 ICT 기술개발 전략 구상시 참조해야 할 정책적 시사점을 제시하였다.

To measure the mass distribution of galaxy systems weak-lensing analysis has been widely used because it directly measures the total mass of a system regardless of its baryon content and dynamical state. However, the weak-lensing only provides a map of projected surface mass density. On the other hand, galaxy redshift surveys provide a map of the three-dimensional galaxy distribution. It thus can resolve the structures along the line of sight projected in the weak-lensing map. Therefore, the comparison of structures identified in the weak-lensing maps and in the redshift surveys is an important test of the issues limiting applications of weak-lensing to the identification of galaxy clusters. Geller et al. (2010) and Kurtz et al. (2012) compared massive clusters identified in a dense redshift survey with significant weak-lensing map convergence peaks. Both assessments of the efficiency of weak-lensing map for cluster identification did not draw a general conclusion, because the sample is so small. Thus, we additionally perform deep imaging observations of fields in a dense galaxy redshift survey that contain galaxy clusters at z~0.2-0.5, using CFHT Megacam.

A series of Sr-Si-S compounds was synthesized using an advanced chemical method in which the use of one solution-based process uniformly dispersed the $Eu^{2+}$ activators in the host crystals, to find new compositions that would suit phosphor applications. Particular focus was given to the Si-rich region. This led to the synthesis of a single-phase compound that showed an unknown X-ray diffraction pattern. This compound had a composition close to that of $SrSi_2S_5$. When this compound is activated with $Eu^{2+}$ ($SrSi_2S_5:Eu^{2+}$), it shows a cyan-blue emission with a main luminescence peak at 495 nm. This emission is excited by wavelengths of 250-440 nm and has a maximum excitation at 350 nm.

화상분석(image analysis)을 이용하여 제품의 외관(外觀) 품질을 정량적으로 추정할 수 있는 소프트 센서를 설계하고, 이를 제품의 품질 모니터링에 적용하는 연구를 수행하였다. 여기에 사용된 방법론은 크게 다음의 세 단계로 구성되어 있다: (1) 웨이블릿 변환(wavelet transform)을 이용한 화상으로부터의 질감(texture) 특징 추출, (2) 추출된 질감특징의 부공간 투영(projection on subspace)을 통한 제품 외관의 추정, 그리고 (3) 질감특징의 잠재변수(latent variables) 즉, 외관의 수치적 추정치를 목적에 맞게 사용. 이 방법에서는 제품의 외관을 서로 다른 불연속적인 부류로의 분류 보다는, 연속적인 외관 변화를 일관적이고 정량적으로 추정하는데 초점을 두고자 한다. 이 방법은 인조대리석 외관의 수치적 추정과 품질 모니터링 적용사례를 통해 설명되었다.

In these days, the researches about hybrid and fuel cell electric vehicles are actively performed due to the environmental contamination and resource exhaust. Specially, the technology of regenerative braking, converting heat energy to electric energy, is one of the most effective technologies to improve fuel economy. This paper developed a regenerative braking control algorithm that is considered vehicle stability. The vehicle has a inline motor at front drive shaft and has a EHB(Electo-hydraulic Brake) system. The control logic and regenerative braking control algorithm are analyzed by MATLAB/Simulink. The vehicle model is carried out by CarSim and the driving simulation is performed by using co-simulation of CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink. From the simulation results, a regenerative braking control algorithm is verified to improve the vehicle stability as well as fuel economy.
